Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 203 Bihu Notes
"Isn't this absurd? How can a dignified Jindan be so poor?"

Li Ye could hardly hide his surprise.

The rather spacious space of the jade pendant seemed empty, with the things inside it occupying only a small corner.

Although there are quite a few spirit stones, there are only about 10,000 of them. Then there are various third-level and second-level spirit materials. Li Ye has accumulated more than this amount over the years.

But this kind of property has never been Li Ye's goal.

"Senior Bihu, I don't want these things of yours. Most of what you should have left has been given to your disciples..."

"But even if you're leaving this practice journal of yours to your disciples, shouldn't you carry it with you as a souvenir?"

He quickly searched the jade pendant with his spiritual sense, simply skipping over everything else and searching only for jade slips, animal skins, or gold and jade books.

After flipping through the books on the Black Water Mysterious Art practiced by Bihu Sanren, as well as some water-related secret techniques, and even a collection of novels and storybooks, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in Li Ye's eyes.

Swah——

A jade book appeared in his hand. With a push of his magic power, a little bit of spiritual light immediately emerged and turned into many words and patterns.

But in just a short while, a large area unfolded in front of Li Ye.

"The Bihu Notebook... merely records the accumulation of my lifelong experiences. I hope it can be passed down to future generations. This, along with the Thousand Islands Water City, will be considered the traces I have left behind..."

"call……"

Li Ye stared at the many words and patterns, his expression becoming more and more excited.

"Great, great! After searching high and low for something, it's finally found! Senior Bihu, this gift from you is truly wonderful!"

This jade book records what Bihu Sanren saw and heard throughout his life.

During this short tour, Li Ye discovered that apart from some personal matters, he had recorded in almost every detail Bihu Sanren's insights into cultivation and experiences since he started practicing Qigong.

Most of the five hundred years of life accumulated are here!
The most important part for Li Ye is the golden elixir, which accounts for the largest proportion.

The process of forming the elixir and the insights gained, as well as the subsequent reflections and some treatment methods, are all recorded in extreme detail!

Now, I have only skimmed through it briefly and have gained a lot of insights, and have a good understanding of all the requirements for forming a pill.

"The Golden Elixir Path uses mana to solidify, removing the dross and retaining the essence, thus condensing it into a unified form of True Essence... The entire process focuses on the degree of solidification of the mana itself!"

"For spiritual objects like the Five Elements Golden Elixir, the purpose is to directly refine mana to increase its solidification, and provide pure true essence to promote the condensation and sublimation of mana, thereby greatly increasing the success rate of forming the elixir..."

"The same is true for Mysterious Fire Liquid and Condensed Frost Water. They rely on the evolution of the Yin-Yang, water-fire forces to achieve similar effects... However, the entire process inevitably consumes some of the practitioner's mana, so the success rate is not as high as that of the Five Elements Golden Elixir!"

"If only one of the two is present, then apart from cultivators with corresponding attributes, one can only use its properties to temporarily refine the mana. The impact on the solidification of mana is probably quite limited, and the improvement is naturally minimal!"

Li Ye watched it bit by bit, and quickly came to many conclusions based on his own understanding.

Some of his thoughts were confirmed in this way.

"And if that's the case..."

"The idea of using the spiritual essence of the void realm to refine one's own magic power day by day until the foundation is complete and it is as close to a solidified state as possible can increase the success rate is correct!"

"And the principles of Mysterious Fire Liquid and Condensed Frost Water also prove that if there is a method that matches the Yin and Yang of water and fire, it may also be helpful in condensing the golden elixir during the breakthrough..."

"This Dragon-Tiger Body Refining Method is something I should really practice diligently, pushing its artistic conception as far as possible to the harmony of water, fire, yin and yang!" Li Ye kept muttering, "And if I could gather the Mysterious Fire Liquid and Condensed Frost Water, and then practice this method, perhaps they would produce a greater synergistic effect, reducing the loss of spiritual objects and mana..."

"The success rate of forming a pill will be pushed to a level comparable to the effectiveness of taking the Five Elements Golden Pill!"

Although the goal was set, it was still difficult to obtain spiritual objects such as the Mysterious Fire Liquid and the Condensed Frost Water.

The Xuanhuo Liquid may be stored in the ruined building that seems to be the secret pavilion or in the lava underground palace. You can try to obtain it.

At least it's a clue.

But frost water...

This substance can only be condensed in extremely cold places where the conditions are met.

Although the cultivation world in Southern Xinjiang is not as good as that in Northern Plains, it certainly has such terrain, which can stably obtain such spiritual objects for forming elixirs.

But it doesn’t mean that it is also present in Shikoku!
Even Li Ye was not quite sure where the frost water here came from in the past.

Perhaps it is in certain extreme seasons that certain places can meet the harvest requirements, or it may have been passed down from the other side of the Wanshou Mountains.

No matter which one it is, at least he doesn't have the corresponding channels now.

"It's still too early to achieve Dan... I'll slowly gather intelligence and wait for an opportunity..."

Li Ye calmed down and put away the jade book, Bihu Notes, for the time being.

The content here spans Bihu Sanren's entire life and is truly rich and complex. Even the part about the experience of forming a pill cannot be fully understood and mastered in a short period of time.

There is no need to immerse yourself in it too much, just read it slowly later.

Li Ye felt that if he could completely transform the lifetime accumulation of a golden elixir into his own foundation, it would be of great benefit not only in his cultivation.

He should also have a special understanding of the forces of the four countries and even the prosperous world of immortal cultivation on the other side of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains.

This will enable him to make more accurate judgments when dealing with many matters in the future!
Feeling very satisfied, Li Ye continued to count the remaining items in the jade pendant.

This Bihu Notebook alone has satisfied all his needs, but he still needs to figure out what is in it.

Any discovery that can be used can be considered a new surprise!
"Is this... a third-level black dragon's blood essence?"

After confirming everything one by one, Li Ye looked at the jade bottle that was extremely well preserved and opened it to take a look.

Suddenly he felt a faint pressure and a strange fragrance, which aroused a reaction in his physical body. Faintly, the roars of dragons and tigers could be heard in the illusory spiritual world.

Li Ye swallowed his saliva, and inexplicably felt that his body was longing for this, as if he wanted to use it to make up for the part that was still incomplete.

"If I could refine this essence and blood into the foundation of the Myriad Beasts' body, the resulting body would surely be incredibly powerful... Unfortunately, it would also throw the dragon and tiger prototypes I worked so hard to deduce off balance..."

"The essence and blood of the third-level black dragon and the second-level tiger demon are incompatible!"

He resolutely suppressed his desire, put away the jade bottle containing the blood, and shook his head regretfully.

"What a pity... The temporary physical strength and combat power are not as strong as those required for Dan-forming, so there is no need to consider it at all..."

"Unless I can obtain a third-level tiger demon's blood essence, I'll just have to keep it for now and use it for something else..."
