Chapter 143 Ruoquan Island, Beaver Inn
Given that there may be unexpected events here.

So Li Ye and Senior Sister Gu escorted the red-robed cultivator directly to a secret room in the Four Seasons Pavilion.

This guy has the flesh and blood of a demon beast at the Golden Core level inside his body, and he's still exploiting the cultivators in the market, which has clearly affected the stability of the Eastern Pole Market.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators would have to obediently accept the Four Seasons Sect's investigation in this situation; anyone who dared to provoke them in this regard would not have a good end.

Of course, this matter was not kept from the Blood Spirit Sect.

When the Blood Spirit Sect's garrison commander in the Eastern City heard that someone from his sect had been taken away by the Four Seasons Sect, his forehead throbbed as if it were about to explode.

When he rushed over in a hurry, he was immediately summoned for tea by the Golden Core cultivator of the Four Seasons Sect.

This Golden Core cultivator was a female cultivator. She had some fish-scale patterns on her forehead and wrists. She spoke very gently, but her methods were extremely ruthless.

"Since the younger generation wants to resolve this themselves, why should we old folks interfere? Fellow Daoist, just stay here and wait for the outcome."

She even poured some of the Jinghua honey that her nephew Yang Ke had sent, making her attitude very clear.

The Golden Core cultivator from the Blood Spirit Sect could only sit there with a wry smile.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Li Ye stared at the red-robed cultivator and said:

"The flesh and blood of the Blood Spirit Whale."

"Fellow Daoist, you swallowed the flesh and blood of the demon beast that had reached the Golden Core stage and then fed it with its blood. What exactly is your intention?"

Li Ye didn't hide anything either.

His current identity is that of a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Four Seasons Sect. It's understandable that he knows some strange things, as his status allows him to do as he pleases.

"!!!"

The red-robed monk's pupils dilated sharply.

He discovered the Blood Spirit Whale from ancient texts and finally found a clue in a trench in the Eastern Yang Sea after much effort.

Unexpectedly, the cultivators of the Four Seasons Sect knew about this.

No wonder this fellow Daoist, who is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, can suppress his flesh and blood so easily; perhaps he has been eyeing him for a long time.

He knew it would be very difficult to do anything on the territory of the Four Seasons Sect, and his previous luck turned into helpless regret at this moment.

If you don't tell the truth, you'll probably be planted in a tree.

So after a deep sigh, he confessed honestly:

"I read in an ancient book that there is a monster called the Blood Spirit Whale in the Eastern Yang Sea. It can devour the blood of golden sand and condense it into golden sand..."

Through his description, Li Ye finally learned some of the details.

It turns out this guy somehow found an ancient book that said the Jinsha clan used to cultivate special Jinsha spiritual fields.

This spiritual field is formed from the essence of sunlight. Planting any spiritual plant in it will have an amplifying effect, and it can also absorb the yang energy of the sunlight.

The Blood Spirit Whale can devour the blood of the descendants of the Golden Sand Clan and extract the Golden Sand from the blood.

He had once offended a high-ranking Golden Core cultivator from the Four Seasons Sect, so he wanted to offer the Golden Sand Spirit Field as a gift to see if he could resolve this feud.

Of course, it's perfectly normal to use the Blood Spirit Whale to increase one's own magical power for personal gain.

As he revealed the whole story, Senior Sister Gu's expression became increasingly strange.

Finally, Senior Sister Gu cupped her hands towards a spot in the void and asked, "Uncle-Master, how should this matter be handled?"

A wisp of aura belonging to the Golden Core flowed out.

Immediately afterwards, a gentle, soothing female voice rang out: "The criminals you captured, you should rightfully reap the rewards."

Just do it. The Eastern Yang Sea is our Four Seasons Sect's territory.

After he finished speaking, his aura disappeared.

Li Ye looked up and glanced in that direction.

The aura of this golden elixir feels somewhat familiar; it seems to carry a hint of warm, moist air from the ocean, somewhat like a carved relief.

Although the magic of the merfolk all carries some spiritual energy from the ocean, the ocean energy of Yang Ke's lineage is warm, not cold.

High recognition.

Could this Golden Elixir cultivator also be related to Yang Ke?
While he was pondering, Senior Sister Gu had already inscribed all the information she had gathered into a jade slip and handed it to Li Ye:

"Junior brother."

“You’re already a spirit plant master, so you probably wouldn’t mind raising another demon beast, right? I won’t get involved in this; treasure hunting is just too tiring.”

“I will escort him to Liuyue Prison. If we can get more information out of him, it will be a credit to both of us.”

After giving the jade slip to Li Ye, she got up and left, taking the red-robed cultivator with her as well.

That guy violated the rules of the Four Seasons Sect. Although his crime didn't warrant death, he couldn't escape punishment. She didn't care about the treasure, but she did care a lot about the credit.

Li Ye certainly didn't mind giving Senior Sister Gu some credit.

When they arrived, we were very hospitable and busy taking care of them. Even though we were fellow disciples, we still had to maintain the relationship.

So, are we still going on the treasure hunt?

To be honest, he hadn't really searched for treasure outside for so long, and he was quite curious about what kind of treasures were hidden in the place where the Blood Spirit Whale was.
However, he still needs a guide to help him.

……

"You're finally here!"

"Fellow Daoist Li!"

Yang Ke warmly welcomed Li Ye and led him to a quiet room in the shop.

The quiet room was already prepared with the special delicacies of the Eastern Sea of ​​Yang – a whole table full of various seafood and marine plants.

Crabs the size of millstones, shrimp with dragon horns, bunches of sea grapes as clear as glass, seaweed...

These spiritual materials are clearly of excellent quality, probably close to the fourth rank. Just by walking into this room, you can feel the spiritual energy on the table overflowing.

"Brother Yang, you've really suffered a huge loss this time."

"So many wonderful things... I wonder if Brother Yang would mind if I brought my spirit beast to sample them?"

Li Ye changed her name.

Yang Ke's smile deepened when he heard "Brother Yang," and he waved his hand, saying, "It is my good fortune to be able to see the spirit beast that Brother Li has carefully nurtured. What's wrong with that?"
I don't have much else here, but I have plenty of these spiritual materials from the sea. Feel free to eat as much as you like.

If you're not satisfied with the food later, you and I can go fishing in the sea ourselves. My sister's fishing grounds have a loophole, and only I know where it is.

"Oh?" Li Ye released the beavers that were trapped in the Jianmu World and asked curiously, "I actually met a Golden Core Martial Uncle just now. If I'm not mistaken, she should be Brother Yang's sister."

"...That's actually my aunt, but she'll be happier if I call her 'sister'."

"Oh."

Yang Ke curiously observed the beavers.

The beavers hadn't dared to gnaw on anything indiscriminately in the Jianmu World; they were already starving. When they saw the table full of delicious food, they couldn't resist.

Immediately, they worked together to pull off the crab leg, which was as big as a millstone, and then slowly, one by one, sat on their lotus thrones and began to eat heartily.

"Ccrunch."

They ate with great joy, clinging to the huge crab legs with their claws, and even chewing up the crab shells. They were simply immersed in enjoying their food, which amazed Yang Ke.

"Brother Li's beavers are quite peculiar."

"I remember that the Weichuan beaver doesn't eat meat, right?"

"Won't there be a problem with them eating like this?"

Li Ye looked at the little guys with affection, then casually summoned a stream of purple spring rain water to surround them, allowing them to drink as they pleased.

Then he answered:

"They are quite different from ordinary beavers now."

"Speaking of which, there's another matter I'd like to ask for your help with this time, Brother Yang."

Yang Ke's expression brightened: "Brother Li, please speak frankly. I grew up in this sea area and am quite familiar with the situation here."

Li Ye nodded and told Yang Ke about the place the red-robed cultivator had mentioned.

The latter's expression turned slightly strange after hearing this, and he couldn't help but glance at the beavers who were feasting.

“That place… actually has some connection with the Weichuan Beaver.”

"Back then, a Golden Core cultivator occupied that island. After he passed away, it was originally intended to be taken back."

However, one of his beaver spirit pets unexpectedly advanced to the Golden Core level.

So they continued to occupy that island.

Now it is one of the few inns between the inner and outer seas, and thousands of cultivators come and go every day.

Brother Li... is it really possible that your treasure is there?" Li Ye was slightly surprised after hearing this. He hadn't really asked much about this at the time, and he didn't expect this place to be so special.

A Wei Chuan beaver at the Golden Core level?
For some reason, he suddenly felt a flutter in his heart.

The sensation came extremely suddenly, even the Jianmu tree in the dantian trembled slightly, and a five-colored radiance seemed to flow across the emerald green branches and leaves.

For cultivators, such a premonition, even if it comes suddenly, should never be ignored, let alone for a cultivator like Li Ye with such excellent luck.

He realized that there might be some very special opportunity over there.

It seems I really should go and take a look.

……

In the end, the entire table of seafood was eaten clean.

The beavers even took out their storage rings to pack up the crabs, and one even got into a fight with its prayer beads over who took an extra crab.

Li Ye could only feel a little embarrassed, but mostly he smiled indulgently.

These little guys are probably going to take them back to their little brothers; sharing has become a habit for beavers.

Besides, he couldn't bear to scold these little guys; he only hoped they could continue to live carefree under his protection.

Fortunately, Yang Ke saw how much Li Ye doted on the beavers and understood their importance to him, so he ordered five more tables of seafood to be delivered, allowing the beavers to take them all away.

This finally made the beavers, who had been fighting fiercely, stop. After they packed everything up, they first bowed to the kind-hearted person, Yang Ke, with their paws.

Then she grabbed Li Ye's leg, wanting to go back to Jianmu Village.

"You guys are so carefree, eating your fill and then sleeping."

Li Ye said that's what she said, but she still let them go back.

After everything was settled, Li Ye and Yang Ke walked out while thanking each other: "Brother Yang really went to a lot of trouble this time. I don't have any valuable treasures here."

However, I've heard that the Merfolk have always worshipped the moon for their birth; you should see if this spark of fire is of any use.

He handed a seed of Moonfire to Yang Ke.

This was no different from giving him a spirit stone, since his Moonlight Spirit Land could basically produce one every now and then.

But Yang Ke was greatly alarmed.

"This……"

“This is so precious.”

Yang Ke looked at the Moon Spirit Fire Seed with undisguised eagerness and trepidation.

"Brother Yang."

Li Ye said seriously, "Just treat it as a gift, nothing more."

"If you don't want it, I'll throw it into the sea."

As he spoke, Li Yezhen was eager to try throwing it into the distant seawater.

"No, no!"

Yang Ke quickly stopped him and carefully took the spark.

The flame trembled slightly, like a heartbeat.

The cool spiritual energy seeped into his meridians through his skin, and the yin and yang energy of moonlight and flames made him feel very comfortable.

"call."

He let out a long breath, carefully put the tinder into the box, and bowed solemnly to Li Ye: "This tinder will be of great use to me."

It could even influence my future career path.

I am truly grateful this time; please don't hesitate to ask if you ever need my help in the future.

Li Ye said calmly, "It's good that it's useful, but judging from Brother Yang's expression... is this thing really that important?"

This wasn't anything rare for him, but if it was important to the Merfolk, then it would be a good commodity.

"I won't hide it from you, Brother Li."

Yang Ke looked at the sea rushing past on both sides of the small boat and said, "Our clan has some special spiritual power in its body, which causes some conflict with our clan's ancestral blood."

It is difficult to balance sunlight and moonlight, and it is also difficult to balance the forces of yin and yang.

The Moonlit Spirit Fire is a kind of fire that balances Yin and Yang, and it will be very helpful to my future.

"If Brother Li still has these embers, I am willing to trade some precious items for them."

Upon hearing this, Li Ye did not immediately agree, but instead gazed at a blue island that was drawing ever closer in the distance:
"I will discuss this in detail with Brother Yang after the matter on Ruoquan Island is resolved."

"it is good!"

Yang Ke lightly tapped the small boat beneath him, and its speed increased rapidly.

"Whoosh-"

It left a long white ripple on the sea and entered the dock of Ruoquan Island.

A beaver wearing a gray-brown robe was standing on the dock.

It looked very serious, with no smile on its face.

Even upon seeing the jade pendant belonging to an inner disciple of the Four Seasons Sect hanging on Li Ye's Daoist robe, it only paused slightly before extending its paw to inquire:

Are you two here for a meal or to stay overnight?

"Stay at the hotel."

Li Ye squinted and examined it for a moment, his gaze so sharp it seemed to pierce through it.

"I've heard there's a place called Ruoxian Pavilion on Ruoquan Island. I'd like to stay there."

"Ok."

"The distinguished guest is an inner disciple of the Four Seasons Sect and has the authority to enter."

The beaver quickly pulled out a ledger and scribbled a few lines on it.

"The two guest rooms in Ruoxian Pavilion cost one thousand spirit stones per person per day."

“Honorable guests, please pay me the spirit stones first, and I will escort you two there immediately.”

It looks like this guy won't take them if they don't pay for the room.

"for you!"

Before Yang Ke could even take out his money, Li Ye gave him 20,000 spirit stones with a flourish, though a slight pang of pain lingered in his heart.

Two thousand spirit stones a day!
If it weren't for the search for the Blood Spirit Whale and the hidden treasure, he would definitely have thought he was being ripped off.

"Each of you will stay for ten days."

After the beaver put the spirit stones away, it gently stepped on the ground.

The azure ground suddenly began to surge, churning up spiritual water filled with starlight, enveloping Li Ye and Yang Ke within it.

The two felt ripples spreading through the air around them, and the light and shadow in their vision distorted as if the starlight had been disturbed.

next second.

They arrived at an island isolated from the outside world—

The sand beneath my feet was as fine as silver frost, each grain coated with the cool color of moonlight and the jade-like luster of spiritual energy.

In the distance, the indigo sea meets the sky, with countless clear blue specks of light floating on the crests of the waves—like leaping starlight, both lively and mysterious.

"This……"

Li Ye frowned slightly.

What's most surprising is the spiritual energy emanating from the surroundings.

Each wisp of spiritual energy was milky white, and it surged towards the two of them as if it were alive, allowing them to absorb it without meditating or circulating their energy.

Fifth-order spiritual vein!

Under normal circumstances, this is a spiritual vein that only Nascent Soul cultivators are qualified to enjoy.

It even affected the surrounding environment, giving the sand and surrounding rocks a jade-like luster.

I reckon this thing could be sold directly as a spiritual material; spiritual items nurtured by spiritual energy would probably sell quite well.

This view finally made Li Ye understand why it was so expensive.

There's definitely a reason why it's expensive.

He even felt it was a bit too cheap.
