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

Chapter 152 Golden Sand Crow, Ruomu Bound
It looks delicious?

Li Ye remembered a local delicacy called coconut chicken, which was made by mixing sweet coconut water with locally produced chicken, resulting in a sweet and tender dish.

Crows are birds too, so they probably don't taste that different.

He licked his lips.

"..."

"I'm so hungry, I keep thinking about food."

He shook his head with a wry smile, squinting as he tried to make out that it was just a fledgling crow.

The panel continued to perform its function diligently.

[Name]: Golden Crow

Mood: None

[Status]: A life form without any self-spirit, which will attract attacks from many wandering ghosts during its gestation process, and has a perfect body.

There is no self-spirituality.

That would be like having only an empty shell.

Just as he was feeling puzzled, he suddenly felt that his formation had been touched by something, and the spiritual energy network of Jianmu also trembled slightly.

It was a sinister atmosphere.

"What is that, a ghost?"

Li Ye reached out and grabbed a strangely shaped soul with his spiritual energy.

The soul was gray and dull, its eyes filled with only instinctive desire. Even when grabbed by the powerful spiritual force, it kept wriggling toward the delicious coconut tree.

"To be able to penetrate my formation and detect that Golden Sand Crow, this... is a bit too exaggerated."

He had just muttered this when his expression suddenly changed, and he scanned his surroundings with his divine sense.

Suddenly, at least a dozen more eerie, vengeful spirits appeared around the formation, desperately gnawing at it, trying to squeeze inside.

And even further away, more wronged souls emerge from the earth.

"It's really annoying."

Li Ye frowned, took a red bean out of his pocket, and tossed it out.

As the red bean flew, it transformed into a bluebird, chirped joyfully, and left the magic circle.

Then a thin stream of fire shot out, instantly burning the vengeful spirits that were trying to surge forward to ashes.

With so many wronged souls suddenly appearing, the Jinsha tribe boss naturally rushed over immediately.

But he stood outside looking awkward and nervous.

He asked Ye Juan, "Fellow Daoist Ye, about this matter..."

Ye Juan glanced at him and said calmly, "This is my senior brother from the Four Seasons Sect. It's normal for him to cause strange phenomena in the heavens and earth when he cultivates."

"But you, fellow Daoist, why are there so many wronged souls down here?"

—At this moment, the entire inn became eerily quiet, with countless wronged souls crawling out of the ground on their hands and feet. Many cultivators were shocked by this scene.

You should know that this is the Easternmost Yanghai Sea!

As you can tell from the name, this place is famous throughout the Eastern Region and even the cultivation world for its abundant yang energy. It is almost impossible for vengeful spirits, which are yin in nature, to exist here.

But now there are so many.

The boss's face immediately turned pale.

He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I'm doing legitimate business! As you know, Fairy Ye, I've never done anything like murder or burying corpses!"

Ye Juan smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying.

Although she and the boss had a good relationship, this situation was very abnormal and should definitely be reported and investigated.

Any small oversight could lead to disaster, let alone in the current situation, so a thorough investigation is definitely necessary.

She instructed, "To ensure my senior brother can successfully complete his cultivation of supernatural powers, let's temporarily seal off this place, but we can let the wronged spirits in."

She just finished speaking.

The ground suddenly began to tremble.

"Boom!"

One after another, eerie and ghostly energy surged from the ground like a spring.

Not only in the vicinity of this inn, but the ghostly aura continued to spread outwards, until the ground of the entire island was filled with a fountain-like ghostly aura.

"Ok?"

"Why is this?"

"Ghostly aura?"

The cultivators who were selecting items at the market on Golden Sand Island were all incredulous, but not much afraid. They simply raised their spiritual power to block the ghostly aura, their eyes filled with obvious curiosity.

For cultivators, this abnormal situation means that a treasure will appear in the world. If a treasure appears, it may be an extraordinary opportunity.

However, what they didn't expect was...

The dark gray ghostly aura, mixed with resentment and longing, completely ignored the people along the way and surged straight toward the inn.

Upon seeing this, the bluebird flapped its wings and let out a high-pitched cry.

"Chirp!"

Its size remained unchanged, but the flames it spewed from its mouth grew several times larger, transforming into a wall of fire that blocked the resentment and vengeful spirits attacking from all directions.

As Li Ye's cultivation level has risen significantly, many of its seals have actually been broken.

The flames it spews are even at the level of a Golden Core cultivator.

The clear chirping sound reached the inn, meaning that Li Ye could rest assured that with it outside, there would be no accidents.

Li Ye, sitting in the courtyard, frowned slightly.

He could sense an increasing amount of the salty, fishy smell of the ocean within the surging resentment, meaning it was coming from the seabed.

He didn't know how long it would take for the Golden Sand Crow to take shape. If these vengeful spirits kept coming, would it trigger a riot of resentment in the seabed? Would it bring forth some powerful vengeful ghosts that he couldn't resist?
"This is both a bad thing and an opportunity."

"If we can get rid of the vengeful spirits and evil ghosts lurking in the seabed, it will be a good thing for this place. Besides, the materials dropped by the vengeful spirits and evil ghosts are also quite valuable."

Li Ye narrowed his eyes and tossed out a token.

The token quickly left his formation and gradually rose into the air. During its ascent, it slowly transformed into the shape of a sundial, activating the formation in the sky.

A voice came from within the magic array:
"Fellow Daoists."

"Today I have stirred up the vengeful spirits and ghostly energy of the seabed. I hope you fellow Daoists will lend a helping hand. All the treasures obtained in the process will belong to you!"

The sound echoed in the sky, and the patterns on the sundial shone brightly in the heavens.

—This represents the Four Seasons Sect.

Even the cultivators were puzzled as to what kind of treasure had triggered such a terrifying surge of ghostly energy.

However, the ghost energy crystals, Yin Spirit Powder, Soul Dust, and other treasures dropped by evil spirits cannot be faked.

Besides, robbing Four Seasons Sect cultivators' treasures on Four Seasons Sect's territory is practically suicide; it's better to just take some treasures.

This treasure is right in front of me, I shouldn't refuse it.

This is a very simple principle that everyone understands.

So the cultivators used their supernatural powers to capture or kill the surging vengeful spirits and evil ghosts.

Just like catching a school of fish that surges out of a reservoir when it's saturated, you can easily catch a whole bunch by standing still and using your supernatural powers.

The Golden Core cultivators of the Four Seasons Sect who had arrived in the sky exchanged glances, but did not interfere much, and went down to catch fish... and ghosts.

……

Time passes slowly.

Seven days later.

As the sun rose, Li Ye noticed some obvious cracks on the surface of the coconut, as if the life inside the egg was about to hatch.

A faint cracking sound could be heard.

Golden light burst forth from the cracks in the coconut.

Accompanied by the somewhat unpleasant cawing of crows, a golden jay, entirely black except for a few golden edges on its feathers, "squeezed" out of the coconut amidst the golden light.

It appears very dark, but it is surrounded by a halo, or rather, a radiant glow, which absorbs the sunlight falling from the sky and slowly and steadily emits a pale golden light.

Unfortunately, the eyes of this seemingly sacred bird were dull and lifeless.

The eyes, which should have been as bright as jewels, were now like a stagnant pool, shrouded in a haze.

Its lifeless eyes diminished its overall appearance. Li Ye reached out to it, saying, "Come here."

It silently flapped its wings and landed on Li Ye's arm, retracting its claws and feathers, and stood there quietly, like a statue.

If it were any other beast tamer in this situation, they would be almost helpless, as it could neither provide spiritual communication nor be influenced by magic due to its lack of self-awareness.

Fortunately, this thing was born from Li Ye's life essence, and Li Ye could vaguely sense some of its abilities.

E.g……

"Turn light into sand!"

At his command, the flames around the Golden Sand Crow shone even brighter, their dazzling light transforming the sunlight falling from the sky into grains of golden sand that landed on the ground.

These grains of sand are filled with the scorching heat of the sun and the vitality of life.

From a farmer's perspective, if there were more sand grains to create a spiritual field, it would be far more powerful than the Sunlight Spiritual Land in his cave.

Furthermore, it can draw upon sunlight to launch attacks.

Its feathers can store sunlight, emitting a radiance in the darkness that is no different from sunlight, illuminating all directions.

However, Li Ye could sense that it seemed to have another ability: when it sensed the Golden Sand Crow through its divine sense, it was always paying attention to a certain direction.

That is the East, deep within the inland sea of ​​the Eastern Yang Sea.

It's an instinctive pull from the bloodline, but unfortunately its power is too weak now, and the sensation is intermittent.

Finding it in the complex environment of the open sea is still impossible.

So Li Ye could only sigh regretfully.

It can only be said that the opportunity has not yet arrived. He did instinctively feel that he should not search for it now; the instincts of a cultivator are still quite useful.

"It seems I need to go back and ask my master."

"How can I properly nurture you?"

Li Ye reached out and stroked the smooth feathers of the Golden Sand Crow. The crow remained motionless, only responding to his touch with the warm light.

He pondered what to do next:

Now that the Spirit Bamboo and the Delicious Coconut Tree have merged together, will they still be able to grow a body that can house a soul, just as recorded in the Bamboo Spirit Scroll?

Or perhaps—this golden crow is actually the body.

If only Golden Crows can be grown, then that would be quite troublesome.

What Wei Qingye wants is a human body, which he needs to study further when he gets back.

Now that winter has completely passed, he was unable to return to the sect in time due to various matters, and he had to personally hand over the task of Moon Liquid Pearl.

And then there's the wheat harvested at the beginning of spring.

Spring plowing is very important, and he can't let his farming business be delayed.

Furthermore, we should ask the immortals of Dongji Market and our master to see if they can solve the problem of the Golden Sand Crow's lack of intelligence.

"Thinking about it this way, there really is a lot of work to be done."

"Alright, let's take these things back with us first."

Li Ye didn't think these things would be troublesome.

He still harbored a desire to investigate, wanting to know what secrets lay behind it all.

So he packed all the spiritual plants and beasts he had bought into his storage ring.

During this process, he also unexpectedly discovered that the golden sand scattered by the golden crows covered the roots, allowing the delicious coconut trees to be carried away from this land without degenerating into ordinary coconut trees.

This was an unexpected surprise for him.

I simply packed everything up and took it all with me.

Only after everything was settled did he get up and leave quietly with the Golden Crow.

……

quickly,

Li Ye returned to Sishifang Market.

As expected, the Nascent Soul cultivator on this side summoned him immediately.

After all, he caused so much trouble in that somewhat sensitive place, Golden Sand Island. It would be a joke if a Nascent Soul cultivator didn't know.

The real man looked at the Golden Sand Crow standing blankly on his shoulder and clicked his tongue in amazement, saying, "Your luck is just too amazing."

"This creature is said to be a descendant of the three-legged golden crow, which went extinct a long time ago and is the totem bird of the Jinsha tribe."

"You said you hatched from a coconut?"

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator with extensive knowledge felt a sense of disbelief at this matter, as coconuts could actually hatch offspring of such celestial beasts.

"correct."

Li Ye decided to play dumb for now.

Anyway, he was lucky and had a Nascent Soul master. Besides, everything he did was beneficial to the sect, so even if there were unreasonable aspects, no one would investigate.

The man gave him a deep look, then flicked his sleeve:
"Hurry up and go."

"I don't know what secrets this thing holds. The Eastern Yang Sea has too many secrets; I'm afraid only the Nascent Soul stage masters know them."

"Look how much benefit you've gained here in the Eastern Yanghai, and you've even left my disciple with a difficult problem."

Remember the benefits you received here. If you don't come back to help often in the future, don't blame your uncle for coming to your door to demand an explanation!

Li Ye quickly smiled apologetically: "Uncle-Master, your words make me sound like an ungrateful wretch. When I can freely enter and leave the sect in the future, I will definitely come here more often."

"When the time comes, if my uncle needs anything, he should just ask his nephew."

As he spoke, his expression turned serious, and he bowed deeply to the man:
"Thank you, uncle!"

He knew very well that some of the things he was doing here would have been difficult to do without the tacit approval of this Nascent Soul senior uncle.

"let's go."

The real man waved his sleeves again, but with a smile on his face.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators hope that the younger generations they have helped will feel grateful.

This isn't about taking advantage of someone's kindness; it's just about seeing if the younger generation has the same intention.

Treating everyone equally is true, but ultimately I still prefer disciples who are more insightful; at least they are more pleasing to the eye.

This is human nature.

……

Li Ye left Zhenren's residence.

After bidding farewell to Yang Ke, Junior Sister Ye, and the other Golden Core senior uncles, he finally arrived at Jiang Tingchao's residence after a long and winding journey.

Upon meeting Jiang Tingchao, he spoke directly:
"I might be able to get you out of here, but you'll have to sign a bloodline soul contract with me."

"For the rest of your life, you must obey me."

"Would you be willing?"

Jiang Tingchao didn't react at first, but when he did, his eyes were filled with immense joy.

He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "I do! I do!"

Rather than remain an ordinary person here forever, he would rather give up his freedom than see a wider world.

"Then leave your divine soul aura here."

Remember this: if you harbor thoughts of betrayal in the future, you will be trapped in time by the corona, never to be freed!

"Senior, don't worry!"

Jiang Tingchao didn't say much; no amount of words could prove anything better than future actions.

Seeing that he was so cooperative, Li Ye directly used the Four Seasons Sect's secret technique to condense a bloodline soul contract and had Jiang Tingchao leave his mark on it.

This means that no matter what level of cultivation Jiang Tingchao reaches in the future, he will only be able to obey Li Ye's orders.

With this contract in place, Li Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't that he was being overly cautious; after all, it involved his very foundation—his cheat code—so he had to be careful.

Now we have a contract to protect us.

He could finally test what would happen if he used his own panel to help the demon race bind with the other side.

He was curious.
