Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 181 Crab Eaters

Tickets are on sale with clear prices!
Once this matter was released, it really surprised many monks who had ideas about the origin of the fire beast and were preparing to visit Li Ye or simply sneak into the underground to investigate.

Originally, they thought that Li Ye was setting up formations everywhere, using a large number of fire beast crystal cores as supplies for the formations, and sealing off various underground fire channels. He probably had the idea of exploring and developing the underground treasures on his own.

At most, we can invite some trustworthy companions to go down and explore together!
If others are unable to join in, the only option left is to sneak in secretly.

Many of them who had more ideas began to think about how to start from some mountaintops that also had underground fire passages and use them to enter the underground!
But no one has actually implemented this yet, and Li Ye releasing this news is exactly what they want.

It was just a fire beast core. Anyway, if I went deeper into the underground fire tunnel, I was bound to encounter fire beasts. Taking one of them as my ticket was neither too high nor too low...

In the eyes of some people, it is even quite affordable!
In just the past few days, many foundation-building cultivators came to visit Li Ye, exchanged a pass token from him that allowed them to enter and exit once, and prepared to go underground to explore.

Deng Tiancheng, who got the news from Li Ye first, has gathered some like-minded people and became the first person to enter the underground fire channel!

Watching Deng Tiancheng, Fan Yuanzhou and others pass through the formation and disappear into the underground fire channel, Luo Feibai's face couldn't help but show some hesitation and regret.

"Master, if there really are ancient relics buried underground, wouldn't it be a waste of opportunity to allow others to explore?"

Li Ye's expression was calm, and he just smiled and said,
"If you really think it's a pity and want to go down and take a look, I won't stop you... Anyway, your mission is to lead the suppression of the fire beasts, so killing a few more will make the same difference!"

Luo Feibai looked at Li Ye's smile and felt a sudden panic in his heart.
"I'll just take charge of the situation from the ground..."

He seemed to be thinking of what happened when he and Li Ye went underground to explore.

Not to mention that the journey deeper into the first-level fire beasts seemed endless, until the last five second-level fire beasts besieged them, it seemed that there were more approaching from behind.

Add to that the amount that has been dealt with on the ground, and God knows how many of these things are still out there!

This doesn't seem like something a team of just a few people could break through and get enough luck...

He has just established his foundation and still has over 150 years to live, so it is better for him to cherish his life!
"Then you can just preside over this!"

After giving Luo Feibai a look of recognition, Li Ye's spiritual light became stronger and he floated away.

………………

boom!
The blood in his body surged, releasing a burning aura.

Fan Yuanzhou rushed forward, wearing precious armor and holding a heavy sword in his hand, yet he made it look like nothing was left and his movements were varied.

With one sweep, he easily killed many first-level fire beasts.

With a straight slash of the sword, the astonishing force directly split a second-level fire beast in half, and the two halves turned into ashes as they separated.

He had almost finished dealing with the situation here, and his companions had also cleared out all the fire beasts around them.

With a roll of magic power, fire beast crystal cores of different sizes were collected by everyone.

After the pressure eased and they took a short break, a thin, long-faced monk in the team of four held a second-level crystal core and admired it for a moment before shaking his head and saying,

"Li Ye is really too cautious and values his life too much. He just encountered a larger group of fire beasts once, and he won't dare to come again..."

"No matter how powerful those fire beasts are, how can they pose a threat when we, like our fellow believers, work together?"

"For the sake of temporary peace, he was willing to give away opportunities in his own territory. I wonder if he will regret it in the future..."

Deng Tiancheng glanced at him and said lightly,

"Brother Chang, I think Brother Li has his own plans. Now that we have the convenience, we should not discuss his choice behind his back."

This Chang Chengwei was not his Jiuding Valley disciple, but a casual cultivator whom he met by chance. He invited him in because he saw that Chang Chengwei had some means of restraining the fire element.

In Deng Tiancheng's mind, his status and value were far inferior to that of a master of alchemy like Li Ye. Regardless of whether today's discussion would be spread, he would not allow anything harmful to his relationship with Li Ye to happen in the team.

Even though he had some thoughts like this in his heart...it was the same!
After hearing this, Chang Chengwei felt a little embarrassed.

But Deng Tiancheng was a disciple of Jiuding Valley, and he was already in the middle stage of foundation building at a young age, so he was not someone he could afford to provoke.

In fact, if he were to treat Li Ye outside, he would have to be very respectful and would not dare to talk about him like this.

Who would have thought that his expression of the same idea as many others would lead to Deng Tiancheng stopping him.

Fan Yuanzhou glanced at him and also said,

"Ha! Master Li Dan is a master of great attainments. Just staying in the mountains and accepting alchemy commissions from time to time is enough to earn enough money for his cultivation. There is no need to seek adventure!"

"Instead of worrying about his choice, let's focus on what lies deep within this passage!"

Chang Chengwei's face turned slightly red, and he wanted to argue a little, but he felt powerless because of the fact that Li Ye, as a master of alchemy, was widely loved by many fellow practitioners.

Many times, monks fight for that chance only because they are forced to do so due to their own lack of foundation.

Who wouldn't be happy to be able to steadily improve their cultivation?

For a moment, Chang Chengwei stopped talking with a slightly ugly look on his face and said no more.

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed a little bad, another veteran from the four-person team came out to smooth things over.

"Ahem... How are you fellow Daoists resting? I see the noise down below seems to have died down a bit, so why not take this opportunity to speed up and see the true appearance of this underground treasure sooner rather than later?"

Everyone stopped talking immediately, regrouped and continued to move forward.

……

As they went deeper, Deng Tiancheng and others keenly discovered that the frequency of fire beasts appearing at various intersections of the fire road seemed to be increasing.

The first-level fire beasts appeared in succession, and the second-level fire beasts were no longer alone, but at least two or three appeared together.

The most at one time was as many as six!

That is to say, Deng Tiancheng and Fan Yuanzhou are both in the middle stage of foundation building and have good combat capabilities, otherwise such an attack would have caused them casualties!

"The fire spirit energy is becoming increasingly active and intense. Judging from the number of fire beasts here, we may be approaching the fire beast's lair in the underground lava cave..."

"Everyone, please be alert and be careful of any unusual movements!"

Deng Tiancheng reminded them, and the four of them all looked solemn, their spiritual senses sweeping over every place around them.

If there were more fire beasts, I'm afraid they would turn around and run away!

But this time it wasn't the fire beast that stopped them...

Suddenly, Fan Yuanzhou, who was walking in front, seemed to have triggered something, and a forbidden aura suddenly appeared.

"wrong……"

Fan Yuanzhou's expression changed drastically, "Retreat quickly!"

He reminded them of the exit and at the same time tried to retreat, when a series of powerful forces suddenly erupted, drowning the four people.
