Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 314: Lucky Star! New Spiritual Plant!
Li Ye was measuring the monster's skeleton, deducing the details of the transformation, and gradually refining the two newly acquired monsters into puppets.

After following him back to Pingyang Mountain and resting for some time, Xue Chou came to say goodbye.

"Are you leaving now, Fellow Daoist Xue?"

Li Ye was not surprised, but just expressed regret, "We hit it off the moment we met. After today's separation, I don't know when we will meet again."

"In this land of four nations, a figure like you, Fellow Daoist Li, has emerged. I, Xue, feel very fortunate to have made your acquaintance."

Xue Chou forced a smile and said politely, but he looked helpless:
"But our sect ran into trouble. Just as we were bordering another sect, a sudden change occurred. A purple jade mine was unearthed from deep within the earth's veins. Although it was barren, it was still very valuable..."

"Now, the enemy family has set their sights on us and wants to take over the lion's share. They are even taking advantage of the internal weakness of our sect to invade our territory..."

"I can't defend the jade mine, so I'll give it up, but they're trying to invade our sect's spiritual land. This is really going too far!"

"I originally came here to find Junior Brother Zhan to help me deal with this. Now he is dead and gone, but I still need to make plans for the sect. I dare not delay any longer!"

I don’t know if it’s because Li Ye is not a cultivator from the southern border countries.

He actually told Li Ye everything directly, even telling him the key interests involved.

Zilu Jade is considered to be of upper-middle quality among the third-grade spiritual materials and is quite useful in refining magical weapons. Even if it is a poor mine, the profits involved are indeed huge!
"I see……"

Li Ye nodded thoughtfully, but was not very moved.

Xue Chou was surprised to see this, and after a moment of hesitation he said:
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Li has any idea of traveling to the southern border countries to witness the true prosperity of the cultivation world?"

"In my lifetime, I will definitely go on a journey and explore the world."

Li Ye said solemnly.

Xue Chou's eyes lit up: "In that case, I would like to ask for your help to help my Illusion Demon Sect resolve this disaster. As long as you are willing to help, I will not hesitate to treat you with any secret techniques, elixirs or pills!"

"I heard that you are particularly fond of collecting various spiritual plants. My Illusionary Demon Sect also has quite a few collections and cultivations. As long as you are willing to help, I can give you a batch as seedlings!"

As he spoke, the old man listed several spiritual plants and corresponding rare elixir recipes, all of which were things that Li Ye had not collected yet.

Among them, the spirit-avoiding flower has the ability to sense the outside world and avoid disasters, and its medicinal power has a stimulating effect on the spiritual consciousness.

Although this effect is weak and not as good as the auxiliary role of this flower in demonstrating its disaster-avoidance ability, it can still be used.

After hearing this, Li Ye became very interested and felt the urge to get them all.

Seeing Li Ye's unconcealed expression, Xue Chou felt delighted and thought to himself that there was a chance.

He was even willing to take out the sect's treasures for trading, which really meant he was forced into a corner!

If no one came to his aid, not only would he not be able to reap any benefits from the mineral vein, but he would also lose the sect's weak foundation and get into greater trouble.

It would be better to invest some money and see if this person can help him turn the situation around!
Since Zhan Xinrui is already dead, he is now isolated and helpless. Li Ye's magical powers are quite powerful, even better than his junior brother Zhan.

Moreover, Li Ye was born in the world of immortal cultivation of the Four Kingdoms, and had no connection with the sects and forces of the southern border countries, which made it more credible.

If we can recruit him, he will be an excellent foreign aid!

However, at this moment, he heard Li Ye suddenly ask, "Fellow Daoist Xue, you said that your Illusionary Demon Sect was once a Nascent Soul Sect. Does the mountain gate still have a fourth-order spiritual vein?"

"Fourth-level spiritual vein..."

Xue Chou was stunned. For the first time, he felt that Li Ye was a little strange.

But he still shook his head and said, "My Illusionary Demon Sect was only established by the remaining disciples after the sect was destroyed... How could we have the merit to occupy a fourth-level spiritual vein?"

That's a dead end! Sure enough, there's no such thing as a cheap deal!

Li Ye shook his head inwardly, then said, "I do have a strong desire to visit the countries in Southern Xinjiang, but now is not the right time to travel there..."

"I'm deeply sorry for what happened to Fellow Daoist Xue, but it's not convenient for me to go and help..."

He said this with a sincere expression, without any evasion.

Xue Chou got anxious when he saw this.

"Is Fellow Daoist Li dissatisfied with the remuneration? I can still..."

"Fellow Daoist Xue, don't worry!"

Li Ye signaled him to be patient. "Although I don't want to go to the southern border countries at this time, I do have a way to help you..."

"I wonder what you think of my puppets?"

After hearing this, Xue Chou finally came to his senses.

He also knew that Li Ye had given him a puppet before, so he let his foundation-building deacon complete the feat of killing the third-level monster.

This third-level puppet is rare even in the southern border countries. If there is a fight, it can indeed influence the outcome of the war!

I was immediately attracted by it.

Li Ye saw his expression and immediately said with a smile: "If you are interested, Fellow Daoist Xue, you can exchange the spiritual plant pill formula or other treasures you mentioned for a few third-level puppets in my hand..."

"Also, the pig demon I killed earlier is currently being refined into a puppet. After its demonic body is refined into a puppet, its combat power will surely be quite impressive. Daoist friend, would you consider this?"

For him, the puppets no longer play as important a role as before.

Apart from Wuyuan and Jusha, the remaining three...even Jusha and the pig demon can be traded as long as the price is right.

In exchange for those spiritual plant elixir recipes, the improvement that can be brought to him will be far greater than these puppets!
Seeing Li Ye being so generous and almost ready to sell third-level puppets in batches, Xue Chou was a little stunned.

In front of this person, how could he feel that he was the monk who came from the corner of the countryside?

However, he did not hesitate and nodded immediately: "Since fellow Daoist is willing to part with it, I am naturally happy to purchase it, but the price is..."

Li Ye smiled, called Rong Yue to prepare the food, and started to negotiate with the old man.

…………

"Fellow Daoist Xue, take care. I will be waiting for good news."

Li Ye sent Xue Chouli out of Pingyang Mountain and watched him turn into black gas and leave, with the smile on his face still unchanged.

"Zhan Xinrui brought the translation of the Magical Text, and Xue Chou brought many spiritual plant recipes... They are truly my lucky stars!"

The deal has been settled, and all that is left is for this person to return to the sect and collect the spiritual plants and treasures.

And the many spiritual medicines in his third-level spiritual field are about to mature. After harvesting this batch, he can immediately add new spiritual plants and continue to refresh the entries and spiritual essence!

During this period, he will not waste any time in improving himself!

"As long as I plant the Spirit-Repelling Flower, even if I don't have a suitable recipe, I can directly use the spiritual essence to assist my spiritual cultivation..."

"My cultivation speed of the Thousand Thoughts Divine Art will be improved from now on!"
