"It would be a waste to use this piece of golden thunder iron crystal to refine any heavenly spiritual weapon, so I chose it as the material for refining an immortal spiritual weapon."

"The size of this piece of golden thunder iron crystal is most suitable for refining a hidden weapon, so this spiritual blade was created."

"Unfortunately, I failed. I failed to refine the immortal-grade spirit blade. Fortunately, I have superb skills and saved this piece of golden thunder iron crystal, which is now the incomplete piece. I named it Golden Thunder Butterfly!"

"Don't underestimate the Golden Thunder Butterfly, it is just a defective product. In terms of quality and sharpness, it definitely exceeds any heavenly spiritual weapon. It is between heavenly and immortal."

"The Black Thunder Blade I just gave you is totally inadequate in front of the Golden Thunder Butterfly."

"Let me tell you this. If your mental power is strong enough and reaches the first level, and you can control the Golden Thunder Butterfly, you may be able to kill a Grandmaster!" Shi Bujue said in a low voice.

"hiss……"

Li Zhiming took a deep breath, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

This is the real good stuff.

"I admire Master Shi's accomplishments in weapon refining and respect him greatly."

"I wonder if Master Shi can bear the pain and sell this Golden Thunder Butterfly to his disciple?" Li Zhiming changed the subject and asked tentatively.

“Not for sale!”

Shi Bujue replied without hesitation.

“…”

Li Zhiming's expression changed slightly, he had already expected this.

This incomplete immortal spiritual blade is the life's work of Shi Bujue. It is priceless and not easy to buy.

"You helped me remove poison and heal my wounds, which gave me hope of reaching the level of Grandmaster. If I ask you for money, it would make me look like a piece of shit."

"I will give you this golden thunder butterfly as a gift!"

Shi Bujue waved his hand lightly, and a golden box floated in front of Li Zhiming.

"??!!"

Li Zhiming's face was full of surprise.

I didn't expect Shi Bujue to be such a person. He gave such a treasure directly to me?

"Thank you for the gift, Master Shi. I will do my best to remove the fire poison in your body as soon as possible."

"Not particularly anxious."

"In the future, when my body recovers and my weapon-refining skills and cultivation level improve again, you must return this golden thunder butterfly to me. I will refine it again and make it into a genuine immortal-grade spiritual blade!"

"But don't worry, I will return the Golden Thunder Butterfly to you after it is successfully refined. I am doing this only because I want to get rid of my obsession and frivolity."

Shi Bujue stood with his hands behind his back, looking out the window, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

"I, the junior Li Zhiming, would like to thank Master Shi for the gift. If you need anything in the future, please just tell me and I will do my best to help you." Li Zhiming bowed.

"I am an old man, a great master, how can I trouble a junior like you? It would be disgraceful if I told others about it."

"Okay, take the Golden Thunder Butterfly back."

"I remember that the road of trial will start in half a month. Prepare well. I am very optimistic about you."

Shi Bujue replied.

"clear."

Li Zhiming put away the golden box, bowed and left.

Shi Bujue looked at Li Zhiming's back, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

"This boy has unparalleled talent, and his character is far superior to those of his peers. Perhaps, a new era is coming." Shi Bujue murmured in a low voice.

Li Zhiming had no ability to fly, so he could only walk down the mountain in the direction he came from.

After reaching the foot of the mountain, Li Zhiming looked up at the sky.

A dark shadow flew by, it was Yao Xian, the commander-in-chief of the Punishment Hall.

"I wonder what this guy is doing at Iron Stone Peak, looking for someone to refine a weapon?"

Li Zhiming thought for a moment, then he stopped thinking about it and quickly left Tieshi Peak.

A little while later.

Li Zhiming returned to his residence.

He closed the doors and windows, opened the golden box without stopping, and carefully played with the broken immortal spiritual blade.

"With the Golden Thunder Butterfly as my trump card, even if I don't use those two puppets, warriors below the third rank will hardly pose a threat to me."

A look of joy appeared on Li Zhiming's face. He waved his hand, and seven Thunder Spirit Blades and Golden Thunder Butterflies all floated in front of him.

He bit his tongue, dripped blood to acknowledge his master, and branded his spiritual mark on the spiritual blade.

Now, these seven spirit blades belong to him.

Li Zhiming's mind moved, and the seven spirit blades returned to the storage ring.

He left his residence and came to the back mountain of Qingluan Peak.

After the stealth formation was set up, he continued to practice in seclusion, delving into the Taiqing Heart Method and Xuanxingsha.

Try to hone these seven spirit blades to perfection before the road of trial begins.

…

Three days later, deep in Longji Mountain.

The Holy Maiden Hall of the Hehuan Sect.

The dim candlelight illuminated the hall, and the beautiful Ji Ling'er sat cross-legged on a red carpet.

She opened her eyes, her purple pupils full of solemnity.

"The Tongxin Gu has fully grown, why can't I sense the connection with the male insect?"

Ji Ling'er's eyes were full of doubt.

"not good!"

Ji Ling'er's face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly suppressed the restless queen insect in her body.

The female insect has been very irritable recently, apparently because she has been separated from the male insect for too long.

This shows that Li Zhiming has not left Zhenyuan Sect until now.

According to common sense, Li Zhiming should be being tortured to death by the male insect of Tongxin Gu.

In order to save his life, he would definitely leave Zhenyuan Sect and come to Longji Mountain to find me.

Otherwise, once the male insect completely erupts, Li Zhiming will surely die!

As long as Li Zhiming came to Longji Mountain, she would just sit there and wait for him to come and easily defeat him.

At that time, wouldn't she have the final say on whether Li Zhiming is dead or alive?

However, she thought that she valued talent and would not kill Li Zhiming. The best way would be to recruit him into the Hehuan Sect and use him for her own purposes.

If Li Zhiming refuses to obey, then she will have to resort to some unconventional means!

When she thought of this, Ji Linger's expression suddenly changed.

The true energy in her body began to become chaotic again.

The poisonous insect started to cause trouble again.

"Damn it, what on earth is Li Zhiming doing? Why hasn't he come to Longji Mountain yet?"

Ji Ling'er looked unhappy.

Li Zhiming did not understand the art of witchcraft, nor had he practiced the corresponding secret method, so he was unable to suppress the poisonous insects like himself.

He didn't believe that Li Zhiming could endure the pain of being bitten by the poisonous insect.

Even if Li Zhiming can bear it, he still has to die!

Ji Ling'er bit her red lips with her pearly teeth.

As time goes by, the queen insect will become unusually irritable, and she has vaguely felt that she is unable to suppress the queen insect.

If this continues, the method she uses to control Li Zhiming will become poison to kill herself.

"I can't just sit there and wait. I have to take the initiative and see what's going on with Li Zhiming!"

Ji Ling'er has never been a hesitant person.

After she had an idea, she stood up and walked out of the hall.

A disciple from the Hehuan Sect came towards him.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Saint."

"What is it?"

"The spies have sent news that a treasure is suspected to have appeared in the Northern Wasteland. Currently, a large number of forces have sent people to investigate."

"The Northern Wasteland..."

Ji Ling'er frowned slightly.

"The Northern Wasteland is very far away from our Hehuan Sect. The journey is long, and there are two huge behemoths, Tianjian Mountain and Zhenyuan Sect, nearby. If it weren't for the extremely precious treasure of heaven and earth, there would be no need for our Hehuan Sect to fight for it. The risk is too high and the gain is not worth the loss."

"The Saint Maiden nodded, and the Sect Master asked the High Priest to divine, and the result was that there was a great opportunity in the Northern Wasteland, so the Sect Master asked me to inform Your Highness, hoping that Your Highness would go and try to seize this great opportunity."

"A great opportunity..."

Ji Ling'er looked slightly solemn.

The high priest seldom performed divination, but his predictions were never wrong. Even if they were not 100% accurate, they were almost correct.

If the high priest said that there were great opportunities in the Northern Wilderness, then it was probably true.

"This time, the sect leader asked Her Royal Highness the Saint Lady and the old sect leader to lead the sect's masters to the northern wilderness to search for treasures." The man said again.

"Okay, I understand."

Ji Ling'er nodded.

After the disciple who delivered the message left, Ji Ling'er fell into a brief period of contemplation.

After a while, a wicked smile appeared on her face.

"Zhenyuan Sect is not far from the Northern Wasteland. If a treasure appears, Zhenyuan Sect will definitely send people there. Li Zhiming will definitely not miss this opportunity."

"Okay, I'll go with Grandpa and catch Li Zhiming!"

Ji Linger snorted coldly. During this trip to the Northern Wilderness, she was determined to capture Li Zhiming!
