I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 52 - 8: Pill Fire Artifact Refining, Butterfly Demon Blade

Chapter 52: Chapter 8: Pill Fire Artifact Refining, Butterfly Demon Blade

The sun was high in the sky, indicating it’s noon.

When Li Boyang emerged from the cave at Ghost God Cliff in the back mountain.

The scorching sunlight happened to illuminate the mist over Feilai Peak, making it gleam brilliantly.

He leisurely walked from the back mountain’s winding path to the Mountain God Temple.

Li Boyang’s attention was inevitably drawn to a swamp nearby.

The swamp wasn’t naturally formed but polluted by concentrated Evil Qi.

Deep within the swamp lay the corpse of a Nai Fu, once slain by Li Boyang, now decayed to incomplete bones.

Theoretically, very few plants can root and proliferate in such harsh conditions.

Yet life is considered a "miracle" because it finds its way.

"Is that... a morning glory?"

At this moment, Li Boyang’s eyes noticed a pink flower just budding.

Disregarding its environment, it looked exactly like a morning glory from Li Boyang’s impression.

"Plants actually grow in such a ghostly place?"

His gaze shifted from the morning glory to the marsh, and a thought suddenly crossed Li Boyang’s mind.

If conventional breeding methods could no longer make breakthroughs in quality.

Could miraculous Primordial Qi help a species break through its limits?

With this thought, Li Boyang couldn’t help but approach the morning glory and reached out his hand.

Click!

At that moment, the morning glory suddenly flipped its petals, revealing sharp teeth hidden inside.

Caught off guard, Li Boyang’s finger was bitten by the morning glory.

"Did it... ignore my Body-Protecting Sword Qi?"

This unexpected scene left Li Boyang momentarily stunned.

But even more bizarre, although blood seeped from his finger, Li Boyang felt no pain whatsoever.

On the contrary, a strange tingling sensation was spreading from the wound throughout Li Boyang’s body.

In his mind, he seemed to have a pleasant hallucination.

[Is this thing poisonous!?]

This thought flashed through his mind, and the Primordial Qi within Li Boyang’s body surged vigorously.

Since transferring the curse from the Nai Fu to a shadow, Li Boyang’s body contained only pure Life Essence Qi.

While Life Essence Qi might not be as violent and powerful as Evil Qi,

it exhibited efficient self-healing properties against invading toxins.

"Phew!"

In just a blink, his enhanced immune system had expelled the neurotoxin from Li Boyang’s body.

As he exhaled a foul breath, Li Boyang could clearly smell an incessant stench from his mouth.

"A sinister land blooms a dazzling flower, truly not to be underestimated."

Looking at the morning glory still clamped tightly onto his finger, Li Boyang couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Fortunately, due to the dual reinforcement of Life Essence Qi and Earth Vein Evil Qi, the morning glory hadn’t bitten off his finger.

Even so, the aggressiveness of the morning glory left Li Boyang astonished.

To ignore his Body-Protecting Sword Qi, penetrate flesh akin to steel, coupled with hallucinogenic-like neurotoxins...

If this morning glory were thrown outside, it would undoubtedly stand at the top of the food chain as a super plant.

...........................

A moment later, in the courtyard of the temple priest at the Mountain God Temple.

"What’s with your look?"

Xiluo, basking in the sun in the courtyard, immediately saw Li Boyang with his finger bitten by a morning glory.

Now, not only had Li Boyang uprooted the morning glory,

he also carried a pile of soil just dug from the swamp.

The sight was so bizarre that Xiluo couldn’t find the right words to express her feelings.

"I just discovered an interesting plant, planning to transplant it into the courtyard."

Nonchalantly waving his hand, Li Boyang adeptly walked to a corner of the courtyard, burying the morning glory along with the soil.

"Where’s Big Girl? Where is she now?"

While busying with his planting task, he didn’t forget to look back for Li Jingshu...

Before Li Boyang’s words trailed off, he saw Li Jingshu stealthily emerge from the study with her back to them.

"Li Jingshu?"

Watching Li Jingshu’s flustered manner, a sense of foreboding arose in Li Boyang’s heart.

"Ah!"

As expected, without any surprise to Li Boyang.

A startled Li Jingshu quickly turned around, holding a Butterfly Knife.

The Butterfly Knife twirled and spun between her fingers, showcasing its agile yet inherently dangerous nature.

"I recall I mentioned not to play with such dangerous blades, didn’t I?"

That Butterfly Knife wasn’t an ordinary one.

A year ago, Li Boyang attempted to extract Pill Fire from the Prison Soul Tripod and used it to forge this weapon separately.

The blade was crafted from the meteorite iron of an Er Tu, while the handle was made from the horns of an Exotic Beast.

At the formation of this Butterfly Knife, Li Boyang faintly heard beast-like roars.

He once tried to analyze the Pill Fire’s influence on the Butterfly Knife. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

The results only concluded, "This is a knife of ordinary material."

The only thing Li Boyang could ascertain was that the Butterfly Knife was undoubtedly not simple—most likely a Demon Blade.

After all, though Pill Fire couldn’t directly enhance the material properties like Evil Qi Fire, it certainly wasn’t mere Mortal Fire.

"Um... I was just looking... just a look..."

Guiltily, Li Jingshu hid the Butterfly Knife behind her, not daring to meet Li Boyang’s eyes.

"That knife is dangerous..."

Seeing this, Li Boyang could only sigh softly and emphasize again.

"However, if you can maintain a constant state of Qi flow, I could let you have this knife."

As long as Li Jingshu could keep Qi flowing through her body, it would naturally form a layer of Body-Protecting Gang Qi.

By then, even if she accidentally got injured by the Butterfly Knife, it would never breach the defense of her Body-Protecting Gang Qi.

"Alright! It’s a deal!"

Hearing this, Li Jingshu replied with eyes glistening.

This was Li Boyang’s specially devised "carrot and stick" teaching method for Li Jingshu.

In practice, this method always proved effective with Li Jingshu.

This naive girl simply couldn’t resist the allure of the "carrot," and this time was no exception.

"Alright, go have something to eat first, it’s time for your literature class."

Standing up slowly, Li Boyang’s words successfully deflated Li Jingshu’s cheerful expression.

"Eh? Is it noon already?"
