Finally, he stopped at the boundary between Ink and the Bright Shining Mulberry Tree. The black and white lifelessness of Ink starkly contrasted with the excessively ornate appearance of the Bright Shining Mulberry Tree, like two worlds.

A somewhat dry wind brushed against his cheek, lifeless, a sign of gloom.

Beside him stood a disciple of the Four Seasons Sect.

The latter held a jade tablet, watching the constantly changing spiritual power data while speaking:

"Senior brother."

"Following the method you provided, many offspring of the Dangkang Flower Ginseng Pig have been bred, and the Ink and Water Demon Spirit has also split, completing the basic construction of three Grotto Heavens."

Li Ye nodded: "Well done. Once this matter is settled, I will commend you to the teachers."

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

"Yes!"

The disciple happily left immediately.

After the disciple left, he lifted his gaze to the distance, his clear eyes filled with profound compassion.

"Destruction is so simple, but healing is indeed a long and heavy task."

"To be honest, I haven't used my divine techniques in a long time."

"How about this divine technique?"

One hand gently pressed down.

A terrifyingly vast burst of vitality and spiritual power cascaded from his palm like a waterfall, forming an utterly clear yet rapidly polluted stream as it touched the ground, flowing quickly towards the distance.

In a blink of an eye, it had already flowed across several acres of land.

The stream contained his spiritual power and the 'Sky Clear and Earth Clear' divine technique, continuously absorbing Ink from the places it traversed, with the spiritual power causing an 'explosion,' directly obliterating the Ink completely.

——Visibly, as the river flowed forward, the collision of spiritual power and Ink generated a continuous 'boom,' dust flying everywhere.

Across several hundred acres of land, such explosions sounded one after another, but the effect was really not very good.

Though the collision of spiritual power could drive away the Ink pollution within the land, the surrounding pollution would quickly return, ultimately leading to the awkward situation where the land was harmed without removing the pollution.

Indeed.

If divine techniques could easily remove pollution, Bitter Journey Academy would not have gone to great lengths to seek assistance from Four Seasons Sect.

To others, this place might indeed seem quite challenging, but for Li Ye, it wasn't really troublesome and could even be considered a fertile ground for him to hone his divine techniques.

Because he had the means to completely eliminate the pollution here.

By using Ink and Water Demon Spirit, Dangkang Flower Ginseng Pig, as well as the Bright Shining Mulberry Tree, he could completely dispel the pollution here, all while freely using his divine techniques before the elimination.

Having thought this, he proceeded accordingly.

He unabashedly wielded his divine techniques, whether with explosive or gentle means to remove the pollution, after which the Ink and Water Demon Spirit and Dangkang Flower Ginseng Pig would immediately rush in to plant their spiritual power seeds.

Then, the busy disciples would quickly bring in the Bright Shining Mulberry Tree, completely fixing the area in place.

Time quietly passed.

Until Lv Qingge came visiting, Li Ye withdrew his mana.

His face showed not a trace of fatigue but rather the exhilarating satisfaction of having indulged himself in a bout of divine technique 'rampage,' which improved his mood significantly.

"It's been a while since I've seen Brother Lv; why the sudden visit?"

"Were you perhaps coming to supervise?"

The words carried quite a bit of teasing and banter.

Yet it remained mere banter.

He liked making such insignificant jokes when in good spirits.

Lv Qingge shrugged: "After investigation, this matter is related to the Painting Path, while I walk the Chess Path, so naturally, I need to evade suspicion.

Seeing that Taoist Friend has everything arranged properly, I thought to invite you to see the unique spirit plants and spirit beasts within the academy. It's possible you might gain some inspiration, perhaps?"

Ah, so it's an invitation to go shopping.

Li Ye had no objections and nodded: "Then let me send a message to Senior Brother Su."

Lv Qingge laughed: "I've already informed Taoist Friend Su Ya; he's waiting for us in the Heavenly Ink Collection. Let's proceed over directly."

"Taoist Friend has arranged it conveniently."

"Then let's go; indeed, these recent days I've been entangled with many trivial matters, it's time to take a break and relax."

Just thinking of going shopping made Li Ye feel more relaxed, strolling leisurely and chatting with Lv Qingge as they passed through a portal of ink and water.

Soon enough, they arrived at a bustling marketplace.

This market was highly different from those of the Four Seasons Sect, there practically every marketplace sold all sorts of spirit plants and spirit beasts, resembling a large-scale flower and bird market.

Whereas here, everything was more normal.

Stores lining the roads sold Four Treasures of the Study, along with bookhouses, with Confucian Scholars either gathering in groups or as close friends, discussing various scriptures and classics.

"Over here!"

Su Ya was by the counter of one shop, and upon seeing Li Ye and the others approaching, he waved his hand.

Lv Qingge glanced over and smiled:

"Oh, Taoist Friend Su has already found something interesting; let's take a look, Taoist Friend Li."

Actually, even without needing his words, Li Ye had already seen what was being sold in that shop, pots upon pots of Wenxing Bamboo, except these Wenxing Bamboo had very unique forms with translucent starlight qualities at the top.

More fascinating was that around these Wenxing Bamboo floated seven various-sized stones formed from golden jade spiritual Qi, looking almost like the divine aura behind deities and Buddhas, stunningly beautiful.

Overall, it truly appeared elegant and lovely.

It captivated Li Ye's gaze instantly.

The shop owner was a chubby middle-aged man who seemed acquainted with Lv Qingge, nodding in familiarity.

Then he politely bowed towards Li Ye: "You must be Taoist friends from the Four Seasons Sect. The Wenxing Bamboo sold here were cultivated using the Starlight Divine Water of the legendary Beidou Seven Stars by the elder of Bitter Journey Academy himself.

The ones on display here are Wenxing Bamboo from the Megrez of Beidou Seven Stars."

Li Ye nodded slightly.

"I see."

Actually, the panel had already informed him what this was—

[Name]: Wenxing Bamboo·Megrez

[Mood]: Uneasy

[State]: A special spirit plant nurtured with 'Starlight Divine Water' from the Megrez of Beidou Seven Stars within the Xuanji Celestial Screen of Self-Suffering Travel Academy, cultivating it can harness 'Literary Qi.'

[Can Be Bound]: Literary Vein Dragon Turtle or perform Seven Stars Unification with seven types of Wenxing Bamboo before binding.

Wait.

This binding note.

Li Ye's heart stirred, could it be as he thought?

He immediately asked the owner: "This Wenxing Bamboo indeed looks interesting, but what is its purpose? I heard from Taoist Friend that it was nurtured by the star light of Megrez among the Beidou Seven Stars.

Can Seven Stars Unification be achieved?

What kind of incredible use would that have?"

The owner, evidently experienced, responded without hesitation: "First, about its purpose, keeping it indoors allows Literary Qi to consolidate.

This Literary Qi can serve various purposes; being in an environment rich with Literary Qi naturally enlightens the mind, and these Qi can be used to create multiple magical treasures.

As for Seven Stars Unification…"

The owner shook his head: "I've been running this shop for over three hundred years, yet I've never heard Wenxing Bamboo could achieve Seven Stars Unification. It definitely cannot."

He ended on a note of certainty.

Perhaps there's some mystery behind this?

Nonetheless, doesn't this also prove that my speculation was correct: the panel suddenly giving such hints meant I could achieve Seven Stars Unification of Wenxing Bamboo through Wuyou Grain Storehouse.

Meaning, the panel can evolve—or may transform with the divine techniques under my command.

Currently, I possess Wuyou Grain Storehouse, which can hybridize and graft spirit plants, hence this notification appeared.

That truly is fascinating.
