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

Chapter 195 The Truth About Blood, Sea Spirit Land
Oh, I almost forgot about this.

Li Ye slapped his forehead.

At the time, this thing was actually considered an expensive spiritual plant for him. It only provided a personal space, and the price of one Void Grass was enough to buy a cheaper storage ring.

Moreover, the storage ring has a larger storage space than the Void Grass.

Furthermore, subsequent cultivation requires Void Stones, which are the main materials for storage artifacts and magical treasures, and are even more expensive than Void Grass.

At that time, Li Ye was short of money and couldn't afford to buy it, so the price-performance ratio was relatively low.

He originally planned to modify it slowly when he had more spirit stones.

So I got some Void Grass for a few beavers and then put it aside, and forgot about it until now.

But judging from the third senior brother's expression, this seems to be something extraordinary.

He looked at his third senior brother with a questioning gaze, but the latter just seemed to be deep in thought and obviously did not notice them.

"..."

Li Ye stopped looking at it.

"A beaver with storage space?" Su Ya was quite surprised: "Generally, only high-level spirit beasts can devour some spiritual materials with spatial power and then refine them in their bodies to form small storage spaces."

I never expected that this beaver would have such abilities at the very beginning of its cultivation.

"Junior brother, your skills in cultivating spiritual plants and raising spiritual beasts are becoming increasingly impressive."

Li Ye smiled calmly: "It was just something I did casually. I have completely mastered this method of cultivating symbiosis. No matter what kind of spirit beast it is, it can coexist with the Void Grass."

"..."

The third senior brother had just finished thinking and came back to his senses when he heard these words.

He silently watched Li Ye, feeling that his status was about to be further diminished.

Why is this junior brother so talented?

“Brother Li.” Yang Ke’s eyes lit up as he looked at the Void Grass on the beaver’s head. “I wonder if I could ask Brother Li to help me raise a batch of spirit beasts.”

We'll cover the cost of the Void Grass, and give Brother Li an additional 20,000 spirit stones for each one to cultivate. We'll also share the subsequent profits with Brother Li.

what do you think? "

"To cultivate spirit beasts for you?"

Li Ye shook his head and said, "My secret method allows these spiritual plants and beasts to coexist. You need to sign a contract with the spiritual plants and beasts to make them my spiritual pets."

Therefore, it is impossible to simply help you cultivate spirit beasts.

But what kind of spirit beast is it?

He was somewhat curious, but he wasn't short of spirit stones these days, and he definitely wouldn't help if it was just about raising spirit beasts.

Although somewhat disappointed, Yang Ke still replied:
"It is a special kind of spiritual clam in our tribe, called the Sea-Sinking Clam."

“This kind of spirit clam is very special. After it is born, it will spend ten years accumulating spiritual power and then nurture a pearl in its slumber.”

“During the process of gestation, they do not absorb any external spiritual energy other than the spiritual energy they originally accumulated. However, the amount of spiritual energy accumulated determines the quality of the pearl. Even a slight deviation in spiritual energy can result in a world of difference in quality.”

So I figured the spiritual energy accumulated within these Void Grasses should also be considered part of their own spiritual energy.

This kind of mythical beast sounds quite interesting.

Li Ye understood and said, "I see. Then why don't you sell me some sunken seashells, Brother Yang, and I'll sell you pearls in return."

Yang Ke had anticipated that Li Ye would propose to buy it: "It is possible, but the sunken sea clam needs at least ten feet of seawater to survive, and it is also very sensitive to the surrounding spiritual energy environment."

Although I know Brother Li's capabilities, I still hope he can be fully prepared before making the purchase.

Li Ye certainly wouldn't take this advice lightly.

Actually, he had originally intended to create a scenic area called "Sea Spirit Land". He had previously created a small area on short notice, which was more like a beach than a scenic area.

At the time, I hadn't fully decided what to raise in it, which is why I've been hesitating until now.

Now that we have the opportunity, let's get it all done in one go and officially turn that temporary beach into a brand new Hailingdi.

Now his cave dwelling contains everything that flies in the sky, swims in the water, and walks on the ground; the only thing missing is something from the sea.

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Yang. I will prepare a suitable depth of sea spirit land for cultivation. But how many spirit stones will the sunken sea clam cost?"

“The sunken sea clam… each one costs 100,000 spirit stones.” Yang Ke was a little embarrassed. He wanted to offer a cheaper price, but unfortunately, this thing was indeed very expensive.

It's almost as good as placing a Golden Rooster order.

"what?"

Li Ye shook his head and chuckled, "Brother Yang, are you worried that I can't afford it? Let's start with ten. I'll try raising them and then see if I can buy more later."

"it is good."

Yang Ke nodded.

He suddenly felt that Li Ye was suddenly rich and powerful, so he took the initiative to promote some good spiritual plants and beasts in the following chat.

This was exactly what Li Ye wanted to do.

He didn't have time to carefully search for suitable spiritual plants and beasts in the Eastern Yang Sea last time, but now he finally has the opportunity.

So he began to inquire in detail about various basic spiritual plants and beasts—it's best not to take too big a step at the beginning, after all, this is the first time he has raised spiritual plants and beasts in the sea.

Soon, the third senior brother and Su Ya also joined the discussion.

One of them was well-traveled and knowledgeable, while the other was familiar with the sources of the spiritual materials needed for various elixirs. Their suggestions were all invaluable.

After some discussion.

Ultimately, Li Ye decided to purchase the sunken sea clam, the sword pillar fish, a type of coral called the Azure Sea Spirit Reef, and the Abyss Sea Clear Scale Leaf.

The first three all belong to the category of spirit beasts.

Especially the coral polyps of the Azure Sea Reef. These coral polyps are very special. Their lifespan is extremely long, and it can even be said that there is no end. There is an Azure Sea Reef that is 70,000 years old in the Eastern Yang Sea.

That sacred reef in the blue sea is already a holy site for the merfolk, and no one is allowed to enter it at will.

Their uniqueness lies in the fact that every month they shed their original shells, piling them up like coral, and then gradually spreading outwards in an endless process.

What's even more interesting is that these coral polyps are actually male and female, but they only reproduce once in their lifetime. Apart from that, all they have left to do is build their own coral colony.

The coral reefs they build do not have any clear medicinal effects, but they can purify seawater, and the accumulated sea sand in the coral reefs will gradually turn into a spiritual material called "Azure Sea Spirit Sand".

As the coral reefs they accumulate grow larger, their ability to purify seawater becomes increasingly powerful, and the quantity and quality of the resulting aquatic sand also increase.

It can be considered one of the most basic spirit beasts used to build the Sea Spirit Land.

Seeing that he was about to acquire so many interesting spiritual plants and beasts, and also build the Sea Spirit Land, Li Ye couldn't help but look on with anticipation.

Although the fact that it cost a full two million spirit stones made him feel a little heartbroken.

But the anticipation still outweighs the financial pain.

After chatting about the interesting things in the sea, the third senior brother took the initiative to bring up the Void Grass, saying that he had some ideas about it, but he still needed to ask his master before making a decision.

Although Li Ye was curious about what his master was thinking and wanted to ask, since the other party didn't say it explicitly, he didn't ask any further questions.

that's it,
After chatting for about two days, the three of them said their goodbyes. When they left, the third senior brother and Su Ya exchanged a few more words with Li Ye.

It's about relief engraving.

His third senior brother patted him on the shoulder and said, "As your cultivation level increases and your status rises, you will inevitably encounter things like this."

Even though you value relationships, you can't be a saint, right?
Another day I'll take you to the Spirit Realm to relax and have some fun.

Li Ye chuckled and said, "I know. I already call him Brother Yang, but he still calls me Senior Li. It really doesn't matter. Senior Brother, you don't need to worry about me."

I'm not some little kid. How about we have a fight?
"You had a magic weapon when I fought with my senior brother the other day, but this time it's in my cave. That way, we're even."

The third senior brother's lips twitched, and he simply turned and left—this guy is really unlikable. He'll definitely find a few fellow cultivators from the Spirit Clan to help him beat up his junior brother another day!
Su Ya stated more explicitly: "You don't need to care about my feelings, just do what you need to do."

Li Ye nodded, his smile still gentle: "Why bother with this? Otherwise, you'll have to go back to refining pills later, wouldn't that only make you more troubled?"

"..."

Su Ya did the same thing as his third senior brother, and simply turned and left.

But he felt relieved, finally able to leave with peace of mind.

Li Ye watched them leave from behind.

Having already made up his mind, he decided to observe the flow of spiritual energy within the drop of blood and, while doing so, learn more about the Moon Soul Terror Curse. Having made this decision, Li Ye frowned as he gazed at the lake, concealing his final sigh.

Then, while instructing Lingji Teng to arrange matters at Hailing Land, he took the drop of blood that it had just collected.

He looked down and observed carefully.

Blood floated in his palm, tinged with a golden halo, but within it were faint, moon-like runes.

It looked like a golden heart covered with dark white vines, which made Li Ye feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"It really takes mental preparation and courage to eat something like this."

He sighed, and branches of the Jianmu tree emerged from his palm, slowly wrapping around the blood droplet and sending it into the Jianmu world.

The power belonging to Jianmu immediately began to analyze the drop of blood, and Li Ye, as the master of Jianmu, was naturally able to directly sense the complex and chaotic spiritual energy composition within it.

Other cultivators cannot match his ability to fuse the power of the Jianmu tree, nor can they match his keen insight enhanced by the Jianmu tree.

He soon discovered some clues:
"Moon Soul Curse..."

"And there's also the worship and aversion to the sun..."

"And... an even purer merman bloodline."

The result surprised him quite a bit.

The purity of the merfolk bloodline here has surpassed that of the spirit race bloodlines like Yang Ke recorded within the sect. It is approaching that of a true pure-blooded merfolk, with the human portion being stripped away.

In other words, the Moon Soul Terror Curse is actually purifying bloodlines?
He murmured to himself:

"No way."

"I don't believe that no real person or Nascent Soul cultivator has been discovered for so long."

He was indeed confident, but not arrogant. So many cultivators had studied the bloodline of merfolk; there was no reason why none of them would discover it.

If everyone is sticking to the same story and not speaking out... then it must come from a higher level, such as Patriarch Wangshu? Did she forbid the cultivators of the Four Seasons Sect from revealing this matter?

Isn't it a good thing to purify bloodlines? You know, so many spirit beasts yearn to purify their bloodlines. Compared to humans, bloodlines basically limit how far they can go on their future path.

Moreover, judging from the situation just now, my third senior brother didn't know about this either, otherwise he would definitely have told him the truth.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that the thing was a bit too hot to handle.

I'm not scared, though.

I just find it a bit troublesome.

He decided to put the matter aside for the time being and wait for his master to return so he could ask him about it. He wanted to repay the favor, but he didn't want to get caught up in this mess.

……

Time passed slowly.

A few days later.

Lingji Teng first prepared the Sea Spirit Land, and then placed the various spiritual plants and beasts sent by Yang Ke into it.

The requirements for a true Sea Spirit Land are quite high. It requires at least 100 acres of open land, a one-time rent payment of one million spirit stones, and a monthly rent payment of one thousand spirit stones.

Fortunately, Yuan Yan had been sending spirit stones over the past six months, and the sect's sales of treasures had also started to generate revenue, allowing him to afford to renovate his cave dwelling with such wealth.

He stood on the soft, white sand and gazed into the distance.

In the distance lies a hundred acres of azure sea, with mysterious array patterns along its edge preventing the seawater from eroding the surrounding land.

The pure scent of the ocean, carried by the sea breeze and waves, can only be found within these hundred acres; if you step back even slightly, the scent will vanish without a trace.

"A hundred acres of sea..."

Li Ye was extremely curious about how this sea area was fixed in place. One hundred acres! Calling it a small to medium-sized lake would be acceptable, but calling it an ocean is really going too far.

He simply jumped into the sea. The sea area was purchased with the requirement that it be the same as the sea area of ​​Dongji Yanghai, so the seawater was very warm after entering.

The seawater was extremely clear, even excessively so.

After all, only a small amount of spirit beasts and plants have been added to this hundred acres of seawater; the rest is just empty seawater.

But after swimming for a while, he suddenly noticed a group of chubby, grayish little creatures around him—beavers, who were swimming happily in the sea.

Well, the beaver has turned into a sea beaver.

He didn't disturb them, letting them play freely while he went deeper into the sea to investigate. He discovered that there was also a formation here.

Moreover, the patterns of the array are somewhat similar to those of the branches of the Jianmu tree, both being spatial arrays. This means that this "Sea Spirit Land" is actually directly embedded in his own cave dwelling.

Rather than calling it a sea, it's more accurate to describe it as a space spanning a hundred miles.

"No wonder the interior is so well maintained."

If it were truly a sea, it would definitely impact the internal environment of the cave, making this situation indeed more suitable.

With his doubts resolved, he began to observe the spiritual plants and beasts he had bought, starting with the sunken sea clam.

Surprisingly, this spirit beast was quite enormous.

Each one is about the size of an acre and two or three zhang tall. They sit motionless on the seabed, their shells wide open, and spiritual energy flows into them like rivers flowing into the sea.

Its shell is filled with countless crystals embedded in the clam meat, giving it a strange, sparkling effect. They also look extremely neat, like a starry sky surrounding the center.

"The seashell they sent me was supposed to be used to make pearls?"

Li Ye couldn't help but admire Yang Ke's competence.

Pearls from sunken seashells are extremely valuable; depending on their quality, each pearl can fetch at least 50,000 spirit stones.

In other words, he will be able to recoup his investment of 50,000 yuan in a short period of time, having purchased the sunken seashell for only half the price.

But what's the point? He really doesn't lack spirit stones. Does he think he can make up for it with just this little bit?

With that thought in mind, he took out the Void Grass, looked it over from left to right, and began to bind it to the Sea Shell.

[10000 points of vitality essence are required for binding.]

Ten thousand points?

What was the last time it reached 10,000 points?

Li Ye didn't think much of it. During this period, he was full of vitality and had nothing to fear.

The binding was completed immediately.

Then the Void Grass merged into the clam meat, and after a while, it emerged in the very center of the clam shell, exactly where countless crystalline starlight shone.

That is, the place where pearls are formed.

The Void Grass, at this size, is truly inconspicuous within a clam shell the size of an acre of land, but Li Ye quickly discovered that the Void Grass faintly conveyed a consciousness—

hungry!
Okay, then I'll give you the Void Stone.

The wealthy and powerful Li Ye simply threw out several Void Stones, but those Void Stones were not absorbed by the Void Grass. Instead, they were directly replaced by the wriggling clam meat, replacing the crystals that were originally embedded in the clam meat.

Several crystals fell down.

That was the crystallization of spiritual energy it had painstakingly accumulated over decades!

Upon seeing this, Li Ye's heart stirred.

If the Void Stone replaced the Spirit Power Crystal... what would the pearl look like?

With that thought in mind, he gritted his teeth and threw the Void Stones, each worth 50,000 spirit stones, into the clam meat as if they were free.

One, two, three...

When a total of eighty-one pieces had been lost, all the original spiritual energy crystals in the clam meat had fallen off—they were originally smaller than the Void Stones.

After all the spiritual energy crystals were replaced, the Sea-Sinking Clam suddenly began to tremble, and its shell slowly closed.

Li Ye quickly swam out.

The moment he stepped out, the clam shell closed completely, and at the same time, a surge of spiritual energy surrounded the clam shell, isolating it from all external spiritual energy intrusion and spying.

Even his divine sense, as a Golden Core cultivator, could not penetrate it.

Fortunately, he still maintained his connection with the Void Grass, so after some trouble, he was able to see what was inside.
