Chapter 222: Compassion's Gift, the Four Seasons of the Granary (Part 2)
He raised his palm towards Li Ye.
First, a golden wheat ear flew over, followed by a small orb emanating a hazy moonlight.
After these two treasures landed in front of Li Ye, Compassionate Medicine King lost interest in communicating with him, slowly stood up, and soon disappeared holding Bai Shunfeng.
Only at this moment did the beaver dare to quietly grab a strand of his hair, and softly squeaked a few times.
——This guy is terrifying!
Clearly, the beavers all sensed something off about Compassionate Medicine King.
"It's okay."
Li Ye reassured each of the beavers, "This deity is registered with our Four Seasons Sect. If it were truly an evil god, our teachers would not allow Him to remain here.
It's probably just His temperament that's a bit odd."
Well, speaking ill of deities even secretly is somewhat daunting, but fortunately, deities are generally magnanimous—or perhaps only such magnanimity allows them to master so many inconceivable divine techniques.
The constraints deities face are far more than those of the cultivators.
After comforting the beavers, he looked down at the items he had received—a stalk of wheat and an orb shining with moonlight.
The former is called "Compassion" Spiritual Grain.
The latter is the vitality that can cultivate blood spirits through essence blood.
Blood spirits are "elves" nurtured with essence blood, and they will self-replicate, to pass on the bloodline as much as possible, serving as a method to help rare spirit beasts propagate their lineage.
Li Ye was not unfamiliar with this, as it had been mentioned numerous times in the sect's scriptures.
What he truly cared about was this stalk of wheat.
If he wasn't mistaken, this should've fallen from the body of Compassionate Medicine King, meaning it counts as part of Him, being Spiritual Grain formed from a deity's body.
Was Compassionate Medicine King waiting here just to give him these two items? Or did He also sense the uniqueness of this grain storehouse, thus offering goodwill?
Moreover, the quest for eternal life—could this Compassionate Wheat cure this "stubborn disease"?
Even with his current mana, divine sense, and divine techniques, he couldn't completely discern the mysteries of Compassion Spiritual Grain, indicating just how special this item really was.
Only the panel was effective——
[Name]: Compassion Spiritual Grain
[Mood]: None
[State]: One of the Five Grains that fell from the deity "Compassion," a true deity intending to use daily living methods to cure the short lifespan of mortals.
Once detached from Compassion's body, it falls into a brief slumber, until it can take root and grow elsewhere, adhering to the cycles of the seasons——spring planting and autumn harvesting.
[Can be bound]: To any "deity" body.
Tsk.
If Li Ye guessed correctly, this item probably needs a deity's flesh for it to take root and grow.
That Compassion was specifically waiting for him!
Because his grain storehouse, the Wuyou Grain Storehouse, in some sense, was a "god" transformed through Lady Xiang's divine techniques.
Indeed, it's quite bizarre.
Yet honestly, it really sparked his curiosity. Earlier, he was pondering how to aid mortals; was this truly feasible?
If it were feasible, the sect surely wouldn't have waited this long without widespread cultivation—even if it requires the body of deities for planting.
There should be plenty of deities willing to donate a bit of their body, right?
Thus, the answer must be: this item has significant flaws, which even Compassionate Medicine King cannot resolve.
So, He gave it to him, hoping he could perfect and cultivate a truly flawless Compassion Wheat.
After Li Ye figured this out, he looked in the direction where Compassion had vanished and softly said:
"The Immortal and Mortal Barrier seems to also have a lifespan disparity; if the Five Grains inside the Wuyou Grain Storehouse were replaced with the Five Grains from the Compassionate Medicine King...
Might the effect be better?"
——Additionally, what might result from hybridizing and binding the uniquely effective Five Grains for symbiosis?
Earlier, he felt uncomfortable with Compassionate Medicine King, but now suddenly found this deity rather agreeable.
Agreeable enough to want to pick all of His Five Grains and those special spiritual flowers and exotic herbs...
…
Li Ye returned to Dongcang Town with the Wuyou Grain Storehouse.
He specially instructed Guardian Yao to gather the people, and loudly proclaimed:
"Everyone!"
"This item is a treasure given to me by an Immortal!"
Although there's a bit of embarrassment in saying so, he still calmly pointed to the Wuyou Grain Storehouse and said:
"It is a grain storehouse!"
"Inside it, there are fields that can grow Five Grains. We just need to carefully tend to the land, and once the grains are harvested, it will automatically debark and store the food!"
"It will never decay!"
"Moreover, we can take out food from it at any time, as fresh as just picked and harvested, with long-term consumption providing miraculous effects in curing all ailments!"
These words immediately made people start to whisper among themselves:
"Is it true?"
"So, from now on, we don't need to venture out to cultivate; we just tend to the fields inside this grain storehouse?"
"Hey, hey, do you think this grain storehouse is the legendary Grotto Heaven Blessed Land where Immortals live?"
Li Ye, of course, heard all these words, but he did not intervene, and finally said: "Please go inside and see for yourselves."
Then he quietly left.
People are always fond of excitement.
And with confirmation that this seemingly ordinary grain storehouse is a treasure given by Immortals, with no danger, generations living under the protection of the Four Seasons Sect naturally couldn't wait to go in and have a look.
