I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 52 Refining Weapons with Elixir Fire, The Butterfly Demon Blade
The sun was high in the sky, at noon.

When Li Boyang came out of the Ghost God Cliff Cave on the back mountain.

The blazing sunlight shone directly on the misty peaks, making them gleam.

I strolled along the narrow path behind the mountain all the way to the mountain god temple.

Li Boyang's gaze was inevitably drawn to a muddy swamp nearby.

The swamp was not naturally formed, but rather polluted by a dense layer of malevolent energy.

Deeper into the swamp, the corpse of the gnat that Li Boyang had once killed had now decomposed into a mutilated skeleton.

Theoretically speaking, very few plants can take root and reproduce in such harsh conditions.

However, life is considered a "miracle" precisely because it finds its own way.

"That's... a morning glory?"

At this moment, what came into Li Boyang's view was a pink flower that had just sprouted.

If you disregard its growing environment, it looks exactly like the morning glory in Li Boyang's memory.

"Plants are actually growing in this godforsaken place?"

As Li Boyang's gaze shifted from the morning glories to the swamp, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

Since conventional breeding methods can no longer achieve breakthroughs in improving varieties.

Could this magical energy help a species break through its own limits?
Thinking of this, Li Boyang couldn't help but walk closer to the morning glory and reach out his hand.

Just then, the morning glory suddenly turned its petals outward, revealing the fine, sharp teeth hidden inside.

Caught off guard, Li Boyang's finger was bitten by the morning glory.

"This...ignores my protective sword aura?"

This unexpected scene left Li Boyang momentarily stunned.

Even more strangely, despite the fact that blood was seeping from his fingers, Li Boyang did not feel any pain at all.

On the contrary, an unusual tingling sensation was spreading along the wound towards Li Boyang's body.

A pleasant illusion seemed to surface in his mind as well.

Is this thing poisonous?!

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, the vital energy within Li Boyang's body instantly surged.

Since transferring the curse of the gnat to the shadow, Li Boyang's body has been filled with only pure life energy.

These vital energies may not be as violent or powerful as malevolent energy.

However, when it comes to toxins that invade its body, the vital energy exhibits a highly efficient self-healing property.

"call!"

In the blink of an eye, the enhanced immune system expelled the neurotoxins from Li Boyang's body.

As he slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, Li Boyang could clearly smell a stench in his mouth that wouldn't dissipate no matter what.

"The alluring flowers that bloom in treacherous places should not be underestimated."

Looking at the morning glory that was still tightly biting its own finger, Li Boyang couldn't help but smile wryly.

Fortunately, Li Boyang's body has been strengthened by both life force and earth vein energy, so the trumpet flower did not bite off his finger.

Even so, the aggressiveness of the morning glory still shocked Li Boyang.

It can ignore its own protective sword energy, bite through flesh and blood comparable to steel, and add that neurotoxin similar to a hallucinogen...

If you were to throw this morning glory outside, it would definitely be a super plant standing at the top of the food chain.

A moment later, in the courtyard of the temple keeper of the mountain god temple.

"What kind of look do you have?"

Xi Luo, who was sunbathing in the yard, spotted Li Boyang with his finger bitten by a morning glory flower.

Now, Li Boyang not only uprooted the morning glory, but also held a pile of soil he had just dug out of the swamp.

Because her appearance was so bizarre, Xi Luo couldn't even find the right words to express her feelings.

"I just found a pretty interesting plant, and I'm planning to transplant it into the yard."

With a nonchalant wave of his hand, Li Boyang skillfully walked to a corner of the yard and buried the morning glory along with the soil.

"Where is the eldest girl? Where is she now?"

While busy with the planting work, he didn't forget to look back for Li Jingshu's whereabouts...

Before Li Boyang could finish speaking, Li Jingshu turned her back to the two of them and quietly slipped out of the study.

"Li Jingshu?"

Seeing Li Jingshu's reckless and disregardful behavior, Li Boyang felt a sense of foreboding.

"what!"

The result was exactly as Li Boyang had predicted.

Startled, Li Jingshu immediately turned around, holding a butterfly knife in her hand.

The butterfly knife danced and spun in Li Jingshu's fingertips, displaying both dexterity and its dangerous nature.

"I think I told you not to play with such dangerous knives, didn't I?"

That butterfly knife is no ordinary knife.

That was a weapon that Li Boyang had tentatively extracted the fire from the Prison Soul Cauldron a year ago and then forged separately.

Its blade is made from meteorite iron from the E'tu, and its hilt is made from the horns of some kind of mythical beast.

As the butterfly knife took shape, Li Boyang even faintly heard a roar like that of a wild beast.

He once tried to analyze the effect of cinnabar fire on butterfly knives.

The result was that the only conclusion was that "this is a knife made of ordinary materials".

The only thing Li Boyang was certain of was that this butterfly knife was definitely not simple—it was most likely a demon knife.

After all, although the Dan Fire can't directly improve the properties of materials like the Fire of Evil Qi, it is definitely not some ordinary fire.

"Um... I was just looking... just looking..."

Feeling guilty, Li Jingshu hid the butterfly knife behind her back, not daring to look Li Boyang in the eye.

"That knife is dangerous..."

Seeing this, Li Boyang could only sigh softly, and then emphasized again.

"However, if you can maintain a constant flow of vital energy, I can give you this knife."

As long as Li Jingshu can maintain the flow of vital energy within her body, she will naturally be able to generate a layer of protective aura.

Even if she were to accidentally cut herself with the butterfly knife, she would absolutely not be able to break through the protective aura.

"Okay! It's a deal!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jingshu's eyes lit up as she answered.

This is the "carrot and stick" educational method that Li Boyang specifically used against Li Jingshu.

This tactic has proven to be very effective for Li Jingshu.

This naive girl simply couldn't resist the temptation of "carrots," and this time was no exception.

"Alright! Go and get something to eat first, we have a literature class next."

Slowly standing up, Li Boyang's words successfully made Li Jingshu's face fall again.

"Huh? It's already noon?"
