I'm raising mosquitoes using science as an ordinary person.

Chapter 7: Supplier of Food for Spirit Insects in Spirit Beast Mountain!

When the swarm of blood mosquitoes reached a certain size, Meng De knew he couldn't hide it any longer. However, Meng De didn't intend to conceal it. As a seasoned veteran of the outer sect of Spirit Beast Mountain, he knew there were countless ways in the world to cause the number of ordinary mosquitoes to explode exponentially.

So when Mengde decided to raise mosquitoes, he had already designed the "blood mosquito product line".

As the saying goes, even a mosquito's leg is still meat. The blood mosquitoes that Mengde is currently raising are comparable to tiny flying fleshy balls, and once their numbers increase, the meat supply will be quite considerable.

Now, many poisonous insects and birds near Heishuizhuang treat Mengde's blood mosquitoes like little steamed buns, eating them one by one for fun.

"Why are you raising so many mosquitoes?" Yunxi asked casually as she led Mengde into the Black Bee Palace.

"Let's test the breeding experience we accumulated at the Spirit Beast Peak and see if we can find common ground in the field of insect breeding." Meng De followed behind Yun Xi, curiously looking at the novel environment around him, while stating the reason he had prepared long ago.

"So what was the result?" Yunxi led Mengde to a wall in the Black Bee Palace covered with notices, then tilted her head slightly and took a closer look at Mengde's rather handsome profile for the first time.

"There are many similarities, but also many differences. We still need to learn more." Meng De followed Yunxi's gaze to the notice wall called "Mission List." His eyes narrowed slightly, and with just one glance, he saw that there were many bounty missions on it.

"Compared to other sects, our Spirit Beast Mountain has much lower requirements for its disciples. After all, the cultivation cycle of spirit beasts is very long, and it is not worth the effort." Yunxi stood under the task wall of the Black Bee Hall. From time to time, disciples of the Spirit Beast Mountain came to scan the list. If they found a suitable task, they would take it down and then go to the inner room under the guidance of the Qi Refining Realm staff of the Black Bee Hall.

In Yunxi's introduction, Mengde had already seen several very rewarding missions on the mission wall:

[Searching for Spiritual Bloodline]

Mission requirements: Find one hundred spiritual blood essences, regardless of species.

Task Reward: Foundation Establishment Realm Beginner Magic Item.

[Reward for the List of Amazing Insects]

Task details: Different rewards will be given based on the type of strange insect provided and the completeness of the information.

Quest Reward: Foundation Building Pill or other equivalent items.

[Guarding the insect garden...]

[Assisting in the breeding of spirit insects...]

[Insect Food]

Task requirements: I urgently need a large quantity of stable live blood food for breeding Golden Spirit Insects, regardless of species.

Quest Reward: One Spirit Insect Egg.

The Black Bee Palace's quest list has many quests with different contents, but the one that really appealed to Meng De was the one about food for spirit insects.

"Spirit insect eggs... those things can't be hatched by you right now." Standing under the mission board, Yunxi followed Mengde's gaze and saw the mission notice that Mengde was paying attention to. She couldn't help but shake her head slightly.

"Does Senior Sister know who issued the mission?" Meng De asked curiously.

"Of course I know." Yunxi nodded gently. "Actually, that's why I came to meet you."

"The person who issued this task is none other than Master's eldest disciple, Senior Sister Qingli, who is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm." Yunxi looked at Mengde, her beautiful brows furrowing slightly: "To be honest, I am currently at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining. To break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, I must take a Foundation Establishment Pill. However, Foundation Establishment Pills are extremely difficult to obtain. Therefore, I need a spirit insect to prepare for the Blood Trial three years from now."

Upon hearing this, Meng De's eyes flickered slightly, then he bowed slightly and said softly, "I hope Senior Sister can give me some guidance."

Meng De was naturally curious about spirit insect eggs. However, compared to the short-term benefits that spirit insect eggs could provide, the short-term benefits offered by Yunxi, who was at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, were clearly greater.

Furthermore... Senior Sister Qingli is a powerful cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm, while Meng De, who is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, is actually not suitable for fighting alone. If he had the guidance of the 'elder' Yunxi, Meng De's early cultivation path would obviously be much easier.

"If you can guarantee that you have enough blood mosquitoes, then I am willing to provide you with more channels, but I need the spirit insect egg that Senior Sister gave me." Yunxi gave her conditions.

Yunxi's intention was simple: after discovering that the mosquitoes Mengde was raising at Blackwater Village were large and had plenty of flesh, making them suitable as food, she wanted to cooperate with him. Yunxi would provide the 'sales channels,' Mengde would provide the food, and they would each get what they wanted in the end.

Why doesn't Yunxi raise insects for food herself?

The reason is simple: it would delay cultivation, and the losses would outweigh the gains. In the eyes of most normal cultivators like Yunxi, cultivating powerful spirit insects could provide combat strength, and as long as the combat strength was sufficient, everyone would look like prey.

Within Qingling Peak, there are also people who specialize in raising insects for food, but those are menial tasks, not things that formal disciples should do.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister. I am deeply grateful." Meng De accepted Yunxi's suggestion without hesitation.

Although... Yunxi seemed to be treating him like a laborer... well, for a long time, Mengde was happy to do these things.

Moreover, Yunxi's background is clearly not simple; at least, it is much stronger than Mengde's.

"Here you go. I'll come back for the insect food in three days." Yunxi tossed Mengde a magnificent storage bag the size of a fist.

Meng De peered into the storage bag and roughly estimated that it contained ten cubic meters of space, which was extremely valuable.

"However... ten cubic meters of blood food... that's a bit much..." Standing outside the Black Bee Palace, Meng De watched Senior Sister Yunxi's departing figure as she piloted the flying boat, his brows furrowing slightly.

Shaking his head, Mengde packed everything up and sailed back to Blackwater Village.

"Three days...that should be enough for the new generation of blood mosquitoes to emerge." As dusk approached, Meng De stood by the emergence pool at Blackwater Manor, listening to the roar of the air from the burst of billions of flying mosquitoes around him. With a thought, he went to the backyard, led out the old green ox, attached a plow to it, and began to cultivate a new water trough within Blackwater Manor.

It took two days to increase the area of ​​the water tank in Blackwater Manor several times over before Meng De released the old green ox and returned to the Feathering Pool.

"Senior Sister Yunxi will arrive tomorrow, so let's do it now." Meng De stood beside the boiling black water of the Feathering Pool, his sword finger brushing against his index finger, a drop of bright red blood gathering at his fingertip.

hum! ! !

The moment Mengde's blood condensed at his fingertips, the previously quiet swarm of insects instantly erupted into chaos! Billions of insect wings vibrated, and blood mosquitoes within a ten-mile radius all caught the scent of Mengde's blood and converged on him at top speed!

Hundreds of millions of mosquitoes, each the size of a kidney bean, swarmed around Mengde's head like dark clouds, unleashing a powerful roar!

That dense, overwhelming mass made it impossible to see anything outside!
