After resolving the issues with the Void Nether Grass and Void Ink Spirit Silkworm, he continued busily without pause.

First, he tested the effects of the standalone silk from the Void Ink Spirit Silkworm.

It was no different from the silk of the Life Ink Silkworm previously; the spatial ability seemed ineffective on it.

This left Li Ye a bit disappointed, as he hoped the silk of the Void Ink Spirit Silkworm, when made into roots, might possess some spatial capabilities.

"I urgently need Water Ink."

"After processing this batch of Spirit Silkworms, my Water Ink storage will be nearly depleted, so I need to find a way to get more."

Although Li Ye had more ideas, the lack of Water Ink rendered them impossible, akin to a skilled housewife unable to cook without rice, so he could only set them aside for now.

...

Later, he purchased some Magical Artifact birds, letting them fly in circles inside the Cave Mansion, carrying the lotus flowers made by the Beavers, and sprinkling the mist of Purple Oil Spring Rain in the areas where the Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts resided.

The Purple Oil Spring Rain reserves were still quite sufficient, and given that he had obtained the method from Li Sui, he could collect a lot in the spring, so he was not stingy with it.

To allow his Spirit Beast and Spirit Plant to flourish, he would never skimp.

Finally, all the gains from this trip were used inside the Cave Mansion.

Senior Sister Jiang's Array Plate, Cloud Treasure, Drunken Light Spirit Clam, Enlightened Gold Ingot, Xiguang Spirit Rice, Sunlight Spirit Water...

The first three were used rather smoothly in the process.

He quickly set up the Array Plate inside the Cave Mansion and then purchased a Spirit Vein Willow to bind with the Array Spirit of the Array Plate.

The Cloud Treasure was also successfully made into clouds floating in mid-air.

The Enlightened Gold Ingot was incorporated into his Lifebound Magical Artifact after being further purified by the Spirit Vein Willow and Golden Horned Ant.

But only the Drunken Light Spirit Clam and Xiguang Rice...

The former could not be awakened.

The change in the latter left Li Ye somewhat speechless—

After planting the rice seed in a patch of spirit soil and watering it with all the Sunlight Spirit Water.

The Xiguang Rice Seed began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then began to split, transforming from a single rice plant into a few hundred plants.

Each plant grew vigorously, and the heavy rice spikes were filled with plump grains easily seen.

It seemed as though it had instantly gone through the entire spring and summer, reaching the harvest season.

Even more magically, it continued to gather the sunlight falling from the Heavenly Dome, transforming it into subtle pale golden Spiritual Water droplets at the roots.

Clearly, that was Sunlight Spirit Water.

Though nowhere near as much as what could be collected at the Ninth Layer's Light-bearing Pool in the Celestial Palace, the speed was much faster, and inversely, it was no less than the speed he previously collected.

Thinking of his previous efforts to collect Sunlight Spirit Water, Li Ye couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly.

If he had known it would condense on its own, he would have focused solely on making Cloud Treasure!

"When you mature, I must taste what you truly taste like!"

He said "viciously," leaving the rice field and flying directly into the sky, standing on the clouds he had collected and made into Cloud Treasure.

The cloud was no more than a plot in size, white and fluffy, standing on it was like standing in a pile of cotton.

Because it was so comfortable, he simply sat down.

Half of his body sank into the soft cloud, stretching out his limbs to relax his body, feeling the slightly cool soft touch, enjoying the wind and mist blowing from afar.

This made him decide to temporarily set aside the rain and snow experiment and have a good rest first.

"Ah, truly comfortable."

"Not to mention, it could be used as a bed, which wouldn't be bad either."

Because these clouds had already been soaked with his Divine Sense and Mana.

So he only needed to think, and he could directly split out a small cloud, letting it reach any position his Divine Sense could cover.

So Li Ye directly used his Divine Sense to control the small piece of cloud he was lying on, splitting it and letting it drift aimlessly along the wind.

The Wen Yaoyu noticed it was almost the only thing flying in the entire Cave Mansion and immediately swarmed around, flapping its wings and circling around the cloud.

At this moment, Li Ye had already relaxed his mind, not thinking about many things, lazily squinting his eyes to enjoy the moment of rest.

The Sun and Moon Ring placed on his wrist suddenly sprang to life.

It spun lightly, swinging the Xiguang Bell above it.

"Ding-ding-ding~"

The soft ringing invited the sunlight falling from the Heavenly Dome, wrapping Li Ye like warm water.

This little guy that had just gained a little spirituality was taking care of its master in its way.

The bell's sound was gentle, the sunlight warm, and with the gentle wind and comfortable clouds, Li Ye soon fell into a deep sleep.

His form within the cloud seemed to merge with wind and light; at this moment, even a cultivator scanning with Divine Sense could not detect his presence.

...

Li Ye was sleeping quite comfortably here.

But on the other side, inside the Steward Hall.

"You say you can't get in touch with Taoist Friend Li?"

The envoy of the Xuan Turtle Race couldn't stay calm.

She looked anxiously at the children carrying turtle shells not far away, sighed, and said, "I know we didn't provide an exact time, but I came as soon as possible.

Taoist Friend Su, you must contact Taoist Friend Li for me!"

Facing her anxiety, Su Yu, though aware of the reason— the Xuan Turtle Race needs to shed their old shells every thirty years to completely rid themselves of turbid qi and embrace new life.
