Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 217 Visiting Water City
"This Thousand Islands Water City is acting so ruthlessly, actually allowing the Nine Tripods Valley to lead their army to attack them. I'm afraid they have some hidden cards in the city, just waiting for the Nine Tripods to come and kill them?"

Li Yeyin's spiritual light disappeared, his aura withered away, and he completely transformed into a cloud that floated forward over Qiandao Lake, seemingly slowly but actually quickly.

Things have progressed to this point. Whether he wants to help Bihu Sanren's disciples or wants to get their collection of frost water, he has to come here eventually.

Although the army led by Jiuding Valley tried their best to surround Qiandao Lake, the encirclement formed by the teams with varying levels of cultivation was practically non-existent for Li Ye, who was alone.

It didn't take much effort to enter Qiandao Lake.

He observed along the way, taking into account the distribution of the various islands and areas that might serve as formation nodes, but he could not find any signs of using the lake to construct a large formation to trap and kill the invaders.

The only discovery was that most of these islands were empty and quite quiet.

According to the intelligence collected previously, most of them seemed to have fled early, and the others may have moved to Qiandao Water City.

The next thing we saw were some scattered monks wandering around.

At this time, looking at their cautious and serious attitude, perhaps they were the scouts who reported back in time from the patrol.

However, Li Ye has studied for many years and has developed a method of concealing his breath by combining talismans, secret techniques of spiritual consciousness, and physical cultivation methods, among other methods.

Naturally, these monks had no way of finding any trace of him.

In this way, Li Ye went deeper and deeper. The number of cultivators along the way gradually increased, and most of them seemed to be gathering towards Qiandao Water City.

Perhaps with the arrival of the Jiuding Valley army, Qiandao Water City began to recall the monks who were still on duty and patrolling outside, in preparation for the battle!

With so many people, no one might discover his whereabouts. Li Ye changed his route, avoided the crowd, and came to the vicinity of Qiandao Water City.

This was the first time he had seen this city with his own eyes. Before this, his understanding of this huge city that made extremely thorough use of water was basically through the notes of Bihu Sanren.

In it, almost every detail of how he built this place from scratch and gradually expanded it to its current size is recorded.

It can be said to be the biggest and deepest mark he left in this world in his life!

With Li Ye's attainments in formations and his understanding of the city from his notes, he could see many details of the city in just a few glances, as well as the state of the formation now being self-contained under the circulation of water.

"Senior Bihu, if you hadn't run into the lava underground palace before your death and were killed by the old monster inside, which is a bit regrettable, your life would actually be quite worthwhile..."

"At least the other three families inherited their wealth from their predecessors, but you are the only one who has truly built your business from scratch and achieved this level!"

Admiring this vast and magnificent city with great water beauty, Li Ye sighed softly.

When he thought that this place would soon be ravaged by war, and that this formation and this city might become ruins after today, he sighed again.

No matter how powerful you are during your lifetime, once you die, no matter how magnificent the traces you leave behind are, they will eventually be covered up.

But maybe Bihu Sanren himself didn’t expect that this day would come so soon!
Now the Thousand Islands Water City formation has been fully activated, the power of the void isolates the inside and the outside, and martial law is extremely tight around the entire city.

After seeing it, Li Ye did not stay for long and left.

Be prepared to pick a suitable hiding place.

In fact, with his skills in formations and his understanding of this place, it is completely enough for him to try to sneak in quietly without causing any noise.

But who knows how the Thousand Islands Water City is going to deal with the Nine Ding Valley army next? What if they use some demonic means to squeeze the flesh and blood of the monks in the city to increase the power of the formation or the black dragon?

Wouldn't he have walked into a trap then?
It was obvious that I came here to look for an opportunity, so it was naturally impossible for me to do something like handing my life and property into the hands of others!

…………

"Ok?"

At the heart of the city's formation, a young man, absorbed in the formation, suddenly snorted, his eyes filled with confusion. "What's wrong, Junior Brother?"

The middle-aged monk who was waiting beside him seriously asked hurriedly.

This person was none other than the one who had been waiting beside Bihu Sanren at the beginning, and was also the current person in charge of Qiandao Water City, Oucha.

The young man whom he called "Junior Brother" was the youngest disciple of Bihu Sanren. He also had considerable talent in formation and had now achieved the third-level formation attainment, Song Hongguang.

"nothing……"

Song Hongguang carefully recalled the captured footage, but couldn't find anything wrong, so he shook his head.

"Just now, the formation seemed to have a weak reaction to a certain place, as if there was a cultivator hiding there. Perhaps the formation's restrictions made a mistake."

"As long as nothing happens."

Ou Cha seemed to be relieved, and patted Song Hongguang's shoulder and said solemnly:
"This time, we're going to counterattack and annihilate that old villain Jiudingzi and his men. The key lies in coordinating with Senior Black Dragon on this formation. We must not allow any mistakes!"

"No matter what methods he has, as long as the formation is in place, we will definitely be able to stop him completely!"

Song Hongguang nodded heavily, "Brother, don't worry. This is a matter of life and death for our city. I will definitely concentrate on it and will not make any mistakes!"

………………

"It's fine here..."

Not far from Qiandao Water City, Li Ye pressed down the clouds on a small deserted island without any spiritual energy.

He had released poisonous insects and small puppets to check the place, but found no remaining means, nor any trace of monks.

Such an inconspicuous place is perfect for him to hide.

With a ground escape talisman slapped on his body, Li Ye sank to the center of the underground of the deserted island, then directly opened up a small space in it and set up a formation to cover up all traces.

Then, an idea came to him.

A puppet with armor integrated into it and its head and face completely covered by a helmet flew out from the storage bag.

There seemed to be black and blue water flowing on his body, which was almost exactly the same as the true energy shield of the golden elixir. With a slight adjustment, the power aura of the golden elixir level was revealed!
Li Ye raised his hand and made a hand gesture, then focused most of his attention on his natal puppet, and its movements became agile.

Then he put the storage jade pendant he got from Bihu Sanren into the puppet's opened chest.

It was already filled with all the things he needed, and with the jade pendant inside, he wasn't afraid of it being easily broken.

everything's ready.

After several days passed, Li Ye, who was debugging the puppet, suddenly changed his expression.

The measures he had arranged along the way were triggered!

"With all this commotion, Jiuding Valley has already led the allied forces towards Qiandao Lake..."

"It's time for the puppet to move!"

Li Ye murmured.

The puppet in front of him suddenly turned into a stream of water, passed through the formation and the rock wall, and disappeared into the lake.
