Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1171 Heavenly Wood Silkworm

Zhang Heng looked at Ye Qing and said, "If you take this and sell it, the price will be at least the price of a Wood Spirit Pearl. Wood Spirit Pearls are very useful for cultivators with the Wood attribute."

Ye Qing was naturally aware of this; even for Domain Lords and Venerables, the Wood Spirit Pearl had considerable value.

"What if we cut it off? Could it get worse?" Ye Qing asked.

Zhang Heng nodded and said, "Although it is confirmed to be a wood-attribute item, its value is hard to say. The spiritual energy it emits may not be entirely accurate either. Although there is something there, it may be damaged."

"It's alright!" Ye Qing said, "Keep cutting!"

In fact, Ye Qing already has quite a few things, so he doesn't care that much about a seventh-grade weapon anymore.

"Then I'll continue cutting!"

As Zhang Heng spoke, he waved his hands continuously, and the stone chips, as thin as cicada wings, fell to the ground.

As the star-patterned stone was cut open, the wood-attribute energy emanating from it became increasingly intense.

Later on, the star-patterned stone turned emerald green.

Although it was through the star-patterned stone, everyone could already see what was inside!

"This... seems to be a living thing?" Ye Qing swallowed hard.

"This is a Heavenly Wood Silkworm!" Zhang Heng said excitedly. "Brother Kuangdao, you've struck it rich! This Heavenly Wood Silkworm is a top-grade item among wood-attribute items. It's priceless; even a ninth-grade weapon might not be able to buy it."

"Holy crap, it's actually this amazing thing!" The big yellow dog was so excited that his mouth was practically watering. He looked at Ye Qing excitedly and said, "Kid, give me this thing!"

"What's the use of this?" Ye Qing asked.

"Let me put it this way," Sun Ke said. "Once this thing is raised to maturity, it can even revive a dying emperor. Moreover, it has its own magnetic field, which can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and then feed back to it. The Heavenly Wood Silkworm silk it produces after maturity is the finest material for refining weapons. In short, its uses are endless, but..." Sun Ke continued, "This Divine Wood Silkworm doesn't look mature yet; it's still in its infancy. But even so, its value is comparable to a ninth-grade weapon. You can sell it; there are plenty of powerful forces willing to buy it!"

Ye Qing thought to himself, "Indeed. Putting aside its wonderful uses, the ability to revive top experts alone is enough to make a ninth-grade weapon worthwhile for those saints or emperors."

Ye Qing never expected that the very first star-patterned stone he obtained would yield such a top-quality item!

"I want to keep it for myself," Ye Qing said.

His situation was already complicated. The Heavenly Silkworm could help with cultivation and save lives in critical moments. Even if it wasn't used, the silk it produced could be used as a top-grade material for refining weapons. He had no reason to give it to anyone else!

“Brother Kuangdao, raising these Heavenly Wood Silkworms is extremely troublesome!” Zhang Heng said, “The most suitable place for them to live is undoubtedly the place where there are rootless trees. Rootless trees can fill a place with a large amount of life force, and then you can use this life force to plant a plant called the Heavenly Silkworm Tree. The Heavenly Silkworm Tree is extremely precious, and its growing environment is extremely demanding. It can only grow in a place with a huge amount of life force. The place where there is a Heavenly Silkworm Tree must either have the characteristics of life force, or have water without a source or rootless trees!”

“If there were a rootless tree, and the Heavenly Wood Silkworms were kept there, they could probably reproduce. With three to five Heavenly Wood Silkworms, and after they matured, it would take decades to collect their silk and forge a Heavenly Silkworm Divine Armor. It would probably be the strongest defensive weapon below the level of a divine artifact,” Zhang Heng said. “Unfortunately, neither of them is easy to find. Rootless trees or Heavenly Silkworm trees are both extremely rare!”

“Yes!” Just then, Zhang Ke said, “In this universe, the Heavenly Silkworm Tree is said to only exist in the place where the Medicine God Gu Yanzhi resides. A cup of tea brewed from the leaves of the Heavenly Silkworm Tree is full of spiritual energy. Each of these things is a treasure of the universe! It’s too difficult to obtain, so I think you should sell it!”

Ye Qing's heart stirred.

The tree without roots happened to have one section. He planned to take it to Earth and bury it there after he met the people of Earth again, so that the spiritual energy of Earth would become more concentrated!

A tree without roots can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, changing the concentration of spiritual energy on a planet. Although it takes some time, it is worth it for Ye Qing.

Now, all he needs to do is find the Heavenly Silkworm Tree, and he can wait for the Heavenly Silkworms to reproduce and spin silk. Moreover, it can even save his life in critical moments.

He felt it was worth it.

Of course, he couldn't tell these people.

"Okay!" Ye Qing nodded and said, "We can sell it later."

After saying that, he put the things away.

Upon seeing this, the big yellow dog grabbed Ye Qing's arm and pleaded, "Give it to me! Please!"

"Then you'll have to replace the stuff you swindled from Mihang!" Ye Qing said.

"Never mind then!" The big yellow dog rolled its eyes and walked to the side.

Ye Qing thought for a moment, then took out a sixth-grade weapon. He had several of these weapons, all acquired during the Genius Battle. He handed the weapon to Zhang Heng, saying, "A small gift, nothing more!"

"Brother Kuangdao, what do you mean by this? It was just a small favor," Zhang Heng quickly replied.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to open this star-patterned stone; I would most likely have sold it!" Ye Qing said. "So Brother Zhang, please don't be so polite!"

Zhang Heng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll accept your offer!"

The others all wore expressions of envy. To Ye Qing's surprise, the vast majority of people here did not show greed when they saw this treasure, which was comparable to a ninth-grade weapon; most of them were just envious.

And envy is simply human nature.

"Then everyone, please..." Zhang Heng hadn't finished speaking!

Ye Qing coughed and said, "Well, Brother Zhang, I have another piece of star-patterned stone. How about... you cut it again?"

As he spoke, Ye Qing flipped his hand again and took out the second star-patterned stone!
