Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel-Chapter 608 - 346: Taiji Farmland, Heavenly Radiance Tribulation Wine (Part 2)
Unexpectedly, this squirrel actually resolved it?
But he still didn’t understand.
He held Grandpa Ginseng in his hand, staring puzzledly at the tooth mark on the latter’s rear left by the squirrel, and strangely asked:
"Why is this?"
"I can feel that the Spiritual Qi it injected is pure, yet it’s nothing special, right?"
Li Ye petted the little squirrel and explained, "The Spiritual Qi flowing within it is the purest and most ancient form.
This qi is the origin of everything in the world today, naturally including Yin and Yang—Spiritual Qi with attributes is not superior to attribute-less Spiritual Qi; in fact, the latter is superior.
Creating from nothing is a difficult task, but reducing from something to nothing is rather simple."
With these words,
He extended his palm.
A giant tree sprouted in miniature from his palm.
This giant tree emanated extremely pure Spiritual Qi, spreading from Li Ye’s palm at an incredible rate, filling the areas around two plots of land, then slowly beginning to reconcile the two different yet fundamentally similar kinds of Spiritual Qi.
And so,
The two kinds of Spiritual Qi began to rotate.
Wisps of black and white qi rose from the ground, carrying an indescribable "herbal aroma" that was both refreshing and pungent, and converged in mid-air.
Finally forming a rotating Tai Chi Bagua Diagram.
Each rotation evenly distributed the Spiritual Power throughout the two plots of land.
The radishes and ginseng within the two plots of land naturally began to change.
The former appeared white and tender, yet its body was as tough as aged, dried bacon, shrinking to only half a person’s height, but now it was red and white, seemingly ready to drip with water.
The latter, always in the shape of a ginseng doll, began to mature at this moment, growing ginseng whiskers and fruits, yet still exuding a youthful appearance with a celestial demeanor.
Upon seeing this change, Immortal Zhao couldn’t help but burst into laughter—he had been nurturing these beings for hundreds of years, and finally, there was change. Poor him, despite being an Immortal, almost all his Spiritual Qi had been used for their growth.
He had neglected his altar, and when discussing with other Immortals in the Altar, he didn’t dare invite them to his place. It truly brought tears to his eyes.
Now, they had finally changed.
Could he finally harvest them and trade for some Spirit Stones, to buy some wine at Lotus Village?
Immortal Zhao’s eyes sparkled.
He smiled at Li Ye and said, "Immortal, this old man knows he is aging and weakening, perhaps unable to care for them, so I was thinking of finding them a suitable master."
Li Ye had not expected him to say that.
He had already considered taking over these radishes and ginseng, given their uniqueness, just unsure how to bring it up.
After all, these were nurtured with care for such a long time by someone else.
But now he took the initiative.
Of course, Li Ye wouldn’t miss such an opportunity, nodding directly, "Immortal Zhao has tended these lands very well, and what you’ve raised is remarkable; my heart has been itching to have them.
Just set a price, and as long as it’s within my power, I won’t hesitate."
Immortal Zhao chuckled, "I just want to trade for some Spirit Stones to buy some wine at Lotus Village, but if the Immortal has fine wine, giving this old man some would suffice.
After all, they can only truly thrive under your care, here they’re merely hindered."
Saying this, he couldn’t help but feel a bit saddened.
After nurturing them for so long, there was naturally attachment.
And to be honest, the squeaky wheel gets the grease—though troubled by them, his heart always remained tied to them, leaving them would surely bring some discomfort.
Fine wine?
Li Ye suddenly thought of the wine he had left in the little world for decades, brewed with the Sea of Learning water of Bitter Journey Academy.
How many years was it supposed to take to brew?
However long, it had been a while.
They say wine becomes richer with age.
Seems it’s time to finally taste this wine.
So while searching, he casually said, "Lotus Village is already mine; you can just mention my name to take wine as you wish.
But since we met, I have an excellent wine, how about we taste it together?"
Are you saying Lotus Village already belongs to you?
Still not comprehending after years of staying in his own altar, Immortal Zhao watched as Li Ye took out a large clay jar wrapped in half a shell.
At first glance, this clay jar seemed rather ugly.
But upon closer inspection, it exuded a gray Spiritual Light and a terrifying power of simultaneous destruction and vitality.
It seemed not a mere clay jar, but a treasure capable of shattering the heavens and earth.
This was the wine jar crafted with Tribulation Ash and the Sea of Learning water at the Academy, then fired in Tribulation Fire, and even contained a "heart" personally placed there by Mr. Xiang Huai, the Academy Supervisor.
With such heavenly treasures, even a pig would ascend.
However, Li Ye had encountered so many good things that he momentarily forgot about this item, bringing it out now, he was quite curious about what the wine might be like.
The squirrel on his shoulder curiously stared at the wine jar, its nose twitching as if already detecting the fragrance within.
Others gathered around.
Among them, Li Xun gazed intensely at the jar, confidently stating, "There should be Compassion Wheat in here; Compassion Wheat of this caliber is rare, how did you cultivate it, senior brother?"
"Um." Li Ye thought for a moment, casually replying while unsealing the jar, "Just plant it in the ground and water it."
"..."
Even with Li Xun’s Qi Cultivation, he nearly lost composure, his expression becoming quite helpless, but he didn’t have time to ponder.
Because once the seal was removed,
Countless strands of Spiritual Light surged from within, as if encompassing all the colors of the world, dazzling and indescribable, instantly filling the surroundings and even the entire Grotto Heaven within the jar.
The rich, fragrant aroma of the wine, intoxicating yet making one feel extremely awake and refreshed, eagerly drilled into noses and even seeped through the body’s orifices.
Upon closer inspection,
It was apparent that the wine aroma and resplendent colors were composed of minute characters, or rather, every character ever existed, alive, swimming and gliding.
Any being that came into contact with these characters, be it the initially Spiritual radishes and ginseng or the various exotic plants throughout the Grotto Heaven, rapidly ascended in spirituality.
Those with a hint of Spirituality quickly transformed into beings with complete intellect, akin to human children.
Even the entire Grotto Heaven was undergoing transformation.
"..."
"How fascinating."
"This is the Academy’s Heavenly Tribulation Wine."
Li Xun, recognizing the treasure, widened his eyes, "Senior brother, how did you acquire the Academy’s Wenxin, without which the Heavenly Tribulation Wine wouldn’t have such extraordinary effects?"
Li Ye blinked, "It was given to me by the Academy Supervisor, I truly didn’t know how special this wine was, since junior brother knows, why don’t you enlighten us?
Let’s discuss while tasting the wine."
He waved his hand.
Instantly, tables and chairs formed from flowers and vines, naturally inviting a few to sit down, especially the trembling with excitement Zhao Hewang.
"Don’t be too overwhelmed, when fate comes, just let it flow naturally."
Only then did Zhao Hewang quickly calm down.
He glanced at the extraordinarily colorful, constantly shimmering Heavenly Tribulation Wine handed by Li Ye, feeling like he was dreaming.
He was actually fortunate enough to drink with an Immortal, truly like the ancestral grave emitting blue smoke!
And the others, impatient, already downed their drinks in one gulp.
Li Xun’s face immediately turned red.
Yet he didn’t forget to explain the wine’s origin —
"Legends speak of the dawn of heaven and earth..."
