Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 199 Waiting
"Finally here?!"

Li Ye sat up from the grass with a bang, and took out a jade plate with his backhand. The many grids on it were steadily flashing with a pale white light.

Only a few of them appeared red, and then completely extinguished.

This is the sensing method left behind by the blockade formation. It can only sense the breath of those passing through. Once it exceeds a certain limit, it will stop quietly on its own.

The feedback to Li Ye was that the corresponding grid on the jade plate flashed red and then went out.

And this upper limit is naturally the Jindan level!
Such a long time has passed, except for the corresponding reaction caused by the ten-headed fire beasts chasing Kong Changsheng out of the cave, which was supplemented later.

This situation happened again today!
Li Ye's expression quickly calmed down. He frowned slightly and thought,

"You just went straight to the Lava Underground Palace and didn't come to look for me..."

"Based on the current situation of the four Jindan cultivators, the probability that the person who came this time was that Bihu Sanren is slightly higher!"

After all, even though Li Ye had never personally explored the underground palace after it was discovered by outsiders, and even after the Golden Core Fire Beast was born, he had never left the mountain gate for more than a year.

Perhaps his understanding of the lava underground palace is not as good as those disciples of the sect who escaped death from the golden elixir fire beast.

But as the ruler of this place, there is no reason for those Jindan to completely trust that he really knows nothing about the place below.

It is normal to come and ask questions. It would be best if there is any gain. However, as they are at the level of Jindan, they naturally don't think there is anything wrong with it.

But this Jindan cultivator did not do so, which seemed a little strange.

Only the Jindan Patriarch Bihu Sanren was rumored to be nearing the end of his life, and now no one knows how many years he has left to live.

If he came here in search of an opportunity, he would have to hurry but also not reveal his whereabouts rashly, so as to avoid letting outsiders know that the sect was empty and ruining his own good deeds.

This roughly corresponds to the principle of being so careful.

"If it really is him, then it would indeed be the best case scenario for me!"

Li Ye's thoughts turned, and his expression became a little relieved.

After all, compared with other Jindan, only this Bihu Sanren is the one whose time has come and is in the worst condition.

He came alone, without even any disciples, which showed his determination to fight to the death.

It is possible that he had already arranged many matters before coming here, and even if he collapsed here, he was unwilling to wait for the day when his life ended.

However, the water in this lava underground palace is too damn deep. In his current state, even though he is practicing water-based skills, he is completely suppressed by the fire beast that is stronger than him. It is extremely difficult for him to gain something and return safely!

If anyone dies there, Li Ye will have the opportunity to take advantage of it...

He is not really interested in other property. What he really wants is the experience and feelings of breaking through the Jindan stage!

"Although it's a bit unethical, this is my only chance..."

Li Ye sighed, then calmed down and stopped thinking about it.

With Jin Dan's presence, things were completely out of his control.

All he could do was wait patiently.

At most, there would be another outbreak of fire beasts below, or the formation would sense something again after not being seen for a long time, and then the rock puppets would be adjusted back to regularly check the status of the lava underground palace.

If there is really a bargain to be found, it won’t be too late to consider sending a puppet to take a look.

………………

"Is this the lava underground palace left over from ancient times?"

Being in a lava field, Bihu San, who had entered the underground without any effort, murmured to himself, looking at the huge and immovable underground palace, his eyes burning with passion and expectation.

His last chance in this life is here!

The shield of his true essence swirled like blue-black water, isolating him from the blazing heat. The scattered first- and second-level restrictions in the outer area couldn't reach him at all, and were shattered by his true essence, forcing him back.

But as his spiritual sense reached out and swept across this vast underground world, Bihu Sanren's expression became a little more solemn.

As a Jindan cultivator, with the help of powerful spiritual consciousness, although he was not very talented, he managed to improve his attainments in formation to the second level.

There will be no problem in judging the chaotic formation here.

Even with his strength, he would have to be careful if he wanted to truly enter the main body of the lava underground palace.

"This treasure is truly extraordinary. If there are any medicinal pills or spiritual objects left behind, they will surely be of great use to me!"

After making a judgment, he directly chose the path that the monks from the three sects had taken, and moved steadily towards the main body of the underground palace.

…………

Time passes day by day.

Fortunately, the formation master from Qiandao Water City escaped the disaster and was able to return safely.

Although the formation restrictions are constantly changing, causing changes to the restrictions on the path originally opened up by the monks of the three sects, it still has some reference value.

With hundreds of years of Qi cultivation skills accumulated by Bihu Sanren, he was extremely steady. Not only did he not act rashly, he also suppressed all movements to the minimum while moving forward, and restrained his own aura as much as possible.

As he advanced, even if a large number of fire beasts appeared from time to time to block his way, he would try to kill the enemy with one blow.

They had already reached the edge of the lava palace, but had not yet scared out the third-level fire beast. This was completely different from the previous situation where there were too many people and chaos led to a massacre early.

Although he had gained some big and small things along the way, and even some third-level items, they were all just external things to him.

If it were when he had just broken through to the Golden Core stage, he would have been extremely delighted.

But what he wants now is only a magic pill that can increase his lifespan or improve his realm. He doesn’t even know if he will have the chance to use these external things!

"That dilapidated building seems different..."

Looking at the lava underground palace right in front of him, Bihu Sanren felt a rare sense of insignificance. However, when his spiritual sense swept across a small building island not far away, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart.

"The third level even has a fourth level restriction as protection. The void restriction it forms almost makes it a self-contained entity in this place, undisturbed..."

The more focused he was on investigating, the more shocked his face became.

This was the first time he discovered such a dilapidated building.

This architectural island is more exquisite than the previous one that seemed special and made him feel a little scared after trying to crack it, so he finally gave up.

Bihu Sanren looked hesitant, pondered for a moment, and decided to ignore it and go straight into the lava underground palace!
When it comes to third and fourth level restrictions, even if he has accumulated some means to break the formation, he still has to use brute force.

The noise caused by this would inevitably attract a level three fire beast. I'm afraid that I won't get anything and instead lose the chance to enter the underground palace!
If he loses everything, he won't have any more time to wait for the third-level fire beast to return to its nest and calm down!
After passing through the last barrier, Bihu Sanren finally stepped into the main part of the underground palace.

At this moment, his expression suddenly froze.

There was no formation covering the place where he was!

You can’t say that…

He continued to explore with his spiritual sense and made more discoveries.

Instead, the dangerous and chaotic restrictions outside actually retained a certain stability and order within the main body of the underground palace, covering only the various buildings and maintaining the complete functions of the underground palace!
But at this moment, he felt a slight panic in his heart, as if he was being stared at by something.

He was startled and subconsciously wanted to evacuate, but there was no response from the magnificent palace.

With a final grit of his teeth, he firmly took a slow step towards the lava palace.
