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

Chapter 97: The Manta Ray and the Provocation of the Beaver
“…It came so quickly.”

Master Su shook his head helplessly: "Master Youtian, do you think I will bully your junior brother?
I remember you also need to prepare silk for shipment to the Southern Region.

Why are you rushing here so hastily? Do you not trust me, your uncle?"

You Tianzhen, who had just walked out of the door, was teased by Su Yu, but he could only laugh along:
"Of course not."

“It’s just that I happened to see that my uncle-master allocated one hundred taels of merit to my junior fellow apprentice, so I rushed over out of curiosity.

I'm also afraid that my junior brother will be so ignorant that he'll upset you again."

This sounded like an explanation, but Su Yu heard it clearly. This was clearly more protective of her! Regardless of whether she was provoked or not, just don't get angry.

She was too lazy to say anything else and simply waved her hand:

"Since you are here, you should explain to your junior brother. I still have a furnace of pills to start, so I will leave first."

Master Su's figure disappeared instantly.

Li Ye was left blinking and looking at his burly second senior brother.

The latter also looked at Li Ye.

The two couldn't help but smile at each other, feeling a lot more familiar with each other.

Then, You Tian Zhenren sat down and said casually, "When I sent you to the sect, I was in a hurry to report to the head master, so I didn't have time to talk to you too much.

How is it going? Are you adapting to living in the sect?"

Li Ye nodded: "I'm adapting very well. I didn't expect the environment in our sect to be so good, but..."

He scratched his head: "The place is really too big, and it will be a bit troublesome to build a cave."

"Haha." Second Senior Brother laughed and said, "That's right. After all, your cave residence is issued according to the qualifications of an inner sect spiritual plant master."

He looked at Li Ye with gentle and gratified eyes: "It's an uncollected spirit beast. Little Junior Brother, your luck is really good."

Li Ye quickly said modestly: "Junior brother, I was just lucky enough to get this kind of spiritual turtle."

"But luck is extremely rare for people like me who practice immortal cultivation." You Tianzhen curled his lips and said, "You and I, brothers, please don't be so polite here.

This is a new spirit beast you discovered, so you get to name it.

You can apply to the sect for the materials needed for its research, but there must be results.

If the spiritual materials produced by this kind of spiritual beast can be used to develop new elixir formulas or magical instruments, it will be a great achievement, and the merits will continue to flow."

Li Ye nodded: "I understand."

"I've actually been breeding them. After I saw that they were the offspring of a gourd and a spirit turtle, I tried to plant some gourd vines near the nest to see if they could mutate.

What we are studying now is the effect of the Five Elements Spirit Gourd on them."

"The Five Elements Spirit Gourd?"

You Tianzhen thought for a moment and said, "Then you must need the energy of the Five Elements. I have a piece of Five Elements Jade Spring here. You can take it and use it first."

The immortal took out a five-colored jade pendant. Inside the jade pendant was a spring. The shape of the spring was like a natural Tai Chi diagram, from which the yin and yang sides of the five elements gushed out.

It looks quite magical.

"How can I do this? I can apply to the sect..."

How can you let your senior brother produce spiritual objects like this?

But he heard his second brother say:

"Actually, I've been using this Yuquan for a while now, so I'm taking this opportunity to exchange it for a new one. You can continue to apply for it after it's used up."

"..."

"Then junior brother will accept it."

There was no need to say anything more at this point, so he simply took the jade pendant and accepted it.

"That's right. You have to learn so many spells and magical powers and also take care of the cave. Can you handle it alone?" asked the second senior brother again.

"Junior brother is also hesitating whether to go to the spirit beast tribe to seek help." Li Ye replied.

"Then go."

He handed a token to Li Ye and said, "You have such luck and talent, and you will definitely have a lot to do in the future.

The complicated and tedious tasks of taking care of the cave and receiving monks can be left to other people or spirit beasts, and should not delay the practice.

This token is your ticket to Mount Taiqi, the territory of the Manta Rays. Once there, ask their leader for a few young Manta Rays to take back to your cave and raise them. They'll help you take care of your cave."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and said, "If you have anything, you can tell me. Although Master is not in the sect now, the eldest brother and other junior brothers are also outside the sect.

But you don’t need to be afraid of anything, just do it boldly.

The headmaster is still waiting for me, I'm leaving first."

He came suddenly and left quickly. Before Li Ye could say anything, he disappeared.

Li Ye took a look at the jade pendant in his hand with the words "Tai Qi" engraved on it, and decided to solve the problem of the cave today. He would first go to this Tai Qi Mountain to look for the manta ray.

Then take Beaver to Weichuan to recruit new followers.

After all, what the second brother said was indeed right. I can't put too much energy on these things. It's okay to use it to farm and relax in my spare time.

……

Li Ye quickly arrived at a strange place through the token.

In the distance, as far as his sight could reach, was a towering mountain, reaching into the clouds. From its summit flowed a stream of crystal-clear water, flowing westward, seemingly forming a river. He could also vaguely see some strange, bluish-white creatures that resembled carp, with fish bodies and bird-like wings.

【Name】：Striped Manta Ray

【Mood】: Happy, free
Status: No worries
[Bindable]: Fire-type bird spirit beasts of the same rank that possess the "Blood of the Mountain and Sea Gods".

The blood of mountains and seas?

Wait...could this be the magical beast from the Classic of Mountains and Seas?
Before traveling through time, Li Ye had read some Classic of Mountains and Seas.

But the content in it was so much and so diverse that I didn't expect to see living spirit beasts that existed in the myths of books.

I really don't remember what the situation was with the manta ray.

As he observed Mount Taiqi in the distance, a gentle male voice rang out, "Disciple of the Four Seasons Sect, what brings you to the territory of our Manta Ray Clan?"

"call!"

I saw a huge stingray emerging in the distance, its wings even covering the sky. Endless water vapor and wind surrounded its wings, and the water and sky were one color, which was extremely beautiful.

The manta ray stared at Li Ye closely, with a light shining in its eyes that was smarter than a human's.

Obviously, the sound just heard came from this stingray.

This kind of pressure must be at the Nascent Soul level, right?

Li Ye felt that this pressure was even more powerful than that of the fox he had seen before, and quickly took out the token he had been holding:

"Disciple Li Ye, I want to ask Senior for a few Manta Rays to help me take care of my cave!"

A gust of wind swept the token towards the location of the giant manta ray.

Then, the male voice sounded again: "It is Youtian's token... You should be his junior apprentice brother, right? If that's the case."

Another gust of wind brought three manta rays about the size of a palm and a jade slip to Li Ye.

"My clan members have an exceptional talent for caring for cave dwellings. Please read the jade slips carefully and do not treat them harshly!"

As soon as the voice fell, the huge manta ray disappeared.

Li Ye, who was already used to the big guys' favorite method of disappearing, bowed and saluted: "Thank you, senior!"

Then he carefully placed the three manta rays and the jade slip into the storage ring and hurried away.

He quickly rushed back to the cave and released the manta ray.

These three manta rays, which were only the size of a palm, were quite smart. As soon as they came out, they opened their red mouths towards Li Ye.

The result was a clear and crisp crowing sound like a rooster, but more noble.

Then they began to fly happily.

It flapped its blue and white wings, and immediately a wind blew up, sweeping away the debris in the yard and piling it up.

Their tails are not idle either. They can form whirlpools on the water surface by gently swinging, separating all the impurities in the water, and then being carried aside by the wind.

It can even guide the water flow to turn into spiritual rain, evenly watering every spiritual plant.

Just like that, in a short while they flew to various places in the cave and were happily busy.

Li Ye was stunned by what he saw.

Is this... really a noble spiritual beast?
He thought he had to communicate with them before letting them help him, but it turned out that they knew what to do as soon as they came.

"Jiji!"

The beavers that were sleeping in the yard sensed the stingray, and when they came out they saw that the guy had done all their work.

They immediately felt that their position was threatened, and they hurried over and hugged Li Ye's thighs tightly, looking up pitifully.

Obviously vying for favor.

They couldn't compete with the strange bird in terms of ability, but could they lose to anyone in the competition for favor?
"You guys." Li Ye felt helpless at first, but then he thought, isn't this just perfect?

In the past, these guys had no pressure at all on their side and were unwilling to accept their own kind.

But now that there is pressure, isn't it a good opportunity to encourage them to recruit more followers?

Li Ye's eyes turned, and he said gently and coaxingly: "You see, these stingrays are much more powerful than you. If you want to catch up, you have to call more of your own kind!

At least you should unite and not give up your dominance in the waters! Otherwise, won't your food be eaten up by them? "

Although the beavers in Weichuan are smart enough, they have never experienced this kind of trick, especially since the one who tricked them is the owner who has always taken good care of them!
Being fooled by their master, the fighting spirit of the Weichuan beavers was immediately aroused.

They chirped in unison.

There was a hint of sharpness in the originally cute voice.

Seeing that his provocation was successful, Li Ye nodded with satisfaction.

"Then I'll take you there now, but you have to be prepared..."

Li Ye was worried and stuffed some spirit stones into the small storage bags around their necks, then gave them detailed instructions.

Then he took them to the ancestral home of the Weichuan beaver.

It is also the largest river within the Four Seasons Sect.

Weichuan!
