"Why are you afraid when I'm here?"

"I need your help. After you advance to the Golden Core and inherit the power of this Earth Book, you can help me with many things!"

It was a simple encouragement, yet for the Mist-Imbibing Magnolia Tree, which had always stayed here, going smoothly while receiving the protection and care of Li Ye and considering him a powerful, omnipotent figure, it was as if some Divine Technique had been cast.

"Whoosh!"

A slightly translucent golden flower instantly flew out from the space surrounded by countless flowers and Spirit Bees, directly meeting the first bolt of falling lightning.

In an instant.

Thousands of golden and lustrous magnolias bloomed.

They withstood the lightning, causing countless drops of honey tempered by the lightning to burst forth, sprinkling around like raindrops.

"Hmm?"

Li Ye slightly furrowed his brow.

According to logic, the cumulative effect of a Three-layered Thunder Tribulation should be quite strong.

Why does it feel like it's not painful or itchy?

He lowered his head to look at the glazed bracelet on his hand, discovering that where the bead he used as paint once was, a bead resembling crystallized honey was forming.

Beside it was a purple bead, which had reformed after helping the Weichuan Water God cross the tribulation in Weichuan.

As if blessed with a good heart.

He gained an insight: Though this Magical Treasure was a gift from Celestial Dao, Celestial Dao is lofty; if he could transform the entire string of glazed beads into his own, it would be a true transformation.

Equivalent to the "Proving Tao" process.

"But it was one thing for Weichuan back then, why can even this Mist-Imbibing Magnolia Tree's Golden Core condense into a bead now?"

Li Ye felt that a magnolia tree couldn't compare to Weichuan—this wasn't disparaging, just the truth. If it were this simple, does that mean this Divine Technique has upper and lower limits?

If there really are upper and lower limits, he genuinely should consider whether to use this thing as a material...

Hmm?

Wait.

As a material?

He looked at the bead, gradually forming like honey crystal sugar, and after it fully formed, he directly plucked it off.

Then tossed it towards the distant Mist-Imbibing Magnolia Tree.

Saying, "Use this to refine your Lifebound Magical Treasure!"

"Your current Golden Core Qi, combined with the Thunder Fire raining down from the Heavenly Dome, is just the right time to condense a magical treasure!"

The Magnolia Tree's spirituality promptly seized the bead, starting its refinement with the Celestial Tribulation.

With this bead, the threat of the tribulation noticeably diminished. One could even say there was no threat anymore; crossing the Thunder Tribulation was essentially a certainty.

The bright bead danced with the initially unbloomed flower bud, quickly forming a vague human figure.

Transformation!

For such grass and wood Spiritual Objects, transformation follows after the Golden Core.

Yet, when Li Ye saw the familiar naked silhouette, adorned with a Mist-Imbibing Flower in its hair, his brow incessantly twitched: "No!"

"Don't use my appearance!"

That one was clearly transforming with his appearance!

How could this be acceptable?

"Uh..."

The Magnolia Tree's spirituality, stopped by Li Ye, reluctantly turned into the image of a young man, with a magnolia flower set with a bead on his head.

Looking quite celebratory.

He trembled, approaching Li Ye.

Then cupped his fists and said, "Master!"

A fresh floral scent mixed with honey wafted from him unceasingly, the aroma carrying an ethereal spirituality.

With the dissipation of the tribulation clouds and the warm celestial light casting down, he seemed to glow, handsome...just a little bit inferior to Li Ye.

[Name]: Mist-Imbibing Magnolia Tree · Tree Immortal

[Mood]: Joyful

[State]: A Tree Immortal of the Mist-Imbibing Magnolia nurtured by both the Earth Book and Glazed Honey Pearls, capable of bestowing all tree spirits and Queen Bees who helped him become a "Tree Immortal" the title of "Deity."

However, the range is limited to the area covered by the Earth Book's remnant pages.

[Bindable]: Can bind indefinitely with Spirit Plants belonging to the "Magnolia Lineage" until the power provided by the Earth Book's remnant pages reaches its limit.

Finally, success.

Watching it transform from just a tree back then to now a Tree Immortal, Li Ye couldn't help but feel sentimental.

"Magnolia Tree Immortal."

"From now on, you'll be called Li Yulan."

"But about your appearance..."

Li Ye reached out, touching the young man's head, feeling a slight resemblance in his eyebrows and eyes, although not entirely similar, but clearly fashioned after his likeness.

"Hehe." The young man scratched his hair, golden pupils full of admiration: "To resemble you is my honor."

After crossing the three Thunder Tribulations, his intelligence seemed to soar suddenly, indistinguishable from that of a human.

Alright.

Since it has turned out this way, there's no returning him to the tribulation for a redo.

Li Ye temporarily accepted this.

He rubbed the young man's head again: "After advancing to Golden Core, what powers have you gained?"

"What help can you offer me?"

Li Yulan, like a braggart child, took Li Ye's hand and led him to the area where the Mist-Imbibing Magnolia Tree was rooted.

Underneath the colossal magnolia tree, small magnolia trees were growing. These magnolias...were all Primordial Spirit Plants, purely formed of Spiritual Qi.

And each magnolia bore only one blooming Mist-Imbibing Flower.

The flower's disc, like a jade plate, held a sticky, vividly colored essence of various spirits, some of which were ethereal honey.

No.

Not merely Primordial Spirit Plants, but also soul bodies!
