Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 144 Qing Yuan Gong

Half a month later

"Report to the leader, the latest intelligence from the Arima family has arrived!"

Luo Feibai came to the edge of the field and reported respectfully, with a hint of shock still in his eyes.

Li Ye did not respond immediately, but carefully planted the green rice seedlings in his hand slowly and cast the corresponding cultivation spell until the corresponding information popped up in front of him.

[You skillfully cultivated and nurtured the second-level spiritual plant [Green Rice], maximizing its vitality. Experience +1...]
[......]
Looking at the information jumping in front of his eyes, Li Ye smiled faintly and then stood up.

With a light shake of his hands, he returned all the soil to the field. He walked out of the field slowly, came to Luo Feibai and asked casually,

"What happened to the Ma family?"

Luo Feibai presented the information with both hands and began to narrate.
"Alliance Master, the Ma family's foundation-building ancestors and elders are all missing. The clan leader and the heads of each branch who were in charge of the family's miscellaneous affairs are all dead, and the clan's inventory and collections have been looted..."

"Now that we've lost the support of our foundation-building cultivators, the Ma family is left with only a few Qi-cultivating juniors unable to protect the family business. The family's assets and spiritual lands have been encroached upon by surrounding forces, and the vast family has collapsed..."

As he spoke, his body trembled slightly.

Luo Feibai is a smart man.

From Li Ye's orders to gather intelligence on the Ma Camp and the Ma family, to his later return from purchasing spiritual rice and learning that the Ma family had sent someone to spy on them but was captured, to the sudden news that three of the Ma family's foundation-building cultivators had died, and the family had collapsed...

Everything seems to be separated by a layer, but it seems to be related to Li Ye.

Even after the two spies from the Ma family were released, there were subtle movements in the formation on the top of Pingyang Mountain, which seemed to be related to the secret escape of the cultivators.

Even the time he spent in seclusion for many days seemed to vaguely coincide with the time when the Ma family incident occurred...

Knowing more, it was hard for him not to think that the downfall of the Ma family was most likely caused by Li Ye!
With his own strength, he killed the ancestor of the Ma family who was in the middle stage of foundation building, and destroyed an entire foundation building clan...

Is this kind of combat power really something that a person who has just broken through the foundation-building stage can possess?

He was filled with fear and reverence, and couldn't help but lose control of his emotions.

"Is there such a thing?"

Li Ye's tone was slightly surprised. "In that case, there's no need to worry about anyone coming to seek revenge for my killing of Ma Ying... There's no need to gather intelligence on them anymore!"

"Yes!"

Luo Feibai responded respectfully, feeling more confident.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked carefully, "Should we erase any traces of our contact with the Ma family, to prevent the people below from leaking the news?"

He didn't know why Li Ye dealt with the Ma family in such a secretive way, but it never hurt to ask one more question.

Li Ye glanced at him and smiled.
"If you think it's necessary, do it!"

He patted Luo Feibai's shoulders a few times and said, "Although everyone who can pose a threat to us is gone, it doesn't hurt to be careful..."

Luo Feibai showed a slight joy, and said solemnly,
"I obey my orders!"

…………

"It's not easy for the news to come out after such a long time..."

Li Ye's eyes fell on the distant sky and were slightly blank, and the smile on his face gradually became inexplicably more intense.

Thinking back on what I had gained at the Ma family that day, I still can't help but feel a bit overwhelmed with joy. First of all, in terms of martial arts, the Ma family's collection was quite a lot.

There are many sets of exercises that can be practiced to the foundation-building stage, among which is the Qingyuan Gong that Li Ye needs!

Not only can its content be practiced until the middle stage of the Golden Elixir, but all the corresponding secret techniques are also included.

Although it cannot be compared with the Yellow Sand Art practiced by the ancestor of the Ma family, whose content is enough to cultivate to the peak of the Golden Core, it has completely satisfied his current needs.

During the time when he obtained the subsequent cultivation techniques, Li Ye was able to adjust his techniques, and his cultivation finally began to improve steadily!
In addition to the martial arts techniques, Li Ye even found the second-level formation and second-level refining inheritance in his collection!

It's okay to refine weapons. Before reaching the Golden Elixir stage, there is no need to consider planning magic weapons for yourself. Li Ye has no shortage of ways to make money, so he is not in a hurry to delve into it.

But the art of formation is the most important skill for him!
Obtaining this inheritance not only enriches his foundation, but the many evolutions of the second-order formations recorded therein are also a considerable supplement to him!

When facing the enemy again, the response methods must be much more flexible!
With so many references, Li Ye could try to deduce the formation to the third level more easily.

However, he did not find any other suitable pill recipes and secret techniques. He only got a Dinning Pill suitable for cultivators with earth spirit roots who were building their foundation.

He also failed to find any physical training techniques that could significantly improve his combat power and life-saving methods.

It made him feel a little regretful.

Now, Li Ye has almost collected all the second-level elixir recipes with various effects by looting Xu Pingyang and the Ma family, but there are still only two that involve mana enhancement.

This shows how rare and valuable it is!
But in the final analysis, it was because he and the other foundation-building forces lacked foundation.

"If I had the support of the Purple Profound Sect, perhaps these wouldn't be a problem..."

Li Ye sighed and shook his head.

Although having the support of the Zixuan Sect would be convenient in terms of such foundation, it would also be inevitable that one would be controlled by others, which is far less comfortable than having the power he has now.

Anyway, the Fire Cloud Pill has impressed those forces, and the elders have come to negotiate the deal. It is only a matter of time before they get the combined pill formula.

It has only been less than a year since he broke through the foundation-building stage, so it’s okay to take it slow.

What's more, after owning all the assets of the Ma family and Pingyang Mountain, Li Ye's accumulated assets have reached a rather astonishing level.

Even if there is no suitable elixir for the time being, even if he wastes spirit stones every day to assist in the cultivation of his spirit veins, it is enough to keep him improving at a faster speed!

It’s a bit extravagant, but isn’t that what spirit stones are used for?
The Ma family was divided up, but he, the mastermind and the biggest beneficiary, was not noticed, and the news of the lava palace was perfectly concealed.

Li Ye felt much more relaxed and immediately returned to farming.

After reaching the second level, even spiritual rice can no longer be planted so intensively. It has become about 5,000 plants per acre, and it also becomes a harvest per year.

However, the spiritual rice it produces will be far superior to the first-grade spiritual rice in both size and spiritual energy, and the yield per mu will be only more than that of the first-grade spiritual rice!
The only drawback is that half of the feedback is missing, and the experience points gained are less than expected.

Although some land needs to be left for the subsequent planting of spiritual medicines, the amount of rice seeds is also limited.

But in order to improve himself, Li Ye decisively set up a formation to create two acres of second-level spiritual fields, specifically for growing spiritual rice.

They worked diligently like this until the last rice seedling was planted.

[You skillfully cultivated and nurtured the second-level spiritual plant [Green Rice], maximizing its vitality. Experience +1...]
[......]
Li Ye looked at the message and couldn't help but murmur with joy,
"Ten thousand experience points have been credited. This will finally give me a small boost..."
