Black Slave and the Strongest Black Slave

Ancient Fusang Immortal Tree!!!

When the Nine Tribulations Immortal Silkworm saw the mulberry leaf in Jiang Che's hand, her eyes turned green with greed!

With a swish, she appeared right in front of Jiang Che, staring intently at the leaf in his hand.

"Is... is this?"

As everyone knows, silkworms eat mulberry leaves. Even the noble Nine Tribulations Immortal Silkworm was no exception. Of course... ordinary mulberry leaves no longer held any attraction for her.

Therefore... an immortal silkworm needed immortal leaves to be tempted.

"The legendary... Fusang Tree?"

The woman couldn't hold back her composure. As a member of the Nine Tribulations Immortal Silkworm clan, a race ranked among the top ten of the myriad races in the Nine Heavens, she was born at the Martial God Realm!

They had to undergo nine great molting tribulations in total. The first molt brought them to the Nirvana Realm, the second to the Creation Realm, the third to the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and the fourth to the Great Emperor Realm. After the fifth molt, their combat prowess would be comparable to a One-Tribulation Immortal.

The sixth molt was equivalent to Two-Tribulations, followed by Three-Tribulations and Four-Tribulations!

The ninth molt would make them a Five-Tribulations Immortal Venerable!!!

Although she called herself a Nine Tribulations Immortal Silkworm, she was actually currently in her eighth molting phase, placing her at the peak of a Four-Tribulations Immortal Lord.

The reason she was so anxious and restless was that she couldn't see any hope; her ninth transformation was highly likely to fail!

And the Fusang Immortal Tree was the ancestral treasure of their immortal silkworm clan. Relying on this immortal tree... rumor had it that an immortal silkworm had once broken through the nine-tribulation limit and reached ten tribulations!

Which was the realm of an Immortal Emperor!

But according to legend, millions of years ago, their clan's ultimate treasure, the Fusang Tree, was snatched away by a mysterious and powerful Immortal Emperor. Since then... the immortal silkworm clan had completely declined.

"Where did you get this mulberry leaf?!!!"

"Hey, hey, hey," Jiang Che took two steps back. "Old woman, stay away from me!"

[Beep! The host has scammed the Heavenly Silkworm Immortal Venerable and gained 800 million points.]

Old woman... Jiang Che's words almost angered her to death.

But for the sake of the Fusang Tree's whereabouts, she decided to endure it!

"This mulberry leaf... where did you get it?"

"Oh, my master gave it to me. In fact, she gave me a whole Ancient Fusang Immortal Tree!"

Before Jiang Che even finished speaking, a look of horror appeared on the immortal silkworm's face.

Jiang Che's master? Immortal Fengmo?

Didn't that mean... the person who stole their immortal silkworm clan's supreme treasure tree millions of years ago was... Immortal Fengmo?

It made sense!

Throughout the entire Nine Heavens, there weren't many people capable of snatching the immortal tree right out of their immortal silkworm clan's hands.

"Young Master Jiang..."

The immortal silkworm was suddenly in a difficult position; she didn't know how to speak.

Even if she now knew that Jiang Che's master had stolen the immortal tree, she wouldn't dare lay a finger on Jiang Che!

"Let me ask you a question. If you spin silk with all your might... how fast can you do it?" Jiang Che suddenly asked.

The immortal silkworm froze for a moment, and then a sense of foreboding welled up in her heart.

Could this guy be thinking of...

"Never mind. As a Four-Tribulations Immortal Lord, as long as you are willing... you can definitely spin silk very fast."

After saying that, Jiang Che continued, seemingly talking to himself, "I won't make things difficult for you. For every immortal artifact garment like the one I am wearing that you make, I will give you 100 pounds of Fusang leaves. How about that?"

Nine Tribulations Immortal Silkworm: "......"

She felt an urge to curse at him, but after hearing the price Jiang Che offered... she swallowed the curse words right back down.

He was offering far too much!

As an immortal silkworm at the Four-Tribulations Immortal Lord realm, her silk-spinning speed was actually very fast. However, spinning silk required overdrawing her immortal Dao origin... which did her no good in her daily life, so she only occasionally spun a little to sell.

She understood that Jiang Che was treating her like a sweatshop laborer.

But Jiang Che was paying so much! The silk needed to weave one garment was at most one pound. Going all out, she could finish it in ten days, but it would overdraw a massive amount of her immortal Dao origin!

However, if she got 100 pounds of Fusang immortal leaves in return, it was absolutely a guaranteed profit.

"Tell me, how many pieces do you need?" the immortal silkworm said calmly.

"Furthermore, my immortal silkworm silk must be handed over to an Artifact Refining Immortal Venerable for processing. That Five-Tribulations Immortal Venerable has a very bad temper. If you go to him to refine immortal artifacts... he might not agree!"

Jiang Che just smiled and waved his hand. "He will agree. If he doesn't, my dear master will beat him until he does!"

Immortal silkworm: "......"

Just thinking about that unreasonable and tyrannical Immortal Emperor Fengmo gave her a headache.

"How many pieces?"

"Uh... around thirty pieces? No, that's not right... probably forty pieces! It is always good to prepare a few extra sets."

"H-how many? Forty pieces???"

The immortal silkworm couldn't hold back anymore. She had thought he would ask for five or six pieces at most. This guy opened his mouth and asked for forty pieces, which meant she had to spin forty to fifty pounds of immortal silkworm silk?

It was no exaggeration to say that this amount of immortal silkworm silk would completely drain her immortal Dao origin dry.

"What is wrong? You do not agree?"

"It is too much. Even if you give me more Fusang immortal leaves, I could not possibly do it."

"One final offer. For every pound of immortal silkworm silk, I will give you two hundred pounds of immortal mulberry leaves! That should not be too hard on you, right?"

"Ahem," the immortal silkworm coughed dryly. He actually doubled it just like that?

"Actually, now that I think about it, I feel like it is doable!"

Two hundred pounds of immortal mulberry leaves? This was absolutely a massive profit!

It was like someone asking you to carry sandbags at a construction site—carrying a hundred-pound sandbag up to the sixth floor, but paying you a million dollars for every bag you carried.

Jiang Che yawned, feeling quite bored. He actually preferred the arrogant look the Immortal Silkworm Ancestor had just a moment ago.

No matter what cultivation level a person was at, they would always be defeated by his superpower of wealth, which made things seem very dull and uninteresting.

"By the way, if you are willing to become my Dao Protector..."

"Young Master Jiang, I am a Four-Tribulations Immortal Lord. I have never heard of an Immortal Lord acting as someone's Dao Protector..."

"One thousand pounds of Fusang immortal leaves per month."

"I think I am perfectly suited to break this precedent!"

Jiang Che casually tossed over a spatial ring. "Here, this is the deposit."

The immortal silkworm took the ring, probed it with her immortal sense, and was immediately overjoyed.

Inside were exactly 500 pounds of Fusang immortal leaves. Truth be told, it was a bit shameful... but she had never even tasted mulberry leaves of the Fusang immortal leaf caliber before.

"Young Master Jiang! Ten days! Within ten days, I will definitely deliver forty pounds of immortal silkworm silk!"

With that, she instantly transformed into a tiny white silkworm, about the size of a finger, her entire body resembling immortal jade, and she even had six wings as thin as cicada wings.

...

After leaving the cave mansion of the Nine Tribulations Immortal Silkworm, Jiang Che went straight into his own Immortal Herb Garden.

At this time, the Immortal Herb Garden had been expanded by a full circle. In addition to the original four immortal herbs, there were now two more.

Among them, an ancient mulberry tree about a meter tall was very inconspicuous. Although this ancient mulberry tree was less than two meters high, every single branch was completely covered with mulberry leaves.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! You only have four hours left. Today I must pick exactly 400 pounds of mulberry leaves, or I will show you who is boss!"

Beneath the mulberry tree, a petite and cute young girl was holding a large bamboo basket, which was completely filled with mulberry leaves.

Yao Yao wore a haughty expression. Like a chaotic demon king, she was squeezing the entire Immortal Medicine Garden dry.
