Chapter 246 Giant Otter Fights Earth Dragon

sorry.

When Li Ye saw the blueprints for the "Spirit Locking Prison" made from Tianlu Spirit Wood, he instantly regretted it.

Because this thing is very complicated.

It could even be said to be so complicated that even he was a little confused after just one glance.

Seeing his distressed expression, the Spirit Vine curiously approached and muttered:
"Eighty-one fourth-order spiritual veins."

"Self-Locking Soul Array".

“One thousand eight hundred and thirty-two demon-suppressing trees.”

"The complete cycle of earth, water, fire, and wind; the changes of spiritual plants according to the twenty-four solar terms..."

It spoke louder and louder.

Finally, it collapsed onto Li Ye with a "thud," feigning a pitiful, dying expression, and said, "Master, are you really going to take on this mission?"

"This is almost no easier than building a grotto heaven, and we also have to consider the degree of her integration with the Tianlu Spirit Wood... I don't think even your Jianmu was built like this."

This is indeed true.

Even Li Ye's own Jianmu World and Lesser Thousand Worlds don't have such a perfect structure, yet this Soul Locking Prison is being perfected at the level of a Cave Heaven World.

"Ugh."

"But I've already promised someone."

"Since you've agreed, you must do it seriously."

Li Ye reached out and rubbed the Spirit Vine. "Would you like to go out for a walk?"

what?
The Spirit Vine didn't react for a moment, and then it started babbling on and on:
"What will you do if I go out and leave?"

"Without me, you wouldn't even bother to pour yourself a cup of tea."

"You won't go without eating forever, will you?"

Hearing this, Li Ye's smile deepened; this guy clearly wanted to get out.

Otherwise, there would be no need to worry about what would happen after it left.

"You make me sound like a little kid. Do you expect me to hang a big pancake around my neck and slowly gnaw on it?"

“I have already trained the spirit beasts needed by several markets, including Dongyan, but I do not wish to go there again, so you can go in my place.”

As he spoke, Li Ye waved.

Several otters, which walk upright and are tall and well-proportioned, but have very cute faces, immediately walked over from the side.

Each of them is a full two meters tall. Although they don't have particularly large muscles, they give off a rather fierce feeling, and even their eyes are bright as if they are flashing with a menacing light.

Especially that flat head, which looks exactly like it's been marked with a ruler, it just looks a bit strange.

After a few otters came over, they greeted Li Ye with a fist and palm salute in a very chivalrous manner.

It actually spoke human language.

"Owner!"

His voice was rough but carried a hint of youthful spirit.

"..."

Lingji Teng bent its body into a question mark shape.

"When did you start breeding these giant lake otters?"

It seemed somewhat afraid of these giant otters, obediently hiding beside Li Ye. Or rather, not only it, but even the beavers scattered.

The Bluebird and the Heart-Shaped Clay Doll glanced at each other and continued with their own business.

Among aquatic spirit beasts, giant lake otters are practically overlords, except for a few that are exceptionally powerful or live in groups.

Because they are gregarious, coupled with their fearless courage, strong physique, and skillful application of various water-based spells, if their numbers reach a certain level, they would even dare to fight against dragons.

They are very competitive and ruthless.

But Li Ye actually said that they could cure the "diseases" of Dongyanfang City?
"It's strange, isn't it?" Li Ye reached out to touch the giant otter's head, but found that he couldn't reach it. Fortunately, the giant otter was sensible enough to lower its head, which prevented Ling Ye Zhenren from being too embarrassed.

"Then go and see for yourself what they're capable of."

"Sometimes, you just can't spoil them."

He smiled mysteriously, raised his finger, forced out a drop of essence blood, and injected it directly into the Spirit Vine's body.

With this drop of essence blood, the Spirit Vine can communicate with him. Li Ye can use the Spirit Vine's vision to see the outside world at any time, and the Spirit Vine can also use his magic power.

"Then...then I'm leaving?"

"go Go."

While asking questions, Lingji Teng began packing her luggage.

It possesses some spatial power and has storage space within its body, capable of holding items roughly the size of a courtyard.

So packing luggage is simply stuffing it inside the body, then detaching it from the body, and you can leave by hopping and skipping.

This guy was obviously very happy.

After receiving Li Ye's permission, they were overjoyed and jumped for joy, then left the cave with more than a dozen giant lake otters.

Li Ye watched the direction it left in, a slight smile playing on his lips.

I wonder what kind of expression this guy will have when he sees the effects of the Giant Lake Otter?
……

When they arrived at Dongyan Market via the teleportation array and came out of the Four Seasons Tower, the disciple next to them blinked.

He quickly clasped his hands in a respectful greeting: "Uncle-Master!"

"Ah."

When outside, Lingji Teng was quite aloof. He calmly replied and then said, "I am the spirit pet of True Man Lingye. I have brought this fine medicine to pay my respects to True Man Du."

Lingye Zhenren?

The disciple was startled and gestured, "Please come with me, Uncle-Master. Wait a moment, and I will inform the elders!"

And so, the Spirit Vine and the Giant Lake Otters were led to a quiet room, where servants served them some pastries and tea, and carefully inquired whether they needed fresh fish or other food.

They recognized the giant lake otter.

After all, Dongyan Market has nothing but plenty of fish.

With abundant fish and plentiful food, many aquatic creatures naturally settled here, including the giant lake otter.

"no need."

These dozen or so giant lake otters were exceptionally clever. After waving their hands, they each found a seat and sat down, half-lying down, looking just like humans.

Such handsome spirit beasts naturally attract a lot of attention, and the servants passing by all took a few more glances, especially at their well-proportioned and robust bodies.

A mythical beast, you know.

Strong, beautiful, or ethereal—all these qualities will attract attention.

Not a moment later.

Master Du, who had previously discussed matters with Li Ye, came in person.

He already knew before he arrived that it was Li Ye's Spirit Vine that was visiting, and although he felt a little regretful, there was nothing he could do about it.

His idea was naturally to hope that Li Ye could come in person. Li Ye's deeds had already spread far and wide, and his reputation had spread far and wide.

If someone like that could come and offer even a little guidance, it would be an incredible stroke of luck.

Master Du suppressed this regret.

He smiled and said to the Spirit Vine, "It's a pity you've come all this way, fellow Daoist." The Spirit Vine is a spiritual plant exclusive to the Star Tracing lineage. Seeing the Spirit Vine is like seeing the cultivator himself. Although he is nominally Li Ye's senior uncle, he dares not be presumptuous in the slightest.

After all, he couldn't really give Li Ye too many benefits, but if Li Ye wanted, he could easily give his family several more unique spiritual items.

no way.

With family responsibilities, he couldn't simply treat Li Ye in the same way that the sect would.

"Not at all, not at all."

Lingji Teng replied politely, then went straight to the point: "My master, Lingye Zhenren, already knows the crux of this market."

Therefore, they specifically sent me to treat this patient.

"Hmm." Du Zhenren suddenly realized that he didn't need to come in person to figure out the crux of the problem.
"May I ask what caused this?" Master Du asked anxiously.

"It is due to the techniques of understanding local conditions."

Lingji Teng didn't keep anyone in suspense: "When the Earth Conditioning Technique was used back then, the soil and water should have been relatively stable. But as time has passed, the focus of your city should now be on Dongyan Lake, right?"

"Therefore, it is the earth that feels dissatisfied."

"Local conditions should be treated equally."

Is that really the case?

This reason was something Master Du had not anticipated, since the art of geomancy was first used by plant masters thousands of years ago, when Dongyan Market was first established.

He had discussed it with his family and even the true people in the sect, but none of them noticed that it was the art of earth manipulation.

So Li Ye figured it out even before he arrived?

What a talent!

Master Du never doubted that Li Ye might have made a mistake in his diagnosis, because he already knew in his heart that although this matter was impossible, the more impossible something seemed, the more likely it was to be the truth!

Thinking of this, he asked urgently, "Has True Person Lingye offered a treatment method?"

"of course."

This time, the one that responded was the largest of the giant lake otters.

It stood up and looked directly at Master Du: "According to my master, Master, you only need to do one thing for me and my siblings, and we will be able to resolve this matter!"

"Tell me what it is," Master Du promised.

The giant otter made its request.

When Master Du heard the request from the Giant Lake Otter, his expression subtly changed, becoming quite strange.

But he still agreed.

Moreover, with a complex expression, they led them to the location of the Earthly Realm Temple, which existed in every market town and was where the Earthly Realm Technique was first performed.

After opening the palace doors, the giant otters strode in proudly, leaving Master Du and Lingji Teng outside.

The person and the vine exchanged a glance.

They all gazed expectantly at the vast, misty lake in the distance.

Not a moment later.

Suddenly, on the lake surface appeared the enormous otter figures, composed entirely of water mist, each surrounded by a radiant light of love songs and the illusory image of a compassionate and radiant lotus lantern.

Each of them was hundreds of feet tall.

Amidst the swirling mist, the ethereal light of the Love Song and the flickering flames of the Lotus Lantern intertwine, creating a breathtaking interplay of water and fire. Furthermore, the fact that the body is composed almost entirely of the purest spiritual water gives one a sense of solemn and sacred grandeur.

All the cultivators still in the market and by the lake stared wide-eyed with curiosity at the suddenly appearing, god-like giant otter.

"Isn't that the Giant Lake Otter?"

"Are they really that huge? Could they be Nascent Soul level spirit otters?"

"Wait, what are those flags behind them?"

The last sentence caught the attention of all the cultivators—behind these dozen or so spirit otters, a phantom banner bearing the words "Spirit Leaf" fluttered in the wind.

"Lingye? Could it be the Spirit Leaf Immortal?"

"I heard that Master Lingye cultivated many unique spiritual plants and beasts. The gourd pills and gourd oil we buy now, and the sweet potato dragon meat we eat, were all cultivated by him."

"So these giant otters are also...? They're so powerful..."

Amidst the astonished discussion among the assembled cultivators.

The giant otters slowly approached the land. The spiritual energy swirling around them drew near to the earth, causing the long-accumulated resentment within the land to materialize with the help of the Love Song and the Lotus Lantern.

They transformed into one after another jet-black dragons.

They roared silently at the giant otter.

The earth itself trembled.

—This is a warning that the land has been exploited for thousands of years, and the entire Dongyan Market, whether in terms of formations or spiritual veins, is gradually developing towards the lake.

They were already furious.

It was only because the plant master who set up the earth-conditioning technique was incredibly powerful that the magic array and palace she set up had not yet failed, and the earth had not yet "gone to war" with Dongyan Lake.

And now they actually dare to provoke and approach them?
Do they really think that just because the earth dragon doesn't speak, it can treat people like mudfish?
As they roared, the giant otters responded simply, leaping over and attacking without a word, pinning down the earth dragon and relentlessly hammering it.

This naturally provoked a strong counterattack from the earth dragons.

The spiritual energy transformed into a terrifying force that caused mountains to collapse and the earth to split. The dragon's tail slammed into the giant otter's body, causing water vapor to scatter from its body. The spiritual energy within, along with the celestial light of the Love Song and the flame of the Lotus Lantern, fell like rain.

It was like blood splattering everywhere.

They fluttered and scattered across the earth.

The spiritual plants and beasts living on land that were watered became energetic, as if they had been irrigated with nectar.

It seems that the blackness has lightened slightly.

The giant otters were not to be outdone. Their claws and mouths were weapons, and they tore off the black scales from the earth dragon's body by grabbing and biting. Some of the scales were thrown into the lake, while others were swallowed whole.

His eyes were filled with ferocity and fighting spirit.

The dark scales that were thrown into the lake were gently enveloped by the water, and it seemed as if one could see five-colored water lilies slowly blooming.

It gradually fell silent amidst the boiling, then was completely embraced by the lake water, sinking to the bottom and disappearing from sight.

The battle between these colossal creatures was certainly spectacular—many cultivators even spontaneously started betting to see who would win and who would lose.

Master Du witnessed this scene.

"Is it really so??"

He watched as the earth dragon and the giant otter fought hand-to-hand, drawing blood, a scene resembling a life-or-death struggle, and was deeply moved.

How could Li Ye have come up with this method?
The Spirit Vine was also sluggish, but it was still a vine after all, and no one would notice its sluggishness.

This scene, along with the changes in the earth and lake, instantly made it understand Li Ye's idea—simply put, to let the earth vent its anger, and incidentally, to have Dongyan Lake compensate the earth.

After all, they were originally created by the art of geomancy, and this situation only occurred over time; they were originally one entity.

Since they are all one entity, communication is actually quite easy.

Moreover, this kind of primitive spiritual thought is actually quite simple.

The giant otter represents the lake, and the blood and flesh it spills are extremely pure spiritual power, as well as the divine light of the Melody of Love and the Lotus Lantern. As long as it is sprinkled on the earth, it can be considered as compensation.

The earth dragon represents the earth, and what is torn off from it is deep resentment. This resentment is digested by the lake and then absorbed by the spiritual essence within the lake, thus naturally eliminating the resentment.

only……

Lingji Teng's only curiosity was: how exactly was this made?
Why was the Giant Lake Otter able to get the spirits of Cave Smoke Lake to cooperate? If the spirits themselves were so generous, then what happened before would not have occurred.
