Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 359: The Secret Method of Condensing the Infant! The Sky Realm Tree Finally Reaches the Fourth Stage!

As the cold aura dissipated, the dim light in Hu Wei's eyes faded away, and he immediately returned to his original expression.

He chuckled at Li Ye and said, "Brother Heimu, what mission did the envoy assign you?"

"Yaohua Sect needs to gather manpower to refine the secret treasure, and the envoy ordered me to do my best to get it."

Li Ye said this lightly, and looking at the gloomy look of the Black Wood Taoist, it was impossible to tell what his true mood was.

He looked at Hu Wei, his thoughts constantly turning.

As soon as the envoy opened his mouth, he pointed out that the sect would gather people to refine the secret treasure. However, even Li Ye, who was in charge of Danxiang and Bailian peaks, knew nothing about this. How did he know about it?

Unless there are other Yanshen Sect disciples lurking in the Yaohua Sect, most likely these were collected secretly by Hu Wei.

If there really is someone else who holds a high position, why would they come to find Li Ye to plot against the secret treasure of the Yaohua Sect?

It seems that although this person's realm and status in the sect are not high, he has a deep understanding of many situations in the sect thanks to the special Thousand Thoughts Divine Art.

Who knows, his soul might be lurking in some influential or special person in some sect.

However, when Hu Wei heard Li Ye's answer, he nodded without noticing anything.
"Oh? Calculating the time, it's almost time. The Yaohua Sect has been secretly planning this for many years, and the missing manpower has gradually been replenished. It's time to start..."

His face was filled with solemnity and envy. "That secret treasure is truly miraculous. Brother Heimu, if you can successfully participate in helping the Holy Sect seize it, the envoy will surely give you a generous reward. I'm truly envious!"

"It's too early to talk about this now. I'd better pass the Yaohua Sect's screening first before considering these things. Otherwise, let alone the reward, I can't bear the wrath of the envoy..."

Li Ye waved his hands repeatedly, showing no intention of becoming fanatical about it.

The messenger did mention the reward after the warning.

He directly said that if Li Ye succeeded in this matter, he could teach him a set of secret methods to assist in the formation of the infant, which could increase the success rate of breakthrough by 10 to 20%, and could be superimposed with other infant-forming spiritual objects.

Even if Li Ye cannot find the spiritual object to condense the infant, it is not necessarily a bad idea to take a gamble relying solely on this secret method.

Li Ye was naturally very excited about this!

But to be honest, he never trusted the envoy of Yanshen Sect.

Regardless of whether he really has mastered this wonderful method, Li Ye also doubts whether this person is willing to pass it on to him even if he really has it, instead of using it as a carrot dangling in front of the donkey to drive him to continue to willingly do more for Yanshen Sect.

However, given the current situation, Li Ye is bound to participate in the refining of the sect's secret treasure and cannot avoid it.

He could just agree to it for now and deal with it later... After all, with the trump card he has hidden now, he has the combat power of Nascent Soul, which is more than enough to protect himself when the time comes to overturn the table.

Since coming to the southern border world of immortal cultivation, many spiritual objects have become much easier to obtain. Relying on the channels of Yaohua Sect, Li Ye has already refined his natal puppet to the peak of the third level, and is not far from the quasi-fourth level combat power.

If one could find one of those fourth-order spiritual objects, he could initially give his natal puppet some fourth-order power and magic, and then his combat power would be further improved.

Li Ye already had a way to do this. Among the items that the Yaohua Sect elders were authorized to exchange, there were a few scattered fourth-tier spiritual objects that were perhaps of lower quality and unsuitable for the use of the Grand Elders, and were kept within the sect as incentives.

Among them are things that can be used to sacrifice and refine one's own natal puppet.

Although it is not the best according to what is said in the Tiangong Jing, it will not be a problem to use it temporarily and make up for it gradually in the future.

However, the contribution required is astronomical. Even if Li Ye has made profits in both alchemy and equipment, it will take more than ten years to get it.

If he wants to succeed as soon as possible, he may have to rely on participating in the refining of the secret treasure. Only in this way can the sect give him a generous reward to help him get the fourth-level spiritual object.

Compared to these things that are currently invisible and intangible, there is something right before his eyes that concerns Li Ye even more.

The Sky Realm Tree already had a profound foundation, and after being nourished by the fourth-level spiritual energy, it began to rise steadily, quickly approaching the fourth-level mark.

Since Hu Wei came to visit and the envoy issued a new stage of tasks, Li Ye had not yet waited for the order from Yaohua Sect when the Sky Realm Tree reached the edge of a breakthrough.

…………

"Luckily, I'm now at the fourth level of formations, and I've intercepted some fourth-level spiritual veins. Now I'm able to set up a true fourth-level blockade formation. Otherwise, exposing this tree at this time would not be in my best interest..."

Looking at the Kongjie Tree in front of him, which had already controlled the size of its trunk but still covered half of the mountain like a canopy, Li Ye complained with a smile.

It is not difficult to set up this fourth-level blockade formation, as it only needs to cover the area of the mountain, not to mention the reinforcement of the boundary power of the Sky Realm Tree itself.

Even though the Sky Realm Tree was now filled with spiritual energy and spiritual patterns were constantly emerging on its trunk, not a single fluctuation was transmitted to the outside world.

As for the way trees accumulate energy, the Sky Realm Tree has already completed the corresponding accumulation for its own breakthrough in the past, so there is no need to worry about excessive absorption of spiritual energy this time, causing abnormal movement of the spiritual veins.

As Li Ye waited silently, the spiritual patterns on the Void Realm Tree became more and more complex, and the aura it emitted gradually underwent a qualitative change. The Void Realm evolved accordingly, dividing the area where it was located into the void and forming a whole of its own.

Combined with the blockade formation that had already been set up, it was completely isolated from the outside world, creating an unstable but independent small space.

The surging wood spiritual energy filled with vitality surged wildly in this small space, poured into Li Ye's body, and poured into the Wooden God Cauldron hanging in the air.

This stimulated the improvement of his magic power and blood, consolidated his vitality and lifespan, promoted the evolution of the small space within the Wooden God Cauldron, and promoted its quality improvement.

At this moment, the information on Li Ye's eye panel appeared again.

[The fifth-tier spiritual plant [Jianmu subspecies·Sky Realm Tree] that you are connected to has its rank promoted, its understanding deepened, and its solidified spiritual essence increased by 3%...]
[......]
[You used blood refining techniques to care for the fifth-tier spiritual plant [Jianmu subspecies: Sky Realm Tree], raising its rank. Experience +10000...]
[......]
[The fifth-level spiritual plant [Jianmu subspecies·Sky Realm Tree] reaches a higher level, and you gain [Sky Realm Spiritual Essence]*4...]
[......]
Li Ye was in a trance, suddenly immersed in the perception and feedback of the Sky Realm Tree, and just stood there quietly.

And the seemingly endless spiritual energy around him was still flowing into his body.

The Wooden God Cauldron was hanging above Li Ye's head, and the power between the two was constantly exchanging, serving as a sacrifice to the surging spiritual energy.

The power of plants and the void surged in the cauldron, and the reliefs on the cauldron kept changing. This magic weapon gradually transformed to a higher level.
