"What's wrong, Mengli? Hasn't it already been successfully refined?"
Ye Mengli frowned, shook her head, and then nodded.
"It was successfully refined, but it wasn't a complete success either."
Chapter 600 Born in the morning and dying at dusk, they are but mayflies.
In their original plan, the time-accelerating insect they were refining, like the current divine insect, possessed the power to accelerate time.
However, in essence, there is still one difference.
At least initially, the insects they intended to refine were definitely not meant to be effective only once.
Looking at the mayfly in her hand and Jia Xin's searching gaze, Ye Mengli sighed and offered an explanation.
"Although this divine insect has the effect of accelerating time, Sister Jiaxin, it is probably a one-time use divine insect. That is to say, once we use the divine insect, it will be consumed."
Jiaxin was stunned, looking at the mayfly in disbelief.
"A one-time use divine insect? How could this be?"
Ye Mengli rubbed her temples.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's probably because the basic insects used in our insect refining method are all Klein-level mortal Gu."
Upon hearing Ye Mengli's words, Jiaxin also fell silent.
In her memory, Fang Sheng was the only person in the world who was able to create insects without the aid of external objects.
Even later, Ah Li and Xuan Yuanlie only gained the ability to refine insects after Fang Sheng gave them something.
Even now, the method they use to refine insects is still the Three Insect Refining Method that Fang Sheng originally researched.
That is, using three kinds of insects—the Creation Insect, the Five Qi Insect, and the Shape-Shaping Insect—to refine insects.
Logically speaking, to refine a divine insect, all three insects must be upgraded to divine insects.
However, Ye Mengli and her companion naturally did not possess any other immortal insects. The three insects they used to refine the immortal insects were only at the fifth level of refinement.
Even though Ye Mengli later modified the refining method, adding many insects and refining techniques to enable her to refine the sixth refinement from the fifth, it was still somewhat forced in the end.
Of course, the reason why the divine insect became a one-time use Gu insect was not only because of the insect refining method, but also largely because Xiao Gu helped them cheat.
However, neither of them knew this.
Jiaxin looked at Ye Mengli, who had been frowning the whole time, and patted her shoulder helplessly.
"Mengli, the most urgent task is no longer to figure out where the problem lies in the process of refining the Gu, but to find out what the effect of this insect is."
After all, even if we figured out where the problem lay, we don't have enough resources to create another divine insect.
Ye Mengli nodded and then used the mortal-level deduction technique to deduce it again.
Although mortal techniques proved very difficult to deduce divine insects, Ye Mengli managed to deduce them because she possessed the insect formula and had almost personally participated in the insect refining process.
After she finished her deduction, she handed the mayfly in her hand to Jiaxin.
Now, not only does she lack the divine power to use the divine insects, but she can't even store them.
You should know that even the Four Symbols Illusionary Insects are still lying in her sleeve.
Since they are not gods, they ultimately cannot subdue the divine insects.
Seeing Ye Mengli hand over the mayfly, Jiaxin didn't hesitate and directly put the insect into her mind's realm.
Although Ye Mengli didn't say anything, Jiaxin understood what she meant.
As Jiaxin put away the insects, Ye Mengli spoke up.
"Sister Jiaxin, although I am not 100% sure, based on my deductions, I am about 70% certain that this insect's ability is to accelerate time by about a hundred years."
However, I'm not sure exactly how many centuries that will take, or whether the acceleration will stop midway.
Hearing Ye Mengli's words, Jiaxin breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it's a single-use insect, as long as it achieves the effect she wants, it's not considered a failure.
"Fortunately, since it can still accelerate time, it hasn't strayed too far from our goal. As for whether it can stop halfway, that's a question for Lin Qiye to consider."
Ye Mengli nodded, agreeing with the logic, since the product had already been replaced and they weren't responsible for after-sales service.
Once the two had finalized their decision, they didn't delay any longer and immediately left the blessed land, departing from Utopia and heading towards the North Pole.
The entire journey, from searching for Utopia to collecting insect materials, took two days, while refining the divine insect took about four days.
In addition, their current location is not close to the Arctic. Even if they rush there at all costs, it will probably take them two days to reach the Arctic.
After thinking for a moment, Jiaxin threw Ye Mengli directly into the blessed land.
"Mengli, why don't you go inside and stay for a while?"
Ye Mengli nodded with a wry smile.
Although Jiaxin didn't say it explicitly, how could she not know that Jiaxin was afraid that her slow pace would delay the trip?
As Ye Mengli entered the blessed land, Jiaxin summoned another tracking insect of the Boundless Realm, the Follow-the-Curtain Insect.
Then, she fed the wisp of energy she had captured when the Tianya Bilin worm exploded to the Shuntiemogua worm.
Finding someone in the vast Arctic without the necessary methods is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, Jiaxin had already prepared a contingency plan long before the trip.
In other words, it's like having a trail that you can follow to find the source.
This insect was not left to him by Gu Li, nor was it something she created herself. Rather, it was created by the earth spirit of her blessed land, by little Gu Li.
As the Gu worms activated, Jiaxin's figure immediately began to move.
She didn't know exactly where Lin Qiye was in the Arctic, but that was his destination.
Therefore, all she had to do was intercept Lin Qiye on the way.
…………
Lin Qiye walked slowly across the vast snowfield.
Five or six days have passed since he left Daxia.
So, he should be here by now...
Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes and used his causal supernatural power to sense the surroundings. Sure enough, he discovered a snow-white mouse that appeared to have been frozen to death on the vast white earth.
Upon seeing this, he smirked.
"They really do have one trick up their sleeve, and they're set for life..."
After a sigh, Lin Qiye didn't linger any longer and continued towards the Gate of Truth.
His pace remained unhurried.
Although the real person has arrived, the act needs to be carried out completely. Moreover, it's not so easy to fool a pillar god.
As Lin Qiye walked slowly forward, his steps gradually came to a stop.
Amidst the swirling snowflakes, not far in front of Lin Qiye stood a beautiful woman dressed in a green gauze dress.
Although Lin Qiye had never met her in person, he had specifically looked up information about her based on the death of Yuri Kurozo.
In addition to the main culprit, the document also included an arrest warrant.
Chapter 601 is a discussion with Fang Sheng.
Although two thousand years have passed and the memories are quite distant, how could Lin Qiye, with his memory, possibly forget the contents?
If he remembered correctly, the woman standing in front of him should be Gu Li's wife.
Good salary.
As Lin Qiye stopped, Jiaxin, though unaware of his thoughts, could only slowly walk towards him in order for the plan to succeed.
Lin Qiye frowned as he watched Jiaxin approach.
"If I remember correctly, you are still a wanted person in the Great Xia Dynasty."
What, you don't hide when you see me, but instead come straight at me in broad daylight? Are you planning to try and knock me out?
Hearing Lin Qiye's words, Jiaxin shook her head.
"Commander Lin is joking. I am just a weak woman. Even if I had the will, I would not have the strength."
I'm not here to cause trouble for Commander Lin, but rather to discuss a deal with you.
"A deal?" Upon hearing Jiaxin's words, Lin Qiye seemed to become somewhat interested. However, as Jiaxin came to his side, he did not remain standing there but continued towards the North Pole at a leisurely pace.
What kind of deal do you want to discuss with me?
Although Lin Qiye wasn't particularly interested in the deal Jia Xin proposed, since he would only discuss deals with Fang Sheng if it came to it.
However, although he wasn't really interested, Lin Qiye didn't refuse outright, since An Qingyu was watching from the side and he didn't want to alert her.
"If my information is correct, Commander Lin's wife, Jialan, who possesses the Immortal Forbidden Realm, has fallen into a deep slumber after shielding you from the gods' attack, and it will take at least a hundred years for her to awaken..."
Before Jiaxin could finish speaking, Lin Qiye suddenly stopped in his tracks. Then, he slowly turned his head to look at Jiaxin beside him.
His gaze was icy.
"What do you want to say? No need for preamble, just say it."
Jiaxin didn't care about Lin Qiye's darkened expression; she just smiled calmly.
"Actually, what I mean is very simple, Commander Lin. I have something that can accelerate time, and it can work on immortals. At the very least, it can speed up time by a hundred years."
What I want is to use this to exchange for something else with Commander Lin.
Lin Qiye was silent for a moment, then asked.
What do you want to change to?
"The Holy Grail," Jiaxin said directly, without any attempt to hide it.
"Commander Lin, I know that you have possessed the Holy Grail for a long time, and during this time, you have not used the Holy Grail to revive Garan."
"So, since Commander Lin, you don't need the Holy Grail, how about we make an exchange?"
Lin Qiye understood.
It seems that Jiaxin came here for no other purpose than to obtain the Holy Grail from him.
However, thinking of the Holy Grail's effects, Lin Qiye fell silent.
When Lin Qiye later obtained the Holy Grail, he naturally considered using it to heal Garan. However, he couldn't afford the price to wake Garan up, so the plan was abandoned.
Therefore, Lin Qiye paused for a moment before speaking.
“I can give you the Holy Grail, but not now.”
Although I left the Great Xia Dynasty, I didn't actually carry anything valuable with me. The only thing of any value was the Star Blade at my waist.
As for the Holy Grail, it is also within Great Xia.
As he spoke, Lin Qiye secretly sensed An Qingyu's spies in the shadows. Seeing that they didn't react in any special way, he then spoke to Jiaxin.
"You should go back first; now is not the time."
After saying that, Lin Qiye collected a wisp of Jia Xin's causal aura.
"Once I've sorted things out here, I'll consider exchanging with you."
Seeing this, Jiaxin wasn't stupid. She immediately guessed what Lin Qiye was probably worried about and was urging her to leave quickly.
As a sense of crisis welled up in her heart, Jiaxin instantly understood.
The Arctic that Fang Sheng sent Lin Qiye to is probably not just ordinary danger, and there are some factors hidden within it that she is unaware of.
Having figured this out, Jiaxin didn't insist. Instead, she nodded and vanished from the spot.
Watching her departing figure, Lin Qiye withdrew his gaze after a moment and continued heading towards the North Pole.
Meanwhile, An Qingyu was secretly pondering.
In fact, as time goes by, An Qingyu's current situation is not very good, and his integration with the Key of the Gate is deepening day by day.
Now, An Qingyu is finding it quite difficult to control her body.
