Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Purple Butterfly
A beast skin bag silently appeared in Zhang Yuan’s hand.
Opening the bag, he placed the Thousand Threads Net that bound the Human-faced Butterfly into it, then tied it tightly at top speed.
This beast skin bag was not an ordinary item, made from materials stripped from a powerful Fierce Beast and processed through an intricate tanning procedure.
Although it wasn’t a Profound Artifact, its value was no less than that of an ordinary Profound Artifact.
Like the Thousand Threads Net, it was also a tool borrowed from Su Jingyao to capture the Human-faced Butterfly.
With the Human-faced Butterfly and the Thousand Threads Net bagged, the last weight on Zhang Yuan’s mind finally settled.
He released the augntation of the Power of the Black Giant Ant, feeling every inch of muscle and every bone in his body sigh with relief.
His whole body felt so light as if he were about to float away.
To suppress the Human-faced Butterfly’s resistance earlier, Zhang Yuan forcibly enhanced the Power of the Black Giant Ant to eighteen tis its strength.
Even though his Six Harmonies Qilin Body had reached a Minor Achievent Realm, such a high strength increase still exceeded the body’s limit, causing unavoidable damage.
Thankfully, the duration was short, otherwise, even damaging the fundantal source was possible.
Otherwise, Zhong Yuan would have lost everything for this mission!
Bang!
Just as Zhang Yuan was about to leave, the Deathly Silent Cold Pool in the distance erupted without warning.
The pool water, heavy with intense Evil Qi, suddenly surged dozens of feet high, mixed with blocks of black and blue ice stones swirling and spreading everywhere.
The icy and bitter Evil Qi spread in all directions.
Zhang Yuan suddenly had a sense of impending doom, instinctively using his full strength to unfold the Carefree Travel Body Technique, darting like an Arrow Leaving the Bowstring back the way he ca.
His instincts told him that sothing major was about to happen at Mo Yuan!
And behind Zhang Yuan, the Evil Qi from the Cold Pool’s eruption did not weaken but beca even more surging and violent.
But even the Evil Qi’s sweeping speed couldn’t catch up with Zhang Yuan, enhanced to sixteen tis his agility.
After a life-threatening sprint, he reached the top of the canyon.
Upon bursting through the clouds and seeing the sun again, Zhang Yuan felt reborn.
He lay directly on the ground, feeling completely drained, with not a drop of energy left.
Looking at his Qi and Blood Value, he found it was barely over a hundred.
Zhang Yuan quickly retrieved a Ginseng Pill from his Storage Space and swallowed it to hasten the recovery of his Qi Blood.
His current condition was too poor, his combat power drastically reduced. Although out of imdiate danger, he wasn’t completely safe.
After the ti it takes for an incense stick to burn, Zhang Yuan leaped from the ground.
Gazing at the swirling clouds in the canyon below, he couldn’t help but exhale a long breath.
For the ti being, nothing would compel him to descend again.
Taking a deep look at Mo Yuan, Zhang Yuan, with half of his Qi Blood value restored, sped off towards Upper Scenic Celestial.
Upon returning to Lin Xian Manor, he activated a Token.
Before long, Su Jingyao arrived in haste, eting with Zhang Yuan in a teahouse’s private room.
"Mission accomplished."
Without any unnecessary words, Zhang Yuan placed the beast skin bag containing the Human-faced Butterfly before her.
"You caught it?"
Su Jingyao’s beautiful eyes glimred, as she imdiately untied the bag’s string.
One glance and she gasped in shock!
"It’s a Purple Butterfly!"
The Little Junior Sister of Mingxiu Peak stood dumbfounded: "You, you actually caught a Purple Butterfly?"
Zhang Yuan instantly realized that the Human-faced Butterfly he captured was extraordinary.
He asked nonchalantly, "Is there a problem?"
"It’s a big problem!"
Su Jingyao’s expression was sowhat bewildered: "I thought you’d be extrely lucky to catch a Blue Butterfly, but never expected..."
She shook her head, her expression returning to normal: "Junior Brother Zhang, you truly have great Luck."
It turned out Human-faced Butterflies are graded by the color of their wings. Blue is the most common, followed by deep blue, purple, deep purple, and black-purple.
The most ultimate Human-faced Butterflies are gold-purple, a legendary existence.
The one Zhang Yuan caught was between purple and deep purple, comparable to the mid-to-high Tier level.
In fact, even the most ordinary Blue Human-faced Butterfly is a rare and elusive deceitful monster.
Su Jingyao never imagined Zhang Yuan would bring such a great surprise!
Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but ask: "So can you still use it?"
No wonder capturing this Human-faced Butterfly was so taxing, almost costing him his life at Mo Yuan; it turned out to be sothing formidable!
"Of course!"
Su Jingyao responded without hesitation: "The Secret Technique I’m cultivating is just like your Six Harmonies Qilin Body."
No more words were needed; Zhang Yuan understood completely.
For cultivating the Six Harmonies Qilin Body, the higher the age of the Qilin Grass, the better the cultivation effect.
Evidently, the Human-faced Butterfly was the sa!
Su Jingyao gave a wry smile: "But what I promised you won’t be enough."
Originally, Su Jingyao agreed to trade a 380-year-old Qilin Grass and a 200-year-old ginseng as compensation for a Human-faced Butterfly.
But she expected a Blue Butterfly, whereas Zhang Yuan brought a Purple Butterfly.
The value of a Purple Butterfly far exceeds that of a Blue Butterfly!
She furrowed her brow, but Zhang Yuan simply smiled: "Forget it. You didn’t ntion it at first. There’s no way for
to catch another Blue Butterfly for you. Let’s just call it even."
Su Jingyao could have easily said nothing, as Zhang Yuan didn’t know the difference.
Since she was honest, he didn’t mind forging a good relationship.
In the years to co, Zhang Yuan would continue his cultivation at Upper Scenic Celestial, and building a good rapport with a senior disciple from Mingxiu Peak would surely outweigh a small gain.
Zhang Yuan believed that, given Su Jingyao’s integrity, she’d surely provide sufficient reciprocation!
"That won’t do!"
Su Jingyao shook her head decisively, gritting her teeth: "Wait here for a mont, I’ll be back shortly."
Saying this, she got up to leave.
"Wait."
Zhang Yuan pointed at the beast skin bag: "Take it with you."
Su Jingyao paused, giving Zhang Yuan a curious look: "Junior Brother Zhang, aren’t you worried?"
Zhang Yuan just smiled silently.
Su Jingyao hesitated for a second, then grabbed the beast skin bag and left the room like the wind.
She left behind a faint, lingering fragrance of orchid and musk.
Zhang Yuan calmly picked up his tea cup, sipping the hot tea.
Though human nature often fails the test, his instincts told him Su Jingyao wouldn’t disappoint.
Since he was betting, why not go all in?
And indeed, Zhang Yuan’s instincts were spot on.
Su Jingyao was back shortly after leaving in haste.
As soon as she sat down, she eagerly handed Zhang Yuan a Jade Slip.
Then she took out three dicine boxes.
A cultivation technique and three rare treasures; this was Su Jingyao’s reward to him!
