I really became a king.

Chapter 260: Return Gifts Between Friends
It was a four-winged silkworm pupa, exactly the same as the one that was transformed from the fresh branch that killed Sheng Xin.

However, the aura in front of them was obviously more powerful. Even though they were very far away, Jiang Yi and the Lord of Hundred Ghosts still felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Probably because it had just metamorphosed, the four-winged silkworm pupa fluttered its wings tremblingly as it flew towards Jiang Yi and the others.

The speed was very slow, just like a bee collecting nectar among flowers, but Jiang Yi did not dare to look down on it.

Because he could clearly see that the four-winged silkworm pupa seemed to be flying slowly, but in fact it was not. Every time it flapped its wings, it was a flash.

But the flash distance is very small, only about one centimeter.

This should be the reason why it was not used to it yet, but the four-winged silkworm pupa adapted very quickly. When it was almost in front of Jiang Yi and the others, it could flash several meters away by flapping its wings once.

Moreover, it still carries the aura of the auspicious cloud. Once it completely absorbs the power of the auspicious cloud, it will surely make a qualitative leap.

Jiang Yi silently watched the four-winged silkworm pupa approaching at an increasingly faster speed. He was shocked on the surface, but secretly he was ready to use a substitute puppet.

Fierce beasts like this have unpredictable temperaments and might suddenly turn hostile. Although Jiang Yi felt that this possibility was unlikely, he still prepared for the worst.

The Venerable Hundred Ghosts looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong for Jiang Yi to give the auspicious cloud to the other party. The four-winged silkworm pupa in front of him was obviously more powerful than the white flesh worm before.

The four-winged silkworm pupa fluttered its wings and suddenly stopped more than ten meters away, because it was out of the range of the black water if it went any further.

Jiang Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how powerful the opponent was after being baptized by the calamity cloud, his range of activities was ultimately restricted by the black water.

The four-winged silkworm pupa made a rhythmic "buzzing" sound, as if expressing something. Then the white silk and black gas that blocked Jiang Yi and the other man disappeared, apparently completing the previous transaction.

Jiang Yi did not leave immediately, but smiled and said something that seemed a little puzzling to the Venerable Hundred Ghosts.

"We should be considered friends now, right?"

The four-winged silkworm pupa's flapping wings paused slightly, and then it swayed its body from side to side, as if savoring the meaning of this sentence.

Jiang Yi's words were actually half-joking, but he also had a sense of luck. After all, the other party was the overlord of this swamp. If they could really establish a friendship, there was no telling when he could come here to take refuge.

As for the four-winged silkworm pupa, it was flying around in thought because of Jiang Yi's casual words, and then one of its pairs of wings suddenly flapped strangely.

Then a stream of green light flew from a distance and landed directly in Jiang Yi's hands.

At the same time, the four-winged silkworm pupa made a "buzzing" sound. It was a wonderful feeling. Jiang Yi understood the meaning of the sound. It was a return gift between friends!

Looking down at the green fruit in his hand, Jiang Yi couldn't help but take a breath. This gift was too valuable. It was really generous. He was worthy of being the overlord who owned countless natural treasures in the Blackwater Swamp.

The Venerable Hundred Ghosts next to him stared at the fruit in Jiang Yi's hand motionlessly, with mixed feelings in his heart, and a storm of emotions rising.

He had searched for this exotic fruit from heaven and earth for most of his life but found nothing. He even doubted that there was no such exotic fruit in the world. But now it appeared right before his eyes.

What shocked him the most was that Jiang Yi obtained such a precious exotic fruit with just a few words.

Luck is a very mysterious thing, but it can also be very annoying. The scene before us is a living example of this.

"Is this the legendary foundation-building fruit?" Jiang Yi asked uncertainly. "Yes, it is the foundation-building fruit!" Venerable Baigui couldn't help swallowing.

It turned out to be the base-casting fruit. Jiang Yi was also dizzy from the sudden fall of the pie.

The Foundation Fruit, also known as the Foundation Fruit, is somewhat similar to the Ten Thousand Foundations Flower he had obtained before.

The difference is that the Wanji Flower is used to forge an incomparable profound foundation, while the Foundation Fruit is used to recast the foundation.

Whether it is a secular warrior or a hermit monk, it is inevitable that something will go wrong during their practice, thus causing damage to their foundation. This damage is basically irreparable and will accompany them throughout their lives.

Of course, except for those that are particularly serious, most of them are very minor and will not cause much follow-up impact. Therefore, most practitioners will not pay much attention to it.

However, for those whose spiritual foundations have been severely damaged, this foundation-building fruit is definitely a coveted treasure.

For example, the Venerable Hundred Ghosts in front of him lost a hundred years of life because of using the forbidden sacrificial technique. If he eats this Foundation-Forging Fruit, he can make up for all the lost life.

Not only can it replenish one's lifespan, but it can also completely cure other remaining hidden illnesses caused by the use of forbidden techniques.

This is also the reason why Venerable Baigui swallowed his saliva, because this fruit would give him more than a hundred years of life, how could he not be tempted.

Jiang Yi's practice has been going smoothly, and his martial arts foundation has not been damaged at all, so this foundation-building fruit is actually of no use to him.

However, anyone who obtains the Foundation-Building Fruit will regard it as a treasure. After all, no one can guarantee that there will not be any problems in future practice.

So after observing the foundation-building fruit, Jiang Yi threw it to the Hundred Ghosts Venerable beside him without any hesitation, and said to the four-winged silkworm pupa: "Where's mine?"

The meaning was very clear. This foundation-building fruit was for the Venerable Hundred Ghosts, and he himself had not received the return gift.

The four-winged silkworm pupa made another buzzing sound, as if complaining about Jiang Yi's greed. However, it was not angry, but instead showed an unprecedented sense of closeness.

Then the pair of wings flapped again, and a black jade-colored gourd flew out from the distance, with leaves still on it, and it seemed that it had just been picked.

After the black jade gourd flew behind it, the four-winged silkworm pupa gently stroked the gourd with its wings, opening the mouth of the gourd. Then a slender black dragon emerged from somewhere and drilled into the black jade gourd.

Seeing the long black dragon, Jiang Yi was a little afraid, because that was the black water of the swamp, and he could sense that the black water in the black jade gourd was obviously more powerful than the black water everywhere around him.

After sealing the gourd again, the four-winged silkworm pupa threw the black jade gourd to Jiang Yi, making a buzzing sound.

Jiang Yi understood what the other party meant. This was for him to use to guard his house, because he had just obtained a Sumeru Palace, and this gourd of black water could be used to protect the house.

Perhaps because it had just survived a thunder tribulation, the four-winged silkworm pupa looked a little tired. After making another "buzzing" sound, it flapped its wings and disappeared into the depths of the swamp.

"Does this mean I can come visit Blackwater Swamp again when I have time?"

The other party seemed to really regard him as a friend, but Jiang Yi also agreed that this friend was indeed worthy of close friendship.
