LEGEND OF THE DEMON KING.
463. FAILED TRAP.
“How can grade 6 original material be problematic?” Tan Wen Hong scratched his nose as worry crept in his heart.
Frowning his nose, Gu Santong frowned and split the material in half with his finger.
A red worm was seen wriggling further into the material, but Gu Santong picked it up.
“What is this?” Gu Santong fixed his gaze on Tan Wen Hong.
Tan Wen Hong was shocked inside, but did not show it. If the boy finds out, he will be destroyed with a single flick!
Tan Wen Hong knew he could not admit it even in death. He should play plain, “Any, how can worms get into the material?”
“Yes, the ingredients are worldly treasures, so how can this majestic grade-6 material catch worms?”
Gu Santong looked at Tan Wen Hong from top to bottom. But it could only shake its head in the end as it did not detect any abnormalities.
He killed the insect and ate the herb, “Serah, anything is possible in this world! But be careful the next time you choose the ingredients. ”
Tan Wen Hong nodded, and lifted him out of there with a wet back.
How did this kid, without Discerning Field, find out about Bloodworm?
Fortunately the boy did not doubt him or he would die!
Recalling Li Jingtian's heavy injuries after a mere throw, Tan Wen Hong gulped as he flew away.
Yet Gu Santong was still sitting there on the cliff, chewing on groceries with a frown.
How can the material catch worms?
Whooshing sound!
Tan Wen Hong returned like a light to Li Jingtian. The latter is very eager to know the result, “Steward Tan Wen Hong, how?”
“Can't you know from my face?” Tan Wen Hong spoke gloomily.
Li Jingtian knew Tan Wen Hong was distressed, “You mean the boy used Discerning Field for the first time?”
“As it were!”
Tan Wen Hong shook his head and sighed, his brows furrowing constantly,
“And this is what worries me. Without using his soul to investigate,
how could he find the hidden worm? If I cannot understand this, any future efforts will be in vain!”
Li Jingtian was deep in thought as well. The four demons suddenly stopped shouting as they tried to muffle their laughter.
But the pain became too much and soon resumed their tenor symphony.
However, Tan Wen Hong did not care.
“Steward Tan Wen Hong, should we try with eggs?” Li Jingtian proposed, “We may not know what tricks he uses, either,
but even Discerning Field could not find the egg. I refuse to believe that she is different!”
Tan Wen Hong patted his thigh, “We will do it as you said Elder Li! But this time it will cost me dearly!”
Gritting his teeth, Tan Wen Hong's hands revealed three-foot-long red and white roots.
Li Jingtian shouted in shock, “Class 7 Material, Yin Yang Moon Fire Root!”
“True. This material is hot outside but cold inside. It is one of the few ingredients with yin and yang in harmony. Due to its rarity, even its value is higher than 8.” grade materials
Stuttering, Tan Wen Hong stroked the hot red root yet an ice-cold mustache with a bleeding heart,
“I got it when I was at the Drifting Flowers Edifice and could not bear the thought of using it in the competition.
However, I now use it to hold some worm eggs. When the boy drank it,
it was the same as eating the Spring Pill, accelerating the growth of worms! ”
Seeing him so reluctantly, Li Jingtian patted him on the shoulder, “Steward Tan Wen Hong, you know what they say, no one dares, nothing gets.
Think about it, a grade-7 material to exchange for an Invincible Scamp, no matter how you look at it, it is worth it. I'm sure you can see it with your cunning mind!”
Tan Wen Hong's gaze hardened and nodded, “Yes, this is not just a mere exchange but an awful lot!”
Tan Wen Hong stuffed the Bloodworm into his potion, then immediately put it back into the gourd.
Now the material is filled with Bloodworm eggs.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at the potion with hope and smiled, “Everything is on you now!”
“Good luck, Flight attendant Tan Wen Hong!” Li Jingtian cupped his hands.
Tan Wen Hong nodded and flew over to Gu Santong.
He was there in an instant.
Surprised, Gu Santong turned to Tan Wen Hong, “You're so fast, you know that? Those four fools have nothing for you! What did you find this time? Take her out..”
But he couldn't finish it because seeing the potion in Tan Wen Hong's hand made him stumble, “Class 7 material! You actually found a grade-7 material? ”
“Just lucky, I guess!” Tan Wen Hong nodded.
Gu Santong picked it up and drooled. He shed a tear, “Class 7 material, oh I have never had it in three centuries.
that yellow dress only knows how to starve me with bad grade 1 and 2 ingredients.
Gu Santong lamented his grief, while Tan Wen Hong nodded inwardly.
Now he knows who he's talking about. They were the guards of the Imperial Capital.
He also discovered another big secret. His cultivation did not depend on training, either,
or maybe very little training. Only eat ingredients that increase its strength.
Damn it, if I accept it, I will go broke before raising it!
On second thought,
I probably don't need to feed him because he's invincible. Yeah, no problem.
Then, suddenly, he thought of her.
The Imperial Family must have high-grade materials. However, over the past centuries they have only fed him grades 1 and 2.
Was it done intentionally to withstand the growth of this monster?
So the more power he had, the harder it was for the imperial family to control him!
Squinting his eyes, Tan Wen Hong realized Gu Santong was nothing like a rumor describing him as the strongest in the empire.
At least the imperial family seemed to have a way to control it.
Otherwise, there was no reason to stop his cultivation for so many years.
Tan Wen Hong took a deep breath. As of now, he was not sure if this conjecture was real or not,
but he also could not ignore it nor would he suffer at the hands of the imperial family someday.
The imperial family still had a use for them and they relied on the imperial family, but who said when all this could happen just like that?
Tan Wen Hong's eyes flashed coldly!
Eh?
Gu Santong suddenly frowned and shouted. He looked at the material and shook his head,
“This one is also suspicious. Why are all the ingredients you find so strange? ”
His heart pounding on his chest, Tan Wen Hong gulped, “Ha-ha-ha, what might be wrong?”
Gu Santong cut the material in half and pointed, “See that?”
Tan Wen Hong looked at the core of the material in shock.
Gu Santong broke it right where the Bloodworm laid its eggs. The middle of this 7th grade material is white
like the moon and let out a deep chill. But in this white color, there were some grayish dots, Blood Worm eggs.
The average man will definitely miss them even with supervision.
Even a Radiant Stage expert who searched for it with his soul could not find it – Li Jingtian gave evidence of it.
But this little monster actually did! Not just finding them, though,
but even accurately about the right place. Even Tan Wen Hong had to admire his prowess!
Wiping his brows, Tan Wen Hong narrowed his eyes and pretended, “Uh, what are you saying? I can't see anything!”
Gu Santong brandished his childish finger, “See these points, they don't match the material.
They are actually very similar to worms in the last ingredient. That must be the egg.”
Tan Wen Hong's heart sank and his legs almost gave up.
He looked like a mischievous brat who knew nothing, but his vision was spot on. He could even see the similarities between the egg and the Bloodworm!
Tan Wen Hong was gripped with fear.
If that kid blames me for the worms and the eggs, a single blow from him would break me!
But that was not the case when Gu Santong flicked the eggs from the ingredients and started chewing them.
He chews with a smile, “I can't blame you for this, like the material with worms in it.
How can I dispose of 7th class materials? I don't mind taking it, ha-ha-ha.”.
Gu Santong laughed out loud, and Tan Wen Hong felt his heart bleed.
Uhhhh! Not only did I lose a lot of money, but I couldn't get the kid either. I lost everything!
But just as he grieved over his loss, Gu Santong's words floated,
“Hey, you are really good at finding materials. So why not shorten the time? One material every two hours, material grade 7!”
Stumbling, Tan Wen Hong almost spurted blood. He had no one to blame but himself!
Giving the boy so much material ended with him admitting defeat. And instead of making it wrapped around the finger
Tan Wen Hong, that kid is asking for 7th grade materials by two hours!
Even he didn't have so much on hand …
