Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel

Regarding this matter.

Even Chen Mo had no way to offer any advice.

A thousand people have a thousand methods.

What's more, back then he couldn't even pass the most basic test of "Nine Songs Lady Xiang"—he couldn't comprehend the sincere offerings of people and the far-off gaze of a God through time.

Because he still believed in the power of merging all methods into oneself.

"It's no matter."

However, Li Ye wasn't looking for an answer, he just felt a bit lost, a momentary confusion. Afterwards, he would continue to strive for the answers.

"I always feel like the answer is very close to me, even closer than before. I've even seen buildings that could be called the answer."

His Third Senior Brother gave him a strange look.

The building as an answer?

Seen before?

Even the well-traveled Chen Mo was puzzled about what Li Ye meant.

"I'll think hard about it when I go back!"

"Also, I can't just stop building houses, right?"

Li Ye took his leave from the Third Senior Brother and returned to Dongcang Town to continue his building trials.

Immersed in the trials, time always flies by.

In the blink of an eye, autumn passed, winter came, and the seasons turned.

By then, it was already the summer of the second year.

"Brother Ye!"

A young, vigorous man with his upper body bare suddenly came rushing over excitedly.

This was the Du surnamed youth who had said he would help cultivate the land and indeed, he had helped quite a bit. After all, Li Ye was just a somewhat frail mortal.

"What's happening, Brother Du."

Li Ye looked up from his book. At this moment, he was still wearing simple clothes, and under the intense white summer sunlight, his once-pale skin had taken on a sun-kissed wheat color.

This took away much of his sickly or otherworldly aura, making him look much better than a year ago.

"The Jade Fragrant Melons are ripe!"

Brother Du was ecstatic: "Guardian Yao is already over there waiting, saying we should all go pick the melons!"

Although the Jade Fragrant Melons had been bound and modified by Li Ye, they still had to follow the natural rules of growth, not to mention they were to be the main food source for this group groundbreaking and reclaiming the wasteland.

So Brother Du's excitement was understandable.

This was their first harvest on this land.

As long as there are crops to plant and harvest, they can always survive, and they didn't want to keep receiving grain from the Four Seasons Sect. Growing their own crops was natural.

Now they're ripe.

No wonder he was so happy and in a hurry.

"Oh!"

Li Ye immediately stood up with a smile: "Then what are we waiting for, let's go quickly!"

"Let's go!"

The two quickly left one after the other.

Following the newly constructed road, they soon arrived at the field where the Jade Fragrant Melons were planted—a plot of land covering approximately three hundred acres, densely packed with melons of white jade color.

In the dark soil, they stood out particularly.

Around these melons, small holes were visible, each containing little creatures peeking out watchfully.

They were Spirit Beasts, with short limbs similar to dogs, their backs patterned exactly like the Jade Fragrant Melon.

They were... civet cats.

[Name]: Jade Fragrance Civet Cat

[Mood]: Alert, uneasy, reluctant

[Status]: The civet cats living in the Jade Fragrant Melon fields assist in harvesting the melons and can extract the seeds for second processing, but they demand a tenth of the yield.

[Bound to]: Jade Fragrant Melon

Brother Du stood beside Li Ye and whispered: "Over this year, working the land with them, they did a better job than us.

The harvest should include their share, right?

Who knows if Guardian Yao is willing to give them some."

Li Ye looked over at Yang Sha, who stood by the field's edge, almost indistinguishable from a living person, and nodded: "They'll definitely get their share."

As soon as he finished speaking.

It was unclear if Yang Sha had heard him, but he raised his head and said loudly: "You eat first, and help us harvest too!"

—This was addressed to the Jade Fragrance Civet Cats living in the field.

"Chirp, chirp!"

The eyes of the civet cats instantly lit up.

They emerged from their tunnels and began picking the fully ripe melons one by one, taking some plump ones back to their dens, and placing others on the ridges.

Although they were just First Tier Qi Refining Spirit Beasts, their speed was quite remarkable. They moved through the fields, appearing almost as afterimages, and quickly gathered all the Jade Fragrant Melons from the hundreds of acres.

They then orderly ran to the nearby canal, using their short, sturdy paws to carefully wash themselves, and afterward returned to where the melons were placed.

They seemed to be waiting for something as they glanced over at Yang Sha.

"Hurry!"

Yang Sha commanded: "Set up the water channel!"

With his order.

Some townspeople came holding objects that looked like miniature carved jade rivers and placed them on the ground. The jade river channels instantly expanded, precisely crossing in front of the ridges.

Once the channels were ready, the civet cats began their work, gently tapping the Jade Fragrant Melons with their clean, short paws, which immediately cracked open.

Inside, blocks of cube-shaped melon flesh fell out.

The flesh was fresh red, dripping with sweet-scented juice, making one's mouth water just by the smell, and the summer heat seemed to be brushed away by the fragrance of the juice.
