“Indeed.”
After the words of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord fell.
Xu Yuan also secretly thought to himself, “As expected.”
That’s right.
After transforming into the [Insect] form last night and advancing its evolution, and learning about the ‘Qinxian Ancient Silkworm’.
He spent the whole night contemplating his situation.
There were actually only two choices he could make.
First, he could continue to develop in low-key, not revealing any of his special characteristics.
Until the dust settles from the previous incidents, he could find an opportunity to leave Huang Hua Temple.
Then, he could truly fly high in the sky and swim freely in the ocean.
This option had obvious advantages, but also obvious drawbacks.
Xu Yuan was very clear about it.
Unless he was willing to spend his entire life as an ordinary mortal in this world, being at the mercy of those immortals and Buddhas.
Then he couldn't fall behind in his cultivation.
However, as far as Xu Yuan knew.
In the four continents of this human realm.
Wherever spiritual essence is abundant, there are Great Demons residing.
Although his current cultivation has already reached the realm of True Essence, making him a headman-level powerhouse.
But to occupy a place of spiritual essence, he still lacked the means.
On the contrary, Huang Hua Temple.
This spooky place, though a den of demons and worm demons.
But in terms of cultivation, it was indeed a spiritual land.
Furthermore, the necessities of cultivation are nothing but wealth, companions, methods, and places.
All four of these things are easy to find in Huang Hua Temple.
But leaving Huang Hua Temple, it would be really hard to find them.
And most importantly.
The Qinxian Silkworm egg in his body had already been refined by him, and he was unsure if the numerous teaching masters of Huang Hua Temple had the ability to discover this.
Therefore, he made the second choice.
That is, to directly confront the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord as he did today.
“I guess it should be right, that Kunlun Deity must be wanting to use the silkworm thread of the Qinxian Ancient Silkworm to recast the broken Kunlun Xianqin.”
“Therefore, to the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, I, who am the only disciple of Huang Hua Temple who has been able to regress the Qinxian Silkworm egg back to the ‘Qinxian Ancient Silkworm’... am an absolute delicacy!”
In other words.
At least until the mysterious Kunlun Patriarch behind the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord repairs his Xianqin.
Xu Yuan is absolutely safe and will even be under the special protection of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord!
Even
“In the future, even if I truly go to Kunlun, I should be relatively safe.”
It was because he understood this point that Xu Yuan came here today.
Of course.
This was also because he still had some trump cards in his hand, which is why he was so bold.
If the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord's reaction and actions were different from what he expected.
Then at worst, at worst, he still had the Heaven's Chosen Person transformation trump card to ensure his life was safe.
And as it turned out, his guess was indeed correct.
So at this moment, Xu Yuan was also without hesitation.
“Report to the Master, after I successfully refined the Ou Bao Zhen Dan last night, I can transform into this Silkworm Xian body.”
“However, I have discovered that I seem to need to consume a large amount of things that possess spiritual essence, otherwise, I will feel weak all over.”
Xu Yuan uttered these consecutive sentences.
This was precisely his purpose.
He naturally wouldn't have any weakness all over - the system’s transformation had no side effects.
But he truly needed things with spiritual essence.
This was also the biggest reason he came here today to confront the Demon Lord.
Compared to leaving Huang Hua Temple and hiding his identity to practice cultivation slowly.
He wanted to obtain enough resources from the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.
“As long as I have enough spiritual essence, I can unlock other functions of Wind Spirit Patriarch.”
“Quickly increase my strength - compared to hiding, this is the best way!”
As for whether he could get the resources he wanted, Xu Yuan had no doubts at this moment.
Because at this moment, he knew exactly what the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord was seeking and needed.
This Demon King had no possibility of refusing!
And indeed, that was the case.
“Is that true!?”
Upon hearing these words, countless thoughts flashed through the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord's mind.
He would naturally doubt Xu Yuan, and he would naturally be unwilling to pay.
After all, things with spiritual essence were precious, even for him, the Demon King.
However, when these things were compared to Xu Yuan, the ‘Qinxian Ancient Silkworm’, and the Kunlun Patriarch behind him.
They were all worthless.
Even more precisely.
Before the temptation of ‘becoming a member of the Kunlun immortals’.
The entire Huang Hua Temple, and even all the foundations he had accumulated over the years.
Were all worthless.
Therefore, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord dared not gamble.
So at this moment, he also immediately said.
“I will have people notify the supervisor of the Temple.”
“Starting today, you can go to the Food Hall to eat two Jiao Li every ten days, and you can also go to the Dan Hall to receive one ‘Dragon and Tiger Double Strength Pill’ and two ‘Gather Treasures Subdue Tigers Pills’.”
“Furthermore…”
He hesitated for a moment, then directly raised his hand and took out an item.
With a single throw, he had the object suspended in front of Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan took a quick glance and saw that the object was a wine bottle made of sheep fat jade.
The bottle obviously contained some kind of Xian wine, which was emitting a strong spiritual essence at this moment.
“This is the ‘Nine-Colored Clear Brew’, a Xian wine I obtained when the Patriarch held his birthday celebration years ago…”
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord spoke these words with a look of extreme pain.
This wine contained immeasurable spiritual essence, even he had been reluctant to drink much of it over the years.
But thinking about the many benefits of raising Xu Yuan well and bringing him to Kunlun, he forced himself to harden his heart.
“This wine, I shall give it to you!”
As soon as these words were uttered, Xu Yuan also secretly thought, ‘Nice!’
Wasn’t this what he came here for?
His mind began to recall the things the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord had said.
Jiao Li, a top-grade Xian fruit, was one of the things brought down from the heavens by the Barefoot Immortal.
Dragon and Tiger Double Strength Pill, a Xian-grade pill, had the ability to refine bones and meridians, and improve cultivation.
Gather Treasures Subdue Tigers Pills, a special-grade pill, had the effect of strengthening cultivation and magical power.
“These are all heavenly Xian pills, or rare spiritual items - truly… this Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord has been operating for many years and has connections with the Heavenly Court and Kunlun.”
“This Huang Hua Temple is really overflowing with wealth!”
Xu Yuan secretly thought to himself.
Of course, the thing that excited him most was that bottle of Xian wine.
Nine-Colored Clear Brew, a Xian-grade divine wine in the game.
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord actually gave it to him.
It was enough to see how much the Demon Lord valued him at this moment.
And what surprised Xu Yuan even more was that according to the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, this Nine-Colored Clear Brew was actually a Xian wine given to him by the Kunlun Patriarch.
Xu Yuan was considered a cultured person in his previous life, and at this moment, he suddenly thought of a famous line from his previous life.
“There are rainbow banners and scarlet scepters, the Western Queen Mother. Smiling as she holds the peach, she drinks the Nine-Colored Clear Brew.”
If this Nine-Colored Clear Brew is the one mentioned in the poem, then…
“The Kunlun Patriarch is truly…”
He thought to himself.
But his thoughts were interrupted.
Because at this moment, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord was actually still speaking.
“You are a disciple of my Huang Hua Temple, you are my disciple.”
“Now that you have obtained True Essence and the True Pill opportunity… I am very pleased, and I should talk to you about a marriage proposal.”
“So, are you willing?”
As soon as he uttered these words.
“Ah?”
Xu Yuan was stunned on the spot.
Without a doubt.
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord's words were completely beyond his expectations.
What’s with all this? Why suddenly talk about a marriage proposal?
However, Xu Yuan naturally didn’t know.
At this moment, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord was also planning in his mind.
The matter of the marriage proposal he mentioned at this moment was naturally because of a sudden calculation in his mind.
There were two reasons for this.
First, in the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord's eyes.
Xu Yuan was able to transform into the Qinxian Ancient Silkworm, his bloodline must now be special.
He, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, couldn’t possibly keep Xu Yuan - he must be offered to the Kunlun Patriarch.
But if Xu Yuan marries into the Panshi Ridge and produces offspring.
Then perhaps there would be another Qinxian Ancient Silkworm.
“The ‘Spinning Heaven Thread’ of the Qinxian Ancient Silkworm is a truly extraordinary treasure.”
Thinking about this, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord’s heart felt a surge of excitement.
Second, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord valued Xu Yuan’s future.
“This fellow, after transforming into the Qinxian Ancient Silkworm.”
“He will surely enter Kunlun in the future and be favored by the Patriarch.”
He knew this in his heart - who in the three realms didn’t know how much the Patriarch valued the Qinxian Ancient Silkworm?
So Xu Yuan would most likely enter Kunlun’s immortal registry in the future.
Now that he was arranging for Xu Yuan to marry into the Panshi Ridge.
This was binding this future person who was valued by the Kunlun Patriarch to the Panshi Ridge’s chariot.
Therefore, at this moment, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord didn’t care about Xu Yuan’s reaction.
He just directly said: “I have a junior sister named ‘Zi Zhuer’, who is the master of the Panshi Cave beneath this mountain.”
“I imagine you’ve heard of her, she has six daughters.”
“They are all beautiful as flowers, and gentle in nature.”
“You can choose one of them and marry her on a chosen day!”
