Chapter 120: Potato Flood Dragon Branch, Gourd Spirit Land_2
It truly is feasible.
It seems I should thoroughly exploit these two Profound Water Flood Dragons. After all, they're still in their infancy and can't reproduce real offspring.
"Don't stop."
Li Ye bought Spirit Pills that can nourish the essence blood of Spirit Beasts, and encouraged them: "Just make three more, and that'll be enough!"
The Profound Water Flood Dragons glanced silently at Li Ye, their eyes strangely excited, swallowed the pills in one go, and repeated their previous actions.
Days went by.
Five days later, the two Flood Dragons finally completed Li Ye's task, but seemed somewhat exhausted, diving into their nest for a deep sleep.
At the moment, including the originally existing Vine Flood Dragon, there are already five Vine Flood Dragons at the river bottom, all grown from the Kansheng Potato mother plant.
Previously, Li Ye had observed that the main reason limiting the growth of Potato Flood Dragons inside the top pearls of the Vine Flood Dragons was the concentration of Spiritual Qi and nutrients around them.
Since they are Primordial Spirit Plants, the characteristic of such Spirit Plants is they can grow rapidly with sufficient Spiritual Qi and nutrients.
Faced with this situation, Li Ye was well-prepared.
"I need to make some offshoots for you."
The Spirit Plant Master inheritance of the Four Seasons Sect includes a method for branching Spirit Plants smoothly without damaging them.
Called the "Spirit Division Ruler."
Li Ye now held the Spirit Division Ruler, beginning to cut the connection between the Kansheng Potato and Vine Flood Dragons, during which he found that some light red powder fell out.
This powder emitted an aromatic scent, gradually developing a somewhat sticky texture under the river's flow, resembling the thin outer shell of a Potato Flood Dragon Pearl.
"Could it be starch?"
"I recall that the Kansheng Potato indeed contains starch, but isn't this amount excessively large?"
"Well, let's collect some and show it to the senior brothers and sisters to see what's going on."
Busy, he collected while working.
As he cut the Kansheng Potato, more and more light red starch spread outward, nearly making the surrounding water viscous.
Several Green Wave Carps swam frantically towards this, mouthing and swallowing.
This surprised Li Ye, but what startled him even more were the Profound Crystal Water Algaes wandering in the waters, turning red after absorbing the starch.
Moreover, they seemed to be sticking together, gradually becoming elongated.
Taking the shape of a Flood Dragon...
This scene did not deter Li Ye's actions; he adeptly planted the branched Vine Flood Dragons in different locations, continuing to ponder over the Profound Crystal Water Algaes' situation in his mind.
Profound Crystal Water Algae are also Primordial Spirit Plants.
In the Four Seasons Sect, the primary function of such Spirit Plants is to feed vegetarian aquatic Spirit Beasts, capable of growing in virtually any water environment, hence their strong adaptability.
They also self-adjust according to the Spiritual Qi and environmental changes within the water.
"Meaning it's undergoing changes."
"Change is indeed good."
Li Ye watched for a while, relieved as his method of branching proved effective.
This way, the Kansheng Potato can spawn more Vine Flood Dragons, planting them throughout various regions of the Spirit River.
Spread out, they won't compete for Spiritual Qi and nutrients, thus growing faster.
"The Kansheng Potato is finished too."
"What's left is the gourd; let's see if there's room for optimization or change."
He got up and left the river, unaware that after he left, the Profound Crystal Water Algaes floating around gathered together.
They surrounded the Potato Flood Dragon Pearl atop the Vine Flood Dragon, seemingly invading it, with the Potato Flood Dragon inside showing no resistance, allowing these algae to invade and cover itself.
...
Pure Spiritual Field.
Here, changes occur nearly every so often.
——Now what he saw was a stretch of glowing five-colored Spiritual Light, an expanse of Gourd Forest, countless Vine Flood Dragons swaying, within them the freedom-roaming Gourd Spirit Turtles and gourds.
Growing so lush in just a few months' time, the reason is naturally because it's the experimental field managed by him for the sect.
Three pieces of Five Elements Spiritual Spring Jade have been used alone, not to mention the frequent Spiritual Qi guidance and application of the Earth Emotions Technique.
This area in his Cave Mansion burns the most Spirit Stones, piled up with Spirit Stones.
"The Spiritual Qi here seems off."
"It seems...not exchanging Spiritual Power with the outside."
Li Ye frowned.
Upon truly entering the Spirit Field, he could feel stepping across a Gourd Vine made the surrounding Five Elements Spiritual Qi incredibly intense.
As if in a different world from the outside.
Like Spirit Land.
"...Spirit Land." He looked at the winding expanse of Gourd Vines and the grooves dug by Beavers running with Gourd Oil.
Suddenly, he felt something amiss.
A fleeting spirituality flashed through his Divine Sense.
Li Ye's eyes sharpened; without hesitation, he sat down, injecting his Divine Sense into the earth, using the Earth Emotions Technique to perceive.
This place, where he frequently practiced the Earth Emotions Technique, made his perception smooth, quickly capturing the source of spirituality.
His face immediately lit up with joy, transforming into Escape Light, swiftly darting through the "forest" formed by Gourd Vines, towards the depths of Spirit Land.
The terrain here was slightly depressed.
Some Gourd Oil that hadn't flowed into the pre-dug groove array accumulated here, forming a pit about half a meter deep.
In the pit was a five-colored translucent lotus bud.
Timidly and curiously transmitting friendly intent towards him.
[Name]; Pure Spirit Lotus in the Spirit Land
[Mood]; Curious, fearful, pleasing
[Status]; Mutating, the Spirit Body composed of Spirit Field Earth Qi being soaked by Gourd Oil.
[Bindable]; The Spirit Plant aiding to remove inner oil or sharing the oil, different Spirit Plants bring different changes.
"Oh?"
Unexpectedly, a Spirit Beast capable of choosing two mutation directions.
Hold on, this should be a Spirit Plant, yet categorically classified as a Spirit Beast?
Could it be because this entity is a pure Spirit Body, thus classified as Spirit Beast instead of Spirit Plant.
He curiously observed the lotus, which started trembling all over, even shedding Spirit Liquid, as if weeping.
"..."
Li Ye withdrew his curious gaze, pondering what Spirit Plant to choose for it, whether to share the oil or separate the oil?
Thinking carefully, enjoying seems better.
Since the Pure Spiritual Field's characteristic is spawning these Pure Spirit Lotuses, he surely will acquire more in the future, offering further cultivation opportunities.
But now, this lotus formed through the catalyzation of countless Gourd Vines, oils, and abundant Five Elements Spiritual Qi breeds into a mutant, unable to truly leave the Spirit Field.
There ultimately was only one choice.
Thus, it's time to consider the suitable Spirit Plant.
Enjoying the oil, meaning requiring oil or extracting oil for growth, and it must be a Primordial Spirit Plant.
Otherwise, slow growth would simply take too long.
Countless Spirit Plants flowed through his mind, showcasing the perks of frequently reviewing the Spirit Plant Atlas, swiftly reminding him of one.
He took off the Eight Trigrams Celestial Plate from his Sun and Moon Ring, summoning the Transporting Locust Spirit, instructing: "Go to the Four Seasons Jade Pendant and purchase a Lamp Wax Flower."
"Ying."
The Transporting Locust Spirit made a sound and swiftly left.
"Since when did it start making sounds, becoming a 'ying ying' creature?" Li Ye looked at its departing figure, surprisingly finding this fellow had advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
It seems there are more surprises in unnoticed places.
