Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 287 Soul-stealing Method!
"Sir! You've come out of seclusion!"

Seeing Li Ye walking out of the palace with a smile on his face, Hong Yao couldn't help but show joy.

Looking at Li Ye's aura again at this time, although it was not as strong as it was more than three years ago, he almost looked like a different person.

But there is also something different about it, as if it is more calm and reserved, without revealing a single detail, and it is impossible to tell the depth of it at all.

It becomes even more mysterious.

However, this is just a minor benefit of the Wooden God Cauldron.

Using its void characteristics to suppress Dantian naturally helps Li Ye to seal off his magical energy, making it difficult for outsiders to see through his true intentions.

"After a period of seclusion, I finally got what I wanted. From now on, I won't be in seclusion for a long time..."

Li Ye smiled faintly and pinched Hongyao's pretty face.

This time, it took only about two hundred days to refine the Wood God Cauldron, his life-saving magic weapon, which was not considered too long in the eyes of a cultivator.

"But I still need to go out for a while. The spiritual vein of Pingyang Mountain is really a bit difficult for me..."

Li Ye said casually and waved his hand.

"Go prepare some snacks first, and then tell me about the developments of the four countries in recent years."

Hongyao nodded obediently and left immediately.

…………

After a brief feast and enjoyment, Li Ye set off on his dragon-drawn carriage and left Pingyang Mountain.

"Over the years, more and more female cultivators have been sent here from all over the place. Even though there are only a few left, they serve us with all kinds of skills and are quite considerate..."

Li Ye touched his chin, still feeling a little unsatisfied.

Having reached his position as the undisputed number one in the Four Kingdoms' world of immortal cultivation, naturally, people would provide him with the best food, clothing, daily necessities and entertainment.

Enjoy yourself a little while after practicing, and you will feel that your practice is finally worthwhile in this life.

With a change of thought, Li Ye's mind returned to the purpose of coming out of seclusion this time.

In the battle of the Demon Cave Secret Realm, those who died one after another included Zhan Xinrui from the countries in the southern border outside the mountain, Meihua, Jusha and the feminine Fengshui three Jindan demons, as well as Wuyuan who was obsessed with the power of the void and ended up dying because of it.

In addition to Zhan Xinrui, Li Ye also found a random place outside the secret realm of the magic cave to bury him because this person was not really his enemy.

If it were the demons like Wu Yuan, he would not be polite and would just leave their bodies to be used as puppets.

Li Ye had already looked through the belongings of these five people one by one in his free time over the years.

Zhan Xinrui had a rather extraordinary origin. Li Ye looked at the secret techniques and skills he left behind, as well as a lot of information about the countries outside the mountain and the sect he belonged to, and guessed that he was most likely from a Nascent Soul sect, and his status in the sect was definitely not low.

Otherwise, it would be really outrageous for a Jindan cultivator like him who has not even reached the middle stage of cultivation to be exposed to so many profound skills and secret intelligence!

This person rashly came to the Four Kingdoms' world of immortal cultivation and sneaked into the devil's cave to seek opportunities. It is unknown whether he explained this to his friends in the sect.

If he didn't return for a long time, it would arouse the suspicion of his friends in the sect and they would come here to look for him, which would be another trouble.

If it is not handled properly, it may easily trigger a chain reaction where the older ones will be harmed after the younger ones are beaten.

But this is a matter for the future and can be put aside for now.

However, some of the magical secrets collected by Zhan Xinrui really gave Li Ye some inspiration. Even if he didn't practice magic, there were some tricks he could use. Perhaps it would be of some help to him in exploring the lava underground palace.

What’s more important is that in the classics left by this person, Li Ye actually found the strange and distorted text and corresponding translation about the subsequent exercises of Qiannian Yanshen Jue.

Although they were just some fragmentary notes, they were of great help to Li Ye in deducing the martial arts!

Once everything is arranged properly, you can study slowly.

What really prompted him to make this trip were actually some methods left behind by Wu Yuan.

Unlike Meihua and the others, who were Jindan demons and were probably doing extremely poorly in the demon world, they didn't have many useful things left on them.

In Li Ye's opinion, Wu Yuan is a man of destiny.

Not only is he wealthy, he also has a large collection of various magical materials from the demon world, and he has many magical skills and sorcery.

The style was varied and mysterious, far surpassing the magic techniques he had previously acquired from different enemies.

Even Zhan Xinrui is far inferior to him.

But it is a bit regrettable that the secret ritual that Wu Yuan used to refine the Void Realm Tree could not refine the living Void Realm Tree into a natal spirit tree as Li Ye had imagined.

Its effectiveness relies more on the blood sacrifice of one's own essence and blood cultivation, constantly eroding high-level spiritual objects, and then refining them for one's own use across levels.

The consumption required is not small, and it often leads to a loss of the original source. If it is disturbed in the middle, it is easy to suffer backlash.

Limited by the fact that Li Ye had not practiced magic skills and had no demon bloodline, as well as many other restrictions, he was unable to try to use it.

But these methods still gave him some references and inspiration, which were of great use.

If we can find other ways to circumvent the limitations of this spell and ritual, or create a similar method based on this method, it may be of great help in the future!
Although Li Ye was unable to use this method for the time being, another method collected by Wu Yuan gave Li Ye a great surprise.

This method is called the Soul-Snatching Method.

It has the same origin as the method used by the demons to pollute the spiritual land and rebuild the land of demonic energy, but is applied in the opposite direction.

The demons use this method to condense some of the demonic energy in the demon world's spiritual veins, seal it and transfer it, and then inject it into the spiritual veins of this world with a large formation, and then they can gradually transform it.

In the demon world, the application of this method is to seize other people's territory, squeeze out the essence of the spiritual veins on their territory, and turn it into supplements to enhance one's own spiritual veins, so that it can continue to advance.

In this way, we can continue to expand our influence without dispersing our strength.

It can be said that he has achieved the ultimate in plundering!
Li Ye looked through some of Wu Yuan's notes and knew that this method was also effective on the spiritual veins in this world!

Since he has such a wonderful method, why should he give up Pingyang Mountain, which he has managed for many years and has already suited his taste?

Wouldn’t it be better to just seize the origin of other third-level spiritual veins to improve the spiritual vein of Pingyang Mountain?

However, this method requires the cooperation of the treasures of the void. Even in the Demon Realm, a relatively unstable realm that often collides with other worlds and produces more void treasures, not every force has the foundation to carry it out.

In the past, Wu Yuan relied on treasures like the Sky Realm Tree, so he had no shortage of these.

The origin of the secret realm that has been contaminated by the demonic energy can be directly refined, and using the sacrificed branches of the sky realm as a carrier, the spiritual veins in various places can be transferred to launch the demonization plan.

And now Li Ye also has the Wood God Cauldron, his life-saving magic weapon made from the essence of the Sky Realm Tree!
With the power of its own realm, it evolves the magic of a small space.

If you want to accomplish this, there will be no problem!
This is also the reason why Li Ye obtained Wu Yuan’s relics early on and did not set off until today.
