Chapter 25: Divine Silkworm Silver Thread Robe!
"What thing, take it out and let me see" Old Man Ling rubbed his beard, both eyes narrowed into a slit, showing interest.
No matter what Ling Wusuo gave, even a blade of grass, the old man would treat it as a treasure. However, there were also times when he treated the treasures given by Ling Wusuo as weeds, such as sleeping on a piece of Tian Di Ling Mai every day and still finding it uncomfortable.
Ling Wushuang smiled and nodded, as he spoke, he raised his hand to gently brush off the dust, "There are still some energy stones here, I prepared them for my family's disciples."
"Energy Stones?" Ling Moqiu was slightly taken aback, and handed five to the Lu family's master and others. Unexpectedly, there were still some in Wushuang's hands.
However, the next scene caused Ling Moqiu's expression to change from shock to stupidity.
Ling Wushuang raised her hand and gently swept, the red, orange, yellow, green, five-colored light flashed, rustling, like pouring beans, the crisp sound of ding-dong, like a sudden rain falling.
"Rustling and crackling"
All sorts of energy stones appeared in the spacious study, colorful and dazzling. In the stunned expressions of Old Man Ling and Ling Moqiu, more and more gathered, on the gray carpet, gradually forming a small hill, almost overflowing.
"This...!" Old Man Ling's eyes widened like a cow, blinking repeatedly as he tried to confirm whether his old eyes were playing tricks on him. The large and small, colorful stones in front of him were actually extremely valuable energy stones, and there were even quite a few Sacred Energy Stones!
"Musō, how do you have so many energy stones?" Ling Moqiu's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the energy stones still falling from Musō, his mouth agape in utter disbelief. "It's too unbelievable!"
Ling Moqiu listened to the gurgling sound, and his heart also thumped rapidly.
"This is an extremely precious energy stone, not gold or silver, and it's very rare to get even one. Roughly estimating, there are at least 20,000 to 30,000 pieces here! Where did Musou get them from? No wonder she could casually give away a few Saint Energy Stones."
Ling Wushuang chuckled twice, "Just good luck, stumbled upon it unintentionally"
In order not to be scolded severely, Ling Wu didn't plan on telling the old man and Ling Moqiu about the Black Temple affair.
"Ah, you little scamp!" Ling Moqiu shook his head, came back to himself, took a deep breath and calmed down the excitement in his heart. He turned around and glared at Ling Wushuang with an unhappy expression, "Fourth Uncle, why don't I have such good luck?"
Opportunities and good fortune also require people to seek them out.
Ling Wu Xiong smiled slightly, his lips curving upwards as he took out all the energy stones in his hand. He shook his sleeve and put them away, saying: "There are probably over 45,000 of these here. The four major families, any disciple who reaches the Tianxuan stage can receive one top-grade energy stone. Those who reach the ninth rank of the Tianxuan stage can receive one Sacred energy stone. If you can break through to the Sacred stage, you can receive ten top-grade energy stones and two Sacred energy stones. This includes all the guest powers from various factions, who can also compete fairly, on an equal footing."
Nowadays, the four major families have thousands of Tianxuan masters, who were previously rare. If this batch is fully utilized, it's possible that some people can break through to the Holy Stage in one go!
"It's good to handle it this way" Old Man Ling simply nodded dully, responding with a sentence, his eyes still fixed on the small hill-like energy stone in front of him, seemingly still not having come back to his senses.
"I still have a few things for Grandpa and Fourth Uncle." Ling Wushuang smiled mischievously, winking her eyes.
"What else?" Ling Moqiu and Old Man Ling were stunned for a moment, exchanged a smile, this little girl, how many more surprises did she have in store for them?
Ling Wu's wrists lightly flipped, and two pieces of clothing as thin as cicada wings appeared in her hands. The white robes were semi-transparent, with a smooth surface that seemed to be coated with a layer of moonlight, emitting soft luster under the flickering light of the study lamps.
"This is...?" Old Master Ling blinked in confusion, his old face twitching as he stroked his beard. Was this really sending clothes to them?
Although whatever Ling Wusuo sent out, the old man would take it as a treasure, but she took out two clothes that looked almost identical to undergarments, which was indeed somewhat strange, and the old man and Ling Moqiu showed some puzzlement.
After staring for a long time, still can't figure out the reason, Ling Moqiu cast his gaze at Ling Wushuang, nodding slightly with some uncertainty, "There must be some use to it"
The thing Musou took out would never be so simple, and this material, he didn't recognize it.
"Don't underestimate these two pieces of clothing" Ling Wu's red lips curved into a shallow arc, she raised her hand and gently lifted the hem of her robe, which was as thin as a cicada's wing, and it opened up to reveal a layer of pale blue light on its surface, like ripples shimmering in clear water.
"Oh?" Old Man Ling's eyes narrowed as he looked closely, his expression growing even more curious.
Ling Wushuang smiled lightly and slowly spoke out a sentence, "The materials of these two clothes are made of Divine Silkworm Silver Threads."
"Divine Silkworm Silver Thread!"
Ling Wushuang's next words were stuck in his throat, unfinished. Old Master Ling and Ling Moqiu's faces changed simultaneously, and with a sudden movement, they jumped up from their seats, staring intently at the thing in Ling Wushuang's hand.
"It's actually Divine Silkworm Silver Thread!"
The Shényīn is an ancient mythical creature, extremely mysterious, appearing and disappearing in some dangerous and ancient ruins. The most precious thing on its body is the Shényīn silver silk.
The conditions for the formation of Divine Silkworm Silver Threads are also quite harsh. According to legend, the Divine Silkworm can swallow some extremely hard mineral rocks and soils, even the likes of Purple Gold Sand and Yanluo Soil, which are considered sacred minerals, can be digested completely by it. After being swallowed and digested by the Divine Silkworm, these things will condense and form Divine Silkworm Silver Threads in its body.
A divine silkworm that can spit silk only once in almost a thousand years!
The value of the Divine Silkworm's silver silk lies in its perfect balance of softness and strength, with threads as fine as hair that can sever a thousand-yard mountain range. Not a single thread can be found easily. If made into clothing, it not only completely negates all physical attacks below the divine level but also greatly weakens spiritual power attacks.
The most important thing is that the Divine Silkworm's silk has the effect of absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. When made into clothing and worn on the body, it can absorb the surrounding heavenly and earthly spiritual energy at all times, wrapping the entire body in a dense spiritual energy. This is equivalent to cultivating every minute and every second, increasing the speed of cultivation by tens or even hundreds of times.
"Is this really the Divine Silkworm's Silver Thread?" Ling Moqiu and Old Master's faces showed shock, gazing at the two garments in Ling Wusuo's hands that were as thin as a cicada's wings, with an incredulous light flashing in their eyes.
Ling Wushuang pursed her lips and shook her head with some regret, "Unfortunately, the materials are limited, so I can only refine two pieces."
In the dark temple, treasures gather, if it weren't for the urgency of time, I'm sure there would be more such treasures to find.
"Two more!" Ling Moqiu didn't know what else to say.
He had heard that a Supreme Elder of the Holy Temple, who was even more revered than the Holy Master, had once sent out over a dozen high-ranking Saints to capture a divine silkworm, but they all lost their lives on the spot. It was also rumored that even some powerful Divine Rank experts were almost killed by it, and in the end, they still let it escape, but fortunately obtained two meters of divine silkworm silver silk, which was woven into a pair of gloves and revered as a sacred object by the Holy Temple.
Ling Wushuang rubbed the tip of his nose with a smile, looking at Ling Moqiu and handing him two robes, "However, although it's little, it just so happens that you and Grandfather each get one."
The two sets of divine robes made from silkworm silk, were repeatedly tempered by her using the Chaotic Fire, their tenacity was such that even ordinary Divine stage attacks couldn't destroy them. With Grandmaster and Fourth Master having such treasures to protect her, she would also feel much more at ease.
Her eyes slightly drooped, and she pursed her lips. "I don't need this thing anymore. Grandfather can take one piece, another piece for someone else, and you, Wú Shuāng, can keep the last one for yourself."
Such a treasure would tempt anyone, but for Ling Moqiu, the safety of Lao Yezi and Wú Shuāng was what mattered most.
"Uh..." The old man disapprovingly shook his head, and stuffed the silver robe back into Ling Wu's arms. His expression was very serious, "Mo Qiu and Wu, one piece each, that's it."
"Don't worry about me" Looking at the serious old man and Ling Moqiu, Ling Wusuo's heart warmed up, and he stuffed the two robes back into the hands of the old man and Ling Moqiu, and winked at them cutely, "I have other protective things"
There are two Death God puppets present, even a normal Divine stage expert would not be able to harm her. These two pieces of clothing were specially prepared by her for Grandfather and Fourth Uncle, as long as they are safe, she will have no worries.
"What else could you possibly have?" Old Man Ling was clearly skeptical. What kind of treasure could be more protective than the Divine Silkworm Silver Thread Robe?
"Alright, alright, when have I ever deceived you?" Ling Wu Xuan felt a bit helpless towards the old man's stubbornness, and forcibly stuffed the Shenyin Silver Silk Robe back into his hands. "Grandfather, rest assured, I really do have a way to protect myself."
Ling Moqiu and Old Master exchanged a glance, making sure Ling Wushuang wasn't joking, before nodding in acceptance.
"By the way, Grandpa, half a month later, I'm going to make a trip to Holy City." Ling Wu Xiang smiled and sat back in his chair, announcing his decision.
"Are you going to Sheng Cheng?"
"Up to Holy City!"
Obviously, both Lao Yezi and Ling Moqiu were shocked.
"No way, that's too dangerous!" Old Man Ling shook his head in strong disapproval. The Holy City was a tiger's lair, and even if Wu Shuang had reached the peak of the 9th rank Saint, he still couldn't go there lightly. If discovered by the Holy Woods, it would be difficult to escape.
"Don't worry, I have a sense of propriety and won't come uninvited." Ling Wushuang chuckled to himself.
"Too dangerous!" Ling Moqiu still felt it was not suitable. With the current relationship between the four major families and the Holy Temple being tense, if Wuduan went to the Holy City now and was discovered by them, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Ling Wushuang smiled faintly and explained, "The Holy Temple attaches great importance to the annual Holy City Conference. I think there must be some mystery behind it. This time I go, just to probe a bit, unless absolutely necessary, I won't take action."
The Holy Temple attaches great importance to the Holy City Congress, and even the four major families can temporarily hold back their momentum. She should go and join in the excitement anyway.
Mr. Ling sighed: "That must be done with great care"
Things decided by Musou are unlikely to change easily, and she must have her own thoughts.
"Hmm" Ling Wu Shuang nodded, reassuring Old Man Ling and Ling Moqiu.
Lord Ling ordered all the energy stones to be sent into the treasuries of the four major families, and also promulgated the allocation plan previously mentioned by Ling Wushuang as a decree, which was conveyed to the disciples of the four major families and the Guest Sect. This caused a stir for a while.
During this period of returning to the Ling family, there were not a few visitors who came to visit, but Ling Wushuang declined them all, grasping every minute and every second to retreat and cultivate, preparing for her trip to the Holy City. She had reached the peak of the 9th rank Saint's power, and now the most important thing was to consolidate and strengthen it.
Apart from consolidating her own strength, Ling Wusuo also rushed to make a batch of elixirs, filling the gap in elixir supply during her absence.
This time, the Sunset Forest team obtained a lot of treasures. Of course, ordinary medicinal materials were not lacking either. The Tianxin Dan, a healing-type elixir similar to it, was refined in one go for 100,000 pieces. The Po'e Dan and the Tianxuan Dan, which assisted in breaking through, were also refined in tens of thousands of pieces each. Even the Shengxin Dan and the Shengyuan Dan, this type of sacred elixir, were hastily refined in hundreds of pieces.
The already insufficiently stocked Dan Tang was immediately filled to the brim, and several people in charge couldn't help but laugh until their mouths were about to split to the back of their ears.
Of course, there were also some rare minerals that weren't many, and Ling Wu didn't have so much time to refine them one by one, so he sent them to the Craftsmen's Guild to be forged into various weapons according to his requirements.
The current Craftsmen's Guild was deceived by Ling Wushuang a few months ago and became the guest craftsmen's guild of the four major families. After that, Old Man Yi jumped up and down, scolding: It's really getting on a thief ship.
As the Holy City Congress is approaching, various forces are surging like boiling water. In tea houses and wine taverns, in forests and dangerous lands, people's discussions all revolve around the Holy Temple. Similarly, the four major families are also frequently mentioned.
"You said that the Holy Temple is holding this conference, how many disciples will be recruited?" In Donglin Kyoto, someone in the tea house of Mingxi Building also mentioned this matter.
"Who knows about this, but I think that in this world, it's still hard to find a genius who can surpass Ling Wushuang of the four major families." Some people shook their heads and sighed, as the four major families were indeed very popular recently.
As soon as the words were spoken, someone immediately clutched their heart and pretended to spit blood. "That's right! Ling Wusuo, that dead pervert, just returned to the Ling family a few days ago. According to what the master of the Lu family said, he has already broken through to the peak of the Ninth-Rank Saint!"
"Pffft——" In the elegant room on the second floor, a handsome young man in a cyan robe was so amused by the three words "dead pervert" from someone's mouth that he spat out the tea he had just taken into his mouth, staring at the person sitting beside him with an uncontrollable smile.
"Dead pervert, hahaha!" A white-robed Yun Qingchen couldn't help but burst into loud laughter, slapping his palm with a folding fan, "This nickname isn't bad, I think it's quite fitting."
Ling Wu's eyes slanted slightly, and Yun Qing's back suddenly felt a chill. He immediately shut up, cleared his throat, picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip as if nothing had happened, and put on an air of innocence.
This lady in front of us is not someone to be trifled with.
Ji Yun Yang looked at Yun Qing Chen with disdain, a gutless guy. He wiped the tea stains from his lips before turning to the person beside him, slightly furrowing his brow. "Wu Shuang, are you really planning on going to Holy City?"
Yun Qing rolled her eyes, and although she couldn't eat the atmosphere, she had just barely managed to stifle a laugh. It was an unexpected slip-up, but she definitely couldn't let Ling Wu Shuang find out about it - he didn't want to be driven to tears again by that woman.
"Hmm" Ling Wu's eyes remained fixed on the crowd in the hall, who were chatting enthusiastically, her red lips curled up and nodded slightly.
The energy contained in the Energy Stone is indeed not comparable to ordinary things. With its power, Yun Qingchen broke through the Seventh Heaven of Tianxuan a few days ago, and Ji Yuyang, after this closed-door training, successfully broke through to become a Saint, now possessing the strength of a First-Order Saint.
"It's better this way, then you and I will go together." The two of us will be much safer.
"Unnecessary," Ling Wu Xiang smiled as he turned his head, the tip of his slender finger lightly tapping on the tea table, picking up the cup beside him and taking a sip before teasing with a hint of a smile: "When running away, I don't want to drag an extra person along."
Ji Yun's mouth twitched slightly, his face turned a bit dark. This was also too much of a blow to him. However, he also knew that Ling Wu Xiong just didn't want him to follow and go on an adventure together. After all, the Holy City was the stronghold of the Holy Temple.
In the hall, those who didn't know that Ling Wusong had broken through again heard this and spat out the tea in their mouths, almost choking themselves. "A 9th-grade Saint? Is that real? That's too terrifying!"
"A thousand truths and ten thousand certainties!"
However, I'm a bit worried about the four big families openly opposing the Holy Temple like this.
"This is also true, after all, the strength of the Holy Temple is unfathomable. The Ling family, apart from that little calamity star and the Flowing Wandering Guest Team, has less than ten saints, how can they be a match for the Holy Temple?" After all, a new force is full of variables.
As soon as these words were spoken, voices of approval burst forth in an endless stream. "That's right! It's just that during this period, the Holy Temple has been busy with the Holy City Congress and didn't want to bother with the four major families."
……
At this time, the most talked-about topic among the cultivators of Tianxia Xuan Shi was not just the rapid rise of the four major families, but also the once-in-a-decade Sacred City Conference.
The rapid development of the four major families has reached an astonishing level, and people have seen it with their own eyes. However, for hundreds or even thousands of years, the idea that the Holy See is above all powers has been deeply ingrained in people's minds. Therefore, many people do not look favorably on the four major families who openly oppose the Holy See.
Compared to the four major families, the Holy Hall's strength is not just a little bit stronger, it's like a young genius falling into the hands of an older generation with deep skills, still can only wait for death, that's the truth.
There have been powers that rose like the Four Great Families before, but in the end, weren't they all crushed by the Temple with just a wave of their hand?
The four nations of the world, each with their own geniuses, all gathered at the Sacred Hall, some wanting to join in on the excitement, others wanting to witness the grand event, but most of all, they wanted to seize this opportunity to join the Sacred Hall, after all, it was only during the Sacred City's Grand Assembly and Genius Selection Tournament that the Sacred Hall would openly recruit a large number of disciples.
A decade is an opportunity that cannot be missed!
