Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 257 Dragon Horse Chariot
"Little Jiao, I'm here as promised..."

The black dragon turned into the size of a small snake. Even though its appearance did not change, it was still ferocious and majestic, but at this time it couldn't help but appear a bit delicate and cute.

Especially the way he forced a smile in a very human way and raised his paws to salute, which was completely different from his previous murderous aura.

Hong Yao, who had not yet left, couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene, but she quickly restrained her expression and quickly retreated.

Although the black dragon could sense the woman's movements, he didn't take it seriously and just forced a smile and said:
"During the previous battle, I saw that Master Li didn't seem to be traveling in a chariot..."

"It just so happens that we in Qiandao Water City are quite proficient in the art of taming beasts. This time, we specially brought a chariot with us, pulled by two second-level dragon horses, and parked it in the mountains..."

"This is the blood covenant token of the two dragon horses. Please accept it, Master Li..."

Li Ye was slightly surprised. He took the token sent by the black dragon and easily refined it with his magic power.

Then he smiled at the black dragon and said:
"You are so thoughtful for such a great gift."

"If you have any questions, just ask!"

"This small gift is not enough to show my respect. Master Li, please enjoy it as you please. If the dragon horse disobeys your command, please send a message to Qiandao Water City, and we will definitely take care of it for you!"

Seeing that Li Ye was satisfied, Hei Jiao said something nice, then he spoke carefully.
"Little Jiao has a doubt in his heart, and I hope Master Li can help me solve it..."

"Just ask."

Seeing that Li Ye's attitude had not changed, the Black Dragon asked:
"During the previous battle, the water bead magic weapon controlled by your puppet, Master Li, seemed familiar to the little dragon. I wonder where it came from..."

In fact, it is more than that.

The puppet he had seen earlier had a small golden tripod embedded in its chest, in addition to the black water bead...

That thing was clearly the Nine Light Cauldron, the inherited magic weapon of the Nine Cauldron Valley, and now it had fallen into Li Ye's hands.

From this point of view, it was clearly Li Ye who picked the peaches from Qiandao Water City!
You've already taken advantage of me so much, yet you're still so ruthless in the Golden Core Hall. You're truly...

The thought turned over in Hei Jiao's mind, but he didn't dare to think further.

He knew very well why Li Ye didn't care about showing such means in front of him.

It's just that this little black dragon is very weak and is no match for it at all. If it refuses to submit, he can kill it with just a wave of his hand. There is no need to worry too much!

If this matter did not concern the final whereabouts of the old master, the Black Dragon, who already had an instinctive fear of Li Ye, would not even dare to bring it up in front of Li Ye.

"No need to beat around the bush..."

Li Ye smiled and said directly: "That is Bihu Sanren's life-saving magic weapon, the Black Water Pearl."

"This……"

Seeing Li Ye's frankness, Black Dragon was no longer so cautious and said seriously:

"Then I would like to ask Master Li to enlighten me, Little Jiao, as to how my master died."

As he spoke, he stared at Li Ye, waiting for his answer.

This question is actually quite risky.

If the death of Bihu Sanren is really related to Li Ye, I am afraid that the Black Dragon may not be able to leave this hall today!
However, he only saw Li Ye said calmly:
"Senior Bihu came quietly to the Red Mountains and entered the lava underground palace alone. He set up a trap for me, and I became interested..."

"But after several months, there seemed to be slight movements in the lava underground palace, but I didn't see Senior Bihu emerge from any of the caves. I went down to investigate and soon found his body in a dilapidated building!"

"I think there are other hidden dangers in the lava underground palace, enough to cause the golden elixir to perish..."

Li Ye did not say anything else, but Hei Jiao understood. He felt a little sad for a moment.

"The old master loved water his whole life, but he ultimately died in that blazing, poisonous place... If he had known this would happen, he would have peacefully passed away on the island in the middle of the lake!"

"Faced with their lifespan running out and death approaching, few cultivators can remain calm. A last-ditch effort is not a waste of a lifetime of practice."

Li Ye shook his head, sighing a bit, then changed the subject and said calmly:

"Afterwards, I buried Senior Bihu's body in a beautiful place with clear water and mountains. If you wish to move it back to Qiandao Water City, you can go and find it yourself..."

As soon as he thought about it, a magical power wrapped around his divine consciousness and carrying simple information flew towards the black dragon.

After receiving this information, Black Dragon immediately breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Bihu Sanren raised him from a black water carp all the way to the third-order black dragon level. Both the affection and kindness were as heavy as Mount Tai to this early-awakened demon beast.

If not for this, considering the losses he had suffered at the hands of Li Ye, he probably wouldn't dare to ask even a single question.

Regardless of whether what Li Ye said was true or false, it was always a good thing to be able to bring back the old master's body.

But in his heart, he was more inclined to believe that Li Ye had not deceived him.

Otherwise, if he really did it, I'm afraid the old master's body would be taken away for his use like bones and flying feathers. How could there be such an unnecessary thing as burial?
I couldn't help but feel a little grateful.

"The reason I took action that day was partly due to the kindness left by Senior Bihu. Since then, Qiandao Water City and I have been even..."

"You guys take care of yourselves... All that has happened before is now over. If you provoke me again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Black Flood Dragon received this information and was still immersed in it, but he shuddered when he heard this.
"I don't dare! Master Li, your magical powers are no less powerful than those of the Golden Core Elders from the Yuanying Sects outside the mountain!"

"Everyone in Qiandao Water City admires you deeply and is willing to serve you as the leader of the four nations' cultivation world. How could you do such a foolish thing?"

"That's good..."

Li Ye nodded, and was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed slightly, and then he regained his composure.
"If you have anything else to do, go ahead. I still have some things to take care of."

Black Dragon was not sure what Li Ye was doing, and he knew what was going on.

He immediately said:

"Thank you, Master Li, for collecting the body of our old master... I won't bother you any longer, little dragon. I'll take my leave now!"

"It's just a little effort."

Li Ye said calmly, the black dragon arched its claws again, then flicked its tail and left immediately.

"Jiaoma..."

Li Ye stood up with a slightly strange expression.
"Could it be that, like those black water carp, they were also created by this black dragon himself?"

But this is not the time to go and see the dragon-drawn carriage.

He waved his long sleeves, and the power of the void in the formation fell down, immediately moving him to the center of the formation on the top of the mountain.

As soon as he arrived, he felt the extremely rich wood spiritual power and the faint vitality mixed in it within the constraints of this formation.

All the surrounding plants and trees benefit from it, growing rapidly and accumulating strength.

Looking around, the branches of the tree in the center of the sky world swayed and stretched, and the aura continued to rise. There were traces of blood being drawn out from under the roots, which then turned into nutrients, pushing it to continue climbing.

It's clear that promotion is imminent!
