Chapter 27 The Void Heavenly Demon Bee
After they finished speaking, everyone took the treasures off the shelf and placed them in the middle, discussing them in detail, with exclamations of amazement coming from time to time.
"This is the first time I've ever seen such a large Blood Soul Stone. If I take it back to Tianxing City, it can fetch at least tens of thousands of spirit stones."
The cultivator surnamed Xu's eyes lit up as he picked up the fist-sized Blood Soul Stone and marveled at it.
"This ancient treasure is incredibly powerful..."
"Could this be the Haoyang Pill? With this pill, we can greatly reduce the obstacles to breaking through the bottleneck of Core Formation. The method of refining it has long been lost in the Chaotic Star Sea."
After a short while, everyone took stock of all the items and roughly understood their value.
It contains three ancient treasures, five magical artifacts, several rare materials, and elixirs.
What everyone wanted most was naturally the Haoyang Pill, which could help break through the bottleneck of Core Formation. Probably no one present would be willing to give up this pill.
Fortunately, two of the bottles contained Haoyang Pills, a total of five pills. Each of the five of them could get one, so there was no need to worry.
Mo Wu first distributed the Haoyang Pills to everyone, which immediately made the atmosphere much more harmonious. Then they discussed the distribution of the remaining treasures.
Apart from the Haoyang Pill, everyone's eyes were fixed on the three ancient treasures.
After all, this ancient treasure can unleash its full power without needing to be refined.
Moreover, judging from these ruins, it must undoubtedly be the cave dwelling of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Even if they are just casually placed on a shelf and not carried around, they still have immense power to these Core Formation cultivators.
As for the magical artifacts, they could only unleash 70% of their power, so they weren't very attractive to the crowd.
After her argument with the Jin-surnamed cultivator, Shi Jing knew they wouldn't let her choose the last precious treasure. So she looked at Wen Tianren and said, "Brother Jiang, please choose first. I've taken a liking to that ancient brocade handkerchief. If you don't like it, I'll take it."
The handkerchief was entirely purple, with a shimmering, water-like sheen. It was clearly an ancient treasure used to trap and subdue enemies, which explained why Shi Jing had taken a liking to it.
Wen Tianren nodded slightly, his expression calm: "Yes, please go ahead, Fairy. I would like to choose this scroll."
"What?" Everyone was stunned.
Everyone was quite surprised to hear that Wen Tianren had not chosen the ancient treasures, nor even the remaining rare materials and pills, but instead chose that inconspicuous scroll.
They had just opened the scroll and looked at it; inside was a drawing of a giant with three heads, six arms, a golden body, and angry eyes.
The brushstrokes were simple and archaic, devoid of any spiritual energy fluctuations, and no one could discern anything from them even after examining them for a long time.
Now that Wen Tianren is choosing this painting instead of even choosing ancient treasures, could it be that he has discovered some mystery behind it?
However, they didn't ask, knowing that even if they did, Wen Tianren wouldn't tell the truth.
Besides, they had previously relied on Wen Tianren to break through the array restrictions, and he was the one who made the selection first. Even if there were any mysteries in this painting, it was none of their business.
In their hearts, even if these ancient treasures and elixirs were precious, their value should not be much different from these ancient treasures and elixirs.
However, Wen Tianren didn't actually see anything. On the contrary, when he used his Nascent Soul level divine sense to investigate, he was bounced back by the scroll, which surprised him greatly.
Upon seeing this three-headed, six-armed figure, he was reminded of another martial art, and thus decided to select this scroll.
As for those ancient treasures and magical artifacts, Wen Tianren had no shortage of them. He only cared about the Haoyang Pill and some rare materials.
Next, everyone finished distributing the remaining items.
The two ancient treasures were chosen by Mo Wu and the middle-aged scholar, one for each of them.
Wen Tianren chose the ancient alchemy cauldron in the hall, and the remaining materials and pills were divided into five portions.
To compensate Wen Tianren and the Jin-surnamed cultivator, Mo Wu specially gave the two most valuable portions to them.
After the distribution was completed, no one was dissatisfied, and everyone was content to continue exploring the ruins.
The fact that they had such a harvest so soon after entering the ruins made them even more curious about the ruins. They believed that it was at least the cave dwelling of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and they fantasized about whether there would be any Nascent Soul opportunities.
With that in mind, the group quickly ventured deeper into the ruins.
"Buzz—Buzz—"
Not long after they started exploring, a low and eerie buzzing sound suddenly rang in their ears.
This alerted everyone, and they used their divine senses to search for the source of the sound.
Almost simultaneously, several purple shadows shot out from the crevice in the rocks ahead—they were several flying insects with purplish-black bodies and translucent wing membranes!
They hovered in mid-air, their wings vibrating at a high frequency, and the buzzing they emitted directly interfered with divine sense, even shaking one's mind!
"What kind of spirit insect is this? It can actually interfere with our consciousness and mind! Everyone, quickly capture them!" Mo Wu shouted to the others when he saw that the insect could affect them.
In an instant, everyone unleashed beams of spiritual light, attacking the purple flying insects.
Unexpectedly, these purple flying insects flapped their wings and quickly dodged the attacks, moving so fast that they didn't even have time to react.
"What kind of spirit insect is this? Its speed is probably comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. And just now, could these flying insects use divine sense attacks? Even my divine sense was affected." Wen Tianren was also very surprised by this flying insect. With its divine sense, even cultivators of the same level could not be affected, let alone demonic beasts.
Wen Tianren secretly planned to capture these flying insects, hoping that he could cultivate them successfully.
Without hesitation, Wen Tianren summoned the Purple Cloud Banner. The banner spun around him, and a large amount of thick purple mist surged out, surrounding the flying insects like a tide.
Just when Wen Tianren thought that these purple flying insects were unable to escape and that he had already captured them, a sudden change occurred.
Under Wen Tianren's divine sense, he saw the two pairs of wing membranes on the backs of those flying insects suddenly vibrate at a high frequency, and visible spatial ripples appeared in the air!
The light distorted, the void trembled slightly, and they pierced straight through the purple mist as if through a thin veil.
The purple mist that had been trapping the enemy vanished as if it had never existed, and was easily passed through by these flying insects.
As soon as they emerged from the purple mist, before anyone could react, several flying insects caused spatial fluctuations around them and disappeared.
This scene stunned everyone present.
Shi Jing seemed still reeling from the scene, muttering, "What kind of spirit insects are these? They're terrifying. Luckily there were only a few, or it would have been troublesome."
At this moment, the Jin-surnamed cultivator beside him seemed to have thought of something.
He suddenly gasped, exclaiming in disbelief, "The Void Heaven Demon Bee! It must be the Void Heaven Demon Bee! I never imagined that such a spirit insect actually exists in the human realm."
"The Void Heaven Demon Bee?"
Upon hearing this, everyone, including Wen Tianren, turned to look at him.
"I almost forgot, Fellow Daoist Jin's clan is deeply rooted and knowledgeable, so he naturally recognizes this spirit insect. You all may not know this, but Fellow Daoist Jin is a junior member of Elder Jin Kui's clan in the Star Palace. Although he has not joined the Star Palace, he is highly regarded by the Elder." The middle-aged scholar revealed the identity of the cultivator surnamed Jin.
Wen Tianren thought to himself: No wonder he didn't care about Shi Jing's words earlier. It turns out he also has a background. He is a junior member of the clan of Jin Kui, the Grand Elder of the Star Palace, and is quite valued. With such a status, he doesn't need to fear Red Moon Island. Although Red Moon Island is strong, the Star Palace is the real behemoth in the Chaotic Star Sea.
"Since you know about this spirit insect, why don't you tell us about it so that we can also see it?" Shi Jing's attitude softened and his tone became much more polite.
The Jin-surnamed cultivator responded rather modestly, "It's hardly an honor. I'm just a member of a collateral branch of the clan. However, the Grand Elder takes good care of the Core Formation cultivators in the clan, allowing us to access the clan's classic texts."
Most of these are from the Star Palace, and the reason I recognize the Void Heaven Heart Demon Bee is because it is recorded in our clan's ancient texts.
Then the cultivator surnamed Jin began to introduce himself: "The Void Heaven Heart Demon Bee takes a very long time to grow. It is usually yellow and black, and all its supernatural powers rely on the deadly poison in its stinger. It takes a thousand years to transform into a purplish-black color."
At this time, its supernatural powers will also undergo a transformation. Two pairs of ethereal wings will appear on its back, which, when flapped, can not only release demonic sound waves to disrupt consciousness, but also possess spatial supernatural powers.
