Integrated with nature, growing up with the nature is a symbiosis of humanity and nature.
Indeed, in the world she came from, people only began to pay attention to the term GongSheng, later learning to read "symbiosis" after experiencing extreme stress aweather caused by greenhouse gas emissions and geological disasters resulting from resource exploitation. "Symbiosis" is a biological term used to describe the mutual relationship between two different species. In mutual symbiosis, they depend on each other and benefit from their relationship. This is crucial for maintaining the balance and stability of ecosystems in the face of the impact of human society on the natural environment.
Xiang Bei didn't know how much longer this alternate world would continue to develop before people noticed that the stars were diminishing and the sky was becoming increasingly gray. However, she hoped that through her efforts, she could engrain the awareness of symbiosis with nature into the consciousness of every resident of Yunmeng, hastened by the accelerated resource utilization and urbanization processes due to her arrival.
As this idea became exceptionally clear, she suddenly felt a tremendous vibration of energy waves in the space. Without control, she was sucked out directly from the hot spring and taken into the Jade Snowflake Cave. The air vortex poured out milky-white mist like a downpour, filling the dry pond below, yet still endlessly accepting, neither overflowing nor diminishing. Xiang Bei sat cross-legged, her clothes fluttering without wind. The Qi within her body rushed out from the Dantian, freely flowing along the meridians before overflowing, spiraling upwards like a twist of rope, gathering in the Qi vortex above.
Time passed, and it was only when the mist in the Jade Snowflake Cave gradually subsided, and the energy waves stabilized, that Xiang Bei's Qi flow gradually separated from the vortex. True Qi retrogressed hidden within her Dantian. At this moment, she had unexpectedly broken through the three stages of Qi cultivation - initial, middle, and high, becoming a Qi sect practitioner stepping into the Nascent Soul Stage with one foot. She would be a real airbender after the Infant of Qi formed in her Dantian.
Xiang Bei looked out of the cave, and the mountains and rivers were still hidden in the white mist. However, now it looked like viewing distant mountain scenery through a thin veil, somewhat ethereal, but still able to see the undulating mountains and shimmering lake.
When a white tiger appeared in the cave with a long-haired white fox in his mouth, he looked extremely pleased.
"White tiger? When did you turn white? And shrink? Little tiger king, Did you drink too much of this milk and have side effects? Or is the sunlight UV in this space not enough, causing you to fade? Where are your black stripes? Why are they gone? But you look a bit petite and charming, I like it." Xiang Bei jumped over, hugged the white tiger, and started kneading him, running her hand over his fur, and even drew three horizontal and one vertical lines of the Asian word "king" on his tiger head, as if to draw the missing black stripes.
"Roar—" With a deep roar, Xiang Bei lifted her head in the direction of the sound, and her hand that was stroking the tiger's fur stopped. Who was that proud and slightly aggrieved big black-striped white tiger over there? Was that her little tiger king? It looked very familiar, yes, the mighty and tall body, the affectionate little eyes that she cherished, and the clear and distinct king character on its forehead. This was her little tiger king. Then, then, then, who was this little white creature she was currently playing with? How could there be a completely unfamiliar beast in her space? And the white fox, a fox? She didn't remember ever capturing a fox!
"Xiao bai, little white? That's too rash, is that even a name?"
"You've faded too, so why not call you little white?" Xiang Bei unconsciously muttered in her mind, a conversation? How could there be someone talking to her in this space? Xiaobai? Baihu, white tiger? How could she be talking to a tiger? Xiang Bei was so shocked that her mouth opened into a perfect circle, and she was petrified.
"It's me, I am the realm spirit in this mountain and river ancient jade. Your idea of symbiosis with nature unlocked me because my name is GongShen, means Symbiosis. This white fox is called Jade Marrow. It's the cave spirit nurtured by the core of the space formation, Snowflake Cave, for thousands of years. We can all connect with your consciousness. Stop looking so clueless, and remember that in this space, you can contact me for anything you need through your consciousness. None of the previous owners of the jade pendant could unlock both of us, so we acknowledge you as our master. Alright, we've been trapped for too long. Jade Marrow is going to the deep mountains to see how many generations of offspring have emerged over the thousands of years. The wild and unruly ones are disrupting the energy flow in my space. Oh, right, the silly and clumsy white tiger, I promise to keep you by our side. Let's go." GongSheng finished speaking and then left with a flick of his tail. The three, enm, three beasts, suddenly disappeared in front of the dumbfounded Xiang Bei
Q qat the edge of the dense fog.
This is madness, madness, she's losing her mind. Can't think straight, can't think straight, oh well, forget it, forget it, let's not think about it. So what if there are two more weird white beasts? I'll deal with you later. Take my little tiger king away? Fine, take him. Such a heartless little traitor. Hmph, My Little Momo is still waiting for me outside, I have someone to accompany me too, hmph!
"Little Momo? Calling so sweetly, shameless. Always trying to please him with food and drink every day, who's accompanying who?" came a mocking voice from the GongSheng in the consciousness.
"How... how can you pry into my inner thoughts?" Xiang Bei realized it was the voice of the white tiger and felt embarrassed and annoyed.
"Because you mentioned me in your consciousness, even though you were cursing me. As long as you don't mention us, and unless there's a need, we won't pry into any of your privacy." This time, the symbiosis GongSheng sounded very serious and respectful.
Tong XiangBei couldn't argue with that, so she just stomped her foot in frustration and left the space, rushing towards Cheng Mo who was standing by the window, gazing at the east.
