This Taoist Friend of the Enlightened Race is quite confident.

"Oh."

"What good thing has Taoist Friend brought to convince me?"

Li Ye took the light golden Jade Scroll and glanced at it, his face showing a trace of hesitation.

Inside, it's actually the method for gathering Purple Oil Spring Rain.

It's a Dharma Method that uses the Resentment Qi of Hungry Bones and their desire to fight for life against the heavens.

As he had thought before, Spring Rain inherently possesses special Spiritual Power that can revive everything, and spring planting is a crucial matter; it's also the deepest and most fundamental wish of those spirits within the Hungry Bones.

As long as seeds can be planted, starvation can at least be avoided.

But...

Recalling those uncontrollable Resentment Qi, he sighed softly: "How did Taoist Friend Li acquire this Dharma Method? Can it be used for trading with me?"

"Of course it can," Li Sui replied confidently, "We are guardians in Dongcang Town, and all our earnings can be freely disposed of; this is True Man's special allowance."

Li Ye nodded: "Alright then, this Dharma Method truly tempts me, but the Potato Flood Dragon is currently not very plentiful.

Moreover, it can only provide about ten thousand pounds of Potato Flood Dragon meat each month.

This quantity is my limit."

He directly stated his bottom price.

A single Potato Flood Dragon can provide roughly three thousand pounds of meat, and there are currently five Potato Flood Dragons. Each time the meat is fully stripped from its body, at least a month's rest is needed.

Although it could provide fifteen thousand pounds at most, he definitely wants to keep some back; making no promises always ensures no losses.

"...Ten thousand pounds?" Li Sui showed an obvious expression of disappointment. As part of the Enlightened Race, their daily food intake is really quite substantial.

He has over a thousand tribe members under him.

Ten thousand pounds might be consumed in less than ten days.

"This amount seems too little, if it's only ten thousand pounds, it would only be enough to exchange for about half a pound of Enlightened Gold Ingot."

"Taoist Friend Li, it's rare for us to offer Enlightened Gold Ingot for trade, can't you truly give a bit more?"

Li Ye's face showed an embarrassed expression: "It's not that I don't want to give. Your tribe's Enlightened Gold Ingot is also famously recognized in the Cultivation Realm, but I truly can't give more.

This is a brand-new Spirit Beast, and I don't have many in stock.

So I can only apologize."

Saying this, he cupped his fist respectfully.

"Alas." Hearing Li Ye say this, Li Sui also realized there wasn't more to be said, and could only say, "Then I'll communicate with your sect's Steward Hall to send over the contract later.

I hope when I leave, I can take away a batch of Potato Flood Dragon meat."

"That can be arranged, Taoist Friend, take care."

Li Ye stood up to see Li Sui off, and once the latter's figure vanished, he wearily rubbed his brow.

"Might as well find Senior Brother Su for a drink."

"I wonder if Senior Brother Su has gone to sleep."

...

The time of the end of summer passed in a flash.

During this period, Li Ye spent his days at the Light-bearing Pool gathering Cloud Qi and Sunlight Spirit Water. Initially inexperienced with insufficient Spiritual Power and Divine Sense, he became more adept as time went on.

By the time the end of summer had passed, he had successfully produced over thirty pounds of Cloud Treasure and approximately ten taels of Sunlight Spirit Water.

Cloud Treasure can only be concentrated during this seasonal transition, but Sunlight Spirit Water is something that can be frequently gathered, so he didn't feel much regret.

It's no big deal to frequently come here to gather it.

Over these ten or so days, he collected around fifty thousand Spirit Stones through his external sale of gourd oil and various materials, along with shares from Earth Emotion Feed's monthly earnings and miscellaneous income.

Now he possesses seventy thousand Spirit Stones.

Additionally, there are orders from the Merfolk, Enlightened Race, and Xuan Turtle Race.

After communicating with the Steward Hall of the sect, the Enlightened Race confirmed the Potato Flood Dragon as a new species and has already awarded Merit to Li Ye.

Which he turned around and scattered upon the Jianmu seedlings.

The Xuan Turtle Race seems to have quite a good reputation on the sect's side; when he asked the sect's True Man, the latter assured him it was safe to cooperate with the Xuan Turtle.

This way, Li Ye can confidently accept this order.

This Ninth Layer Celestial Palace journey naturally also comes to an end.

He gathered with his senior brothers and sisters for tea, celebrated, and then everyone went their separate ways back to their residences.

...

Upon returning to his Cave Mansion.

Li Ye felt there was something strange inside the Cave Mansion.

It was silent everywhere, and he didn't see the Beavers who would usually come out immediately to greet him, nor the Wen Yaoyu fish flying around everywhere.

A chill ran through his heart.

When pets are quiet, they must be up to some mischief!

"Could it finally be time they've reached the house-wrecking age."

He immediately went to the stone monument in the Cave Mansion, extended his Divine Sense into it, and rapidly covered the entire Cave Mansion through the monument's amplification.

Eventually, he found their presence by the Spirit Vein Willow.

The area where the Spirit Vein Willow is planted is actually the source of a Third Tier Spirit Vein; although it hasn't merged with the Spirit Vein, its characteristics allow it to continue growing along the Spirit Vein's flow.

Li Ye has left it be, allowing it to grow freely.

Now, its roots have astonishingly covered dozens of acres.

When Li Ye arrived here, what he saw were the beavers rolling amidst the Spirit Vein Willow's roots.

——Multicolored willow branches spread on the surface and shallow underground layers, showing signs of crystallization, and the areas they've passed through, what was once considered firm ground, has turned soft as a swamp.

From afar, the interwoven five hues of willow twigs flow within the grayish swamp, appearing quite beautiful.
