Chapter 93

All along, the Spirit Butterfly Sect believed that Luo Li's mastery of the Black Dragon Body was due to the successful death match and Xi Yi's failed soul possession. No one thought it could be a visualization technique that Luo Li himself had researched.

After all, Luo Li was just a minor cultivator, only at the Fourth Stage of Qi Refinement. No one would believe he could create and alter cultivation techniques.

Fang Yinxue remained silent for a long time after hearing Luo Li's explanation. Then she stood up, tidied her clothes, and knelt down to bow to Luo Li!

Luo Li was startled and hurried to help her up, but Fang Yinxue firmly refused his assistance and continued to bow twice more. Then she stood up and said, "This is not my bow, but the gratitude of countless future generations of the Spirit Butterfly Sect. This great kindness will never be forgotten!"

Then she stood up and said, "I will return to the sect first. The great kindness you have shown to the Spirit Butterfly Sect will be greatly rewarded!"

With that, she stood up and immediately fled, returning to the Spirit Butterfly Sect to begin verifying the technique, which would change the future of the sect.

Luo Xin's remains were naturally handled by someone, and she was buried in the Spirit Butterfly Sect's cemetery. Watching Luo Xin's parents leave in tears, although Luo Xin was dead, they received the Body Refining Spirit Pill, which could extend a mortal's life by twenty years, which was some compensation.

With the Black Dragon Blood from Luo Xin, Luo Li's dragon aura became twice as powerful, and his innate perception was even more potent. His divine sense range, which was originally one丈 (zhang, a traditional Chinese unit of length), increased to one丈 seven尺 (chi, another traditional Chinese unit of length), a 70% increase!

Luo Li returned to the Dusty Tower, sitting there, not knowing what to say. Time passed, and soon it was July. The trade of the Purple Star Heavenly Armor Talismans officially ended, and Luo Li handed over the Dusty Tower to Zhu Minghua. The Jin family father and son were lucky and continued to be employed by Zhu Minghua.

Luo Li was waiting for the seventh day of the seventh month, when he would leave this place. "Farewell, Five Islands of the Heavenly Spider. I am going to the Divine Might Sect to obtain the supreme inheritance!"

However, for some reason, Luo Li felt reluctant to leave. There were too many people and too many things here that he cared about. Leaving like this felt unsatisfactory!

Luo Li took a deep breath and began to practice diligently, practicing sword techniques, body cultivation, and net techniques, using the hard practice to dispel the feeling of departure.

Unsatisfied, unsatisfied, there was always a feeling of dissatisfaction!

Luo Li, at the Fourth Stage of Qi Refinement, had completed the Butterfly Dragon Transformation, mastered the Water Avoidance Technique, and the Web Control Technique of the Divine Weaving Sect.

The graceful young man, wearing the Spirit Butterfly Sect's Flowery Path Robe, holding the Sunburning Green Rainbow Sword, possessed the Golden Silk Net, the Demon Binding Net, the Absolute Ground Net, the Shadow Net, and twelve Purple Star Heavenly Armor Talismans, as well as twelve Lesser Yang Divine Thunder Talismans.

In the last few days of trading, Luo Li earned another thousand spirit stones, bringing his total to eight thousand spirit stones. Besides the spirit stones, he also had 1,600 jars of spirit wine, making him quite wealthy.

On the first day of the seventh month, the flying boat from the Cangbei region had arrived, and the market began to see scattered sales of Purple Star Heavenly Armor Talismans. These were from people who had traveled to other regions and returned on this flying boat.

They also wanted to sell them for fifty spirit stones, but there were too many sellers, leading to fierce competition. The price of the Purple Star Heavenly Armor Talismans began to drop. They did not have Luo Li's ability, and soon the price fell below forty spirit stones. Luo Li was relieved that he had ended the sale of the Purple Star Heavenly Armor Talismans.

On the third day of the seventh month, the Heavenly Spider Sect held an additional auction, which was essentially the sale of goods brought by the flying boat. This happened every year, with three additional auctions in July.

Luo Li entered the auction hall again, looking for suitable goods. It was mainly to see the excitement and gain some knowledge.

In the hall, each crystal box contained goods from the Cangbei region. Just by looking, Luo Li could feel the difference between the Cangbei region and the local area. Their goods had a bold and rugged feel, and Luo Li nodded, determined to travel the world in the future to experience the different landscapes of the world.

For some reason, the Spirit Butterfly Sect did not attend this time. They were all absent, and others did not know the reason, but Luo Li did. They were all in seclusion, studying the cultivation method of the Black Dragon Body.

Wandering around, Luo Li came to a crystal box. This area was filled with spirit pets, mostly spirit spiders from the Heavenly Spider Sect. Luo Li was stunned when he saw the crystal box!

In the crystal box, there were eight insect eggs, of about three types, all still in the pupal stage, needing to hatch to evolve into spirit beasts and be tamed as spirit pets.

The description read: "Unknown insect pupae, eight for sale, fixed price of four thousand spirit stones!"

Looking at these pupae, Luo Li rubbed his eyes hard. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. These pupae were butterfly pupae, and they were the pupae of the Time Pattern Sword Butterfly, the Three Realms Crystal Butterfly, and the Empty Cicada Holy Soul Butterfly!

"Impossible, impossible, these three spirit butterflies were already extinct in the Spirit Butterfly Sect. How could they be here?"

Luo Li squinted his eyes and began to re-evaluate the pupae based on the records he had seen in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion on Konyuan Peak.

"About the size of a soybean, golden yellow, with a spiritual aura, automatically twitching every three breaths, the aura inside is of the earth and metal elements, ..."

"Damn, damn, it is, it is, it really is! But, but, how could they appear here?"

"Ah, I know. This is goods brought from the Cangbei region. I remember the Spirit Butterfly Sect has a secret technique to trace the origin of the pupae. If the Spirit Butterfly Sect gets these pupae, they will find their origin and collect enough pupae to reproduce, thus regaining these spirit butterflies!"

Luo Li immediately turned around to look for a disciple of the Spirit Butterfly Sect, but because he had given the correct visualization technique for the Black Dragon Body to Fang Yinxue, no disciples of the Spirit Butterfly Sect came to this auction. The Spirit Butterfly Sect missed this opportunity!

At this moment, two cultivators also came to this spot. They saw the pupae, and one of them was startled, saying:

"Senior Brother Wu, Senior Brother Wu, these, these seem to be the pupae of the Time Pattern Sword Butterfly, the Three Realms Crystal Butterfly, and the Empty Cicada Holy Soul Butterfly from the Spirit Butterfly Sect!"

The other person said, "Junior Brother Wang, are you sure? Don't talk nonsense!"

Junior Brother Wang said, "Absolutely not. I am the scripture keeper of the sect's Hidden Scripture Pavilion. These are really the pupae of the Time Pattern Sword Butterfly, the Three Realms Crystal Butterfly, and the Empty Cicada Holy Soul Butterfly.

Notify the Spirit Butterfly Sect immediately and have them buy these spirit butterflies. Last year, the Spirit Butterfly Sect suffered a heavy blow. If they get these spirit butterflies, they can recover!"

The other person was stunned and slowly said, "Wait, Junior Brother Wang, we cannot notify the Spirit Butterfly Sect!"

He cautiously looked around. Luo Li was far away and should not have heard their conversation, but he was still uneasy and quietly used a secret technique. However, he did not realize that Luo Li's innate perception was strong, and although he was only at the Fourth Stage of Qi Refinement, his divine sense range had already reached one丈 seven尺. The secret technique was useless, and Luo Li heard everything they said!

Senior Brother Wu continued:

"Yesterday, I heard Senior Uncle Wisdom Spider say that a spy in the Spirit Butterfly Sect discovered that the sect had obtained the cultivation secret technique of the Black Dragon Sect. The entire sect is now studying it. If they get these lost spirit butterflies, they might rise again."

Junior Brother Wang said, "Rise again, wouldn't that be better? We are allies, after all?"

Senior Brother Wu said, "Junior Brother Wang, you are too naive. There can only be one leader in an alliance. If the Spirit Butterfly Sect rises, it might be the decline of our Heavenly Spider Sect. After all, there is only one left-hand sect in the Five Islands of the Heavenly Spider.

These spirit butterflies cannot be allowed to be bought by the Spirit Butterfly Sect. Junior Brother, how many spirit stones do you have? Let's pool our resources, buy these spirit butterflies, and destroy them. The Spirit Butterfly Sect, which already has the Black Dragon Body, must not get these spirit butterflies!"

Junior Brother Wang said, "Senior Brother, I understand. If these spirit butterflies are lost and then regained, the Spirit Butterfly Sect will become powerful. In the Five Sects Alliance, the strong will be stronger, and the weak will be weaker, leading to trouble. For the sake of the sect, we must destroy them!"

The two began to pool their spirit stones, but they only had about three thousand, which was not enough. Senior Brother Wu said:

"Junior Brother, you watch these spirit butterflies. I will go find Senior Uncle Wisdom Spider and be right back!"

He turned and quickly left!

Hearing this, Luo Li was stunned!

He had two choices. One was to pretend he saw nothing and leave, leaving on the seventh day of the seventh month, thus avoiding danger and living a peaceful life.

The other was to buy these spirit butterflies and deliver them to the Spirit Butterfly Sect. This way, the sect could find their origin and obtain enough seeds to revive the Spirit Butterfly Sect. However, this would make him an enemy of the Heavenly Spider Sect, and they would not let him off easily. Whether he could return to the Spirit Butterfly Sect alive was a question.

Choosing this path was extremely dangerous. The Heavenly Spider Sect had countless strong cultivators, and he might die here!

In an instant, a choice was placed before Luo Li.

"Haha, what does the Spirit Butterfly Sect have to do with me? I am no longer a disciple of the sect. They were not fair to me, expelling me from the inner sect, and Old Ancestor Xi Yi wanted to possess my body. They are not good people. Why should I help them!

My father told me to live well. So many people died for me to live. I cannot put myself in danger. Forget it, pretend I saw nothing, pretend I know nothing. If I were not here, it would be the same. Why didn't the Spirit Butterfly Sect have disciples here today!"

Thinking this, Luo Li turned to leave, but he laughed and suddenly rushed forward, came to the crystal box, took out four thousand spirit stones, and placed them inside. The box opened, and he took the eight pupae, then turned and walked out!

" Spirit Butterfly Sect, Spirit Butterfly Sect, there are people I care about, things I care about! Although some people harmed me, others helped me! Su Cai Zhen, Luo Xin, Old Ancestor Xi Yi, Old Man Ji An, He Li, Jin Ling, Wang Nitian, Brother Seven, Old Sha, Gao Peng...

My friends, my lover, my enemies, there is my past, my life!"

"Senior Sister Ruo Tong needs these spirit butterflies. She has helped me, saved me. When she needs help, I must help her! If I help her, she will surely give me many benefits!"

"Perhaps, if I choose to ignore it and leave, I can survive, but that kind of life, barely surviving, with a dead heart, is like a walking corpse, a lifetime of guilt!"

"I am not Xi Yi. I do not want to repent like him when I am old. I am Luo Li, I have my life, my beliefs!"

"My father would not want me to live in such a stifling way. He said a good man should live a life of passion and revenge, do what he wants to do. Damn it, I will do it, even if I die, I will do it!"
