This is just a mont of not thinking clearly.
"Huh."
Li Ye was simply thinking about using this lotus to gain an advantage, but the cultivators of Qiongguan Mountain had already evolved to use this item as an auxiliary magical treasure, truly advancing further.
He didn’t feel particularly discouraged.
Even he would occasionally overlook things, and having soone remind him is a good thing — what’s more, he created this item, allowing more people to research more ways to use it, isn’t it a good thing?
"I see."
"Then I must consider it carefully."
He smiled at Duan Jiurui, "Taoist Friend, you still need to work here for for so ti. If you have no place to stay, it is always inconvenient.
Let’s do this.
This item is for you."
A Jade Pendant representing a store was handed by Li Ye to Duan Jiurui.
Although only fifty were publicly sold, Li Ye, as the creator of the marketplace, actually had a hundred quotas given by the sect as a form of benefit.
Giving this is so much more comforting than any other gift.
The interpersonal relations and exchange of benefits cannot simply be asured in Spirit Stones.
"..." Duan Jiurui silently accepted the Jade Pendant, sighing, "Friend, you should know that my master sent here to forge good relations and get a store quota."
"So what?" Li Ye waved his hand. "You reciprocate, and later we can exchange favors. You have indeed helped greatly, and I repay you with a trivial gift.
This is very normal.
Both of us have long lifespans, many opportunities to work together in the future.
Why say anything that makes us feel awkward?
Ti is on our side."
Only at this mont did Duan Jiurui realize why Li Ye’s network was always so good; he understands everything, comprehends worldly affairs thoroughly.
Yet he remains indifferent; because he knows everything, those with ill intentions can never gain his approval.
Generally, such insight is only found in those elder True n, but Li Ye is only in his twenties, how could he be so discerning?
She let out a deep sigh, "Friend, you truly are unforgettable. It seems we should take things slowly, stay here as long as possible."
Li Ye rely smiled, "That’s naturally good."
Then he looked towards the auction site.
At this ti, the auction price had reached three hundred taels of Tribulation Ash.
Three hundred taels equated to three million Spirit Stone’s worth of Spiritual Qi. This much Tribulation Ash could be freely exchanged for an equal or even greater amount of Spirit Stones, but using Spirit Stones to exchange for Tribulation Ash was impossible.
Don’t consider three million sounding less expensive than the previous Potato Flood Dragon, but the Potato Flood Dragon introduced a completely new species, signifying deep cooperation between sects, while now only cultivators aside from Qiongguan Mountain were bidding for the Tribulation Crossing Immortal Lotus.
The result was naturally obvious.
Ultimately Qiongguan Mountain won the Lotus with twelve hundred taels of Tribulation Ash and Light Spirit rit Tribulation Qi.
Li Ye knew it wasn’t interesting to continue watching, he glanced down at the faintly glowing Jade Talisman on his person.
Understanding dawned.
Indeed, while the auction proceeded here, on the other side negotiations were being carried out with his senior brother.
"Ladies and gentlen."
"I have so matters to attend to, I’ll step away first, we’ll discuss Dao over tea after the auction ends!"
He inford his friends then left.
Upon arriving at the Four Seasons Tower, there was a white-haired elder wearing a gray Taoist Robe with faded Eight Trigram patterns in front of his third senior brother.
Third senior brother looked sowhat fatigued.
The managent of this new marketplace involved too many responsibilities, coupled with Li Ye’s constant scheming, even he was exhausted both physically and ntally. Although the rewards were plenty, it was indeed tiring.
But there was no alternative.
When he joined the sect, senior brothers were there to guide him, and now it was his ti to give back, but unfortunately, the junior brother was a closed-door disciple, unable to experience this "pleasure".
"You’re here."
Third senior brother rubbed his forehead, "This is True Man Yunming, Junior Brother of True Man Yunji from Qiongguan Mountain."
"He wants to discuss the matters concerning the Tribulation Crossing Immortal Lotus with you."
After speaking, he reclined against the back of his chair, adopting a posture letting them handle the conversation.
True Man Yunming expressed goodwill first, "When I achieved Golden Core, it took ninety years, but you beca Golden Core at such a young age with various Spiritual Powers swirling around you.
Truly a youthful hero!"
This was sowhat awkward.
Li Ye chuckled, "Taoist Friend Yunming is interesting, but there are many more talented than in the world, my minor accomplishnts are truly not worth ntioning, not worth ntioning."
"..."
True Man Yunming’s old face twitched several tis.
Minor accomplishnts?
Not worth ntioning?
Why do I feel so uncomfortable, wanting to have a Magical Duel with you?
But realizing that his studies were related to Qi Fortune, encountering soone like Li Ye, who was favored in fortune, inestimably all arrays would crumble, he abandoned the idea.
"Still, True Man Lingye’s words are interesting."
"Speaking of which, True Man should have heard what my senior brother ntioned at the auction, right?"
"To be frank, we are currently trying to unravel a heavenly secret laid down during the defining of Heaven and Earth by various sect’s ancestors."
He swung his sleeve.
A small Spirit Turtle with its shell bearing mysterious Yin Yang patterns appeared on the table.
[Na]: Eight Trigrams Spirit Turtle
[Mood]: Agitated, Troubled
[Condition]: After the ancestor of Qiongguan Mountain learned a Sealing Secret Technique from the River Map and Luo Book, they stored many secrets from the Heaven and Earth Creation era within this lineage of Eight Trigrams Spirit Turtles.
The Spirit Turtle bears a Tao Sound left by an Ancestor Xuanyuan of the Four Seasons Sect, which can be deciphered via the thod of Deduction to achieve enlightening effects.
[Bindable]: Qi Fortune abundant Spirit Plant.
"Have you seen it?"
"This creature is the Spirit Beast our ancestor used to store various Heaven and Earth Creation secrets. The Eight Trigrams on its back carry these secrets, and once unlocked, ancestor voices will be heard."
"Tao Sounds are not easily transmitted, so to unlock the Eight Trigrams on this turtle’s back, one must undergo an extrely violent Celestial Tribulation."
Seeing Li Ye’s unwavering gaze fixed on the Spirit Turtle, Yunming felt further relieved, quickly continuing:
"This Spirit Turtle allegedly contains..."
"Seems it has Ancestor Xuanyuan’s aura." Li Ye calmly uttered words that made the reclining third senior brother sit up straight and almost made True Man Yunming pop his eyes out.
He knew?
How could he possibly know?!
Even their Nascent Soul level divination powers at Qiongguan Mountain spent considerable ti speculating that this contained a Tao Sound from an "Ancestor Xuanyuan" of the Four Seasons Sect.
How did Li Ye just directly see this?
You favored children of heaven, graced with fortune truly defy logic?
Yunming’s heart was tumultuous, yet his expression remained smiling, "True Man Lingye’s eyes are indeed sharp. The Eight Trigrams within this turtle indeed seal a Tao Sound from your sect’s Ancestor Xuanyuan.
It’s said your Ancestor Xuanyuan was the pioneer of all agricultural tools, his creations still used today.
If Xuanyuan Senior’s Tao Sound concerns agricultural tools..."
He deliberately paused aningfully.
No need to say more.
Li Ye was already sure it was Ancestor Xuanyuan’s Tao Sound inside.
No matter how slim the chance.
He would definitely seek to obtain the Tao Sound — words directly from a Great Power inherently possessed so miraculous effect.
Even if there were records in sects or secret tos, nothing compared to the divine "Tao" contained in spoken words by the Great Powers.
Li Ye exhaled deeply.
However, he didn’t agree right away, instead asking curiously:
"Your sect’s ancestors preserved so many Tao Sounds or secrets from other sect’s ancestors?"
"Daring to ask, aren’t you afraid of being reckoned with?"
