Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 172 Four Kingdoms Golden Elixir
"Fellow Daoist Fan, I have fulfilled my mission... The Chongyuan Pill you need is right here!"

Li Ye placed several jade bottles with talismans on them on the table and signaled Fan Yuanzhou to check one or two.

"We agreed on ten days, and it's only been five days, yet you've already finished refining it? Your efficiency is truly astonishing!"

A look of joy appeared on Fan Yuanzhou's face. As he spoke, he reached out and took a jade bottle, opened the talisman, and carefully poured out a pill.

This pill was pure black. He put it close to his nose and sniffed it gently. Immediately, a pungent and spicy taste rushed into his nose, stirring up a slight fluctuation in the blood and qi in his body.

This effect immediately dispelled all the doubts in Fan Yuanzhou's heart, and even brought him greater surprise.

A whiff of the elixir's fragrance made his blood and qi react, and he felt a little bit of momentum. The effect of this elixir was even better than the Chongyuan elixir he had taken in the past!
Li Yetan's attainments in Taoism are indeed extraordinary!

"Good good!"

Fan Yuanzhou praised loudly, "Master Li's alchemy skills are amazing. I, Old Fan, am truly impressed!"

"I came to you this time after hearing Junior Brother Deng's recommendation to ask for the elixir. I really didn't come to the wrong person!"

Deng Tiancheng listened silently on the side, with a proud smile on his face. It turned out that he had made the right move by coming here this time.

In the past few years, Li Ye seemed to stay in the mountains and seldom went out. He was a complete ascetic, and the abilities he displayed were becoming more and more unfathomable.

I should try to win over more friends!

"As long as you are satisfied, fellow Daoist." Li Ye said with a faint smile.

"Satisfied! Of course I'm very satisfied!"

Fan Yuanzhou nodded heavily, "Old Fan, if I can get some spiritual medicine in the future, I will definitely come to you again to ask for pills!"

"Now that I have the elixir, I'm anxious to go back and take it and go into seclusion. I won't bother you, Master Li Dan, any more..."

"When my cultivation level has improved, I'll find some good wine and come visit you again!"

Li Ye cheered in his heart and immediately cupped his hands, "Then I wish you a smooth breakthrough."

Fan Yuanzhou was anxious to go back to seclusion. Although Deng Tiancheng wanted to sit down and talk with Li Ye for a few more words, he had no choice but to say goodbye and leave with him.

"Brother Li, I will always remember your help. If there is anything I can help you with in the future, please feel free to ask..."

Before leaving, he whispered something to someone.

Li Ye smiled and nodded, feeling a little surprised.

Then I realized that this person seemed to have misunderstood.

He just wanted to refine the Chongyuan Pill as quickly as possible and send them away, but Deng Tiancheng seemed to think that his efficiency and quality were both excellent this time, and he did it for his face.

Well... it's not bad to make him owe you a favor for no reason!

"But if you discover something unusual underground, or even the lava palace... I'm afraid this favor will vanish immediately!"

Li Ye watched the two of them leave for battle, his eyes slightly deep.

During the five days, in addition to refining the elixir, he also went underground to observe the conditions of the lava palace.

What is more gratifying is that, perhaps due to the fact that the lava palace itself did not unleash much power, there is still some restraint on the formation ban. After experiencing a series of outbursts, the changes in the formation ban have finally slowed down a lot.

It was no longer as loud as before, and Li Ye almost thought that the underground fire veins were about to erupt on a large scale.

Fortunately, the power of the formation did not completely explode in chaos. Instead, its expansion had some suppressive effect on the underground fire veins. In the end, it only made the fire caves in the entire red mountains unstable for a few days.

The formation he had left behind from his previous emergency treatment was still effective, greatly delaying the expansion and drastic changes in the formation ban, and also blocking many fire beasts.

But the situation is still not optimistic. Since the balance of the formation has been broken from within, it can no longer be stopped.

Even if the momentum slows down a bit, with the constraints of Li Ye's formation, I'm afraid that within two or three years, the fire caves in the red mountains may fall into the coverage of the formation and be affected, and even traces of fire beasts may appear!

By then, there will be nothing left to hide!
"Calculating the time, by then my cultivation should have accumulated enough to break through to the middle stage of foundation building..."

Li Ye looked inward. In his Dantian, the Qi swirled and continuously absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy.

At its core, a pure green fire as green as a leaf swayed gently, refining the absorbed spiritual energy. The refined spiritual power was then integrated into the round, blue-purple liquid magic power particles below.

Looking closely, there are now as many as twenty-four, and it is not far from the thirty that are enough to try to break through.

With the help of elixirs, Li Ye's practice efficiency was greatly improved.

Even if you don't spare the consumption of spirit stones, you can only accumulate two liquid mana per year. Now you can accumulate about four per year.

The quality of his magic power, which is refined by the spiritual essence of the void once a year, is pure and condensed, and of extremely high quality!

He estimated that his magic power was probably no worse than any cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.

If it were a late-stage cultivator with inferior skills, he would probably be at most on par with him in terms of pure magic power!

Doing so will be of great benefit to your practice, and the bottleneck restrictions will be weakened along the way.

If everything goes well, he will be able to break through to the middle stage of foundation building in two years at most!

"But in this situation, the mid-stage foundation building stage doesn't seem to be of much use..."

Li Ye touched his chin and said, "Then we can only hide!"

After so many years of exploring and picking up trash, he is very clear about the dangers of the lava underground palace.

Not to mention the main body inside, just the periphery is mainly composed of second-level array prohibitions, with third-level and fourth-level ones also quite a few.

Even if it really comes out one day, given the current situation of the four countries.

Not to mention that those Jindan ancestors may not be able to come, even if they come, if they take the slightest risk, there is a high probability that they will be trapped.

I don’t even know how he died in the end!

Just thinking of this, Li Ye recalled what he knew about the four countries' golden elixirs.

The demons from the Huan and Yue countries have used the secret realm as their base and have never been eradicated. Even whether the passage to the lower realm has been closed remains in doubt. They have to be on guard against sudden attacks from the Jindan demons almost every day.

As the status of Master Zixuan and Taoist Feiyu fell to the bottom, various forces emerged in both countries, and the magic skills flourished. The situation continued to be turbulent, making the rule of the two sects quite unstable.

This situation is extremely corrupt.

Even though there are many things involved over there, and the mother body of the Sky Realm Tree may still be in the secret realm, Li Ye will never consider returning to Huanguo unless he can achieve the Golden Elixir!

The golden elixir in Qiandao Water City seems to be nearing the end of his life, but with the third-level black dragon, the golden elixir's combat power can protect the foundation and is relatively stable, so it is possible that he will come.

The Valley Master of Jiuding Valley seemed to be in the prime of his life, but it seemed that there was some problem with his cultivation method and he needed to be in seclusion for many years...

Deng Tiancheng was very secretive about this matter, and Li Ye also got the information from other channels, whose authenticity was unknown.

If you look at it that way.

When the lava underground palace is revealed, at most only Qiandao Water City and Jiuding Valley Jindan may come to seek opportunities.

"If two of them come at once, I might be able to stay safe while they keep each other in check."

"If there's only one person, then the chances of him coming straight to me, the local tyrant, without any courtesy is quite high!"

Li Ye smacked his lips. "Unless I upgrade the formation to the third level, I can stop that golden elixir from forcing its way through..."

"Then we can just wait for him to break into the underground palace and commit suicide!"

"But a third-level formation..."

Li Ye murmured, "Give me some more time, it seems that it can be done!"
