It’s too difficult to cultivate immortality, so I used a strange beast to clone myself into a Taoist

Chapter 1 Raising Autumn Insects

Dajiang is one of the thirty-six counties in Huainan Prefecture, heading to Feng County.

Wang's house.

The moonlight was hazy, and dew climbed up along the roots of the grass.

The third watch was just around the corner, and Li Qinglin, who had been sleeping lightly, woke up regularly, immediately put on his coat, turned over and jumped out of bed.

There is no need to hold a lamp, there is a pit in the house, and there are shallow flames rising inside and outside the pit, and the orange light illuminates the whole room.

There is a small basin in the pit. There are three female crickets in the basin. They are shaking their crickets peacefully and inserting their long tails into the soil.

"The temperature is a bit high and the thin ice is melting."

After looking at the situation in the basin, Li Qinglin pushed open the door, and his breath turned into a ball of ice.

Not daring to delay, Li Qinglin shoveled down a thin layer of smoothie from the already frozen water bucket in the courtyard.

Then move the smoothie to the edge of the pit inside the house, wait for it to be melted by high temperature, and then dried...

Smoothie, bake, repeat, seven times.

A layer of light mist had already enveloped the house, and the female cricket made a rustling and lazy sound. Li Qinglin lit up the fire, took off his coat and hung it in front of the door curtain to block the wind, and then tiptoed out of the house.

After wiping his sweat, he leaned against the wall of the courtyard door and slowly took out a half-eaten rice cake from under his paper coat. He didn't mind it and ate it slowly with a handful of smoothie.

In Feng County, all the houses of famous families, large and small, like to raise autumn insects and pride themselves on their elegance.

They even hired a master with a high salary to specialize in the hatching and care of autumn insects. Among them, the top-grade autumn insects were worth not only tens of thousands of gold, but also several taels of silver.

It should be noted that buying ten bushels of polished rice today only costs half a tael, or about fifty taels, which is enough to feed a family of five for two or three months!
  "Sure enough, no matter which world you are in, exploitation is the iron law."

As for Li Qinglin, he was naturally not the master of raising autumn insects, but a tenant of the royal residence.

"In about three or four days, these crickets will have finished laying eggs. At that time, the eggs and adults will be handed over to Master Ma's care, and I can breathe a sigh of relief."

"Yesterday, Xiao Liu just made a mistake and killed a female cricket from the heat, so the housekeeper killed half of her life!"

"I, a traveler from another world, really embarrassed the mighty army of time-travelers..."

After swallowing the last bite of the rice cake and carefully licking the residue from the corner of his mouth, Li Qinglin let out a long breath.

After traveling through this world for only half a month, Li Qinglin had already given up the idea of ​​seeking an advanced body with the insight and knowledge of modern people.

Without him, although this world is also a feudal dynasty, there are warriors who are capable of splitting mountains and rocks, and marching thousands of miles across thousands of armies. Even the immortal cultivators in the story books occasionally appear!
  The concentration of great power in one body was something that was not possible in the thousands of years of dynasty changes in previous lives.

Human beings cannot speculate about the world beyond their knowledge, and Li Qinglin was not surprised.

Therefore, if Guangji Liang slowly becomes king, let’s start by raising insects honestly.

and……

In the hazy sky, Li Qinglin lowered his head slightly and looked at his chest. His eyes changed, and he didn't know what he thought of.

"Brother Lin, are you done?"

"Good morning, brothers. There are two grasshoppers in my room, and they are really annoying me. They made a lot of noise all night long!"

"Come on, come on, the days are finally over!"

Four or five tenant servants who were about the same age as Li Qinglin also came out of their respective yards, complaining in a familiar voice.

Li Qinglin mingled among them, occasionally speaking in response.

"By the way, have you heard about it?!"

The person who took the initiative to greet Li Qinglin just now is called Donkey Face. As the name suggests, his face is extremely slender. It is said that it was caused by his mother's dystocia.

Donkey's face stuck out his head, lowered his voice, and said with joy,

"An arrest warrant was posted on the eight-character wall of the government a few days ago, saying that there is a murderer who uses force to break the ban, practices evil skills that can quickly become vicious, and specializes in ripping out the hearts of children and teenagers!
  The government has offered a reward of one hundred taels of silver to all the warriors in the city. If you want to see the person alive, if you want to see the body if you die! "

Heart-stealing?

Are you specifically targeting children and teenagers?

When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly tightened. Is the Lezi man still a Lezi?

Donkey Face saw the panic on several people's faces and laughed: "Are you scared?!"

"Aren't you afraid?" Donkey's face suddenly raised his chest and said proudly: "But I want you to know that I, brother, am not a boy!!"

As soon as this statement came out, it naturally attracted bursts of envy from the rest of the tenant farmers, guessing that the donkey's face was near the water tower and had kissed the fragrance of some maid.

Amidst the noise, Li Qinglin smiled softly.

……

The sky was brightening and everyone had already dispersed.

Li Qinglin returned to the house, squatted in front of the pit, and carefully fiddled with the sand at the tail of the cricket with a twig, and found more than a dozen light green and transparent eggs, with the whiskers clearly visible.

Then he picked out two eggs that were slightly smaller and seemed to be stunted.

The female cricket made a somewhat dissatisfied buzz.

Li Qinglin chuckled and picked up two insect eggs with his fingertips. It could be seen that he had done this behavior that harmed the public and enriched his private life.

Pushing open the cover of the well in the courtyard, Li Qinglin leaned forward slightly, his eyes wandering around.

Soon, a bombe toad half the size of a palm was found in the crack of the damp bluestone well wall.

The whole body is green, the back is rough, and the bumps are dotted with some black spots.

The strange thing is that this bombe toad does not seem to be afraid of Li Qinglin.

Li Qinglin's somewhat dark face was reflected in his heart-shaped pupils.

【Other transformation】

[Name: Li Qinglin]

【Lifespan: 15/57】

[Realm: Ordinary]

[Alternate clone: ​​Bombe Toad (92% refining)]

[Freedom Furnace: Heart Toad (cannot be activated)]

[By transforming all kinds of spiritual beasts and foreign objects into a furnace, one can obtain their numerology, supernatural powers, and bloodline. With an ordinary body, one can gain insight into the secrets of heaven and earth. This is the ultimate immortal.]

That's right, this is Li Qinglin's golden finger!
  As the name suggests, he can refine other spiritual beasts or foreign objects into clones, and he can smelt the clones and feed himself back!

Use your own power to control thousands of clones, gather the secrets of heaven and earth, and become the ultimate immortal!

Of course, there are notes about the Immortal at the end of the panel, which are a bit like painting cakes.

Only this time, Li Qinglin, who has been a bull and a horse for two lifetimes, enjoyed it like a cake!
  He subconsciously covered his chest.

There was no movement or ups and downs in the chest, and it was even a little cold. There seemed to be some depressions under the thin paper fur, and it only took a gentle force to press it into the chest.

This body has no mind.

What Donkey Face and others didn't know was that he died in the hands of the murderer in the notice and was disemboweled on a rainy night half a month ago.

From then on, Li Qinglin's soul traveled to this point, and then he awakened the golden finger.

In this world, there are warriors who can kill people with a snap of their fingers. They are aloof and regard the so-called "ordinary people" as sacrifices for practicing martial arts, killing them at will.

In the end, we still have to pick and choose, why do we only want children?
  Why?
  Li Qinglin stretched out the insect eggs twisted in his fingertips and shook them a few times in front of the toad.

Whoosh!
  The pink and slender tongue quickly poked out, rolled the tip of the tongue, and took the two eggs into his belly.

Li Qinglin's fingers felt soft, moist, and warm.

The bombe toad let out a low cry and used its thick forelimbs to pull up its lower eyelids.

The two eggs were quickly digested by the powerful digestive system of the bombe toad, and a light warmth quickly spread throughout the body.

The size of the bombing toad also increased at a speed that Li Qinglin could see with the naked eye, from being smaller than half a palm at the beginning to being as big as half a palm.

[His clone: ​​Bombe Toad (92%...93%...) during refining]

The refining progress is slowly increasing.
