“The most important part of the Divine Silkworm is the serum. After refining the Divine Silkworm, the serum would enter the body. This silkworm serum which is heaven and earth divine herb has three major functions. Firstly, it can enhance the essence force, and the increase in essence force isn’t bad as it is equivalent to a regular martial artist cultivating for a few years. Furthermore, there will not be any side effects like celestial stones. Secondly, it enhances the physical body, and the effect is rather obvious. People would typically use the Divine Silkworm to evolve the soul spirit and make it firmer. If you have a soul spirit attack, it is best to evolve your soul spirit as it has a rather good effect.”
Yi Chan’s icy cold transmitted voice echoed in Jiang Yi’s ears. He nodded and was silently amazed as this Divine Silkworm was truly a mystical existence in heaven and earth and had so many functions. The essence force could be slowly cultivated, and there weren’t any huge uses for enhancing the physical body. Jiang Yi naturally prepared to use it for firming up his soul spirit. Wrong… he was going to use it to firm up his soul sword!
He had twelve soul swords which had been evolved by the Butterfly’s Spring, and the power was doubled. If he was to use the silkworm serum to further evolve it, the powerful would definitely be shocking. It would become a type of powerful attack method.
Fury of Thunder couldn’t be used, and the Divine Sound Heaven Skill must not be used unless his life was in danger. His soul sword might have been exposed before, but the appearance was now completely altered. It had turned golden in color, and it was much stronger now. Regular people wouldn’t be able to recognize it, right?
As he used his essence force to gradually refine the Divine Silkworm, a trace of white fluid seeped out from the Divine Silkworm as expected. He quickly guided this white fluid into his body and through his meridians to head straight for the soul spirit sea.
As expected!
As soon as the silkworm serum entered the soul spirit sea, the 72 soul swords went insane. They flew around in the soul spirit sea and flocked straight for the silkworm serum. Jiang Yi naturally didn’t allow them to behave recklessly. He controlled and immobilized the rest of the soul swords, and only allowed one of the golden soul swords to constantly absorb the silkworm serum.
Buzz!
Something happened that made Jiang Yi so stirred up that his body shuddered. The golden soul sword absorbed a portion of the serum and evolved again. This time, the color had turned dark gold, and its size was smaller and much more compact. Runic patterns were flowing on the surface, and it didn’t look like a soul sword anymore. It looked just like a real spirit-connected cardinal treasure as though it had a materialized body.
Alright!
Jiang Yi yelled out in his heart and controlled the second golden soul sword to absorb the serum which quickly evolved again. It similarly turned dark gold in color and looked like a materialized item. It suspended in the soul spirit sea like a matchless artifact sword.
Third one!
Jiang Yi didn’t dare to have any delay. The longer the serum sat around, the easier they would be wasted when they got absorbed by the body. He controlled the third golden soul sword to absorb the serum, and after the third soul sword evolved, he controlled the fourth soul sword. It was a pity that… the serum had depleted. The Divine Silkworm was only as big as a thumb, and there was only a tiny bit of serum.
“Sigh… how good would it be if I could capture a few dozen Divine Silkworms!”
Jiang Yi sighed helplessly and let out a sigh. When he opened his eyes, Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing had already finished refining the serum. Jiang Yi gave a deep bow to Yi Chan with gratitude. It was such a valuable treasure, and Yi Chan was willing to share one with him. It was just like sharing a priceless treasure.
As the Purgatory Ruin belonged to the Yi Clan, Yi Chan could enter this place whenever she wanted. This Divine Silkworm wasn’t considered valuable to her. Despite the case, Jiang Yi was still grateful to her. The two of them might be destined to be archenemies in the future, but Jiang Yi silently swore in his heart. He would do everything he could to fulfill Yi Chan’s request as he truly owed her too much.
“Let’s go!”
Yi Chan took a dull look at Jiang Yi with calm eyes and without a trace of emotion. She flashed outside and teleported everyone out. She then continued to open the path with Sister Xing and led everyone forward.
This time, the group wasn’t as fortunate anymore as they had reached the exit of the valley. They no longer encounter any astral wind current and didn’t have the chance to see another Divine Silkworm. Yi Chan took a few glances in the distance and turned around to give an instruction: “Scout the terrain.”
Jiang Yi sat cross-legged and released his Divine Perception to scout. One hour later, he opened his eyes and spoke with fire in his eyes, “In the northwest direction, the soil is considerably blacker, and it might be due to high temperature. The Lava Lake might be over there!”
“Black soil? That should be it, let’s go!”
Yi Chan’s eyes lit up and rushed towards the northwest direction while Yin Ruobing and the others followed with excitement. She ran and transmitted a message to Jiang Yi. “Young Master Bai Yi, hurry up. Every time the ruin opens, the Lava Lake would only reveal around twenty spirit herbs, and they are all top-class spirit herbs. If anyone else found them first, there will be no meaning to enter the ruin.”
If Jiang Yi couldn’t obtain the Fire Snake Orchid, it would be meaningless for him to enter the ruin. Hence, he was running at his top speed and followed everyone. After sprinting for an entire day, he scouted again and noticed there was indeed a large lake 600 miles in the northwest direction. The lake was filled with lava, and there was no one around.
“Let’s go!”
After the confirmation, Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing traveled without any rest. This Purgatory Ruin might belong to the Yi Clan, and Yi Chan wasn’t lacking any spirit herbs. It was a display of capability to be able to obtain the spirit herbs when competing against so many exceptional young masters and ladies.
Yi Chan’s heart was higher than the sky, and she looked down on everyone under the heavens. She naturally wasn’t willing to be weaker than others.
For this 600-mile journey, it would take around one day with their regular speed. This time, they merely used half a day to arrive at the vicinity of the Lava Lake. The temperature started to climb, and even though everyone was within their divine shields, they were gradually perspiration. Their fringes were drenched with sweat.
Jiang Yi didn’t feel anything but after traveling for a section of the journey, he noticed the drenched fringes of the ladies, he got a shock. He had a fire immunity treasure on him, and it was something that Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing knew about. If he didn’t have any reaction to the heat, he would probably attract the duo’s suspicion.
He gritted his teeth and stored the Fire Spirit Pearl into his ancient divine essence ring. The Fire Spirit Pearl was no longer protecting the owner and wouldn’t transfer that mysterious energy. Hence, Jiang Yi was feeling very hot, and his back was drenched.
It was fortunate that Yin Ruobing, Yi Chan, and the others were scouting forward with their divine senses and didn’t pay any attention to him. As they pressed on, it got hotter. Among everyone, Yi Chan—who was the strongest—could only extend her divine senses by over ten miles, and so she still couldn’t see the Lava Lake. As for Jiang Yi’s divine senses which were inferior, he could only scout a patch of black soil ahead.
Hoo-Hoo!
As the temperature climbed up, everyone’s panting sound grew louder; and they were drenched with sweat. Yi Chan finally discovered the Lava Lake, and there were wet patches on her purple dress which was sticking onto her body, making her exquisite body faintly discernible.
Yin Ruobing wasn’t doing any better, and because of the high temperature, she found it difficult to conceal her fragrance. A wave of fragrance spread out and gave Jiang Yi who was at the back, a mental shock.
Gulp, Gulp!
When Jiang Yi saw Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing’s faintly discernible brilliant figures and smelled the tantalizing fragrance, he instinctively gulped down two mouthfuls of saliva and had a little reaction. When Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing heard the gulping sounds, they turned around at the same time and had a flash of embarrassment in their eyes. Yin Ruobing’s face which was flushed red due to the high temperature looked even more alluring now and could captivate souls.
“What are you looking at?”
When Sister Xing saw how Jiang Yi stared at Yin Ruobing’s charming face like an imbecile, she glared at him and asked with a frown, “Didn’t you dislike women? Why are you staring at our Young Lady like this?”
“Uh…”
Many pairs of eyes swept over, and Jiang Yi quickly turned around and flung his hair flirtatiously and said, “Actually… I am bisexual!”
“Bah!”
