Moon Spirit Grass, named after its crescent-shaped blades, is rich in blood essence and has a hollow rhizome.
The Moon Spirit Grass in Yaowang Pavilion is two hundred years old and is considered a very precious herb.
However, under Tang Ming's observation, there were more than a dozen tiny insects lurking inside the rhizome of the Moon Spirit Grass, eating away at it.
It's not eating away at the leaves and roots of grass.
Instead, they are eating away at the medicinal properties of the Moon Spirit Grass! "The body is transparent, shaped like a silkworm, and as small as a flea. It swallows the essence of plants and trees, and is addicted to the aura of herbs. It is a soul-eating insect!"
Tang Ming's eyes sparkled.
At this moment, he even felt a sense of horror.
That's right.
Because these little bugs, even with his nature, felt a little scary.
Soul-devouring insects are extremely tenacious and extremely rare. Tang Ming had seen such insects in the fairy world in his previous life. The overwhelming number of soul-eating insects formed a violent wind.
Wherever you go.
The spiritual power was swallowed up and turned into deathly silence. Several immortal sects were devoured by the soul-eating insects and their sects were destroyed.
Even the powerful men at the Golden Immortal level tried to stop them, but they were all turned into mummies under the siege of the soul-eating insects! Later.
It was only after several immortal kings joined forces to drive the soul-eating insects to the far west and trapped them with formations that the crisis was resolved.
"How come soul-eating insects appear in the world?"
Tang Ming frowned and murmured: "These soul-eating insects are just the lowest level of soul-eating insects. There is not enough spiritual energy in the world for them to devour, so they have not evolved yet."
"However, soul-eating insects are not afraid of water and fire, and have a long lifespan. If they are allowed to grow slowly, there will probably be a shocking disaster in the secular world."
Low-level soul-eating insects look just like harmless silkworms.
When they have devoured enough aura essence, they will evolve and create a shell. Protected by this shell, it is difficult for Yuanying realm monks to break through their defenses.
If you continue to swallow spiritual energy and evolve, patterns will appear on the shell, making it difficult for monks in the Tribulation Realm to break through its defenses.
If it evolves again.
Soul-devouring insects will develop their own magical powers, become immune to spiritual attacks, and even swallow spiritual attacks. The stronger the attack they withstand, the stronger they will become.
Then continue to evolve, continue to evolve... This is the horror of the Soul-Eating Insects! "The origin of the Soul-Eating Insects has always been mysterious. It is said that this is an ancient insect group that has existed since the prehistoric period."
"The prehistoric era was shattered, and countless ancient cultivators of the human race and demon races fell. Only the soul-eating insects survived and turned into living fossils to seal themselves."
"Once the living fossils are excavated, the soul-eating insects will slowly wake up..." Tang Ming frowned. Under the perception of his soul, the silkworm babies huddled inside the rhizome of the Moon Spirit Grass and slowly devoured it.
Essence of spiritual energy.
On the inner wall of the rhizome, there are still more than a dozen unhatched eggs.
The descendant of the soul-eating insect! "The lowest level of the soul-eating insect, the unborn spiritual intelligence."
"Perhaps I can tame it, imprint it with the soul mark, and use it for my own use."
A thought flashed in Tang Ming's eyes.
Soul-devouring insects are extremely special. The soul-eating insects that appeared in the fairy world are all extremely evolved insects. At that time, there were also powerful immortal kings who wanted to tame them.
The evolved soul-eating insects can not only eat spiritual energy, but also souls and cannot be tamed.
It can only be sealed in the far west using formations.
Until now, the land in the far west is still a barren and forbidden land in the Dead Realm, where no one dares to set foot.
And this time.
A faint laugh came from behind: "Mr. Tang, are you interested in this Moon Spirit Grass?"
The person who spoke was an old man with white hair.
Cheng Kai, who had previously entertained Tang Ming, stood respectfully behind the old man.
Cheng Kai explained: "Mr. Tang, this is the master of Yaowang Pavilion, Mao Qingbai, the master of Mao Pavilion."
"Master of thatched pavilion."
Tang Ming nodded slightly and continued: "I am indeed somewhat interested in this Moon Spirit Grass. I also want the seven-star flower, nightshade, and purple angelica next to it."
He ordered a few more herbs.
There were no soul-eating worms inside these herbs, he was just using this to cover up the fact that he had found soul-eating worms.
"Okay, since Mr. Tang is interested, Yaowang Pavilion will naturally be satisfied."
Mao Qingbai smiled and nodded: "Cheng Kai, help Mr. Tang pack it."
Said.
He looked at Tang Ming again and said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, the medicinal properties of this Moon Spirit Grass may be somewhat incomplete. It is estimated that the rhizome was damaged due to improper picking techniques."
"Look, do you want us to get a new one from the warehouse for you?"
"No."
Tang Ming glanced at him and said calmly: "I only use it to refine the Spirit Gathering Pill. The medicinal properties of Moon Spirit Grass should not be too much, otherwise it will destroy the stability of other medicinal materials."
Gathering Spirit Pill! Mao Qingbai's eyes lit up: "Mr. Tang is really an alchemist?
I wonder which alchemy master you studied under?"
Tang Ming shook his head: "Without a master, I just practice blindly by myself."
"Sorry, I'm too old to talk."
Mao Qingbai smiled slightly and continued: "Since Mr. Tang doesn't want to talk, let's change the topic."
"According to Mr. Tang's request, we have prepared the 300-year-old Thunder Flower, as well as the 500-year-old Geranium, Tianzhu, Sanyuancao and Jinglong Vine. They are also all equipped."
"It's just..." "It's just that I have never heard of the Jade Soul Lotus and Blood Spirit Flower you mentioned."
He paused and then continued: "There are many common names for elixirs. Why don't you tell Mr. Tang the medicinal properties of these herbs? Maybe I can help find them."
Tang Ming glanced at him and sneered in his heart.
This man was obviously testing his identity, but it was exactly what he wanted.
"The Blood Spirit Flower has six-leaf petals, a low rhizome, and contains the power of strong qi and blood. When the petals are cut off, red flower juice will flow out, and the color is as bright as blood."
"And the Green Soul Lotus, which looks like an autumn lotus and is completely green, can enhance mental power and nourish the essence of the soul."
Hear Tang Ming's words.
Mao Qingbai's eyes sparkled.
These herbs are not available in Yaowang Pavilion, but are available in Yaowang Valley.
All of them are top-quality medicinal materials for refining high-grade elixirs! Tang Ming smiled lightly: "Master Mao Pavilion, does Yaowang Pavilion have these herbs?"
"Well... I'm really sorry, there are no medicinal materials Mr. Tang needs in Yaowang Pavilion."
Mao Qingbai apologized.
He is only in charge of the Medicine King Pavilion. As for the Blood Spirit Flower and the Jade Soul Spirit Lotus, they both belong to the Medicine King Valley and he is not qualified to call them.
"Okay, forget it if you don't have it."
Tang Ming nodded and said calmly: "Then please help me pack the rest of the medicinal materials."
"Mr. Tang, it's already packed."
Cheng Kai walked out with a smile and said, "You can take it away after you pay downstairs. In addition, we also provide door-to-door delivery."
"No, I can just take it away myself."
After Tang Ming finished speaking, he went straight downstairs, swiped his card and left with large and small bags.
After he leaves.
Cheng Kai walked up again: "Pavilion Master, is this person really an alchemist?"
"Yes, I am very familiar with various medicinal properties. Blood Spirit Flower and Jade Soul Spirit Lotus are top-notch rare herbs that ordinary people have never heard of."
"And the herbs he just named are also the main ingredients for refining the Spirit Gathering Pill."
Mao Qingbai's eyes flashed: "This man is definitely an alchemist."
