"Sigh."
"In the end, I still forgot to entrust you all to Uncle Master Shenxue."
Upon erging, Li Ye realized that those pots were still asleep, utterly exhausted, inside his world.
But there was no helping it.
Uncle Master Shenxue seed to have pressing matters to attend to.
I guess the future planning of this place will require Uncle Master to put in so thoughtful effort.
If it’s impossible to go to Uncle Master Shenxue’s side, there’s still a good place to go, and I estimate they will soon invite over.
So there’s no rush to do anything.
"Then I’ll head back, take a break, and sort through the harvest from this ti."
With this in mind, Li Ye soon returned to his Cave Mansion.
This ti he hadn’t been away long, but each ti he returned, the little creatures in the Cave Mansion would co out deliberately to greet him.
The Spiritual chanism Vine chattered on the side, "During your absence, the developnt of the Cave Mansion proceeded as usual, with a total harvest of twelve million three hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones..."
Li Ye listened quietly.
He paced slowly, his eyes filled with relaxation and ease.
When he walked into the familiar courtyard, he laid on the recliner and took out that Heavenly Heart Spiritual Jade.
And lightly tossed it toward the sky.
"Whoosh—"
The Spiritual Jade instantly transford into a gentle yet cold wind, centering on the small courtyard and blowing through the entire Cave Mansion in an instant.
And then.
The eternally warm and mild heavenly do suddenly gathered a trace of dark clouds.
Within them seed to be extrely mysterious patterns spreading from the dark clouds throughout the entire Cave Mansion, intertwining like the roots of plants.
Before long.
Light and airy snowflakes began to drift down.
At first, they sparkled like silver flakes with Spiritual Light, but in the blink of an eye, they turned into a heavy snowstorm, accumulating rapidly into a thick layer on the ground.
The Spirit Beasts, caught off guard, hurriedly retreated into their nests.
Especially the beavers that were lounging on their dam with bellies exposed to the sun. When had they ever seen such a spectacle?
Ever since arriving at Li Ye’s place, they had been enjoying the warm sunlight and had long since lost their tolerance for the cold. They only reacted when the snowflakes landed on their bellies.
One by one, they leaped up, scampering and crawling back into the dam, squealing in both fear and excitent as they peeked out nervously.
So of the bolder ones rode on their crafted Flying Artifacts, soaring freely within the snowy winds, enjoying this wind and snow imbued with Spiritual Qi.
In the distance.
Amidst the Mist-Imbibing Magnolia groves glowing faintly, Li Yulan looked up at the falling snow, the Earth Book fragnts in her hands constantly shifting.
Nurous Crystal Spirit Bees hurriedly carried the falling snowflakes, each Spirit Bee adeptly grasping a snowflake, using its honey to maintain the snowflake’s stability, transporting it into the hive.
The foundation of Jade Orchid Spiritual Land is the Sunlight Spirit Land.
Although Mist-Imbibing Magnolia Trees and Crystal Spirit Bees require sunlight, over the decades, far too much "Yang Qi" has accumulated.
Winter’s snow does not consist purely of Yin Qi, but of the "repose" force from the harmony of Yin and Yang, perfectly suitable for the overly Yang Qi-laden Mist-Imbibing Magnolia Trees.
Those snowflakes will be moved into the hive and cover those places where the honey brewing occurs. This winter snow will transform into a Spiritual Object that triggers a qualitative change in the honey, potentially leading to a transformation in the honey’s quality by the end of winter.
"Is this what they call a good year’s snow for bountiful harvests?"}
Li Yulan smiled slightly, setting her scroll aside, looking up at the sky, and soon drifted into a deep sleep.
Her gentle breathing was whisked away by the wind, accompanying the increasingly heavy snow to far-off places.
The Profound Water Flood Dragons peered out, then recoiled back into the river water, stirring it briefly before settling deep into the nests ford by countless Potato Flood Dragons, occasionally gnawing a bite when hungry.
In the Gourd Spiritual Land.
The Spiritual Light driven by the Five Elents was covered by snow, the Gourd Spirit Turtles retracted inwards, the Gourd Vines drooped, and the lamp flas of the Lamp Wax Flowers flickered weakly, twinkling like soone struggling to blink and stay awake amidst the wind and snow.
But eventually, the flas dimd, extinguishing for the first ti, allowing it finally to enjoy this rare period of rest.
Scenes like this unfolded throughout the Cave Mansion—Bamboo Wood Ants, Golden Red Dragon Carps, Earth Demon Ginsengs, Spirit-Uniting Lotuses, and the Blood Spirit Whales in the Sea Spirit Land...
Everything beca silent, enveloped by the snow, peaceful and quiet.
The entire Cave Mansion seed to quiet down.
Only in the once quiet Moonlight Spirit Land, crystalline butterflies, seemingly condensed from moonlight, flapped their wings, accompanied by Flint Fire Crystal Insects and Silver Moon Grass, began flying everywhere.
—Previously, they could not leave this Spirit Land, but now real winter arrived, effectively lifting their constraints; naturally, they had nothing to fear anymore.
The Cave Mansion was large enough for them to fly everywhere.
Seated on his bamboo lounge chair, Li Ye visually absorbed the entire scene of the Cave Mansion; it did not appear as if any significant change took place.
But he knew very well.
The four seasons are the foundational structure of the world.
Especially spring and winter, one symbolizes the beginning of life waking up, while the other embodies the repose of all things, always linked, yet separated by the sumr and autumn so vastly.
"Just three more seasons."
"And my Cave Mansion can transform into a true Grotto Heaven."
Li Ye murmured to himself.
But three seasons are no easy feat.
It was a gift arduously acquired by burning an entire plane of existence with Tribulation Fire, a clearly demanding task ahead.
