Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 342 Unexpected
The fourth-level glove and boxing glove magic weapon has overlapping armor plates and an overall dark gray-black color, which is inconspicuous at first glance.

Li Ye looked at it carefully with his spiritual consciousness and was a little surprised.

"How come this treasure can be used as a puppet accessory..."

He clearly saw some traces of mechanical interfaces in it, which were completely consistent with what was written in the Tiangong Sutra. Could it be that it was specially refined for use with his own natal puppet?

But having said that, this item obviously does not hinder the cultivators from refining it and wearing it as hand armor and boxing gloves... Judging from its characteristics, it is most likely suitable for physical cultivation and can enhance the power of fists and feet.

“It just meets my needs!”

He laughed.

Li Ye expects that the first combat powers to be upgraded to the fourth level will be puppets and body refining.

The method of body refining is related to his own survival ability. Even if he needs to use it, he should refine it first and then use it.

Unless there is another replacement in the future, it will not be too late to consider handing it over to its own puppet for use.

"Such a harvest is truly worth all my years of preparation..."

Li Ye touched his chin and couldn't help but think of the ancient ghost with many souls blended together.

Judging from the name stated on the token he took out, he was most likely Zhou Luning, one of the Nascent Soul Elders who accompanied him that year.

Although he did not turn into a fire beast after his death, his residual soul was bound by the Tiangong Palace, barely able to survive but unable to leave. This was why he later planned to target Li Ye, who had cultivated the Tiangong Sutra.

If Li Ye had not condensed his split soul and relied on the [Balance] term to smelt Yin and Yang to create the Great Yin and Yang Green Wood Divine Thunder, which had absolute restraint over ghosts and monsters, he might not have been able to kill it today and successfully seize the inheritance authority of the Tiangong Palace.

"The real power of the Tiangong Palace lies in the Western Desert. Due to the turbulent changes in the ancient world, travel between the five regions has become much more difficult. I wonder if the Tiangong Palace still has any power after ten thousand years..."

Li Ye's hair was scattered and he thought of some questions.

Although the Tiangong Temple is now basically abandoned, it will take hundreds of years for it to resume operation through its self-repair mechanism.

But no matter what, he is now considered to be the one who has inherited the pinnacle achievements of the mechanical technology of the Tiangong Hall, a divine power.

If we calculate based on authority, perhaps even in the Tiangong Palace back then, he would have held a very important position in the sect.

But he didn't think the other party would really recognize this thing. Not to mention whether the Tiangong Temple still existed, if there were any forces that inherited his Taoist tradition now, I'm afraid they would not welcome him back and make him an elder after knowing the existence of the Tiangong Temple.

Most of them are covetous and want to demand that he return the treasures of his sect. If he refuses, they will attack him together.

However, the Tiangong Palace was far away in the Western Desert, so such problems were quite far away for him.

What is more likely to cause problems is perhaps the Kongjie Tree, the inherited sacred tree of the Mu Shen Sect, a branch of the Hua Shen Sect in Southern Xinjiang.

Even though Li Ye has always kept it hidden very deeply, and no cultivator has ever seen the full appearance of this tree, even if the news of the ancient tree's secret realm spread widely, if he were to go to the southern border countries to find a large group of tree planters to advance, it is possible that he would cause some commotion and allow others to see the truth of the Void Realm Tree.

The envy that will be aroused by then will probably be huge.

At this time he sighed with regret.

Originally, Li Ye did think that the spiritual vein contained in the Tiangong Palace was of the fourth level.

But before activating the "sacrifice the car to save the driver" mechanism and leaving, he inquired about the Tiangong Core, but the result he got disappointed him greatly!
The Tiangong Hall did possess a unique method for carrying spiritual veins, but it was completely incapable of carrying a fourth-order spiritual vein. The spiritual veins it controlled were actually only at the third order. The reason it possessed this fourth-order spiritual energy was entirely due to the hall's special layout.

By coordinating mechanical techniques with formations, while absorbing and transforming the surrounding spiritual energy for his own use, and gradually condensing and blending it with the spiritual veins through the formation covering the entire hall, he was able to maintain the fourth-level spiritual energy in this small area to keep the hall running.

It is located underground, and is supported by an endless supply of earth and fire veins, which just meets this need.

But now the hall is severely damaged and the spiritual energy gathering mechanism is ineffective. Even if the Tiangong Hall is finally reorganized, it may not be able to maintain the fourth-level spiritual energy.

Such means have exceeded the upper limit of general spirit gathering methods.

As the spiritual energy level increases, it becomes extremely difficult to improve the spiritual energy level by using the spirit gathering method as at the lower level.

Even if Li Ye seized all the third-level spiritual veins in the four countries, he would not be able to create a stable fourth-level spiritual environment to meet the needs of the Sky Realm Tree.

However, these miraculous methods, including the drawings of the Tiangong Hall, are not recorded in the Tiangong Core. According to him, they are only collected in the mountain gate of the Tiangong Hall.

This is to prevent the main hall from falling one day and allowing foreign enemies to obtain the essence of the sect.

Of course Li Ye understood this principle, but regardless of whether this force still exists today, even if it has been passed down, it is far away in the Western Desert and it is not something that Li Ye can get hold of now.

This meant he had no choice but to try to arrange the spirit gathering method on his own.

Originally, he had already planned to move the Sky Realm Tree to the Tiangong Palace after it was reorganized and plant the tree there in peace.

Now it seems that we have to visit the countries in southern Xinjiang.

"Well, that's fine! With my current magical powers, as long as I make breakthroughs in both body refining and puppetry, I can even face off against Nascent Soul cultivators. Even if the countries in southern Xinjiang are in a dangerous place, why can't I venture into them?"

Li Ye shook his head. "Besides planting trees, it's unreliable to rely on Xue Chou to pass on information about other Infant Condensation Spiritual Objects. Only if I go there in person can I avoid missing out on the opportunity!"

For him, being cautious is just a habit, and being fearless is not an end but a means. When the time comes to take action, he will naturally not cling to the mindless farming in one place.

"Hmm...but everything still depends on my progress in cultivation. I'll talk about this again when I reach the fourth stage of physical cultivation!"

………………

The Tiangong Hall has officially entered the reorganization phase. Every once in a while, there will be some unrest reported from underground, causing the fire veins to move abnormally.

But in the end, it was still under control. With the ban issued by Master Li and the many fire beasts becoming active again, even though some cultivators were curious about this unusual phenomenon, in the end, not many cultivators tried to sneak underground to look for opportunities.

Even though the changes in the Tiangong Palace were suppressed in this way, they did not cause any commotion among the cultivators.

Li Ye, who had gained many benefits from entering the underground world, began to practice cultivation and gradually digest the benefits he had gained.

There are basically no spiritual medicines left in the Tiangong Hall. Most of them are solid materials used for refining various treasures and puppets, but many of them can be used as gold and stone minerals for refining pills and to strengthen the body.

Although this method has a toxicity far greater than that of plants, Li Ye's current physical condition is no longer human and he is fully capable of undergoing the treatment, so he does not have so many concerns.

By using it in this way, combined with the existing elixirs, his body refining efficiency was greatly improved, and reaching the late third stage was just around the corner.
