Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 118 Alchemy
The pale green spiritual light lingering on his body suddenly became stronger. Li Ye, who had been sitting cross-legged for many days without moving, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

He slowly stood up and cleared the dirt off his body, his magical aura completely reaching the perfection of the tenth level of Qi training!

Feeling the mana and blood in his body reaching a certain peak, Li Ye felt that he could now sense that his body was longing for a higher level of realm...

"At the stage of perfect Qi training, there is no room for further improvement. If you dare to take risks, you can even directly attack the foundation building stage right now!"

Li Ye murmured, but chuckled and shook his head.

Although he has the talent of a mid-grade spiritual root and has accumulated experience in the three stages of foundation building, his success rate of breakthrough may even be close to 60%!
But how can 60% be enough?
Failure in building the foundation will backfire on one's body, causing the magic power to go out of control and the meridians to be destroyed. If one is not careful, one will die on the spot!

Even if you survive by chance, there is a high probability that you will be left with injuries that are almost irreparable, and there will be no possibility of continuing to improve your cultivation and trying to break through again!
If you fail, you will fall into the bottomless abyss...

As long as there is a possibility of increasing the probability of successful breakthrough, Li Ye will not gamble!
Only by living intactly can you keep improving and break through to a higher level. If you lose a risky bet, there will be no possibility at all.

The Foundation Establishment Pill is a must for him!

Collecting his thoughts, Li Ye briefly inspected the second-level spiritual field, confirming that his practice here did not cause too much impact before leaving.

……

"Let me see what the situation is like outside..."

Walking in the mountains, Li Ye took out the formation flag and waved it, and the completely closed formation opened up a tiny crack.

Then, two completely different tiny insects rustled along the crack, flew in from the outside, and lined up in front of Li Ye.

After counting the number of poisonous insects and finding that there were not many casualties, Li Ye nodded in satisfaction and snapped his fingers.

Snapped!
Suddenly, the poisonous insects arranged in their respective groups took action.

One of them suddenly opened its peculiarly structured compound eyes and projected faint light and shadows that combined with each other to form a series of constantly changing blurry images.

The other's swollen belly contracted, its mouth opened wide, and made a sound.

The combination of the two formed the scenes and sounds of several different areas, showing Li Ye the many things that happened in the outside world during this period.

Just like surveillance pictures!
This is the effect of the second-level poisonous insect... the shadow-retaining poison and the sound-retaining poison!

Since he knew that he was in a bad situation, he would not completely believe the information provided by his two spiritual farmers and the Lan family.

These two poisonous insects that were accidentally discovered in the market are one of the means to serve as his eyes and ears!

As long as the Foundation Establishment cultivators do not use their spiritual sense to scan, or intentionally hide, they may be monitoring and eavesdropping in any corner.

With the help of the mind-concentrating incense he developed himself, Li Ye's Qiannian Yanshen Jue progressed rapidly, and now he has reached the pinnacle level of the third level of the technique he mastered, the state of nine uses of one mind!
Nowadays, browsing multiple screens at the same time to absorb information is a bit tiring, but it is bearable.

With the acceleration, since he completely closed the formation and immersed himself in cultivation, many things happening in the outside world, the things that the Lan family discussed privately... and so on, all appeared to him in a short period of time!
The light and sound disappeared, Li Ye shook his head and sneered.
"I originally thought that Tu Zhi accepted Lan Ming as his disciple, not only to vent his anger, but also to provoke me and draw me out of this matter, and the Lan family was just cooperating..."

"I didn't expect that Pingyang Mountain was already prepared to make trouble for the Lan family and Changcui Mountain!"

"Now that the blame has been placed on me, even if I don't deploy the formation, they can still attack me directly under the pretext of collecting the Lan family's inheritance... which can barely be considered as a righteous cause!"

"Even if others are frightened, they are not afraid of the same thing happening to them, and there won't be much follow-up impact!"

"After all, I'm the only one who's been in this situation for the past few years..."

"But could it be that Xu Pingyang was stimulated by the fact that both the Chang and Luo families had reached the Foundation Establishment stage? I only barely displayed some talent back then. Under normal circumstances, I don't know how far I'd have to go to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. Yet, he actually went to such lengths to eliminate the threat!"

Even though he knew that the Pingyang Mountain army was about to attack, Li Ye's eyes remained calm.

"My Green Vine and Jade Wood Formation is already at the second level. It's impossible for Tu Zhi to break it with his limited attainments in formations... And even if Pingyangshan dared to think I had such a foundation, he would most likely be reluctant to use a second-level forbidden-breaking talisman..."

"In this way, even if Xu Pingyang wants to break the formation personally, it will be quite difficult. I still have enough time to refine the elixir and build the foundation!"

"After I build my foundation... I can break this situation!" He smiled faintly and put away the many poisonous insects.

With another wave of the formation flag, the little access and exit rights given to the outside of the Green Vine and Green Wood Formation were all adjusted and discarded. There was no way to use it as a trick to break the formation, and the formation was completely closed.

Then he strode towards the underground fire cave.

…………

The scorching fire waves surged, and Li Ye threw the alchemy furnace directly into the fire pit, allowing the underground fire to rise and heat up the alchemy furnace.

At the same time, he carefully prepared the auxiliary medicines needed to refine the foundation-building pill.

Slicing, grinding, juicing... Li Ye took his time and carefully processed each auxiliary medicine to the best possible quality.

By the time the alchemy furnace glowed faintly red and a flicker of fire appeared inside, he had processed all the medicinal materials in his hand.

Although the Foundation Establishment Pill is for Qi-cultivating cultivators to take, its rank has already reached the second rank, and the difficulty of refining it is only at the lower second rank level.

For Li Ye, whose alchemy skills have reached the intermediate level of the second level, it is actually not difficult, not to mention that he has conducted many simulated refining processes and is already familiar with the corresponding procedures.

He exhaled lightly, his mind completely calm and unperturbed, and then he opened the medicine inlet and put in the processed auxiliary medicines one by one.

Under the burning of the stable and blazing earth fire in the furnace, the impurities in the auxiliary medicines were quickly refined, the purest possible medicinal power was refined out, and then they were fused one by one according to their respective medicinal properties.

Li Ye had already performed this step many times in simulation using real elixirs, so now he was very proficient in it and there was no problem at all.

As the liquid medicine formed by the fusion of auxiliary drugs took shape, Li Ye became a little nervous and more cautious.

But he did not hesitate at all. As soon as he thought about it, fifteen rays of white spiritual essence were thrown directly into the furnace.

The Baiyin Fruit is more of a Yang type, which is quite compatible with the heat in the furnace. However, it quickly merges with the medicinal liquid once it comes into contact with it, making it appear a bit orange-red.

And then, if you put in the Yin attribute of the spiritual essence, it will immediately trigger a conflict with the medicinal liquid. If you don't grasp the timing, it will be easily wasted, and the risk of failure is extremely high!

But Li Ye still did not stop, and once again immersed himself in the fifteen inscriptions of spiritual essence.

The moment the dark purple spirit essence came into contact with the medicinal liquid, it merged effortlessly. This was a natural characteristic of the spirit essence of plants and trees, and there was nothing wrong with it...

But just after it was absorbed, the dark purple and orange, yin and yang medicinal powers in the liquid began to conflict instantly!
The entire medicinal liquid seemed to be boiling!
Li Ye had also seen this situation before, but the reaction was more intense during the actual refining process.

He was not in a hurry. Seeing the moment when the Yin and Yang medicinal powers were mixed and conflicted to the extreme without much loss of the medicinal power itself, he raised his hand and threw ten earth dragon spirits into it.

Swah——

The earth dragon's inherently powerful and heavy nature quickly reconciled the conflict between the two medicinal powers. The mixed-colored liquid quickly merged, and the mixed colors disappeared...

Eventually, it gradually turned into a light blue that was constantly being tempered.

"The time has come, open!"

More than a day had passed since the beginning of the refining process. All the medicinal properties had finally been integrated, and the impurities were no longer noticeable. Li Ye quickly cast several spells.

The flames in the furnace changed, the medicinal liquid condensed, and turned into pills...

clang!
The alchemy furnace opened, and pills with sparkling light flew out. Li Ye grabbed the jade plate beside him and took them.

The two pale blue elixirs collided a few times on the plate, and then gathered together while rolling, revealing their shapes.

One is dull in color, the other is bright and shiny, they are defective and finished products respectively.

It seems... the Foundation Establishment Pill is ready!
