Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 236 Blood Sacrifice Talisman

He was the first person to discover the arrival of the golden elixir and has always kept an eye on it.

Although Li Ye was suspicious, it did not affect him.

The process of killing demons and performing blood sacrifices never stopped. Now he had five more quasi-third-level forbidden-breaking talismans achieved through blood sacrifices, and he had a total of seven talismans.

There is another one that is also being upgraded. All that is left is to kill one or two more monsters to complete the final upgrade, bringing the total number to eight.

Such an amount is enough to return to Pingyang Mountain and try to open the suspected secret chamber!
"Besides, due to the stimulation from that golden elixir, the demon beasts in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range have become more vigilant. After killing so many of them in recent days, many demon beast tribes have begun to consciously patrol and guard."

"If we keep going like this, we might actually get caught... huh?"

Li Ye was thinking secretly, and suddenly turned his head to look into the distance.

The chariot that flew over Li Ye's head a few months ago appeared again.

This time it entered the Wanshou Mountains from another direction, which was quite far away from Li Ye, and only its general outline could be seen.

But thanks to the very close contact at the time, he recognized the chariot at a glance.

This time, although the Jindan cultivator on the carriage was still covered in mysterious light, his aura was greatly restrained. He was no longer as powerful as when he broke out of the mountain. His true energy and magic power were fierce.

Li Ye took a look from a distance, and without waiting to attract the attention of the golden elixir, he quickly retracted his gaze and just kept paying attention.

The Jindan driving the chariot not only did not notice him, but also did not care about the gaze of a foundation-building cultivator. Without slowing down at all, it flew straight into the depths of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"He's actually returned to the Myriad Beasts Mountains, even diving deep into them, almost intending to retrace his steps... Could it be that he's decided this place is too barren and is planning to return to the kingdoms beyond the mountains?"

Li Ye thought with a bit of sarcasm.

He was really confused as to why this strange Jindan came and went, and stayed in the Four Kingdoms cultivation world for less than three months, and even did not stir up any trouble from beginning to end.

Such speculation is just entertainment.

Before he reached the Golden Core stage, although he had some ways to deal with the Golden Core, he was still far from being able to understand and control their behavior.

"Hmm...according to the intelligence, it seems this person has traveled to all four countries, but now he's only stopping briefly before leaving...Could he be here to investigate something and report back later?"

Li Ye thought of another possibility.

If that's the case, why not send a Jindan cultivator to investigate? There doesn't seem to be anything worth doing in the cultivation world of these four countries, right?
Maybe the lava underground palace could be considered one? We'll have to ask and examine it after we get back.

The rest are ultimately just guesses based on a lack of information, and there is really no point in wasting time on them.

Li Ye suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind and shook his head.

"Never mind! This guy has returned to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range. Even if he's a bit more cautious than last time, I'm afraid he'll cause some trouble... Don't scare away another second-level monster. We have to deal with it as soon as possible!"

Putting the matter of this strange golden elixir aside for the moment, what really matters to Li Ye right now is to complete the blood sacrifice of the last talisman.

When he thought of this, he didn't dare to delay any longer. He immediately hid in the plants again, looking for his next hunting target.

………………

The upgrade of the last forbidden talisman was relatively smooth. Although the familiar pressure of the third-level monster came again shortly after the strange golden elixir entered the depths of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, Li Ye took action in time and he was ready to evacuate.

It didn't affect me much.

The appearance of this movement further explained to him that the strange golden elixir had crossed the mountains again this time, and it was most likely to return to the countries outside the mountains.

Later, when Li Ye left the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, the information he collected in the market town also roughly pointed to this possibility.

This situation is naturally a good thing for Li Ye.

He is on the verge of a breakthrough, and every fewer golden elixir in the four countries' cultivation world is better. This will mean fewer people who may interfere with his breakthrough, and it will be safer.

Without further delay, Li Ye rushed back to the red mountains.

"It's still the same as before. My arrangements have not been disturbed. There is nothing wrong..."

Sitting upright on the flying boat, Li Ye looked at the red land below, his eyes flashing slightly, and sensed and checked the means he had set up one by one.

"Hmm... The sealing formations of the various underground fire passages show no trace of a golden elixir passing through. It seems that the strange golden elixir has never been here!"

He felt a little relieved and looked at the Pingyang Mountain right in front of him. He raised his hand and cast a few spells. The passage opened and he fell straight to the top of the mountain.

Seeing Li Ye return, the Sky Realm Tree, sensing his presence, stretched out its branches and leaves, greeting him.

The Qingluo Wood Spirit jumped straight out of its body and landed in Li Ye's palm, hovering on his arm and rubbing against it affectionately.

As a spirit derived from plants, with the good environment here and Li Ye feeding it from time to time, the Qingluo Wood Spirit grows very fast.

Now it has broken through to the second level and has some combat power. The green snake body it has transformed into has also become much more slender and beautiful.

But his attitude towards Li Ye has always been intimate and lovely, and has never changed.

After feeding it some magic power, Li Ye meditated with the Sky Realm Tree for a while as a greeting, then came to the Hanyang Pear Tree and Yuanhua Fruit Tree.

"Hmm...there's nothing unusual. You've taken good care of them."

Li Ye was in a good mood and fed Qingluo Muling another dose of magic power.

After reaching the second stage, the Qingluo Wood Spirit not only improved its spirituality, but also possessed some innate abilities and was able to sense the conditions of plants and spiritual trees.

Although we cannot expect it to fight as a spiritual pet, it is quite adept at cooperating with the poisonous insect to take care of spiritual plants.

Although the Hanyang Pear Tree and Yuanhua Fruit Tree are third-level spiritual plants and are quite spiritual, they are still inferior to the Kongjie Tree and Qingluo Wood Spirit.

It was not until Li Ye approached and touched them that the two spirit trees showed some feedback through the panel connection.

[The third-level spiritual plant [Hanyang Pear Tree] that you are connected to has grown, its understanding has deepened, and its spiritual essence has solidified by +0.1%...]
[......]
[The third-level spiritual plant [Yuanhua Fruit Tree] that you are connected to has grown, its understanding has deepened, and its spiritual essence has solidified by +0.1%...]
[......]
After a long time, the spiritual feedback was given again. Li Ye felt the yin and yang changes of the Hanyang pear tree and the pure spiritual energy of the Yuanhua fruit tree. He was immersed in it for a moment, and the smile on his face became even wider.

"Although it's a bit slow, the feedback from the third-level spiritual plant is indeed not to be underestimated. It can give me new insights every time, which is of great benefit to my Taoist practice..."

"Even at this rate, relying on one fruit tree to slowly cultivate, it will take at least several decades to fully solidify... That will be after the Golden Core stage. I'm afraid that by then, the Sky Realm Tree will have successfully broken through to the third stage!"
