"Hoo."

He let out a long breath, carefully storing away the fire seed in a box, and solemnly bowed to Li Ye, "This fire seed is of great use to me.

It might even influence my future progression.

This truly is a kindness that cannot be repaid; in the future, if you ever have need of me, just speak up."

Li Ye's tone was calm: "As long as it's useful. But looking at Brother Yang... is this thing really that important?"

To him, it wasn't a rare item, but if it held great significance for the Merfolk, then it would make a good commodity.

"I won't hide it from you, Brother Li."

Yang Ke looked at the rapidly retreating sea on both sides of the little boat and said, "Our tribe possesses some special spiritual power within us, which clashes slightly with our ancestral blood.

Sunlight and moonlight are difficult to balance, as is the power of Yin Yang.

The Moon-controlling Spirit Fire is a fire seed that balances Yin Yang, and will be greatly helpful for my future.

If Brother Li has more of these fire seeds, I am willing to trade some precious items for them."

Upon hearing this, Li Ye didn't immediately agree, but instead looked at the increasingly close island that appeared completely blue:

"Let's discuss this further once the matters on Ruoquan Island are finished."

"Alright!"

Yang Ke tapped lightly on the small boat beneath him, swiftly increasing its speed.

"Whoosh—"

A long, white ripple was left across the sea surface, leading into the docks of Ruoquan Island.

On the dock stood a beaver in a grayish-brown robe.

It looked extremely solemn, with no smile on its face.

Even upon seeing the Jade Pendant of a Four Seasons Sect Inner Sect Cultivator hanging from Li Ye's Taoist Robe, it only showed a slight surprise, then extended a claw to inquire:

"Are the two of you here for a meal or lodging?"

"Lodging."

Li Ye squinted and looked at it for a moment, his gaze sharp as if penetrating through it.

"I have heard that Ruoquan Island houses a Ruoxian Pavilion; I'd like to stay there."

"Okay."

"An esteemed Inner Sect Disciple of the Four Seasons Sect has permission to enter."

The beaver swiftly took out a ledger and scribbled on it for a few moments.

"Two rooms at Ruoxian Pavilion, with a daily fee of a thousand Spirit Stones per person."

"Esteemed guests, please pay the Spirit Stones first, and I will escort you both."

It seemed if they did not pay, the creature wouldn't take them there.

"Here you go!"

Without waiting for Yang Ke to take out money, Li Ye directly gave it twenty thousand Spirit Stones, his action graceful yet with a slight pain in his heart.

A daily rate of two thousand Spirit Stones!

If it weren't for seeking the Blood Spirit Whale and hidden treasures, he certainly would feel like a fool to pay it.

"Each of you will stay for ten days."

After collecting the Spirit Stones, the beaver gently stomped on the ground.

The azure ground suddenly began to stir, surging with starry Spiritual Water, enveloping Li Ye and Yang Ke within.

The two felt the air around them ripple like waves, with light and shadow twisting like stirred starlight in their vision.

In the next second,

they found themselves on an island isolated from the outside world—

Beneath their feet, the sand was as fine as silvery frost, each grain wrapped in a cold hue forged by moonlight and the jade-like brilliance of spiritual power.

In the distance, the indigo seawater met the Heavenly Dome, with countless clear blue points of light floating on the wave crests—like dancing starlight, fluid and mysterious.

"This..."

Li Ye frowned slightly.

What surprised him most was the Spiritual Qi emanating around.

Every wisp of Spiritual Qi appeared milky white, actively pouring toward the two like living entities, without the need to meditate or exert effort to absorb.

Fifth Tier Spirit Vein!

Under normal circumstances, this was a privilege only Nascent Soul True Men could enjoy.

It even influenced the environment nearby, giving both sand and surrounding rocks a jade-like brilliance.

These items, if taken and sold, could easily be treated as Spiritual Materials, with Spirit Power-nurtured Spiritual Objects likely to sell well.

The scene finally let Li Ye understand why it was so expensive.

Indeed, it was justified by the price.

Even... he felt it was quite a bargain.
