Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 183 Visitors from Three Sects
Deng Tiancheng is gone.

With a heart full of doubts and confusion, as well as a little resentment and helplessness.

Li Ye was already the second-level formation master he had the best relationship with and the easiest to find... but he was unwilling to go down and take a look!
Previously, it would have been fine if there were only fire beasts, as this was indeed fraught with danger and could not fully prove that there were ancient relics hidden in the underground lava.

Li Ye has his own unique alchemy methods to support his own practice, so he can fully understand why he doesn't want to take risks.

But the appearance of the formation restriction almost clearly told the world that there must be something underneath, and he could still refuse!
How could this person be so cautious? !

You can make pills and understand formations, and you can practice steadily all the way to the late stage of foundation building. Isn’t that amazing?

When you miss this opportunity and are blocked by the bottleneck of the golden elixir and watch your life run out, I will see whether you will regret abandoning the ancient relics at the door of this house!

After leaving Pingyang Mountain, Deng Tiancheng did not even stay in the Red Mountains, but left directly. It is unknown whether he went to find a suitable formation master.

At about the same time, more and more foundation-building monks came down together, and most of them returned in disgrace with heavy losses.

In this first round of exploration, I suffered almost all the losses I should have suffered.

I didn't find any underground treasures, but I killed many fire beasts and paid enough for the ticket.

This allowed Li Ye, who stayed in the mountains and was unwilling to take risks, to make a small profit and also to control the problem of fire beasts wreaking havoc in his territory to a great extent.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator, who had indeed caused a lot of losses to a group of people, was secretly muttering about it, feeling very depressed, but he could only accept it helplessly.

After all, what Li Ye did was quite good. He had the formation to block subsequent pursuit, and the fee was not high. The current situation was not enough to make them turn against Li Ye, the master of alchemy.

In the end, the group only reached one consensus.

Without enough forbidden-breaking talismans, or even a highly accomplished formation master by your side, it would be difficult to explore these underground treasures!

However, Li Yelian and Deng Tiancheng both rejected him, so even if other people could think of him, they would naturally be turned away.

With so many people returning from foundation-building exercises in failure and formation masters being so rare, the enthusiasm for exploring the Red Mountains immediately dropped a lot.

The monks either knew their own abilities and gave up, or they each found a way out.

As this group of monks tried their best to find out, the latest situation under the Red Mountains was quickly known to all forces.

This made some people who were far away really pay attention to this place.

If there really is such a large scale, and it is a mixture of second and third level restrictions, it is inevitable that there are at least the remains of a Jindan force in the underground lava!

Who knows, if we go deeper, we might find a fourth-level treasure. The value of such a treasure is inestimable...

This is a huge temptation for many foundation-building people in the four countries!
Even the Jindan forces were no longer just disciples like Deng Tiancheng acting spontaneously, but had sent some cultivators representing their own factions to come and investigate underground.

In recent years, many demon cultivators who have become increasingly active in Huan and Yue countries due to the invasion of demons seem to have arrived in the Red Mountains.

………………

"Does Li Ye really know nothing about the underground situation?"

On the flying boat, looking at the area where the land was gradually turning red and the fire spiritual power was becoming more active, Zou Zifu frowned and asked Deng Tiancheng.

This man had gray hair and a serious expression, which gave him a unique sense of majesty.

Although both were in the late Foundation Establishment stage, his magical aura was much stronger than the latter, with a subtle sense of suppression. As the right-hand man of the head of the Nine Ding Valley, he was the leading cultivator in charge of discovering the secret treasures beneath the Red Land Mountains.

Deng Tiancheng was the first cultivator to explore the underground and discover abnormalities such as formations and restrictions. In this respect, he had an advantage over the host Li Ye.

Now that the secret of the underground treasure had been made public, he was naturally drafted into the army.

Now there is no need to look for or invite other formation masters. You can directly touch the sect's foundation, and there will be no shortage of forbidden talismans and second-level formation masters.

There is a great chance to go deep underground and see the true appearance of this treasure!
Although he felt a little regretful that he could no longer take the lead and would not be able to take the lion's share if given the opportunity, he could accept this situation compared to always being able to wander around on the outside and not being able to touch the real benefits inside.

Deng Tiancheng naturally knew the purpose of Zou Zifu's question.

He thought about it carefully and said:
"I've had a lot of interactions with Li Ye, and I've been to these Red Mountains quite a few times... The appearance of this fire beast is indeed unexpected, and the first time he went underground to explore, he was even quite cautious and asked me to protect him. But it wasn't long before he fled back in panic, even with the fire beast chasing him!"

"Since then, he's been meticulously sealing off the area and hasn't mentioned going down to explore again... It was only after I made a tentative invitation that he finally decided to go all out and start selling tickets, allowing fellow explorers to explore!"

"This is quite consistent with his usual style. He's probably just trying to profit from the situation... And with his strength, even if he has some skills in formations, with so many fire beasts underground, it's unlikely he could go in alone and seize the treasure for himself!"

"That's good..." Zou Zifu nodded with satisfaction.

What he feared most was that there was only an empty shell left below, whose benefits had been taken away by others long ago. They took great pains to clear out the fire beasts and break the formation, but in the end they were just clearing away hidden dangers for the cultivators in Li Ye's small place.

It seems that although Li Ye lacks some fighting spirit, he does know how to protect himself. Even if such a huge opportunity appears in his territory, he will not necessarily endanger his life even if he cannot obtain it.

As someone who came from a Jindan sect, he had a good impression of such sensible people.

But as his spiritual sense was activated, Zou Zifu's face darkened slightly, and Deng Tiancheng also subconsciously looked to the side.

I saw another flying boat speeding over. The person leading it was wearing a black and blue leather robe with faint scaly spiritual patterns emerging. He was tall and looked quite majestic.

He was none other than Kong Changsheng, who was born in Qiandao Water City and had had several interactions with him, and whose status within the sect was even very similar to his.

"Hahahaha! Brother Zou, I haven't seen you for a long time. I knew I'd have a chance to meet you here!"

Kong Changsheng's voice was like a huge bell. As soon as he opened his mouth, it spread in all directions and even made Deng Tiancheng feel a faint buzzing in his ears. He couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

Fan Yuanzhou, who hurriedly walked out of the flying boat's cabin, was even more shocked... As a body-refining cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, his foundation was much worse than this person's!
"Humph!"

Zou Zifu snorted coldly, vaguely offsetting the previous impact.

He looked calm as he watched Kong Changsheng and his group approaching quickly.
"Even you're here... so the people from the other two major sects should be here soon?"

"Hahahaha! The Zixuan Sect is now in deep trouble. I'm afraid they may not be able to spare any manpower to rush over..."

Kong Changsheng chuckled, "But the people from Feiyu Sect are indeed right behind me..."

"You two fellow Taoists seem quite talkative. Could it be that you are discussing Liao?"

Another flying boat caught up, and on it, a thin monk with short hair asked in a shrill voice.

He was none other than Liao Shengtao, a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building sent by Feiyu Sect.

And if Li Ye were here, he would definitely recognize that the man standing next to him with bloodstains in the corners of his eyes, adding a bit of evil to his handsome face, was none other than Cai Shiwei who had been lurking in Zixuan Sect!
