Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 211: Level Pursuit, Beauty Fades

However, if one really wants to form an elixir through the method of body refining, once the elixir of qi and blood is formed, it is almost equivalent to laying the foundation for the direction of one's own practice.

It was obvious that Li Ye could not continue on the path of practicing the Wood God Technique smoothly.

He would also be unable to fully cultivate the Wood God Technique to the highest level.

It will become similar to the current position of Tianji Economics, becoming a supplement to the means of fighting rather than the main subject.

To be honest, if there was no panel, a golden finger that completely relied on spiritual plants, Li Ye would not even hesitate and would directly plunge into the path of proving the truth with force!

After all, although this path lacks a single method, its combat power is so strong that even at the Jindan level, it is no longer subject to any close combat restrictions.

The immense strength can be transformed into physical magical powers to teach people how powerful it is.

Not to mention, these disadvantages of physical cultivation are not the disadvantages of someone like Li Ye who masters many skills.

If one has a strong enough talent and can break through to the Golden Core stage early, what's wrong with traveling across the four countries?
But Li Ye still had to hold back for the time being.

Since the panel is closely related to the spiritual plants, the various secret methods of the Wood God Technique are extremely compatible with it. With the two methods complementing each other, Li Ye's potential for practicing the Way of Wood is actually far beyond body refining.

After reaching the Golden Core stage, the interaction between the panel and the Wood God Technique still allowed him to maintain a rapid pace of practice.

And more entry bonuses!
Even his talent for body refining was developed through farming!

Now he is somewhat confident in forming a pill, and unless something unexpected happens later, he is not going to change his ways even if his talent in body refining is better at the moment.

"But this change in my physical condition actually improves my cultivation aptitude..."

A thoughtful look appeared in Li Ye's eyes.

Although it was not intuitive, the blood transfusion and marrow cleansing, as well as the detoxification of his internal organs, cleared away the already few impurities and toxins in his body.

Now his body has become somewhat close to its innate state. Although it is still limited by his spiritual roots, the efficiency of absorbing and utilizing spiritual energy should have been improved to a certain extent.

Compared with other cultivators with high-grade spiritual roots, he must be superior!
"Strictly speaking, my current physical condition may be closer to the Golden Core stage..."

"And there's this..."

He slapped his storage bag, and the top-grade spiritual weapon, the Qingfeng Sword, flew out. The sapphire spiritual light was condensed, and it was so sharp that it stung the skin.

Suppressing his physical cultivation as much as possible, Li Ye urged the Qingfeng Sword to slash across his arm.

The sword was extremely sharp to begin with, and the membrane defense formed by the fusion of dragon scales and tiger skin was suppressed, so it easily cut a wound on his arm that was almost to the bone.

The crystal red blood, like a gem, was about to spray out, but it seemed to be firmly absorbed. Before it could flow out, the wound stopped bleeding quickly and healed rapidly.

But after a moment, it closed by itself, leaving only a faint bloodstain, and it was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I haven't even stimulated the vitality to speed up recovery, but it has such an effect. The vitality in the flesh and blood is truly astonishing..."

"With this state, even if I get injured during my training, my tendons, veins, and internal organs should be able to withstand it. I don't need to be so cautious, and I can try all kinds of secret techniques..."

Li Ye's eyes lit up.

Although he has not awakened any spirits, the three items that have been bestowed upon him are much stronger than many spirits!
There is still room for improvement in these terms.

Taking the [vitality] entry as an example, his body now has such self-healing ability.

If he keeps improving, Li Ye feels that it is not impossible for him to reach the legendary realm of being born from a drop of blood one day!
"With the control panel, as long as I collect spiritual plants and cultivate them well, my path of cultivation will become stronger and stronger, and I will definitely make great progress through accumulation!"

Li Ye was deeply moved.

………………

With the verification of Qingxuan rice, Li Ye was completely certain that the solidified spiritual essence entries given by ordinary spiritual plants would be sublimated after reaching the third level, which could provide blessings for himself and enhance his foundation.

This immediately ignited Li Ye's mind, and he began to actively collect seedlings of third-level spiritual plants. However, in the four countries' cultivation world, spiritual energy and resources were scarce, and there were very few spiritual lands that could support the growth of third-level spiritual plants.

Judging from the contents of Bihu's notes, most of them are already in the hands of the Jindan Sect.

This is not Li Ye’s turn at all.

Even if some mature and old third-level spiritual plants were accidentally discovered by others, as long as the other party had the intention to sell them, they would be quickly collected and handed over to the forces of the Four Kingdoms' Golden Elixir throughout the country.

It’s not Li Ye’s turn either!
But the third-level spiritual plant seedlings are different...

Even though they are equally precious and are collected by the Jindan Sect in large quantities, their priority is ultimately lower.

This might mean that Li Ye could get to the Jindan Sect first and intercept it.

Even if there is only one, relying on the two secret methods of Qingmu Divine Light and Mushen True Fire, he can always gradually give birth to enough spiritual plants by spending some potential and foundation, which will become the beginning of his accumulation of entries.

However, these four countries have been controlled by the four major Jindan sects and their influence is widespread. Even if the seedlings are not so valued, it is not something that Li Ye can easily snatch from the tiger's mouth on a whim.

He had anticipated this, and although he was looking forward to it, he was also prepared for a long period of collecting.

Just think of it as a little expectation and entertainment besides practicing.

In this way, another five years passed by in a hurry.

It has been almost ten years since Li Ye reached the late stage of foundation building.

"Are you ready?"

Li Ye looked at Hong Yao with a determined expression and asked softly.

After many years, the woman's face remained the same as when she first entered Pingyang Mountain.

But the inner beauty that was hidden back then has now fully matured and become even more charming and attractive, with an added touch of flavor brought by time.

"Only by achieving the Foundation Establishment can I preserve my beauty and youth, and continue to serve the young master... I beg for your help, young master!"

Hong Yao bowed deeply, showing no intention of retreating.

No one knew what had happened, but Li Ye, who was already full of vitality a few years ago, suddenly looked even younger in the eyes of the maids.

When serving, the vitality revealed in their skin, hair and other details made them feel even more helpless compared to their bodies which seemed unchanged but were actually showing signs of old age.

Shortly after that, Xia Qiong, the youngest but most talented of the four maids, was the first to complete her Qi training and received the Foundation Establishment Pill from Li Ye.

Thoroughly prepared, but failed!
Although he saved his life with the secret method taught by Li Ye, his vitality was severely damaged. He looked even more haggard, and he could hardly hide the decline of his appearance.

After Xia Qiong recovered from her injuries for a while, she immediately asked Li Ye to resign, saying that she missed her family and hoped for his approval.

That time, Li Ye was silent for a long time, but finally agreed.

As for the remaining three people, they all knew why Xia Qiong resigned, and they also did not want to end up like her.

Afterwards, Rong Yue and Ruan Jin successively completed their cultivation and attempted to build their foundation.

Rong Yue succeeded.

Ruan Jin's obsession may have been too deep, which affected her breakthrough.

After failing to break through, he went crazy on the spot. Even the secret method taught by Li Ye could not suppress it. He became haggard and almost changed his appearance. He resigned and left before his injuries were healed and he was able to move.

Now, it is finally Hongyao's turn.

　I have a problem with my back, and now I can't sit still. I have to get up and move around after coding for a few seconds. I can't sit still any longer. I'll update twice today. I'll try a different chair tomorrow and try to resume normal updates.
