Living a peaceful life in the world of cultivation

The next morning.

Li Ren then dispatched cultivators from the Li family to deliver an apology gift: a mid-grade first-tier array, the [Cloud Water Mist Concealment Array].

After the Li family cultivators left, a set of formations and a jade slip appeared in Lü Ping's hand.

The jade slip was placed between his eyebrows, and the information recorded within it flowed into his mind.

Lu Ping finally had a general understanding of the [Cloud, Water, Mist Concealment Array].

[Cloud Water Mist Concealment Array], a mid-grade first-tier array, possesses defensive and protective functions, provides warnings, and also offers a degree of concealment, gathering clouds and water to nourish spiritual soil and plants.

Compared to the Cloud and Water Formation, the Cloud, Water and Mist Concealment Formation is a truly superior alternative.

"The first-tier low-grade formation [Cloud and Water Formation] is priced at forty low-grade spirit stones in the Treasure Pavilion."

"This [Cloud Water Mist Concealment Array] is a mid-grade first-tier array. I wonder how much it costs in the Treasure Pavilion."

"Li Ren's apology was truly heartfelt."

Lu Ping had some guesses about Li Ren's sudden change.

The most likely explanation is that after his meridians were damaged, he did not become despondent. Instead, his skills in cultivating spiritual plants improved by leaps and bounds, and he became acquainted with Manager Lu of the Spirit Herb Hall, with whom he developed a close relationship.

and so.

It wasn't that Li Ren had become easier to get along with, but rather that Lü Ping had gained more influence in the market, forcing Li Ren to consider and weigh the pros and cons.

Lu Ping was naturally unaware of the influence of Li Muyang, the young patriarch of the Li family, and Li Shouzhuo on Li Ren.

"It's always better to be cautious and take precautions."

Lu Ping believed that caution was always the best policy, so he took out the [Cloud Water Mist Concealment Array] array plate, which contained the sect's first-tier mid-grade array.

Regarding the arrangement of formations, Lü Ping was not a formation master; he only knew a few superficial things from some ancient books and the general knowledge of other cultivators.

but.

The difference between array plates and array flags is recorded in some cultivation notes.

The array plate contains an inscribed array. It only requires spirit stones to activate the array, which can then be set up. This method is quite advantageous for cultivators who are not array masters.

However, every advantage has its disadvantages.

The existence of the array plate is equivalent to a bright and obvious array eye. As long as you return to the array plate, the array set up by the array plate will be broken.

The array flags, on the other hand, were crafted by array masters for their own use.

The array master can activate the array flags to speed up the array setup, enhancing the array's flexibility and lethality.

Compared to array plates, array flags have a higher barrier to entry in terms of usage.

Lu Ping calmed his mind, grasped the array plate, and slowly circulated the spiritual power within his body, injecting it into the array plate.

As spiritual energy was injected, the array plate vibrated slightly, and the blue and white colors flickered faintly. After absorbing a certain amount of spiritual energy, the blue and white light slowly converged, eventually forming a semi-circular light shield.

Although the blue and white light shield was small, it conveyed a sense of unwavering stability, unaffected by rain or wind.

Lu Ping primarily used spiritual energy injection, supplemented by spiritual awareness control, to continue controlling and activating the array plate. The blue-white light shield slowly expanded until it could cover the entire courtyard.

After the blue-white light shield stopped expanding, water ripples arose, and the light shield kept changing, eventually concealing the blue-white color. From the outside, the courtyard still looked the same as before.

As Lü Ping manipulated the array plate, he could naturally see and sense the blue-white light shield that caused the water ripples to rise.

just now.

With the simple array set up by the Li family of Yunzhu, controlled by wooden tokens, and the [Cloud Water Mist Concealment Array] set up earlier, the courtyard's ability to isolate itself from outsiders and protect the spiritual land has greatly increased.

Unlike those living on the outermost edge, they are no longer protected by any formations.

With the [Cloud, Water, and Mist Concealment Array] successfully set up, Lü Ping's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down, and a sense of security arose spontaneously. From then on, he no longer had to worry or be afraid, and there would never again be the case of the three Bu siblings sneaking into the school at night to rob and kill him.

Even Dahuang can now sleep in without restraint.

Take out a low-grade spirit stone and place it in the groove at the center of the array plate, using the low-grade spirit stone as the source of spiritual power for the [Cloud Water Mist Concealment Array].

After the formation is set up, it's time for peaceful farming.

Lu Ping first activated his magic power to redivide the spiritual soil in the courtyard into five areas, namely one, two, three, four, and five.

Besides the five spiritual soil areas, there is another spiritual soil that is the most fertile, which Lü Ping designated as the fire element spiritual soil.

The Fire Elemental Soil is separated from the other five pieces of spiritual soil, and also from the spiritual spring in the courtyard.

This spiritual soil will be used in the future to cultivate the second-tier low-grade spiritual plant, Fire Cloud Vine.

In order to cultivate the fire-elemental spiritual soil, Lü Ping even went to the Treasure Pavilion to buy the first-tier mid-grade spell [Bing Fire Burning the Wasteland Technique] that he had previously coveted.

【Bing Fire Burning the Wasteland Technique】 is a fire and earth magic technique. It cultivates spiritual soil and enhances its fertility. It also enhances the fire element spirit within the spiritual soil, making it highly effective for cultivating fire element spiritual soil.

The [Fertilizer Spell] is merely an earth-elemental spell and does not enhance the fire-elemental spiritual energy within the spiritual earth.

Thanks to the previous owner of the courtyard, who was a skilled plant master, the spiritual soil in the courtyard was well maintained, so Lu Ping didn't need to do much cultivation and was able to plant the Rejuvenating Grass.

After estimating the growth range of the Rejuvenating Grass, Lü Ping's spiritual energy surged within his body. In the No. 1 spiritual soil area, the soil slightly bulged, forming thirty small cracks under the pull.

One after another, the seeds of the Rejuvenating Grass were enveloped in spiritual energy and sent into the crevices. As the Rejuvenating Grass was planted into the soil, the crevices in the soil were pulled together and closed up.

With a wave of his hand, Lü Ping activated the perfected stage of the [Spirit Rain Technique].

The fine, fine rain, rich in spiritual energy, gently dripped into the dark spiritual soil, nourishing the newly planted Rejuvenating Grass spiritual seeds.

Wow, what a spacious and comfortable house! And what delicious food!

Wuhu.

Huan Chuncao's personality remains as cheerful and lively as ever.

Feeling the joy and excitement of the Rejuvenating Grass Seed, Lü Ping's emotions were also stirred, and he couldn't help but hum an unknown tune.

After the Rejuvenating Grass was placed, it was Thunderwood's turn.

As soon as the Thunderwood was taken out of the storage bag, a symphony of wind and thunder emanated from the dusty brocade box.

Lü Ping opened the brocade box.

Inside the brocade box was a layer of spiritual soil, and a piece of thunderwood, about the size of a palm, lay peacefully inside.

The Thunderwood Spirit Seed was not the charred, withered branch that Lü Ping had imagined.

On the contrary, the Thunderwood at this moment was entirely silver-white, with flashes of electric arcs passing by amidst the flickering spiritual light.

Touching the thunderwood, I felt a tingling, itchy sensation from the electric arc.

Thunderwood, a high-grade first-tier spirit seed.

[His body crackled with electricity, exuding a solemn and righteous aura, and radiating thunderous power, dispelling filth and evil.]

[Thunderwood thrives best in thunderstorms; only the deafening roar of thunder can nurture the finest specimens.]

After learning about the unique cultivation method of Thunderwood, Lü Ping pondered and slowly made up his mind.

The Thunderwood was placed alone in the third spiritual soil and watered with a new round of spiritual rain spells.

Boom!

The fine raindrops touched the thunderwood, which was only the size of a palm, but the sound it made startled Big Yellow.

Fortunately, there was the [Cloud, Water, Mist Concealment Array], otherwise the surrounding fellow cultivators would probably have been quite startled.

Electric arcs crackled across Lei Mingmu's silvery-white body, accompanied by deafening thunder, taunting all living things within the courtyard...
