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

Chapter 214 Extraterrestrial Ants, Earthquake and Earthworm Blood
Why are you dressed like this?

After welcoming them in, Li Ye asked curiously, "I remember that only the Central Plains had dynasties. Why are you all dressed like this?"

"Uh."

Duan Jiurui felt heartbroken whenever she mentioned this.

She said helplessly, "Your sect's Master Su Xing made a bet with my master, and my master lost. Then Master Su Xing suggested that we wear these to help you."

"..."

Li Ye could only give an awkward smile.

If his master suddenly asked him to change his clothes, he would do so as long as it wasn't too outrageous—most masters in this cultivation world are truly like teachers and fathers.

It is only natural that children should repay their parents' debts.

wrong.

That's Li Ye's master, how could he possibly lose?

Wei Qingye, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh.

Sword cultivators, for some reason, don't get along well with the body cultivators of the Spirit Forging Sect. They can't hide their gloating expressions when the other side suffers a setback.

Then they were met with angry stares from the body cultivators.

"So what kind of bet was it?"

Li Ye instinctively felt that this bet might be related to him.

really.

Upon hearing this question, Duan Jiurui sighed deeply: "Fellow Daoist, have you not noticed the commotion in Dongcang Market? The auction slots you sold have soared to the point where they must be bid on with natural spirit stones."

Upon hearing her mention it, Li Ye remembered that he had also prepared for an auction and sent invitations to some friends.

The auction will sell the right to use the Five-Colored Water Lily, the quota for importing the Potato Dragon, the quota for shops in Dongcang Market, and various other spiritual items.

He hadn't paid much attention to it at first.

After all, it's just a way to gain fame.

Generally, new markets do this to showcase their strength and attract regular customers.

The result now seems to have a slightly different meaning?
"My master made a bet with True Person Su Xing to see how many forces would send people to compete. As a result, not only major forces from the other four domains, but even people from outside the domain came."

"Outside the domain?"

The one who raised the question was Wei Qingye.

He didn't continue to tease the body cultivators, but asked with a puzzled look, "If people from outside the realm want to enter our world, shouldn't they be subject to absolute surveillance?"

Isn't the Qiongguan Great Evolution Divine Array on Qiongguan Mountain for doing just that?

How could they possibly be allowed to attend an auction of this caliber?

It's important to know that the Four Seasons Sect, as the place in this world that preserves the most spiritual beasts and plants, has the strictest border control. Not to mention those from outside the region, even those from the local area have to undergo very strict checks before entering.

For example, Wei Qingye was only able to enter the Eastern Region for training because he had the endorsement of a real person.

Li Ye also looked over with a curious gaze.

Duan Jiurui was now certain that Li Ye really hadn't been paying attention to the situation over there. No wonder Master Su Xing had asked her to write everything down; it turned out he was here to deliver a message and get things done!

"This matter is also related to Fellow Daoist Li."

"Didn't Fellow Daoist Li explore a celestial cave with the Mo family before? The spirit ant colony there possesses intelligence similar to our human race. The extraterrestrial beings this time are the royal family of the ant race."

She waved her hand.

The water mirror then forms a picture.

Inside were a group of creatures who looked no different from humans, but had ant antennae on their foreheads, and wore extremely elaborate robes with jingling ornaments.

Upon seeing this, Li Ye understood why the elders in the sect were willing to let them participate in the auction. It turned out they wanted to show off their abilities and then had the idea of ​​subduing and recruiting them.

Such a brand-new race, and a special species like the ant race, made the cultivators of the Four Seasons Sect ecstatic. They were thinking about how to kidnap... no, how to bring them into their possession.
So, earthquakes and earthworms should also be related to these creatures.

Otherwise, the extremely special spirit beast Earthquake Earth wouldn't have been sent to Dongcang Market on the border so easily—there are too many markets waiting for their arrival, and even if Li Ye has a special relationship with it, they shouldn't be treated this way.

The Mo family had once given him some data about the extraterrestrial meteorite space. It was a meteorite with the five elements leaning towards fire and earth, which meant that there would be many minerals left in the vast meteorite space.

In addition, those ant tribes have a natural affinity for eating minerals...

Is that so?

Do they guide them using the mineral veins created by earthworms?

Li Ye happened to be very interested in those ant tribes.

He immediately became interested: "Fellow Daoists, please help me guide the Earthquake Earth into the earth's veins first, and then we can go and check out the auction together."

Wei Qingye certainly wouldn't refuse.

The people from the Spirit Forging Sect were there to do the work. Once they finished, they could take off the armor, which looked quite heroic and imposing but was really uncomfortable. They couldn't wait to do so.

The Forging Spirit Sect mainly cultivates body tempering, and the body is their magic weapon. It is said that some highly skilled Forging Spirit Sect cultivators will lose all their clothes while fighting, which makes them more free to defend and attack.

I can only say that he truly lives up to his master's reputation; he really knows how to have fun.

……

Dongcangfang Market.

underground.

Li Ye met another acquaintance here, oh no, I mean, a familiar rat.

It was a white-haired rat wearing a vest, leisurely lying on a recliner. On the table next to it were some braised pork hock, braised beef, and other braised dishes, as well as fried peanuts and a few bottles of liquor.

They look so relaxed and content.

"Brother Mouse, you're living a pretty good life."

Li Ye's tone was very casual.

But the white mouse was startled and actually jumped up from the chair using its tail, its face beaming with a smile: "Master Lingye, I can't accept the title of senior brother!"

"What does it matter?" Li Ye didn't care. Names were irrelevant to him. When did he ever need a title to declare his status?

Brother Rat was deeply moved.

Before coming, he was a little worried. After all, Li Ye's promotion and fame were like climbing a ladder to immortality. Did he really still remember his "senior brother"?

Now it's clear that Li Ye is still Li Ye after all.

Even Li Ye's overall demeanor became increasingly peaceful, giving him an unconscious urge to get closer to her.

However, just as he moved closer, intending to say something—

"Jiji!"

A shrill cry echoed from the void.

A shimmering, golden-furred rat darted out, hissing angrily at him, startling him.

Damn it.

This is a golden-haired rat!

Their mineral-hunting spirit rat clan possesses the bloodline of the Golden-haired Rat, enabling them to traverse the earth freely and search for all sorts of minerals.

Where did Master Lingye find such a pure-blooded golden-haired rat?
The golden-haired rat blocked his path, then contentedly scurried back into its nest in the void. This nest was a small, movable space that would move with Li Ye.

"I'm sorry I startled you." Li Ye felt a little apologetic. Although this guy was a Golden-haired Rat, he was really no match for the group of spirit beasts in his cave.

So much so that it became somewhat anxious and indecisive.

It was truly afraid that some other spirit beast would steal away its already meager affection.

"it's okay no problem!"

Brother Rat dared not say anything.

That kind of bloodline suppression is like a dog seeing a stick.

He understood the purpose of Li Ye and the others' visit and immediately invited, "Master Lingye, esteemed guests, please follow me!"

soon.

The group then arrived at the earth's veins.

This time, the array and earth veins of Dongcang Market were entirely the methods of the Four Seasons Sect, and naturally, they did not have the orderly gears and various mechanisms that the Mo family had used before.

Instead, it is a very delicate array of patterns made of flowers, grasses, and vines, full of vitality and spirit—these patterns flow like life into the deep soil layers, wrapping around the earth veins that resemble willow branches.

The warm, moist luster silently seeps into every grain of soil, and through the operation of the array, this soil is gradually transported to various places, thus slowly transforming the land without causing any stress response.

Li Ye could tell at a glance that this earth vein must have been created by a sect.

Thanks to the Four Seasons Sect's philosophy of seeking profound methods and great principles from the natural world, these formations do not appear out of place in the land at all; on the contrary, they blend in very well, as if they were meant to be.

Standing on the jade platform, looking down.

It didn't feel like I was on the ground at all; rather, it felt like I was surrounded by an exceptionally beautiful array, and even breathing felt unusually easy.

"Master, esteemed guests."

"The earthworms that were transported this time are all adults."

“You all need to forcibly drag them into the formation. Don’t worry about bloodshed or injury; it’s necessary. Only by making them feel pain and bleed can they better integrate into this place.”

Senior Brother Rat ran to a distant array and shouted, "Let me know when you're ready!"

"We were ready a long time ago."

The cultivators from the Spirit Forging Sect were all eager to fight, and even gave Wei Qingye a provocative look—in terms of strength, sword cultivators simply couldn't catch up.

Wei Qingye had nothing to say.

"Then I'll let it go!"

Senior Brother Rat pressed the light seal within the formation.

Next breath——

Suddenly, nine earthworms, each as large as a mountain, appeared.

They've been trapped here for a while now and are quite agitated. Having finally made contact with the earth, they naturally want to burrow deep into the soil as quickly as possible.

Just then, the body cultivators jumped down.

When it landed, even the ground trembled slightly.

Their armor shimmered with strange runic light, and with each breath, their bodies began to grow larger. They couldn't be said to have truly become giants, but they were at least able to grab the tail of the earthworm.

There were no shouts or calls to communicate; they simply exchanged glances, and then they began to exert their strength, dragging the bodies of the earthworms that were trying to burrow underground, forcibly pulling them into the formation.

The poor earthworm was being dragged with such brute force, emitting extremely fine and sharp cries that caused the surrounding land to shake violently, and it continued to drip blood.

Every drop of blood that falls to the ground will grow into some "mineral flowers." The roots of these mineral flowers penetrate deep into the earth, gradually spreading outwards. As the earth's veins and formations operate, they are transported to various places in a disorderly manner.

Li Ye, watching from above, actually felt that the earth-shaking earthworms were kind of...exciting?

That's right.

Although they struggled, attacked, and screamed, their mood was almost entirely one of pleasure, with a few expressing "ecstasy" and "craving."

Clearly, they were already immersed in the enjoyment of wrestling with the cultivators of the Spirit Forging Sect and spilling blood—the sharp rocks and thick soil were covered with different kinds of mineral flowers.

Li Ye asked his senior brother, the Rat:

"Senior Brother Rat, if we use an array to guide it, will we not achieve the same effect?"

Senior Brother Rat nodded: "That's right. Our Four Seasons Sect certainly has ways to lure them here, but none of them are as satisfying as a real struggle against them."

Unfortunately, there are too few people in our sect who practice body tempering. In this situation, we can only ask for help from other sects. And junior brother, have you seen their method of transformation?

This is the great divine power of the Law of Heaven and Earth, brought from the Upper Realm by the founder of the Spirit Forging Sect! Only the Spirit Forging Sect possesses it!

That's truly impressive!

You could tell from his tone how envious Senior Brother Rat was of their tall and imposing physiques.

Follow the laws of heaven and earth?

Speaking of which, the Nine Songs that I cultivate seems to be a divine power from the upper realm, but only the complete Nine Songs can be considered one.

Whenever Li Ye thought of Jiuge, he thought of how he had been building houses every day recently. So, do these earthworms need houses?
He knew the idea was strange.

But he still tried to casually summon the symphony of communication to communicate with the earthworm.

It wasn't exactly communication, but rather the transmission of a thought—

Do you need a room?
He was just trying it out, and if it didn't work out, so be it.

To everyone's surprise, the earthworms suddenly stopped, their dark eyes staring straight at Li Ye, filled with longing.

They even stopped.

"..."

Li Ye felt waves emanating from the earth.

You must know that the earth here was fixed by him using the art of earth manipulation, which means that the earth could transmit emotions to him at any time—and now it is the earth-shaking earthworm that is transmitting the desire.

Li Ye immediately sensed that something was wrong.

But immediately a bold idea popped into his mind.

He has been spoiled by his elders to the point of being "unruly," so when he tries to cause trouble, he always wants to do something big.

He glanced at his senior brother, Rat, and said in a deep voice, "Senior brother, what authority do you have over this place? I want to take over everything now."

Brother Rat was first surprised, then pondered, and finally made a decisive decision:
"Row."

Just do it.

He immediately transferred all the access to the earth veins under his control to Li Ye, then cupped his hands in a gesture of respect: "Regardless of merits or demerits, you must take me with you, Master!"

That guy is incredibly cunning.

Since Li Ye came up with his "bold idea," he has never had any problems. In fact, it can be said that every time he has a flash of inspiration, he can create a pretty good item.

It would be a good idea to latch onto Li Ye's coattails at the right time.

Li Ye glanced at Senior Brother Rat a few more times, but didn't say anything. He simply sat cross-legged, with Wei Qingye naturally standing behind him as his protector.

He was the one who sorted out the earth veins here, so it was very easy for him to take over the authority. He took over the entire complex earth vein system in just a moment.

then……

The entire Dongcangfang market trembled violently.
