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

Chapter 187 Banana Leaves, Three-bead Tree

"Hahaha!"

Having finally regained his confidence, Senior Brother Chen patted Li Ye on the shoulder generously: "Don't be sad, I'll introduce you to someone later."

"Don't always bury yourself in your cave to cultivate. There are many interesting things to do on the Spirit Clan's side. I've seen quite a few interesting things during my years there. Let me tell you about them."

"Look, these are the gifts from my friends and confidants."

It seems they know that this Senior Brother Chen has a wide circle of friends, at least much wider than Li Ye's.

He then produced the shell shed by the Xuan turtle, the feathers of the Wen ray, and the tail feathers of the Bifang...

Li Ye was utterly dumbfounded.

The third senior brother was truly earnest and patient in his advice.

They all like to run around, even Junior Brother Lingji Teng can't stay still and wants to transform into a human to go out.

Surprisingly, a junior disciple who spends all his time cultivating immortality in his cave has appeared?
Is this a case of things reaching their extremes and then reversing?

"Actually, Junior Brother doesn't stay in the cave every day. He even went to the Southern Region to form his Core form some time ago," Li Ye retorted somewhat unconvinced.

To avoid him producing something that would shock him again.

Li Ye quickly interrupted him: "Junior brother is already very clear about how powerful Senior Brother is. Let's talk about the formation here instead."

The other senior uncles all turned their criticisms on Uncle Lu, while they only praised me. Senior brother, can you see anything amiss?

This time, it involved formations that he didn't understand very well, so he was a little worried that he might not do a good job.

The third senior brother looked confused: "What are you talking about? You don't actually think that the senior uncles are the kind of people who will praise you without asking any questions, do you?"

They only praise you like that because you did a good job.

If you don't do well, they will reprimand you severely. You are now a Golden Core cultivator, not a Qi Refining/Foundation Establishment child who needs protection!

So I did a really good job?

Li Ye looked a little confused.

Seeing this, Senior Brother Chen's confidence, which had just been showing off, was somewhat suppressed again. He sighed deeply: "The Qi Luck Formation is the most troublesome formation in the sect."

"You've only just entered the realm of formations, yet you've helped set up such a complex formation, and you've done a very good job. If you continue to belittle yourself, that's not humility but arrogance!"

He gritted his teeth as he spoke: "Seeing you like this now makes me want to have a good spar with you! How about we have a spar?"

"Then there's no need," Li Ye quickly shook his head. "However, I've heard Master say that you, Senior Brother, are quite skilled in combat spirit plants. Why don't you teach me sometime?"

The so-called "battle spirit plants" is a collective term for a series of elemental spirit plants that can grow rapidly and are used in battles. Even the Demon Suppression Tree can be considered a battle spirit plant.

"Battle Spirit Plants, huh?" The third senior brother finally became serious, gazing at the distant river and thinking carefully. "Actually, whether you're used to using Battle Spirit Plants depends on your preference."

We cultivators ultimately need to possess our own great power; magical artifacts are merely a means to an end.

How about this, you attack me with all your might once.

Let me see how powerful your spiritual energy is.

"...Do we really have to use all our strength?" Li Ye hesitated.

"What are you afraid of?"

"I won't laugh at you for not having enough magical power."

"We have Lady Weichuan here in Weichuan, who can mitigate some of the aftermath, so nothing bad will happen."

The third senior brother stood there casually and said in a relaxed tone, "Come on."

"That's offensive."

Since his third senior brother said he would go all out, Li Ye didn't hold back. He mobilized all his spiritual power and even put on the rice robe.

Centered on him, a terrifying spiritual power gathered, and even halos of spiritual power appeared.

The halo of light overshadowed the sun in the sky and the surging waters of the Wei River in the distance!

In particular, his natal magic weapon was spinning wildly, and the sun, moon, yin and yang light on it were rapidly changing, turning into a hazy gray spiritual energy.

The third senior brother immediately sensed something was wrong.

This, this is not right.

Isn't it said that if you advance faster, your magic power will be slightly weaker?
My master has misled me!

As the spiritual energy around Li Ye gathered, the third senior brother suddenly felt that he had been tricked by the old man.

When he came before, the old man said that Li Ye's advancement was too fast and his magic power might be unstable, so he specially sent him to test him.

Is this considered unstable magical power?
If this isn't stable, then what is he?
At this moment, he really wanted to back out.

But the harsh words had already been spoken, especially to his own junior brother, so it would be too embarrassing to call a halt now.

So he became serious.

With a wave of the hand—

One after another, spiritual plants grew rapidly around him: lotus flowers, vines, trees, grass... in short, there were so many that they were practically dense.

He controlled all the different spiritual energies, which vaguely formed a formation.

The traces of this spiritual energy circulation are clearly from the Five Elements Spirit Ascension Technique.

Li Ye was finally ready. Holding a branch of the Jianmu tree in his hand, he gently pointed at his senior brother.

"Senior brother."

"Be careful!"

The next moment, the tips of the branches of the Jianmu tree burst forth with dazzling five-colored light, without any magic or fancy supernatural power.

It should be understood that the Jianmu tree itself possesses the power of space, and generally speaking, the greatest fear when trying to break it with brute force is spatial magic.

But Li Ye, who has the Jianmu tree, is not afraid of this situation.

As long as power is applied, it will definitely hit—at least that's true for Golden Core cultivators.

"Shh!"

The five-colored light instantly destroyed the fighting spirit plants that the third senior brother had just set up, and collided with the third senior brother's spiritual power.

"Boom!"

A terrifying surge of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from the banks of the Weichuan River, causing the river to stagnate. However, this spiritual energy did not harm any of the spirit beasts in the Weichuan River.

The deities of Weichuan quelled the aftermath of the battle.

However, the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating into the distance could not be eliminated, and for a moment, cultivators no matter how far away they were all looked up at this place.

"A battle of wits in Weichuan?"

"Whose child is this, so disobedient?"

"...Is it Li Ye, the sixth disciple of Senior Brother Su Xing?"

The real people who witnessed this scene looked at each other in bewilderment.

I never expected it to be Li Ye.

Li Ye truly performed exceptionally well, demonstrating great respect for his teacher; he was their favorite disciple from another family.

So after a brief silence, they all spoke up again:

"It must be Junior Nephew Chen being naughty again."

"That's right. Li Ye is so well-behaved, sensible, and incredibly talented. How could he be fighting like a child in Weichuan? His senior brother must have done something." "But I think it's good that he's cheerful sometimes."

The third senior brother, who was already barely resisting Li Ye's magic power, almost spat out a mouthful of blood. "Didn't you guys usually like me quite a bit?"
Why are you suddenly praising my junior brother again?
He felt extremely grief and indignation, took out his natal magic weapon and gently fanned it, instantly creating a gust of wind.

"Wow!"

The wind generated by the banana leaf contains the yin and yang energies. Everything in the world is within the yin and yang and the five elements. Even the five-colored radiance of the plum leaf cannot stop the raging wind of the banana leaf.

In an instant, the five-colored radiance he unleashed was scattered by the gale.

"what."

Li Ye did not continue to use his supernatural powers, but stared intently at the magic weapon in his senior brother's hand.

【Name】：Yin Yang Banana Leaf

[Mood]: Speechless.

[Status]: Not fully unsealed; its power can only be truly unleashed when its owner reaches the Nascent Soul stage.

"Senior brother, this treasure looks quite impressive!"

This thing reminded him of the legendary "banana leaf fan".

Perhaps it was because his gaze was too intense, but the third senior brother gripped his fan with a wary expression: "I finally managed to retrieve this from the Upside-Down Heaven."

If you want it, you can pick it up yourself later.

"No, no," Li Ye quickly shook his head. "I've just never seen such a magical artifact before, so I find it a bit novel."

"Oh, that's how it is."

"Then let me show you."

The third senior brother finally breathed a sigh of relief, generously tossing the fan to Li Ye, and then boasted:
"Although I am not as powerful as you in terms of magic, the Five Elements Spirit Ascension Technique and the Nine Songs Cloud Lord chapter that I cultivate allow me to control more than one natal magic weapon."

Besides this banana leaf fan, I also have two powerful treasures: the purple-gold gourd and the jade cup with weeping willow branches.

Although this is an external thing, it is already the path I have chosen, and I will surely be able to forge a path for myself in the future!

It was at this moment that the third senior brother finally shed his frivolous and roguish aura, becoming dazzlingly radiant.

Li Ye shifted her gaze from examining the banana leaf and finally understood why this guy had so many female confidantes. He could be serious or mischievous, which did give him some advantages.

"Then I wish you a smooth journey on your path to enlightenment, Senior Brother!"

He returned the banana leaf, bowing it sincerely.

"Hehe, thank you for your kind words, junior brother."

"With your words, things will definitely go much more smoothly for me."

"Let's go, I'll tell you something on the way back."

Afterwards, the two separately calmed the aftershocks of their earlier battle, restoring the land along the riverbank to normal before heading back.

On the way, his third senior brother told him that he had just asked him to use his magic power to see what attribute the spiritual power in his body was more inclined towards, so that he could choose a suitable spiritual plant as a "suppressing object".

The so-called "suppressing object" is a spiritual plant that has reached the limit of a certain spiritual power attribute and possesses spirituality.

For example, the third senior brother's spiritual root is the Five Elements and the wind attribute, so he went through many hardships to obtain the Yin-Yang Banana Leaf, which belongs to the wind attribute, in the Upside-Down Heaven.

With the banana leaf suppressing and leading, he can freely cultivate wind-attribute fighting spirit plants. During battles, the banana leaf will be in charge of commanding, so as not to distract him.

Later on, through the absolute command ability of the banana leaf, all the wind-attribute fighting spirit plants can be refined into a part of one's own supernatural power, which can be considered as integrating external objects into oneself.

Li Ye listened with great interest.

So that's how it is. He thought that fighting spirit plants were simply used as talismans that could be reused repeatedly.

Unexpectedly, there was an advancement method inside.

It's still a method with extremely high potential.

"Now that you've seen my spiritual power, may I ask which spiritual plant would be suitable for me?"

Is Jianmu a feasible option?

The third senior brother shook his head seriously: "Jianmu is absolutely out of the question!"

"The power of Jianmu is certainly extremely strong and very inclusive, but its power is more inclined to nurture and protect. If you use it for fighting, it will definitely affect the nurturing of its internal microcosm."

"Based on my understanding of the spiritual plants on the Upside-Down Heaven..."

"In the Upside-Down Heaven, there is the Red Water Kunlun Ruins created by the gods and ancestors. There is a famous divine tree there called the Three Pearl Tree."

"That would suit you perfectly."

The name was indeed a bit unfamiliar. After thinking for a while, Li Ye remembered that this was the divine tree from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Chishui River is almost a sacred river, and the Kunlun Ruins surrounding it are the residence of the Queen Mother of the West, who possesses many divine trees.

Although the Three Pearl Tree may not sound very famous, it can even be ranked alongside the Divine Peach Tree and the Jade Tree of Penglai as an immortal tree.

"But is this kind of divine tree really suitable for battle?"

Honestly, this seems like the kind of place suitable for farming and seeking enlightenment.

"The Three-Pearl Tree is special. Its leaves transform into pearls, which is in line with the cultivation path of plants and trees having spiritual power. Your power is already able to control many spiritual plants. All you need is for them to be able to transform."

"Putting everything else aside, I can feel the undisguised affection of many spiritual plants from you. Even without a powerful spiritual plant leader, they would be willing to fight to the death for you as long as you speak."

The third senior brother became more and more envious as he spoke. He had been somewhat confident before, but now it seemed that his only advantage was that he had started cultivating immortality earlier.

If I don't work harder, my master might really make me call Li Ye "Third Senior Brother"!
The thought of it made him feel cold inside.

Li Ye was lost in thought and naturally didn't notice his third senior brother's inner turmoil. After his third senior brother said that, he really thought the Three Pearl Tree was quite good.

As for whether or not I can get it?
Just keep trying. Since my third senior brother clearly said it's possible, all I need to do is try my best.

So he quickly calmed down and clasped his hands in greeting to his senior brother:
"Thanks for the advice, senior brother!"

Sometimes, a single sentence can dispel the fog of the future.

"It's alright." The third senior brother waved his hand, looked into the distance, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

Li Ye followed his gaze.

To their astonishment, they saw in the distance that their beavers had already worked together to complete the dam and were heading towards the most turbulent part of the Wei River in boats made of bamboo and wood ants.

The journey was not smooth. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators could not stand steadily in the swift current of the Wei River. They barely managed to control the surrounding water flow so that the bamboo and wooden ant boat could move forward.

And when they finally reached the very center of that turbulent river.

"Hoohoo!"

The bamboo and wooden ant boat immediately disintegrated.

The bamboo ants quickly huddled together and rolled away with the river, while the beavers worked together to control the embankment as it sank.

This process is even more difficult; how can you build a dam with such a turbulent current?

But beavers are just that strong.

They struggled and worked hard, managing to wed the embankment perfectly in the middle of the river channel.

At this moment.

A thick, dark mist suddenly rose from the river.

It was resentment!
