Synopsis

How can an insect keeper find a glimmer of hope in the cultivation world? Just rated

Mortal-style cultivation + raising spirit insects + decisive and ruthless + no System + not a wish-fulfillment novel + slow-paced + long novel. Please leave a rating!

> I transmigrated into a menial worker at a small cultivation sect. With my poor aptitude and barren spirit fields, the Great Dao seemed beyond my reach.

> Then I found a strange insect, half-dead, in a pile of manure behind the mountain. It fed on discarded pills and produced spirit liquid in return.

> Thanks to it, I purified pills and made rapid progress in cultivation. I also discovered that it could keep mutating and devouring all things.

> I thought I could rise quietly, but after a single insect fight, a sect prodigy drove me into a desperate corner.

> At the brink of death, the strange insect suddenly split into countless forms. The arrogant prodigy and his bonded spirit beast were gnawed down to bare bones.

> The Discipline Elder flew into a rage and ordered, “Wipe out this heretic with a beating!”

> But the strange insect in my arms suddenly let out a childish cry: “Mommy, I’m scared!”
