Talent Swallowing Hero



5) Celestial Butterfly: A legendary evolution that the world has long forgotten.

Ingredients: Celestial Crystal, 1000 Supreme Grade Moon Stones, 1000 Supreme Grade Spirit Stones, Divine Moon Grass and One day of evolution time.

Soon, five evolution paths for the rank 1 white caterpillar appeared in Leo's head starting from the simplest one to the most difficult one.

'The first two evolutionary paths are simple and even if I evolve it, it won't be of much use and as for the last evolutionary path [Celestial Butterfly], he can't collect the ingredients.'

After reading the information about the five evolutionary paths, Leo quickly eliminated three of them and focused on two evolutionary paths.

'I will try evolving it into a Nightmare Butterfly if I find a Dark Moonlight Core in the next few days, otherwise, I will just settle for the Vitality Butterfly.'

The moonlight dew and moonlight essence are not rare but they are just so costly that each drop could cost as much as 1000 low-level spirit stones and as high as 3000 low-level spirit stones.

'For now, I will just collect those two items as I can use Moonlight Dew for refining the Foundation Establishment Pills after I found the Lunar Pearl.'

Buying Moonlight Dew won't raise any suspicions as Moonlight Dew and Moonlight Essence are used in many things. From refining vitality pills to directly consuming them to recover the dantian or injuries.

As for evolving the Caterpillar into a Nightmare Butterfly, the main ingredient is Dark Moonlight Core which is as valuable as Lunar Pill which was a main ingredient of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

'Anyway, I should wait and see how things will turn out in the coming days before I change my plans.'

With that thought in mind, Leo placed the caterpillar back into the cabin and took the remaining 10 fragments of the Moon Stones from the cabin as he didn't want the caterpillar to use those fragments of the Moon Stones to evolve.

'After settling everything, the things I need to buy tonight in the Black Market are Fragments of the Moon Stones, Moonlight Dew and Moonlight Essence, Ingredients for Flowing-Time Pill and Foundation Expansion Pills, Spiritual Essence Pills, Qi Harmony Pills and Spirit Channeling Pills.'

Among the 10 rank 2 pill recipes he got from the enlightenment, Leo decided to refine two pills that were quite useful for both Qi-Refining Cultivators and the Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators.

The required ingredients for these two pills could be easily found in the Black Market and thus, Leo selected them and planned to generate some income sources for the sect.

Of course, he was not planning to sell them through the sect and he didn't want to reveal his identity for as long as possible.

As for rank 1 pills, he was not planning to refine them for now as it would be quite a hassle for him; instead, he was planning to directly buy the high-level rank 1 pills before merging them.

If not for the cost of the high-level rank 2 pills, Leo would have directly bought them. Moreover, as far as he knew, there were no Flow-time Pills and Foundation Expansion Pills available in the Black Market.

A Flow-time Pill can help the cultivators below the Golden Core Realm to enter into a state where they could experience the cultivation of one day for multiple days depending on the level of the Flow-time Pill.

As for the Foundation Expansion Pills, they could help a foundation establishment cultivator to expand their foundation. The more it expands, the bigger the Golden Core would be formed while breaking through to the Golden Core Realm.

The bigger the Golden Core, the stronger the Golden Core Realm Cultivator will be.

"Now, let's go and distribute some pills to my sect's disciples and at the same time, I should congratulate Gallant for his breakthrough."

With that thought in mind, Leo settled all the items and decided what he should give to his disciples and quietly left his Cultivation Chambers.

"Little Three, ask everyone to gather at the Training Grounds."

Just as he walked out of the Cultivation Chambers, Leo saw a young man around 20 years old and ordered them.

"Yes, Sect Master."

The young man named little three was surprised to see the Sect Master because the Sect Master is known to stay in the seclusion of all of them.

However, he had already seen two times in just two days.

Nevertheless, he respectfully bowed to Leo and rushed to inform all the disciples in the sect.

...

In no time, Little Three had brought all the disciples to the training grounds and stood in a straight line side by side facing Leo.

"Little Nine, come and stand beside me."

Among the items Leo currently has, only Qi Harmony Pill is useful for Little Nine; however, it only has a 20 percent success rate and Leo didn't want to give it to Little Nine as he would find a proper Foundation Establishment Pill for him.

"Come forward and state your name, age and cultivation. Among you 12 disciples, I will reward three disciples whom I am satisfied with your cultivation and age."

After Little Nine stood beside him, Leo looked at the remaining 12 disciples who were all below the age of level 25 years, Leo gave an order.

"Little One, Age 23 years, level 7 Qi-Refinement Cultivator."

"Little Two, Age 21 years, level 5 Qi-Refinement Cultivator."

"Little Three, Age 20 years, level 5 Qi-Refinement Cultivator."

"Little Four, Age 19 years, level 4 Qi-Refinement Cultivator."

.

.

.

.

.

"Little Thirteen, Age 18 years, level 5 Qi-Refinement Cultivator."

Soon, one disciple after another took a step forward before shouting their name, age and cultivation.

'Little Nine, Age 18 years, Peak Qi-Refinement Cultivator.'

As for Little Nine, Leo knew he was a one-in-a-thousand-level genius.

"Little One, even though your cultivation has stagnated for a year now, you have taken great care of your younger brother. So, I have decided to reward you with a special Spirit Channeling Pill."

Leo called the eldest of his disciples and gave an exquisite pill in a pill bottle and informed them,

"If you consume this pill, you can instantly breakthrough to level 8 Qi-refinement and at the same time, you will receive a cultivation boost for the next 24 hours."

"Since you have reached a bottleneck and stayed in level 7 for nearly a year, with your cultivation talent, you can reach peak Qi-refinement realm after a day of seclusion."

Leo wanted to use this opportunity to make his other disciples put more focus on their cultivation along with news that the sect has enough resources to support them.

Even though they loyally stayed back in his sect, Leo wanted them to know that fact so that they could fully focus on their cultivation without worrying about the cultivation resources.

Also, despite that pill being a top-level rank 1 pill, Leo didn't mention it; instead, he only said it was a special pill.

"What?"

When they heard Leo's words, all the sect disciples were shocked.

As far as they knew, a spirit channelling pill can increase the cultivation speed for 12 hours and now, the same pill in their master's hands had more effects other than 24 hours cultivation boost.

"Thank you, sect master. I will not disappoint you."

Soon, Little One suppressed his shock and hurriedly thanked Leo as he took the pill bottle with shaking hands and shining eyes.

"Congratulations, Big Brother."

"You have worked hard for the sect and it is time for you to enjoy the gains."

.

.

.

Even though the other disciples saw such a valuable pill in their eldest senior brother's hands, not a single one of them was jealous because he worked very hard for the sect.

He even stopped cultivating and helped his younger brother with cultivation and cultivation techniques and eventually became the most reliable person in the sect.

Even though Leo and other elders also helped them with their doubts, they were busy providing cultivation resources for the sect while trying to improve their strength so they won't be bullied by anyone.

"Now, I have another two rare pills that could help a Qi-refinement cultivator instantly break through a single level followed by a 10 times cultivation boost for 10 minutes."

Leo explained about the pills' effects first as he continued, "In short, it could be considered a mini Spirit Channeling Pill that I gave to your Eldest Senior Brother."

"After Little One, I heard it was Little Two and Little Three who maintained the cleanliness of the sect. So, I will reward them with these pills."

Soon, Leo announced the names as Little Two and Little Three excitedly walked forward to take the reward for their hard work.

Even though it seemed like Leo gave the pills in descending order of age it was not.

The thing is, Little One, Little Two and Little Three fulfilled their roles as the senior disciples of the sects and didn't make their juniors work.

They worked and suffered while letting their juniors cultivate and for the youngsters of this world, decreasing their cultivating time is equivalent to giving up their future. But, still, those three disciples worked.

Therefore, it was only right for them to get the benefits of working hard by cutting down their cultivating time for the sect.

"Thank you, Sect Master. We will continue to work hard for the sect."

Both Little Two and Little Three thanked Leo from the bottom of their hearts as they never expected that they could get such special pills from the Sect Master himself.
