Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel-Chapter 588 - 336: Transaction of the Primordial School (2)
He looked at Li Ye.
The Spiritual Light in his eyes alternated back and forth, hesitating to speak yet eager to do so, as if he had fallen into an extremely bizarre state of "left and right brain conflict."
The desire for knowledge made him want to ask for more, he felt he could swallow incredibly complex knowledge, but instinctively felt it was wrong.
Li Ye quietly watched him.
He did not speak.
As time passed breath by breath, the Spiritual Light entangled in Zhao He’s eyes finally had a result—the Spiritual Light belonging to the Dao had the upper hand.
"Hoo..."
"Hoo..."
"Hoo..."
He gasped several times and suddenly clasped his hands towards Li Ye: "Master, just now your apprentice..."
"This should be the erosion of Demonic Qi." Li Ye waved his hand to signal him to rest well, with some anxiety in his eyes: "I didn’t expect the erosion of Demonic Qi to be so exaggerated, even with the help of the Treasure Lotus Lamp, it still can’t be completely suppressed."
He looked towards Mo Xie and the old man.
Bowed his hands and said: "Please, master’s wife and this senior, teach me!"
There is no shame in seeking knowledge from those below.
The master’s wife did not speak.
The old man, however, said with a smile: "Actually, it’s because the level of Spiritual Power he cultivates is insufficient. In your Tao Furnace Realm terms, it means the rank of this Spiritual Qi is not enough, unable to form a perfectly coordinated flow cycle with the Demonic Qi.
Earlier I mentioned the original magic pattern, you probably heard of it, right?
That’s actually the most pure magic root that only the Demon Race would produce in legends, so... you need Spiritual Qi of a sufficient rank to irrigate it."
He stretched out a white childlike soft palm towards Li Ye, yet it had no palm lines or the like, only a drop of Spiritual Power entwined with Cloud Qi, light as if nothing.
"This thing is Cloud Qi." The old man said with a smile: "Riding the Cloud Qi, commanding the Flying Dragon, traveling beyond the four seas."
"Consider it as an item for our transaction."
"I need you to help me engrave such magic patterns for five people."
Li Ye was somewhat astonished at this moment.
Cloud Qi.
Although the name of this item is somewhat mundane, it is indeed genuine "Immortal Qi", very high in rank, just a wisp of it could help a mortal undergo a rebirth.
"In that case, I shall accept it without reservation." Li Ye took it directly without hesitation and waved to Zhao He: "Come here."
Zhao He felt even more grateful.
He could tell what a valuable thing this was just by looking at it; the master actually gave it to him directly like this. If he didn’t repay him with all his strength, he would indeed be unworthy of being a human!
He quickly sat down properly.
Then he felt a wisp of clear Qi merge into his body, this time forming a perfect cycle with those Demonic Qi—a magnificent interplay of the Spiritual Power with light cloud mist and the deep Demonic Qi that seemed capable of absorbing everything.
Truly splendid and magnificent.
In the instant the cycle was completed, the power within Zhao He began to solidify; the originally flowing power formed the embryonic form of two round Pills in the Dantian.
——This signifies he is about to reach Core Formation.
Well, this is no surprise.
It’s known he has the sap of the Jianmu, the Treasure Lotus Lamp, Cloud Qi, and the Demonic Qi injected by Li Ye within him... If such an abundance of power doesn’t let him form a core, that would indeed be strange.
"Now go out and face the Celestial Tribulation. If you can’t overcome it and need me to rescue you, that would really..." Li Ye didn’t finish the sentence.
But Zhao He understood.
"Yes!"
"Disciple understands."
He could no longer suppress the Spiritual Power needed for Core Formation, hurriedly flew out, standing in mid-air, waiting for the Celestial Tribulation to descend.
Li Ye took only a few glances and then withdrew his gaze.
Then waved his hand to clean up all the debris on the ground, summoned a jade table and stone chairs, and with a gesture invited: "I apologize for the inadequate hospitality, senior, master’s wife, please don’t blame me."
"There’s nothing inadequate about it." Mo Xie didn’t take a seat, instead, she said to Li Ye: "This is Gu Qing, one of the founders of the Hunyuan Sect and also a powerhouse of the Star Beast race."
Actually, the master’s wife didn’t need to say this.
After Li Ye returned to his senses, he had already seen what the panel displayed—
[Name]: Hunyuan Star Beast · Gu Qing
[Mood]: Joyful, Conflicted
[Status]: A beast bred from the Heaven’s Warm Star River of Chaos Outer Domain, its predecessor originated from the Origin Star Divine Water brewed by the techniques of Star-shifting and Mediation Creation.
Each Hunyuan Star Beast possesses a natal star from birth.
Before the natal star falls, they can frequently change bodies, even powerful physical bodies with strong cultivation.
This Star Beast’s natal star is: Tao and Demon Combined.
[Bindable]: Falling instantly upon the Light of Heaven and Earth.
Honestly, this is the first time the panel has given such an abstract binding condition—falling instantly upon the Light of Heaven and Earth, it’s really enigmatic.
But considering the rank of the other party, this seems not excessive.
Gu Qing had no idea that his origins had been seen through clearly by Li Ye, and the smile never left his face:
"Young friend, this old man’s Hunyuan Sect has been devoted all my life to combining Tao and Demon, I spoke with your sect’s Taoists long ago, inquiring about the method of nurturing the demonic seed.
Unfortunately, it’s almost impossible to find someone who can truly practice this method in millennia, but I did not expect you, young friend, not only to learn the method, but also to acquire the original magic pattern, which is truly enviable.
You are truly a youthful genius, even I am a bit envious of Little Star... oh yes, that’s your master!"
This person first praised him furiously.
Then stated the purpose of this visit—
"I would like to establish a high tower of the sect here at the Four Seasons Sect, where my disciples will study the mysteries between Tao and Demon with you. As a trade, the various Divine Techniques and Magic, and even resources we control will be open to you."
Hmm, that is indeed a high price.
It’s known the Hunyuan Sect has collected countless volumes over thousands of years in the Chaos Outer Domain, even more than the Four Seasons Sect, for the latter focuses more on cultivating the Tao Furnace Realm.
And the Hunyuan Sect... being both Tao and Demon, sometimes their thunderous means are so explosive that they would illuminate a certain world’s ocean by drawing the sunlight to obliterate that hopeless world.
So Li Ye had no hesitation.
"Of course you may."
"However, I am not sure what cooperation is expected of me? I do have numerous tasks at hand on usual days, if they are rather complex tasks, then I truly won’t be able to cooperate."
It’s natural to speak frankly first.
But Gu Qing was not bothered, he directly said: "You can rest assured, young friend, research takes a long process, I intend to rewrite a technique that allows cultivators to simultaneously practice Tao and Demon without using magic patterns.
From the most basic meridian expansion to the subsequent various breathing methods all need thorough research, and also the various treasures that match the cultivation techniques, such as Flying Swords that simultaneously control Spiritual Qi and Demonic Qi.
And more..."
The more he spoke, the more enthusiastic he became.
As if he wished to begin compiling the cultivation technique on the spot.
And the person to learn this cultivation technique would naturally be himself—creating a cultivation technique surely needed someone who has learned it, someone who has walked this path, he couldn’t let others walk it, so he had to do it himself.
Finally, he suddenly looked towards Mo Xie: "Then I shall undergo a rebirth, and this body should serve as a reward for your Four Seasons Sect.
As for the reward for Friend Li, this Sun might still not be enough, it depends on how you handle it behind closed doors!" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
As soon as he finished speaking.
He just threw his head back.
And his whole person lost all breath.
This humanoid body gradually began to transform and finally became a rather strange beast, seemingly similar to a Taotie.
On the top of this beast’s head.
A baby, standing unsteadily broke out of the skull, and once on the ground was elongated by the wind, in just a few breaths it transformed from a baby into a robust teenage boy.
Apart from the oddity of being naked, he was indistinguishable from the Human Race, if not for the hint from the panel, even Li Ye’s Divine Sense wouldn’t be able to discern he... was a Star Beast.
Truly an extraordinary Divine Technique.
