Chapter 147 Blood Gushes Like Golden Sands

Li Ye was actually a little confused as well.

He just felt that this repetitive action was a bit too monotonous, so he wondered if something could come up to help him.

And they actually managed to sculpt one of these things.

And is it possible that I'm having a grudge against gourds and tortoises? Why do these things keep appearing?

If there are more of these in the future, we could probably open a whole gourd-themed counter.

At this moment, he felt a little disgusted with this newborn spirit of the earth.

This led to the guy feeling Li Ye's "disdain".

She raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears.

Large tears welled up in her eyes and melted into the seawater.

A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the eldest brother, who quietly retreated and hid behind the beaver Xiaobai.

noob:"……"

The tears born of that sorrowful emotion transformed the surrounding seawater into glistening, round grains of soil, which clung to the plum leaves, and it seemed as if weeping could still be heard emanating from them—

"Woooooooo..."

Li Ye suddenly felt a tightness in his heart.

The sound penetrated his mental defenses and acted upon his heart, triggering a sense of grief that gripped his heart.

Furthermore, he could sense that this was still an unconscious feeling of sadness, not an active attack by the spirit of the earth.

If it were a deliberate attack, it would likely be even more terrifying.

"Don't cry, don't cry..."

Li Ye didn't expect that just a slight hint of disdain would make this guy cry so badly, so he quickly comforted him.

Fortunately, he was always good at comforting spirit beasts and plants, and with the soothing effect of spiritual energy, the spirit of the earth quickly stopped releasing its sad emotions.

They began to gather the surrounding energy, kneading clods of soil to prove their abilities.

Its speed is much faster than Li Ye's own kneading; it can even knead a small mountain in just a short while.

Li Ye was dumbfounded.

However, because of his connection with this spirit of the earth, he quickly mastered the technique.

Then, a small mountain was created on the side.

He boasted to his senior brother, "How about it? Junior brother's comprehension is pretty good, isn't it!"

The eldest brother nodded:

"Your spirit pet is quite interesting, and your comprehension is also quite good."

"It's a pity that it can only stay in this world made of mental energy."

"Otherwise, he would be a good helper."

The eldest brother glanced at the Spirit of the Heart Soil and instructed, "When you leave here later, remember to take this guy with you and cultivate a field of Heart Soil according to the method I taught you."

This field can hold your wildest dreams, just as it did for me when I built this place from a deserted island.

Li Ye was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

"You know?"

He had thought he would have to hide for a while longer, learn magic, and was even prepared to stay there for a long time, but he never expected...

The "eldest brother" actually discovered it himself.

He's still my senior brother after all; even if he's an illusion, he's definitely not a fool.

The eldest brother nodded, his expression calm, his tone so casual it was as if he were talking about dinner: "Yes, I understand."

"It would be embarrassing if I didn't know."

"I personally taught these skills to Xiaobai."

"I originally wanted to teach you some more things, but Xiaobai's mental power seems unwilling to materialize, so I can only leave the rest of the trouble to you."

"The power within that Blood Spirit Whale was probably activated by the Golden Sand Blood. It can convert its own blood into the corresponding blood by consuming some blood."

"If that guy really has all the Golden Sand Blood replaced, you'll probably have a hard time dealing with him, Junior Brother, but... that's your problem!"

He looked down at his palm and praised the beaver beside him, "You've learned very well."

"If you have time, you can teach this junior brother of mine."

The beaver, Xiaobai, whose body had been upright, suddenly hunched over, and its smooth, soft fur turned pale, as if it had been washed away by time.

Now that we know, there's no need to hide it.

It spoke:

"The mental strength here is what I have accumulated over thousands of years."

"As long as you, Master, wish to exist, we will continue to exist."

"Why did you have to expose this matter?"

The surrounding landscape showed signs of collapse.

This is the drawback of mental imagery: if one does not even trust the existence of mental imagery, it will immediately collapse.

—That spirit of the heart soil is, in a sense, a kind of spirituality conjured by the mind. Li Ye's aversion to it is, in its eyes, a denial of its own existence.

That's why it's so uncomfortable.

The eldest brother's voice turned serious as he stared at Beaver Little White:

Do you really want me to tell you?

"Over the course of a thousand years, you have only focused on accumulating mental strength, but you have failed to master the remaining three supernatural powers."

"I spent a year teaching you how to split sand to fill the sea and how to shape water into mountains, but what about the other three? You haven't learned them even after a thousand years!"

Faced with this almost stern reprimand, Beaver Little White became agitated and muttered to itself:
"Even if it's an illusion..."

“Even if it’s an illusion that I’m forcibly holding onto, you can see through its true nature.”

It sighed softly, accepted reality, and didn't try to hold on any longer.

He said to Li Ye, "You should leave now. I estimate that the old master will be coming in person soon. There are still cultivators trapped outside who live on Ruoquan Island."

I will offer some treasures as an apology, consider it... an accident that happened here."

As it made its sound, Li Ye could sense some gaps in the surrounding mental energy.

On one side of the gap is a view of blue sky and white clouds, while on the other side, all sorts of monsters rage.

Many cultivators are using their supernatural powers to kill demonic beasts and collect the treasures dropped by them.

Spirit stones, magical artifacts, gleaming spiritual materials, seeds...

Basically, anything involving fighting monsters has it all.

So they didn't have any confusion or doubts, and were just enjoying the process of fighting monsters and getting loot.

Li Ye could even hear them saying:

"Could this be an opportunity bestowed by Ruoquan's master?"

"I just killed a second-tier spirit beast, and it dropped a drop of Sunlight Spirit Water!"

"There are even magic treasures for the Golden Core stage here."

Those who dare to live here are generally quite capable, after all, this is a supply point between the inner sea and the outer sea.

Those who want to cultivate immortality in peace wouldn't usually travel this far to live here.

Besides, they are cultivators.

Who hasn't killed a few monsters?

For them, this was an opportunity.

This was somewhat different from the scene of bloodshed that Li Ye had imagined outside—the bloodshed was caused by demonic beasts, those demonic beasts formed from the power of their hearts.

"This is quite well done."

The eldest brother rubbed his chin, having somehow walked up to Li Ye's side, and looked outside while saying to Xiao Bai:
"Whether it's the demonic aura of a monster, the splattering of blood, or wounds caused by various spells..."

"When your master arrives later, you should honestly hand over all this experimental data. He should forgive you." His body had already begun to crumble.

A wisp of white spiritual energy drifted down like dust in the wind.

But the senior brother's expression showed a hint of relief. He turned to Li Ye and said, "Although Xiaobai is considered your elder, he is really too immature."

Just for my sake, take care of it for a while, at least so that Master won't punish it.

Please!

Li Ye looked at his senior brother's body, which was already beginning to crumble, and said, "Don't worry, Master likes me very much, and I will definitely speak up for Senior Xiaobai!"

The eldest brother waved his hand, intending to walk towards Beaver Little White.

But his physical strength had given out, and all that remained was his silhouette before he vanished completely.

Only a wisp of fine sand remained, drifting in the wind.

"Sigh, Senior Brother."

Li Ye felt somewhat sad.

Although it was just an illusion, he was truly reluctant to see his senior brother leave.

However, the current situation leaves him no time to think about it anymore.

Because after his senior brother left, he had already been sent to the outer layer by Beaver Xiaobai.

Instantly, several monstrous beasts resembling sharks with legs surrounded them.

The monsters opened their blood-red mouths and spewed out foul-smelling black water.

"Roar!!!"

It's a shark, but for some reason it makes a sound like a tiger.

"It's really noisy!"

Feeling very annoyed, Li Ye waved his sleeves.

The magic power of the Jianmu tree condensed into five elements techniques, including wind blades, water arrows, fireballs, earth cones, and metal swords, which swept away the third-tier Foundation Establishment demonic beasts in an instant.

Several spirit stones fell from mid-air.

After dealing with the demonic beasts that attacked him, Li Ye finally had the time to assess the situation.

Yang Ke was still asleep beside him, and the spirit of the earth, Ruomu, and branches of the spring blossoms and autumn peaches that his senior brother had just given him were all wrapped in the ball of light.

Despite having gained a lot and spending relatively little time with his senior brother, he still felt melancholy.

However, since his senior brother said he was still alive, they would meet again sooner or later. He did indeed have many questions that he wanted answered by others.

He wasn't really interested in the monsters outside, so he found a secluded spot, took out a magic array that could conceal his presence, and had the bamboo ants build a small hut before hiding inside.

This array was made by the senior disciples of the Array Hall. Anyone below the Nascent Soul stage would not discover its contents unless they carefully scanned it inch by inch with their divine sense.

So he was able to hide with complete peace of mind.

They also had the beavers bring out tea sets and pastries, and then slowly sat down in chairs to eat.

Looking at the cultivators hunting demonic beasts outside the bamboo house formation, it was quite interesting.

Half a day later, Yang Ke suddenly jumped up.

"This……"

His eyes were filled with doubt: "Didn't we fail to escape just now? Where are we now, Brother Li?"

Li Ye gestured to the beaver with a jade porcelain teacup.

"Jiji!"

The beaver immediately used its lotus petals to serve a cup of tea to Yang Ke.

The latter was momentarily stunned, but still accepted the tea and even thanked the beaver.

The hot honey water is used to brew the tea from the Diyuan tea tree, giving off a sweet and lingering aroma.

Yang Ke felt much better after taking a few sips.

Li Ye finally spoke:

"We are still on Ruoquan Island, but the situation outside is a bit complicated."

He omitted the details about his senior brother and the beaver, only saying that Yang Ke had fainted and that he was forced to stay there to prevent him from getting hurt.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ke was very grateful.

"Thank you very much, Brother Li!"

"Once this matter is settled, you must visit my fishing grounds!"

He had already seen the treasures dropped by the monsters outside, some of which he considered precious.

He was truly moved that Li Ye was willing to give up so many treasures outside and stay here for him.

"hehe."

"It's nothing, Brother Yang, you don't need to worry about it."

"Let's wait here for our elders."

Li Ye, however, was not thick-skinned enough. Seeing Yang Ke's gratitude, he could only smile faintly and gesture for him to sit down beside him.

The two sat here chatting and drinking tea.

Outside, cultivators were fighting and killing demonic beasts.

Time passed slowly.

A few days later, some blood that looked like gold dust suddenly appeared on the ground outside.

Although it looked golden and shiny, it had a fishy smell and seemed to gush out of the ground like a spring, with the distant call of a whale faintly audible.

"Blood Spirit Whale".

Li Ye had previously witnessed the spiritual power of the blood clot, so he immediately knew what it was.

He had initially thought it was some kind of treasure vault imprisoning a dying Blood Spirit Whale, but now it seemed that it was the vessel for the entire island.

Faced with this situation...

Even Li Ye was a bit at a loss, unsure of what to do.

However, judging from the senior brother's previous attitude, he didn't seem worried that this thing would pose any threat to him, otherwise he would have had Beaver White send him away long ago.

If he could resist, he would definitely give it his all.

But the situation was beyond his control, so he calmed down.

He even reassured Yang Ke: "Brother Yang, don't worry, it's alright."

"..."

Looking at the increasing amount of golden blood surging on the ground outside, Yang Ke felt that Brother Li's mental cultivation was indeed beyond his reach.

If it were him, he would have run away immediately.

Seeing Li Ye's composure, he also calmed down and bowed with some shame: "Brother Li truly has the demeanor of a great master!"

Li Ye gave him a strange look, not quite understanding why he said such a thing, but after a moment's thought, she guessed it.

He opened his mouth to say something polite, but suddenly heard a voice in his ear:
"Disciple."

The voice appeared directly in his mind, instantly exciting him!
Isn't that Master's voice?

"I am still within the sect, and I am communicating with you using a supreme treasure."

The master's voice continued: "You should have just seen your senior brother. He should have taught you two special spells."

Now it's your turn to try it out.

The foundation of this island is formed from the power of the mind.

I will impart some power to you. You should decompose all the mental energy here, and others will naturally help with the rest.

Remember, that old guy has been hoping to help us for a long time, so let's do him this favor, but we can't forget to ask for something in return!

The words fell.

A gleaming ruler pierced the void before him and landed silently in front of him, radiating a terrifying, boundless power.
