Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 26: Sunflower (Please read!)

As soon as Elder Ji said this, everyone including Li Ye started breathing a little heavier.

Second-level spiritual plant!

Even though he failed to gain the elder's favor this time, he stayed to take care of the spiritual field for him.

Just being able to assist the other party in planting and caring for the sunflower for a period of time would be enough to reap considerable rewards.

For the four of them, this will greatly help them break through to the second level of their spiritual plant technique!

Li Ye will have the opportunity to harvest the corresponding spiritual essence of plants and trees in this process.

This is also quite tempting for him!
Looking at the four disciples with burning eyes, Ji Qing asked,

"Which of you four will go first? I'll allow the rest of you to watch!"

Can you still watch?

Yao Shaohui and Gu Daojin, who were eager to try, looked at each other and immediately restrained themselves.

It's not that they haven't come into contact with second-level spiritual medicines, but they have only learned about the Sunflower and have never prepared it themselves.

If you start right away, there will inevitably be omissions.

But by observing, you can always learn some details, and then you can perform better when you take action. Isn't this more stable?

While they were hesitating for a moment, Xiong Yinxiu saluted Elder Ji and said confidently,
"Elder, I have some experience in caring for spiritual plants like flowers... I'd like to plant the Fiery Sunflower first!"

"Then it's up to you!"

Elder Ji didn't care and turned around and went to the second-level spiritual field on the top of the mountain.

The spiritual field here is covered by an additional formation. Although the level is not high, it can lock a certain amount of spiritual energy to make the spiritual field more abundant.

The closer you get, the thicker the spiritual energy becomes.

Until you are in the spiritual field, you have completely reached the second level!
Being in the situation, even though they were prepared, Yao, Gu and Xiong's faces turned red, and they looked like they were barely holding on.

Although Li Ye's face was flushed, he was in much better condition than them.

"Hmph! If you want to watch, it depends on how long you can hold out in this spiritual energy..."

"If you can't even make it through this, even if I'm willing to hand this spiritual farm over to you, you won't be able to take care of it!"

Elder Ji looked at their miserable state, but he was too lazy to help them as he did yesterday. Instead, he looked at Li Ye.

"Why don't you come first? Don't let them ruin my precious seedlings in this state..."

"Elder, I've adapted!"

It would have been fine if Li Ye wasn't mentioned, but as soon as Elder Ji mentioned replacing someone, Xiong Yinxiu's expression immediately changed and he forcibly controlled his magic power.

Even if he had to suppress his magical powers and suffer internal injuries, he was unwilling to give up the idea of impressing the elders with his first move?
Li Ye watched silently, sneering in his heart.

Ever since he was hit by the spiritual energy yesterday, he had anticipated the situation in the spiritual field and had already decided that even if he couldn't watch, he wouldn't rush to participate.

Anyway, everyone has a chance. If you really have the ability, no one can stop you from showing it. What's the point of arguing about who comes first?
It is better to adapt to the environment here first than to rush for quick success. Otherwise, if you try to persist by forcing yourself and causing internal injuries due to misdirected magic power, it will not be worth it!

Elder Ji didn't say much, but just took out a jade box, which contained a lot of scattered rhizome seedlings.

Carefully picking up one, he cast a spell to stimulate its vitality, saying,

"Although this Fiery Sun Flower is much better than those delicate spiritual herbs, it still has many taboos. Listen carefully, if anyone breaks any of them, you will be fired immediately..."

Everyone was awestruck and listened more attentively.

After all, since it involved his own property, Elder Ji did not keep it for himself. He explained in detail while planting the seedlings.

"Also, the Fiery Sunflower belongs to the Fire and Yang elements. When watering it, be sure to remember the amount of water and the right technique. Don't spoil the spiritual energy of the spiritual field..."

After discussing the details of subsequent care and cultivation, and taking care of the seedling, he looked at Xiong Yinxiu and said, "Xiong, come and give me a hand!"

"Yes!"

Xiong Yinxiu suppressed her excitement and quickly squatted down.

She seemed to be already familiar with it. Even though she had only watched the demonstration once, she was able to assist in the planting quite well.

The action was correct, without any mistakes.

This saved Elder Ji from some embarrassment and made him much faster than before.

He was very satisfied.
"Not bad! You have such skill, but you haven't boasted about it for nothing!"

"It's all due to the elders' detailed instructions."

Xiong Yinxiu immediately replied with a smile, and secretly glanced at Li Ye and others, as if he was sure of victory.

Yao and Gu were secretly angry but helpless.

Even though they had just witnessed the whole process, some things could not be immediately restored and done after just seeing them.

Although the art of spiritual plants is the most basic of the hundred arts of cultivation, it is still somewhat profound and requires careful understanding and mastery.

For a while, the two of them could only feel ashamed of themselves!
But Li Ye's expression did not change at all, as if everything was normal.

Xiong Yinxiu was even more unhappy when he saw this.

"Hmph! Pretending! Even if you have some background, the care methods for second-level spiritual plants will not be easily passed down even by foundation-building families... This scorching sun flower must be the stepping stone for me to advance!"

"When the elders fire you three for failing to take good care of the family, I wonder if you'll still be able to smile!"

After planting a few more seedlings, Elder Ji's face became more and more satisfied.

Xiong Yinxiu's performance undoubtedly meets his needs.

As a person who has established his foundation, although the demand for blood rice is not small, he does not care about the difference of several dozen kilograms in the final output grown by different people.

But as a second-level spiritual plant, the Sunflower is quite precious. He would feel sad even if one was missing.

Xiong Yinxiu seems to be good at cooking blood rice and is also familiar with the care of the sunflower, so the probability of making mistakes is quite small.

We can rest assured that she will take care of the spiritual field.

Seeing this situation, Yao and Gu's expressions became more and more ugly.

Just at this moment, Elder Ji suddenly stood up and stopped Xiong Yinxiu, and walked towards another area.

"Brother Xiong, please take a rest for now. Let the next one try."

In order to be fair, he even divided the acre of spiritual field into four areas using a formation for subsequent observation.

Judging from these performances, Li Ye had to say that Elder Ji was quite good in treating these low-level disciples!
Being given such fair treatment during the competition, no matter who stays in the end, they will probably do their best to take care of the spiritual field for him without any slacking off.

Xiong Yinxiu didn't dare say much about the elders' decision.

She responded obediently, but her eyes glanced at Li Ye and the others.

The contempt in her expression was almost undisguised, as if she didn't think they could surpass her in this regard!
Madness!

I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth...

Yao Shaohui and Gu Daojin glared back angrily, but they felt uneasy in their hearts. Without responding to Elder Ji, they subconsciously looked at Li Ye.

"After the elder's demonstration and teaching just now, I have gained some understanding..."

Li Ye smiled faintly, ignored Xiong Yinxiu, and strode after Elder Ji.
"Please wait a moment, my two senior brothers. Let me assist the elder in cultivating this scorching sunflower!"
