According to the sect's teachings, Qi Fortune signifies the favor of this land and heavens to a certain extent.

Isn't it that since Qi Fortune drives me to act this way, the heavens also desire such changes?

Although it was by chance, I proved a path that should work.

However, I do not know how to proceed on this path, nor how to share this inspiration with my uncles, and this requires the uncles to put some thought and effort."

He cupped his hands towards the True Men, and the last part he said with justifiable confidence, as he had only just reached Foundation Establishment and was not supposed to take on too much responsibility yet.

Naturally, he threw the issue back to the True Men to see how they would respond.

This time, the True Men's silence lasted even longer.

Eventually, the slightly plump True Man spoke, "We will consult with the Senior Brothers and Sisters about this matter."

"What Nephew Li mentioned is indeed of use to us."

"This time, we have troubled Nephew Li, please make sure to accept these things, they are just a small token of our appreciation."

Each of them took out a jade box and pushed it in front of Li Ye.

Li Ye did not hesitate or refuse.

He directly collected all the jade boxes and nodded, saying, "Then I won't stand on ceremony."

"This is what you deserve."

The True Men sent Li Ye off and then returned to the palace to sit down, exchanging glances.

"Nephew Li is really clever, he seems to have said a lot, but did not actually mention anything controversial."

"That's a good thing, after all, we were somewhat abrupt this time."

"But what Nephew Li said indeed makes some sense, you all have seen the changes at the East Pole Marketplace, how can one act as freely as he does?"

Even these Golden Core True Men of the Four Seasons Sect found this statement somewhat troubling, yet they couldn't just propose a direction and swiftly flee like Li Ye.

Golden Core cultivators already need to take on some responsibilities.

They are the backbone of the Four Seasons Sect—each Nascent Soul cultivator has their own path, and they are not so easily convinced or persuaded.

...

Leaving the palace, Li Ye was not overly worried.

The result proves everything.

Now that the result is good, the True Men will naturally find ways to solve some of the troublesome matters among them, while he hasn't reached Golden Core, he should take it easy when he can.

Once he reaches Golden Core, he will be considered a "senior."

At that time, it won't be so easy to act freely.

Thinking this, he also opened those jade boxes.

Inside were natural Spirit Stones, a thousand in each box, totaling seven thousand.

It must be said, the True Men are indeed generous.

After all, he just proposed a vague idea, without any detailed elaboration.

But since the True Men deemed it worthwhile, he had no objections.

He happily stored away the Spirit Stones and used the Teleportation Array to reach the Golden Sand Island, home to the Golden Sand Race.

The so-called Golden Sand Island isn't just a single isolated island but an archipelago, with each island hosting different clans of the Golden Sand Race.

Their appearances and lifestyles vary considerably.

The island Li Ye arrived at was the largest and also the marketplace open to outsiders by the Golden Sand Race.

Compared to the orderly Four Seasons Marketplace, the scenery here appeared more chaotic, with tall coconut trees and Jade Banana Trees everywhere on the island.

Under these canopies, the Golden Sand people casually set up stalls, selling mostly items from the ocean like various fish, seaweed, pearls, and Spiritual Springs…

For cultivators with discernment, this is a great place to find unexpected treasures, for if you recognize the objects on the stalls, you can obtain them at almost giveaway prices.

But without the eye, it's like throwing money into the sea without even a splash in return.

"Senior Brother Li!"

Ye Juan had been waiting here for some time.

Upon seeing Li Ye, she immediately stepped forward to greet him, smiling, "It must be your first time on Golden Sand Island, Senior Brother Li. Let your junior sister introduce and guide you around."

"Thank you for the trouble, Junior Sister."

Li Ye walked ahead, with Ye Juan trailing a step behind and began to introduce Golden Sand Island, or rather, the main agricultural crops around East Pole Yang Sea.

"You must have noticed, Senior Brother, these Jade Banana Trees and Delicious Coconuts are our primary staple crops."

Ye Juan deftly pulled down a coconut with a silk ribbon and handed it to Li Ye.

The coconut looked rather ordinary on the outside, with a dark gray color and messy rind, also giving no sense of Spiritual Qi.

But when Li Ye scanned it with his Divine Sense, he discovered that the shell of the coconut concealed a hidden marvel, with something inside shaped like pieces of meat, nestled within the inner and outer fruit layers.

This truly puzzled him.

Logically, the interior of a coconut should contain just coconut flesh and water, so why was there something else?

He was curious and lightly ran a finger across it.

"Swoosh!"

A flash of Spiritual Power, and the coconut split evenly into two halves, revealing its contents before Li Ye's eyes.

A peculiar meat-like scent emanated from the coconut.

Chunks resembling perfectly carved five-spice meat floated in the white coconut flesh and clear coconut water.

Indeed, those pieces of meat were well-marbled with fat and lean layers.

If placed outside, they would definitely be considered top-quality five-spice meat.

"Ah."

"This is meat, isn't it?"

Li Ye was now truly intrigued, for Spirit Plants producing meat was not unheard of in the Cultivation Realm, but producing five-spice meat was certainly rare.

Seeing the curious expression on Li Ye's face, Ye Juan chuckled softly, "This is a special Spirit Plant that can only grow here on Golden Sand Island, with each coconut producing different ingredients.

Like this one produces five-spice meat, but another might produce chicken legs or paws, or even beef."

Ah? To grow into something easily consumable, this coconut tree indeed seems quite considerate.

Hearing this, Li Ye scanned the surrounding coconut trees with his Divine Sense, and then squinted to look until the panel activated immediately—

[Name]: Delicious Coconut Tree

[Mood]: Pleasant

[Status]: Preparing delicacies.

[Bindable]: Special grass-like Spirit Plant.

Wait a minute, it's bindable as a Spirit Plant?

So, by the common binding practice of Spirit Beasts and Spirit Plants, shouldn't this thing be considered a "Spirit Beast"?

"But it can produce such a variety of meats, isn't it actually a Spirit Beast?" Li Ye probed.

"How can that be?" Ye Juan immediately shook her head, "Once, some elders from the Four Seasons Sect were curious too, but ultimately discovered that it's purely a Spirit Plant, not a Spirit Beast."

"I see."

Li Ye pondered—it was clear that the panel couldn't be wrong, which means either the sect elders made a mistake or this thing is indeed a Spirit Plant that can be bound.

If that's the case, he really ought to find a way to take a few back for study.

"I want to take some with me."

He said directly, "Which family has good Delicious Coconut Trees? Could you recommend a few to me so I can buy a few?"

Ye Juan seemed a bit troubled: "Uh… but if you take the coconut trees away from Golden Sand Island, they can't produce meat inside the coconuts, they'll just be like ordinary coconuts."

"Then help me find a place to stay here, so I can plant some Jade Banana Grass and Delicious Coconut Trees myself to see."

He was genuinely excited by the novelty.

Missing such unique Spirit Plants would be a huge waste.

If Spirit Plants that can spontaneously produce well-prepared ingredients could be popularized, it would be more than a significant achievement; it could be recorded in history.

Seeing Li Ye's determination, Ye Juan didn't try to dissuade him further and enthusiastically took him to a part of the island specializing in selling Delicious Coconut Trees and Jade Banana Grass.

However, before they even entered, they heard an argument coming from inside—

"Do you look down on me? Do you think I can't afford it? Just tell me how many Spirit Stones and I'll pay right now!"

This voice carried the unique vigor and sharpness of a young swordsman, instantly bringing a peculiar expression to Li Ye's face.

It sounded very familiar…

Without a word, he walked directly into the courtyard and was surprised to see Wei Qingye in black robes, holding his sword with a face full of displeasure.

Opposite Wei Qingye stood a Golden Sand person, smiling wryly.

The atmosphere seemed tense.

"Everyone."

No matter what had occurred, this was the territory of the Four Seasons Sect, and the other party was a friend.

By both reason and emotion, he should mediate.

His arrival caused both of them to turn their heads to him in unison.

"Brother Li!"

Wei Qingye's excited voice echoed, and the bamboo sword he held suddenly zipped over to Li Ye.

It snuggled against Li Ye's arm, exhibiting much more enthusiasm than it did for its owner, Wei Qingye.
