Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel

A gentle breeze of unknown origin lightly caressed the gourd, making it sway gently, and some spiritual light began to gradually spread.

The cool breeze and the spiritual light made people feel a calm peace in their hearts.

The beavers sitting inside the array seemed as if some intelligence-enhancing magic had been cast upon them, quickly finished processing their respective tree branches, and transported them outside one by one.

In theory, this was a very common affair, yet this batch of timber, whether in terms of the strength of gnawing or the level of construction, far exceeded their usual dam building.

Some even faintly shimmered with spiritual lights, reaching the level of a magical artifact, with leaves and branches showing no signs of wilting.

More astonishingly, these dams, crafted by different beavers, seemed to hold some mystical connection to each other. As the rapid waters of the Weichuan passed through the dams, the flow slowed slightly, and the water seemed imbued with a cheerful spirituality.

That section of the river truly appeared to merge into one.

Even the various kinds of spirit fish living within approached the dams unknowingly and gently gnawed at the tender buds and bark of the branches.

"Oh?"

"This array is indeed peculiar, using the vitality of gourds paired with turtles to stabilize the vitality of the tree trunks and branches, then combining the gourd and turtle with Qi Fortune and Shining Gold…"

"How is it that the Qi Fortune within this unique Turtle Spirit Gourd is not damaged in the slightest?"

Li Ye responded: "Senior Brother, your eyesight is truly remarkable. This array relies on the Turtle Spirit Gourd being rooted in the earth, with its continually flowing spiritual power.

According to the conclusions Uncle Master Lu and I have speculated, if the earth breathes without end, the power of the Turtle Spirit Gourd will also be unending, and it may even gather Qi Fortune on its own.

However, this array should only be set up in the Eastern Domain of our Four Seasons Sect; obviously, other places lack this kind of environment."

After hearing Li Ye's introduction and some of the theories, Senior Brother Chen raised the most important question: "Are these Turtle Spirit Gourds willing?

If the Turtle Spirit Gourd isn't willing to contribute, its Resentment Qi will eventually affect the Qi Fortune and the ascent of the water flow, and some very bad things might happen by then."

This truly is the biggest problem with the Water Turtle Array.

——Its operation doesn't involve any forced or binding array patterns for the flow of spiritual energy, and it can basically be considered a super-large array for amplifying Qi Fortune and spiritual energy, with all its wonder stemming from the uniqueness of the Turtle Spirit Gourd and Shining Gold.

And to this, Li Ye merely replied, "These Turtle Spirit Gourds were all meticulously cared for and richly raised by me, perhaps because they never worried about their livelihood, so they don't hide anything."

These words were indeed quite novel.

But upon careful thought, it does make some sense, even aligning with the Four Seasons Sect's philosophy—weren't they raised in abundance too?

As long as they are regular disciples, they basically aren't troubled or worried about cultivation resources and opportunities.

It is precisely because of this that they are not troubled by these 'trivial matters,' and they are quite straightforward in their conduct and dealings.

Being richly raised, along with proper guidance from their master and elders, their character is very good, and they naturally have very good relations.

Turns out that richly raising Spirit Beasts has its benefits too.

"Truly wonderful."

Senior Brother Chen became interested, lightly tapped the plump bottom of the beaver beside him: "Little Chen, go give it a try."

"Chirp chirp!"

The beaver resentfully rubbed its bottom, then took out some Third and Fourth Tier spiritual materials from a specially crafted Storage Ring, starting to gnaw and construct its dam.

For every part completed, it would put a portion into the Storage Ring until it finished entirely, then ventured outside, leaping into the river, assembling its dam amidst the rushing waters.

It was evident that the dam it built had some mystical characteristics; the water passing through the dam seemed purified, with sediments intercepted, piling up at the bottom of the dam, continuously reinforcing it.

As time passes, this dam is likely to become more and more stable.

"Chirp chirp."

The seemingly ordinary beaver returned with a proud chest, throwing a smug glance at the beavers preparing materials near Li Ye.

Only then did Li Ye notice.

This was actually a Golden Core-level beaver!

He was utterly speechless. A Golden Core-level beaver could be considered a senior, yet behaved so childishly.

In his heart, he secretly mocked, momentarily forgetting that his few Foundation Establishment-level beavers caused less trouble than children.

As for the beavers by Li Ye, instead of hurriedness, they occasionally fetched things to eat from the Storage Pouch Li Ye gave them.

Not at all like working, but rather like kids playing with mud.

This relaxing demeanor made Li Ye quite pleased.

Not being disturbed by external objects was considered the most fundamental.

If they seriously went up to fight just because someone looked at them boastfully, Li Ye would indeed feel a little disappointed.

Just when Li Ye felt gratified.

Chen's beaver's round eyes rolled, revealing a hint of cunning light, and it directly approached Li Ye, embracing his leg.

It even began rubbing comfortably against it.

Then flashed a grin towards the beavers, surprised and dumbfounded from afar.

Li Ye: "..."

Beavers: "!!!"

The previously composed beavers suddenly reddened like steamed, their fur turning crimson, steam puffing from their heads.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

Numerous water balls flew over instantly.

Some beavers even called in those building the dam outside.

Suddenly, Li Ye found himself the central focus of many curious cultivators' gaze, almost unable to maintain his smile.

Senior Brother Chen hadn't anticipated this one's mischievous nature, quickly grabbing it and lifting it by the scruff, smacking its bottom hard a few times.

The sound was very substantial and resounding.

"You're becoming more and more impudent!"

Li Ye also hurriedly dispersed the water balls and comforted the beavers properly, quieting the commotion.

Once everything settled, Senior Brother Chen left the beaver behind and walked with Li Ye by the riverbank where dams were being constructed, saying:

"Looks like you know who I am, right?"

"Yes."

"Third Senior Brother." Li Ye sighed, "I've already reached Golden Core and haven't seen you or Fourth Senior Brother, what kind of big things are you guys usually busy with?"

"..." Senior Brother Chen pursed his lips, "For someone like you to progress from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core in two years is quite uncommon, plus you can't blame us for this.

After all, the tasks were assigned by the master.

After some time, maybe we can complain to the master together, then let's hang out for a bit, how about it?"

Mentioning this, he had some grudges; originally thinking he could play the Golden Core senior to a new Foundation Establishment junior, but within two years, the junior went from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core!

If this pace continues, Nascent Soul might be attainable soon; ranked third, yet his talent in cultivation was frankly not great, feeling quite pressured.

Hang out?

"Where does Senior Brother intend to broaden my horizons?" Li Ye asked curiously.

"How about Qingqiu Spirit Mountain?"

"I actually spent quite a bit of time there before, and got to know several romantic partners, returning only after drinking and tea-drinking with them, and it took two months of daily visits to free myself."

"Here, this is a gift from them, made of their own tail hair."

Senior Brother Chen pulled out a bell, from which dangled over thirty fluffy fox tails, emitting a refined fragrance.

"..."

Over thirty?

This is considered a few romantic partners.

Turns out you were just trying to amuse me.

Li Ye also wanted to boast a bit, but after considering the spirit race or friends he knew, he couldn't exactly ask Li Sui from the Enlightened Race or Yuan Yan from the Yuansheng Deer tribe to pluck a few tails for him.

Though they'd probably do it...

But somehow it felt odd.

He suddenly felt a little dejected.
