There were five resource points in total. The first three, which the Huang Family already possessed in large quantities, were Fire Fiend Bean, Flame Marsh Grass, and Provoke Fire Bamboo. The latter two, the Black-and-White Fire Bear and Cremation Mushroom, were comparatively rare and had been purchased from Treasure Yellow Heaven.
These resource points had been selected specifically for the Southern Li Fire Plains. Using the Red Emperor Earth as a foundation and the Desolate Plant Attract Fire Immortal Bamboo as the core, they would form the framework of the region's first ecological chain.
Among them, Fire Fiend Bean played the role of enriching the soil. It continuously improved the fertility of the Red Emperor Earth, creating favorable conditions for the large-scale cultivation of Provoke Fire Bamboo.
Provoke Fire Bamboo was the core resource of the entire system. Not only could it serve as food for numerous Flame Path Gu worms, but its evolved form, Attract Fire Immortal Bamboo, was also the food required by Fire Control Immortal Gu.
As for the Black-and-White Fire Bear, it occupied a higher position in the food chain.
After all, once Attract Fire Immortal Bamboo was planted, the powerful Flame Path dao marks contained within the Desolate Plant would gradually transform the surrounding environment into one highly suitable for the growth of Provoke Fire Bamboo, much like the situation at Zen Crossing Hill.
If the bamboo forests expanded unchecked, they would continuously consume Earth Path resources and eventually disrupt the ecological balance. Allowing such a large amount of bamboo to grow without proper utilization would also be wasteful.
The Black-and-White Fire Bear was the solution to this problem.
This beast herd naturally fed on fire-attributed bamboo, allowing it to control the spread of Provoke Fire Bamboo while converting excess growth into a valuable resource. At the same time, the bamboo forests nourished the Attract Fire Immortal Bamboo in return, helping it grow stronger. Given enough time, there might even be a chance for it to advance into a Rank 7 Ancient Desolate Plant.
As for the Cremation Mushroom, its role was equally important.
Although the Black-and-White Fire Bear was primarily known for feeding on bamboo, it was actually omnivorous and consumed many highly destructive Flame Path plants. The waste it produced contained strong burning properties and was difficult for ordinary soil to absorb.
Cremation Mushroom specialized in solving this issue.
It could rapidly decompose beast waste, returning nutrients to the land. Its root system spread deep underground, helping stabilize the soil and preserve fertility. Most importantly, it occupied almost no surface area, making it an extremely efficient supporting resource.
Finally, there was Flame Marsh Grass.
Its individual consumption of Earth Path resources was insignificant, but its growth speed was astonishing. Once planted on a large scale, its total resource consumption became considerable. At the same time, it served as food for numerous Gu worms and lower-level creatures, making it one of the foundations of the entire ecological chain.
Viewed separately, none of these resource points seemed particularly remarkable. However, when combined, they formed a complete cycle of growth, consumption, decomposition, and regeneration. This was precisely the type of self-sustaining ecosystem Lin Yan wanted to establish within the Southern Li Fire Plains.
Achieving such a balance, however, was far from easy.
Unlike blessed lands of many other paths, a Flame Path Blessed Land could not simply rely on ordinary vegetation to stabilize the environment. Nearly every plant capable of surviving within Red Emperor Earth was itself a valuable resource, consuming large amounts of Earth Path resources as it grew.
For this reason, every species introduced into the Southern Li Fire Plains had to be selected carefully. A single mistake could disrupt the balance of the entire ecosystem.
After confirming the feasibility of his plan, Lin Yan shifted his attention back to Treasure Yellow Heaven.
As his divine sense moved through the countless transactions flowing across the circular mirror, he also posted a purchase request for Wisdom Path inheritances. Although he possessed Dream Derivation Gu, his foundation in Wisdom Path remained shallow. If he wished to fully utilize the Immortal Gu's capabilities and improve his deduction abilities in the future, acquiring suitable Wisdom Path inheritances was unavoidable.
At the same time, his divine sense swept through the various stalls of Gu Immortals, searching for sellers offering Black-and-White Fire Bears and Cremation Mushrooms.
