   Foundation Establishment Pills Buried with Insect Eggs? Cultivation of Immortality Was Actually a Scheme by Insects to Breed Humans! "Human Race and Immortal Food" takes cultivation of immortality to a dark new level—during the Tang Dynasty, "immortals" were the masterminds behind the insect race's devouring of all living beings, and Foundation Establishment Pills were incubators for insect eggs. Mortals cultivating immortality were essentially handing themselves over to the insects! Transmigrator Li Qing was immediately struck by a devastating blow upon waking: his "master," who had adopted him, was treating him like a blood meal! 😱 In a life-or-death situation, a jade tablet erupted, triggering a counterattack, thus beginning his "anti-hunting" mode—pretending to be cowardly and surviving while secretly plotting to overturn the cultivation scam, turning the "dining table" of the insect race and pseudo-immortals into their graveyard! A bizarre cultivation of immortality combined with behind-the-scenes manipulation, every step concealing a subversive conspiracy. Watch as the protagonist rises from a slaughtered "human race" to become the mastermind crushing the entire cultivation scam—a dark and exhilarating twist!

Time flew by, and eighteen years passed in a flash. Though our days were simple and hard, Lotus warmed my heart. My daughter grew into a beautiful and talented young woman, stunning all others. Lotus and I fell in love and pledged our lives to each other. One day, I encountered a cultivator who said of my unparalleled talent and wanted to take me as a disciple to pass on his teachings. He said that if I attained enlightenment, the world would be astonished. I had no desire for immortality, only to grow old with Lotus. However, my family was poor and my parents were ill, so I had to become their disciple to repay their kindness. I gave them elixirs and miraculous medicines, and they recovered completely. I followed my master to seek immortality. At our parting, we were heartbroken, vowing never to forget each other, and to return together in immortality. Reluctant to part, the fragrant grass seems to understand my heart. Six years have passed since we parted, night after night I think of you, day after day. My master, seeing my mortal heart stirred, ordered me to descend the mountain to face the trials of love.

Only then did I learn the reason, and anger rose within me, a wicked heart ignited. A wealthy man, heartless and lustful, took Lotus into his household.
