The power is just barely at the Golden Core level.

But having this kind of power is not bad at all, considering this group of Sword Pillar Fish is merely at the Foundation Establishment level; unexpectedly, under his control, they could reach Golden Core power.

After trying it out, Li Ye released the beak of the Sword Pillar Fish with satisfaction.

This batch of Sword Pillar Fish doesn't require binding themselves, and Li Ye intends to bind them with the Void Nether Grass—after a casual chat with Third Senior Brother last time, he suddenly realized the uniqueness of Void Nether Grass.

How unique it is to have a stable space controlled at will by a Spirit Beast.

Not to mention the subtle influence of a spatial attribute spirit grass on a spirit beast, even just the inner core of the spirit beast can be nurtured in this space.

Li Ye has already applied to Master to experiment on some spirit beasts using the World Nourishing Pill Method. If successful, it would indeed be an unprecedented achievement.

It's known that obscure and profound magic techniques are not few in the Four Seasons Sect, but those who can master these divine techniques are all extraordinary.

So how to enable more cultivators to learn, to simplify, is what the sect's Silver Apricot Hall has been researching all along.

However, simplifying cultivation techniques is easier said than done. Even with the millennia-old foundation of the Four Seasons Sect, they have barely researched a few methods, among which is the "Five Elements Spirit Ascension Technique" cultivated by Li Ye.

This dharma method is the most widely spread cultivation technique, and it can be cultivated with any single spirit root among the five elements, but it undergoes a qualitative change upon reaching the Golden Core period, gradually achieving the original effect.

Of course, the original version is an exclusive secret of the Four Seasons Sect.

Now his goal is to experiment with the Void Nether Grass and the World Nourishing Pill Method on various spirit beasts to see if a simplified version can be developed.

The Sword Pillar Fish is one of the spirit beasts he's chosen.

...

After releasing the Sword Pillar Fish, Li Ye continued downward.

Soon, he saw a seaweed patch swaying with the seawater at the seabed.

This seaweed is very beautiful; its leaves are exquisite creations in the shape of dragon scales, connected by branches shimmering with an emerald, smooth green glow.

From afar, the leaves of various colors sway with the seawater and light, truly pleasing to the eye.

[Name]: Abyss Sea Clear Scale Leaf

[Mood]: Swaying with the seawater

[State]: Adapting to the environment; upon completing adaptation, it will send out scales to take root in the surroundings, growing into a seaweed forest.

[Bindable]: Sea Floating Stone type spirit beasts; each scale can be bound independently, and subsequent growth will vary based on the Sea Floating Stone type.

Sea Floating Stone.

Isn't that just a sponge?

There are actually quite a lot of Sea Floating Stone type spirit beasts in the Four Seasons Sect, frequently found living in thriving marine areas.

Especially in some dense breeding or planting areas, they play the role of purifying water and providing habitat for some small spirit beasts and spiritual insects.

But because there are quite a few varieties, Li Ye was momentarily hesitating about what type of Sea Floating Stone to choose.

But he didn't dwell on it for long.

Select? Just pick the one that looks good, right?

He directly took out a jade scroll, and among the many Sea Floating Stones inside, quickly selected the most basic one, covered in various large and small holes, with a deep yellow color.

This Sea Floating Stone is also one of the unique species of the East Pole Yang Sea, named Golden Sea Floating Stone.

When Li Ye bought a palm-sized piece of Golden Sea Floating Stone and kneaded it in his hand, it felt soft, akin to kneading a slightly resilient piece of tofu.

The creature wiggled slightly, emitting a faint "pochi" sound from the holes being kneaded, then obediently lay flat, letting Li Ye knead it without moving.

"Feels pretty good."

Li Ye kneaded it a few more times, and for some reason, kneading the Golden Sea Floating Stone gave him a peculiar, refreshing sensation. But because this feeling came so swiftly, he hurriedly took it to bind.

After all, he couldn't indulge himself for too long.

The binding cost was a bit unexpected, costing a full five thousand points. You have to know that binding Void Nether Grass with the Sinking Sea Shell only cost ten thousand vitality points.

Based on the rule that the more the binding cost, the more peculiar the effect, he eagerly anticipated the surprise that the Golden Sea Floating Stone and the Abyss Sea Clear Scale Leaf might bring him.

Initially, he thought the results wouldn't appear so quickly, planning to check the situation with the coral next, as binding too many at once would obscure the results.

However, just as he stepped forward to leave, the Golden Sea Floating Stone, which he placed together, astonishingly twisted its body in an exaggerated manner, tightly entwining the bound scale of the Abyss Sea Clear Scale Leaf.

It was like an octopus finding a seabed rock to take shelter, its soft yellow body forcibly pressing the Abyss Sea Clear Scale Leaf down to the ground.

They became inseparable.

Then...

"Hoo~"

"Hoo..."

A strange, breathing-like sound emanated from the Golden Sea Floating Stone, detectable under Li Ye's divine sense investigation.

He actually saw the scale-shaped leaf being absorbed by the seawater intake of the Golden Sea Floating Stone, also getting eroded by the water flow and absorbed.

Standing there, Li Ye watched them, and a trace of unease emerged in his mind, as if he were witnessing the roots of the Demon-Suppressing Tree snapping one by one, with the demon trapped inside about to be unleashed.

"Interesting."

"To make me feel uneasy..."

His lips slightly curled up, and he gently took a step forward.
