Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel-Chapter 386 - 236: Seven-star Writing Bamboo, Improved Successfully
Then try grafting with Emotion Song, Wuyou Grain Storehouse, and Yuansheng Deer Blood...
The result.
Succeeded very smoothly.
——The star rings of seven Wenxing Bamboos merged into one.
Seven different colored Star Stones spun brightly, and under the support of the seven Wenxing Bamboos, they directly formed the outline of the Beidou Seven Stars!
[Name]: Beidou Wenxing Bamboo
[Mood]: Depressed
[State]: After being washed with Beidou Star Spring water to purge all vitality and the ill-fated life despised by the Celestial Dao, it is a spiritual plant unified into one through the special divine techniques of "Nine Songs Mountain Ghost".
It can freely appear in any world except the "Bitter Journey Literary Realm" and help cultivators refine and extract their own Literary Qi.
[Bindable]: Literary Qi Dragon Turtle
"Is it done like this?"
Li Ye took a deep breath and without hesitation requested another batch of Literary Qi Dragon Turtles and Wenxing Bamboos.
Then he began his official retreat for cultivation.
He planned to distinguish between the Wenxing Bamboo with Seven Stars Unification and the Wenxing Bamboo bound with the Literary Qi Dragon Turtle, presenting the former first and then the latter.
However, this required thorough stabilization.
After all, it was resolved not with a panel but through the Mountain Spirit’s magic, he needed to ensure that this graft was flawless before presenting it.
By the way, he’d also transform the Ten Thousand Sinking Bamboo and Jingmo Moss.
Just consider it an extra surprise, as transforming these things indeed didn’t cost much effort.
...
At this time outside.
Mr. Di Sui, who was having tea and chatting with True Man Suoxing, received the news:
"Your disciple requested another batch of Wenxing Bamboo and Literary Qi Dragon Turtle."
"Is that little enough?"
He was not worried about Li Ye using too much but rather too little, wasn’t he?
The first time he asked for a total of seven thousand bamboos and seven turtles.
The second time he asked for fourteen thousand bamboos and forty-nine turtles?
Although the price for externally selling Wenxing Bamboo is ten thousand Spirit Stones per plant, and Literary Qi Dragon Turtle is basically not sold to the outside world, this is too little, right.
If he can solve the shortcomings of Wenxing Bamboo, it doesn’t matter if it’s needed a hundred or even a thousand times more.
"That’s why I say this kid is frugal."
"You see, he hasn’t even asked for other things, just a little of these items."
True Man Suoxing calmly replied: "Alas, we are only planting whatever Grotto Heaven or Small Thousand World, indeed we can’t compare with your old self sitting in the greatest academy in this world."
"Bitter Journey Academy’s business is doing too well."
"There’s no comparison, no comparison."
This sarcastic tone almost made Mr. Di Sui spit out his tea.
He said curiously: "If you want to say something, just say it directly, why the sarcasm? Someone clueless might think you’ve learned the divine techniques of those frauds from Qiongguan Mountain."
Although as a "scholar," Mr. Di Sui’s favorite thing was to be pedantic and bury seventy or eighty traps in a discourse, he would still be speechless when others directed sarcasm at him.
True Man Suoxing knew that once was enough with sarcasm, so he straightforwardly said:
"Wenxing Bamboo involves the academy’s research on the Southern and Northern Grotto Heavens, which were initially brought from the Upper Realm by the academy’s founder and are the true grotto heavens nurtured by the Southern and Northern Star Clusters."
"Isn’t it too little to only give our Li Ye this small reward?"
"This matter?" Mr. Di Sui shook his head helplessly: "You, you, how could I let your disciple suffer with me here?
Moreover... this kid has connections with Sister Miao Du.
Even Long Master Xianghuai would give your disciple face.
So you rushed here because you feared Li Ye would suffer?"
"That might not be certain."
True Man Suoxing waved his hand: "Mr. Di Sui, anyway, I need a promise from you."
"The benefits for my disciple shouldn’t be reduced, and you also need to make efforts in collaboration with the Four Seasons Sect."
"Alright."
Mr. Di Sui shrugged casually.
"I promise you."
"But how long do you think your disciple will take to accomplish this great work?"
He clearly didn’t feel forced or troubled, his tone was very natural.
After obtaining Mr. Di Sui’s assurance, True Man Suoxing visibly relaxed, leaning back in the lounge chair, staring at the sky:
"Maybe just a few years."
"Don’t you have those Divine Techniques, sir? Putting me to sleep should be easy."
"..."
Though helpless, Mr. Di Sui still waved his hand.
Countless ginkgo leaves fluttered down.
Within each leaf was a slice of historical visions.
The impact of tens of thousands of leaves finally occupied True Man Suoxing’s mind, causing him to fall into a deep sleep amidst the chaotic assault.
Mr. Di Sui sighed softly.
Nowadays, no calming method worked on Su Xing anymore. If he wanted Su Xing to rest, he had to use the impact of thousands of pieces of information to allow Su Xing a brief respite.
And this sleep.
Lasted a full ten years.
...
"Is it done?"
"Ah? This..."
Upon receiving the news, Zhuge Ce rushed over immediately.
He actually saw the brand new Wenxing Bamboo holding up the Beidou Seven Stars.
The starlight was completely different from before, filled with a kind of unending Spiritual Power, instantly exciting his expression.
"Brother Li." He solemnly cupped his hands: "I need to take this object back..."
Before he finished speaking, several halos lit up beside him.
Paintings, chessboards, writings, zither music...
Several different Spiritual Lights directly tore through the void, and from within, four cultivators dressed in various attires at the Nascent Soul level emerged.
"Greetings, Four Gentlemen!" Zhuge Ce hurriedly cupped his hands in salute.
These four were the Four Gentlemen of the academy’s zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting paths in this generation. Their personal arrival was essentially equivalent to the arrival of the headmaster.
"No need for formalities."
Chess Gentleman among the four smiled warmly, looking at Li Ye: "My unworthy disciple befriending Friend Li is truly the only correct decision of his life."
The "unworthy disciple" naturally referred to Lv Qingge.
Hearing this, Li Ye also responded with a smile: "Chess Gentleman’s praises are too lofty. Being able to befriend your esteemed disciple is indeed a matter of fate."
Qin Gentleman lightly plucked the zither strings, the melodious zither sound echoing in the air, her voice like a celestial melody, isolating external peeping.
She slowly said: "Friend Li Ye, this mutation of the Wenxing Bamboo is of significant importance. The four of us, by the order of the headmaster, have come to inspect."
Painting Gentleman also nodded, saying: "Indeed, the transformation of the Wenxing Bamboo is extremely important for our academy."
Book Gentleman, holding an ancient book, solemnly said: "Friend, we will bring this object back for the headmaster and Mr. Di Sui to review. Please stay here for a few more days. Once its perfection is confirmed, there will be a grand reward!"
Although the four maintained a gentle demeanor, their expressions were clearly somewhat urgent, enough to prove the importance of the matter.
Li Ye knew they would certainly need to verify it, so he said straightforwardly: "Alright."
Saying this, he blinked.
"Just right, during my leisure time, I also cultivated some mutant varieties of Ten Thousand Sinking Bamboo and Jingmo Moss."
Oh?
This was truly an unexpected delight.
The Four Gentlemen exchanged a look, and finally, Chess Gentleman spoke: "Friend is truly exceptional in the path of Spirit Plants. Improving the Wenxing Bamboo while also having the energy to cultivate Ten Thousand Sinking Bamboo and Jingmo Moss."
Li Ye modestly gave a slight smile, saying: "It was just a small attempt during the relaxing times while perfecting the Wenxing Bamboo, to relieve boredom. I never expected to actually achieve results."
"..."
Are you saying that you casually tinkered with them in your spare time and mutated the Ten Thousand Sinking Bamboo and Jingmo Moss which have been known for ages?
When it comes to pretense, the scholars of Bitter Journey Academy are exemplars—hearing this made them quite helpless. You might as well boast directly; being so unremarkable made them feel even worse.
It truly makes one feel inadequate by comparison.
They would reprimand their disciples upon returning!
Chess Gentleman, seeing his friends’ changing expressions, felt no discomfort because, though Lv Qingge was like a stray compared to Li Ye, at least Lv Qingge knew to befriend Li Ye.
He continued, "Then I’ll stay here to look at Friend Li’s cultivation results of the Ten Thousand Sinking Bamboo and Jingmo Moss. The rest of you should inform the headmaster and Mr. Di Sui."
The others had no objections, exchanging pleasantries before leaving, taking Zhuge Ce with them.
Only Chess Gentleman remained, elegantly observing Li Ye.
This gaze...
Was indeed quite familiar.
To avoid Chess Gentleman from saying anything about taking a disciple, he quickly extended an invitation: "Gentleman, please come in."
For some reason.
He always felt that if Chess Gentleman mentioned taking a disciple, both he and Chess Gentleman would be very unlucky...
