CHAPTER 79: CHAPTER 79: IF IT BULLIES YOU, JUST HIT IT!

This question puzzled Li Ye for a moment.

But he didn’t think too much about it. In such a cultivation world, suddenly strange things happening is quite normal, as long as it helps him.

While the Beaver was blocking in front, he took the opportunity to wrap the threads of the Flying Light Cyan Lotus around the Hungry Ghost, imprinting layer upon layer of lotus marks, gradually transferring those dark red resentments.

The transferred resentment was injected by Li Ye into more blooming lotuses.

Because the Zhou Family spared no effort in providing spiritual energy from several spirit veins, one cyan lotus after another bloomed rapidly beside Li Ye.

Although they were gradually being eroded by resentment, with red showing through the cyan petals,

the outer cyan glow still existed, seeming fragile to the touch, but in reality, extremely resilient.

As a Primordial Spirit Plant bestowed by the Shennong Ruler, its extensiveness was said to be almost boundless.

Because in the eyes of the Shennong Ruler, it could definitely cope with the damages brought by the growth of resentment.

However, it was being controlled by merely an ordinary cultivator.

As long as there was spiritual energy, it could continuously grow and expand, but Li Ye was under extreme pressure.

The only fortunate thing was that Li Ye had experienced the pain from the Hungry Bone multiple times and had almost gotten used to it.

Even if another cultivator with a slightly higher cultivation sat here, it would not be more at ease than him.

The whole scene suddenly became quite strange—

Mycelia kept producing food for the livestock herd, while Li Ye sat at the edge of the Spirit Land, with one bloom after another of lotus appearing beside him, and further away, the fungal wall resisted the dark red resentment...

It seemed to be in a standoff.

"I can feel the Earth Demon Ginseng is continuously transmitting resentment over, which means to break this situation, the interference of the Earth Demon Ginseng must be removed."

"Otherwise, with my Divine Sense and willpower, there’s no way to hold on for so long, and I fear I’d need to break through if necessary."

At this moment, Li Ye truly felt that his Qi Refining cultivation was limiting his exertion.

If he could advance to Foundation Establishment, his Divine Sense would undoubtedly soar, and he could persevere for a longer time, possibly capturing the Earth Demon Ginseng.

But the Temple of All Gods...

He bit his lip and finally could only sigh.

If the situation becomes urgent or if there is any chance to resolve it...

"Let’s see how it goes."

Li Ye stopped considering gains and losses, and continued guiding the resentment to be stored in the lotus.

The cultivators of the Zhou Family were not idle either; after all, they were a cultivation family with methods to dispel resentment.

Although they weren’t so effective against Hungry Bone’s resentment, they indeed helped Li Ye relieve some pressure.

Time ticked away.

It seemed like a long time passed, but in reality, it was just a moment’s time.

The Beaver let out a few difficult "chirps" to Li Ye, its originally plump fur had sagged, and even its glow began to dim.

That meant... the supplies had run out!

"It’s okay."

"You’ve already done very well."

"Besides, we have reinforcements coming."

Li Ye placed it into his pocket, his once clear eyes now filled with bloodshot as he looked behind him.

There he saw a Cyan Bird clutching four chubby Beavers, with a Water Ink Starving Bone atop its head, flying like an arrow, shooting into Li Ye’s arms.

"Be careful!"

The momentarily blinded Li Ye was about to scold it, but the Cyan Bird nudged his palm with its head, concern clearly visible in its red eyes.

This softened Li Ye’s heart, and he gently patted its head.

"It’s okay; you came just in time."

He nodded towards Qian Fang in the distance and continued casting spells.

The Beavers quickly intervened with the help of their leader after rushing over, though they were to be bound in the second batch, any help was appreciated.

With their assistance and the aura emitted by the Ink and Water Starving Bone,

Li Ye finally succeeded in extending the lotus’s threads towards the depths of the Hungry Ghost Evil Bone, following the deep resentment to find the ginseng roots.

No doubt, it was these roots that suppressed the seal on the Hungry Ghost Evil Bone, coupled with the mycelia’s longing, leading to the current result.

"Finally caught you."

Li Ye unabashedly wrapped the lotus’s threads around, enveloping the roots, and gave a fierce tug.

The threads tensed immediately.

Then one root after another snapped, and golden characters gradually appeared on the Hungry Ghost Evil Bone, starting to suppress its power and forcing it into slumber.

"It’s working!" Li Ye exclaimed joyfully, and quickly shouted outward, "Quick, lead the livestock away, remember to lure the mycelia along!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Fang promptly began herding the livestock together with the Zhou Family cultivators.

The mycelia, seeing their "guests" willing to eat their food about to leave, also gave up contending with the Hungry Ghost Evil Bone, hastened to leave the Spirit Land, and followed the livestock herd into the distance.

Without the forced extraction by mycelia and interference by the Earth Demon Ginseng, the Hungry Ghost Evil Bone finally started to close slowly.

The resentment flowing from the flowers slowed down, eventually coming to a standstill.

The Beavers didn’t idle either; following the evaporation of resentment, they continued to toss food over, chirping with "chirp chirp" sounds, with the Buddha’s Light on their bodies shining brighter.

Li Ye wrapped the broken roots with the lotus’s threads, gradually probing downwards, attempting to trace back to the Earth Demon Ginseng’s location.

However, as he probed further, he suddenly heard a soft laughter, "Little friend’s Divine Sense is this special, how intriguing."

The laughter was neither male nor female, yet filled with a compassionate, benevolent intent.

"Not good!"

Upon hearing the voice, Li Ye broke through without hesitation, leveraging the explosive increase in his Divine Sense from the Foundation Establishment Stage, quickly withdrawing.

Yet it still was too late.

A pale hand in the dark underground pit pressed on the lotus threads, began delivering Divine Sense over, appearing in front of Li Ye.

It was actually a fox with no clear features, besides having eight fluffy pink tails and wearing a fur robe, with just a pair of watery peach blossom eyes staring at Li Ye.

It seemed harmless, but no way it could truly be harmless; it was definitely an act.

"!!!"

Li Ye stared at the presence in front of him as if facing a formidable foe, while the Beavers showed some fear but didn’t hide, and the Cyan Bird and Red Bean raised their feathers but didn’t dare to attack.

Evidently, this guy wasn’t simple.

"I really want to have a chat with the little friend, but unfortunately, someone keeps causing trouble, can’t even say a few words, the Four Seasons Sect is really overbearing."

It blinked at Li Ye with a slightly sighed tone.

At the same time, its tails swayed powerfully to block the abrupt wind and snow.

But apparently, it wasn’t easy, as five of its tails were frozen, with the seemingly small wind and snow carrying the power to freeze everything.

The fox took a step back, its expression still calm.

"Ah, my tails."

"Pain."

It said without any emotion in its tone.

A figure in white emerged with the wind and snow, standing in front of Li Ye, their voice like a chilly breeze:

"Bullying a disciple of my Four Seasons Sect?"

The Nascent Soul female cultivator, who had met him once before, stared at the fox.

Unwilling to waste time here, she directly said:

"I know this is just your Divine Sense, but have you ever thought that you’re not the only one here in the Four Seasons Sect’s territory?"

"What?"

The fox’s once calm eyes narrowed as it saw another figure appear beside Li Ye, that person handed Li Ye a wooden ruler.

And patted him on the head.

With an evident tone of amusement:

"Disciple, if it bullies you, then you hit it back!"
