Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Once the spirit Qi was absorbed by the jade slip, it glowed in a green light and continued to do so. It stayed like this for about three minutes, after which, Wang Xiong felt a transmission arriving.

"Oh? Is it finally here?" Wang Xiong said.

He checked the message and felt information pouring into his head.

"Ah!" he winced in pain.

The information pouring into his head was rather quick and harsh, thus gave him a headache. This was of course, accomplished by the backdoor that Lin Wu had placed on the man and thus it assisted in the transmission of information more efficiently.

After about five minutes, Wang Xiong could feel the pain fading away and what replaced it was the information that he needed.

——

Agitation jade: They are a special kind of jade made by combining normal jade with befuddling mind flower, Demesne Blood Cobra venom, and Vitrine Gourd water. After the Normal jade is steeped in a mixture of these substances for about a year, it will be converted to Agitating jade.

These let out waves of energy that were imperceptible to humans and only affect beasts. The beasts that come within the range of it will turn hostile and start attacking others. The effects of the Agitation jade are transient.

The effects will fade from time to time and stronger beasts may need exposure from more than just one Agitation jade to show any changes in behavior. There is also a secondary effect of the Agitation jade, which increases the strength of the beasts that come in contact with it.

——

Seeing the information sent by Lin Wu, Wang Xiong was shocked.

"Never thought I would see something like this…" Wang Xiong muttered to himself in surprise.

The materials need to make the Agitation jade were unfamiliar to him as well.

"Hmm, I know about the Befuddling Mind flower. Even the sect has a couple, I think. But the Demesne Blood Cobra Venom and Vitrine Gourd Water are two things I've never heard of." Wang Xiong said to himself.

He gazed at the Agitation jade for about five more minutes before thinking of something.

'If I want to find the culprits behind this, these ingredients could be the key. After all, these aren't easy to find ingredients… otherwise, I would have known about them already." Wang Xiong stated.

He thus put the Agitation jade in his spatial storage ring and walked out of his room. His destination was none other than the sect's grand library. If there was anything he was to find, it would be there.

It took him about twenty minutes to fly there as he kept on getting interrupted by other disciples, who stopped to greet him or bid him farewell. Wang Xiong couldn't really deny them the honor either as that was one of his duties already.

Upon reaching the Library, he simply flashed his identity token at the formation array and it let him inside. Once inside it. Wang Xiong made his way around the entire floor; his aim, information about beast materials.

If took him thirty minutes to sort through the books that were related to beast materials and he could not find anything about the Demesne Blood cobra.

"Hmm… I guess I'll try to search for the gourd in the herb section." Wang Xiong said as he switched his target.

This time, it took him over an hour to find the right book, but he truly did find out about it.

"Here it is, Vitrine Gourd Water…" Wang Xiong recited.

'Vitrine Gourd Water is the fluid obtained from the hollow interiors of Vitrine Gourds. These grow in the cold hills of the north and are a high grade spirit herb.'

"Huh, no wonder there are none of them here, they simply do not grow here." Wang Xiong muttered to himself.

Wang Xiong looked up more information and saw that it could be used in several different kinds of alchemical pills, but was mostly used as a catalyzing agent. He noted this in his mind and reckoned that whoever was behind it might have access from the north.

"This is not enough… even if this is something that can be found in the north, there is still a chance that someone else has obtained this from either a merchant or obtained it themselves before returning." Wang Xiong muttered to himself.

He knew that this information was not enough and thus he went to the next floor. He got the entry rather easily due to his identity token. There were also a lot more people here on the second floor.

The disciples took note of who had just appeared and were even curious about his reason for arrival. Wang Xiong paid no attention to them and focused on the task at hand. Thankfully, the disciples followed a mode of decorum and knew that it was very rude to disturb someone reading in the library.

Not to mention when they were of a high ranking identity such as that of Wang Xiong right now. The man had defeated multiple nascent soul realm elders when he broke through and the gossip of his feats was recited often.

Wang Xiong spent another hour searching here for information, but didn't really find anything that was useful for him.

"Hmm… it's not here either. Perhaps the next floor has it." Wang Xiong muttered to himself.

He made his way to the stairwell of the next floor under the observation of the others.

"Look! Senior Wang Xiong is heading to the third floor." Someone pointed out.

"Huh? The third floor? Isn't that only for the elders?" One of the junior disciples questioned.

~slap~

"You Dumbo," The junior disciple's companion slapped the back of his head upon hearing this friend say things like this.

"Senior Wang Xiong is the chief disciple of the sect, his status is the same as that of the elders right now and he can go wherever he wants to in the sect." The companion of the Junior disciple chided.
