Chapter 139: Suiyue Crystal Butterfly, Wangshu Race_2
It's now a "Moon-controlling Spirit Insect."
The Flint Fire's heat within it has completely gathered into the small bud on top of its head, while its body is enveloped in the cool chill of the Moon-controlling Spirit Fire.
They continue to spew flames, their plump bodies wriggling within the fire, seemingly in a state of bliss.
Well, at least there's no need to worry about the fire source.
However...
Li Ye watched those Flint Fire Crystal Insects and couldn't shake the feeling that their movements against the Silver Moon Grass were rather suggestive.
The spiritual liquid of the Flint Fire Crystal Insects and the spiritual power of the Silver Moon Grass began to merge.
Upon witnessing this, he realized he was about to witness the "spectacle" of spiritual insects and spirit plants breeding again.
Is the panel's strongest ability matchmaking, allowing unrelated spirit plants and spirit beasts to intertwine and even produce offspring?
The Flint Fire Crystal Insects and Silver Moon Grass were his earliest spirit beasts and spirit plants, so he was quite curious about what kind of species they could produce. Thus, he excused himself to Su Ya and hurried over.
Sitting atop a snow pile, he watched as the Flint Fire Crystal Insects wriggled faster, clearly seeing small "beads" dropping from the ends of their tails.
As they fell onto the snow, the beads began to crack open, revealing butterfly wings of deep Flint Fire hues, while their bodies took on a silvery-white, translucent form of crystal butterflies.
They fluttered lightly on wings made of flame, dancing around and leaving trails of moonlit light like fine grains of sand.
[Name]: Suiyue Crystal Butterfly
[Mood]: None
[Condition]: Born from the interaction of Flint Fire and Moon-controlling Spirit Fire, they will live perpetually under the moon and in fire-enriched environments.
"It's quite odd for insects and grass to produce a butterfly."
Li Ye extended a finger toward the Suiyue Crystal Butterfly, which immediately flew over, landing lightly on his fingertip. The warmth of the Flint Fire and the coolness of Moonlight presented a juxtaposition of ice and fire.
"What use do you have?"
He softly inquired.
The little creature was clearly sentient and perhaps even quite intelligent. Upon hearing Li Ye's voice, it began to flutter its wings and soar.
The moonlight mingled with the Flint Fire on its body, releasing tiny crystal grains like rice.
As it shrank rapidly...
It suddenly disappeared completely.
The aura vanished entirely.
"Huh?"
"Did it exchange its life for these crystals?"
Li Ye was slightly moved, though he had only just met these little creatures—offspring of the Flint Fire Crystal Insects and Silver Moon Grass that he had nurtured for so long.
Describing it as watching over a grandson might not be entirely fitting, yet seeing them disappear was undeniably saddening.
It seemed to be a new species.
What was the purpose of what they exchanged their lives for?
Li Ye reached out to grasp the crystals on the snow, but before he could, the surrounding moonlight suddenly grew brighter.
A bright moon once again emerged in the sky.
"..."
"Huh?"
Are you appearing for the third time?
This rendered Li Ye rather speechless.
The moonlight quickly descended, falling onto those crystals on the ground.
The spiritual power exuding from the crystals was drawn by the moonlight, slowly sketching out a moon roughly the size of a millstone in the air.
It replaced the pervasive moonlight in the Moonlight Spirit Land, imbued with a cold divinity.
The deceased Suiyue Crystal Butterflies were resurrected by its light, their luster and spiritual power transformed into a more formidable force.
A moon-colored halo appeared around the Suiyue Crystal Butterflies.
As they flapped their wings and danced around, the moonlight shone brightly on the snow and trees.
Li Ye could sense that the moonlight within the Moonlight Spirit Land had noticeably increased.
The suffix of the Suiyue Crystal Butterflies' names had gained the addition of [Wangshu Race].
Meaning, these little creatures were now blessed by Lord Wangshu.
...
Following a period of observation, Li Ye could now confirm that the moonlight emanating from the Suiyue Crystal Butterflies originated from the "moon" that hovered perpetually in the sky.
The moon transmitted its power to them, and through the halos around their bodies, it spread the moonlight throughout the entire spirit land.
The moonlight they scattered was far superior in purity compared to the moonlight supply from the Moonlight Spirit Land that Li Ye had purchased.
The immediate effect was their ability to continuously release moonlight, emitting Flint Fire and Moon-controlling Spirit Fire, while intermittently producing those crystals.
The spiritual power within the crystals consisted of Flint Fire and Moon-controlling Spirit Fire, serving as fuel for fire sources, further refining and enhancing their spiritual power.
Upon arriving at these conclusions, Li Ye glanced at the sky, fingers clasping a small paper sheet made of moonlight.
Written on it: Pills are endlessly beneficial, reward.
Upon seeing this, Li Ye had no trouble realizing that it was his remark about the insufficient production of Moon-controlling Spirit Fire earlier, leading Lord Wangshu to respond with blessings and developing a race under his guidance.
"It seems the quality of these pills is exceptionally good."
"I'll really have to discuss with Senior Brother Su Ya, because if the supply of these pills dwindles, Lord Wangshu might become angry..."
"Moreover, with it being months now, shouldn't the Silver Moon Grass in the marketplace be ready for harvest?"
To cultivate the Spiritual Mechanism Vine, Li Ye had secluded himself for nearly three months, nearly spanning the entire winter, and now he should go out and tend to some concerning matters.
