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

Chapter 151 Bamboo Spirit Scroll, Crow in the Coconut

His own natal sword was actually flirting with another cultivator!
If it were anyone else, Wei Qingye would have already been ready to explode, but this person is Li Ye... so he could only watch with a bitter expression.

The wind from the East Pole Yanghai Sea stirred the fallen leaves around them. Although it was warm like spring, it gave people a feeling of loneliness.

"..."

"Brother Wei, why have you gone to such lengths?"

Li Ye immediately recognized that it was Wei Qingye's sword energy that was causing the leaves to flutter. He hadn't expected him to do that.

However, it was the surge of sword energy that made him realize that this fellow Daoist already possessed a trace of the Golden Core aura.

It's estimated that achieving immortality isn't far off.

How long has it been?

After our last meeting, didn't he say he was going to the forbidden area of ​​Tianmai Sword Mountain to train and send the souls of his fellow disciples to be reincarnated? How come he suddenly wants to forge a golden core?

"Senior brother, senior, why don't we come inside and discuss this further!"

Ye Juan, who brought Li Ye over, was quite perceptive. Seeing that the two knew each other, she gave a wink to the Jinsha tribe members on the other side.

"Please come this way, seniors!"

The latter immediately led Li Ye and Wei Qingye into the backyard and into a bright and quiet room. On the way, he whispered to Li Ye what had happened.

"This senior just insisted on buying 10,000 Delicious Coconut Trees to take away. Once these coconut trees leave Golden Sand Island, they will become ordinary coconut trees. I really dare not sell them, in case I ruin my reputation."

This is indeed a bit strange.

Surely Tianmai Sword Mountain can't be so desperate for fruit trees that its disciples have to travel to various places to buy them; that would be hard to imagine.

He nodded slightly: "I'll find out in a bit."

The boss finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They were led into a quiet room with even greater enthusiasm, and served fragrant tea and local delicacies such as coconut cake.

Once inside the quiet room, Li Ye returned the flying sword that had been clinging to his hand to Wei Qingye, and then asked curiously:

"Why is Brother Wei so insistent on buying so many coconut trees?"

Wei Qingye stroked the flying sword with his fingers, then casually put it into the sword box before speaking, "I intend to give it to a mortal on an island."

Li Ye felt something was off: "A mortal?"
The Eastern Yang Sea is considered to be rich in resources throughout the entire Eastern Region, so there shouldn't be a situation where ordinary people can't afford to eat.

Moreover, it is common knowledge that the coconut trees used for delicacies will degenerate into ordinary coconut trees after leaving Jinsha Island.

Brother Wei, why don't you tell me the truth? There's much more I can do here in the Eastern Regions."

Under his sincere gaze, Wei Qingye felt unusually guilty. After thinking for a while, he sighed softly and said:
"Actually, it's not the Eastern Yang Sea."

"I want to take those coconut trees to conduct an experiment to see if they can still maintain their effectiveness when we return to the Southern Region."

Li Ye frowned.

The Four Seasons Sect values ​​spiritual plants highly, and some of the most valuable spiritual plants have been blessed with special supernatural powers.

After leaving the Eastern Region, the seeds conceived will become worse with each generation, and eventually they may not even be able to germinate.

Therefore, in most cases, there is no need to worry about the leakage of spiritual plants.

But it was precisely because of this that Li Ye became even more puzzled.

Before he could ask any further questions, Wei Qingye suddenly moved his lips, actually using a secret telepathic communication technique:
"It's related to the Spirit-Suppressing Bamboo you saw before, Brother Li."

“I previously obtained a book that contained a special technique.”

"When I came here to train, I unexpectedly discovered that these delicious coconut trees could resonate with the spiritual power of the Spirit Bamboo."

"If I follow the instructions in that book, perhaps... I can grow a body."

Li Ye's expression shifted as he carefully examined Wei Qingye:

"Brother Wei, are you planning to learn the supernatural powers of a spirit plant master? What brings you to such a whimsical idea all of a sudden?"

The Delicious Coconut Tree has been rooted in the Eastern Yang Sea for so long, and has been studied by many cultivators, yet none of them have discovered that it actually has the ability to grow into a physical body.

A sword cultivator was able to discover...

To be honest, Li Ye had some doubts.

That book must be a scam, right?

Wei Qingye had anticipated Li Ye's suspicions, as he actually only had a superficial understanding of the book.

After all, it involves knowledge related to spiritual plants, which is indeed a bit difficult for sword cultivators to learn.

With this in mind, he made a decision.

He extended a hand to Li Ye: "Let's work together."

"I need a body to house my soul. Brother Li, you must also be interested in the spiritual plant knowledge related to the delicious coconut tree."

"Wouldn't it be wonderful if we each got what we needed?"

Li Ye also extended a hand, saying meaningfully, "Brother Wei, this isn't a matter of mutual benefit."

"If you hand over this spell, the seniors of Heavenly Vein Sword Mountain can exchange it with our Four Seasons Sect for considerable benefits."

Wei Qingye shrugged: "This is my own good fortune. Besides, if I really handed it over to the sect, I might encounter some trouble."

Why don't we cooperate with you, Brother Li?

"Once it's in your hands, it's yours. Even if it's found out later that I'm involved, it doesn't matter."

As he spoke, he took out a book and handed it to Li Ye. On the leather cover was a line of text, the handwriting still bearing the lingering traces of madness:

"Only this method can mend the broken mirror."

Li Ye read the line aloud, gently twirled the book cover with his fingers, and his expression immediately changed: "This... should be the skin of some kind of spirit race that is very closely related to humans."

Could they be from the Jinsha tribe?

The book is made of human skin, and the madness that lingers in the handwriting is palpable.

Could this be an artifact from the demonic path?

No wonder Wei Qingye was worried about trouble if he handed it over; the sword cultivators' tolerance for demonic paths was far lower than that of the Four Seasons Sect.

He squinted, trying to get a closer look at the book.

It was at this moment that the panel suddenly took effect—

【Name】：Bamboo Spirit Scroll

[Mood]: Asleep, sad

[Status]: Deprived of spiritual nourishment, it has fallen into a near-permanent slumber.

[Can be bound]: Any spiritual plant that can provide it with spiritual energy and spirituality, allowing it to awaken.

"..."

This name sounds so familiar.

Didn't he already have a copy of the Huai Ling Scroll? Even the binding requirements are exactly the same.

wrong.

That only requires spiritual energy, and this also requires spirituality.

Although he concealed his change in expression very well, Wei Qingye, being so perceptive, still noticed it.

"Brother Li? Have you seen this before?"

“I have indeed seen a scroll that is very similar to this one,” Li Ye said selectively, then asked, “I suspect this is a set of scrolls.”

“It’s not impossible.” Wei Qingye recalled: “I took this item from a cave belonging to an ancient person. There were many… ink-wash monsters inside, each one lifelike.”

Especially one of the black cats, whose strength was close to the Nascent Soul stage. If I hadn't used a treasure given to me by the sect, I probably would have been in grave danger.

At this moment, Li Ye was no longer doubting, but certain that this was definitely it. What a coincidence that there was both a black cat and an ink-wash monster.

It's a pity that he left the Huai Ling Scroll at home, and that guy was unwilling to accept the constraints of the Bagua Sky Plate, otherwise he could still summon it to ask questions.

But since this matter involves the black cat, it's best to go back and ask that guy to avoid falling into unnecessary trouble.

So after a brief moment of thought, Li Ye said:

"If Brother Wei trusts me, I will look into this matter when I return to the sect, and I will inform you as soon as I have any news."

Wei Qingye raised an eyebrow. "Of course I trust Brother Li."

"With Brother Li taking care of this matter, I don't have to do any research because I don't understand it, which has given me a headache."

He stood up: "Then I'll leave this matter entirely to Brother Li. I've heard that there are many unusual monsters in the outer sea of ​​the Eastern Yang Sea. I'm going to loosen up my muscles!"

The bamboo sword, which had been lying obediently in its scabbard, suddenly came out of its sheath on its own. Wei Qingye flicked the bamboo sword with his finger, making a clear sound.

His body slowly merged with the bamboo sword.

"Whoosh-"

Then the bamboo sword drew a streak of light and disappeared in an instant at the confluence of the sky and the sea.

Li Ye was stunned by what he saw.

Is this the unity of man and sword? How can someone achieve this unity of man and sword without even having reached the Golden Core stage?
This kind of talent is rare even in the Heavenly Vein Sword Mountain.

"But is this guy doing this on purpose to show off?"

Li Ye really wanted to say something to him, but she gave up for the sake of the bamboo spirit scroll in her hand.

"Alright, let's take a look at what's inside first."

He reached out and flipped through the bamboo spirit scroll, quickly immersing himself in the knowledge recorded within.

The light outside the window went from bright to dark, and then from dark to bright again. After three days of this, Li Ye finally raised his head and let out a soft breath.

The gaze directed at the bamboo spirit scroll held a mixture of apprehension and delight.

There is only one spell in it, but it is extremely absurd.

Simply put, it involves using the ability of the Spirit-Bearing Bamboo to contain souls and the characteristic of the Delicious Coconut Tree to grow "meat" to create a body.

However, this body is more like a plant than a human's.

The bodies created in this way have the ability to contain souls that have lost their bodies, and can also have a long lifespan like that of spiritual plants.

Aside from requiring a massive amount of spiritual energy to maintain its physical form and being unable to cultivate, it has almost no drawbacks.

At first glance, this does seem like a very good method.

But there is another passage that seems to be related to this kind of magic, but it is incomplete and doesn't have a beginning or end.

That's ink painting.

The "Life-Giving Spirit Scroll," made with ink and residual spiritual energy, can reshape the physical body, nurture the spiritual, and ultimately lead to rebirth.

Furthermore, if one uses silkworm silk to construct meridians within the body, one can even gain a certain ability to cast spells.

The newly born soul needs the nourishment of spirituality, which can only be obtained from "spirits," that is, spirits nurtured by heaven and earth.

For example, the water spirits in Liye East Lake possess this spirituality that can nourish the soul.

This is not a mutually beneficial arrangement, but rather a one-sided act of plunder.

Imagine if a spiritual plant or beast you cherish, or even a loved one, passed away, and you were presented with such a method, a large number of cultivators would probably choose to use it.

There is great terror between life and death.

The greatest terror is the separation of life and death.

Even Li Ye, if his beavers, which he had raised for so long, suddenly died, would not be able to resist using this method.

The more someone values ​​relationships, the harder it is for them to let go.

"If Wei Qingye were to try this himself, it would probably turn out very badly."

After carefully reading the "Ink Painting Spirit Nourishing Method," Li Ye discovered that there were some pitfalls within it.

For example, to combine the physical body and soul of the delicious coconut tree, the person cultivating it needs to contribute some of their own primordial magic power and essence.

Moreover, without the help of the ink-silk, the body would not have meridians operating, requiring a continuous supply of spiritual energy from the outside, which would be a massive amount of spiritual energy.

Most importantly, this method is actually close to the magic of the demonic path. It is not easy to fix the soul in the body, and there may even be a backlash.

These are all conclusions he reached through analysis of existing circumstances and knowledge. In terms of life, death, and the soul, the Four Seasons Sect's lineage is much more reliable.

If Li Ye hadn't suddenly appeared here, Wei Qingye would probably have run into a lot of problems if he had done it himself.

"This guy is really..."

"Being able to inherit this kind of legacy is probably a matter of good luck, but you can also run into pitfalls and have bad luck."

Li Ye was speechless at Wei Qingye's terrible luck. Although suffering can make people grow, there were just too many of these hardships.

But to be honest, this guy always brings him some benefits every time he appears. Could this be considered a kind of mutual benefit?

His lips twitched involuntarily. He shook his head, sealed the bamboo spirit scroll with his magic, and temporarily put it into his storage ring.

That's all the pitfalls he can find so far. He needs to go back and ask Black Cat for more information. Also, he saw before that binding the Delicious Coconut Tree requires special "grass-type spirit plants".

Bamboo is actually a type of grass.

Just like bananas are actually grass.

Therefore, he now suspects that what it needs to be bound to is the Spirit-Wrapping Bamboo that Wei Qingye gave him as a gift!
If that's the case, then it saves him a lot of trouble.

He always carries that bamboo pendant with him.

Thinking of this, he stood up, walked out of the courtyard, and said to the servant waiting outside, "Call your master over, I have something to say."

The servant was waiting there for Li Ye to come out. Upon hearing the order, he quickly ran off to call for him.

Before long, Junior Sister Ye Juan and the Golden Sand Clan cultivator from before walked over together.

The latter bowed to Li Ye and said gratefully, "Thank you for your help, senior. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to refuse that sword cultivator!"

"You did the right thing."

"This should definitely be stopped."

However, I also want to buy some Jade Banana Trees, Delicious Coconut Trees, and other unique spiritual plants or beasts from the East Pole Yanghai region.

Could you help me calculate how many spirit stones I need?

The boss, of course, would not refuse Li Ye's request. He immediately took out a book and began to introduce some local spiritual plants and beasts.

"Besides the delicious coconut palms and banana trees, we also have..."

Considering that raising and cultivating these spiritual plants and beasts would require creating a small "sea area" inside the cave, it is estimated that such an area would be necessary.

There's no need to worry about the sea area; now that he has made contributions to the sect, he's able to buy Sea Spirit Land.

But that would require a lot of spirit stones, so he didn't ask for many.

Moreover, what he is most concerned about now is whether the Delicious Coconut Tree and the Spirit-Wrapping Bamboo can be bound together.

So after obtaining a batch of delicacies from the coconut trees, they entered the small courtyard they had visited before, set up an array, and then used the spiritual power of the Jianmu tree to spread it out.

They only planned to bind the device after ensuring that no one would be watching.

Indeed, it turned out just as he had thought.

The Delicious Coconut Tree and the Spirit-Binding Bamboo can indeed be bound together.

However, binding it requires a full 10,000 points of vitality essence—keep in mind that the Delicious Coconut Tree is only a second-tier spiritual plant, while the Spirit Bamboo is only a fourth-tier spiritual plant.

You get what you pay for.

"Let me see why you need so much!"

Without hesitation, Li Ye spent 10,000 points of Vitality Essence to bind and coexist. After the Vitality Essence was consumed...

The originally listless Spirit Bamboo suddenly became ethereal, and then transformed into a stream of light that disappeared into the Delicious Coconut Tree.

The coconut tree began to absorb the spiritual energy from its surroundings.

One by one, the coconuts that were growing there fell off, except for one that stubbornly clung to the ground and grew larger and larger.

The rough surface of the coconut becomes smooth and translucent.

You can clearly see the seeds growing inside and what's inside them.

Inside there...

It turned out to be a three-legged crow.
