Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 307 Accumulation
The term [nourishing] is very interesting.

For Li Ye, it can dissolve external forces, and both good and bad seem to become softer and easier to absorb.

For external use, it can also be used to grow and refine poisons, making their effectiveness far beyond ordinary knowledge.

It seems that he has made some progress in plotting against people.

"But this is just a supplementary method... Now that I don't even have a single third-level poisonous grass, considering this seems a bit redundant."

Li Ye complained.

At present, this [Nourishing] can only enhance the nourishing effect of the spiritual plants in the fields to the users. However, we can first see how different its specific effects will be on the disciples in the mountains.

It’s not too late to try again when we have a suitable poison in the future.

However, if this characteristic is combined with [Celestial Phenomenon], I wonder if it can further enhance his ability to resolve thunder tribulations...

Let’s start with two more entries.

The spiritual plants that were planted when the foundation was being built decades ago have finally been harvested today.

Taking into account the various entries, spiritual essence and experience points obtained from farming in recent years, even though Li Ye is staying in a resource-poor place like the Four Kingdoms Cultivation World, his cultivation has not fallen behind at all.

Instead, he is improving at an unreasonable speed. Even though his cultivation is still at the early stage of Golden Core, his combat power is much stronger than when he faced the demonic disaster that year!
If he were to deal with Wu Yuan again, even if he did not take advantage of the demon's teleportation to launch a sneak attack with the Qingmu Divine Light but faced him head-on, Li Ye was quite confident that he could kill him.

And it’s not over yet.

It is estimated that by the next round of harvesting the second-level spiritual fields, the solidification progress of the entries fed back by the five types of spiritual plants in the third-level spiritual fields will also be completed, and then there will be another round of improvement.

At the beginning, there was not much obvious feedback, but as time went by, the rewards became more and more intensive and rich.

It directly led to an essential improvement in Li Ye's qualifications and combat power.

Li Ye's feeling of this kind of cultivation characteristic of Tian Xiu, which is to accumulate knowledge over time and then develop it into a breakthrough, became more and more profound.

"Even with the blessing of the entry, the spiritual plant's growth rate is far beyond the ordinary. This is not just a simple accumulation of strength. Even if my life span is not lacking, at this pace, my cultivation speed will probably far surpass that of my peers..."

"Unconsciously, I seem to be able to truly be called a genius or even a prodigy?"

Li Ye smiled easily.

So far, his qualifications still have considerable room for improvement, and it is not the time to be self-indulgent.

………………

Knowing that it would not be long before the third-level spiritual plants completed their entry accumulation, Li Ye took even more care of them.

It’s just that he hasn’t had the chance to complete this round of harvest and make further progress in his strength.

More than two years later, some unusual movements in the Myriad Beasts Mountains were gradually noticed by many forces below and reported to Pingyang Mountain.

"The monster beasts outside the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range are much more active than before, and their range of activity is gradually expanding outward. The monster beasts' aggressiveness has significantly increased..."

"The number of casualties among monks who went into the mountains to gather and hunt has also increased significantly, causing considerable losses to the surrounding markets..."

Luo Feibai reported to Li Ye in detail with a solemn expression.

"According to past trends, it's indeed time for the number of demonic beasts in the mountains to reach a certain limit. This situation is very likely a precursor to a beast tide... Mountain Master, should we prepare for this as soon as possible?"

"Also, envoys from Feiyu Sect, Zixuan Sect, and the Wu Kingdom Loose Cultivator Alliance have arrived, bearing gifts and hoping to meet you."

As mentioned before, the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range stretches across the edge of the four kingdoms’ cultivation world, with the Huan, Yue, and Wu kingdoms bordering on it.

Although these countries' territories provided a frontier, the Red Land Mountains were also adjacent to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, so they had to be on guard. More importantly, Li Ye was one of only two Jindan Zhenren in the Four Kingdoms' cultivation world, and he was also recognized as the most accomplished person in the Four Kingdoms.

Pingyang Mountain also has stable interest relationships in various places and generates profits every year.

Except for Qiandao Water City, which now has a golden elixir, the other three countries adjacent to the Wanshou Mountains do not have any golden elixir cultivators.

Faced with such a situation, their resistance was indeed weak.

If we really can't resist it, and the beast tide sweeps across the country, it may be more troublesome than a demonic disaster.

When things got to that point, Pingyang Mountain naturally couldn't remain unscathed.

In this case, whether in terms of morality or interests, Li Ye naturally has some responsibilities and needs to come forward to take charge.

Of course... if no third-level monsters appeared, he wouldn't have to take action, as those sects would have been able to handle it on their own.

Listening to Luo Feibai's report, Li Ye sighed and said with some ridicule,
"This incident has given Qiandao Water City some peace of mind... As long as the ones blocking the way don't fall, it won't be their turn."

Luo Feibai raised his eyes with a strange expression on his face. Are you planning to force them to do hard labor?
But Li Ye waved his hand.

"The beast tide is a serious matter. You should arrange your defenses carefully... As for the envoys sent by the three sects, there's no need to meet them!"

"They're just asking for help. I'm aware of this. Let them go back and make preparations. If a third-level monster really appears, I'll certainly help them."

This would be considered as the utmost kindness and their previous filial piety would not be in vain.

Luo Feibai had long been accustomed to Li Ye's behavior, so he immediately took the order and left to deal with the various chores.

………………

At this time, in addition to the active monsters on the edge of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, there seemed to be unusual turmoil.

One of them turned into black gas and passed through the increasingly active groups of monsters in the mountains, quickly escaping towards the four countries' world of immortal cultivation.

The faint aura he exuded was already at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, but facing the mountains behind him, he actually seemed to be fleeing in panic.

"To think that we'd run into this beast herd unrest right here, about to trigger a beast tide... Such bad luck! Is my Illusion Demon Sect truly at the end of its rope?"

A slightly old voice in the black air cursed in anger and grief.

However, his speed of escaping after turning into black gas did not slow down at all. In a flash, he rushed out of the mountains and forests, disappeared into the sky and fled into the distance.

However, the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range is now attracting attention from all sides, and all parties are monitoring its movements day and night without stopping for a moment.

There are even many foundation-building cultivators who are personally in charge, and the requirements are more stringent than before.

No matter how fast this person flew, it would be impossible for him to hide the noise from the many spies outside the mountains.

Soon the relevant information was delivered to Li Ye.

"Another Jindan cultivator?"

Li Ye raised his brows slightly, "Why would you risk crossing the Myriad Beasts Mountains to come here at this time?"

He would never have thought that someone would be so unlucky. When he entered the mountains from the southern border countries, it was still relatively stable, but after crossing the top of the mountain and coming to the four countries, he fell into an increasingly active group of beasts.

There is no other way to retreat except to rush out of the mountain!
"Judging from the characteristics of his escaping technique, could this person be looking for Zhan Xinrui?"

Thinking of this, Li Ye simply called Luo Feibai.
