In the following days, she didn't spend all her time on cultivation.
In the morning, she took care of the spiritual grass in front of her door. As for the grass that increases growth, it no longer served much purpose for her, but she found a new use for it.
During the noon when the sun was scorching outside, she stayed in her dwelling, deducing her future cultivation methods and making improvements to the techniques from a thousand years ago.
Through her improvements, the cultivation methods she developed would be better than the original ones, allowing her to cultivate more and stronger spiritual power and ensure the better survival of the Illusory Butterfly clan.
She stored these cultivation methods in her inherited memories so that future generations of Illusory Butterflies could perceive the existence of these techniques when they embarked on cultivation.
In the afternoon, she would stroll within the range of the Blue Silver Grass or chat with A Yin, exchanging insights on cultivation.
For the Blue Silver Grass, they eagerly anticipated the arrival of the afternoon because...
"She's here, the Butterfly Fairy is here."
"I hope the Butterfly Fairy chooses me today."
"Me too, I hope the Butterfly Fairy picks me."
"..."
The innocent and kind-hearted Blue Silver Grass could only express their thoughts with their limited consciousness.
Their intelligence was comparable to that of a three-year-old child, but they knew that the Butterfly Fairy could bring them a comfortable feeling.
As they watched the beautiful butterfly fluttering in, the Blue Silver Grass became excited. They all hoped that Ye Die Die would choose them.
Since the grass that increases growth had little effect on her now, she started helping A Yin cultivate her own clan.
Every day, she would grind a stalk of the growth-enhancing grass into powder and sprinkle it over a Blue Silver Grass that caught her eye.
Each time a Blue Silver Grass was chosen, it would feel a comfortable energy flowing through its body, slowly absorbing the energy in the powder.
Seeing the chosen Blue Silver Grass' cultivation age increase significantly, the other Blue Silver Grass became envious.
However, as peaceful soul beasts, they only harbored simple envy without jealousy, and they would never compete with one another.
They simply wished that the Butterfly Fairy would choose them next, and their admiration for the Butterfly Fairy grew stronger and stronger.
Even some of the Blue Silver Grass that had experienced that incident, lasting for thousands of years, admired the Butterfly Fairy.
To the point that in the hearts of the Blue Silver Grass, Ye Die Die's presence was second only to their supreme Blue Silver King.
This time, Ye Die Die chose a Blue Silver Grass that was over nine hundred years old. She could sense that this particular Blue Silver Grass was on the verge of a breakthrough.
It only needed a little assistance to break through and become a thousand-year soul beast.
Ye Die Die flew above the head of the Blue Silver Grass, spinning a few times. The Blue Silver Grass understood and expressed a grateful look towards the Butterfly Fairy.
The liquid made from grinding the growth-enhancing grass flowed onto the body of the chosen Blue Silver Grass. The Blue Silver Grass felt a surge of abundant soul power throughout its body.
Soon, this Blue Silver Grass broke through and became a thousand-year soul beast. However, unlike A Yin's calm breakthrough, nothing unexpected happened this time.
Ye Die Die believed that this might be one of the tests A Yin, as the chosen one, had to endure, and also one of the reasons for her rapid cultivation progress!
Just as she finished helping the Blue Silver Grass complete its breakthrough and was about to return to her little nest, she sensed the approach of an energy, seemingly that of a human soul master.
Ye Die Die disguised her appearance using her soul skill and approached the vicinity of the human cultivators. At the same time, she overheard their conversation.
These two human cultivators were not of high rank, but she could sense that they possessed the aura of a thousand-year soul beast, with one walking in front and the other following behind.
"Liu, did you really sense that there's a soul beast nearby that has just broken through to the thousand-year cultivation level?"
Wang Jinwen, the man who followed behind, spoke.
"Wang, why would I deceive you? Don't you believe in my Spirit-Hunting Rat, my beast martial soul? As long as the soul beast isn't too far away from me, I can roughly sense its cultivation level."
"Moreover, I can also sense that this soul beast is a plant-type soul beast, perfectly complementing your beast martial soul, Qianzhu."
Liu Yingcai, the middle-aged man in front, proudly said to the man behind him.
"That's great! It seems my third spirit ring is within reach. Once I find my third spirit ring, I'll treat you to a big meal after we're out."
"Haha, let's find that newly breakthrough thousand-year soul beast for you first, Wang."
Liu Yingcai's figure was accompanied by the appearance of a rat, and three spirit rings appeared around him, one white, one yellow, and one yellow.
Among them, the second spirit ring, the yellow one, shone brightly, and Liu Yingcai took a deep breath in the surroundings.
"Squeak, that's right. It's just ahead, not far away. I can sense that the soul beast there is green, definitely a plant-type thousand-year soul beast."
"Then let's go quickly. The two of us should be able to handle a newly breakthrough thousand-year soul beast."
Wang Jinwen said excitedly. He was thrilled at the thought of his third spirit ring being purple, both powerful and eye-catching.
Wang Jinwen also revealed his spirit rings, one white and one yellow, and a giant bamboo martial soul appeared behind him.
Liu Yingcai led Wang Jinwen towards the recently breakthrough Blue Silver Grass.
Just as they were about to enter the range of the Blue Silver Grass, Ye Die Die was about to step forward and stop the two human soul masters.
However, before she could intervene, they stopped at the outskirts of the Blue Silver Grass.
"Liu, are you saying that the plant-type thousand-year soul beast you mentioned is the Blue Silver Grass?"
Wang Jinwen looked at the Blue Silver Grass covering the ground, in doubt.
"Well, I'm not sure either. Let me feel it more carefully. It seems...probably...maybe...it is the Blue Silver Grass!"
Liu Yingcai wasn't certain. He used his soul skill to sense the thousand-year soul beast and found that it shared the same roots as the nearby Blue Silver Grass.
"Let's go. I wouldn't even take the Blue Silver Grass's spirit ring if it were given to me for free. It's the lowest-level soul beast on the entire continent. Even with a purple spirit ring, what soul skill can the Blue Silver Grass offer me? Entangling? It might break on its own before I can even entangle an enemy."
"That's true, my friend Wang. I'm sorry, let me help you find another one. The Blue Silver Grass indeed seems useless as your third spirit ring."
And then, before Ye Die Die could make a move, she watched helplessly as the two human soul masters walked away, just like that...
Ye Die Die couldn't help but sigh.
"No wonder, for these thousands of years, very few human soul masters have entered the territory of the Blue Silver Grass. And if they do, they quickly leave."
"It seems that these soul masters don't see the Blue Silver Grass as a worthy spirit ring."
"Well... when you think about it, those who can enter the chaotic zone are probably those with strong martial souls. Naturally... they wouldn't value the Blue Silver Grass, a waste martial soul on the continent."
Ye Die Die had to admit the immense convenience that the Blue Silver Grass community brought to her. It not only provided cultivation benefits but also acted as a shield from disturbances.
"Today, I'm in a good mood. I'll go grind a growth-enhancing grass for them again."
