One of the largest hotels in Las Vegas, the luxurious suite of Caesars Palace was dazzlingly resplendent, but even that couldn't compare to the staggering sight before them. Liao Xiaojin's eyes widened with excitement as he stared at the massive pile of cash on the enormous bed: "Three billion! Three billion US dollars! What are these little devils doing carrying so much cash around? Is this girl worth that much?" Amidst his excitement, Liao Xiaojin couldn't shake off a hint of puzzlement. "I guess we'll only know when Master wakes her up!" Zhou Qing's expression was grave, however, as he placed two fingers on the wrist of the unconscious girl, feeling her pulse and shaking his head repeatedly.

  Liao Xiaojin burst out laughing: "Haha! Master, when will you start practicing medicine? Didn't you say that the puppet technique is in the brain? Why are you looking at his wrist now and making such a fuss?"

  "Hmm!" Zhou Qing smiled awkwardly, "How can you talk to Master like that? Are you asking for a beating? Am I examining your pulse or checking if you have other injuries?"

  "It's obvious that she's just pretending to be cool! And what's with the pulse diagnosis? What a joke!" Liao Xiao Jin muttered and asked, "Master, is there still any hope for her? It would be such a waste if someone so beautiful were to die!"

  "It's really troublesome! I'm not confident either, her mind is being controlled by the puppet worm. We need to lure out the puppet worm and then slowly nurse her back to health. If we don't, after a long time, the puppet worm will lose control and devour her brain, at that point even if the Great Luo Golden Immortal came, it would be useless." Zhou Qing analyzed.

  "What's going on?! Is there any way to lure out the puppet worm?" Liao Xiao Jin asked. "That still needs your help!"

  "What? How can I help?"

  "Puppets may come in many varieties, but most of them love fresh blood. Just release some and I'll use the scent to lure it out, then slowly nurture it with the energy of the wooden element."

  "My blood again! Why is it always mine?"

  "Are you not using it, or should I use Master's? Or would you like to be the master? Anyway, you're a blood relative, losing ten or eight pounds doesn't matter, and you'll recover immediately. But it's different for Master." Zhou Qing laughed loudly. He thought: "Your blood contains the sacred blood of Jiuli, which is the best supplement for those insects. If not yours, whose would they use?"

  "Alright, for the beauty I'll make this sacrifice." Liao Xiao Jin said with a serious tone. Zhou Qing didn't say much either. With a swift motion, she made a small cut on Liao Xiao Jin's wrist. "Later when you see something strange coming out, immediately move her away, got it? Also, stick this talisman on her body, so the puppet worm can't get in. The timing is crucial, as soon as it comes out, stick the talisman." Zhou Qing instructed.

  He dipped his finger in blood and drew a symbol on the palm of his hand, placing it next to the girl's ear. With a surge of energy, a faint golden light with specks of crimson seeped into her ear, and after a brief moment, a soft humming noise emanated from within. A golden caterpillar-like insect, roughly an inch long and as thick as a chopstick, slowly emerged from her ear. What was even more bizarre was that the golden caterpillar had a pair of delicate wings on its back, thinner than a cicada's wings, which fluttered rapidly, radiating a golden glow. As soon as the golden insect appeared, it transformed into a beam of golden light and flew swiftly towards Zhou Qing's palm.

  Zhou Qing gave Liao Xiao Jin a signal with her eyes, and the golden insect suddenly felt something was wrong, stopping just inches from Zhou Qing's palm. But it was too late, as Liao Xiao Jin had already acted quickly, and the golden insect was bounced back by the red light of the evil-repelling charm, falling into a jade bottle in Zhou Qing's hand.

  Zhou Qing's face was full of surprise, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Six-winged Golden Silkworm! Six-winged Golden Silkworm! It really is a six-winged golden silkworm! Which idiot actually cultivated such a good thing into a puppet worm? Doesn't know the value of things! A prodigal son!"

  Seeing Zhou Qing so flustered, Liao Xiao Jin couldn't help but ask: "What's this Six-Winged Golden Silkworm? You're so excited?" Zhou Qing smiled and said: "Go! Stick a few Wooden Spirit Symbols on that girl's body, I reckon she'll wake up in a few hours. This Six-Winged Golden Silkworm is one of the top spiritual objects in the world, but it's not suitable as a puppet insect. Once things are settled, Master will explain it to you again!" Zhou Qing was so pleased with himself!

  "Master, it's all done."

  "Hey! Not bad! This wooden spirit painting is quite impressive, and this gathering spirit array is also decent!" Zhou Qing was in a great mood and rarely praised Liao Xiao Jin, "Looks like you've been working hard to learn recently!"

  Liao Xiao Jin said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Master, when that beauty wakes up later, you must not say such things about me, or I'll really lose face!" "Oh?" Zhou Qing's eyes rolled around in a circle. "Alright then, Master will also have something to ask for your help later, don't try to put it off!"

  Liao Xiao Jin hastily nodded in agreement, patted his chest and said: "Master's affairs are my affairs. As long as you give the order, I will not hesitate to risk my life. By the way, what is that six-winged golden silkworm? It clearly only has one pair of wings?"

  "This six-winged golden silkworm is a top-notch spiritual creature in the world, and it's an ancient, rare species from the primordial era. They are extremely scarce, with only one egg laid every thousand years, taking a hundred years to hatch into a larva. The newly born larva has weak abilities and only has one pair of wings, evolving into three pairs, or six wings, when they become adults. A mature six-winged golden silkworm's abilities are simply terrifying, capable of flying through the skies and traversing the earth, reaching the heavens above and the nine hells below. However, their intelligence is low, and they have a brutal nature, with a strong desire to kill.

  It seems that during the ancient era of the Sealing Gods' War, the six-winged golden silkworms were captured and raised as treasures, with adults being cultivated into magical artifacts and larvae being fed as pets. After the war, most of the powerful beings in the world died out, and the six-winged golden silkworms also disappeared without a trace.

  Until 600 years ago, the evil Daoist master, Green Robe Old Ancestor, discovered a larva in Miaojiang. This Green Robe Old Ancestor was also an extraordinary talent, who managed to breed the six-winged golden silkworm with another species, producing a large batch of golden silkworms. Although their abilities were far inferior to those of mature six-winged golden silkworms, they still possessed the bloodline of the latter and had considerable strength.

  Especially since Green Robe Old Ancestor fed them human blood, making their nature even more brutal than that of the six-winged golden silkworm. This established Green Robe Old Ancestor's reputation as a master of the evil Dao. Later, Green Robe Old Ancestor was eliminated by the joint forces of the Shu Mountain and other major cultivation sects, and he died under the Purple-Green Twin Swords.

  The six-winged golden silkworm never appeared again, but unexpectedly, it has shown up here now! It seems to be just a larva, which can become a pet. A mature six-winged golden silkworm is comparable to a super powerful expert in the later stages of spiritual transformation!

  Even if they evolve into four-winged golden silkworms, we wouldn't be able to handle them; I estimate that even those would be comparable to experts in the early stages of spiritual transformation! In the future, when the world becomes vast and boundless, we can go and get them!"

  "Master! How long will it take for that Six-Winged Golden Silkworm to evolve into a mature insect?! It must be a considerable amount of time, just look at how it takes a thousand years to lay an egg." Liao Xiao Jin instinctively felt something was off.

  "Under normal circumstances, it would take about two hundred years for the golden silkworm to evolve from a two-winged creature to a four-winged one. As for evolving from a four-winged to a six-winged creature... who knows? I estimate it would take at least ten times longer than the previous stage, so that's at least two thousand years." Zhou Qing said with a smile.

  "Ah! What's the use of that?! Such a long time, I reckon even as a vampire I'd be dead, let alone you, Master. By then, our bones could probably be used to make drums!" Liao Xiao Jin heard this and his anger dissipated, he started rambling on without care.

  Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I'm talking about normal circumstances, meaning it grows naturally. Of course, I have a way to evolve it into a Four-Winged Golden Silkworm as soon as possible."

  "What method?" "Feed it with human blood! The Green Robed Old Ancestor did it that way back then, and the Six Winged Golden Silkworm loves to absorb souls. Heh heh!" Zhou Qing Yin laughed.

  "No way!" Liao Xiao Jin looked at Zhou Qing, his face turned pale. "Don't look at me like that, I won't do something as stupid as killing people and stealing their souls, that's what demonic cultivators do. Besides, in today's society, killing someone would cause a huge stir, why would I be so foolish? Don't forget the Tian Luo Hua Xue Shen Dao we obtained last night, the 'Du Tian Twelve God Killing Array' in the middle of it has trapped countless vengeful spirits and lingering ghosts for thousands of years, just perfect to feed the Golden Silkworm! As for human blood... Hehehe!" Zhou Qing chuckled a few times.

  Liao Xiao Jin suddenly shouted: "You're using my blood again, this time it's absolutely not going to work! Although our clan doesn't care much about it, but it's not like the water in the river or the mud in the ground, right? I need time to recover at least!"

  "Haha! Disciple! You've been following me for so long, and Master still hasn't given you any decent magic treasures, right? Originally, Master was planning to make a few powerful magic treasures for you, so you could quickly take revenge and retrieve your Zhen Ni. But yesterday, you also saw it - Master's flying sword and jade token were destroyed! Ah, no choice, Master is poor too!" Zhou Qing laughed with a sinister smile.

  "Ah!" Liao Xiao Jin was like a deflated balloon, "How much do you want? Now we can say it's settled. My treasure must be at least on the same level as your Little Heaven Flip Seal."

  "No problem, twenty pounds of blood will do." "Ah!" Liao Xiao Jin was like a madman, his whole body shaking wildly, pointing at Zhou Qing: "You! You! Are you a vampire? Or am I a vampire? Five pounds at a flat rate!"

  "Fifteen catties!"

  "Eight catties!"

  "Twelve catties!"

  "Ten kilograms at most! Otherwise, goodbye!"

  "Success! This time we've got so much money, I'll just go back and buy a few pieces of top-quality jade to make you a powerful magical artifact!"

  A faint moan was heard, and Liao Xiao Jin shouted: "Master, she's awake!" "How did she wake up so quickly, it doesn't make sense?" Zhou Qing was puzzled, but then he understood: "It must be when I infused the Golden Silkworm with energy earlier, that kid's vital energy must have been transmitted into her. This Nine Li Sacred Blood is indeed powerful! Using the Nine Li Sacred Blood to feed the Golden Silkworm, I'd like to see just how strong this Six-Winged Golden Silkworm will become! Hehe!!"

  Ling Ruoshui woke up with a dizzy head, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a man beside her, his face almost touching hers. She let out a sharp cry of "Ah!" in an eight-degree high-pitched voice that shocked Liao Xiaojin's eyes black, nearly fainting.

  Ling Ruo Shui tightly wrapped her arms around her chest, checked her clothes and skirt, found them intact, and only then slightly relieved.
