Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 168 Tiger Demon
[......]
[You harvested the second-level spiritual plant [Green Rice], your understanding deepened, and your spiritual essence solidified by +0.1%...]
[[Qingxuan Lingyun] is 100% solidified and converted into the corresponding entry...]
[Your skill [Planting] gains the second-level enhancement of the [Vitality] item!]
[[Vitality (Level 2)]: The vitality of the spiritual plants you personally planted and cared for will be stimulated to the maximum extent, becoming strong and vigorous, and the efficiency of accumulating life essence will be significantly improved.]
Vitality! See the vitality entry again!
This entry was obtained by Li Ye, and it was also an important means for him to win Ji Qing's attention, become his spiritual farmer, and earn his first pot of gold.

Even the fact that he was able to successfully grow the seeds of the Sky Realm Tree and truly possess a spiritual root of heaven and earth that belonged to him, and thus embark on the path of spiritual practice, was also due to this entry!

"Second-level Vitality Entity... Is there any spiritual plant in this world that I can't grow?"

A hint of amusement appeared on Li Ye's face, and confidence inexplicably surged in his heart.

Although his spiritual plant technique was only at the upper second level, the effect of the blessing terms made him inexplicably feel that it was not impossible to give the fourth level spiritual plant a try!
But joking aside, Li Ye was still a little confused.
"But even at level 2, this Vitality attribute still doesn't work on my main body... How exactly do you determine who this attribute is effective on?"

"It can't be that the easier it is to obtain an entry, the higher the level it must be to bless me, right?"

After all, the entry [Tongtian] obtained from the spiritual root of heaven and earth, the Void Realm Tree, is only level one, but it can directly take effect on Li Ye himself.

Thinking of this, Li Ye's thoughts suddenly stopped.

Could it be that the conditions for obtaining the entry that can be applied to himself require the unique spiritual entry from the spiritual roots of heaven and earth?

"If that's the case, this is a bit too difficult..."

Li Ye rarely showed a bitter smile.

It is so difficult to find the spiritual roots of heaven and earth.

Even the Sky Realm Tree he has now was obtained by chance, and it was even just a seedling!
Apart from this Void World Tree, the number of spiritual roots of heaven and earth in this world is probably no more than the number on the palm of your hand!

"Forget it... I don't even understand the reason behind it. Whether it's the terms that bless me or the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, I can only let it go. There's no point in getting entangled..."

Li Ye shook his head and opened the panel casually.

……

In the past year, in order to gain something as quickly as possible in the lava underground palace, Li Ye used all the experience he gained to improve his formation skills. With the help of the second-level formation inheritance, he finally achieved a breakthrough.

After reaching the intermediate level of the second stage in formation attainment, both the construction of safe zones by integrating large formations and the ability to crack complex formation restrictions have been greatly improved.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that this year would not be enough for him to pass through the numerous obstacles so quickly and reach the ruined Examination Hall and the Mechanical Pavilion.

This time, Li Ye has gained something from it... Apart from the spiritual object that he hopes to obtain, he has no need for this lava underground palace for the time being.

The deeper he explored, the more densely distributed the third-level and possibly fourth-level formations he saw.

Even if there are puppets as an expedition team, the risk of being triggered is too high. If a chain reaction occurs, I am afraid that even if the main body is in the safe zone, there will be nowhere to escape.

Restrain the greed in your heart.

Until his own cultivation level has improved substantially and he can escape more efficiently, he has no intention of going any deeper, but will continue to explore the surrounding area at the current depth.

In this way, he can go to many areas with the core disciple token. Li Ye's current attainments in formation are almost enough for the time being, and there is no need to focus on improving it.

"Then the next thing to improve is the alchemy and puppets..."

Li Ye's main source of income now lies in the art of alchemy, providing him with sufficient channels to attract others to sell the spiritual medicines he needs before the many spiritual plants in his spiritual fields are ready for use in alchemy. It also serves as a means for him to refine the elixirs he needs for his own cultivation. With the spiritual essence of the main ingredient now scarce and Qingxuan spiritual essence serving as a substitute, the only way to achieve more Danwen spiritual pills is to improve his own attainments in the art of alchemy.

There is a time bomb in the lava underground palace hidden under the red mountains, which really makes Li Ye feel a sense of urgency. He dare not be vague when it comes to improving his cultivation.

The attainment of puppetry is closely related to the Tiangong Sutra. If one wants to complete the creation of one's own natal puppet as soon as possible, one naturally has to improve this skill first.

As experience points were invested one after another, Li Ye enjoyed the surge of spiritual light, which turned into foundation and made his own craftsmanship level rise rapidly.

When I came to my senses, all my previous doubts suddenly had different answers!

"My natal puppet refining plan can now be finalized..."

Li Ye looked comfortable, with a hint of familiarity.

After the upgrade, the proficiency required for the two skills will increase significantly.

[Second-level superior elixir (0/9w)]

[Puppet Level 1932 Medium (4/w)]

"Having reached this point, I can put my alchemy skills aside for now... With the experience gained from farming, I can consider upgrading my other skills to the upper second level first..."

Li Ye makes a decision about future promotion.

After all, the world of immortal cultivation has yet to hear of any master of alchemy who has developed a pill that can help with pill formation.

If he wanted to increase the success rate of forming a pill, he had to seek the help of the natural treasures created by heaven and earth, which would be enough for him to build his foundation and practice alchemy. He did not need to improve his alchemy to the third level in advance as he did when building his foundation.

At this moment, Li Ye's expression changed slightly. He opened the formation channel and collected the storage bag full of spiritual rice, and walked towards the palace on the top of the mountain.

……

"I am deeply grateful for your protection and for allowing me to recover in your place until now."

Yang Yuqing bowed slightly with a look of gratitude on her face.

This time she did not wear a hat and changed into a beautiful dress. She was no longer in the no-entry policy she had when she attended the auction before, and she looked like a fairy from the mortal world.

But before he could truly bow down, he was held up by a powerful magical force and was forcibly helped back.

The woman's expression changed slightly, and she looked surprised. "Friend Li Daoyou has such a profound cultivation..."

She had established her foundation many years earlier than Li Ye. Although her cultivation was still in the early stages, she had accumulated many years of practice.

Now I see, how come I can't even compare to Li Ye?!

However, the more this happened, the more certain she became of her original intention and she was extremely happy.

"Fellow Daoist Yang, there's no need to be so polite. What happened back then was just a piece of cake..."

Li Ye did not respond, but just smiled and said politely.

However, Yang Yuqing said with a serious expression,

"Friend Li is a righteous man, but I am not one to be ungrateful..."

"I heard that fellow Daoist had won the Myriad Beasts Body, a secret body-refining technique, at an auction... and I happen to know the location of a second-level tiger demon. The essence and blood of this demon beast is perfect for laying a foundation..."

"I am willing to join forces with you to eliminate it. All the materials of the tiger monster will belong to you. I will only take one spiritual herb from its nest and ask you to make an elixir for me..."

"I wonder what Fellow Daoist Li thinks?"
