"This is... Ah Yin?" exclaimed Ye Die Die in surprise.
She had just stepped out of her residence, planning to take an Enhancing Grass with her to another location to utilize its amplification effect before starting her cultivation.
She was well aware that her medicinal plants were growing better and better. In the vicinity of her dwelling, apart from herself, there were only Blue Silver Grass plants surrounding her. It was easy to deduce what was happening.
There must be a Blue Silver Grass secretly absorbing the spiritual power of the medicinal plants, simultaneously aiding in their growth.
Ye Die Die knew about this, but she didn't pay much attention to it. After all, it had no negative impact on her medicinal plants. Furthermore, the Blue Silver Grass community had helped her in many ways, so she allowed it to continue absorbing.
Unexpectedly, when she wanted to leave this time, she encountered the little creature that had been covertly absorbing the medicinal plants.
At first, she only felt curiosity, simply wanting to see what kind of Blue Silver Grass would dare to secretly absorb her medicinal plants.
However, as she carefully sensed it, she was greatly astonished. This Blue Silver Grass was different from any she had encountered before.
Having spent over a thousand years among the Blue Silver Grass community, she had experienced the most ordinary Blue Silver Grass and even the most powerful Blue Silver King. She had carefully observed them all.
The most ordinary Blue Silver Grass gave her a sense of innocence and ignorance, while the most powerful Blue Silver King gave her a sense of purity.
But this particular Blue Silver Grass gave her a feeling of power and allure. This power did not refer to its cultivation age but rather its spiritual and soul level.
One could say that the intelligence of this Blue Silver Grass might already be on par with that of the Blue Silver King. However, at this moment, this Blue Silver Grass only had a cultivation age of a hundred years and was merely a hundred-year soul beast, yet it could be compared to the Blue Silver King, a thousand-year soul beast.
This was why she speculated that this Blue Silver Grass was Ah Yin.
"Hello, little one!"
Ye Die Die sent a friendly signal to Ah Yin using her consciousness, believing that Ah Yin could understand.
Upon careful observation, Ah Yin already possessed the intelligence of a six or seven-year-old human child. She could grasp the general meaning.
"You... Hello, Butterfly Fairy," Ah Yin said timidly. Her voice resembled that of a young girl, clear and bright. She had only recently gained consciousness.
"Butterfly Fairy? That sounds nice, but..." Ye Die Die paused when she heard this title. She never expected to be called a fairy, and it made her quite happy.
Ah Yin was a bit nervous and quickly explained, "That's the name they gave you. They said you're as beautiful as a fairy."
Ye Die Die happily replied, "I really like that title, but you can call me Sister Butterfly."
"Sister Butterfly? Okay, Sister Butterfly. I was just..."
Ah Yin wanted to explain about absorbing the medicinal plants but was interrupted by Ye Die Die.
"Since you're already calling me sister, you can absorb these medicinal plants freely, little one. Do you have a name?"
"No."
"Then I'll give you a name. How about Ah Yin?"
"Ah Yin? Ah... Yin. Alright, I'll be called Ah Yin from now on."
After hearing this name, Ah Yin was overjoyed. She now had a name. None of her friends had names, but she had one, and it was given to her by Sister Butterfly, the Butterfly Fairy.
Ah Yin couldn't help but feel excited. The Blue Silver Grass around her swayed as she felt the happiness and excitement in her heart.
"Thank you, Butterfly... Sister Butterfly, for giving me a name."
"Since you're calling me Sister Butterfly, I'll call you Silver Sister."
Ah Yin didn't understand why Sister Butterfly in front of her was so kind. Not only did she not scold her for absorbing the medicinal plants, but she also helped her find a name. Ah Yin was grateful to Sister Butterfly.
She had made up her mind. From now on, she would help Sister Butterfly without hesitation if there was any trouble.
Among spirit beasts, things are simple. There is no scheming or backstabbing. If you are kind to me, I will be grateful and repay you.
"I don't have anything good to give you, so take these!" Ye Die Die plucked five One-Increase Grass from her small field and took out some honey from her room, offering them to Ah Yin.
This honey was different from the ones before. It was extracted by Ye Die Die herself from the Chaos Region after she became a Millennium Spirit Beast.
These honeys had certain effects on her own cultivation, let alone Ah Yin, who only had a hundred years of cultivation.
Ah Yin looked at the things in front of her, feeling a bit overwhelmed. She felt that Sister Butterfly had already given her a lot.
"Take it!" Ye Die Die noticed her hesitation and gently placed them in Ah Yin's hands, urging her to accept.
Seeing this, Ah Yin eventually accepted the items. Her gratitude towards Sister Butterfly grew stronger.
The medicinal plants she absorbed slowly were different from the ones she harvested and used. If the effectiveness of slowly absorbing them was one, then the effectiveness of using the harvested ones was a hundred.
With these few One-Increase Grass and honey, Ah Yin believed that her cultivation would definitely progress quickly.
After instructing Ah Yin to cultivate well, Ye Die Die flew away with a few One-Increase Grass towards a place far from the range of Blue Silver Grass.
The Blue Silver King sensed her departure from the range of Blue Silver Grass, but by now, he was used to it.
Back then, he would often observe briefly but found that there was no danger to his clan, so he ignored it and continued his own cultivation.
Ye Die Die was now going to amplify a few Two-Increase Grass to complement her cultivation. Her cultivation speed was already not slow, but Ah Yin's appearance made her feel even more urgent.
With Ah Yin's appearance, it meant that the events in the Douluo Continent were not far from her. If she didn't have the means to protect herself, how could she survive the upcoming battles just by having a good relationship with Ah Yin?
"Everything still relies on oneself in the end. There will always be uncertainties with others."
She brought a few One-Increase Grass and arrived at a swamp. After so many years of experience, she had become extremely proficient.
However, her occasional amplification of medicinal herbs over the past thousand years caused sporadic waves of soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest.
Later on, she noticed that after amplifying in the same location frequently, the soul beasts became smarter and started lurking in those areas.
Using her powerful spiritual power, Ye Die Die could easily detect them, so she changed her locations frequently.
After quickly and efficiently amplifying in this place, she left with the few Two-Increase Grass and flew towards the Blue Silver Grass clan.
Now, she had great control over her soul skill, Disguise.
In the past, she could only use Disguise on herself. To avoid unnecessary trouble, she would put the amplified herbs in her mouth.
Since becoming a Millennium Spirit Beast, Ye Die Die could now use Disguise on external creatures as well. She could control her disguise to conceal the Two-Increase Grass.
However, she couldn't use her soul skill disguise while amplifying yet. Otherwise, she wouldn't need to go out occasionally.
600 years later.
Today was the day when Ah Yin would break through the thousand-year cultivation limit.
Ah Yin's talent for cultivation was undoubtedly exceptional. With her own efforts and the material support from Ye Die Die, Ah Yin even entered the realm of a Millennium Spirit Beast a hundred years earlier than Ye Die Die did.
During her advancement today, as a precaution, Ye Die Die gave Ah Yin a Two-Increase Grass.
Of course, her soul skill disguise was constantly applied to that Two-Increase Grass, concealing any trace of energy. When Ah Yin held it in her hand, she thought it was just an ordinary blade of grass.
It was only when Ye Die Die told her to absorb it that Ah Yin could feel the immense soul power contained within the grass.
Once Ah Yin touched the grass, she couldn't help but begin absorbing it, advancing towards the realm of a Millennium Spirit Beast.
Everything was so perfect, so natural, and the progression unfolded effortlessly. Ye Die Die could sense that Ah Yin was naturally about to succeed in her advancement.
Finally, Ah Yin broke through that barrier and became a Millennium Spirit Beast, but...
This time, Ah Yin's breakthrough into a Millennium Spirit Beast was completely different from when she first became one.
After advancing to a Millennium Spirit Beast, Ah Yin emitted a powerful energy that had a deadly allure.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
The entire chaotic region of the Star Dou Forest began to go mad, rushing towards the Blue Silver Grass clan.
"It's over..."
