Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points

Chapter 370: Chapter 363 – Finding a Way to Conquer the Ancient Banyan Tree_1

After the demon ant devoured the Blood Gu, its lifespan increased by 200 years.

It achieved a lifespan of 270 years.

This was already longer than the lifespan of human Innate Realm experts.

Its intelligence also increased, and like Fourth, it acquired a morphing ability.

It could transform its body as if it were smoke.

This was a very powerful ability.

Originally, only Gu could have such ability.

They were equivalent to possessing an exclusive ability of a Gu, which could significantly increase their survival rate when attacked by powerful foes.

Qin Niu was very much looking forward to seeing the effects when these ten demon ants went into battle the next time they encountered a formidable enemy.

Previously, when he let the termites fight against Spirit Qi Realm or Innate Realm experts, he did not dare let Fourth or the demon ants engage in close combat with the enemy.

Because they could easily be squashed by the enemy.

Now that they had the morphing ability,

it would not be so easy to kill them, as they could transform into smoke.

If only their self-healing ability could be a little stronger, that would be even better.

The current self-healing ability of the demon ants had reached an intermediate level, meaning they could quickly recover from general injuries.

After checking the new attributes of the demon ants, Qin Niu subconsciously reviewed the Green Silk Worm.

This fellow was still evolving.

It had the easiest time consuming the Blood Gu, but its evolution was taking the longest.

According to his experience in breeding insects, this was a good sign.

Because whether they were insects or beasts and birds, the longer the evolution time, the stronger the strength after evolution.

Initially, Green Ox’s evolution took as long as two months.

After its evolution was completed, its abilities were incredible. The golden light that shot out from its horns could capture opponents or items directly. As its cultivation increased in the future, during magical combat, Green Ox would be the master of ambush and plundering enemy treasures.

Having finished cultivating the termites, Qin Niu entered the maze of the Ancient Banyan Tree directly.

The body of Elder Mei had long since become nutrients for the Ancient Banyan Tree, leaving no remnants.

The Ancient Banyan Tree seemed more lush and verdant than before.

Qin Niu practiced beneath the tree, without mentioning taking the Banyan Tree Blood.

Now with the active cooperation of the Ancient Banyan Tree, he found it very convenient to extract the Banyan Tree Blood.

This also gave him more ideas.

He had lured strong enemies to the front of the Ancient Banyan Tree twice in a row, trying to make the enemies enter it. But each time, the enemies noticed the danger and avoided it.

If Qin Niu wanted to make this deep mountain his stronghold with the Ancient Banyan Tree at its center, he definitely needed to solve a problem. It would be great if it were also safe for him to enter the maze of the Ancient Banyan Tree at night.

In that case, he could directly hide within the maze of the Ancient Banyan Tree.

He would be safe inside, and if enemies dared to pursue him into it, they would immediately be attacked by the Ancient Banyan Tree.

By then, even if the enemy was a Spirit Qi Realm expert, Qin Niu would have the confidence to kill them within the maze.

“Ancient Banyan Tree, oh, Ancient Banyan Tree, we are now old friends. Can we strike a deal to let me stay inside at night too, without being attacked by you?”

Qin Niu stroked the tree’s trunk thick enough for several people to embrace and sent a sliver of Everlasting Spring Technique’s cultivation energy into the tree.

This was deliberately offering it a benefit.

Everyone in this world is moved by profit; everyone bustles about for the sake of profit.

As long as there are enough benefits, even ghosts would be willing to grind at the mill for humans.

The trunk showed no response.

It was like an inanimate object, devoid of consciousness and thought.

Qin Niu knew it was certainly not an inanimate object but had a certain level of consciousness. Otherwise, it would not have actively shown goodwill when Qin Niu was extracting its blood.

At this time, it should be close to evening outside.

Because the branches and leaves of the Ancient Banyan Tree were constantly drooping lower, the height from the ground was only about three meters.

Qin Niu carried the Ancient Banyan Tree Blood out of the maze and then charged back in.

Having reached the Innate Realm and possessing the King Pig Leather Armor, he had a bit more resistance against the attacks of the Ancient Banyan Tree.

Even though he could not resist for long, being instantly killed was basically out of the question.

“Don’t attack me, I’m one of us!”

Qin Niu shouted.

It’s of no use.

The Ancient Banyan Tree simply couldn’t understand human language.

Although its branches constantly hung down, they automatically parted on either side of where Qin Niu stood. It was intentionally avoiding Qin Niu.

The chilling energy falling onto his head was also much less than in other places.

Qin Niu stood there, desperately resisting the continuously falling chilling energy.

He felt it was probably a form of self-cleansing and purification.

Every night, it would commence an evolution of the ground beneath it, not only protecting itself from pests and harmful birds but also obtaining constant new energy by killing the invaders.

This allowed the tree to grow more lushly and also accelerated its promotion speed.

Qin Niu stood there, not moving an inch.

He quickly realized this method wouldn’t work.

Drowsiness kept striking him, his blood flow slowed, his body felt extremely cold, and the operation of his inner cultivation technique became sluggish.

All of this was telling him to hurry and escape.

Otherwise, he would be mercilessly killed by the Ancient Banyan Tree.

Having no choice, he escaped the banyan tree’s labyrinth following Fourth’s guidance.

After getting out, he felt normal again after a short rest.

He wasn’t willing to give up and entered the labyrinth once more.

It was only now that he dared to attempt repeatedly so boldly. If it had been any earlier, such behavior would have been suicidal.

As soon as he entered the labyrinth, he felt the terrifying chilling energy pouring down.

When he had escaped earlier, the chilling energy over his head was merely a drizzle. Now, it had turned into a moderate rain.

If it were deep into the night, it would surely become a downpour.

Just the drizzle-level chilling energy was already something Qin Niu could barely resist.

If it turned into a pouring rain, he would probably not last even a second.

The Ancient Banyan Tree seemed to recognize him again, and the branches overhead automatically parted, reducing the descending chilling energy by several times.

However, Qin Niu still couldn’t withstand it for long.

He eventually had to escape again.

He was somewhat discontent.

The Ancient Banyan Tree was already very friendly towards him and recognized him as a ‘friend.’ So why couldn’t it achieve zero attack?

With these doubts, he returned home.

His wives were already waiting for him to come home for dinner.

They still hadn’t purchased any maids, so it was Xiao Qing along with the two wives who did the household chores together.

The family sat around the table for dinner, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

In a family with two wives, as long as they didn’t fight out of jealousy and there was no infighting, the household would be very harmonious.

In many wealthy families, the female members often did not dine together at the table but had servants bring the prepared food to their rooms to eat separately.

“Ah Niu, how is your cultivation going lately? Have you broken through the bottleneck?”

Tang Caixian asked him.

Her words were pregnant with meaning!

It had only been a few days since their wedding, and Qin Niu hadn’t been sleeping in their bed, leaving the two young wives alone at night, which was certainly unacceptable.

“Oh, it should be soon. After the Innate Realm, each step is a hurdle, so it might still take some time.”

Qin Niu answered perfunctorily.

The Black Spider Gu had been silent all this time, and he couldn’t find it when he looked within, which made him feel uneasy.

Being completely unable to locate it, taking control of it was even more impossible.

“Cultivation is the foundation, it’s important, and you should focus on cultivating at ease. Cai Xian is just concerned about you, she has no other intentions,”

Wang Wanyan said from the side.

The two women must have discussed it beforehand.

They both wanted Qin Niu to spend the night with them.

“I will make the most of my time. If you have questions about cultivation, feel free to ask me anytime. If you want better cultivation techniques, I have some here as well.”

After Qin Niu finished speaking, he lowered his head and focused on eating.
