Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 156 There is a right way to die
Hearing this, many foundation-building cultivators who had cast their spiritual consciousness twitched their lips slightly.

Suppressed by the formation and unable to move, Yang Yuqing, who was about to say something, was stunned for a moment.

Although there is nothing wrong with saying this, but in front of such a female cultivator who is in the foundation-building stage, do you really have no intention of showing any sympathy to her?
Li Ye doesn't bother to care about those trivial things.

Most female cultivators of the same level have their own temperaments, and their appearance is not much better than that of the maids. Why bother to please them?
Wouldn't it be more satisfying to use this free time to flirt and play with a few maids and enjoy their gentleness and obedience?
Li Ye casually untied the formation restraints on the woman and said calmly,

"Now that we're back in the market, Fellow Daoist Yang, you can do as you please... But if there's another dispute or conflict, I won't be able to help you for free like I did just now!"

"I will abide by the rules here."

Yang Yuqing put on her hat again to cover her face, and said with a little suffocation.

Nodding, Li Ye did not stay any longer and turned into a ray of light and flew away.

Seeing Li Ye leaving the market, and sensing the lingering spiritual consciousness, Yang Yuqing's expression changed slightly under her bamboo hat.

Not daring to delay any longer, he immediately flew up and headed towards the rented cave.

She is now seriously injured, and Li Ye has left. If the group of foundation-building cultivators left here have any ill intentions, she is afraid that she will not be able to resist at all.

Only by renting the cave and becoming Li Ye's guest again can he receive some nominal protection and prevent others from acting rashly.

"Boring..."

Standing at the street corner, Deng Tiancheng looked at the entrance of the market town which had returned to normal, and shook his head in disappointment.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to see how Li Ye would fight with the help of the formation, but not only did Quan Chaoliang retreat decisively, Li Ye also had no intention of using force, and the fight ended peacefully!

…………

"Humph! Quan Chaoliang knew this was my first auction, yet he still had the audacity to try and ambush me from outside, ruining my plans... He truly deserves to die!"

A cold light flashed in Li Ye's eyes, but his aura and figure were almost invisible, and not a trace of his aura was revealed.

Under the double blockade of the secret technique of concealing breath and talismans, he completely concealed himself.

In his hand was a Xunxi Gu, which guided the remaining breath with a slight vibration and rushed in a certain direction.

His main purpose in this auction, in addition to collecting the things he needs for his own practice, is to use it to build a reputation and make connections, so that in the future, he can continue to receive commissions for elixirs while staying in the mountains, which can be exchanged for various benefits.

If Yang Yuqing was really killed by Quan Chaoliang outside the market, this auction would have an additional stain.

Others will also look down on him and regard him as weak. All kinds of thoughts and means that he originally dared not to act on will come to his mind and cause him a lot of trouble.

And this is just because this person is lustful and greedy at the moment!
Moreover, Quan Chaoliang has a bad reputation and is not a good person.

Just now, I had offended him by stopping his actions in the market. If there is any unrest in the Red Land Mountains in the future, the probability of this person taking the opportunity to retaliate is quite high!
Given all these circumstances, if Li Ye doesn't keep this person here forever today, it would be in vain that he has been so cautious until now.

"It's a pity that he didn't take the initiative and instead backed down immediately. Otherwise, I would have been able to take him down right away in the market place..."

Li Ye's tone was a little regretful, but when he saw the increasingly intense reaction of the Xunxi Gu in his hand, he couldn't help but smile.

"But it's not too late to act now!"

…………

"Damn it! If I had known that woman was capable of escaping like this, I shouldn't have attacked her!"

Pink spiritual light flowed on Quan Chaoliang's body, and he fled to the outside of the red mountains at an ordinary speed, appearing harmless.

He cursed under his breath, looking quite regretful.

Not only did he fail to capture the woman by taking action today, but he also offended Li Ye.

Even if he had any other ideas in the future, the other party would probably not give him the chance to get close again, so he would miss the opportunity to slaughter the fat sheep!
It's like trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice!

"Hmph! Li Ye..." A sinister look flashed in his eyes, "You'd better manage these mountains and lands like an iron wall, and stay in your formation all day long..."

"Otherwise, if I get the chance, I will make sure to pay back all the losses I suffered today!"

The interests involved in just one auction are astonishingly huge.

Quan Chaoliang simply couldn't imagine how much Li Ye's total wealth accumulation would reach!

If one could seize such a fortune, it would be so beneficial to one's cultivation that it would probably be enough to save one from more than ten years of hard practice!
Thinking of this, Quan Chaoliang couldn't help but lick his lips, feeling a strong greed.

Suddenly, his spiritual sense seemed to have discovered something, and then the alarm bells in his heart rang wildly, as if some fatal crisis was about to happen.

I subconsciously hid in one direction.

But this time, dodging is completely useless!
Just as he reacted, the scenery in front of him changed. Lush green trees rose up, and endless branches and vines came from the swirling mist.

"Li Ye, you dare to kill me!?"

Quan Chaoliang shouted angrily and immediately cast a flame shield to protect himself.

The raging flames actually burned the first batch of attacking branches and vines, turning them into pure spiritual energy and dissipating.

The peach blossom fan was sacrificed on the spot, and when combined with the spiritual light on his body, it tumbled and quickly dispersed to the surroundings.

He naturally didn't think that his peach blossom miasma could make Li Ye, a second-level alchemist, fall victim to it. He just wanted to confuse his spiritual senses and find an opportunity to break the formation and escape!

But Quan Chaoliang had no time to breathe a sigh of relief or look for a loophole in the formation that he could use to escape.

Yellow sand suddenly rose up in the formation, changing into many shapes, mixing with the branches and vines derived from the formation, and then attacked.

The Flowing Fire Cover might have a special defensive effect against the branches and vines derived from the formation.

But when faced with such earth-attributed spiritual weapons, they would be suppressed immediately!
Moreover, both the yellow sand and the branches and vines were rushing straight into his peach blossom miasma, launching indiscriminate attacks. Even if they could conceal their tracks for a while, they still could not escape the overwhelming attack!

I saw a huge wave of yellow sand coming, easily suppressing the flames on it, penetrating into it and attacking Quan Chaoliang's body.

He was still about to retract the Flowing Fire Cover to gain defensive space and retreat temporarily.

He was knocked down on the spot by such a battle. Not only was the Flowing Fire Shield shattered, but the protective aura was also about to be broken!

Only the low-grade spiritual weapon peach blossom fan was still holding on.

But it is not a defensive treasure in itself, and relying on its quality to hold on is just a spent force.

Now Quan Chaoliang finally panicked.
"Li Ye, we have no grudges against each other, why do you want to kill me..."

However, Li Ye's response was to activate several talismans. One spell after another filled the gap between the formation and the yellow sand gourd, completely blocking all its escape space.

As a result, this person is no longer able to support himself.

"Don't kill me! I can give you... no—"

While screaming, his head was chopped off by a sharp blade made of yellow sand.

"The puppet battle formation was destroyed before it could even be used. This person is even more vulnerable than I thought..."

Li Ye walked slowly out of the blurred woods, but suddenly his expression changed slightly and he glanced in a certain direction.

Immediately, all the corpses and remains of Chao Liang were collected, and several formation flags came flying back. When the formation dissipated, Li Ye also disappeared.
