Refining a weapon with pill fire, the Butterfly Demonic Blade

The sun was high in the sky; it was noon.

When Li Boyang came out of the Ghost God Cave on the back mountain.

The blazing sunlight shone directly on the Flying Peak, making them gleam brilliantly.

As Li Boyang strolled along the narrow path behind the mountain to the mountain god temple, his gaze was inevitably drawn to a muddy swamp nearby.

The swamp was not naturally formed, but rather polluted by dense Sha Qi.

Deeper into the swamp, the corpse of the Ruifu that Li Boyang had once killed had now decomposed into a mutilated skeleton.

Theoretically speaking, very few plants can take root and reproduce in such harsh conditions.

However, life is considered a "miracle" precisely because it finds its own way.

"That's... a morning glory?"

At this moment, what came into Li Boyang's view was a pink flower that had just sprouted.

Ignoring its growing environment, it looked exactly like the morning glory in Li Boyang's memory.

"Plants are actually growing in this godforsaken place?"

As Li Boyang's gaze shifted from the morning glories to the swamp, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

Since conventional breeding methods can no longer achieve breakthroughs in improving varieties, can some magical Yuan Qi help species break through their own limits?

Thinking of this, Li Boyang couldn't help but walk closer to the morning glory and reach out his hand.

Clang!

Just then, the morning glory suddenly turned its petals outward, revealing the fine, sharp teeth hidden inside.

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

"This... ignores my Body-Protecting Sword Qi?"

This unexpected turn of events left Li Boyang momentarily stunned.

Even more strangely, despite blood seeping from his fingers, Li Boyang felt no pain whatsoever.

On the contrary, an unusual tingling sensation was spreading along the wound towards Li Boyang's body.

A pleasurable hallucination seemed to surface in his mind as well.

[Is this thing poisonous!?]

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, the Yuan Qi within Li Boyang's body instantly surged.

Since transferring the Curse of the Ruifu to the shadow, Li Boyang's body has been filled only with pure Life Primordial Qi.

These Life Primordial Qi may not be as violent or powerful as Sha Qi.

However, when it comes to toxins that invade its body, the Life Primordial Qi exhibits a highly efficient self-healing property.

"Call!"

In the blink of an eye, the enhanced immune system expelled the neurotoxins from Li Boyang's body.

As he slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, Li Boyang could clearly smell a stench in his mouth that wouldn't dissipate no matter what.

"The alluring flower that blooms in a treacherous place should not be underestimated."

Looking at the morning glory that was still tightly biting its own finger, Li Boyang couldn't help but smile wryly.

Fortunately, Li Boyang's body had been strengthened by both Life Primordial Qi and Earth Veins Sha Qi, otherwise the trumpet flower would have bitten off his finger.

Even so, the aggressiveness of this morning glory still shocked Li Boyang.

It can ignore its own Body-Protecting Sword Qi, bite through flesh and blood comparable to steel, and is also equipped with a neurotoxin similar to a hallucinogen...

If you were to throw this morning glory outside, it would definitely be a super plant standing at the top of the food chain.

A moment later, in the courtyard of the temple keeper of the mountain god temple.

What kind of look is this?

Xiluo, who was sunbathing in the yard, spotted Li Boyang with his finger bitten by a morning glory flower.

Now, Li Boyang has not only uprooted that morning glory plant.

He was still holding a pile of soil that he had just dug out of the swamp.

Because her appearance was so bizarre, Xiluo couldn't even find the right words to express her feelings.

"I just found a really interesting plant, and I'm planning to transplant it into the yard."

With a nonchalant wave of his hand, Li Boyang skillfully walked to a corner of the yard and buried the morning glory along with the soil.

"Where is the Big Girl? Where is she now?"

While busy with the planting work at hand, he didn't forget to look back for Li Jingshu's whereabouts...

Before Li Boyang could finish speaking, Li Jingshu turned her back to the two of them and quietly slipped out of the study.

"Li Jingshu?"

Seeing Li Jingshu's reckless and disregardful behavior, Li Boyang felt a sense of foreboding.

"Ah!"

The result was exactly as Li Boyang had predicted.

Startled, Li Jingshu immediately turned around, still holding a butterfly knife in her hand.

The butterfly knife danced and spun in Li Jingshu's fingers, displaying both dexterity and a dangerous nature.

"I think I told you not to play with such dangerous knives, didn't I?"

That butterfly knife is no ordinary knife.

That was a weapon that Li Boyang had tentatively extracted the fire from the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron a year ago and then forged separately.

Its blade is made from meteorite iron from the Deception Rabbit, and its hilt is made from the horns of some kind of mythical beast.

As the butterfly knife took shape, Li Boyang even faintly heard a roar like that of a wild beast.

He once tried to analyze the effect of cinnabar fire on the butterfly knife, but could only conclude that "this is a knife made of ordinary materials".

The only thing Li Boyang was certain of was that this butterfly knife was definitely not simple—it was most likely a demonic knife.

After all, while alchemical fire doesn't directly enhance the properties of materials like Sha Qi fire, it's definitely not some ordinary fire.

"Um... I was just looking... just looking..."

Feeling guilty, Li Jingshu hid the butterfly knife behind her back, not daring to look Li Boyang in the eye.

That knife is dangerous...

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

"However, if you can maintain a constant flow of Yuan Qi, I might give you this knife."

As long as Li Jingshu can maintain the flow of Yuan Qi within her body, she will naturally be able to generate a layer of Body-Protecting Gang Qi.

By then, even if she were to accidentally cut herself with the butterfly knife, it would be absolutely impossible for her to break through the Body-Protecting Gang Qi.

"Okay! It's a deal!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jingshu's eyes lit up as she answered.

This is the "carrot and stick" educational method that Li Boyang specifically used against Li Jingshu.

This tactic has proven to be very effective for Li Jingshu.

This naive girl simply couldn't resist the temptation of "carrots," and this time was no exception.

"Alright! Go get something to eat first, we have literature class next."

Slowly standing up, Li Boyang's words successfully made Li Jingshu's face fall again.

"Huh? Is it already noon?"
