Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 368: Just what I need! Lifespan is a spiritual object!

"The cost of this auxiliary method is too high. This is simply not a method that ordinary cultivators can use!"

Li Ye looked like he had been deceived by Mo Da.

“But it works!”

The messenger spoke lightly without any intention of explaining further, but stretched out his hand and waved towards Li Ye.

He has already given the secret method of condensing the infant, and now it is Li Ye's turn.

Li Ye sighed, took out a jade slip and handed it to him.

The envoy was very satisfied after seeing it. "Yes! You are indeed an extraordinary person. It is really appropriate to send you here..."

"Just keep working hard. If you can gain Hua Chi's favor and obtain the complete secret method of faking an infant in the future, I will definitely reward you!"

"If all the rewards are like this Infant Condensation Secret Method, I am afraid I am not lucky enough to enjoy it..."

Li Ye replied indignantly.

The messenger chuckled and his soul retreated.

…………

"This messenger is quite moody. He's just trying to fulfill a portion of his promise, yet he's showing his displeasure... I wonder if he's truly accustomed to manipulating others, or if he's just putting on an act for me!"

After seeing Hu Wei off, Li Ye touched his chin and thought to himself.

After all, the emotions he just expressed were an act. Who knows if the messenger was acting the same way, wanting to leave such an impression on him so that he could set traps for him in other places in the future?
But no matter whether he was true or not, Li Ye never had the slightest trust in him. Moreover, because he had a special sensitivity to the split spirit and split soul cultivated by the Thousand Thoughts Divine Art, he could also take precautions against his methods early on.

As for the secret method of condensing the infant given by this person, from Li Ye's current level of Taoism, there should be no problem.

But its effectiveness is indeed a bit problematic.

This method can indeed help cultivators increase their success rate when breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, but it requires burning their lifespan.

For it to be effective, one must have a lifespan of at least fifty years, and once it is in operation, it cannot be stopped unless the infant is successfully condensed.

You must know that even for the most talented cultivator in the human world, if he is not restricted by other conditions, it will take at least two to three hundred years to achieve the perfection of the Golden Elixir.

If he were to break through again like this, he would basically only have about two hundred years left to live...

But many monks are not so well-off!

The vast majority of cultivators who have reached the perfection of the Golden Elixir may not even have a hundred years left to live!
This often starts with a lifespan of fifty years. I'm afraid that when trying to break through, one might die before completing the breakthrough!
"Such a deceptive and completely reckless secret method, I'm afraid it wasn't developed by the Yanshen Sect just to cultivate clones?"

Li Ye shook his head and complained.

After all, the lifespan of the clone is largely inherited from the body it has taken over. Even if it is directly burned to ashes, at most it will only be the loss of a clone, and the original body will suffer some backlash.

Compared to the benefits of actually cultivating a Nascent Soul clone, this loss is naturally nothing!

But should it be given to normal monks to use?

Even though breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is a life-or-death struggle, there probably aren't many people who have enough lifespan to make this attempt.

"Even my apparent age is almost three hundred years old, and my cultivation level is only at the middle stage of the Golden Core. Normally, by the time I reach the late stage of the Golden Core, I'm afraid my life span will be numbered. How can I have the longevity to use such a secret technique?" Li Ye calculated, and his expression became more and more strange.

When the messenger heard that what he wanted was just the secret method of Condensing Infant, his expression improved a lot and he agreed without saying anything. He even chuckled a few times when he left after seeing Li Ye's angry reaction, and his joking intention was clearly revealed.

Obviously, he had also calculated the bottleneck and found Li Ye's plan quite ridiculous.

"But how could you know that I have so much lifespan that I can't use it all... This secret technique is just what I need!"

He laughed too.

After the Sky Realm Tree advanced to the fourth stage this time, it could feedback four Sky Realm spiritual essences at a time. Not only would its lifespan not be reduced in a year, but it could also be extended by three years.

Taking into account the life span he had accumulated in the past, it has now exceeded a thousand years.

With his lifespan, using this method to burn his lifespan can help catalyze the formation of his Nascent Soul. If he can't do it, others will have no chance of doing so!

With joy surging in his heart, Li Ye murmured softly:

"So, if this method burns more lifespan, its effectiveness will be stronger. Perhaps, without the aid of a Nascent Soul Condensing Spirit Object, I can attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage just by burning lifespan and condensing the Nascent Soul..."

In other words, this time when he breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, his life span becomes the spiritual object that makes him a Nascent Soul.

But the messenger used such a deceptive secret method as a reward to attract him in the first place, which really showed that he had no good intentions... Now the hatred has deepened!
Once the Nascent Soul is achieved, Li Ye will definitely make him pay the price!

"But you still need to pay more attention to the Infant Condensation Spirit Item. If you really can't get it, there's no need to force it... But as for this treasure that can resist inner demons and heavenly tribulations, you still have to strive for it."

Li Ye is not a good person, and his character is not perfect.

Although he had resolved all the problems of his previous life, he still had many worries and desires in his heart, which would surely break through his heart in the calamity of his inner demons.

Without the help of treasures, he really didn't have much confidence in completing the breakthrough on his own!

In comparison, he has the assistance of entries in the path of heavenly tribulation, and he can use his natal puppet. His own fourth-level body refining is no joke. Even if his Nascent Soul magic power is not stable after the breakthrough, he still has many means to deal with it.

At most, it would be an additional protective magic weapon to deal with thunder disasters as insurance.

"Inner demons... Unfortunately, methods to deal with them, whether they be related magic weapons, secret techniques, or elixirs, are all rare. Even those who can influence the fate of inner demons are rarer. Even in the Tiangong Sutra and the Wood God Sutra, there are only some records but no directly applicable methods. I still have to find them myself!"

Fortunately, given the vastness of southern Xinjiang, no matter how rare these treasures are, they will eventually appear from time to time.

It's hard to say about those idle opportunities, but those really big auction houses might have related treasures for auction, and he can naturally compete for one or two.

"After I finish dealing with the Yaohua Sect, if I can achieve a fourth-level natal puppet, I won't have to stay here anymore. I can travel around looking for opportunities..."

In fact, Li Ye has already exchanged for the fourth-level spiritual material from the sect's treasury, and has been refining his own infant shell base these days.

After he achieves success, combined with the blessing of the Wood God Cauldron, the combat power of his natal puppet can barely reach the fourth level. With such a blessing, even if he pretends to be a Nascent Soul cultivator, it is not impossible to travel.

When I set out on my journey again, the resources I have access to will naturally be different, and things that can deal with my inner demons may be easier to obtain!
But that is still a bit of a stretch. If one can cultivate a complete infant shell, even without the Wood God Cauldron's natal puppet, one can stably enter the fourth level.

By then, the magic weapon and the puppet will work together, and Li Ye's fourth-level physique will be the real Nascent Soul combat power, and he will not be afraid of anyone's temptation at all!
"The Yaohua Sect has great ambitions and has already begun refining in groups. Perhaps the next batch of infant shells will be my chance..."
