Chapter 113 Nourishing Qi

The Spirit Insect bears the name "insect" not only because it indeed resembles an overly plump bug, but also because its behavior is like that of a bug as well.

Bugs are solely responsible for eating, drinking, sleeping, and growing.

Aside from occasionally nibbling on some jade powder, Spirit Insects spend the rest of their time sleeping and growing, with no other interests. They don't act lively all day nor chirp incessantly like Little Sprites or Mushroom Birds.

Therefore, they rarely become restless and if they do, there are only a few possible reasons.

The cordyceps is under threat, its lifespan is coming to an end, a strange conspecific is approaching, the contract master is gravely injured or deceased...

Or, it has grown to a critical point and is beginning to evolve to the next stage.
