Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 372: With a sharp knife in mind, the murderous intention arises... It is better to be cautious!
As far as Li Ye's own actual experience is concerned, he has completed two promotions and has a considerable understanding of the impact of various conditions on promotion.

Whether he was breaking through the foundation-building stage or the golden elixir stage, he had the corresponding foundation to reach the peak of the current realm, or even exceeded that level. Therefore, the corresponding problems that would arise during the breakthrough were basically resolved by him easily.

From this point of view, no matter which realm you are in, your own foundation in all aspects will be of certain help in making breakthroughs.

Now Li Ye can be said to have made great progress.

Although his cultivation has not yet reached the perfection of the Golden Elixir, his consciousness and physical body have both entered the Nascent Soul stage, which should be unprecedented in helping him break through!
Invisibly, his chances of successful promotion will naturally increase a little.

"Hmm... Even if it doesn't help me break through that much, I can now pretend to be a Nascent Soul cultivator without any shortcomings!"

Li Ye thought with great satisfaction.

In front of him, the natal puppet underwent some changes. Its aura was restrained and its shape seemed to have completely changed into an ordinary white puppet.

However, the power contained in it has steadily reached the fourth level even though the Wood God Cauldron has been separated!
At this time, he had already modified and refined the infant shell he had seized, and combined it with the original infant shell base in the puppet's body. Its foundation had been greatly improved, and the space for further sacrifices and improvements in the future had also been greatly improved.

Although Li Ye did not have top-grade spirit stones, with the assistance of the infant shell and the Sky Realm Tree as a carrier, his natal puppet also had a certain ability to absorb spiritual energy for its own use, which was enough to unleash a powerful enough Nascent Soul combat power.

He raised his hand and made a gesture, and his natal puppet suddenly became ethereal and shrank, and went straight into Li Ye's body, sitting in his dantian, and it was somewhat similar to the Nascent Soul!

When it was in harmony with the golden elixir, it naturally turned into a blessing, making Li Ye's true energy and magic power stronger.

This change is actually the origin of the method of using infant shells and fake infants. However, after research, it has completely gotten rid of the carrier of the natal puppet and instead is based on the fourth-level demon pill, demon soul or the cultivator's Nascent Soul.

But when it is actually used, the combat power of this natal puppet is much stronger than that!

"This blessing is only the most basic function. I need to activate it when I really need to use its power to show the power of my natal puppet!"

Li Ye nodded with satisfaction.

With the Sky Realm Tree as its skeleton foundation, the magical powers and combat power of his natal puppet are extraordinary, enough to be called his biggest trump card now!
If he had this treasure when he first encountered the Green Bull Demon King, combined with his fourth-level physique, he might have been able to fight him again, and he wouldn't have to burn his life to escape.

So should we take this opportunity to go back and cause trouble for that old cow?
As his fighting power increased sharply, Li Ye couldn't help but have the thought of revenge in his mind.

But he immediately shook his head.
"Forget it... Even with my current combat power, I can only be compared to an ordinary Nascent Soul in its early stages. I'm afraid I may not be able to subdue that old bull. If I can't either subdue it or scare it, there's no point in going there!"

Li Ye knew that it was normal to have such thoughts when he was holding a sharp weapon and had murderous intentions.

But he couldn't really act so rashly. Before his cultivation level truly broke through the Nascent Soul stage, he had to be extremely cautious about anything that affected the Nascent Soul's combat power. Otherwise, one wrong step could lead to a deep abyss!

"Steady! We still have to be steady!"

………………

Ever since the secret treasure refined by Shan Danxiangfeng was stolen, and after the initial thorough search failed to reveal any problems, the Yaohua Sect seemed to have returned to its former tranquility.

But even though Li Ye is still involved in refining the infant shell, he spends most of his time in hard practice and does not always try to understand what is happening in the outside world.

Furthermore, fewer elders in the sect, who used to be very active, came to visit and entrust the sect with refining, leaving even fewer channels to learn about the various trends.

During these trips, one could sense a gradually changing strange atmosphere within the sect.

It seemed as if they were forcibly maintaining a surface of tranquility, but underneath, a turbulent undercurrent was brewing. The disciples below were fine, but the Golden Core Elders were all hurrying back and forth, their expressions becoming more solemn.

While others may not be able to know this, Li Ye can vaguely sense this key point.

Right inside this mountain gate, in addition to the threat from Three Crowns Mountain that faintly triggered his [sensing] ability, there were also two caves that originally housed the few late Jindan cultivators, which gave him a sense of disharmony when he passed by.

Combined with the infant shell method, it seems that the Yaohua Sect has now cultivated at least two false infant cultivators!

"The Southern Border is vast, and there are actually quite a few fourth-level monsters... But with their combat power, it would be difficult to defeat them without any action. Could it be that the Huachi Patriarch's combat power is really that strong? Or did she secretly plot against another Nascent Soul to obtain her first fake infant?"

When Li Ye noticed this situation, he couldn't help but think.

But if she really has such ability, how could her soul escape from Yaohua Sect!
It seems that there is probably some story behind it.

This was of course just a little entertainment. What Li Ye really cared about was the information revealed in it.

It seems that the Yaohua Sect is not far from taking action...

It depends on whether they target the evil or the righteous. If they target the righteous, they will probably be attacked by everyone.

But when it comes to the magic path...it's naturally the opposite!
"Ever since I achieved my Heavenly Spiritual Root, my cultivation speed has skyrocketed. The cultivation conditions in this sect are also top-notch. My cultivation is not far from Golden Core Perfection..."

"In the first battle, the Yaohua Sect will definitely rely on the Fake Infant cultivators to catch the opponent off guard. This will require secrecy and speed, and naturally I won't be involved..."

"Even if a war breaks out, as someone who excels in both alchemy and weaponry, I probably wouldn't be sent out immediately to fight. Instead, I'd stay behind to ensure military supplies..."

Li Ye thought carefully, "This way, I can leave after my Golden Core is complete!"

At this point, even though he had been a weapon refiner for the Yaohua Sect for such a long time, he could be said to have made a fortune!

………………

A few years later.

The Yaohua Sect led its people to raid the major demon sect Guimian Mountain. A Yuanying True Lord and three Fake Infant monks joined forces to kill the sect's supreme elder in one fell swoop.

Overnight, they breached the mountain gate, and the entire sect's forces followed suit and suddenly expanded, quickly occupying a large territory under their control.

This achievement shocked the entire southern Xinjiang!

The demonic sect reacted extremely quickly. Other demonic sects took advantage of the fact that their huge resource base was leaderless after the fall of Ghost Face Mountain and immediately pounced on the Yaohua Sect and took away most of their benefits before they could react.

How could the Yaohua Sect agree to this? Relying on the combat power of almost a sect with four Yuanyings, they actually went head-to-head with a large number of people to compete for the huge resources of Guimian Mountain.

However, the fake infant was no match for the real Nascent Soul cultivator. The Yaohua Sect was outnumbered and suffered repeated defeats.

Other righteous sects took advantage of the situation and joined in, hoping to get a piece of the pie under the pretext of fighting against the evil sect.

The Yaohua Sect was already losing, so even if they did not want to divide the profits, they had no choice but to agree to an alliance.

As a result... under this fuse, the war between good and evil in the southern border cultivation world breaks out again!
