Chapter 259 Li Ye, Worried About Three Spirit Stones
The next thing.

Unexpected, or rather, perfectly reasonable.

When "Guo Mei" learned that Li Ye intended to take her child away and send him to the Four Seasons Sect.

The large iron pot smacked Wen Daoyou on the head a few times, then happily let Li Ye take its child away.

As for its life-giving water, it is actually a kind of spiritual water that flows out of it. It says it will collect it and send it to the Four Seasons Sect.

Wen Daoyou had a bitter face, but also a gentle smile, as if he didn't mind being hit a few times by Guo Mei.

All Li Ye could say was that it was quite fun.

Unexpectedly, the iron pot that was previously somewhat shy suddenly stood up straight. Is it because mothers are strong?

But it probably didn't have a distinction between Yin and Yang before.

It's really strange.

Also, Wen Daoyou really spoils Guomei. He can understand the relationship between a human and a fox, but he never expected that a human and a pot could have such a love.

Is he too superficial to see the beauty of the soul beneath the iron pot's exterior?

In short, no matter what.

Li Ye bid farewell to his friends, but before leaving, he still didn't mention to Wei Qingye the matter of the Heavenly Vein that Wei Qingye had discovered.

It's pointless to talk about this now; let's discuss it later.

The matter here has been mostly resolved, and the Earth Book has been placed deep within the earth to continue restoring the city's ley lines.

After settling these small iron pots and the Tai Sui, he planned to head to Dusu Mountain.

After returning to the clan.

He brought the small iron pot Tai Sui and immediately paid a visit to the Shenxue Zhenren, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Since the autumn harvest food boxes are now managed by Master Shenxue, he naturally has to come to Master Shenxue if he wants to use connections.

After the announcement, there was a short wait.

The real person opened a door for him.

It was a pale blue doorway, shrouded in cold air and snowflakes.

Li Ye stepped inside and arrived at the Divine Snow Cave.

All around was a flurry of snow, thick enough to bury a person.

And growing in this snow is a huge, crystal-clear snow lotus, so large that it takes three or four people to hug it.

Crystal snow lotuses covered the snow-covered ground, standing alone and isolated from the world, stretching into a field of lotus flowers.

Further away lies a majestic, continuous mountain range that stretches to the horizon, resembling a lurking, silver-gray dragon.

From the top of the mountain, the sky seemed to have torn open, pouring down boundless white, cold air as if the sky had collapsed.

The white, frigid air was divided by the towering mountains in the mountain range, turning into huge cold currents, which then turned into snowflakes swept by the wind and blown across the entire Divine Snow Cave.

Look up.

Those cold fronts were like giant dragons, spewing out world-changing spiritual power.

Today, Li Ye was no longer simply shocked like a junior cultivator. His eyes gleamed with the bronze hue of the Jianmu tree as he murmured to himself:
"This is... a winter solar term?"

"Exactly."

A refined voice came from the side, and then a tall silver deer with prominent antlers, as noble and elegant as a crown, appeared in Li Ye's consciousness.

The aura emanating from it was clearly at the Nascent Soul level.

In the innocent yet clear eyes of the deer, there are snowflake-shaped marks.

【Name】：Winter Rain Deer · Beginning of Winter
[Mood]: Anxious
[Status]: Among the seasonal mythical beasts, it is a descendant of the winter mythical beast. It inherits the power of "Beginning of Winter". Wherever it passes, all things are stored away and the temperature drops sharply. It can bring the seasonal power of hibernation to all things.

When it is with its five other brothers and sisters who are also winter mythical beasts, it will transform the surrounding environment, keeping it in perpetual winter.

"Senior is...?"

Li Ye remained polite even when facing a Nascent Soul level spirit beast.

"You can call me Lin Dong."

The silver giant deer gestured for Li Ye to follow it, saying as they walked, "The master is currently discussing the Dao with a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Punishment Hall, and she already knows why you've come."

Since she cannot appear now, and given the clues about the Hell Path you provided, she wants to give you a task.

"Complete this task, and she will give you some benefits."

Mingming was walking very slowly.

But the surrounding snowy scenery moved forward rapidly. One moment they were in a place where countless crystal snow lotuses grew, and the next they were in a lush snow pine forest.

And the moment you enter here.

Li Ye felt his immense magical power and physical strength being suppressed by another force. The wind and snow blowing around him made him feel a bone-chilling cold that he had never experienced since he established his foundation.

His senses remained sharp.

It still helps him clearly observe the scenery within a hundred miles around, but his physical body has become as fragile as that of an ordinary person, even worse than his body when he first transmigrated, which had damaged meridians.

but.

He could sense that the power did not forcibly restrict his strength. As long as he gently poked it, it would bloom again like a bubble, radiating the brilliant immortal light that belonged to cultivators.

Why are you restricting my supernatural powers?

Li Ye silently pulled her clothes tighter.

"Master cultivates the winter solar term from the Solar Terms Song, but have you noticed that cultivators... don't seem to have such a keen perception of the solar terms?"

The silver giant deer lay down silently, gesturing for Li Ye to lean against it. The latter immediately complied and approached the giant deer, its warm and luxurious silver fur shielding him from the surrounding wind and snow.

He gazed at the falling snowflakes before him, with the warm body of a deer behind him, and silently stretched out his hand, watching the snowflakes melt into his palm.

It gave him an indescribable, surreal sense of comfort.

To be honest, after advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage, his understanding of the solar terms seemed to consist only of different celestial phenomena. After reaching the Golden Core stage, he regarded them as a kind of celestial phenomenon that could be reproduced.

A means of cultivating more objects.

It's true that I no longer feel the same way as when I was practicing Qi Refining.

After all, it's a solar term.

It's only of great use to ordinary people.

He once thought there was nothing wrong with this approach; wasn't the path of cultivation simply about comprehending the myriad phenomena of the world and then acquiring that power for oneself?

He now realizes that it is quite troublesome for cultivators, with their extraordinary strength, to fully perceive the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth. For example, the current wind and snow are something that cultivators can never fully comprehend.

No wonder some cultivators suppress their magical power to refine their hearts in the mortal world.

This immense supernatural power is both a source of strength and a constraint.

The silver giant deer had no idea that Li Ye had thought of so many things just by watching the snowflakes melt in his palm.

Seeing that Li Ye remained silent, it continued, "The master intends to teach you the winter chapter of the Seasonal Song, so you must spend this winter as a mortal."

Don't worry about Du Sushan.

That area... is already sealed off.

"What?" Li Ye suddenly came to his senses and exclaimed in surprise, "Dusu Mountain is closed?"

"This matter still stems from you." The silver giant deer's voice was very refined and gentle, like a scholar slowly explaining: The spatial location of the Hell Path is not in the mortal world, so as not to give them any possibility of escape.

The Nascent Soul cultivator inside the gate decided to use the Mountain of Transformation to nail down the space of the Hell Path, and then directly use the power of the Jianmu tree to completely shatter it.

As for the beings in the Hell Realm, they will be buried in the Breath Soil, and you will be responsible for processing them, turning them into grotto-heavens as trial grounds.”

Li Ye fell silent.

He never expected it to end like this.

He had initially thought that a Nascent Soul cultivator would lead the team into the Hell Path, but he hadn't expected to shatter it directly. Then he reconsidered.

That seems to be normal.

They're just rats in a hole; once their hiding place is discovered, they'll no longer be able to disgust people.

"It's a pity I didn't get to witness this scene in person."

Li Ye sighed slightly.

The silver giant stag slowly rose, taking away the warmth that shielded it from the wind and snow; its voice was muffled and indistinct amidst the sound of the wind and snow.
"That's not necessarily the case."

"But you need to resolve the matter here first."

"Many spirits live in this snow forest. They sell interesting treasures that can help you get through the winter."

"Remember, from now on, you can no longer use your previous spirit stones; you'll have to earn them little by little."

"The spiritual energy you cultivate each day will restore your cultivation level, so... try your best to get through this winter."

It left after it finished speaking.

It completely disappeared into the wind and snow.

It took away the warmth.

Li Ye silently tightened his Taoist robe. Fortunately, the robe had basic protective and dust-repelling runes, otherwise he might have gotten sick from the cold.

Following the divine sense, I continued forward.

Soon he came to a courtyard half-buried in the snow. As he pushed open the somewhat dilapidated door, which creaked softly, the entire courtyard was revealed to him.

It is about four or five acres in size.

Snow was piled on the ground, and some trellises for vines to grow could be vaguely seen, as well as an ancient well shaped like a Bagua (Eight Trigrams). Further away was a dilapidated mansion.

It's clear that it was originally quite good; at least the materials used were top-quality red sandalwood, and you can still faintly smell a delicate fragrance.

Compared to Li Ye's Xiangshui residence and his original courtyard, it was like heaven and earth.

However, Li Ye wouldn't mind.

He's been to many good places, and also some terrible ones.

He has a magnificent and dazzling palace in his heart, so he will no longer be troubled by external things.

Moreover, he felt a rare sense of excitement at that moment—he knew that repairing this abandoned courtyard would be very rewarding.

However, can magic power and physical body withstand it?
As he pondered how to repair the house, he heard some familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar, high-pitched "chirping" sounds coming from outside.

He scanned it with his divine sense.

"Oh?"

He immediately left the house with great interest.

In the snow, I saw some brown squirrels with bushy tails, silver-gray stripes on their bodies, and pine cone-shaped bundles on their backs.

Their eyes gleamed with a unique spiritual light characteristic of the Spirit Race.

【Name】: Snow Spirit Silver Chipmunk.

[Mood]: Hesitant, tentative

[Status]: One of the spirit races living in the Divine Snow Cave. They possess intelligence no less than that of humans and are accustomed to exchanging their skills for rewards. The "pine cone package" that they are born with is a spatial treasure.

The brown squirrel that was in the lead approached Li Ye, bowed slightly, and then took out a trumpet-shaped flower from its pack.

When placed near its mouth, its chirping sound instantly transformed into a spirited male voice:
"Immortal."

"My name is Yin Cong."

"We can help you repair this house. It only costs three spirit stones, and we can fix it with just three spirit stones!"

Seemingly to prove its strength, it waved its hand again, and immediately several squirrels took out various tools from the package. After some processing, they created an exquisite carved dental chair.

It seems to be even more exquisite than what beavers make.

Li Ye was immediately tempted.

If these little guys can help me handle things, it will indeed save me a lot of trouble. After losing my magic power and physical strength, I would probably become weak if I kept doing things.

Especially the need to repair the roof amidst heavy snowfall...

But the problem is.

Three spirit stones!
He is now penniless, as the senior Lu had explicitly told him not to use his "savings".

Unexpectedly, he would be troubled by three spirit stones.

I truly experienced the predicament of being penniless.

"I don't have any spirit stones."

He simply shrugged and said, "I don't have a single spirit stone. Why don't you tell me how I can earn spirit stones?"

Squirrel Silver Cong: "..."

I'm here to earn spirit stones, not to teach you how to earn them!
It squinted its little eyes and pondered for a while before finally speaking, "You are an immortal from the Four Seasons Sect, you should know how to farm, right?"

"Of course." Li Ye nodded.

"That's right."

Yin Cong rummaged through his bag and took out a silver pine cone, handing it to Li Ye: "I took this from a thousand-year-old silver birch pine deep in the spiritual land."

"If you, Immortal, can revive it and allow it to bear fruit, I can help you sell the fruit, and you'll easily obtain large sums of spirit stones!"

It became more and more excited as it spoke, and its fluffy tail stood up straight.

It sounds pretty good.

However, Li Ye only has a little bit of magical power left, and he cannot use many exquisite spells, so he really doesn't dare to take on too much responsibility.

Instead, he carefully accepted the pine cone.

"Let me see first."

Holding the pine cone in your hand, you feel the unique warm texture of wood, and there are wisps of pure spiritual energy emanating from it. There are also silvery resins and pine nuts between the pine cones.

[Name]: Silver Birch and Pine Pagoda

[Mood]: Complex, extremely bad.

[Status]: Pine cones growing from the lowest layer of the mother plant, the "Heavy Snow" layer, will be in a semi-dormant state due to the special spiritual power of the Heavy Snow solar term. They will be unable to react to the spiritual power in time and will be unable to sprout and grow.

[Can be bound]: Any spirit beast related to "Great Cold".

Oh?
Li Ye narrowed his eyes.

After pretending to carefully perceive and study it, he said, "This thing probably originated in the heavy snow. This solar term belongs to the dormant period of agricultural activities in winter."

No wonder it goes into hibernation.

But it doesn't matter, I have a method that I can still use even though my magic power is not currently apparent.

However, it requires a spirit beast born during the coldest period of winter.

Today, he no longer needs to worry about the risk of his cheat ability being exposed—the entire sect and even the cultivation world know that he has a wonderful method for cultivating spirit beasts and spirit plants.

Moreover, it is his talent that he showed since his humble beginnings, which can be traced back to the earliest Silver Moon Grass mission. Along the way, he has already built a tall building.

Given his current status and contributions, no one will press him for answers, or even inquire about the origin of this method.

Li Ye gazed at the wind and snow outside the house.

He felt a rare surge of excitement—what changes would occur after the binding was complete, and when would he be able to earn his three spirit stones?

This is about whether I can get a good night's sleep in a warm bed.

In winter, being able to hide indoors and get a good night's sleep is truly the most comfortable thing to do.
