Chapter 19: Dilemma
With a pair of broken legs, and covered in cuts Sage was going to have a hell of a hard time getting out of here. His storage ring was already in quite the mess so he checked the beast bag. Blinking with disappointment as he couldnt even send his consciousness inside. There was a huge hole stabbed into the front of it and not a bug to be found. Frowning, Sage had a quick look around, checking for any nearby insects.
With the true Insect Immortal Index I have a chance. I just need to find an insect. Mmm, and something that flies would be best.
Delving into the storage ring, he put a plan into motion. Sorting through the mess left within, he picked out a jar of sugar and set it in a small bowl. Mixing in some water and making a bit of syrup, he then used the Qi Feeding technique of the Insect Immortal Index to make the syrup into a food for Spirit Insects. With the trap laid, he quickly consulted the manual for the true Insect Immortal Index. Studying rapidly to master the improved abilities. His plan depended on it.
Within a few minutes, there was a small gathering of bugs on the little tray of sugar water. He made sure to flick away the regular insects, letting only the Spirit Insects around. Now, there was a choice hed have to make. Should he pick something small and easy to nurture, like that little fly? Or should he choose the largest and most powerful, like that hornet?
Mmm, no. Ive got just the one.
One of the Spirit Insects was a Silver Leaf Honeybee, or more commonly Silverbee. They were usually found around the Silver Leaf Flower, a Spirit Plant that blooms under the moonlight. Famous for producing Moonhoney, which looked like translucent mercury and had many marvelous properties. Linking with a Silverbee would not only save him now but could be quite useful in the future. It was time to start the plan.
The amount of qi required is normally something that would take even more time than simply using mature to improve size, but Sage had bottles of qi cultivating pills! He also had Spirit Jade and Spirit Stones, both of which were basically qi batteries. Well, more like a capacitor and a battery. Spirit Jade could let out large quantities of qi in a burst and be recharged many times before they finally wear down, while Spirit Stones would crumble into dust when they were empty and couldnt be recharged.
Setting out a few Spirit Stones onto his lap, and holding a Spirit Jade in his hand, Sage popped a basic qi gathering pill into his mouth. This pill multiplied the rate at which a cultivator could breathe in the energy of the heaven and earth, which was very helpful in the lower ranks, almost doubling their cultivation rate. Releasing the Silverbee from the net, he started to pour his qi into it. Simultaneously drawing upon the stones and jade to replenish the energy he expended. Combined with the pills effect, he was just barely able to match rate of recovery with that of his expenditure.
The little Silverbee started to rapidly change, growing only slightly in size but changing rapidly in form. The metallic shine of its silver and black body grew by the second, looking to be forged from actual metal after just a few minutes. The thick hairs first looked like shimmering fur quickly changing to glistening spikes. The Silverbees abdomen (the butt!) grew larger and longer, just like a queen bee would have. Its stinger lost the barb and lengthened, shining viciously in the light. Originally the size of a pocket watch, and many times larger than a normal honeybee, the Silverbee had nearly doubled in size, its body the size of a thumb with four inch wings that looked like silver gossamer. The Silverbee had finally reached an equal level of cultivation as Sage and the space within it was now large enough for him to fit into!
I cant wait for the space to grow large enough to carry an army around!
With time still an issue, Sage quickly sent himself into the Silverbees inner space. Looking around, it felt like he was floating in mist. Not especially comfortable, but he still had the bees senses to use. Ordering her up into the air, the first step was cleaning up this mess! Buzzing around, Sage had the bee fly past all the objects hed thrown out of his storage ring earlier. Scooping them back up into the ring as rapidly as possible, it only took a few minutes to gather the majority of the mess. He even recovered half the Insect Cages, all of them empty, but with another stroke of luck he found a pair of Spirit Jade Beetles under the ledge of a rock and scooped them up. Holding them in an Insect Cage and tucking it into his torn up robes.
He found no traces of the other Spirit Insects hed brought from the Back Mine, but there was the handful hed captured under the net with the syrup. With a few cages in his hands he scooped up the remaining bugs and had the Silverbee do one last pass over the area before telling it to head home.The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.
