Chapter 139: Suiyue Crystal Butterfly, Wangshu Race
Li Ye, lying on the ground pretending to be vines, noticed something amiss immediately.
He "looked up" to take a glance.
To his surprise, the little white flowers on the vine were all in bloom.
—In the heavenly dome, a bright full moon was pouring out moonlight as clear as water, illuminating every detail inside the cave mansion.
Vaguely, one could see a female figure sitting inside the full moon, with long immortal ribbons forming into strips around the moonlight.
One of them was extending towards Su Ya's secluded cultivation spot.
"Moon God Wangshu?"
Li Ye froze for a moment and hastened to return to his main body.
Yet before he could extend the vine, he heard a breathy "shh—" carried through the moonlight by the wind.
In his daze, a graceful figure seemed to be dragging a long gown, her face indistinct, a woman raised her slender jade finger making a hush gesture at him.
His movement instantly came to a halt.
He watched, wide-eyed, as the immortal ribbons gathered a few dragon-eye sized pills from Su Ya's secluded cultivation place that had a bright moon pattern on the surface.
Then... it retracted.
Its arrival seemed solely to take those few pills.
All the moonlight withdrew as well.
Yet next to Li Ye appeared a floating small light sphere, and beside Su Ya in the Pill-Refining Room, several pieces of silver-white jade floated.
"Turns out it was just to take the pills."
Li Ye swiftly returned to his body, reaching out to grasp the small light sphere beside him.
This light sphere was roughly one tael of "water."
Moonlight Divine Water.
The Moonlight Divine Water from the Three Lights Divine Water.
"Really quite generous."
Moonlight Divine Water isn't sold over at the Four Seasons Sect; one has to complete rather troublesome sect tasks to obtain it.
Cultivators drinking it can cleanse their roots and divine senses, feed it to Spirit Beasts or Spirit Plants might allow them to comprehend divine techniques related to moonlight.
"You take it and put it away."
"Yes."
He handed over the small light sphere to the awaiting Spiritual Mechanism Vine beside him, who immediately took it and placed the Moonlight Divine Water into the storage cabinet within Li Ye's courtyard through its body.
This is a small ability of Spiritual Mechanism Vine; its vine body is equivalent to a spatial passage, capable of transferring items within the cave mansion's range.
Only after seeing it put things away did Li Ye stand up.
While feeling the change in spiritual power within his body, he walked towards Su Ya.
This experience immersed in the senses of Spiritual Mechanism Vine and having cast an Emotion Song, though his cultivation did not directly improve, his comprehension of nature and heaven ascended another level.
The Emotion Song clearly advanced to the next level.
Additionally, the branches of Jianmu could finally truly leave his body and interact with the outside world. With the power of Jianmu, he could employ many peculiar divine techniques.
Especially those beneficial to Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts, such as organizing spiritual power, fostering, enlightenment... These are performed through Jianmu, far more effective than if he did it himself.
"Really quite good indeed."
"It's an improvement in control, not strength."
This is actually a good thing for him, his cultivation grew extraordinarily quickly, in just over a year reaching the Seventh Layer of Foundation Establishment.
Thinking as such, he had walked to Su Ya's side.
Happened to meet Su Ya with a look of panic.
"What's wrong, Brother?" He was curious; he'd never seen Su Ya like this.
"Look!" Su Ya hurriedly handed over a note when he saw Li Ye.
On it were six big words: "The more pills, the better."
The script had a hint of moonlit cool and mystery, elegant and slender, most likely written by a lady.
Combined with the scene Li Ye had just witnessed...
"Tsk, tsk."
"This should be a request from the Lady Wangshu, isn't it?"
Li Ye couldn't help but laugh: "Isn't this a good thing? The Lady should have also given you compensation, hasn't she Brother?"
Su Ya rolled his eyes: "Supplying pills for Lady Wangshu is usually a new hall opening at the Pill-Refining Hall, hundreds of alchemists provide together.
Now it's only me..."
He shivered and his smile turned bitter: "Even if locked in the Pill-Refining Room, I can't produce that many pills."
The thought of endlessly repeating the crafting of a single type of pill made him feel utterly miserable.
After all, he didn't learn to focus solely on crafting one specific pill but took the path of understanding the transformations among pills and creating his own path as a pill master.
"Don't hurry, don't hurry."
Li Ye comforted: "You need the Moon-controlling Spirit Fire that I supply for refining pills, don't you, this Spirit Fire... eh?"
He was about to continue when he suddenly sensed some changes in the spiritual qi from the Moonlight Spirit Land nearby.
The moonlight in the sky was gradually disappearing.
Through the Spiritual Mechanism Vine, he could see where the Silver Moon Grass and Flint Fire Crystal Insect grew, suddenly caught fire, the flame a deep silvery color, using moonlight as fuel.
When Li Ye noticed it, the flame was shrinking slowly, turning into a flowing light, falling onto the Silver Moon Grass, unexpectedly forming seeds of fire, burning continuously on top.
The Flint Fire Crystal Insect seemed quite curious about these flames, stubbornly moving its chubby body onto the Silver Moon Grass, nibbling at the fire seeds in small bites.
Its body, originally somewhat red in color, suddenly turned completely silver, while the tender sprouts on its head transformed from silver to red.
Although Spiritual Mechanism Vine can extend Li Ye's divine senses, it cannot activate panel abilities, but judging from spiritual power and appearance alone, it should no longer be a "Flint Fire Crystal Insect."
