Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel

At this moment.

Su Ya, who was being talked about by Li Ye, was returning tiredly from the family residence.

He urgently needed someone to talk to.

He didn't expect Huiya Grotto Heaven to have such a deep connection with him, these matters were indeed overwhelming for him.

So he quickly returned to the sect and found Li Ye, without hesitating, he said: "Do you have any wine left?"

Li Ye glanced at the dispirited Su Ya.

Without saying much, he directly took out the remaining Peach Blossom Wine he had.

"Drink up."

"If it's not enough, I have other wine here."

"We don't have much else, but there's always plenty of wine!"

A new batch is already brewing, although these wines get more mellow over time, they still need to be drunk.

Su Ya directly picked up the wine jar and gulped down "ton ton ton," the wine streamed down his cheeks like raindrops pouring onto the earth, he drank less than he spilled.

After he finished drinking, he gently placed the wine jar on the table and leaned over the table, his face full of distress.

"..."

"So what's bothering you? Why not tell me, your junior brother?"

Li Ye asked tentatively.

Su Ya was actually waiting for Li Ye to ask.

"Sigh." Su Ya let out a long sigh: "Indeed, the Huiya Marketplace was established by my grandfather's generation, but some things happened afterward.

My grandfather... because of his mistakes, was planted inside Huiya Grotto Heaven by the sect.

This matter is also related to me, I truly feel somewhat anxious and unsettled."

What?

Li Ye swallowed hard.

Totally unexpected there was such a matter.

Among all the punishments of the Four Seasons Sect, planting a cultivator into a tree is considered the severest.

The punished cultivator must constantly endure the pain of the tree's veins piercing the body, standing rigidly in place, unable to move while being drained of their Essence Blood and Mana.

Most importantly, the tree used for punishment, once it absorbs enough nutrients, will feed back some Spiritual Power.

As long as the tree doesn't die, as long as the cultivator's lifespan isn't depleted, they face near-eternal torment.

Even their soul is subjected to this pain, until it's truly scattered, unable to reincarnate.

Normally, only those greatly evil would suffer such punishment.

"What did your grandfather... do?"

Li Ye did not think much about it.

In his view, past generations are past generations, his relationship with Su Ya is so good, it surely can't be estranged because of this.

Moreover, since the master initially arranged for Su Ya to befriend him, there must be some hidden truth here.

If you think more about it, now that the master suddenly mentioned this matter, does it mean there's still room for maneuver in this issue?

The senior brother has helped him so much, he's really willing to help him back.

"Sigh." Su Ya sighed again: "My grandfather, when Huiya Grotto Heaven was built, stole something from inside, nearly causing the grotto heaven to collapse.

That's why he was planted in there."

Li Ye frowned: "He stole something from inside, it seems it must be important, can it be returned? If it can be returned, the penalty should be reduced."

"I'll also say some good words for you."

"At worst, merits and demerits offset, doesn't the sect allow such a thing?"

Su Ya showed a complicated expression: "That item is now inside my body, long since integrated with me.

It's a Spirit Pill born from the grotto heaven, naturally nurtured Essence of Heaven and Earth."

"..."

Now even Li Ye fell silent.

No wonder Su Ya said earlier it was related to him, it really is.

The opening of a grotto heaven is essentially equivalent to nurturing a small "Celestial Dao" from nothing, the rise and fall of the sun and moon, the gathering and dispersing of clouds and rain in the grotto heaven rely on these spiritual properties.

Whether a grotto heaven can be called a grotto heaven depends on whether it has such nurtured spirituality, without it, it's just a larger space.

Stealing the spirituality of a grotto heaven is equivalent to causing a painstakingly established grotto heaven to completely collapse.

And the spiritual materials required for a grotto heaven...

No wonder he was planted into it, it's to maintain the operation of the grotto heaven.

He was conflicted for a long time and could only sigh slightly: "Your grandfather must love you very much, willing to commit such a great crime to give you the best."

These words made Su Ya's mood even more complex, for he truly grew up within the sect, with a strong sense of belonging to it.

Yet on one side was his grandfather who stole the Spirit Pill for his smoother path, on the other was the sect, being caught in between brought him great pain.

So he picked up another jar of wine and began to gulp it down.

Li Ye watched, but didn't say anything.

He was still somewhat puzzled.

The master suddenly mentioning this, surely has a reason — perhaps the master believes he can help Su Ya solve this matter, so he suddenly reminded him.

Spirituality, hm?

Spirituality...

Li Ye suddenly had a thought, he grabbed Su Ya's arm urgently: "Do you have any residual spirituality left on you? Or is there any residual spirituality left in that grotto heaven?"

If there's spirituality, can he perhaps use the Life Breath Spirit Transformation Scroll to shape this spirituality and nurture it in the Ink and Water World?

Though it sounds unbelievable, as they say 'effort will lead to success,' how can you know what's possible unless you try?

Wasn't it when his master heard him mentioning the Ink and Water World that he suddenly hinted at this?

A glimmer of fire lit in Su Ya's eyes.

He knew Li Ye was thinking of solutions to help him, and it's likely he already had a plan.
