"I'm not really qualified to ask you questions, but what if I produce this?"
Lu Henge said softly.
Meng Po and Di Xin looked at Lu Henge.
thing?
What is it?
Could it be that Lu Henge wanted to use the Heaven-Mending Stone and the Golden Cudgel to make the guardian spirit of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave speak?
But upon closer reflection...
Neither of these two things seems quite qualified.
After Lu Henge entered the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, he took out the Sky-Mending Stone and the Golden Cudgel, but the guardian spirit did not react at that time, which shows that the guardian spirit did not value these two items.
But aside from these two things, what else can Lu Henge offer?
The next second.
Lu Henge took out a piece of charred wood.
Indistinctly.
A faint smell of burning can be detected in the air.
The piece of wood looked ordinary, as if Lu Henge had just picked it up from the roadside, and no matter how he tried to probe it, it didn't react at all.
Di Xin was filled with doubt.
Meng Po, on the contrary, looked thoughtful, as if she had thought of something.
"Hey kid, what are you doing taking out a piece of wood?"
Di Xin asked in a low voice.
He even suspected that Lu Henge was insulting the intelligence of the guardian spirits of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave.
Immediately afterwards.
Something happened that puzzled Di Xin even more.
The guardian spirit that had been absent for so long suddenly appeared in the three's sight. The guardian spirit of the Ten Thousand Serpent Cave was naturally a serpent, but this serpent was a bit small, not as huge as they had imagined.
Di Xin gasped.
Good lad!
What is the origin of this piece of wood?
The guardian spirit quickly crawled to Lu Henge's side, stopping a few meters away. Its eyes were fixed on the charred piece of wood in Lu Henge's hand, with a faint excitement in them.
Lu Henge revealed a knowing smile.
He made the right bet!
Lu Henge also knew that this was the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes, and he needed to take out a treasure related to snakes in order to make the guardian spirit appear.
The golden cudgel has absolutely nothing to do with snakes.
The Sky-Mending Stone is indeed closely related to Nuwa, but the one in Lu Henge's possession has been engraved with his own name, becoming his personal item, and has nothing to do with Nuwa anymore.
so.
Lu Henge needed to check his storage ring.
Unexpected.
Lu Henge actually found something.
"Where did you find this?"
The guardian spirit calmed its excitement, and its tone of voice became much gentler than before, with less arrogance and disdain.
"It was a gift from someone."
Lu Henge answered truthfully.
The guardian spirit scoffed again: "Do you think I'm stupid? Someone would just give you something this precious."
Di Xin, standing to the side, was completely bewildered. He couldn't understand what Lu Henge and the guardian spirit were talking about.
At that very moment.
Meng Po's eyes lit up: "Lightning-struck wood!"
"In Taoism, it is considered one of the top materials for making magical artifacts. The older the lightning-struck wood is, the more precious it is. The lightning-struck wood in your hand is at least tens of thousands of years old."
This is great stuff!
This is really good stuff!
Even within Taoism, it's extremely rare to find a piece of lightning-struck wood that's tens of thousands of years old.
Moreover, the lightning-struck wood in Lu Henge's collection is entirely natural, without any trace of human intervention, which elevates its rarity to another level.
That's right.
The charred wood in Lu Henge's song is lightning-struck wood.
This piece of lightning-struck wood was a gift from Xiaoman to Lu Henge when he first entered Kunlun Ruins.
to be honest.
Lu Henge never knew what the lightning-struck wood was for.
Lu Henge did consider using lightning-struck wood to make some top-tier magical artifacts, but he wasn't very skilled at forging. After all, Lu Henge couldn't be proficient in everything, and there would always be some shortcomings.
That's why.
Lu Henge had always kept this piece of lightning-struck wood in his storage ring.
Over time.
Lu Henge had almost forgotten.
Until just now.
Lu Henge separated a wisp of his divine soul and entered his storage ring. After searching for a long time, he actually found the lightning-struck wood in a corner, and instantly thought of Xiaoman.
Xiaoman is a descendant of Nuwa, and naturally carries Nuwa's ancient bloodline in her veins. The guardian spirit of the Ten Thousand Serpent Cave doesn't give Lu Henge any face, so it can't possibly not give face to a descendant of Nuwa either.
As Lu Henge had predicted, things turned out exactly as he had.
The guardian spirit of the Serpent's Lair has appeared.
certainly.
What truly made the guardian spirit of the Serpent Cave value this piece of ten-thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood was not the wood itself.
While the ancient lightning-struck wood is indeed precious, it is of little use to snake-like creatures, who are not skilled at crafting magical artifacts. What truly makes the guardian spirit value the residual traces of the wild spirit on the lightning-struck wood.
The guardian spirit sensed the presence of Nuwa's descendant, so it appeared.
"If it wasn't a gift from someone else, then how do you think I obtained this piece of ancient lightning-struck wood?" Lu Henge countered.
This stumped the guardian spirit.
Much later.
The guardian spirit's voice was calm: "You have a good relationship with the descendants of Nuwa?"
Lu Henge shrugged: "Not really, but we definitely have a good relationship. We've spent some time together, and she's a nice person."
The guardian spirit was taken aback.
to be honest.
This was the first time she had ever heard someone describe the descendants of Nuwa in this way.
Others describe the descendants of Nuwa as incredibly powerful and mysterious, but Lu Henge simply says they are quite nice.
The simpler the description, the more complex the relationship.
It seems so.
Lu Henge had a close relationship with the descendants of Nuwa.
