Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang smiled brightly and said, “Truly, I am certain, and it is of exceptional quality. It must have been crafted by an eighth-rank spiritual alchemist, or perhaps even a ninth-rank one!”
In the Tianyuan Continent, there are few individuals who have reached the pinnacle of the Holy Sage realm, and naturally, ninth-rank spiritual alchemists are also rare.
This pill is most likely the work of an eighth-rank spiritual alchemist.
Its quality is quite acceptable.
However, if Ye Wushuang were provided with sufficient medicinal materials and reached the Star-Picking realm, the efficacy of the pill he personally refined would definitely be enhanced sixfold!
Ye Wushuang did not wish to elaborate further and urged, “What comes next?”
Hearing this, Qingmu Cliff rose to his feet and said, “Follow me.”
The two walked past the pavilion and continued along the narrow mountain path, heading deeper into the mountain range.
After the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, another pavilion appeared ahead.
The two entered the pavilion and once again sat opposite each other at the stone table.
Qingmu Cliff then said, “What I am about to give you next is something that can control the Chi Shen Bug.”
“However, before that, I hope you can agree to a condition of mine.”
Ye Wushuang smiled and replied, “Do tell.”
Qingmu Cliff’s mouth twitched.
If he were still alive, such a mere Ten Thousand Laws realm cultivator would never dare to speak so insolently in front of him. He would have slapped him dead long ago.
Ye Wushuang, of course, knew that Qingmu Cliff could not do anything to him.
Qingmu Cliff forced himself to be patient and said, “The Chi Shen Bug is a type of insect born from the heavens and the earth. When it was weak, I discovered it and nurtured it for many years. I have a very deep bond with it.”
“Back when my Guangling Palace was destroyed by that bastard Mu Beige, I had a chance to escape. But for its sake, I chose to die so that it could live on.”
“It needs to consume life force to enhance its power. I once cultivated it to the level of a seventh-rank spiritual beast. Over the years, without life force to consume in my sleeping chamber, it has dropped to barely a fifth-rank level.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang’s expression froze.
Qingmu Cliff actually cared so much for the Chi Shen Bug.
He chose to die for it, even when he could have survived?
Could it be that…
Ye Wushuang looked at Qingmu Cliff, his eyes filled with astonishment.
Qingmu Cliff met Ye Wushuang’s gaze, frowned, and then seemed to realize something. He shouted, “You little brat, I’ve been putting up with you for a long time. What filthy thoughts are you having in that mind of yours?”
“I have a wife and children!”
Ye Wushuang covered his mouth and coughed, saying, “You misunderstood. I didn’t mean that.”
“I think you did!”
“If you say so, then so be it.”
…
The two fell into a silence.
After a long while, Qingmu Cliff sighed and said, “It is more like my confidant. It once had a chance to ascend to the eighth rank, but it gave it up to save me.”
At this point, Qingmu Cliff said fiercely, “That bastard Mu Beige…”
If it weren’t for Mu Beige, Guangling Palace would still be a dominant force, and he and the Chi Shen Bug would still be together!
“Compared to Mu Beige being a bastard, I think you guys might be even worse,” Ye Wushuang sneered. “Mu Beige doesn’t kill innocents indiscriminately.”
Qingmu Cliff frowned deeply and said, “I always feel that you are very protective of Mu Beige. What connection do you have with him?”
Ye Wushuang waved his hand, not wishing to discuss this with Qingmu Cliff further. He continued, “Since the Chi Shen Bug is your confidant, if it is willing to submit to me, I will naturally cultivate it well. It is not impossible for it to become a ninth-rank insect in the future.”
“If it refuses to submit, then I will simply imprison it and spare its life!”
Hearing this, Qingmu Cliff nodded and said, “That is very good.”
With that, he gently placed his palm on the stone table.
At this moment, the stone table bulged, and a bamboo basket appeared from the hollow space below.
The bamboo basket was no larger than the size of a palm, with a faint bluish-gray color, and was exquisitely woven.
Seeing the bamboo basket, Ye Wushuang raised his eyebrows and said, “Heavenly Thunder Bamboo!”
At this moment, Qingmu Cliff’s eyes narrowed.
Damn it!
How did this guy know again?
He had been thinking that, as a peak Self-Forgetting realm cultivator, he could show off his profound knowledge in front of Ye Wushuang at this moment.
But it seemed that Ye Wushuang knew everything.
Ye Wushuang continued on his own, “Heavenly Thunder Bamboo grows through the tempering of heavenly and earthly spiritual thunder. It is naturally imbued with the might of thunder. Among thousands of Heavenly Thunder Bamboos, only a few survive in the end.”
“Only the core section of Heavenly Thunder Bamboo can be woven in this way…”
“This bamboo basket is more valuable than the Supreme Spiritual Technique, Supreme Spiritual Artifact, and the seventh-rank spiritual pill you mentioned earlier.”
“However… the Chi Shen Bug… does indeed fear thunder. A bamboo basket woven from Heavenly Thunder Bamboo can indeed control it!”
Across from him, Qingmu Cliff was silent.
He had nothing more to say, as Ye Wushuang had already said everything he wanted to say.
“However…” Ye Wushuang looked at Qingmu Cliff and smiled, “Don’t deceive me. This bamboo basket woven from Heavenly Thunder Bamboo can indeed control the Chi Shen Bug, but… it can’t possibly just crawl into this cage by itself, can it?”
Hearing Ye Wushuang’s words, Qingmu Cliff laughed with the self-satisfaction of a master.
Little brat!
Finally, there is something you don’t know, isn’t there?
