"Really? I wasn't aware it could hide you from Heaven. I have never seen it work that way."
"Not on its own, but it can when you use it as a material," the man said. "Which is why it is a core ingredient in many of the artifacts that can protect you from Heavenly Tribulations and such issues."
"Oh? Then if they are so important, shouldn't the Silkworms be even more important? They should sell for more, right?"
"Well... you don't really need any more than a tiny thread for that, so a single silkworm ends up being more than enough to create nearly a thousand such artifacts, so there isn't as high a demand for the silk threads," the man said. "Besides, whether that artifact works or not also depends on the artifact maker, and is much less dependent on the thread."
Alex slowly nodded. He thought of going through Steelmind's memories to see how he used the threads, but that would take some time.
