But Su Huan refused without hesitation: "The Fetal Light is the soul of the Supreme Clarity and Harmony. If it is not transformed, it cannot communicate with nature and the Celestial Dao.

This refreshing soul is related to my merit and karma. Everything I owe to my family, I must transform to repay it.

As for the Ghost Essence... If I don't transform it, I'm afraid as my consciousness dissipates, it will evolve into a new consciousness occupying the Earth Vein Spirit Willow, and such a hidden danger cannot be left."

You are truly ruthless.

Li Ye had no choice but to continue the engraving.

Time passed slowly like this.

Finally.

Li Ye spent a full half a month to barely complete the transformation's Spirit Pattern, engraving it from the sea of consciousness in the Dantian to the three souls and seven spirits, ready to operate with just a thought from Su Huan.

"Thank you, young friend."

"When the banquet comes and I undergo transformation, the first flower will be given to you."

Su Huan smiled as he saw Li Ye off.

After Li Ye left, he sat quietly under the tree, gazing at the distant Su Family mountains still clear in his memory, and sighed softly:

"It's been many years since we last met, and now it is farewell forever."

"Demon-Suppressing Tree... So this is the most terrifying ability of the Demon-Suppressing Tree. How can a cultivator who is used to becoming a tree return to the human world?"

After his sighs, he fell silent.

Just taking out a dagger, he stabbed it directly into his body.

Disintegration.

Of course, it requires weapons like blades to cause damage.

It even needs to be lethal.

...

At the Su Family banquet.

Li Ye was walking with Su Ya, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Just now, Li Ye had already told Su Ya about what Su Huan had asked him to do. He felt there was nothing to hide about it.

Unexpectedly,

Su Ya wasn't surprised, just smiled and said, "I know, Grandpa told me before, and he also gave me some things, saying that in the future the family will fully support me in achieving the Nascent Soul."

Honestly, he didn't want it.

He knew his own aptitude, and although he could achieve the Nascent Soul, it would probably be slow, especially since he had to use a special Dharma Method to refine his Golden Core.

But being the most promising of the younger generation of the Su Family, he really couldn't refuse Su Huan's request.

"Even if you, Brother Li, didn't step in to help, Grandpa would surely find another Celestial Being. Instead of finding them, it's better to find you."

"So, Brother Li, there's no need to worry. This is Grandpa's own choice, and I can only be happy for him."

Su Ya's expression was as usual.

And it was at this time.

A voice suddenly came from the sky:

"Welcome, everyone, to my birthday banquet."

Following the voice came branches rushing through the air. The branches of the Earth Vein Spirit Willow covered the entire mountain top, with each branch glowing with Spirit Light overflowing with Spiritual Power.

...and feathers were falling.

The bright light feathers carried an indescribable allure, like the radiant light emitted by souls on a battlefield flowing with rivers of blood, extremely poignant.

Among those present, there were certainly no lack of Nascent Soul True Men.

With a glance, they knew what was happening.

"This..."

"Is Taoist Friend Su about to transform?"

"He just came back and is going to do this?"

The Nascent Souls, to be honest, couldn't understand why Su Huan would do this—they knew he had his own ideas, but couldn't comprehend the reason.

Someone who had been in Huiya Grotto Heaven for so long, achieving Nascent Soul with the World Nourishing Pill Method, had limitless potential for the future. Surely living would be better than dying.

But again,

They had no way to advise him, nor the ability to persuade.

Now they could only watch as the large branches of the Spirit Willow shaded the mountain top where the banquet was held, seeing the falling light feathers grow into extraordinarily beautiful flowers on the branches.

Each flower seemed to be a seamless blend of three differently colored flowers, naturally fitting, as if it was meant to be.

Glowing with a lustrous brilliance more radiant than the sun.

An immense amount of Spiritual Power emerged with the blooming flowers, forcibly creating the wondrous scene of golden lotuses springing from the ground here, enveloping the entire mountain top in dense Spiritual Qi.

"Everyone."

"I hope that all of you will owe me a favor—this is a treasure transformed from my essence, flesh, and soul."

"Everyone present can take one."

Actually, there was no need for him to say it.

Everyone present knew what this was.

—This was the "Three Flowers" Su Huan had condensed in another form.

It represented the essence of his cultivation.

Though not the true Three Flowers, if they could be taken back and refined for insight by the younger ones, perhaps they could truly learn the Divine Techniques of "Three Flowers Converging at the Peak."

But they held their status, refraining from taking action.

And at this time,

a tall, graceful figure stepped forward, like jade in demeanor.

He bowed to the Earth Vein Spirit Willow and said solemnly:

"Thank you, senior, for the treasure."

The cultivators were stunned.

Then, quite surprised, they said: "True Man Lingye?"

"Wasn't he resolving the merfolk and Moon God issue in the East Sea?"

"Wait, don't you know that Su Ya of the Su Family has a great relationship with Nephew Li Ye?"

Those present were all astute people.

With these words, they knew Li Ye intended to speak for the Su Family—Su Family relied on Alchemy for a living. If they had such a Spirit Plant Master fully supporting them, their status would be firmly secured.

Even if Su Huan dies immediately now, it wouldn't matter.

Among the current younger generation, there was no one who could compare with Li Ye.

Yet, Li Ye didn't say much else.

He just reached out to pick an exceptionally beautiful three-colored flower.

With him acting first,

the remaining cultivators no longer hesitated.

This thing was precisely the favor Su Huan deliberately sold them!

Of all debts, human favors are the heaviest, but not to mention their past relationships with Su Huan, if Li Ye was willing to support the Su Family, they had no reason to hesitate, right?

So they all bowed.

"Apologies."

"The flower you formed is quite beautiful, you old guy."

"Haha, old tree blooms!"

Nascent Souls laughed and teased Su Huan, then reached out to pick a three-colored flower, carefully keeping it.

Su Huan's voice also carried a smile:

"My old tree blooming is still better than you guys who don't bloom. Just look at you, after all these hundreds of years, still haven't found a Dao companion."

"I'll take root in the Su Family mountains, always having descendants offering to me and chatting with me, while you can only sit and cultivate alone in your cave mansion."

"Truly pitiful and lamentable!"

Gotta say, Su Huan really knew how to make these friends feel uncomfortable.

"You rascal!"

"Hmph, I don't know if we're here to feast on your birthday banquet or to partake in your dishes!"

"You better watch out, old man, or I'm going to snap some of your branches for Artifact Refining materials later!"

A nice birthday banquet thus turned into a banter session.

The cultivators of the Su Family forcefully endured the sadness, continuously serving various rare delicacies.

The light of the Earth Vein Spirit Willow covering the mountain top grew even brighter, and as the banquet was about to end, it suddenly began to melt.

One by one, splendid and dazzling light feathers were peeled off from the Spirit Willow's body, turning into an extremely magnificent scene with the wind.

However, instead of flying into the sky,

they flew over the entire Su Family mountain range, quickly and silently melting into the mountains, planting white trees etched with feather-like markings in countless corners.

These white trees would soon grow into towering trees, bringing a massive increase in Spiritual Power to the entire Su Family mountain range.

The price, however, was that.

Su Huan's three souls and seven spirits, along with his flesh, were completely merged into the Earth Vein Spirit Willow.

Li Ye could feel the Spirit Pattern had been activated.

He looked at the Su Family mountains without words, just patting the shoulder of Su Ya, whose eyes were slightly red.

The other cultivators remained silent.

Just freed from confinement, only to disintegrate and transform, they truly couldn't understand.
