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

Chapter 225 Silver Moon and Flint, Dongjun and Wangshu

Are they dead?

This reality pained Li Ye.

He had never had such an unbearable thought since he began his spiritual practice.

The emotions that welled up from the bottom of his heart entwined around him, making him feel somewhat lost for a moment.

His emotions are certainly very rich. To cast many spells means that he must understand those emotions; otherwise, he cannot understand or empathize with them, and thus cannot cast them.

He knew very well that this was both a good thing and a bad thing.

"Tweet?"

Just then, Qingniao Hongdou, who had been recuperating in the cave and had no need for combat, suddenly flapped its wings and flew over.

It landed on him and nuzzled his cheek with its cool beak.

leave.

Since it started following Li Ye, it hadn't felt this way for a very long time; the longing it had felt for Li Ye was almost gone.

Li Ye gently touched its feathers.

The slightly cool touch was like the cold rain at parting, and even he, a Golden Core cultivator who was already immune to heat and cold and could walk alone in the snow wearing only a single layer of clothing, felt damp and cold.

"It doesn't matter."

"I should have known long ago that I am powerless to change matters of life and death, even now."

"But where have their souls gone?"

He had heard many of his senior brothers and sisters say that, for inner disciples like them, the cycle of life and death within their cave dwellings in the Tianwen Mountains was traceable.

Souls will never be reincarnated without their knowledge.

As long as the soul can be found.

He has a way to force them to remain in the world.

At worst, we can just use ink painting techniques to create a body; insect bodies are very easy to work with.

"Chirp?"

The bluebird raised its head and looked up at the sky.

Then a hint of doubt flashed in its eyes, and it chirped a few times at Li Ye before shaking its head.

This means the soul has not been found.

It should be noted that its true form is the Love-Longing and Life-and-Death Bean. Love and life-and-death are like the only colors in this world to it, yet even it couldn't find them.

Is he really gone?

"Owner."

Just then, the Spirit Vine suddenly approached.

"If I'm not mistaken, its vanished soul should have merged into this land."

"It doesn't want you to know that you are about to die, which is why there is this layer of fog here, which neither you nor I noticed."

Just like cats and dogs that are about to die of old age will leave home on their own.

Li Ye nodded silently.

"Of course I know."

"But those who cultivate the Tao are precisely those who demand that one in a million chance."

He bent down and touched the two bright, golden-red flowers with his fingers.

The intense heat reminded him of when he first arrived here, when those little creatures raised their heads to touch him.

[Name]: Flint Soul Flower
Mood: Tranquil
[Status]: A spiritual plant that grows from the body of a flint crystal insect that has burned out in the moonlight and flint fire. As long as "Li Ye" still needs it, it will continue to bloom in any environment.

The goddess Wangshu loved this flower very much.

She was even willing to give up a divine position in exchange for this.

Wangshu?

No wonder I always felt the moonlight here was exceptionally bright. I guess it was because Wang Shu could always sense that there were her favorite objects here, but she couldn't enter without his permission.

"This is truly a wonderful gift they left me with right at the very end."

"However, I will not give you away to anyone."

He withdrew his gaze from the two flowers and turned to the three flowers that were still alive, or rather, the firefly larvae were still alive.

【Name】：Firework Moon Welcoming Flower

Mood: Calm
[Status]: A flower formed by fusing Moonfire and Flint, with Flint Crystal Insects as its main body. It is making a difficult choice, trying to find a balance between Flint and Moonfire.

If balance cannot be achieved, it will die.

The estimated time of death is ten hours.

In Li Ye's eyes, the golden-red flower was filled with wisps of moonlight, and the Silver Moon Grass and its surroundings were infused with some very special spiritual energy.

Only the flint crystal insect, whose body is buried underground, emits a flint fire that is out of place with its surroundings. This flint fire remains bright and warm even in the cold and moonlight.

Within the spiritual power of that flint... there had already been added a trace of the eternal color of the golden elixir, like the radiant sun.

This scene caused Li Ye's expression to change slightly, and then he suddenly realized:
"I had completely forgotten."

"This flint crystal worm has always lived under the cover of ice and snow and moonlight, and the flint fire in its body is constantly being tempered."

"It actually wants to form a demon core, the demon core of the Flintfire Seed!"

The Fire Crystal Insect once had too much internal fire, so it needed to bond and coexist with the Silver Moon Grass. But in the past ten years or so, the fire in its body has shown no signs of extinguishing.

Logically speaking, it was just a small spark that should have gone to a warm place to replenish itself long ago, but unexpectedly, this guy had the idea of ​​using the environment and Silver Moon Grass to temper his own spark.

This left Li Ye somewhat speechless.

More than ten years! It has endured like this for more than ten years, and the key is that Li Ye has not seen through it. This ability to endure will make it successful no matter what it does.

Once the symptoms were identified, Li Ye had a solution.

He sat cross-legged in the snow and took out his love song, playing it gently.

The willow-branch-shaped celestial aura connected the Silver Moon Grass and the Flint Crystal Insect with the plum leaf as the node, and the pure and powerful life force poured into their bodies like a surging celestial river.

The beaver, who had been anxiously pacing around, immediately took out the Lotus Lantern.

The celestial music and the merciful firelight intertwined, creating an extremely beautiful scene on the snow-covered ground, even eclipsing the moonlight in the sky.

Li Ye looked down at the beaver, who winked at him and proudly puffed out its chubby chest, finally bringing a smile to Li Ye's face.

The current situation of the Flint Crystal Insect is that its own power is insufficient to make it choose "I want them all", but with Li Ye's help, it can naturally make it choose "I want them all".

The moment the life force was injected, the Fire Crystal Insects, which had been dormant to replenish their spiritual energy, immediately awoke.

Without a word, they immediately spat out a golden-red spark, which rolled around in the lunar energy released by the Silver Moon Grass.

The embers gradually became covered in silvery dust.

The countless flint crystal insects around them, as well as the silver moon grass that Li Ye had carefully selected and transplanted over this period, all began to glow, with golden-red and silver light enveloping the fire.

Li Ye originally thought this state would continue for some time.

But what he didn't expect was.

Just a short while later, Li Ye sensed dark tribulation clouds gathering in the sky. The three merged tribulation clouds were clearly staring at the three flint crystal insects.

The Demon Core Calamity.

So quickly, he's about to undergo tribulation!

As long as they can survive the calamity, they will be able to condense their own demon core. Although it is not equivalent to the Golden Core stage of the human race, it is still a half-body that is firmly in the Golden Core.

After condensing their demon cores, they only need some time to successfully transform into human form and reach the Golden Core stage.

What Li Ye didn't expect was that the Silver Moon Grass also transmitted a consciousness, and from the flowing moonlight around it, a pill with a silver interior and a golden-red exterior emerged.

The demon cores of Silver Moon Grass and Flint Crystal Insects are exactly opposite. Yet, they are intimately connected.

Surrounded by the flames of the Lotus Lantern, the celestial light of the Love Song, and the spiritual power of countless Firefly Crystal Insects and Silver Moon Grass, they shot straight into the clouds.

Suddenly, flint and moonlight burst forth from the dark clouds, giving off an extremely violent feeling, even though they were usually harmless.

It seems to have attracted the attention of some conscious individuals as well.

Two consciousnesses emerged one after the other from the Jade Wall of the Four Seasons.

First, there was Wang Shu's gentle, water-like voice:
"They are my family members. How could you not inform me of such an important event as their tribulation? Let me in, and I will help them overcome their tribulation!"

Just as Wang Shu's voice faded, another spirited male voice, brimming with fiery passion, rang out:
"Mountain Spirit, Lady Xiang..."

"I want to recruit flint crickets as my family."

"Once you learn the chapter on Dongjun from the Nine Songs, they will still be your subordinates."

Both deities were eager to act.

It seemed as if being a moment too late would mean missing out on countless wonderful things.

Such proactive recruitment, even to the point of being impatient, would be a great thing for anyone else, but Li Ye hesitated.

wrong.

There was no hesitation.

He replied directly, “You two, I promised them that they would be free forever. I know it is a good thing for them to become your family, but I still hope that they can choose for themselves now.”

Master Wangshu, can you withdraw your favor?

I will help them survive their tribulation.

He wanted to use this tribulation to free the Fire Crystal Insects and Silver Moon Grass. Wang Shu's favor was indeed very useful, but he was afraid it would affect their path to godhood in the future.

At least Li Ye felt that the path of immortality was more carefree and unrestrained.

This answer was clearly unexpected by the two deities. They were slightly taken aback, especially Wang Shu, whose disappointment was barely concealed.

"You little guy."

She said helplessly, "You know perfectly well that I will never take back what I gave you, yet you still say such things."

But I will not do as you wish.

As long as I am here, under the moonlight that Wang Shu controls, these silver moon grasses will still receive my favor.

No price needs to be paid.

After her voice faded into the moonlight, Dongjun's voice rang out: "That's enough."

"Since you have already made your own plans, that is the best outcome."

“However, since Ancestor Wangshu has bestowed blessings, I cannot fall behind. You should first familiarize yourself with the power of Dongjun.”

"You'll feel more relaxed and at ease when you're able to study."

A wisp of fire shot out from the Four Seasons Jade Wall.

It landed in Li Ye's palm in an instant.

Li Ye didn't look at it immediately; all his attention was focused on the Flint Crystal Insect and Silver Moon Grass, which were undergoing tribulation.

Actually, the intensity of this lightning tribulation is quite high.

After all, these guys have too much external help. Heaven isn't stupid. If so many external forces aren't punished, wouldn't the number of cultivators undergoing tribulation just keep increasing?

Even through the glass bracelet, Li Ye could feel the wrath of the heavenly tribulation, and a touch of... helplessness.

It seemed to be asking, "Why is it you again? How many times has Li Ye interfered with the Heavenly Tribulation?"

To this, Li Ye could only say that the more the merrier in the future, and pretend he hadn't noticed.

As long as I don't wrong myself, I believe that with all the good deeds I've done, Heaven won't blame me.

Those who are favored are always confident.

Time passed slowly like this.

When the heavenly tribulation finally ceased.

The snow on the ground was already ablaze with flint, and the golden-red flames, along with the dancing silver flames and petals, seemed to have a sense of self, leaping and running freely.

Flint crystal insects and silver moon grass could be vaguely seen moving with the wind.

At this moment, they were no longer bound by their insect or plant forms. The flames stirred up the wind and light, carrying their demon cores and souls as they ran wildly.

They were clearly in a good mood, and even gently brushed against Li Ye's cheek, the cool and hot touch making him feel gratified.

"Is this what freedom is?"

"So this flower..."

Li Ye looked down at the flower, which was half silver-white and half golden-red.

The flint cricket beneath the flower had gone off for a stroll with the silver moon grass. It had no roots at all and was just sticking straight up in the snow, yet it miraculously possessed an extremely abundant vitality.

From it, ripples spread outwards in concentric circles.

It was clearly this that made the flint burn on the snow.

【Name】：Wind, Light, Fire, Moon, Flower

【Feeling】:?

[Status]: A magical flower formed by the metamorphosis of the Flint Crystal Insect and the Silver Moon Grass. It will gradually produce Flint Fire Seeds and Moon Guardian Spirit Fire Seeds, and gradually transform the surrounding environment.

As long as there is enough "fuel" and "moonlight", it can continuously produce and transform energy.

The current estimated production time is two coins per year.

"It can produce fire."

"not bad."

Li Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the Silver Moon Grass and the Flint Crystal Insect form their demon cores, their lifespans will become very long, even longer than his current lifespan, and he will no longer have to worry about parting.

It was only at this moment that he had the mind to look down.

The gift Dongjun gave him has always been in his possession.

That was a...

Peach branches.

To be precise, it is a peach branch burning with the fire of the sun.

Within its burning shadow, one can see a scene completely different from the mortal world—a mountain range shrouded in eternal mist, and atop the mountain, a gigantic peach tree that seems to blot out the sky.

Two deities were gazing at him from beneath the tree.

Two plump, illusory firefly worms were held in the palm of one of them.

"Um!?"

Li Ye instantly knew where he was.

Dushushan!
Although most of the souls of the two Firefly Crystal Insects merged into the small world of this cave, a trace of their true spirit still went to Dusu Mountain.

Dongjun said it was his duty.

Does "Nine Songs: Lord of the East" involve matters of life and death?
Could I possibly go to Dusu Mountain and retrieve the two Flint Crystal Insects?

That's really...

Great.

Li Ye silently clenched his fist, then turned and left.

I'll probably need some help to get to Dusu Mountain, but hopefully my newly developed Dangkang Flower Ginseng Pig can secure that opportunity.
