Emperor Xuanyuan was able to defeat Chi You largely because the great ancestor wove him soft armor made from the silk of the initial sericulture, which made a significant contribution to his victory.

Poisonous insects, snakes, and ants dared not approach Emperor Xuanyuan.

This was all because he was wearing inner armor woven from the silk of the initial sericulture.

The initial sericulture could be called the Ancestor of Insects, and its rank was very high.

After spinning its cocoon, it was at its most vulnerable. To avoid being preyed upon by natural enemies, it would put great effort into its cocoon, including allowing its own initial sericulture aura to attach to the cocoon.

Silk is actually obtained from the cocoon.

Thus, inner armor woven from the silk of the initial sericulture naturally carried its aura, enough to make all poisonous insects keep a respectful distance.

Qin Niu had come across snippets of the exalted reputation of the Blood Silkworm in his readings.

Some people had even specifically created the Blood Silkworm Divine Skill based on the unique characteristics of the Blood Silkworm.

The He Family, as a well-established and wealthy clan, indeed had profound resources.

They actually possessed a cocoon of the Blood Silkworm.

“Has your He Family raised only one Blood Silkworm? Silkworms have male and female, and with only one Blood Silkworm, it’s impossible to reproduce.”

Qin Niu stared at the Second Master He and asked.

This Second Master He probably wasn’t as honest as he appeared on the surface.

“Indeed, my He Family only has one Blood Silkworm. It was fortunate enough that our ancestors obtained this silkworm. If there were a pair, we wouldn’t have needed to keep this one continuously slumbering inside the Cold Jade Insect Coffin. If I’m not mistaken, our family ancestor probably wanted to wait until we found another Blood Silkworm before letting this one awaken and break out of the cocoon.”

A small box like a shrine, entirely made of cold jade.

You could hardly feel the slightest chill from the outside.

It was all sealed inside by that glazed cover.

So, this item was known as the Cold Jade Insect Coffin; this was certainly enlightening.

The analysis by Second Master He was reasonable, and Qin Niu was inclined to believe it to some extent.

“What use is the blood armor?”

He inquired of Second Master He.

“As to the specific uses, I’m not entirely sure. I only know that the blood armor is very beneficial for those with severe burn injuries. Even if the skin from their entire body was burnt off, as long as they don the blood armor, they could regrow new skin. Without the blood armor, someone with severe burns, even if they do not die, would inevitably be disfigured.”

In fact, if burn injuries cover more than 30% of the body, there would be a significant risk to life.

The effects of the blood armor must be more than just helping burn victims grow new skin.

Otherwise, people would not regard the Blood Silkworm and blood armor as treasures.

Qin Niu unceremoniously took out the Cold Jade Insect Coffin, after examining it for a moment, he placed it into the basket on his back.

Second Master He watched this scene, but there was no displeasure on his face; on the contrary, it was as if he had expected it.

The more he acted like this, the more dangerous Qin Niu found him.

However, Qin Niu still had use for Second Master He, so naturally, he did not show any sign of his thoughts.

After obtaining the Blood Silkworm’s cocoon, Qin Niu picked up the scroll of the cultivation technique.

Dragon Elephant Skill.

Just three simple words, yet they exuded an overwhelming authority.

Generally, cultivation techniques starting with the word ‘Dragon’, unless they were ‘knockoffs’, would not be bad.

The He Family, relying on this technique, cultivated four strong practitioners of the Innate Realm, which was enough to prove the extraordinary nature of this technique.

Qin Niu casually flipped through it, finding its content esoteric and profound, belonging to the category of superior cultivation techniques.

It should be of similar grade to the Dragon Chant Skill for which that noble son spent five thousand silver money in the Supreme Sea.

Back then, Qin Niu had thought that a cultivation technique costing five thousand silver money was something he could only look up to in his lifetime.

Now, as his own strength had improved and he had crushed the He Family to obtain this technique, he was not particularly excited about it.

It was just so-so.

Moreover, he had already cultivated the Everlasting Spring Technique and the Medicine King Sutra, and simply had no capacity to learn a third cultivation technique.

It might be suitable for his two wives to cultivate, though.

After conducting a thorough search of the secret chamber and finding nothing else of value, Qin Niu had no choice but to give up.

“Second Master He, follow me to Black Tiger City. After dawn, transfer all of your He Family’s property and land to your name.”

“This humble one is willing to serve Master Qin for life, without the need for any property.”

Second Master He said respectfully.

“If I tell you to take it, just take it, no need for so much nonsense,” Qin Niu glowered, scaring He Lao’er into not daring to say another word.

“All servants of the He Family listen, the He Family sought to kill Qin, leaving me no choice but to eradicate the entire family. I, Qin, may have won this life-and-death battle, but considering that the women and children of the He Family died only because they were implicated, I am willing to pay for their burial. For every person buried, be it man, woman, old, or young, I, Qin, will pay fifty coins.”

Qin Niu did not let the corpses of the vanquished He Family rot away, instead, he paid the servants of the He Family to bury the bodies.

Everyone looked at Qin Niu with eyes filled with extreme fear, no one daring to easily step forward for such money.

Though the price of fifty coins to bury a person was incredibly tempting.

Still, no one dared to take on the task.

“Master Qin’s word is as weighty as nine tripods, what he promises, he fulfills. My He Family bullied Master Qin first, time and again seeking to kill him. Now, having been dealt the calamity of extermination, our punishment is deserved. He Xin hereby earnestly pleads with you all to bury the young and old of the Qin Family, allowing them to rest in peace.”

He Lao’er stepped forward, bowing to the crowd.

Only then did some dare to take on the task.

“Just bury them on the hillside behind. I will stay here for one and a half hours, and within this period, all buried corpses will be counted.”

Having annihilated the He Family, Qin Niu acquired no fewer than six chests of gold and precious treasures.

At that moment, he took out a chest full of gold and silver, which, under the torchlight, had many eyes staring fixedly.

“Master Qin, may I ask, how many corpses can be placed in one grave?”

“You can, but you must ensure that the burial depth exceeds one foot three inches,” Qin Niu set a standard.

Burying these corpses served two purposes: one was to prevent the stench from rotting bodies.

The second was to give no chance for the authorities to investigate.

Destroying the bodies and eradicating the traces was essentially the idea.

It was only right for me to kill the experts of the Qin Family. But there is a saying, ‘calamity should not befall the family members.’

Now, having eradicated the entire He Family, over three hundred people – this was a great sin.

The authorities could not possibly ignore it.

Qin Niu relied on three points: one, the He Family had bullied him first and later even sought to kill him; two, he had the status of a first-class noble; three, as the Black Tiger Gang was in the midst of recruiting people while simultaneously facing two great enemies, the Nine Insect Gang and the Shennong Sect, they simply could not afford to be distracted.

It was very possible that Qin Niu’s extermination of the He Family would be glossed over.

These kinds of incidents were not common, but they still occurred.

The powerful families in the city would undoubtedly annihilate their enemy’s entire family without hesitation if an opportunity arose.

…

One and a half hours later, all the corpses of the He Family had been buried.

Qin Niu kept his word and paid the servants of the He Family sufficiently for their work.

Just as he was preparing to take He Lao’er and head for Black Tiger City, Fang Lian had already hurried over with two elders from the Fang Family.

“Master Qin, are you all right?” Fang Lian heaved a long sigh of relief upon seeing that Qin Niu was still alive.

In the future, if anything happened to the medicinal herbs of the Fang Family, they would need to call on Qin Niu for help. The older the herbs, the more delicate they were.

“Thank you, Young Master Fang, for coming to the rescue. I, Qin, was lucky, narrowly escaping with my life.”

Qin Niu was very grateful to see Young Master Fang coming to help in the middle of the night.

Even though he knew this was merely an exchange of interests, he still felt a deep sense of gratitude toward Fang Lian.

“It’s nothing serious. I could hear from your voice that you’re injured. I have some top-quality healing pills here, take this. You just need to take one at a time.”

Fang Lian casually tossed a dark red porcelain bottle his way.

Inside were three healing elixirs.

“I now owe Young Master Fang another favor!” Qin Niu did not say thank you this time, but straightforwardly acknowledged he owed Fang Lian a favor.

“Haha, just a bottle of healing elixirs, it’s nothing. But these pills are not easy to concoct, and if it were anyone else, Fang would really be reluctant to give them away,” Fang Lian laughed heartily, obviously very pleased with Qin Niu’s response.

“Now that Master Qin is unharmed, I shall take my leave first. Take care.”

Fang Lian nodded at Qin Niu and quickly left with the two Fang Family elders.

They arrived quickly and departed just as fast.

Now, in the midst of war, Fang Lian was serving in the military and had obviously taken time out of his duties to come here.

If he couldn’t return on time, it was easy for others to criticize him.

Qin Niu had wanted to ask Fang Lian how to handle the matter of massacring the entire He Family, but given Fang Lian’s attitude, it was clear he had no intention of dealing with such a troublesome matter.
