Li Ye held out his hand to the swarm. "Give me some honey."
As soon as he spoke, before the bees could react and bring over the honey, a sneaky, legged locust tree directly grabbed a handful of honey and offered it to Li Ye with eager eyes.
"Locust Spirit Courier?" Looking at the legged locust tree, Li Ye had nearly forgotten that this fellow even existed.
After returning from Tianhe City, Li Ye had left it in Hongdou's care. He had not expected it to be trained only now.
The azure bird landed on Li Ye's shoulder and chirped twice at the locust spirit.
The latter immediately hurried back into the house, made a cup of warm honey water, and brought it over, holding it up in both hands as it gazed eagerly at Li Ye.
"..."
"I have you to thank for this."
Li Ye stroked the azure bird's head and teased it before taking the cup of honey water and savoring it carefully.
The taste was unexpected.
It was very faint—one could even say it had no taste at all, like an ordinary cup of warm water. Yet after he finished it and smacked his lips, a trace of sweetness slowly welled up.
The flavor was light, yet it lingered long, carrying a faint warmth.
The spiritual power within was also exceptionally gentle. If Li Ye had not been paying attention, he might not even have noticed spiritual power entering his body.
It was as though it were simply an ordinary cup of honey water, leaving fragrance behind on his lips and teeth.
Now that he was on familiar terms with Su Ya, Li Ye naturally knew that Spirit Materials with such gentle spiritual power were excellent ingredients for alchemy, and could even be used as catalysts.
