Chapter 227: Ink and Water Demon Spirit, Mister Tree



It seems Bitter Journey Academy has a special fondness for ginkgo, this spirit wood, as there are seven or eight ginkgo trees planted in this courtyard, and just a slight sense can detect an extremely abundant Spiritual Qi and spirituality within.

That is the power accumulated over the years.

"These ginkgo trees are quite full of life."

"But they've accumulated so much Spiritual Qi and spirituality, why haven't they transformed into Spirit Demons?"

A disciple curiously caressed the ginkgo tree.

If such ginkgo trees were in the Four Seasons Sect, many cultivators would be willing to enlighten their spirituality, but here... it's as if consciously avoiding their transformation into Spirit Demons.

Su Ya sat on a bamboo wood ant chair nearby.

Looking at the ginkgo trees, he replied:

"The Spirit Demons of Bitter Journey Academy have their own dedicated force."

"I've heard it seems to be called... Demon Spirit Inn."

Compared to Li Ye, who hasn't been cultivating for long and doesn't know much about the major forces, Su Ya has certainly prepared and studied a lot, because he knows he can't contribute much to the Grotto Heaven incident, and can only strive in other matters.

"Demon Spirit Inn?"

Li Ye just returned and asked with interest:

"I really don't know the specifics of Bitter Journey Academy, so I'd trouble you, Senior Brother, to explain a bit."

He casually handed some ink and water soil to a nearby disciple, indicating them to analyze the spiritual power structure inside, while behind them, bamboo wood ants had already formed a comfortable reclining chair, allowing him to relax and lie down.

The brocade rat that followed took out a pile of pastries and a teapot from its nest, diligently serving Li Ye tea.

After taking a sip of fragrant tea and touching the brocade rat,

Li Ye leaned back on the soft lounge chair, slightly squinting his eyes.

At this moment, Su Ya started speaking: "One of the ancestors of Bitter Journey Academy is said to be a mystical spirit wood that became spiritual, and she reveres the philosophy that all things have spirituality.

Though Bitter Journey Academy's Holy Books may help trees, rocks, rivers, and other natural entities to enlighten spirituality, the Spirits of Nature born from them are at most in the Qi Refining Stage.

Furthermore, their cultivation methods differ from what we commonly see, almost unable to refine Qi into their bodies on their own, because their foundation is the Holy Books.

Equivalent to..."

Su Ya left the rest unsaid.

But Li Ye already understood—Confucian rules are reflected here. Even after achieving spirituality, to continue advancing, one still needs to obtain "permission" or have higher-level Confucian cultivators chant more profound Holy Books.

This has a huge difference compared to the Four Seasons Sect.

In the Four Seasons Sect, if one wants to cultivate, there are many opportunities, whether for cultivation techniques or a cultivation environment, all provided by the cultivators.

Li Ye contemplated the book in his hand.

"That is indeed interesting."

"The Spirit Demons of the Demon Spirit Inn entirely rely on the support of the Human Race to advance; what was the Confucian ancestor thinking?"

"And might the Spirit Demons feel irritated?"

Su Ya couldn't help but rub his temples.

This is still on someone else's turf, speaking so openly about such matters... although it seems to not matter, even within Bitter Journey Academy, many cultivators often say some "treasonous and heretical" words.

Moreover, this place has long been set up with their arrays brought along; no matter what they discuss, they cannot be overheard.

"Wait a minute."

"You mean the Grotto Heaven issue is related to the Spirit Demons?"

After a brief moment of silence, Su Ya immediately responded.

One must know Li Ye is definitely not someone who casually discusses unrelated topics, suddenly saying this, he must have discovered something.

"Yes."

"Senior Brother should know I've learned a special Divine Technique."

"That Divine Technique originally derives from the wondrous imagination of natural spirits about the world; I suspect this Grotto Heaven is related to the Spirit Demons."

This idea suddenly arose.

But the cultivators' insights can sometimes be this miraculous.

Almost instinctively, he felt that this matter is certainly related to the Spirit Demons.

"Hmm."

Su Ya, however, felt the matter wasn't so simple:

"So you're saying this is an internal struggle of Bitter Journey Academy."

"But if it really were the Spirit Demons, would Bitter Journey Academy not know?"

This was also the point that puzzled Li Ye.

Could he be wrong?

That's impossible.

Bitter Journey Academy didn't notice?

That's even more impossible.

It seems they'll have to wait until tomorrow to directly ask about it.

To solve the issue requires open and honest communication between both parties; if both have their own ideas, it will only complicate matters.

However, he certainly needs to present something of significant weight.

Having decided this, he looked towards the disciple analyzing the soil.

"How is it?"

The disciple's expression was somewhat peculiar.

He responded:

"There is spiritual power composition in the soil, and... blood."

"If the magical artifact is not mistaken, the pollution in the soil should be from the blood within it."

"But this blood's spiritual power structure is not in our atlas; it's unseen spiritual power."

Upon hearing this, Li Ye rather felt clarity.

A thought swiftly formed in his mind.

He nodded:

"I know."

"Transmit the spiritual power structure of this object back to the sect."

"And also send our deductions to the Sect Leader, Martial Uncle."

Saying so, he stood up, a knowing smile on his face, and said to Su Ya: "I'll go think of a way."

Then, he took his teacup into his small courtyard.

After confirming that the array and the Emotion Song probe ensured nothing could potentially spy on him, he extended a hand and gently made a slash gesture in front of himself.

"Sizzle~"

It sounded somewhat like the tearing of fabric.
