Chapter 288: Chapter 190: Resolving the Petition, Weichuan’s Clarity Over Ten Thousand Miles

This Li Ye was well aware of. If there were other sources of income outside the marketplace yielding so many Spirit Stones,

it was certainly from those cultivators, just like that past Senior Brother Shu who never dared to reach directly for the mineral veins.

Some income is acceptable, but too much...

The Law Enforcement Cultivators of the Four Seasons Sect will not show mercy.

Li Ye even felt a bit sorry for them, as they not only had to manage the marketplace but also dig into their own pockets to fill gaps.

But why is it always a lack of food?

He would have to see for himself to find out.

"Hoo."

And that was the end of it.

He stretched lazily, having stayed there for a full half year, and this was only possible because the True Men’s sermons were quick; otherwise, it wouldn’t have ended in even one or two years.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Senior Brother Three had been waiting there during this time. He came over and patted Li Ye on the shoulder, then lowered his voice and said, "You have no idea how satisfied the Uncles are with you!"

— Actually, he didn’t have to say it at all, as the True Men leaving one by one with pleasant expressions and greeting him showed everything.

But when Li Ye waited for the True Men to leave and left with Senior Brother Three, his expression collapsed:

"Senior Brother, you don’t know that having to learn so much in this half year is an enormous challenge for me.

It really exhausted me!"

This was indeed true. With so much knowledge, even though he had an excellent talent and Divine Techniques like the Emotion Song facilitating understanding, remembering and mastering everything wasn’t easy.

What’s more terrifying is that this is still basic knowledge. If in the future he creates new species of higher levels, he would have to study even deeper and profound knowledge.

After all, he must understand the principles behind them; otherwise, if released recklessly, it would surely plant seeds of disaster for the future.

Poor him hesitated for so long and never really learned any Arrays or similar paths, but now he was forced to become "versatile," with further studies required in the future.

The thought of such a future made him feel utterly exhausted.

Senior Brother Three laughed heartily beside him: "Why else do you think Master didn’t arrange for you to learn other knowledge? Why is a powerful Spirit Plant Master held in such high regard?

It’s simply because they learn a lot.

No matter the situation, they always have a solution.

Solely focusing on agriculture and retreating into a Cave Mansion in isolation definitely won’t work.

Alright, alright, don’t make such a gloomy face, why don’t you lift your head and look over there?"

He held Li Ye’s head and pushed it in a certain direction.

The distant scenery instantly appeared before Li Ye’s eyes – it was a clear and gentle flowing water region, spanning thousands of miles.

Within the water region, every so often stood a Beaver-built dam, varying in size, some so massive they resembled palatial structures.

Each dam guided the aquatic Spirit Beasts above the water, smoothing the tumultuous flow, and each dam was uniquely connected, forming a continuous chain.

These countless dams divided the vast thousand-mile water region into a separate "kingdom" belonging to the Beavers.

The Beavers inside were chirping, catching fish, and playing around.

Looking up, there was none of the violent, murky, raging currents of the previous Weichuan, only breathtaking beauty.

"These are the Beavers..."

Li Ye just whispered to himself when five Lotus Seats with Beavers holding Treasure Lotus Lamps quickly flew over, darting toward Li Ye like fireballs.

They clung to him instantly, chirping excitedly and snuggling against him affectionately nonstop.

These enthusiastic, chubby, soft little fellows were a bit heavy, but to a Golden Core cultivator, they didn’t matter at all.

Their enthusiasm made Li Ye’s thoughts immediately scatter away.

Looking down, his eyes saw only their reflections in the Beavers’ eyes. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Crystal clear, yet dazzlingly bright.

This unconsciously softened his expression.
