Immortal Road.

Chapter 337 Abducting the Void Butterfly

Looking at the small bottle in his hand and feeling the weight of it being half empty, Lin Shan felt a chill in his heart!
Luyu stalactite!

What kind of spiritual creature is this?

If it were in the outside world, it would be fought over by Jindan stage cultivators, and even Yuanying stage cultivators might be tempted. After all, it is a life-extending elixir that can prolong life for half a century!

For himself, it is an indispensable part of realizing the sect's magical power, Thunder Storm, into a perpetual motion machine!
In the battle in the underground cave, if it weren't for the endless supply of the reed jade stalactites, he wouldn't dare to stroke the beard of the Ming Snake Demon King even if he had ten times the courage!

Not to mention that later, when the three brothers turned against each other, they relied on this to restrain Zhong Shenxiu.

After two great battles, only a dozen drops were consumed, and each drop could instantly restore all of his soul power.

But now, half a bottle is gone?!

The little purple butterfly was still swaying and crawling slowly along the mouth of the bottle. It seemed that it was just stuffy and wanted to come out for some fresh air.

After taking a walk, he folded his wings and leaned forward.

"pat~"

It turned around and fell into the bottle, returning to the embrace of the hot spring of the Luyu stalactite.

A serious interpretation of what "drunken butterfly" means!
"?!!"

Lin Shan was so frightened that he was in a panic and quickly arrested the little guy again.

What will happen if we let it continue to cause harm like this?

I really treat this place as my own home!
He recognized the purple butterfly at a glance. After all, it left a deep impression on him. It was thanks to it that he was able to come here.

Void Butterfly!
How did Sailor Moon's pet end up here? !

Lin Shan felt dazed. Could it be that all the dreams he had experienced during the period from the space turbulence to now were related to it?
Zhuang Zhou dreamed of butterflies, and butterflies dreamed of Zhuang Zhou.

Is this the third most rare and bizarre insect in the entire chaotic void?

It's so magical.

The key point is, Sailor Moon actually lost this divine insect!
It was not difficult for Lin Shan to imagine how heartbroken that woman would be if she had survived the spatial turbulence and discovered that the Void Butterfly was gone after she regained consciousness.

I will definitely be panicked to the point of going crazy!

but
Is she panicking?
Is it none of my business?

Your pet got lost on its own, I didn't kidnap it.

The little guy even stole half of my bottle of Lu Yu Stalactite, and I haven’t even settled the score with him yet!
Lin Shan pinched its wings with two fingers, hung it in the air, and looked at it carefully, as if appreciating a peerless work of art.

"Void Butterfly, I have never seen one since I was a child, tsk tsk"

The purple butterfly was still swaying, as if it had not yet woken up from the deliciousness of the reed stalactite. It looked dazed and a little silly.

Lin Shan started to make some calculations in his mind.

It seems like I have never raised a spiritual pet, so isn’t this a ready-made one?

He doesn't usually raise one, not because he doesn't want to, but because there are indeed too many restrictions.

One is that you can't afford it. Only those who have one know how much it costs to raise a spiritual pet. The daily feeding is a bottomless pit. Without sufficient financial support, the pet can't even get enough to eat, so why should it follow you?

The second reason is that there is no time. Raising a spirit pet from a young age and waiting for it to grow up slowly is too long. Lin Shan is already in the Soul Pill stage now and what he needs is high-end combat power. It is naturally impossible for him to raise a young beast from scratch.

In the past, I had the Black Skull Demon Lord as my escort, so I didn't need to find any helpers. Now that I am the only one in the world again, I naturally need to find some auxiliary forces.

The third reason is that I haven’t met the right one. To be honest, this is really hard to find.

A spirit beast is not a demon beast. It must be tamed from childhood to be called a spirit beast. If you tame a demon beast midway, its loyalty and growth potential will be completely incomparable.

Most spirit beast cubs are kept in captivity in top-tier sects; ordinary sects simply cannot afford them.

If you go looking for it in the wild, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Most of the monster cubs are not suitable to be spirit beasts, so it is extremely difficult to find one that suits your taste.

Now that I have encountered this strange chaotic insect and have just witnessed its power with my own eyes, it has just transformed into a butterfly, and its void talent is extremely strong. Where can I find this ancient alien species?
As for the original owner Sailor Moon?

Ha ha!

Lin Shan is extremely shameless. Can this be called poaching? This is called a wise bird choosing a good tree to inhabit!

The spirit beast contract is not a master-servant contract.

As long as I can coax this little butterfly, I can let it take off the contract on its own and tie itself to me instead, right?
As for the kind of aftermath that "if someone can betray others today, they can betray you tomorrow", Lin Shan doesn't care at all.

As long as you take good care of it and don't lose it like Sailor Moon did, there is no such thing as changing your ownership.

The problem now is how to turn.

As the saying goes, if you want to get someone, you must first control her stomach. This also applies to spiritual pets.

In order to obtain the Void Butterfly, he now had no time to even take care of his own healing. He hurriedly rummaged through his storage bracelet, taking out all the edible things to see what the Void Butterfly liked.

As a result, he was not interested in any snacks, elixirs, magical flowers and herbs, or void butterflies.

It was only when Lin Shan took out some spiritual liquid that he would reluctantly come over to smell it.

However, this little guy was very picky. He looked down upon all the junk stuff from Lin Shan and walked away decisively thinking that it was not of high quality.

"Like spiritual fluid?"

Lin Shan frowned and saw that the little guy turned his head and continued to stare at his half-full bottle of Lu Yu Stalactite. One can imagine how depressed he felt.

Reed jade stalactites are an important means of endurance in the Jindan period.

Drinking it as a beverage, I guess even Sailor Moon wouldn’t be so generous!
As for the Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Milk, Lin Shan held it tightly. This was the key treasure for his Jade Liquid Body Refining. Xiao Xin, the spirit of the Void Star Disk, personally kept it for him and suppressed it with a spiritual treasure, so there must not be any mistakes.

Lin Shan was not giving up. He really couldn't bear to give up the Lu Yu Stalactite. The key point was that this old man drank half a bottle at a time. Who could afford this?
I worked for the Kuihu demon king for two months, risking my life, and this is only enough for you to buy a day's drink? Don't make trouble!

Next, he found a bunch of spiritual tea, spiritual honey and spiritual wine, brewed them himself and brought them to the little guy's mouth.

Still no feedback.

As a strange insect of chaos, the Void Butterfly mostly feeds on spiritual fluids of heaven and earth. Even though it is still young, its starting level will not be bad!

The fourth-level spiritual liquid, the Lu Yu Stalactite, is the threshold!
It's just ordinary trash, please don't bring it out to embarrass yourself.

Lin Shan frowned. This is simply a huge expense. It costs more money than raising ordinary spirit beasts. How did Sailor Moon raise them before? I don't believe she feeds the Luyu stalactite as water every day!

Of course, he couldn't ask, nor did he want to ask.

Now I wish I could stay as far away from Sailor Moon, her original owner, as possible.

"For spiritual liquids above the fourth level, besides the Luyu stalactite, I only have the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Milk."

"Not only is the amount so small, but I also need to use it myself. There is no way I can feed it."

"Is there any spiritual liquid that meets the quality standards and can be produced sustainably?"

".""Um?"

correct!

Lin Shan suddenly had an idea!
Phantom liquid!
Isn’t this definitely the fourth-level spiritual liquid?
Moreover, the output can be continuous, as long as the saplings of the Phantom Ancient Tree are bled.

As for the ancient phantom tree itself, it is not easy to produce blood. It only needs to be watered, and he does not need to take care of anything at ordinary times. Isn't this a natural egg-laying hen?

just
Thinking back to the time when I got the Phantom Spirit Ancient Tree, I have been plucking it till its skin is almost peeling off.
Do not!
The skin has been plucked out.

Catching a sheep and pulling it apart, do you think this is something a human being can do?
It was originally lush and green, but after only forty years, it was tortured beyond recognition by branch breaking and bleeding!
Following you is simply bringing misfortune to my whole life!
Lin Shan touched his conscience, a flash of hesitation passed through his eyes, and he felt a little reluctant.

After all, it is just a small sapling, so I do this.
Is this too much?
Looking at the drunken Void Butterfly in front of him, the hesitation in his heart began to waver again.

This is an ancient chaos creature. God knows where Sailor Moon got this pet. Now that it's in my hands, I have to hurry and make the most of it. If I miss this opportunity, I'll miss it forever!

He cast his spiritual consciousness into the spirit beast bag, and the atmosphere here was quite harmonious at this time.

The sapling of the phantom ancient tree is playing with the three evil brothers. It has been very happy since the three neighbors moved in.

The three evil brothers were also bored, so they taught it the drinking game and the quiver game. However, the little sapling couldn't speak, and it lost every time when playing the drinking game. It drank until it was dizzy, and could only giggle while holding the quiver.

Looking at its heartless appearance, Lin Shan gritted his teeth and made up his mind that if he had the chance in the future, he must find it some spiritual soil similar to "green mud and jade soil", or spiritual veins of better quality, so that it can recuperate.

Now.
I can only bear with it for now.

Two bottles of freshly brewed phantom liquid were taken out and placed in front of the Void Butterfly.

Lin Shan looked at the scene in front of him nervously. He didn't know if this fourth-grade plant essence could be a substitute for the Spirit Liquid of Heaven and Earth.

The little purple butterfly lazily lay on his finger, and his eyes never left the reed stalactite.

However, when he saw Lin Shan offering two more bottles of spiritual liquid, he glanced at him reluctantly.

This time, I became interested.

He immediately turned around and went over to sniff it. Although he wasn't as intoxicated as when he saw the Lu Yu stalactite, he was also excited. After all, it's nice to change the taste.

Lin Shan took a look and thought there was hope!

I quickly invited the little ancestor to taste it.

The Void Butterfly flapped its wings, reached down to taste the bottle, and actually nodded its head in an anthropomorphic way, indicating that it was good!

Still wide enough!
"Oh!"

Lin Shan was extremely happy now. With a long-term supply of Phantom Liquid and extra care from him on a daily basis, why would he worry that this little guy wouldn't change his mind?
What will it be like when Shui Bingyue meets him next time and finds that the Void Butterfly has become her pet? That will be a very satisfying sight!
Thinking of this, he became very excited and couldn't stop smiling.

"Well, from now on, I have to call you something more intimate. I'll call you Xiao Xu!"

In fact, he has always liked this name. When he named Xiaoxin, the spirit of the Xuxing disk, he also used this name as the first one, but it was rejected.

The Void Butterfly was no exception. Its intelligence was obviously not low. Upon hearing this, it immediately raised its head to express its protest.

Lin Shan didn't dare to disobey this little ancestor, for fear of making her unhappy, so he had to settle for the second best and carefully changed the way he called her.

"How about calling me Xiaokong?"

The Void Butterfly flapped its wings, and slight ripples began to appear in the space, clearly expressing its dissatisfaction.

Lin Shan was startled and quickly changed his words, testing the waters with some uncertainty.

"What about Xiaodie?"

This time he finally guessed right. The Void Butterfly survived and went back to the bottle to lick the phantom liquid.

Next, the two began to make an agreement.

Lin Shan knew that it could understand human words, so he told it that as long as it followed him, he would not pursue the matter of the Lu Yu stalactite. As for the phantom liquid like this, one bottle was supplied per month, and these two bottles would be his gift for the meeting.

The Void Butterfly flapped its wings, tilted its head and thought about it, and actually agreed without even bargaining!

Lin Shan was stunned.

Only then did I come to my senses.

co-author,

My conditions are too high?
Was Sailor Moon raised in poverty before?

He drank half a bottle of Luyu stalactite in one go. Could it be that he was starving during the day? !

What the hell!

Hastily!
Lin Shan had a preconceived notion that Shui Bingyue, who came from Jingyang Academy, must be very wealthy and powerful, and that she spoiled Void Butterfly and treated her like a princess.

But in fact, she was just a Jindan-stage cultivator. How could she possibly treat the fourth-level spiritual liquid as cabbage and use it to feed her pets at will?
So there was a misunderstanding.

Originally, Xukongdie had nowhere to go, but when he saw Lin Shan was so considerate and was treating him like this, he thought he had met a wealthy man and agreed immediately.

Although Lin Shan felt extremely regretful, since he had already made such a bold statement, he could only pretend to be strong. After all, it was the Phantom Ancient Tree that was wronged.
If the young sapling of the Phantom Ancient Tree knew what he was thinking, it would probably faint from tears on the spot.

Then there is the issue of settlement.

Lin Shan thought about it and decided to put the Void Butterfly into the spirit beast bag as well, to keep it company with the phantom ancient tree and the three evil spirit brothers inside.

In fact, he had other considerations.

If the Void Butterfly can develop a deep friendship with the Phantom Ancient Tree by playing with it for a long time during this period of time, and even cannot leave here because of the Phantom Liquid, wouldn't that be equivalent to being bound to oneself in disguise?

In secret, he also secretly instructed the three evil spirit brothers to instill more ideas into the Void Butterfly, so as to subtly induce it to change its allegiance, and at the same time to treat it well, so as to make it happy and unwilling to leave.

The three lackeys "Mang", "Huo" and "Ru" immediately patted their chests and promised to complete the task!

Lin Shan nodded with satisfaction and let the five of them play for the time being.

His most urgent priority now is to recover from his injuries, otherwise it would be bad if he became a kidney deficiency again because of the "Huangzhu Heshen Fa".

He took a drop of Reed Jade Stalactite with a little pain, and the soul power in his limbs was temporarily replenished. He began to practice the "Nine Transformations of Golden Body" to re-train his body.

The virtual star disk was above his head, continuously drawing star power to heal his injuries and shape his body. Xiao Xin was also considerate enough to set up several small formations around him, including those to guard the vicinity, block detection, hide auras, and gather spiritual energy.

……

The injury this time was so severe that it took more than half a month before he was finally able to refine the two bodies again.

After locking his essence and energy, it took him about three more days, with the help of some pills and talismans, to completely recover from all his injuries.

During this time, it was quiet deep underground and no one came to disturb.

This made Lin Shan breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was lucky. After coming out of the space turbulence, he had enough time to heal his wounds.

Since it's so quiet here, I might as well go all out. It's time to break through the Jindan stage!
