Chapter 248 In the Demon Clan's Alchemy Workshop, the Five-Colored Flower's Responsibility

On the back of Li Ye's fair hand, the two small snake bite marks were radiating a deep red spiritual light.

It was like thick, foul-smelling blood.

He could feel the burning pain spreading, but he remained calm and even took the time to observe:
"An attack on the soul and consciousness."

"Tsk, it must be the Crimson Fire Serpent from the Southern Region."

"I wonder who is stronger, you or Jiehuo?"

As his words fell.

The fiery spirit, which had been eagerly jumping around, extended its spirituality through the poison.

It was very rough and reckless, charging around recklessly.

They completely disregard whether the other party has the ability to trap spirits.

Only it could do that, after all, it is the spirit of calamity fire. There must be treasures in this world that can trap calamity fire with spirituality, but they would never be so easy to come by.

A mere Golden Core Crimson Serpent was naturally no match for it.

The spirit of calamity burned along the Love Melody and the Demon-Suppressing Tree.

On the other side, Chi Ling, who was waiting for Li Ye to burst into tears, saw the calamity flames burning on his hands.

"!!!"

"Ahhh!"

Before she even noticed, the pain from the flames had already spread, an irresistible agony that burned away everything from her soul to her entire being.

The intense pain caused her to collapse to the ground instantly, her clothes in disarray. She rolled around violently, even revealing her true form, but no matter how much she struggled, the flames of calamity continued to burn steadily.

Ultimately, most of her soul was burned away, while a small portion was absorbed into the flames of calamity.

Only the unscathed corpse lay on the ground.

The spirit of the calamity fire slowly emerged and floated in mid-air, seemingly still wanting more.

A powerful demon in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm was thus easily defeated.

"Humph."

Li Ye waved casually.

The bite marks on my wrist faded immediately and disappeared completely.

Jin Dan wanted to destroy his soul?

That's a joke.

However, the fact that this powerful demon is lying in ambush means that the other party must already know that Shuang Li is under their control.

It remains to be seen how much of the information provided by Shuang Li is true and how much is false.

So there really is only this one great demon?
Why don't we go and take a look ourselves?

Li Ye thought for a moment, then reached out and pulled out the clay doll, instructing it, "I need your help."

"Through the Demon-Suppressing Tree and the Melody of Love, send the Xiangshui Residence and a wisp of your power to the other side, so that the gate can take shape."

"It can accommodate me."

The mud doll nodded after hearing Li Ye's instructions.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

He waved his plump, lotus-root-like arms, drawing strength from Li Ye's Xiangshui residence.

Then it was transmitted through the Demon-Suppressing Tree.

Gradually, a pure white and flawless domain formed around Shuang Li, who was lying on the ground and almost dying.

A gate rose from the ground.

This was just an ordinary wooden door in a commoner's house, but as the door was pushed open, Li Ye actually stepped out from inside.

The vast distance was so easily erased, but the price was that the spiritual energy accumulated in the Xiangshui residence was reduced by half.

"Well."

Li Ye rubbed his temples.

Although the spiritual energy of the houses in Xiangshui was extremely special, the ultra-long-distance teleportation array that spanned tens of thousands of miles still made him feel a little dizzy.

After a while, he withdrew the spirit of the Calamity Fire and obtained the unburnt soul of the Crimson Serpent contained within.

Then he looked at Shuangli, who was almost cold, and gently touched it with his finger.

A halo of light, like springtime revival, enveloped the giant wolf, and in a short while, all the toxins and death energy within its body were dispelled.

—This supernatural power was inspired by the "Treatise on Regulating the Spirit with the Four Qi" in the "Huangdi Neijing" that was sealed by the spirit tortoise.

Once unleashed, it can be said to bring withered trees back to life and rotten wood to bloom.

Treating frostbite is naturally not a difficult task.

Poor Shuang Li had a truly dramatic day. He was enjoying a meal and drinks when he was first burned by a fire and then nearly killed by snake venom.

So much so that when I instinctively stood up, my eyes were still a little dazed.

It didn't resemble the proud and aloof Frost Wolf; rather, it looked like the little white dog that the neighbor kept back in Dongcang Town.

"Cough cough."

Li Ye coughed softly.

Shuang Li immediately snapped back to his senses.

The events of the past flooded his mind like a tidal wave, giving him a jolt.

Her tail swayed wildly as she rushed over and grabbed Li Ye's leg: "Master, save me! Chi Leng is the daughter of Chi Tun, the ancestor of the Chi Lian Fire Serpent clan."

She must know what I'm doing!
You must save me!

It's obvious that the so-called Crimson Swallow Ancestor must have accumulated a great deal of prestige, otherwise Frost Fierce wouldn't have been so frightened that he tucked his tail between his legs.

"Why panic?"

"He's probably only at the Nascent Soul stage."

Li Ye patted the giant wolf's head, and the glow of the Jianmu tree began to emanate from its feet.

Squads of bamboo ants and golden ant emerged from it.

Then they began to renovate this simple and crude cave dwelling, which looked like a random cave they had just found—they laid out floors, constructed magic arrays, and completely transformed the entire cave.

Although Li Ye really wanted to stay here to investigate the two spirit scrolls, he also knew that the magic of the demon race was unpredictable and might be able to see through his disguise.

He cannot stay any longer.

I can only help Shuang Li with some things here, such as investigating and retrieving those two spirit scrolls.

What do the demon race lack?
Aren't those just all sorts of elixirs?

Although the land where the demon race lives can be described as wild and uncivilized compared to the human race's territory, it does indeed contain many special spiritual plants.

Unfortunately, the demon race has no talent in alchemy. In addition, the human race has imposed a blockade on the demon race, so even an ordinary Foundation Establishment stage Spirit Opening Pill can sell for tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Although some cultivators smuggled elixirs and magical artifacts, the quantity was not large, barely enough for the demon race to share one or two.

It seems that those cultivators disregarded the interests of humanity for their own gain.

But in fact, he had heard about something that was generally accepted among the upper echelons of the sects—that people from all the major sects secretly came to the demon race to collect spirit stones.

Because some of the materials produced by the demon race are indeed of high quality, if there is no help from elixirs for a long time, the number of demons at the Golden Core stage or even above will become very small.

This makes some materials extremely difficult to obtain.

After all, some magical artifacts require demon bones and souls, talismans are made from the blood of demons or spirit beasts, and alchemy requires things like brain marrow and bone marrow.

The spirit race members kept within the sect cannot be killed indiscriminately.

Therefore, it is necessary to regularly "feed" the demon race, and those smuggling cultivators are all authorized by the major sects.

Otherwise, with the Heavenly Vein Sword Mountain's blockade of the Southern Region's demon race, those cultivators who wanted to smuggle would be doomed.

Since he had come all this way, Li Ye also planned to make some money.

He would build a small spirit garden here, and then have Shuang Li help him collect various materials for alchemy—actually, he was quite short of money; his recent spree of buying all sorts of spirit plants and spirit beasts had left him with only two million spirit stones. He worried about those two million spirit stones every day.

This is far too little; there's nothing we can do to make it work.

This would allow Shuang Li to use pills to pave the way while simultaneously helping him amass wealth.

While the two types of spirit ants were busy, Li Ye used his not-so-skilled soul-searching technique to carefully search for the remaining soul of the Crimson Fire Serpent.

The result was somewhat unexpected.

Li Ye's expression turned somewhat strange.

This girl knew about Shuang Li's betrayal, and she even witnessed it back in the Huan Tian Domain. She didn't tell anyone and had been lying in ambush, planning to launch a sneak attack on Li Ye.

Because one of her lovers was eliminated by Wei Qingye as a henchman.

That was a Silverfrost Wolf, and I would say it was quite good-looking and very good in some ways.

She was hiding nearby when she saw her little wolf being decapitated by a sword flash, and that's when she started to hold a grudge.

However, she dared not seek revenge against Wei Qingye, so she lay in ambush here every day, waiting for Li Ye to arrive—and the venom she injected was some kind of natal venom.

The purpose was to kill with a single blow.

Let Li Ye experience the pain she has endured.

These are all obsessions within the soul of the Crimson Serpent.

"So I look easier to bully than Wei Qingye?"

This memory left Li Ye speechless. He didn't dare to cause trouble for Wei Qingye, so he ended up camping here every day to watch him.
Speechless, Li Ye also breathed a sigh of relief.

This guy didn't tell anyone else about his plan to take revenge himself, for fear of alerting the enemy...

It always feels weird.

"never mind."

Li Ye shook his head and casually tossed the unburnt soul to the spirit of the calamity fire to burn for fun.

Meanwhile, he himself began to busy himself with getting the bamboo ants and golden ant to work.

soon.

The bamboo ants and golden horned ants then completed the basic construction—a row of alchemy furnaces connected by love songs.

The cave dwelling has also been modified.

A long-distance teleportation array has been set up, and the messy pile of bones and fur has been cleared away, giving the entire cave a brand-new look. Even elegant incense and candles have been lit.

Li Ye nodded in satisfaction: "I have already set up the inside of this alchemy furnace. You just need to put the materials in, and they will automatically be refined into several basic pills."

The Dust-Removing Pill, which suppresses bestiality, the Demon-Removing Pill, which removes demonic energy, as well as the Spirit-Opening Pill, the Bigu Pill... all of these can be refined.

My request to you is that you use these pills to find out information about two books for me. They may have already taken human form, so you need to keep a close eye on them.

"If you can help me obtain these two books, I will help you remove your incorruptible demonic bones and condense a pure golden elixir."

He gave a brief explanation.

As Shuang Li listened to Li Ye's explanation, his eyes filled with tears.

Instead of transforming into human form, this guy clung to Li Ye's leg in his giant wolf form. Through the Love Song, it could be sensed that this guy seemed quite attached to him.

Could it be that they've been trained from wolves into dogs?
"I've told you everything I needed to say."

"It all depends on how you satisfy me."

Li Ye didn't say much. After giving a brief instruction, he returned to the Four Seasons Sect through the spatial array that had already been set up.

Then he went straight to his second senior brother, who had not yet left.

There was no other way; Master and the others weren't around, and it wouldn't be appropriate to go directly to the Sect Leader, so we could only ask our second senior brother for a solution.

You Tianzhen was quite surprised to see Li Ye arrive.

"Junior brother, what brings you here?"

"It must be something important. Please sit down."

"Thank you, senior brother."

After Li Ye sat down and told him what he had learned, the second senior brother's expression turned serious.

"Five-colored flower".

"Actually, my master and I went to the Southern Region to see if the formation could be activated again."

"But unfortunately, the five-colored flower cannot truly mend the heavens; it is still missing something very important."

He stood up and slowly paced around.

“But if what you say is true, then the Heavenly Vein Sword Mountain’s Heavenly Vein Method has this flaw, which makes sense.”

"The Five-Colored Flower probably needs the essence and origin of a person who possesses the Heavenly Vein Body Tempering Method to nourish it, so that it can be offered as a sacrifice to the Heavenly Dao."

The fact that Master Tianzhen was able to handle some of the trivial matters of the Spirit Plant Hall in the sect on behalf of his master indicates that he has extremely high attainments in the field of spirit plants.

Some of these things can be figured out by just a few clues and experience from previous investigations.

"Sacrifice?" Li Ye was taken aback.

"Correct."

"Since you already know, I won't hide it from you. Come with me."

The second senior brother opened a spatial portal, and the two of them entered a grotto-heaven that only a very few people could enter.

As soon as he entered, Li Ye saw that the sky was covered with cracks.

The once clear and vast sky now resembled a shattered piece of porcelain, with its magnificent radiance faintly visible through the dense cracks.

The entire cave was filled with a strange spiritual energy. This energy was disordered and complex, which made Li Ye feel a little short of breath.

"look."

The second senior brother pointed to the sky.

Li Ye looked in the direction he pointed.

You can see that the sky is covered with some five-colored spiritual plants. They are densely packed, with their roots intertwined, and they are forcibly repairing the sky that should have been broken.

[Name]: Five-Colored Flower for Mending the Sky

[Mood]: Complex
[Status]: Using the spiritual power of the fusion of all the earth in the world, it is repairing the shattered sky and the Heavenly Dao within it. Each five-colored flower used for mending the sky is the essence nurtured by the cave heaven.

When the five-colored flower is picked, the grotto will collapse.

[Can be bound]: The spirit nurtured by the five colors of the sky.

Master Tian's expression was helpless and a little tired.

"These five-colored flowers are all nurtured by the sect's grotto-heavens. Only a complete grotto-heaven that can circulate earth, water, wind, and fire has a certain probability of nurturing such spiritual plants."

"When our ancestors first established the order of heaven and earth, they made some mistakes, which led to unknown changes in the world. Therefore, our ancestors took on the responsibility of repairing the world."

"She painstakingly cultivated this five-colored flower, attempting to use the essence of countless grotto heavens to mend the imperfect Heavenly Dao."

The second senior brother sighed softly.

"In order to cultivate these five-colored flowers, although our sect occupies the entire Eastern Region, most of our grotto-heavens have been turned into flower gardens for the five-colored flowers. When the five-colored flowers are picked, the grotto-heavens will also shatter."

"To date, 123,652 grotto-heavens have been lost."

"But only 12,250 five-colored flowers have been successfully cultivated."

This number startled Li Ye.

A cave that possesses the flow of earth, water, wind, and fire is almost no different from a small world; such a cave is a treasure no matter where it is located.

The result was that it shattered just to cultivate the five-colored flower.

So many...

No wonder the Four Seasons Sect is sometimes so domineering; it turns out they have such responsibilities to bear.
