This way, her physical defenses will also be enhanced, so she will absolutely not hand over the Poison Heart Silkworm.

"It seems that in the Queen's heart, the Poisonous Silkworm is more important than her own life," Ruan Xiyan said, enunciating each word clearly.

“Human woman, I have lived longer than you can imagine. To me, you are just a little baby.”

"Don't try to threaten me with your life or death. You don't know my temperament. I would rather die than be coerced by you."

"I can see that you value the Poison Heart Silkworm, but the Poison Heart Silkworm is also very important to me. At worst, we'll both perish, and neither of us will get it."

The Queen Insect's eyes were stubborn, seemingly disregarding death; if she was unhappy, she would never let others be happy either.

"The Queen of Insects, who rules the entire Insect race, is the most intelligent. I believe none of us would want to see a situation where we all perish together unless it's the very last resort," Ruan Xiyan said calmly.

"Queen, don't rush to refuse. Why don't you take a look at the conditions I'm offering before making a decision?" Ruan Xiyan removed the Frostfall Sword from the Queen's neck to show her sincerity.

The Queen Insect snorted coldly, "I'd like to see what good stuff you can come up with."

She didn't believe a human could offer her anything more helpful than the Poison Heart Silkworm.

Ruan Xiyan took out a bottle of poison from her spatial storage. This was a poison that Wanwan had previously refined using the toxins from her body of ten thousand poisons, which she kept for Wanwan's self-defense.

The queen insect needs the poisonous silkworm, probably to use its toxins to enhance the potency of her own venom.

If it's just a poison, perhaps a poison made from the toxins of a body with a body prone to all poisons would be more suitable.

The queen insect cautiously took the vial of poison, raised her hand and opened the cap, and the toxins of the Myriad Poisons Body spilled out.

"Such pure toxin!" the Queen of Insects exclaimed in surprise.

The poison in this bottle was indeed more appealing to her than the Poison Heart Silkworm; the toxins inside would be far more helpful to her than the Poison Heart Silkworm itself.

With the toxin in this bottle, she was 100% confident that the power of her venom would reach a new level during her next breakthrough.

"What kind of toxin is this?"

"The toxins of the Body of Ten Thousand Poisons," Ruan Xiyan replied.

"Humans are afflicted by a myriad of poisons," the Insect Queen murmured to herself, having heard of the human's afflicted by a myriad of poisons.

The toxins of the Myriad Poisons Body are the most domineering toxins in the world, but she has always lived in the Dan Realm and has never truly seen them.

As the queen of the Zerg, she possesses innate venomous attacks and can absorb toxins to enhance her power; the allure of the toxins in her body is simply too great.

"Where did you get the poison?" the Insect Queen asked, a greedy thought rising in her mind. If she could obtain the Body of Ten Thousand Poisons, she wouldn't have to worry about increasing her physical attack power as well.

In that case, she will have no weaknesses.

"No comment." Ruan Xiyan said coldly, "Will the Queen accept this deal—exchanging this vial of poison for the Poison Heart Silkworm?"

Seeing Ruan Xiyan's appearance, the Insect Queen knew that she wouldn't be able to get anything out of her.

"Do it." The Queen of Insects reluctantly agreed. This kind of poison was rare and hard to come by, and she didn't want to miss it.

The Queen of Insects raised her palm, gathering power in her hand, and a white-gray silkworm appeared in her palm.

"You hand over the poison in one hand, and I'll hand over the poisonous silkworm in the other." The Queen Insect's eyes were fixed on the bottle of poison that Ruan Xiyan was holding.

"Can."

They simultaneously threw what they were holding to the other side.

Ruan Xiyan wrapped her palm with spiritual power and caught the flying Poison Heart Silkworm.

After carefully checking that the Poisonous Heart Silkworm was indeed genuine, she put it into the Beast Suppression Tower.

Ruan Xiyan looked at the Queen Insect, "Now that the transaction is complete, I'll take my leave."

Ruan Xiyan turned to leave, but the Insect Queen suddenly spoke, stopping her, "Human woman, don't rush off."

Ruan Xiyan stopped in her tracks. "What else is there? Didn't you have enough fighting earlier? Do you want to fight again?"

"You are so beautiful, how come you have such a bad temper? It's only because I have a good temper that I don't hold it against you." The Queen of Insects crossed her arms.

She was no match for this human at all, and continuing the fight would do her no good; she wouldn't do anything that wouldn't benefit her.

"I would like to make another deal with you," the Insect Queen said slowly, looking at Ruan Xiyan.

"Those who can enter the Dan realm are all alchemists, and you are probably no exception. The thing that alchemists dream of most is to become an Emperor-grade alchemist and refine top-grade pills."

"There are imperial-level alchemists who have left behind their legacy in the Dan Realm. Among those who enter the Dan Realm, there are many alchemists who come to collect rare spiritual herbs."

"But most alchemists are after the inheritance of the Emperor-grade alchemist. No alchemist can resist such a great temptation, and I believe you are no exception."

"However, the place of inheritance of that Emperor-grade alchemist is not so easy to find. Many alchemists have returned empty-handed, but I happen to know the location of that place of inheritance."

"You must have more than just this one bottle of poison. If you give me ten more, I will tell you the location of that inheritance site," the Queen of Insects said greedily.

This poison is so potent that the more the better; the more you get, the more powerful her venom will be.

"Ten bottles?" Ruan Xiyan sneered. "You really are asking for the moon."

"I can't afford that much, so let's not do this deal. As for that place of inheritance, let's leave it to fate. If we find it, we will; if we don't, it's no big deal."

"Hey, hey, hey! That's the inheritance of an Emperor-grade alchemist! How come you, as an alchemist, have no ambition at all?" The Insect Queen looked at Ruan Xiyan's Buddhist-like demeanor with exasperation.

All alchemists are obsessed with becoming Emperor-grade alchemists, so why do they act so nonchalantly in front of this little girl?

"Eight bottles of poison, surely you can produce that?" the Queen of Insects said, settling for second best.

"Five bottles!" Ruan Xiyan bargained.

Although she still had a lot of poison, it was all left to her by Wanwan.

It wasn't easy for Wanwan to make these poisons; they didn't just appear out of thin air. She wanted to save as much as possible and didn't want to let the Queen of Insects benefit from them.

"Eight bottles, not one less," the Queen Insect insisted.

“Four bottles,” Ruan Xiyan said calmly.

"Why are you saying you're giving less and less?" the Queen said anxiously. "Seven vials of poison, that's the most I can give."

“Three bottles.” Ruan Xiyan looked at the Queen Insect. “If you don’t agree, you won’t even get these three bottles.”

Ruan Xiyan looked at the hesitant queen insect and then walked away.

"Wait." As expected, the Queen Insect finally couldn't help but speak up when Ruan Xiyan took a step forward.

The queen insect gritted her teeth, "Three bottles it is!"

Upon hearing the Queen of Insects' words, Ruan Xiyan, who had her back to the Queen of Insects, smiled slightly.
