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

Chapter 162 Beneath the Bluebird, the Epiphyllum Blooms

Golden elixir.

This level of understanding is actually not far from Li Ye's reach.

He has now reached the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment stage, and only needs to break through to the next level.

It was practically a done deal. If he hadn't suppressed his magic power and stabilized his foundation, he probably would have already figured out a way to break through.

The sect's inheritance also contains many introductions and explanations about the Golden Core stage, especially since he, as an inner disciple and a direct disciple of a Nascent Soul cultivator, has received even more such classic texts.

But the transmission of those Golden Elixir techniques all comes from the insights of our predecessors.

His path was very different.

For Li Ye, it wasn't exactly unhelpful, but it was better than nothing.

However, this enlightenment on the Golden Core stirred up a tidal wave in Li Ye's heart.

He "saw" a monk sitting on a jade lotus platform in the center of the cave.

A golden pill floated silently in the cultivator's palm.

The earth's veins transformed into petals, lifting it upwards, while purple light from the sky showered down, enveloping the golden elixir in various forms, like celestial maidens scattering flowers.

The feeling of being supported by the whole world was wonderful to him.

It's not just spiritual power, but also the world's "emotions," that wholehearted care for that one golden pill.

At once……

This is a path completely different from the usual immortal path, emphasizing emotions and the ability to maintain one's true self even with transcendent power.

He felt it looked familiar.

"Is this related to the Dawn Bell and the Soothing Flute that I've been learning? I feel like it's also related to these two spells?"

Since he had come across such an interesting method, he naturally wanted to find out more about it.

Master Su Huan had no intention of keeping anything secret. When he sensed Li Ye's spiritual power, he knew exactly what his senior brother, Su Xing, was planning to do.

If it were merely to save him from this place, he probably wouldn't have gone to such lengths. But Li Ye and his grandson happen to have an extremely good relationship.

Like most elders who care about their descendants, he is happier when his grandson is treated well than when he is treated well.

As the earth's spiritual willow swayed, it emitted a gentle sound:
"There is indeed a connection."

"This involves a secret technique passed down by the sect, which was passed down by a former patriarch."

"The world she was born into was filled with spiritual energy that is filthy and chaotic to us."

Step by step, she used the three celestial music techniques of the sun, moon, and stars to gradually cleanse the world of its filth.

Success elevates the world.

"But originally, with her talent, let alone the Golden Core stage, even the Nascent Soul stage would have been easy for her. She could even leave that world through the World Array after reaching the Nascent Soul stage."

"But she managed to maintain her Foundation Establishment stage cultivation level. Apart from being able to control the magic power of the three types of celestial music, she used all her other magic power to cleanse the black tide."

"He even went through nine reincarnations in order to preserve his power."

When she was about to die completely in her ninth life, the world suddenly gave her a long-prepared gift—her spiritual power had already permeated that small world, and the world used all of its resources to help her condense her golden core.

All the spiritual energy in the world was protecting her golden elixir, which could be described as both a gift from heaven and a product of human hands.

This is the origin of this tradition.

Hearing this, Li Ye felt some doubt: "According to what you said, the spiritual energy of that world is different from ours... Could it be that the ancestor directly transformed the three lights of the sun, moon and stars into spiritual energy?"

Su Huan was pleased that Li Ye had keenly perceived the truth behind the story, and slowly revealed a secret: "The three lights of the sun, moon, and stars were all projected by another ancestor."

In fact, this was an attempt to test one's luck.

Even with the slightest chance or possibility, those favored by fate can turn adversity into opportunity and ignite the entire world.

This story may contain inaccuracies and omissions, but one thing is certain.

This kind of supernatural power can only be learned by those with exceptionally good fortune—like you and me.

The last sentence also carries a distinct sense of pride, like a swan raising its neck.

Su Ya, who had been quietly listening from the side, suddenly couldn't think straight when she remembered the funny stories her father told her about arguing with her grandfather.

Unable to resist asking, "Grandpa, why are you planted here now?"

"..."

The swaying earth vein spirit willow paused for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, Su Huanzhen's somewhat sinister voice came: "The elixir in your body was obtained by me after going to great lengths, even violating the sect's rules."

Now you should also help me with some of the miscellaneous tasks.

"Since your junior brother is so intelligent and has solved the problem of spiritual plants, then you should go and start refining pills. Make sure you refine at least 100,000 pills before you leave!"

Li Ye couldn't help but purse his lips.

What kind of punishment is this? Even the most basic pills require a huge amount of materials.

This is an excellent opportunity for an alchemist eager to hone their skills.

Su Ya's face was filled with extreme joy.

Before Su Ya could express his joy, Master Su Huan said to Li Ye, "I sensed that Junior Sister Zhou had unlocked some of the permissions for this place. There should still be seeds of the Earth Vein Spirit Willow inside Huiya Cave Heaven."

If you want to create your own grotto in the future, you need to start with the most basic spiritual veins and land. Try to find them.

If you are lucky, it will eventually come to you.

Besides that treasure, there is another very interesting item here, which can be considered another attempt by the sect to explore the divine path.

You should see if you can find it.

Don't worry, if it causes any major trouble, that would be a good thing for you.

The sect leader says he doesn't like meddling, but actually he really enjoys cleaning up other people's messes.

Li Ye hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly, "But once I leave, the Tongqing Melody will be cut off, and you and Senior Brother Su will no longer be able to communicate face to face."

"It's alright." Master Su Huan's tone was carefree: "The power of the Love Song is truly too magical, and I'm also worried that I might become addicted to it."

After all, I'm still buried inside the Demon-Suppressing Tree right now.

Since the real person was so carefree, Li Ye naturally couldn't continue using the Love Song. He immediately put away the Love Song's blades, and the connected beam of light naturally disappeared as well.

Then he cupped his hands in greeting to the Earth Vein Spirit Willow and said, "Then I'll go and take a look at other places first."

"Go ahead." Master Su Huan had already begun using his authority to transport piles of materials that needed to be refined, and he even brazenly misappropriated one of the magic treasure alchemy furnaces here.

He knew very well that he had done something wrong, but he also knew that if he stayed quietly, his senior brothers would definitely not notice him.

Only minor, harmless "mistakes" like these can make people notice that he's still there.

……

Li Ye strolled slowly through the Huiya Cave.

This time he saw much more, not only various treasures, but also the "trials" and "traps" set up by the Four Seasons Sect. Some of them would kill him if he stepped on them.

Even a Golden Core cultivator would perish under such terrifying power.

He also saw rows of nameless tombstones, which were buried by the spontaneous operation of the formations that buried the cultivators who died in the cave.

These tombstones stretch for hundreds of miles.

It is evident how many cultivators who sought a glimpse of immortality perished here.

And it was at these tombstones that he unexpectedly discovered some... spiritual plants that were not enveloped by the rainbow beams of light from the cave—they were small, pure white flowers, devoid of any spiritual energy, growing in front of the tombstones and swaying in the wind.

【Name】：Ephemeral Flower Without Immortality

[Mood]: Sad
[Status]: A primordial spirit plant born from the lingering resentment of countless cultivators who failed to attain immortality; it possesses the ability to sever spiritual energy.

[Can be bound]: A "beast" born of divine power.

A beast born from divine power that can have its spiritual energy severed?

This was indeed strange to Li Ye. He stopped and tried to touch the little white flower with his fingers, but he felt a resistance.

Gray mist swirled around his fingers.

It is not this white flower, but rather something that comes from this land, or more precisely, from the monks buried here.

The immortal opportunities they longed for but could not obtain were abundant in Li Ye's possession, so they naturally resisted Li Ye taking away their only "color".

Li Ye thought for a moment, then shook the Sun and Moon Ring on his wrist. The Bagua Sky Disc hanging from it immediately began to rotate, and the Bagua halo formed a portal.

A short while later, a plump beaver emerged from inside.

As soon as it appeared, it knew what Li Ye wanted to do, and it readily took off the prayer beads around its neck, fiddling with them with its little paws in a very professional manner.

The sound coming from its mouth was a rhythmic "cheep cheep cheep..."

Lotus petals emerged from its tiny mouth, rushing eagerly to spill onto the earth.

This is not a ritual of deliverance.

Instead... it's just empty promises.

To put it simply, we told them that there would definitely be opportunities to climb the immortal peak again in the future, and that there were only some lingering resentments and obsessions here, while the true souls had already been reincarnated.

Having sent away so many reincarnated souls, the beaver was adept at making empty promises, and in no time, Li Ye successfully obtained a Wuxian Tan (a type of ephemeral flower).

Li Ye was well aware of the situation here and had guessed why the sect didn't deal with this place that was clearly going to breed resentment. So he wouldn't destroy it easily; all he wanted to do was take away a Wuxian Tan plant.

Now that he had obtained the Immortal Lotus, he strolled along slowly, analyzing its composition as he went.

The beaver didn't want to leave, so it sat on Li Ye's shoulder, its little paws gripping his hair, its eyes fixed on Wu Xian Tan.

The power within this epiphyllum is quite peculiar.

It wasn't spiritual energy, but rather... the divine power accumulated from wishes and incense offerings.

"Could this be the sect's attempt at the divine path that Uncle Su mentioned?"

"Well……"

He felt that Uncle Su was definitely not just talking casually, and that this item must be of great use.

Shinto, obsession, cemetery...

After thinking carefully, Li Ye suddenly thought of something and reached out to summon the Bluebird Red Bean.

As soon as Hongdou came out, she rubbed her beak against Li Ye's face to show affection.

"good."

"Let me give it a try."

After comforting Hongdou, he tried to see if he could bind them.

The result is yes.

[5000 Vitality Essence are required for binding.]

He had always felt that the power of the red bean was a bit strange, but he never expected that it was actually a "divine beast".

Its composition is obsession and longing. Its birth was an experiment conducted by the Hell Path. According to his understanding, the Hell Path seems to be very obsessed with creating the so-called "divine realm".

No wonder Li Ye always felt very familiar with the power of will and obsession. He spent every day with Hongdou, so of course he was very familiar with it.

However, Red Bean is different from other spirit beasts. Li Ye didn't know what would happen after this Immortal-less Ephemeral Flower bound to it, so he asked softly:
"Are you willing to do this?"

Qingniao Hongdou stared at Li Ye with her blood-red eyes and nodded.

Over such a long period of time, it had long since developed absolute trust in Li Ye, and a large part of this trust even came from... Li Ye's fondness for staying in his cave.

In its view, as long as it stays obediently in the cave, it will not encounter any danger, and it will surely be able to stay with its master for a long time.

For it, nothing else matters as long as it can stay with someone for a long time and alleviate the pain of longing.

As for "binding," it had followed Li Ye for so long and had seen Li Ye use this magical power to help various spiritual plants and beasts transform, even gourds and turtles could produce offspring.

Even it wants to change.

"Thank you." Li Ye reached out and stroked the bluebird and red bean, then put it and the immortal hibiscus into the Jianmu Cave.

Fortunately, the binding was just a matter of a thought for him. Five thousand points of vitality essence were consumed in a flash, and the bluebird and the epiphyllum inexplicably locked eyes.

Then, the bluebird opened its beak and swallowed the entire epiphyllum flower, impatiently letting out a high-pitched cry to signal Li Ye to release it.

Li Ye watched the ring of flames burning on its body and silently released it out of the Jianmu World. As soon as it came out, the creature flew away into the distance like an arrow.

Its wings continued to fall, casting fiery light downwards.

One by one, the epiphyllum flowers bloomed in the firelight.

These epiphyllum flowers rapidly compress the surrounding spiritual energy as they grow, but strangely, the iridescent beams of light seem to have gotten used to it, directly carrying the treasures inside upwards into the sky.

The epiphyllum took the opportunity to continue compressing the space, and it seemed that it was going to grow and spread throughout the entire cave.

The spiritual energy was in chaos for a time, but the obsession brought about by the growth of the epiphyllum continued unabated, even bringing out some things hidden deep in the earth.

That's some...

He was a fellow who wore tattered armor and held various magical artifacts. He exuded an aura of death yet also possessed a strange divinity.

Li Ye stood silently in place, surrounded by a spiritual energy shield formed from the branches of the Jianmu tree, and muttered to himself:
"...Won't we be making a bit too big of a mess?"

"My uncle said the bigger the commotion, the better. I hope he's not lying to me."

He sighed deeply, his gaze fixed on the bluebird Hongdou, which was spreading its wings and soaring into the sky. He could feel the power of Wuxiantan pressing down on the seal within the bluebird's body.

That was the seal that Uncle Shenxue set up on the Love-Longing Life-and-Death Bean, which also suppressed the "divinity" of the Love-Longing Life-and-Death Bean.

After all, it used to be...

However, the deities worshipped in a certain area of ​​the Hell Realm are...
