Chapter 240 The Surprise in the Cave

Lying on the tree trunk, Li Ye held a semi-fictional book in his hand, flipping through it with a curious expression.

This thing is the Earth Book of the Magnolia Spirit Land.

Essentially, it was transformed from that small fragment of the Earth Book. However, since the original Earth Book was meant to cover the entire Ant Clan's Cave Heaven, it is truly a waste of its potential to use it in a blessed land within a hundred miles.

What Li Ye didn't expect was that this thing was also recognized as a spiritual plant/spiritual beast by his cheat system, and it displayed quite a lot of information—

[Title]: Fragments of the Earth Book - Magnolia Blessed Land
Mood: None

[Status]: The product of the fusion of the Earth Book fragment and the Magnolia Tree Fairy, which allows one to clearly and intuitively see all the spirit beasts/spirit plants/spirit veins/earth veins/souls, etc. inside.

Currently possessing: ...

What does this ellipsis mean? Could it be...?

As Li Ye's consciousness probed into it.

For an instant.

A series of [name], [mood], [status]...

All the life panels in the entire spiritual land appeared before his eyes. He didn't need to use his eyes or divine sense to check; everything was displayed before him.

Is the control panel really that effective?

Combined with the Earth Book, it's like unfolding a huge panel of the entire spiritual land.

Could it be because these are also part of the Earth Book, and were all recorded in it?

In other words, once it is "captured" by the Earth Book.

It will then become his property by default.

So is this thing really called the Earth Book and not the Investiture of the Gods, or is there something different about the "Earth Book Method" that Master Miaodu learned back then?
"Ugh."

It's a pity that Master Miaodu is no longer in this world, otherwise I could have asked him what the situation was.

"That's all."

"Being left or right is a good thing for me right now."

With the mindset of "what's done is done," Li Ye felt that being able to see everything directly was indeed a good thing for him.

Thinking of this, he looked at Li Yulan, who was sitting obediently to the side, and said:
"I will give you a brand new spiritual vein and help you reconstruct the earth's veins."

He stretched out his hand.

The Spirit Vine, which had already purchased ten fourth-order spiritual veins, immediately handed ten beads to Li Ye.

Within the crystal-clear beads are five-colored, root-like spiritual vein seeds—all of which are spiritual veins containing all five elements. Each of these fourth-order spiritual veins costs a million spirit stones.

After all, a fourth-order spiritual vein can already support the cultivation of three or four Golden Core cultivators. In a small family, it would be the foundation for passing down their lineage.

If he hadn't received a large sum of spirit stones from the Spirit Vine after his return, buying these ten spirit veins wouldn't have been an easy task.

"Thank you, Master!"

Li Yulan excitedly accepted the ten beads and then carefully buried them under the roots of her own body.

then.

Ten spiritual veins, resembling angry dragons, flowed out directly, initially displaying a colorful halo, but gradually merging into the ground and being divided among the dew-collecting magnolia trees.

But more importantly, it blends into the earth itself.

Li Ye glanced at the Earth Book and, sure enough, saw that it contained descriptions of ten new fourth-order earth veins with all five elements.

They even have an explanation of spiritual veins?

Then he began to use his power to construct earth veins and water veins, and together with Li Yulan, he transformed the entire Yulan Spirit Land into a place that could circulate independently.

It took him a lot of time.

This was largely thanks to his previous experience in building markets. It's clear that theoretical knowledge alone is insufficient for such matters; once the market is actually built, one realizes how rare and valuable it is to have overseen its construction.

that's it.

He finally completed the construction six months later.

And successfully freed the Magnolia Spirit Land from the constraints of the cave dwelling, allowing it to float in the sky. It wasn't very high, only nine zhang above the ground, with clouds and mist swirling around its edges.

The sunlight poured down on this sacred land, illuminating all the magnolia trees that received dew, making them shine brilliantly. The bright forest was surrounded by clouds and mist, truly like a magnificent scene from a fairyland.

Crystal Bees or other spirit beasts can still easily fly around in the cave.

The honey flows down from the four corners of the sacred land like a waterfall, where it is caught by mechanisms laid out below, then bottled and "nourished" with the spirit.

Of course, it will eventually be shipped to the outside world.

According to the contract signed between Li Ye and the sect, the honey is in high demand and short supply. As long as it is available, it can be sold immediately. There are also people in charge of contacting Lingji Teng to discuss the sale of the honey.

This is the end.

The matter of the Magnolia Spirit Land has finally come to an end.

"good."

Li Ye gazed at the flowing golden nectar and finally nodded in satisfaction, then instructed Li Yulan:

"From now on, I will give you 20% of the spirit stones from the sale of honey."

"Just tell Uncle Lingjiteng what you want."

The boy immediately nodded obediently.

"Yes!"

"Take your time to adjust to your cultivation level and take good care of the Earth Book and the spiritual land. I'll be leaving now."

Li Ye got up, stretched, and left the Magnolia Spirit Land.

He slowly paced around the cave.

The spirit vine beside him hopped and skipped, relaying the feedback from outside:
"The new honey was named Crystal Soul Honey by Ye Tang's disciples."

"The price per kilogram has now increased to one thousand spirit stones."

"Senior Brother Su Ya has already started refining pills at the Bitter Journey Academy and is researching brand new pill formulas."

"The 100 jin that was just delivered has been immediately divided up. They said they would send as much as they could."

"And Yang Ke from the Eastern Pole Yang Sea also wants to buy some brand new Crystal Soul Honey."

You should know that this is the nectar and honey produced by the "Earth Immortal" in the Earth Book and the "Deity" he appointed, so its value is naturally immeasurable.

Without even looking, Li Ye knew that all the Golden Core cultivators would be coming down to compete for the prizes, so he didn't dare leave his cave for fear of being caught by them.

but.

Li Ye wasn't concerned about the cultivators' scramble—that was exactly what he had expected.

What he cared about was that friend.

Is it engraved in relief?

Li Ye thought for a moment and asked, "How has he been lately?"

Knowing that its master had been paying attention, the Spirit Vine had already gathered a lot of information and immediately replied:
"He has been helping the Yangyao tribe with foreign trade during this period, and I heard that he has done a lot, but he is also getting further and further away from the position of tribal leader because his cultivation has regressed."

"His cultivation level has regressed?"

Li Ye had previously tried to break the curse in Yang Ke's bloodline. He even asked his master about it, but his master only told him not to get involved.

There are far too many complicated circumstances between Wang Shu and the Merfolk, far beyond what outsiders can easily interfere with—even though Li Ye still has some influence with Wang Shu.

"That's all."

"Give it to him if he wants it."

After a pause, Li Ye added, "As long as there are no problems with the sect's supplies, give him as much as he wants."

By now, Li Ye no longer harbors any anger towards Yang Ke. They had once been friends, and as long as Yang Ke is doing well, he doesn't care.

Everyone has their own ambitions. Perhaps the path Yang Ke is on now is the best one for him. As long as Yang Ke himself is happy, he will also be happy for his friend's happiness.

It's best not to impose your will on others. "Yes."

"Then I'm leaving... Waaah, please don't leave in such a hurry. I'll stay with you after I've finished dealing with these things."

After Lingji Teng finished speaking pitifully, she went to make the arrangements.

There are some things he needs to do in person, so he can't stay by Li Ye's side.

"This guy."

"I have indeed wronged you somewhat."

It has to be said that Li Ye hadn't spent much time with Lingji Teng, but hearing it acting so affectionately like this softened his heart, and he decided to stay a little longer.

Li Ye continued to stroll slowly through the cave.

In no time, he was surrounded by a circle of beavers, flint crystal insects, and the spirits of silver moon grass, completely encircling him.

He was helpless.

He could only let these little guys wander around him, but he did feel much more relaxed, and even the air in the cave seemed sweet.

Ok?
Sweet?

Li Ye looked in the direction the wind was blowing.

It was a grove of laurel trees with flowers as big as fists, seemingly made of pure gold, in full bloom. They grew on an island in the middle of the lake, a golden expanse that was more dazzling than the sunlight.

That gold wasn't a vulgar gold, but rather a vibrant gold that seemed to possess a spiritual glow.

"It's the golden osmanthus tree."

Come to think of it, I haven't paid much attention to the Moon Soul Pearl Clam since I first bound it.

After all, it's just for the sake of diversifying his honey supply, especially after acquiring the Spirit Vine, he no longer needs to worry about these things.

Unexpectedly, they have grown into a forest.

"Jiji!"

When the beavers noticed that Li Ye was looking in the direction of the island in the middle of the lake, they immediately made calls that sounded like calling or summoning.

then.

A flying boat made of bamboo and wood ants immediately arrived in front of Li Ye and slowly landed.

Immediately afterwards, the beavers lined up in two rows and stretched out their short little paws in unison, making a "please get on the boat" gesture.

"..."

"Where did you learn this from?"

Li Ye couldn't help but laugh. He blinked and suddenly had an idea. He chuckled and took out a bunch of Wan Chen bamboo ants and Jing Mo moss silkworms, saying to the beavers:

"You should all learn something too."

"Here, each tanuki, take a copy. Go back and read the classics carefully, especially the ones your leader has read. I'll be testing you at the end of the year."

"If you do poorly in the exam, I'll ask the teachers from the Bitter Journey Academy to teach you. If you come in last place... hehe."

He didn't say anything more.

But the beavers looked at the pile of "pens and ink" with great confusion in their small eyes, gazing at Li Ye pitifully with disbelief.

"Jiji?"

Even their cries became cautious.

"Hmm." Li Ye's expression remained calm, but what he said almost made the beavers fall to the ground: "Not only you, but also the children you give birth to must be taught from a young age."

These words plunged the beavers into despair.

They listlessly slumped down, taking one by one the Ten Thousand Bamboo Ants and the Quiet Ink Moss Silkworms, turning back every few steps, hoping that Li Ye would change his mind.

But Li Ye's mind was made up.

These beavers had been with him since the very beginning, and he planned to raise them well, making them read a sufficient number of classic texts so that this knowledge could be passed down from generation to generation.

The elders in the sect all use this method to cultivate their unique spirit beast race.

The beavers have become so clever after absorbing the merit and fortune from the hungry bones; it would be a waste not to study hard.

As for whether they will develop a dislike for school...

At worst, I can just leave and let the original five beavers play the good cop.

After watching the beavers, who had been lively and energetic at first, leave with their heads down and looking half-dead, he finally stepped onto the bamboo boat.

Then... ant legs appeared beneath the bamboo boat, running forward at an extremely fast speed, quickly delivering Li Ye to the island in the middle of the lake.

The entire journey is only about one kilometer.

You could say Li Yemaimai's legs came faster than this, but there still needs to be some sense of ceremony.

To maintain an air of mystery, he never used his divine sense to observe the cave.

Once on the island, he glanced around and quickly noticed something unusual.

That's some...

It's a strange, but also quite beautiful, "clam shell".

They floated slowly in mid-air, their overall color a golden hue consistent with that of the osmanthus tree. The shells were slightly open, revealing many silver osmanthus beads inside.

Those osmanthus flowers are all alive.

【Name】:Shining Silver Osmanthus Beads

[Mood]: Chaotic
[Status]: In the process of gestation, the combination of countless incomplete souls conceived by the Moon Soul Embracing Pearl Clam can give birth to the "Moon Laurel Flower Spirit".

It will be born when the moonlight and starlight shine upon it.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

As Li Ye gazed at the silver beads inside the clam shell, he inexplicably felt a sense of... oppression.

The beads seemed to be of a higher status than I had imagined.

But whether it's the Radiant Golden Laurel Tree or the Moon Soul Pearl-Embracing Clam, they are only Foundation Establishment level spiritual objects. How could they possibly put pressure on a Golden Core True Person like him?

"interesting."

"Moonlight and starlight, huh?"

Li Ye thought for a moment, then reached out and beckoned.

The spirit of the Silver Moon Grass, which had been swirling around his body, immediately emitted strands of cool, clear light, instantly enveloping the island in the center of the lake.

And the next breath.

The starlight of the Big Dipper, which exists in Li Ye's microcosm, was also summoned.

For a moment, starlight and moonlight shone together.

The pure silver and mysterious blue complement each other.

The light shone upon the moon-embracing pearl-shaped clam.

The clam shell seemed to freeze instantly. It landed with a "thud," its body trembling slightly. Occasionally, when it opened and closed, beams of almost terrifying spiritual energy would burst out from within.

It was as if a tongue was constantly licking and devouring the surrounding moonlight and starlight, sending it all into the Radiant Silver Osmanthus Pearl.

As time passes slowly.

An extremely terrifying aura, definitely at the Golden Core level, flowed out from the clam shell.

At the same time, the status displayed on the panel made Li Ye narrow his eyes slightly.

Without making a sound, he reached out and grasped his own sun and moon ring.

Spiritual energy began to rise.
