Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 86: Array Formation, then Farming

"Thank you, Senior Li, for saving my life!"

Looking at the people in front of him who were bowing deeply, Li Ye's expression was a little strange.

The youngest of this group of people is already in their forties or fifties, and the oldest is probably in their seventies or eighties. They kept calling him "senior" and bowing to him. Even he felt a little ashamed of themselves for their shamelessness.

When Wang Shuangyan and Mo Lun first occupied this mountain, they had limited knowledge and understanding of many matters.

After all, from Lan Ming's age, it can be seen that Wang Shuangyan, the wife of the mountain master, has not been in office for too long. Even with the convenience of her status, she cannot make up for the short time and has no way to intervene.

These old guys naturally have value in this situation.

Even if they refused to obey, as long as she could pry some information out of them, it would help her to quickly gain control of the Changcuishan industry and some hidden accumulations.

She had originally planned to execute all these old men after dealing with Lan Xinyi and her brother.

But she never thought that before that time came, she and Morn had already passed away!

This is why Lan Xinyi rescued them from prison after Li Ye used the formation to completely eliminate the remaining rebels.

"Everyone get up..."

The thought changed, Li Ye said calmly,

"Since everyone is here, let's talk it out..."

"I have signed a contract with your eldest daughter to help your Lan family kill the traitor and reclaim the family fortune. From now on, I will own a share of Changcui Mountain..."

"I will occupy the first-level spiritual vein, four acres of spiritual farmland, and the underground fire cave on the mountain. The second-rate spiritual vein and two acres of farmland at the foot of the mountain will be used by the rest of you!"

"Besides that, I will not interfere in your Lan family's affairs..."

"If I succeed in building my foundation in the future, I can return this spiritual vein land to you. Do you have anything to say?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the people present changed drastically.

But these old men soon realized that the Lan family is no longer what it used to be.

The tribe has become destitute, and apart from Lan Xinyi and Lan Ming, there are only a few old men left.

According to the eldest lady, this Senior Li single-handedly dealt with the adulterer and the many rebels...

With such cultivation and combat power, he still left them that inferior spiritual vein and two acres of spiritual fields, and even explicitly stated that he would not interfere with the Lan family's business... This can be considered as being moral!
Their expressions changed several times, but they accepted their fate and bowed again.
"Senior Li, please ensure that our Lan family's bloodline and foundation remain intact. We are willing to follow your instructions!"

Li Ye nodded calmly, "That's great!"

………………

Li Ye woke up early and sat up in bed.

The girl next to him warned him and turned over. The quilt slipped off, revealing a hint of whiteness and depth.

Li Ye admired it silently for a few seconds, then no longer lingered and went straight out of the room dressed and dressed neatly.

He strolled in the mountains, measuring each node of the mountain, with a thoughtful look on his face.

As the spiritual energy became richer, the view in front of us suddenly widened, revealing four acres of neatly arranged terraced fields.

Watching silently, Li Ye jumped to the edge of the field, picked up the dark red soil and looked at it carefully, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"This barren land of mountains often erupts in flames, and the remaining ash dissolves into the earth, making the soil fertile even more than in other lands, almost approaching specially prepared spiritual soil... It truly is a wonderful place!"

It just so happened that these spiritual fields had already been harvested by Wang Shuangyan and Mo Lun, and had not yet been replanted, which saved him a lot of trouble.

But there is no rush to cultivate and sow.

Li Ye pondered over the findings of his careful observations and measurements over the past two days, and muttered, "Let's use this mountain's first-order spiritual vein as the core, plant the Sky Realm Tree as the center of the formation, and lay out the Green Vine and Jade Wood Formation..."

"This way, we can gather more spiritual energy. The Sky Realm Tree, as the center of the formation, receives the most spiritual energy, and it doesn't require a spiritual field. This makes it much more flexible..."

"By setting up another spirit gathering and locking formation, there should be a chance to create a spirit field of less than an acre, barely reaching the second-level level, specifically for cultivating the three main ingredients for the foundation-building pill..."

"If I spend a few years patiently dividing and cultivating the plants, I should be able to gather enough to meet my spiritual accumulation... and then I can cultivate it slowly!"

"But if that's the case, the power of the Solid Earth and Rolling Stones Formation will be greatly weakened... But it doesn't matter. If this formation is broken, my Green Vine and Jade Wood Formation can be expanded at any time to fill in the gaps, so there's no need for the enemy to exploit it!"

Although if he was willing to spend some time studying this formation, it would not be difficult to fully master it with the formation's central token in hand.

But as a person who practices wood spiritual roots, Li Ye also has the existence of the Sky Realm Tree that needs to be concealed and utilized, so the Green Vine and Green Wood Array is naturally more suitable for him!

Everything was ready, and there was a hint of irrepressible enthusiasm in Li Ye's eyes.

He jumped right into action.

In the past six months or so, Li Ye has completely mastered the Green Vine and Green Wood Formation, and has also refined all the necessary instruments for setting up the formation. Now he just has to put it into use.

He walked and stopped in the mountains, burying a formation device from time to time, or standing still to calculate something.

The Lan family members who came to pay their respects intentionally saw his actions, and they went from being confused to being surprised, but they dared not have any unnecessary thoughts.

After half a day, all the formations and rituals were set up. Li Ye raised his hand and cast a few spells into the token, then shouted loudly,
"Green vine and green wood formation, start!"

Swah——

In an instant, the spiritual energy in the mountain surged, and the shadows of trees wrapped in green vines emerged, rising from the mountainside and covering most of the mountain, blocking the view of the outside world.

Most of the spiritual energy that had been spreading around was immediately intercepted. At the same time, the balance of spiritual energy in the air began to change, and the wood spiritual energy began to gradually increase.

"Senior Li is actually a famous formation master?!"

The Lan family members were stunned. Lan Xinyi held the central token of the hard earth rolling stone formation in her hand with a complicated expression.

No wonder the senior trusted her so much. It turned out that he had been thinking of becoming independent from the very beginning.

But in this way, even the Lan family would be greatly restricted in this mountain...

"Not bad!"

Li Ye was at the center of the formation, feeling the changes around him, and making adjustments to any slight discord, then nodded involuntarily.

"The next step is the most important one..."

Taking a deep breath of the spiritual energy here, which was at the top level of the first grade, Li Ye took out the black wooden sword with a serious expression and cut his arm.

Under the flesh of his arm, a emerald green seed with silver lines extended a thin root, slowly absorbing his blood for its own use.

"After cultivating you with my energy and blood for so long, it's time for you to truly take root and sprout..."

Li Ye looked expectantly, unleashed the secret method, took out the seeds, and buried them in the soil.

Swah——

As soon as the formation was activated, a formation restriction immediately connected this place, and the rolling spiritual energy turned into light green raindrops that kept falling, nourishing the tree seeds.

In just a moment, the soil bulged and a sapling with faint silver lines grew rapidly, climbing higher and higher.

The long-lost panel prompt appeared in front of Li Ye again.
