Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 182 No Interest
Fire beasts appear from time to time in various underground fire channels throughout the red mountains.

However, the most active and unique underground fire channels are mostly located around Dengyunfang City.

This has led to changes in the business and functions of the market, and it now also serves as an adventure distribution center.

One of them is a passable underground fire channel. Whether it is to watch the excitement or to obtain first-hand information, many cultivators still lingered under the protection after Deng Tiancheng and others entered it.

But they didn't expect that there would be movement before even a day had passed.

Everyone was a little surprised when they saw from afar a sudden movement beneath the heavy formations.

"Huh? You're coming out so soon?"

In the crowd, many Qi-cultivating cultivators immediately opened their eyes wide and stared at the formation.

They had all received orders from the foundation-building cultivators. Many people were already extremely curious about what secrets were hidden underground, but they did not dare to act rashly.

If I could get first-hand information, I would definitely be able to gain considerable benefits from building a foundation behind the scenes!
I saw that the formation suddenly opened up a small passage.

Three figures with dimmed spiritual light shot out as if they were seriously injured.

Then the formation was quickly closed, and a roar and a fierce beast roar were heard. The runes on the closed formation shone brightly, and the power was stimulated to the extreme, blocking the impact.

However, a large number of fire beast crystal cores in many forbidden nodes of the formation immediately dimmed rapidly and even shattered.

The Pingyangshan deacon who was waiting on the side acted quickly and immediately stepped forward to replace and replenish, so that the power of the formation was always maintained at a high level.

After the three figures rushed out of the magic circle, they fled immediately without stopping, giving the other cultivators present no chance to observe or ask questions.

But their current condition is enough to explain quite a lot of problems!

…………

"Four people went in and three came out, and all of them were seriously injured. They didn't even stay for a moment..."

"What kind of danger is there down there that even a Nine Ding Valley disciple like Deng Tiancheng, who explored it personally, ended up in such a state?"

Duan Ruisheng's tone was puzzled, with curiosity and fear appearing in his eyes.

As the foundation-building ancestor of an ordinary family, after witnessing Li Ye's attainments in alchemy many years ago, he was greatly determined to make friends with him.

As Li Ye gathered the five elements pill formulas used to enhance his magic power for building his foundation, he was able to exchange them for elixirs from Li Ye in various ways from time to time, and his cultivation level improved significantly.

In the past few years, the family has finally managed to train two members who have reached the peak of Qi training, and is planning to procure spiritual objects for them to build their foundation.

After Luo Feibai's breakthrough, he had been eyeing Li Ye a lot, with the intention of competing for the Foundation Establishment Pill at this year's Chidi Auction.

If that doesn't work, you can also visit them and try to build relationships and buy one or two.

If I can't get it anymore, I can only let the younger generation in the clan suffer a little, and simply try to break through with the Concentrating Spirit Pill!
Just like he came early this time, he worked hard to clear out the second-level fire beasts for the Red Mountains. Not to mention that he increased Li Ye's favorability with Pingyang Mountain, at least his relationship with Luo Feibai, who had just reached the foundation-building stage, had indeed improved a lot.

He wanted to exchange the fire beast crystal core he obtained with Li Ye for the foundation-building pill, but Li Ye refused and was only willing to exchange the crystal core for the Fire Cloud Pill or other second-level spiritual medicines at only half the amount.

Duan Ruisheng himself did not suffer any loss, as all the gains from hunting were exchanged for suitable elixirs. However, he also knew that there was probably no hope for the foundation-building elixirs for the disciples in his clan!
Since there was no hope of obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill, he had seen Li Ye setting up formations everywhere, finally repairing most of the underground fire channels and bringing the fire beast's rampage under considerable control, so he was ready to leave.

But at this time, Li Ye suddenly said that he could buy a token ticket to go underground and explore, and he was reluctant to leave!
Anyone with a bit of experience in the Foundation Establishment stage would have noticed the strangeness of the fire beast's arrival, and that there was likely something hidden underground. However, with Li Ye's powerful formations everywhere blocking the area, no one dared to rashly sneak in to explore. Otherwise, if they encountered a crisis and the entrance was sealed by the formation, wouldn't there be no escape?
Duan Ruisheng naturally had some ideas, but he knew that the territory belonged to Li Ye, and with his attainments in formation, it was probably not his turn to take advantage.

But Li Ye's announcement did give him and other cultivators some opportunities.

However, as the ancestor of a family, Duan Ruisheng acted prudently and did not rashly call his friends to go underground. He planned to wait for other cultivators to explore first before making a decision.

But the news he had been waiting for was too heavy for him!

Even Deng Tiancheng's assembled team was defeated, and even lost one person. If it were an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator like him, wouldn't his life be in danger?!

"Forget it... Let's wait and see for a while!"

Duan Ruisheng sighed, feeling that it was not easy to join in the fun, so he called his clansmen and ordered them to continue the investigation.

…………

Ever since Deng Tiancheng and the others escaped in a panic from the underground fire channel, the atmosphere among the many foundation-building people who were attracted here, making the red mountains and earth seem like they were sitting on a powder keg, suddenly changed.

Many foundation-building cultivators who had already obtained Li Ye's pass tokens began to hesitate while holding the tokens in their hands.

The number of times Deng Tiancheng was visited also increased rapidly, and almost every day one could see monks of different appearances coming to visit him.

However, he and his companions seemed to be in seclusion recuperating from their injuries, and no one had seen him for many days.

It wasn't until half a month later that a monk with whom they had a good relationship finally met with him, and from him he learned the true crisis they had encountered underground...

A large number of second-level fire beasts and... formation restrictions!
A chaotic and difficult to discern formation, quite hidden and with uncertain power!
The old Taoist in his team was seriously injured on the spot by an extremely powerful formation ban, and was then besieged and killed by fire beasts.

The whole process happened extremely quickly. The rest of them were also seriously injured and had no time to rush to the rescue. They could only turn around and evacuate after breaking free from the formation.

However, once this news came out, it ignited the passion of everyone who was building their foundation.

If it were only the fire beast, they would not be able to be sure, but with the appearance of the formation ban, it was almost telling everyone clearly that there were ancient relics underground!
As long as they can break through the blockade of the fire beast and the formation, they will have the opportunity to obtain the hidden treasures!

In this way, overnight, several foundation-building teams entered the underground through different underground fire channels.

At the same time, Li Ye, who was famous for his mastery of alchemy and formations, also received visits from many cultivators.

"Brother Li! Now we are almost certain that there is at least a Golden Core or even a Yuanying Sect's treasure underneath. If we can get it, who knows, there might be the Golden Core spiritual object we need most..."

"With your mastery of formations, if you're willing to go down and explore, we can definitely break through that chaotic restriction and get underground!"

"Do you really want to miss this opportunity?"

Looking at Deng Tiancheng in front of him, who had not yet fully recovered but looked quite excited, Li Ye felt nothing in his heart.

Although you might have guessed it right...

But for the sake of my life, I really had to miss it!

Seeing Deng Tiancheng's suddenly frozen expression, Li Ye smiled faintly.
"Brother Deng, please go back. The underground treasure is too dangerous. I really... have no interest!"
