Many cultivators are currently using their divine techniques to slay demon beasts, collecting the treasures dropped by the beasts.

Spirit stones, magical artifacts, radiant spiritual materials, seeds...

As long as there's monster slaying, everything you want can be found.

So they're not even puzzled; they're just enjoying the process of slaying beasts and finding treasures.

Li Ye can even hear them saying:

"Could this be a providence given by the master of Ruoquan?"

"I just killed a second-tier spirit beast, and it dropped a drop of sunlight spirit water!"

"There are even Golden Core magical treasures here."

Those who dare to come and live here mostly have some skills, as this is a supply point between the Inner Sea and Outer Sea.

Those who want a peaceful cultivation wouldn't come all the way out here to live.

Besides, they're cultivators.

Who hasn't killed a few demon beasts?

To them, this is a chance encounter.

This is somewhat different from the scene of rivers of blood that Li Ye imagined outside—— it is the demon beasts bleeding rivers, those beasts manifested by heart force.

"This is rather well done."

The senior brother rubbed his chin, at some point already standing next to Li Ye, looking outside and said to Bai:

"Whether it's the demon energy of the beasts or the burst of blood, or the wounds caused by various magics...

When the master comes later, you should honestly hand over all these experimental data, he should forgive you for it."

His body has begun to crumble.

Traces of white spiritual power scattered like dust in the wind.

But the senior brother's expression held a hint of relief, turning to instruct Li Ye: "Although Bai is your elder, he's too childish.

Do me a favor, take care of him for a while, at least don't let Master punish him.

I'm counting on you!"

Li Ye looked at the senior brother's body, already beginning to fracture: "Don't worry, Master likes me a lot, I will definitely speak up for Senior Bai!"

Senior brother waved his hand, intending to walk towards the beaver Bai.

But his heart force could no longer hold on, leaving just a silhouette that completely dissipated.

Leaving just a trace of fine sand drifting in the wind.

"Ah, senior brother."

Li Ye felt some sadness.

Though it was just an illusion, he truly felt reluctant about senior brother's departure.

However, the situation now leaves him no time to think more.

Because after senior brother left, he was already sent to the outer layer by beaver Bai.

Several demon beasts like sharks with legs surrounded him instantly.

Those beasts opened their bloody maws, spewing out foul black water.

"Roar!!!"

Clearly sharks, yet making sounds like tigers.

"Noisy!"

A frustrated Li Ye waved his sleeve.

The mana of Jianmu coalesced into wind blades, water arrows, fireballs, earth cones, golden swords, and other five elements techniques, sweeping like a storm, eliminating those third-tier Foundation Establishment demon beasts instantly.

Several spirit stones fell from the sky.

Having dealt with the attacking beasts, Li Ye finally had the mood to survey the situation——

Yang Ke was still sleeping nearby; the heart soil spirit given by senior brother, the Ruo Wood, and branches of Spring Beauty Autumn Peach were all wrapped within a light sphere.

Though he had gained a lot, and his time with senior brother wasn't long, he still felt quite melancholic.

Since senior brother said that he is still alive, sooner or later they will meet again, he indeed has many questions he wants answered.

He really isn't very interested in those beasts outside, so he simply found a hidden place, took out an array that could conceal his presence, and had the bamboo wood ants build a small house to hide inside.

This array was made by the Array Hall brothers, and as long as one's divine sense doesn't scan inch by inch below the Nascent Soul, they won't discover the situation inside.

So he hid comfortably and securely.

He even had the beavers fetch tea sets and fine pastries, leisurely sitting on a chair eating.

Looking at the cultivators outside the bamboo hut array hunting demon beasts was quite interesting indeed.

After half a day, Yang Ke suddenly jerked awake.

"This..."

His eyes were filled with confusion: "Weren't we unable to escape just now? Where is this place now, Brother Li."

Li Ye gestured at the beaver with a jade porcelain teacup.

"Chitter!"

The beaver immediately used its lotus petals to deliver a cup of tea to Yang Ke.

The latter was momentarily bewildered but still accepted the tea, even thanking the beaver.

The steaming honey-infused earth element tea tree tea emitted a sweet fragrance tinged with timeless charm.

Yang Ke felt much better after a few sips.

Li Ye only then spoke:

"We're still on Ruoquan Island, but things outside are a bit complicated."

He omitted the issue with senior brother and the beaver, merely saying Yang Ke fainted, and to keep him safe, he was forced to stay here.

Yang Ke was quite grateful upon hearing this.

"Thank you, Brother Li!"

"Once this is done, you must visit my fishery!"

—— He had already seen the treasures dropped by the demon beasts outside, some of which he considered valuable.

Li Ye could stay here and forgo all those treasures for him, making him truly moved.

"Heh."

"It's just a small matter, Brother Yang, don't mind it."

"Let's wait here for the sect elders."

Nonetheless, Li Ye didn't have the thick skin to accept Yang Ke's gratitude, so he just smiled faintly, gesturing for him to sit beside him.

The two of them sat, chatting and drinking tea.

Outside, the cultivators were battling demon beasts.

Time slowly passed.

Several days later, the ground outside suddenly surged with... blood like golden sand.

Though it shone brightly, it exuded a fishy smell, like spring water bubbling from the ground, with a faint sound of whale song.

"Blood Spirit Whale."

Li Ye had previously inspected the spiritual power of that chunk of blood, so he knew immediately what it was.

Earlier, he thought it was in some treasury holding a dying blood spirit whale, but now it seemed to be sustaining the entire island.

In this situation, even Li Ye was a bit puzzled, not knowing how to deal with it.

But seeing as the senior brother didn't seem worried about it being a threat to him, otherwise he would have sent Bai to take him out long ago.

If he could resist, he would do everything he could.

However, the current situation was beyond his capability to resolve, so he remained calm instead.

He even reassured Yang Ke: "Don't worry, Brother Yang, it's alright."

"..."

Yang Ke watched the expanding golden-sand blood outside, feeling that Brother Li's mental cultivation was beyond his reach.

If it were him, he would definitely flee immediately.

Seeing Li Ye's composure, Yang Ke calmed down too, feeling somewhat ashamed. He cupped his hands: "Brother Li indeed possesses a magnanimous demeanor!"

Li Ye gave him a strange look, not understanding why he said that, but after a moment of thought, he understood.

He opened his mouth to say something polite, then suddenly heard a voice in his ear:

"Disciple."

The voice directly appeared in his mind, exciting him instantly!

Isn't this his master's voice!

"I am still in the sect, communicating with you using a supreme treasure."

His master's voice continued: "You should have seen your senior brother, he should have taught you two special spells.

Now it's time for you to experiment.

This island's foundation is formed from heart power.

I will impart some strength to you, disintegrate all the heart power here, and there will be others to handle the rest.

Remember, that old fellow has been looking forward to assisting us, so give him this favor, but don't forget to demand the benefits!"

Upon hearing this, a starry ruler cut through the void in front of him, landing silently before him, emanating an endless and terrifying might.
