Covering the Sky: I, a mortal, ascended to the throne step by step.

Chapter 79 Azure Jade and Primordial Divine Silkworm

The huge debt of 1.6 million jin of raw materials.

It pressed down on Tuoba Chang's shoulders like a demonic mountain.

His eyes were completely bloodshot, as red as a beast's.

"Just one last piece—I still have a chance!"

Tuoba Chang bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto his hands.

The Crimson Gold Divine Hand erupted with dazzling blood light, yet Tuoba Chang exuded an air of utter desolation, as if his life force had been exhausted.

"He's gone mad, draining his life essence to unleash a forbidden technique from the Source King!"

An old monster exclaimed in surprise.

Tuoba Chang no longer cared about anything else.

He stumbled and rushed into the depths of the stone garden, his eyes fixed on the huge source stone shaped like a reclining ox, priced at 120,000 catties.

He pressed his hands onto the stone surface, and the blood-gold light seeped into them wildly. It took a full incense stick's time before he weakly withdrew his hands, his body swayed, and he almost fell over.

"That's it—this is it."

Tuoba Chang's voice was hoarse, but his eyes revealed a manic joy.

Li Xian narrowed his eyes.

The divine Daoist aura of the Immortal Cauldron is still interfering; we cannot delay any longer, lest things change.

A pair of purple-gold pupils quietly lit up deep within his eyes.

The Divine Eye of Origin is opened to its fullest extent, stripping away layers of illusion.

My gaze swept over it.

Suddenly, he stopped.

Hidden among several ancient vines, there lies a piece of ordinary stone, dark blue in color and shaped like a stone block.

Priced at 30,000 jin.

Just now, that stone pier—

It seemed to have moved very slightly.

A disguise of sacrificing a pawn to save the king.

Li Xian understood immediately.

The immortals and gods only sought to preserve themselves.

He deliberately let a trace of the stone's energy leak out in order to distract him.

That being the case.

Then I'll gladly accept it.

"I'll take this one."

Li Xian casually tossed out 30,000 jin of Yuan.

"Hahaha—Li Xian, you're dead!"

Upon seeing this, Tuoba Chang laughed maniacally: "A mere 30,000-jin piece of broken stone thinks it can beat me?"

He couldn't wait to start, and cleaved at the reclining ox stone.

The stone skin is peeling off.

A divine green light shot into the sky!

The entire sky was bathed in a vibrant green.

A strange divine jade, the size of a water vat, appeared before everyone's eyes.

Its entire body is emerald green like the blue sky, crystal clear, with interwoven patterns on its surface, radiating a life essence that makes people feel comfortable all over.

"The Divine Jade of the Nine Heavens!"

"Azure as the sky, teeming with life. It governs life, healing wounds, tempering the body, and nourishing the foundation of one's Dao."

"My God! It's huge!"

"This is an unparalleled sacred artifact used to forge legendary weapons!"

The entire venue erupted in cheers.

The elders were so excited that their beards trembled and their eyes turned green.

"Brother Tuoba, I'll offer 300,000 jin of Yuan!"

Kitahara Kinkasho was the first to speak.

"I'll offer 400,000!"

Xia Yiming couldn't sit still any longer.

Tuoba Chang's face turned deathly pale, yet he threw his head back and laughed wildly: "Did you hear that? Immortal Li! The Nine Heavens Azure Jade, a priceless treasure! What do you have to compare with me? You've lost! Your life, your source, are all mine!"

Li Xian looked at Tuoba Chang, who seemed to have gone mad, with the same gaze he would give a dead man.

"Young Master Mop, are you not very good at math?"

Li Xian's tone was so calm it was infuriating: "Although this piece of Nine Heavens Divine Jade is large, it is ultimately just a rough draft of a sacred weapon, and its value is at most 500,000 catties of Origin."

"The Sirius Divine Source I just extracted is also worth 500,000."

"In other words, if even a pound of pure source is extracted from this last stone, you will lose."

This statement came out.

The laughter abruptly stopped.

It felt like being choked.

The surrounding cultivators also realized what was happening.

Yes.

In Li Xian's hands.

We already have 500,000 jin of raw materials as our trump card!

Even if Tuoba Chang cuts out a rare and precious treasure, considering the total value, he still has no chance of winning.

"Impossible—your stone must be a worthless piece of rock!"

Tuoba Chang gritted his teeth and made a desperate gamble.

"Open your eyes and look carefully."

Li Xian stopped wasting words.

A precious light shone from his fingertips as he cut towards the bluestone.

"Click."

The stone skin cracked.

A blinding golden light, like the blazing sun, exploded in the sky above the stone garden!

A rich divine aura swept across the entire venue like a tsunami.

A golden crystal the size of a human head was revealed, which was yet another piece of divine source!

"Another divine source! At least 250,000 jin of pure source!"

"Incredible! Multiple divine sources have appeared!"

Tuoba Chang's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets, and a gurgling sound came from his throat.

"puff"

He coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell straight back, his body convulsing.

However, everyone's attention was no longer on him.

"Look! There's something in the divine source!"

Within the golden divine source, a golden creature, half a meter long, with two horns on its head and a body as smooth as the finest topaz, was sealed.

"Snap!"

Cracks appeared on the surface of the divine source, and then it shattered with a loud crash.

A golden light shot out like lightning.

It was so fast that even powerful beings could hardly see it.

"seal up!"

The old man from the Ji family stone archway was well prepared.

Immediately activate the array patterns of the top-tier stone garden; it's a perfect match for their expertise.

The golden light was blocked by the array patterns and spun around in mid-air.

impartial.

It landed right on Xia Yilin's head.

The entire room fell silent.

Only then did everyone see the true form of the golden light.

A small creature, half a meter long, with two horns on its head, resembles a small dragon, yet also has some characteristics of a silkworm.

now.

It was lying on the little nun's fair, bald head.

A pair of clear, large eyes curiously surveyed the surroundings.

Xia Yilin was startled by this sudden turn of events, but she did not sense any danger.

She blinked her big, dark eyes.

The little nun reached out and touched the little guy on her head.

"It's so soft."

A soft, sweet voice broke the silence.

The little golden creature squinted comfortably and rubbed against her palm.

Li Xian casually broke off a small piece of divine source fragment and tossed it in his hand.

"Whoosh!"

The golden creature instantly transformed into lightning, snatched the divine source from Li Xian's hand, flew back to Xia Yilin's head, and swallowed the divine source in two gulps, even letting out a satisfied burp.

"This—could this be the legendary Primordial Divine Silkworm?!"

The old man from the Ji family trembled.

Ancient Divine Silkworm.

A being who can transform nine times and is invincible, and whose ten transformations make him stand out from the past and present.

That's an unparalleled race that produced ancient emperors in the ancient times!

Even a juvenile possesses immeasurable value.

"boom!"

Void oscillation.

A middle-aged man dressed in a python robe stepped through the air, his imperial dragon aura overwhelming the entire area.

He was the imperial uncle of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"It truly is a divine silkworm!" The Great Xia Imperial Uncle's gaze burned with fervor as he turned to Li Xian. "Young friend Li, this creature is destined for our Great Xia. I am willing to offer 700,000 jin of pure essence to purchase this divine silkworm!"

700,000 jin of raw materials!

Cash on delivery.

The surrounding cultivators were green with envy.

Li Xian raised her hand slightly, indicating that they should wait.

He slowly walked up to Tuoba Chang, who was still coughing up blood, and looked down at him.

"Young Master Mop, a bet is a bet. That piece of Nine Heavens Azure Jade is mine."

Tuoba Chang trembled all over.

His eyes were filled with despair and resentment.

But under the watchful eyes of so many powerful figures, he was powerless to resist.

The Ji family steward directly handed over the Nine Heavens Azure Jade, which was the size of a water vat, to Li Xian.

"puff!"

Seeing the divine jade he had risked his life to cut fall into enemy hands, Tuoba Chang coughed up another mouthful of blood and fainted.

Li Xian took the divine jade into the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

Then he turned to look at the Imperial Uncle of Great Xia and Xia Yilin.

"Senior," Li Xian said calmly, yet his words were astounding, "I will not sell this divine silkworm."

The Great Xia Imperial Uncle frowned, about to raise the price.

Li Xian smiled.

He walked up to Xia Yilin.

The little nun tilted her head back.

The golden divine silkworm was still coiled on its head.

"Little sister, I borrowed some essence from you earlier, and I promised to pay you back with interest."

Li Xian gently rubbed her smooth head.

"This little bug is yours to keep as a pet."

The Great Xia Imperial Uncle was stunned.

Xia Yiming was stunned.

Even An Miaoyi and Ji Biyue showed expressions of disbelief.

The entire room fell silent.

700,000 jin of the Primordial Divine Silkworm from the source, just given away like that?!

"Give it to me?"

Xia Yilin's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Yes, it's yours."

Looking at the little nun's adorable appearance, Li Xian said calmly, "This thing eats too much; I can't afford to raise her."

"Brother Li, you are truly righteous!" Xia Yiming took a deep breath, solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute, "Our Great Xia Dynasty will remember this kindness. If Brother Li ever needs our assistance in the future, Great Xia will never refuse!"

The Great Xia Imperial Uncle nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation in his eyes—a fine son-in-law of Great Xia indeed.

Xia Yilin touched the silkworm on her head, her big eyes curving into crescents: "Really? Thank you, big brother! You're such a good person!"

Li Xian smiled slightly.

This is certainly not because he is generous.

The divine silkworm is a bottomless pit.

It requires a massive amount of divine energy to transform.

Li Xian himself is short of resources, so where would he get the resources to raise it?

Having one by your side is not only a burden, but it will also attract the attention of ancient royal families. More importantly, it is impossible to tame it.

Why not do a favor?

The Great Xia Dynasty is wealthy and powerful enough to afford it.

"Brother Li, what a spirit you have!"

A captivatingly alluring voice rang out.

Ji Biyue walked gracefully over and returned the white jade bottle that had been used as a wager.

"Brother Li's skills are divine; Biyue admires them greatly."

Ji Biyue's breath was as sweet as orchids, and her voice was charming.

Her shimmering eyes were filled with an undisguised desire to win him over.

"The moonlight is exceptionally beautiful tonight. I wonder if Brother Li has the time to visit Biyue Residence for a chat?"

"Let's do it another day."

Li Xian accepted the bet.

It was perfunctory and devoid of any emotion.

He was focused on getting through the challenges as soon as possible, and had no feelings involved.

Ji Biyue was not annoyed.

His eyes flickered, and his gaze fell on the location of Li Xian's sea of ​​suffering.

"Brother Li's piece of Nine Heavens Azure Jade is extremely rare."

She toned down her alluring demeanor, her tone becoming serious: "Brother Li, would you be willing to part with these two leaves of Enlightenment Tea? I, Biyue, am willing to exchange them."

"Oh?" Li Xian's eyes flickered slightly.

Enlightenment Tea.

"What shape?" Li Xian asked directly.

"One piece is shaped like a white tiger, and the other is shaped like a water droplet," Ji Biyue chuckled.

Li Xian felt much more at ease.

The White Tiger governs the killing and destruction of metal energy, corresponding to the spirit of the lungs.

The water droplet represents the source of water and corresponds to the spirit stored in the kidneys.

This is exactly the resource he urgently needs for cultivating in the Dao Palace Secret Realm.

"make a deal."

Li Xian did not hesitate.

He took out the Nine Heavens Azure Jade and threw it to Ji Biyue.

Although the Nine Heavens Azure Jade is precious, he doesn't know how to use it, and the materials used for proving one's Dao are too low-grade.

Enlightenment Tea.

Under normal circumstances, a single piece of land can be worth tens of thousands of kilograms.

If it aligns with the shape of one's own Great Dao, it can fetch an auction price of two to three hundred thousand catties of Origin.

White Tiger Form.

It perfectly matches the cultivation path of the Dao Palace.

The teardrop shape can be considered an embellishment, adding depth and richness.

Resources are only truly valuable when they are transformed into combat power.

Ji Biyue smiled radiantly and waved her hand, handing over two jade boxes.

Li Xian took it and scanned it with his divine sense, finding no errors.

He then put the two tea leaves of Enlightenment into the Sea of ​​Bitterness, feeling a slight joy in his heart.
