[Name]: Earth Ant Royal Family[Mood]: Shocked, Self-doubt, Hesitant, Uneasy.hreads or perhaps... insect eggs wriggled repeatedly, looking quite unsettling.
Ant C presented this intending to boast, confident it was unique to their world, unheard of here.
For Spirit Plant Masters, such objects were incredible lures.
However, Li Ye glanced at it briefly and nonchalantly said:
"Ah, so it’s this."
"The external Crystal Stone is likely the resin of the Cannabis Fruit Tree, the inside is a Spirit Seed called Profound Strange Fungus you cultivated, used to nourish puppets, which is more of a sacrificial and filling method."
"Nothing special."
Ant Race members: "..."
They exchanged bewildered looks.
Even the forward stations of the Four Seasons Sect and Mo Family had only obtained some samples, without knowing the internal names of these Spiritual Objects.
Yet this True Man Lingye knew instantly?
To say they were instantly covered in cold sweat would be an understatement, but it wasn’t far off.
Li Ye observed all their expressions keenly.
These folks dared to flaunt Spirit Plant and Spirit Beast products at him? With the panel in hand, any disclosure was just an "instruction manual" to expand his knowledge.
Ant C awkwardly said, "We didn’t bring many treasures with us, only this item as a tribute to True Man Lingye, please accept it!"
"Thanks." Li Ye casually received the resin and stored it in the Jianmu, where Jianmu’s Spiritual Power began analyzing its internal force composition.
Then he straightforwardly stated: "Since you’ve come here, you must have intentions to ally with our Four Seasons Sect.
Share your true intent.
After all, I have many Taoist Techniques to research, no time to beat around the bush — although I promised my Senior Brother to host you, you should know my status.
Even if we forcefully detain you, no one dares to comment."
Speaking thus, he casually molded a small clay house, injected Xiangshui Divine Techniques into it with a finger, causing glowing watery ripples.
A wondrous abode!
This scene made Ant C, who planned to speak, swallow his words and smile: "We indeed wish to cooperate with your esteemed sect."
Upon his words, the noticeably elder Ant Race members were slightly stunned, but none objected — arguing before a major sect and real power Golden Core True Man only invites ridicule.
And regardless of what the Prince suggested, they would support him.
"However..." Ant C remembered his mother’s instructions and added, "We wish to acquire a tract of land in your sect to freely develop."
Li Ye remained silent, merely gazing at him.
His clear pupils reflected them all, feeling as if enveloped in a suffocating, special space.
Until Ant C was thoroughly drenched in sweat, Li Ye slowly said: "Our Four Seasons Sect is vast, a piece of land indeed isn’t much.
But you must prove your worth.
How will you persuade me to personally request a land for you to rest — if I apply, it will surely afford you unimaginable benefits."
Ant C didn’t hesitate this time.
He took out a mottled, yellowed page from a close-fitting pouch, barely an inch in size, exuding indescribable spirituality and profound earth aura from the moment it emerged.
As if this small page bore the vast land, lush with vegetation and flourishing life, rivers and streams chattering, finally forming a pearl-like lake.
Li Ye stared at the page.
He planned to proceed carefully, but the other party unsuspectingly offered this treasure at once.
An Earth Book replica remnant.
Ant C decisively knelt, presenting the page with both hands:
"I wish to exchange this treasure for the protection of your sect!"
"My mother instructed me to bring this upon leaving; she bore six sons; each holds a page of this treasure."
He dared not look into Li Ye’s eyes.
Those clear eyes seemed to see through all his plans.
The surrounding Ant Race members all knelt, bowed heads, daring not even to release Divine Sense, awaiting the fairy-like True Man Lingye’s decision.
Time trickled by second by second.
Finally.
Li Ye spoke: "Okay."
The sound felt heavenly, relieving these Golden Core-level Ant Race members at once.
Sweat dripped continuously to the ground.
The pressure indeed was terrifying!
The mottled, yellowed page automatically flew into Li Ye’s hand.
From Ant C’s palm, it initially showed no sign, suddenly radiating endless rays.
Seemingly.
As if impatiently awaiting.
