Li Ye, who was regarded as an "Immortal" by both a man and a bear, felt very difficult at the moment, as this was merely a fragment of the Earth Book's remnant pages.

Summoning the spring breeze within this small courtyard was already the limit.

Moreover, who knows how long the Earth Book had not been sorted out by a cultivator's means; the spiritual power within was so turbid to an unimaginable degree.

The endlessly flowing Earth Spiritual Power was longing for "soothing."

If Li Ye's power was still present, it wouldn't be impossible to start organizing, but the problem was being at Foundation Establishment Second Layer...

He couldn't pacify these spiritual powers, nor could he inspire their strength for long. Truly letting the spring breeze linger was challenging.

No way.

"Sigh."

He lightly sighed and withdrew his strength.

The fragment of the Earth Book immediately dimmed down.

The warm spring breeze that had been blowing also dissipated with the dimming of the Earth Book, and the bitter cold wind once again shrouded the entire courtyard, causing the previously spirited plants to wither at once.

"Ah..."

"Roar?"

The young man and the bear felt a deep sense of loss from the bottom of their hearts, stretching out their hands to retain that last wisp of remaining spring breeze.

"Don't feel disheartened by it."

Li Ye coughed lightly, then said, "Uncle Master Shenxue must have told you that winter needs to pass for spring to arrive.

Now that the cold winter hasn't faded, naturally, it's impossible to hold onto this faint hint of spring."

Upon hearing this.

The young man anxiously asked, "Dare to ask the Immortal, how can winter pass and spring arrive?"

How can it happen?

Of course, he needs to restore at least to Golden Core Cultivation and go further to set up a massive array based on the Earth Book.

Only then could a place barely have the normal cycle of the four seasons.

——And that's under normal circumstances.

If it's extreme, the difficulty might increase even more.

According to his estimation, this whole world might be shrouded in the power of winter's seasonal force. Even though he's confident, when it comes to the world, it's still difficult.

Otherwise, Uncle Master Shenxue wouldn't have had to guide the cold currents through an array.

"It's difficult."

He didn't sugarcoat it.

Instead, he directly answered, "This matter isn't something that can be solved easily; it may require long-term planning. I can't give you an exact answer."

The young man immediately looked very disappointed.

But he also knew, since even an Immortal said so.

It must be an extremely difficult task.

Therefore, he quickly calmed down, realizing that such matters were indeed too far off, better to solve the immediate problems first.

He cupped his hands and said:

"Immortal."

"I have another request."

Li Ye nodded slightly, "Go ahead."

He carefully took out an object from his clothes... which should be said to be a spirit plant.

It looked like a lotus flower.

But entwined on its petals were strands of something constantly wriggling, pulsating like veins, looking somewhat disgusting.

[Name]: Pengmilian

[Mood]: Bad, extremely hungry

[Status]: A basic spirit plant grain from the Suike Realm, capable of growing in icy, snowy lands. Its lotus pods condense lotus seeds with purifying effects, and its lotus roots produce spiritual objects similar to rice.

The white demonic qi brought by the endless cold winter has invaded its body; it will first fulfill its need for spiritual power rather than producing fruit.

Hmm.

It doesn't have a binding requirement.

Then it can only be resolved with magic or divine techniques.

Li Ye frowned, beckoning the lotus to his hand.

It immediately flew into his palm.

After carefully inspecting and sensing with the divine techniques he could currently utilize, he had come to a decision, lightly tapping his finger.

A white bell appeared slowly.

When gently shaken, it made a "ding-a-ling" sound.

Though the sound was formless, it brought warmth that could melt ice and snow — sunlight.

It descended upon the lotus flower.

The white strands writhing like veins showed a very clear tendency to retreat, yet were still clinging to the lotus like a persistent ailment.

That indicated feasibility.

But the problem was, the power wasn't enough.

Foundation Establishment Second Layer's power was still too low.

Li Ye hesitated for a moment, then drew out Phoenix's firelight, placing it upon the lotus.

This had an immediate effect.

With a "whoosh," the white strands were instantly incinerated by the firelight.

As if they had encountered their nemesis.

"So it's really like this."

He sighed lightly, knowing that Phoenix's fire had an excellent restraint effect on this, yet he currently only had a few eggs.

It was a rootless fire.

It couldn't burn on Li Ye's mana alone.

Unless there was a fire seed of Phoenix's fire.

Fire seed...

Li Ye silently looked towards the shallow snow phoenix-tailed ducks, which had once again piled up into a mound, trying hard to shape the snow into a nest.

The latter felt Li Ye's gaze.

"Quack?"

——What's the matter.

The ducks all looked at him, small eyes filled with big confusion.

"Can you give me a fire seed?"

Hence, Li Ye straightforwardly extended his hand.

"Quack quack."

They seemed to hesitate for a moment, then glanced at the pine tree over the courtyard, whereupon a relatively plump duck waddled over to Li Ye, pointed its finger at its tail feathers.

Gestured for a pluck.

"Let me pull your tail feathers?" After getting a definite answer, Li Ye reached out and gave a firm tug.

A tail feather fell into his hand.

This feather was warm like jade, yet it bore firelight within, throbbing like a heart.

This was undoubtedly a fire seed! A fire seed of Phoenix's fire!
