Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Fellow Daoist Su is naturally Su Leran.

Although this woman is a casual cultivator, she has never been active in the area near the Wanshou Mountains in the past.

Obviously, they have good relations with other sects and forces. If they want to seek opportunities from other regions, there is no need to find the lands of these four countries.

Originally, after breaking through the defense line of the Yunshui Sea and the group of cultivators were able to attack this corner of the East China Sea, this woman left on her own and did not continue to stay under his command, so Li Ye did not take her to heart.

Now she came to join in the fun again, which really made Li Ye a little confused about what her intentions were.

After not seeing each other for some time, Su Leran is still as pretty as ever, with a hint of cuteness and loveliness.

Li Ye didn't think there was anything wrong with a Nascent Soul cultivator still retaining such girlish behavior.

A monk!
After all, one has a long lifespan, so no matter how one behaves, as long as it suits his nature, it will not be considered inconsistent.

Su Leran looked at Li Ye's calm yet questioning expression and smiled indifferently.
"My luck isn't as good as Fellow Daoist Cheng's. After entering this Cloud and Water Sea, I've searched extensively but haven't found a suitable opportunity to seize a sacred spot and establish the foundation of my cave abode..."

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Li has taken over Lingbie Island and is now planning to build a teleportation array connecting Southern Xinjiang and the East China Sea, so I came here to join in the fun and see if I can lend some strength and gain some opportunities from you!"

Li Ye looked at her, her face smiling sweetly, and felt that this woman was still hiding something.

But there shouldn't be any malicious intent. He just needs to keep a certain amount of attention on her to prevent her from having any secrets and causing trouble that would interrupt his arrangement of the teleportation array.

After all, he had ordered this woman around a lot when they were on the defense line before, and the fighting power he displayed during the battle was enough to deter her from having any unnecessary thoughts, so it was okay to let her stay.

While thinking, he spoke lightly,
"In that case, I'll trouble you, Fellow Daoist Su, to protect this island for me... If any invaders come, I'll repel them and I'll repay them."

"That's great. I'm sorry to bother you then!"

When Su Leran heard Li Ye's agreement, her smile suddenly widened. After agreeing in a sweet voice, she just glanced curiously at the teleportation array that was still under preparation, and then left.

Li Ye turned around without hesitation and looked at Cheng Zhe.

"Fellow Daoist Cheng, since you are willing to help me set up the formation, I will not keep too much of the formation techniques involved. How much you can gain depends on you..."

His tone of voice was not polite, and even seemed to be quite controlling.

This is based on his own realm, and there is no need to be humble. However, some people who are also Nascent Soul cultivators may find it unbearable to hear this, and it is not impossible that they will immediately turn away.

But Cheng Zhe came here for this very reason, not only to learn about formations, but also to make friends with Li Ye.

This tone of voice, which was filled with instructions, made him happy instead of angry!
Since he had occupied a sacred place and put down roots in this sea of clouds and water, as a person who practiced the art of formations, it was inevitable that he had some ideas of recruiting disciples and establishing a sect.

However, with his limited ability, he may not be able to continue practicing steadily in the turbulent East China Sea.

In this case, you should find a mountain to lean on to protect yourself from the wind and rain, so that you can feel more at ease.

With Li Ye's level of cultivation, combat power, and formation skills, even the Tiantuo Sect and the Seven Demon Mountains, who seem to be on equal terms with him, have to obey his orders and dare not offend him. Naturally, he is the best choice!
"It is a great honor for me to receive guidance from Fellow Daoist Li. I have already benefited greatly from it when I was setting up the defense line. Now that I have this opportunity, I will definitely devote myself to serving Fellow Daoist Li..."

Even the effectiveness is mentioned, the attitude is quite humble.

Li Ye's heart moved slightly, and he felt like complaining. He remembered that this person had only been slightly respectful when they were on the front line.

It is normal that the one who has achieved success first is the teacher.

How come he is so good at licking now? Could it be that the existence of the spiritual cave has made this hundreds-year-old Yuanying Zhenjun more mature?
But it's for use anyway, and since this person is so sensible, he might as well do it.

Without further ado, he immediately assigned the task to Cheng Zhe, and the two of them started working together.

………………

It is not known whether it is because after Li Ye started to set up the teleportation array, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators gathering here increased rapidly, which greatly increased the overall combat power of this place, and it was even enough to take down any force in the Yunshui Sea.

The defensive measures Li Ye had arranged around the island were almost unable to capture the subtle demonic energy emanating from the sea.

The enhanced impulse brought to him by the [Sensing] item by the spy lurking in the dark was only a slight touch like a tiny needle prick, and no greater reaction.

Based on the experience he had gained from studying the effects of [Induction] over the years and the actual feedback, he could roughly infer that the hidden malice still existed, but its actions seemed to have been dispelled and hinted at retreating.

To be honest, this situation made Li Ye a little disappointed.

He had already made full preparations to take advantage of this opportunity to deal with the sea monster that came from nowhere, but he did not expect that the other party would be scared away by the group of Nascent Soul cultivators who had gathered together.

For a moment, no one dared to move!
"There's no way to solve this problem once and for all..."

Li Ye shook his head.

Although his various skills now are a combination of the best from many others, the core foundations such as puppetry and weapon refining still come from the Tiangong Sutra.

The Tiangong Palace, an ancient sect of deification, originated from the Western Desert. The many puppets it carries are indeed varied and useful, but perhaps they are limited by their own environment.

Among them, there is a relative lack of puppets that can deal with underwater situations, especially those that can operate in the sea.

The puppets scattered out in the sea are obviously not as effective as they are on land.

If not for this, wherever Li Ye went, he would definitely deploy small puppets first to grasp the movements of all parties.

Whether it was the siren lurking in the sea or some other rider, he should have caught it long ago and killed it to get rid of it.

There is no need to be like this now, where we can only sense that something is wrong, but after checking we can't find any trace of it, and can only wait for him to come to us!
Li Ye's murderous intent remained unabated.

But since the siren in the dark retreated on its own, he was happy to continue to devote himself to the arrangement of the teleportation array.

Let’s not worry about the end of the puppet clone that was arranged starting from Lingbie Island. Until it was actually connected in series, he was just saving the monks on the island the trouble of teleporting across the sea.

But the meaning of the teleportation array here is quite different!
Once the teleportation array here is set up, he will have a channel to teleport directly from the Red Mountains to the Cloud and Water Sea.

By then, it will be much easier to mobilize manpower, and it won't be too late to go find that sea monster! (End of this chapter)
