Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 225 Fishing from the Lake
"What a pity! His chance of survival has been completely cut off..."

Li Ye held a dry and hard broken branch, carefully feeling its structure, and shook his head with regret.

The place where he is now is filled with thick miasma and evil spirits. The soil is dark yellow and there is no grass growing in the entire area.

There was only a very deep pit, and not far away from it was a dead sapling.

There are faint dragon scale patterns on it, but they are twisted, and after withering, there is no power left.

It was exactly where the first third-level spiritual plant, the Dragon Subduing Wood, appeared after his subordinates had found out the situation.

But I didn’t expect that it would be such a bad start!

"Although Jiudingzi was lucky enough to discover this rare dragon-killing land, he didn't make much use of it..."

"They forcibly dug up the Dragon Subduing Wood, paying no attention to the immature sapling that branched out from it. When they dug up the tree, they directly damaged its roots, severing its vitality!"

As he analyzed calmly, a hint of murderous intent appeared in Li Ye's eyes.

If I had known this, I would have killed Jiudingzi with one blow that day, which would have been too easy for him!
To be a land of dragon evil, one must have at least a third-level monster or enough monsters with dragon blood buried here, which will be combined with the evil energy of the land to have a slight chance of success.

In the evolution of such an environment, if the spiritual wood can survive, it will gradually be distorted by the dragon evil and evolve into the dragon-subduing wood when the land of dragon evil is formed.

Its rank can be determined by looking at the rank of the original spiritual wood and the concentration of the dragon evil energy in the place.

Although this place only produces the most basic third-level Dragon Subduing Wood, it is also of great value!
But for cultivators, the dragon's evil energy cannot even be taken away from this place without special secret methods or containers.

And except for some monks who practice powerful methods of refining evil, no one can refine it for their own use, otherwise it will only backfire on themselves and cause mutations in flesh and blood magic power.

Jiudingzi had no corresponding means of utilization, so he exhausted all the fish in the pond and left no tree species. He also ignored the environment here and only made records.

Now that it is ruined, there is no other possibility. Li Ye can only look at this barren land. His spiritual plant skills are useless!
A very rare and precious spiritual plant that is very likely to give special entries has lost the opportunity to enter the mobile phone.

How could he not be filled with murderous intent?
"You don't even understand sustainable development. You, a fake Dan, have no future in cultivation, yet you wantonly destroy these spiritual creatures that require time to cultivate... You really deserve to die!"

Li Ye cursed a few words.

Fortunately, he also brought the guy's corpse back to use as fertilizer for the Sky World Tree. It is still being digested, and in the end there will be no trace left.

This can be considered as grinding the bones and scattering the ashes, otherwise he would really feel uncomfortable swallowing this anger.

But he still didn't plan to give up.

"The Dragon Subduing Wood can only form if the spiritual wood evolves with the environment here. Logically speaking, even if I plant the spiritual wood now, it will not be possible to transform it into the Dragon Subduing Wood..."

"But I have the [Adapt] and [Absorb] entries, as well as many other entries. The growth state of spiritual plants is different from that of ordinary spiritual plants. It may not be impossible to give it a try!"

Li Ye acted quickly, taking out several different second-level spiritual trees, and planted them one by one with the help of the Green Wood Divine Light and the Wood God True Fire.

All of these spiritual trees are of the wood or earth type, and their biggest special feature is that they are all types with strong vitality.

In such cases, you may be able to endure it longer so that the effect of the entry can last longer.

[You planted the [Bihua Tree] with excellent technique...]
[Your technique is excellent...]
[......]
As the tree species quickly took root with the help of the Qingmu Divine Light, prompts popped up from the panel. Li Ye watched silently and continued to observe the status of the tree species.

The erosion of the dragon's evil energy in this place is quite significant. Even if the tree species survive, they will be affected when they instinctively absorb nutrients from the surrounding environment.

Various abnormal conditions appeared one after another, and they seemed to be withering.

But the seedlings chosen by Li Ye and the blessing of the entries did not disappoint him.

Even with such difficulties, these tree species managed to maintain their vitality and temporarily stabilized in a half-dead state.

One or two strains even began to show signs of slight adaptation, and their condition was slightly better.

With this first step accomplished, he began to take out various array tools and set up a formation around the Dragon Evil Land. The inner layer helped the spiritual plants survive and grow, while the outer layer provided concealment and protection. The evil spirit was also a form of heavenly power, and the formation could be maintained long-term by leveraging the Dragon Evil energy of this land.

It is enough to resist most of the covetousness of the foundation building.

"It's just a casual move. If it works, it would be great. It would also help me understand the application of terms more clearly..."

"Just come and see it every once in a while. Now it's time to go to the places where other third-level spiritual plants are found!"

Li Ye murmured.

Even a spiritual plant like the Dragon Subduing Wood, whose value far exceeds its own rank, can be exploited by Jiudingzi. It is hard to say how he will deal with other third-rank spiritual plants.

In fact, he no longer has much hope in his heart. He just wants to find out everything as soon as possible, so as not to be disgusted by this guy too many times and unable to help but pull him out from under the Sky Realm Tree and whip his corpse!
Thinking in his mind, Li Ye released the flying boat and suddenly took off into the air.

………………

"You can go back on your own. I'll go in and take a look."

Li Ye casually threw a bottle of pills to the Qi training deacon on duty here and gave some instructions lightly.

At this moment, his expression no longer showed much joy or anger, and looking at the dark cave in front of him, he no longer had much expectation.

This place is the last place where a third-level spiritual plant was discovered according to the intelligence records left by Jiudingzi.

He has been to all the places ahead.

With the beginning of the Dragon Subduing Wood, his ominous premonition was indeed fulfilled.

There were only five locations in total. After exploring them one by one, he finally found the only third-level spiritual plant seedling called the Hanyang Pear Tree.

And its condition was extremely bad. If it weren't for the special environment there and the absence of other spiritual plants competing for the spiritual energy, the seedlings that seemed to have grown later would have been able to maintain their vitality. Otherwise, they would have died long ago!

In other places, there were either no traces of spiritual plants, or only some dead branches left, making it impossible to start.

If it weren't for the fact that although the Hanyang pear tree is a little difficult to grow, the fruits it produces are quite useful and have a miraculous effect in replenishing vital energy, it would be considered a pretty good harvest.

I'm afraid Li Ye really can't help it and will go back to whip Jiudingzi's corpse first!

"Thank you for the reward, Mountain Master!"

Amidst the deacon's profuse thanks, Li Ye walked into the cave with a purple spiritual light flowing around his body.

"Ok?"

There seemed to be a gleam of light in Li Ye's eyes, and his spiritual sense immediately understood the situation deep inside the cave.

"This place has an additional formation set up. The previous places didn't have this treatment..."

He was a little surprised, and at the same time, his interest emerged.

"Could it be that there really are third-level spiritual plants left here?"

Li Ye's thoughts raced, but his steps didn't stop.

It is impossible to stop him with just the formation here, and its nature is only protective. If there is a problem inside, there is no way to cover it up.

He wanted to see what kind of spiritual plant could make Jiudingzi, with his personality, take such good care of it.

　I had a stomach upset after dinner and I squirted all night. I'll update two more chapters first and go downstairs to buy some medicine... Others have diarrhea on Valentine's Day, but I have diarrhea. It's really hard to hold it in.
