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

Chapter 249 Ten Years of Unexpected Twice, the Offspring of a Fox and a Human

unexpected.

After the second senior brother told Li Ye these secrets, he directly stated:
"Your involvement is not necessary in this matter."

"Junior brother."

"Come back after you reach the Nascent Soul stage. Hurry up and leave, for time waits for no one."

This surprised Li Ye, who was already thinking about how he could contribute to the effort.

But under the complicated gaze of the second senior brother.

He could only nod and say, "Okay."

Then, he slowly turned and left, and as he left, he could feel a bronze halo spreading around him.

This is……

The power of the Jianmu tree, or rather the power of the bronze tree of the Heavenly Vein Sword Mountain, is far stronger than the meager amount he absorbed.

Li Ye did not linger.

The bronze-colored light, like morning mist, circled his body and drifted away.

Gradually, bronze-colored walls were built.

It was at this moment that Li Ye suddenly realized... that his second senior brother seemed to be mainly cultivating body-refining techniques.

He looked back, only to see that the bronze walls had already isolated the entire cave.

The power of time has divided everything.

"Why suddenly..."

Li Ye was a little confused. Was it because he knew that cultivators who had tempered their bodies with the Heavenly Vein were one of the materials for cultivating the Five-Colored Flower?

So, the second senior brother is going to give it a try?

But isn't my second senior brother only at the Golden Core stage?

Standing before the bronze wall, he waited for a while, hoping that his master or other elders in the sect could help him find the answers.

However, no one came after waiting for a long time.

He could only sigh and return to his cave.

Upon returning to his cave, he was astonished to discover that although he had only been gone for the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, ten years had passed in the outside world!
The Spirit Vine had already returned from outside, and it was very puzzled: "Where did you go? Why did you take so long?"

"..." After a brief hesitation, Li Ye shook his head.

"fine."

This is really too strange.

However, Li Ye already had some guesses—that the cave was probably the Jianmu Cave Heaven that his master had mentioned, where time flowed differently from the outside world.

Since his second senior brother had made it clear that he could only participate once he reached the Nascent Soul stage, he quickly put the matter out of his mind.

Thinking too much about things that are beyond one's control will only waste his energy.

Lying on the recliner, he asked Lingji Teng, "Has anything happened during this time?"

"Uh……"

Lingji Teng was unusually stunned for a moment.

Then he replied, "There are quite a few things to do, let me tell you slowly."

Then, it recounted what had happened during the ten years that Li Ye had abruptly disappeared.

First, there's Zhao He's side.

After the Worry-Free Refining Spirit Garden was put into use, it produced a continuous stream of magical artifacts and spiritual weapons, although they were only for use in the refining and foundation building stages.

However, due to its excellent production quality, it sold extremely well.

Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the chamber of commerce's foundation and the cultivation level of its members, even with Li Ye as its backer, the Lingye Chamber of Commerce has reached a bottleneck in its development.

The income that Li Ye could bring in each month was only a mere three million spirit stones.

It sounds like a lot, but if you're buying fourth-tier spirit veins, you can only buy three.

Moreover, this was with the help of Li Ye's senior brothers and sisters, and his cave dwelling was able to produce materials continuously; otherwise, it would have been difficult to earn so much.

After all, there are so many merchants and forces in the Four Seasons Sect. If the Lingye Merchant Guild takes a bigger bite, others will take a smaller bite.

"That is to say."

"The fighting has already begun."

Li Ye wasn't surprised by this. Even though he was quite famous, everyone has to make a living.

Fortunately, the Four Seasons Sect is very strict in this regard, so there is no situation where local forces use inferior products to drive out superior ones. As long as the quality they provide is good, cultivators will buy them on their own initiative.

Even if he's stealing other people's food, it doesn't matter.

As for what methods someone used to trip him up?

As long as the magical artifacts he produces are of good quality, no one will dare to do this. In the cultivation world, if there's a disagreement, they'll really come knocking on your door.

Besides, in the territory of the Four Seasons Sect, who could, who would dare to bully a spirit plant master who can be called a genius?

At most, it's just a matter of price reductions and increases, and competing on quality.

So after Li Ye nodded to indicate that he understood, Lingji Teng continued:

"And another thing is that the sect brought over the papermaking technique."

"If you have time, please take a look."

Oh?
Li Ye became truly interested upon hearing this, and immediately had Lingji Teng bring over the purple-gold jade slip, which he then pressed against his brow to examine word by word.

The more I looked at his expression, the stranger it seemed.

Finally, he removed the jade slip and said thoughtfully, "Is there really so much to learn about papermaking?"

Papermaking is something that every sect can do.

Ordinary paper cannot withstand the infusion of spiritual power; if not handled carefully, it will turn to ashes under the influence of spiritual power.

The papermaking technique in the cultivation world not only needs to consider the texture, toughness, and durability of the paper, but also needs to ensure that it can bear and stably transmit spiritual energy, so that the words or talismans written on it can be preserved for a long time without losing their effectiveness.

Take papermaking as an example.

The selection of spiritual plants, the water source, and the formation are all described in great detail, and the procedures must be strictly followed.

The proportions of some of the ingredients in the elixir were extremely complicated.

Even Li Ye felt a headache after seeing it.

This is something that an individual simply cannot produce. Without the powerful coordination and financial support of a sect, papermaking would be nothing but a joke.

"This is a huge undertaking."

"Let's talk about it later."

He felt a rare headache.

The jade slip was carefully placed away.

Lingji Teng immediately went on to report on the events of the past ten years, such as the output of the cave, the quantity of various spiritual materials, and the total number of spirit stones earned each month...

If no one helps Li Ye handle these tedious matters, he doesn't know how much energy he would have to expend on his own.

Li Ye listened while closing his eyes to rest.

Now, every month, from various sources—the sect's dividends, Yuan Yan's cave dwelling, the merchant guild, the demon race, and all sorts of side income—he can actually earn 20 million spirit stones.

Twenty million a month!

The majority of the profits came from the sect's grants, and from the profits he received after selling and processing the various spiritual plants and beasts he researched and cultivated.

If Li Ye were just an ordinary Golden Core cultivator, he could live off dividends for the rest of his life.

Unfortunately, he was not an ordinary cultivator.

He has accumulated a considerable amount of spirit stones over the past ten years, but if he wants to upgrade his cave dwelling, those billions of spirit stones would probably be just enough.

Not to mention that he also needs to purchase many valuable spirit beasts and plants for cultivation and symbiosis.

There are also the Jianmu World and the Lesser Thousand Worlds to be supported.

Thinking of this, Li Ye stood up and gave instructions:

"According to my previous plan, let's start purchasing spirit veins and all sorts of mineral veins."

"I want to upgrade my cave dwelling."

"It's a good opportunity to practice, since I promised Senior Sister Canling that I would help her make that Soul Locking Prison."

Lingji Teng had already made preparations.

"Okay." "Where are you going?"

During the ten years that its master had mysteriously disappeared, it couldn't even sense Li Ye's presence, and its heart was filled with immense worry.

Right now, she wished she could cling to Li Ye and eat and sleep with him.

"I'm going to pick someone up."

"I originally thought I could talk about it after I came back from Dusu Mountain, but now it seems I have to go."

Li Ye waved his hand and unfurled a scroll.

Slowly stepping inside.

As soon as they entered, they heard cheerful laughter—

"Fox Girl is truly knowledgeable."

"Let me offer you a toast!"

The sound gave Li Ye a bad feeling. He scanned the area with his divine sense and saw a scene that made him feel somewhat dazed.

The fully grown cultivator surnamed Wen was holding a wine cup, gazing at the elegant white fox with an adoring expression.

The white fox's face already showed signs of intoxication, and an undeniable, alluring charm.

"Brother Wen..."

It picked up the cup with its paw and drank it all in one gulp, then gazed deeply at Wen Daoyou, seemingly oblivious to everything around it.

The black cat, on the other hand, was being pressed down by the white fox's tail. It seemed to have gotten used to it and didn't even try to struggle. In fact, it found the white fox's tail quite comfortable.

Through the panel, Li Ye could see that this "fellow scholar" was in a state of "admiration".

In other words, he did not misread it.

Wen Daoyou has truly fallen in love with this white fox!
"..."

Even Li Ye was momentarily dazed and speechless.

No.

Is there really a future for you two?

and many more……

While he was in a daze, he suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that inside the white fox's tail, there were several small foxes with pure white fur, but with dark gold halos at the ends of their fur.

They nestled quietly in their mother's tail, sleeping soundly.

【Name】：Golden Ink Painting Fox
[Mood]: Happy, joyful, sound asleep

[Status]: A spirit beast born from the complete fusion of body and soul between the painted fox and the ink-and-gold sand body, capable of switching between fox and human form at any time.

"..."

Li Ye then rubbed his temples vigorously with a complicated expression.

This is how to do.

Should I tell Wei Qingye that the person he asked me to take care of had given birth to a litter of foxes with his spirit beast?
Sword cultivators probably wouldn't accept this kind of relationship, since they're all old-fashioned.

He was unable to calm himself down because his mind was in a state of confusion.

The spiritual energy emanating from the body surface naturally attracted the attention of the human, fox, and black cat present.

The wine glass in the white fox's hand fell to the ground with a "crack" and shattered into pieces.

It stood up trembling, its peach blossom eyes filled with fear, even the despair of impending death.

"host……"

"Owner."

It clearly knew it had done something wrong, but it didn't regret it at all. After being locked up here for so long, Brother Wen had given it the affection it craved most.

It even gave birth to a litter of fox cubs.

It felt that its long fox life had come to a perfect end.

If Li Ye blames it, even if it has to endure imprisonment for thousands of years, it will definitely ask its merciful master to release Wen Ge and the child!
Upon noticing Li Ye's arrival, Wen Daoyou was initially delighted, but then, as if remembering something, he stood in front of the white fox and bowed deeply to Li Ye.

Serious expression:

"Fellow."

"I've fallen for the fox girl."

"It all started because of me, so punish me if you must!"

Before Li Ye could speak...

The little foxes that were sleeping were also startled awake. They stood up one by one, transformed into the appearance of three or four-year-old children, and fearfully clung to their mother's tail.

The whole family was gathered together, looking rather pitiful.

Only the black cat was chuckling to itself—this guy was really in for a rough time.

Anyone who didn't know the situation would think that Li Ye was some kind of thug bullying someone.

Li Ye, who was already speechless, was now even more speechless.

Do I look like some kind of difficult bully?

He sighed deeply: "White Fox, you are my spirit beast, and Fellow Daoist Wen, you are my friend's fellow disciple. How could I possibly punish you?"
Tell me, what exactly happened?

The white fox and Fellow Daoist Wen exchanged a glance.

It was fellow Daoist Wen who spoke first: "When I was developing my physical body, I already discovered that I had fallen in love with the fox girl."

After the baby successfully emerged from the coffin, and since my fellow Daoist had not yet appeared, we fell in love and had a child.

His eyes were full of love when he said that.

Looking at the white fox, a sour, foul smell seemed to waft out.

"..."

What's the difference between saying nothing and saying nothing at all? How can you be so concise?

Li Ye felt utterly powerless.

Well, this is not something he can handle alone. Let's ask Wei Qingye to do it.

……

Half an hour later.

Wei Qingye, whose aura had become even more restrained than before, rushed over and, upon seeing this scene, his expression of surprise froze on his face.

He couldn't help but turn around and glance at Li Ye, who was drinking tea, his eyes full of questions.

"As you can see, they fell in love and had a child." Li Ye was already quite calm, after all, he had seen gourd and turtle, dragon and potato have children before.

Now that things have come to this, it's up to Wei Qingye to say something; in any case, he doesn't care anymore.

After he finished speaking, he slowly took a sip of tea.

Wei Qingye: "..."

He took a deep breath.

Suppress the indescribable anger in my heart.

"Brother, you..."

As a qualified sword cultivator, he has been slaying demons in the Southern Region since he was a child.

Of course, I wanted to say that humans and demons are different, but now that I think about it carefully, it's another matter whether my senior brother can still be considered human.

So he got stuck after saying just the first sentence.

On the contrary, when Wen Daoyou saw his junior brother arrive, he calmed down. He held his child and smiled at Wei Qingye.

"Junior brother, I'm very happy."

"Look, this is my child."

The child looked at Wei Qingye, and although he was still a little scared, he obediently called him Uncle Wei.

Coupled with the beauty of the painted fox, she is soft and fluffy, like an ice sculpture, and very cute.

Once those words were spoken, there was nothing more to say.

Even if Wei Qingye had many thoughts, it didn't matter as long as his senior brother was happy—after all, it was he who insisted on not letting his senior brother reincarnate, and he did feel guilty towards his senior brother.

He was still somewhat dazed.

How exactly did my senior brother give birth?
