Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 102 Trigger

"These old men from the Lan family, with their meager fortune, are trying to get me involved in the Luo family and Pingyang Mountain affairs. I used to think they knew their limits... but now it seems I was too polite to them!"

A hint of coldness flashed in Li Ye's eyes.
"Forget it. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I'm sure they won't dare to bother me rashly... If anything happens again in the future, it will be even easier for me to turn against them!"

The legal contract he and Lan Xinyi signed contained no provisions for taking care of the Lan family, other than jointly maintaining the safety of Changcui Mountain.

In the past, it was fine that I could still squeeze something out of them, but now they dare to go even further. If I don’t show some respect to them, I’m afraid they won’t be able to tell what situation they are in now!

"But I didn't expect things to develop like this..."

Li Ye scratched his chin, his expression slightly odd.

The reason why he didn't touch Fei Xing'an was because the other party was sensible and didn't take the opportunity to join the siege. He just left one person to go back and explain the situation, so as to avoid doing something too extreme and offending the mountain alliance.

However, he did not expect that this would further intensify the conflict between the Luo family and Pingyang Mountain that had accumulated for many years.

If things continue like this, the Luo family and other clans will probably fall out with Pingyang Mountain soon.

"If we can find Taoist Heimu, this matter might be resolved... but you should just call it quits!"

Li Ye thought decisively.

I would rather die than let my fellow Taoist die. Even if they use their stupid brains to cause chaos in these red mountains and lands, Li Ye can still be self-sufficient and practice in seclusion with the help of the formation and his current savings.

But if someone really discovered that he was Taoist Heimu, Changcui Mountain would inevitably be in turmoil for a period of time, which would affect his cultivation, wouldn't it?
What's more, Li Yetong is good at formations and making talismans, and is kind to others, while that Taoist Heimu is domineering and has a strong body. No one can connect the two of them together!
Even if those families had some backup plans for the items they were selling, as Li Ye brought them into the Green Vine and Green Wood Formation, with the weak boundary isolation, none of them could be effective.

Unless Li Ye self-destructs, this Taoist Heimu is destined to disappear from the world and no trace of him will be found!
“But then again, unless the Luo family can also produce a Foundation Establishment cultivator, no matter how much trouble they cause, Pingyang Mountain still has the final say in this Red Land Mountains…”

Li Ye sighed deeply.

At first, he was able to kill the monk named Ding by taking advantage of the other party's underestimation of him, and he was prepared to escape immediately if he failed to strike him.

In another situation, if any Foundation Establishment cultivator was on guard, attacking with Qi Perfection would make it difficult to kill him, not to mention winning...

Unless he has more second-level talismans than Li Ye has, or a talisman treasure, it is basically impossible to do it!
Looking at the situation where a group of Qi-cultivating cultivators in the Red Mountains are fighting each other, Li Ye doesn't think they have the foundation to do that.

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of the second-ranked Chang family of Dengjinshan.

I heard there's a small section of a second-level spiritual vein on their mountain...

If they also hid a foundation-building cultivator to be the sixth, then the situation would be completely different!
His eyes flickered slightly, but Li Ye was too lazy to think about it anymore.
"You can make as much trouble as you want, as long as it doesn't interfere with my farming!"

As he spoke, he had already passed through numerous formations and entered the acre of second-level spiritual field.

Every time he completely closed the Green Vine and Green Wood Formation, he must have been practicing or taking care of the farmland.

When I came back now, the spiritual field had changed a lot.

In the field divided into three parts, more than half of the ground dragon ginseng, Mingxin flower and Baiyin fruit have been planted. At first glance, there is finally a sense of abundance.

Spiritual plants such as Baiyin Fruit, which are more suitable for the environment of the barren mountains and easier to find, almost filled up the more than three-tenths of land.

"Hmm... With the blessing of these two entries, the seedlings I brought back this time are growing quite well..."

"Cultivate them for a while longer, and when their vitality has accumulated to a certain level, you can divide them again... This way, you should be able to plant all the land!"

Li Ye carefully inspected the condition of each spiritual plant, nodding with satisfaction. He then took out his tools, along with the prepared fertilizers and spiritual fluids, and began to meticulously care for each one.

Speaking of which, the [Absorption] entry has already shown initial results. The earliest spiritual medicines planted are now adaptable to various fertilizers, and their status and medicinal properties do not seem to have changed significantly.

After the next division and planting of the entire acre of land, Li Ye estimated that he could remove the isolation formation and take care of the three in the same way...

By then, there will be fewer restrictions, and the spiritual plants will be able to absorb more fertilizers more efficiently. I hope they will grow even better!
However, it takes longer to accumulate the vitality of the second-level medicinal power. Li Ye kept dividing the spiritual plants as soon as their conditions improved slightly, so he had not received any spiritual energy feedback in more than a year.

In his opinion, this is no problem. After the fields are covered with crops, wouldn't it be even better to harvest them one by one?
Thinking silently, Li Ye felt helpless.

"Hmm... the only regret is that the [Wood Spirit] entry is useless for these three spiritual plants. The Earth Dragon Ginseng is of the Earth Element, the Inscription Flower is of the Yin Element, and the White Bound Fruit is of the Yang Element. They are completely incompatible!"

"If you want to see how effective this thing is, I'm afraid you can only look at the Evergreen Flower..."

After finishing the work of the entire acre of land, even though Li Ye was now so tired that he was sweating and gasping for breath, he felt fulfilled when he looked at the spiritual plants all over the ground.

His path to foundation building is steadily advancing. When these spiritual plants mature, he will be able to take that step!

………………

Time passes day by day.

More than a month has passed since Luo Qie died at the hands of Taoist Heimu, causing the Luo family of Woyun Mountain to be furious.

The spring snow melted, and the temperature in the barren mountains rose rapidly, but the atmosphere outside became increasingly grim.

A group of families headed by the Luo family nominally asked for permission from the alliance and formed a joint search team.

A large-scale search was carried out in and around the Red Mountains. Except for some dangerous places that were difficult for Qi-cultivating monks to approach, almost every corner of the Red Mountains was searched.

But still nothing!
The Taoist Heimu seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, with no trace left!

Instead, it startled many hidden robbers and caused many conflicts with the joint search team.

Although the Luo family and the families that joined the search eliminated most of the robbers they encountered, they also lost a lot of family members.

As a result, the anger in his chest grew deeper and deeper, with almost no place to vent it.

Today, the joint search team is still continuing its operations, but it seems that the purpose has changed from the initial search to venting anger and making money.

The robbers hiding in this place were either killed or fled in this short period of time, and the public security environment in the Red Mountains seemed to have improved greatly.

But in this process, some innocent monks were forcibly beaten and killed just because they had a slight quarrel with them.

It can be said that no one dared to stop him when he was rampant, which made a group of independent cultivators silent and they went out less frequently!

No one knows how long this situation will continue.

Until the news suddenly came out that a monk on a certain hill had a conflict with the search team and was killed on the spot by them.

It was like a fuse, pushing the matter to another climax.
