Considering that there may be unexpected situations here.

Li Ye and Senior Sister Gu directly escorted this red-robed cultivator to a secret room in the Four Seasons Tower.

This guy had Golden Core level demon beast flesh within him and was exploiting cultivators in the marketplace, clearly affecting the stability of the East Pole marketplace.

In such cases, even a Nascent Soul must honestly accept the investigation of the Four Seasons Sect; anyone who dares to provoke them in this matter never ends well.

Of course, this matter wasn't hidden from the Blood Spirit Sect either.

The True Man stationed at the East Pole marketplace from the Blood Spirit Sect was instantly furious upon hearing that someone from his sect had been taken away by the Four Seasons Sect.

But when he rushed over anxiously, he was directly invited for tea by a Golden Core from the Four Seasons Sect.

This Golden Core was a female cultivator with some fish scale patterns on her forehead and wrists. She spoke very gently, but her methods were very tough.

"Since the youngsters want to handle it themselves, why should we old folks intervene? Taoist Friend, just wait here for the result with peace of mind."

She specifically poured some Crystal Honey sent by her nephew Yang Ke, making her attitude very clear.

The Golden Core from the Blood Spirit Sect could only sit there with a bitter smile.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Li Ye stared at the red-robed cultivator and said:

"The flesh of the Blood Spirit Whale."

"Taoist Friend, what's your purpose in both consuming the Golden Core demon beast's flesh and feeding it with blood?"

Li Ye didn't hide anything either.

His current identity is that of a disciple of a Nascent Soul True Man from the Four Seasons Sect, so even if he knows some strange things, it's understandable, and the status his identity brings allows him some freedom of action.

"!!!"

The red-robed cultivator's pupils trembled violently.

He discovered the Blood Spirit Whale from an ancient text, painstakingly finding clues at a trench in the East Pole Yang Sea.

He didn't expect the cultivators of the Four Seasons Sect to know about it.

No wonder this Taoist Friend, despite being just at Foundation Establishment, could easily suppress the flesh; maybe he'd been watching him all along.

He knew it was very difficult to do anything on the Four Seasons Sect's territory, and his former good fortune had now completely turned into helpless regret.

If he didn't confess honestly, he'd likely end up planted in a tree.

So, after a deep sigh, he confessed honestly:

"I read in an ancient book that there's a demon beast called the Blood Spirit Whale in the East Pole Yang Sea. It can devour Golden Sand's blood to condense Golden Sand..."

As he revealed more, Li Ye finally understood some of the circumstances.

It turns out this guy found an ancient text from somewhere, claiming that in the past, the Golden Sand race used to cultivate special Golden Sand Spirit Fields.

These spirit fields were formed by Sunlight Essence, which could enhance the effect of any Spirit Plant planted in them and imbue them with the yang qi of sunlight.

And the Blood Spirit Whale could devour the blood of the Golden Sand race's descendants and extract the Golden Sand from the blood.

He had once offended a high-ranking Golden Core True Man from the Four Seasons Sect, so he wanted to offer the Golden Sand Spirit Field as a gift to see if he could resolve the grudge.

Of course, using the Blood Spirit Whale to augment his mana for personal gain was considered quite normal.

As he laid everything bare, Senior Sister Gu's expression grew more peculiar.

In the end, Senior Sister Gu bowed toward a certain spot in the void: "Master Uncle, how should we handle this matter?"

A trace of Golden Core aura flowed out.

Soon, a gentle voice, as soft as water, spoke: "The prisoner you captured, the rewards should indeed be yours.

Just go ahead and do it; the East Pole Yang Sea belongs to our Four Seasons Sect."

After these words, the aura vanished.

Li Ye looked up in that direction.

The Golden Core aura felt somewhat familiar, even carrying a bit of the gentle moisture from the ocean, somewhat like Yang Ke.

Although the merfolk's mana naturally carries a bit of oceanic spiritual energy, the oceanic aura of Yang Ke and his lineage is warm, not particularly cool.

It's very distinctive.

Could it be that this Golden Core also has some relation to Yang Ke?

While he was pondering, Senior Sister Gu had already inscribed all the extracted information into a Jade Scroll and handed it to Li Ye:

"Junior Brother."

"You're already a Spirit Plant Master; you wouldn't mind also raising a demon beast, right? I won't get involved in this, treasure hunting is really too tiring."

"I'll escort him to Liuyue Prison; if more can be extracted, it'll count as credit for both of us."

After giving the Jade Scroll to Li Ye, she got up and left, taking the red-robed cultivator with her.

The guy had violated the Four Seasons Sect's rules. While the crime wasn't punishable by death, he couldn't escape a severe punishment. She didn't care about the treasure, but she did care about the credit.

Of course, Li Ye didn't mind giving Senior Sister Gu some credit.

After she came, she was very diligent in attending to him, busying herself here and there. Even if there's camaraderie between fellow disciples, it needs to be maintained somehow.

"So still going treasure hunting?"

Honestly, it's been so long, and he hadn't really been treasure hunting outside, so he was actually a bit curious about what treasures were hidden in the place with the Blood Spirit Whale.

However, he would still need a guide to assist him.

...

"You finally arrived!"

"Taoist Friend Li!"

Yang Ke very warmly welcomed Li Ye, bringing him into a quiet room in the shop.

This quiet room had already prepared some specialties from the East Pole Yang Sea—a large table full of various seafood and ocean Spirit Plants.

There were massive crabs the size of millstones, shrimp with dragon horns, strings of grape-like sea grapes resembling crystal, sea algae...

These spiritual materials were clearly of top quality, probably nearing the Fourth Tier; just stepping into this room, one could feel the overflow of spiritual qi from the table.
