Chapter 645: Sky-Eyed Butterfly
Sui Dynasty. This place used to be the imperial palace of the previous dynasty, but later it was burned to ashes by the army.”Qin Sang looked at the Empress Dowager, seeing her nod slightly, and cont..."The next place is Butterfly Valley."
Qin Sang took out the map of geomancy and identified the direction.
The Butterfly Valley isn't too far from this swamp. If Gu Jian travels on his sword, he could arrive in two days.
As its name suggests, Butterfly Valley is a beautiful valley filled with countless butterflies.

Those who have been to Butterfly Valley, describe it with only one word—beauty!
Thousands of butterflies, swirling and dancing in the valley filled with blooming flowers, a beautiful sight that never ceases, throughout spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
These butterflies are all ordinary butterflies from the mortal realm, not spiritual insects. The valley is also an ordinary valley with no restrictions or spirit medicines.

At first, the cultivators who discovered Butterfly Valley also suspected that there were treasures hidden in the valley, which could attract so many butterflies and make them reluctant to leave.
They turned Butterfly Valley upside down, confirming it was an ordinary place. It was just that, due to the terrain, the spiritual energy was a bit more concentrated there, and it was sheltered from the cold wind, with four seasons like spring.
It is said that there are spirit moths, Tianmu butterflies, in the valley.
Qin Sang came for the Tianmu Butterfly, but he was hesitant about whether to use it as his natal Gu worm.

The Wu clan believes that the Heavenly-Eyed Butterfly is the most unsuitable type of insect for a soul binding. Information about the Heavenly-Eyed Butterfly in the Yu Ling Zong is also incomplete and comes from a fragmented ancient scroll.
According to the records of Yulingzong, the celestial eye butterfly is about the same size as an ordinary butterfly. Its wings are light and graceful, and its biggest feature is that its wings are very beautiful.

In the light, the wings shimmered a pale sky blue. As the Sky Peacock butterfly danced, it resembled waves of azure cresting on a vast ocean, sometimes flashing with rainbow-like brilliance.

Unfolding its wings, it seems to be surrounded by dancing waves and neon lights, beautiful as a dream.

And on its wings there are patterns resembling eyes.
Therefore, it is called the Tianmu butterfly.
In fact, the eyes on a Tianmu butterfly's wings are not merely decorative patterns. After its third molt, the eyes transform into true heavenly eyes, which is the source of its innate abilities.
The tianyem butterfly has the innate ability to hide and shapeshift even in its second molt.
If it disguises itself as an ordinary butterfly, it will not reveal the slightest flaw. Once it hides, it is said to be able to deceive even the divine consciousness search of a cultivator at the Core Formation stage.
Such a powerful talent for survival can only be used to survive.
Because the Temenite Butterfly has no other abilities besides its eye, it is as fragile as ordinary butterflies. A strong wind could easily kill a Temenite Butterfly, making it very vulnerable to death at an early age.
Relying on a keen sense of danger and the ability to shapeshift and conceal oneself, one can survive in the treacherous wilderness.

If a cultivator chooses the Heavenly Eye Butterfly as their natal insect, they will receive no help whatsoever when fighting humans before the Heavenly Eye Butterfly undergoes its third molt.
The Tianmu Die's body remains small even after its third transformation, there is no dramatic change. However, the Tianmu on its wings will evolve into divine abilities.
The Heavenly Eye Butterfly's magical powers are vaguely described in the records of Yuling Sect. It is only mentioned that one of its abilities is to see through all illusions and barriers.
The exact extent of its strength is not clearly recorded.
The Heavenly Eye Butterfly is undoubtedly capable of at least a fourth transformation, but records after the fourth transformation are scarce, with only one phrase - Legend has it that the Heavenly Eye of the Heavenly Eye Butterfly will continue to evolve.
This is the reason Qin Sang hesitated.
Qin Sang cultivated his natal insect Gu primarily to resolve the problem of the forbidden rune fragments within his body and secondly, he hoped that his natal insect Gu would be effective during the Nascent Soul stage, assisting him in breaking through.
He already has a natal spirit sword, so his fighting ability against natal insect poisons isn't the most important thing to him.
Otherwise, it would be putting the cart before the horse.
But it can't be too weak either. If it's utterly useless to oneself, yet occupies a precious natal insect-gu, and requires a massive amount of energy to cultivate, it would be a waste.
The problem with the Tianmu Butterfly is that it is inherently fragile and cannot, like the Mingchun, help in magical duels. Qin Sang also wasn't sure how powerful the Tianmu Butterfly's supernatural abilities were. He would have to wait until after its third transformation to verify.
If the power of those eye-related techniques is comparable to that of powerful spells, it will be too late to regret.
Like other strange insects on the Chi Insect List, the Heavenly Eye Butterfly is difficult to breed. It requires special methods of feeding and cultivation to accelerate its cultivation speed. This inevitably consumes a large amount of resources, requiring Qin Sang to expend energy and time to gather them.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
However, after much deliberation, Qin Sang ultimately decided to include the Sky-Gazing Butterfly in his choice.
Being able to make it onto the Insect King List, the Tianmu Butterfly's potential is undeniable.
Those highly recorded strange insects have high potential, but their transformation is difficult. In exchange for powerful talents, the Sky-Eyed Butterfly should not be much different either. It's worth a gamble.
The ability to see through illusions, if strong enough, can be very effective in many situations, especially when exploring hidden places. Moreover, this may not even be the full extent of the Celestial Eye Butterfly's powers.
If there were no better Qichong, Qin Sang would choose Tianmu Butterfly.
The premise is that you can catch it.
Two days later, Qin Sang appeared in the mountain range where Butterfly Valley was located. As he neared Butterfly Valley, Qin Sang suddenly furrowed his brow and landed on a mountain peak. He lowered his head to look at the insect basket around his waist.
A 'hissing' sound came from the insect cage, very faint but incredibly sharp.
The fat silkworm is gnawing on the worm cage again!
Qin Sang had a headache. The past two days, the fat silkworm had been eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating. When it woke up and found nothing to eat, it kept gnawing on the insect cage and begging Qin Sang for food.
It strangely refuses to eat anything else, only eating red fire gold!
Qin Sang tried all sorts of elixirs, even poisons, on the fat silkworm. The silkworm wouldn't touch any of them, not even glancing at them. It spat at Qin Sang and rolled its eyes, as if it thought Qin Sang was insulting it.
If Qin Sang hadn't had good eyesight, he wouldn't have noticed it had eyes.
Such a spiritual insect, Qin Sang dared not use it as his natal insect Gu. It was impossible to cultivate at all.
This guy doesn't seem that stupid either, knowing that only Qin Sang has the Chihuo Liujin. He won't leave even if you chase him away. Qin Sang intentionally throws him out, and he immediately scrambles back in.
Satisfied with a single bite, he went to sleep happily.
But it's not a recognition of the master!
A cultivator's control over spirit insects includes three primary methods: the Spirit Insect Taming Art of the Yuling Sect, the Totem Worm Gu of the Wuzhu clan, and a far rarer method known as spontaneous recognition by spirit insects.
It is said that spiritual insects take the initiative to recognize their masters. Not only are the minds of cultivators and spiritual insects extremely compatible, but there will also be unexpected benefits.
This opportunity is rare and unpredictable.
The spiritual insect's intelligence is low, and cultivators cannot fathom it.
Someone tried using the methods used to win over hearts on a spirit worm, faking a pursuit scene, suddenly appearing and saving the spirit worm's life by showing it kindness.
It turned out to be useless and the spirit worms didn't appreciate it.
Qin Sang patiently fed the silkworm for two days. Seeing that it only knew how to eat and showed no gratitude, he decided he couldn't bear it anymore and would give it a lesson.
Though this guy doesn't have a big appetite, he just keeps eating.
"This Crimson Flame Gold Fruit is so precious, I only have one fruit left, and I need to save it for my soul-bound worm to evolve. How could I let you, a stupid silkworm, eat it"
Qin Sang let out a cold snort, took out the Ten Directions Yama Banner, used a strand of Nine Nether Demon Fire to form fine needles, and opened the insect cage.in place, afraid to move, for a full hour. Finally, the few cloud beasts finished smoothing their feathers and took flight, 'caw caw' calling as they merged into the 'black cloud'."Hurry!"Yin Xing'e u...
