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

Chapter 190 Resolving the Application, Wanli Weichuanqing
"Nephew, what's going on?"

Li Ye spent some time explaining.

Then they shifted the blame for things that couldn't be said onto the god of Weichuan.

The people then realized what was happening.

It turns out it was Wei Chuan's pent-up resentment!

That beaver was incredibly lucky to receive the lotus magic treasure bestowed upon it by Wei Chuan.

This nephew's luck is truly extraordinary.

The pet I brought along was also very lucky, and that beaver was indeed well-behaved and cute.

Even they felt an indescribable envy. They exchanged glances and made up their minds—this kid was incredibly lucky, and they were determined to make things difficult for him!

Master Su Yu spoke first: "Since your beaver is here to help Wei Chuan purify the resentment..."

You should be alright now, right?

It's rare to see you outside. Let's go up the mountain and have a detailed discussion, to see how to use those novel gadgets of yours.

As he spoke, perhaps to prevent Li Ye from escaping, Master Su grabbed Li Ye's wrist, while his other wrist was grabbed by his third senior brother.

Master Su and his third senior brother exchanged a smile, then pulled the bewildered Li Ye up the mountain, followed by a long string of Golden Core cultivators.

It was practically like a kidnapping...

He was both amused and exasperated.
"Hey hey!"

"Don't be in a hurry, fellow martial uncles."

"I still have to make arrangements; the God of Weichuan has given me a task."

Upon hearing this, Master Su and his third senior brother released him.

"Go quickly and come back soon."

"There are so many disciples here, let them help you. Our useless disciples are on their way too, they'll all help you in a bit."

Li Ye nodded.

"it is good!"

He quickly took the remaining four beavers and used some petroleum oil collected by the turtle spirit gourds to exchange for four more lotus lamps.

Unfortunately, other beavers cannot obtain it.

Although the other beavers had heard the five beavers expound the "Lotus Sutra for Saving from Suffering" and had purified their hungry bones, they were unable to obtain it for some reason.

Perhaps these are the only five lotus lanterns left.

However, he didn't mind. After properly instructing the beavers to unite their partners to build a dam and draw out their resentment, he thanked the other disciples.

Only after everything had settled did he ascend Mustard Seed Array Mountain.

Then I saw... tables and chairs were set up on both sides of the road, and behind each set of tables and chairs sat a Golden Core cultivator. The road was very long, roughly several miles long.

The Golden Core cultivators all looked at him with smiles.

But Li Ye shuddered. How could there be so many Heavenly Lords? Hundreds of Golden Core cultivators?
He felt he needed to cultivate the Spirit Vine quickly so he could delegate all such tasks to it in the future. Otherwise, with the emergence of new species, he would be exhausted.

With a wry smile, he carried the beaver and walked to the first table, where he sat down in front of Master Su Yu.

"Here."

Su Yu handed him several jade slips directly.

"Look, this is the research topic I'm preparing to undertake."

Li Ye picked up the jade slip and read it carefully. It contained information about gourd oil and lotus pills, especially gourd oil.

The contents detailed the medicinal properties and spiritual energy composition of some pills, and pointed out the improvement that gourd oil could provide to these pills.

"..."

Looking at that long string of spiritual energy data, he felt a pang of pain for the first time at his lack of knowledge, because he had never refined pills before, but refining pills required a sufficient amount of data.

In a sense, it is similar to his drug research in his previous life. Although cultivators are all tough and resilient, they must be extremely cautious about things like pills, which are most likely to become popular.

Safety and stability are the top priorities.

Su Yu looked at Li Ye, who was flipping through the spiritual energy data with a bitter expression, and began to explain very seriously.

"Look at the data comparison between this gourd oil and the original pills..."

She explained things in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

Even though Li Ye had never been exposed to alchemy, he could still understand it.

And so, after Li Ye had been crammed with alchemy knowledge and finally settled things with his Uncle Su Yu, he went to the second True Person.

This is also a true master from the Pill Hall.

She was researching a very special elixir called the "Heavenly Fortune Elixir".

"This pill is mainly made using Qi-gold and the Qi-gold array that Senior Brother Lu just set up. The required materials are the scales of the Golden Red Dragon Carp and the Lotus Pill."

"look……"

This person was gentle and refined in appearance, but when explaining the principles to Li Ye, she was unusually serious and earnest.

It gave me a strange feeling of being in front of a private tutor.

Even Li Ye straightened up and listened attentively. This was a very rare opportunity. Those who came to him to conduct research on new species were all the best in their respective departments.

To be honest, it's even rarer to have them impart their knowledge so earnestly than for a Nascent Soul cultivator to preach, especially since these senior uncles clearly have high hopes for Li Ye and are sharing everything they know.

Li Ye didn't quite understand, so he recorded it on a jade slip and agreed to ask for clarification another day.

And so he moved forward one by one.

He studied every question posed by a real person diligently.

The sun and moon rotate.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, he learned a great deal about alchemy, weapon crafting, formation techniques, beast taming, and spiritual plants.

Once you understand the Dao, you understand everything. His comprehension was already quite good; you could say he grasped things instantly. From time to time, he would also come up with some ingenious ideas that amazed the true masters.

Sincere, eager to learn, and intelligent—who wouldn't like that?
This made the more than one hundred practitioners extremely envious, jealous, and resentful of his master.

As he slowly moved forward to solve the problem, the other masters did not leave. While their disciples worked in the quiet room next door, they gathered together to taste the tea that Li Ye had brought.

"Junior Nephew Li's comprehension is simply extraordinary."

"Yes, I even suspect that he might be the reincarnation of some patriarch."

"Sigh, our path wasn't even his primary focus, yet he's so perceptive... By the way, shouldn't we be conducting the Golden Core Spirit Plant Master assessment soon?"

—This last sentence was said by Su Yu.

The assembled immortals looked at each other in bewilderment.

Yes.

One year after Li Ye reaches the Golden Core stage, he will have to take the assessment for becoming a Golden Core level spiritual plant master, which is extremely rigorous.

Not only must he learn all the techniques of the Golden Core, but he is also required to independently build a market town. I wonder where Li Ye plans to build the market town?
Could they send their disciples to help?

Li Ye, being watched by the True Immortals, had no idea what they were thinking. He had already resolved the applications of over a hundred True Immortals, including those for pill refining, weapon crafting, formations, spiritual plants, and beast taming...

The earlier ones caused him great pain, but the later ones were a little better, since spiritual plants and beast taming were his forte.

But things got complicated again with the last dozen or so real people.

Take, for example, the Master Du standing before him.

This family, whose members are from the same lineage, is considered a moderately large family within the Four Seasons Sect. They were tasked by the sect to guard three market towns.

Li Ye's gourd, Kansheng potato, Shujiao, and mutated Xiguang rice are all excellent spiritual plants. They are not only rare and valuable, but most importantly, they can have an impact on a certain place.

For these monks who cared deeply about their families, how to introduce these crops was a matter of great concern.

“Nephew.” Master Du was very sincere and didn’t beat around the bush: “Our area has abundant water veins, and I would like to ask you to designate Dongyan Market as an experimental field.”

Both sweet potato and Xiguang rice are fine.

All future profits from these crops will go to my nephew/niece…one-thousandth!

Upon hearing his words, the other real people behind him immediately thought to themselves that this guy was cunning—one in a thousand!
It's like Li Ye only needs to provide the name of an experimental field and seeds, and all the profits in the future will be distributed to Li Ye as one-thousandth.

Moreover, Dongyan Market has a special geographical location. The vast lake there is boundless, and there are many cultivators coming and going. It is even faster to get spirit stones than to mine spirit stone mines.

Generally speaking, it would be one in ten thousand.

As a result, this guy immediately said one in a thousand, so what were they supposed to say?
One percent?
Li Ye had also learned about some of the circumstances.

He frowned: "Uncle Du, you're giving too much. Although I like spirit stones, I need to make sure you can raise and grow sweet potato dragons and Dawn Rice."

"You've just introduced yourself with such a strange distribution ratio; it makes me wonder if there's something unspeakable going on behind the scenes?"

As a Golden Core cultivator, he looked at his fellow Golden Core cultivator, Uncle Du, with clear eyes that held an unwavering brilliance, which actually made Uncle Du feel some pressure.

"Ugh."

Master Du cupped his hands in greeting: "Indeed, it cannot be hidden from my junior disciple."

"Everyone says that my Du family dominates Dongyan Market, and every year the catch of fish and aquatic creatures from Dongyan alone is countless."

But they didn't know that the other two markets under the Du family's control relied entirely on the profits from the Dongyan Market to purchase grain.

Those two market towns contain important formations and palaces of the sect, and the surrounding land cannot be cultivated and must be left as it is.

So I really desperately need new food crops.

He took out a jade slip and handed it to Li Ye.

Li Ye was slightly moved after reading it, because it contained the Du family's annual income from Dongyan Market and every expenditure on grain purchases, with the sect's mark to ensure its authenticity.

A rough calculation shows that almost 70% of the money was used to buy grain.

Moreover, this food will be transported free of charge to the other two markets for distribution, including the food needed by mortals within the Mountain and River Realm.

Leaving aside whether the Du family has any other income besides the markets, they are barely managing to maintain a balance between income and expenditure by operating these three markets alone.

If anything happens, they will immediately lose money.

This was indeed something Li Ye hadn't expected.

That's a market town!

Dongyan Market is a very bustling market, second only to some markets directly controlled by sects. Logically speaking, it should be a dragon that lays golden eggs, so why is this the case?

He had a headache.

The data is presented directly here, and it's certainly intuitive.

Even so, he did not agree. Instead, he suddenly stood up and said to the several masters waiting behind him, "Why don't you uncles hand over the application to me?"

To be frank, I need to see the place in person before making a decision.

If I could, I certainly wouldn't hold back.

Several real people sighed slightly.

They knew this was the best outcome, so they all submitted their applications to Li Ye.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, my junior apprentice."

"If you need to go anywhere, just call us and we'll come."

"Don't worry, nephew, what you saw is definitely real!"

They all made promises.

During this time, Li Ye glanced around and found that most of them had their own difficulties.

The Four Seasons Sect had extremely strict requirements for them in this regard. As for the claim that they were profiting from the market, that was practically impossible.

Li Ye was aware of this as well, if there were so many spirit stones earned from non-market taxes.

That must still be the fault of those cultivators, just like that rat senior brother from before, who never dared to directly reach for the mine.

Some income is fine, but if it's too much...

The law enforcement cultivators of the Four Seasons Sect will not show any mercy.

Li Ye even felt a little sorry for them, as they not only had to manage the market, but also had to pay out of their own pockets to cover the costs.

But why is there a food shortage everywhere?
He'll only know for sure once he sees it for himself.

"call."

That concludes the discussion.

He stretched and yawned. He had been here for a full six months, which was only because the true people preached very quickly. Otherwise, it would probably have taken a year or two to finish.

"Thanks for your hard work."

The third senior brother had been waiting here the whole time. He came over, patted Li Ye on the shoulder, and then said in a low voice, "You have no idea how satisfied the senior uncles are with you!"

—In fact, he didn't even need to say it; the friendly and genuine people who were leaving and greeting him said it all.

But when Li Ye and his third senior brother left after all the cultivators had left, the expression on Li Ye's face immediately fell:

"Senior brother, you don't know that it's a huge test for me to learn so much in just half a year."

"This is truly exhausting for my junior brother!"

That's true. Even with exceptional talent and supernatural abilities like the "Understanding Melody" that facilitate communication, it wouldn't be easy for him to memorize and learn all that knowledge.

What's even more terrifying is that this is just basic knowledge. If he creates new species of a higher level in the future, he will need to study even more profound knowledge.

After all, he must understand the underlying principles; otherwise, simply pushing it out arbitrarily will surely sow the seeds of future trouble.

It's a pity that he hesitated for so long and didn't specifically learn any Dao such as formations, but now he's been forced to become an "all-rounder," and will have to continue to study it in depth in the future.

The thought of such a future made him feel utterly exhausted.

The third senior brother laughed heartily from the side: "Otherwise, why do you think Master didn't arrange for you to learn other knowledge? Why is such a powerful spiritual plant master of such a high status?"
That's because there's a lot to learn.

There is a way to deal with any situation.

Simply farming and staying in seclusion in a cave is definitely not enough.

Okay, okay, don't look so down. Why don't you look up and look into the distance?

He cupped Li Ye's head and pushed it in a certain direction.

The distant scenery instantly came into Li Ye's view—a clear and gently flowing body of water, stretching for thousands of miles.

At intervals along the waterways stand dikes built by beavers, varying in size, some so large they resemble palaces.

Each dike guides the aquatic creatures above the waters, calming the surging currents, and each dike is uniquely connected to the others, forming a continuous expanse.

These countless dikes have divided the vast expanse of water into a separate "kingdom" belonging to the beavers.

The beavers chirped and frolicked inside, fishing and playing.

Looking up, the turbulent, yellowish waters of Weichuan were nowhere to be seen; the beauty was breathtaking.

“These are beavers…”

As soon as Li Ye began to murmur, the five lotus-shaped seats and the beavers holding lotus lanterns on them flew over quickly, rushing towards Li Ye like fireballs.

She instantly clung to him, chirping excitedly and rubbing against him affectionately.

These chubby, soft little creatures are a bit heavy, but they are nothing to a Golden Core cultivator.

Their enthusiasm made Li Ye forget all other thoughts.

He lowered his head, and all he could see was his reflection in the eyes of the beavers.

Crystal clear, yet radiant.

This softened his expression unconsciously.
