Chapter 499 Golden Silkworm Cave

boom!

The blazing white cold fire of the netherworld exploded with unimaginable power at this moment, and almost instantly, it ignited the entire remnant soul of the ancient demon.

"ah!"

"Spirit fire specifically aimed at divine souls? Damn it."

The remnant soul of the ancient demon, whose whole body was ignited, let out an unwilling roar at this moment. No matter how hard he tried, he could not get rid of the cold fire, which was like maggots on the tarsal bones.

Soon, his remnant soul body shrank rapidly. In the blink of an eye, his entire soul body turned into fly ash and completely dissipated.

The remnant soul of this ancient demon, which had been suppressed for many years, is now in a state of near exhaustion. He is almost wiped out by the passage of time.

He has been dormant for so many years, and during this period he has encountered more than one sensory exploration by the spiritual consciousness of the monks in the Nascent Soul stage. He tried his best to prevent this place from being exposed.

It was not easy to find a monk who could detect the abnormality here. Unfortunately, that person was only a weak monk in the foundation-building stage, and his spiritual consciousness was unable to break through the spiritual suppression of the old ghost Xuanyang.

So he could only leave a message, telling the other party that without the cultivation level of the pill formation stage, he would not be able to break through the mark of divine consciousness, let alone get the nest of golden silkworms behind the stone tablet.

Finally, hundreds of years passed by in a blink of an eye, and he finally found a monk who was in the elixir formation stage, and his soul was extremely powerful.

But what he didn't expect was that the monks in this elixir-forming stage actually possessed the heaven and earth spirit fire that was specially designed to burn souls!

And his remnant soul, which was already extremely weak, could not withstand the burning of the spiritual fire, and it completely perished in an instant.

"Just die like that?"

Looking at the remnant soul of the ancient demon that had vanished into thin air, Li Qing's back was covered in cold sweat.

He knew that the reason why he was able to deal with the opponent so easily was probably not only due to the power of Netherworld Cold Fire, but more importantly, the fact that this demon had been suppressed for countless years and was already extremely weak.

Not far away, Zhao Tianxiong, who had just been dropped from the air by Li Qing, flew over with a large golden sword under his feet.

"Master Li, did you destroy that demon?" Zhao Tianxiong's eyes widened, and he was extremely horrified.

The powerful remnant soul of the ancient demon just now was burned to ashes in such a sudden way, which was really unbelievable to him.

That is the great alien demon that has been suppressed since ancient times. Even if it becomes extremely weak now, it will not be wiped out so easily, right?

But now it was really happening. At this moment, his attitude towards Li Qing became even more respectful.

After seeing Zhao Tianxiong, Li Qing nodded slowly: "It's just a fluke. I happened to have a method to target the soul."

Soon, Li Qing changed the topic again. He said with emotion: "Speaking of which, this time I was almost harmed by you, Fellow Daoist Zhao. The seizure of the body by an ancient demon is not that easy to solve."

"Do you think I saved your Zhao family once?"

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Zhao Tianxiong still felt a lot of apologies in his heart, feeling that he had tricked the man in front of him this time, Mr. Li.

But as soon as the other party said these words, he suddenly reacted, and then cold sweat broke out all over his back, and waves of fear emerged in his heart.

If he did not inform Li Qing of this news, but continued to pass on the information about this place to the subsequent successors of the Zhao family, the consequences would indeed be disastrous.

You can imagine that in the future, the Zhao family will finally train another monk in the elixir-forming stage, and on a whim, he plans to come here to conquer the golden silkworms.

But Jin Can hadn't seen it yet. After breaking through the mark of divine consciousness, he encountered an ancient demon who wanted to seize his body!

You must know that not everyone has Li Qing's method of targeting the soul. If a monk in the Danjie stage who was finally born in the Zhao family is caught off guard, his body is finally taken away, and the Zhao family is likely to face a disaster.

At the thought of this, Zhao Tianxiong clenched his fists, cupped his fists deeply and said:

"Zhenren Li, this great kindness will never be forgotten by the Zhao family!"

"From now on, the Zhao family will be led by Master Li!"

After hearing this, Li Qing waved his hand indifferently and said:

"That's all, let's go see if there are really golden silkworms in that cave."

"If you don't find golden silkworms, it would be great to get some golden silkworms."

After saying that, Li Qing flew back in the direction he had just escaped.

In the deep pit on the ground, a cave filled with evil energy has appeared.

Without the mysterious stone tablet set up by the ancient powerful monks to stop him, demonic energy continued to seep out of the cave at this moment.

The cave was very deep, and Li Qing hesitated for a moment before extending his condensed consciousness.

His consciousness penetrated deeply, and soon he saw many golden threads spread throughout the cave.

However, due to the infiltration of demonic energy, most of the golden silk has been contaminated by demonic energy.

Not only was the spirituality completely lost, but it was also glowing with a thick inky black color.

Obviously, these golden silks contaminated by demonic energy can no longer be used to refine magic weapons.

"Go in and take a look. There shouldn't be any remnant souls of other ancient demons inside."

The cave was just big enough for one person to go deep. Li Qing looked back at the broken stone tablet and suddenly realized that the remnant soul of the ancient demon was probably suppressed in the stone tablet, not in the cave.

This is why the stone tablet will explode after the demon escapes.

As for the strong demonic energy in the cave, it should be what the devil left behind during his lifetime.

Zhao Tianxiong, who was following closely behind, looked a little nervous. Just now, he also used his spiritual sense to sense it, and naturally he could clearly see the situation in the cave.

"These golden silk threads have been soaked with demonic energy." He frowned, feeling quite disappointed in his heart.

The fundamental purpose of their trip was for this golden silk. If they were all contaminated by demonic energy, their trip would be in vain.

And judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that there will be no golden silkworms alive in the cave.

"It's okay. There is still some golden silk inside that has not been infected by the evil spirit. It should be enough to refine the golden silk jade clothes."

His spiritual consciousness was much stronger than that of Zhao Tianxiong, and he could immediately sense the situation in the deepest part of the cave.

As he spoke, he quickened his pace and quickly went deep inside.

Soon, the narrow tunnel suddenly opened up, and the space instantly became spacious.

It turned out to be a naturally formed underground palace. Stone pillars stood in the cave, and the surface of the stone pillars was covered with golden threads.

Snap!

Li Qing snapped his fingers, and a cluster of crimson flames burst out from his fingertips.

The dark underground palace was suddenly illuminated, and the golden silk threads also reflected the golden light.

"Great, these golden silk threads are not contaminated by demonic energy!" Zhao Tianxiong's tone suddenly became excited.

With these golden silks, there is absolutely no problem in refining gold jade clothes.

There was no need for Zhao Tianxiong to talk nonsense, Li Qing had already started to put it away.

His powerful mana surged out, and one golden silk thread after another was pulled down from the stone pillar and quickly fell back into his hand.

It didn't take long before he already had a handful of golden silk in his hand. Although it looked like just silk thread, it was quite heavy, as if it were a handful of real gold silk.

In the future, if these threads are refined according to the method on the Golden Thread Jade Clothes Refining Chart, and mixed with Nuanyang Chalcedony, they will become an indestructible defensive magic weapon!

After collecting all the golden silk scattered throughout the underground palace, Li Qing casually took out a small portion, which was almost enough to refine a golden jade garment.

He handed the ball of golden silk to Zhao Tianxiong, who looked frightened and shook his head one after another:

"Zhenren Li, our Zhao family has already received your favor this time, but we can no longer ask for this golden silk."

Hearing this, Li Qing chuckled and said: "Take it, Mr. Li will do what he promised."

The amount of golden silk harvested now is quite large. To be honest, it is enough to refine seven or eight pieces of golden jade clothing.

It doesn't hurt to share some with the other person. If you have a clear conscience in everything, you don't need to worry about being harassed by inner demons in the future.

After hearing this, Zhao Tianxiong gratefully took the golden silk.

He understood that this time he had inherited a great favor.

This Zhenren Li not only helped his Zhao family get rid of a huge disaster, but was also willing to keep his promise and give him a piece of golden silk.

With such character, the future Zhao family can definitely trust him.

After collecting all the golden silk threads, Li Qing continued to delve deeper into the underground palace.

Soon, several shriveled remains of golden silkworms appeared in front!

Click!

As soon as they were touched, these golden silkworm sloughs shattered into pieces and turned into withered powder on the ground.

Looking at all this, Li Qing frowned.

"There are only remains, but no silkworm corpses. Where did those golden silkworms hiding in the underground palace go?"

As he spoke, his consciousness spread again and continued to flow out.

But soon, his powerful consciousness encountered an obstacle on a wall, as if it was trapped in a swamp and could no longer spread.

After noticing this anomaly, Li Qing moved closer to the wall where something was wrong.

He stretched out his hand and pressed it, and the wall shattered. It was not as hard as expected.

Boom!

The entire wall suddenly collapsed, and then the true appearance inside was revealed!

It turned out to be a hollow darkroom inside!

When Li Qing's eyes fell on the dark room, his whole body began to tremble slightly.

In the dark room, one after another, golden silkworm eggs that were golden in color and round like pearls were piled up in a pile!

Yes, these are golden silkworm eggs!

Zhao Tianxiong, who was rushing over from the side, also took a sharp breath after seeing this.

"hiss!"

"Could it be that these are the eggs of golden silkworms?"

Even Li Qing, who had always been as indifferent as water, now had a burning look in his eyes, and his breathing became slightly faster.

Because there are so many golden silkworm eggs, at a rough count, there are hundreds of them!

He quickly stepped forward to investigate, stretched out his slightly trembling hand, and landed on these golden silkworm eggs.

"No, most of the golden silkworm eggs have lost their vitality!"

Li Qing's brows suddenly furrowed. He originally thought he would get a lot of golden silkworm eggs, but he was disappointed.

He felt that the golden silkworm eggs he touched with his hands were all lifeless, and some even shriveled up.

It looks golden on the surface, but in fact it is completely drained of life.

In this way, Li Qing peeled apart the stacked golden silkworm eggs one by one and examined them carefully.

Each one was the size of a fist. Li Qing frowned, and his heart sank every time he pulled out a golden silkworm egg that had lost its vitality.

"That's what I expected. It's been so many years and they haven't hatched yet. It's normal for these golden silkworm eggs to lose their vitality."

Zhao Tianxiong, who was standing aside and watching, said with some regret.

However, at the next moment, Li Qing's frown finally relaxed.

Under this pile of lifeless silkworm eggs, there are still three last ones that still have some life!

And the vitality is not weak, it can even be said to be a little exuberant!

Obviously the other silkworm eggs have become dead eggs, but these last three still have such strong vitality.

"I see."

Li Qing whispered, and he saw the key point.

It turned out that the dead silkworm eggs that he had just picked out had actually provided all their vitality to these last three.

"Yes, and only in this way can the last three golden silkworm eggs be preserved intact for so long."

After the words fell, Li Qing reached out his hand, and the rich true energy in his body surged out.

He used his true energy to transfer into these last three golden silkworm eggs to ensure that their vitality could be maintained.

Three golden silkworm eggs! As long as they can be hatched, Li Qing will get three golden silkworms!

This is an existence that is listed in the "Record of Strange Insects of Heaven and Earth". Although it is ranked relatively low, only at the 96th place, it is still a very valuable existence.

Many powerful immortal forces, or some long-established immortal cultivating families, will definitely have a strong interest in this.

Because once enough types of spiritual gold can be fed to it, the golden silkworm will have the opportunity to transform into a six-winged golden moth!

At this point, Li Qing's eyes showed a look of satisfaction, and then he collected the three vigorous golden silkworm eggs together.

He had no intention of giving one to Zhao Tianxiong because it was not part of his prior commitment.

On the side, Zhao Tianxiong did not show any disappointment. He understood that he had gained enough from this trip.

Not only did he solve a serious problem for the future Zhao family, but he also harvested a ball of golden silk.

In addition, Li Qing will also refine a gold-lined jade garment of the highest level of magic weapon for him to give to his useless son to save his life.

"Although I didn't see the golden silkworm alive, it's pretty good to harvest three eggs."

"Let's go, Fellow Daoist Zhao. There's no point in staying here now. Leave now."

After putting away the golden silkworm eggs, Li Qing had no intention of staying long.

This ancient battlefield is still full of too many unknowns and dangers, so leaving as soon as possible is the best choice.
