Chapter 215 Earthquake, Earth Tree, Ant Tribe, and Earth Book

Chen Mo, who was entertaining, or rather luring, the ant tribe, felt the earth suddenly tremble, and a bad feeling immediately arose in his mind.

Isn't my junior brother in Dongcang Town?

They shouldn't suddenly appear in the market and cause trouble.

But this familiar feeling made him feel uneasy, and he immediately and quietly used his access privileges to discover that Rat Thirteen was transferring his privileges to his junior brother.

He made a decisive decision in that instant.

Looking at the ant-like cultivators who were still marveling at the architecture of the Four Seasons Sect, he said, "Fellow Daoists who have come from afar, why not take a look at our arrangements for the Earthquake Earthworm?"

In your hometown, isn't the Earthworm a sacred animal?

According to the original itinerary and plan, Chen Mo intended to proceed slowly.

But since Li Ye has taken action against the Earthquake Earth, he will resolutely trust his junior brother. It may just have some bad consequences, but so what?

The ant nests beyond that sky were already under their and the Mo family's control; it was just a matter of spending more effort and deploying some puppets to conquer them.

Their original intention was to first try diplomacy before resorting to force.

They can't let those "ant tribes" really think that the Four Seasons Sect is just recruiting people, and that after recruiting them, it's time to show off their strength.

From the moment they are targeted, the "ant tribe" can no longer escape.

The poor ant tribe is also a bit strange:
"Earthquake?"

"Is Master Mochen saying that the ground tremors just now were caused by an earthworm?"

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes."

Seeing is believing.

"Please follow me, fellow Daoists."

Just do it.

He directly opened a staircase leading downwards on the ground and then made a gesture of invitation.

He then calmly led them downstairs.

They soon arrived at the location of the Earthquake Earthworm deep within the Earth Vein Formation.

At this moment, the original scenery of this place has been completely changed, replaced by a "tree" that shines brightly in the soil, seemingly not in a single space, and is composed of countless mineral veins.

Its foundation consists of ores and veins, with earth veins and spiritual energy flowing through its meridians. Its inhabitants are none other than the earth-shaking earthworms that are struggling to move their bodies and try to bleed out more blood.

What's peculiar is that when one of the earthworms is injured, all the other earthworms can experience the "pleasure" of their companion's injury, enjoying the exhilarating feeling of their blood taking root in the earth and turning into mineral veins.

Some earthworms were pestering the disdainful Forging Spirit Sect cultivators, deliberately wagging their tails and nudging their heads, only to be beaten up before happily shrieking and scurrying around.

In addition, there was a swordsman standing there, his sword constantly helping the earthworm "prune" its body.

This scene caused even Chen Mo, whose face had always been calm and composed, displaying the demeanor of a great sect leader, to tremble slightly.

what is this?
Fortunately, he was already used to his junior brother causing trouble. After a brief silence, he called out, "Junior brother, the ant clan's fellow Daoists have arrived!"

He felt that Li Ye must have discovered him, and the reason he wasn't coming out must be because he was holding back some thoughts, so he simply shouted out.

really.

After he shouted that, Li Ye poked his head out from the tree canopy and casually tossed something down, which fell to the ground like a shooting star.

Then, without a trace of human presence, he flashed and appeared in front of Chen Mo and several ant-clan cultivators.

"I'm sorry, senior brother, you're a little late."

He pointed to the objects on the ground and said helplessly, "These earthworms are trying to repay my kindness by offering me rent for this house. That's how it is."

When the ant-race cultivators saw what was on the ground, their transformation spells almost failed, their eyes bulged, and they wished they could stick to it immediately: "It! It's this thing!"

There was a flower on the ground.

A five-colored flower embodying all five elements: flames burning, water flowing, soil splitting, metal gleaming, and petals constantly radiating vitality.

That's not a spiritual plant, but a very special spiritual object that only the Earthquake Earth Clan can create. It's called the "Mineral Essence Five Elements Flower," which is nourished by their essence blood and the spiritual power of mineral veins containing all five elements.

This cannot be forced; it must be done voluntarily.

It contains the essence of various mineral veins and the spiritual essence of earthworm blood from earthquakes.

It is the favorite of all spirit beasts and plants that need to devour mineral veins and grow minerals—including, of course, the ant race from outer space.

The reason these ant tribes revere the Earthquake Earthworm as a sacred beast is to obtain this item. A mineral essence flower like this can enable them to give birth to five offspring with talents almost identical to those of humans.

It's important to understand that because the ant tribe has a large population, very few of them possess intelligence that is close to that of humans. Without the help of this mineral essence Five Elements Flower to ensure the continuation of the ant tribe's royal lineage, the ant tribe might even descend into chaos.

—Among those sent out was the ant queen's most beloved youngest son, and his feelings upon seeing this thing were extremely complex.

In this world, even the Earthquake Earth God Beast voluntarily offers its own essence blood and the mineral essence Five Elements Flower composed of countless minerals, without needing any worship or daily offerings of various treasures.

When the prince realized that his own clan's sacred beast was merely a tenant paying "rent" here, his mindset underwent a subtle change.

Who is Li Ye?

Even without actively using the love song, he could sense the prince's unease and inner turmoil, not to mention the obvious display on the panel—

[Name]: The King of Earth Ants
[Mood]: Shock, self-doubt, hesitation, anxiety.

[Status]: Blessed by a replica of the treasure "Earth Book" fragment, it possesses the ability to understand the language of all living beings on earth and to change its form.

[Can be bound]: Descendants of those with innate spiritual roots.

what?
This is really something you don’t know until you see it, and you will be shocked when you see it.

Do these "ant tribe" members actually have such unique backgrounds?

Ground writing?

A natural spiritual root?!
Li Ye's original intention of just teasing the other party changed, and he exchanged a glance with his third senior brother, Chen Mo.

Chen Mo understood with just a glance.

He smiled and said, "It seems that you all are quite interested in the spirit pets that my junior brother raises. Why don't you stay here for a while?"

My junior brother will be in charge of receiving you all. What do you think?
My junior brother is the one who cultivated those bamboo and wood ants, and he is also very good at building houses—the big tree where the earthworm in the distance lives was built by my junior brother.

"You all are fortunate to have met, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to see my junior brother. Even for us hundreds of Nascent Soul elders, seeing him would require a stroke of luck."

These extraterrestrial ants were completely dumbfounded.

This sounds a bit outrageous.

But after secretly glancing at Li Ye a few more times, they immediately realized that this person was indeed extraordinary; his mere aura made them want to get closer.

"Very good!"

The tall man among the ant tribe nodded and somewhat awkwardly cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Li Ye: "Then I'll trouble you..."

"Just call me Lingye."

Li Ye had now regained his usual calm demeanor and extended his hand in invitation, saying, "Although you have come from afar, my Four Seasons Sect has many wonderful methods. What I have shown you is only a drop in the ocean."

"Then I'll give these mineral essence five-element flowers as gifts to you all. I have plenty of them anyway."

The more aloof and casual he was, the more these ant-tribe fellow cultivators, who seemed like country bumpkins visiting the city, revered him and nodded hastily.

"Thank you very much, Master Lingye!"

Finally, after exchanging a "leave everything to me" look with his third senior brother, Li Ye left satisfied.

Finally, I'm rid of a troublesome matter.

He also had to worry about the auction planning. The auction invitations were already in high demand, as everyone knew that this was the first newly built market town in the Four Seasons Sect after a thousand years, a completely new and fertile land.

With him overseeing the situation, Li Ye strategizing for the region, True Person Su Xing watching over things, and the sect leader personally issuing orders, it's already an extremely high level of protocol.

The power struggles and intrigues between these factions are his forte, so only he can handle this matter.

He had already played the good cop and performed the proper etiquette; now it was up to Li Ye to play the bad cop and show his strength.

……

"Master Lingye".

The tall ant-man named Yi Bing spoke up: "Within our clan's territory, there are special spirit stones that can make puppets and objects move."

This is it.

Previously, Master Lingye, your bamboo and wood ants absorbed this substance, which allowed them to truly deceive all of us and grow stronger within the clan's territory.

He took out a crystal with a bright green color.

There seemed to be wisps of silk or... insect eggs wriggling repeatedly inside the crystal, which looked very unsettling.

Ant C took out this item to show off, because he was certain that it was unique to their region and definitely not found in this world.

For plant enthusiasts, this object is simply a wonderful lure.

However, Li Ye only glanced at it and casually said:
"So this is what it is."

"The crystal on the outside should be the resin of the Ginseng Fruit Tree, and the inside is a kind of spiritual seed called Mystic Mycelium that you have cultivated. You say that you use this to feed the puppet, but it is actually a kind of sacrifice and filling method."

"Nothing special."

The ant tribe members: "..."

They looked at each other.

Even if the Four Seasons Sect and the Mo family's outposts had obtained some samples, they would never have known what these spiritual objects were called internally.

As a result, this Master Lingye actually said it directly?

They weren't exactly drenched in sweat instantly, but they were pretty close.

Li Ye took in their expressions.

These guys actually want to show off their spiritual plants and beasts to him? With the control panel, if they dare to take them out, they're just "instruction manuals" to expand his knowledge base.

Yi Bing said somewhat awkwardly, "We didn't bring any treasures with us when we came. This is the only thing we want to offer to True Person Lingye. Please, True Person, accept it!"

"Thank you." Li Ye casually took the resin and put it into the Jianmu tree, then began to analyze the internal spiritual energy composition using the tree's spiritual energy.

Then he said directly, "Since you have come here, you must have the intention of befriending my Four Seasons Sect."

Why don't you just tell me what you're thinking?

After all, I have many Taoist techniques to study in depth, and I really don't have the energy or time to beat around the bush with you all. Although I promised my senior brother that I would entertain you all, I'm sure you all know my status.

Even if I were to forcibly keep you here now, no one would dare say a word against me.

As he spoke, he casually sculpted a small mud house, pointed at it with his finger, and the magical power of the Xiang River flowed into the mud house, causing it to shimmer with warm and clear water light.

Houses!

This scene made Yi Bing, who was about to say something, swallow his words and put on a smile: "We do indeed have the idea of ​​cooperating with your sect."

Upon hearing this, the older members of the ant race around him were slightly taken aback, but none of them spoke—this was in front of a major sect in a world, and a Golden Core cultivator with real power; arguing at this moment would only make them a laughing stock.

And no matter what the prince says, they will support him.

“But…” Yi Bing thought of what his mother had told him before he came, and said, “We want to obtain a territory in your clan where we can develop freely.”

Li Ye didn't speak, she just stared at him.

Their clear pupils reflected everyone, as if they were surrounded and enveloped in a special space, about to drown.

Only after he was completely drenched in sweat did Li Ye slowly say, "My family is very large and powerful, so a piece of land is really nothing to us."

But you also need to prove your worth.

How could you possibly expect me to personally petition the sect to allocate you a piece of land for recuperation and development? If I were to petition, the benefits I would bestow upon you would be unimaginable.

This time, Ant C didn't hesitate at all.

He took out a mottled, yellowed page from a brocade pouch close to his body. The page was less than an inch long, but the moment it came out, it exuded an indescribable spirituality and a profound earthy aura.

It's as if this small page of the book carries a vast land, where vegetation flourishes, all things thrive, and rivers and streams gurgle and murmur, eventually converging into a lake like a bright pearl.

Li Ye stared at the page.

He had originally planned to proceed slowly, but he didn't expect the other party to take out this treasure right from the start.

Fragments of a reproduction of the ground book.

Yi Bing promptly knelt down and presented the book pages with both hands:
"I am willing to exchange this treasure for the protection of your clan!"

"This is something my mother instructed me to take with me when she left. My mother had six sons, and each of them had a page of this precious book."

He dared not look Li Ye in the eye.

Those clear eyes seemed to see right through his schemes.

The other ant-people also knelt down, heads bowed, not daring to release their divine senses, awaiting the decision of the ethereal Lingye Zhenren.

Time passed by breath by breath.

finally.

Li Ye said, "Okay."

The sound was truly heavenly, instantly relieving these ants, who were all at least at the Golden Core level.

Sweat dripped onto the ground.

The pressure is terrifying!
The mottled, yellowed pages flew automatically into Li Ye's palm.

Suddenly, the ant, which had previously shown no unusual signs, began to radiate countless rays of light from its palm.

seem.

It's like he can't wait.
