Chapter 207 Li Ye's Secret Field

"It's like a magic weapon for creating ashes of calamity."

Third Senior Brother Chen Mo, who was also quite skilled in weapon crafting, carefully examined the bronze cauldron and said thoughtfully:

"It seems that the Hell Path acts so recklessly in order to create calamities and collect the ashes of those calamities."

"No wonder they have such a strong foundation. They would probably not refuse to trade with the ashes of the calamity, let alone those small sects."

The doubts I had before were suddenly cleared up.

No wonder those guys were able to stay in the dark rat hole for so long; it turns out they had the ashes of the calamity as their profit. But why are the magical treasures still preserved here?
He glanced at Li Ye and asked directly, "Junior brother, what do you plan to do with this? Since it was discovered by your spirit beast, you should make the decision."

"I'll keep this."

"Senior brother, please pretend you've never seen this before."

He was well aware of the value of this magical artifact.

Even if it can't be used in this world now, it can still be used in smaller worlds in the future, so it's definitely a trump card.

"Ah."

The third senior brother thought the same way; if this item were really taken back to the sect, it would definitely cause some unnecessary trouble.

He didn't even want to study it further. This kind of magical artifact that could turn the world into ashes was too special. He was really afraid that he would lose control and do something.

It's also strange to say.

He felt he might lose control, but he trusted Li Ye to handle the situation well.

Thinking this way, he felt more at ease and left directly.

Only Li Ye and the Golden-haired Rat remained in the cave.

As Li Ye used the Four Seasons Sect's secret sealing method to wrap the bronze cauldron layer by layer like silkworm silk, and then infused it with numerous talismans, he asked the Brocade-haired Rat:
"Your skills are quite good."

"What else can you do?"

The golden-haired mouse blinked its tiny eyes, then chirped a few times—meaning that it could find hidden spaces, build nests and dig burrows within them, creating a passageway.

It's only been around for a short time now, and it will become even stronger in the future.

"Not bad." Because of the Jianmu tree, Li Ye was somewhat sensitive to spatial fluctuations. With this guy's help, he probably wouldn't be trapped anywhere he went to explore in the future.

For example, the situation where they were trapped in the Hell Path stronghold should not happen again.

He quickly sealed the bronze cauldron completely and placed it in the world outside the Golden Core realm, using even more power to set up layers of seals to prevent anything from suddenly happening to it.

After dealing with it, Li Ye looked at the ashes of the calamity and scanned them with his divine sense; there should be more than a thousand catties of them.

It should be known that one or two calamity ashes are roughly equivalent to the spiritual power of ten thousand spirit stones.

One jin and sixteen liang.

There are over a thousand kilograms here...

The number was so surprising that even a slight calculation made Li Ye a little alarmed.

Logically speaking, since they were the ones who discovered it, even if they each shared a portion, no one would say anything, since the Four Seasons Sect wouldn't insist on handing everything over.

When the opportunity is meant for you, it will surely come.

But Li Ye had an idea—to use these ashes to cultivate a special spiritual plant, so that the ashes could be recycled.

After all, compared to the one-time income from spirit stones, if they can build up the market well and achieve a higher rating, they will receive more benefits.

The others also knew this, which is why they left the decision of whether or not the Ashes of Calamity should be made by Li Ye.

Since they trust me so much.

Indeed, he hasn't cultivated any new spiritual plants or beasts for quite some time.

How about we go for a big one?
Ashes and calamity overcome tribulation...

Li Ye narrowed his eyes and looked at the glass bracelet on his wrist.

The white-haired rat beside him sensed his imposing presence and shrank back in fear.

……

Time passes slowly.

Two years later.

The infrastructure of Dongcangfang Market has been built.

The array, which uses the earth spirit soil as its foundation, various buildings, and the adjustment of the celestial phenomena within the market have all been completed.

There's something rather strange, though; there seem to be more heavenly tribulations these days.

While adjusting celestial phenomena might result in more lightning tribulations, this seems excessive.

Li Ye was very busy during this period.

He traveled back and forth between various places because he was responsible for adjusting the celestial phenomena, planting spiritual plants, cultivating jade melons, establishing the living environment for sweet potato dragons, and connecting the formations with the spiritual plants.

They were as busy as spinning tops.

However, such practice was truly rare for him, not to mention that he had many reliable fellow Daoists and senior brothers with him, and his proficiency in formations and various spells was improving by leaps and bounds.

And after the busy period.

Every day without fail, he would return to a plot of land of about fifty acres that he had specially designated, and mysteriously do something there.

Everyone was curious.

Especially during occasional gatherings and chats, Li Ye would never reveal anything, only saying that he was cultivating a very special spiritual plant, something extremely special.

I always keep them in suspense, which piques their curiosity.

A spiritual plant that even Li Ye would say such a thing.

Just how special is it?
What exactly is in that field?
"Yes."

What exactly is it?

Li Ye looked at the mature spiritual plants with anticipation and muttered to himself, "It seems it's time for my senior brother and a few fellow Daoists to experience it for themselves."

He patted the golden-haired rat, which had already dug a hole just big enough for Li Ye to hide in. With the deliberate concealment of the array, he would definitely not be discovered.

Then he hurriedly went to find his third senior brother Chen Mo and said anxiously, "Senior brother, I need to go back to the sect. If you and other fellow Daoists have time, please help me take care of the things I planted."

However, it's a bit dangerous inside, so please be careful, senior brother.

This is the token to enter the formation!

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Chen Mo looked at Li Ye leaving with a strange expression, feeling that this guy seemed a little off.

But Feng Yue and Ying Ying, who had long been curious about what Li Ye had planted, urged, "Didn't Fellow Daoist Li say that we should take care of it? Let's go and see."

This has been a mystery for two whole years, and they are really curious about what it is.

A short while later, the other three arrived as well.

They were still a little reserved, but their curious eyes were practically spitting fire, clearly urging Chen Mo on.

"..."

Chen Mo still felt something was off.

However, he was indeed curious, so he could only say, "Junior brother asked us to look after them, but you should be careful when you go in and make sure you don't affect the growth of those spiritual plants."

"it is good!"

"Come on!"

"Let's see what this new and interesting thing is."

The crowd immediately surrounded Chen Mo and brought him to the front of the formation. As the formation's jade talisman opened a gap, the situation inside was naturally revealed to them—it was a gray field that looked like a burnt-out field covered in ashes.

"Ashes of calamity?"

"They really can use the ashes of war to farm!"

"Wait, what's growing in there?"

Feng Yue noticed lotus flowers growing in the gray earth, which looked like glass. The lotus flowers had five colors, and each petal seemed to be nurturing a different kind of tribulation light.

Hearing her say that, everyone else was also puzzled.

—This five-colored water lily has never been revealed to anyone since it was created by Li Ye, so they naturally do not know what it is.

They are still very cautious.

Such an unknown spiritual plant should not be approached too closely.

They observed from afar using their divine sense and eyes.

But Li Ye was prepared. One of the lotus flowers suddenly bloomed slowly. As the five-colored petals opened, a dragon-tailed carp with inverted triangular scales on its forehead leaped up.

Enveloped in the rain and the unique spatial spirit of Jianmu.

He rushed straight towards Ying Ying.

Even with their speed, they couldn't dodge it.

Ying Ying was immediately surrounded by the spirit of the water, and an inescapable rain curtain appeared around her body, within which thunderous tribulation clouds were gathering!
"Huh? Tribulation?"

Ying Ying was stunned.

What gathered above her head was a tribulation cloud, which could be considered the most basic of the Five Elements Thunder Tribulation. The tribulation cloud was not large, and at most it only had one ten-thousandth of the power of a true heavenly tribulation.

But it was ultimately a tribulation of lightning.

"Roar!"

She dared not delay and immediately transformed into Yinglong's true form, soaring into the sky.

"Boom!"

Bolts of lightning fell one after another.

After the nine bolts of lightning struck, the rain and water spirits surrounding Ying Ying silently dissipated and returned to the five-colored water lily.

All of this happened very quickly, in less than ten breaths.

A bewildered Ying Ying held a handful of pure spiritual energy from her tribulation in her hand, looking at her fellow Daoists who were equally bewildered.

"This……"

"Is there a spirit inside that caused the calamity?"

"No wonder they told us to be careful..."

After a brief moment of surprise, they suddenly realized the value of these lotus flowers—they were a heavenly tribulation!

Whether used as a magical weapon for combat or for disciples to practice, the ability to control heavenly tribulations is extremely important. If this item were brought back to the sect, it would probably shock the True Immortals.

But how can such special spiritual plants be cultivated? What is the cost? And how should they take care of these spiritual plants, as Li Ye said?
Doubts had just begun to arise.

They saw the ashes at the base of the lotus roots begin to boil, and the ashes seemed to be on the verge of burning.

As the ashes of the calamity boiled and lit up, countless rays of spiritual light burst forth from the rather round, silvery-gray pearls.

That kind of spiritual light was the same one they had seen before, the radiance of the Lotus Lantern, which briefly suppressed the momentum of the ashes of the calamity trying to reignite.

But for some reason, perhaps because the light from the Lotus Lantern wasn't enough, the ashes of the calamity began to resist, and even a bright flame appeared!

Everyone's expression changed upon seeing this.

So this is what Li Ye meant by asking them to take care of! It's a resurgence!

"not good!"

"Do it quickly!"

"Just suppress the ashes of the calamity, and whatever you do, don't affect the formation!"

They quickly took action, each using their supernatural powers to suppress the ashes of the calamity, but in doing so, they accidentally touched the lotus flowers that had not yet bloomed. Their spiritual power seemed to have attracted the attention of different lotus flowers.

Then... they were each pulled into the rain-shrouded clouds by the spirit of the water.

The scene descended into chaos.

They had to carefully suppress the ashes of the calamity to prevent them from burning, and also deal with sudden heavenly tribulations from time to time...

Fortunately, there are some benefits to surviving the heavenly tribulation.

Although the quantity is small, it is still a reward for surviving the heavenly tribulation.

It was truly a bittersweet experience.

Li Ye, hiding in a rat hole, was recording something on a jade slip:

"The tribulation energy trapped by the glass bracelet is only one ten-thousandth of its original power, but there is indeed a reward after passing the tribulation."

"The Ashes of Calamity only recognize my spiritual power. It becomes unstable after being stimulated by external spiritual power. The Ashes of Calamity can nourish the Five-Colored Water Lily and enhance the water spirit and calamity energy within it."

"The pearls from sunken seashells show almost no loss in the transmission and storage of spiritual energy, and can also transfer spiritual energy between each other through arrays..."

He quickly recorded the results of the experiment.

It has to be said that this was his boldest attempt yet. When he was adjusting the celestial phenomena, he was able to trigger a heavenly tribulation through the glass bracelet and collect a wisp of tribulation energy along the way.

Then he bound the spirit of the water in his East Lake to the five-colored water lily, infused the calamity energy into the five-colored water lily, and infused the spatial power of Xiangyunqin and Jianmu into the spirit of the water.

The five-colored water lily possesses the great supernatural power of "peace and tranquility" formed by the spiritual energy of the Weichuan River, which naturally allows it to suppress the calamity.

He then used the ashes of the calamity as a field to cultivate the five-colored water lily, nourishing the calamity energy within. He then used the sunken seashell pearls filled with the light of the Lotus Lantern to form an array to suppress the calamity ashes that might become agitated due to fluctuations in spiritual energy.

In this way, the tribulation energy can be nurtured and gradually grow stronger within the five-colored water lily, and can also form a small tribulation space at any time through the spirit of the water, allowing cultivators to undergo tribulation within it.

"A true closed loop has been formed."

Li Ye put down the jade slip and rubbed his slightly stinging brow. Although it had only been a little over two years, it felt like decades of hard work to him.

"Phew, then this breeding can be considered a success."

"The cost is really high. It requires the ash from the fire to nurture the plants. More than a thousand catties of ash can only plant fifty five-colored water lilies."

This is something that cannot be optimized.

Calamity ash is essential for maintaining calamity energy and strengthening the heavenly calamity energy.

Then the price of these lotus flowers will definitely increase. It is estimated that each one will need to sell for at least 300,000 spirit stones to break even, and they will also need to absorb the calamity energy.

Even so, the main energy consumed in the ashes is calamity energy rather than spiritual energy, which means it doesn't directly consume the calamity ashes.

These ashes can be used as fields to grow lotus flowers, otherwise the price would be even higher.

I just don't know if it can really be sold at that price?

Although he was confident in his cultivation methods and his "golden touch," everything ultimately had to be tested by the market. He didn't want to end up with some rare but useless oddities.

With that in mind, he decided to use the hole dug by the golden-haired rat to return to the sect, hand over his cultivation records, and see what the sect had to say.

But as soon as he emerged from the cave, he saw many branches appear in the sky, each branch formed from different kinds of lightning, and each branch also had a lightning walnut growing on it.

That is……

The Heavenly Thunder Tree within the sect.

He is also the Heavenly Thunder God.

What is he doing here all of a sudden? Is it because of something he did?
