You're just a single demon beast? I have a whole army of beast tamers!

Time flows a hundred times faster inside this space, while only two hours pass outside.

The larvae have finished eating the mulberry leaves, their bodies have grown significantly, and they have begun to spin cocoons.

The Qin beast recorded the time and the consumption of mulberry leaves.

Continue testing different grades of mulberry leaves.

He fed the five larvae with different proportions of first-tier medium-grade, high-grade, and even a small amount of second-tier green jade mulberry leaves.

Carefully observe them from larvae to spinning silk, forming cocoons, and pupating.

The entire process of a moth emerging from its cocoon.

The entire process is accelerated within space.

However, Qin Beast wanted to record data accurately.

I often immersed myself in observation, and a full half month passed in the outside world.

During this period, the mulberry leaves needed by the silkworm moths were completely consumed.

He then purchased an additional 100 spirit stones worth of mulberry leaves of various grades from Su Wanqing.

In the end, the five spirit silkworms consumed a total of 380 spirit stones worth of mulberry leaves.

The output is as follows:

First-grade low-quality spirit silkworm silk: 40 catties, market price is about three spirit stones per catty.

First-grade medium-quality spirit silkworm silk: 10 catties, market price is about five spirit stones/catty.

First-grade superior spirit silkworm silk: two catties, market price is about thirty spirit stones/catty.

First-grade top-quality spirit silkworm silk: one jin (500g), market price is about eighty spirit stones/jin.

Second-grade low-quality spirit silkworm silk: one jin (500g), market price is about two hundred spirit stones/jin.

These silks include the cocoon silk during the cocooning process and the loose silk spun by the larvae.

The total output value is approximately 510 spirit stones.

"One hundred and thirty spirit stones for the profit, five spirit silkworms for half a month..."

Qin Shou pondered, "The profits seem modest, but what if we expand the scale?"

His gaze fell on a corner of the space.

The five silkworm moths died one after another after laying their eggs.

But they left behind a dense array of eggs, numbering over a thousand.

The Qin beast carefully collected the eggs.

The next day, he did not rush to expand the scale of breeding within the space.

Instead, twenty larvae were also placed inside the cave.

They are fed at a normal rate as cover.

Meanwhile, within the Treasure Gourd space, he selected twenty of the best-developed larvae.

Accelerated cultivation was carried out using an optimized mulberry leaf ratio.

"There are twenty silkworms in the cave. At the normal rate, they should be able to produce silk worth about sixty or seventy spirit stones in three months."

Twenty speed-ups within the space can complete a generation in half a month outside. If the transition goes smoothly, the monthly income could exceed a thousand spirit stones.

Qin Shou pondered, "Although not as profitable as the Five-Colored Brocade Eggs..."

However, its advantages lie in its stability and concealment, and the silk itself is needed for the sect's mission.

You can exchange it for contribution points or sell it.

More importantly, he has mastered the complete breeding cycle from egg to moth.

It also contains a large number of insect eggs.

This means he can be completely self-sufficient.

There is no need to purchase larvae from outside anymore.

They can even... sell some of the insect eggs to the public.

Although the unit price of insect eggs is low, they are sold in large quantities.

It is also a steady stream of income.

"After delivering mulberry leaves for another half month, it'll be time to change tasks."

Qin Shou made a decision.

While running errands every day was convenient, it limited his free time.

Now that the feasibility of cultivating silkworms has been verified...

Then it should be transitioned to a more autonomous task of raising spirit silkworms alone.

One month later, at the Spirit Silk Palace.

Qin Beast stood in front of the light screen once again.

Their gaze fell on the fact that he was raising the spirit silkworms alone.

You need to provide your own spirit silkworms and mulberry leaves, and submit ten catties of first-grade medium to low-grade spirit silkworm silk every three months.

Contribution points are marked as 30 points per period.

Although not as numerous as the daily tasks of delivering mulberry leaves,

But the freedom of time suits him better.

"Junior Brother Qin, here to change missions again?"

A familiar voice rang out, and Zhao Ming chuckled as he approached, "Tired of delivering mulberry leaves? Yeah, it gets boring after a while."

Senior Brother Chen was also nearby. Upon hearing this, he turned around and said gently:

"Junior Brother Qin, would you like to take on the task of raising animals?"

This task offers ample time, but you must be responsible for your own profits and losses; if the silk quality is insufficient, you will need to make up the difference yourself. Are you confident, junior brother?

Qin Shou cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Chen."

Over the past month, I, your junior brother, have also been trying to raise some Heavenly Mulberry Spirit Silkworms in my cave.

I have some insights to share.

I feel that with more time, I can take better care of the baby, so I want to give it a try.

"Oh? You tried raising them yourself?"

Zhao Ming was somewhat surprised, then laughed and said, "Not bad, Junior Brother Qin!"

They've been quietly figuring it out! How is it? Easy to care for?

"It's alright, it just takes some effort."

Qin Shouqian said modestly.

At this moment, the cultivator surnamed Zhou strolled over from somewhere, overheard the conversation, and sneered:

"Oh, newcomers are so ambitious."

You've only been delivering mulberry leaves for a few days, and you're already thinking about raising silkworms yourself?

"It would be a joke if the silkworms died and we couldn't produce enough silk, leaving us to pay out of our own pockets."

Senior Brother Chen frowned: "Junior Brother Zhou!"

Qin Shou remained calm, turning to the guard on duty and presenting his identity jade token and the Hundred Herbs Leaf Extraction Token.

"Disciple Qin Shou requests to terminate the current mulberry leaf delivery task and accept the task of raising spirit silkworms on his own."

The deacon verified the token and took it back.

A new token engraved with the words "Self-Fed Spirit Silkworms" was issued, and the information was registered in a jade slip:

"The task will begin tomorrow, with the first submission period being three months later. At least ten catties of first-grade spirit silkworm silk must be delivered to this hall for inspection."

If the task cannot be completed, contribution points will be deducted, and the eligibility to accept tasks may be suspended depending on the circumstances.

"Disciple understands."

Qin Shou accepted the new token, nodded slightly to Senior Brother Chen and Zhao Mingwei, ignored the mocking gaze of the Zhou surname cultivator, and turned to leave.

He was in a great mood as he walked out of the Spirit Silk Palace.

The tedious days of delivering mulberry leaves are over.

Next, I will accelerate my cultivation according to my planned pace.

As time passed, Qin Shou's life on Lingcan Peak gradually got on track.

At the beginning of each month, he would make a trip to the Beast Market.

Go to a few reputable medicine shops and buy two bottles of first-grade, high-quality Yellow Sprout Pills.

This elixir is mild and gentle, suitable for cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining to gradually improve their cultivation.

Although it may not be as fast-acting as some potent drugs, it has the advantage of a solid foundation.

The Qin beasts did not seek rapid advancement, but rather a step-by-step approach.

After switching to the "Three Elements Spirit Control True Scripture", his cultivation level once dropped to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Fortunately, the power of the beast that was born to feed him was inexhaustible.

After the Xuanbing Spirit Fox entered the second stage, the pure spiritual energy it provided helped him complete more than half of the original seventh level of Qi Refining.

The new contract includes the golden-threaded python and the glass-wood kite.

With the Treasure Gourd space experiencing a hundredfold acceleration of time flow and being nourished by abundant resources,

The progress was remarkably rapid.

In just two months, the two beasts broke through from the early stage of the first tier to the late stage.

During this period, there were four instances of the bloodline's minor completion receiving a boost of nourishment.

The energy flowed into Qin Shou's dantian, forcefully pushing his cultivation level back to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and the day arrived for the first delivery of the spirit silkworm silk.

In a side hall of the Spirit Silk Palace, the person in charge of the inspection was a serious-looking late-stage Qi Refining disciple.

When Qin Shou placed a full fifteen jin of first-grade mid-level spirit silkworm silk on the table...

The disciple was clearly taken aback for a moment, then picked up several bundles and examined them carefully.

He then looked up at Qin Shou's clothing and cultivation level.
