Chapter 44: Phantom Dream Butterfly
The effect of hard training is also significant. Although Ning Bei’s soul power level has not increased much and has only reached level 56, his soul power has been completely condensed and there is no trace of fragility. The next period of time can be used to fully improve the soul power level.

A Bao stayed on the fifth floor of Danta for nearly a whole year, and finally successfully transformed into a ten thousand year soul beast. Its sharp claws are intimidating even without attacking. Its whole body has become much larger, and now it is about nine meters tall when standing.

As the Demon Eye Tree and the Emerald Swan lived on the fourth floor together, they shared the effect of the elixir fragrance equally. Their current cultivation levels have reached 3000 and 4500 years respectively.

The human-faced demon spider that stayed alone on the third floor was treated almost the same as the two beasts, and currently had a cultivation level of over 5000 years.

Next, Ning Bei will swap its level with Abao’s, and the positions of the other two beasts will remain unchanged for the time being. The human-faced demon spider can gain the ability to hide after reaching ten thousand years, and even the mental power of a strong person cannot detect it. The ability of the spider god’s possession is also quite practical, burning one year’s cultivation every second, thereby greatly improving one’s own strength and speed. The consumed cultivation can be recovered by lying down in Danta for a few days.

By then, it will be of great help to the entire team.

As Ning Bei’s cultivation level increased, the number of pills he made gradually increased, bringing in hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins every month.

If he were to put all his efforts into producing first-grade recovery pills, rejuvenation pills and power-accumulating pills, he could produce thousands of them every day.

At the same time, the manufacturing efficiency of the foundation-building spirit liquid has also been greatly increased. Now it can be supplied to hundreds of children of the right age in the sect at the same time. When these children reach the age of 6, they will bring a group of good seedlings with innate soul power of level 5 or above to the sect. The success rate is even more terrifying than that of the Spirit Hall.

In the eldest prince’s mansion, Qian Renxue, dressed as Xue Qinghe, looked at the jade bottle in her hand and fell into deep thought.

I opened the jade bottle and put it to my nose and sniffed it. A faint, fresh medicinal fragrance wafted out.

“Is it the liquid in this jade bottle that can improve the children’s innate soul power?”

Snake Spear on the side nodded, confirming the effect of the medicine.

“This was secretly found by our spies. It is said that the children of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect soak their bodies in this medicine every day.”

“Can you get the formula for this liquid medicine?”

“I’m afraid not. The prescription is a top secret in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Not to mention our spies, even the senior elders can’t get access to it.”

Qian Renxue’s fingers tapped the table from time to time, and the wrinkles on her brows could not be wiped away.

“That is to say, even if we get the liquid medicine, it won’t have any effect? ​​Should this liquid medicine only be effective after long-term soaking?”

A trace of embarrassment flashed across She Lan’s face.

“Young Master, at present, this is indeed the case.”

“Humph, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is really amazing. They can even produce this kind of medicine? We must find a way to get it. This thing can more than double the strength of the Spirit Hall in a few decades. If it is kept in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, it will only be a waste of resources. They don’t have the ambition to dominate the continent.”

“Understood young master, I will find a way.”

“Ah.”

After a whole year of hard training, Ning Bei plans to relax himself.

I have nothing to do today, so I go to the brothel and wander around Qibao City.

There happened to be an auction today, and Ning Bei planned to go and look for some interesting items. His own piggy bank was also full, so he decided to spend some money to create currency circulation.

In the end, it all goes into your own pocket anyway.

I didn’t bring Xiaotao with me on this trip because I was afraid that this girl would drag me to a clothing store.

A man came to the door of the Chamber of Commerce, showed his token to the guard, and was then respectfully invited to the private room he had stayed in before by the steward who called him over.

Still as neat and luxurious as before, and the legs are also very white.

With the maid’s excellent service, the auction began.

Ya Fei, the figure that had not been seen for a long time, also appeared on the booth.

After a round of opening remarks, the auction items were unveiled one by one.

As expected, Ning Bei’s first and second grade elixirs were still snapped up by the mercenaries. After all, they were consumables and they had to be bought again if they were good enough.

However, Ning Bei was somewhat disappointed with the auction items this time. They were not the jewelry and clothing that noble gentlemen were interested in, nor were they maids and medicines, which he had no shortage of.

It was not until the auction was almost over that a cart was pushed onto the stand. Ning Bei became interested after listening to Ya Fei’s introduction. “The next auction item is a phantom dream butterfly that has cultivated for a hundred years. This kind of soul beast has the ability to hypnotize and cause hallucinations. Moreover, a phantom dream butterfly that has cultivated for a hundred years is quite rare! They will basically become food for various insect-type soul beasts within ten years.”

After introducing the products, the red cloth covering the cart was unveiled, and a butterfly with colorful wings appeared in the crystal display box.

The butterfly was about half a meter long and was huddled in a corner of the box.

What’s strange is that the main part of this butterfly actually looks like a human body.

It’s just a few dozen sizes smaller than a normal human, only the size of a palm.

In Ning Bei’s impression, apart from those soul beasts that have transformed, the only soul beast that has transformed is the Snow Emperor in the Far North, whose true form is that of a human. All of them are special beings.

This phantom dream butterfly has only been cultivating for a hundred years, and it is obviously not capable of transforming into a human form.

Ning Bei had also read about this kind of soul beast in the atlas. Its ability was to create illusions, but the ten-year-old Phantom Dream Butterfly could only be used to add some interest to the atmosphere. It was very popular among noble lords.

A hundred years old can’t be that strong, otherwise he wouldn’t have been captured here.

But Ning Bei possesses Danta. If this dream butterfly can be cultivated to the level of a thousand or ten thousand years, then this hallucinogenic ability will have great potential.

As a humanoid soul beast, Ning Bei doesn’t believe that it has no potential to cultivate to a higher level. It’s just that the combat effectiveness of the young Phantom Dream Butterfly is really hard to describe, and for mantis and spider soul beasts, the Dream Butterfly seems to taste quite good, which leads to its scarcity.

To put it another way, even if the ten thousand year old phantom dream butterfly does not have much ability, Ning Bei will only lose some gold soul coins, which is almost zero cost for him.

Just as Ning Bei was thinking, Ya Fei on the stage started the auction of the Phantom Dream Butterfly.

“This Phantom Dream Butterfly has a starting price of 5000 gold soul coins. Each bid increase must not be less than 1000. Distinguished guests may start bidding.”

“6000 gold soul coins.”

“7000”

“.”

“16000 Gold Soul Coins”

It has to be said that the nobles were very good at buying this century-old phantom dream butterfly. It didn’t take long for the price to reach 16000 gold soul coins, and the price was getting higher and higher.

As expected, the price continued to rise to 23000 gold soul coins before it stopped.

“Okay, VIP No. 92 bids 23000 gold soul coins. Is there a higher price?”

“23000 gold soul coins once.”

“23000 gold soul coins twice.”

Seeing that no one was bidding anymore, Ning Bei in the box waved to the maid beside her.

“Oh! The VIP in Box 1 bid 3 gold soul coins. He is really rich.”

“One million gold soul coins per time.”

“One million gold soul coins twice.”

“3 gold soul coins three times.”

Congratulations to the VIP in Box 1 for receiving this century-old Phantom Dream Butterfly.

Amid the cursing of the nobles below, Ning Bei gained ownership of the butterfly.

He curled his lips and complained:
“What a bunch of old perverts, all they know how to do is squander the natural resources.”

But when Ning Bei was complaining, he didn’t notice that the maid next to him was looking at him with contempt.
