Chapter 612 - 316: The Underground Treasure Exchange Convention, Corpse Moth [Subscribe Requested]_3
After roughly a quarter of an hour had passed, three out of the five items he had brought were exchanged; the trip was not in vain.
It was only after the remaining two items failed to find any exchanges that the Red Fox collected the venue fee for those three items from the horse-faced elder.

Then, she invited another Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator, who had concealed their face, to present their treasures for exchange first.
The rules of the Underground Treasure Exchange Convention were as such: those with higher cultivation levels could present their treasures for exchange first, acquiring what they desired, while those with lower cultivation levels had to wait their turn.
In the Cultivation World, the strong are revered everywhere.
However, even after the five present Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators had completed their exchanges, Zhou Chun had not made a single move.
Now his standards were higher; regular magic artifacts, elixirs, and talismans beneath the third rank failed to catch his eye and were of no use to him.
Thus, unless he encountered something that intrigued him, he could not be bothered to make a bid.
Finally, after another five or six Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators had their turn, he encountered an item that piqued his interest.
A Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, who had also concealed their identity, slapped their storage pouch at their waist and took out a black jade box then opened it, revealing a trove of greyish-black insect eggs inside.
The cultivator then declared, "One hundred Corpse Moth eggs and one tael of Seven-Leaf Corpse Orchid seeds in exchange for a second-rank superior fire-attribute offensive magic artifact."
"Corpse Moth" eggs?
A glint flashed in Zhou Chun's eyes, which were hidden beneath his bamboo hat, and information about this Demon Insect immediately filled his mind.
The "Corpse Moth" indeed is a peculiar insect.
Against ordinary Cultivators, this Demon Insect isn't of much use.
But it is the bane of various zombies and corpse-refined creatures.
"Corpse Moths" are extremely sensitive to corpse energy and are very fond of devouring the animal corpses and plant stems and leaves that contain corpse energy and Yin energy.
They are usually clumsy fliers and even dislike flying.
However, when faced with their preferred food, they can fly quite swiftly.
Furthermore, the powerful physical bodies of zombies and corpse-refined creatures pose no threat to them; as soon as the moths cling to them, they can suck out the corpse energy within.
Even the Dharma Powers driven by corpse energy have a very weak effect on "Corpse Moths."
If Zhou Mingde had had thousands of mature "Corpse Moths" back in the Underground Mausoleum in Yang Kingdom, the zombie transformed by the Golden Elixir Cultivator Han Yuan wouldn't have been able to cause any trouble and would have easily been drained of all its corpse energy by those "Corpse Moths," turning its corpse to ashes.
But as far as Zhou Chun knew, the Corpse Demon Sect in Fengguo was always actively seeking to eradicate "Corpse Moths" and other Demon Insects and Demon Beasts that countered corpse refinement.
After all, much of the Corpse Demon Sect Cultivators' strength lay in the corpse-refined beings they enslaved and cultivated.
Given this situation, how could this Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator dare to bring out these "Corpse Moth" eggs for exchange?
Wasn't he afraid that if the Corpse Demon Sect learned of this, they would bring fatal disaster upon him?
Indeed, just as Zhou Chun was thinking this, the Red Fox, representing the organizers of the Underground Treasure Exchange Convention, furrowed her brows and directly scrutinized the man, saying, "My friend, you've got quite the nerve, daring to trade the eggs of Corpse Moths!"
The man, upon hearing this, feigned ignorance, "I don't quite understand what you're implying, senior. These Corpse Moth eggs are merely the spoils from an adventure of mine, why shouldn't I trade them?"
As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere in the Underground Cave Hall suddenly turned eerie.
What do you think?
