Chapter 45 Illusion Effect
The last item to be auctioned was a thousand-year-old left arm soul bone. Its appearance immediately caused a stir in the auction hall. Mercenaries and noble lords emptied their savings to start bidding. After a while, the price of this soul bone was called out to 60 gold soul coins.

Ning Bei secretly smacked his lips, but at the same time, he felt a little disdainful. With the soul bones given by the Silver Dragon King in hand, he wouldn’t even look at this thousand-year soul bone.

Finally, this soul bone was obtained by a noble at the price of 70 gold soul coins. Seeing some desperate criminals around him looking at him with a slightly unfriendly expression, the noble called his guards and hurried to the backstage.

I think they wanted to complete the transaction in advance so that they could leave directly. Seeing this, some mercenaries exchanged glances with each other and quietly left the auction house.

Ning Bei had a panoramic view of all of this from a high place, and he sighed in his heart that the soul bone was worthy of the name of the treasure of the Blood River. Once someone discovered that they had the soul bone, there would definitely be a bloody storm, even if it was only a thousand-year-old soul bone that he despised.

After the auction, Ning Bei contacted the head of the Chamber of Commerce and asked him to send Phantom Dream Butterfly directly back to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. He did not want to release Danta and put away the soul beast in front of so many people.

After wandering around the city for a while, Ning Bei returned to the sect, and Ning Fengzhi called him to the study.

“Belle, I heard that you took a picture of a phantom dream butterfly? You and Yanzi are still young, right? Do you need to use this thing?”

Ning Bei looked at Ning Fengzhi with sympathy, with a frown on his face.

“Father, you misunderstood. I just took a fancy to Little Butterfly’s ability and wanted to enrich the fighting methods of the soul beast team.”

Ning Fengzhi suddenly realized what Ning Bei meant.

“Do you want to cultivate it to the point of a thousand or ten thousand years, and then see if its hallucinogenic ability can help you fight?”

“That’s right. In my opinion, it’s not that the Phantom Dream Butterfly has no potential to cultivate to a higher level. It’s just that its strength is too weak in its infancy and it has too many natural enemies. As a result, its number is too small, so it’s hard to find a specimen.”

Ning Fengzhi looked at Ning Bei with satisfaction. As long as his son didn’t focus all his attention on that, he would still support his son’s idea.

“Then you can give it a try. Even if the effect is not good, there is no loss. Of course, don’t delay your own practice.”

“I understand, Father.”

Ning Bei found the Phantom Dream Butterfly that was sent to the sect, collected it with Danta, and walked towards his residence.

After arriving at his room, Ning Bei released it again, only to see a miniature girl with a pair of colorful wings, staring at Ning Bei with her ignorant big eyes.

Then he quickly hid under the bed as if he was frightened.

“You’re still a coward, but I have a way to control you.”

Ning Bei placed Danta outside the gap under the bed, and the fragrance of Danta floated in through the gap.

In just a few seconds, the timid butterfly girl reappeared in Ning Bei’s sight, staring at Danta with her big, bright eyes, unable to look away.

Just as Ning Bei expected, the soul beast couldn’t resist the temptation of the fragrance of the elixir. Look, the little guy’s hada was about to flow out.

The little wings flapped slowly, and it came to the edge of the Dan Tower. It hugged the tower and began to rub its little face against it.

I poked the tiny body with my hand, but there was no response.

“Good man, you don’t know how to be scared at all.”

Ning Bei had no choice but to take back the Danta when he saw the rare thing disappear. The little guy stood there in a daze, tears seemed to flow from his eyes.

After a while, he realized that Ning Bei was still beside him and immediately prepared to hide under the bed again.

“Wait, if you keep hiding, you won’t get any share of the Danxiang in the future.”

He didn’t think the little guy could understand her, but he still threatened her out of habit.

But something unexpected happened. After hearing what Ning Bei said, the Phantom Dream Butterfly trembled slightly, then stopped in the air, turned around and looked at him with a wronged look. “Hmm? Can you understand what I said?”

The little guy nodded timidly, putting his hands in his lap, looking very nervous.

Upon seeing this, Ning Bei thought to himself that the humanoid soul beast should not be underestimated. Its intelligence alone was enough to be praised.

“Little guy, relax. I won’t hurt you. You’ve just felt the benefits of Danta. Why don’t you live in it from now on?”

It seemed to have discovered that Ning Bei really had no ill will towards it. After feeling a little relieved, it nodded its little head and agreed to the home that Ning Bei had arranged for it.

Ning Bei smiled with satisfaction when he saw the little guy agreed.

“Very well, little one. Now use your powers on me, okay? Let me see the extent of this illusion.”

Upon hearing this, the Phantom Dream Butterfly’s wings flickered and its eyes stared straight at Ning Bei.

The world around Ning Bei became dim. After a few seconds, the world became bright again and several figures appeared beside him.

“cough, cough”

Those figures almost made Ning Bei lose his mind.

Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue (female version), Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing appeared beside Ning Bei one after another. They were wearing very cool clothes, as if they could not afford to buy fabrics!
Knowing that these were all hallucinations, Ning Bei silently felt the intensity of the illusion, shook his head slightly, and the furnishings of the room reappeared before his eyes.

“The strength is really not that high. My mental strength has been strengthened by Wangchuanqiushuilu. I really need to be on guard. The impact of these illusions on me can be ignored.”

However, Ning Bei was not disappointed. When he wanted to buy it, he was already prepared in his heart. He was just waiting to see what it would be like after reaching a thousand years or ten thousand years of cultivation.

“Little guy, not bad. I roughly understand your strength. You must practice well in Danta in the future, okay? Otherwise, I will let Ah Zhu play with you. By the way, I will give you a name, let’s call you Xiaodie.”

Xiaodie looked at Ning Bei in a daze. She understood that if she practiced well, she would understand, but who was Ah Zhu?

As if he had read its mind, Ning Bei put on a sly smile, and Danta flashed, and Azhu’s figure appeared in the room.

When Xiaodie saw such a huge human-faced demon spider, she was so frightened that she even forgot to run away. She fell to the ground and began to tremble.

Its grandmother once said that its grandfather was eaten by a human-faced demon spider.

Ah Zhu was still a little confused when she was summoned, but suddenly she saw the little one in front of her, tears flowed from the corners of her mouth. The eight spider legs moved slightly and walked towards Xiaodie.

Seeing this scene, Phantom Dream Butterfly became even more frightened, and snot and tears burst out all at once.

Ning Bei watched this scene with amusement. It seemed that the little butterfly was indeed a delicious delicacy for spiders. Seeing that the little guy was frightened, he hurriedly stopped the actions of the human-faced demon spider.

“Okay, Ah Zhu, don’t scare it. After the period, the little guy will also be our companion.”

“Hiss.”

After understanding Ning Bei’s idea, the human-faced demon spider seemed a little dissatisfied and protested.

You want me to be teammates with a plate of food?
Ning Bei understood Ah Zhu’s dissatisfaction, but he didn’t care.

“It is indeed very weak now, but who knows what will happen in the future? Well, go back now. I will give you a few more soft-bone rabbits to eat next time. Forget about this little guy.”

After comforting the little guy for a while, Xiaodie and Azhu were taken back to Danta, of course, separately.
