[Spiritual Entry: Vitality Level 1]

【Experience: 3349】

……

Underground Quiet Room.

Li Ye opened the panel, but just after taking a look, the happiness of a good harvest surged into his heart again.

This amount is not enough to upgrade the planting technique to the first level as originally planned.

Even alchemy can be improved to the point where it is just a little bit away from being a complete beginner!
And this green bud spiritual essence...

"The previous fifty strands of green sprout spiritual essence almost restored my vitality and fourth-level cultivation. If I can refine all of these two hundred and fifty strands..."

"Reaching the fifth level shouldn't be difficult!"

Li Ye murmured, his eyes almost shining.

Ever since he had refined all the fifty green buds of spiritual essence that he had harvested, leaving only one or two for emergencies, Li Ye's cultivation progress had once again become slow.

Even if you eat spiritual rice, its effect is far inferior to the pure green bud spiritual essence.

How difficult is it to go from extravagance to frugality?

Without the help of Cui Ya's spiritual essence, the little magic power that Li Ye had improved in the past six months was enough to make him want to cry!

"But I still can't squander all the green buds' spiritual essence at once..."

Li Ye frowned and thought.

He also had the idea of using the spiritual essence of plants and trees as materials for refining medicine.

The spiritual essence obtained in the future will most likely be more precious than the Green Bud spiritual essence. If I don’t use this thing to practice, do I have to use the spiritual essence from those spiritual medicines?
That's such a waste!

Moreover, as long as his idea comes true, the elixir made with such pure medicinal power will most likely contain very little poison. At that time, wouldn't it be more efficient for him to practice by taking drugs?
After some imagination, Li Ye suddenly thought of allocating his experience points to planting techniques to maximize his proficiency and make a breakthrough.

Swah——

In an instant, Li Ye's consciousness became vague.

The detailed techniques for caring for various first-level spiritual medicines and plants, and even information about some low-level second-level spiritual plants, suddenly flooded into his mind.

As he became more familiar with it, it settled down and became a part of his skill.

First-class quality...done!
An old farmer's smile appeared on Li Ye's face, and he had the inexplicable illusion that he had gained a lot of farming experience out of thin air.

He was still a little immersed in it, muttering as he comprehended the changes,

"I can now easily cultivate first-grade spiritual rice, and I know the care methods and precautions for many spiritual plants like the back of my hand..."

"Even if it's a second-level spiritual plant, if it's a species with stronger vitality and lower care requirements, with the help of the [Vitality] entry, it shouldn't be too difficult for me to keep it alive!"

In this way, Li Ye finally had some confidence in his fight for the spiritual field in Elder Ji Qing's cave.

After improving my planting skills, I still have more than 1,800 experience points left.

Li Ye glanced at the panel.

[Planting First-class Superior (0/3000)]

This amount is not something he can handle in a short time.

The most cost-effective way to increase the remaining experience points is still alchemy!

The numerous pharmacological insights gained from his elevated Dan Dao realm could also feed back into his cultivation skills, becoming an additional advantage in this area! With a plan in mind, there was no need to consider further.

With the investment of experience points, Li Ye's proficiency in alchemy soared.

【Uninitiated in the Study of Pills (1878/2000)】

You are only one step away from getting started and mastering it!
Li Ye's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and the many pharmacological changes, firepower control, and various tricks and techniques that were once obscure and difficult to understand became clear one by one.

Even the many basic methods in the inheritance that were pieced together, poorly connected, and full of errors and omissions, now seemed to be reorganized, becoming more organized and easier to understand.

"I see, so that's what it means..."

Subconsciously taking out the jade slip, Li Ye reread the contents, a look of understanding constantly appearing on his face.

But the more he understood, the stranger his expression became.

Snapped!
Finally, Li Ye couldn't help but slam the jade slip on the table and cursed again,

"I don't understand, but looking at this thing again, it's so confusing... You can't even piece together a legacy. It's no wonder your Li family can only produce a bunch of useless people!"

You can’t blame Li Ye for his sharp tongue.

This inheritance is really too deceptive!

From his perspective as a beginner, if it weren't for the panel assistance, with his talent, he would probably never learn anything in his lifetime if he continued to learn according to this inheritance!
If the contents were not so chaotically pieced together and yet so difficult to understand, Li Ye would have suspected that the guys from the third house had secretly done something...

If that’s the case, then the one or two alchemists in the Li family who were able to get started with this thing must really be some genius!

It's outrageous!
If the elixir inheritance is like this, I'm afraid the weapon refining inheritance that gives him the same feeling won't be much better...

Another thing that can only be gained through experience points!

Shaking his head, Li Ye calmed down and subconsciously recalled the feelings of his multiple upgrades.

"The improvement in my abilities on the panel... seems to be more of a direct elevation of my skill level. Then, at a higher level, I can sort out the inheritance information I once mastered and complete it..."

"In this way, even though my inheritance is incomplete, I can continue to improve, but there will always be certain limitations..."

"If I have the chance, I'll have to collect some other complete inheritances to take a look!"

…………

"Junior Brother Li, although Elder Ji is relatively easy to talk to, he is well-known among the sect elders for his eccentric temperament and extraordinary combat power..."

"That's why he never cared about socializing with other elders, and even preferred to choose a disciple who had no connection with the other elders to take care of his spiritual fields..."

"When you come to pay your respects this time, remember to be careful with your words and actions, and don't come rashly!"

Old man Luo kept on giving instructions to Li Ye, being very careful.

"Don't worry... I'm steady, don't you know that, Senior Brother?"

Li Ye replied with a smile.

The old man smiled when he heard this, looking relieved.

"That's right, Junior Brother is very calm and adaptable. Even if this fails, there's no need to worry about angering the elders..."

Now that he had said this, his expression became serious again.
"However, Junior Brother, your competitors this time all came from the Spiritual Medicine Garden. Their Spiritual Planting Techniques are probably approaching the second-level level. I wonder if you are confident?"

Although he recommended this time, it was mainly because he had not made many friends with Lingnong disciples, so it would be better to make some friends with Li Ye.

But if Li Ye is really capable and can be chosen by the elders, it will be of greater benefit to him!

"It's nothing more than doing one's best and leaving the rest to fate..."

Li Ye replied calmly,

"Brother, we're here!"

Looking up, they saw a mountain in front of them, which was covered by light clouds and could not be seen clearly.
