Chapter 222: Green Silkworm

If the woman was facing a problem that needed to be solved by the insect, then it was reasonable for her to agree to let Master Tai Chi participate in the gambling game.

"It's actually a silkworm pupa? Not a mature snow silkworm."

Chen Yun was actually a little surprised just now, but after seeing the silkworm pupa, the woman's expression looked quite solemn.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, this pair of snow silkworms was found in the ice layer a hundred feet deep at the bottom of the Ice Cave. They are not ordinary ice silkworms, but the top species among snow silkworms - the Green King Silkworm. You only need to use your spiritual sense to observe deeply, and you will be able to perceive its uniqueness inside the silkworm chrysalis."

Master Tai Chi looked calm and explained in a calm tone.

"Qingwang Silkworm?"

When the woman heard this, her expression changed slightly, and she used her spiritual sense to probe deep into the silkworm pupa with half belief and half doubt.

After a moment, the expression on her face gradually relaxed.

"How is it? Although this pair of blue silkworms are still in the pupa stage, once they hatch, even if they are just larvae, they will be enough to meet your needs."

Master Tai Chi looked at the woman and asked her opinion.

"I'll accept this item. I'll participate in the gambling." The woman hesitated for a moment and put the jade box in her pocket.

"Very good. With Fellow Daoist Bai's 'Cloud and Snow Art' magical power, we will surely be able to easily defeat those low-level mages."

Master Tai Chi let out a long sigh and smiled with satisfaction.

When the woman surnamed Bai heard this, her expression remained calm. She uttered the word "goodbye" lightly and walked out of the hall without looking back, with an extremely cold attitude.

Master Tai Chi gave a helpless smile and shook his head.

Wei Wuya just smiled coldly and did not make any comment.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, may I ask how many divine thunderbolts you need? Do you have a clear number?"

After the woman left the hall, Master Tai Chi turned his attention to Chen Yun and asked with a smile.

"The demand is quite high, the more the better. Of course, the value of divine thunder is very high. As long as the two Taoist friends can provide it, Chen is willing to exchange it with items of equal value, and will never let the two Taoist friends suffer a loss."

Chen Yun answered frankly and honestly.

"Haha! Fellow Daoist Chen is so arrogant, I guess he must be very wealthy. However, Fellow Daoist, you must know that for high-level cultivators like us, there are very few treasures that can make us excited. Otherwise, for this battle, the three of us would not have taken out so many personal belongings at once."

Master Tai Chi was slightly stunned at first, then responded with a smile.

Chen Yun smiled slightly and did not respond further. Wei Wuya, who was standing next to him, sighed and suddenly said:
“Fellow Daoist Zhiyang, your words are a bit exaggerated. Fellow Daoist Chen was able to escape from Master Mulan’s hands with only the strength of the early Nascent Soul stage. How can he be compared with ordinary cultivators?”

"Haha, I did say something wrong. No matter what item Fellow Daoist Chen intends to exchange for the divine thunder, please let Fellow Daoist see the divine thunder with your own eyes first. If Fellow Daoist really has a treasure that we are excited about, even if you exchange all the divine thunder for it, we two will have no objection."

Master Tai Chi said nonchalantly.

Then, he reached out and untied the storage bag around his waist, shook it gently, and a white light drifted out from it.

Three light golden stones of different sizes emerged in the rosy glow and were grabbed by the Taoist priest, who then handed them to Chen Yun.

Chen Yun's heart was shocked. He took the stone without hesitation and carefully looked at the treasure he had dreamed of in his hand.

The words "miscellaneous items", "rare minerals", "materials" and "items" in the first and fourth sentences can all be replaced by "divine thunder".

After Chen Yun examined the three pieces of divine thunder, he found that each piece was quite large and the power of divine thunder contained in them was extremely strong.

Very rare.

If I let my Seven Treasures Gourd absorb it, it will definitely increase the power of the magic weapon.

Although the two smallest pieces are only half the size of the former, the weight of each piece is quite astonishing.

Chen Yun estimated that the total weight of these three divine thunders should be enough to be mixed into the Seven Treasures Gourd. However, despite this, there was still a significant gap between them and the number that Chen Yun expected.

Chen Yun remained calm on his face, but a hint of disappointment flashed through his eyes.

Master Zhiyang noticed the change in Chen Yun's expression and felt a little surprised.

Are so many divine thunders still unable to satisfy this young man's needs?

This is really hard to understand.

Thinking of this, he turned and looked at Wei Wuya.

Wei Wuya naturally also noticed Chen Yun's emotional fluctuations. After receiving the gaze of Master Zhiyang, he waved his sleeves calmly, and a piece of divine thunder as big as a fist appeared on his palm, and then he gently lifted it up.

When Chen Yun saw the huge piece of divine thunder in Wei Wuya's hand, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic.

Even with this piece of divine thunder, it is far from enough to meet the materials needed for the Ball Treasure Gourd, but as long as there is a little more, it is very likely that the materials for refining the Seven Treasure Gourd will be gathered. Chen Yun was very excited. He took the divine thunder thrown by Wei Wuya, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down as much as possible before speaking again: "In my opinion, these are all the divine thunders so far. Although they are still insufficient, they are enough as chips to participate in this gambling game. I would like to ask the two seniors to check the items I exchanged. I wonder if they can satisfy you." After speaking, he put the divine thunders in his pocket, and then took out two jade boxes of different colors from the storage bag and handed them to Wei Wuya and Master Zhiyang respectively.

Master Zhiyang took the jade box, opened the lid nonchalantly, and glanced at it. Wei Wuya first weighed the jade box, and then opened it calmly. One jade box was filled with bright red nail scales, and the other jade box quietly lay a jet-black tortoise shell.

"What on earth is this?"

"It's the material of a monster!"

Both of them looked shocked.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yun patiently explained, "Indeed, what is in Senior Wei's hand are the scales of an eighth-level monster, the poisonous dragon, and what is in your hand are the tortoise shells of an eighth-level tortoise monster. Although these two materials are not rare in the world, for the monsters that have transformed into humans, their original materials are hard to find in the southern part of Tiannan. It should be more than enough to exchange these two materials for these divine thunders." Chen Yun's tone was calm and confident.

Level 8 monsters are extremely special even in the chaotic outer sea. Even for those practitioners who often travel in the outer sea, it is rare to see such high-level monsters with their own eyes, let alone kill them and obtain their materials. In the Tiannan Continent, not only have level 8 monsters become extinct, but even level 6 and 7 monsters have almost disappeared. Except for a few large sects that raise a few such mountain-protecting monsters, there have been no rumors about the appearance of high-level monsters in other places.

"It's actually the scales of an eighth-level poisonous dragon!" Although Master Zhiyang was also shocked, he quickly recovered. After Wei Wuya learned the origin of the scales in the box, he couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, his voice filled with endless joy.

Chen Yun was slightly stunned, but then he remembered that Wei Wuya seemed to be practicing poison-related skills, and this poisonous dragon itself was extremely poisonous. Could it be that its scales had other special uses for him? Just as Chen Yun was hesitating, Wei Wuya couldn't wait to stretch out two fingers, carefully picked up a blood scale, and looked at it carefully, with an expression of worry on his face.

"Haha! Obviously, the thing that Daoyou Chen gave to Daoyou Wei with good intentions just suits his preferences, and I am also quite interested in this turtle monster shell. If it is indeed the relic of an eighth-level monster, it is certainly extraordinary. However, as an excellent material for refining armor, shields and other artifacts, it may be enough to exchange for these divine thunders." Master Zhiyang was a little surprised at Wei Wuya's excitement, but after a moment, he said this to Chen Yun with a smile on his face, and solemnly held the black turtle shell in his palm and identified it in an orderly manner.

Although he believed in Chen Yun's honesty, Master Zhiyang still couldn't completely eliminate his doubts. A cultivator at the early stage of Yuanying could easily get the eighth-level monster material. Therefore, he had to be a little cautious and make sure to identify the authenticity of the tortoise shell first.

While Chen Yun was lost in thought, Wei Wuya on the other side breathed a sigh of relief.

"Indeed, it is the scales left behind by the transformed poisonous dragon. This item is just right for me. It seems that my magic weapon will be more powerful."

After saying this with joy, Wei Wuya put the blood-red scales into the box with a happy face. With a flash of light, the jade box disappeared without a trace.

Then, he looked up and examined Chen Yun again before saying seriously:

"To be honest, I am really surprised that you can come up with such a precious item. This poisonous dragon scale is extremely important to me. Although both parties have gained something in this exchange, you still need to participate in the gambling battle on behalf of Tiannan."

"Therefore, I cannot let you suffer too much. Let me put it this way. I still have one last piece of divine thunder in my hand, which I originally wanted to leave for future generations to use. Since you are in urgent need of it, I will give it to you. In this way, I will not take advantage of you."

Wei Wuya flipped his palm lightly, and another divine thunder the size of an egg appeared in his hand, which he then threw to Chen Yun.

"Sure enough, there is a divine thunder!" Chen Yun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and took the thing with secret joy in his heart.

With the addition of this divine thunder, the Seven Treasure Gourds could be refined at the same time and more than enough. This made his original intention of taking out such a rare material largely realized.

Otherwise, the value of the eighth-level monster materials might be slightly higher than these divine thunders. If he was asked to continue to fight without taking out other items, it would be a bit unreasonable.

If Wei Wuya and the other two still had divine thunder in their hands, they would most likely be forced to take it out again because of his action.

Of course, this intention did not need to be stated explicitly, and they could naturally understand Chen Yun's generosity.

After all, they were both Nascent Soul cultivators, and neither of them would regard the other as someone who was easy to deceive. Otherwise, if Chen Yun only took the previous divine thunders, turned around and left, treating this as an ordinary transaction, and did not mention the gambling battle at all, then the two seniors could only watch helplessly without any complaints.

At this time, Master Zhiyang had also finished the appraisal of the object in his hand, and a faint smile appeared on his face. Obviously, he was also very satisfied with the tortoise shell in his hand.

However, after seeing Wei Wuya take out another piece of divine thunder, he showed a hint of hesitation. After a moment of thought, he reached into his sleeve and took out a light yellow object that was as thick as a thumb and five or six inches long, like part of the rhizome of a plant.

"Although I don't have the gift I want to give you yet, I only have this small piece of ancient fairy vine rhizome left. Whether it is used to refine a magic weapon with wood attributes, or worn on the body to nourish the wood spirit, it will be of great use and can make up for the shortcomings of this level 8 black turtle shell for you."

Master Zhiyang said in a deep voice.

"Oh, so this thing is..." When Wei Wuya saw the item in Master Zhiyang's hand, an expression of astonishment appeared on his face, as if he was quite surprised by it.

Chen Yun was a little disappointed at first, but when he saw Wei Wuya so shocked, he suddenly had an idea and thought of something.

Ancient Immortal Vine? Could it be the Xuantian Immortal Vine that the good and evil forces tried so hard to steal the alcohol in an attempt to save?

Chen Yun looked at the item in the other person's hand with a look of surprise in his eyes.

When Master Zhiyang saw that Wei Wuya recognized this thing, he did not show any surprise, but continued calmly:
"With Brother Chen's status and position, you must have heard the news of the birth of the Xuantian Immortal Vine not long ago. Unfortunately, although we have tried many methods, we still cannot revive this immortal vine. In the end, we can only share this thing with the Demonic Path and use it as a precious material for refining weapons. This thing is exactly one-fourth of the rhizome of the immortal vine. What I practice is the mysterious art of fire attribute. Although this thing is extremely precious, it is not of much use to me, so I will give it to you." After Master Zhiyang finished speaking, he immediately threw the thing to Chen Yun.

"Xuantian Immortal Vine!" Chen Yun took the light yellow object and murmured in a low voice, his heart filled with unexpected joy.

Chen Yun was well-read, so he naturally knew what the Xuantian Immortal Vine was. At the same time, he also understood why both the good and evil forces tried so hard to revive the immortal vine.

The so-called "immortal vine" is actually just a broad and general name. All those vine-like spiritual root species that have important functions can be called fairy vines.

However, the Xuantian Immortal Vine is not ordinary.

Only a handful of the most ancient vine-like spiritual roots are worthy of being named Xuantian before the fairy vine.

All of these immortal vines are the earliest ancient spiritual roots that appeared when a certain world was created and chaos was born. The spiritual flowers they bloom and the spiritual fruits they bear all have the magical ability to ignore the laws of heaven and earth in this world. They can be called truly heaven-defying existences.

However, as time passed, the exact types of Xuantian Immortal Vine and the magical powers these vines possessed have gradually been lost in the long river of history, and now no one can accurately identify them. (End of this chapter)
