Chapter 647: Chapter 647: The Shocking Appearance of the Qi Refinement Realm (Second Update)

Wang Haifeng took two steps back and stepped on a ginseng root.

At that moment, the white shadow revealed its true form, a white butterfly.

Spread wide, its wings were roughly the size of an opened book of thirty-two font pages, with patterns that were faintly visible.

Most eerie of all, the butterfly actually had a human face, only with a slightly sharper mouth.

Upon seeing Wang Haifeng step on the ginseng again, anger increasingly twisted the humanized face of the white butterfly. It flapped its wings and charged at Wang Haifeng like an arrow.

Unless one saw it with their own eyes, it would be hard to believe that such a tiny butterfly could possess such immense strength.

Wang Haifeng, having stepped on the ginseng, nearly lost his balance and staggered sideways. But at that moment, Guo Haiyun’s Nine Section Whip lashed out, striking fiercely at the butterfly in mid-air, “Scram!”

He had been practicing internal martial arts since childhood, especially proficient with spears and the Nine Section Whip. He had even whipped sparrows out of the air, and though not every attempt hit its mark, hitting such a large butterfly should not have been a miss.

He did indeed strike the butterfly, but to everyone else’s clear view, the white butterfly fluttered its wings and deflected the whip to one side.

Following that, an extremely subtle yet piercingly sharp sound emitted from the mouth of the butterfly.

Except for Feng Jun, the other four violently quivered, with Elder Guo the worst affected, clutching his head as he crouched down on the ground.

Feng Jun also felt the strain, but he was better off. The sound mainly targeted divine sense, and his was as firm as that of a cultivator in the dust-free phase.

“Be careful!” he shouted, “This creature’s cultivation level has reached the Qi Refinement Realm!”

After the butterfly let out a sound, it flapped its wings, and suddenly, a thick fog emerged over the entire Spirit Fields.

Almost at the same moment, thunder struck viciously at the fog.

Then the butterfly met its tragic end, plummeting to the ground.

Nearly as soon as the fog had emerged, it disappeared without a trace.

The four who had been attacked by the butterfly’s cry took a long while to recover. Guo Haiyun couldn’t help exclaiming, “A butterfly… in the Qi Refinement Realm?”

In contemporary Huaxia, apart from Luohua Manor, it was uncertain if there were any cultivators at the Qi Refinement Realm. And now you’re telling me a butterfly… has cultivated to the Qi Refinement Realm?

No sooner had he spoken than another bolt of lightning struck directly onto the ground, as the butterfly struggled to take off but was hit again.

Feng Jun had no interest in keeping pets, and this butterfly was particularly vicious; he truly intended to kill it with one strike.

But after his initial attack, the butterfly managed to struggle to fly, forcing him to strike again.

Then, two talismans appeared in his hand as he vigilantly looked left and right, fearing the butterfly might have companions.

Fortunately, there were no more anomalies in the area.

Guo Haiyun slowly walked over, looking at the still twitching butterfly on the ground, “Can we… capture it?”

A master of the Qi Refinement Realm, even if it were a butterfly, could one day become a treasure that protects the Weiyu Lineage.

From afar, Feng Jun’s cold voice came, “Keep your distance, it still has the capacity to fight.”

“Holy shit,” Guo Haiyun stepped back, pulling a set of brass knuckles from his pocket and fitting them onto his hand.

“Hold up,” Elder Guo spoke up as he slowly approached, with blood seeping from the corner of his eyes.

Seeing this, Guo Haiyun jumped in shock, “Dad, what happened to you?”

“It’s nothing, just a bit of pressure on the eye,” Elder Guo said nonchalantly waving his hand, then looked towards the butterfly on the ground and ventured, “Is it Hua Jun?”

The butterfly, which had been half-dead on the ground, upon hearing these words, suddenly braced itself on all six legs, standing up with its wings held high, and the humanized face revealed an extremely fierce expression.

Seeing its reaction, Elder Guo asked another question, “Is it Hua Jun, or a descendant of Hua Jun?”

The wings of the butterfly trembled, and as it opened its mouth, a dense white fog sprayed towards the four people before it.

However, just as the white fog emerged, another bolt of lightning struck down, and the butterfly collapsed once again, its six legs all kneeling as black char marked its white wings.

At the same time, the white fog vanished abruptly, as if it had never been there.

“Holy shit,” Guo Haiyun couldn’t help but curse again, “This is really… truly at the Qi Refinement Realm.”

In his memory, Feng Jun’s Falling Thunder Technique knocked even the notorious Blood Jiao King to its knees, yet this butterfly still managed to struggle and fly after three strikes, showing only a slight charring. Such a formidable creature truly deserved to be spoken of as being in the Qi Refinement Realm.

Upon hearing this, the butterfly fiercely glowered at him. A butterfly should have compound eyes, but this human-faced butterfly instead possessed almond-shaped eyes that lifted slightly at the corners, reminiscent of phoenix eyes.

In short, because it had human eyes, its glaring expression was very pronounced.

“Haiyun, don’t talk nonsense,” Elder Guo quickly stopped his son, then stepped forward and bowed to the butterfly, “May I ask if you are the esteemed Flower Monarch?”

The butterfly gave him a white eye, closed its eyes, and didn’t respond, clearly accumulating power.

Feng Jun’s hands formed the Thunder Decree as he spoke up, “You all might want to step back. This butterfly is an exotic species, somewhat akin to a spirit plant shepherd… Its physical strength may be weak, but it possesses a talent for spellcasting.”

Wang Haifeng took two steps back, his mouth twitching slightly, “Call this physical strength weak? Master, you haven’t clashed with it.”

After advancing to martial master, his confidence was through the roof. He had bested Di Aixin in arm-wrestling, acquired a Storage Talisman, and felt that he could go anywhere in this vast world.

Yet, faced with this tiny butterfly, when he tried to block it with his hand axe, he was knocked back two whole steps, making him question his life—Is this really a butterfly? Di Aixin probably only had this much strength, right?

“Master Feng could certainly subdue it with ease,” Sister Hong wouldn’t stand to hear any bad words about Feng Jun, and then she asked, “Elder Guo, what does Flower Monarch mean?”

But Elder Guo was looking at Feng Jun, “May I ask elder, what is a spirit plant shepherd?”

“They are plant spirits or earth sprites that specially look after spirit fields,” Feng Jun answered offhand, “Of course, it can also be worms, like earthworms for instance.”

In the Mobile Phone Realm, such beings do exist, though they are not commonly seen. The Earth Realm… he hadn’t really considered it possible here.

The butterfly’s belly quivered, as if to say—Have you ever seen an earthworm as beautiful as I am?

“I fear this one may not be a spirit plant shepherd,” Elder Guo spoke solemnly, “but more likely a Gu Insect under the protection of Weiyu Cave Heaven…”

“Squeak…” Upon hearing this, the butterfly made a sound, still of a bewitching nature, though somewhat weaker.

However, what was strange was that everyone could feel its severe dissatisfaction with Elder Guo’s statement.

“Well, I’m not very familiar with the specifics,” Elder Guo decisively confessed ignorance, “It’s merely hearsay…”

It is said that a thousand years ago, the Gu cultivators of Miaojiang turned against their own kin, and one of them fled to Weiyu Cave Heaven, seeking the protection of the Daoist Sects.

Weiyu Cave Heaven protected this person, but not being one to harbor idlers, this person employing Gu Insects was more than capable of helping take care of spirit plants—loosening soil, catching insects, pollinating, and so on…

The Gu cultivator died accidentally, but her Life-bound Gu did not perish; instead, it absorbed her essence blood and metamorphosed into a butterfly.

This butterfly naturally had a human face, and after emerging from its cocoon, had already reached Great Perfection of Qi Nourishing. Its strength was immense, its wings as tough as fine steel, it particularly loved caring for plants, and countless cultivators had seen it, dubbing it “Flower Monarch”—one of Weiyu Cave Heaven’s spectacles.

Hearing this, Feng Jun nodded slightly, “It had reached Great Perfection of Qi Nourishing a thousand years ago; it’s only normal that it has now advanced in Qi Refinement.”

The Qi Nourishing realm spoken of by Earth Realm cultivators is what the Mobile Phone Realm refers to as “Transcendence.”

Still, the origins of this Flower Monarch came as quite a surprise to him. The spirit plant shepherds of the Mobile Phone Realm are born as various plant spirits and oddities. They prefer the natural way and thus can easily cultivate spirit plants, living and growing alongside other Natural Treasures.

Gu Insects of the Earth Realm, on the other hand… are nurtured with flesh and blood, and even upon birth, they must fight their way out among hundreds of other creatures.

So he couldn’t help but ask again, “Can this creature subsist on pollen?”

Elder Guo shook his head. Knowing the phrase ‘Flower Monarch’ was hard enough for him, and he couldn’t even recall which book he had seen it in. At the time, he thought it was just a legend and remembered it simply because it was interesting.

How could he have imagined that he would encounter such a legendary creature in the secret vault of Weiyu Mountain?

Not only did it possess the cultivation level of the Qi Refinement Realm, but it had apparently… lived for nearly a thousand years?

Guo Haiyun’s eyes lit up, pondering as he looked at Feng Jun, “Elder, is it possible to subdue this creature?”

“That depends on your skills,” Feng Jun spread his hands, “I’m only responsible for finding the warehouse. I can’t be expected to help you capture the waitstaff as well. There’s no such rule… right?”

He was actually quite interested in acquiring the creature. In the Mobile Phone Realm’s Cultivation World, spirit plant shepherds were quite rare. Although humans could also cultivate spirit plants, plant spirits had stronger affinities with them and were thus more suitable for overseeing high-grade spirit plants.

According to Shangguan Yunjin, Wuyou Platform even had two Transcendence-stage shepherds. They weren’t strong in combat but were excellent guardians of the place.

In short, this was yet another item worth quite a few Spirit Stones; however, only the wealthy could afford it, and average Cultivator families wouldn’t use one.

But for Feng Jun, considering acquiring such a thing was premature. It wouldn’t be too late to look for one even after he reached the Intermediate Level of Transcendence.

Moreover, spirit plant shepherds were best raised from a young age, and required various methods of communication—none of which he knew.

Feng Jun couldn’t forcibly take it, any more than he would forcibly take the Soul Stone of Maoshan, but feeling a bit of regret was inevitable.

So he declined to help capture the Flower Monarch, and the reason he gave was quite reasonable.

But Guo Haiyun was no fool. He guessed that such a creature must be exceptionally valuable, and so he spoke up, “We’ve found the secret treasure, but you’re charging a service fee… I don’t think this Flower Monarch will agree to our harvesting spirit plants, will it?”

Having become addicted to retorting Wang Haifeng, he spoke up abruptly, “Please wake up. The service fee is for locating the secret treasure… Real estate companies still won’t agree to your taking the treasure away, so should we also negotiate with Greenhouse on your behalf?”
