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

Chapter 284 Let's still seek refuge with Li Ye.

Mo Qi was somewhat stunned.

How long has it been since she last saw Lord Wangshu's flawless moon seed?

Hundreds of years?
Or...more than two thousand years ago?
It seems that more than a thousand years before her birth, Lord Wangshu had not taken out any more flawless moon seeds.

Those treasures were made by the founder of the Four Seasons Sect with the help of the Moon Goddess Wangshu. Only forty-nine were made in total, all of which were rare and precious materials made from the spiritual objects left behind after the creation of the world and the shaping of the sun and moon.

For fun, the patriarch even imbued this thing with the characteristics of a spiritual plant.

If you plant it, the moon will really grow.

Even she was speechless.

The other merfolk gaped wide-eyed—they were, after all, Nascent Soul cultivators or Golden Core cultivators of their respective tribes, yet at this moment they were like children seeing a treasure, utterly devoid of any decorum.

Upon seeing this, a hint of doubt flashed through Li Ye's mind.

When the Moon Goddess Wangshu gave this thing, it didn't seem to be very solemn, but it looks like this thing is not simple.

He was puzzled, but he didn't show it on his face.

He still wore a gentle, jade-like smile as he spoke to Yang Ke:
“I told you before that since we are friends, you can of course ask me for help—regardless of whether the matter is difficult or easy.”

Now, I will fulfill my promise and help you break free from the Moon Soul Curse.

He winked and teased, "You once said you'd take me to your sister's fishing grounds to steal fish. Now that your magic has returned, how about we sneak in together?"

Today, he understands Yang Ke's mindset back then. Since his transmigration, everything had gone smoothly for him, and he was indeed a bit arrogant. Looking back, he realized that he had sometimes been too serious.

The surrounding merfolk Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators: "..."

Especially Yang Ke's older sister, after a brief silence, had a sudden thought. Although she didn't want to scheme against her brother's friendship, if Li Ye really wanted to spend more time with her brother...

That would certainly be beneficial to her brother's future.

In this situation, keeping quiet is the best course of action.

Yang Ke was stunned on the spot.

He blinked, looked at Li Ye sitting at the head of the table, exhaled a breath of stale air, cupped his hands and said, "I was indeed wrong."

"At that time, I was suffering from the Moon Soul Curse, and I tried everything to stop it, but to no avail. I then contemplated suicide, only thinking of leaving some more treasures for the tribe. I felt I could not repay Brother Li's friendship, so I said some foolish things."

"Looking back now, even though one of the four nines of the Great Dao has been lost, there is still a glimmer of hope."

He straightened up and bowed again, his expression quite serious: "Thank you, Brother Li, for not holding a grudge. Otherwise, I would have been foolish enough to miss this chance for survival."

—Tongqingqu could tell that he was speaking from the heart, and that it wasn't just an excuse he came up with on the spot.

"There's no need for such formalities."

Li Ye waved his hand, then respectfully said to his master's wife, "Then I will help Brother Yang resolve the Moon Soul Fear Curse first, and I will trouble you to stay here for a while longer."

"I'll have my spirit beast bring you some spiritual food in a little while, so you and all the fellow cultivators can have a taste."

Master Mo Qi waved his hand with a kind expression: "Go on, go on, your mistress is here."

She watched as Li Ye led Yang Ke to the back hall, her kind expression vanishing instantly, replaced by a cold glance at the merfolk below.

He said bluntly, "Gentlemen, it's one thing that Yang Ke is close to my disciple, but you can't just shamelessly ask someone to lift the Moon Soul Curse without giving anything in return, can you?"

The merfolk looked at each other in bewilderment.

Then they quickly presented the "thank you gift" they had prepared.

The Eastern Yang Sea is teeming with life and is rich in natural resources. To remove the Moon Soul Curse from their descendants, the Nascent Soul cultivators have spared no expense.

None of the treasures they brought out were below the fifth rank.

Abyss Sea Pearls, fifth-order sea spirit veins, ten-thousand-year-old Azure Sea Spirit Coral Worms, dragon blood, fragments of Yanghai Ruomu...

Anyway, it has everything.

The dazzling light seemed to penetrate the walls of the welcoming hall, shooting up and illuminating all directions.

The merfolk were also afraid that Mo Qi would be dissatisfied:

"Sister Mo, please, you must let your disciple save my granddaughter!"

"This is just a small token of my respect. If Master Lingye is willing to save my child, I will send you a much more generous gift in the future!"

"If True Person Lingye is willing, you can take these for now. When you come to the Eastern Yang Sea for sightseeing, you can visit my tribe's treasure vault and take whatever you like."

Some people might abandon their relatives and offspring because of their attachment to wealth, but the Merfolk are different. Their tribal inheritance system makes their kinship ties extremely close.

The Golden Core and Nascent Soul merfolk who come here are willing to give up their savings accumulated over thousands of years in exchange for a bright future for their descendants.

It should be understood that if a capable junior could emerge, it would be a huge boost to their entire tribe, not to mention the possibility of establishing a connection with Li Ye.

As for Mo Qi, after carefully examining the gifts brought by the merfolk, he nodded: "Originally, your offspring were to be tormented by the Moon Soul Curse."

Now that my disciple has lifted the curse on you, the future is uncertain, and he will interfere with your karma.

I won't beat around the bush; most of you are my juniors, people I've watched grow up.

If you ever use your cultivation to do evil and commit wicked deeds in the future, then I will personally take action to clean up your sect. No matter what, I cannot ruin my disciple's fortune.

Do you know?

In fact, most of the merfolk who are able to come here have left their mark on the ginkgo leaves of the Heavenly Year Hall of the Four Seasons Sect. They are already connected with the destiny of the Four Seasons Sect. Logically speaking, it is not possible for them to affect their own destiny by helping their fellow disciples.

But Mo Qi still wanted to lay out the unpleasant truth upfront.

The merfolk naturally understood what this meant, and those young merfolk, who were considered the "pride" of their respective tribes, swore an oath to the moon goddess.

Just as they were making this vow.

From the back hall.

Li Ye and Yang Ke walked out one after the other.

Everyone turned their attention to Yang Ke, and then they discovered that he was radiating spiritual energy that was close to that of a Golden Core cultivator. Moreover, he no longer had the dejected look he had before; he was full of vigor and high spirits.

"!!!"

"Has the Moon Soul Curse really been lifted?"

"By the moon goddess."

The facts were right in front of them, and they were all surprised, their eyes filled with excitement, as if they wanted to rush up and hug Li Ye's leg.

As long as it allows them to continue on the path of cultivation, there's nothing shameful about it.

Moreover, the merfolk.

However, there has always been a tradition of seeking out the strong to rely on.

Li Ye was also very happy.

Although lifting the Moon Soul Terror Curse once can only replenish a tiny fraction of the Leak-Free Moon Seed, which can be said to be one-thousandth of the spiritual power.

But little by little it adds up.

Moreover, when the Moon Soul Curse is lifted, the overflowing moon power can be converted into one's own Silver Moon Grass, obtaining a considerable amount of Moon Liquid Beads, which is truly a win-win situation.

The thought of the treasure he was about to obtain filled him with excitement, but unfortunately, his spiritual power was not inexhaustible.

So he said helplessly:
"I don't have much spiritual power. I can only remove the Moon Soul Terror Curse from a maximum of nine people in a row. Excluding Yang Ke, there are eight people left." "After that, I will need to rest for three months before I can remove it a second time."

As soon as these words came out.

The mermaids could no longer sit still.

If there were no hope, they could endure it, but now that they have seen that the problem can really be solved, they feel uncomfortable if it is not solved for even a moment.

The sooner the problem can be resolved, the sooner cultivation can resume.

But they didn't dare to speak loudly.

They could only look longingly at Li Ye, then at Mo Qi, their eyes overflowing with pleading.

Mo Qi, however, was unwilling to speak up for them.

Being able to lift the Moon Soul Curse is already a stroke of luck. How many exceptionally talented people have had to waste their lives because of the Moon Soul Curse? You can't even wait for this little bit of time?

Besides, she didn't want to tire out such an obedient disciple.

but.

Li Ye considered that these people were, after all, his master's wife's relatives, even though his power was insufficient to remove the Moon Soul Terror Curse in one go.

But relief is still achievable.

"I have a plan, but I need one of you to provide a moonlit island, preferably with at least five fifth-order spiritual veins..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Yang Ke's father immediately replied, "Yes, yes, yes!"

This robust merman Nascent Soul cultivator silenced the others who wanted to speak with a deafening roar, a radiant smile on his face:
"This island was originally a gift I gave to my son as a Golden Core, and now it's just the right time. Ke'er, why don't you take Master Lingye to take a look?"

Yang Ke wasn't stupid. After seeing Li Ye nod at him, he quickly asked Mo Qi Zhenren, "Grandma, please undo the Four Seasons Space-Time Array here."

—The Four Seasons Sect's reception hall has a ready-made Four Seasons Space-Time Array that can connect to any place in the Eastern Region. As long as permission is granted, the space array can be activated instantly to reach any corner.

"can."

Mo Qi also wanted to see what Li Ye was up to, so he simply waved his hand.

A beam of light enveloped the seashell in Yang Ke's hand, and soon a huge portal flowing with seawater appeared in the hall.

Mo Qi and Li Ye went in first.

Then came the Yang family, followed by a vast array of Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators, and the merfolk who came to break the curse.

After passing through the portal.

They stood on a land of azure blue, surrounded by swirling whirlwinds, but the island beneath their feet was a wondrous place, calm as a mirror at the center of the whirlpools.

The moonlight poured down on the island, and the rich spiritual energy had condensed into mist and droplets of spiritual water. If any mortal came here and even just took a few breaths, they could live to be a hundred years old, free from illness and disaster.

Upon closer inspection, the land here seems to be a mixture of moonlight and sea breeze, and deeper in there are traces of coral that are as smooth and warm as jade—clearly, it was built by the Azure Sea Coral Worm.

The Nascent Soul cultivators who were acquainted with Yang Ke's father were quite surprised:

"Isn't this Haiyao Island?"

"You old codger, you're actually willing to give this island to your son?"

“If my son could have such a good relationship with Master Lingye, I would be willing to give him the most important territory of the tribe.”

These islands, built by the Azure Sea Spirit Coral Worms, are the ancestral lands of every tribe. They were cultivated by the merfolk ancestors who first came to the Eastern Yang Sea. If a descendant of a tribe obtains this land, the position of tribe leader is basically guaranteed.

Yang Ke hadn't expected his father to give this place to him so directly—when he lost his cultivation, although his father still treated him well as always, the position of clan leader was absolutely out of the question.

Some shallow-minded "brothers and sisters" came to him to show off.

But now the tables have turned, and Haiyao Island actually belongs to him. I wonder what kind of expression his "good brothers and sisters" will have when they see this?

All of this was given to him by Li Ye.

A bold idea popped into his head, but he didn't dare to make a decision yet. While Li Ye was inspecting the land, he approached his father.

She said softly, "Father, if I lead my people to seek refuge with True Person Lingye, will you agree?"

The Yangyao tribe, with its two Nascent Soul cultivators, dozens of Golden Core cultivators, and thousands of Foundation Establishment cultivators, is not a small force. It is rather strange that they would pledge allegiance to a mid-Golden Core cultivator.

However, he felt that cultivation level was not a constraint on Li Ye. If he did not join Li Ye before Li Ye began to expand his power, he might not have another chance in the future.

"..."

Yang Ke's father listened to what his son said, stared at Li Ye for a long time, and finally patted his son's head.

He spoke in an unprecedentedly gentle voice:
"Then go ahead."

"I have already chosen you as the clan leader. How the Yangyao tribe should develop is your business."

"It's a pity you're a boy, otherwise I would have swallowed my pride and begged my aunt for help..."

He never said the last sentence.

Because Mo Qi's extremely oppressive gaze was already fixed on them.

He immediately shut up.

He watched obediently as Li Ye used his spiritual power to draw on the ground and scatter some seeds.

With Li Ye's graceful movements.

The moonlight in the sky was transformed by the array patterns suspended in mid-air, and blue and white snowflakes began to fall.

Clumps of silver moon grass quickly grew on the ground.

Surrounding the central Silvermoon Grass like stars around the moon was a spirit plant that looked like a willow tree, yet was exceptionally beautiful and radiant with celestial light.

"Love song?"

Among those present were many knowledgeable individuals.

Especially for Mo Qi Zhenren, this was the first time she had ever seen the Tongqing Melody materialize into a spiritual plant.

"Exactly."

Li Ye had quickly set up the formation and looked at the merfolk, who were suffering from the Moon Soul Curse, with a subtle smile that seemed to suggest they were easy prey.

He began, “You can sit cross-legged near this tree of affection and reach out to grasp its branches, which can alleviate the pain caused by the Moon Soul Curse.”

I will randomly select the remaining eight people later to lift the curse.

The words fell.

The merfolk rushed toward Tongqing, sat down obediently, and grasped the branch of Tongqing. The branch guided the overflowing power of the Moon Soul Terror Curse, transforming it into snowflakes that drifted in the wind.

At first glance.

It's like empathy is creating snowflakes.

Snowflakes fluttered down onto the surrounding silver moon grass, where they were absorbed and transformed into even more moon liquid droplets that surged toward the sky.

The quantity is extremely large.

In an instant, snowflakes fluttered down, round silver moon beads surged toward the sky, and countless wisps of spiritual energy billowed, creating a breathtaking scene.
