Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 186 Returning Empty-Handed
"Why not call it Blue Silver..."

While the words were still in his mouth, Li Ye suddenly changed his mind.
"Ahem... let's just call it Azure Silver Grass! If we can cultivate a fourth-level existence, we can call it Azure Gold Grass!"

Although Li Ye chose this name half-jokingly, the Qingluo Wood Spirit felt a faint sense of joy after hearing it. The grass leaves swayed gently, and the spiritual light on them was active.

He separated a strand of Wood God's magical power and sent it down to nourish the grass. Seeing that it seemed quite comfortable and had grown a little, Li Ye couldn't help but smile.

He already knew that the Wood God Technique had special effects on plants and trees.

For example, if the Green Wood Divine Light and the Wood God True Fire were not used to fight the enemy, but were used to nourish spiritual plants in a reverse form, they would actually have other miraculous effects.

For example, the Green Wood Divine Light can be transformed into wood spirit essence to supplement the foundation of plants and accelerate their growth, while the Wood God True Fire can "burn" the miscellaneous air and purify the spiritual energy of the spiritual plants themselves, thereby improving their growth state and eliminating hidden dangers.

The combination of the two is a cultivation method that can be regarded as a natural treasure for any spiritual plant.

Compared with the effects of ordinary spiritual plant spells, the difference is like heaven and earth!

When used in conjunction with Li Ye's spiritual plant technique, it will be of great benefit to the several acres of spiritual plants he is currently taking care of.

However, he farmed for the purpose of self-cultivation, and if he wanted to use these two secret techniques to nourish the spiritual plants, it would inevitably consume his own foundation. He would not do so if it was not necessary.

But the Qingluo Yincao has now shown extraordinary potential and function. Once its state is stabilized, Li Ye does not mind consuming his own accumulation to "force growth"!
When it is fully mature, its effectiveness in improving other second-order Qingluo grass will most likely also increase. The sooner it meets the number of small array eyes required to control the spiritual energy of the large array, the more stable it will be for him.

"I originally thought that I could just keep an eye on those guys for a while, but I didn't expect such a surprise to come. It's just the right time to kill some time..."

Li Ye said in a teasing tone.

He began to adjust the flow of spiritual energy in the formation, taking care of the Qingluo Wood Spirit while using the characteristics of the void that was now taking shape to spread its scattered spiritual energy to the surroundings.

………………

With the three major sects that had made sufficient preparations paving the way, the monks who went down to explore underground this time could persist for almost twice as long as before.

Apart from some Qi-cultivating monks who were hoping for a lucky break, and some foundation-building monks who were really unlucky and got lost from the main group, three days had passed and there was still no sign of monks coming out in large numbers.

"Three days should be about enough..."

"The underground fire tunnel is only so deep, and the outer part of the formation is very powerful. It is definitely not enough to stop the prepared disciples of the three sects. But once they actually see the lava underground palace, the horror of this copy will begin..."

Under the Kongjie tree, Li Ye, who was lying in a rocking chair and making slight modifications to the formation, looked relaxed and had no worries at all.

What’s the use of knowing there’s good stuff down there?

His attainments in formations have reached the third level, but he still doesn't dare to go to places he shouldn't!
Not to mention the formation restrictions, even if the noise they made was a little louder and attracted an unknown number of third-level fire beasts, I'm afraid that only a few of these people would be able to escape!

If they really want to have any big gains, in the end, they will probably have to rely on the personal presence of the Jindan behind them to have any chance of success.

It’s still early now!
Li Ye's expression suddenly changed slightly. He sat up and looked towards the direction of Dengyunfang Market.

"Hey! We're just talking about it, and they're all coming out one by one?"

Although he couldn't know everything from such a distance, he could sense when the means of arrangement were triggered, which was enough to make a judgment.

With a wave of his hand, the maid Rong Yue came over immediately, blinking her big eyes with a hint of anticipation: "What are your instructions, sir?"

Li Ye simply said, "Have someone collect the information for me."

…………

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh - rays of spiritual light passed through the blockade formations and flew out from underground one after another. Few people stayed and most of them left directly.

People from the three sects mixed in there, flew for a while in tacit understanding, and then stopped on a hilltop. When they saw each other, their expressions were not very good.

"What have the fellow Daoists gained?"

Liao Shengtao said something in a shrill voice, with a smile that looked like he was asking for a beating.

"Why are you always talking nonsense, you shorty Liao?"

Kong Changsheng looked impatient and asked, "Don't you know what those islands are like?"

"Aside from those damn restrictions and stones... I didn't find anything, and that lousy thing forced me to run away! What bad luck!"

"If he hadn't died instantly, I would have skinned him alive!"

Having said that, except for Liao Shengtao who showed anger when he heard him call him shorty, the others did not show any displeasure at all. Instead, they nodded in agreement.

This shows how depressed they are now!

Zou Zifu's expression was not very good either, but he started to analyze,

"It's unknown how long this place has been here, and I don't know why it became like this... If it were breached, I'm afraid many of the benefits would have been seized by the forces that originally attacked..."

"These dilapidated buildings on the outskirts are just empty shells!"

For them, a few fire beasts are certainly not enough to block their way forward, and although the power of the array spreading in the underground fire channel is not weak, it is not without loopholes.

Under the guidance of the sect's formation master, they made smooth progress all the way, and their speeds were almost the same, and they truly went deep into the underground lava.

Finally, they saw the incredible huge underground palace and the many small building islands formed by its broken parts floating on the lava.

They themselves come from the Jindan forces, so they naturally have their own judgment.

Such an astonishing existence is definitely not a relic of the Jindan Sect... at least it must be the relic of the Yuanying Sect or even the Huashen Sect to be so magnificent!

They were shocked at the time and immersed in the ecstasy of such a harvest.

However, the formation restrictions here are also more dangerous. It is almost impossible to enter the huge palace directly. Following the advice of the formation master, they all chose a small building island nearby.

Prepare to break through the formation and go deeper, collect the remaining spiritual objects on the island, and gradually take all the benefits of this place into your pocket.

At this time they still had high expectations for this place.

Until they carefully broke the ban on an island and searched it but found nothing.

The foundation-building cultivators and independent cultivators from the small forces that followed them finally arrived underground. They were deeply attracted by the magnificent scene here, and immediately rushed towards the small building islands in ecstasy using various means.

They are not stupid, so they can naturally see that the forbidden formation here seems to be more dangerous. Even the people from the three sects are just groping their way forward on the island, so why would they advance rashly?
But when there are too many people, there will always be some trouble. One person accidentally triggered some restriction, and the powerful force killed him on the spot.

At the same time, it also triggered a violent chain reaction, directly leading to riots in a large area and affecting countless monks.

Terrifying power erupted one after another, and many people lost their lives on the spot. Others, including disciples from their three sects, could only flee in panic.

This was the first time I really went deep underground to see the true appearance of the treasure, but I spent so much money but came back empty-handed!
