Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel

And besides, the distance from here to the Spirit Stone Mine is indeed very distant, how could so much Spiritual Qi gather so quickly?

The more he thought, the paler his face became.

Could it really be that there's a problem with the Spirit Stone Mine?

That would truly be a big trouble.

"Brother Li."

He quickly clasped his fists to apologize:

"Sorry to trouble Brother Li to wait here for a moment, I will go ask the elders of my race and will definitely give Brother Li an accurate answer later."

"Many thanks to Brother Li for the reminder!"

After saying this, he quickly flew away on a cloud.

Seeing his hurried demeanor, Li Ye could roughly guess that there's probably a problem with the Spirit Stone Mine.

But that, after all, is the issue of the Enlightened Race.

Having already given the warning, the remaining matters no longer concern him.

He didn't even think about it any further, just waiting for them to come back and continue later.

"Might as well take a rest here."

He simply summoned the Bamboo Wood Ants from the Storage Ring and instructed them to build a bamboo house.

The Bamboo Wood Ants worked swiftly, stretching their bodies into planks and assembling them on the spot, quickly forming a vibrant green bamboo house.

Li Ye sat inside the bamboo house, observing the changes in the Potato Flood Dragon Vine while waiting for Li Sui's return.

He was leisurely here.

But after Li Sui found the elders, the situation became quite urgent.

Upon hearing Li Sui mention the potential Spiritual Qi leakage, the elders dared not delay and rushed to inspect the Spirit Locking Array underground.

This inspection revealed an unsettling sight—a breach about an inch long had formed in one of the Array Bases.

Spiritual Qi was continuously gushing through the breach, seeping into the outside world via the Earth Vein.

Had they not inspected this time, the Spirit Stones they worked so hard to acquire might completely degrade once the Spiritual Qi dissipated enough for them to notice!

"Truly grateful for that young friend's reminder!"

"He even wants to set up a test field on our place."

"Quickly thank him with something, don't let him leave, that would be troublesome!"

The elders of the Enlightened Race immediately began reinforcing the array and started inquiries and checks within the race.

Li Han and Li Sui were then dispatched with items to thank Li Ye.

If not for Li Ye, it would have been a significant loss.

"Young friend!"

As soon as Li Han arrived, he warmly shouted.

The sound resonated like a tiger's roar, causing even the snow on distant mountain peaks to fall.

The power was comparable to some Divine Techniques.

The sound gave Li Ye, who was meditating, a startle, almost disrupting his breathing, and he quickly stood up and waved: "Senior, calm down!"

He once again suspected that this Golden Core True Man had some impairment in his Divine Sense, otherwise why would he act like this.

Fortunately, Li Sui was a sensible presence nearby.

Li Sui grasped the elder by the collar, coaxing him as if calming a child with words unknown to Li Ye.

It took quite a while before Elder Li Han was appeased and led away.

Then Li Sui approached and summarized the recent events, expressing his gratitude:

"Truly thank you, Dao You, for enabling us to mitigate our losses in time."

"This is a token of gratitude specifically presented by our elders after a discussion, Dao You must accept it."

He took out a jade box and handed it over.

Li Ye didn't hesitate—considering what he had been told, he indeed had offered substantial assistance, and refusing it might make them uneasy.

"I will accept it then. What exactly is this treasure?"

"Please have a look, Brother Li," Li Sui gestured invitingly.

"Oh?"

Li Ye directly opened the jade box.

He initially thought it would contain common Spirit Plants from the Enlightened Race, but to his surprise, it was filled with neatly arranged Spirit Stones.

The box had clearly been refined with the Space Rune.

A cursory glance revealed it contained ten thousand natural Spirit Stones.

The moment the box was opened, the overflowing Spiritual Qi made Li Ye feel entirely refreshed.

"..."

"Your race is quite straightforward, and generous too."

At current market prices, a single natural Spirit Stone could be exchanged for a hundred ordinary ones, making this box worth one million Spirit Stones.

Considering the importance of natural Spirit Stones, the price might even rise.

This gift was truly "filled with sincerity".

It's understandable though, as a prominent race with a foothold in the Treasure Nest Pavilion, they surely have ample resources.

Now truly accepting favors, he might as well settle the matter directly.

Li Ye stored the jade box containing the Spirit Stones and simply stated:

"Although the situation has returned to normal, I still hope your race could provide some natural Spirit Stones to nurture a Potato Flood Dragon Vine.

I intend to place them in different water bodies to observe the effects of natural Spirit Stones on the Potato Flood Dragon Vine.

If the experiment proceeds smoothly, I will leave the task of promoting this crop to your race."

Li Sui's eyes lit up: "Rest assured! I will assign personnel to tend to them specifically and establish arrays to transmit the data to Brother Li's Cave Mansion!"

Know that, during the promotion to various regions, there will be significant Merit rewards, along with leaving a favorable impression with the higher-ups of the Four Seasons Sect.

The potential benefits alone are immeasurable.

Indeed, gifting those ten thousand natural Spirit Stones was worth it!

Thus.

Li Ye swiftly used a contract from the Steward Hall to designate the Enlightened Race's nameless barren mountain as the "Potato Flood Dragon First Experimental River."

In short, it became known as Potato Flood Dragon Mountain.

The Potato Flood Dragons produced here would be transported by the Enlightened Race to the outside world, inspected, then initially released to the Four Seasons Marketplace, and subsequently rolled out elsewhere.

In this process, Li Ye wouldn't earn any Spirit Stone revenue but would need to transport more Potato Flood Dragon Vines for planting and address any issues that arise with them.

Until the quantity of Potato Flood Dragon Vines could sustain their presence in waters outside the Four Seasons Sect, transforming them from a rarity to a crop available for purchase.

Of course, it's not as if he gains no benefit.

——The title of Li Ye, Cultivator of Potato Flood Dragon Vine, would grow more renowned as the Potato Flood Dragon Vine proliferates.

He would also receive some Merits and hidden resource inclinations from the sect.

The Merits and benefits the Potato Flood Dragon Vine could bring might far exceed previous products like gourd oil.

This grain crop emerging in the Cultivation Realm will benefit all sects, even countless mortals too.

While it seems like he's only paying, there are actually numerous benefits, many of which cannot be obtained through ordinary means.

...

After accomplishing this, Li Ye didn't return directly to his Cave Mansion but instead went to the Four Seasons Marketplace to assist Yuan Yan in casting the Emotion Song for the third time.

After all, there are one million Spirit Stones at stake.

This time, both Yuan Yan and he persisted for a long duration.

The brilliance of the Deer God's divine body enveloped Yuan Yan, channeling power to the enormous banyan tree.

Called "Wuyou Spirit City," the banyan tree absorbed enough Spiritual Power, extending its branches underwater.

It absorbed the water into its branches and roots, freely stretching and growing rapidly, as one exquisite pavilion after another gradually formed upon it.

Even in its rudimentary state, one can tell it's truly a banyan tree city.

However, to see it fully formed might require two or three more communications.

Li Ye eagerly anticipated what would occur when it finally completed—he had a premonition that it would be when he understood the connection between the Emotion Song and the Yuansheng Deer.

To preserve the anticipation, he chose not to ask Senior Brother Ling Ji Vine or his master, wishing to uncover the truth on his own.

Not everything should rely on the guidance of elders after all.

Some matters must be resolved independently.

After finishing the performance, he bid farewell to Yuan Yan and departed.

Conducting the Emotion Song once more earned him another million Spirit Stones.

This, combined with his prior savings, amounted to several million.

With his earnings, he resolved to further perfect his Cave Mansion and procure all necessary items.

It was vital to balance the Five Elements Attribute within the Cave Mansion.
