Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 28: Introduction to Fudan, looking to buy a furnace! (Please read on!)

You successfully cultivated and revitalized the Rank 0.5 Spiritual Plant [Sunflower] using ordinary methods. Experience +...
Li Ye assisted Elder Ji in planting the last sunflower seedling. In response to his praise, Li Ye bowed to express his gratitude and then said goodbye and left.

"Junior Brother Li is truly calm..."

Yao Shaohui, who was still busy working in the fields, couldn't help but sigh as he watched Li Ye leaving.

Having only been in this spiritual field for a few days, he was still feeling uneasy. Even though he had almost finished the work in the spiritual field today, he did not dare to leave easily.

At this moment, he is still observing the field carefully, fearing that something might go wrong.

Not only will you not be able to seize the opportunity, but you will also damage the elders' precious spiritual plants and be scolded and punished.

That would mean losing both the wife and the army!

But Li Ye was fully committed to taking care of the spiritual plants. Once the task at hand was done, he left without much reluctance.

This kind of behavior probably shows not only calmness, but more of confidence in one's own skills!

But who says he really has this ability?
In the past two days, the three of them have done some discussions on the art of spiritual plants.

Although he and Gu Daojin were the only ones who had actually stayed in the spiritual medicine garden and even participated in the care of some second-level spiritual plants.

But in front of Li Ye, they did not show much of the demeanor of their predecessors.

The three of them said they were discussing something, but most of the time it was just him and Gu Daojin listening to Li Ye's instructions.

This junior fellow who has only been farming for half a year not only has a profound understanding of the cultivation of spiritual plants, but also has an understanding of many pharmacological changes. Based on this, he has a different idea about the care of spiritual medicines.

It was so close to teaching, but the other party not only did not seek any benefits, but did not even show the slightest arrogance.

Such bearing and skills are truly extraordinary!

What happened in the past few days was still fresh in his mind, but Yao Shaohui didn't know how many times he had felt grateful in his heart that he had decisively chosen to apologize to Li Ye and make peace with him.

…………

"All the spiritual plants have been planted. They only need to be carefully cared for. The first round of experience points has been harvested, so we can consider further upgrades..."

After returning to his residence, Li Ye opened the panel.

[Name: Li Ye]

[Spiritual Roots: Low-grade Earth and Wood Spiritual Roots]

[Remaining lifespan: 73 years (overdrawing vitality reduces lifespan by 3 years)]

【技能：种植一阶上等（193/3000）、丹药未入门（1878/2000）、炼器未入门（12/2000）、符箓未入门（1387/1500）】

[Plant Spiritual Essence: Green Bud Spiritual Essence*227]

[Spiritual Entry: Vitality Level 1]

【Experience: 2125】

……

Planting one acre of Xuelimi plum leaves will give 2000 experience points.

One acre of spiritual field can only grow about a thousand sunflowers, and there are actually not many left in the two and a half acres of land allocated to Li Ye.

Even if all survived, they only gave 125 experience points...

It’s really pitifully little!
But Li Ye was not in a hurry.

Compared to spiritual rice, the growth cycle of these spiritual plants is longer, and the number of feedbacks they can provide during their growth process is likely to be far greater than that of spiritual rice.

Considering that the amount of experience points given by the spiritual rice doubles after it matures, Li Ye even suspects that the experience points given by these spiritual plants will also increase with age.

It is likely to be a long-term return type.

Moreover, compared to experience points, the spiritual essence of plants that can be given by these spiritual plants with lower planting density but much higher value is what Li Ye values more.

"Wait...if elixirs really give more feedback as they age, then why shouldn't I just plant trees?"

"Trees are more resilient. As long as there's no severe external damage and the environment is suitable, they can almost continue to grow..."

"If I can plant a spiritual root with high enough potential, or plant forests all over the world, wouldn't I be able to regularly harvest experience points and plant spiritual essence just by lying in bed every day?" Li Ye touched his chin, his eyes filled with eagerness.

Although everything still needs to be verified by the feedback from the Sun Flower, the idea of finding a spiritual root seed or seedling and planting it with his own hands is still deeply rooted in Li Ye's heart.

Li Ye has also figured out how to use these experience points.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Li Ye immediately raised his proficiency in the two skills of talismans and elixirs to the maximum!

As the spiritual light emerged, the problem that had troubled Li Ye's mana node stability was instantly answered, and he also understood many fire control techniques and timing.

When he came to his senses again, he had already mastered the art of elixirs and talismans!

[Talisman Level 0 Lower Grade (2000/)]

[First-grade low-grade elixir (0/3000)]

He still had 1890 experience points left, so there was no need to use them right away. He could keep them as insurance to improve his planting skills at any time to deal with any unexpected situations at the elders' spiritual fields.

"The talisman pen is still usable, but I need to get the alchemy furnace..."

Li Ye murmured, suddenly feeling both amused and annoyed.
"I haven't even tried a single pill yet, but I've already entered the Dao of Alchemy. Am I considered a master of talking nonsense?"

However, it was already late, and if he went to the market again and back it would probably be dark, not to mention purchasing a valuable item like the alchemy furnace, which would easily attract others' covetousness.

It would be safer to go earlier tomorrow.

The improvement just now has made Li Ye's soul excited and active, and he is in perfect condition now.

Since he was not planning to go out, he went straight down to the basement and came to the talisman-making room.

After carefully preparing the talisman ink, Li Ye spread out a piece of talisman paper, concentrated his mind, picked up the talisman pen, dipped it in ink, and started writing immediately.

The first stroke was still a little hesitant and awkward, but as he drew stroke after stroke, the nodes of magic power condensed and his movements became more and more skillful.

Until the last node was drawn, there was no node instability!
With care and meticulousness, a rejuvenation talisman is completed!

Picking up the talisman paper, Li Ye looked at the talisman in his hand, admired it for a moment, and then put it aside.

Without stopping, he immediately started drawing the next piece of talisman paper.

Time passes little by little.

Li Ye's movements went from being cautious and careful to being swift and vigorous. Some of the talismans in front of him turned to ashes, while others were completed smoothly.

When the two dozen talisman papers he had purchased were used up, six more fireball talismans and cold breath talismans appeared in the box beside him.

Including the rejuvenation talisman, there are thirteen finished products in total.

"At my lower level, I'm still unable to draw talismans with a continuous effect like the Golden Bell Talisman. However, the success rate of drawing low-level talismans is around 50%, so after deducting the cost, I can still make a small profit..."

Li Ye smiled as he pondered.
"But it's really boring to earn such a small amount of money. Alchemy is still more profitable!"

Now that he had learned the art of alchemy, he no longer had any thoughts of making a profit by selling talismans.

Compared to alchemy, talismans can be a means for him to improve his combat power.

Even at a low level, the types of talismans can already cover various combat needs.

If you throw it out without hesitation, you can catch the enemy off guard and overwhelm them with magic.

When you reach a high level, you will have tools like the Breaking Ban Talisman and the Teleporting Talisman, which can break through the restrictions of the formation and travel hundreds of miles in an instant.

For Li Ye, whose martial arts skills are now incomplete and he has no supporting means, it is indeed a good supplement.

……

Day two.

He had taken care of the elders' spiritual fields early on, and discussed it with Yao and Gu.

Li Ye took all the spirit stones and placed several talismans he had purchased earlier and drawn yesterday close to his body, then left the sect and headed towards the market.
