Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel

After holding the Spirit Turtle, he shouted loudly:

"Taoist Friend Li!"

"True Man Lingye! Calm down!"

Li Ye looked doubtfully at True Man Yunming, who was holding the Spirit Turtle with a terrified expression.

He suddenly understood and kindly said:

"What's wrong?"

"Are you worried about my fluctuating state of mind?"

"You're overthinking it. The Tao Sound inside is indeed somewhat helpful to me, but not enough to drive me mad."

"By the way, when will you be able to completely remove the seal on this Turtle Shell?"

You're saying you're not in a hurry like this?

True Man Yunming resisted rolling his eyes, put the Spirit Turtle away, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "It'll probably take twelve years for the next seal to be released. If nothing unexpected happens, it'll be one seal every twelve years."

Twelve years, huh.

That's quite a prolonged time.

Li Ye knew that haste would not help, but he was indeed anxious.

Consistent Tao Sound would certainly be much more effective for him than isolated Tao Sounds like this.

Time, huh.

If we talk about time, he actually had some ideas.

Using the Power of Bronze combined with his mastery of the world, he could accelerate the flow of time within the world, but this would require his mastery and development of the world to reach a threshold.

In other words, he still needed to quickly acquire ores that could make the world more perfect.

It seems he must promptly return to the sect.

With this thought, he calmly said to True Man Yunming:

"I will be returning to the sect for a while."

"During this period, Tao Friend will be led here by my Third Senior Brother, and I look forward to you uncovering the mysteries within soon."

"Farewell."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared into the void.

Leaving True Man Yunming to pout his lips: "It seems to be an extraordinary inheritance, True Man Lingye is likely going back to find solutions, but this is also good, I can also solve the Array seal earlier."

...

He just up and left.

After making his decision, Li Ye went directly to Dongcang Marketplace, used the Teleportation Array, and swiftly returned to the sect, going back to his Cave Mansion.

As soon as he entered the Cave Mansion,

he was greeted by extremely dense Spiritual Qi.

The Spiritual Qi accumulated by Spirit Beasts and Spirit Plants, after being transformed by the Spiritual Mechanism Vine, had already formed into Spiritual Liquid, accumulating at the exit of the Teleportation Array. As soon as Li Ye appeared, it rushed to encircle him and eagerly entered his body.

"Master!"

"Welcome back!"

The enthusiastic voice of the Spiritual Mechanism Vine echoed on his shoulder.

During this time, this guy had evidently completely turned the Cave Mansion into its "nest," able to effortlessly traverse the space and appear from anywhere.

"Hmm."

"It's been a while; you've taken good care of the Cave Mansion."

Li Ye slowly walked,

and the Spiritual Liquid, like a lake, flowed into his body like rivers converging into the sea. The lingering vapor refracted a resplendent rainbow under the sunlight, enveloping him in an almost divine glow.

He's back.

This Cave Mansion suddenly became lively —

The first to come running was still the Beaver.

Then there was the Bamboo Wood Ant that had built a mobile palace.

Followed by a throng of deer, Flood Dragons, fish…

They surrounded Li Ye in concentric circles.

Their eyes were all sparkling.

It was as if they were about to burst into tears.

"...You guys."

"It's only been over a decade; to your lifespans, it's just the time it takes for a nap."

"Why are you behaving like children?"

Li Ye said this, but still patted each of their big heads equally.

This resulted in him taking a full two hours to finish, and if he had more Spirit Beasts in the future, this time would likely continue to grow.

Once he finished patting all of them, he was finally able to return to his yard, lay down directly on the lounge chair, and a Beaver immediately nudged its way past its usual food and Spiritual Power-sharing siblings to Li Ye's side.

Then it leapt into his lap.

"Phew~~~"

Exhaling a long breath,

its body turned into something like a beaver pancake, sprawling over Li Ye.

Before falling asleep, it didn't forget to hand over the Jade Scroll given by Uncle Master Baishi to Li Ye.

"What's this?"

"Chirp..."

The Beaver was already asleep.

"..." Li Ye helplessly placed the Jade Scroll against his brow, his expression shifting from curious to baffled, then to slightly surprised.

Uncle Master Baishi actually wanted to take these five Beavers as his closed-door disciples!

Oh, no.

In the scroll, Uncle Master Baishi mentioned they would be his "door-locking disciples" — because he had already accepted a talented disciple.

After closing the door, naturally, it must be locked.

It made sense.

Yet these were Li Ye's Spirit Beasts, so he specifically sought Li Ye's opinion. If agreeable, they would be formally recorded in the Celestial Years Cloud Hall of the sect, witnessed by the Deities.

"Door-locking disciples."

In the future, if more were accepted, would they become door-removing disciples, and then the cycle could repeat?

Li Ye put down the Jade Scroll, reached out, and poked the soft belly of the Beaver, speaking gently: "Is your aptitude really that good, to make Uncle Master Baishi lock his door for you?"

In response, the Beaver merely hugged his finger gently with its paw, then continued to sleep deeply.

"Sigh."

Li Ye's expression softened considerably, choosing not to move his finger, allowing it to continue holding it as it slept soundly.

What could he do?

He indeed cherished these little ones who had accompanied him from the start, so naturally, their apprenticeship gifts needed to be thoughtfully prepared.

Moreover, they should be unique and unconventional.

His Divine Sense swept through the entire Cave Mansion instantly, searching for treasures worthy of gifting, finding himself slightly tangled.

Not because there weren't enough items, but because there were too many.

Anything he casually took out from his Cave Mansion could count as a treasure, and an unparalleled, one-of-a-kind treasure at that.

Gourd? Honey? Tea leaves?

After scanning through, he finally set his eyes on that piece of Spirit Land, eternally bathed in moonlight, always falling with snowflakes, and exuding the Power of the Great Yin.

Uncle Master Baishi specialized in Artifact Refining.

How about giving him a few fire seeds?

Moon-controlling Spirit Fire seeds, should count as one-of-a-kind treasures, right?

As he pondered, the eager voice of the Spiritual Mechanism Vine echoed.

"Are you going there?"

"I'll take you over!"

Suddenly, the space around gently twisted.

In the next breath, Li Ye's lounge chair appeared directly on thick, two to three-man-deep snow; had he not reacted promptly, he'd likely be buried, bewildered.

"Pfft rustle."

Beside him, the Glazed Ice Needle Pine discharged a large flurry of snow like it was startled, which Li Ye intercepted with one hand.

"Sigh."

"Can you please pay attention to the surrounding environment next time?"

"My apologies."

The apologetic voice of the Spiritual Mechanism Vine resonated.

Li Ye, his lounge chair enveloped in Spiritual Power, was lifted from the thick snow. He shielded the Beaver with one hand, sat up, and gazed ahead.

There, on the snowfield afar, were patches upon patches of Silver Moon Grass sown, between which were numerous Flint Fire Crystal Insects wriggling warmly, easing in the cooling snow.

Producing the "sizzle" of melting snow and emitting wisps of mist.

Amidst the swirling mist, the vapor would condense into icy fog, refracting the moonlight above, rendering the entire land dreamlike, as if in a different world.

"Hmm?"

"They..."

Li Ye suddenly sensed something.

He almost urgently left the lounge chair, tucked the Beaver into his pocket, and went over to the initial five stalks of Silver Moon Grass.

Lowering his head,

he could see below those Silver Moon Grass, quiet and standing red-gold seedlings in the snow.

Just now, this place was enshrouded by a power that even his Divine Sense couldn't detect. Now that he was truly here, he found out.

The original Flint Fire Crystal Insects that granted him his first pot of gold.

They had already begun evolving, or rather, transforming. They were injecting their entire life force and vitality into the seedlings' roots.

Two of them had already completely lost their vitality.

The other three weren't in great condition either.

They were on the verge of dying.
