Chapter 352 A Few Bites
"I'm a little disappointed that I missed out on the shoreless grass..."

Chen Xiu's words immediately made Kong Shan's heart sink, and the smiles of the others who still had expectations froze on their faces.

"However, I found a nest of dried Proterozoic insect eggs. They were very well preserved. I collected the whole nest. Look."

Chen Xiu wasn't just talking; when he got excited, he actually pulled out a whole bunch of... ugly things.

The eggs of the Proterozoan insect are produced when the mother insect leaves to forage after laying her eggs, but for some reason fails to return. As a result, the eggs die in the nest without nourishment and cannot hatch successfully.

These things can be treated with medicine, but not many people are actually willing to touch them because they are just too ugly and smelly!

Just now, as Chen Xiu took this thing out, those who were relatively close to him pinched their noses and backed away, looking like they were about to gag.

"Seriously? Someone actually wants this stuff? Are they so poor they can't afford to eat?" someone complained with a bitter face.

"Exactly, a whole nest is only worth two or three hundred crystals. Is it worth making the entire Qiankun bag stink for such a small amount of crystals?"

"They're obsessed with money, they want everything, ugh..."

It's one thing for something to smell bad, but this one is just outrageously smelly. If you put it in a Qiankun bag, everything inside will get tainted by the stench. This is one of the few items that can affect other things in a Qiankun bag.

Because of this characteristic, many people dare not touch it, much less collect it, even if they see it.

However, there is a group of cultivators who come specifically to search for Primordial Insect Eggs. They make a living from this and don't care about the stench.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Xiu actually accepted a nest of insect eggs and put them into his Qiankun bag without any hesitation, looking as if he had gotten a good deal when he brought them up.

This dispelled the doubts of the cultivators who had initially been skeptical of the two men's words.

They're overthinking it; these two wouldn't lie.

Judging from their pathetic appearance, they've clearly never seen anything like the world. Otherwise, why would they treat this trash as a treasure?

So that's all there is in the secret realm. Even if the people from the Immortal Sect are lucky, they'll only earn a few thousand crystals at most.

Moreover, with so many people working together, any good stuff will be shared equally among everyone. In the end, they might not even earn as much as individual cultivators!
Kongshan: ...

He was about to vomit blood, blood from regret.

The magical artifact he held wasn't worth much; it was just the lowest-grade item he had. But even if it wasn't good, it was still a high-grade artifact. What was he thinking, giving it away as a reward to these two rogue cultivators?
I'm afraid that all the things the two of them own combined wouldn't be worth the price of this one magical artifact.

I was so careless. I should have just given them something cheaper to get rid of them.

But in front of so many people, he couldn't really go back on his word, so he could only suppress his anger, throw the things away, and wave his hand to signal them to leave quickly.

Zhu Gengtian and Chen Xiu were so happy they almost jumped for joy. They hurriedly took the magical artifact and then quickly slipped away.

Xu Yihan breathed a sigh of relief, but feigned anger on his face. "Well, is there anything you're still worried about?"

Everyone exchanged glances, chuckled, and naturally said no.

"In that case, I will take my leave with my disciples. We await good news from the Hundred Gathering Alliance regarding the matter of Wuya Sect." After bowing to the crowd, Xu Yihan led his disciples away.

The people from other factions also left one after another. The people from the Hundred Alliance went forward to negotiate with the Wuya Sect and took Meng Ying and others away for investigation.

The events that occurred outside the Mo Xue Yuan Secret Realm that day quickly spread.

The Wuya Sect has finally revealed its true, ferocious side. And this time it's different from before; they've finally been caught red-handed and have been successfully targeted by the Hundred Alliance.

"This is wonderful! The Immortal Sect has rid our cultivation world of a great scourge!"

"Yes, Wuya Sect has offended countless people. This time we finally have a chance to punish them. The Hundred Alliance will definitely not give them a chance to escape."

"That's true, but it seems that Wuya Sect's wealth will be divided up by various forces."

"That's for sure, but it doesn't really concern us."

"Speaking of which, the Immortal Sect is quite powerful. They actually managed to wipe out all the members of the Black Cliff Sect who entered the secret realm. Their strength and courage are not something that ordinary sects can possess."

"More than that, Sect Leader Xu is also farsighted! Although this secret realm is not very wealthy, it is at least not very dangerous, making it an excellent training ground for their new disciples of the Immortal Sect."

"That's right. Their sect is just starting out, and there aren't many training grounds like the secret realm that are suitable for them. Besides, there are people from the Black Cliff Sect going there to get themselves killed, haha."

That's right! The disciples of the Immortal Sect need training, and then the disciples of the Black Cliff Sect rush over to be their sparring partners. If you miss such an opportunity, it's really hard to find a second one!
However, some people suspect that the Immortal Sect might be lying.

"Is that secret realm really not wealthy? I have a feeling this is a bit strange. If it were really poor, would it have alarmed both the Wuya Sect and the Xianlai Sect to go there at the same time?"

The news that Kongshan had publicly asked the two rogue cultivators whether the secret realm was rich or poor had already spread. Most people still believed that the secret realm was ordinary, but those who were observant still noticed something unusual.

At the time, the Hundred Alliance had all said that this secret realm was dangerous and had few resources, which led almost everyone to want to avoid it.

But why did people from the Immortal Sect and the Black Cliff Sect go, and why did they send more people than each other?

No one gets up early for nothing; aren't they afraid their disciples will perish in the process?
Or perhaps they had already obtained some clues beforehand, and judged that this secret realm was either safe or contained valuable items, which is why they decided to send their disciples there?
However, the matter is now in the past, and there is no point in investigating the cause and effect; it would just be a waste of time.

But it still caused many people to beat their chests and regret why they hadn't gone into the secret realm back then.

Especially for independent practitioners.

Those wealthy members of the major sects naturally looked down on Zhu Gengtian and Chen Xiu's paltry sums, but independent cultivators would certainly appreciate them. Even if they only received a few hundred crystals, let alone several thousand, it would still be better than going to those sects.

Moreover, if you're lucky enough to find something valuable, the gains will be much more than just these.

Speaking of regret, the people who regret it the most on the entire continent are the disciples of the Immortal Sect who didn't go.

"I'm so angry! If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have stepped forward first, so I could have been one of the people going to the secret realm!"

"Yeah, why did I hesitate? In the blink of an eye, the opportunity was gone. Sigh!"
