Chapter 102 Witnessing the Metamorphosis
Cheng Nan, having reached the third stage of Foundation Establishment, distributed ninety percent of his energy.
"Little mute, you now have two pets, so what's your cultivation level?"
When Geng Yu saw that she had woken up, he walked to the soft couch and asked her softly.
Tu Shan rolled her eyes. Couldn't this guy be normal for once?
They are all cultivated individuals; they whisper in secret so that others cannot hear them.
"Take a guess?"
It's impossible to say.
She glanced at the cocoons in front of the others, all of which were the same size as hers, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
They're clever, I suppose.
Even if they absorb all the energy, they still cannot break through to the Golden Core stage, but the Blue Flash Poison Butterfly can use the energy to break through to the sixth rank.
The difference between the Nascent Soul stage and the Deity Transformation stage is vast. With a Deity Transformation stage cultivator protecting you, you can go to most places in the Misty Continent.
“Little mute, thank you so much this time. I’ll put the spirit stones aside for now. From now on, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west. You will be my great benefactor.”
Geng Yu stared at her with complete seriousness in his eyes.
Zhong Qi nodded in agreement.
Although Cheng Nan didn't speak, he stood beside the two of them, staring at Tu Shan with sincerity in his eyes.
Ji Se's eyes were vacant, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Alright, I've got your advice. I'll use any free time to consolidate my cultivation. It's still a long way off before the Blue Flash Poison Butterfly breaks free of its cocoon."
It's impossible for her to cultivate now.
Not wanting to be discovered as having special circumstances, he dared not attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage.
We can't just sit here and wait.
She asked the others to guard the Blue Flash Poison Butterfly while she went to gather some spiritual and poisonous plants.
"My cultivation level hasn't increased much, and the energy is pure, so there's no need to suppress it."
The other three nodded in agreement.
"How about you three take turns coming with me to collect spiritual or poisonous plants?"
Geng Yu nodded: "Okay, Zhong Qi and I will go with you first."
"No, each of your sects should leave one person to look after them."
In case of any incident, there will be witnesses from both sides.
She didn't want to take the blame.
“Alright, junior sister, you go first. I'll stay here and watch over Master.”
Cheng Nan thought for a moment and then agreed; it was indeed a good idea.
"it is good!"
Ji Se walked to Tu Shan's side and waited to depart.
“Okay, then Geng Yu and Ji Se will come with me today.”
"Come on, let's go! I've never been to this poisonous fog zone before, we should take a good look around."
Geng Yu smiled expectantly.
Gise: Do you think this is a vegetable market?
Maintaining her icy beauty persona with her head down is really too difficult for her.
Tu Shan nodded, lifted her leg, and followed the spiritual plant's guidance, leading the two away.
The remaining two looked at each other and then sat cross-legged to cultivate.
The concentration of the toxic fog was too high. She inhaled the fog and was able to see clearly for five meters, ensuring that she could continue walking safely.
The three of them walked and stopped frequently, and it took them an hour to find the spiritual plant.
While letting the money-gathering distract Geng Yu, she activated the "Life Force of All Things" technique. Only after achieving her goal did she allow Geng Yu to join the harvest.
"Let's get this straight, I found all of these things. I'll pick them all by myself, even if it's a bit slow. If you two join in, you should at least share some with me."
Geng Yu nodded. Tu Shan said that the contract method was being sold to them, but in reality, it was giving them six more ways to protect their lives.
He could tell which was more important, life or spirit stones.
"We'll give you everything we picked!"
Ji Se nodded; she didn't know how to refine pills.
"Okay, you said it, so I won't stand on ceremony."
Geng Yu patted his chest and assured him, "A gentleman's word is his bond; I will never go back on my word."
"Let's get started then. Remember not to dig it all up. Leave the seedlings and keep 10% of the mature spiritual plants."
She crouched down and used a shovel to dig it away along with the soil.
The three of them dug for another two hours.
After digging up three batches of spiritual plants, the three of them hurried back.
Upon arriving at their temporary residence, Mu Sen and Jian Wu had already completed the refining process.
"Are they not choosing to break through because they're so good at making money?"
"Of course, that little bit of energy isn't enough for them to break through. You can tell from the cocoons that the higher the level, the more energy is needed to break through."
Even the energy provided by the contract may not be enough to break through a minor realm.
However, they've only contracted fourth-tier demonic beasts now. If they contracted sixth or seventh-tier beasts, the energy would definitely be more abundant, increasing their chances of breaking through.
Tu Shan nodded to the two of them, too exhausted to speak to them; she needed to rest.
In the following days, the five of them acted together again after the two elders awoke.
Every day when she gets home, the first thing she does is check on the caterpillars' absorption of nutrients.
As the fluid inside the cocoon diminishes and the bond of the contract strengthens, the caterpillar's vitality grows stronger.
That day, Tu Shan and the other four had just finished digging up a batch of spiritual plants and were preparing to go to the next location.
"Money-absorbing, was that the power of my contract just now? Is she about to wake up?"
"Very likely, do you want to go back?"
"Of course, if it succeeds, she will be your and my partner from now on, and we definitely have to go and witness it."
After Ji Se and the others finished tidying up, they saw that she wasn't moving and asked with concern, "Fanzi, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Tu Shan's eyebrows curved into a smile: "I feel like my little caterpillar is about to emerge from its cocoon and become a butterfly. I need to go back and watch over it. Are you coming back with me, or are you going to continue digging for spirit plants?"
"Of course I'm going back. I've never seen what the Blue Flash Poison Butterfly looks like. I'm so looking forward to it. It must be really beautiful."
Geng Yu hurriedly expressed his opinion.
"Okay, let's head back now."
The five people had just arrived when they heard a series of "bang bang bang" sounds.
Seeing that Mu Sen and Jian Wu were just watching from the sidelines, Tu Shan finally felt relieved.
Whether it was her imagination or not, the cocoon, which was originally the size of a basketball, seemed to have grown a little bit larger.
Is it about to crack?
As I walked forward, the light blue silk had been shaken apart, leaving only a blue glass sphere inside, in which a butterfly with pure blue wings struggled in a small amount of liquid.
With each flap of its wings, a tiny crack appears in the blue glass sphere from the inside out.
"She's a money-grubber, do you think I should help her?"
He stared at her like she was an idiot, then turned away and ignored her.
"What kind of look is that? Can't you feel her pain?"
"You can't control this, and you can't do anything about it."
Why?
"Don't be fooled by how painful each swing of her arms looks. The process of swinging her arms is a process of removing impurities. Only in this way can her body become light and fly faster after she comes out."
"Don't be fooled by how thin that blue thing looks; you could crush it with a gentle squeeze. Even a single sword strike from Jian Wu might not be enough to shatter it."
"Is it really that exaggerated?"
Tu Shan wasn't disbelieving; he was just curious.
"Of course, but Musen can solve it. But if he does, then your Blue Flash Poison Butterfly will be nothing more than a weakling that hasn't fully developed."
If you can't outrun them when you need to escape, don't blame them for not being helpful.
Too lazy to ramble on about making money, Ruby's eyes remained fixed on the Blue Flash Poison Butterfly.
From now on, they will be companions. The stronger the companions are, the greater the chance that they will continue to walk together in the future.
He had no idea of internal competition; he believed in a win-win situation for everyone.
There is no need, absolutely no need, for a group with shared interests to fight for leadership.
The knocking grew louder and louder, and the cracks grew larger and larger.
"Crack!"
Under the persistent tapping of the Blue Flash Poison Butterfly, the blue glass ball finally cracked open with a fissure about one finger's width.
