Chapter 93: Six-Winged Golden Silkworm

  Sun Ming's good words of persuasion finally made Lan You and Xue Hai put away their formation, but their expressions still looked like they had lingering fears, which Sun Ming found quite amusing.

  Xue Hai walked up to Sun Ming and handed him a beautifully crafted jade bottle, which left Sun Ming perplexed. What was this old demon trying to do? Was he trying to get close to himself?

  "Old Devil, what are you doing?" Sun Ming asked in puzzlement.

  "This is what I found when I slaughtered the Dan Xiu Men sect back then. This is a聚元丹, it's the most effective pill for replenishing true yuan power. One pill can instantly refill all consumed true yuan power and restore you to peak condition. You've consumed a lot this time, quickly take one, otherwise your cultivation which just reached the Yuan Infant stage will suffer from such a large output of true yuan power, causing your realm to become unstable." The Blood Sea Demon's words made Sun Ming feel depressed beyond consolation. Who would have thought that even a demon lord like him would care about orthodox cultivators?

  However, Sun Ming still accepted the Dan medicine, because he had indeed consumed a large amount of true yuan force, and the small Sun Ming in his body was now dull and dim, even the purple fire in his hand was burning weakly. Sun Ming didn't thank him, directly pouring out an Aggregation Yuan Dan from the bottle, placing it on his palm, the crystal clear Dan medicine seemed to have life swimming inside, this originally gloomy cave, actually became filled with fragrance just because of the appearance of a single Dan medicine. Even Lan Ying Zhen Ren, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.

  "Blood Sea, you old scoundrel, isn't this a bit too much? You've had such a precious elixir all along and yet you've never brought it out even once, despite my having refined my powers for so many years. Hmph!" The True Person of Lanyin seemed to be genuinely angry now, his expression was quite the sight to behold.

  "This thing doesn't have much effect on us scattered immortals and demons, besides your cultivation except for that one time when you consumed a lot of energy, when did you ever exhaust your true yuan like Sun Ming?" The Blood Sea Demon's words left Lan Ling Zhen Ren speechless. Lan Ling Zhen Ren actually flung his sleeve and walked out. Sun Ming saw this and didn't pretend to be polite, sat down cross-legged, and swallowed the Spirit Gathering Pill under Lan Ling Zhen Ren's envious gaze.

  It's indeed a divine elixir, dissolving instantly upon entry. Sun Ming suddenly felt a surge of spiritual energy bursting out from his dantian as he circulated the Xuantian Yu Xu Gong. After several cycles, his originally weak and limp primordial infant regained its vitality and radiance, while the purple flames in his hands blazed even more fiercely.

  "Haha, genius or not, now it's different, old man's words are quite right!" Looking at Sun Ming after swallowing the 'Spirit Gathering Pill' took effect, Blood Sea Demon changed his attitude from being polite to laughing wildly without any restraint, making Sun Ming feel rather depressed.

  "Blood Sea Demon, are you crazy or stupid? Don't you know that I now have control over several thousand high-level ghostly creatures? You still want to control me like before? Go dream on! If you don't want the living things here to be slaughtered, then from today on, stop making a racket in front of Young Master. Otherwise, it's you who will be threatening this 'Ghostly White Bone Flag', and I won't hesitate to refine it." Sun Ming also said with extreme arrogance.

  "Hmph, ignorant child, the number of stars I've flown past is more than the people you've seen. Do you really think that what I gave you was the legendary Tribulation Holy Pill 'Ji Yuan Dan'? Take a look at your dantian again." The Blood Sea Demon seemed to have a look of watching a fool.

  Sun Ming immediately sat down cross-legged and began his introspection. At first glance, there was nothing unusual. However, Sun Ming finally saw something that wasn't supposed to be there in the corner behind his primordial infant in his lower abdomen - a worm.

  A small golden caterpillar about an inch in size lay quietly there. Behind it was a pair of fairly thin wings. The golden light shone brightly and looked good.

  "Master. Just now, why didn't you remind me? This thing is obviously the Gu worm from the demonic path legend. Now this disciple might really have to obey this old demon." Sun Ming complained in his heart.

  "Let you mess up someone else's things. Are there any good people in the demonic path? Didn't the yellow weasel teach you the principle of giving New Year's greetings to a chicken? You can still go to his place. This child really makes Master worry." Yun Zhongzi said.

  Sun Mingdi's expression at this time seemed even more ugly than crying. This instead made Xue Hai Lao Mo look delighted.

  "What can we do then, Master?" Sun Ming asked.

  "Gu insect? Joke, have you forgotten the characteristics of Hongmeng Purple Fire? Refining time and space, a small Gu insect is nothing." Yun Zhongzi laughed.

  "Hmm, then let's refine him now." Sun Ming was somewhat impatient, after all, there was suddenly an alien creature in his body that could be fatal, and whoever had the chance to eliminate it wouldn't wait.

  "Slow down, you little scamp! You're really reckless, almost ruining a perfect second-grade Yuan Shen." Yun Zhongzi scolded with a smile.

  "Take a closer look at what kind of insect it is before deciding whether or not to refine it."

  Sun Ming silently observed the scene, watching the legendary demonic insect used by the demonic path to control enemies, its extreme toxicity making Blood Sea Old Devil think he had been scared stupid.

  "You'd better reflect on yourself here, haha, that's the king of Gu insects, the Golden Soul-Eating Gu"

  "The immortal old man is willing to use it, and since he's using it on you, you should feel proud too." The Blood Sea Demon smiled as he walked out, leaving Sun Ming alone in the gloomy cave.

  However, Sun Ming's originally furrowed eyebrows slowly relaxed, and a hint of joy crept onto his face, as if something delightful had happened.

  "Master, if I'm right, this insect should be the legendary top-grade creature that cultivates the second yuan god, the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm, right?" Sun Ming asked with a smile.

  "You young man are quite clever, it's not in vain that I've taught you so many classics and strange stories." Yun Zhongzi said with a smile.

  "Unfortunately, this is only a winged larva. If it were the six-winged adult form, I would have become the second Yuan God, and probably no one in the entire Xiu Zhen realm could defeat me." Sun Ming thought to himself with great pleasure.

  "With the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm, you'd be dead by now. What's the point of even talking about refining a second Yuan Shen? The Six-Winged Golden Silkworm is comparable to a Golden Immortal in terms of power, and its killing intent is extreme. Even if it were the same level as a Golden Immortal, they would only have the privilege of waiting for death upon seeing it. Refining the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm? You'd better give up on that idea. If this silkworm hadn't been refined into a Gu insect and wasn't afraid of the Hongmeng Purple Flame, you'd probably be a soul in the underworld by now." Yun Zhongzi said with a smile.

  "For now, let's just pretend to be under Blood Sea's control for a while, make him think he has the upper hand. That way, once the 'Ghostly White Bone Flag' is refined, you can leave here unscathed. Alright, someone's coming, be careful and adapt." Yun Zhongzi said.

  "Lingming, ah, I'm still arguing with you over that 'Ji Ling Dan' is really laughable. I didn't expect Blood Sea to be so cunning. I thought my own schemes were quite deep, but it seems that compared to this demon head, there's still a considerable distance between us. You can rest assured that in the Cultivation Realm, with your emergence as an alchemist, I will do my best to guarantee your safety. As for Blood Sea, I'll go talk to him, and you should also be careful in dealing with him. This 'Huang Jin Si Hun Gu' is something I've heard of too - extremely evil, and there's nothing I can do to help you." Lan Ying sighed, seemingly regretful on behalf of Sun Ming. However, Sun Ming knew that this guy's intentions weren't entirely pure, not just because of his alchemy skills... although the starting point was different, it was still good that he cared about me in some way. Maybe one day when I'm happy, I'll pass on a few techniques to him.

  "Thank you for your concern, senior. Alas, compared to a veteran like you who has been famous for so long, I'm still far inferior in terms of wit and cunning. It seems I'll be staying here for a while, let's see if there's any way to resolve this." Sun Ming sighed with a deliberately gloomy expression.

  "Lingming, our Blood Sea Elder, let you refine the law treasure for us. Hurry up and follow me." A detestable demon cultivator yelled at Sun Ming and walked out. Sun Ming smiled wryly to Lan Ying.

  "Seniors, I've gone, ah, looking at the class afterwards, there's no more leisurely days to live." The tone reveals an unspeakable desolation. Lan Yin couldn't help but comfort her repeatedly.

  "Go on, go on, just hang in there for a while longer, I really can't help you this time."

  Xuandu Star was as bustling as ever, because this place had the largest and most complete market for cultivators. Almost any precious materials, medicinal herbs, and magical artifacts could be bought here. Suddenly, the crowd stopped moving, because they felt a kind of pressure, an instinctual sense of awe. This was somewhat astonishing, because Xuandu Star was a place where great masters roamed freely, and scattered immortals were as common as dogs. This was the place with the highest concentration of powerful cultivators in the cultivation world. If you randomly threw a brick, it's likely that several scattered immortals would come to settle accounts with you.

  But at this very place, these feelings unexpectedly felt an unparalleled pressure coming from the sky.

  "Floating Island, the Floating Island has appeared again. It seems that something big is going to happen today." Along with someone's exclamation, everyone saw the usually hidden Floating Island appear in the sky, and saints from the Holy Alliance continuously flew out of it into the air.

  "Is this for real? I've been to Xuan Dou Star for so long, and it's the first time I've seen such a scene. I'm afraid even the scattered immortals of the Holy Alliance have fled from Xu Kong Island. Where are they going? Is this pressure also something they created?" A shop owner of a treasure trove store who was at the Mahayana period of cultivation stood at the entrance, muttering to himself.

  "Everyone, I don't know if you're interested in going up front to take a look?" The shopkeeper said to the cultivators on the street.

  "For a moment, there were all sorts of discussions, but after all, the Holy Alliance has always been secretive in form. This time, with such a big fanfare, it shouldn't matter if anyone goes to watch or not."

  "I." As soon as the first cultivator saw these two words, one by one, people nodded in agreement. After all, curiosity is the greatest original sin. However, just as they were about to rush forward, a loose immortal wearing the uniform of the Holy Alliance Inspection Hall suddenly appeared in front of them.

  "Everyone, please disperse. Today's matter is because someone from the immortal realm has descended to the mortal world, and some seniors from the Holy Alliance have gone to welcome them. I hope you all won't go forward, as it may affect the mood of the one who is coming. If he is even slightly unhappy, then..."
