Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 110 Li is willing to serve the leader!

Damn it! I'm only a year or two away from completing all my accumulation, why do you have to bother me now?

Li Ye cursed in his heart, but with a nervous smile on his face he asked Luo Feibai,

"Brother Luo, you and I have become quite friendly over the past few years. Could you please tell me a little bit about why the leader summoned me here?"

Although Li Ye was a little impatient about this, he was only asked to come over for a chat, so he would not disobey the order.

He has had a good reputation in the alliance over the years. Apart from being cautious and unwilling to leave the Changcui Mountain formation easily, he has also helped some mountain masters in the alliance solve formation problems, so he is considered harmless.

Even if Taoist Heimu's identity is exposed, there will be no conflict of interest with the alliance.

After all, when they discovered that the sacred place they had guessed was actually Changcui Mountain, they were probably speechless!
It was precisely because of these prerequisites that Li Ye dared to come here, not afraid that Pingyang Mountain would hold a Hongmen Banquet for him.

Luo Feibai, who came to invite him, looked at him like this and smiled.
"Brother Li, don't panic. The Alliance Leader summoned you here just to make use of your mastery of formations. This is a great thing!"

"If you can succeed, there will be a huge reward from the alliance. Even I, Old Luo, am a little envious!"

Luo Feibai spoke in a low voice, with a hint of excitement on his face.

"Then I'll be relieved..."

Li Ye cooperated and became more suspicious.

With Luo Feibai's cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi training, he is definitely a top-level person in Pingyang Mountain. In fact, he is only below Xu Pingyang and Xie Yushu, so he can know many secrets.

Even he was faintly excited. This matter was probably not a small matter...

…………

"Li Ye greets the leader!"

In a study, Li Ye bowed to Xu Pingyang, who was concentrating on writing something behind the desk.

"No need to be polite, get up..."

Xu Pingyang said this without even raising his eyes, and continued to write carefully, stroke by stroke.

Li Ye stood up and glanced at Luo Feibai, but the other party shook his head, indicating that he should wait patiently.

Fortunately, Xu Pingyang didn't make him wait too long. In less than a cup of tea, he put down his pen and slowly looked up at Li Ye.

At this moment, he was slightly stunned, and then his spiritual sense swept over Li Ye, and his expression changed from surprise to appreciation.
"Li Ye, you've already reached the ninth level of Qi training... and you've already broken through to the late stage in just two or three years. Your aptitude is quite good..."

"It's just that I rely on the sacred land of Changcui Mountain to be able to cultivate at such a speed..."

Li Ye said modestly.

Xu Pingyang looked at Li Ye deeply. "You still look quite young. How old are you now?"

Li Ye said, "I am twenty-nine years old. My appearance has not changed. It is just because I know some health preservation methods and I took a youth pill in the past."

"Twenty-nine years old... You're still many years away from the point where your Qi and blood will decline. Perhaps there's still a glimmer of hope for building a foundation... You're truly remarkable!"

Xu Pingyang said this calmly, and it was hard to tell what emotion was in his tone.

"Foundation building is so difficult, and the spiritual objects needed for foundation building are all priceless. But I don't dare to think too much now..."

Li Ye said cautiously.

At this time, Luo Feibai and Xie Yushu on the side looked at Li Ye with a bit of shock in their eyes.

Especially the former.

Li Ye had almost reached the eighth level of Qi training at the same time as him, so how come he had already made another breakthrough just two years later?!

Moreover... there is hope for building a foundation. How enviable it is to hear this!

Luo Feibai is now 42 years old. If he has the support of the alliance, he may still have a chance to practice to perfection in Qi training before he reaches the age of 50 and his Qi and blood decline, and try to build a foundation... But even so, how can he compare to Li Ye, who is still young and has plenty of time to seek spiritual objects for foundation building and make sufficient preparations!

Thinking of this, a hint of jealousy appeared in Luo Feibai's eyes.

Instead, Xie Yushu and Xu Pingyang looked at each other, with more fear in their eyes.

The cake of the Red Mountains is only so big, and it is not enough for them to share now. If Li Ye can really build his foundation, he will probably come to snatch the meat from them... How can they be willing to see this!
However, compared with the threat that Li Ye may bring in the future, the things that are happening right now are more important.

Xu Pingyang didn't exchange pleasantries with him any more and said directly,

"I summoned you here today to utilize your attainments in formations... I've heard from many fellow Daoists in the alliance that you've reached the top level of the first rank. Is that true?"

Li Ye nodded, "Indeed, the fragmentary diagram of the formation given by Brother Luo was quite inspiring to me!"

Luo Feibai immediately revealed a smile that was a bit proud.

Xu Pingyang nodded and glanced at Xie Yushu, who then said,

"If I could give you a fragment of a second-order formation diagram, could you find the loopholes in the simplified formation and crack it?"

"This... I can only confirm it after seeing it."

Li Ye answered cautiously, his thoughts already shifting.

I heard that the formation used in Dengyun Market was simplified from a second-level formation by the Tu family formation master...

Although its power has not reached the second level, it is still stronger than the ordinary first-level formation. Even if one wants to break it with the help of the first-level forbidden-breaking talisman, it will take some effort.

Previously, the Dengyun Market had used this as a publicity stunt, saying that this place was far safer than the Sanhui Market.

The second-level forbidden-breaking talisman is of great value and has never appeared in the red land and mountains, so it is impossible to waste it here.

After wasting so much time, Xu Pingyang finally lost his patience and was ready to tear his hostility apart and simply get rid of Dengyunfang City?
Listening to Li Ye's words, Xie Yushu looked at Xu Pingyang again.

Xu Pingyang said directly, "Give it to him!"

Xie Yushu took out a jade slip, but before handing it to Li Ye, he said,
"You must swear not to tell anyone about what happened today, but if you succeed, you will be rewarded handsomely!"

At this point, even if Li Ye said he didn't want to do it, they wouldn't let it go. And if things turned out the way he thought...

I can help with this one!
And he can get the second-level formation diagram for free, isn’t that great!
He made a decisive vow, took the formation diagram from Xie Yushu, and studied it carefully.

The other people in the room remained silent and just waited patiently.

Half an hour passed like this, and Li Ye suddenly looked up. "This formation has many flaws. If I want to find the loopholes... it won't be difficult!"

Suddenly, smiles appeared on the faces of the other three people present.

"But I still need to take a look at the simplified formation to find its weakest point..."

Li Ye looked at their slightly changed expressions and asked with a smile,

"I wonder where that formation is?"

Since Li Ye had already made a vow to his inner demon, Xie Yushu simply said,
"It was right there in Dengyun Market... The Chang and Luo families rebelled against Tiangang, daring to compete with us for profit. They even sent people disguised as robbers to Sanhui Market to deliberately sabotage it, causing heavy losses to many of our allies..."

"We can't keep such ambitious people any longer!"

"So that's what it is..."

Li Ye seemed to be thinking about something, but immediately nodded excitedly.

"Li is willing to serve the leader!"
