Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 35 Why didn’t you tell me that you were friends with Li Ye? (Please read on!)

"Fortunately, I can pay with the contribution and spirit stones together, otherwise I would have hesitated..."

After bidding farewell to Old Man Luo and Niu Ba, Li Ye returned to his residence. At this time, he still felt a little painful holding the storage bag.

He also knew that this kind of skills was of great value, and he would definitely not be able to buy it in the outside world for just fifty spirit stones.

That is to say, the sect disciples can practice on their own at a low price.

But Li Ye is still not rich now, and the pills he refines cannot be sold at much price. He is still in the stage of building up his image, and he is used to being a bit stingy.

"In the initial stages of physical training, the demand for things that replenish Qi and blood is still low. Even if I can't refine Qi and Blood Pills yet, a hundred Blood Spirit Essences are enough..."

After taking out the jade slip that copied the Elephant Armor Power, Li Ye began to comprehend and learn.

He had already glanced over the beginning of the content before paying and swearing, and he even took a closer look at the other four techniques on the second floor.

The final result was exactly the same as what Niu Ba said.

Although there was one technique called Mu Kui Body among the incomplete techniques that was more suitable for him, the content was seriously incomplete. Even the introductory part was confusing and seemed to have some major mistakes and omissions.

Li Ye thought that his luck was average, and it was unlikely that he would get the good fortune of finding another way to make up for the missed skills like the Son of Luck.

Instead of aiming too high, it is better to grasp the complete exercises that are available at hand.

He studied it carefully, and time passed quickly. It was not until an hour later that he rubbed his eyes and put down the jade slip tiredly.

This elephant armor power has three levels, corresponding to the three sub-levels of the Qi training period.

"In the initial stages, use boxing techniques supplemented by mana to stimulate the body's adaptation. After entering the stage, you need to strengthen the body and soak it in medicinal soup. If you can maintain a constant flow of Qi and blood, the effect will be even better... until the first level is achieved!"

"As for the follow-up, the consumption will be even greater..."

Shaking his head, Li Ye couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"This path of physical cultivation relies entirely on the accumulation of resources to achieve success! Only those with considerable wealth can practice this. It truly lives up to its reputation!"

But if it were not so, and everyone knew the auxiliary effect of body training on foundation building, why were there so few people practicing body training in the world of cultivation?
If he had not taken over a large area of spiritual fields, and had not been able to continuously gain experience points in addition to the blood spiritual essence, and was not far from raising the level of his pills to a higher level, he would not have had the confidence to continue practicing.

"Although the resource consumption is high, the effect is extraordinary... Not to mention that after achieving great success in cultivation, one can lock in the Qi and blood and prevent it from declining, thus building a foundation without being affected by aging."

"Then I can refine the blood of an elephant fairy for my own use. It's not obvious on ordinary days, but once it is activated and receives the corresponding blessing, my combat power will skyrocket!"

With such potential and combat power, it’s okay if it’s a bit expensive!

Li Ye has already thoroughly understood the introductory boxing techniques and the coordination of magic power.

At this time, he stood up, took off his outer robe, and walked to the courtyard outside the house.

His breathing gradually became even, and he assumed a solid stance, then began to unleash his punches and kicks one by one.

Although the movements are not fast, each one is as regular as possible and filled with a sense of tremendous power.

The magic power in the body also circulates with the movements, stimulating the flesh and blood and causing changes.

After just a few breaths, Li Ye's breathing became heavy, beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his face, and water stains appeared on his clothes.

For beginners, this is the most dangerous time.

If one is not used to this kind of training and fails to coordinate the flow of magic power with the movements of fists and feet, there is a possibility that the magic power will go astray and cause internal injuries!
Fortunately, Li Ye's magic power is now pure and he can control it at will. Although he is unfamiliar with this way of operation, he can still cooperate.

He gritted his teeth and persevered until he finished a set of punches. He was sweating profusely and his clothes were soaked.

The muscles all over the body slowly wriggle, the qi and blood become active, and the whole body seems to have opened a new door!

After his breathing calmed down, Li Ye slowly sat down and directly summoned a stream of blood spiritual essence to begin refining it.

The nature of this substance is equally pure as that of the Green Bud Spirit, but its scent has a fragrance mixed with the smell of blood.

After swallowing it into the stomach, most of it turned into qi, blood and essence after being refined and absorbed into the limbs and bones, and was quickly absorbed by the hungry body.

However, in the blink of an eye, Li Ye, who had just practiced the Elephant Armor Power for the first time, clearly felt that his body and blood seemed to have become stronger!
"Xue Lai Ling Yun really didn't disappoint me..."

Li Ye wiped the sweat off his face, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
"With this aid, I'm confident I can complete the first level even faster than described in the classics!"

…………

Zhang Liangfu carefully handled the magical medicine in front of him, looking nervous and not daring to breathe.

When everything was ready, he slowly covered it with soft soil and finally stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Working in this spiritual medicine garden is much more difficult than working in the spiritual fields outside..."

Zhang Liangfu casually wiped the sweat off his face with the towel draped around his neck, sighing heartily. The spiritual energy here was indeed richer than outside. Simply being there, tending to spiritual plants and casting spells daily, would slightly improve his cultivation.

But the farming task here is also more difficult.

The spiritual plants needed for care are much more precious than the spiritual rice he had grown before. If they are damaged too much, the disciples may even be punished.

Even though Zhang Liangfu had received a lot of guidance from Li Ye when he was outside in the spiritual field, he had never personally touched any spiritual plants. It would still take time for him to fully transform the theory into his own foundation.

In this case, he can only be more careful.

"I don't know how Junior Brother Li is doing now. I heard that he was noticed by a certain elder and became a spiritual plant disciple in his cave abode's spiritual field..."

"This is almost a leap to heaven, right? Junior Brother Li is truly extraordinary..."

He also wanted to visit Li Ye and ask for some advice.

But now Li Ye's status has been greatly improved compared to him, unlike when the two were equal in the sect's spiritual field.

Even someone as outspoken as him couldn't help but hesitate at this moment, worried that Li Ye would think he was trying to curry favor with her and didn't want to be disturbed by him.

"Hey! Lao Zhang, come and give me a hand!"

Suddenly, the shouts of the spiritual farmer disciples on the other side of the field woke Zhang Liangfu from his chaotic thoughts. He quickly replied,
"Hey! Come on!"

Since he came here, his cultivation was low and his skills were not outstanding. Even if Zhang Liangfu made friends with other Lingnong disciples, he would still be in a low position.

If you want to get some advice from others, you naturally have to do free labor for them.

These have become habits for Zhang Liangfu.

He ran quickly to the field and started working in the field according to the disciple's instructions.

Suddenly, I heard a faint commotion coming from the entrance of the medicine garden, with people talking.

What surprised Zhang Liangfu was that the noisy sound was getting closer and closer, and seemed to be moving towards him.

"Senior Brothers Yao and Gu are back! Their skills are among the best among us, and they are not far from the second level!"

The Lingnong disciple in front of Zhang Liangfu looked up and was surprised.

These two names seemed familiar. Zhang Liangfu thought silently, but did not raise his head to look around. He just focused on the matter at hand.

"Hmm...why are they coming towards us?"

The disciple muttered something unexpectedly, and his voice quickly became smaller.

"Is Junior Brother Zhang Liangfu here?"

A kind voice sounded, and Zhang Liangfu was startled. He saw the Lingnong disciple in front of him hurriedly replying,

"Exactly!"

"Lao Zhang, get up quickly! Two senior brothers are coming!"

He patted Zhang Liangfu on the shoulder and half-pulled him up.

Zhang Liangfu looked at the smiling young man in shorts and the rough man in front of him, and was completely confused.

The short-sleeved young man took out a jade slip from his storage bag and handed it over.

"Junior Brother Zhang, I'm Yao Shaohui, and this is Senior Brother Gu Dao Jingu... Junior Brother Li asked me to give this to you."

"From now on, if you have any questions, you can come to us!"

"Junior Brother Li..."

Zhang Liangfu held the jade slip in his hand, stunned.

The disciple beside him frowned slightly, "Junior Brother Li... could it be Li Ye?"

"That's right!" Gu Daojin nodded and looked at the man with a slightly unfriendly expression.

He knew everything about this spiritual plant garden!
The disciple was a little flustered when he saw this, and he complained to Zhang Liangfu.

"Old Zhang, why didn't you tell me that you were on good terms with Li Ye?"

If you had told me that, how would I dare to order you around like this!
"Ha ha……"

Zhang Liangfu just shook his head and smiled foolishly.
