Chapter 219: Spirit Leaf Sea Floating Stone, Spirit Leaf Caravan?
True Man Yunming shook his head, "This is actually known to all the major sects, as the Qiongguan Great Inference Immortal Array on Qiongguan Mountain records all events since ancient times."
"Our duty is to compile history books—this responsibility was actually taken by our ancestors from the Confucian history line.
Although it indeed makes people resentful, it is the order of the ancestors, so it must be done!"
Not sure if it was an illusion.
In any case, the expression of True Man Yunming seemed rather spirited when he said 'must be done,' not looking like he was compelled but rather quite happy.
"I see."
Li Ye nodded knowingly, "Then according to what you said, how do you intend to cooperate? This matter seems to benefit only our Four Seasons Sect. You should know that we will never allow the ancestor's Tao Sound and its heritage to be lost."
"I am, of course, aware of this," True Man Yunming said frankly. "Although we have the duty to record history, if we discover that any seal belongs to a certain sect, we must return those things.
Moreover, when the Eight Trigrams on the Turtle Shell of this Eight Trigrams Spirit Turtle is truly deciphered, it requires the Spiritual Power corresponding to the sect for the final decryption.
It still belongs to you—we only hope to gain the decoding process of the Eight Trigrams Seal left by the ancestor on the Turtle Shell, which is very helpful to our Tao path.
Therefore, according to the sect's wishes, we will bear the consumption of Tribulation Ash and Tribulation Qi to exchange for the lotus help in Tribulation Crossing."
This seems to be a one-sided contribution from Qiongguan Mountain, but thinking carefully, that decoding process is already an extremely rare heritage for them.
Since they are willing, Li Ye naturally has no objection.
He is indeed curious about the Tao Sound of Ancestor Xuanyuan sealed within the Eight Trigrams Spirit Turtle.
So Li Ye agreed, "Let's then sign a contract. I will provide some lotus every year until this matter can be resolved.
The consumption of Tribulation Ash and Tribulation Qi, according to you, will naturally be entirely borne by your sect."
Chen Mo, the third senior brother beside him, had already quickly drafted the contract when Li Ye said this—indeed, he had accumulated so many contracts here that it had almost become a reflex.
"Thank you for your hard work, senior brother."
Li Ye could naturally see his senior brother's fatigue, and after quickly signing the contract with True Man Yunming, he directly spoke out to see him off.
Then he looked towards his senior brother.
"If you're tired, why not let me hold the fort here for a few days?"
Chen Mo was briefly tempted.
But after thinking about it, he still shook his head, "Better not. However, you arrived just in time, as your Golden Sea Floating Stone has already been tested by the sect."
He handed a Jade Scroll to Li Ye.
Inside, it detailed the Spirit Power output and efficacy of the "Reversed Scale Golden Sea Floating Stone" that Li Ye sent for testing by the Spirit Plant and Beast Taming Hall.
In short, this Golden Sea Floating Stone can explode with a power close to a casual strike of the Golden Core level, which, though insignificant for a genius like Li Ye,
is an excellent means of survival and exploration for low-tier cultivators, being an always-ready-to-activate Golden Core level "Spiritual Power Bomb."
The most important thing is, it's cheap to manufacture.
Li Ye's Golden Sea Floating Stone can produce almost hundreds of pounds of Reversed Scale Floating Stone daily, with more diverse Sea Floating Stones mutating nearby. As long as Li Ye wishes, it would be a constantly productive workshop.
"It looks quite promising." Li Ye read through the contents of the Jade Scroll carefully, "I'll consider it as my contribution to the sect, and I'll hand over all the production of the Golden Sea Floating Stone to the sect."
In any case, that thing just absorbs Spiritual Qi and can grow exponentially. For him, the Golden Core level Spiritual Power Bomb is of no use, better to donate it to the sect to distribute to low-tier cultivators.
Many Golden Core and even Nascent Soul cultivators also cultivate various Spirit Plants or Spirit Beasts to donate to the sect without compensation, as after the Golden Core stage, one should not only take but also give back.
"Do you really want to hand over everything?" Chen Mo asked, "If you really hand over everything, you need to provide an exact amount each month, making it easier for the sect to register and distribute."
"All the Storage Pouches containing these items will be imprinted with your Tao name, so the sect disciples will know exactly who donated them. Generally, they'll get into the habit of calling it Spirit Leaf Sea Floating Stone."
"Is there really such an awkward situation?"
Li Ye felt a little dazed at the thought that this thing might be called "Spirit Leaf Sea Floating Stone" in the future.
For example, a cultivator might shout, "Quick, take out the Spirit Leaf Sea Floating Stone!"
Then throw it forward with force—
"Boom!"
The enemy turns to ashes in an instant.
"I never thought my first fame among the disciples would be for obliterating enemies due to this." Li Ye was quite helpless.
But Chen Mo had a different opinion:
"This is great, isn't it? For low-tier cultivators, these one-time survival items are very precious. I believe that your reputation will soon spread not only among the low-tier cultivators in the Four Seasons Sect."
"Now, you are already quite well-known among the middle and high ranks, only the low-tier cultivators remain."
Hearing Chen Mo's words, Li Ye suddenly felt a shiver, "You can't be intending to make me manage disciples or take on any burdensome duties in the sect, can you?"
"That I refuse to do!"
