The Supreme One

Chapter 540: Pest Control Problem

After arranging them, Xia Xian stopped caring about them and continued studying.

For him, there is not much benefit to be gained from this pest control competition.

Now there is a spiritual well in his courtyard, and a huge amount of original spiritual power is constantly pouring out. However, according to the information collected, the gains from hard work of removing insects will not be more than directly absorbing the original spiritual power here.

Moreover, in addition to the original spiritual power, there are other spiritual powers that can be absorbed outside. In comparison, the outside world is naturally more suitable for him.

As for obtaining the insect crystal containing the original spiritual power from other people, it is also unrealistic. No one has too much of this thing. If you want to exchange it, you have to take out a rule spiritual object of equal value, but that doesn't make much sense at all.

Therefore, the emergence of this insect extermination competition seems to have no meaning to Xia Xian. It is better for him to continue to practice and study outside.

Over the past thirty years, Xia Xian's knowledge system has grown tremendously, far exceeding what he had accumulated over the past hundred years.

And even if your brain power does not continue to improve, you will learn faster as time goes by.

Nowadays, the knowledge contained in a lot of information hardly requires any brainpower. You can extract useful knowledge by just scanning it with your brain.

The vast amount of small details and knowledge points require him to use his brain a little to deduce the more core knowledge points. Now the most important direction, the research on the fourth level of the spiritual power and spiritual information world is progressing steadily.

It would only take him a few minutes to study and refine a spiritual pattern. Of course, this was also because he had the experience before.

But unfortunately, Sheng Wuya and the others were unable to hide it, even if they could research a suitable refining spiritual pattern for them.

It is one thing for him to be able to practice perfectly, but it is another thing if he can make it easy for others to embark on the path of perfect practice. The threat index to his clan will directly rise by more than one level.

It’s better to keep this kind of thing secret. As long as he doesn’t move, the other races will feel at ease.

However, he did not think about participating in the competition. But a few months later, Sheng Wuya and the others came to his yard together, looking miserable.

Xia Xian was also puzzled after seeing this. He sat up and poured each of them a glass of enlightenment wine, and asked doubtfully:

"What? What problem did you encounter?"

"Hey, it's still that bug extermination competition. It's giving me a headache."

"I can't beat them. I absolutely can't beat them. Every time I go in, it's all random, and the monster insects I encounter are also random. One time, I was even teleported directly into the face of a monster insect comparable to a great cultivator of the Divine Transformation Realm, and I died immediately."

"The main thing is that each of these strange insects has some kind of rule-based power, either attack-related rules or restrictive rules. There are even rules that guarantee death. If triggered, you'll die. It's a headache."

As soon as Xia Xian asked, they immediately started complaining, one after another, and soon pieced together the problems they were facing.

In fact, the main problem is the special rules of these strange insects.

After all, they are all transformed from the original spiritual power. After Lord Gu Rong stimulates the chaotic characteristics in his body, they will also evolve randomly in a certain direction, forming a variety of special rules.

For example, the spirit-banning rule directly prohibits the release of spiritual power.

One-on-one duel rules: lock on to one person for a one-on-one battle, and any attacks from other teammates around him will be directly ineffective.

There are even those rules that are certain to kill you, rules that say you can't look back, as if you do you'll lose your head, and rules that say you can't take a step, so you can only hop and walk.

All these things are the most disgusting. You can win by fighting with strength, but it becomes difficult to win after being restricted in various ways.

Even a one-on-one fight would be fine, but these strange insects just swarm up like a swarm. As soon as they meet, no matter what else they do, they will be subject to dozens or hundreds of rules and restrictions. Many times, they can't even use their full strength and are squeezed to death.

Moreover, during this period of time, various forces in the academic city have been continuously exploring in depth. Although their progress is not much different from theirs, they are all tortured to death. Each time they can only barely get an insect crystal if they are lucky.

But they were not completely without gain. After accumulating massive amounts of data, they were lucky enough to learn a secret of these spiritual insects.

They can also enhance your strength!

The method used is to squeeze and devour each other. This phenomenon should be very common in spiritual veins.

It is just because of another mechanism that order will erode chaos and turn chaos into order, and chaos will also instinctively erode order and try to turn order into chaos.

So even if they were still devouring each other before, once the monk who represents order enters, those spirit insects that are still devouring each other will swarm towards the monk and kill him.

Therefore, this phenomenon of mutual devouring is extremely difficult to capture.

He was also an old man who had realized some rules of concealment. After adding various concealment states to himself before entering, he was able to hide for a few seconds and see the scene of these spiritual insects devouring each other.

Unfortunately, it can only hide for a moment. After all, the power of rules and spiritual arts represents order, and in the eyes of chaotic spiritual insects, they are as bright as torches in the dark night.

Now, before they enter the insect extermination competition, they have become accustomed to using various spiritual arts and a lot of blessings before entering. After all, this is not a serious competition, so this method is acceptable.

But even so, they could only rely on luck to enter repeatedly several times a day, and in the end they could barely harvest one or two insect crystals.

Even though Lord Gu Rong's teleportation usually sends people to a group of spirit insects of roughly the same level, they can't last too long.

Moreover, the further time goes by, the higher the average realm of these spiritual insects becomes. Their entire school has reached a consensus that if they don't find a way to clean up these spiritual insects, they will probably open this insect removal competition to the entire Gurong City soon.

At that time, they will have to compete with the entire Gurong City, which will be much more difficult.

After all, there are too many cultivators in other cities. If countless students who graduated from the Science City do not return to their own clans, they will stay in other cities.

The students in their academy seem to be the cream of the crop in the world, but this cream is produced every year and is actually not that scarce.

At least in Gurong City, their school city does not actually have much advantage.

So now the entire academic city is very eager to solve this problem.

All parties were looking for various solutions, and the method of hiding was one of them, but unfortunately it was useless.

And the result was that the pressure was gradually transmitted, inexplicably but very reasonably transmitted to the Evergreen Association and to Xia Xian.

After all, when it comes to researching new things, Xia Xian is generally recognized as the best in the world.

If no one else can solve it, then the only one who can solve it is Xia Xian.

So normally one person would come over from time to time to have a drink with him, but now the pressure has been passed down from the bottom to them, and they had no choice but to come together.

"Old Xia, do you have any ideas? These spirit insects are really hard to deal with!"

Sheng Wuya and the others didn't need to hide anything in front of Xia Xian. Apart from sarcastic jokes, they could say whatever they wanted.

Xia Xian also felt a headache after hearing this. It was another troublesome matter. The most important thing was that there was no solid data to study. He had to go and do some more research.

"Then I'll go down and take a look. I can't say for sure when the research will be completed."

He was not worried that he would not be able to figure out a solution. After all, the fundamental reason for the appearance of this spirit insect was actually on him.

The only question is how much time it will take. However, I don’t have any other major research projects at the moment, and my brain power is plenty. It would be monotonous to just keep studying, so I might as well find a specific research project to exercise my brain.

Mo Li, who was standing by, felt relieved after hearing Xia Xian's words. Since Xia Xian said there was no problem, there was no need to worry.

Instead, his little brain turned and he suddenly smiled and said, "Since those other people are putting pressure on us, why don't we just charge some fees? Brother, a few insect crystals from you won't be of much use, but if you have more, it should be useful, right?"

After all, they are not doing charity. Even if they do charity, it has to be for their own race. Other races are naturally hostile. If they want to obtain Xia Xian's research results, they have to pay something.

There is nothing wrong with this, paying for knowledge is very reasonable.
