,Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of years have passed.
Ye Die Die has been staying in the Blue Silver Grass territory, cultivating and cultivating her herbs, without venturing outside.
This time is the day of maturity for her semi-spiritual herbs. She has planted a large area of medicinal herbs, including cultivation herbs, mental enhancement herbs, and vitality herbs...
Some of these herbs are for her own use, some are for Ah Yin, and some are less useful, so she distributed them to the Blue Silver Grass and Mirage Butterflies.
Among all the herbs, there are only five plants of semi-spiritual herbs. It's not that Ye Die Die doesn't want to plant more herbs.
It's just that within the territory of the Blue Silver Grass, only this many semi-spiritual herbs can be planted. Any more than that simply won't grow.
Ye Die Die thinks it may be related to the spiritual power in the air and the adaptability of the land.
To plant more semi-spiritual herbs, the range of the Blue Silver Grass clan needs to be expanded. But if that happens, they may become the target of the entire inner circle again.
Ye Die Die thought about it and decided to forget it. Five plants of semi-spiritual herbs every thousand years are already satisfying for her.
These five small grasses, with nine silver patterns on their stems, look delicious... beautiful. As she reaches maturity, she picks them up and eats them.
"Ah! Life is truly wonderful!"
After consuming these five plants of semi-spiritual herbs, Ye Die Die can feel her spiritual power slowly increasing. Now she doesn't need to sit down and cultivate; she can absorb the energy from these herbs just by consuming them.
For the past ten thousand years, Ye Die Die has lived a fulfilling and relaxed life.
"Grandmother Ancestor, I'm here!"
Except...
A butterfly flew across the sky, respectfully greeted Ye Die Die, and then went to the planting area to cultivate herbs.
Throughout these ten thousand years, Ye Die Die has been troubled by her own clan, so she assigned them some tasks to help her manage the herb fields.
Upon hearing this news, the Mirage Butterflies became even more excited and eager. Everyone was rushing to help her with the herb cultivation.
In the end, they even fought among themselves to decide who would assist Grandmother Ancestor in planting the herbs.
This was something Ye Die Die hadn't anticipated. Although the Mirage Butterfly clan's battles were based on spiritual power, so they didn't receive any injuries and instead enhanced their spiritual power.
Afterwards, although Ye Die Die supported their competition, she set a rule to avoid unnecessary trouble. One soul beast per day, taking turns, no rushing or quarreling.
After handing over the management of the herb fields to the Mirage Butterflies, her days became even more relaxed as she took care of those five semi-spiritual herbs.
Over the years, Ye Die Die also figured out the events of the past.
Back then, under the new cultivation method created by Ye Die Die, the Mirage Butterfly clan hid better in the Star Dou Forest.
They even encountered a thousand-year soul beast again, which became the current clan leader of the Mirage Butterflies.
The Mirage Butterfly clan leader witnessed the growth and strength of their own clan, and began to search for their people and form a tribe.
In the past, Mirage Butterflies were easily discovered by human soul masters, attracting a large number of them. In order to prevent their clan from being annihilated, they adopted measures of dispersal.
Each Mirage Butterfly was scattered in different places, trying to avoid being together, except during the mating season.
After implementing this method, the rate of extinction of the Mirage Butterflies slowed down significantly. Since then, they have been reproducing in this manner.
Now, with the cultivation method created by Ye Die Die, every Mirage Butterfly has the confidence to survive in the Star Dou Forest.
Therefore, they formed a group, with the thousand-year soul beast as their clan leader.
During one operation, a lone Mirage Butterfly was discovered by a human soul master. Instead of attacking immediately, the human soul master followed it.
The human soul master followed this lone Mirage Butterfly and discovered the Mirage Butterfly clan. They saw a large number of Mirage Butterflies, and even a thousand-year soul beast.
The human soul master sold this information, and a hunting group consisting of soul beasts with butterfly-type martial souls and mental-type martial souls entered the Star Dou Forest to hunt Mirage Butterflies.
By the time the Mirage Butterflies noticed the human soul masters, it was already too late. They were marked by the human soul masters and even using soul skills to disguise themselves was futile.
During their vulnerable stage, Mirage Butterflies could only utilize simple applications of spiritual power, aside from disguising with soul skills. However, compared to humans, the spiritual power of soul beasts was inherently weaker.
As expected, a large group of Mirage Butterflies were hunted down by human soul masters, who sold the information in batches.
Batch after batch, Mirage Butterflies were killed, and they could only flee in all directions. However, with the human soul masters' markings, they had no chance of escape.
The Mirage Butterflies ran in every direction, but their numbers dwindled, and no soul beast wanted to help them.
They could only run, only go deeper. Finally, when they were exhausted, they reached the range of the Blue Silver Grass.
The Blue Silver Grass was willing to accept them because some of the grass sensed a familiar aura, similar to the butterfly fairies they had known before.
The thousand-year soul beast, the Mirage Butterfly clan leader, found the place where Ye Die Die used to live within the territory of the Blue Silver Grass.
There, he suddenly had an inexplicable feeling that he could connect with their ancestors. He was overjoyed.
Subsequently, the Mirage Butterfly clan leader led the entire Mirage Butterfly group to pray to Ye Die Die. However, the distance was too far, and Ye Die Die could only hear them when she activated the Mirage Butterfly Technique.
Moreover, what she heard was not very clear. The scenes that followed were what happened after Ye Die Die arrived.
Ye Die Die learned about the hardships of her own clan and understood why they were so enthusiastic upon meeting her.
When they were on the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest, they had developed the habit of being reclusive and introverted to avoid danger, trying their best to avoid interacting with every soul beast.
Now that they had met their own ancestors, they used all their strength and enthusiasm that had been suppressed for thousands of years because they believed that only with their ancestors was it the safest place, where they could let go of their guard completely.
After learning all this, Ye Die Die became even more concerned about her clan. She truly felt sorry for her people.
So, she indulged in the habit of Mirage Butterflies talking a lot and no longer restrained them.
Over the past ten thousand years, she gave them more attention and care. Sometimes, she would take out mature spiritual herbs and distribute them as rewards for taking care of the herb fields.
The Mirage Butterflies also knew that their great-grandmother treated them better and greeted her every day.
Although Ye Die Die still wanted to criticize this title, "great-grandmother," she decided to let it slide for now.
After the last seclusion, Ah Yin had been practicing cultivation without coming out or stopping.
Ye Die Die was initially worried and specifically went to check on Ah Yin. She found that Ah Yin was in a great state and progressing quite quickly in her cultivation.
Watching Ah Yin's cultivation base soar rapidly, Ye Die Die stared at her in contemplation for a few seconds.
"Why is Ah Yin progressing so fast?!" Ye Die Die exclaimed.
In the end, Ye Die Die decided to spend an extra hour each day on her own cultivation.
