Symbiotic panel, I am cultivating immortality in the world of immortality

Chapter 325 Fox Den, Earthly Wish Cave
"I don't intend to kill you."

Li Ye bent down.

I gently stroked the little yellow dog.

The panel takes effect immediately——

[Name]: Yasha Bone Spirit Dog_Jia Ling
[Mood]: Fear, anticipation

[Status]: A spirit beast created using the secret technique "Heavenly Marrow Transformation Method" of the Gnostic School. It uses the bones and meridians of a Golden Core Yaksha and possesses the ability to conceal its spirituality.

[Can be bound (to the Dao)]: Any spiritual plant with the power of salvation.

[Can be bound (demon)]: Any spirit plant possessing the power of hell.

Therefore, these two binding methods are...

Using the bones and meridians of a Yaksha as a base, and filling it with the soul of an ordinary spirit beast, even if the latter still holds the dominant position, this sense of rejection between the body and the soul will last for a very long time.

It's fair to say that the little guy is now trembling, unable to distinguish whether it's from pain or fear.

Even more tragically, although its soul is that of a normal spirit beast capable of enjoying sunlight and rain, the Yaksha's bones and meridians are completely unable to live in the sunlight, making it impossible to take it away.

"Woooo..."

The little yellow dog whimpered as Li Ye stroked it, then suddenly bit his finger. The teeth of the Yaksha were exceptionally sharp, and even the soul and avatar could feel the sting.

—It is attacking Li Ye.

It certainly knows the "consequences" of doing so.

But it did it anyway.

"..."

There is something to say.

When you are weak enough, even resistance is adorable.

Moreover, this guy did this because he wanted to be free, so Li Ye couldn't bear it and picked him up.

It’s time to say it or not.

The methods of the Gnostic school are indeed remarkable.

Judging from its appearance and feel, it was no different from an ordinary dog. Its fluffy and warm yellow fur made Li Ye, who already loved spirit beasts, very satisfied.

"That's all."

He just couldn't bring himself to do it.

This is a typical example of what to do if the body is sinful but the soul is pure. The Gnostic school has done this kind of thing before to disgust people.

Perhaps most people cannot solve this problem.

But he's different; he can handle these kinds of things with ease. Whether it's letting its soul begin its next life as a dog in the underworld, or using a symbiotic binding method, he can solve the problem.

In his view, choices like those don't even exist.

He is able to achieve the results he is most satisfied with.

So he casually placed his hand on the yellow dog's head, and used the Five Elements Spirit Control Technique to form a chain of the five elements on its body, forcibly turning it into his own spirit beast.

Then I randomly picked a spiritual plant with the power of salvation and bound it to it.

The result.

On the head of this little yellow dog, a deep golden lotus flower appeared. The lotus flower gently sprinkled a golden halo like quicksand, slowly but firmly dispelling the Yaksha power within its body.

As time goes by, the power belonging to the Yaksha will be completely purified, and the little yellow dog will naturally be able to enter the sunny world. Moreover, after such purification, the hidden dangers buried by the Gnostic School will no longer have any possibility of erupting.

"That would make everyone happy."

Li Ye nodded in satisfaction and was about to go find more prey to collect ashes when the little yellow dog suddenly started barking at him.

While calling out, it also jumped and hopped around.

It seems like it wants to take me somewhere.
"Well……"

He thought about it for a moment, then decided to follow them.

As a result, he followed the yellow dog for a while, and it suddenly squatted down and started digging a hole, and soon dug out a... dog hole.

Strange light shimmered from inside the dog hole, and fox fur was scattered around...

"Wait a minute, what's this?"

Li Ye's pupils contracted. It was clearly the fur of the Earth Wish Spirit Fox, and the radiance within it... was extremely similar to the light of the Lotus Lantern.

So this isn't a dog hole but a fox hole?

Li Ye, who had initially been uninterested, suddenly became interested—if the topic of catching foxes came up, he wouldn't be sleepy at all.

However, before going in, he carefully set up some formations and then called over his third senior brother, who was happily collecting various rare materials.

The latter was slightly taken aback when he arrived.

Then he exclaimed in surprise, "The cave of the Earth Wish Fox? You're quite lucky to have found their cave."

It should be known that these peculiar spirit beasts are the darlings of the earth, and the earth itself possesses certain caves and tunnels with extremely special spatial power, some of which are even impossible to capture or detect.

This is why the Earth Wish Fox clan has repeatedly escaped and even caused a lot of trouble in many places.

Each sect had considered various methods to capture them, but strangely enough:
The earth dotes on them immensely, something even the Four Seasons Sect, a sect that cultivates the Great Dao of Nature and can mold the earth into its own shape, cannot do. Other sects are naturally no match for them either.

As for their fox dens, they have only been discovered nine times so far. Although a few foxes have been caught, they are still far from their main dens.

So, is this cave the main abode of the Earth Wish Fox?

……

A small yellow dog walked into a narrow cave filled with all sorts of intricate rocks and vine roots.

It was very timid and hesitant, or rather, it was like a dog acting furtively.

Although the cave was not dark at all—the surrounding rock walls were covered with various spiritual plants that emitted spiritual light, and the various colors of light intertwined to form a magnificent spiritual light like a rainbow.

The colors are vibrant yet not at all glaring.

Li Ye, who had shrunk down and was hiding in the thick fur of the little yellow dog, looked out and exclaimed in surprise, "The spiritual plants here actually form an array, and a very high-level one at that."

Chen Mo also emerged from the fluffy fur beside him, now quite contentedly nestled in the soft fur, his expression unusually relaxed.

He put his hands behind his head, lay down in the fluff, and casually asked, "How special is it?"

"..."

"Anyway, it's very special. The spiritual light emitted by the spiritual plants here blends together, and it's no worse than our spiritual garden techniques."

That is indeed very special.

The method of making the spirit garden mainly relies on the special properties of "Tianlu Dingmu". Its all-encompassing nature is similar to that of Jianmu. You only need to set up an array inside it to achieve perfect harmony.

Of course, it is also feasible to do this in the outside world.

However, when it comes to costs and expenses, things get very complicated.

"Is it possible that this place is actually a formation similar to your Dingmu formation?" Wei Qingye also crawled out.

"It's not impossible."

Li Ye looked around.

The three of them were hiding in the little yellow dog's fur, so they didn't have to worry about being discovered by the outside world.

After all, who knows what the situation is like here? If we accidentally alert the fox after entering, it would be troublesome.

The three of them continued their discussion.

Xiao Huang walked forward slowly, pretending to be timid and hesitant.

Fortunately, the road is not long.

After passing through a cave entrance hidden by lush green grass, the view suddenly opened up before us—the glow of a rainbow cascaded down from the sky like a waterfall to the ground.

The iridescent light spread across the entire land as far as the eye could see, and the air was filled with shimmering spiritual energy like ripples on water. Various exotic flowers and plants grew there, and even some unseen spiritual beasts flew freely.

Surrounded by a dazzling array of colors and a refreshing, invigorating fragrance, Li Ye felt somewhat... intoxicated.

"Wow, the level of this cave heaven must be close to that of a Grade A cave heaven. The Earth Wish Foxes have really found a good place."

Chen Mo couldn't help but marvel.

—A Grade A Grotto-Heaven can basically be called a self-sustaining miniature world, and it is not something that can be seen often even within the Four Seasons Sect.

"Yes, this cave alone is worth a fortune, not to mention the many fine treasures here." Li Ye glanced at it, and the information displayed on the panel appeared in his mind.

Among them are even quite a few fifth-tier spiritual plants.

He was quite envious and wanted to collect them all.

But soon.

A figure, or rather, a fiery red fox, suddenly emerged from the side and spoke in human language to the little yellow dog:
"You were... a perpetrator, weren't you?"

"How pitiful, using a Yaksha's bones, you must be in a lot of pain."

"Sigh, I think I'll just let you off the hook."

As it said this, it waved its long tail, intending to burn the little yellow dog to death.

This made Li Ye and his group very uneasy.

The three exchanged thoughts for a moment.

"Do it!"

Li Ye unleashed a rain curtain that blended into the surroundings, while Chen Mo took out several of his treasures to reinforce the rain curtain, ensuring it wouldn't be discovered by outsiders.

As for Wei Qingye, he naturally jumped.

The sword seized the red fox, its sharp blades swirling around its smooth, supple fur, posing a deadly threat.

The poor red fox didn't even realize what was happening.

When it came to its senses, it could only feel that the three Golden Core cultivators around it were watching it with their divine sense and gaze, as if they had thoroughly examined it from the outside in.

It didn't even dare to move.

He pleaded pitifully, "My lords... I'm just a ginseng farmer, could you please spare me... no, I'll take you to the ginseng fields for a look?"

As a ginseng that has been peacefully nurturing itself in this grotto since birth, it has never encountered such a situation before.

The very few pieces of news we heard from the outside world were brought back by our seniors.

Having been bullied by those noble fox clan brats all the time, it could only deal with this situation in its usual way—"I'll give you the ginseng I've worked so hard to grow."

"...Why does he seem so simple-minded?" Wei Qingye said with a look of disdain.

"Maybe it's because they haven't encountered anything like this before."

Li Ye reached out and poked it, saying directly, "Tell me everything you know, or I'll just search your soul. You choose one."

The reason he didn't directly search the soul was because he saw that the guy's aura was not chaotic at all, and there was even some spiritual light from plants and trees.

This means that it has never killed any living beings.

If it were someone with a murky aura, he would have searched their soul without saying a word.

The red fox was so frightened that it tucked its tail in.

He hurriedly said, "But... I have the clan leader's seal within my consciousness. If I speak, no... I'll die before I even speak!"

As it said this, tears actually started to flow.

"Seal?" Chen Mo stretched out his finger and pressed it on its head, muttered a few words, and then casually pulled out a black aura shaped like a fox's head and put it into a jade bottle.

The restriction, which should have triggered an alarm when activated, remained completely silent throughout the entire process.

As a core disciple of the Four Seasons Sect, if he doesn't even have this much skill, he might as well go back to growing sweet potatoes...

"Senior brother, you have truly remarkable skills," Li Ye praised, then patted the red fox's head: "Can we talk now?"

The red fox nodded quickly.

Then he revealed everything he knew.

It was so fast, as if they couldn't wait, or rather, they had been waiting to say these things for a long time.

It's easy to tell from its words that it has been bullied quite a bit and hates those spoiled fox clan members to the core.

They are even willing to betray their own people.

In summary, the message it conveyed was that this was the fundamental grotto-heaven of the Earth Wish Fox Clan, also known as the Earth Wish Grotto-heaven, and that the Outer Realms Spiritual Knowledge Society's stronghold was also located here.

Then there were a bunch of trivial matters, but they were extremely helpful in understanding the place.

After it finished speaking, Li Ye didn't kill it. Instead, he asked with interest, "So you're saying that the bloodline in your body is impure?"

That's really interesting.

The panel clearly shows this guy as the [Ancestral Blood Earth Wish Spirit Fox], but he's bullied by the fox clan's spoiled brats every day because his bloodline isn't pure. Could it be that the fox clan also has something like... a story of a prodigy who reverts to his ancestral form, gets bullied, and then explodes into the pinnacle of fox life?
"Yes." The fox named Di Xia sighed slightly when this was mentioned, instinctively sensing that Li Ye seemed quite easy to talk to.

Then he poured out his grievances: "Because my bloodline is impure, I can only live in the ginseng field. I can't even drink water from the Rootless Spring. The spirit stones and spirit liquids that are given to me have all been taken away..."

Yes, it really is terrible.

But I always feel like this isn't quite... it's more like a children's prank.

Li Ye listened with great interest as it complained about those fox-clan playboys grabbing its tail fur, deliberately overturning its food bowl, and replacing the oil in the lamp...

He used his divine sense to investigate.

then.

He silently summoned a beaver.

The beaver held a lotus lamp in its hand, which seemed to glow eternally.

The moment the Lotus Lantern appeared.

The red fox was stunned.

It stared blankly at the treasure that radiated endless light, its eyes seemingly reflecting lotus patterns... and the faint shadow of an axe.

Even though it was just a phantom, its unparalleled sharpness caused the three Golden Core cultivators to change color.

Especially Wei Qingye.

The sword in his hand was already ringing.

It seemed to want to challenge the axe—yet dared not approach it.

Very contradictory.
