In the wooden box, there were three spiritual silkworms in total. They were completely transparent and about the size of a thumb. They looked wilted, lifeless and half-dead.
It was at the moment when the wooden box was opened that a large amount of air poured in, and the three little guys showed a little life.
They blinked their eyes, bowed their bodies slightly, and made a gesture of spinning silk.
But after working hard for a long time, the mouth was just slightly moist, and no silk came out, and there was no other movement.
Looking at these three little insects that were about to expire, Lu Ping, who was watching, focused his eyes, and a hint of joy gradually emerged in his heart.
"What kind of silkworm is this? It's half dead, or is it destroyed in one piece?"
Lu Changfeng said casually when he saw that the three little guys looked very unpleasant and looked like they were about to die.
The rest of the people didn't recognize this kind of spirit insect, they just thought it was just an ordinary spirit insect, and they had no intention of refuting Lu Changfeng.
"Confused!"
Lu Ping's voice suddenly sounded in Lu Changfeng's mind, making Lu Changfeng tremble.
"Dad, what on earth is this?"
Just a casual sentence, and his father cursed like this. No matter how stupid Lu Changfeng was, he could still guess that these three spiritual silkworms had a lot of background, and they might be some great treasures.
"Gold thread."
Lu Ping had no intention of using any more swear words. He watched the silk threads gather together to form a tiny golden cocoon, as if made of pure gold, and introduced it.
"This is the golden silkworm, also known as the puppet silkworm. It is an ancient spiritual insect that has long since disappeared in the world of immortality in Lingxi Prefecture..."
In order to do some popular science for Lu Zhiwei, Lu Ping also brought Lu Zhiwei into the group chat, started a sound transmission, and told the origin of the golden silkworm one by one.
As an ancient spiritual insect that has long been extinct, the golden silkworm is not only less destructive than those famous ancient monsters, but also has no power at all.
Even an ordinary bird can destroy these three little guys and peck at them easily.
This fatal weakness of the golden silkworm is also the fundamental reason for its extinction.
But to say it is useless is obviously impossible.
Its most powerful and famous ability is undoubtedly its natal magical power.
The silk spun out by them is invulnerable to water, fire, swords, extremely elastic, and terrifyingly sticky.
Once the golden silkworm hides in the dark and spits out silk to sneak attack on the enemy, the almost invisible silk can instantly pierce the body's orifices and swim in the eight extraordinary meridians, absorbing the enemy's essence and blood, making it impossible for the enemy to break free and can only escape. Bits and pieces were eaten away.
In the end, under the continuous encroachment of the golden silkworms, even the soul could not survive, and it was reduced to a walking corpse with still cultivation and no consciousness.
At this time, the golden silkworm can further exert its natal magical power, retaining the enemy's body and Taoism. From then on, its cultivation will not increase or decrease, and it will become its puppet, used to travel around the world and reproduce.
This is how the name of the Golden Silkworm's Puppet Silkworm came about.
Relying on this heaven-defying natal power, the longer the golden silkworm lives, the more powerful the puppet it inhabits will be.
It’s not surprising to prey on an old Nascent Soul monster and live in it to become a puppet under its control.
When seeing this kind of ancient spirit insect, those with ancient supernatural powers would have to retreat and take a detour, not daring to provoke it at all.
If Lu Ping met him, according to his style of acting, the first thing he would think of was not to arrest him, but to run away immediately.
You still have to give in when it’s time to give in.
Lu Zhiwei and Lu Changfeng's expressions instantly changed when they learned about the origin of the golden silkworm and the presence of such heaven-defying supernatural powers.
At this time, looking at the three golden silkworms that looked harmless to humans and animals in the wooden box, I felt fear for a moment and couldn't help but secretly step back for a distance.
Fortunately, depending on the situation, these three little guys were in a half-dead state. They were already extremely weak and could no longer spin silk in a short time. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Okay, they have to cultivate for a year or two temporarily. During this period, they will definitely not be able to spin silk, so don't worry too much."
Lu Ping said: "Don't worry about them, just keep them in this wooden box. I will figure out how to deal with them in the future and bring them back to the sect first."
I have to admire Taoist Gu's luck. He was able to even find this kind of ancient spirit insect that was extinct in Lingxi Prefecture. He carried three of them with him, which was quite good luck.
Looking at Lingxi Prefecture now, these are probably the only three golden silkworms left.
Lu Zhiwei nodded, carefully closed the wooden box and put it into the storage bag.
Continuing to check Taoist Gu's storage bag, the last valuable item was undoubtedly the divine order from the sky.
Taoist Gu carried a total of two Divine Sky Orders. He had cast one before, but now this one has not yet been triggered and fell into the hands of Lu Zhiwei and others.
Having witnessed the power of Shenxiao's decree with his own eyes, he must keep this rare treasure and carry it with him as a weapon.
As for who?
Lu Ping immediately gave instructions and took him back to the Qingshan Sect and handed it over to Lu Yuanshan.
Lu Ping decided to keep this thing for three or four years and wait until he went out to deal with the Black Water Black Snake before using it.
As for the spiritual stones in the storage bag, Taoist Gu was really poor. He only had more than sixty pieces, so he kept them as funds in the clan treasury.
After counting the loot, everyone finally took action and burned all the vase and the Gu insects in it.
The vase is just a storage artifact, similar to a spirit beast bag. It has become an evil artifact due to the influence of poisonous insects. It can easily affect the mind of a righteous monk when used, so burning it is the best option.
There are probably as many as a thousand Gu insects in it, of all kinds.
Most of these poisonous insects are highly poisonous. Once they are exiled to Lushan County, they can easily cause hidden dangers, not only harming the people, but also having a great impact on the ecological balance, so they cannot be kept.
After cleaning up all this, everyone learned about Xu Mengyuan's injury status during the subsequent conversation with Xu Mengyuan.
The situation is not optimistic.
Due to his fight with Taoist Gu, his vitality was damaged and his Taoist body was damaged. Although Xu Mengyuan now seems to be full of spiritual power, he is no different from a normal monk.
But the origin of life has become extremely illusory, and the phenomenon of Qi and blood decay has occurred.
Before a Qi-training monk is about to build a foundation, he must ensure that his Qi and blood are abundant and his magic power is strong, so that he can build the Dao foundation and sublimate and temper his body.
Unless the life span is approaching, aging occurs, or the Tao body is seriously injured, the Qi and blood will decline in these two situations.
Xu Mengyuan is an eighth-level qi-training monk. He has practiced Changchun Kung Fu to warm and nourish his Taoist body over the years, and his lifespan has been extended. Logically speaking, it is not a problem to live for another twenty or thirty years.
But now, let alone twenty years, even one year has become a problem.
The injuries left by Taoist Gu directly caused him to die soon in Guangde County.
After learning about Xu Mengyuan's situation, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but feel sad.
"Elder Meng Yuan, why don't you follow us back to Qingshan Sect to recuperate? The sect will find a way to extend your life and treat you. For this matter of being in Guangde County, the sect leader will find another way."
"Well, please also ask Elder Meng Yuan to return to the sect with us."
Lu Zhiwei also said that she couldn't bear to see Xu Mengyuan like this.
