Mu Chengzong walked over and picked up the small stone box.
"Is this baby?"
Xu Yuan smiled and shook his head, "The real treasure is this!"
He picked up the dark egg-sized ball on the ground.
Then squeeze it hard.
"Bata!"
The small round ball split open, and inside, there was a plump little insect that looked like a silkworm.
However, the surface of the body is not white, but has circles of golden lines.
"What's this?"
Mu Ziying also came over curiously and asked.
Mu Chengzong stared at the small silkworm-like insect with golden lines on Xu Yuan's hand, and his breathing became rapid.
The words in his mouth became unsound.
"This, this is...the Earth Spirit Insect!"
"What are earth spirit insects?"
Mu Ziying asked with a puzzled look.
Xu Yuan smiled and nodded, "Uncle Mu is indeed well-informed. This is indeed an Earth Spirit Insect!"
Mu Chengzong's face was already full of excitement.
"It turns out to be...really an earth spirit insect!"
He observed the insect carefully, and after a while, he said to Mu Ziying, "Girl, I don't know if you still remember, the time when the old injury in my body recurred was the most serious..."
Mu Ziying nodded, "Of course I remember, at that time your whole body was swollen and you were breathless.
If Mr. Dan Qiuzi hadn't found ancient recipes to treat you, maybe you..."
"You're right!"
Mu Chengzong said, "But do you know what the ancient recipe Dan Qiuzi found for me is?"
Mu Ziying was so smart. She rolled her eyes and pointed at the earth spirit insect in front of her.
"Is this it?"
Mu Chengzong smiled, "Silly girl, let me tell you.
If Dan Qiuzi had found this Earth Spirit Insect, as long as I had taken it at that time, my injuries would have healed immediately, and there would be no need to delay it until later.
Let Xu Yuan take action to cure me..."
"What is that..."
Mu Ziying asked.
Mu Chengzong took a deep breath, "It's a small piece of feces from this earth spirit insect!"
"this……"
Not only Mu Ziying, but also Xu Yuan was stunned.
Mu Chengzong continued, "At that time, I had already stepped into the gate of hell with one foot.
It was Dan Qiuzi who spent a full 10 million to buy a small piece of earth spirit insect feces on the underground black market.
Moreover, by using feces as medicine, I can save my life, and I can hope to persist until you find Xu Yuan to treat me!"
"You know, a small piece of excrement from the earth spirit worm can still have such miraculous effects, let alone such a complete earth spirit insect now?"
Mu Ziying asked, "Then why didn't senior Dan Qiuzi buy you earth spirit insects?
Since this thing can cure your disease..."
Mu Chengzong smiled.
"Girl, do you know how much an earth spirit insect can be sold for in the market now?"
Without waiting for Mu Ziying to reply, Mu Chengzong said, "The market price is 100 million!"
"Furthermore, because Earth Spirit Insects are extremely rare and hard to come by, on the black market, the price can even rise by tens of millions, reaching 150 million.
But even so, many people still can't buy it, and in the end they have to settle for the next best thing, bamboo spirit insects.
Bamboo spirit insects also have such miraculous healing effects, but compared to earth spirit insects, they are far inferior..."
When Xu Yuan had just received the inheritance from his ancestors, he accidentally got a bamboo spirit insect when he went to the medicine market to buy medicine for his father.
At that time, he gave it to Hua Liuli for auction, and got more than 60 million yuan.
The role and efficacy of bamboo worms is that the more serious the injury, the better the treatment effect. Critically ill patients can even be forcibly hung up with bamboo worms to survive for many days.
Even if people are not sick or injured, eating it can have the effect of strengthening their bodies and prolonging their lives.
But this Earth Spirit Insect can be regarded as an upgraded and enhanced version of the Bamboo Spirit Insect. It is far superior to the Bamboo Spirit Insect in terms of effectiveness and other aspects.
Xu Yuan himself did not expect that he could actually see such a good thing in the belly of this corpse figurine.
Mu Chengzong sighed.
"Now that I can dig out an Earth Spirit Insect, I can make up for some of the losses!"
Xu Yuan smiled and shook his head.
"Uncle Mu, there is more than one spirit insect here!"
After saying that, he walked to the corpse figurines nearby.
He smashed the belly of the corpse figurine and took out a dark sphere, but there was no small stone box.
Mu Chengzong was so excited that he couldn't breathe.
He grabbed Xu Yuan's arm.
"Xu Yuan, you...are you saying that among these forty-nine corpses, there are all earth spirit insects?"
Xu Yuan nodded, then shook his head.
Among these forty-nine corpse figurines, there are indeed earth spirit insects.
When he just observed these corpse figurines with his divine eyes, he had already clearly seen them.
However, the black balls in the stomachs of some of the corpse figurines were broken, and the earth spirit insects inside also died and rotted.
Nowadays, we can still find complete and live earth spirit insects, and there should be more than half of them.
See Xu Yuan’s reply.
Mu Chengzong couldn't bear it anymore.
Regardless of the disgusting look of the corpse figurine, he also found a steel drill from the side and quickly started searching.
Half an hour later.
A total of thirty earth spirit insects were dug out.
Mu Chengzong was so happy that he almost went crazy.
"If we sell all thirty earth spirit insects, we can earn at least five billion.
And we spent more than 3 billion to buy this land.
This has just begun, and we have already made a net profit of more than one billion!"
Mu Chengzong shouted loudly.
Mu Ziying also cried with joy.
I hugged Xu Yuan and didn't want to let go for a long time.
All of this was discovered by Xu Yuan.
"Xu Yuan, thank you..."
Mu Ziying lay in Xu Yuan's arms, feeling extremely at ease.
Mu Chengzong found someone to dispose of all the fragments of the corpse figurine.
Then he looked at Xu Yuan and said, "By the way, Xu Yuan, how do you know there are earth spirit insects in the stomachs of these corpse figurines?"
Mu Ziying also looked at Xu Yuan curiously.
Xu Yuan had already thought of his words, so he would not tell anyone about his magical eyes.
"I practice medicine myself, and the earth spirit insect is a rare miracle medicine. I have seen some methods of distinguishing it in ancient books.
And just now when I saw these corpse figurines, I just thought of this..."
Mu Chengzong did not go into details, nodded, and patted Xu Yuan heavily on the shoulder.
"Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan, you are really my good son-in-law, the lucky star of my Mu family. If it weren't for you today, my Mu family would be in ruins!"
Xu Yuan smiled, but his brows furrowed.
Mu Chengzong saw this and asked, "What's wrong? Are there any other questions?"
Xu Yuan nodded.
"According to ancient records, the conditions for the emergence and growth of this kind of earth spirit insect are extremely harsh, and there is no precedent for its appearance in the stomach of a corpse.
How come there are so many earth spirit insects in the stomachs of these seven or forty-nine corpse figurines?"
Mu Chengzong also frowned.
At this time.
Mu Ziying on the side was playing with the small stone box that she had pulled out from the belly of the corpse figurine earlier.
Suddenly, he lost his grip and fell to the ground.
"Crack!"
The small stone box shattered into pieces, and a thin piece of oil paper stacked on top of each other rolled out.
"What's this?"
Mu Ziying picked up the oil paper.
Xu Yuan took it and slowly unfolded it. There were writings on it.
After reading it, Xu Yuan was silent for a long time.
After a while, he sighed, "What a strange person.
I didn’t expect that these seven or forty-nine corpse figurines would appear like this and have such wonderful uses. It’s really eye-opening..."
