Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 305 Hundred Years Old
Ou Cha's breakthrough was just an insignificant episode in Li Ye's farming practice.

Apart from having a fellow Taoist who can talk to him as an equal and discuss Taoism from time to time, there doesn't seem to be much other changes.

However, now that Qiandao Water City has a Jindan like him, if he is more active on a daily basis, he might be able to discover some third-level spiritual plants that ordinary cultivators cannot find.

It would be good enough as long as you can give yourself a little surprise from time to time like [Qing Ling] and [Tong Tian].

Li Ye looked at the spiritual plants that had been moved here and there for cultivation under the Kongjie tree over the past ten years, and thought lightly in his heart.

Although the chance of triggering is frighteningly small.

But in the end, the scale of Li Ye's farming this time was far beyond the past.

over the years.

He successively activated the [Green Spirit] effect, giving birth to spirit plants including the Forged Golden Bamboo, Water Moon Lotus, and Black Heart Grass. The first two belonged to gold and water respectively, while the latter was a poisonous weed.

Now surrounded by the Sky Realm Tree, it not only has the uplifting effect of the aura emitted by the high-level spiritual plants, but also can be nourished by the rich and pure spiritual energy at the center of the formation, and grows very fast.

They also serve as living array eyes, completing the power structure of the Blue Sky Tree Sea Array.

The Qingluo Wood Spirit that Li Ye first stimulated has now grown to the middle level of the second stage, and the little snake that it transformed into is becoming more robust and energetic.

The original state is obviously much larger and more crystal clear than other similar ones that have been elevated by it.

"Spiritual plants and creatures, if we can really cultivate a group of powerful enough spiritual plants and monsters, they would be more reliable to me than any spiritual beasts..."

After looking at the condition of each spiritual plant, Li Ye thought silently.

After all, all the connections between Mu Ling and Li Ye are based on the panel. No matter how powerful other secret techniques are, they cannot compare with it.

His path of farming and cultivation is to continuously plant a large number of spiritual plants and cultivate them.

By the way, you can gain loyal subordinates and obtain higher-level spiritual plants. Isn't this less troublesome than raising spiritual beasts?
"Hmm...but if I come across a well-behaved and obedient spirit beast with a talent for tending the fields, I might consider taking it!"

He looked at each spiritual plant one by one, took care of and adjusted each one slightly, then walked in another direction while smiling.

Although there are poisonous insects and many spiritual farmers to take care of them, it is said that some spiritual beasts have special magical powers to take care of spiritual plants.

If you can raise two of them, maybe you can get better cultivation results for the spiritual plants in addition to the attribute bonus?

After a few steps, Li Ye arrived at a spiritual field that was covered by a formation of one acre and condensed spiritual energy to raise its grade.

In the field, tiny branches emerged from the ground, dotted with a few green and golden grass leaves, and hanging with two small red fruits, small and cute.

However, all the essence is gathered underground, without showing any magical properties at all.

In addition to those wood spirits, Li Ye was also lucky enough to upgrade a second-level earth dragon ginseng to the third level in the past two years.

In addition to being the main ingredient in foundation-building pills and first-level longevity pills, this kind of spiritual plant is only used in a few precious earth-moving pill recipes. But even so, its value is quite high among second-level spiritual plants.

However, this time, Li Ye cultivated this thing basically for its entries and spiritual essence. Apart from a part of it being cultivated for the foundation-building pill, most of it was harvested regularly for the purpose of brushing the spiritual essence.

As the spiritual essence produced seemed to have weakened the effect of the Wood God Cauldron's refining, they were already preparing to replace it with other second-level earth-type spiritual plants of higher grade.

I never thought that this ginseng could be upgraded to the third level.

Although Li Ye could not use it much due to its medicinal properties, at most he would try to use it in conjunction with the Gangji Fruit to enhance its body-strengthening effect.

However, the item produced by Earth Dragon Ginseng is essential to Li Ye, as it is [Earth Spirit], one of the five elements required to synthesize [Green Spirit]!
Just for this effect, even if it is just to upgrade his spiritual body to the third level [Qing Ling], he must plant this spiritual ginseng!
Therefore, he directly allocated an acre of second-level spiritual farmland, optimized the previous spiritual gathering method, and steadily upgraded the farmland to the third level. He forcibly divided a single earth dragon ginseng plant into hundreds of plants, filling an acre of farmland!
Although the growth progress has lagged behind those of the first batch of third-level spiritual plants, there is still plenty of time, so there is no need to rush for the next ten years.

"Unfortunately, the attribute granted by the Golden Bamboo is [Tenacity] instead of [Golden Spirit]. Even if its Wood Spirit is cultivated to the third level, the final feedback attribute will most likely overlap with that of the Soaring Cloud Bamboo..."

"Even if I include the Spring Se Flower, Earth Dragon Ginseng, and the Shuiyue Water Spirit that still needs to be cultivated, I have only gathered three of the five elements. The gold and fire elements still lack the corresponding third-level spiritual plants..."

Li Ye shook his head. "I'm still a long way from reaching the third level of [Green Spirit]. Although it's a little easier to collect than spiritual roots like the Sky Realm Tree, it's still just as complicated!"

He smiled and said, "But luckily I have plenty of time, so I'll just take my time..."

"After all, my planting skills have reached the fourth level now. With all the attributes added to my skills, it's easy for me to control these second and third level spiritual plants. It's only a matter of time before I can gather all five elements!"

………………

Three years later.

Today is a little different.

Li Ye came out early, casually arranged a few side dishes, dismissed the servants, and sat alone in the newly built pavilion by the lake in the mountains.

He took a sip of the magical tea "Bitterness Ends Sweetness" that he had grown, roasted and blended himself.

The bitter taste in the mouth gradually rises as if it is unbearable, and finally a hint of sweetness emerges, and finally only the fragrance of tea remains in the mouth.

Li Ye suddenly smiled. "Within the Azure Sky Tree Sea formation, the influence of external weather changes is almost negligible. Being in the mountains, I almost forgot the passage of time... I almost missed this day!"

"In the blink of an eye, I'm already a hundred years old!"

He looked at his crystal-clear jade-like hands, and gently stroked his young face. The memories of his past life came flooding back, and he suddenly felt a little bit unbelievable.

One hundred years old.

As far as Li Ye's previous life was concerned, a hundred years old was already the maximum lifespan an ordinary person could achieve.

But for him now, it seems that he is still too young.

A cultivator who achieved the Golden Elixir before the age of a hundred would be considered a genius with outstanding talent, even in any major Nascent Soul sect!

After today, at this final age, he will no longer have any connection with the ordinary person in his previous life.

"I don't know how time passes in this different world. Will I ever have the chance to go home and see my parents again..."

He sighed softly, revealing a rare loneliness.

To be a stranger in a foreign country alone, think of love every time during the festive season.

At the age of one hundred, even though Li Ye has already accepted everything, he still can't help but feel sentimental.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly drank the spiritual tea, letting the bitterness burst out in his mouth, and laughed instead.

"Ha! Since I can come to this world, I can definitely go back. When I reach the peak of the Great Dao, I will return to my hometown and even reverse the course of time..."

"There's no need to be sad, let's just keep going!"

At this time, the bitterness is gone, and only sweetness remains in the mouth.
