After a long conversation through the night.

True Man Suoxing sat with Li Ye on the edge of Island No. 5632, both watching a rising sun slowly emerging from the distant sea.

Golden-red light poured over the surface of the Four Seasons Sea, faintly revealing countless islands in the depths, each teeming with outer sect disciples, cultivating and breeding various spiritual objects.

This vast sea was never serene, and could even be described as bustling.

"Before the end of summer, I want you to stay on this island to help your junior brothers solve any potential problems."

"Only through practical experience can you grasp the key aspects of certain magic techniques. Besides, since they call you Senior Brother, you bear a weighty responsibility."

The master patted Li Ye's shoulder, his figure gradually disappearing into the halo of the rising sun, waving gracefully:

"Although it's a bit trouble traveling from the Southern Domain to here with the divine mind, the surprises you've given me are indeed plenty.

Apprentice, do not spend all your time in the cave mansion during your leisure; there are plenty of Grotto Heaven Blessed Lands you can apply to enter within our Four Seasons Sect.

You've done well; don't overwork yourself, lest I have to bring you pills for treatment again!"

After saying this, his figure completely vanished.

Only Li Ye remained, bowing respectfully, his words "Master, safe travels" scattering in the sea breeze, transformed into fine spray, reflecting dazzling light in the morning glow.

...

In the time that followed, Li Ye stayed on the island and simply built a small house to accommodate the requests for help from the outer sect disciples.

His planting process was always smooth because he could easily observe and sense the state of the spirit plants, with the assistance of beavers and other little creatures.

But the outer sect disciples occasionally encountered problems like pest infestations, spiritual qi leakage, unknown illnesses…

Even the land itself sometimes presented issues.

During the time Li Ye stayed here, he resolved no less than three hundred various issues.

He helped cultivators renovate courtyards, restructure the earth vein array, and in the end, some Array Masters even entrusted him with the array core map.

He was more than happy to use the array core map to continue honing his skills here; it was indeed a rare experience for him.

After all, he had received various magic techniques personally passed down from True Man Suoxing, and with the help of the panel, any problem faced by spirit plants or spirit beasts could be easily resolved.

Moreover, he always treated people warmly, without the airs of an Inner Sect Disciple, so many cultivators would come to seek his help when in trouble.

Of course, these disciples were all elites from various families and well-experienced loose cultivators; they often brought some spirit stones or specialties as tokens when asking for his help.

Thus, over time, he managed to collect quite a few interesting things.

As summer drew near, when he planned to leave, he was even farewelled by the disciples, with piles of crops and spirit beast materials grown by themselves stacked up high.

"Thank you for your kindness, junior brothers."

Li Ye looked at the densely packed group of disciples in front of him, his fair face still radiant despite the sun and wind, with a gentle smile:

"I will be busy for a while after I return, but if I have time, I will surely come again."

The outer sect disciples beamed with joy upon hearing Li Ye's words.

Having such a powerful inner sect senior brother assisting them made their farming much more comfortable.

Immediately, all the cultivators said in unison:

"Thank you, Senior Brother!"

The sound ascended to the clouds, deafening.

Even Su Ya, who came to pick Li Ye up, couldn't help but feel a bit envious: "Junior Brother Li, have you forgotten about me completely after staying here all this time?"

Li Ye felt quite helpless about this.

"What are you saying, Senior Brother Su."

Truly, when he heard this, he got goosebumps.

Obviously, Su Ya himself felt a bit speechless by his own words and quickly changed the topic: "The sect has prepared a hall for you, with a permanent staff of fifteen cultivators, including myself.

If you have any new things or discoveries in the future, just send them to the hall through the array, and we will study their potential uses."

"Is that so." Li Ye took interest: "Did you find anything with the Lotus Pill and gourd oil I sent before? Any application possibilities?"

Speaking of this, Su Ya became quite spirited, his face brimming with undisguisable joy: "A fellow brother from the Artifact Refining Hall and I have successfully refined spirit pills and magical artifacts containing both Pill Spirits and Artifact Spirits.

Look, here!"

He carefully took out a spirit pill the size of a longan.

The surface of the spirit pill shimmered with three radiant pill patterns and a faint green glow, appearing very peculiar in the interplay of light.

Even more miraculous was the faint silhouette of a spirit cat visible within the pill, curled up snugly, holding its tail, sleeping soundly as if it were a real spirit cat.

[Name]: Profound Pill - Pill Spirit Bai

[Mood]: Curious, Explorative

[State]: Sleeping, Spirituality Deficient

[Bindable]: Can be bound to any spirit plant with a similar level bearing "Dark" spiritual power.

Ah?

This Pill Spirit is considered a spirit beast?

And it can even be bound!

But the suffix behind it is... Could it be a name?

Li Ye tentatively asked, "Senior Brother, this Pill Spirit really looks extraordinarily marvelous. Such a peculiar little thing must have a nice name."

"The other day, I saw someone on the island lazily naming their Spirit Pet something like Little Black, Little Bai. Quite amusing, isn't it?"

"..."

Su Ya's originally smug expression showed a small crack, and he continued to smile rather reluctantly, "Indeed, I'm planning to name this fellow Bai Ling."

—As soon as he finished his sentence, the Profound Pill Pill Spirit·Little Bai on the panel transformed into Profound Pill Pill Spirit·Bai Ling.

Oh~ So that means you can really see the name?

Then why can't you see the names of other Spirit Beasts and Spirit Plants?

This question really can't be explained, and Li Ye didn't care much, instead, he asked, "Do these Pill Spirits have any use?"

"Of course, they are useful!"

"Pill Spirits can dive into the Pill Furnace to help us observe and control the changes occurring during the pill refining process."

"The Spiritual Qi they emit can also affect the quality of the formed pill."

Upon hearing that they can affect the quality of formed pills, Li Ye immediately thought of his Lotus Pills. Can Pill Spirits influence their quality?

"Senior Brother."

"I'd like to buy a few Pill Spirits. Is there a way?"

He directly stated his request.

"I can help you think of a way." Saying this, Su Ya swiftly packed up the Profound Pill and then said:

"Hehe, this little guy is, after all, the first one I've refined, so I can't give it to you."

"I wouldn't go steal Senior Brother's Bai Ling." Li Ye pouted, seeing that they were already at the Transmission Hall to teleport back, so he said:

"I'll first go back to my Cave Mansion to take a look."

"Later I'll go to the sect hall to meet fellow Senior Brothers and Sisters."

"Alright." Su Ya was originally here to show off the Pill Spirit he had refined and to see whether Li Ye had returned.

He also knew that Spirit Plant Masters always worry about their Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts when going out, so he readily said, "Just as well, I'll call them over later. They have some questions for you."

"Okay."

So the two bid farewell.

Li Ye used the Teleportation Array to return to his own Cave Mansion.

As soon as he returned, he saw the first five beavers he had raised lying at the entrance of the teleportation room in the Cave Mansion, each lying on a soft grass mat, obviously taking it as their nest.

Upon hearing the sound of Li Ye returning, they immediately raised their heads in unison, their tiny eyes showing obvious joy, and squeaked around Li Ye for quite a while.

"Alright, alright."

"I know it's been a while since I left."

He could only comfort them one by one and was just about to help the beavers carry their nests back when he saw them calling a few more times, and immediately a dozen beavers came over to carry the nests away together.

That scene... was truly too indulgent!

"..."

"You guys really know how to enjoy life."

Li Ye chuckled silently but didn't interfere further.

The relationships and lives of Spirit Beasts are vastly different from those of the Human Race, just like the current situation where these beavers were evidently enjoying themselves.

Had he intervened, it might have been worse.

Therefore, after putting all the things he had obtained from Island No. 5632 into storage, he began to patrol his Cave Mansion.

He discovered that all the harvests and outputs had already been collected and neatly arranged in his garden by both the beavers and the Wen Yaoyu.

He didn't need to go around picking them up individually.

"Such a relief." He nodded with satisfaction, walking to the river, curious to see if the Profound Water Flood Dragon and Kansheng Potato had undergone any interesting changes.

For instance, a "Potato-born Flood Dragon" wouldn't be impossible.

When he activated the Water Avoidance Technique and entered the river, his eyes widened—he saw that the surface of Kansheng Potato's vines had dragon scale-like patterns, densely covering the entire riverbed.

The Profound Water Flood Dragon was hiding among Kansheng Potato's vines, munching on the elongated and dragon-horn-like Kansheng Potato.

That was barely a normal situation, as odd events tend to happen after symbiotic binding.

But as Li Ye approached the two Profound Water Flood Dragons, he was astonished to find that underneath them were several Kansheng Potatoes.

Those potatoes had undergone more obvious mutations, each snake-like, stretching across the riverbed like a Flood Dragon.

At the vine tips resembling dragon heads, between the two large, nearly dragon-horn-like Kansheng Potatoes, were several crystal-clear potatoes.

Inside them, one could faintly see curled Flood Dragons.

And the panel promptly displayed:

Potato Flood Dragon!

Li Ye almost choked on his own mana, thinking he must have been mistaken.
