The binding was completed quickly.

After the binding was completed, there seemed to be no significant changes.

The Wangshu Jade Rabbit held the Axe Spirit, still itching to try it out.

However, one could detect a particularly fragrant herbal aroma emanating from the Axe Spirit.

"Senior Brother."

"Can we chop this?"

"I really want to chop this..."

In theory, the rabbit's eyes should be as pure as red Spirit Stones, but right now, they were reddish.

Yet, there were no abnormalities on the panel.

Li Ye simply nodded, "Go ahead and chop..."

The moment the words fell.

"Crack!"

A Flint Fire Crystal Insect was directly chopped.

No.

What was chopped was the soul of the Flint Fire Crystal Insect!

And during the chopping process, Li Ye faintly smelled a deep osmanthus fragrance, as if he saw a giant osmanthus tree towering over the sky.

A well-built man wielded an axe, chopping at the osmanthus tree.

But the osmanthus tree kept growing.

There was no sign of it being chopped down at all.

The infinite vitality seemed to overflow with the fragrance of osmanthus, almost drowning a person.

Indeed.

It truly is related to "Wu Gang Cutting Osmanthus."

It seems that after binding with the Axe Spirit, these Jade Rabbits indeed acquired a peculiar "osmanthus chopping" power.

But is Wangshu connected to Wu Gang Cutting Osmanthus?

At least, based on the information currently available to Li Ye, the two should have no connection—perhaps only Wangshu herself knows the truth.

But why?

Li Ye raised his head and looked to the sky.

The moonlight still shimmered brightly.

Clearly, the ancestor Wangshu should have already awakened, and their interactions have been lively, yet she consistently refuses to meet him.

The master once said that if ancestor Wangshu awoke, she would definitely meet him immediately, which is strange.

He shook his head, withdrew his gaze.

He carefully observed the Flint Fire Crystal Insect that was already joyously rooting around, with a glint of surprise in his eyes.

"Huh."

"It seems, it won't die?"

"In theory, this should have failed already, but it hasn't died, so... is this the effect of binding?"

Then, looking at those Wangshu Jade Rabbits, which seemed eager to chop more, his mouth twitched slightly.

Although after the binding, their chopping success rate seemed to increase, watching them chop mindlessly even made Li Ye a bit nervous.

After all, the Spirit Beasts and Spirit Plants here were carefully nurtured, even if their chopping didn't kill, it still pained Li Ye.

So they might as well go out and make some money for themselves!

Then he said:

"I'll find a good place for you."

"You'll definitely like it."

The Jade Rabbits all simultaneously looked at him, as if their moonlight-woven fur shimmered, but the axe in their hands seemed to grow larger, just... indeed, a bit strange.

Hopefully, the senior brothers won't be too shocked when they see them later.

...

Four Seasons Treasure Pavilion.

As the auction house of the Qingqiu Fox Race, although auctions were held here all the time, there were still interesting items.

Such as the gambling house for Qi Fortune here.

However, unlike typical casinos, there was no price to pay here, requiring neither Spirit Stones nor collateral.

As long as you're willing to come, as long as you're a disciple of the Four Seasons Sect.

Every month, you can come to test your Qi Fortune for free, and if you're lucky, you might even leave with Golden Core or Nascent Soul-level treasures.

"It's practically like doing charity."

"Taoist Friend Hu, there must be some deeper meaning here, right?"

Li Ye walked through the Four Seasons Gambling House, which didn't resemble a gambling den at all, but rather a tea house, curiously observing his surroundings.

The cultivators played a very simple game, just tossing a single die, which would show different numbers from one to nine.

When the die stopped, depending on the number, a jade box would appear from the void and be handed directly to the cultivators.

Honestly, it was his first time here.

After all, whenever he had spare time, he'd prefer to stay home in his Cave Mansion or remain in his abode, even basking with a Beaver would be more comfortable than wandering around.

Upon hearing his inquiry, Hu Tong gave a slight smile.

Many cultivators shared such doubts.

She explained:

"Actually, this place is intended to test the cultivator's Qi Fortune."

"Moreover, it's a way to provide some free benefits for cultivators, it's not too thrilling when given directly to hand, but gambling for it makes one feel their luck is quite good."

"Would Senior Brother like to give it a try?"

Hu Tong warmly recommended.

She was curious to see if a cultivator with such great Qi Fortune like Li Ye could roll the highest nine.

The last one to roll a nine was True Man Suoxing.

"I'd rather not."

Li Ye shook his head, released the Jade Rabbits from the Jianmu, and said: "With their axe chopping, there's a certain probability that a Spirit Plant or Spirit Beast will be split into two or healed of incurable diseases."

"But there's also a chance nothing changes, and it becomes weaker from being chopped."

"Oh?" Hu Tong's eyes lit up, she smiled: "That seems perfect for our Four Seasons Gambling House. I'll assist Senior Brother in opening a small outlet."

"Rest assured, your name won't be disclosed."

With that, she summoned a Fox Race woman and whispered a few words to her.

The latter quickly and excitedly left.

Soon, a powerful cultivator controlling the Four Seasons Gambling House created an all-new hall through space techniques, while Fox Race cultivators began to spread the word:
