Just as Li Ye thought.

At this moment, within the Four Seasons Sect.

The Sect Leader looked expressionlessly at the contract in front of him and shrugged to True Man Suoxing, who had hurried over after hearing the news: "Look, here's the good deed your disciple did."

"We were completely unaware, and he went ahead and signed a contract with Bitter Journey Academy."

"In this contract, Bitter Journey Academy mentioned that if successful, they are even willing to share two secret techniques for papermaking, three secret techniques for Jade Scroll production, and an invitation for joint exploration and development of three Grotto Heavens."

He didn't know whether to feel gratified or helpless when he said this.

Bitter Journey Academy controls many secret techniques regarding the circulation of knowledge texts, with papermaking and Jade Scrolls being the main focus. Almost 80% of paper and Jade Scrolls in the Cultivation Realm come from them.

The profits involved are simply unimaginable.

But now they are willing to trade these secret techniques as conditions for exchange.

Wenxing Bamboo.

The Sect Leader also knew such an item.

It seems their Celestial Phenomenon Painting Wall was very close to completion, but these items were still lacking.

"I should make a trip."

True Man Suoxing also finished reading the contract and couldn't conceal his smile: "This kid's knowledge is still somewhat lacking; Wenxing Bamboo is quite significant to Bitter Journey Academy.

I must get him some more benefits."

Saying this, he confidently extended his hand to the Sect Leader: "Brother, give it to me!"

"..."

"Why are you behaving like a child?"

The Sect Leader was almost amused to anger.

But still, he took out his Sect Leader's seal reluctantly, holding this was equivalent to his presence and represented the entire Four Seasons Sect.

It was quite a considerable authority.

However... frankly speaking, even if this were lost and picked up by an outsider, it doesn't really matter. After all, no one would unconditionally obey commands just by seeing the Sect Leader's seal.

If someone actually found it and tried to stir things up, there might be many Nascent Souls eager to give the "Sect Leader" a good beating.

True Man Suoxing casually tossed the seal and then stood up: "Then I'll go have a chat with Mr. Sui, off I go!"

He waved his hand as he walked, departing unrestrained.

The remaining Sect Leader couldn't help but mutter: "Sigh, originally it was you who wanted to be the Sect Leader, yet you pushed all these complicated tasks onto me, and now you're leaving so effortlessly.

Truly inconsiderate!"

After he finished muttering, the Sect Leader got up with resignation.

He still needed to hand this contract over to Senior Sister Tiansui for safekeeping, and if Li Ye could succeed, there would be many follow-up matters requiring assistance from various halls, all of which he needed to coordinate.

"Hmph."

"When I ascend to Divinity Transformation, let's see who will handle this mess!"

The Sect Leader adjusted his robe.

Became spirited again, and left with head held high.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Li Ye obtained a residential garden surrounded by a small bridge and flowing water as his residence.

Su Ya continued to concern himself with the purification of the Grotto Heaven with the disciples, as he couldn't assist with matters here and could only worry about other things.

At the very least, he needed to provide Li Ye with a quiet environment.

"Not bad."

This garden covered a thousand acres.

All buildings within the garden were personally crafted by master builders from Bitter Journey Academy, almost every structure was stunningly beautiful.

——Pavilions and towers with blue tiles and white walls were built along the water in an organized manner. Clear streams sometimes flowed through the courtyard or quietly encircled the houses, stone steps immersed in water allowed a direct walk into the water, entering another place as magnificent as the Dragon Palace.

Willows on the shore drooped over the water surface, fish in the water frolicked freely, and fallen flowers were moved by the wind, swaying amidst the ripples.

"Wow."

"Nascent Soul-level Spirit Vein."

Li Ye didn't even need to look; he knew how abundant the Spiritual Qi was here, the clouds and mist were milky white, each breath brought cool Spiritual Power to the heart.

It was clearly the efficacy of Nascent Soul-level Spiritual Power.

"Truly bleeding out."

He shook his head.

Then casually arranged some arrays.

He then raised his hand, lightly waving it towards the space in front of him——

Five-colored Spiritual Light instantly flashed.

At this moment.

The space was distorted, with the branches of Jianmu forming into a verdant light screen, upon which descended a rather ordinary courtyard, housing a dwelling with blue bricks and red tiles and a grain storehouse.

The small courtyard was naturally the one he initially had in the Huiya Marketplace, the others being the Xiangshui House and the original Wuyou Grain Storehouse.

The Wuyou Grain Storehouse in Dongcang Town had long been replaced by Li Ye, and when town folks entered, they would pass through arrays into the original.

"The external projection of Jianmu's space really is quite tricky."

Li Ye stared at the surrounding verdant light screen, those light screens being the force he used to maintain Jianmu's external space.

Whenever he wished, he could activate Jianmu's space anywhere, anytime.

And within Jianmu's space, he would receive a great enhancement, enough to wrestle with Nascent Souls.

However, the sole difficulty in employing this method lies in the requirement for vast amounts of Mana; if stationary it's fine, but if in motion... even he couldn't last long.

Luckily it can absorb the Spiritual Qi from within Jianmu and the surrounding environment's Spiritual Qi.

So, Li Ye would deploy it this time, intending to use the Spirit Vein of this location to supply Spiritual Power.

"With Jianmu's space activated, then... this Dharma Method should also be attempted."

Li Ye walked into his courtyard, attempting to extend his hand.

The Sun and Moon Ring instantly emerged.

It spun around in mid-air.

"Ding!"

From the radiance it emitted, a vacant piece of land was projected, resting on the table in front of Li Ye.

Within it were clearly visible the Tribulation Fire Spirit and three jars of wine.
