"Fox Ancestor...I wonder if you could bestow upon me...the medicine for Foundation Establishment..." Qing Li hesitated slightly, but still mustered the courage to try and secure more benefits for Meng De.
Of course, if the Fox Hill Taoist in front of her were not her true ancestor in terms of bloodline, and the other party had not shown any blood ties, Qing Li would not have dared to ask any more questions.
"Hmm?" Fox Hill Taoist raised his head slightly and glanced at Qing Li.
"I beg the Fox Ancestor to punish me!" Qing Li's heart tightened instantly when Fox Hill Daoist's gaze swept over her, and she quickly lowered her head to admit her mistake.
"It's still unknown whether a human cultivator with four spiritual roots can even reach the late stage of Qi Refining. Wouldn't it be a waste to bestow a Foundation Establishment medicine upon him?" Fox Hill Daoist did not directly refuse Qing Li, but shook his head slightly.
Mengde's four spiritual roots talent made Fox Hill Taoist feel that there was no need to reward him with something as good as Foundation Establishment Pills.
Although someone of Fox Hill Daoist's status could easily obtain Foundation Establishment Pills if he wanted them, the true value of Foundation Establishment Pills lies in their scarcity. Furthermore, Fox Hill Daoist himself is a demon beast and has no desire to collect Foundation Establishment Pills. Therefore, if he wanted to obtain a single Foundation Establishment Pill, he would have to go to that human old man, essentially having to curry favor with him.
Fox Hill Taoist felt it wasn't worth it. If he had the resources himself, he wouldn't mind giving them away, but he didn't have them. Why should he give up his reputation to get them? Fox Hill Taoist would rather just throw some of his unwanted resources at that lucky human.
"...This junior understands..." Qing Li lowered her head slightly, understanding what Fox Hill Taoist meant, and then stopped talking about the topic.
Is Meng De's unexpected discovery of the ancient demonic insect's descendant's contribution worthy of a Foundation Establishment Pill?
It's worth it, yet it's not.
It is worthwhile, which affirms Mengde's contributions.
To say that it is not worthwhile is to deny Mengde's four spiritual roots.
"Qingling Peak is going to change its leader. Are you ready?" Seeing Qing Li's silence, Fox Hill Taoist pondered for a moment and then suddenly spoke.
"This junior...this junior is still preparing..." Qing Li's face darkened, and he lowered his head and said in a deep voice.
"Take good care of it. Neither condensing a demon core nor a golden core is an easy task." Fox Hill Daoist shook his head slightly, his voice becoming somewhat deep.
"I've already given you all the reminders you needed to. Without that herb, the chances of successfully forming your core are extremely high..."
"Alright, go back now. I have reached a conclusion and will share my experience with you."
Having said that, the Fox Hill Taoist waved his hand lightly, and Qing Li found that the world around her suddenly spun around her, ultimately vanishing like a dream bubble. When Qing Li regained her senses, she realized that she was still sitting on the back of the gigantic Level 5 Nine Netherworld Bee, with the ethereal, misty Spirit Beast Mountain before her... as if she had never left...
An illusion... or something else... Qing Li dared not think too much about it. She bowed respectfully towards the quiet and peaceful Spirit Beast Mountain, and then rode the Nine Netherworld Bee back to Golden Glow Peak.
Qingli knew that what had just happened was an illusion, but at the same time, it wasn't an illusion...
Because all three types of source blood mosquitoes in her spirit insect bag disappeared.
Fortunately, Qingli left some Nine Nether Poisonous Mosquito seeds in Jinxia Peak. After feeding them a few more times, the scale of the Nine Nether Poisonous Mosquitoes can be restored.
After Qingli rode away on the Nine Netherworld Bees, on a mountaintop somewhere in the Spirit Beast Mountain, the Fox Hill Taoist, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the three kinds of Origin Blood Flying Mosquitoes in front of him.
The statement by Qingli that "different environments will evolve into different forms" undoubtedly piqued Fox Hill Daoist's curiosity.
With a wave of his hand, a dreamlike butterfly, its colors shimmering in the sunlight, landed on the fingertip of the Fox Hill Taoist.

Fox Hill Taoist directly crushed the extremely precious Illusionary Butterfly, then drew out the spiritual spring and used the butterfly's flesh and blood as a catalyst to concoct a drop of special flesh and blood spiritual liquid.
Then, with a flick of his finger, the special blood and flesh elixir fell into a nearby stone slab, creating a small pit that gathered into a spring. Afterward, the Fox-hill Taoist threw the three types of source blood flying mosquitoes into the elixir pool he had casually conjured, set up a simple restriction, and then sat down to meditate again.
However, while Fox Hill Taoist was meditating, all three types of source blood flying mosquitoes in the Illusionary Butterfly Blood and Flesh Spirit Pool were changing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
In less than half a month, three kinds of similar flying insects were born in the Illusionary Butterfly Spirit Pool!
Another half month has passed, and the three types of flying mosquitoes in the Illusionary Butterfly Pool have begun to hybridize and merge...
A month later, when Fox Hill Taoist looked at the final species formed from the fusion in the Illusionary Butterfly Spirit Pool—a crystal mosquito whose body was like transparent glass and whose wings were so thin they were difficult to see—his handsome brows couldn't help but furrow slightly.
Fox Hill Taoist realized that this special spirit insect, which he temporarily named "Dream Mosquito," had successfully absorbed part of the bloodline talent of the Illusionary Butterfly, and had actually become a magical insect with illusionary powers similar to the Illusionary Butterfly!
"This insect might be strange..." Fox Hill Taoist summoned the Dream Mosquito into his hand, carefully examined it with his divine sense, and finally a hint of amazement flashed in his usually calm amber eyes!
"This is... an illusion medium?!" A glint flashed in Fox Hill Taoist's eyes. He sensed something amiss with the Dream Mosquito. After careful examination, he discovered that the Dream Mosquito in his hand could actually be used as a medium for casting illusions!
In other words, the Dream Mosquito is a flying illusion spellcasting material!
"Hmm? No...why don't these ones exist?" But soon, Fox Hill Taoist discovered a phenomenon: among the new generation of dream mosquitoes, some dream mosquitoes have the quality of becoming a medium for illusions, while others do not.
"Unstable talent?" Fox Hill Daoist quickly realized this. With a thought, he instantly crushed the Dream Mosquitoes that had not inherited the talent of the spellcasting medium, leaving only the bloodline with the relevant talent.
Thus, after twenty or thirty generations of breeding, the Fox Hill Taoist finally bred the Dream Mosquito with stable bloodline talent.
After selecting and breeding Dream Mosquitoes with stable bloodline talents, Fox Hill Taoist tried to use Dream Mosquitoes to set up an illusion array, which unexpectedly worked well.
"The ultimate form of this insect... I may not be able to discover it either..." Fox Hill Daoist sighed softly, then began to devote resources to creating higher-level Dream Mosquitoes, using the final version as the core. Only higher-level Dream Mosquitoes can unleash higher-level illusion arrays.
Compared to bloodline selection, cultivating high-level dream mosquitoes is obviously much slower. Fortunately, spirit insects are quick to grow and die, so even though their advancement speed is slow, it is still much faster than that of other species.
At almost the same time as Fox Hill Taoist, Meng De of Blackwater Manor also discovered that the Blood Mosquitoes could be used as spellcasting materials!
When Mengde watched as the spirit insect-level Crimson Flame Mosquitoes he had cultivated connected their spiritual energy in the air to construct the spell structure of a fireball, the entire swarm of Crimson Flame Mosquitoes was instantly enveloped in a blazing inferno.
Only five words came to mind for Mengde.
