Chapter 301 The Idea of ​​Papermaking, An Old Friend Arrives
Paper?
Cizhu was taken aback by Li Ye's abrupt change of topic and paused for a moment: "If we're talking about the paper in this world, which is all produced by the Bitter Journey Academy and is considered the best, then is Benefactor Li so confident that he can make paper that is better than theirs?"

Copying scriptures is very important in Buddhism.

Not only can one delve deeper into the profound meaning of Buddhist scriptures during the copying process, but one can also infuse one's own Buddhist power and principles into them, transforming the scriptures into a power that one can easily control.

Every monk at Kongxiang Temple has to transcribe Buddhist scriptures every day.

This is especially true for Cizhu.

If one wants to attain enlightenment, one must have one's own scriptures, even if it is only a passage—without one's own scriptures, one cannot even attain the Arhatship.

Suitable paper, which can serve as a medium for writing, is naturally of extremely high value.

Take, for example, the “lotus heart paper” that Buddhist temples purchase at the Kulu Academy. Every year, the consumption is astronomical, and due to the limited production, they have to use the inferior “lotus fragrance paper”.

Li Ye chuckled: "Fellow Daoist, you know that Lotus Heart Paper is mass-produced, but I can guarantee that every single sheet will be perfectly compatible with your Buddhist power. What do you say?"

Cizhu looked directly into the eyes of Li Ye's avatar and asked, "Does Benefactor Li mean to use my Buddhist power to help you cultivate and make paper for spiritual plants?"

This method isn't uncommon.

This is indeed not uncommon.

The Bitter Journey Academy has a plot of land specifically used to cultivate the Myriad Bamboo Forest, which is irrigated with unique magical power.

Each bamboo stalk there is cared for from birth to being made into paper by a dedicated person, and the spiritual energy it absorbs is provided by specific cultivators who have paid a high price to send their own magical power into it.

The price of this kind of "custom-made" paper is outrageously high. Each bamboo stalk costs more than ten million spirit stones and can be made into a hundred sheets of paper.

It's equivalent to 100,000 spirit stones for a single sheet of paper.

This price is so high that even some Golden Elixir cultivators can't afford it.

After all, whose scriptures don't consist of thousands upon thousands of pages when copied?

"That's not it." Li Ye knew that this guy was referring to the paper produced by the "Heavenly Book Bamboo Garden" near the Bitter Journey Academy.

To be honest, the premium on that stuff is really high. The Four Seasons Sect has already done research on it. Even if it's custom-made, cultivating a custom-made Wan Chen Bamboo would only cost a few tens to a million spirit stones.

But as it turns out, they sell them for tens of millions of spirit stones each.

It's hard to say exactly how much of that premium comes from fame and hype—in a sense, it's similar to the situation at Ruoquan Island.

Li Ye said casually, "What I'm selling is a special kind of paper that originated from chaos, has no inclination towards spiritual power, and can be imbued with all kinds of magical power."

That's all I can say.

Chaotic growth?

Cizhu opened her eyes slightly wider.

If it is a spiritual plant that grows in chaos, it is indeed possible that it can adapt to everything without any magical watering.

It is a truly pure and flawless "blank sheet of paper," it's all about how you draw on it.

For a monk like him who wanted to write his own scriptures, this was an immense temptation.

I've only heard that spiritual plants that grow in chaos possess an unpredictable uncertainty that cannot be managed—this Spirit Leaf True Person is actually able to manage chaos? And how much would it cost to make paper from spiritual plants that grow in chaos?

He silently calculated the spirit stones and treasures he could still afford, and cautiously asked, "Benefactor Li, how many spirit stones does a piece of paper cost?"

Li Ye didn't expect him to be so direct.

Papermaking is still in the idea and testing stage, so he cannot give a precise answer—too much or too little is not appropriate.

So he simply smiled mysteriously and said, "I'll keep that a secret for now. Perhaps we'll hold an auction to auction it off. I'll send you an invitation then."

Cizhu's heart skipped a beat.

auctions.

That means the price of this "Chaotic Spirit Paper" must be unimaginably high.

then.

The Buddhist disciple sighed softly.

He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment.

When she looked up again, her eyes were clear and bright.

He said solemnly, "Then this humble monk will go and prepare, awaiting your invitation."

Done.

He then took his leave.

Li Ye watched his departing figure with some confusion.

What is this guy thinking?
I don’t think I mentioned a very high price, so why is it like I’m going to drain him dry?
……

at this time.

In the outside world.

In the sweltering heat of summer, the Four Seasons Sect suddenly sent word throughout the land, and wherever the sect's influence extended, the news reached.

We need to recruit a disciple for Master Lingye.

After becoming a disciple, one will be able to learn the most authentic supernatural powers and spells taught by the Floating Sea Dragon Clan.

As soon as this news came out.

It's enough to say that the entire Dao Fan Realm was shaken.

It seems like the last time the Four Seasons Sect recruited disciples in this way was more than two hundred years ago, right?
That exceptionally talented Golden Core cultivator attained the Nascent Soul stage in just one hundred years. Then, he led his disciples, who had learned formations and weapon crafting, on a celestial ship to spread the legacy of the Four Seasons Sect.

Now they're actually opening the mountain gates again.

Moreover, it was given to the legendary Lingye Zhenren, whose deeds had been widely circulated throughout the Dao Fan Realm even before Li Ye knew it.

The father of the Potato Dragon, the cultivator of all sorts of novel materials, the pioneer of the Heavenly Vein Sword Mountain's Land of No Life, an expert in raising spirit beasts, a powerful cultivator who cares for mortals, and the savior of small worlds...

Although some of these stories were only made within the Four Seasons Sect, it did not prevent storytellers who were specifically responsible for this matter from spreading them to various parts of the Dao Fan world after further processing.

However, he always kept to himself and only interacted with acquaintances, so no one mentioned this matter to him.

In short.

Although Li Ye did not leave home, he was already well-known.

As soon as the news spread, many cultivators flocked to the Four Seasons Sect, including some disciples from relatively small sects and families in the Eastern Region and other four regions outside the Eastern Region.

For a moment, even the spatial array leading to the Eastern Region became somewhat crowded.

Among them were two rather special monks.

One male and one female.

The man was a teenager who looked like he was not yet an adult.

He wore a white robe whiter than snow and held tightly the hand of the girl beside him, who wore a colorful robe as beautiful as phoenix feathers.

Why are you so nervous?

The girl, Fu Yue, whose body had been reshaped by Shenxue Zhenren using immense power and phoenix blood essence, glared at Fu Ye.

"Are you afraid others won't know we're abnormal?"

Fu Ye didn't dare to utter a sound.

Having stayed in the Sui Ke Realm for so long, he had never seen such a cultivation world before, and he didn't even know how to enter the teleportation hall.

Even though he was once a chosen one favored by the world, he truly felt the gap between worlds at this moment.

but.

Fortunately, he also has a childhood sweetheart who is always very impulsive.

Fu Yue, pouting, grabbed Fu Ye's hand and called out to a young man not far away, "Fellow Daoist, are you also going to the Eastern Yang Sea? How about we travel together?" The young man turned around upon hearing this.

Curious, he asked, "I come from the Southern Region. Where do you two fellow Daoists come from?"

—The young man was dressed in a very simple manner, and even had a safety buckle made of rice woven at his waist. He looked like he had just come back from harvesting rice in the field.

However, he faintly emanated sunlight and a peculiar rice scent.

Somehow.

Fu Yue and Fu Ye sensed a familiar spiritual energy.

The former asked bluntly, "Fellow Daoist, do you know, or have met, True Person Li Ye?"

"Ok?"

Jianhe, a young man from Xiguang Village, was slightly taken aback.

"I have seen."

He said in surprise, "The auras of the two fellow Daoists are rather strange; they don't seem to be from this world."

Jianhe grew up in Xiguang Village, listening to the legends of Li Ye and under the protection of Jianmu. He was exceptionally sensitive to auras—he originally thought he would stay in the village forever and live a peaceful life.

But a while ago, the village chief suddenly approached them and spread the news that Li Ye wanted to recruit subordinates, which made the village boys excited.

More than a decade has passed since Li Ye liberated Xiguang Village.

Those children have grown into old people, and they continue to tell the children about what Li Ye did.

This led to Li Ye being seen as almost like a god in the eyes of the children of Xiguang Village.

Now that they are qualified to serve the "immortals and gods," they have truly gone to great lengths to select only one person from hundreds of people who has inherited all the traditions of Xiguang Village.

That is, Jianhe.

Finally, he took a branch of the Jianmu tree and left the village to go outside and pass the Four Seasons Sect's assessment to work under Li Ye.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving in the Eastern Region, I encountered two other somewhat abnormal people who were very similar to myself.

When Fu Yue heard Jian He say this, she relaxed and said quite naturally, "That's quite a coincidence. A Ye and I both came from the Sui Ke Realm. It was Master Li Ye who saved us."

We've been cultivating in a secret place for a while now, and only came here after receiving news of our arrival. However, we don't know much about this place, which is why we took the initiative to invite you to travel with us.

As soon as those words were spoken...

Jianhe's expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

He scratched his head awkwardly: "But I just came from the village and don't know much about this place. To be honest, I'm also struggling with which spatial array to take."

The three of them then looked at each other in bewilderment.

Among them were chosen ones from smaller worlds, and farm boys who had just entered the cultivation world from isolated villages. It was difficult to expect them to immediately understand the vast yet intricate rules of the Four Seasons Sect.

So the three of them simply chose...

Go with the flow.

All three of them were sharp of hearing and sight.

Listening to the people around him talking about how Lingye Zhenren's subordinates should behave, he silently followed behind and stepped onto the spatial array.

however.

Although the place they came from was the core area of ​​the Four Seasons Sect, it was precisely because it was the core area that there were so many people that even though the Four Seasons Sect had made preparations, they still couldn't escape the fate of not being able to reach it directly.

Thus, the three of them had to go through two or three terrifying experiences of switching space formations—from Formation No. 3 at 4 o'clock to Formation No. 7 at the Eastern Pole, and then through Formation No. 7 to enter Formation No. 2 at the Eastern Pole Market...

During this time, because he didn't quite understand how the Four Seasons Sect's teleportation array worked, he almost ended up in Dongcang Town.

The three of them stepped out of the teleportation hall.

When they saw the blue sea and sky in front of them, their expressions turned sour.

Those exquisite and magnificent teleportation halls, representing the majesty of the Four Seasons Sect, were like a maze, and even now, the gentle voice of the array spirit still echoes in my ears—

"Please proceed to Space Array No. 323 for teleportation."

"Please do not use any spells or supernatural abilities within the spatial array."

"The teleportation array is currently open for free, but if you need to teleport repeatedly, you will need to purchase a teleportation array talisman to enter the space palace again."

"Due to the current number of people being teleported exceeding the array's threshold, please re-enter the array in half an hour..."

The thought of teleporting back and forth only to find themselves back at the starting point made all three of them look utterly pale.

"But thankfully we arrived."

"Next, all that's left is to head to the assessment point outside Ruoquan Island."

Jianhe looked ahead and saw that after leaving the teleportation hall, the cultivators took out their flying artifacts and flew into the sky.

"Uh." Jianhe rummaged through his magical artifacts and then took out a cup: "Gentlemen, this is a flying magical artifact that I crafted. If you don't mind, you can squeeze in with me."

Fu Ye and Fu Yue, who had originally planned to transform into phoenixes, immediately nodded: "Of course we don't mind."

talking.

Jianhe gently tossed the ritual implement aside.

A flash of blue light swept past, instantly sucking the three of them in. Then, the cup slowly rose into the air, streaking across the sky before flying towards the sea.

The speed is not slow.

However, this cup is rather strange.

As it flew, it scattered countless streams of light, which fell evenly onto the sea surface, leaving behind continuous bands of light.

Such a peculiar magical artifact naturally attracted the attention of those around it, although cultivators wouldn't so casually stop and discuss it.

But the curious glances they received made the three people inside the cups uneasy.

"..."

Sitting amidst the cups, protecting Qingmei, Fu Ye hesitated for a long time before finally speaking:
"Haha, this magical artifact is truly peculiar."

"Hehe." Jianhe laughed awkwardly, "This magical artifact is used in the village to irrigate the fields. It is made from the branches of the Jianmu tree and has a large interior space."

It wouldn't be bad as a flying magical artifact either.

He was about to say a few more words about Xiguang Village to ease the awkwardness when suddenly the flying artifact plunged into the sea.

then……

The surrounding stable spatial structure began to leak water.

It began to absorb seawater at a speed visible to the naked eye, and no one knew what kind of spiritual power it desperately needed was in the seawater, but it absorbed a great deal of seawater.

Jianhe: "!!!"

He tried to control the magical artifact, but it went berserk, swallowing seawater. In the urgency of the situation, he didn't even notice that some flowing halos within the seawater had been drawn into the cup.

Just when it was about to submerge the space inside the cup.

Fu Ye could no longer bear it. In an instant, his body transformed into a dazzling and magnificent phoenix. He used his tail feathers to lift the two of them away from the cup and then flew away into the distance.

The cultivators who had originally intended to help looked at the soaring phoenix in bewilderment, almost thinking they were seeing things.

It should be noted that even in the Dao Fan Realm, the phoenix is ​​an extremely rare divine beast.

They were amazed by the phoenix's magnificence and purity.

But then I suddenly remembered something—

The direction it flew... seemed to be towards Ruoquan Island.

Even mythical beasts want to compete with me for a spot?
