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

Chapter 257 Scalding the Bottom of the Pot, Senior Brother Passes on the Technique
The cleanup work afterwards was incredibly fast.

Since the formation had been repaired, the Dongcang Market had already resumed normal business operations. Moreover, even if there were celestial changes such as lightning and thunder, it was not a big deal for cultivators who trusted the Four Seasons Sect.

During this time, they still had the leisure to find a place outside, set up a tea table, invite three or five friends to drink tea, chat, and discuss the changes in celestial phenomena.

In any case, the terrible weather was kept out of the formation, so they watched the lightning and thunder in absolute safety, which was quite interesting.

even……

After the formation was repaired, some cultivators sighed. There weren't many places like this where one could directly observe dramatic changes in the celestial phenomena. Many cultivators came here specifically after hearing messages from their friends.

The number of people in the market has increased.

When they arrived, they found it was over, which was quite disheartening.

But after wandering around Dongcang Market for a while, he felt that the place was not bad, so he decided to spend a huge amount of spirit stones to buy property and settle down here.

Instead, it attracted a surge of customers.

Among them were some old-school Golden Core cultivators and even rogue Nascent Soul cultivators, which brought both joy and pain to the Golden Core cultivators in charge of this matter.

The reconstruction of Dongcang Town proceeded even faster.

Before Li Ye sent him away, the townspeople of Dongcang Town all saw the strangely transformed Old Master Qiu. Thanks to the teachings of the Four Seasons Sect over thousands of years, they knew that he had been invaded by an "evil god".

That wasn't the real Old Master Qiu at all!

Therefore, they expressed their gratitude to Li Ye, who had suddenly transformed from a young boy in need of protection into a sage who had saved them from dire straits.

Then they threw themselves into the busy work of rebuilding their homes.

At this time, the bamboo forest, which had evolved into "Jade Bone Ten Thousand Submerged Bamboo and Wood Ants", provided tremendous help, and new and complete houses blessed by the Xiang River were quickly built.

This time, however, there was no longer a desire for immortality.

The house will take care of you, but it will also remain separate from the lives of the mortals who live in this house generation after generation, just as there is a barrier between gods and men, maintaining a just-right companionship.

Because Wen Daoyou joined the reconstruction efforts, he quickly built good relationships with the townspeople.

After building the house, he brought his "fox sister" and two children, and specially invited Li Ye and Wei Qingye to come and cook the pot together.

This is a custom in the southern region. After moving to a new home, people invite relatives and friends to a gathering. With the blessings and popularity of their relatives and friends, the house is believed to bring prosperity and warmth.

Li Ye takes this matter quite seriously.

He specially asked the beavers to build a large iron pot, and then he came with the large iron pot.

When Wen Daoyou's two children saw Li Ye carrying a large pot and slowly walking in, their toys fell to the ground—imagine Li Ye, dressed in an elegant Taoist robe, carrying a somewhat dark iron pot.

The scene was so vivid that it was almost unbearable to look at; one might think it was an illusion.

"Uncle Li..."

The bolder girl tried to take the iron pot. Although she looked like a child, she was a spirit born from the combination of Hua Hu and Shui Mo Jin Sha, so lifting an adult and swinging it around was no problem for her.

"This is a gift for you."

Li Ye casually handed the pot to her. He had some patience for the well-behaved child, who was also the child of his own spirit beast.

Perhaps it was Li Ye's gentle words and the particularly comfortable aura emanating from him that emboldened the little fox.

He turned the iron pot over and over to examine it.

Curious said:
"A gift? Uncle Li, what's so special about this iron pot?"

"ah!"

Suddenly, she noticed a pair of eyes on the iron pot. The eyes were curved like crescent moons, and although they were simple lines, they gave her a feeling that the iron pot was... very kind.

"It has a spirit."

"And all you have to do is put the ingredients in, and it will make the food itself, for example..."

Li Ye quickly took out several ingredients and threw them into the pot. The pot looked small, but suddenly gray bubbles surged inside, and the ingredients were processed in the bubbles.

Immediately afterwards, a lid grew out of the pot on its own.

A short while after the lid was put on, when it was opened again, there was a pot of pastries inside, emitting a sweet and cool aroma. Each piece was cut perfectly, and the fragrance of osmanthus could be faintly seen in the translucent pastries.

The pot swayed slightly.

It seemed to be urging the two children to try it quickly.

Before they could even reach for it, a hand with distinct knuckles reached out from the side, picked up a piece, chewed it briefly, and exclaimed in admiration:

"This osmanthus jelly is quite good."

"Brother Li, when will you send me a pot like this?"

"This way I won't have to carry any fasting pills or buy any food that I've kept in my storage ring for months without ever eating it."

Wei Qingye ate with great satisfaction and took another piece.

With his other hand, he took out two sword-shaped wooden carvings from his storage ring and handed them to the two children: "If you want to learn swordsmanship in the future, come and find me at Tianmai Sword Mountain."

Li Ye: “…”

What does this mean?
Are you trying to poach my employees right in front of me?
Although Li Ye was very angry, there was nothing he could do about it—it was Wei Qingye. If it were anyone else, he would definitely have said a few sarcastic remarks to their face.

However, if they really want to learn swordsmanship, that would be quite interesting.

Tianmai Sword Mountain does not reject outsiders.

However, the situation of foreign races in Tianmai Sword Mountain is far less easy than that of human races.

He shook his head, his face full of helplessness.

Just then, the fox spirit, who had changed into a simple cloth dress and put her hair up, came out of the house. At this moment, she had completely suppressed her fox spirit charm.

Instead, she exudes a gentle and virtuous temperament, like a loving wife and mother.

She seemed quite satisfied with it.

"Master, Senior Wei."

She was about to bow when Li Ye stopped her, saying, "From now on, you should call me elder brother too."

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across the fox girl's face, and she readily replied, "Yes, brother."

Not just anyone can call someone "elder brother".

“My husband and I are ready, please come in.”

With that, the fox spirit led the two into the mansion.

The mansion was not built in a luxurious way; on the contrary, it was quite simple. The interior contained only some handcrafted furniture, but each piece was exquisitely crafted.

You should know that Fellow Daoist Wen is a sword cultivator.

Even though he no longer needs to use a sword to fight, he still has a wonderful control over his strength. Every piece of furniture here was made by him using his sword as a carving knife.

Wei Qingye looked at the furniture.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

He seemed to want to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

He simply glanced at Wen Daoyou, who was busy bringing over plate after plate of dishes, and congratulated him, saying, "Brother Wen, moving to your new home is truly a joyous occasion."

"Haha."

"It's been so long, Brother Wei and Brother Li."

Wen Daoyou warmly invited the two to sit down.

But after they sat down, Li Ye suddenly said, "Why don't we bring another chair?" Hearing this, the others were slightly taken aback, as if they were deep in thought.

Fox Girl immediately went to fetch a chair.

then.

Li Ye pointed his finger lightly in that direction, and a figure dressed in a gray robe appeared and sat down in a chair.

The man was exceptionally handsome, but there was a shadow of gloom between his brows.

It was the incarnation of Senior Brother Li Ye.

As soon as he appeared, he cupped his hands to Fellow Daoist Wen and said with a smile, "Congratulations on moving to your new home. I have no gift to give you, so I can only give you a wisp of your children's spiritual light."

As he spoke, he pointed to the two children.

The spiritual light of the four seasons, formed by the fusion of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, transformed into spring rain, summer thunder, autumn wind, and winter snow, encircling them before slowly dissipating from their foreheads and brows.

The two children felt as if their minds had been swept clean by a force, and their consciousness became exceptionally clear, as if they had been reborn.

This is a unique method of refining the spirit used by the Four Seasons Sect.

If a child can use this method to cleanse their consciousness, it will greatly benefit their future cultivation. In particular, if a demon can be cleansed by this method, their true form will no longer be detected.

However, this method is extremely difficult to perform, and only those at the Nascent Soul stage can use the accumulated power of the four seasons to perform it. Li Ye had also tried to understand it, but even he was completely baffled.

"Thank you, Uncle!" The two children immediately stood up, clasped their hands in thanks, and expressed their gratitude.

"Thank you, senior!"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Mr. and Mrs. Wen Daoyou quickly expressed their gratitude.

"You're welcome."

The eldest brother's eyes softened, and then he looked at Wei Qingye: "Years ago, I sparred with your sect's Master Fei Xi and secretly learned one of her sword techniques."

I'm giving you this as compensation.

He pointed at Wei Qingye again.

This time, however, the autumn wind swirled around, like vines, winding around Wei Qingye's brow and transforming into a lustrous jade stone.

It looks as if Wei Qingye is wearing a forehead ornament.

At this moment, Wei Qingye felt as if his consciousness had been split into two parts. One part was sitting here, and the other part had entered a martial arts arena made of jade, where he was exchanging blows with a figure.

Both consciousnesses were so clear.

It won't affect his eating here at all.

It's as amazing as truly "doing two things at once".

That swordsmanship was exquisite.

It is the Heavenly Stream Flowing Light Sword Technique that Master Fei Xi, who has now advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, is skilled in.

If I can learn this sword technique, what does it matter if I get beaten up?
Wei Qingye was extremely excited and blurted out, "Thank you, senior—could you beat me a few more times? My path of cultivation is always accompanied by various trials and tribulations, so this little bit of pain is nothing."

Senior Brother: “…”

He gave a look that was hard to describe, and said with disdain, "Your trials are a blessing from heaven. Every time you get injured, you gain something or have a benefactor help you, right?"

The edge of a sword comes from sharpening.

I think it's not that you're unlucky; rather, it's that Heaven favors you so much that it has to test you like this.

These words startled Wei Qingye, who thought to himself that this person was truly perceptive, able to discern his fortune at a glance.

After speaking about Wei Qingye, the eldest brother finally looked at Li Ye sitting next to him, his smile becoming even gentler.

He said softly, "As for you, junior brother..."

His gaze lingered for a moment on the glass bracelet in Li Ye's hand: "Heaven favors you even more."

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been handed over to you like this.

You should have already learned the two spells of splitting sand to fill the sea and shaping mountains into water. These are the two supernatural powers of earth and water in the Five Elements.

I will teach you the remaining three supernatural powers as well.

With a gentle tap, the jade stone imprinted itself on Li Ye's forehead, continuously transmitting the three divine powers to him.

These are the other three spells conjured by the mind's vision.

These are melting wood into flames, clustering gold into forests, and burning water into a sea.

These three supernatural powers are interconnected with the previous two, forming a complete chain that corroborates each other, thus constituting the true method of mental image creation with all five elements complete.

Li Ye took a deep breath.

He clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you for passing on the Dharma, Senior Brother."

"Sigh." The eldest brother had already picked up his chopsticks and said calmly, "I don't have much to teach you. You can learn other supernatural abilities in the sect."

This is the only thing you cannot find in the sect.

After all, this supernatural power originally came from the compassionate Medicine King.

He picked up a piece of braised lion's head meatball with his chopsticks and said as he ate:
"As you've probably noticed, the Compassionate Medicine King doesn't seem to be from our Taoist sect; rather, he seems to be a great Buddhist master. That's certainly true."

His existence is very special; he is a projection of a powerful being from the upper realm. When our ancestor was about to create heaven and earth, he took the initiative to descend and provided much help.

Even in the very beginning, it was only through the spiritual plants and beasts that He nurtured that the needs of cultivators and mortals were sustained.

Later, because of His concept of giving whatever He wanted, many troubles were caused, but this cannot be blamed on Him. It is just that human nature is complicated, so our ancestor imprisoned Him in the sect.

However, someone still managed to exploit a loophole, leading to the disastrous consequence of the Hell Realm.

At this point, the eldest brother had finished the braised lion's head, picked up another piece of shredded meat, and slowly ate it inside the steamed bun.

What followed was even more astonishing: "After I mistakenly entered the Hell Path, I discovered... that the patriarch from six thousand years ago attempted to feed the Three Corpse Worms with the Jia Fruit, so that his own Three Corpses would manifest, in order to sever the Three Corpses."

But she failed and was imprisoned by the Three Corpses.

The Hell Path is now managed by her three corpses, who are trying every means to obliterate that predecessor's mind and completely control her body.

Once obliterated and her three corpses merged into one, she would be able to use the powerful spiritual energy accumulated over thousands of years in the Hell Path to break through the Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop.

These words were spoken.

Everyone present, including the two children, lost their appetite.

Especially the fox girl.

After hesitating for a long time, she suddenly walked to the side and knelt down before Li Ye: "Master, I would like to ask this senior if he knows where my old master is now?"

Li Ye glanced at her, actually quite curious herself, and then looked at her senior brother.

The eldest brother replied unhurriedly, "The original method of painting was to draw pigments from the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth because there weren't many pigments available."

To complete the Hell Transformation Diagram, which transforms into a miniature world, one must...

Naturally, it required his entire life essence and soul as fuel—that predecessor attained enlightenment through painting, died because of painting, and left no regrets.

At this moment, the eldest brother had finished eating the soft steamed bun and looked at Li Ye.

His expression was icy cold:
“I am one of the three corpses that your senior brother fed with the finest fruits. If you do not kill me, I will surely turn against him in the future.”

"And what will you do with me then?"
