Chapter 132 Jianmu's Second Divine Power, Silver Moon Grass Quest

Faced with Li Ye's surprise, the seashell only opened slightly, and a round golden pill inside emitted several beams of warm light.

It is clearly intelligent.

Li Ye sensed that its intelligence was intoxicated and not very bright, even its inner core was being exposed so carelessly.

It's like a drunkard opening his clothes to expose his round belly.

Whether it was the intoxicating smell of alcohol or not, Li Ye vaguely seemed to see a rather plump man with his chest and belly exposed...

"..."

He quickly shook his head to banish the bizarre image from his mind and tried to communicate with the Drunken Light Clam.

Although this creature was a Golden Core level spirit beast, it had no airs at all and answered almost every question Li Ye asked.

Thanks to its cooperation, Li Ye finally learned about this guy's background.

It turns out that deep within the sea of ​​clouds in the Nine Heavens, which most cultivators have never encountered, there is a pool of heavenly wine, from which it emerged.

It contains fine wine made from the misty clouds and ethereal energy of the heavens, and any one of the Drunken Light Spirit Clams inside is at the Golden Core level.

They possess a special ability to transform their favorite ingredients into beverages; it was only because it sensed these river jade mushrooms that it woke up.

"So these river jade mushrooms were transformed from the vital energy forced out by river vines and muddy earthworms?"

Looking at the round, light blue beads floating in mid-air, Li Ye couldn't detect that they were formed from yang energy, even with his current divine sense and perception.

Judging from both their appearance and the way they were born, they should have been nourished by water elemental power or yin energy.

The Drunken Light Clam's shell opened and closed as if it were nodding.

Then suddenly a powerful suction force came out, which swept almost all the light blue beads into the shell.

The status column instantly displayed two statuses: "Drunk" and "Pregnant Wine Beads".

"Hiccup~"

A loud burp was heard.

Before the clam shell closed, it expelled several deeper blue beads, conveying a sense of consciousness.

Then it fell asleep again.

"It absorbed all the yang energy..."

"Are these gifts for me?"

Li Ye muttered as she put it back in the bag.

Reaching out and grabbing those few blue beads, just holding them allowed me to smell a very special aroma of wine, as if the cool, refreshing vapor of river water was lingering in my nostrils.

It says that these are the "wine beads" it nurtured, a special kind of yeast that can brew fine wine.

The liquor business is certainly a highly profitable one, and Li Ye had once considered getting involved. However, nowadays, all liquors have their own secret recipes, and even if he had some good spiritual materials, it would be difficult to make liquor without the method.

"There are special bacteria in the yeast that can ferment, so how come this river jade mushroom can also become a kind of bacteria that is beneficial to brewing?"

Although Li Ye hadn't seriously studied this subject, he had at least watched some introductory videos and had a general understanding of it.

So, the concept of microbial fermentation also exists in the cultivation world, only perhaps the terminology differs?
"To brew wine, you need grain. I happen to have some wheat lees here, so I might consider growing more wheat."

His first pot of gold came from the profits of wheat grown at the beginning of spring, and he has already planned to start planting wheat again next spring.

Plant wheat and rice in all four seasons to see if improvements can be made. If these major crops can be improved, even if only slightly, it would be a great achievement.

"and many more."

When it came to his achievements, Li Ye suddenly had a flash of inspiration and glanced at the Jianmu tree in his dantian.

To his astonishment, he discovered that the Jianmu tree, which had originally been just a sapling, had grown another section, and its overflowing vitality poured into his dantian like a rain of light.

【+20000. 】

First, there is an increase in vital essence.

Then came cultivation level, which directly reached the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.

Li Ye couldn't help but marvel once again at how quickly his cultivation had improved; he was already close to reaching the Golden Core stage.
"The small world in Jianmu Village... is about ten acres in size."

"Wait, what is this supernatural power...?"

He opened his palm, and a tender new sprout slowly grew from the center of his palm, with some mysterious runes on its surface.

At first glance, it looks like a flint worm arching its body.

"Oh?"

"Transform the supernatural powers granted to me by the spiritual plants and beasts into talismans?"

This is truly an interesting supernatural power. Li Ye has already received many spiritual gifts from spiritual plants and beasts, and these gifts have been transformed into modifications to certain supernatural powers.

The current supernatural power is to materialize those modified supernatural powers in the form of talismans. If it is imprinted on a talisman or scroll, one can possess this supernatural power.

A very interesting kind of power.

In addition to the essence of life, the land within the Jianmu tree, cultivation, and the supernatural power to transform power into talismans, the Jianmu tree also imparted to him a very special supernatural power.

Li Ye gazed into the distance, circulating his magical power throughout his body.

"Whoosh-"

In an instant, his figure transformed into a beam of light, traversing a distance of five hundred acres in a short while, and arriving at the end of the cave.

However, the price was that some bloodstains appeared on his body, and his originally overflowing magical power was almost completely depleted, as if a large hole had been torn in it. His divine sense was also greatly depleted.

"What terrifying escape techniques!" Li Ye looked at the path he had come from. The speed was so fast that he had covered a distance of five hundred miles in less than a breath.

This was actually a pretty good supernatural ability for him. Escape techniques are a very high priority among supernatural abilities, since running away when you can't win is sometimes very useful.

This is the benefit that Jianmu received after being upgraded again.

In Li Ye's view, the most useful thing is not this escape technique, but the ability to materialize the technique.

With this ability, he could even study the principles behind how spirit plants or spirit beasts use these supernatural powers.

It's not impossible that a new entry could be added to the classics on supernatural powers and magic in the future.

"Take a break."

"I'm really quite tired."

He looked at the newly renovated cave in the distance, found a newly built bamboo house, lay down on a bamboo rocking chair, and gazed at the vast, misty lake in the distance.

Suddenly, I saw tiny snowflakes beginning to fall from the sky.

Only then did I realize with a start that it was already winter.

winter……

It's time to take on the task of planting Silver Moon Grass a new batch.

Once I've saved up some more spirit stones, I'll continue buying spirit plants and spirit beasts to fill my cave dwelling, and also buy some precious tea tree and various crop seeds.

Once everything has settled down, it will be time to cultivate your own Spirit Vine.

but.

"Have I forgotten something?"

He muttered to himself.

……

"Fellow Daoist!"

"You've really kept me waiting!"

When Yuan Yan saw Li Ye arrive, he was so aggrieved that he almost cried. He had exhausted all his connections and relationships but still couldn't find any information about Li Ye.

He was even warned by the Qingqiu clan patriarch of the Four Seasons Treasure Pavilion. He could only sit in front of the rocking chair in his cave every day, eagerly hoping that Li Ye would arrive soon.

He even had to ask someone to buy food for him because he was worried that he wouldn't be there when Li Ye came.

"I'm sorry." Li Ye's attitude was very good. After all, he had broken his promise, so he should apologize.

As soon as he apologized, Yuan Yan's horn trembled slightly, and he quickly shook his head: "Fellow Daoist, it is normal to have urgent business. Just don't forget me here."

"..." Li Ye realized that if he apologized again, this Fellow Daoist Yuan Yan might be frightened.

So he simply had Yuan Yan lead him into the underground divine palace and began to use the Love Song to help Yuan Yan communicate with the divine body.

This time it went much more smoothly.

The love song even lasted for almost half an hour.

Li Ye could vaguely sense that the Melody of Understanding resonated with the Deer God. Perhaps after a few more times, he would be able to discover the connection between the Melody of Understanding and the Deer God.

Because he broke his promise this time, Li Ye did not want the money he was supposed to give him. In Li Ye's opinion, credit was very important. However, Yuan Yan looked like he was about to cry and forcibly stuffed 500,000 spirit stones into his hand.

"Fellow Daoist, if you don't even want this little bit of spirit stone, do you want my life?" Yuan Yan had already felt that his form had stabilized after communicating with the Deer God's divine body twice.

They were not about to let go of Li Ye, their lifeline.

He had met too many people and was really afraid that Li Ye wouldn't want to come. After all, someone as capable as Li Ye could earn a lot of spirit stones anywhere.

I'm afraid that others wouldn't even look at this aspect of me.

Helpless, Li Ye could only accept the 500,000 spirit stones that the man insisted on giving him, and then promised to come on time next time before leaving.

After leaving, he went straight to the Hall of Deacons.

Just as he was about to accept the task of planting Silvermoon Grass, the disciple from the Deacon Hall handed him a contract in surprise:
"Senior Brother Li."

"As per your master Su Xing's orders, you will be in charge of a portion of this year's Silver Moon Grass planting task, covering a hundred market towns."

"..."

Li Ye's expression flickered slightly.

He had heard his master say before that he would be in charge of this mission, but he didn't expect it to involve a hundred markets.

"Thank you for your trouble, junior brother." He calmly took the scroll, walked aside to read it quietly, and then took a deep breath.

This indicates that each market has a quota of one thousand Silver Moon Grass seeds.

One hundred markets would be a full 100,000 seeds, and all 100,000 seeds would need to be nurtured and germinated by him.

Only then can the sprouted Silver Moon Grass be transported to various markets through channels.

Then, the disciples stationed in the market will select suitable people to assign tasks. Finally, the best performers in the Silver Moon Grass planting task will be personally selected by him to see if they have the strength to proceed to the seasonal tasks.

He immediately realized that this was clearly an opportunity for him to select talent, and if he found a suitable candidate, he would even have the authority to recommend them for a position.

—That's what happened with the Spirit Vine before.

While it's unlikely that someone with his extraordinary talent will emerge, there's still a chance to find a hidden gem. That's how the Four Seasons Sect repeatedly filters and recruits all talented individuals into its ranks.

"seed."

“Cultivating seeds is not a simple matter.”

Li Ye took the scroll and headed towards the cave, pondering how to ensure that all the seeds would sprout—it was absolutely impossible to bind them all.

Previously, both the Flint Crystal Insect and Silver Moon Grass were in demand, which is why they were so well-suited to create such a miracle.

However, he already has Silver Moon Grass and Flint Crystal Insects that he has been cultivating for a long time, so it should be possible to optimize the seeds, not to mention the secret techniques of a Spirit Plant Master.

Moreover, at the end of the scroll was a spell given to him by his master.

It is a supernatural power related to the moon, called "Shumu Flute," associated with the Xiguang Bell.

"It seems this is another opportunity given by Master."

"The seasonal tasks have always been handled by Golden Core cultivators, but now a portion has been assigned to me. Success will bring both fame and profit."

He was truly grateful to have such a devoted master who cared so much for his disciples, and he was determined to do this mission well and not fail.

He quickened his pace and swiftly returned to his cave to begin making arrangements.

He didn't actually know anything about cultivating Silver Moon Grass.

When it was planted, it belonged to the original owner, and it was already a semi-finished product when it was acquired; all that was needed was to find a place to plant it.

But everything takes time.

If a plant cultivator doesn't know how to cultivate seeds, that would be utterly ridiculous, enough to make people laugh until they faint.

To nourish these seeds and enable them to germinate successfully, Li Ye dug a huge lake directly in the Moonlight Spirit Land.

Then, spirit stones are used to make individual spirit bowls.

Between the spirit bowls, the silk of the empty ink spirit silkworm is wrapped around the roots of the spirit vein willow, so that the spirit vein willow can ensure that the spiritual energy of each seed is evenly distributed.

Finally, he used the formation he learned from the deer herd to gather the moonlight that was pouring down from all around the Moonlight Spirit Land into the lake in a way that was close to natural scattering.

Looking into the distance, countless moonlight rays converged towards the lake like flowing water, and the spiritual energy of the snowflakes falling from the sky was absorbed by the spiritual liquid in the lake, just like a bright moon reflected on the ground.

Inside the spirit bowl floated seeds, each one like a crescent moon, crystal clear.

After completing the preparations, he went to his carefully cultivated Silvermoon Grass and Flint Crystal Insects, which clearly knew what Li Ye was going to do.

The silver moon grass swayed gently.

Under the moonlight, it exuded a spiritual power as fiery as flames.

No... it's fire!
This is a peculiar pale silver flame that, as it burns, constantly comes into contact with the surrounding moonlight and snowflakes, using them as fuel to gradually spread outwards.

The flames danced like moonlight sprites.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Li Ye seemed to feel the moonlight freeze for a fleeting moment, so quickly that he couldn't even catch it, and then everything returned to normal.

"I never realized you had changed so much."

Li Ye looked at the Silver Moon Grass and realized that he sometimes didn't observe carefully enough. He had always thought that the Flint Crystal Insects had strange changes, but he didn't expect that the Silver Moon Grass, which was bound to it, must also have changes.

After releasing its moonfire, the Silvermoon Grass simply stayed there quietly, using its leaves to shield the wriggling flint worms, as serene as a lady in a traditional Chinese painting.

The spirit fire under the moonlight was moving forward completely according to Li Ye's will. In order to allow them to accumulate power, Li Ye deliberately did not move forward quickly, but slowly watched the moonlight grow brighter and brighter.

In the end, it even surpassed the moonlight pouring down from the sky.

All the snowflakes and moonlight were uncontrollably thrown into the moonfire, yet it burned without harming a single spirit beast or spirit tree.

On the contrary, the spirit trees were burning with flames, their vitality was becoming more and more vigorous, and their leaves were showing a tendency to turn from emerald green to silver.

It wasn't until he had spun around twice that Li Ye could no longer control the Moonfire.

He then stood in front of the Spirit Lake.

He stretched out his hand and waved it towards Moon Lake—

"go with!"

"Hoohoo!"

The moonfire roared and surged into Moon Lake in an instant.

Elegant and magnificent moonlight flames burned on the roots of each spirit bowl and each spirit vein willow.

Spiritual energy surged, and life force trembled.

The light in the entire lake was so bright that it seemed to be about to ascend to heaven.

Just then, Li Ye suddenly looked up at the moon that had suddenly appeared in the sky, his eyes revealing an undisguised look of surprise.
