After the three siblings talked for a while, under Lu Ping’s guidance, Lu Zhiwei ntioned the Golden Silk Silkworm.
Upon learning about the origin of the Golden Silk Silkworm, Lu Yuanshan scrutinized the three little creatures for quite a while.
"These three spirit insects, can they really be controlled even by a Golden Core Ancestor, or even a Nascent Soul True Monarch?"
In the wooden box, the three Golden Silk Silkworms still appeared listless and half-dead.
Lu Yuanshan tried to touch one of them; it only lazily arched its plump body and then returned to a stiff state, making no additional movents.
This type of ancient spirit insect was unheard of even for Lu Yuanshan. Despite knowing about their impressive origin, he was still sowhat incredulous.
Now, let alone him, even a three-year-old child could easily deal with these three Golden Silk Silkworms with one hand.
Lu Ping’s voice sounded from the side: "They are Golden Silk Silkworms, there’s no mistaking it."
"You see, so golden threads have already ford in the wooden box. These threads can serve as excellent refining materials for crafting powerful magical artifacts like the Immortal Binding Rope or the Demon-Binding Lock. Unfortunately, there is too little thread available to refine anything yet."
Lu Yuanshan and Lu Zhiwei turned their gaze and saw a clump of golden thread about the size of a peanut inside the wooden box.
Knowing that this golden thread was exceptionally strong and adhesive, impervious to water and fire, and resistant to swords and spears, they were cautious not to touch it, instead scrutinizing it carefully.
"Father wants to breed Golden Silk Silkworms?"
Lu Zhiwei asked.
"The sect needs it."
Lu Ping nodded, noticing so branches and leaves of the Spiritual Mulberry Tree in the wooden box, which had been nibbled on by the Golden Silk Silkworms, indicating they could be used as food for breeding them.
Thus, Lu Ping casually asked, "Does the sect have any Spiritual Mulberry Trees?"
The Golden Silk Silkworms are hermaphroditic and do not need to mate to reproduce.
Their regular food consists of the leaves from the Spiritual Mulberry Tree.
If necessary, so demon beasts can be captured to serve as their prey and habitat.
Lu Yuanshan shook his head, "The sect doesn’t have any Spiritual Mulberry Trees; we’ll need to procure them."
Lu Ping instructed, "This is easy to resolve. In the next few days, take care of this matter and procure a batch of Spiritual Mulberry Trees for the sect, but not too many."
"Alright."
"Additionally, you should be the one to keep these three Golden Silk Silkworms. Don’t take them out easily unless it’s ti to feed them."
"In the short term, approximately a year or so, they won’t be able to produce golden threads or pose any threat to any creatures. You can rest easy on that point."
After delegating these two tasks to Lu Yuanshan, the conversation ended.
Lu Yuanshan was very efficient; the next day, he sent an inquiry to the sect’s shop, and upon learning that the sect needed to procure three Spiritual Mulberry Trees, Xu Yecheng imdiately bought three and sent them to the Cyan Mountain Sect.
The Spiritual Mulberry Tree is a Tier One Spirit Wood. A mature tree costs about one Spirit Stone per tree, making it quite affordable and very common on the market.
Many cultivation clans and sects in Lingxi State breed Spiritual Silkworms as an industry, necessitating the procurent of large numbers of mulberry trees, which keeps the price low and makes them easily accessible.
After instructing She Qingqing to transplant the three Spiritual Mulberry Trees into the dicinal Garden, the food for the three Golden Silk Silkworms was secured.
...
On the sa day, on the outskirts of Guangde County’s western city, at the place where the Cyan Mountain Sect and others previously battled the Gu Daoist, a woman and two n were searching around.
Among them, a middle-aged female cultivator with a graceful and dignified appearance discovered sothing and pointed to the scorched earth area struck by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder:
"Senior Brother Yuan, it’s here. The place where the Shenxiao Decree was wielded would leave such a scorched earth mark, and Wu Xiangwen should’ve been slain here."
Wu Xiangwen was the na of the Gu Daoist.
As soon as the female cultivator finished speaking, another young male cultivator with a gentle deanor said,
"Yes, there’s no mistake. The news that Wu Xiangwen was ambushed and killed by cultivators from the Cyan Mountain Sect here has spread throughout Guangde County. The Shenxiao Decree he carried should now be in the hands of the group from the Cyan Mountain Sect."
"Senior Brother Yuan, should we go to the Cyan Mountain Sect for a visit?"
Another male cultivator asked.
The young cultivator with the gentle deanor nodded, "Ever since Wu Xiangwen traveled to the Qingli Sea and was bewitched by evil demons, his actions have beco increasingly radical and cruel. He even dared to covertly harm fellow disciples."
"This ti, the sect sent the three of us to hunt down Wu Xiangwen, but he managed to flee all the way to Lushan County and wreak havoc, nearly causing a catastrophe, which could have tarnished the reputation of the Shenxiao Palace."
"For this, none of us three can escape responsibility."
At this point, the young cultivator exhaled a sigh of relief.
"I am thankful that the cultivators from the Cyan Mountain Sect discovered this in ti and rid us of this villain. Whether as a gesture of gratitude or to inquire about Wu Xiangwen, we must pay a visit to the Cyan Mountain Sect."
As it turned out, these three were disciples from the Shenxiao Palace in Yunbei County, and they descended the mountain this ti to pursue and kill Wu Xiangwen, who had gone astray.
The leading young cultivator with a gentle deanor was nad Yuan Lang, and he was the highest in cultivation among the three, having reached the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation.
The other two were nad Xu Yang for the man and Lu Hongniang for the woman.
With the thought that their external mission objective, Wu Xiangwen, had been slain, the three of them felt a heavy burden finally lift from their hearts.
"What is the history of this Cyan Mountain Sect? Why have I never heard of its renown in Yunbei County?"
Having decided to visit the Cyan Mountain Sect, Yuan Lang asked.
Lu Hongniang shook her head, "I’ve never heard of them either; they must be a small sect within Lushan County. Should we ask around?"
"Might as well."
Yuan Lang nodded.
The three entered the city, spending so ti gathering information about the Cyan Mountain Sect and learned that the Cyan Mountain Sect had been established for over ninety years. It was founded by a Golden Core Ancestor who used a Sect Establishnt Order, which suddenly made things clear to them.
They also gained a general understanding of the developnt history of the Cyan Mountain Sect.
"A sect founded by a Golden Core Ancestor has declined to this extent in just ninety years; it seems the cultivation realm within Lushan County isn’t as peaceful as we imagined."
"It’s because of the Three Demon Venerables. If not for the Three Demon Venerables launching a surprise attack on Lushan County, Cyan Mountain Sect wouldn’t have ended up like this."
Lu Hongniang sighed lightly.
"No need to discuss this further. Once we reach Cyan Mountain Sect, do not bring up the chaos caused by demons or stir old wounds."
"Understood."
"Rest assured, Senior Brother."
With the three reaching a consensus, they left Guangde County and headed toward Cyan Lotus Mountain, intent on paying a visit to the Cyan Mountain Sect.
...
On the second day after planting the Spiritual Mulberry Trees, Yuan Lang and his group arrived at the foot of Cyan Lotus Mountain to visit the Cyan Mountain Sect.
Upon hearing that three disciples from the Shenxiao Palace were visiting, Lu Yuanshan was not surprised, having anticipated welcoming such visitors.
He showed them hospitality, offering good tea and water with all due respect.
The Cyan Mountain Sect hadn’t received any courteous visits from cultivators in years.
Once both sides exchanged pleasantries and brief introductions, Yuan Lang frankly stated the purpose of their visit.
