Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 167 Three Roads
Considering the status of the Sky Realm Tree as a sacred tree of inheritance, and the amazing effects of the Sky Realm spiritual essence.

Li Ye had reason to doubt.

It is possible that in the past of the Wood God Sect, spiritual objects with similar effects to those obtained by absorbing the spiritual essence from the Sky Realm Tree were the sect's most important inheritances.

Most of the time, only some high-ranking members of the sect and geniuses who have made sufficient contributions to the sect will have the opportunity to enjoy one or two!
But for him, it has become an annual routine?

"If I had obtained the Wood God Art a few years earlier, I wouldn't have needed to rely on the Green Vine and Jade Wood Formation after I established my foundation. I could have single-handedly dealt with Xu Pingyang and Ma Ying and the others..."

Li Ye joked.

In his heart, he was very glad that he had chosen the Wood God Technique in the ruined Mechanical Pavilion.

Although the external objects acquired through various arts can also be used for fighting and protecting the Dao, in addition to these, one should also have some useful means.

It is safest to complement each other and leave no loopholes!
"And this Green Wood Divine Fire was actually achieved in one go..."

Pure green flames emerged from Li Ye's hands, and the temperature seemed normal, like swaying grass leaves.

When it was thrown to the ground, it immediately spread out and burned on the green grass, but it did not burn it to ashes on the spot.

When it was pulled back again, the grass leaves on the ground only wilted slightly.

However, this pure green flame seemed to be slightly brighter, with faint traces of plant essence flowing through it.

"You can refine the essence of plants and trees for your own use. This can not only increase the power of your true fire, but also refine and enhance your magical power..."

Li Ye said lightly and snapped his fingers again.

The pure green flame immediately fell on the stone that had just been cut, quickly covering it and spreading. Then, tree-like textures appeared on the stone, and then it was burned into slag.

"And it possesses the magical power of wood transformation. Regardless of its magical tools, protective aura, or even its flesh and blood body, they will all be affected. The more severe the wood transformation, the greater the extent to which it will be burned by this fire and drained of its essence!"

"If the entire flesh and blood body is corroded by this fire and turned into wood, then it can be completely burned, and the essence of this fire can be tempered..."

When Li Ye thought of this, his expression showed that something was wrong.

This kind of secret method is a bit too powerful and overbearing. It can absorb the essence of plants and trees, and even has the magical power of turning into wood. Isn't this clearly telling the disciples how to quickly achieve spiritual success?

Compared with the Tiangong Jing which takes puppets as the core and blends the essence of many arts into it.

This Wood God Technique was entirely based on the Wood Element, but it showed an intention to suppress many elements with this pure means.

It was this method of absorbing essence that really surprised Li Ye.

He could almost imagine how the disciples of the Shenmu Sect in ancient times dominated the southern border cultivation world with their Wood God True Fire and Green Wood Spirit Light!

"This is just a brief experiment. The grass and stones I burned are only slightly spiritual... If we really encounter cultivators or monsters, facing all kinds of methods, it may not have such an immediate and amazing effect..."

Li Ye thought for a moment, but the smile on his face remained strong.

"But I have the spiritual essence of the Void Realm to steadily push it forward. With the accumulation of time and effort, this fire will become extremely powerful in the future!"

At this point, his path of cultivation was finally clear.

Taking the Wood Nerve as the foundation, the practice of the Wood Path can rely on many spiritual plants such as the Sky Realm Tree to feedback the spiritual essence of plants and trees as the main path of cultivation to supplement the practice.

Next, there's the path of combined cultivation, focusing on the Tiangong Sutra, which provides an overview of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation and other external objects, while also leveraging the experience gained from cultivating spiritual plants. Finally, when resources and time are plentiful, the path of physical cultivation is taken up, focusing more on self-defense and preparing for breakthroughs to higher realms.

They each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and complementing each other is enough to allow Li Ye to practice smoothly without fear of external disasters!

However, with the various special features brought by the Wood God Technique, Li Ye's demand for physical cultivation methods seems to have decreased.

Although the method of Wanshou Shen, which requires absorbing and refining the essence and blood of monsters to build the physique, is considered exquisite, it is slightly inferior to the Wood God Art and the Tiangong Sutra.

Li Ye has just practiced a little and tempered his blood and energy. He has not yet decided on the type of monster he wants to refine. Now is the perfect time to wait and see.

………………

[......]
[You cultivate the second-level spiritual plant [Green Rice] to maturity, experience +5...]
[......]
[The second-level spiritual plant [Qingxuan Rice] has fully matured, and you gain [Qingxuan Spiritual Essence] (5%)...]
[......]
As the Sky Realm Tree gives another year's feedback, the green rice that matures once a year also matures.

This rice is what Li Ye uses for daily meals and is also the main source of his experience points. It is mainly a basic crop.

The Qingxuan Lingyun produced by it can be regarded as a substitute for the Lingyun of the Polygonatum fruit for Li Ye for the time being.

After nearly a year of careful cultivation by Li Ye, the Polygonatum fruit and other second-level spiritual plants have finally filled the fields.

If you want it to mature enough for alchemy, it will take at least five years to cultivate, and ten years to achieve the best results.

But according to Li Ye's experience, although it takes a long time to mature, it does not prevent him from steadily gaining experience points and spiritual essence.

This year, the divided plants have been fully planted and all we need to do is harvest the spiritual essence and collect it to make other spiritual medicines and refine pills.

With his current alchemy skills, he can definitely refine as many elixirs with Danwen as possible with the least possible consumption of spiritual energy.

It will take time for the spirit essence of the Polygonatum fruit to be produced, so we can only use the Qingxuan spirit essence for now!
After all, spiritual rice is often gentle and pure in nature, and so is its spiritual essence. In alchemy, as long as the properties of the elixir are suitable, it can be a panacea for purifying the medicinal power.

When the Yuzhu fruit can be produced stably, it will not be a waste whether I use the Qingxuan spiritual light to refine it myself or use it to refine the Wood God True Fire.

"I wonder if the solidified spiritual essence of this Qingxuan rice will give rise to different entries..."

The effects of [Wood Spirit] and [Tongtian] have not yet been triggered by any spiritual plant.

Only then did Li Ye realize how low the so-called "extremely small probability" was...

But I would rather strengthen it with some practical terms!

Li Ye looked at the rice ears in front of him that were rolling with spiritual light, and smelled the rice fragrance emitted by the spiritual rice. However, he raised his hand slightly and the green spiritual light shot out.

This spiritual light has some magical power, and is especially effective on plants and trees.

At this time, it is more like urging the growth of the rice so that it can mature and fall on its own.

However, a flash of inspiration passed by, and large handfuls of rice ears fell down one after another, and were then collected into the prepared pockets.

The whole process was extremely smooth. Compared to the time when he was practicing Qi and had to harvest rice with a sickle in hand, it really seemed a lot easier.

He has some of the bearing of a cultivator!
At the same time, panel prompts popped up again in Li Ye's eyes.
