When they heard Fang Yun talking about Mist Butterfly, all the spirit bones stopped talking. Only bones were left in their heads, without flesh and blood, and without expression. However, the blue flames in their eye sockets danced gently, and the energy and blood power covered their white bodies like blood mist, as if they were facing a great enemy.
After growing up, the fog will turn into a pupa when it reaches its peak, and after a deep sleep, it will break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, becoming a fog butterfly. Because the fog has been swallowing weak water and strange wind for a long time, the fog butterfly can directly transform its vitality into weak water and strange wind.
However, when the Mist Butterfly just breaks out of its cocoon, it is very weak, and the strange wind and weak water it can control are very limited. As it continues to grow, the Mist Butterfly will become stronger and stronger, and eventually will far surpass the Mist.
In addition to the strange grass in the Youshui River, the Mist Butterfly is the nemesis of all the monsters in the Holy Ruins. Every time a Mist Butterfly is born, those powerful monsters will try to catch and kill it.
"How did you know?" asked the dragon head spirit bone, as if he was ready to fight if they disagreed.
"I heard that the Blood Demon Barbarian failed to capture the Mist Butterfly. Is it related to you?" Fang Yun said as he threw a palm-sized piece of bone over.
The dragon head spirit bone stretched out his hand to catch it and said, "We heard about the fog butterfly many days ago. When we encountered the fog butterfly that day, we wanted to kill it, but then we met the blood demon barbarians and joined forces. Unfortunately, the fog butterfly escaped in the end. We, the spirit bone clan, do not want to leave Dragon Cliff, and now many demon kings and other monsters are searching for us."
Only then did Fang Yun understand why he encountered two Star Demon Kings twice. They were probably looking for the Mist Butterfly.
"Your goal is to kill Mist Butterfly, and my goal is to capture it and bring it out of the Holy Ruins. Our goals are almost the same. I will exchange two bone fragments for all the information about Mist Butterfly." Fang Yun said.
"Too little!" said the Dragon Head Spirit Bone.
"How many years do you think it will take for the next person who is willing to exchange the ancient demon bone fragment for the information about the Mist Butterfly to appear?" Fang Yun asked.
The dragon head spirit bone was stunned for a moment, pulled out a very ordinary bone from its body and threw it to Fang Yun.
Fang Yun also threw two pieces of bone to the dragon head spirit bone, and then held the bone in his hand. A strange vibration came from the bone, and then turned into a demon language echoing in Fang Yun's ears. No one else could hear it except Fang Yun.
"The Mist Butterfly loves the holy fruit of the Strange Tree. It came to Longya to sneak into the Longya Forest to steal the holy fruit, but we chased it and it ran away. This holy ruins is full of fog, and even if the newly born Mist Butterfly is very weak, it can use the fog to escape, not to mention that there are always three groups of transformed fog to protect it, so it can escape."
"The mist butterfly has a strange fragrance that can be smelled a hundred feet away. Even if it is deliberately concealed, you can still smell it if you get close. This mist butterfly is newly born, and its own strength is only similar to that of an ordinary demon general. The strength of the transformed mist protecting it is extremely strong. However, after many pursuits, the three groups of transformed mist are no longer as strong as before."
"Also, you have a strong aura of moonlight on your body. If you encounter a mist butterfly, as long as you don't attack it, it won't attack you..."
"The strongest mist butterfly is second to none among the ancient monsters. It is extremely powerful. A semi-saint of your race once obtained a mist butterfly..."
Dragon Head Linggu told all the secrets he knew, many of which were not recorded in the "Secret Records of the Sacred Ruins".
After hearing this, Fang Yun returned the bone to the Dragon Head Spirit Bone and asked, "Senior, how long have you been a Spirit Bone?"
"I have been through that battle of saints." The blue fire in Dragon Head Spirit Bone's eyes jumped rapidly. Then he turned around and walked back.
Fang Yun didn't expect that this spirit bone had actually witnessed the battle between Zilu Semi-Saint and the Demon Saint. It was an old spirit bone that had lived for thousands of years.
Fang Yun was thinking about Wudie, and like other candidates, he was looking through the things displayed by the spirit bones. The spirit bones had a lot of things, including ordinary strange stones, wood or dead grass. There were also literary treasures, pens and books used by humans, fur and internal organs of demons, and special products of the Holy Ruins.
Every time he saw something he didn't recognize, Fang Yun would quickly flip through various books in the Book of Wonders and soon found a lot of good things, such as a one-foot-long piece of wood. It looked very ordinary, but it was actually a fallen phoenix phoenix tree. It was originally a good material for making guqin, but it was too small to be used as a guqin body. It could be used to make key parts for mechanical beasts and was as precious as the thunder stone.
Because it was a barter, different from ordinary trading, Fang Yun directly picked up the Luofeng Wutong and said, "It's an ancient demon bone fragment. If you have no objection, I'll take it out first." As he said that, he casually threw the Luofeng Wutong wood aside, as if he had picked it out.
One of the spirit bones looked at the dragon head spirit bone, as if asking whether he should object, but the dragon head spirit bone said softly: "Sell it as soon as possible."
The spirit bone said nothing and accepted the price.
After walking for a while, Han Shoulu suddenly winked at Fang Yun, and then the two walked away. Han Shoulu used his literary power to block others from detecting him, and whispered, "I found something, which is very likely one of the fifty-five chapters of Han Feizi written by my ancestor himself, but it was tainted by holy blood. I beg Brother Fang to help my Han family get this holy text back. For such a great favor, my Han family will definitely repay you with all their strength. I have nothing to repay Brother Fang now, so I will give the Yinjiangbei as the first reward. After leaving the Holy Ruins, my Han family will definitely give Brother Fang enough compensation. Whether it is my Han family's great help or literary treasures, holy blood, divine objects, etc., Brother Fang, just ask. Semi-saint families can share a holy place, and it is almost impossible for outsiders to enter. Our Han family can let Brother Fang enter."
When Fang Yun heard that it was an article from "Han Feizi", he was overjoyed. Han Feizi was the culmination of the Legalists, and his achievements were even greater than those of Shang Yang, Li Si and others. His "Han Feizi" could be regarded as the first of the Legalists' classics. Even if it was only one of the fifty-five articles, it possessed extremely strong power.
Fang Yun's first thought of seeing such a precious holy object was to take it for himself, but then he weighed the pros and cons and decided to major in Confucianism and minor in the military science that was most suitable for combat. The famous works of Legalism would not be of much use, so he might as well change to a semi-holy famous work that suited him.
Fang Yun immediately said, "Since it is the property of Saint Han, returning it to the human race and the Han family is a good thing, and I will do my best to do so. Zilu saved the drowning, and Saint Confucius praised it. I would like to exchange this holy text for another holy text. I wonder if Brother Han is willing to agree?"
The story of Zilu saving a drowning person is recorded in "Lüshi Chunqiu". Zilu saved a man who fell into the water. The man gave Zilu a cow to thank him, and Zilu accepted it. Later, Confucius praised Zilu and said that this would encourage the people of Lu to save people.
Han Shoulu breathed a sigh of relief and clasped his fists, saying, "Thank you, Brother Fang, for your help. Our Han family will remember this kindness! It is only natural to exchange holy texts for holy texts. Our Han family is founded on the law and will never violate the Han family's holy doctrine because of a holy text."
"I believe in Brother Han." Fang Yun said.
"Please keep this secret, Brother Fang. The text has been covered in blood and is unrecognizable. I was able to sense it because I had been with the holy text of my ancestors day and night."
"Please rest assured, Brother Han. The Han family will not violate the holy way just because of a holy text. Our Fangyun will naturally follow our own holy way. The Holy Ruins has no way, but I have it in my heart!"
"He is indeed a role model for scholars," Han Shoulu praised.
Han Shoulu described the location and appearance of the semi-holy text that was suspected to be a copy of "Han Feizi", and then the two continued to look for things.
As time went by, other people came to Fang Yun and pointed out which things were valuable, and Fang Yun remembered them one by one.
Those things are almost impossible to use for oneself in a short period of time, but as long as the price is low, it is better than being sucked in exchange for Thunder Stone.
The few spirit bones that had the thunder stone were very anxious and gathered together to complain to each other. So they all went to Fang Yun and asked, "Would you like to exchange a thunder stone for a marrow bead?"
"No change!" Fang turned around and continued to choose treasures.
The Dragon Head Spirit Bone didn't expect those spirit bones to be so disappointing. He shook his head slightly and ignored them.
Fang Yun took more and more things, and the Dragon Head Spirit Bone who presided over the transaction did not make things difficult for Fang Yun at all. Except for asking for five marrow beads when Fang Yun took the "Han Feizi", the rest of the prices were up to Fang Yun.
Fang Yun knew that even if he exchanged fifty ancient demon marrow beads for the copy of "Han Feizi", he would still make a lot of money.
"Alas, I don't have many marrow beads and demon bones left." Fang Yun deliberately glanced at the spirit bones with thunder stones. Then he took the semi-holy filthy article, walked a few steps and handed it to Han Shoulu.
Han Shoulu was stunned for a moment, then bent 90 degrees to give Fang Yunxing a great salute, and respectfully took the semi-holy article. The spirit bones and scholars all looked at the two in confusion.
Then Han Shoulu said, "Brother Fang, please give me two Hanhu shells."
Fang Yun transferred the contents of the two Hanhu Berries to other Hanhu Berries, and then handed them to Han Shoulu together.
Han Shoulu put the Yinjiangbei and two Hanhubei together, then gently bumped them together, and with very little energy, he transferred the contents of the Yinjiangbei to the Hanhubei. He then handed the empty Yinjiangbei to Fang Yun.
Now Linggu and Juren realized that Fang Yun had helped Han Shoulu a lot, but no one could guess what that thing was.
Fang Yun calmly took the Yinjiangbei, reached out to touch it, and immediately "saw" that there was a huge space inside that was nearly ten feet long, wide and high. Its volume was a thousand times that of the Hanhubei!
Hanhu Shells cannot accommodate other Hanhu Shells, but the higher-level Yinjiang Shells can accommodate Hanhu Shells, so Fang Yun doesn't have to carry so many Hanhu Shells.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "Brother Han saved me from a great emergency."
Han Shoulu smiled slightly and suppressed his excitement.
Some people whose family backgrounds were far inferior to Han Fei's family felt a little envious. Being treated like this by Han Shoulu was almost equivalent to gaining the friendship of half of Han Fei's family. The power of the Legalists spread across the ten countries, firmly holding the power of justice. Even the most powerful of the Miscellaneous Schools could not snatch it away. With this help, Fang Yun's future path would be more stable.
Fang Yun continued to choose.
With the help of these scholars, Fang Yun chose more and more things. Except for a few things that he decisively gave up because he could not reach an agreement on, Fang Yun almost got all the most valuable things from the spiritual bones.
Fang Yun and the others continued to search. A spirit bone came over stealthily and directly stuffed a fist-sized thunder stone into Fang Yun's hand, saying, "I only want three pieces of bone!"
Fang Yun immediately returned it to him and said he didn’t want it.
The spirit bone was anxious and said, "Two pieces!"
Fang Yun then handed two bone fragments to the spirit bone and exchanged them for the thunder stone.
One piece of Thunder Stone is enough to add a whole layer of Thunder Stone paint to a guqin, just one piece is enough.
With the Thunder Stone, Fang Yun lost interest in the rest of the things. He walked aside and waited, letting the candidates make the final identification. It would be great if they could find the treasure, but if not, they would make the final deal.
However, the other spirit bones with thunder stones were anxious. Even if someone came to exchange them in the future, it would be difficult to get the ancient monster marrow beads and bone pieces. If they missed this opportunity, it would be almost impossible to have the chance to get the ancient monster's things. (To be continued...)
