The Barbarian King grasped the golden pill and turned back to smile at Mu Jinyu, saying, "Brother Mu, here, it's for you!"
Then, with a wave of his hand, he tossed the golden pill, which had lost the Xue Zhu soul attachnt and appeared sowhat dimr, to Mu Jinyu.
"What's this?"
Mu Jinyu was a bit puzzled but instinctively extended his hand to catch the golden pill.
"Take it and eat it, it's a Great Tonic Pill! Not inferior at all to a demon beast inner core!" The Barbarian King laughed.
Mu Jinyu: "???"
"Eat the golden pill?" Mu Jinyu heard the Barbarian King's words and was struck as if by lightning, imdiately freezing in place.
Ferocious beasts absorb the essence of the sun and moon, and when they reach the Demon Emperor realm, they develop inner cores within their bodies, similar to human cultivators, which are indeed excellent materials for alchemy.
But he had never heard of human cultivators' golden cores being edible.
Moreover, even if they could be eaten, he felt he couldn't stomach it.
"What's wrong?" The Barbarian King saw Mu Jinyu's expression was off and, seeming to guess his thoughts, laughed, "It won't affect your cultivation, nor interfere with your 'Path' if you consu too many golden pills. Consuming golden pills doesn't deplete True Yuan; it just requires more refinent of the Heaven and Earth Laws." Read full story at novel⦿fire
"No need." Mu Jinyu refused, "You killed the person, so it should count as your loot; keep it for yourself."
With that, Mu Jinyu raised his hand and tossed the golden pill back to the Barbarian King.
Reluctantly, the Barbarian King persuaded, "You can't say that. If it wasn't for you, Brother Mu, holding back Xue Zhu for , I wouldn't have been able to retain him. You should still..."
He hadn't finished his sentence when, accompanied by a sound that broke through the air, his following words all got stuck in his throat, unable to co out.
The Barbarian King's eyes widened as he looked at the void where suddenly a plump little ice silkworm appeared, its copper bell-sized eyes filled with helplessness and anger.
Just as the ice silkworm appeared, it intercepted the golden pill that was about to shoot back, opened its mouth, and swallowed the golden pill of Xue Zhu in one gulp.
Seeing this, the Barbarian King almost went mad as he ca to his senses, continuously scratching his hair until it beca a ss, like a chicken coop.
"Ahhh!!"
He roared several tis unwillingly, frightening the little ice silkworm into jumping. Terrified that the Barbarian King would lose his temper, the little guy imdiately shrank behind Mu Jinyu.
Of course, the Barbarian King wouldn't kill the little ice silkworm, and he might not be able to defeat it.
After howling madly for a few tis, he cald down again and sighed, "Forget it, considering you saved our lives, this golden pill is considered repaying you."
When the little ice silkworm heard the Barbarian King's words, its little head erged from Mu Jinyu's shoulder, gently nodding, showing a bit of a happy expression.
The Barbarian King added, "But just this once, next ti you do this again, I won't let it go!"
The tone carried a bit of intimidation, but the little guy couldn't understand, shrinking back behind Mu Jinyu with a timid deanor.
This cute appearance left Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan, who ca out to greet Mu Jinyu, montarily dazed. The two won's beautiful eyes lit up, unable to resist rushing over to seize the little ice silkworm and play with it.
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu hurriedly transmitted a sound ssage to them, informing them that although this creature looked innocent and adorably cute, it was actually very dangerous, urging them to refrain from acting rashly.
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's warning, Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan realized that Mu Jinyu wouldn't joke in such matters, so they stopped in their tracks, gazing at the little ice silkworm with eyes filled with disbelief.
They simply couldn't comprehend why such a cute little creature would be dangerous.
Mu Jinyu transmitted another sound ssage: "That was a golden pill condensing the lifelong cultivation of the Unity Realm Stage, which ordinary people wouldn't be able to consu. Eating it would cause them to explode, but did you see it having any issues?"
Hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan reacted imdiately and were startled internally.
Indeed, golden pills and demon beast inner cores aren't consumable for ordinary people, yet this little guy had such an imnse appetite and showcased no problem after eating the golden pill, evidently proving it to be a unique entity.
After warning the two won, Mu Jinyu turned back to look at the little ice silkworm, curious about why it had co with him.
Could it be wanting him to be its caretaker?
"Chitter chitter..."
Seeing Mu Jinyu looking at it, the little ice silkworm displayed a very human-like smile before pointing at Mu Jinyu's Bi Fang Cauldron, gesticulating eagerly.
"You want to go in and eat sothing?"
Mu Jinyu guessed.
"Chitter chitter..." the little ice silkworm nodded vigorously.
Mu Jinyu shook his head, "No, many things inside are useful to ; I can't give them to you to waste."
After saying that, Mu Jinyu took out a few Third Rank Spiritual dicines and handed them to the little ice silkworm, "Here, these are for you to eat."
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words and witnessing his action, the little guy was imdiately displeased, sulking at him with a puffy face, then gulping down the spiritual dicines offered to it and disappearing in a flash.
"Alas..."
Mu Jinyu sighed softly, put away the Bi Fang Cauldron, and then entered the Hanchi Tribe with the Barbarian King and his companions.
On the way, the Barbarian King inquired with his n about why the enemy ca to attack their Hanchi Tribe, while also explaining to Mu Jinyu the identity of the previous group.
As Mu Jinyu suspected, they were indeed people from the Kui Dragon Tribe.
Several fierce barbarians were still angry, saying, "Barbarian King, you don't know. As soon as you and Brother Mu left the tribe, Xue Zhu brought over a hundred people and attacked. I guess they had soone secretly watching us all the ti."
"Yes, luckily, you, Barbarian King, and Brother Mu returned in ti; otherwise, if our grand formation was broken through, I'm afraid the outco today would be grim," one person said fearfully.
Another person said viciously, "Since the Kui Dragon Tribe constantly provokes us, and now Xue Zhu is dead, why don't we take advantage of their unpreparedness and kill them to annihilate them?"
"That's right. We couldn't overpower the Kui Dragon Tribe initially because they had two formidable beings in the Unity Realm guarding them. Now Xue Zhu is dead. What are we afraid of? Let's go and shatter their yolk completely!"
A group of barbarians was already suppressing their fury, cooking up a murderous aura, fiercely brimming with energy, just waiting for the Barbarian King's command to charge at the Kui Dragon Tribe and annihilate them completely.
The Barbarian King was also moved, but then thought and said, "Let's not rush. Since Xue Zhu is dead, the Kui Dragon Tribe's demise is inevitable; we should focus on the important matter first."
Upon hearing the Barbarian King's words, the barbarians felt sowhat disappointed, but they didn't dare continue insisting, then one who rembered the Barbarian King and Mu Jinyu's previous purpose queried, "By the way, Barbarian King, did you, and Brother Mu, succeed in your quest? Did you acquire the desired item?"
Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan, upon hearing this, also turned their gaze with concern.
And a group of barbarians' eyes also beca heated; if indeed successful, wouldn't that an the Barbarian King would obtain the Hedao Fruit, and their Hanchi Tribe would then possess two Unity Realm experts?
By then, they would indeed not fear the Kui Dragon Tribe at all.
Seeing his subordinates looking at him with fervent eyes, the Barbarian King smiled slightly, swinging his bone club, causing a blue fruit to float in the void.
It was the Hedao Fruit.
