…………

Before receiving feedback from the Sky Realm Tree, the several acres of spiritual plants planted this year had already been harvested.

In the past year, Li Ye gained a lot of experience points from farming, but apart from improving his planting skills to the second-level intermediate level, the rest of the experience points were all used in the art of formations.

Planting skills are the foundation of all skills, and formations are an important guarantee for Li Ye to farm with peace of mind!

Improving their skills and improving the Green Vine and Green Wood Formation and the various formations on the mountain as much as possible is also a top priority.

At least until it is upgraded to the second level, Li Ye should not switch to anything else.

After his planting skills reached the intermediate level of the second stage, he was able to take care of the nine hundred plants of the main foundation-building medicine after planting them in an acre of spiritual field with ease.

Now, with the effectiveness of the [Absorb] entry, it has been successfully achieved that three spiritual plants with completely different habits can be cultivated and cared for in roughly the same way.

The speed at which it accumulates vital medicinal power is much faster than usual. Although it has only been given spiritual essence once now, the corresponding feedback and gains should increase considerably starting next year!

That is to say, he still needs to make a distinction between the needs of sunlight and lunar sunlight.

Of course, these are not the main points...

Li Ye’s purpose of checking the panel is still to check his own spiritual roots!

His attention fell directly on the spiritual roots column, and he was shocked to see that his low-grade earth and wood spiritual roots had now become medium-grade!
"[Tongtian] entry..."

Li Ye murmured softly, "It really showed me a way to heaven!"

He looked up at the clear sky, his eyes faintly revealing excitement.

"From now on, the most difficult hurdle on the path to foundation building has been overcome... At least this level of realm is now a smooth road for me!"

………………

The changes brought about by the improvement of spiritual root qualifications are extremely intuitive.

The same elixir, when refined, will have different effects on increasing mana in the body.

Since Li Ye reached the second level of alchemy, refining Qingmu Pills has become easier. The quality of the pills he obtains is even better, and their effect on improving his magic power is even greater.

By the way, during the past two years of refining, he gradually figured out the reason for the extra pills.

It is nothing more than that with the help of spiritual essence, it is more convenient to refine the elixir with earth fire, the loss of medicinal power during the quenching and fusion process is greatly reduced, and there is additional supplement.

With the balance of this extra medicinal power, extra pills will naturally be produced from time to time!
With such assistance from many parties, Li Ye, who originally needed to accumulate a certain amount of magical power, has made rapid progress in both daily practice and taking elixirs since his spiritual roots were upgraded to the middle grade.

It was originally estimated that it would take at least a year to break through the bottleneck. But within three months, during one day's practice, Li Ye habitually took a three-striped green wood pill to continue accumulating mana. As a result, it directly caused a change in mana, successfully breaking through the bottleneck and reaching the ninth level of Qi training!
"hiss……"

Li Ye looked at his hands, silently feeling the increasingly profound magic power in his body, with a surprised and complicated expression on his face.

"This...is this a breakthrough?"

Having gotten used to the crappy cultivation speed and difficult bottlenecks of low-grade spiritual roots, Li Ye found it a little unbelievable for a moment!

But the power he held was real, and it quickly brought him back to his senses.

"With this rate of progress, I'm afraid it will only take two or three years for me to achieve a breakthrough, reach perfection in Qi training, and then directly refine pills and try to build a foundation!"

At this moment, an absurd idea suddenly came to Li Ye's mind.

With such a short period of time, if his cultivation has reached perfection by then, the spiritual essence fed back by that acre of spiritual field will not be enough to refine the foundation-building pill...will it affect the improvement of his magic power?

This is a bit funny!

That day, Xiong Li was tending to the fields and chatting with Fang Ze from time to time.

Suddenly she looked up at the sky and said in a low voice,

"Fang kid, do you feel like, staying in this formation, you're getting further and further away from the outside world..."

"So, Aunt Xiong, do you feel the same way?"

A hint of surprise appeared on Fang Ze's face, but he immediately replied solemnly in a low voice,

"Perhaps the master has improved his formation skills and is adjusting this formation to increase its power..."

"This kind of thing isn't something we can discuss, so let's not talk about it anymore... Just know that working inside should be getting safer!"

After his reminder, Xiong Li almost covered her mouth with her blood-stained hands. She looked around quickly and breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see Li Ye.

She quickly whispered back, "You're really smart..."

"Oh right! I heard that the Chang family of Dengjin Mountain and the Luo family of Woyun Mountain seem to be planning to join forces to open another market. They have already selected a site and started mobilizing people to start work. It should be open soon..."

"There will surely be a lot of good stuff there. How about we go and take a look together?"

As they are lucky enough to work under the same mountain master, they naturally have a lot of interactions on a daily basis. Now that a new market has been opened, they might attract robbers if they are not careful.

In this way, these low-level monks will travel together and take care of each other, which will be safer!
Fang Ze thought for a moment and nodded, "Let's go and take a look together..."

……

On the slope of Lingtian Mountain, Li Ye completely blended into the shadows of the trees, as if he didn't exist. He just stood there silently watching the two people chatting, nodding his head.
"Now, the combination of the array's transformation and the weak power of the realm is enough to produce a real effect..."

"After I incorporated the fragments of the formation diagram into this Green Vine and Jade Wood Formation, although it still relies on the blessing of the Sky Realm Tree, its essence has indeed reached the second level..."

"However, the spiritual veins here are limited to only the first level. If you want to exert the second level, you must significantly narrow the coverage area. Only then can you gather spiritual energy and temporarily evolve the power of the second level..."

"Given the current situation, it should be enough!"

While thinking, Li Ye thought of the market jointly opened by Chang and Luo families, and frowned slightly.
"After Xu Pingyang slapped them last time, how come these two families are so quick to become dishonest..."
