Chapter 388 Chapters 289-291: Ten Thousand Miles Underwater
Having decided to cultivate here, with their personalities, they naturally wouldn't want to waste any time. Looking at the black-and-white Ghost Butterfly in Yi Luo Xiang's hand, Xin Yun said with a smile, "Yi Luo... your Ghost Butterfly should be able to lay Ghost Eggs now, right?"
"Hm?" Yi Luo Xiang looked at Xin Yun in confusion and shook her head, "I'm afraid it's not yet possible. This Ghost Butterfly is still merely a One Star without rank. It needs to be at least one star of the bronze rank before it can congeal Ghost Eggs. In the future, for every star gained, it can congeal one more Ghost Egg. Unless the Ghost Egg dies, it cannot congeal another one."
Liao Ran nodded, understanding the situation. Xin Yun did not say much more and directly controlled Yinglong to dive down, luring the Ghost Butterfly upward. Yi Luo Xiang took the opportunity to control the Ghost Butterfly to undergo a soul parasitism. After devouring the Ghost Butterfly's Power of the Soul, it returned to Yi Luo Xiang, and the Ghost Butterfly's strength grew stronger by a fraction.
Time passed slowly. Every day, aside from resting and cultivating, they did not stop for a moment, continuously repeating this incredibly monotonous work. Finally... a week later, the Ghost Butterfly, having devoured the Spiritual Bodies of over a thousand other Ghost Butterflies, finally succeeded in advancing to the bronze One Star level. From this point onward, the Ghost Butterfly could finally congeal its first Ghost Egg.
The main method of attack for a Ghost Butterfly is often ranged attacks like Soul Impact, but the most important are similar to ghostly body-possessing attacks, relentless like maggots attached to bone. As for laying Ghost Eggs, it is a talent unique to Ghost Butterflies.
After finding out that Yi Luo Xiang could congeal Ghost Eggs, Xin Yun was the most excited one. Without hesitation, he ran over to Yi Luo Xiang and excitedly said, "Quick... plant the first Ghost Egg in me!"@@novelbin@@
"Ah!" Upon hearing Xin Yun's words, Yi Luo Xiang trembled involuntarily. Previously... she had never thought about implanting a Ghost Egg into Xin Yun. You should know... once a Ghost Egg is implanted, Xin Yun's life and death would be in her hands. With just a thought, Xin Yun's fate would be decided.

Looking at Xin Yun with emotion, Yi Luo Xiang didn't know how to express her gratitude for his trust. In fact, she truly would not betray Xin Yun, no matter the reason; she would never do so.
Seeing Yi Luo Xiang's grateful expression, Xin Yun couldn't help but laugh. The reason he voluntarily asked for the Ghost Egg implantation was mainly for the opportunity of slave-making that came with the Ghost Egg. Once he had a Ghost Egg implanted, although his life and death would be controlled by Yi Luo Xiang, he would also gain the Spiritual Power from the Ghost Egg, as well as the chance to enslave Wild Dragons that came with it.
Firstly, Xin Yun was not worried that Yi Luo Xiang would harm him. Secondly... even if Yi Luo Xiang wanted to harm him, that was not possible to achieve. Xin Yun's Thunderbolt was the greatest nemesis to Spiritual Bodies. With just a thought, the Ghost Egg would instantly turn to ash. How could it possibly threaten Xin Yun at all?
Nothing is absolute. There are no invincible techniques or abilities. Everything has a solution. The key lies in whether you can find it and whether you can grasp it.
Faced with Xin Yun's request, Yi Luo Xiang naturally would not refuse. She also knew that as long as she did no harm to Xin Yun, the Ghost Egg would only bring benefits, with no disadvantages. She was confident in herself, that no matter what Xin Yun did or what mistake he made, she would definitely not harm him. So, why not plant one in him?
With hands gently held aloft, the Ghost Butterfly fluttered its wings slowly. The next moment... a star-like bright silver point floated up from the body of the Ghost Butterfly, hovered in the air for a short while, then suddenly shot into Xin Yun's body, attaching itself to his soul, and then became silent once again.
The Ghost Egg is actually a kind of parasite that lives on top of the soul, feeding on the Power of the Soul. Once infested, if the Ghost Egg devours a large amount of the Power of the Soul, the human body will rapidly deteriorate. However, if not stimulated, these Ghost Eggs merely reside quietly above, not consuming too much of the Power of the Soul, thus having no impact on the person.
After successfully implanting the Ghost Egg, Yi Luo Xiang chirped excitedly, "Alright, it's all set. How about it... do you want to enslave a Ghost Butterfly as well? They are very powerful!"
"This..." Xin Yun scratched his head in embarrassment. Although Ghost Butterflies were indeed powerful, he had no desire to control a Ghost Butterfly. For a man to play with butterflies was a bit odd, and it didn't really suit Xin Yun. After all... Xin Yun was not of the Soul System and wouldn't be able to control a Ghost Butterfly well.
After successfully implanting the Ghost Egg, the two resumed their actions, but this time their goal was no longer just the rankless Ghost Butterflies. They ventured deeper, luring out Ghost Butterflies of the bronze rank one by one.
Although a lot of time was spent, both knew the importance of the Ghost Butterfly to the faction and that it was most cost-effective to boost its strength as quickly as possible.
Proceeding downward, they continuously cleared out the Ghost Butterflies around them. Finally... a month later, after devouring tens of thousands of bronze rank Ghost Butterflies, the Ghost Butterfly reached the Silver One Star level. At this point, it could congeal eleven Ghost Eggs. Aside from the first one planted in Xin Yun, the other ten Ghost Eggs began to come into play.
Once a Ghost Egg was planted, Yi Luo Xiang could use the Main Butterfly, stimulating the Ghost Eggs with her own Power of the Soul for development, devouring the host's Power of the Soul, emerging from the cocoon as a butterfly, and strengthening the Main Butterfly's strength, increasing the efficiency by tenfold compared to before!
