That was a seed, gently swaying with intelligence in Li Ye's palm, as if it were coquettishly showing affection.

Was it this seed that killed his overbearing brother?

At this moment, Li Ye was also very surprised. This thing... is one of the Fighting Spirit Plants specifically used by the Four Seasons Sect for magical duels and attacks, known as the "Formless Thorn" seed.

It is said that this thing possesses self-awareness, and when lacking spiritual qi, it pretends to be tumbleweed, rolling with the wind to find a place with abundant spiritual qi to recover, and then continues to patrol.

Here it goes, having absorbed enough spiritual power from Li Ye's side, it gracefully leaped to the ground, transforming into a round grass ball, and rolled away with the wind.

The presence of this thing proves there indeed is some treasure here that the Four Seasons Sect needs to protect.

"Hurry up and follow." Li Ye thought for a moment and collected the wolf's corpse.

"Fine, I'll take you with me!"

He then grabbed Shuang Li's clothes, whose body trembled: "Master, don't you have a Spirit Beast Ring or something like that?"

"Of course I do, but you still need to protect me from danger."

Li Ye looked up at the sky, observing the celestial vein that was falling, his doubts grew clearer—it seemed as if those things were really targeting him.

With this thought, he stepped on golden light once again, searching for the trace of the Formless Thorn, and as a result, the celestial veins falling from the sky really targeted him, continuously heading his way.

If the celestial veins did not possess spatial divine power to change direction during their descent, it was estimated that by now, a group of people would have seen a string of celestial veins falling toward a specific location.

Thus, Li Ye collected celestial vein fragments while on the move.

Both regretfully and joyfully, these celestial vein fragments were all Five-Colored Stones, and in just this short period, hundreds had fallen, roughly enough to cover his upper body.

But there were no other treasures.

Nevertheless, Li Ye was not discouraged; this was already enough.

He continued to run wildly.

Along the way, he also encountered other cultivators, but Li Ye didn't stop at all; he just continued to dash, dragging the tightly closed-eyed and ghastly pale Shuang Li on golden light.

He concealed his own spiritual power fluctuations, but could not hide those that followed him.

Simply like a mother chasing to feed a child, a group of celestial vein fragments chased after him.

He ran ahead, the celestial vein chased behind.

"Who is that?"

"Isn't that a celestial vein fragment behind him?"

"What is he dragging with his hand? Is it a person or is it already dead?"

The cultivators were all puzzled.

Among them, there were also Golden Core True Men attempting to intercept him, but immediately retracted their hands in the face of the torrent of magic Li Ye casually unleashed.

Golden Core! And not just any Golden Core!

As for Nascent Soul... hostile Nascent Soul cultivators were not allowed to enter here.

In this regard, Celestial Vein Sword Mountain was not foolish; how could they allow hostile Nascent Soul cultivators to approach their sect's crucial area?

And those Nascent Souls who were on good terms with Celestial Vein Sword Mountain naturally recognized the aura on Li Ye, and they were very puzzled:

"Isn't that Yang Ke Dao You's disciple?"

"I heard that since entering the Four Seasons Sect, he has been staying within the sect and hasn't visited our disciples, why has he suddenly become so jumpy?"

"That kid running with a long string of celestial vein fragments; reminds me of my youthful days!"

Some Nascent Souls with a penchant for mischief even secretly recorded this with a Memory Pearl.

Planning to have a chat with True Man Suoxing sometime, maybe using the Memory Pearl to score a few liang of Celestial Essence Tea.

After recording, they hurried to Celestial Vein Sword Mountain, as they shouldn't linger too long here.

This place offers opportunities for low-tier cultivators; their opportunities are in the Outer Domain.

It's the rule.

Otherwise, with the power of Nascent Soul, other low-tier cultivators wouldn't stand a chance in vying for celestial veins.

...

A day later.

Li Ye, chasing the Formless Thorn, was forced to stop.

Because he found that the more he chased, the faster that thing ran, until it vanished without a trace.

This was very strange.

Logically, it should willingly lead the way for him, but it vanished after running for a while, and the unique aura that only cultivators of the Four Seasons Sect could detect disappeared with it.

The unconvinced Li Ye searched the surroundings, only to find more wolf corpses underground—according to the information provided by Shuang Li, all should be here.

"Hmm, so you thought I came to find wolf corpses!"

He ultimately had to give up searching, placing the exhausted and weakened Shuang Li into Jianmu, knowing that wolves need proper training; surface submission and respect are not enough.

Then he collected all the wolf corpses, among them were Golden Core wolf corpses, carrying credentials of the Demon Race Royal Court, which would be enough to provoke Sword Mountain when handed to Celestial Vein Sword Mountain.

After dealing with these, Li Ye conveniently dug a pit nearby and took out all the Five-Colored Stones he had collected over the day.

It was really a large pile, enough to cover his whole body and still have some left.

"Really feels like being chased to eat."

Looking at the heap of Five-Colored Stones, he didn't waste time, quickly astral projecting his soul, and began to apply the Five-Colored Stones onto his soul.

After being busy for about half a stick of incense, Li Ye's soul had become extremely "dazzling" —

The surface was formed of splendid golden light of merit, the inner layer was the understated luxury of the Five-Colored Stones' glow, coupled with his slender, proportionate physique and his spring-breeze inducing handsomeness, he could entirely sit in a temple as a deity statue.
