The knowledge about the Spiritual Mechanism Vine was unexpectedly vast.
Li Ye even had to read for two days and two nights just to finish it.
He never imagined that a tiny seed would require so much planning, or that he would have to grudgingly learn an array within.
"Let the seed of the Spiritual Mechanism Vine merge with the earth vein of the cave abode."
"It will then firmly anchor the soul here, extending out self-aware vines to the outside world."
"The soil, water veins, and spiritual qi throughout the entire cave abode... all need to be connected to a central point using an array to help it germinate and grow."
"After it sprouts, it must be fed with various spiritual objects."
The more Li Ye thought about it, the more it seemed like an inexhaustible money pit, but upon further reflection, the benefits brought by the Spiritual Mechanism Vine outweighed this concern.
First, the Spiritual Mechanism Vine could assist him in harvesting, cultivating, and tending to spirit plants and spirit beasts, and also monitor and manage the spiritual qi and water veins within the cave abode.
Secondly, it is very intelligent, capable of learning alchemy, artifact refining, and array-related knowledge.
Finally, it could serve as Li Ye's temporary eyes, sending out avatars to the outside world, and even remotely channel Li Ye's power to perform his magic and divine techniques.
Equivalent to an all-purpose butler and a semi-avatar, nurturing it only brings benefits without drawbacks.
This also answered a question he had previously.
"No wonder Senior Brother Su Ya said the Spiritual Mechanism Vine is formidable. Turns out it can channel the master's power, enabling the summoning of the master's strength anytime anywhere."
He clicked his tongue in amazement and decided to plant the Spiritual Mechanism Vine immediately.
However, outlining the array required for the Spiritual Mechanism Vine was not an easy task.
Coupled with the fact that he also planned a major renovation of the cave abode, which might change the composition of spiritual power, it would be better to handle this after organizing the cave abode.
"Better get to it early."
"After finishing everything, then get a good rest."
Thinking of this, he stood up, summoned a cloud, sat upon it, and leisurely began to inspect his cave abode.
Soon after setting off, he noticed something amiss.
The hive in the Sunlight Spirit Land seemed a bit too large, and sitting on the cloud, he hadn't used his divine sense. After carefully scanning with it, his mouth twitched slightly.
—The Crystal Spirit Bees had absurdly built the hive in mid-air, and strangely enough, the branches of the Mist-Imbibing Magnolia Tree had also reached up into mid-air.
From afar, it looked as if the Mist-Imbibing Magnolia Tree had grown several dozen feet taller, with branches nearly piercing the clouds.
"Another mutation?" Li Ye was first surprised, then excited.
The Mist-Imbibing Magnolia Tree was intelligent, and such a mutation hinted at a beneficial advantage, possibly enhancing the quality of the honey further.
The only vexation was that the honey given last time was already superior, even prompting Yang Ke from East Pole Yang Sea to write a letter of thanks with a large box of coral as a gift.
If further improvement were possible, then... only the inferior kind could be offered.
Great things must be revealed gradually, never all at once.
As he descended on the cloud, he noticed that many small hives had appeared around the top of the Mist-Imbibing Magnolia Flower, resembling pipes channeling the accumulated nectar downwards.
The bees worked below, systematically transporting the nectar to different hives, some of which contained bee nectar different from the magnolia nectar.
Li Ye merely swept his divine sense, recognizing the nectar as that from spirit plants he'd planted in the cave abode: lotus, gourd, and even gourd oil.
Moreover, the quality varied, with distinct spiritual qi emanating and being distributed into different hives.
"Hmm."
"What are you up to? Will it affect the purity of the honey?"
He directly asked the Mist-Imbibing Magnolia Tree.
The latter shook its branches, and immediately, the bees carried over several jade bottles he'd left behind, delivering them—various sizes—by flight.
Contained within the bottles was the different nectar.
Li Ye examined each bottle carefully, quickly gaining a clear understanding.
The blended honey not only preserved the original flavor of the Mist-Imbibing Magnolia but also introduced greater diversity in spiritual qi due to the added nectar, enhancing its taste.
"I didn't expect you to have such a skill."
He praised, "At first, I only paid attention to you but didn't realize that the Crystal Spirit Bees also needed to advance. I'll plant more spirit flowers around here, and you can take charge of the nectar then."
The response came from the Magnolia Tree's swaying branches.
As if to say: Leave it to me!
Li Ye found it amusing; since he was planning a renovation of the cave abode anyway, why not start now?
Considering the dividends from Earth Emotion Feed Store and the sporadically sold-off contributions he's saved, he possessed sufficient contributions and spirit stones to make a grand purchase.
After all, one earns money to spend it.
Thus, he began evaluating some spirit flowers capable of producing nectar.
He spent half a two-hour period perusing them.
As the Four Seasons Sect is indeed a prominent breeder, spirit bees are easy to rear.
Almost every Spirit Plant Master keeps a hive at home, even if not for selling, for leisurely enjoyment.
With so many spirit bees, a sufficient number of spirit flowers is needed for nectar collection, and so, nearly all common spirit flowers in the cultivation realm have been gathered.
Li Ye surveyed them, deciding that since his honey follows a premium route, he'd buy spirit plants primarily with sect contributions, supplemented by spirit stones.
