Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel-Chapter 638 - 361: More Happiness Than Troubles (Part 2)
The Sect Leader’s phantom in the Water Mirror was silent for a moment.
During this period, sounds of requests for replenishment could be heard from several Water Mirrors—
"There’s none here!"
"I don’t have any Third Tier Spirit Veins left here."
"The storeroom is also empty!"
The disciples in the Steward Hall were considered experienced and knowledgeable; they had seen many rare events but had never seen such a strange occurrence.
True Man Lingye merely raised his arm, and there’s already such a spectacle?
The Sect Leader observed everything intently and said, "Then open Number 99 Level A Warehouse. If it’s insufficient, open the ones in front."
—The Four Seasons Sect’s treasury is divided into Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, Levels A, B, C, and D. Generally speaking, those above Profound Tier are the sect’s foundation, storing rare treasures and cultivation techniques.
Below Profound Tier, the warehouses store miscellaneous items needed from Golden Core to Qi Refining. For those storerooms, they even chopped some Jianmu and Celestial Years ginkgo branches for making foundations.
The Level A warehouse is the most special.
It connects the upper tier with the lower tier, containing both high-tier and low-tier treasures.
Hence, ninety-nine of them were specifically built, each containing various Spirit Veins at the million level.
The Sect Leader couldn’t truly believe that even millions of Spirit Veins could be exchanged till empty.
That would be absurdly ridiculous; can Li Ye’s resources sustain so many cultivators gathering together?
If people happily take Spirit Veins away only to find insufficient Spiritual Objects, wouldn’t that be troublesome?
He couldn’t help but sigh.
"Alas."
Beside him, Su Xing heard his sigh, glanced at the enthusiastically opening warehouse Hall Master in the Steward Hall, and shook his head, saying:
"How could it be insufficient?"
"Such nascent sea area potential is unlimited, especially the sea area near Ruoquan Island. I had fought for so long to acquire it."
"Luckily, though that rebellious disciple did not manage it properly, his junior brother utilized it well, or I’d be enraged."
The phrase ’rebellious disciple’ is merely spoken in jest.
The Sect Leader didn’t respond, just casually mentioned, "It’s good that Li Ye has such ability, but since he needs Spiritual Qi, why not lend him that treasure temporarily."
Su Xing raised an eyebrow, "Truly?"
"...If you keep up this demeanor, I’ll smack you," the Sect Leader said, his face masked with indifference.
"...Haha, I’m just teasing."
True Man Suoxing immediately became agreeable.
His swift change of expression made the Sect Leader sigh again:
"Aren’t you too old for childish antics that make me laugh?..."
He intended to grumble a bit more but noticed Suoxing had disappeared, leaving a Jade Scroll on the table.
The Jade Scroll lit up automatically.
A voice emanated, "I’m off to discuss Dharma with several fellow Daoists, don’t miss me!"
Sect Leader: "..."
He rubbed his brows, a faint smile appearing on his face, "Smooth talker."
Elder Brother, Elder Brother, the eldest like a father.
The Sect Leader watched Su Xing’s batch of disciples grow up; in a sense, it’s closer than a father-son relationship. He also knew it was due to Li Ye’s many deeds that Su Xing was delighted and lively.
It’s actually quite nice.
...
On his side, his mood was pleasant about entrusting the treasure’s authority to Li Ye, while Li Ye wasn’t very happy.
Because.
The arrivals were a bit beyond imagination.
—One escape light after another fell like shooting stars stretching from land to this place, densely filling the sky and blocking the sunlight.
Such a number of cultivators.
Although materials could sustain their activities, accommodation was a significant issue—it’s not like they could refine alchemy with a pill furnace on-site, hence a quiet room, however small, would be needed for rest.
"What else can we do?"
"Let’s start building."
"Just as well we should establish the prototype of a small Immortal Island. I’ll also try... the Patriarch’s method."
Li Ye seemed quite optimistic.
Respond to changes as they come.
Moreover, transformation is inherently good.
His abilities and skills gave him the confidence to face all changes.
Thus.
The arriving cultivators received new information—True Man Lingye, seeing so many willing to support, specially brought out some rare treasures to host a competition.
The winners could select these rare treasures freely and leave their Spiritual Power on the Immortal Island he established, forming an Immortal Tablet that eternalizes with the sea area.
Once this news spread.
The sea area stirred again.
Who is Li Ye?
So many titles unable to stand down to a crowd; the specially-presented treasures plus eternalizing the Immortal Tablet on the island, are the ultimate temptation.
This time, not only some Four Seasons Sect’s cultivators who initially didn’t plan to involve joined in, but even other sects always curious about what major event Four Seasons Sect was undertaking in the Eastern Domain couldn’t sit still.
Several escape lights arrived from all directions, landing in the guest hall of Four Seasons Sect—these were decision-makers from other sects, representing the Sect Leader in making decisions.
Among them was an old acquaintance from Celestial Vein Sword Mountain.
It was Wei Qingye’s brother—nearly reaching Nascent Soul, he wouldn’t have come out of seclusion if not for this affair.
True Man Wei Canyang still carried the shameless demeanor of being close with Li Ye, saying to True Man Suyu who was entertaining them:
"I don’t care."
"We’re old friends after all, with such a grand occasion, how could you forget about Celestial Vein Sword Mountain?"
"I don’t ask for much, just ten thousand spots."
Su Yu: "..."
Though, ten thousand seems not much.
After all, the disciples heading to East Pole Yang Sea already numbered in the millions, yet the issue is, they didn’t specify cultivation level. Sword Cultivators’ shamelessness could mean thousands of Nascent Souls aren’t impossible...
Well, technically it’s not very likely.
Even though sea area’s Spiritual Objects are unique, not to the extent of attracting Nascent Souls here—at most more Golden Core cultivators.
But the issue is ten thousand Golden Cores are still numerous.
The material consumption and other aspects for Golden Core compared to Foundation Establishment are qualitatively different.
Quite frankly, she hoped her sect’s cultivators gleaned more benefits.
However, this matter was evident to raise the sect’s fame, benefiting both the sect and Li Ye, contributing to increased Dharma exchanges due to more cultivators arriving, evidently beneficial.
The benefits far outweigh the drawbacks.
If well managed, it perhaps could become a regular "Ruoquan Immortal Assembly".
So she quickly comprehended.
After consulting with the Sect Leader and inquiring Li Ye, she narrowed her eyes, smiling like a wavering-tailed pink fox:
"It’s possible."
"But as you all know, we’ve spent considerable resources to help Nephew Li advance to the sea domain. As prominent sects, how about supporting us with some unique treasures?"
"The usual items wouldn’t do, bring rare things!"
With this, she leaned back, clearly showing a posture of having them in control.
Yet.
The multitude of cultivators were indeed persuaded—specifically, they were prepared.
Not being inexperienced sect they fully understood the efforts and resources needed to stage such a grand event, thus not babbling further.
Instantly, they presented their lists.
"Take a look."
"This is our sincerity."
"Our cards laid bare, you can’t fuss any more!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Su Yu examined them one by one.
The materials indeed were unique to various sects with a wide variety and acceptable volume.
The overall value was high.
Being unique, in a sense, allowed flexible pricing.
Evidently, they were prepared from within the sect.
After reviewing, Su Yu straightforwardly nodded: "Ten thousand per sect, Celestial Vein Sword Mountain and Bitter Journey Academy... twelve thousand."
"This was specifically arranged by Nephew Li."
This blatant favoritism made True Man Wei and Mr. Jiang of Bitter Journey Academy laugh.
The True Men from other sects wore expressionless faces.
Even fingers have lengths, naturally, relationships differ in closeness.
Yet.
Admittedly enviable!
