Chapter 193 The Competition Among the True Immortals of Various Sects

"You can actually lay eggs?"

Li Ye reached out his hand to the Golden Sand Crow, which cawed twice before reluctantly flying out, shrinking its body, and landing on Li Ye's fair fingers with one foot.

But its gaze remained fixed on the eggs it had laid, its eyes filled with love and tenderness... was it paternal or maternal instinct?

Seeing this, Li Ye reached out his other hand to stroke its head, comforting it:

"Don't worry."

"They are healthy."

Although Li Ye had never raised any bird-like spirit beasts that could lay eggs, he could tell the condition of those eggs with just a scan of his divine sense; those eggs were truly peculiar.

They don't rely on the nutrients inside the egg, but rather absorb sunlight through their rough shells, just like... the way spiritual plants grow.

They can thrive even if left lying around anywhere, provided they have enough water, spiritual energy, and sunlight.

"Cuck!"

The Golden Sand Crow had only ever seen Li Ye since it was born, and had lived in the cave for some time, so it naturally trusted Li Ye the most. When it heard that the egg was fine, it immediately spread its wings and flew away to play.

Three manta rays that had been waiting for it in the distance peeked out, and when they saw the golden crow flying over, they excitedly blew a few bubbles and then flew away together.

"...They really have a good relationship."

"Golden Sand Crow, Wenyao Fish... It's a pity that although the Golden Sand Crow is a fire-elemental spirit beast, it is not of the blood of the Mountain and Sea God."

Otherwise, you can still bind them.

But wait.

Did the third senior brother take out some kind of Bifang feather before? Bifang should be something, right?

He suddenly felt that he could spend more time with his third senior brother. He had heard from his master that a market town was going to be built in Dongcang Town, and his third senior brother would be in charge of it. He figured his Golden Core assessment would probably be held there.

Thinking this, he approached the Golden Crow's nest, reached out and grabbed an egg, whose shell was indeed very rough.

Moreover, the moment he grabbed it, the originally pale white eggshell instantly changed color, turning into a strange, colorful hue. Various colors flowed across the eggshell, adding a touch of mystery and nobility.

This phenomenon is not uncommon among high-level spirit beasts and plants; they simply have a very keen sense of external spiritual energy, which causes them to change.

But this kind of spirit beast...

Generally speaking, having such a keen perception of spiritual power indicates that one's potential is certainly not small, and it is somewhat similar to the spiritual roots of the human race.

But unfortunately, the creature hadn't hatched yet, so there was nothing he could do; he couldn't just cut it open now.

So he observed them for a while and then instructed the two people beside him: "Take good care of them. If they need anything, just tell Lingji Teng."

Tell me when it's almost time for it to hatch.

"Yes!"

The two nodded quickly.

Li Ye did not leave directly. He collected some water from Ruoquan and then instructed Lingji Teng to send it to Yang Ke in the Eastern Yanghai through the sect's channels.

Now that he has reached the Golden Core stage, he can freely use the sect's channels; these are just the most basic benefits.

He then returned to his residence and went to rest.

Spending over half a year learning all sorts of knowledge was a huge test even for a Golden Core cultivator's energy. He deliberately shut down all his senses and fell into a deep sleep.

After he fell asleep, time seemed to slow down in the cave. The playful antics of the spirit beasts decreased, and the spirit plants no longer grew so freely, for fear of causing fluctuations in the spiritual energy.

The cloud palace that Rainbow Dash transformed into wanted to stay above Li Ye to block out the sunlight, but it was driven away by the combined forces of sunlight and breeze. Everything in the entire cave was taking care of their master's wish to get a good night's sleep.

……

Li Ye, please rest well here.

But the outside world was in an uproar.

With the combined efforts of all the True Immortals and countless disciples, the materials that Li Ye had accumulated were quickly transformed into finished products. At the same time, he also used the Daoist name he obtained after reaching the Golden Core stage to promote the products.

These are the spiritual plants and beasts planted and cultivated by their newly promoted Golden Core Spirit Leaf True Person!

The Four Seasons Sect has never been stingy when it comes to showing off its disciples, especially since Li Ye has already reached the Golden Core stage and no longer needs to hide his name. As a disciple of the Four Seasons Sect, he can't keep it a secret forever.

Therefore, various derivatives of spirit beasts and plants were immediately sent throughout the entire cultivation world—

The Qi Luck Array, created using the Tortoise Spirit Gourd as its main research focus, attracted the True Man of Qiongguan Mountain.

The oil made from gourd oil, which could preserve magical artifacts, attracted the attention of True Immortals from Tianmai Sword Mountain, Duanling Sect, and Dingxuan Sect.

As for the lotus elixir, the brand-new sweet potato dragon, the materials for making raw sweet potatoes from Shuimokan, and the storage bag woven from the silk of Kongmoling ginseng...

The various spiritual materials and magical artifacts that had never appeared before attracted the attention of many sects. Although these things were not of high grade, they were considered top-tier among low-grade items.

Which of the masters of each sect doesn't have a junior or disciple with low cultivation level who needs their care?

Among those who came here specifically from Tianmai Sword Mountain, Wei Qingye's elder brother, Wei Zhenren, loudly proclaimed, "Our disciple Qingye Zhenren and your sect's Lingye Zhenren have an excellent relationship."

I also have a letter written by Qingye here; you must deliver it to Master Lingye!

"..."

"You're a real scoundrel!"

Lin Zhenren of the Forging Spirit Sect, who had previously bought Lotus Pills, showed no mercy: "Who doesn't know that Wei Qingye is your younger brother? Canyang Zhenren, your words are utterly shameless!"

Wei Canyang, also known as Wei Zhenren, made no attempt to hide his sense of superiority. He glanced at the other party indifferently and chuckled, "So what? Lingye Zhenren's golden core was formed within the Heavenly Domain of our Heavenly Vein Sword Mountain."

"Here, this is rice cooked from the rice that Lingye grew over there. I brought some with me; why don't you all try some?"

As he spoke, he actually took out a large stone pot, which was filled to the brim with rice that shimmered with a golden light, each grain distinct and looked very soft and fluffy.

The moment it was taken out, the aroma of the rice immediately filled the noses of all the True Immortals. The unique fragrance of the food and the special spiritual power of the creatures of the wasteland made the True Immortals' expressions even more unpleasant.

This guy has gone way too far!

Among them, the two True Immortals from the Bitter Journey Academy and the Poor Observation Mountain couldn't help but curl their lips and curse the cultivators surnamed Lü and Zhu in their hearts for not inviting Li Ye to travel to the Central Region earlier.

Master Lin sniffed, then held out his hand to Su Yu: "Could you please give me a bowl, Fellow Daoist Su? A large bowl, please."

Su Yu: "..."

With a strange expression, she handed Lin Zhenren a jade bowl and chopsticks, along with a spoon for serving rice. Lin Zhenren then swaggered over and filled the bowl to the brim, eating as if no one else was around.

And they kept eating bowl after bowl.

They ate with great relish.

For a moment, all that could be heard was the sound of him eating and the complicated expressions on the faces of the other people, especially Wei Canyang, who didn't know what to say.

You're shameless! You're a cultivator of a major sect, why are you eating like a starving ghost?
Since it's a physical cultivation practice, naturally one's appetite will be slightly larger.

He quickly finished the stone pot of rice, which weighed a thousand pounds.

He licked his lips with lingering satisfaction: "This tastes really good, Fellow Daoist Su. You must have sold the stone pot to Tianmai Sword Mountain, right?"
Can this special rice sell 30 million kilograms to us every year?
Let's start with 100,000 stone pots.

"Oh, these jade bowls and chopsticks are quite nice too. I'll take two hundred thousand sets."

A cunning glint flashed in his eyes. He wanted to take advantage of the silence to place an order, even if it was just a promise, so he could get the spirit rice ahead of time.

Although Su Yu already knew who Master Lin was, he was still speechless at his words. It was Master Bai Shi from the nearby weapon-refining hall who spoke up: "Stone pots and jade bowls are easy to discuss, but the rice production..."

He looked at Chen Zhenren, the third senior brother of Li Ye, who represented the Lingzhi Hall.

Master Chen immediately smiled sincerely: "Senior Lin, to be honest, this Dawn Rice cannot be planted on a large scale yet. It needs to be cultivated generation after generation to produce seeds, and then gradually handed over to the markets below."

There really isn't 30 million jin.

Master Lin understood as well, and smacked his lips: "Then we'll take as many as there are..."

Before the words were finished, the master of the Kulu Academy spoke up: "Hey, wait a minute! We not only have to recite the classics, but also study the Six Arts of a Gentleman."

"Fellow Daoist, you do have food on your side, why don't you sell it to us?"

It's called the Bitter Journey Academy.

As the only Confucian power in this world, their wealth accumulation is actually quite extravagant.

He said bluntly and confidently, "Why don't you sell them to us? How about one thousand spirit stones per pound?"

However, he forgot that there was a monk who had remained silent, surrounded by golden lotus light:

"Don't rush."

The monk's tone was filled with compassion and kindness.

As soon as they started talking, a man nearby shouted, "Monks of Kongxiang Temple, why are you asking for rice too? Are you short of rice?"

The monk's expression remained unchanged; he simply spoke slowly and deliberately:
"Kongxiang Temple is willing to use the water from the Eight Treasures Pond or the willow-leaf water from the Jade Purification Bottle to sign a contract with the Four Seasons Sect."

As long as Foshan stands, the Buddhist temples will not collapse.

This covenant will last until our deaths.

"..."

This monk actually went to such great lengths!
The water of the Eight Treasures Pond and the willow-leaf pure water of the Buddha's Jade Vase—these treasures, imbued with special Buddhist aura, were an immense temptation for the Four Seasons School, which sought to study various spiritual plants and the earth.

You should know that in this world, they are the only Buddhist sect, and only they possess such a treasure.

Legend has it that it was brought by their Buddha from the true Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss—equivalent to the true celestial realm where their ancestors resided.

It's just some Dawn Rice... Could there be something else they don't know about?
"The willow water from the Eight Treasures Pond and the Jade Purification Bottle?"

Master Chen rubbed his chin, his gaze intense, and said, "This price is quite high, but can you make the decision?"

The monk remained silent, only spreading his palms out.

Two drops of water floated quietly in his palm, one exquisite and the other pure, their golden and silver light instantly flowing throughout the hall.

"Tsk."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that you usually receive offerings from believers and philanthropists; you're quite generous right now."

The real people of the Bitter Journey Academy were very unhappy about being outmaneuvered. Anyway, they had been fighting each other for thousands of years, so they weren't afraid at all.

The monk clasped his hands together, murmured "Amitabha," and then said loudly, "With such anger, how can you, fellow practitioner, teach and nurture others?"

"If you are willing, I am willing to personally ordain you and bring you into the Buddhist order, where you will be accompanied by the ancient Buddha and the green lamp, and naturally you will no longer have any anger or resentment."

He looked at the other man with a compassionate expression, one that seemed to pity a monk who had gone astray.

"Hehe." The master of the Bitter Journey Academy remained silent. If this weren't the territory of the Four Seasons Sect, he would have dragged the other party down and given him a good beating.

The Confucian and Taoist sages once said that one should subdue people with virtue. When virtue fails to subdue people, then another kind of "virtue" should be used.

He had some knowledge of martial arts.

The other people exchanged glances, looking on with anticipation for a good show.

Seeing that the two were about to clash, Master Chen had no choice but to say, "Since everyone wants it, let's auction it off."

The yield of Xiguang Rice is indeed extremely low. We plan to later sell the purchase rights to all of its annual production through an auction. Once sold, the rights will be at your disposal.

auction?

That's not a bad idea.

The one with the highest price gets it.

So everyone agreed and began discussing the sale and supply of other treasures.

Occasionally, angry shouts and rebukes could be heard, along with the sounds of weapons clashing. The negotiations were not going very smoothly, since everyone wanted it and everyone was a major player, so who wouldn't be unable to produce spirit stones?

So, having no other choice, they had to fight to see who was stronger.

The true disciples of the Four Seasons Sect were well prepared; they were used to the idea of ​​fighting if necessary.

He calmly watched the sword energy, Buddhist light, and fist the size of a casserole dish... and finally, after some stumbling and hesitation, he managed to sign all the contracts.

After the fight, the real people acted as if nothing had happened.

They walked out chatting and laughing.

"gone!"

"Your sword is sharp, but it still can't hurt me."

"Your murderous intent is too strong; I wonder where you've learned your Confucian classics."

Master Chen was helpless; as a junior, he was the one who had to see off the other masters.

As a result, when he saw off the group of immortals, he received a large number of invitations, all of which were instructing him to pass them on to Li Ye.

He felt even more helpless, but also a little proud.

After all, Li Ye was his junior brother.

Holding a thick stack of invitations, he sighed, "So many, looks like I'll have to make a trip to deliver them to my junior brother... Hmm?"

Just as he was about to turn back, he suddenly heard that a mermaid named Yang Ke, who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, wanted to visit Li Ye.

After thinking for a moment, he took the initiative to bring Yang Ke to Li Ye's cave.

Li Ye had already woken up and was wearing an ordinary cloth robe. When he saw the two of them arrive, he stepped forward to greet them and said, "Senior Brother, Fellow Daoist Yang."

The third senior brother casually patted Li Ye on the shoulder and said not to worry about him, but Yang Ke bowed very respectfully: "Greetings, Master Ling Ye."

Li Ye's smile froze for a moment.

He could tell that this was not just teasing or politeness, but a genuine estrangement. Now, he was a Golden Core True Person of the Four Seasons Sect, and he had cultivated so many spiritual plants and beasts.

Yang Ke was just one of the sons of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Although his family was wealthy, he was still just one of the more favored sons among dozens of others.

How can the Nascent Soul of the Merfolk compare to Li Ye's master?

Li Ye knew all about these things. After a brief moment of helplessness, he smiled and said, "It's quite rare for Brother Yang to come here. I'll invite Senior Brother Su to join us later. We can drink tea and discuss the Dao here. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Yang Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The hands that had been tightly clenched finally loosened a little, but a drop of blood with a hint of gold gently fell to the ground, splashing up dust.
