Chapter 300 Various Transactions, Cizhu's Request

Turbid pulse.

This is still an extremely stable turbid pulse.

Although it is far smaller than the turbid vein he once punctured, it is here, just like a spiritual vein, flowing continuously.

"Then you can take care of it."

"Cleansing away impurities is one of your talents."

"Remember, all its life force must be channeled into your fruit to ensure that these dragon eggs hatch perfectly."

Li Ye withdrew his divine sense, reached out and touched the fruit of the Kan Shui yam, making no attempt to hide his anticipation: "This might be the Azure Dragon."

Moreover, it was such a perfect Azure Dragon; he had a premonition that once it hatched, it would definitely be able to help him.

His solemn attitude made Xuan Shuilong, who already cared a lot about his offspring, immediately nod solemnly.

He immediately decided not to leave until the fruit hatched, and he wouldn't even go back to his hometown via Weichuan. He would stay here wholeheartedly.

Seeing how attentive it was, Li Ye left with peace of mind.

There are still many people waiting for him on the island, and he also needs to arrange accommodations for the dragons who come here. Running a force is always difficult at the beginning, but once everything is on track, he can become a hands-off manager.

……

He arrived on the island quickly.

The dragons, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately surrounded them.

The leader was a young dragon who had just reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but was one of Ao Kong's direct descendants.

This dragon was dressed in a silver robe and was so handsome that he looked like a statue, but he lacked a human touch.

Although he was a Nascent Soul cultivator, he was very approachable.

After flashing a smile at Li Ye, he directly stated his request:

"Brother Li."

"Could you perhaps grant us a vast expanse of sea?"

"We will build a crystal palace formation on the seabed, which will also help you take care of the marine life."

Li Ye nodded: "Okay."

"I have just acquired this 100,000-mile sea area and have no prior experience in managing it. If you seniors are willing to help me explore the sea area, I would be extremely grateful."

A rather tall and spirited female dragon cultivator readily agreed:

"This is easy to handle."

"Leave it to me."

"I will compile a report on the situation in the sea area in ten days and give it to you!"

talking.

The woman transformed directly into a slightly slender silver dragon amidst the clouds, roared excitedly, and flew towards the sea.

Honestly.

It doesn't look like a dragon, but more like a child who has been holding back for a long time and can finally let loose.

The silver-robed youth smiled awkwardly: "Brother Li, please don't be offended. There is really no place in the Suspended Sea Cave Heaven where we can roam freely like this. For us Nascent Soul Dragons, we can only move within a thousand miles of sea."

A thousand miles away...

For us, it was already the end before we even started swimming.

Unfortunately, the vast sea areas were occupied by the elders, and they could not trespass at will.

So, given this rare opportunity to swim freely, it's no wonder my little sister is a bit lively.

Hear the words.

Li Ye revealed a curious expression:

"I've heard that the Suspended Sea Cave Heaven is one of the largest blessed lands in the world, with a depth equivalent to the four seas. Why have you only been given a thousand miles of sea area?"

The silver-robed youth smiled wryly: "That's not exactly a secret. There's a special spiritual plant in the Suspended Sea Cave that requires an extremely vast sea area to grow."

Therefore, the vast majority of that cave was used to grow this plant.

As a result, the place where we live has to be rather cramped.

Here it is.

He took out a rather peculiar spiritual fruit.

This spiritual fruit... its stem and body are perfectly integrated, tightly intertwined, like yin and yang fish connected head to tail, its whole body is bluish-green, the peel is crystal clear, and you can see the plump flesh inside.

The essence of Taiyin is so abundant it's overflowing.

It exudes a cool fragrance, and just smelling it makes even Li Ye's avatar feel somewhat dazed.

This thing...

This is clearly no ordinary treasure.

[Name]: Xiapin Jiaoli
Mood: None

[Status]: A spiritual fruit nurtured by the essence of Yin and the spirit of kidney water, capable of harmonizing Yin and Yang, and can prolong life after consumption.

The effect is even better if taken with jujubes.

[Can be bound]: Pure Sun Spirit.

Li Ye's eyes widened.

It was actually a pear!
It is well known that the pear and the jujube are famous and precious celestial treasures. It is said that if the two are taken together, one can even ascend to heaven in broad daylight—although this is an exaggeration, it is enough to prove the wonder of these things.

I never imagined that the Suspended Sea Cave was cultivating such a treasure.

No wonder even the mighty Nascent Soul Dragon Clan pitifully huddled in the vast ocean. Compared to this kind of spiritual treasure, it's indeed... a little bit of hardship is acceptable.

but.

A pure spirit of the sun?
"..."

Li Ye recalled the fruits that Ruomu, in which he had transformed, was nurturing. After a moment's hesitation, he tentatively asked:

"Could you sell me a rootstock of this plant? I'm quite curious about it and would like to study it."

The other party seemed to have anticipated this.

He said with some difficulty, "I can make the decision if you get a fruit, since I get one every thousand years, but the decision on the complete root system is up to Grandpa."

We also need to obtain... the approval of Master Xia Hui of your esteemed sect.

"..."

That's troublesome.

Since another Nascent Soul cultivator was involved, Li Ye could only try to contact the sect to see what to do.

"However, I still want to thank you, fellow Daoist."

Although he didn't get the rootstock, he still politely thanked the other party and then discussed some miscellaneous matters in detail.

soon.

The silver-robed youth then happily led his clan away.

But Li Ye couldn't stay idle.

He immediately turned around and went to the main hall where guests were to be received.

at this time.

Several people were already waiting in the main hall; they were all familiar faces, including Wei Qingye, Lü Qingge, Duan Jiurui, and Cizhu Buddhist Disciple…

Li Ye took a deep breath.

He cupped his hands and said:

"Sorry for the long wait!"

Wei Qingye was the first to speak: "Not long, not long. Brother Li, you mustn't go back on your promise to me now!"

Regardless of what others do, he swallowed his pride and secured a spot first, so as to avoid the constant nagging from those inside.

—Actually, Li Ye only chatted with him for a few minutes, but regardless of the relationship between the Four Seasons Sect and the Heavenly Vein Sword Mountain, or the relationship between the two of them, Li Ye would never refuse.

So Li Ye readily accepted the situation:

"nature."

“I have already arranged for a training ground to be built for your sect, which can accommodate three hundred disciples and will be protected by the Ruomu Night Curtain, which is of the Ruoxian Pavilion level. What do you think?” Wei Qingye immediately beamed with joy.

"Good good!"

"How much spirit stones will it cost per year?"

For a place of this level, which is unique, provides spiritual veins, everything needed for cultivation, and even the location of Ruomu Nightfall, the sect's bottom price for him is 60 million spirit stones per year.

The main reason he brought this up now is to set the foundation for Li Ye's future price—if it's less than his price, then it's best not to even mention it.

"Then let's make it 20 million spirit stones a year."

Li Ye stated the price.

This price is comparable to the previous price; it's practically like doing charity—the previous price was 100,000 spirit stones per person per day.

The reason for this pricing is related to the sect, and besides, the other party clearly intends to stay long-term, and all kinds of expenses will be in Ruoquan Island, plus it can also build some goodwill.

For these major sects, personal connections are far more valuable than spirit stone transactions. When Li Ye hands over these favors to the sect, he can gain merit in return. Why not?

But Wei Qingye frowned deeply.

He hesitated and said, "Twenty million spirit stones a year. Although we have a good relationship, I can't let you do a losing business."

Then he waved his hand and said, "Fifty million spirit stones a year, don't say any more, I can't let you lose money."

Li Ye: “…”

Actually, you really won't lose money.

Those spiritual veins and various materials all go through the sect's internal channels. Items that are extremely expensive outside are actually quite cheap within the Four Seasons Sect.

Moreover, the main selling point of Ruoquan Island is its nighttime scenery.

This thing doesn't need spirit stones at all—or rather, as long as Li Ye is well-fed and watered, he doesn't need much else.

at this time.

Duan Jiurui, standing to the side, chimed in:

"Brother Wei has finally said something sensible. Fifty million spirit stones is indeed the most we can offer, after all, this is the Daoist temple of True Person Lingye of the Lingfan Hall of the Four Seasons Sect."

As soon as she said that, Li Ye instantly understood what she meant.

He had been focusing on the cost, but he forgot about the most crucial factor: his reputation.

As the saying goes, a mountain is famous not because of its height but because of the immortals dwelling there, and water is sacred not because of its depth but because of the dragons residing within.

Lingye Zhenren of the Four Seasons Sect lives a secluded life, completely unaware that he has long been famous outside. Many cultivators would be willing to pay a high price to live in his dojo.

Or rather, a high price is the norm.

For most cultivators, being fortunate enough to meet him would be considered a stroke of good fortune.

"Then let's make it fifty million spirit stones a year."

Li Ye simply addressed the cultivators directly: "I treat everyone equally. If anyone wants to rent a dojo, the price is 50 million spirit stones per year."

If you all find this price acceptable, then sign a contract with me, and then discuss the specific layout and decorations with Li Shisan in detail.

of course.

Some additional benefits are naturally given privately, such as relatively better materials, more convenient services, etc. - these are naturally not suitable to be mentioned in public.

After all, those present were all from prestigious families, and it would be easy to offend them if I said it out loud.

"it is good."

"Brother Li is straightforward!"

"Let's sign the contract now."

Most of the people present came for this reason, and immediately signed a contract with Li Ye, with the word "long-term" written in the "years" column.

In other words, they intend to lease it like this long-term.

They even paid ten years' rent on the spot.

Hmm, that's a rather large number, enough for Li Ye to upgrade the Dragon Transformation Pool again.

And after the contract is signed.

One by one, the crowd left, leaving only Cizhu Buddhist nun sitting in the same spot.

When only the two of them were left.

Cizhu clasped her hands together in prayer.

“Benefactor Li.”

"When will the first batch of grain be delivered to me? If the grain is insufficient, you can trade me the scales of the potato dragon from before."

—Sixteen years have passed in order for the Dragon Transformation Pool and the spirit beasts and plants to transform into dragons.

This is enough time for an infant to grow into a teenager, for a young adult to shoulder the burden of the family and become middle-aged, and even for some elderly people to pass away.

"..."

Li Ye rarely showed a hint of apology.

"This is an oversight on my part."

"But don't worry, fellow Daoist, I have already prepared the food."

"Here."

He spread his palms.

Floating in his palm was a sphere surrounded by the Four Seasons Treasure Pattern. This was a special spatial divine power of the Four Seasons Sect, which required mastery of some spatial power to use. Li Ye was only able to use it with the help of the Jianmu tree.

Inside, you can see mountains of various vegetables, fruits, and grains.

It has almost everything.

These grains all originated from the Worry-Free Granary in Dongcang Town. To this day, every year at harvest time, someone delivers grain to the granary, and a portion of it is delivered to Li Ye through the granary's connections.

That's why Li Ye dared to agree to Cizhu's deal.

Even so, he hasn't started cultivating grain on a large scale yet. However, with the sea at his disposal, cultivating grain in water is a piece of cake for the Four Seasons Sect, so it's naturally not difficult.

"..." Ci Zhu's expression froze. He glanced at the mountain of grain piled up inside the pearl and sighed softly, "Benefactor Li, could you give me some more potato dragon scale powder?"

He brought it up now on purpose because he wanted the potato dragon's scale powder!

“That might not work.” Li Ye shook his head: “The sect has already sent me a message that this item cannot be distributed without permission.”

Cizhu's expression immediately turned dejected.

However, in an instant, he realized that this matter was ultimately impossible. The Four Seasons Sect reacted very quickly, and it was certain that this item could not be passed on before all internal needs were met.

Then.

Could he transform the yam dragon into a dragon through the dragon-transforming pool in the temple?

The thought echoed in my mind.

Even if he didn't bring it up, the abbot and other monks in the temple must already know what's happening.

Perhaps the sect is already experimenting with introducing the Potato Dragon and transforming it into a dragon.

I just don't know about the Four Seasons Sect...

As he was thinking, he suddenly heard Li Ye speak: "Buddha, even if the Potato Dragon spreads outside, it can only spread within a few sects of our Daoist sect. The Bitter Journey Academy has written many times, willing to exchange some treasures, but the sect has refused them all."

Our relationship is nothing more than a normal transaction. I can accept your willingness to give and receive. It's best for you, Buddhist disciple, not to think about anything unnecessary.

For our sake, I'm willing to give you some other treasures. I've heard that your temple is struggling with what kind of paper to use to copy Buddhist scriptures, and I do have some ideas.

"I wonder if the Buddhist disciple would be willing to cooperate with me?"

Li Ye had no choice but to speak frankly.

To prevent Cizhu from having any wild thoughts, although Buddhism has precepts, some monks seek enlightenment based solely on their own nature and are willing to give everything for the temple.

They even misinterpreted the saying "If I don't go to hell, who will?"

He really didn't want things to end badly, but he also couldn't afford to damage their relationship too much, especially since the sect had given their instructions.

Therefore, they could only use the paper that was intended for testing to tempt Cizhu.

If papermaking technology could be successfully researched and a result obtained.

That's more than just achievements.
