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

Chapter 222 The Gift of Compassion, the Seasons of the Granary

The moment this worry-free granary appeared.

The sect leader, who was sitting in the Four Seasons Hall, slowly brewing tea on a small red clay stove and occasionally picking up a few peanuts and roasted sweet potatoes to eat, was suddenly stunned.

"what."

He looked at the jade disc beside him, where the two characters "Li Ye" were being flashed wildly with golden light that belonged to merit.

"What extraordinary thing has this child done this time, something that could affect the sect's fortune?"

The sect leader seemed somewhat helpless when he said this, but in fact, he was helpless.

As Li Ye's abilities became more and more apparent, he increasingly regretted not having taken a trip to Huiya Market back then.

As a result, that kid Su Xing found such a rough gem for nothing.

He thought for a moment, staring intently at the dazzling light—each flash signifying the descent of a merit or two.

The flashing frequency increased faster and faster, and finally stopped after flashing a full 35,000 times.

In other words, according to the sect's Four Seasons Jade Tablet estimate, this new species can obtain a merit reward of 35,000 taels!
Do you know how much merit a sect earns for finding a new species?
One hundred taels!

What incredible thing did this kid just make?

Just then, a soft, gender-neutral voice rang out:

"I gonna go see."

Ci Huai's voice flashed by, and the pulsating merit was temporarily sealed off—as if to prevent Li Ye from knowing about such a large amount of merit so quickly.
why?
The sect leader was somewhat confused for the first time.

……

"This is... a granary?"

In Yuan Yan's not-so-shallow understanding, a granary should be for storing grain—or at least for producing it and then being self-sufficient, right?

"Of course, it's the granary."

Li Ye said with great certainty, "It can store grain and prevent it from spoiling, isn't that a granary?"

But who would plant and harvest at the same time?
Moreover, what methods did Li Ye use? Just now, he could feel a terrifying surge of life force, almost like the Milky Way flowing backwards.

Under the sweep of this vitality, all obstacles seemed to disappear.

Is this Li Ye's unique supernatural power?
The thought had just arisen when he suddenly had an idea. He looked up at Li Ye and saw infinite light in the latter's clear eyes, like the light of heaven that permeated the entire world.

In that instant, he understood.

"Fellow."

"You are the only successor of the Nine Songs Mountain Spirit, so you should be willing to take me as your subordinate."

"I do have some minor skills, by all accounts."

Such supernatural abilities are usually not to be shown to others, but Li Ye did not hide them, which means that the other party was confident that he would not reveal even the slightest secret.

He might as well surrender voluntarily.

Anyway, I was only able to keep my shop here because I was protected by Master Su Xing. Now that I've joined forces with Li Ye, it's not bad.

“A wise choice.”

Li Ye indeed had no intention of letting this progenitor deer go.

His abilities were so unique that they could open up new paths for me, so I couldn't let him go.

“Fellow Daoist Yuan, your life will not be disturbed by anyone. You can continue to run this cave here and receive the protection of the Four Seasons Sect.”

“But you have to give me some blood every month—I will try to study your bloodline and find a substitute.”

"You know that if you are unique, there will inevitably be some dangers, but if you are not, you will be much safer."

In fact, in principle, the Four Seasons Sect would try every means to help special spirit beasts like Yuan Yan, which are on the verge of extinction, to reproduce and thrive, and would even use some precious treasures.

However, since this method is not mandatory, and some spirit beasts are not so enthusiastic about procreation, forcing them to have children might backfire.

Therefore, the Four Seasons School has another method for continuing the bloodline.

"It seems I need to pay another visit to the Compassionate Medicine King."

Li Ye sighed softly.

He always felt that the deity was strange.

It could even be described as somewhat evil, but if you want to use this method, you must first receive His blessing.

If you want to try it yourself, you can't just rely on Yuan Yan to bleed out the blood. That would damage the Yuan Yan's vitality, which is no different from draining the pond to catch all the fish.

……

When Li Ye arrived at the Temple of Gods with the beaver and the granary.

The god, draped in a thin veil, covered in ears of wheat, rice, and countless flowers and grasses, with outstretched arms, and possessing an incomparably handsome yet sinister appearance, was waiting right here.

wrong.

He was holding a white hedgehog in his arms, and one arm was gently stroking the hedgehog. The hedgehog seemed very comfortable, its quills were all soft and limp, and it was sleeping soundly with its belly exposed.

Bai Shunfeng?
I never expected that the prototype of this white fairy would be so cute.

Just as Li Ye was slightly stunned and hesitant about whether to use the recording bead to record this scene.

The Compassionate Medicine King.

He looked up at Li Ye, his eyes filled with boundless compassion and peace.

He said, "What are you cultivating?"

"It is a body that should have been reincarnated but remained in the human world, nurtured by ink and the vitality of the Jinsha people."

Li Ye, who had originally intended to reply, could only shut her mouth.

You've already answered your own question, so what else can I say?

The deity didn't seem to need Li Ye's reply, and continued to say, "Mortals are sick and cannot live forever."

"Go, take the treasure I gave you, and try to cure this incurable disease."

"It can be planted in the granary."

He raised his palm toward Li Ye.

First, a golden ear of wheat flew over, followed by a small orb of light radiating a hazy moonlight.

After the two treasures landed in front of Li Ye, the Compassionate Medicine King lost interest in communicating with him, slowly got up, and quickly disappeared while holding Bai Shunfeng.

It was at this moment that the beaver dared to quietly grab a strand of his hair and gently squeak a few times.

—This guy is terrifying!
Clearly, the beavers sensed that something was wrong with the Compassionate Medicine King.

"It's ok."

Li Ye reassured the beavers one by one, "This deity is registered in our Four Seasons Sect. If he were truly an evil god, our teachers would certainly not allow him to stay here."

He's probably just a little eccentric.

Well, to be honest, the gods are under a lot of pressure, but fortunately they are all magnanimous—or rather, only magnanimity allows them to master so many incredible supernatural powers.

The constraints imposed by the gods are always far greater than those imposed by those who cultivate immortality.

After calming the beaver, he looked down at the items he had received: an ear of wheat and a shimmering orb of moonlight.

The former is a type of barley called "Cihui".

The latter is the life force that can cultivate blood spirits through essence and blood.

Blood spirits are "spirits" cultivated using essence blood. They can split on their own, passing on their bloodline as much as possible, which is a way to help rare spirit beasts continue their bloodline.

Li Ye was no stranger to this, as it had been mentioned many times in the sect's records.

What he cared about was still that ear of wheat.

If he wasn't mistaken, this should have fallen from the body of the Compassionate Medicine King, and it should also be considered a part of Him, a spiritual wheat transformed from the body of a deity.

Was the Compassionate Medicine King waiting here just to give him these two items? Or did He also sense the special nature of this granary and thus offer this gesture of goodwill?

There is also the disease of longevity—can this Cihuai wheat cure this "stubborn disease"?
Even with his current magical power, divine sense, and supernatural abilities, he was still unable to completely penetrate the Compassionate Spirit Wheat, which shows just how special this thing is.

Only the panel is working— [Name]: Compassionate Wheat
Mood: None

[Status]: One of the five grains that fell from the body of the deity "Cihuai". It is a good medicine that the real deity "Cihuai" wanted to use in daily life to cure the short lifespan of mortals.

After leaving the body of the compassionate one, it will fall into a brief slumber until it is able to take root and grow elsewhere, following the rules of the four seasons—spring sowing and autumn harvest.

[Can be bound]: Any "god's" body.

Tsk.

If Li Ye wasn't mistaken, this thing probably needed the physical body of a "deity" to take root and grow.

That compassionate one was specifically waiting for him!

Because of his granary, this worry-free granary is, in a sense, a "god" enlightened by the supernatural powers of the Lady of the Xiang River.

It really is quite eerie.

But to be honest, it did pique his curiosity. He had been thinking about how to help mortals before, and whether this thing was really feasible.

If it were feasible, the sect wouldn't still be in a situation where it hasn't cultivated on a large scale yet—even if it requires the physical bodies of deities to cultivate.

There must be many gods who would be willing to offer up a part of their physical body, right?

Therefore, there should only be one answer: this product has a huge flaw, which even the Compassionate Medicine King cannot solve.

That's why He entrusted this to Him, hoping that He could perfect and cultivate a truly flawless wheat.

After figuring all this out, Li Ye looked up at the direction where Ci Huai had disappeared and whispered:
"It seems there's a difference in lifespan between immortals and mortals. What if we replaced the grains in the Worry-Free Granary with the grains from the Compassionate Medicine King's body..."

Wouldn't that be more effective?

—And what kind of amazing effects would occur if those grains with special properties were used for hybridization and symbiosis?

He had just felt a little uncomfortable looking at the Compassionate Medicine King, but now he suddenly found the deity quite pleasing to the eye.

So pleasing to the eye that I wanted to pluck all their grains and those special rare and exotic plants...

……

Li Ye returned to Dongcang Town with the Worry-Free Granary.

He specifically summoned all the garrison commanders of Yangzhen and announced loudly:

"Everyone!"

"This item is a treasure bestowed upon me by an immortal!"

Although he felt a little ashamed, he still pointed at the Worry-Free Granary without changing his expression and said:

"It's a granary!"

"Inside it are fields where grains can grow. We just need to take good care of the land, and when the grains are harvested, it will husk and store them on its own!"

"It will never decay!"

"Furthermore, we can take out food from it at any time, and it's as fresh as if it had just been picked and harvested. Long-term consumption will also have the miraculous effect of curing all diseases!"

These words immediately caused people to whisper among themselves:
"real or fake?"

"So we won't have to go out to farm anymore? We can just tend the fields right here in this granary?"

"Hey, hey, do you think this granary is the legendary paradise where immortals live?"

Li Ye heard all of these words, but he did not interfere. At the end, he said, "Please go in and see for yourselves."

Then he left quietly.

People just like to watch a good show.

Furthermore, having confirmed that this seemingly ordinary granary was a treasure bestowed upon them by the immortals, posing no danger whatsoever, and that the people, who had lived in peace and prosperity under the protection of the Four Seasons Sect for generations, were naturally eager to go inside and take a look.

Some of the bolder teenagers had already arrived in front of the granary and gently pushed it open.

Then what was presented to them was...

The huge warehouse was dimly lit, or rather, had a color similar to that of an oil lamp. The ground was covered with thick straw, and on top of the straw were five enormous grain mountains!

After basic processing, the grains were piled up on the ground, emitting a wonderful aroma unique to grains. Even people who were no longer worried about food and drink couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw such a huge mountain of grain.

"so much."

"How long can we eat this?"

"Hey, do you think immortals might eat several thousand kilograms in one sitting?"

This last statement was accepted by everyone.

The Four Seasons Sect has never had any concept of fasting. Cultivators often go to decent taverns among mortals to enjoy delicious food, so they naturally think that it's no problem for immortals to eat several thousand kilograms in one meal.

So, their output can actually be given to immortals?

"Let's go quickly!"

The moment this thought arose, an excited expression appeared on their faces. Without saying a word, they followed the five different roads around them and quickly arrived at the fields where the five grains were planted.

The fields here look extremely fertile, and the grains grow very luxuriantly, but since no one is managing them, they can only be described as growing wildly.

People quickly fetched their farming tools, then huffed and puffed as they tilled the land, moving the wildly growing crops and irrigating them...

Time passed slowly amidst their busy work.

The fields inside this granary never experience severe weather; the sky is always clear. But outside, the seasons change.

When the spring rain was falling, people came chatting and laughing, wearing raincoats.

Even in the sweltering summer heat, people with bare backs and straw hats still arrived, chatting and laughing.

When the autumn winds are warm and gentle, they come with great excitement to watch as the grains they have worked so hard to grow are harvested, husked, and then integrated into the vast mountain of grain by an unknown force.

Unseen by them, their laughter and joy, along with the grain being stored, would ripple out in golden waves, silently seeping into the walls.

Even in winter, they still habitually come to see if there's anything they can do, and take some food back to enjoy with their families.

This seemed like a very ordinary daily life, and they quickly got used to working in this magical granary.

Putting aside the immense honor of offering their own harvested grain to the immortals, they would do it just for the sake of the grain here!
The taste of the grain in this worry-free granary is simply indescribable; it's just like the food in the heavenly banquets described in those folk tales.

It was so delicious that I was speechless.

After eating it, you'll feel much lighter, and the ailments left over from years of labor seem to disappear as you consume these foods.

So they took even more diligent care of the grains.

Until, I don’t know, several years later.

While Du was busy hoeing the ground, he suddenly saw a bean plant pull its roots out of the soil.

Then it's just like a person.

It ran off happily with its big strides...

"what?"

Brother Du rubbed his eyes, thinking he must have seen wrong.

wrong.

And it's not just this one—

"What!"

"Wow!"

"Wheat, wheat is alive!"

The screams rose and fell incessantly.

When Brother Du ran outside, he was surprised to find that from the five channels, a continuous stream of grains were running happily forward towards the light.

Then disappear.

It was like suddenly having a bizarre dream.
