Chapter 324: Chapter 317: Insect Coffin_1

It is said that clothes woven from the silk of the sericulture initiated by the great ancestor not only resist water and fire, but can also ward off blades, and even repel harsh cold.

Emperor Xuanyuan was able to defeat Chi You largely because the great ancestor wove him soft armor made from the silk of the initial sericulture, which made a significant contribution to his victory.

Poisonous insects, snakes, and ants dared not approach Emperor Xuanyuan.

This was all because he was wearing inner armor woven from the silk of the initial sericulture.

The initial sericulture could be called the Ancestor of Insects, and its rank was very high.

After spinning its cocoon, it was at its most vulnerable. To avoid being preyed upon by natural enemies, it would put great effort into its cocoon, including allowing its own initial sericulture aura to attach to the cocoon.

Silk is actually obtained from the cocoon.

Thus, inner armor woven from the silk of the initial sericulture naturally carried its aura, enough to make all poisonous insects keep a respectful distance.

Qin Niu had come across snippets of the exalted reputation of the Blood Silkworm in his readings.

Some people had even specifically created the Blood Silkworm Divine Skill based on the unique characteristics of the Blood Silkworm.

The He Family, as a well-established and wealthy clan, indeed had profound resources.

They actually possessed a cocoon of the Blood Silkworm.

“Has your He Family raised only one Blood Silkworm? Silkworms have male and female, and with only one Blood Silkworm, it’s impossible to reproduce.”

Qin Niu stared at the Second Master He and asked.

This Second Master He probably wasn’t as honest as he appeared on the surface.

“Indeed, my He Family only has one Blood Silkworm. It was fortunate enough that our ancestors obtained this silkworm. If there were a pair, we wouldn’t have needed to keep this one continuously slumbering inside the Cold Jade Insect Coffin. If I’m not mistaken, our family ancestor probably wanted to wait until we found another Blood Silkworm before letting this one awaken and break out of the cocoon.”

A small box like a shrine, entirely made of cold jade.

You could hardly feel the slightest chill from the outside.

It was all sealed inside by that glazed cover.

So, this item was known as the Cold Jade Insect Coffin; this was certainly enlightening.

The analysis by Second Master He was reasonable, and Qin Niu was inclined to believe it to some extent.

“What use is the blood armor?”

He inquired of Second Master He.

“As to the specific uses, I’m not entirely sure. I only know that the blood armor is very beneficial for those with severe burn injuries. Even if the skin from their entire body was burnt off, as long as they don the blood armor, they could regrow new skin. Without the blood armor, someone with severe burns, even if they do not die, would inevitably be disfigured.”

In fact, if burn injuries cover more than 30% of the body, there would be a significant risk to life.

The effects of the blood armor must be more than just helping burn victims grow new skin.

Otherwise, people would not regard the Blood Silkworm and blood armor as treasures.

Qin Niu unceremoniously took out the Cold Jade Insect Coffin, after examining it for a moment, he placed it into the basket on his back.

Second Master He watched this scene, but there was no displeasure on his face; on the contrary, it was as if he had expected it.

The more he acted like this, the more dangerous Qin Niu found him.

However, Qin Niu still had use for Second Master He, so naturally, he did not show any sign of his thoughts.

After obtaining the Blood Silkworm’s cocoon, Qin Niu picked up the scroll of the cultivation technique.

Dragon Elephant Skill.

Just three simple words, yet they exuded an overwhelming authority.

Generally, cultivation techniques starting with the word ‘Dragon’, unless they were ‘knockoffs’, would not be bad.

The He Family, relying on this technique, cultivated four strong practitioners of the Innate Realm, which was enough to prove the extraordinary nature of this technique.

Qin Niu casually flipped through it, finding its content esoteric and profound, belonging to the category of superior cultivation techniques.

It should be of similar grade to the Dragon Chant Skill for which that noble son spent five thousand silver money in the Supreme Sea.

Back then, Qin Niu had thought that a cultivation technique costing five thousand silver money was something he could only look up to in his lifetime.

Now, as his own strength had improved and he had crushed the He Family to obtain this technique, he was not particularly excited about it.

It was just so-so.

Moreover, he had already cultivated the Everlasting Spring Technique and the Medicine King Sutra, and simply had no capacity to learn a third cultivation technique.

It might be suitable for his two wives to cultivate, though.

After conducting a thorough search of the secret chamber and finding nothing else of value, Qin Niu had no choice but to give up.

“Second Master He, follow me to Black Tiger City. After dawn, transfer all of your He Family’s property and land to your name.”
