Symbiotic panel, I am cultivating immortality in the world of immortality

Chapter 139 Flint Moon Crystal Butterfly, Wangshu Clan

Li Ye, who was lying on the ground pretending to be a vine, immediately sensed that something was wrong.

He looked up and glanced at it.

Surprisingly, the little white flowers on the vines were in full bloom.

—A bright moon in the sky poured out its watery moonlight, illuminating every detail of the entire cave.

It seemed that one could vaguely see the figure of a woman sitting in the full moon, with long celestial ribbons gathering into streamers around her in the moonlight.

One of them is extending towards the location where Su Ya is in seclusion.

"The Moon Goddess Wangshu?"

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then quickly tried to return to his original form.

But before he could extend his vines, the moonlight beside him carried a soft, breathy "shh—" on the wind.

In a daze, he seemed to see a graceful figure with a long skirt trailing behind her. He couldn't see her face clearly, but a woman with slender fingers raised made a shushing gesture to him.

His movements immediately stopped.

They watched helplessly as the immortal ribbon rolled out several pills, each the size of a longan and with crescent moon patterns on their surface, from where Su Ya was in seclusion.

Then... it shrank back.

Its arrival seemed to be solely for the purpose of taking away those few pills.

The moonlight also returned completely.

However, a small ball of light was floating next to Li Ye, and several pieces of silvery-white jade were also floating next to Su Ya in the alchemy room.

"So that's what they wanted – pills."

Li Ye quickly returned to his body and reached out to grab the small ball of light that was lying to the side.

This ball of light is about one or two ounces of "water".

Moonlight Divine Water.

Moonlight Divine Water, one of the Three Lights Divine Waters.

"That's really generous."

Moonlight Divine Water isn't even sold at the Four Seasons Sect; you have to complete some very troublesome sect quests to obtain it.

If a cultivator drinks it, it can cleanse their bones and consciousness. If fed to a spirit beast or plant, there is a certain probability that it will allow the spirit beast or plant to comprehend supernatural abilities related to moonlight.

"You can put it away."

"Yes."

He handed the small ball of light to Lingji Teng, who was waiting nearby. Lingji Teng immediately took it and used its body to put the Moonlight Divine Water into the storage cabinet in Li Ye's courtyard.

This is one of the little abilities of the Spirit Vine; its vine body is equivalent to a spatial channel, allowing it to transfer items within the cave.

Only after watching it put the things away did Li Ye stand up.

While sensing the changes in the spiritual energy within his body, he walked towards Su Ya.

Immersed in the feeling of the Spirit Vine this time, I also used the Melody of Understanding. My cultivation level did not increase directly, but my understanding of heaven and earth and nature reached a new level.

The symphony has clearly advanced to the next level.

Furthermore, the branches of the Jianmu tree were finally able to truly detach from his body and come into contact with the outside world. With the help of the Jianmu tree's power, he was able to unleash many unique supernatural abilities.

In particular, some of the supernatural powers that are beneficial to spiritual plants and beasts, such as regulating spiritual energy, promoting growth, and awakening spirits, are more than twice as effective when performed through the Jianmu tree itself.

"It's actually quite good."

"It didn't increase strength, but rather control."

This was actually a good thing for him, as his cultivation level had improved too quickly, reaching the seventh level of Foundation Establishment in just over a year.

With that thought in mind, he had already walked over to Su Ya.

They happened to run into Su Ya, who looked terrified.

"What's wrong, senior brother?" He was very curious, as he had never seen Su Ya like this before.

"Look!" Su Ya handed Li Ye a note as soon as he saw him.

There were six large characters on it: "The more elixirs, the better."

The handwriting exudes a cool and mysterious moonlight quality, and its elegant and delicate strokes suggest it was most likely written by a woman.

Adding to the scene Li Ye just witnessed...

"Tsk, tsk."

"This must be a request from Lord Wangshu, right?"

Li Ye couldn't help but laugh: "Isn't this a good thing? That lord must have given you a reward, right?"

Su Ya rolled her eyes: "Normally, the pills supplied to Lord Wangshu are supplied by a newly opened branch of the Alchemy Hall, with hundreds of alchemists working together."

Now I'm all alone...

He shuddered, his smile turning bitter: "Even if you locked me in the alchemy room, I still couldn't refine that many pills."

The thought of having to refine the same pill day and night made him feel terrible.

After all, what he studied was not the path of a specialist alchemist who could refine a single type of pill, but rather the path of an alchemist who could summarize the changes in pills and forge his own path.

"Don't be hasty, don't be hasty."

Li Ye comforted him, "If you want to refine pills, you'll still need the Moonfire I supply, right? This kind of fire... um?"

He was about to say something when he suddenly sensed a change in the spiritual energy at the Moonlit Spirit Land in the distance.

The moonlight in the sky is slowly disappearing.

Through the Spirit Vine, one can see that a flame suddenly ignited where Silver Moon Grass and Flint Crystal Insects were growing. The flame was a deep silver color and used moonlight as fuel.

When Li Ye noticed them, the flames were already slowly shrinking, turning into a stream of light that landed on the Silver Moon Grass, forming tiny sparks that burned continuously at the top of the grass.

The flint crystal beetle seemed quite curious about the flames, and it stubbornly moved its chubby body to climb to the top of the silver moon grass, then nibbled at the embers.

Its body, which was originally tinged with red, instantly turned completely silver, while the tender bud on its head changed from silver to red.

Although the Spirit Vine can serve as an extension of Li Ye's divine sense, it cannot activate the panel's abilities. Judging solely from its spiritual power and appearance, it should no longer be the "Flint Crystal Insect".

It is now called "Moon Guardian Insect".

The heat of the flint within its body had been completely concentrated in the tender bud on its head, while it itself was enveloped in the cool chill of the Moon Guardian Spirit Fire.

They were still spewing flames, their plump bodies wriggling inside, seemingly quite pleased with themselves.

Okay, then we don't have to worry about the fire anymore.

but……

Li Ye stared at the flint crystal insects, feeling that they were doing something they couldn't say outright as they rubbed against the silver moon grass.

The spiritual liquid belonging to the Flint Crystal Insects and the spiritual power of the Silver Moon Grass merged together.

Upon seeing this scene, he knew he was about to witness the "spectacle" of spirit insects and spirit plants giving birth to offspring.

So, is the panel's most powerful ability actually to act as a matchmaker? It can combine originally unrelated spiritual plants and spiritual beasts, and even produce the next generation.

The Flint Crystal Insect and Silver Moon Grass were his earliest spirit beasts and spirit plants, and he was quite curious about what kind of species these two could produce. So he apologized to Su Ya and came here in person.

He sat on the snowdrift, staring at the flint worm that was wriggling faster and faster, and could clearly see some tiny "beads" falling off the end of its tail.

As they fell onto the snow, the beads slowly cracked, revealing butterfly wings with a deep, flint-like color and bodies that were translucent, silvery-white.

They fluttered lightly, their flame-shaped wings dancing around them, scattering moonlight like fine sand wherever they went.

【Name】：Flint Moon Crystal Butterfly
Mood: None

[Status]: Born from the interaction of flint and moon spirit fire, it will survive forever under the moon and in an environment rich in flint.

"It's really strange that an insect and a blade of grass could produce a butterfly."

Li Ye stretched out his finger towards the Flint Moon Crystal Butterfly, which immediately flew over and landed lightly on his fingertip. The heat of the flint and the coolness of the moonlight presented a contrasting sensation of ice and fire.

"What use are you?" he said softly.

This little guy is clearly intelligent, and may even be quite intelligent. After hearing Li Ye's voice, it flapped its wings and began to fly.

The moonlight falling from the sky mingled with the flint on its body, and tiny crystals, the size of grains of rice, slowly fell.

Meanwhile, it itself is rapidly shrinking.

In the end... it completely disappeared.

The breath completely disappeared.

"Ok?"

"They traded their lives for these crystals?"

Li Ye was slightly moved. Although he had just met these little guys, they were, after all, the offspring of the Firefly Crystal Insects and Silver Moon Grass that he had raised for so long.

Using the analogy of a grandfather watching his grandson might not be quite accurate, but it's not far off. Watching them disappear like this still makes me feel a little sad.

This should be a completely new species.

What exactly did they exchange their lives for?
Li Ye reached out to grab the crystals that had fallen to the snow, but before he could catch them, the surrounding moonlight suddenly became even brighter.

A bright moon reappeared in the sky.

"..."

"what?"

Is this your third time here?
This left Li Ye speechless.

The moonlight descended swiftly, scattering across the crystals on the ground.

The spiritual energy emanating from the crystals was drawn by the moonlight, slowly outlining a moon about the size of a millstone in mid-air.

It replaced the omnipresent moonlight in the original Moonlit Spirit Land, carrying a cool and divine quality.

The dead Flint Moon Butterfly was resurrected by its light, and its luster and spiritual power were replaced by a greater force.

A halo, like moonlight, appeared around the Flint Moon Crystal Butterfly.

As it flapped its wings and flew around, the bright moonlight shone on the snow and trees.

Li Ye could sense that the moonlight in the Moonlight Spirit Land had obviously increased.

The names of those Flint Moon Crystal Butterflies have been appended with the suffix "[Wangshu Clan]".

In other words, these little guys are now beings blessed by Lord Wangshu.

……

After observing for a period of time, Li Ye can now confirm that the moonlight on these Flint Moon Crystal Butterflies comes from the "moon" that has been floating in the sky for a while, about the size of a millstone.

The moon transmits its power to them, and through their halo, it bathes the entire sacred land in moonlight.

The moonlight they cast was far superior to the moonlight supplied by the Moonlit Spirit Land that Li Ye had purchased, and its purity was more than twice as high.

The effects we can see now are that they can shower down moonlight at any time, release flint and moon-governing spirit fire, and intermittently produce those crystals.

The crystal's spiritual energy is composed of flint and moon-governing spiritual fire, which can be used as fuel for the fire seed, further purifying and enhancing its spiritual energy.

After drawing these conclusions, Li Ye looked up at the sky and held a small piece of paper made of moonlight in his hand.

It read: "The more pills the better, as a reward."

Seeing this, Li Ye could easily understand why Lord Wang Shu had immediately bestowed blessings and promoted the development of his clan after he had just mentioned that the output of Moonfire was insufficient.

"It seems that this pill is of very good quality."

"We really need to discuss this with Senior Brother Su Ya. If the supply of these pills is too small, Lord Wang Shu might get angry..."

"Besides, it's been several months now, the Silver Moon Grass in the market should be ready for harvest by now, right?"

Li Ye had been in seclusion for nearly three months, spanning almost half of the winter, in order to cultivate the Spirit Vine. It was time for him to go out and take care of some things that needed his attention.

After all, my pockets are empty right now, but the Silvermoon Grass quest offers considerable rewards.

Thinking of this, he quickly returned to Su Ya's side.

He said directly to Su Ya, "Don't worry about the Moonfire. Does Senior Brother Su have any recommendations for senior brothers or sisters who can refine pills together?"
Lord Wangshu must need a lot of elixirs.

"And the Moon Essence Pearls of Silvermoon Grass should have been returned by now; it's time for us to get busy."

Su Ya had already considered what might happen, so she wasn't very surprised when she heard what Li Ye said.

He replied, "There are indeed a few. Junior brother, you can rest assured to leave this matter to me."

Since Lord Shu's decree is here, we should be able to apply to enter a grotto-heaven related to the moon's essence. With the assistance of this grotto-heaven, refining the Moon Essence Pearl that you are about to separate should be much smoother.

We'll discuss how to divide the profits afterward.

"I'll leave the task of finding the grotto-heaven to you, junior brother. Let's split up and find it. Once you've found it, just let me know."

Neither of them were coy or hesitant; they acted on their words immediately.

They immediately split up to act.

Su Ya went to find an alchemist who could refine pills, while Li Ye took two small pieces of paper and went straight to the Hall of Affairs.

When he took out the two pieces of paper with elegant handwriting, the disciples of the Deacon Hall almost popped their eyes out.

This disciple had met Li Ye several times before; he was the first disciple when Li Ye came to collect the scriptures.

"Senior brother..."

He immediately checked the cave heavens that could be entered now, his face showing a hint of apology: "Because of the Silver Moon Grass mission, many cave heavens have already been borrowed by Golden Core cultivators."

There is a grotto-heaven that could be opened to the public, but the moonlight and tides inside are somewhat chaotic; I'm not sure if it's feasible.

As he said this, he waved his hand.

The scenery around Li Ye changed rapidly, from the brightly lit deacon hall to a towering white sea cliff.

Looking around, all I could see was a silver sea, but this silver sea was surging with turbulent tides and waves.

The largest waves can reach hundreds of feet high, engulfing the sea cliff. Without the help of the formation, the sea cliff would probably have been washed away by the tide.

This situation and environment...

Li Ye frowned: "Aren't there any other hidden paradises we can go to?"

The disciple said apologetically, "Only this place has a complete alchemy array and a moon liquid pearl sorting array, and the other eight sea cliffs in this cave have already been rented out."

"And it's strange, this tide seems to have appeared not long ago, it must have been caused by some god within the gate."

His expression was a bit strange; he had worked here for decades and had never seen anything like it before.

These grottoes are open to the public every year for separating and processing lunar liquid beads and refining elixirs. They have always been calm and peaceful inside. Why are they suddenly so violent today?
"..."

Could it be that Lord Wangshu was behind this?
Li Ye thought that was very likely the case. If that was the case, then this matter was related to him?

If I were to go there myself, would things change?

"Then let's go with this one. Give me the key to the cave."

Without hesitation, he asked for the key to this cave.

Even if nothing changes, we'll still rent it.

If we don't rent it out soon, it will definitely be taken over by the Golden Core cultivators.

After all, without Wang Shu's decree, they probably wouldn't have been able to occupy a sea cliff.

This already counts as exploiting a loophole.

Without the assistance of this Moonlit Cave, he would find it very difficult to process the Moon Liquid Pearl, and refining pills would also be troublesome.

Compared to some chaotic spiritual energy environments, having auxiliary effects is still the most important.

There's really no way to find fault with it.
