Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 157 On the right track
Although Li Ye noticed someone coming, he immediately packed up his belongings and left.

However, the news that Quan Chaoliang was fighting with others outside soon spread.

After all, the characteristics of Peach Blossom Miasma are too obvious. As long as there are some remnants of the fighting, there is no problem in making the corresponding judgment.

As a result, the monk who spread the news judged that Quan Chaoliang died on the spot, and it seemed that he was easily killed without even putting up much resistance!

Calculating the time, it seemed that Li Ye had just had a conflict with him and left the market, his whereabouts unknown.

Originally, the foundation-building cultivator who happened to discover this matter had already prepared to leave the Red Mountains as soon as possible.

However, Quan Chaoliang, who had a certain reputation and even had a low-grade spiritual weapon, the Peach Blossom Fan, in his hand, was killed. This situation was too dangerous.

Almost immediately, the foundation-building cultivator was scared back to Sanhui Market, intending to stay there for a few more days and find one or two trustworthy cultivators to leave with.

It was during this process that the news of Quan Chaoliang's murder spread.

This made everyone even more wary of Li Ye.

If he had used the market formation to deal with Quan Chaoliang, it would have been within their expectations.

But he was chasing this man in the wild and still managed to kill him... In their eyes, Li Ye's image was inevitably unfathomable!

Originally, they were only friends because of the art of alchemy, but were wary of each other because of the art of formations.

He thought that if Li Ye, a cultivator who had just broken through the foundation-building stage, was not inside the formation, he would be a fat sheep with a lot of wealth.

Now he subconsciously straightened his mind and dared not to look down on Li Ye...

After all, this person has all the necessary skills and assets. It is possible that he will be able to successfully cultivate to the late stage of foundation building in the future, and may even be able to try to form a pill!

However, the monk who sent back the news was a little dumbfounded.

Since Li Ye chose to hide his tracks and go to deal with Quan Chaoliang, he must have his considerations, but this time he exposed it...

Wouldn't that be a great offense to him?

…………

"I was just angry at Quan Chaoliang for not following the rules and rashly killing his fellow traders after the auction, so I chased him and attacked him. I never thought I would accidentally kill him..."

"Friend Bi, you just happened to meet me, and I have no ill intentions. There is really no need to worry about it..."

"I truly admire Brother Li for killing the evildoer this time!"

Bi Xifeng nodded repeatedly, but when his eyes swept over the peach blossom fan in Li Ye's hand, he still felt a little cold in his heart.

Li Ye laughed loudly, but then changed the subject.
"If you, Brother Bi, have any unused inheritance of the Hundred Arts or elixir recipes, feel free to come find me..."

"I will definitely give you a satisfactory price!"

"If I gain anything, I will definitely remember Fellow Daoist Li!"

Bi Xifeng felt relieved after hearing this and immediately promised.

If he really didn't have any inheritance to show off, he would have already offered it up at this time.

Since there was no transaction of goods, the two of them just chatted briefly. After getting to know each other a little, Bi Xifeng finally put his mind at ease and tactfully said goodbye.

After seeing this person off, Li Ye still had a faint smile on his face.

In the past few days, he changed his previous attitude of closing the door to visitors and directly sent invitations to the foundation-building cultivators who had not left, inviting everyone to hold a banquet on Pingyang Mountain.

There are not many independent cultivators among these cultivators, and most of them come from families or sects near the Red Mountains in the Three Kingdoms.

Establishing a stable relationship with them would make things much easier for Li Ye in all aspects. After everyone gathered, many of the monks came to visit again before they left.

Most of them came with the intention of deepening the relationship so that they could entrust Li Ye with alchemy in the future, and they also reached some deals privately.

People like Bi Xifeng who come here with the intention of apologizing are unique!

Li Ye returned along the mountain road, playing with the peach blossom fan in his hand with a slightly strange look in his eyes.

"The Peach Blossom Treasure Mirror that Quan Chaoliang practices is also a wood-attributed technique. Although it contains many elements of dual cultivation and nourishment, it's obvious at first glance that it's not legitimate... and rather leans towards the unorthodox side of demonic techniques!"

"But its content is surprisingly comprehensive, even allowing one to cultivate all the way to the late Jindan stage, and even contains some content related to the Yuanying stage. It's truly outrageous..."

"If I hadn't already acquired the Qing Yuan Gong, I'd be tempted to try this technique!"

Even the peach blossom fan in his hand is actually a replica of the natal magic weapon in the Peach Blossom Treasure Mirror.

The peach blossom miasma collected and refined during the foundation-building period and stored in it can be used as materials for refining the natal magic weapon at that time. It can be said that it is a continuation of the tradition and there is no waste at all.

But now that this item is in Li Ye's hands, it can only be used as a means of replenishment...

Li Ye's thoughts wandered as his gaze swept across the newly grown green grass sprouts in the mountains, and the joy on his face became more and more intense.

This is the Qingluo grass he had just planted. Although the amount of grass seeds after all were spread out was far from enough to cover the entire top of the mountain, it was still dotted across many areas on the mountain.

After just a few days, it was able to play a slight harmonizing role in the spiritual energy of this place... although it was indeed quite weak!
"But compared to other spiritual plants, this grass is really special..."

Li Ye thought silently.

Although it is a second-level spiritual plant, perhaps because it is relatively weak, its appearance is only slightly more crystal-clear than that of ordinary grass, and the experience value given by each plant is only the minimum 0.1 point.

Including the two times Deng Tiancheng bid for the pills, he gave a total of one pound of grass seeds, which can only plant about 10,000 plants.

The experience given was quite little, and Li Ye even doubted whether this thing could actually provide any feedback on the corresponding spiritual essence.

But he has a pretty good attitude about it.

Just let these things grow on their own. Even if they only cover the top of the mountain, they will be of a fairly large scale.

The experience points given at that time will definitely be a very surprising amount!

Returning to the mountain, Li Ye went straight to the spiritual field.

At this time, the three acres of spiritual fields have been cultivated, and scattered with polygonatum fruits and blood amber flowers.

The former is the main ingredient suitable for Li Ye to take the elixir Mu Sheng Dan now, and both acres are planted with this fruit seedlings.

The fruit of Polygonatum odoratum is shaped like a grape. About 500 trees can be planted in one acre. The ripe fruits are as crystal clear as jade and have a unique bamboo fragrance.

Now, after an auction, Li Ye has collected 100 plants and distributed them across two acres. The spiritual energy and soil fertility are extremely abundant, and it won't take long before he can try to divide the plants and completely fill the field with plants.

The blood amber flowers planted in the remaining one acre are recorded in the Ten Thousand Beasts' Bodies. They are the main ingredient of the Blood-Sucking Pill needed to harmonize and increase qi and blood. One thousand plants can be planted in one acre.

Li Ye has only collected a little over a hundred plants, and it will take quite some time to cultivate them before the fields are full of them.

"It's been almost a year since I started building my foundation, and now I'm finally back on track..."

Li Ye sighed as he looked at the scattered spiritual plants in the fields, a hint of satisfaction emerging in his eyes.

"Besides this, the two mu of second-level spiritual farmland opened up from the broken spiritual vein in Dengjin Mountain cannot be wasted..."
