Chapter 21 The Horrifying Huai Ling Scroll

He was very confused, but no monk talked about this matter afterwards. Instead, they discussed the magic spells they were practicing.

There are things like cloud and rain magic, soil tillage magic, and earth vein spirit-attracting magic...

Even though there were only three Foundation Establishment cultivators present, the rest were Qi Refining cultivators. However, they knew quite a lot, and the various spells opened Li Ye's eyes.

Li Ye quietly hid in the crowd and listened to their discussions, and wrote down the insights that people occasionally shared. He planned to go back and save them directly in a jade slip, and study them carefully after he established his foundation.

You've already been in the spotlight enough just now, so now you'd better just stay quiet and make a fortune.

Fortunately, since he was hiding like this, no one came to bother him.

After the discussion ended, the cultivators took out their treasures for exchange. Su Ya and the other two foundation-building cultivators took out elixirs, classics, and magic tools respectively.

Among them, the magic weapon of the female cultivator named Jiang caught Li Ye's attention.

It was a round iron disc.

When the spirit stone is put in, it will automatically unfold, and the extended iron bars will penetrate deep into the ground, which can accurately transport water and spiritual energy to the area where the iron pipe extends, and can also control the flow of water and spiritual energy.

Up to eight tubes can be extended.

"This thing is called the Earth Vein Disk."

"It's a simplified version of the magical power of earth veins, which can cover an area of ​​about ten acres."

"Although it's not even a fraction as powerful as the original, it's still very worry-free to use it to grow spiritual plants or raise spiritual beasts."

She introduced the story eloquently, "My Jiang family has a partnership with the Mo family's seniors. If a spiritual weapon like this were sold outside, it would cost at least 500 spiritual stones, but now it only costs 200."

Li Ye was slightly moved.

This thing looks just like the dropper before the time travel, and can directly supply spiritual energy to the roots. Although I have the help of beavers, they can only water after all.

In addition, there are too many dams and streams dug by beavers, and my yard looks a bit messy. Having this thing would help a lot.

So he immediately said, "Senior Jiang, I want this!"

When he shouted, the other cultivators who were still hesitant immediately gave up. They could afford 200 spirit stones, but they were still reluctant to do so just for convenience.

"Okay." The female cultivator surnamed Jiang accepted his two hundred spirit stones and handed the shrunken disc to him, instructing him, "One spirit stone will keep it running for a week. Remember to replace the spirit stone promptly."

"If there's any damage, feel free to come find me at the Jiang Family Weapon Refining Workshop."

"Thank you, senior."

Li Ye nodded, took the plate, and retreated silently.

He looked at the items the monks were selling, to see if he could find anything useful.

As a result, he glanced around and suddenly saw a book placed in front of a monk. The book looked ordinary and was slightly yellowed.

But...it was actually a spirit beast!

【Name】:Huai Ling Scroll

[Status]: Permanently asleep, unable to wake up without special power
Mood: None

[Bindable]: Any spiritual plant that can provide it with spiritual energy and revive it.

Oh? A scroll transformed from a spirit beast?

He suppressed his excitement and approached the cultivator, politely asking, "I see that what you're selling seem to be ancient books and tomes. What profound magic spells do they contain?"

The monk quickly shook his head and said, "This isn't some profound book on magic. It contains some folk stories about strange things.

My elders have collected so many of these that I'd like to exchange them for some spirit stones. If you find them interesting, feel free to browse through them.

Each copy only costs one spirit stone."

Li Ye pretended to be curious and flipped through two books at random, then naturally took the "Huai Ling Book" in his hand and opened it.

Unexpectedly, it contains not only neat small seal script, but also pictures.

It seems that there is a thousand-year-old locust tree in a courtyard. This thousand-year-old locust tree is a spiritual plant with yin attributes. Over the years, some strange things have naturally occurred.

You know what, this story is really interesting.

"Let's take this one and this one!" Li Ye made a quick decision and took out two spirit stones, holding the Huai Ling Scroll and another book in his hands.

The monk who sold books was also smiling happily.

There were so many strange stories collected by his ancestors that they had piled up like a mountain. He just stole a few to see if he could exchange them for some spirit stones.

I didn't expect that there would actually be someone willing to exchange spirit stones for it.

In his excitement, he did not forget to try to catch the rich and stupid Li Daoyou.

"I have some ancient books on strange stories like this at home."

"If you're interested, you can come to my bookstall in the east corner of the market in a month. I'm sure the stories I'll find there will satisfy you!"

Li Ye nodded: "No problem."

He also expected that the fellow Taoist who sold books could give him some "surprises".

Both parties are very satisfied with the deal.

After buying a magic tool and two books, Li Ye didn't find anything else he wanted to buy, so he simply hid aside to enjoy fresh fruits, cakes and drinks.

In this way, this Taoyuan meeting ended with laughter and joy.

It was getting late at this time.

Li Ye declined Zhou Daoyou's invitation to go with him and returned to his home in the sunset. He first checked the spiritual beasts and plants in his home and found nothing was wrong.

Then he placed the earth vein plate underground, controlled it to insert the iron pipe near the roots of spiritual plants such as wheat, water hyacinth, and lotus, and told the beavers to release water into the entrance of the plate in the future.

The beavers were as clever as ever and immediately understood what he meant. They even destroyed some of the extra dams and carried the materials back to reinforce their own nests.

Without some dams and waterways, the yard immediately looked much fresher, and the earth vein complex also accurately transported water to the soil layer near each spiritual plant, which was really convenient.

“It really feels good not to have to work so hard.”

Li Ye took the Huai Ling scroll and walked around until he finally came to the lotus. He felt that at the moment, he seemed to have slightly more spiritual energy than the lotus.

Turns out he just tried to use the panel.

Not only did the lotus tremble and convey a sense of fear, but he himself also felt something was wrong.

[Unable to bind. Binding requires 2000 points of vitality essence.]

This number made Li Ye swallow unconsciously.

Two thousand points!
Wasn't it only 100 points when I bound that second-level Golden Red Dragon Carp? Now it has skyrocketed to 2,000 points. What level of spirit beast is it?

No, this can’t be a spirit monster!

He looked down at the old book in his hand. If it wasn't for the fact that it clearly stated on the panel that it would remain dormant forever unless there were special circumstances, he would have thrown it away out of fear!
Who could have imagined it could be so terrifying?
