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

Chapter 315 Demonized Spirit Plant
The panel seems to classify the demonic seed as either a "spirit beast" or a "spirit plant".

[Name]: Li Ye's Demon Seed

[Mood]: Anxious
[Status]: A demonic seed belonging to Li Ye, formed by the combined power of the Compassionate God, the Jianmu Tree, and many other divine powers. After it gained sentience, it desperately craved freedom.

【Can be bound (Tao)】: Any spirit beast or spirit plant that can share demonic energy and is connected to "Tongqing".

[Can be bound (demon)]: Any spirit beast or spirit plant that is connected to [compassion] and is willing to accept demonic supernatural powers.

This binding is a one-time binding; it will expire after the demon seed is planted.

Li Ye raised an eyebrow.

seem.

The panel has become much smarter after this change.

Tao and Demon?

He watched the demonic seed "fighting" with his golden core within his body, then focused his mind, transmitting his consciousness through the spiritual vines of the cave to the consciousness of all the spiritual plants and beasts—

"Anyone who wants to try transforming into a demonic cultivator can tell Xiaoling, but they need to be able to maintain their original heart. Anyone who wants to help me share the demonic energy can also tell me."

A brief moment of silence.

Then came the surging waves of divine consciousness, like the ocean tide.

"I!"

"Master, choose me!"

I want to help you!

To put it bluntly, the spirit beasts and plants living in Li Ye's cave are already absolutely loyal, since all the preferential treatment they enjoy comes from Li Ye.

In addition, the Spirit Vine is constantly nagging, so this two-pronged approach naturally yields excellent results.

Most of the spirit beasts and plants were willing to help Li Ye share the impact of the demonic energy, but a very small number of them wanted to transform into demonic beings, but hesitated and dared not speak loudly.

They may not fully understand what the "demonic path" truly represents. This special power is both dangerous and alluring to these creatures who spend their days in a cave that resembles a paradise.

Among them is the Earth Demon Ginseng.

"Owner."

“I was originally a demonic spiritual plant, as you know, and the spiritual runes I inscribed back then should be related to the laws of the earth.”

“You can give me your expertise in this area, and perhaps I can bring about a different change for you, which will also help you share the burden.”

Its intelligence is already very complete.

The lotus flower atop its head swayed slightly, its crystal-clear petals revealing a hint of "anticipation".

Perhaps it's because it's been pure for too long.

It even wanted to experience the "pleasure" brought by the demonic path.

Li Ye hesitated briefly, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Afterwards, perhaps seeing how easy-going Li Ye was, several more spiritual plants and many more spiritual beasts offered to share the burden.

Some bamboo ants, a few golden-red dragon carp, a water spirit, a sweet potato dragon, a dew-collecting magnolia tree...

Among them were even the earliest ones who followed Li Ye, and could be said to have given birth to the entire Turtle Spirit Gourd and Gourd Spirit Turtle Clan, including the Earth Turtle and the Bitter Spirit Gourd.

They are truly veterans.

Even though these two guys were causing trouble everywhere, and sometimes even doing things that were inconvenient to talk about on Li Ye's desk, Li Ye always turned a blind eye.

As the "ancestor" of such a large race.

Li Ye was willing to take good care of them, and even planned for their future potential to become gods, until they grew tired of this world and wanted to be reincarnated.

But unexpectedly, they also wanted to fall into the demonic path.

He hesitated for a moment.

The tortoise said slowly and deliberately:

"Owner."

“We have enjoyed the offerings brought by the younger generation, and we have tasted and enjoyed almost all kinds of spiritual energy, including the five elements, yin and yang.”

"We're getting bored, so we'd like to try something exciting with demonic energy. Please allow us."

Want to experience thrills?

"..."

Li Ye then had a strange feeling.

Although earth turtles are originally low-level spirit beasts, their lifespan can often reach several thousand years, and it is even possible for them to live for tens of thousands of years in a better environment.

It is said that somewhere in the sect, there still lies a slumbering earth tortoise brought by the founding masters.

Compared to their supposedly long lifespan, this tortoise, estimated to be only a little over a hundred years old, seems to be in its youth.

However, this means that it is only a little over a hundred years old and is already the grandfather, great-grandfather, and even great-great-grandfather of countless descendants. Now it is just waiting to enjoy its life, and may even want to find some excitement from time to time.

After imagining it this way, Li Ye simply agreed.

Then he brought all the spirit beasts or plants that were willing to share his burden or absorb the demonic energy into the Jianmu tree through the Bagua Sky Plate and the Weichuan River.

Then came various bindings.

Fortunately, Li Ye had stockpiled a lot of life essence, but the Ashes of Death were not easy to obtain. If it weren't for the fact that many Heavenly Blessed Rice had died under his demonic energy, he probably wouldn't even have been able to bind them.

Even so, his current Dead Ashes are only enough to bind about twenty spirit beasts or spirit plants.

But it's enough.

He bound them one by one.

It was clear that the demonic energy of the demonic seed was being extracted, but it didn't disappear completely. Instead, it was being transferred to a certain place for purification before being brought back.

The spirit beasts and spirit plants were in great pain.

The almost scorching stimulation from the demonic energy made them tremble, yet they still used their spiritual power to nurture it, eventually taming the originally unruly demonic energy.

The purified demonic energy then returns to the demonic seed.

It truly relieved a lot of pressure for Li Ye.

The demons have become much more docile, even visibly more docile and controllable.

Because they had carried demonic energy, their spiritual power had become even purer—this behavior was a double-edged sword, but with the help of Li Ye and Tong Qing, it was transformed into a ritual that enhanced and purified spiritual power without any side effects.

He also infused the demon seed with many different kinds of spiritual energy.

This made the demonic seed even stronger.

So it's no wonder it's called a panel; even though it's already "the demonic path," it still maintains the basic underlying logic of symbiosis and mutual benefit.

"It is indeed feasible."

"Hmm... but these guys..."

After confirming that there were no problems, Li Ye turned all his attention to the spirit beasts that had chosen the "demon" path.

The first things I looked at were naturally the earth turtle and the bitter gourd.

What were once vibrant and even full of spiritual energy suddenly sprouted many purplish-black bone spurs, or rather, crystal spurs, on their bodies.

These bone spurs stretched across the ground as if they had grown wildly from the bones, making the originally cute-looking tortoise look incredibly ferocious. It couldn't even retract its head because of these bone spurs.

Its mouth was open, and it was roaring silently, clearly in great pain.

No.

It was extremely painful, to the point that the empathetic feeling conveyed an emotion so intense that it seemed as if Li Ye wanted to commit suicide on the spot. Even the slightest hint of that emotion made Li Ye feel somewhat uncomfortable.

As for the Bitter Spirit Gourd, the changes were even more dramatic. Its once lush green vines were now covered with tiny scales, resembling green snakes, and the gourd itself had turned an ominous black. Furthermore, the growth of the vines had become extremely noticeable.

The torment caused by the deep-seated pain made its vines struggle and flail wildly, as if countless snakes had gone mad.

The scene was extremely bizarre for a moment.

Their names were changed to "Demon Breath Turtle" and "Bitter Demon Gourd".

Previously, Li Ye could easily use ten or eight methods to help them speed up the purification and alleviate their pain, but now that these two have become demonic, using spiritual power is obviously not an option.

"Therefore, we can only use demonic power."

Li Ye had anticipated this.

If I want to control demonic energy, I must learn how to use it to perform supernatural powers, so it's not a big deal to try it out now.

So he tried to manipulate demonic energy.

Then, he used a demonized version of the Plant Warmth Technique—a method that is one of the better supernatural abilities used to help plants regulate their own power.

Something unexpected happened.

The demonic energy was very obedient, and it could even be said that it couldn't wait to form a gray-black mist that landed on the Demon Breath Turtle and the Bitter Demon Gourd.

Surrounded by demonic energy, they quickly adapted to the infusion of demonic energy into their bodies and visibly became much more energetic.

"It actually works!"

"I didn't feel any effect from the demonic energy."

"And it seems to be integrating with my body faster as well."

Having discovered this, Li Ye no longer hesitated. Since the demonic seed was already using various supernatural powers and spells, he could simply imitate them.

It can also record the feeling of using these demonic powers. I guess even the Nascent Soul elders have never seen what these powers look like after they are demonized.

Submitting it like this might just be a great achievement?

that's it.

While using his supernatural powers, he kept an eye on the demonized spirit beasts and plants, and at the same time worked hard to plant the demonic seed into his own Dao foundation.

Distracted by three things.

For him, it was a trivial matter.

Following the Demon Breath Turtle and the Bitter Demon Gourd came the Earth Demon Ginseng and the Harmonious Spirit Lotus—the Earth Demon Ginseng, after being demonized, became even more sacred, even bordering on the evil.

First of all, the ginseng's face, which was originally wrinkled and looked like tree bark, has now become incredibly smooth, clearly the face of a beautiful woman.

She has all five facial features and a pure and holy appearance.

She, or rather it, gazed ahead with a compassionate expression, a half-smile playing on its lips, and icy coldness in its eyes.

The ginseng's body also changed from its previous color to a clear, almost transparent glass, which at first glance looked like a woman peeking out from a mirror or glass.

Suspended in mid-air.

"..."

"To be honest, if I hadn't been able to tell it was you, and if you hadn't been using my face, I would have definitely killed you by now."

Li Ye was speechless.

Because he noticed that when this guy first started changing his face, he had some thoughts of wanting to use his own face.

Later, perhaps under his death stare, she obediently changed, becoming this woman's face, which, although beautiful, always feels like a patchwork, resulting in an extremely strange appearance.

Upon hearing Li Ye's words, the woman's face immediately broke into a fawning smile, and her voice became clear and bright: "Hehe, I wouldn't dare to transform into your appearance so easily."

—When he had an old and frail face, making such a move wasn't so bad, but now that he looked like this, Li Ye felt a sense of dread that was hard to describe.

This guy really does have a bit of the feel of a great demon.

The originally ethereal lotus flower growing atop its head has now transformed into a deep color, or rather, colorless, blending directly into its surroundings.

Only the lines at the edges of the petals are still clearly visible.

At first glance, it looks like a demon with lotus petals floating behind him, giving it a strange yet harmonious feel.

What abilities do you have?

Li Ye was very curious about what abilities they would have after this transformation.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the Earth Demon Ginseng and the Demon Lotus begin to rapidly absorb the surrounding demonic energy, and then exhale pure spiritual energy from their petals.

conversion?

Is this the kind of ability?

Li Ye's eyes lit up. He discovered that the demonic energy they exhaled still retained the characteristics of their original spiritual energy, only it had been transformed into demonic energy.

Furthermore, they can not only convert demonic energy into spiritual energy, but also convert spiritual energy into demonic energy, truly achieving the effect of spirit-demon transformation.

"nice."

“This ability…”

It's easy to come up with a lot of usable space just by thinking about it.

It can even be considered an excellent spiritual healing plant, used to treat the injuries of cultivators whose bodies have been invaded by demonic energy and cannot be eradicated.

"and many more."

"You should hurry and help Brother Wei."

He suddenly remembered something, quickly moved them outside, and placed them next to Wei Qingye. Before Wei Qingye could draw his sword, he hurriedly spoke:
"Brother Wei, they can help you purify and adapt to demonic energy, but you must not give them overly sharp sword energy."

Upon hearing this, Wei Qingye barely managed to suppress the urge to chop the fawning woman into seventy or eighty pieces and instead transferred his demonic energy to them.

The woman's face drank in the demonic energy through her nostrils.

Then she exhaled spiritual energy from her cherry lips.

"Whoo~~~"

Spiritual energy surged around Wei Qingye.

This scene made Wei Qingye feel extremely uncomfortable, as if someone had spat in his face, and he almost couldn't hold back his anger.

Fortunately, sword cultivators have a high degree of patience at certain times.

He transmitted the demonic energy outwards, purified it, and then brought it back into himself, and soon became accustomed to its presence.

This scene amazed the gods who were watching.

"A spiritual plant capable of transforming between spirit and demon."

"So he mastered the ability to cultivate magical plants so quickly?"

"Why think so much? Hasn't this kid done enough strange things already?"

"I was just saying it casually, I never expected this child to be such a genius."

The deity whose argument was refuted quickly offered an explanation.

They can grant power voluntarily, but they cannot get too involved with cultivators.

Time passed slowly like this.

While Li Ye was comfortably using his supernatural powers and observing the spirit beasts and plants, on the other side...

Senior Brother Jiang Guichen's tribulation was finally coming to an end.

The entire Eastern Yanghai seemed to boil over at that moment.
