Chapter 136: The Exquisitely Beautiful Illusory Butterfly Wings
The next morning, Shi Lin came out of his room, where Shi An was sitting in the camp cultivating.
With the two of them and nearly twenty Gu worms scattered around, there was basically no need for night watch. Shi An was also cultivating outside to prevent any unexpected events from happening.
"Brother An, I'm up. Why don't you eat something and rest for a while? We'll go hunt the Illusory Winged Butterflies soon, so we can get home as soon as possible," Shi Lin said with a smile to Shi An.
"Alright, young master." Shi An opened his eyes, smiled sheepishly at Shi Lin, and nodded.
Then, Shi Lin and Shi An took out two lunchboxes from their soul tools and began to eat.
These were all prepared in advance by Shi Lin's family chefs. The temperature wouldn't change when they were placed in the soul tool, so they tasted like home when eaten.
Now that Shi Lin has the means, there's no need for him to suffer unnecessarily; his family also has the means.
After the two finished their meal, Shi An returned to his room to rest for a while, while Shi Lin closed his eyes to relax and adjust his state in preparation for facing the Illusory Winged Butterfly.
After all, the Illusory Winged Butterfly is also very powerful in combat.
Time passed slowly, and two hours later, Shi An walked out of the room feeling refreshed.
He seemed to have slept well; having cultivated all night, Shi An wasn't that tired.
"Young Master, let's go! I'm in absolutely the best condition right now!" Shi An chuckled and said to Shi Lin.
"Let's go, let's set off!" Shi Lin waved his hand, then led Shi An toward the territory of the Illusory Winged Butterfly.
Then, the two arrived in the territory of the Illusory Winged Butterfly.
This is a lush sea of flowers, the fragrance of which wafts through the air and surges like ocean waves. The fragrance makes Shi Lin and Shi An feel intoxicated.
"When I get home, I have to get my dad to plant some flowers! And we need to plant some flowers in the botanical garden too!" Shi Lin looked at the sea of flowers in front of him and thought that he wanted to create a sea of flowers just like that at home.
It's absolutely a feast for the eyes!
Upon closer inspection, hundreds of black butterflies can be seen flying freely above the sea of flowers.
These butterflies are entirely black with scattered silver-white spots, making them very beautiful. As their wings flutter, the black wings subtly transform between reality and illusion.
It gives people a wonderful feeling, like a dream.
As sunlight refracts across the wings of the Illusory Winged Butterfly, creating a dazzling display of colors, the butterfly appears radiant and captivating. With its wings ethereal, the sunlight reflecting off them makes it seem like a lively and agile sprite amidst a sea of flowers.
After careful observation, Shi Lin quickly found a Thousand-Year-Old Illusory Winged Butterfly.
Shi Lin possesses six top-grade wine gu, so absorbing a thousand-year soul ring beyond his level is no problem for him, nor will it pose any danger.
Next, Shi Lin arrived at the sea of flowers.
Although the Illusory Winged Butterfly is really beautiful, but... for the sake of the soul ring, Shi Lin had no choice but to destroy it.
These ethereal butterflies are still very wary of humans.
However, Shi Lin was prepared. He took out a jar of honey from his soul tool and carefully fed it to a thousand-year-old Illusory Winged Butterfly.
The smell of honey is very attractive to insects like butterflies, so this Illusory Winged Butterfly with a thousand years of cultivation fell for Shi Lin's sugar-coated bullet.
A giant butterfly, half a meter tall, perched on Shi Lin's hand, extending a straw to sip honey, seemingly thoroughly enjoying itself.
Then, Shi Lin gradually lured the Illusory Winged Butterfly away from its flock and into the forest.
Shi Lin wasn't in a hurry. He found a place to sit down and fed the butterfly honey little by little, since honey is the favorite food of insects like butterflies.
Soon, the entire jar of honey was fed to the Illusory Winged Butterfly with a thousand years of cultivation.
After eating the honey, the Illusory Winged Butterfly excitedly fluttered around Shi Lin, looking very happy.
But after flying for a while, it started spinning in the air and then landed on the ground and fainted.
Shi Lin knew he was definitely not a gentleman, and he felt no guilt whatsoever when using such despicable methods as poisoning.
A jar of honey contained half a pound of the highest-grade sleeping potion produced by the "Bewitching Incense Gu"—a dose large enough to knock out even a rhinoceros!
Not to mention a little butterfly.
Shi Lin approached the Illusory Winged Butterfly. Looking at the beautiful butterfly, he couldn't bear to look at it. He slowly squatted down, then gently raised his dagger and brought it down, killing the Illusory Winged Butterfly instantly.
The Illusory Winged Butterfly trembled a few times, and then it died.
A few minutes later, specks of purple light were released from the body of the Illusory Winged Butterfly, slowly condensing into a purple soul ring above the butterfly's corpse.
Human evolution has greatly helped humans in dealing with wild animals, making it extremely easy to kill them.
Looking at the purple spirit ring in front of him, Shi Lin revealed a faint smile. This was his second spirit ring.
As for the beautiful, illusory, empty-winged butterfly, Shi Lin has selectively forgotten about it.
"Young Master, please absorb the soul ring first. I'll guard it for you," Shi An said earnestly to Shi Lin.
Shi Lin nodded, then sat cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate.
A dozen minutes later, Shi Lin had adjusted his condition and was ready to absorb the spirit ring.
The Illusory Winged Butterfly is a soul beast with spatial attributes, so its attributes are not a very good match for Shi Lin.
Therefore, when Shi Lin absorbed this spirit ring, he felt obvious resistance.
The spirit ring exerted immense pressure on Shi Lin, causing him to feel intense pain in his meridians. At the same time, he also sensed the rebellious consciousness left within the spirit ring by the Illusory Winged Butterfly.
"This is outrageous!" Shi Lin roared, and then began to control the soul power in his body to suppress the rebellious consciousness of the Illusory Winged Butterfly.
Moreover, at this moment, the wine gu on Shi Lin's body also began to exert its power, drawing out the soul power from the soul ring through multiple channels, allowing Shi Lin to absorb this soul power in an orderly manner.
Only by absorbing soul power in this way can Shi Lin safely solve this problem.
Once the soul power is completely absorbed, the rebellious consciousness left by the Illusory Winged Butterfly in the soul ring will become rootless, making it much easier to deal with at that point.
As expected, as Shi Lin gradually absorbed the soul power within the spirit ring into the bodies of the wine gu, the resistance within the spirit ring quickly dissipated.
The subsequent absorption process is much easier.
Half an hour later, Shi Lin successfully absorbed the spirit ring and comprehended the spirit skill.
The special abilities of the Illusory Winged Butterfly are the Wing Blade and the power of illusion.
However, the Illusory Winged Butterfly with a thousand years of cultivation can only inherit spatial attributes; its illusory abilities require ten thousand years of cultivation to manifest.
Therefore, the soul skill that Shi Lin inherited is spatial cutting!
It can tear open a spatial rift!
Of course, it requires a certain amount of preparation time, about one second, and consumes a great deal of soul power!
