They can even move.

From time to time, they would step forward on their trunk-like long legs, swaying their flower-like leaf crowns as they slowly moved. During this process, they shed petals, which soon accumulated into a cluster of small growing trees following behind.

And the people living on this land would seize the chance to capture these small trees, and after boiling, pickling, or stir-frying, they would become food similar to meat.

The primary meat source for the people here is these fungi.

Indeed.

In the Cloud Realm, there is unexpectedly no concept of "livestock and poultry."

"So, can you analyze the structure of these Spirit Plants called... Cloud Feather Mushrooms?"

Li Ye reached out his hand, seemingly able to touch the bumpy but fleshy texture of the Cloud Feather Mushroom's massive surface.

Unfortunately, this was all deduced from the data provided by the Ministry of Agriculture, and certainly couldn't allow Li Ye to utilize his own probing technique to investigate the concrete situation.

Even the panel couldn't take effect.

The helpless voice of the Sun and Moon Ring came: "Master, you are forcing the impossible. Such a Spirit Plant doesn't exist within the Four Seasons Sect, and even the cultivators of the Cloud Realm probably can't accurately establish its Spiritual Power model."

After replying, it couldn't help but add, "The Cloud Realm has existed for thousands of years, yet they still don't fully understand this Spirit Plant's characteristics, nor have they established a complete Spiritual Power structure archive.

Even today, while they support and cultivate this Spirit Plant, there's still a probability of failure."

Another point is, after so long, that this Spirit Plant has not been introduced into the Four Seasons Sect, nor has a specific area or grotto heaven been dedicated to cultivating it, which implies its taste is quite unsatisfactory.

"So, can you mimic its flavor?"

"I might as well just take a bite and try."

Saying so, Li Ye reached out his hand, cast a Spiritual Power to chop a small piece off, and tasted it.

The expression he had of anticipation instantly became indescribable.

Only the admonition not to waste food echoed in his mind, preventing him from spitting out this thing directly.

He forced it down.

To someone like Li Ye, who still maintained the habit of eating, something unpleasant was truly mood-dampening.

He worked so hard to achieve his status today, he certainly couldn't just get full from tea or eat the morning dew out of boredom, right?

"..."

The Sun and Moon Ring cautiously said, "After all, this is the flavor the Ministry of Agriculture concluded; if we use spices from our side to make it, it shouldn't be this unpalatable.

If you want to eat, why not request some, and I'll have the beavers make a few for you to taste."

In fact, there was something it could not say openly, this deduced taste of the food completely couldn't be controlled by it, only summarized from the flavors provided by the Ministry of Agriculture.

In other words... equivalent to "tasting" what the Ministry of Agriculture eats.

Li Ye intended to refuse.

But upon reconsideration, if that land truly cannot introduce livestock, perhaps he really should think about transforming this material. Furthermore, if he could improve the rather poor taste of this Spirit Plant to something excellent.

It would greatly benefit his path.

Since this thing can be a staple in the Cloud Realm, solving this issue could naturally serve as a staple in the Tao Furnace Realm as well. More ingredients just mean more choices.

Pairing various ingredients could even create dazzlingly delicious food.

"Alright, have some sent over."

"Remember to send the soil along too."

Having made this decision, he carefully watched the "future" played out by the Sun and Moon Ring, seeing how He An would take his Divine Techniques back and conduct tests on a piece of land.

The land was irrigated by the Emotion Communication Spiritual Power belonging to the Earth Emotion Technique, naturally growing patterns in the shape of "ridges," and all the seeds only needed to be scattered to grow autonomously, with rainwater and groundwater being drawn by the Spiritual Power to ensure every seed was well-nourished.

Then.

He An, again, took some individuals with simple features, somewhat humanlike, who danced ritualistically in the field, extracting the earth's Spiritual Power to condense into earthy gold Pills.

Some could even condense into an earthy Nascent Soul.

But after condensing the Golden Core and Nascent Soul, they would become bound to the land, a land gathered by innumerable Wish Power from the people, limiting their actions, ensuring they wouldn't lose their true selves due to power.

After that was a time it couldn't deduce, or should I say, it didn't have the Spiritual Power to deduce — this brief incense-stick period, devouring millions of Li Ye's Spirit Stones.

Because it involved deducing whether those people could form Golden Cores and Nascent Souls, deducing such future almost equaled foreseeing the future.

"Still acceptable."

Li Ye was quite satisfied.

He then took out pen and paper and personally wrote a letter to the emperor of the Cloud Dynasty, clearly stating his optimistic view of He An, and how He An's experimental field was a huge help to him.

He explicitly indicated not allowing the emperor to affect his experimental field.

With this letter, the emperor would definitely see the designated place as an enclave of the Four Seasons Sect, and the emperor's "father" wouldn't defy Li Ye's will.

Still, the notion persists, seeking dignity for himself, and the other side will do likewise.

Although he knew this letter might have the emperor pay more attention to He An, it would also give He An valuable time to develop his power.

If even with such assistance, He An and his people couldn't manage it, Li Ye would consider other matters.

After completing this, he invested no more energy into it, as now the seeds were sown, and rooting and sprouting would take some time.

He dispersed this incarnation.

Came to the main body of the Ruo Wood, looking down at the few fruits growing on the Ruo Wood, one of which was slightly trembling, seemingly on the verge of cracking.

From beneath the golden, glass-like shimmering fruit skin burst forth dazzling beams of light seemingly shooting straight at the Heavenly Dome, far-reaching to the Nine Heavens above.

"...they were grown simultaneously, yet they mature at different times, moreover, this fruit's power is somewhat strange."

Li Ye's gaze focused on this particular fruit.

The panel immediately appeared —

[Name]: Ruo Wood Sun Fruit·Li Sun

[Mood]: Eager, Urgent, Yearning.

[State]: The "Sun" conceived by the Ruo Wood from Li Ye's transformation in the Heart Soil, its Spiritual Power is not fully formed and has been divided among its siblings.

Therefore, the sunlight it can emit is of the intensity and special Spiritual Power of "Mao" to "Si" hours.

[Bindable]: Spirit Plants possessing Fusang Spiritual Power.

As the panel gradually appeared.

The fruit also began to shake violently, as if eager to see this world.

"Crack~"

After a soft crack.

Its connection with the Ruo Wood severed instantly.

Then, the skin began to burn visibly, transforming into a dazzling sphere of light, and thus soared straight into the high sky, within the Ruoquan Island's range of Ruo Wood Spiritual Power, started shining freely.

At this moment… it was night.

The cultivators who were sleeping peacefully were suddenly aware of the night being pierced by Spiritual Power, with scorching light pouring in through the windows, awakening them instantly.

Even more unlucky were those sleeping on the ground outside, who, under the solar rays, immediately shook off any sense of deep sleep.

"What is this?"

"The sun... sun!?"

"But isn't it nighttime, still on Ruo Wood Island!?"

The Resentment Qi from having their sleep interrupted nearly… rose up instantly.

Causing Li Ye, observing the sun shining and burning in the Heavenly Dome, to tense up, fortunately, there shouldn't be anyone here using bows, naturally, there wouldn't be anyone pulling a bow to shoot the sun... right.
