Chapter 650: Chapter 367: Celestial Radiance Transforms, Earthworm Beneath the Sea (Part 2)

It was evident that this seemingly magical tree also required some manual control, at least to a certain extent, and was not entirely an automatic alchemy apparatus.

Once arriving here, all the alchemists immediately took out the freshly crafted pills, still hot from the furnace, and handed them to Li Ye.

And they did so with great enthusiasm.

It appeared that if Li Ye didn’t accept their pills, it would be akin to disrespecting them.

The pile of pills handed over to Li Ye: "..."

He glanced over at them. These pills were indeed quite precious, at least at the level of the Golden Core period, with even some rare and secret concoctions comparable to the value of early-stage Nascent Soul.

However, if he were to suggest using their pills for an experiment at this moment, would these alchemists go berserk?

Li Ye pondered for a moment but decided not to say anything.

Instead, he extended a finger and gently flicked the heavenly-colored sun hanging on his hair.

"..."

The little creature conveyed a sense of grievance and weariness, then as if with a yawn, it suddenly released a magnificent "sunlight" that enveloped everything around.

Immediately afterward.

The pills began to "transform."

To be precise, their internal attributes started altering—originally some were purely Water Spirit Pills for healing, or ferocious Tiger Wolf Pills necessary for advancement.

Yet all were undergoing changes at this moment.

Water turned to fire, wood to earth, gold to water...

No apparent pattern to the changes.

However, they intriguingly maintained the pill’s form, even retaining their distinct "pill patterns."

Meaning they could still be ingested.

Except their efficacy was now uncertain.

This led the alchemists to widen their eyes in disbelief—were they seeing things?

How could a force exist that altered the attributes of pills while maintaining the balance of their spiritual power... and not to mention the medium through which this force acted, the mere alteration while retaining "balance" of spiritual power called for in-depth research over centuries.

Though they longed to scrutinize these pills thoroughly, they realized the "orb" was more critical.

Without bothering about manners, they eagerly eyed the orb, which then burrowed deeper into Li Ye’s hair, letting out a clicking sound with its mouth.

Some exclaimed in surprise:

"Is this Bitter Journey Academy’s heavenly color?"

"The heavenly sun has such a marvelous use?"

"The sun is the source of life, so this reasoning is plausible; isn’t there also a saying that all the earthly minerals result from Sun and Moon Essence falling to earth, blending with the land to form them?"

Uh.

Upon hearing this sentence, the alchemists showed expressions of indescribable complexity.

In fact, they had heard such sayings during their study of alchemy, as well as Feng Shui notions that once plants grew into a shape akin to the human race, treasures would be nurtured within.

Truly, those treasures possessed excellent medicinal effects, sometimes touted as a form of healing by resemblance, so alchemists often gathered such treasures.

It was rumored that within the sect, there was a peculiar mountain peak that due to the frequent resource extraction by alchemists, the sect had to replenish its vitality accordingly...

This led to occasional jokes labeling them as "odd people who gather yin to supplement yang."

Li Ye hopefully doesn’t think that way...

"The sun actually has such marvelous uses?" Li Ye marveled: "If its light penetrates veins, could it alter the structure of veins and even the earth?"

In a flash, Li Ye conceived numerous ideas.

Then he simply waved his hands: "Folks, leave these pills here. Help me analyze them, and I’ll return shortly!"

With that, he promptly vanished.

The alchemists: "..."

He left?

He just left!

Originally, they intended to engage in conversation and tea with Li Ye, perhaps gleaning insights into special materials due to Li Ye’s exceptional adeptness in utilizing and comprehending the power of heaven and earth, far beyond their reach.

Yet he was lured away by such a simple sentence!

The alchemists cast dangerous glances at the fellow who mentioned "Sun and Moon Essence," causing the latter to chuckle awkwardly.

He quickly said: "I have a batch of pills I need to open the furnace for, so, everyone, let’s go, let’s go!"

After saying this, he hurriedly slipped away.

Fearing his fellow alchemists might actually concoct him into a pill.

"Sigh."

"At least there are these pills."

"Do you think True Man Lingye will still remember us later?"

Murmuring alchemists inadvertently looked towards Su Ya, who shrugged helplessly:

"Actually, Junior Brother Li is inherently like this."

"When he wants to act spontaneously, he is truly spontaneous. Let’s analysis these pills first!"

He couldn’t provide a precise answer either.

For Li Ye seemed really more prone to act at will, just like a true cultivator, carefree and unfettered by certain matters.

Could it be, he’s reaching Nascent Soul soon?

...

Having been suspected of nearing Nascent Soul, Li Ye had already descended to the sea’s depths.

Amidst countless Dragon Clan members rallying upon hearing this, he arrived at... the eruption point of the turbid vein.

—Though located deep underwater, the erupting impurities had rendered the surrounding tens of thousands of miles of seawater utterly murky, carrying an atrocious stench akin to someone blasting an outhouse with thunderous lightning.

Logically speaking, Li Ye already segregated this hundred-thousand-acre sea region from the main body of the East Pole Yang Sea, theoretically preventing any build-up or eruption of turbid veins within his territory.

Yet he chose to retain this area.

First, to help relieve the East Pole Yang Sea’s pressure.

Second, naturally to conduct thorough research on these turbid veins, as they contained secrets of the ocean’s "self-purification." Applying such knowledge elsewhere could indeed be immensely beneficial.

Therefore, upon realizing the heavenly-colored sun possessed such abilities, Li Ye immediately thought: If it could alter the turbidity vein’s characteristics, it would indeed perform a tremendous benevolent act.

Acting upon his thought.

He grasped a lock of his hair and vigorously shook the slumbering, softly "snoring"—rippling heavenly-colored sun.

"..."

Being startled awake, the little sun bumped into Li Ye’s palm, then as if flattened by the impact, immense power surged from within.

In a flash, it engulfed everything surrounding.

The seawater, the turbidity vein, even the fish unable to evade.

Luckily, the Dragon Clan members hesitated to follow Li Ye into the turbid vein, avoiding the sun’s eruption—after all, before transforming into dragons, most were Spirit Plants, which detested and feared such pollution.

Upon encountering the heavenly-colored light, the impurities began to thicken and blur, their grey forms morphing into brilliant colors.

Amidst these dazzling lights, a peculiar entity arose, akin to a colossal creature twisting its form, massive like a serpent yet with rugged skin—a "creature."

It seemed employing the heavenly-colored light to aid its formation, the surrounding spiritual power becoming chaotic, even Li Ye’s Divine Sense and authority as the ocean’s master couldn’t fully perceive it.

But the interface ignored the obstruction of these forces. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Allowing him to effortlessly identify the creature’s true form—

Earthquake Worm.

There was an Earthquake Worm within the impurities?

How does this differ from legends of giant earthworms dwelling beneath the ground in the mortal realm, but the issue is that this isn’t on land, right?
