Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 193 Sigh
"hiss……"

Li Ye looked at Fan Yuanzhou, who looked listless and weak, with a complex and sighing expression.

He couldn't tell whether these people were unlucky or lucky!

Things happened exactly as Li Ye expected.

With the joint advancement of the monks from the three sects, the turmoil caused after they approached the lava underground palace to a certain extent indeed attracted the third-level fire beast.

But since the sect sent them here, the ancestors of the sect naturally gave out corresponding trump cards... The leaders of the three sects all carried corresponding talismans refined by the Jindan ancestors using their own magic weapons!

After the appearance of the third-level nine-headed fire beast, they did not hide. Whether for the sake of saving their lives or for the lava palace that was "right in front of them", they immediately mobilized and joined forces to surround and kill it.

The fire beast itself is slightly weaker than the cultivator, and judging from the number of heads, these nine-headed fire beasts have only barely reached the Jindan level, which makes them even weaker.

Although they came with great force, they were able to fight against them even when the three sect leaders took out their talismans and besieged them. They were even able to injure and force the nine-headed fire beast to retreat!

However, new troubles appeared at this time...

The deflated nine-headed fire beast suddenly roared towards the sky, and its voice penetrated the vast underground world.

A hint of aura immediately emerged from the lava underground palace, where it was impossible to see what was going on inside, and then a fire beast rushed out!
It has ten heads, and its combat power is much stronger than that of the nine-headed fire beast!
The purple-red flames burned almost everything. Even the talismans in their hands could only barely resist a little, and they were no match for him at all.

So as soon as this beast appeared, the monks from the three sects turned around and fled without even thinking.

One third-level fire beast can be dealt with with talismans, but what about two?
If you don't run now, you might not even be able to leave your body intact!
There is great terror in the face of life and death. All the cultivators were only concerned with escaping, so much so that they didn't even bother to carefully avoid or deal with the forbidden formations that were spread all around them.

Before anyone could be killed by the beast, someone rushed into the forbidden formation and was killed directly.

Since their territory was invaded by monks, the two fire beasts naturally would not give up and immediately chose to chase and kill them.

They seemed to have a grudge against the three leaders who were holding talismans and causing harm to them, and their main targets were these three people.

The ten-headed fire beasts first killed Liao Shengtao, then chased him and killed the monks along the way. They even chased him outside the cave and killed Kong Changsheng. They were extremely cruel!

The slightly weaker nine-headed fire beast also caught up with Zou Zifu and killed him.

Although the talisman is powerful enough to temporarily possess the power of a golden elixir, it can only show off its power among foundation-building cultivators.

When it's three against one, they might be able to fight against the nine-headed fire beast, but if there's only one person, the only difference is how long they can hold out!

Only the cultivators like Fan Yuanzhou, who had not caused much damage to the fire beast and were not considered its primary target, took the opportunity to disperse and escape, and thus gained a glimmer of hope and escaped.

But after escaping in a hurry, Fan Yuanzhou recalled the situation and tried to contact his fellow disciples, but suddenly realized...

All his fellow disciples, including Deng Tiancheng, died in the underground lava, and no one responded to him anymore!
This time the injury was quite serious, and without his fellow disciples accompanying him, as a disciple of Jiuding Valley, the focus was really too big.

If he were to walk alone while seriously injured, he might be targeted.

In desperation, Fan Yuanzhou had to rush to Pingyang Mountain to ask Li Ye for help.

After all, after being introduced by Deng Tiancheng, he often asked Li Ye for elixirs. Whether it was business dealings or friendship, there was more or less some connection.

If we just let him into the formation and provide him with a safe place to heal, he might not refuse.

Although Li Ye was surprised by his sudden visit, he did not hesitate.

Not to mention that he had profound secret skills and was not afraid of Fan Yuanzhou at all. In the blue sky and forest formation, Li Ye could suppress him with just a thought.

He alone could not pose much threat to Li Ye, so Li Ye let him in because of their past friendship. It was a good opportunity to learn from him what had happened in the lava underground palace.

I just didn't expect that the whole incident would develop like this...

"Brother Fan, I feel my condolences..."

Li Ye sighed and said, "The place for you to retreat and recuperate has been prepared for you. Your injuries are serious, and there is no time to delay..."

He took out another bottle of pills and placed them in front of Fan Yuanzhou. "This heat-clearing powder is particularly effective against fire poisons. It's a token of my appreciation. Please accept it, Brother Fan."

Fan Yuanzhou looked at the jade bottle in front of him with a complicated look, and couldn't help but think of the monks from the three sects who were even planning to break through Pingyang Mountain and capture and kill Li Ye in order to eliminate the hidden dangers as much as possible.

As a result, Li Ye stayed in the mountains from beginning to end and did not come out. Most of their group were killed or injured, and now there are only a few people left!

Faced with such a comparison, Fan Yuanzhou felt not only ashamed but also mocked and ridiculous.

Li Ye's prudence and caution were not without reason... A mere group of foundation-building cultivators actually dared to covet the ancient treasures in the lava underground palace, so it didn't seem surprising that they ended up dead.

He had not even considered seizing the opportunity of Li Ye appearing at his doorstep, and was quite disdainful of it in his heart.

Now it seems that he is the one who sees it most clearly!
But now that all his fellow disciples had been killed, he realized that it was too late.

Fan Yuanzhou accepted the pill, stood up and bowed solemnly to Li Ye.
"Thank you, Brother Li. I will go into seclusion first... For your help, I will definitely repay you handsomely in the future!"

…………

Sitting in the pavilion, the sun is shining brightly today and the breeze is quite comfortable.

Li Ye held the tea, savoring the bitterness before the sweetness returned. He looked at the sky with a slightly vacant gaze and sighed softly.
"Alas... Another acquaintance is missing..."

Deng Tiancheng, who built his foundation on his own without the help of any spiritual objects or elixirs, has a foundation far superior to that of ordinary cultivators.

His unique and sharp magical power also enabled him to reach the middle stage of foundation building in just a few years.

With such performance, it is possible that he could become a golden elixir.

However, this talented cultivator still fell on the road to seeking opportunities. From then on, the ambitions he had discussed with Li Ye in the past would no longer be realized.

"With a limited lifespan, the desire to reach a high enough realm will always urge cultivators to take risks..."

"Just like in my previous life, I was constantly pushing myself for houses, cars, and family, constantly squeezing out my potential as a beast of burden, in order to satisfy more desires and expectations..."

"But humans are fragile. A single truck loss of control can ruin everything!"

Li Ye thought calmly, "And if a cultivator is not careful, he might also die in an adventure, and all his hopes will eventually turn to dust..."

"As expected, time is the biggest enemy for any life!"

"Fortunately... in this life, these things are no longer a concern for me. I can just take my time cultivating immortality..."

But this opportunity to kick a helpless dog...cannot be missed!

Li Ye put down the teacup, and the breathing Gu in his hand crawled out, and quietly escaped from the formation when the spiritual light disappeared.
