Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 158: The Local Emperor is Doing Well
Dengjin Mountain is one of the only two places in this red land mountain range that has a second-level spiritual vein.

As early as when Dengyunfang City was in turmoil and Xu Pingyang wiped out the Chang family, the original owner of Dengjin Mountain, this mountain was occupied by Ma Ying as a place for cultivation.

Apart from him, there were only a few monks on the mountain who handled miscellaneous matters and tended to the spiritual fields.

After Xu Pingyang and Ma Ying both died at the hands of Li Ye, this place became ownerless again and was temporarily taken over by Pingyangshan at Li Ye's instruction.

Now that he wants to use the second-level spiritual field, no one dares to say anything!

After all... Li Ye gained a lot from this auction.

Although not all of these spiritual plants are useful today, they have greatly enriched Li Ye's collection.

If there is a need in the future, you can plant it at any time and harvest spiritual essence to replace what you need.

As for the elixir recipe, there is no need to say much about the main ingredients of Mu Sheng Dan and Na Xue Dan, which are suitable for Li Ye's practice. They have already been planted.

In addition, he was also very interested in getting the two poisonous pills, the Hemolytic and the Bone-Depleting Pills, at the auction.

The hemolytic pill can destroy the qi and blood, causing the cultivator's flesh and blood to decay and melt, while the withering bone powder can dissolve human bone marrow and destroy the foundation.

The combination of the two can dissolve blood and dry bones. If an ordinary cultivator is not on guard, he will suffer great damage to his body if he touches them.

Even if one takes precautions in time and uses elixirs to detoxify, the remaining damage cannot be recovered for a while, which greatly affects the ability to fight.

More importantly, this kind of poison is also effective against physically strong cultivators and monsters.

It can destroy his physical combat power and greatly weaken his strength!
"If this poison is formed, once the trap is set up and the poison is released... it will be enough to kill the person even without any other means!"

Li Ye thought about it and chuckled, "Even if we encounter a strong enemy, it will be enough to create greater suppression..."

As his attainments in the arts transformed from years of farming have gradually deepened, even though his cultivation is still shallow, coupled with the spiritual weapons he has seized, his combat power is no less than that of the foundation-building cultivators.

This will give you enough confidence and deterrent power to protect your own practice!

Thinking silently, Li Ye prepared to go to Dengjin Mountain to plant the hemolytic flowers and bone grass he had on hand.

First arrange the resources at hand, then organize the skills and techniques, and there is no rush to practice them one by one.

But before he could move, his expression changed slightly. He turned around and returned to the palace. He took the token from his waist and opened a passage in the formation.

……

"Hahahaha! Brother Deng's Taoism is profound, and this discussion has really benefited me a lot... Come on! I'll toast to you, fellow Taoist!"

Li Ye looked happy and raised his glass to toast Deng Tiancheng.

"Brother Li, you're too polite! You and I are both newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivators in the past few years, yet you have already mastered such astonishing attainments in alchemy and formations. I, Deng, admire you immensely!"

Deng Tiancheng was not arrogant at all at this time, and his words were quite friendly.

The two of them clinked glasses and chatted, and both the host and the guest were having a great time, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

Halfway through the banquet, Deng Tiancheng suddenly spoke up.

"Brother Li, you've already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of thirty, and you're also an expert in both alchemy and formation techniques. Even in my Nine Cauldrons Valley, there's no one as talented as you... If you can secure a better training environment with such strength, you might even be able to glimpse a bit of the Golden Core stage!"

"If you and I join forces, if there's news of a Jindan spiritual object in our sect in the future, no one will be able to compete with you and me... Such an opportunity can't be obtained by staying trapped here. Brother Li, are you really unwilling to enter my Jiuding Valley?"

He looked sincere, as if he was full of sincerity. He wanted to join forces with Li Ye to fight for power and resources in Jiuding Valley in order to get a glimpse of the golden elixir.

But Li Ye put down his wine glass and sighed softly.
"Brother Deng, I am truly grateful for your kindness!"

"It's just that I really don't have the heart to join a sect to fight for power and gain. Although these red land and mountains are a bit barren, I do have some alchemy skills to make up for it..."

"Even if there are no other opportunities, I will stay here in the mountains and practice hard. I will have some confidence in my future cultivation..." "As for the golden elixir... This matter is too far away and vague, but I don't want to waste my energy on it too early!"

Looking at Li Ye's genuine expression, Deng Tiancheng couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
"Forget it! Everyone has their own aspirations. Since Brother Li has other plans, I can't force you..."

Long before Li Ye took the initiative to invite many cultivators to get together, Deng Tiancheng had already invited Li Ye, but was rejected on the spot.

Originally, he thought that Li Ye was just waiting for a better price and wanted to use this to get better terms.

Now it seems that his behavior at the time was clearly sincere!
This made Deng Tiancheng quite helpless.

Even though the invitation failed, we can’t ruin the friendship.

This man said this, raised his glass and laughed,
"Even so, our friendship remains the same... If I ever come to you to ask for an elixir or to break the formation, please don't refuse me, Brother Li!"

"Brother Deng is joking again!"

Li Ye smiled and said, "How can I refuse a commission that comes right to my door?"

"As long as Brother Deng doesn't mind my lack of skills, I will do my best!"

Both of them were interested in making friends, and after a few words the atmosphere became harmonious again.

……

"call……"

With a turn of magic power, the smell of alcohol dissipated completely, and Li Ye, who was a little tipsy a moment ago, suddenly became clear-headed.

He looked at the direction Deng Tiancheng left and shook his head.

"If I were in the Qi training stage, I would probably be tempted by this, but now I have so much in my hands and no shortage of spiritual fields, so why would I wade into your muddy water..."

"What's more, even if Jiuding Valley really has a way to obtain things like Jindan spiritual objects, it's likely that you will take them first... If there is no chance later, wouldn't I be working for you for nothing?"

It is not that Li Ye judges others by his own standards.

Even the opportunity to build a foundation for Qi-cultivating cultivators is enough to make everyone fight for it crazily.

Once the golden elixir is formed, the lifespan will be extended to 500 years. This temptation is even more attractive and no foundation-building cultivator can resist it.

If there really is only one spiritual object that can form a dan, the chance of this person turning against me is almost a hundred percent!
No matter how nice the words sound now, they are still empty.

Now that Li Ye has collected a lot of prescriptions and acquired many spiritual medicines, it is time for him to farm properly and get on the right track of cultivation.

And speaking of opportunity.

Beneath the underground fire, there is the lava underground palace and the broken Tiangong Palace, a super mechanical palace waiting for him to explore.

In terms of foundation, how could his Jiuding Valley, a Jindan sect, compare with the Tiangong Palace, an ancient sect that could transform into a god?

Who knows that there are no Dan-forming spiritual objects or even the legendary Ningying spiritual objects hidden in this lava underground palace?

With these conditions, Li Ye could be very comfortable being a local tyrant in the mountains and rivers. He would be crazy enough to run away with Deng Tiancheng to Jiuding Valley and work like a slave for them!
Li Ye touched his chin, looking playful.

"However, Deng Tiancheng is a disciple of a major sect with considerable potential. His sources of intelligence are more sensitive than mine, and his chances of getting access to good things are far greater than those of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator..."

"As long as it doesn't involve any major opportunities, it's in my best interest to be on good terms with them, so I have to maintain it!"

"I think this person should be similar to what I imagined. As long as the secret of the Lava Palace doesn't reveal itself, we should be able to get along very happily..."
