Chapter 189 The Grand Scene of the Beaver, the Secret of the Lotus Lantern
This binding requirement is outrageous.

Even more outrageous is the amount of Vitality Essence bound to it—

[1 Vitality Essence are required for binding.]

a little!
"I've seen plenty of rare things, but this is quite rare."

Li Ye made a comment, then spent some Vitality Essence to bind the device.

After the binding was completed, the beaver took the lamp, shook it in its paw, and the lamp turned into a beam of light that flowed into its body.

"grumble?"

The beaver, as if it had found an interesting toy, shook its paw again, and the lamp returned to its paw, then it shook it again and went back...

It was having a great time picking up and putting away the lamp, and the lamp's mood actually turned into "pleasure," making Li Ye's lips twitch incessantly.

Previously, the demonic ginseng was licking lotus flowers, but now it's the precious lotus lantern licking a beaver...

"All right."

Feeling genuinely jealous, Li Ye gently pressed down on the beaver's head and looked at the lotus flower atop the Earth Demon Ginseng's head.

The lotus flower had lost its original magical light, and with the lotus lantern removed, it appeared somewhat listless.

"Oh, thank you for your hard work."

Li Ye stretched out his finger, and the golden elixir held aloft by the Jianmu tree spun around, injecting a vibrant power, like the mist surrounding the mountain forest, into the lotus.

This is a Golden Core cultivator, and the life force emanating from the Golden Core nurtured by the life force of the Jianmu tree. If this power were sealed and sold, its price would definitely not be less than hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.

But Li Ye was not stingy at all, and could even be said to be overly generous. The life force surrounded the lotus, not only nourishing it, but also giving some to the Earth Demon Ginseng.

The lotus, which had been drooping, quickly perked up and bloomed in a splendid way, as if to show its best side to its owner.

"This is the reward you deserve."

Li Ye's fair, slender fingers, with distinct knuckles, gently brushed across the lotus petals as she spoke softly:

"From now on, just let it grow freely like this. You have already helped me a lot, and this will be your fertile ground forever."

You are so beautiful in full bloom; I always forgot to appreciate it before. Now that I think about it, I really can't let you stay here to refine pills forever.

Everything is animistic.

He is never stingy with the spirit beasts and plants that have helped or contributed to him.

Whether the lotus understood his meaning or not, the flower swayed gently, and then suddenly closed up, embracing Li Ye's fingers.

The soft petals clung to his fingers, trembling gently with affection and tenderness.

"Ah."

"You kid."

Li Ye was completely unprepared for this to happen. His smile deepened as he comforted it for a while before turning his gaze to the Earth Demon Ginseng below.

At this moment, the withered face of the Earth Demon Ginseng had become much rounder and more amiable. It suppressed the envy in its eyes and took the initiative to speak:
"I learned this lotus lantern technique from the Earth Wish Fox."

"But I have no idea exactly how it was learned."

"If you don't believe me, you can search my memories."

Li Ye looked at it and said gently, "Of course I trust you. You've been helping the lotus supply life force and spiritual energy these past few days, and it must have been tiring for you."

Get a good night's sleep.

The earth will gently embrace you while you sleep.

Thanks for your hard work. "

As Li Ye's voice rang out, the jade-like ground slowly swallowed the Earth Demon Ginseng.

It felt no danger, only the gentle spiritual energy flowing in from all directions and the darkness.

Just like when it was under the protection of the earth, it felt both dark and warm, familiar yet strange.

"Thank you, Master!"

So it only had time to sincerely thank Li Ye before falling into a deep sleep.

Even the lotus flower atop its head slowly closed, drooping its petals as it fell asleep.

This was a rare moment of rest after refining pills day and night, and they cherished it all.

"Let's go."

Seeing them fast asleep, Li Ye glanced at the other Earth Demon Ginseng and lotus flowers, lost in thought.

It seems I'll have to try turning other lotus lanterns into precious lotus lamps later.

After taking one look, he left with the beavers and the turtle spirit gourds.

When we returned to Weichuan.

Without Li Ye giving any instructions, the beaver sat directly on the lotus platform, raised the precious lotus lamp, and chirped once.

The lotus lamp immediately emitted rings of light.

The once calm and gentle flow of grease was instantly affected by the power of the lamp and began to burn fiercely.

The flames soared so high they seemed to reach the sky.

And it's not just the burning flames.

The instant the beaver raised the Lotus Lantern, its ethereal light enveloped the entire 500-mile stretch of river.

Five hundred li!

The light from this lamp could illuminate a distance of five hundred miles.

The beaver holding the lotus lantern seemed to be draped in a dazzling and bright light, and its originally fat belly was consciously tucked in.

There were beavers circling around it.

Everyone, including the Nascent Soul cultivators and deities who were watching this place, silently gazed at the dazzling beaver.

The burning of the petroleum oil produced no smoke or fumes, only a rich and deep fragrance, which seemed to carry a shimmering golden glow.

Along with the mist rising from the Weichuan River, gratitude was conveyed to all the beavers who participated in the construction of the dam and their owners.

The waves of mist and fragrance soothed almost all the physical wounds, as well as the hidden injuries and fatigue in the soul.

"That feels so good."

"It felt like my entire body and soul had been cleansed."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Li! Thank you, Senior Brother Beaver!"

The cultivators all expressed their gratitude, for this was indeed an opportunity for them.

Li Ye simply smiled and waved his hand.

They deserved what they had done, and besides, he had long known that he couldn't take all the opportunities; it was good to make some good connections.

Moreover... as the owner of the beaver, he actually received some different "rewards"—that is, his soul's transformation into a primordial spirit became faster and easier.

He still couldn't understand why the river of petrified oil, formed from the resentment of Wei Chuan, could help the lotus lantern evolve into a magical and spiritually powerful treasure. Just then, a gentle voice, carrying a cool, refreshing mist, entered Li Ye's mind.

It is... the deity of Weichuan.

"Don't be confused."

"Because this place was originally where the Lotus Lantern was cultivated."

"At the end of Weichuan, in the cave of my former master, your grandmaster, there are still fragments of the replica of the Lotus Lantern."

"Perhaps it was these powers and my spirituality that gave birth to the Lotus Lantern."

Master?

He is not the founder.

Could it be that the construction of Weichuan was done by his lineage's ancestor?

His mind raced, and he naturally raised a question:

"But I still wonder why resentment is represented by the Lotus Lantern..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard Wei Chuan chuckle: "How do you know what kind of power the Lotus Lantern needs as its lamp oil?"

“…I know,” Li Ye retorted confidently. “Do you think I don’t know?”

Anyway, he just knew it. Would the elders really pry into it?

His response was a small ball of water.

A soft pat landed on his cheek, a gesture imbued with a touch of doting and tender maternal love.
"Alright, alright, since you know, then I can say more."

"Your grandmaster once tried to repair the Lotus Lantern."

But no matter how hard she tried, even venturing deep into the celestial veins of the Southern Region to nourish it with the power of this world, she was still powerless.

"In the end, even she had to give up. She left the Lotus Lantern at the source of the Wei River, letting its power nourish the river."

"And resentment is born from the cycle of life and death in the river, and even I cannot guarantee the absolute purity of Weichuan."

I've been suppressing this resentment by channeling the power of the Lotus Lantern, until your arrival, the beaver, unexpectedly triggered it, so I simply let the resentment erupt."

"And the Earth Wish Fox... alas, their bodies actually contain the power of the wick of that Lotus Lantern from back then. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to act so arrogantly underground."

After the explanation from the deity of Weichuan, Li Ye finally understood.

It turned out to be the case.

This makes sense – the ancestors of those Earth Wish Foxes ate the wick of the Lotus Lantern!

No wonder there is such a method as "lotus elixir".

and many more.

He suddenly had a bold idea:

"I have a method for refining pills using lotus flowers. I suspect that those Earth Wish Foxes might be able to use this method to refine the power of the lamp wick within them?"

"Could we give it a try?"

Wei Chuan's consciousness remained silent for a brief moment.

What you said is not impossible.

"The Earth Wish Fox that caused trouble in Tianhe City has been captured and is being interrogated by your master. When your master returns, you might as well discuss with him whether you can obtain the power of the lamp wick from the fox's body."

"Anyway, that guy is going to be planted inside the Demon-Suppressing Tree."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "There are still many, many resentful spirits buried beneath the Weichuan River. You beavers, stay here and help me."

I won't let them work for nothing.

Once they have helped me purify the small tributaries for thousands of miles, I will help them re-polish the Lotus Lantern and also give you a fifth-tier water vein source.

The source of that fifth-order water vein is enough to fill a grotto-heaven.

As the first stream of water in your little world, it should be just right.

"Ah?" Li Ye said nonchalantly, "There's no need for payment. They were born in Weichuan, and you are my elder. It's only right that they help you with some things."

The water veins are no longer needed.

These words startled Wei Chuan, and her voice was filled with genuine doubt and confusion.

"Are you sure you don't want it?"

"That's a fifth-order water vein, a treasure that only Nascent Soul cultivators can access."

Li Ye had already gotten up and walked forward, grabbing the beaver that was rushing towards him and saying, "No, no, please don't tempt me!"

"If I must express gratitude, I should thank my master!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the beaver with concern.

The beaver, already exhausted, lay limply in his arms, panting heavily, clearly worn out.

The Lotus Lantern was not the truly powerful and incomparable genuine product. Even though it burned petroleum oil, it still required the beaver's divine sense to control it.

The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator was able to control that thing to purify a river for 500 miles, which truly caused the beaver to burn out completely.

Its paw gripped Li Ye's clothes tightly. This guy knew he had done a good job, so of course he could be a little willful.

Li Ye did feel sorry for it, so he let it do as it pleased, which also helped to dispel the complicated feelings he had after losing the fifth-order water vein.

He was indeed very envious of the fifth-tier water vein, but this was just something he did on a whim, and he didn't know how long it would take to open the seed.

The water veins were not important to him, especially since he had also obtained the magical Lotus Lamp.

The compensation was enough for him.

He really wanted to repay the sect for its cultivation, after all, this method was originally created by his senior brother and master out of a good intention.

Now that good deeds have yielded good results, he is overjoyed. He doesn't care about material possessions anymore!

Wei Chuan's consciousness gently patted his head one last time.

"OK then."

"If anyone asks you in the future, just blame it all on me."

“My dear child, once this matter is settled and the waters become calm, come and soak in the water.”

"You don't want my things, but they can bring you a refreshing coolness. May your future journey be smooth sailing."

Then, Wei Chuan's consciousness quietly withdrew.

Because the Golden Core cultivators had already come down from Mustard Seed Mountain and were now approaching this side.

They didn't know what was going on, but they knew that Li Ye had truly purified the resentment flowing from Wei Chuan.

How many more surprises does this child hold that they don't know about?
