Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 94: You... have also reached the eighth level of Qi training?
Two months passed.

On the top of Changcui Mountain, under the Kongjie tree.

A gentle breeze blew, causing the grass leaves to drift and land on the nose of the man who rested his head on his arms, waking him up.

"This kind of leisurely life suits me..."

After waking up, Li Ye yawned, climbed up from under the tree and stretched, looking so relaxed that he almost cried!

At this moment, the magical aura emanating from him was several times stronger than before.

He took a Qingmu Pill every few days to allow his magic power to adapt to the growth rate to the greatest extent possible so that his practice progress would not become superficial.

In less than two months, his accumulation had reached a point where it could not be further improved. Relying on the three-patterned green wood pill, he broke through the bottleneck that had stuck him for a long time and reached the eighth level of Qi training!
Although it sounds easy, it is the first harvest after Li Ye came here with great difficulty and made various plans to win the spiritual land!
"It took me over a year to break through this level... But now, I have an ample supply of elixirs and abundant spiritual energy. I don't have to travel as much as before, and I can fully focus on cultivation..."

"Even though my aptitude is a little lacking, I should be able to cultivate to perfection in Qi training within five to six years... and then try to establish my foundation!"

As Li Ye thought about this, his eyes flickered slightly.

With his understanding of the situation in these barren mountains, it would definitely not be a problem for him to get through these years peacefully!
"However, the Qi and Blood barrier has been completed, but the cultivation of spiritual consciousness still needs to be accelerated..."

"Although I have broken through to the second level of the Thousand Thoughts Divine Art without any external aid, I am still a little short of the peak of the state of "One Mind, Six Functions", not to mention the third level. It is currently the most backward..."

"It's a pity that I haven't found any elixirs or other secret methods suitable for Qigong practitioners to improve their spirits. Otherwise, with my talent, I might be able to discover my potential in this field more quickly!"

Li Ye tied up her slightly messy hair with a branch and straightened her expression.

He picked up six blades of grass at random, used the object control technique to make them float, and then began to let them weave together on their own.

This can be considered a small method to train the delicate manipulation of the mind. When extended to the practical operation of alchemy, talisman making, and formation, it actually has a certain training effect.

As for true spiritual practice, Li Ye still has to rely on quiet meditation.

The blades of grass were entangled with each other, gradually taking shape, but a hint of effort appeared on Li Ye's face.

As several small grass-woven animals or objects took shape, the operation of two blades of grass suddenly became chaotic, an error occurred, and then six grass-woven objects fell to the ground at the same time.

Li Ye saw this scene and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm still a little behind in mastering the Six Functions of One Mind, and I can't use it with ease, but I've made some progress... If I continue practicing like this, it shouldn't take too long to complete the second level!"

He was just about to finish weaving these six little gadgets and do another round, when his expression changed slightly and he looked towards the direction of the intersection on the mountain.

"It's been a long time since we last met. Are you two finally back from your exploration?"

He slowly stood up, brushed off the grass debris on his body, chanted a spell to open the passage, and walked straight down the mountain.

…………

"Looking at the happy faces of the two fellow Taoists, I believe this trip must have yielded a lot of rewards!"

Li Ye greeted Luo Feibai and Qin Yao, invited them to sit in the mountain courtyard, and said with a smile.

"That was all thanks to your guidance that day, Brother Li. We were able to successfully break the formation without damaging too many objects in the cave. It was indeed a pleasant surprise... Hahahaha!"

Luo Baifei touched his belly and said in a good mood.

However, he did not want to show off his wealth, so he did not want to tell Li Ye in detail.

But his undisguised aura of successfully breaking through to the eighth level of Qi training always made Li Ye understand what opportunity he had missed by refusing it...

Huh?! Wait…

"plum……"

"Brother Li, have you also reached the eighth level of Qi training?"

Qin Yao, who reacted faster than Luo Feibai, asked, looking at Li Ye with surprise in his eyes. "I just had a feeling, and I'm lucky enough to have made a breakthrough..."

Li Ye smiled faintly and said modestly, then turned to Luo Feibai and said,

"I see that Brother Luo has also broken through to the eighth level. Congratulations on your advancement!"

You broke through by luck... but what about me and my brother Qin, who went to the cave of the predecessors and went through many twists and turns before we got some benefits and were able to make further progress?
"Joy and rejoice together!"

The smile on Luo Feibai's face froze slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Qin Yao.

So, was the reason this person gave actually serious?
When the fat man thought about Li Ye practicing leisurely every day in this beautiful place with clear water and green mountains, and having achieved a breakthrough similar to his own hard work, he vaguely felt that this breakthrough was not so exciting!

However, this time they came, in addition to showing off their achievements to Li Ye, they were more concerned about maintaining a good relationship between the two parties.

Luo Feibai took out a jade slip from his storage bag.

"Brother Li's guidance is crucial for us to successfully capture the cave of our predecessor this time!"

"This is a fragment of a formation diagram we found in the cave. It seems to be the content of the cave formation. We can't understand it, so we will give it to Brother Li as a reward for his help!"

This item has of course been copied, but giving the original to the formation master Li Ye as a reward will definitely make him satisfied, right?
"Since you two fellow Taoists are so kind, I would be honored to accept your kindness."

Li Ye took it with a little surprise, and put it away without even looking at it.

The three continued chatting. Although they didn't plan to talk about their gains with Li Ye, they had already completed the exploration now, so there was no harm in talking about the various experiences they had while exploring the cave.

They had a pleasant conversation and the atmosphere was lively.

As the matter was almost finished, Qin Yao suddenly asked, holding the wine glass,
"Brother Li, you've been here for several months now. I wonder what you think of the situation in these red mountains?"

Luo Feibai was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and looked at Li Ye.

"How do you view ..."

Li Ye's expression remained unchanged as he spoke frankly, "The Alliance's leader is wise and has maintained a stable order here. Although there are some conflicts of interest among the various factions, they are dispersed but not chaotic, and have always been able to maintain a balance. I admire them very much!"

This person can talk...but why does it seem like he didn't say anything?

Luo Feibai and Qin Yao exchanged a glance, and the former had no choice but to speak.

"Then Brother Li, are you willing to stand with the alliance?"

"Brother Luo, what are you talking about?"

Li Ye seemed a little surprised. "Isn't Changcui Mountain one of the seventy-two mountains of the alliance?"

"Although I have no intention of establishing a family...but since I am cultivating here, as long as the Alliance does not let me down, I am willing to stand with the Alliance!"

Saying this is a statement.

"Good good!"

Luo Feibai and Qin Yao were immediately delighted, picked up their wine glasses and said with a smile,

"Brother Li, your choice this time is truly wise. There are no other formation masters in the alliance. If you join now, you will be the only formation master in the alliance. The various benefits you will receive will surely not make you regret it..."

"From now on, we will need you, the formation master, Brother Li, to take good care of us!"

"You two are too kind... We should support each other!"

Li Ye picked up the wine glass, clinked it lightly with the two of them, and drank it all in one gulp.
