Chapter 604: Chapter 344: Flint Fire Divine Turtle, Year-Condensing Divine Pine_2

Casually asked:

"So did you notice that Senior Sister Liu was being incited at the time?"

Moment later.

A distant, aged, and deep voice replied: "I noticed, but I couldn’t intervene—for I couldn’t fulfill her desires, thus I could only let matters unfold.

I had indirectly advised her before, but ultimately, was helpless."

Upon hearing this, Li Ye raised his eyebrows.

"I actually thought you wouldn’t get involved in such affairs, but you were willing to warn her?"

Flint Fire Divine Turtle said helplessly, "After all, I’ve been here for so long. Call it compassion, call it meddling in the mortal realm, even if Brother Jianmu questions me, I must do what I ought to do."

"So now you..."

Li Ye quickened his pace.

Following the deep path, he arrived at the deep pool where the Flint Fire Divine Turtle resided, and it was clear that the flames that should have been blazing in the pool had been extinguished.

An extreme cold enveloped the entire pool, like a frozen purgatory.

"Just as you see." The voice of the Flint Fire Divine Turtle emerged from the pool: "I have been punished."

"I don’t understand." Li Ye felt puzzled: "You should have the duty to help the young ones find the correct path. Why couldn’t you intervene? I always thought you were the elder overseeing the disciples and land gods here."

This time, the Flint Fire Divine Turtle was silent for a long time.

Only then did he reply: "Just as I mentioned before, I can offer advice and indirect warnings, but I cannot forcibly correct her.

The rules dictate this.

No matter good or bad, one must bear it oneself.

It is... the rule for disciples of the Four Seasons Sect."

—In the entire Tao Furnace Realm, the treatment of disciples of the Four Seasons Sect is considered the best, abundant in resources and a leisurely life can inevitably cause some disciples to develop lazy ideas or different thoughts.

Cultivators cultivate the body first by cultivating the heart.

If the heart goes astray, even forcibly correcting it is useless.

This sounds somewhat cruel, but enjoying the benefits of the Four Seasons Sect indeed comes with responsibilities. She indeed made a mistake and must accept punishment.

Moreover, Senior Sister Liu committed the greatest error by using her identity as a cultivator to interfere in the mortal world, misusing the authority given to her by the Four Seasons Sect, which undoubtedly angered the higher-ups greatly.

Li Ye stood there for quite a while before speaking, "Ancestor Jianmu, I have something I’d like Elder Turtle’s help with, why not spare him from his punishment."

"Certainly." Ancestor Jianmu’s voice answered: "But what is it you need him to help you with?"

"What to do..." Li Ye thought for a moment: "Just help me pick a piece of Warm Water Fat Pine, I’ll make some incense when I return."

"..."

Upon saying this.

Even Ancestor Jianmu.

Even the Flint Fire Divine Turtle was stunned.

Then it was a mixture of laughter and exasperation, you should at least find a more suitable reason, although the way out has been openly provided, but it needs to be reasonable.

But Li Ye had already said it.

Ancestor Jianmu could only helplessly say: "Alright."

After speaking, He released the Flint Fire Divine Turtle from its restraints, and the pool water visibly returned to normal, starting to blaze fiercely.

"Ah, you child."

"Enough, this item shall be given to you."

"I have safeguarded it for so long, finally found someone suitable."

The voice of the Flint Fire Divine Turtle carried affection.

A large glob of pine resin was thrown out of the pool, inside of which was sealed a small twig, presumably pine, but its needles were as crystal-clear as jade.

Especially at its tip.

A piece of golden-green pine resin that was entirely different from the surrounding resin, like a moment of frozen time.

[Name]: Condensing Years Divine Pine

[Mood]: None

[State]: Since the establishment of the heavens and earth, the divine object nurtured by the branch dropped from the first pine tree, possessing great power to manipulate time.

During its growth, it secretes pine resin.

Using the resin to coat any item, depending on the amount applied, can fast-forward or rewind the item’s time.

But it requires the irrigation of time to grow.

[Bindable]: To a squirrel in Celestial River City.

"..."

Li Ye’s eyes widened.

He had seen this Spirit Plant in the Four Seasons Sect’s "Divine Object Compendium," a true Sixth Tier Spirit Plant, almost only obtainable by Divinity Transformation Ancestors.

And very few exist in the world.

It is said only when establishing the Cosmic Light River, can a splashing water droplet nurture such a treasure, and now it’s given to him?

Li Ye was very tempted.

But he still shook his head and refused: "This is too precious, even if I didn’t ask, Ancestor Jianmu wouldn’t let you suffer indefinitely. I cannot accept."

Yet Elder Turtle directly stuffed the pine resin into his hands.

Then withdrew his breath, contentedly enjoying the burning flames and fell into a deep sleep.

No chance was given for Li Ye to refuse.

"..."

If outsiders saw this, they would be shocked—such treasures being strongly given!

Li Ye was overwhelmed.

He could only bow to the pool: "Thank you, Elder Turtle, this disciple will take his leave, won’t disturb your rest."

The pool water gently rippled as if urging him to leave quickly.

Li Ye left with a smile.

He was certainly happy.

After all, obtaining such a treasure.

But what was it supposed to bind with?

A squirrel in Celestial River City?

He mused.

Seems he truly can’t leave immediately, might as well wander around Celestial River City, and also visit Zhao He’s parents, surely some things should be given to them.

...

Not long after.

Li Ye walked with Li Xun on the streets of Celestial River City, Zhao He followed half a step behind.

"I’m really troubling Junior Brother this time." Li Ye sincerely thanked: "If Junior Brother has any issues in the future, feel free to tell me, I will exert all my efforts!"

Li Xun nonchalantly shook his head: "Senior Brother need not be this way, I also gained many benefits this time, my Cultivation should be able to advance further, and condense more Golden Cores to nourish the small worlds."

"Ah?" Li Ye was surprised.

He knew of the World Nourishing Pill Method.

But...

What is the method of nourishing worlds with Golden Cores?

"Actually, I turn the Golden Cores into Fengrao’s miracle, granting them to some small worlds." Li Xun saw Li Ye’s interest and offered: "When we return to the sect, come to my Cave Mansion for a look.

If Senior Brother is interested, I will also teach you this method."

"Sounds good."

Li Ye nodded: "I also have some ideas, let’s have tea and discuss the Path of Cultivation together then."

"Hehe."

Li Xun expressed joy: "That would be wonderful."

As they chatted.

They soon arrived at a prominent residence in Celestial River City—two imposing stone lions guarded its entrance, the doors were shut with a plaque bearing the character "Zhao".

Clearly it was Zhao He’s home.

As Li Ye’s first and only disciple, even if Zhao He didn’t deliberately let his family use his name for things, there were many willing to open doors conveniently.

After all, when Li Ye thought to visit his disciple’s home, if the disciple’s family wasn’t doing well, many would indeed suffer.

"Hmm?"

Li Ye noticed on the nearby street, several porridge stalls giving out porridge, large pots within the stall boiled thick rice porridge, emitting an appetite-inducing fragrance.

There also seemed to be a faint sweet scent of pine resin mixed in.

The one cooking porridge was a tall young man, clearly accustomed to physical labor, his arms bulging with muscles, showing great strength at a glance.

Naturally.

Li Ye wasn’t focused on him.

To be precise, it was the young man’s shoulder—

There, stood a squirrel also donning a chef’s attire, the little guy somehow found balance, anyway, it stood on the young man’s shoulder, intently watching the rolling porridge pot.

Its tiny paws were busy sprinkling something.

The glistening dust fell into the porridge pot, swiftly embraced by its bubbling contents and disappeared.

Strangely, people around didn’t seem to notice it, as if it didn’t exist.
