Upon sensing the characteristics of this Spiritual Qi, he immediately thought of many places where it could be used.

More terrifyingly, if it weren't for Li Ye discovering it through the power of the Potato Flood Dragon, he might never have known that this Spiritual Qi, seen as an ailment to mortals, had such an effect.

He took a deep breath, putting aside his distractions.

He spoke to a dark-skinned man before him, who was facing away, "It will hurt a bit, but it will soon get better."

"Ah!"

The man was quite uneasy, but in the next breath, he felt the soreness entwined in his bones, which ached whenever it was cloudy or rainy, gradually fading away.

This feeling of comfort made him moan involuntarily and think of something, "It seems a doctor treated me like this before. It felt just as good at the time, but afterwards it became more and more painful, worse than before."

"Oh?"

Li Ye extracted a portion of the cold Spiritual Power, then used his pure Spiritual Qi to help with healing, and only then asked with interest, "Was he a cultivator like me?"

It was during the healing process that he discovered traces of Spiritual Power having been used to remove this cold Spiritual Qi before, but the person seemed to have cut it like chives, leaving a part behind after cutting a bit.

Thinking about it carefully, it was quite unnerving.

The man shook his head:

"I really don't know.

"But the elderly one lives on the mountain beside Zhouhu City."

"After we earn money from fishing, we often ask him to prescribe some medicine for us."

He pointed to a towering peak in the distance, which looked a bit gloomy even under the bright sky.

"Well, I truly should pay him a visit."

Li Ye really couldn't sit idly by while someone treated mortals as if they were a medicine field. This was, after all, the territory of the Four Seasons Sect, so how could such an almost Demon Path thing occur?

Besides, with the Four Seasons Sect's control over their territory, how could there be an unknown cultivator living here?

He was very curious.

After saying this, golden light appeared beneath his feet.

In an instant, he turned into a fleeting shadow, disappearing into the distance.

Before the fishermen even realized, Li Ye had arrived at Zhouhu Mountain.

In front of him was a very rustic courtyard with people coming and going, with many seeking medical advice and buying herbs.

There were not only fishermen living by the lake but also ordinary people from the surrounding waters who depended on the water for their livelihood.

It was surprisingly lively.

He didn't enter but chose to operate his Spiritual Qi.

He gently blew a breath towards the courtyard.

"Whoosh—"

His Spiritual Power, almost indistinguishable from a Golden Core, transformed into a gust of wind that swept over the courtyard. Inside, a cultivator sitting in meditation silently opened his eyes.

"Sigh."

The cultivator sighed slightly, "In the end, I've been found out. If I don't go out, the next thing coming might be the Celestial Sound Thunder Punishment."

He was well aware of where he was, so he dared not harbor any wishful thinking, turning his figure into an escape light, arriving before Li Ye.

"Yang Ke Dao You."

He bowed respectfully to Li Ye, introducing himself without waiting to be asked, "My secular name is Bai, one of the Bai Ling from the Jianmu Grotto Heaven."

Li Ye squinted his eyes.

The panel clearly displayed this "cultivator's" identity—

[Name]: Jianmu Bai Ling · Bai Shunfeng

[Mood]: Uneasy, Fearful, Worried

[State]: A being nurtured to humanoid form by the Wish Power of the Jianmu World, essentially a Bai Ling Hedgehog.

Is he actually an "Immortal" from the Jianmu World?

Li Ye knew that on the Jianmu World's side, due to belief and Wish Power, some Spirit Beasts could possess different powers, transforming into worldly "Immortal Families".

It was the result of legends passed down among the people, and also part of the Four Seasons Sect's plan to create immortals.

Once they achieved perfect Merit in the Jianmu World, they could come to the broader Cultivation Realm to continue cultivating.

Generally speaking, such "Immortals" couldn't leave the territories of the Four Seasons Sect, becoming their stationed guardians, defending the vast lands the sect couldn't fully control.

But...

"The immortals near the Huiya Marketplace, as I recall, are registered as two Snake Immortals."

Before, he didn't think it would be an "Immortal" because each region's immortals had to be registered; usually, wild Immortals wouldn't appear.

So this wild "Immortal" is?

Bai Shunfeng displayed a bitter smile, "You must have found out about what I'm doing to have come here. Please follow me."

The rather plump and short Bai Xian extended an invitation, leading Li Ye into the depths of the mountain.

Soon, they arrived at a nursery.

Inside the nursery... were planted numerous ginseng plants.

And they were the very familiar Earth Demon—oh no, it should be called Earth Spirit Ginseng.

The Earth Spirit Ginseng had a translucent hue, with internal growth like a human with meridians. Even its root fibers closely resembled human limbs, some even grew human faces.

"Li Erniu, Wang Dagou..."

Li Ye saw small wooden plaques tied to the red threads of the Earth Spirit Ginseng, with human names written on them.

This truly baffled him, so he simply turned his head to Bai Shunfeng and asked, "Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

Bai Shunfeng didn't hide, answering, "I want to cultivate this thing using the ailments of mortals with intertwined vitality and Spiritual Qi, making its roots into Spirit Medicine capable of eradicating such diseases.

In the Jianmu World, Spiritual Qi possesses the power to turn decay into miracles; even by just breathing a bit of Spiritual Qi upon mortals could cure them of all ailments and extend their lifespans.

Then I wondered if it could be possible to cultivate Spiritual Qi specifically to combat these diseases, allowing mortals to develop complete immunity to such ailments.
