Chapter 647: Catching Butterflies
y.Upon hearing these inside stories, Qin Sang finally understood their origins.It's no wonder the Four Saints have such a high reputation, worthy of being revered by humanity to this day.Thank you for...Only the last ember of crimson gold remained, placed by Qin Sang in a fissure between stones on the bank of a small stream.
As dawn approached but had not yet arrived, it was the time when the sky was at its darkest.
The Butterfly Valley, which had been bustling all night, now seemed to have a touch of tranquility.
A group of butterflies flew over the creek.
Suddenly, all the butterflies above this small stream froze in mid-air, maintaining their dancing posture, suspended motionless.
Time seems to stop here.
The next moment, a figure appeared on the bank of the stream.

Qin Sang's gaze swept over the butterflies, then turned to the stones on the riverbank. After a moment of hesitation, he reached out and beckoned. A butterfly shaped like a cabbage white emerged from the crack in the stone.
It is very small. Its snowy white wings have some black spots, and it is the most common type of butterfly.
It was terrified and fled blindly, but it seemed to be trapped in an invisible cage, blocked on all sides and unable to escape. It was brought before Qin Sang.
Qin Sang stared at the cabbage white butterfly. Even so close, he couldn't see any flaws.
He could be certain, this was the Heavenly Eye Butterfly!
The moment he sensed the disappearance of the red fire gold, he used his divine sense to seal off this space. There were no butterflies in the stone crevice originally, until the space was sealed, this cabbage butterfly suddenly appeared.
Only the Tianmu butterfly has such powerful concealment and camouflage abilities.
"Finally caught a spirit bug, that wasn't easy."
Qin Sang secretly sighed with emotion. After running to six places without complaint, he finally had some gains, otherwise, he would probably have to go back with only a silly silkworm.
Even though Qin Sang had caught the Tianmu Butterfly, he wasn't in a hurry to refine it into a natal insect. There were still two other places he hadn't visited; perhaps there were even better options there.
Recalling the Yuling Sect's restrictions on imprisoning spirit worms, Qin Sang chose one and cast a series of seals onto the Tianmu butterfly.
The Tianmu butterfly has not yet given up struggling.
It seemed to sense the danger of the prohibition, struggled for a while, seeing futility, becoming increasingly agitated, and changing its form again into a beautiful phoenix butterfly, trying to bluff its way past.
The rate of change is very fast. The cabbage white butterfly disappears in an instant, and the swallowtail butterfly appears next. If you're not paying attention, it's hard to notice.
Qin Sang smiled faintly. After all, it was just a spiritual worm with undeveloped wisdom; too naive.
This now confirms the identity of the Tianmu butterfly.
After a while, the restriction was complete, Cai Fendie abandoned her disguise and returned to her true form.
“The second-stage Heavenly Eye Butterfly... seems to be in the later stage of its second transformation. No wonder its concealment ability is so strong.”
Qin Sang controlled the Caifen Butterfly to land on his fingertip.
As described in ancient texts, the Heavenly Eye Butterfly is breathtakingly beautiful. It seems to bathe in azure light, and any butterfly in the Butterfly Valley pales in comparison to its splendor.
The wings of the Tianmu butterfly have concentric circular patterns that resemble eye designs. Once it completes its third molt, the Tianmu will open.

Qin Sang fed a few drops of spirit fruit sap to the Heavenly Eye Butterfly, released the other butterflies, and looked back at the beautiful Butterfly Valley one last time before leaving contentedly.
The Hundred-legged Village.
The name is strange, but it's quite famous in the western regions.
The Xiong Shan region is located in a remote area in the northwest corner of Xi Jiang, a barren land that other cultivators are unwilling to go to. Baizu Village is located in the southern part of the Xiong Shan region, far away. It is the largest and most powerful village in the Xiong Shan region that can be reached.
Nearby cultivators from the Wu clan would choose to conduct business and gather information at Bai Zhuzhai.
This is equivalent to the market of a cultivator's world in the Xiaohan domain.
Qin Sang was covered in dust and grime, appearing at the foot of Bai Zu Zhai mountain. He looked up towards the summit.
The Hundred Foot Clan's base was as large as a city, with numerous stilt houses clustered together, all bearing distinct Wuzhu architectural styles. They occupied the entire mountain range, dwarfing the Biyi Huizi Clan by many times over.
The market is built on the highest peak of Bai Zhuzhai. Some factions and guilds from Xi Jiang have established bases in Bai Zhuzhai, including the guild that Cui Xuanzi contacts most frequently.

By this time, more than a month had passed since Qin Sang left Butterfly Valley.
As expected, the next two places were both empty, with no spirit worms. Qin Sang didn't want to continue wandering aimlessly in the wilderness, so he directly flew back on his sword.
Qin Sang's trip this time, including travel and capturing spirit insects, took nearly four months. He only brought back a clumsy silkworm and a sky-eyed butterfly, even though he had the Scarlet Fire Gold-Embroidery.

Of course, this is also related to his high requirements.
After returning, Qin Sang didn't rush back to the Xiong Shan region, but first came to Bai Zhuzhai.
Before leaving, Qin Sang had visited Baizhi Village and met with some managers from the trading guild. Half of the information about these nine kinds of spirit insects came from them.
Before leaving, Qin Sang paid a large sum of spirit stones in advance, asking them to use their family's channels to investigate some matters.
Four months should be enough time for them to gather information.
Qin Sang put on his hood and activated the Tunling Jue, disguising himself as a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage.
He was new to the place, carrying many secrets with him. As a human, he didn't want to interact with the witch cultivators who were more powerful than him too early, lest they use some means to see through his true nature, which would be very dangerous.
Those who are not of my race must have different hearts.
This sentence is even more vividly portrayed in the Canglang Sea.
The feud between the Witch Clan and the Human Clan has never ceased. After Qin Sang left Xijang and came into contact with the Human Clan, they dared to act recklessly. However, within the territory of the Witch Clan, it's still best to keep a low profile.
It is said that the chieftain of Bai Zhuzhai is a master at the Jindan stage, but this person's cave abode is not in the village. Qin Sang used the Tun Ling Jue and was not afraid of being seen through by others.
Having disguised himself, Qin Sang walked up the mountain. Along the way, he encountered other cultivators, most of whom hurried by.
After entering the Hundred-Legged Tribe's village, Qin Sang, familiar with the place, came to a very imposing wooden building.
Above the wooden building hung the name of the Baishan Chamber of Commerce.
Qin Sang paused slightly before striding into the wooden building. The hall was filled with various magical implements and spirit pills. A dozen or so female servants of the Wu tribe, exuding an exotic charm, were present.
Having displayed the cultivation of the foundation-building stage, Qin Sang then met Bai Guan, the manager of Baishan Merchant Guild.

"Fellow cultivator, have you returned from searching for the insects Have you had any success"
Bai Guan remembers Qin Sang, after all, not many people make such strange requests.
“The old man stayed in the two places Bai Guan said for almost two months, not even seeing a single spirit insect. Bai Guan thought how many I could catch”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang feigned anger, her tone unkind.
Bai Guan was not flustered, sipping tea and smiling: “Friend Daoist, won’t you remember This old man warned you beforehand. The list of spirit insects you gave me was too strange, mostly those at the bottom of the Wuzhong list. This kind of spirit insect is only used by the disciples of those powerful sects on the mountaintop as their natal insect gu. Few people in Xi Jiang look for them, so the information cannot be guaranteed to be accurate. Friend Daoist returning empty-handed was actually within expectations, why get angry”
Qin Sang let out a cold snort, without continuing to dwell on it, asked: “Have you found any results regarding the information I asked you to investigate”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!the seal and venture inside.”"To my surprise, I saw hope in the cultivation technique "Heavenly Demon Transformation." There is no need to venture into the sealed land, and fellow Daoist, you don't ha...
