Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 160 Core Disciple Token
shhhhh--

Several firebirds spread their wings and flew over the lava, causing the formation restrictions to resonate with other puppets on the small building island below.

As each of them changed, a flexible and moving red flame formation unfolded.

The lava was mobilized, covering all the puppets in the formation with coats of fire.

At the same time, streams of blazing flames followed the evolution of the battle formation, transforming into binding formations that vaguely suppressed several foundation-building fire beasts and fire puppets within the formation.

It even absorbed and utilized the flames that were constantly burning on its body, rushed towards the battle formation, and was transformed and absorbed by several puppets.

boom! boom! boom!
There are battle formations that suppress the enemy and amplify oneself, so that difficult monsters can be separated and defeated one by one.

Even though the individual combat power of these second-level puppets was far inferior to that of fire beasts and fire puppets, they only suffered certain damages through such joint combat and successfully eliminated the group of fire beasts they encountered!

The bodies of the fire beasts turned into black ashes and disintegrated, revealing the fiery red crystal cores inside.

The battle formation was lifted, and a firebird puppet swooped down, picked them up one by one, and swallowed them into its stomach.

Then it circled in the air and turned back, flying into the silver-red light curtain.

Li Ye gently raised his hand, took the fire bird, and took out the fire beast crystal cores from the small space in its abdominal cavity.

Then he turned his head and looked forward. The target building was faintly visible under the cover of flames and formation restrictions, but it was not far away.

"More than a year..."

Li Ye's expression was filled with emotion. "Finally, I'm able to approach this examination hall!"

He adheres to the idea of being prudent and never putting himself in danger.

Over the past year or so, he has always taken a steady approach, and only when all the building islands in an area have been cleared has he completed the work.

After thoroughly investigating the chaotic array prohibitions and hidden dangers of fire beasts and setting up a stable array, he would personally go deeper to expand the range of the puppet's activities.

In addition, the deeper they went, the stronger the restrictions and fire beasts became. Even the first-level beings were almost nowhere to be seen later on, and the second-level threats increased visibly.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to advance, and the progress achieved each time is quite limited.

In addition, Li Ye has his own cultivation plan, and many spiritual fields need his personal care, so the time he spends in this lava underground palace is actually quite limited.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so long to get close.

However, what he said at the beginning was still a misunderstanding of the forces that had wiped out the Mechanical Hall.

Although they did not pay attention to the need to exorcise evil spirits and avoid future troubles, they really collected all the good things from the disciples of Tiangong Temple.

Even though Li Ye has advanced to this point, apart from the fire beast crystal core, the treasures he has picked up can be counted on one hand.

If you really want to collect some good stuff, you still have to enter the main body of the lava underground palace to get it!

What remains... are the many functional building islands that are broken and difficult to identify from the outside!
Because Li Ye was determined to get to the small island that was suspected to be the ruined Jiqiao Pavilion, he did not find many functional buildings along the way by comparing the map.

It was not until recently that I suddenly discovered that there were two small island buildings that were somewhat similar to the Foundry Pavilion and the Examination Hall.

However, he had not even reached the examination hall he was heading straight for, so the other examination halls naturally had no appeal.

However, Li Ye was quite interested in the Foundry Pavilion, a place responsible for refining equipment and manufacturing standard puppets and corresponding components.

If he could successfully explore the Assessment Hall and the Mechanical Pavilion in front of him without attracting more dangerous existences, his next target would be there.

"My spiritual consciousness is a little tired, let's stop here for today..."

Li Ye manipulated his puppet to search the small building island he had just occupied. His expression suddenly changed. "Hmm... this disciple token seems a little different!"

Gather all the findings and return the puppet.

Li Ye took the token and looked at it with a look of surprise on his face.
"This seems to be a core disciple token!"

The information given by the disciple tokens that he had picked up sporadically before had already given Li Ye a certain understanding of the Tiangong Temple.

Although he had never seen the true form of the core disciple token, it was more complicated than other tokens, and the formation prohibitions engraved on it had a different appearance, which was enough to serve as a basis for judgment.

"Given the size of their Huashen Sect, their core disciples are probably at least in the late Foundation Establishment stage or even Golden Core stage..."

Li Ye's eyes lit up and he immediately injected his magic power into it.

Perhaps after years of wear and tear, the mark left by the original owner has dissipated, and like other disciple tokens, Li Ye easily refined the restrictions in it.

When the information was fed back, a look of joy immediately appeared on Li Ye's face.

Although the token does not store any important information such as martial arts techniques, it is completely blank and only has basic records.

But he was not wrong. This token was indeed from a core disciple whose status was second only to a few true disciples.

The authority of this token is much higher than that of ordinary disciples.

Before the lava palace collapsed, core disciples could go to many important places in the palace without hindrance with tokens in hand, and had the right to use many instruments.

Li Ye didn’t know how many of those things were left now, but with this order, those formations that had long been in chaos would also be affected. Even if they could not be fully controlled, the difficulty of cracking them would be greatly reduced!

This way, he could travel to more places...

Especially the Assessment Hall and the Mechanical Pavilion that you will come into contact with soon. If the token is still valid, it will probably be of great help!

"The token is here, but where is the body of that core disciple? Could it be that his belongings were scattered here after he was killed?"

Li Ye frowned slightly.

No matter what, the owner of this thing was also a Jindan-level being in his lifetime. I wonder if he would still maintain the corresponding realm after transforming into a fire beast...

It would be fine if it was one of the many foundation-building fire beasts and fire puppets he had just dealt with.

But if it really turned into a golden elixir fire beast, I wonder if this token would attract it...

Thinking of this, Li Ye threw the token back to the heavily armored puppet.

"Unless it's absolutely necessary, let the puppet hold this thing!"

Then he drove the puppet back to the area he had just explored and tried it out in front of formations of different states and levels.

The results are very gratifying!

Except for those formations with complicated structures and completely chaotic conditions, almost all of them will resonate with this token and open up a path.

Even the chaotic and dangerous formation ban itself will have a certain reaction, which creates a loophole that Li Ye can use the puppet battle formation to resolve.

In this way, it can almost be said that as long as Li Ye has not reached the third level, the formation restrictions here will not be able to stop him!
Even if it is level three or above, as long as the structure is complete, it will most likely be affected by this disciple token and may be driven.

"After more than a year of exploration, the gains aren't as significant as the breakthrough brought by picking up a token... It's true that the deeper you go, the more goodies you find!"

Li Ye shook his head and suppressed the urge to continue exploring.
"Next time you come, take over both the Mechanical Pavilion and the Examination Hall!"
