Chapter 1465 Windfall!
The cold wind poured into the sky spirit fountain made Xuan Fengnian shudder violently.
What followed was the feeling that was much more painful than Lingchi!
This is because the venom released by the natal insect is really terrifying, making his pain nerves hundreds of times more sensitive than before.
Not to mention that the natal insect bit a big hole on the top of his head, even if someone uses an embroidery needle and stabs it casually on him, it is almost equivalent to a thousand arrows piercing the heart for him.
The extremely severe pain made Xuan Fengnian faint instantly, but it was stimulating again and woke up instantly, and he was in great pain.
At this moment, the deadly insect had already opened its dark mouth and plunged into Xuan Fengnian's head and feasted.
Xuan Fengnian immediately died suddenly in extreme pain.
His skin color began to be visible to the naked eye, and his hair was quickly black and blue.
At the same time, blood was instantly gushing out of his seven orifices.
His body was kneeling in place and motionless, with a very miserable expression, as if he was kneeling down to repent for the innocent people who died in his hands.
Seeing that he was dead, Ye Chen snorted coldly and said, "It's more than death to do evil in this way!"
At this time, Mai Chengxing, who was beside him, said flatteringly: "Mr. Ye, since you can control his natal insect, you must subdue it, which will be of great use in the future!"
Ye Chen snorted coldly: "What's the use of this insect that specializes in human brains?"
Mai Chengxing hurriedly said, "Young Master Ye doesn't know that this life-threatening insect is a treasure that Xuan Fengnian has raised for at least 20 or 30 years. This thing has lived for twenty or 30 years and has already been able to do everything in heaven and earth. It can be regarded as a magic weapon that Xuan Fengnian has cultivated in his half life!"
Ye Chen sneered: "If I leave this ghost thing behind, would I also want to feed it to human brains?"
Mai Chengxing was speechless for a while and hesitated for a while before speaking: "I just feel that killing the insect like this is indeed a bit of a loss..."
Ye Chen said disdainfully: "I, Ye Chen, have not yet fallen to the point where I need to rely on this kind of thing to stay with you!"
As he said that, he held the thunder order in his hand and shouted: "Thunder come!"
Immediately afterwards, another thunder fell and instantly struck Xuan Fengnian's heavenly spirit cover.
In an instant, Xuan Fengnian, along with his natal insect, was struck into powder by lightning!
A strong wind blew, and the powder turned into Xuan Fengnian suddenly disappeared and completely dissipated in the air.
Mai Chengxing looked at all this in amazement and sighed in his heart: "Today, I really witnessed the miracle... This Young Master Ye is indeed a person with great supernatural powers! No wonder he has a way to make Lai Qinghua twenty years younger! With such great supernatural powers that can summon heavenly thunder, what is it that makes people rejuvenate?"
Ye Chen looked at Mai Chengxing at this time and said lightly: "You have made contributions to help me capture Xuan Fengnian, but you are sleek and over-self-interested. In addition, you have helped my enemies come to Jinling to find my whereabouts. Although they have made contributions, they are not enough to offset all the mistakes. So from now on, I will put you and Mike in house arrest in Jinling, and let you go after I deal with Su Chengfeng."
Mai Chengxing's expression was very bitter, but he knew very well that begging Ye Chen for mercy was useless, and showing loyalty to Ye Chen was useless.
This is because Ye Chen had a scale in his heart, but he had long determined that he would never change his own decisions because of others' begging for mercy or surrender.
The Xuanfengnian just now is the best example.
Therefore, my best choice now is to be obedient and let Ye Chen give up.
Although house arrest is painful, at least it can save your life.
If you cooperate well with Ye Chen in the future, you may have the chance to make up for your merits.
So he bowed down and said respectfully: "I have no objection to Mr. Ye's decision, and it is up to Mr. Ye to decide..."
Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since that's the case, then let me go back."
Mai Chengxing quickly agreed, but when he looked up, he suddenly exclaimed.
"Huh?! Could it be that Xuan Fengnian was struck by lightning from the relics?"
After hearing this, Ye Chen subconsciously looked at Xuan Fengnian where he was struck by lightning and saw a gray-brown thing on the ground as big as a duck egg.
He couldn't help but frown and said, "How can the relics be so big? I think they may be kidney stones?"
"Not quite right..." Mai Chengxing said, and involuntarily walked over and picked up the gray-brown thing.
He looked at it carefully for a moment and couldn't help but exclaim: "My God! This... this is actually ambergris!"
"Amberg?" Ye Chen frowned. He dragged Qin Gang to help find ambergris a few days ago, but he didn't expect that Xuan Fengnian had a piece on his body.
However, Ye Chen didn't care much.
Because ambergris is not rare.
Rich people can buy it at any time as long as they are willing to spend money.
Thinking back to the time when I met Yu Jinghai at the Zhenbao Pavilion auction, there was a Song Dynasty pine crane reflux incense burner in Zhenbao Pavilion. At that time, in order to make the pine crane reflux incense burner sell for a high price, the auctioneer specially provided it with two boxes of ambergris.
What Ye Chen needed to refine alchemy was ambergris for at least ten thousand years, and ordinary goods had no meaning at all.
So he said to Mai Chengxing: "This thing should be nothing strange. I don't know what Xuan Fengnian does with such a piece of stuff."
Mai Chengxing hurriedly said, "Young Master Ye, don't know that if it is ordinary ambergris, the overall quality is waxy, and this thing is relatively flammable. As long as it is dry ambergris, it can be burned with the fire point, but this part is a bit special."
As he said that, he continued: "After being struck by your thunder, even Xuan Fengnian's flesh and blood body turned into powder, but this ambergris can still be preserved intact. This shows that this ambergris has turned into a fossil!"
"It's become a fossil?!"
Ye Chen exclaimed, stepped forward, and asked, "Can you be sure this thing is really a fossil?"
Mai Chengxing handed the ambergris to Ye Chen and explained: "Young Master Ye, look at it yourself. This thing is now extremely hard, extremely dense, and is no longer a waxy object, but more like a stone. If it weren't for the relatively special texture, I might not have recognized that this is ambergris."
Ye Chen asked curiously: "Have you ever found fossils of ambergris before?"
Mai Chengxing hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, but that's abroad, and it was bought by the mysterious man at an extremely high price as soon as he came out."
Ye Chen asked him: "Do you have any research on ambergris?"
Mai Chengxing nodded and explained: "Ambergris has a strong medicinal effect, and it can help people eliminate distracting thoughts and completely relax. It is very suitable to use it to enter a meditation state. It is very helpful when deducing the Eucharist of the Book of Changes. Therefore, most Feng Shui masters are very fond of ambergris. Even if they are not rich, they should buy some plates containing ambergris. I usually prepare some, so I did some research."
As he said that, Mai Chengxing said again: "Most of the ambergris on the market are obtained by hunting sperm whales in the deep sea, but the ambergris obtained by these two channels will not last too long."
After a pause, Mai Chengxing continued: "It is said that some experts used to take ambergris for thousands of years or even more than ten thousand years as medicine."
"But this kind of thing is really rare. The only way to find it is to go to the bottom of the deep sea."
"This is because humans ten thousand years ago did not have the ability to kill sperm whales. At that time, sperm whales sank into the seabed after they died, forming whales falling. After the bones were gnawed by underwater creatures, ambergris would sleep on the seabed and buried in the mud and sand."
"However, finding an ambergris buried in the sea for more than ten thousand years is not much less difficult than finding a needle in the sea, so almost no one can do it. The ambergris fossils discovered before were said to have been melted into the rock layer tens of thousands of years ago because of geological movements, and it was not until a few years ago that the sunlight reappeared."
