Impure Vein.
This is still an extremely stable impure vein.
Although it's far smaller than the impure vein he tapped into initially, it continuously flows like a spirit vein.
"Then let it be your responsibility to tend to it."
"Purifying impurities is one of your innate talents anyway."
"Remember, all its vitality must converge into your fruit to ensure these dragon eggs hatch perfectly."
Li Ye withdrew his divine sense and touched the fruit of the Kan Water Potato, openly expressing his anticipation: "This might just be the Azure Dragon."
And a perfect Azure Dragon at that; he had a premonition that once it hatched, it would surely aid him.
His solemn attitude immediately caused the Profound Water Dragon, already concerned about its offspring, to nod seriously.
It decided not to leave before the fruit hatched, not even returning home through Weichuan, focusing solely on staying here.
Seeing its dedication, Li Ye left with peace of mind.
Many people were still waiting for him on the island, and he had to arrange lodgings for the arriving dragon clan members. Managing a formidable force at the outset is challenging, but once everything is on track, he could become a hands-off shopkeeper.
...
He quickly arrived on the island.
The waiting dragon clan members immediately gathered around him.
Leading them was a young dragon clan member, one of Ao Kong's direct descendants, who had just reached the early Nascent Soul stage.
This dragon clan member wore a silver robe, astonishingly beautiful as if sculpted from a divine statue, yet lacking some human warmth.
Despite being a Nascent Soul, he bore no arrogance.
After smiling at Li Ye, he directly voiced his request:
"Brother Li."
"Could we possibly have ten thousand miles of sea territory?"
"We'll set up a Crystal Palace array beneath the sea, and by then, we can also help tend to the ocean's creatures."
Li Ye nodded: "Sure."
"I just acquired this hundred-thousand-mile sea territory, and I have no prior experience in managing sea territories. If you senior members are willing to help me explore the sea territory's matters, I couldn't be more grateful."
A rather tall, dashing dragon clan female cultivator agreed heartily:
"That's simple enough."
"Leave it to me."
"I'll sum up the sea territory's situation into a report in ten days and hand it over to you!"
As she spoke.
The female directly transformed within the clouds into a slightly elongated silver dragon, roared excitedly, and flew toward the sea.
Honestly speaking.
She resembled a child who, after being suppressed for a long time, could finally frolic, rather than a dragon.
The young man in the silver robe laughed awkwardly: "Pardon her, Brother Li. The Suspended Sea Cave Heaven doesn't have places where we can roam so freely. For us Nascent Soul dragons, the moving space is barely a thousand miles of sea."
A thousand miles...
For us, barely swimming and we already hit the limit.
Wider sea territories are occupied by the elders, and we can't randomly break in.
So, having the rare chance to swim freely, it's understandable for my sister to be more lively."
Hearing this.
Li Ye displayed a curious expression:
"I heard Suspended Sea Cave Heaven is one of this world's largest grotto heaven blessed lands, vast as the four seas. Why is only a thousand-mile sea territory allotted to you?"
The young man in the silver robe forced a smile: "It's no secret. Suspended Sea Cave Heaven has a unique spirit plant needing a vast sea territory to grow.
So most of that cave heaven's area is used for planting this.
That leaves us with cramped living areas.
Look, that's the plant."
He took out a rather peculiar spirit fruit.
This spirit fruit... its peduncle and body are intertwined, like a yin-yang fish with its head and tail connected, entirely a verdant color, the skin crystal clear, showing the plump flesh inside.
Taiyin essence practically overflowed.
It emitted a cooling fragrance, which left even Li Ye's avatar slightly in a daze just by smelling it.
This item...
Is clearly not an ordinary treasure.
[Name]: Lower Grade Jiaoli
[Emotion]: None
[Status]: A spirit fruit nurtured by the essence of Taiyin and spirit of kidney water, able to harmonize yin and yang, granting an extraordinary effect in extending life span when consumed.
When consumed with a fire date, the effect is even better.
[Bindable]: Pure spirit of the sun.
Li Ye's eyes widened.
To think it's Jiaoli!
Jiaoli and fire date are reputable, precious immortal treasures, said to even enable ascending to immortality in broad daylight when consumed together—though exaggerated, it demonstrates their wonder.
It's unexpected that Suspended Sea Cave Heaven cultivates such treasures.
It's no wonder even the proud Nascent Soul dragon clan members are confined to a mere thousand-mile sea territory; compared to such spirit treasures, indeed... a little cramping is worth it.
However.
A pure spirit of the sun?
"..."
Li Ye recalled the fruits his Ruo Wood avatar was nurturing. After a brief hesitation, he tried asking:
"Could you sell me a root of this plant? I'm quite curious about it and want to study it."
The other seemed to have anticipated this.
A bit troubled, he said: "I can decide to give you one fruit; after all, I get one every millennium. But the whole root needs my grandfather's decision.
And it also requires... the approval of your sect's Taoist Xiahui."
"..."
That's troublesome.
Involving another Divinity Transformation, Li Ye could only attempt to contact his sect to see what could be done.
"Still, thank you, Dao Friend."
Though he couldn't acquire the root, he politely thanked the other, then discussed various trivial matters.
Soon.
The young man in the silver robe cheerfully left with his kin.
