Chapter 138 The Spirit Vine Sprouts from the Ground, Nine Songs: Mountain Spirit
More than three million spirit stones.

That doesn't even include the box of natural spirit stones.

—This natural spirit stone came at just the right time. It will definitely be much better than ordinary spirit stones when we use it to set up the core of the spirit formation.

After surveying his cave dwelling, Li Ye began making purchases.

The goal this time is to completely improve the cave dwelling, lay the foundation for it, and then plant the Spirit Vine.

He originally intended to buy a few more spiritual veins near East Lake, since with such a large lake, the spiritual energy would inevitably become insufficient as more and more creatures were raised there in the future.

However, the abyss-bottom clam that the Kaiming Clan presented contained a fourth-order spiritual vein. Since he didn't usually need that much spiritual energy, he could share it with East Lake.

Therefore, the spiritual energy needed for East Lake was saved.

After careful consideration, he purchased several spirit vein willows and third-tier spirit veins to ensure that the spiritual energy inside the cave remained stable.

Then, based on the spiritual plants and beasts of each region, a new batch was purchased, such as the Cloud Mirage Dragon in East Lake, various primordial spiritual plants, and various small spiritual beasts.

He didn't think too much about this purchase, nor did he care about whether it was bound to his own domain or not; his main purpose was simply to fill the empty space in his cave.

So I buy things very casually, anything and everything, since it's cheaper to buy in bulk anyway.

After this filling, the cave finally came to life and was no longer as empty as before.

At least you can see birds flying around in the sky, insects chirping in the grass, and mythical creatures like rabbits and wolves running and hunting.

As he stood atop the clouds overlooking his cave dwelling, he felt it wasn't an illusion—the cave dwelling was noticeably more vibrant after the addition of these spiritual plants and beasts.

It feels increasingly comfortable, and even the breeze carries a natural, pervasive spirituality.

He even felt that the Jianmu tree within his body had undergone some subtle changes after absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world.

That proves his method was correct:
Gradually fill the interior of the cave, making the internal spiritual energy environment closer to the external natural environment.

The complex spiritual energy nurtured by such an environment must also be beneficial for farming.

The cost was that these items cost him a total of 1.5 million spirit stones.

"It's something that has to be spent; you can always earn more when it's gone."

He convinced himself.

With the remaining spirit stones, he bought a type of tea tree he had long admired called "Earthly Spirit Tea".

Unfortunately, he could only buy one, because one plant cost one million spirit stones, which also emptied all the sect contribution points he had painstakingly accumulated.

In addition, each cave dwelling can only purchase one of these tea trees.

"but……"

Looking at the Diyuan tea tree he had bought, Li Ye couldn't help but mutter, "You're actually this big."

Before him stood a gigantic tree with leaves like pine needles, covering an area of ​​five acres.

The dense branches form a canopy-like structure.

Each layer of branches is a different color: yellow, gold, blue, red, and green.

When you reach the top, the tree trunks are almost piercing into the clouds, and the white leaves are inseparable from the clouds, as if they are supporting a cloud.

Its footprint is only slightly smaller than that of the Magnolia simonii.

However, its spiritual power far surpasses the latter...

This tea tree has already reached the Golden Core stage in terms of spiritual power.

I bought a Golden Core level spirit tree for one million spirit stones plus more than three thousand contribution points.

This is ridiculous enough to be outrageous if you told anyone.

Even spirit wood of the Golden Core level, and specifically spirit tea trees, can be openly priced.

However, with over three thousand contribution points, Li Ye kept coming up with new things.

The total amount is only due to the one-time reward received after resolving the Hungry Ghost Realm in Dongcang Town.

It's estimated that normally only those who are several generations of immortals, or those who have reached the Golden Core stage, can afford to buy it.

Golden Core level earth element tea trees naturally possess sentience.

After sensing Li Ye's presence, it proactively extended a branch towards Li Ye.

On the leafy branches, there is a patch of gray, small, round leaves that are inconspicuous and can be easily missed if you don't look closely.

The leaf is a perfect circle, with a crack in the middle dividing it, just like a yin-yang symbol.

However, the Yin-Yang diagram is still completely gray.

This is the true "Geographical Tea" of the Geographical Tea Tree.

The rest of the leaves are just leaves.

According to the information I saw when I bought it, the Diyuan tea tree can change according to the changes in the Yin-Yang and Five Elements spiritual energy within a certain enclosed space.

For example, if the Yang Wood element is too strong, the Yang side will light up and turn into the color of Jia Wood.

When the Yin Wood energy is too strong, the Yin side will light up and turn into the color of Yi Wood.

If the Yin and Yang on the Earth Origin Tea leaves can light up simultaneously and show a Yin-Yang division, the black and white pattern indicates that the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Qi inside the cave has become stable.

Then it can enter the next stage of growth.

This characteristic is one of the reasons why Li Ye bought it.

With this tea tree, we can not only harvest Earth Element tea leaves to sell, but also monitor the changes in Yin and Yang attributes inside the cave.

"bring it on."

"Let me see how my cave dwelling is now."

Li Ye pressed his finger on a branch of the Diyuan tea tree, and the tea tree instantly emitted an invisible wave that spread outwards like a surging wave.

Some strange spiritual energy it needs is absorbed by it.

then.

The color of the leaf that it extended suddenly changed, representing the simultaneous lighting up of the leaves on both the yin and yang sides, but the colors on them were mainly blue, green and yellow.

These colors were transferred from the branches to more leaves.

Not a moment later.

On the branches of the Diyuan tea tree, patches of blue, green, and yellow tea leaves appear, and the yin and yang and five elements they represent are naturally obvious at a glance.

—Water, Wood, Earth.

Gold and fire are extremely rare, practically nonexistent.

"As expected."

Li Ye narrowed his eyes.

He also felt that his cave dwelling was indeed lacking in fire and metal, and that it was mainly composed of water, wood, and earth.

Although he tried his best to choose spiritual veins with all five elements when purchasing them, the number of other spiritual objects inside the cave still had a greater impact on the environment than the spiritual veins themselves.

But that doesn't matter.

Once he knows exactly what's missing, he can find the right solution.

"Just buy some fire veins and metal ore veins."

"How much balance is needed..."

He tried buying a few fire vein and gold vein stalks, observed the color changes on the leaves, and then bought a few more.

While testing the balance of spiritual energy attributes inside the cave, he bought the necessary array materials for the Spirit Vine and made preparations.

Time flies by in the blink of an eye.

A month later, after taking some time to collect the profits from the local feed and the spirit stones given by Yuan Yan, he finally managed to balance the five elements of spiritual energy inside the cave.

The leaves on the Diyuan tea tree have turned into a simple black and white color, with some mist still lingering around the edges, and they no longer have the magnificent colors they once had.

"finally."

"We can start planting the Spirit Vine now."

Li Ye glanced at his empty money pouch, smiled wryly, and began to set up the spirit energy array needed for the spirit energy vine throughout the entire cave. The array was relatively simple; even though Li Ye didn't know much about arrays, he was able to complete it step by step.

During the construction process, he felt that he should also learn some knowledge about formations, and it seemed like a good idea to use formation master as a minor profession.

But that’s all for the future.

Right now, he's merely constructing a structure that covers the entire cave, including the earth, lakes, rivers, and spiritual veins...

Even the spiritual array that had to be drawn in the sky had already exhausted all of his energy.

In order to complete the Lingji Formation in one go and avoid being disturbed by outsiders, he even sealed off the entire cave and told Yuan Yan and the others that he needed to go into seclusion.

But he forgot one thing...

Su Ya was still staying in his little courtyard.

After Su Ya had been in seclusion for two months and finally refined the elixir, he was just about to share his joy with Li Ye.

Standing in the courtyard, what he saw was a chain made of spirit crystals that stretched across the entire world—the chain pierced through Li Ye's cave dwelling, and was still burning with the spiritual fire belonging to Li Ye.

All around, as far as the eye could see, were these chains.

Unseen by him, these chains not only extended into the sky and the earth, but also connected to all the spiritual plants and beasts within the cave.

This is equivalent to Li Ye using all the spiritual energy in the entire cave to activate the formation and help the Spirit Vine take root and sprout.

The terrifying fluctuations of spiritual energy made Su Ya tremble involuntarily: "What exactly is Junior Brother Li doing?"

He swallowed hard and quickly hid back in the alchemy room, also taking out his personal defensive array and wrapping the room up in layers.

Hiding inside and watching the lightning and thunder and the surge of spiritual energy outside, it felt like standing on a small boat in the mortal world, facing a raging storm.

Just then, Li Ye's voice rang in his ear:

"Senior Brother Su."

"Don't come out."

Su Ya nodded repeatedly, hiding in a corner, completely unaware that the pills he had just refined were flashing.

……

the other side.

In fact, Li Ye only noticed that his senior brother was still in the cave when Su Ya came out of seclusion.

However, the formation has already been activated. Fortunately, Su Ya took out the formation in time to isolate the spiritual energy from the outside world. Otherwise, if the spirit vines had wrapped around Su Ya, it would have been really troublesome.

He stood at the very center of the array plate, which was about several acres in size, and gently placed the seeds of the Spirit Vine into the handful of life-giving water in front of him.

"Ding."

The seed made a crisp sound as it fell into the life-giving water, and a terrifying life force surged from within it.

This vital energy spread outwards.

When it came into contact with the array crystal chains that Li Ye had set up in advance, those chains made of spirit crystals actually turned into lush green vines covered with small white flowers.

All the spirit beasts and plants in the cave raised their heads, looking at the emerald green vines covered with small flowers that came before them.

It conveys a sense of kindness.

—It needs to gain spirituality.

In exchange for spirituality, the Spirit Vine gave up its unique spiritual power.

The spirit beasts and plants, of course, did not refuse, each contributing a wisp of their own spiritual power, which surged upwards along the vines toward the sky.

Finally, the entire array plate and Li Ye were completely enveloped.

At this moment, Li Ye could see that a tender vine was slowly growing and sprouting in the water of life.

At the top of the vine was a pale blue crystal, reflecting Li Ye's face, and within it, one could see the phantom images of all the spirit beasts and plants in the entire cave.

Only a small gap remains.

This gap needs to be filled with Li Ye's divine sense, so that the Spirit Vine can be forever connected with him and become an embodiment of him.

Without hesitation, he extended his finger and gently touched the gemstone.

A wisp of his divine consciousness, carrying an almost imperceptible stream of five-colored light, entered the gem.

then.

The gemstone suddenly shattered.

"boom!"

The flying gem dust, along with all the surrounding spirit vines, exploded, turning into countless points of light that fell like a meteor shower to various parts of the cave.

The terrifying burst of spiritual power almost made Li Ye lose his footing.

Where the dust settles,

Tender vines slowly grew on the earth, in lakes, in rivers, and even in the clouds and halos of the sky.

After a brief period of growth, they quickly disappear, not vanishing, but blending into their surroundings, becoming undetectable by divine sense or the naked eye.

A tender consciousness emanated from among the countless vines and flowed toward Li Ye.

It sounded like a child's innocent voice, as if it were calling out:

"Owner."

Li Ye heard the voice and felt that his consciousness and even his soul could easily enter it.

He thought it that way, and that's what he did.

Then... he was freed from the shackles of his physical body.

Consciousness can clearly perceive the location of countless spirit vines, and through the vines, sense the wind blowing in the cave, the falling snow, and the scattered spiritual energy.

This is truly a rare and novel experience.

Previously, although he could sense the feelings of spirit plants and spirit beasts, he could only barely sense them through the panel and his divine sense. Now, this feeling has been amplified.

It's as if it has truly become a part of nature.

He silently controlled the vines to turn over, then lay quietly in place, sensing the changes in the spiritual energy around him.

A gentle breeze carries a cool breeze, the water ripples softly, the mist swirls ethereally, and sunlight and moonlight shine through... and every now and then, deer, rabbits, and beavers come to nibble on the surrounding spiritual plants.

Time passed slowly.

He was so immersed in this wonderful experience of being one with nature that he didn't even notice the tender buds growing on his own body.

—That's Jianmu.

Originally, Li Ye could only extend the branches of the Jianmu tree that had been transformed into spiritual energy, but now the Jianmu tree is in contact with the outside world in its true form.

On his fleshy wrist, the sun and moon rings shimmered continuously.

A slender, light-emitting leaf suddenly appeared.

It produced a sound on its own without Li Ye needing to control the blowing.

This sound is not something an ordinary cultivator can produce; it can cause changes in the wind, churn the earth, help spiritual plants grow, and soothe spiritual beasts.

Like spirits and deities in the mountains and forests.

The Star-Tracing True Person, who was in the Central Region discussing the Dao with a Nascent Soul cultivator, seemed to sense something and turned to look in the direction of the Four Seasons Sect.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Mountain ghost.

He hadn't expected that by simply imparting the key to the Mountain Spirit in the Nine Songs, Li Ye would be able to learn this power and even develop different supernatural abilities.

Just as he decided to set off back to his sect, an even larger, brighter moonlight, as bright as day, blocked out all his senses.

This unexpected turn of events caught him completely off guard.

Lord Wangshu?

Why would she suddenly possess so much divine power, and why does she seem... a little hungry?
Master Su Xing was startled.
