Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 143 Clean Food
Hua Hua Hua——

The roots surged, gathering the soil and completely swallowing up the charred remains.

Li Ye patted the thick trunk of the Sky Realm Tree with a gentle smile on his face.
"I've harvested two more Foundation Establishment Stage fertilizers, and there's even an old man in the middle Foundation Establishment Stage. This should be enough for you to grow even further..."

The Sky World Tree swayed gently, and seemed to have grown a little bit.

Compared to when it just broke through, the growth rate of the Sky Realm Tree rooted in the second-level spiritual vein has become faster.

It hadn't been long before it had grown several meters. Li Ye estimated that once the two foundation-building corpses were completely digested, its height would probably reach more than 30 meters, and its magical powers would also be further enhanced.

[The fourth-tier spiritual plant [Jianmu subspecies·Sky Realm Tree Strain] that you are connected to has grown, its understanding has deepened, and its spiritual essence has solidified by +0.1%...]
As the tree grew, a panel prompt appeared in front of Li Ye.

In recent days, the Sky Realm Tree has given very few feedbacks to this solidified spiritual essence.

Li Ye estimated that if this frequency remained unchanged, it might take at least ten years for the other party to completely complete the solidification of the spiritual essence and obtain the second-level [Tongtian] entry.

This is not a problem considering his current lifespan. There is always plenty of time, so he can just take it slow.

Although mid-grade spiritual roots are of no help in breaking through the Golden Core stage and may even hinder one's progress, their negative impact on cultivation in the Foundation Establishment stage is limited, and there is no problem in practicing with them for more than ten years.

However, it is worth mentioning that since he started feeding the foundation-building fertilizer again, the frequency of feedback has become significantly more frequent.

Obviously, for cultivators, the Sky Realm Tree is also a great tonic!
"But I can't become a robbery cultivator just for this and kill other foundation-building cultivators..."

Li Ye shook his head helplessly, "It's just a little more feedback once or twice. It's not worth taking such a big risk!"

What's more, most of his strength now comes from the many abilities brought by the Hundred Arts of Cultivation. Although he cannot be said to be weak, his own cultivation is still at the bottom among the foundation-building cultivators.

There is a lack of sufficient adaptability.

Unless you carefully set up traps to lure people into them every time, you never know when you might fail!

Being a steady person like him, he would never do such a thing.

Now all three foundation-building masters of the Ma family have died at his hands. Instead of dwelling on such matters, it would be better to go there as soon as possible and take all their assets into his pocket!

Compared with the ancestor of the Ma family, Ma Yuquan's storage bag disappointed Li Ye even more.

Apart from the spirit stones and his top-grade jade bottle magic weapon, there is almost nothing else that can really catch his eye!

These two people are exactly the same. Neither of them carries any secret skills or inherited arts. It seems that they both have stored all the classics in the family collection.

From this point of view, it also indirectly proves the cohesion of the Ma family.

However, even after killing two foundation-building cultivators, he still didn't get any corresponding gains, which made Li Ye's covetousness for the Ma family's assets and collections reach an unprecedented level!
After announcing that he would be in seclusion for some time, Li Ye changed his appearance that day and rushed to the Ma family in Jingguo.

………………

The Ma family’s ancestral home, in the patriarch’s study.

"The ancestor and the elder of the Yuquan family have been in the Red Mountains for a long time, and no news has been sent back yet..."

"That no-man's-land is too far away for our clan to have expanded its influence there. Even if we want to stay hidden and learn more about it, there aren't many ways..."

"If something unexpected happens to the ancestor and the elder, what should we do..."

Several leaders of the Ma family, whose cultivation was in the middle and late stages of Qi training, sat down separately, all with grim expressions on their faces.

It has been so long since the news came from the Red Mountains that the ancestor of the Ma family was injured and Ma Yuquan was summoned to go in person.

If the two foundation-building masters had joined forces and really wanted to take action, they should have captured Li Ye, who had just broken through to the foundation-building stage less than a year ago!
But there has been no reply for such a long time. Even if the ancestor and the elders of the family are immersed in exploring the secret realm, there should be other people who can take charge and report the news.

The fact that there is no news at all almost explains something to some extent!
"Hold your ground first!"

The gray-haired patriarch sitting behind the desk tapped the table a few times.
"No matter what, when the ancestor and the elders of the Yuquan family set out, they concealed their whereabouts as much as possible. To this day, no one in the outside world knows about the internal emptiness of our clan... We still have enough time to wait for good news from the ancestor!" Having said this, he hesitated for a moment, looked at the people present, and said in a deep voice,
"But if the ancestor and the elders of the Yuquan family were both killed in those red mountains..."

"We can only consider using the matter of the Lava Underground Palace as a token of our surrender and surrender to Qiandao Water City in exchange for the safety of our family!"

As a family that once had three people who had established their foundation, they naturally had plans to deal with all kinds of situations.

When the patriarch brought up this matter, the expressions of the others present became even more gloomy, but they did not say much.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Since you have such plans, I will not let you stay!"

During the family's secret meeting, a completely unfamiliar voice suddenly appeared. How terrifying!
The hairs of the people present stood on end instantly.

"Who is playing tricks?!"

The Ma family leader shouted, and a token suddenly appeared in his hand. He was about to mobilize the family's great formation...

"Um?!"

However, he found that the formation had no reaction, as if it was suppressed by a higher authority.

And the restrictions that he was unable to mobilize, instead used their power to restrain him and others on the spot, making them unable to move.

"Malou, what are you doing?!"

Someone shouted to the head of the Ma family, but found that he was also restrained by the falling spiritual light and could not move.

It's even more shocking!

At this time, Li Ye pushed the door open and walked in. He glanced at them and smiled.

"You guys are so good, you guys know how to get together and save me some trouble... Swallow this poisonous insect first and let me check it out!"

Ignoring these people's horrified and struggling reactions, Li Ye took out several Heart-Confusing Gu and implanted them into their bodies.

Seeing their expressions gradually turn into confusion, Li Ye's spiritual sense pierced into his sea of consciousness like a needle and began to ask them one by one.

…………

"Everyone who knows about this is here. The Ma family hasn't even had time to ask Qiandao Water City for protection regarding the Lava Palace..."

"From today on, unless the lava underground palace explodes on its own, no one else will know of its existence!"

Li Ye walked out of the master's study slowly, and the few remaining pools of black ashes in the room fluttered gently.

Qiandao Water City is located in the Qiandao Lake of Jingguo. It relies on the vastness of the lake to attract many independent cultivators and form an alliance of independent cultivators.

Its city lord, Bihu Sanren, is a well-known veteran Jindan master!

When Li Ye fled from Huan State, he also considered going to Qiandao Water City to try to build his foundation.

I gave up just because I thought it was more difficult to plan for the spiritual land.

If the Ma family really revealed the matter of the lava underground palace to such a Jindan force, Li Ye would have no peace in the future!
"Fortunately, we arrived early..."

Li Ye murmured with relief, and then the corners of his mouth rose a little bit.

"Everything has been taken care of... Now, let's see what treasures the Ma family has!"
