Chapter 94 Chen Yi's Wish
The beetle Gu was only half the size of a grain of rice, while the crystal of the bone worm was the size of a corn kernel, but the beetle Gu swallowed it in a few bites.
After eating the crystal, the beetle Gu was still not satisfied, so it flew from Song Wen's hand and circled around him, just like a child asking for snacks.
Song Wen took out another crystal and fed it to the beetle Gu.
In this way, the beetle Gu soon ate more than 70 crystals. When Song Wen was a little worried that it would die of fullness, it finally stopped.
The full beetle Gu lay directly on Song Wen's hand, and its tail began to spit out filaments, which automatically wrapped around it and wrapped itself up.
Song Wen's eyes lit up, the beetle Gu was cocooning.
The only time the beetle Gu cocooned was when they evolved from larvae to adults. Now this beetle Gu cocooned again, which meant that it was going to evolve again.
Song Wen narrowed his eyes and stared at the beetle Gu cocooning, fearing that it would not cocoon smoothly and lead to evolution failure.
Half an hour later, the beetle Gu was wrapped in a layer of silk.
Seeing that the beetle Gu was going well, Song Wen was quite happy. If the beetle Gu evolved again, it would become a more powerful helper.
However, when he saw the remaining 40 white-bone worm corpses in the storage bag, he was a little troubled.
The remaining crystals were not enough to allow another beetle Gu to evolve, but if the second-evolved beetle Gu wanted to reproduce quickly, it would be best to have two male and female beetle Gu.
"Maybe I can try to buy white-bone worm crystals in the market."
There were many disciples of the Corpse Demon Sect and nearby casual cultivators who went to the ancient battlefield to look for opportunities. I think someone would bring back the body of the white-bone worm.
He did it as he thought. He asked Yuan Cheng for a month's leave, and there were still ten days left. During this time, he could practice on his own.
Song Wen walked around the market, and after confirming that there were no shops or vendors selling white bone worm crystals, he decided to find a place to set up a stall and buy white bone worm crystals.
When he was looking for a suitable stall location, he found that the place where Senior Brother Xu used to set up a stall was empty, and he was gone.
However, he saw another familiar figure, Chen Yi.
"Junior Sister Chen!" Song Wen came to Chen Yi and said with a smile.
Chen Yi was the only person Song Wen knew in the Corpse Demon Sect, or in this world.
Although the friendship between the two was not deep, and the trust between the two was not high.
But they were the few friends in the Corpse Demon Sect who could tell each other a few truths.
"Hey! Senior Brother Jiyin, you are back. Did you find the empty cicada wood you were looking for?" Chen Yi asked.
Song Wen nodded and said earnestly, "I found it. I have to thank Junior Sister Chen for this."
"I hope Junior Sister will keep this a secret and don't tell anyone!"
Chen Yi nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I know the importance of this matter."
Song Wen didn't say how he got the Kongchan Wood, and Chen Yi didn't ask. The two of them knew each other and didn't ask about each other's secrets.
"Senior Brother, are you going to buy some spiritual medicine today? Can you take care of my business?"
There were more than ten kinds of spiritual medicines on the stall in front of Chen Yi.
Song Wen shook his head and said, "I'm not buying spiritual medicine today. I just happened to pass by and saw Junior Sister here, so I came to say hello."
It was afternoon at this time. There were not many cultivators coming and going in the market. Chen Yi's stall was deserted, so Song Wen stood aside and chatted with her.
Chen Yi has a fourth-grade spiritual root. Although her monthly salary as a spiritual plant husband is not much, she can occasionally rely on the output of Zhang Xiaofan's spiritual field to obtain some spiritual stones, which can barely support her cultivation.
Her current cultivation level is only the third level of Qi training, which basically cuts off the possibility of becoming an inner disciple.
If you don't become an inner disciple, it is almost impossible to get the foundation-building pill in the sect. If you want to build a foundation, you have to find a way yourself, just like that Senior Brother Xu.
And Chen Yi obviously doesn't have the temperament and skills of Senior Brother Xu, and it is almost impossible for her to get the foundation-building pill by herself.
In other words, Chen Yi has almost cut off the path to foundation building.
Fortunately, Chen Yi is not good at fighting, and does not seek strong cultivation and immortality. She just wants to live a peaceful life.
That's why she chose to become a spiritual plant husband.
With the care of Zhang Xiaofan, the direct disciple of the Danfang, no one bothered her. In the past two and a half years since joining the Corpse Demon Sect, her life has been relatively peaceful.
Song Wen could vaguely hear from Chen Yi that she was tired of the life of practicing in the Corpse Demon Sect.
Zhang Xiaofan seemed to no longer be the simple mountain village boy. Chen Yi also paid a price against her will when she received Zhang Xiaofan's care.
Her only wish now was to be able to leave the Corpse Demon Sect and become a free person one day.
Go back to where she grew up and find a place to live out her life.
......
Slowly, more and more people began to appear in the market.
Song Wen also said goodbye to Chen Yi and walked out of the market.
He walked around outside the market and returned to the market, but when he came back, his aura and appearance had completely changed, and his clothes had changed to those of a casual cultivator.
Song Wen returned to the open space next to Chen Yi's stall, set up a stall, and put up a sign with the words on it.
"I'm buying the boneworm crystals from the underground caves of the ancient battlefield of good and evil at a high price."
As soon as Song Wen's stall was set up, the market manager came to collect the stall fee. After Song Wen paid five spirit stones, the manager handed out a sign and left.
Chen Yi didn't pay much attention to the middle-aged cultivator who was setting up a stall next to him, and just thought he was an ordinary casual cultivator setting up a stall.
I didn't expect that this person was Song Wen who had just spoken to her.
Chen Yi started to get busy, and monks kept coming to her stall to ask for prices.
Unlike the endless stream of people in front of Chen Yi's stall, no one was interested in Song Wen's stall.
However, he was not in a hurry. He clearly only bought crystals from white-bone worm corpses, and people who didn't have them would naturally not come to disturb him.
When it was two quarters after the hour of Xu, when it was already dark, the first customer finally appeared in front of Song Wen's stall.
"You buy crystals from white-bone worms?"
Song Wen looked happy, someone finally came.
The visitor was wearing the outer sect uniform of the Corpse Demon Sect, had a sixth-level Qi training level, had a square face, and looked to be in his thirties.
Song Wen smiled and said, "Hello, Senior Brother. I am indeed buying the crystals of white bone worms?"
The square-faced man said, "I do have some white bone worm corpses on me. The crystals in their bodies have not been taken out yet. I can give them to you, but you have to tell me first, what are the uses of these white bone worm crystals?"
Song Wen was a little stunned. From the tone of this person, no one has discovered the effect of white bone worm crystals, at least the person in front of him does not know.
In other words, in the eyes of most cultivators, white bone worm crystals are still useless.
Song Wen immediately realized that he was a little rash to buy white bone worm crystals here.
Song Wen's thoughts turned rapidly in his mind, and he spoke after a while.
"I don't know what the use is. I just bought the white bone worm crystals here on the order of Elder Shi Shou of the sect."
"Elder Shi Shou?" The square-faced man murmured, his eyes looking back and forth at Song Wen, trying to see the guilty look on Song Wen's face.
However, he did not see any clues on Song Wen's face, and he was inevitably disappointed.
"Since the crystals are what Elder Shi Shou needs, I am overstepping my authority. I have ten white-bone worm corpses here as an apology to you, my junior brother."
Song Wen took the white-bone worm corpses without hesitation and said, "Elder Shi Shou urged me to do this, and I was worried about this matter. Thank you very much, senior brother. With these ten white-bone worm crystals, I can report to Elder Shi."
After saying this, Song Wen began to pack up his stall, as if he had already purchased enough white-bone worm crystals and was about to leave the market.
