Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 150 Map
Just when many foundation-building forces from the outside world gathered together for a pill auction, they were unable to meet Li Ye.

Li Ye was indeed in seclusion on the top of Pingyang Mountain, instead of running to the lava underground palace to continue exploring.

Thanks to the unique geographical location of the Red Land Mountains, the forces of the three countries are all adjacent to each other, which greatly facilitates the contact between the forces in the surrounding areas.

Even if we exclude the many forces that have no demand for Fire Cloud Pills and Earth Ning Pills and have no intention of purchasing overly expensive pills from the beginning, the only people they may send are Qi training disciples.

There are quite a few foundation-building monks coming here now. Roughly speaking, there are nearly ten of them!
With so many foundation-building monks gathered here, if Li Ye went to the lava palace to pick up trash at this time, what if some of these foundation-building monks had some special secret methods and saw his whereabouts?

Wouldn't that mean Li Ye took the initiative to expose the lava palace to the world?
Now that he has established his foundation and is protected by his own territory's formation, he will be safe as long as he is in these barren mountains.

Li Ye was not going to hide his attainments in alchemy any longer. He wanted to use this method to obtain what he needed from various forces and make proper preparations for his peaceful farming and practice.

But the lava underground palace is of great importance, and Li Ye will not take the risk even if there is a slight possibility of exposing it!

As long as he doesn't expose himself, in his current state, he is definitely not something that a group of foundation-building cultivators can detect through the thick earth and volcanic lava, so there is no need to worry about him.

However, although Li Ye is now in seclusion in the mountains, he has no plans to go anywhere.

But in the past month, even though he had no time to be distracted by other things because he was refining a batch of pills for auction, he still found time to go to the Lava Palace twice.

With the help of the safe zone constructed by the large formation, not only did they expand the outer perimeter and clear out an area, but they also tried to use puppets to explore several building islands in depth.

During these explorations, the frequency of fire beasts appearing increased, and some good things finally began to appear along the way.

As the harvest of various fire-related spiritual materials and medicines gradually increased, the quality of the "garbage" on the construction island also increased.

Compared to the beginning when there were only some discarded fragments of magical instruments that could not be reused, we finally saw some magical instruments whose spirituality was retained.

Some of them may be recyclable materials, or they may be relatively complete. If the materials and damaged restriction patterns can be completed, they may be able to shine again!

However, these things are only for fun, and are basically used by Li Ye as consumables for practicing his weapon refining skills.

In addition to these, the most valuable thing was that he found a corpse under the ruins of a building. The corpse was compressed so tightly that it was no different from a fossil in the rock.

Li Ye found a half-broken spiritual sword and a disciple token in his hand!
The restriction on that spiritual weapon magic sword has been broken, and it cannot be repaired without mastering the corresponding array pattern. It is basically just a tool for refining materials.

But tokens are different.

I don’t know if it’s because the token of Tiangong Temple itself has the function of a jade slip, which has led the monks to develop the habit of using it as a common information carrier.

There is also information left in this token!

Li Ye, who was originally a little regretful that he couldn't see the monk's storage tool, felt much better after he tried to activate the token again and saw the contents inside.

What was left in the token was not a last word, but seemed to be a guide for the monks who had just arrived at the lava underground palace, giving a relatively detailed introduction to its situation.

After reading it once, Li Ye not only got answers to many of the doubts in his mind, but also had a clear direction on how to better "pick up trash".

First of all, the lava underground palace is not the real mountain gate of the Tiangong Temple, but a mechanical palace built with the strength of the entire sect. It is the sect's treasure for dispatching many monks during expeditions.

Not only did it retain all the functions of the mountain gate, but it was also equipped with numerous powerful mechanical devices and puppets, making it a war fortress. It was the greatest support for the Tiangong Hall to come from the Western Desert to support the southern border, suppress the demons, and plan the inheritance of the sacred tree of the Wood God Sect!
But obviously, their plan failed in the end.

This puppet palace also remained forever on the land of Southern Xinjiang, sleeping for thousands of years...

It was not until later that it was discovered by Xu Pingyang and others, and Li Ye got it in big time!

"I guess the owner of that token is also a disciple who was recently transferred here. The content of the token is to guide them to familiarize themselves with the palace as quickly as possible..."

Leaning casually on the bed, Li Ye played with the token and said lightly.

In the air in front of him, the spiritual light projected from the token transformed into a text description and a map, forming an introduction to the lava underground palace.

The distribution of various functional areas, relevant precautions, and many restricted areas...all the things that a disciple of the sect should know are described in detail.

Even though the lava underground palace is now mostly shattered, the various powerful mechanical components are nowhere to be seen, and a large number of buildings have been deformed by years of lava burning and are difficult to distinguish.

But after taking out the picture album recorded on the jade slip and comparing it carefully, Li Ye still gained some insights.

"It seems that in the area I'm currently exploring, there are several islands separated by more than a dozen building islands. Near the lava underground palace, there are several islands that are part of the Mechanical Pavilion and the Examination Hall..."

As he pieced the broken buildings together on the map, Li Ye's eyes gradually lit up.

Although it is not the place where the most intuitive opportunities are most likely to appear, such as the spiritual medicine garden, alchemy hall, or weapon refining hall.

But the Jiqiao Pavilion is where the Tiangong Hall collects many skills and inheritances!
The Assessment Hall was established for the purpose of training and examining the talents and combat capabilities of the disciples. If the assessment goals can be achieved, the disciples will be given corresponding rewards under the self-operation of the mechanism.

The latter is purely a matter of luck, and you can only see whether there is still an assessment mechanism and rewards.

But no matter what kind of martial arts inheritance is left in the Jiqiao Pavilion, it will be a great opportunity for Li Ye!
No matter whether it is the study of a hundred arts or the secret techniques, it must be extraordinary to be included in the Huashen Sect!

It would be best if it meets his needs.

For him, who is destined to delve deeply into the various arts of cultivation by relying on the panel, if he can obtain the sect's skills inheritance from the Tiangong Palace, his path of cultivation will most likely be smoother!
The many arts derived from them can also be unified by the exercises, and truly transformed into a closely connected means of practicing and fighting, which will naturally bring endless benefits.

If it is irrelevant, it can also expand the horizons of subsequent practice and compare the path to advancement.

It’s a win-win no matter what!
"Calculating the progress, even if everything goes smoothly, if we want to advance all the way to the corresponding area, we should still open up one or even two more safe zones..."

Li Ye silently calculated, "It's getting increasingly difficult to advance now. I don't know how much time it will take, so there's no need to rush..."

"Let's wait until the auction is over and see if we can exchange them for pill formulas and spiritual plant seedlings, and then put the spiritual fields to good use!"

"Only by gaining enough experience and further improving my attainments in formations and puppetry will I have a better chance of taking over the Mechanical Pavilion and the Assessment Hall..."

With a gleam of light in his eyes, Li Ye was ready to make a fortune from many cultivators!
