When Senior Sister Gu brought in a Blood Spirit Sect cultivator who had exploited Jiang, Li Ye discovered a damaged Golden Core demon beast hidden inside the man.

• Li Ye and Senior Sister Gu found Jiang Tingchao growing Silver Moon Grass in blood and learned that he had ended his spirit-source lease because he was short of Spirit Stones.

• Li Ye pressured the cultivator for an explanation, causing him to vomit a fleeing lump of flesh, which Li Ye trapped and identified as Blood Spirit Whale Meat containing a damaged Golden Core.

• Li Ye and Senior Sister Gu questioned the red-robed cultivator, who confessed that he had found a Blood Spirit Whale and planned to use its goldsand to offer a Goldsand Spirit Field to a Four Seasons Sect Golden Core.
• A Golden Core aura authorized Li Ye and Senior Sister Gu to keep the gains from the case, and Senior Sister Gu took the red-robed cultivator to Willow Peak Prison while giving Li Ye the extracted information.
• Li Ye met Yang Ke, released his hungry Beavers to feast, and asked Yang Ke to guide him to the place where the Blood Spirit Whale might be found.
• Yang Ke revealed that the destination was Ruoquan Island, where a Golden Core Micro-Stream Beaver occupied an inn; Li Ye sensed a special opportunity there and gifted Yang Ke a Moon Dominion Spirit Fire seed.
• Li Ye and Yang Ke paid for lodging and were transported to Ruo Xian Pavilion, where Li Ye discovered that the island’s fifth-tier spirit vein let guests absorb abundant spiritual energy without cultivating.

Li Ye and Yang Ke explored the luxurious Ruoquan Island residence, where Li Ye suspected the island was a Heart Grass illusion and decided to search for the Blood Spirit Whale and leave. The Beavers vanished from the shore and awoke inside the mindscape, where an elderly Ruoquan Island Beaver asked them to succeed it in containing the whale, but they refused and wounded it with a lotus petal.

• Li Ye released the Beavers to play on the shore while he and Yang Ke explored the residence and learned that its servants were strange incarnations of the Ruoquan Island Beaver.
• Li Ye used Heart Grass power to inspect the island, suspected it was a Heartscape Illusion, and chose to skip the Ruo Spring and find the Blood Spirit Whale.
• Li Ye discovered the Beavers had disappeared from the shore and worried that the island could affect his Divine Sense.
• The Beavers awoke in a white land filled with Heart Grass, where an elderly Beaver revealed that it was maintaining the mindscape and suppressing the Blood Spirit Whale.
• The elderly Beaver asked the Beavers to become its successor and invited Li Ye into the mindscape, but they suspected a trap and refused.
• One Beaver struck the elderly Beaver with a lotus petal, summoning Hungry Ghosts as the phantom of a sundial behind the elder began to fade.

Li Ye rescued the Beavers from the Heart Grass’s white radiance, but the spreading light engulfed Ruoquan Island and left him unconscious. He awoke beside Senior Brother Jiang, another disciple of Su Xing who claimed Ruoquan Island as his cultivation ground, and followed him toward a Ruomu Branch.

• Li Ye used the Jianmu to reach and retrieve the Beavers, then escaped with Yang Ke as the Heart Grass’s radiance spread across Ruoquan Island and swallowed its residents.
• At Four Seasons Market, a woman ordered the Heaven-Sea Water Curtain raised around Ruoquan Island, assigned the Celestial Phenomena Formation to a Merfolk Clan cultivator, and left to consult Su Xing.
• Li Ye woke on Ruoquan Island, learned that the handsome cultivator beside him was Senior Brother Jiang and another disciple of Su Xing, and confirmed his identity with his jade pendant and the Heartfelt Melody.

• Senior Brother Jiang showed Li Ye the island’s spirit plants and gave him a Spring Bloom Autumn Peach, which restored three hundred points of Vital Essence.
• Li Ye and Senior Brother Jiang reached a golden sand sea, where a small tree stood surrounded by darkness.

Li Ye learned two Heartscape techniques from Senior Brother, first extending a beach with Rifting Sand to Fill the Sea and then shaping seawater with Molding Water into Mountains. His attempt produced a sentient Heart-Earth Spirit resembling a turtle with a gourd shell, leaving Senior Brother astonished.

• Li Ye and Senior Brother approached a Ruo Tree branch, where its peaceful nightfall eased Li Ye and helped Yang Ke recover as he slept beneath it.
• Senior Brother questioned Li Ye about the Earth Sentiment Technique and Heartscape Illusion, then demonstrated how Rifting Sand to Fill the Sea extended the beach.
• Li Ye practiced the technique and pushed the shoreline out by half an inch, earning praise and receiving a Ruo Tree branch and Spring Bloom Autumn Peach.
• Senior Brother taught Li Ye Molding Water into Mountains, using Heart Power and five-element qi to turn seawater into earth.
• After more than ten days of practice, Li Ye used his Gourd Oil to create a turtle-shaped Heart-Earth Spirit, bewildering Senior Brother.

Li Ye met the Heart-Earth Spirit and learned Beaver Xiaobai’s Heartscape Illusion had trapped cultivators on Ruoquan Island, then waited with Yang Ke as the Blood Spirit Whale’s golden-sand blood erupted from the ground. His master contacted him and gave him a starlit ruler, ordering him to use the two spells his senior brother had taught him to break down the island’s Heart Power.

• Li Ye calmed the newly formed Heart-Earth Spirit, learned how to knead Heart Power into mountains, and heard Senior Brother tell him to take the spirit along and make it a field of heart-earth.
• Beaver Xiaobai admitted it had sustained the Heartscape Illusion for a thousand years, opened gaps to the demon-beast hunt outside, and sent Li Ye away as Senior Brother’s fading phantom asked him to look after Xiaobai.
• Li Ye fought off attacking demon beasts, hid with the sleeping Yang Ke inside a concealed array, and later told Yang Ke they were still on Ruoquan Island.
• Several days later, golden, foul-smelling blood surged from the ground, and Li Ye recognized it as the Blood Spirit Whale’s Gold Sand Bloodline.
• Li Ye’s master contacted him, ordered him to use the two spells Senior Brother had taught him to break down the island’s Heart Power, and sent a powerful starlit ruler to him.

Li Ye dismantled Beaver Xiaobai’s Heart Power island with the Heaven-Measuring Ruler, restoring it to water and gaining a rare water vein containing the Blood Spirit Whale. After Yang Ke and his father praised the water’s sleep-inducing spiritual power, Li Ye proposed cultivating it into a product to sell to the Merfolk Clan.

• Li Ye accepted the Heaven-Measuring Ruler’s power and, with Beaver Xiaobai’s structural map, began turning the Heart Power forming the island back into water.
• Li Ye’s work broke the island’s spatial barrier, allowing seawater to rush in; Yang Ke’s father controlled the waves and helped protect the cultivators from the Blood Spirit Whale.
• The Heaven-Measuring Ruler took Beaver Xiaobai, the other Beavers, and nearby treasures away, while Li Ye kept a water-vein sphere containing the Blood Spirit Whale.
• Yang Ke thanked Li Ye and offered him a shell of pearls, then asked whether Li Ye would sell the water from his new water vein.
• Yang Ke’s father explained that the Ruo Spring’s spiritual power could help Merfolk sleep, and Li Ye proposed enhancing the water with his Ruo Tree branch before arranging a contract.

Li Ye learned that Jiang Tingchao had no connection to his Senior Brother, then took charge of cloud seeding and rain making at Eastern Peak Market for a month. His unusually intuitive rainfall improved the market, and the former rainmaking cultivator asked his master to let Li Ye stay and explain how he did it.

• The Nascent Soul True Person explained that the sect had not known about Jiang Tingchao or the Blood Spirit Whale and warned that Jiang’s Gold Sand Bloodline likely prevented him from leaving the Eastern Yang Sea.
• Li Ye asked whether Jiang Tingchao was connected to his Senior Brother, and the True Person said he could pursue his plans as long as he tried not to kill Jiang.
• The True Person sent Li Ye to the Celestial Phenomena Formation and assigned him to manage Eastern Peak Market’s weather for one month.
• Ye Juan guided Li Ye through fields of Jade Banana Grass, and he agreed to visit Gold Sand Island after finishing his task.
• Li Ye used the formation to bring rain according to his perceptions, and the market’s spirit plants, spirit beasts, and cultivators benefited from the changing weather.
• The Golden Core cultivator who had previously managed rainfall asked the True Person to keep Li Ye there so he could learn from him.

Li Ye discussed the results of his unconventional rainmaking with seven Four Seasons Sect Golden Core True Persons and received seven thousand Spirit Stones. On Gold Sand Island, he discovered Culinary Coconut Trees that grew meat inside their coconuts and decided to study them, then encountered Wei Qingye arguing with a Gold Sand Clan member.

• Seven Golden Core True Persons asked Li Ye to explain his rainmaking, and he suggested that unpredictable weather might benefit the land and its inhabitants without taking a firm position on the sect’s rules.
• The True Persons accepted Li Ye’s advice as useful, gave him seven jade boxes containing a thousand natural Spirit Stones each, and resolved to discuss the matter with their seniors.
• Li Ye arrived at Gold Sand Island, where Ye Juan showed him a Culinary Coconut that contained pork-belly-like meat.
• Li Ye discovered that the Culinary Coconut Tree could bind as a spiritual plant and decided to buy trees and Jade Banana Grass to cultivate and investigate them on the island.
• Li Ye entered a courtyard where Wei Qingye was arguing with a Gold Sand Clan member, and Wei Qingye’s bamboo sword eagerly rubbed against Li Ye’s arm.
