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

Chapter 305 The Multitalented Fox Clan
Senior Hu Taotao is quite fast.

Upon seeing the strange Wishing Silkworm and the brand-new Blessing Sprout, she immediately sent a message, and soon after, a stream of pink light emerged from a portal...

A group of foxes.

Although they are all Qingqiu foxes, their fur colors vary—the most common are white, pink, and crimson, and some are even multicolored.

When the most "vibrant" fox stood up, crossed its paws, and looked around curiously, Li Ye felt that this guy was somewhat like a good-for-nothing playboy who wandered around aimlessly.

Even Master Mo Qi, who was sitting at the head of the table, glanced at it again.

This caused Hu Tao Tao Zhenren, who had been smiling, to turn cold and angrily rebuke: "You're dyeing your skin again. Do you like being so unconventional? Why don't you ask Ling Shan Ge for some spices to marinate and flavor your food regularly?"

Once I have a free hand, I'll skin you alive, stew you, and eat you!
"It would also be good to taste if your flavor is also complete with all five flavors."

It's obvious that this colorful fox has done this before, otherwise it wouldn't have angered the dignified Qingqiu Fox Nascent Soul cultivator so much.

But in the face of Hu Taotao's angry rebuke, the fox transformed into a tall, somewhat thin, but extremely handsome young man.

His colorful hair was so dazzling that it overshadowed the rather handsome appearance of the Qingqiu Fox.

"Great-grandmother."

The boy grinned and said, "Don't be angry. I was just researching dyes and accidentally used my own fur for the experiment."

He even took out a bottle of dye.

Li Ye, who had been sitting and watching the show, sensed the spiritual energy emanating from the dye and suddenly spoke up:

"I wonder what materials this dye is made of."

Li Ye's sudden question made Hu Taotao, who was about to reprimand him a few more times, stop what she was doing, her eyes full of doubt.

Could there be something special about this kid's dye?
If it were truly effective, she wouldn't have reprimanded the other person like that.

Upon hearing this, the young man, a cultivator named Hu Feng, glanced at Li Ye and replied very solemnly:

"This item is made by mixing the water of Weichuan River with the silkworm silk purchased from Master Li, and adding the glow of the sunset."

really.

Li Ye suddenly realized something.

He said he felt a familiar spiritual energy within it.

and.

The fusion of spiritual energy was just right, and most importantly, the power contained within the colors was not submerged. This skill in color mixing is truly remarkable.

Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise. If this fellow Daoist can help me with my work, then I might be able to fulfill one of my previous plans.
He stared at Hu Feng for a moment.

Then he cupped his hands in greeting to Master Hu Taotao, who was seated at the head of the table, and said:
"senior."

"I see that Fellow Daoist Hu Feng has quite a talent for the art of mixing spiritual energy. I happen to have an idea that I'd like to pass on to Fellow Daoist Hu Feng..."

As he spoke, he revealed one of his earlier ideas.

That idea came to me after I witnessed some magical powers at the Bitter Journey Academy—simply put, it was about making scrolls and robes from silk through dyeing and embroidery.

The scroll is naturally modeled after the world depicted in the Huai Ling Scroll, while the robe is arguably the best-selling type of magical artifact among the many available today.

A well-made magic robe can even sell for several times more than a storage magic artifact—this is actually related to the current state of the cultivation world. After all, making space-type magic artifacts is not difficult, so the cheap ones are very cheap, but the expensive ones are also very expensive.

The cheaper options are storage bags and storage rings.

The expensive ones are things like portable cave dwellings or Sumeru grottoes.

of course.

The robes that Li Ye wants to make will have basic dust-removing effects, and most importantly, the special effect of imbuing the embroidery with spirit power.

The spirit silkworms he cultivated all possessed extraordinary spirituality. As long as the embroiderer could embroider a "shell" with silk, and then use the finishing touch technique, it would become an "embroidery spirit" that could be summoned at any time.

Moreover, this embroidery spirit can change its own spiritual power according to different spiritual power dyes. There are embroiderers in the Bitter Journey Academy who specialize in making this kind of embroidery spirit.

A robe that can summon embroidered spirits to help you can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of spirit stones.

While the extremely expensive materials played a part, the main reason was the craft of embroidery itself.

Unfortunately, there are very few people who can embroider, and who are also skilled in using and dyeing the silk of the Empty Ink Spirit Silkworm. He searched several times within the sect but could not find a suitable person.

In the end, we had no choice but to shelve it.

And now it seems there is an opportunity to do so.

He still had some expectations.

After saying that, he looked at Hu Tao Tao Zhenren and waited for her to answer.

Li Ye's sudden question made Hu Taotao, who was about to reprimand him a few more times, stop what she was doing. The anger in her eyes subsided slightly, and a hint of doubt and consideration flashed across her face.

This young friend Li is quite knowledgeable. Since he has spoken up, could it be that Hu Feng's seemingly nonsensical dye actually has some merit? If it is truly beneficial to the cooperation, then this kid might be able to enter Li Ye's inner circle.

Does he really have that ability?

Will it succeed?

If I fail, I'll lose face in front of my old friends.

After Li Ye finished explaining his idea, before Hu Taotao could speak, the serene white fox from the fox pack stepped forward, transformed into a human, and softly said:

“Grandma, Master Li, my little sister Hu Hu has some knowledge of embroidery, so perhaps we could give it a try.”

Seeing this, Hu Taotao regained her composure and nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, I know Hu Hu's skills. Hu Feng's dye was successful, and I'm sure you helped out a lot, maybe even pulled him by the tail and dipped him into the dye vat, right?"

A shy smile appeared on Hu Hu's face when this was mentioned, but Hu Feng said in a carefree manner, "Yes, yes, sister Hu and I cooperate very well. With the two of us working together, we will definitely be able to complete what Master Li needs!"

“You’ll know once you try it.” Li Ye immediately took out a large pile of silkworm silk, along with various spiritual materials he had prepared beforehand that could be used as dye, and said to Hu Feng:

"Fellow Daoist Hu, let's see if you can dye these silkworms."

Hu Feng saw the large pile of silkworm silk and the spiritual materials that Li Ye had prepared, representing different attributes—these spiritual items were basically produced inside the cave.

For example, the silver color formed by the moon liquid beads gathered from the Silver Moon Grass, the golden-red color stained by the collision of the Golden-Red Dragon Carp with the Spirit Water Phoenix Eye Lotus, and the five colors naturally generated by the five elements of spiritual power...

of course.

There is also the newly formed azure color, which is the result of the transformation of Zhu Yu and Hui Yuan silkworms.

—As early as when he obtained the Tiancai Stone Carving, Li Ye had already been preparing various colors using the "Condensing Color" method, and now the time has finally come to put them to use.

The sheer number of colors dazzled him.

"It's so beautiful."

"So many colors..."

"Master Li, you are amazing!"

After a moment of stunned silence, Hu Feng began dyeing the silk—he was adept at the process of mixing colors, seemingly possessing an innate intuition for this. He was skilled at determining how much spiritual energy to add, how to mix it, and what materials to use to highlight the characteristics of the spiritual energy.

In no time, several dye vats of different colors were made, and then the silk was immersed in them to dye it.

Logically speaking, the silk threads spun by the Void Ink Spirit Silkworm are originally "ink," which is black and white. It is not easy to dye them with other colors without affecting their original spiritual energy structure.

But Hu Feng accomplished it with ease.

Bundles of silk in different colors were produced at a visible speed, and then he tossed them to Hu Hu:
"Girl, it's your turn!"

"it is good."

Hu Hu immediately took over and began making clothes out of silk. While making clothes, he could also multitask, using his tail to hold an embroidery needle and embroider lifelike creatures on the clothes.

She first embroidered the plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums, which are

Each plant is incredibly lifelike, and then other mythical beasts are embroidered around the plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums. The colors on the robe blend together perfectly, making it look like a painting.

—And that is quite difficult.

The creation of a ritual robe requires not only the construction of the spiritual patterns commonly found on magical artifacts, but also the perfect fusion of the embroidered object and the robe's own spiritual power. If any step in this process goes wrong, the robe will become a waste.

It's not as simple as one plus one at all.

Hu Hu's skillful handling of the craft caught Mo Qi Zhenren's attention, who teased, "You're willing to call the most elite junior in the clan. I bet the other juniors also have their own skills."

Hu Taotao was beaming with joy—it was a wonderful thing in life for a junior to make her look good in front of her old friend and another young cultivator who had achieved great success at a young age.

She produced a fan from somewhere, opened it with a "whoosh," obscuring half her face, and chuckled softly:
"Of course, I want to give my younger brother the best."

"Don't just stand around doing nothing. Speak up about whatever skills you have, or if Brother Li dislikes you later, don't blame me for making you stand in the corner to reflect on your mistakes when we get back!"

The other foxes also transformed into humans.

Then they surrounded Li Ye, as if they were recruiting at a market, introducing their expertise.

He is skilled in managing interpersonal relationships, knows the rules of various sects like the back of his hand, has connections throughout the five regions and four seas, is proficient in basic cultivation techniques, is good at teaching disciples, and is adept at talisman formations and alchemy...

Besides these basic skills, they were also quite proficient in music, painting, chess, and even had some knowledge of composing poetry.

They don't give the impression of being a group of foxes.

Instead it's like...

A housekeeper carefully cultivated by a large family.

"I have a general understanding of everyone's abilities."

"Here, this is an identity jade pendant containing a trace of my spiritual energy. With this, you can legitimately enter Feilai Peak to do your work."

"I'll have to trouble you all to take care of the temperament, abilities, and results of the trials of those disciples. You can tell my disciple Zhao He about everything that needs to be done. If you can't handle it, come to Ruoquan Island to find me."

“I will set up a place for you all on Ruoquan Road, where you will plant lots of auspicious plants.”

After learning about their abilities, Li Ye promptly sent them to Feilai Peak and gave each fox a jade pendant that identified them.

Don't use people with suspicion, don't use people who are suspicious.

The Qingqiu Clan and the Four Seasons Sect have long been closely linked, like vines entwined on a tree. At least when it comes to doing things, these foxes will definitely do their best.

As for whether he can truly bring them under his wing and win their hearts completely, that depends on whether Li Ye can offer them irreplaceable "benefits" or simply use his charm to conquer this group of... looks-obsessed people.

……

The foxes of Qingqiu left the peach grove.

But their hearts were pounding wildly, and some of them could hardly contain their excitement.

"How can Master Lingye be so handsome!"

"His appearance was so extraordinary that it was truly unforgettable."

"Ah, if I could see Lingye Zhenren's face and body every day, I would be willing to eat Zhu Yu every day!"

They were discussing it intensely.

Some of the foxes with more severe illnesses even rubbed the jade pendant, which contained a trace of Li Ye's spiritual energy, on their faces, revealing silly smiles.

You should know that the fox clan of Qingqiu are born to devour the spiritual energy of Zhu Yu, or to chew on pine and cypress trees, and have long been accustomed to the pure spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

What happened was that Li Ye's pure and ethereal aura was purer than that of everyone else they could see. In addition, the entire clan had an irresistible fondness for beautiful things, so they were full of energy whenever they could see Li Ye.

Not to mention that Li Ye also provided them with suitable accommodations and a constant supply of spiritual energy.

"Hey."

One of the slightly more sober foxes shook his head and said:
"Don't get too excited."

"Master Lingye has given us so many benefits. If we fail to handle this matter well, it won't just be a matter of losing face."

“We are all elites selected by Grandma Hu Taotao. Have you thought about what the consequences would be if we didn’t do well?”

The fox's rather clear-headed words instantly brought the fox men and women, who were infatuated with the girl, back to their senses.

Yes.

Now is not the time to let our guard down.

They were, after all, elite descendants of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, so it was quite normal for them to regain their senses. They immediately transformed into foxes and scattered in all directions.

Things started to get busy.

Hu Taotao finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving words of comfort from her great-great-grandson.

She gazed at the completed robe, made of silk and embroidered with delicate embroidery, and a slight smile played on her lips.

They've finally pushed all the younger generation out into the world.

In that way, she won't have to worry about these children being left unattended when she reaches the end of her life in a dozen or so years.

She felt that she was quite good at judging people.

As long as they do their jobs well, Li Ye will definitely bring them under his protection.

Think so.

She smiled at Mo Qi and said, "Now that the robe is finished, how about we hold a trade fair on Ruoquan Island and see if this item can attract the attention of cultivators?"

Mo Qi looked at her strangely upon hearing this.

But he didn't say anything.

Just nodded.

Something feels off about this guy.
