The mountain in front of us is covered with all kinds of trees, and every now and then you can see a plump spirit silkworm lying on the leaves, nibbling on the spirit leaves.

Long Ziyan's business is silkworm farming; she earns Cultivation Resources by selling various types of silk.

Therefore, she needed a mountain peak suitable for planting many trees to build her cave abode, and the area also had to be large enough.

Such mountains are not easy to find, so the mountain she chose to open her cultivation cave abode was not the one closest to her Lineage.

After looking at the chubby little worms, Long Xuan shouted loudly towards the mountain peak, "Long Xuan Sister! I have come here to ask you questions on Master's orders."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a small door opened in the barrier in front of him, Long Xuan walked in happily.

Although Violet Star Peak covers a large area, Long Ziyan's location is not difficult to find.

Long Xuan walked directly to the highest point of the mountain and saw a purple pavilion where the beautiful woman was sitting.

Long Xuan couldn't help but sigh that he and she really looked like a married couple, even sharing the same hobbies. Not only did they both like to stay at the highest point of the mountain, but they also liked to build a pavilion there to shelter them from the sun and rain, where they could sit and enjoy the breeze and tea, which was very pleasant.

At this moment, she was holding a cup of tea, but unusually, she wasn't reading any ancient theological books. Instead, she was focusing her attention on a Thatch Gu on the table, looking at it with great interest.

That's right, this senior sister was actually watching the Thatch Gu build its little house, watching with great interest, and there was even a smile in the corner of her eye.

Long Xuan was stunned. When did his senior sister develop this peculiar hobby? Has she become so free? What's so interesting about an insect building a house?

Long Xuan looked at the small house again and discovered that it was actually built from the silk of the Dragon Silkworm Gu. This was far too extravagant!

This is second-tier Dragon Silkworm Silk! So much second-tier Dragon Silkworm Silk would fetch an astronomical price outside, and she's using it all to build houses for insects? What a waste! Could she have used all the second-tier Dragon Silkworm Silk she's produced in the past few years to build houses?

Seemingly sensing Long Xuan's thoughts, Long Ziyan glanced at him and said, "It's not a loss. As long as I can get first place, it's like using the prize money to build a house."

Long Xuan sat down opposite her and couldn't help but ask, "Is the Lineage holding House-Building Competition? So often?"

He knew that, unsurprisingly, Long Ziyan's work won first place in the first Thatch Gu Building Competition. Her exquisite little house, made of Century-Old Ice Marrow, stood out from the crowd, dazzling everyone's eyes, including those of all the Thatch Gu, and is still talked about today.

That year's Thatch Gu house-building competition was like a battle of gods, with even the elders of various clans participating. The cost of each house was astonishing, and the various houses built by the Thatch Gu were incredibly imaginative and exquisite.

The Long Qilin's confidently constructed High-Grade Spirit Stone hut failed to even crack the top ten, leaving him utterly devastated and crying in the toilet.

However, each of the Thatch Gu's small houses can only be used for the competition once, and Long Ziyan's Century-Old Ice Marrow Hut cannot be used for the next competition.

The small house she built this time with second-tier Dragon Silkworm Silk is ultimately not as stable as the one she built last time with Century-Old Ice Marrow. Will it be stable this time?

Long Ziyan seemed to see through his thoughts and slowly said, "The first house-building competition is unsurpassable. Everyone went bankrupt after that competition. How could anyone possibly produce a work that surpasses the first one?"

"My little house, built with second-tier Dragon Silkworm Silk, is almost finished. Although it may not be the most beautiful, it is definitely the most practical. A little house built with second-tier Dragon Silkworm Silk is not something that can be broken by any force."

Seeing that Long Ziyan had once again seen through his thoughts, Long Xuan was slightly taken aback. He couldn't help but admire their marital understanding; how could she always read his mind?

"Furthermore, this is no longer considered a competition. Because the Thatch Gu has such a significant impact on the Lineage 'Clan Fortune, Lineage Lineage has designated Thatch Gu Thatch Gu's birthday as a traditional festival to commemorate its contributions to the Lineage."

"The Strawcloak Gu Day is held every year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month and will be passed down forever. The Thatch Gu house exhibition is just one of the customs of this festival. Have you prepared your work?" Long Ziyan asked Long Xuan curiously.

Long Xuan rubbed his nose. After he refined the Thatch Gu, he simply threw it into the second team and let it roam freely. He didn't care about it at all, so naturally it wouldn't produce any good works.

However, he had already decided that when he got back, he would cut off a few branches from the Fire Dragon Fruit Tree to use as a house for the Thatch Gu.

He certainly didn't want to participate in any house exhibition. Ever since the Thatch Gu was promoted by the entire clan and began to appear on a large scale, the number of Thatch Gu Thatch Gu the Void Realm has been increasing.

After entering the Void Realm Thatch Gu will not only encounter its own kind, but will also enter the houses of other Thatch Gu and visit each other.

In other words, the Thatch Gu can travel long distances to the houses of its own kind, but there is a hierarchy of contempt among the Thatch Gu.

Thatch Gu with a poorly built house will be looked down upon, while Thatch Gu with a good house will not grant such Thatch Gu permission to enter its house.

In the Void Realm Thatch Gu, the Thatch Gu are divided into many circles. Thatch Gu with luxurious villas can visit each other, Thatch Gu Thatch Gu with simple houses can only visit each other.

Take, for example, Old Long's Thatch Gu. Old Long was heavily in debt and penniless. He had no building materials at all, so his Thatch Gu could only build a dilapidated thatched hut.

As a result, this Thatch Gu was despised by the entire clan. It couldn't enter anyone's house and could only stay alone in its dilapidated thatched hut, looking at the luxurious villas of its kind with envious eyes every day, feeling extremely pitiful.

Therefore, if Long Xuan wanted his own Thatch Gu to enter Long Ziyan's Thatch Gu's house, he had to spend a lot of money to build a luxurious villa for his Thatch Gu.

In this way, he could communicate with Long Ziyan, which was another way to bring them closer.

"Didn't you have a question to ask? Go ahead and ask now." After saying that, Long Ziyan turned her gaze to Thatch Gu, who was building a house.

Long Xuan finally remembered his real purpose and said directly, "I want to know the secret of the Evil Dragon Evil Dragon Emperor Eye 'Evil Dragon Emperor Eye, and how it transformed."

Both Long Xuan and Long Ziyan are geniuses who can unconditionally learn all the secret techniques passed down in their Lineage, so they naturally answered all their questions without reservation.

She immediately replied, "The Evil Dragon Emperor Eye is our clan's strongest unique Gu Insect, unparalleled in the most ancient times."

"If the Feng Clan's Evil Phoenix True Eye is the ability to learn all techniques, instantly mastering an opponent's various abilities, then the Evil Dragon Emperor Eye is the ability to break all techniques, instantly finding the weaknesses in an opponent's various abilities and defeating them in one blow. The two are mutually restraining."

"However, as the Earth Spiritual Power gradually diminishes, far too many materials have been wiped out, forcing these two divine eyes to continuously reduce their materials and weaken their abilities."

"Nowadays, these two divine eyes can only be effective against very weak abilities. They have long lost their deterrent power from ancient times, and they are no longer the strongest supreme-grade Gu worm."

"However, reducing the materials also has its advantages. After reducing the materials, the Gu Recipe are divided into four qualities: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade, based on the amount of materials used."

"Therefore, the Gu Recipe is no longer expensive, and everyone in the clan can afford to refine it. Although the Evil Dragon Emperor Eye is not powerful now, it can be made available to the entire clan, with each person having one."

"Besides possessing the basic ability to break through all laws, the Evil Dragon Emperor Eye also seals 108 abilities, but each person can only randomly draw one."

"The method for the Evil Dragon Emperor Eye to transform is through eye drops. In other words, each time the Evil Dragon Emperor Eye transforms, a different eye drop formula is needed, and the higher the grade of the eye drop formula, the better."

"This method is applicable to the vast majority of pupil-type Gu Insect, and your Eye Gu is very likely to be suitable for this method as well."

Long Ziyan glanced at Long Xuan's brow, handed him a formula for eye drops, and said, "This is the formula for Dragon's Tear. Applying these eye drops to your eyes will grant you dynamic vision, allowing you to easily detect the enemy's speed."

"In your eyes, the enemy's speed will be slowed down, making it difficult for you to lose. Furthermore, Dragon's Tear not only works on the Eye Gu, but also has a slight effect on the human eye; the more you use, the stronger your dynamic vision becomes."

"Dragon's Tear only have a one-day shelf life. The main ingredient requires the sap from the Lineage's Sacred Tree, the Divine Dragon Tree. The sap under the bark of the Divine Dragon Tree also only has a one-day shelf life."

"Therefore, the Dragon's Tear are always prepared by the Lineage in front of the Sacred Tree on the spot, and those who want to cleanse their eyes must also be present to do so."

"Eye-Washing Day is also a traditional Lineage festival, only three days later than the Strawcloak Gu Day. The first custom of Eye-Washing Day is to hold a grand Gu-Dueling Tournament."

"Only the top twenty in the Gu-Dueling Tournament are eligible to participate in the eye-washing activity. The higher the ranking, the more Dragon's Tear one receives."

"The Gu-Dueling Tournament involves both sides placing their Gu Insect into a large pit. Neither side's Gu cultivators can participate in the battle themselves; the outcome depends entirely on the strength and quantity of the Gu Insect Gu Insect, as well as the Gu cultivators' strategies."

"By directing from the sidelines and employing various strategies, Gu cultivators can also defeat stronger opponents with weaker ones; this is also a game for the wise."

"It is precisely because the Gu cultivators on both sides cannot participate that the level of Gu cultivators cannot gain a significant advantage in this kind of game. In previous Gu-Dueling Tournament, there have been many people who have won against their opponents by several levels."

"So even though you're only at the Early Marrow-Cleansing Stage, as long as your Gu Insect are strong enough, you can still be carried to a good ranking. I suggest you participate in this Gu-Dueling Tournament."

Upon hearing this, Long Xuan frowned slightly. He gleaned a piece of information from Long Ziyan's words: the more times the Dragon's Tear is used, the stronger the dynamic vision gained.

However, there is only one Divine Dragon Tree, which is in a situation where there are too many monks and not enough nutritious fruit. The Divine Dragon Milk produced is not enough to go around, and each person can only get a little, which is far from enough to achieve the drug resistance of Dragon's Tear.

If the Eye Gu is allowed to transform before it develops drug resistance, the resulting effect will certainly be imperfect.

Long Ziyan seemed to have read his mind and said tacitly, "There's nothing we can do about it. There are so many people in the Lineage, we can't possibly take care of just one person. Besides, even if we supplied one person with all the Divine Dragon Milk in the entire clan, it still wouldn't be enough."

"Therefore, each person can only allow the Evil Dragon Emperor Eye to transform in an imperfect state. I can only suppress the transformation of the Evil Dragon Emperor Eye and accumulate the number of Dragon's Tear."

"My only way is to participate in the annual Gu-Dueling Tournament and win first place, obtaining the largest quantity of Divine Dragon Milk each year, striving to transform the Evil Dragon Emperor Eye into a near-perfect state. My Evil Dragon Emperor Eye is supreme-grade Gu worm; I absolutely cannot compromise on it."

Long Xuan's eyes showed a thoughtful expression. He was certainly not satisfied with using a small amount of Dragon's Tear to transform the Eye of Heavenly Secrets in an imperfect state. With his ambition, he would definitely want to find another way.

Moreover, he didn't want to rely on others to prepare the eye drops; he wanted to improve the Dragon's Tear 'Dragon's Tear formula to make its dynamic vision-enhancing effects stronger.

The only way is to have a Divine Dragon Tree in his Medicine Garden. Then he can do whatever he wants with it, and make as many Dragon's Tear Dragon's Tear as he wants. This is the only way to allow his Eye of Heavenly Secrets to transform in a perfect state.

Long Xuan's eyes darted around, wondering if he could grow a tree from a thick branch of the Divine Dragon Tree that he had secretly broken off. He wondered if he could use his Cutting Propagation Technique from his previous life to make the branch grow into a tree.
