Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel-Chapter 211 - 154: Potato Flood Dragon Promotion, Moon Liquid Pearl Quest Reward
Li Ye took a deep breath.
A completely new crop that has undergone preliminary experimentation.
What is needed now is to leave the sect and conduct a second round of experimentation in broader lands and more complex environments outside.
If it can truly be widely disseminated in the cultivation realm, with such characteristics, who knows how many people it might save.
It seems that the Qi fortune alone would be enough for Li Ye to forge a golden body.
Li Sui also felt a sense of joy, as this crop was cultivated in an experimental field of their Enlightened Race; once it spreads in the future, their reputation will certainly accompany it.
"I need to report to the sect, and ask Sect Leader for review."
Li Ye seriously told Li Sui, "If Sect Leader agrees to spread it externally, generally five marketplaces will be chosen as trial points. I will designate three, the remaining two will be up to your Enlightened Race."
Upon hearing this, Li Sui’s eyes brightened.
Don’t underestimate the allocation of just two trial points; it represents a completely new crop, likely attracting many cultivators eager to use personal connections.
Li Ye has indeed given the Enlightened Race a generous gift!
Li Sui suppressed the throbbing in his chest, his face showing gratitude:
"Thank you, Taoist Friend Li!"
"Our Enlightened Race’s Spiritual Bamboo at Treasure Nest Mountain has developed some special mutated species. If you’re interested, I’ll bring some for you later."
Li Ye flashed a knowing smile: "Agreed, agreed. But let’s wait until this matter is settled before we discuss future things."
"Naturally."
Li Sui led Li Ye through the Enlightened Race’s teleportation array, watching as he headed towards the Steward Hall.
And he couldn’t wait to bring the good news to the eagerly waiting elders.
...
Inside the Steward Hall.
Li Ye had barely submitted his application when he was brought to Four Seasons Peak, where the Sect Leader resides.
Coincidentally, his guide was none other than his Spiritual Mechanism Vine senior brother.
Senior brother bounced ahead to lead the way, not forgetting to explain to Li Ye:
"Master submitted plenty of proof from Spirit Plant Hall when you were over at the Enlightened Race."
"The crop you’ve cultivated is both a Spirit Beast and a Spirit Plant. Although Spirit Plant Hall has given its approval, Beast Taming Hall’s True Man will surely inquire about it later.
But as long as your crop is indeed viable, they won’t obstruct you, as it would also benefit the sect."
"Now, the path ahead is yours to take."
Spiritual Mechanism Vine senior brother straightened up, pointing to a cloud-enshrouded hall ahead, standing in place: "I’ll wait for you here."
Li Ye suppressed a trace of unease in his heart.
The True Men he met before were all amiable, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t be nervous meeting one of the most powerful sect leaders in the cultivation realm.
Fortunately, his psychological resilience had been well strengthened.
He nodded to his senior brother with a smile: "Rest assured, I naturally came prepared. Look forward to my good news!"
With that, he turned and walked steadily, his figure gradually vanishing into the mist.
Once his silhouette disappeared, Spiritual Mechanism Vine surreptitiously took out a mirror, turning to the appearing True Man Suoxing within, and questioned:
"Considering your concern, why not accompany him? With you present, neither Sect Leader nor Beast Taming Hall’s True Man would object."
True Man Suoxing, holding a big fish joyously, replied:
"I foresee more occasions in the future when your junior brother will meet the Sect Leader. I can’t possibly accompany him every time; it would be akin to babysitting."
"Moreover, I leave you here precisely to oversee developments over there."
A shimmer of starlight overflowed from the mirror.
It swirled the mist, transforming into a Cloud Mirror, within which scenes of Four Seasons Hall were vividly displayed.
Spiritual Mechanism Vine glanced at it and promptly startled upon seeing Sect Leader staring from within, quickly ducking aside to sneak a peek.
This sneaky appearance left the Sect Leader speechless.
But as the Sect Leader of Four Seasons Sect, he soon recovered, gazing authoritatively at Li Ye:
"Both I and Junior Brother Zhao have reviewed your records."
"I’ll dispatch someone to inspect the site, and if it’s as you’ve claimed, then it can be promoted externally."
Saying so, he glanced at True Man from Beast Taming Hall, lightly clearing his throat: "Junior Brother Zhao, do you have any objections?"
True Man Zhao ponderously said, "I’m considering whether we can recruit him from Spirit Plant Hall to our hall."
"..."
The Sect Leader’s expression briefly cracked, couldn’t help but feel a headache.
Suoxing’s spirit pet is watching!
Are you genuinely unafraid of provoking trouble? Why must I always mediate these childish disputes?
Thinking like this, he said, "Nephew Li indeed has talent, whether in the way of Spirit Plants or Beast Taming, he has made considerable achievements. Why not pass on some true teachings of Beast Taming to him?"
The Sect Leader thought, the conflicts between you are your own affairs, such a promising seedling should not be confined to a single tradition. After all, you’ve fought quite a few times already.
True Man Zhao suddenly clapped his hands: "That’s right."
He immediately turned to Li Ye, smiling kindly: "You are an Inner Sect Disciple of the sect and have rendered such great service; the sect should reward you.
How about this.
You must be practicing the Five Elements Spirit Ascension Technique, right?
I will teach you a magic technique that can only be learned after achieving Golden Core. First, lay a solid foundation, anyway, you’re not far from Golden Core either."
After speaking, a Jade Scroll fell into Li Ye’s hands.
Li Ye blinked, somewhat dazed. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
——Before coming here, he was worried whether the Sect Leader would be too strict, if the True Man of Beast Taming Hall would find fault, and it turns out just like this?
But holding this Jade Scroll felt like having a hot potato.
His own master can only and must be True Man Suoxing.
This was beyond doubt.
He opened his mouth, True Man Zhao just waved his hand: "This is a reward from the sect, after you reach Golden Core, the Five Elements Spirit Ascension Technique still requires the assistance from Beast Taming Hall.
I do envy the old fellow Suoxing, but I won’t force you to betray your master.
Alas, it’s a great regret in life that such a talented and beautiful jade cannot be personally taught!
That old fellow!"
True Man Zhao bit his teeth resentfully, storming out.
Li Ye was very puzzled, but the Sect Leader was clear that over there was where Suoxing’s Cloud Mirror was opened, and he felt he indeed needed to quickly solve the matters here and then go to watch the drama while playing mediator.
"Nephew Li."
"Didn’t you have a task about Silver Moon Grass and Moon Liquid Pearl before."
"Yes." Li Ye’s heart tightened, could it be that wandering outside and returning late in spring has affected the task?
The Sect Leader’s words instantly made him relieved:
"You did well on this task."
"With one hundred Marketplaces carrying a total of seven million Moon Liquid Pearls, and you can get ten Spirit Stones for each one, totaling seventy million First Tier Spirit Stones."
"What do you plan to do with these Spirit Stones?"
Seventy million!!!
Li Ye swallowed hard, worthy of a task that only a Golden Core True Man could do, this one task alone brought in seventy million Spirit Stones.
But the implication of Sect Leader does it mean to have an arrangement?
He suppressed the wild joy in his heart and clasped his hands, saying, "These Spirit Stones were gained through the task my master helped me secure, so I wish to give half of the Spirit Stones to him.
The remaining half... Sect Leader Uncle, would you guide and point out for your nephew?"
Oh?
"Half means thirty-five million Spirit Stones." The Sect Leader smiled: "You truly intend to give them to your master?"
"It was originally a task my master helped me to fight for, let these Spirit Stones be a filial tribute to him." Li Ye replied.
The smile on the Sect Leader’s face deepened:
"Not bad."
"In that case, I do have a suggestion you might want to hear."
Li Ye seriously replied: "Please, Sect Leader, enlighten me!"
The Sect Leader slightly stroked his well-maintained beard:
"Previously, you have handled the Heart Grass well in the Hungry Ghost Netherworld, which is one of the sect’s treasures, and thirty-five million Spirit Stones... are barely enough to buy a seed.
Are you willing?"
Thirty-five million Spirit Stones to buy a grass seed.
This sounds unbelievable, but Li Ye had already witnessed the miraculousness of Heart Grass and knew that it required an extraordinary amount of contribution.
He estimated that only a Nascent Soul True Man within the sect had the opportunity to come into contact with it.
So he answered immediately: "I am willing!"
"Good."
The Sect Leader’s voice suddenly became somewhat ethereal.
From the Heavenly Dome descended strands of white radiance, encircling Li Ye’s body, making him a bit dazed.
When he truly came to his senses, he was already standing outside the Four Seasons Hall, and in his hands, remarkably, was a pure and flawless seed the size of a bean.
It was... the seed of Heart Grass.
