Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 292 Five Spiritual Plants
"Although only third-level entries are effective for me, I can also use second-level spiritual plants to test out some entries that I haven't collected yet, and then find higher-level spiritual plants based on their characteristics..."

"And after years of farming, there's always a chance of triggering an entry... If it's [Tongtian], I can immediately get another third-tier spiritual plant to continue brushing more entry blessings!"

"If it's a Wood Spirit, maybe I can try to cultivate it to advance, forcibly giving birth to a corresponding third-level spiritual plant, which can also brush up the entry..."

"If I could get more surprises like this, perhaps by the time I finish farming, the improvement I can achieve will far exceed my current expectations!"

Of course, Li Ye only has some expectations for such things that are related to luck. Since he has a long enough life span, it is okay to set some long-term goals and expectations.

To be honest, his purpose of personally cultivating the second-level spiritual field was more pragmatic.

"Although I no longer need the spiritual essence of plants and trees produced by second-level spiritual plants, for the newly refined Wood God Cauldron, a sufficient amount of spiritual essence still has excellent ritual effects..."

"These second-level spiritual plants were planted to increase the power of the Wood God Cauldron!"

There was a thoughtful glint in Li Ye's eyes.

For him, compared to his natal magic weapon, his own cultivation is naturally the most important.

After reaching the Golden Core stage, it becomes more difficult to make progress in cultivation. Without sufficient opportunities, it would be harder than ascending to heaven to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage within a lifespan of 500 years.

Even though Li Ye's life span would be endless as long as the Sky Realm Tree existed, he still put cultivation first in his heart.

He would certainly not consume his mana specifically to refine magic weapons, which would slow down his progress in cultivation.

Even the natal puppet refined by the Tiangong Sutra is successful because the two sides complement and promote each other, so he can refine it with peace of mind.

The fact that the Wood God Cauldron only needed to absorb the essence of plants and trees to increase its power was in line with his temperament.

Even the spiritual essence of plants and trees gained from farming did not require him to specially refine and consume it as recorded in the Wood God Technique to extract the essence for absorption by the Wood God Cauldron. This was much more convenient.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen this tripod as his natal magic weapon!
"As long as there is enough spiritual essence from plants and trees, I don't even need to expend any effort to cultivate this cauldron. I can refine it all the way to the peak of the third level... Such a good thing is simply unimaginable for other cultivators!"

"If I could deduce it with my magical power, I might need to borrow some of the power of the Wood God Cauldron to achieve the best effect..."

Li Ye muttered something and walked straight towards the third-level spiritual field.

Pingyang Mountain has expanded greatly, and its spiritual veins have been promoted. Even with the guidance of formations, the land will become spiritual from time to time and can be cultivated into spiritual fields.

Even now, people in various places in the mountains are still combing the fields for the spiritual farmers below.

The growth cycle of a second-level spiritual medicine is not too long for Li Ye now.

There is no need to rush.

However, it is not easy to keep the five third-level spiritual plants in his collection alive, so the sooner he plants them in the ground, the more at ease he will be.

The third-level spiritual fields in the mountains were cultivated by Li Ye himself. In the blue sky tree sea formation, there are also auxiliary formations nested to simulate the growth needs of those third-level spiritual plants.

Despite the blessing of terms such as [Adapt] and [Absorb], these fragile spiritual plants still need to be carefully cared for at the beginning.

Striding into a spiritual field, Li Ye looked at the green soil with a hint of cultivation and the light green spiritual energy hanging down from it, and felt delighted in his heart.

The ring on his hand flickered, and five jade boxes flew out and hung in the air.

When Li Ye opened one of them, two slightly withered but still beautiful spiritual flowers flew out.

Its branches and leaves are light purple, and the color of the flowers gradually spreads from the stamens in the middle from white to green, flowing continuously, which has a bit of the beauty of spring.

This spiritual plant, the Spring Se Flower, is a wood-type spiritual plant with mild medicinal properties and a spring-like vitality. In Li Ye's eyes, it is the most suitable main ingredient for the elixir he needs for cultivation. The spiritual energy and earth power here do not need to be adjusted; the formation environment is the most suitable for the growth of this flower.

Although Li Ye looked cautious, his actions were decisive.

Summon the Green Wood Divine Light and directly merge it into the flower, stimulating its vitality bit by bit.

As the branches and leaves of the flower stretched out and the root system showed some activity, he used his divine light to roll the flower seed into the soil.

Then, a spring breeze turned into rain in the air, and the pure wood energy accumulated in the blue sky rolled up, and the spiritual rain fell gently, watering the flower, making it full of vitality and taking root in the ground.

[......]
[You skillfully planted the third-tier spiritual plant [Spring Flower], maximizing its vitality. Experience +10...]
When the information on the eye panel appeared, a smile appeared on Li Ye's face.

With his intermediate third-level planting skills, it was naturally not a problem to cultivate this flower, but with the cooperation of Qingmu Divine Light and the great formation, he could save a lot of methods, thus making it much more convenient.

After planting another plant in the same way, Li Ye saw the feedback from the panel and stood up with confidence and walked towards the spiritual field next to him.

The land here is yellow with a hint of gold, and has a unique hardness. The spiritual plant planted here is called the Gangji Fruit Tree.

Its nature is hard and tough, and one tree produces only one spiritual fruit. In addition to being used by physical cultivators to strengthen their physiques, it is also mostly used to assist in refining equipment due to its characteristics.

It is naturally useful to Li Ye. In fact, the power of this method can only be truly demonstrated when the content of the Ten Thousand Beasts Body reaches the Golden Elixir level.

He would naturally not give up on body training.

Planting fruit trees, Li Ye kept working.

Or you can plant sickle-shaped, sharp-toothed flowers among the blood and flesh, which can also be used to refine tools or talisman paper.

Or you can plant half a bamboo stump in the center of an open area, and wait for it to absorb nutrients, expand its root system, and grow into a bamboo that reaches the clouds.

This Chongyun Bamboo is extremely practical. Whether it is the fruit, bamboo leaves or the bamboo itself, it can be used. Its growth rate is slightly faster than other spiritual plants of the same level. Perhaps it will be the first to feedback a complete entry.

Or, in a specially dug underground spiritual field, you can plant the flesh-bone hand ganoderma, which is shaped like a fat human hand and is most suitable for refining healing medicines.

[......]
[You skillfully planted the third-tier spiritual plant [Flesh and Bone Hand Ganoderma], maximizing its vitality. Experience +10...]
As the last of the fleshy and bone-fed ganoderma was planted, the panel information appeared, and Li Ye's eyes were filled with satisfaction.

"It really feels different to plant a new spiritual plant..."

He murmured.

Every spiritual plant planted today represents a different possibility.

Spring flowers, Gangji fruit trees, biophilic flowers, Chongyun bamboo, fleshy hand ganoderma...

Five kinds of spiritual plants with different properties have been properly planted.

Although the amount is not large, it can be used to support Li Ye's current attainments in Qingmu Divine Light and Mushen True Fire.

Once their vitality is stable, you can gradually start to try dividing the plants and plant them all over the field!

When Li Ye thought about the harvest, the spiritual medicine itself, the spiritual essence and entries, as well as the experience points that would be rewarded, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy and expectant.

It has almost become an instinct!
Perhaps even if he ascends to the great road in the future, he may not be able to forget it.
