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

Chapter 188 Black River, Lotus in Bloom

Are they really that "brave"?
And what is that resentment?
Doubts arose in Li Ye's mind.

As the most important and unique water vein of the Four Seasons Sect, if any resentful spirits were to infiltrate Weichuan, there would be no need to hold anyone accountable; the True Immortals responsible for the Weichuan formation would probably be filled with shame.

"what."

"Wei Chuan's resentment?"

The third senior brother was also very surprised, his brows furrowed, completely baffled: "Why would Wei Chuan harbor resentment? The formations here were all personally set up by Nascent Soul cultivators and maintained by Core Formation cultivators at all times..."

Seeing his surprise, Li Ye calmed down.

The sunlight shone on his fair face, making it appear as smooth and warm as jade.

His voice was as gentle as ever, but his tone was very firm: "My beaver is fine, and the senior uncles who maintain the Weichuan Formation should also be fine."

Could it be that there's something wrong with Wei Chuan himself?
Such a vast river might give rise to some strange and wondrous things?

That's quite a bold statement.

But then the third senior brother thought again, perhaps things were just a coincidence—he knew better than Li Ye how much the sect's true men valued Wei Chuan, and that Wei Chuan's protection was even being personally handled by the sect leader.

"Then let's go take a closer look."

He reached out and patted Li Ye on the shoulder, then walked forward: "Come on, come on, don't let anyone run into your beavers. Those little guys are really adorable."

“Okay.” Li Ye walked naturally to his senior brother’s side. His third senior brother glanced at him, looking slightly disappointed.

Sigh, this guy's advancement speed is just too fast.

This meant that he didn't have time to pretend to be a senior brother or protect his junior brother.

If only he had gone to guard Huiya Market with his junior brother Lingji Teng back then.

Li Ye could vaguely guess what he was thinking.

However, since he was already a Golden Core cultivator and this matter involved his beaver, he could no longer hide behind his senior brothers and masters; it was time for him to face these matters and deal with them directly.

The first to arrive were, of course, the group of True Immortals led by True Immortal Lu. True Immortal Lu was particularly worried that something might have gone wrong with his formation, causing the Qi Yun Yao Jin to change.

If that's the case, it's better to have it happen here than to have it spread further in the future.

"This resentment seems to carry a strange, watery vapor."

"Yes, it's not just simple resentment, but rather like rivers formed by resentment."

"Junior Nephew Li, you know these kids best, what's your opinion?"

The real people, on the other hand, remained quite calm.

Their profound knowledge and experience, along with their daily lives of tending the land and cultivating spiritual flowers and herbs, enable them to handle many things with patience.

Being anxious won't solve the problem.

When Li Ye arrived, he had already scanned the dam with his divine sense several times. He could feel the beavers' hearts pounding, mixed with a hint of excitement and impatience.

A thought struck him, and he replied:
"In my opinion, this should be a good thing."

"This resentment might be a brand new branch of the Weichuan River."

"Uncle-Master, if there is a stable river of resentment, would it be considered a meritorious deed if we were to purify it?"

The assembled masters exchanged glances.

Their divine senses didn't detect much, but they trusted Li Ye.

“Then go ahead and do it,” Su Yu said. “The mess your beaver made is naturally yours to solve, and all the credit will belong to you.”

"As for us old folks..."

She looked at Master Lu with a mocking gaze: "The younger generation is working hard, so why don't we just watch the show?"

"..." Master Lu couldn't help but purse his lips, then waved his hand and threw out a pair of array flags that were shimmering with spiritual light. The flags gathered in mid-air into a mountain peak about an acre in size.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Senior Brother Lu's Mustard Seed Formation Mountain."

"Hurry, let's go up and take a look!"

Then the immortals all flew up and entered the pavilions on the mountain peak, each finding a place to sit, leaving the area below to Li Ye to do as he pleased.

Wow, that's a really fast swing of the arm.

Just as Li Ye was about to get up and enter Weichuan, the surrounding disciples, accompanied by beavers, gathered around him.

"Senior brother, do you need our help?"

"My beaver is quite good too, senior brother, just let me know if you need any!"

"Yes, we'll do our part if needed!"

Seeing this, the third senior brother, who had originally planned to stay here, also flew silently to the Mustard Seed Array Mountain. He originally intended to hide in a corner, but Su Yu naturally called him to serve tea and water.

He reluctantly and obediently went to serve tea and water.

There was no way around it; even though he was Li Ye's senior brother, he had actually been cultivating for less than a hundred years, so he was indeed a "junior brother."

Li Ye was quite moved at this moment, and he said in a deep voice, "Junior brothers, if you trust me, then have your respective beavers connect these dikes completely."

Since we're going to do this, let's do something big!

Once this is successfully completed, I will recommend outstanding individuals to my fellow disciples!

Upon hearing this, his junior brothers and sisters immediately agreed and quickly returned to the formation, where they had their respective beavers build dams.

Li Ye personally went to the dike of his beavers to oversee the situation. Through his connection with the beavers, he shared his power with them and forcibly suppressed the resentment that was surging at the bottom of the dike.

At this point, he was certain that the resentment originated from Wei Chuan!
There was just one thing he still couldn't understand.

Why won't Wei Chuan say it outright? Wei Chuan's deity has been watching this place all along; through the Jianmu tree, he can even feel the gentle breeze of Wei Chuan's tacit approval and approval.

He was puzzled, but he continued with his task.

—Those dams, or rather, the aura formation of this water turtle, all contain the "connection ability" that all the spiritual plants and beasts in the cave possessed when Li Ye played the Love Song.

This ability can link individual entities into a whole. All he has to do is use his beaver dam to trigger all the dams and completely ignite the resentment.

Let's see what's going on.

Time passed slowly.

Seven days later.

In this insignificant tributary of a small river that stretches for over 500 miles, dams stand in the water, and on them stand proud beavers with their heads held high.

"Chi chi chi chi!"

They waved to each other, and whether they were current residents of Weichuan or beavers from the caves of Foundation Establishment or True Person cultivators, they all had only one goal at this moment.

That is the mother river that helps them!
The turbulent flow of this tributary has been completely regulated.

That's the time.

Li Ye said to the beaver sitting next to him, "It's ready."

"Chi chi chi chi!"

The five beavers that had followed him the first patted their chests, and lotus platforms appeared beneath their rumps, carrying them as they flew upstream and downstream of the river.

Everywhere we went, every time we passed a dam, it was as if something had been lit up, and a hazy mist of water vapor began to rise from beneath the dam.

The aura emanating from them solidified into a tangible form.

The chirping sounds blended harmoniously with the sounds of the Weichuan River and the wind.

When all the dikes began to hiss and emit a hazy mist of water vapor, Li Ye could sense that something was rapidly gushing out.

This moment.

The place that was originally just hissing and emitting grayish-black smoke suddenly gushed out a viscous black liquid.

With a deep, night-like color, it floated about ten feet above the dam.

Like another river, it flowed slowly forward. Surprisingly, these black liquids showed no signs of filth whatsoever; in fact, they were unexpectedly "clean."

Besides its viscous black color, it also faintly emits a wonderful, refreshing fragrance.

But that's where the strange thing is.

Whether it was Li Ye or the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators in the distance, they could all sense that this was clearly a form of resentment, but why was it so fragrant and pure?

It is like earth fat or stone fat.

Powder...

Li Ye stretched out her finger and gently touched it, rubbing it between her fingertips.

It's somewhat viscous.

Isn't this just oil?

A river of oil?
Has oil already been deposited beneath Weichuan?
Why does it manifest as resentment?

"Hey, isn't this petrolatum? I remember reading about it in Mr. Mengxi's classic texts."

"Yes, Mr. Mengxi's books say that this is a very special spiritual material."

"Strange, there's actually petrolatum beneath the Wei River?"

The disciples in the distance were talking amongst themselves.

Li Ye then remembered that there was also a founder in the sect called "Master Mengxi" who left behind many interesting anecdotes, including some about oil.

He used the three characters "石脂油" (shizhiyou).

Oil that is born from stone.

It is said that this thing is often used to forge some special magical artifacts, and it is not a rare item in the sect.

However, this still doesn't explain why such a thing would appear here.

Just as Li Ye was feeling puzzled, a bold beaver sat on a lotus throne and slowly approached the "river" flowing in mid-air.

Its lotus base touched the river water.

The moment it touched the flames, they suddenly burst into flames.

"call!"

The flames instantly soared three zhang high.

"grumble!"

The sudden burst of fire startled the beaver, which immediately flew behind Li Ye on its lotus throne, peeking out curiously.

After the flames started burning, they exhibited a very peculiar state. They burned extremely steadily and had no pungent or foul smell. Instead, they emitted a unique and increasingly rich fragrance.

Just then, the water turtles inside the water turtle formation in the distance showed signs of agitation. They dragged the gourd vines of the formation and hurriedly rushed towards this side.

Fortunately, when the formation was designed, it was considered that if the Turtle Spirit Gourds were uncomfortable, the connection between the formation and them would break. Thanks to this, they came running over with their short legs.

After the gourd vines at the tail end deep into the dark, oily river, the oily river can be seen to have narrowed slightly, and then they eagerly circle around the plum leaves.

That means they want to go back.

Go back? Take the petroleum tartar oil back with you?
Li Ye suddenly wondered if they were trying to give it to the lamp grease flower.

"Senior brother! Please keep an eye on things here for me, I need to go back to my cave!"

He shouted a few times into the distance.

The third senior brother immediately appeared and nodded to him reliably: "Go ahead."

Only then could Li Ye hurriedly take the tortoise spirit gourds, which had absorbed a lot of stone oil, back to his cave.

At that moment, the beaver insisted on going back with him.

He glanced at the beaver and decided to take it back with him.

Unexpectedly, after returning, Guilinghu and the beaver did not go to the lamp grease flower, but went straight to the place where Li Ye planted the magic ginseng.

The Earth Demon Ginseng was still half-buried in the earth, but its head was topped with a spotless Lotus of Harmony, the petals of which had a translucent quality that was untouched by the mundane world.

Then... he got sprayed all over his face with the stone oil from the Turtle Spirit Gourd.

The beaver rushed over and rubbed out a bit of light from its paws, then threw it directly at the Lotus of Harmony.

When Guanghua came into contact with the petrolatum, it immediately began to burn.

The Earth Demon Ginseng seemed to only then realize what was happening, and shouted loudly:
"What are you doing!"

"What is this... petrolatum oil?"

Ah! My lotus!

This thing actually pulled its roots out of the ground. The thick roots were like human legs. It flapped its legs and ran around everywhere, even trying to plunge into the river.

But Li Ye stopped it.

Because Li Ye saw that the flames did not harm the Lotus Flower itself, but instead converged towards the lamp inside the lotus bud.

The pale golden lamp had become somewhat translucent, and the patterns of the Lotus Elixir Method that he had engraved on it were becoming increasingly bright.

The flame at the center of the lamp burned even brighter, radiating rings of light.

The light was magnificent, carrying a sense of compassion and gentleness.

"Chiji..."

The beaver saw lotus patterns in its eyes and flew over unconsciously, as if sleepwalking, and stretched out its paw to grab the lamp that was deeply inserted into the lotus.

Then pull hard!
Without making a sound, it held the translucent lamp in its hand.

It holds the lamp aloft.

Rings of light emanated from it.

What could have been described as the light of Buddha suddenly acquired a transcendent and sacred quality. The light, though gentle, carried an unstoppable power.

It's no longer the Buddha's light!
"The Lotus Lantern?"

This thing looks so familiar.

"The Beaver's Lotus Lantern..."

Li Ye was completely stunned. Why could this lamp, combined with Wei Chuan's petrolatum oil, produce such terrifying power?

Looking at the beaver, he suddenly remembered what the beaver named "Little White" had told him back in the Eastern Sea of ​​Yang—that what Li Ye's beaver had learned was actually the divine power of the Heavenly Venerable of Salvation from Suffering.

Although Li Ye cared about it at the time, he got busy with other things later, and since the beavers didn't have much to do, he forgot about it.

Now that I think about it, could the Savior from Suffering be the same person as the Great Savior from Suffering?

What does that have to do with Taiyi Zhenren...?

In his daze, the beaver flew to him and presented him with the lamp as if offering a treasure.

But once the lamp was in Li Ye's hands, it lost all its color and returned to its original shape as a lamp, its holy and otherworldly light completely extinguished.

It's like... not knowing him at all.

Fortunately, the control panel is still performing as well as ever:
【Name】：Lotus Lantern
[Mood]: Ignore
[Status]: Only when activated by the power of "Compassion" will it burn the resentment of the petroleum oil collected by Wei Chuan, emitting an extremely special lamp light.

[Can be bound]: Weighs 30 jin, is 1 foot 2 inches tall, comes from Weichuan, belongs to Li Ye, and is a beaver who has learned the "Heart-to-Heart Lotus Rescue Method".

"..."

What is this binding requirement?

So it doesn't have a name, otherwise you would definitely have it linked to your account, right?
And then, you turned into a magic weapon?

Li Ye really didn't know what to say. This wasn't a designated arrangement; it was practically a pre-arranged decision!
