Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 317 The Troubles of Happiness

As the entry feedback was completed, the third-level spiritual plants in the five-acre spiritual field were almost mature, and the accumulated medicinal power was enough to be used for refining medicine.

Among them, spiritual plants such as Chongyun Bamboo and Life-Thirsty Flower, which have little practical use to Li Ye except for feedback entries, should be harvested one by one to make room for other spiritual plants.

"Spring Se Flower, Gangji Fruit, and Flesh and Bone Ganoderma are all useful for my cultivation. Even though the growth efficiency has almost doubled with the blessing of the entry, they are still young. It would be a waste to harvest them hastily... It's better to cultivate them for a few more years so that they can continue to produce spiritual essence for me. It won't be too late to harvest them again!"

Li Ye thought silently.

Although his aptitude is now close to the top in this world, and his life span has reached the realm of "immortality" where it only increases and never decreases, he has plenty of time to practice cultivation.

Even if you don't rely on external things and maintain your daily practice, you will be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage sooner or later.

But then again... who would complain that their cultivation progress is too fast?
Compared to the rush to obtain more entries, the stability of cultivation resources is more important!
Especially the Gangji Fruit and Rougu Shouzhi can help improve the physical strength. Combined with his current greatly different physical refining aptitude, they are even more indispensable. Who knows, they may help him achieve the fourth level of physical refining in a very short time!

As for other spiritual plants that are not required for cultivation, there is no need to be polite and they can be replaced directly.

When Li Ye raised his hand, a green divine light flashed, and it suddenly split into hundreds of rays that flew into the field, merging into each Chongyun bamboo with incredible precision, immediately sealing its spiritual energy and harvesting it intact.

Straight spiritual bamboos, each with a light green body and flowing cloud patterns, left the spiritual field in an orderly manner and fell into Li Ye's open storage bag.

After finishing the work on the fields here, he was also prepared to deal with the bloody biophilic flowers nearby in the same way.

However, compared to Chongyun Bamboo, the Life-Thirsty Flower has some of the instincts of living creatures. Once it senses something is wrong, its flowers and leaves suddenly wave like sharp blades, with a faint blood color appearing on them, which is quite evil.

If it really grows to a certain size, it might have considerable combat power. Cultivators below the Golden Core stage might be easily sucked into the flowers, chopped into pieces, and devoured by it.

But this spiritual plant was cultivated by Li Ye himself. Not to mention that it was already subject to many restrictions by him, it was difficult for any spiritual plant in the world to resist the Qingmu Divine Light!

However, Li Ye's eyes moved slightly when he looked at these flowers and he stopped.

"A third-level creature is so intelligent. It even dared to resist me slightly when it sensed danger. Its posture is almost like that of a demon beast. If I can stimulate the corresponding green spirit, I might be able to cultivate a group of ferocious creatures in the future to help me resist external enemies..."

"Harvesting them this way can only serve as materials for making talismans and refining weapons. Compared to their potential development benefits, it's better to keep them!"

As soon as this thought came to mind, the Qingmu Divine Light suddenly changed. Although it still fell into the many spiritual flowers, it helped to uproot them intact. Then the great formation mobilized the void and sent it to the vicinity of Pingyang Mountain.

"Compared to other spiritual plants, the Biophilic Flower has the instinct to devour other living beings for nutrients, so its demand for spiritual energy is relatively small. Furthermore, with the [Absorb] attribute adding to its ability to sustain itself, its ability is quite strong..."

"It can be released to the mountainside, slightly adjusted to match the formation, and fed with blood regularly!"

After making a new plan in his mind, Li Ye looked at the two acres of empty spiritual fields and shook his head.

"Only two acres is still too little... Fortunately, my previous prediction was correct. The spiritual veins here are deeply permeated. I only need to cultivate them a little more and I can reclaim another two acres of spiritual fields..."

"The number of first- and second-level spiritual fields in the mountains has also increased considerably, and they can be used again."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to plant all these spiritual plants!"

As the stall expanded, spiritual medicines in the second-level spiritual fields would occasionally trigger [Tongtian], and Li Ye had more and more channels to obtain third-level spiritual plants.

Now, the amount of spiritual fields can't keep up with the acquisition of spiritual medicines! Having said that, the smile on Li Ye's face did not diminish at all.

It doesn’t matter if there are more of these happy troubles!
"Hmm... I've just added some new fields. I'll plant those spiritual plants that are of no use to me other than trying to obtain entries in the second-level spiritual fields that can forcibly increase their rank..."

Li Ye cast spells one after another, rearranging the two acres of empty spiritual fields, and then covered them with a separate formation, gathering the earth's spiritual energy and dissipating the remaining aura of the spiritual plants originally planted there.

After everything was settled, he turned and left.

After harvesting the spiritual plants, the spiritual energy lost in the spiritual field also needs to be restored. The aura of the original spiritual plants will also have a certain repulsive effect on the newly planted spiritual plants, reducing their success rate in taking root and growing.

All of this will take some time.

But fortunately, with the help of planting techniques and large formations, it won’t take too long.

During this period, Li Ye can also open up new third-level spiritual fields, and re-plan the second-level spiritual fields and make other improvements.

………………

As the third-level and second-level spiritual fields are all harvested, a short farming rest period begins.

While sorting out and cultivating the spiritual field, Li Ye also began to sort out his own condition.

His initial guess about the improvement of his own cultivation aptitude under the blessing of the entry was basically correct.

Just based on his talent for practicing magic, he has indeed reached the level of a natural spiritual root.

However, the efficiency of cultivation has not actually changed much, and the feeling is completely different from that of body refining.

Generally speaking, the auxiliary bonus of natural spiritual roots to cultivation can only allow one to smoothly maintain it to the Golden Core stage, and if one wants to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, it can at most only prevent one from being a drag.

If you want to be able to achieve great benefits even in breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, it depends on whether you can have a compatible spiritual body superimposed.

Li Ye is in this state now. His daily practice efficiency is pretty good, but as his cultivation level gradually approaches the middle stage over the years, there is a subtle bottleneck resistance.

In this state, I can't expect too much to break through to a higher level.

However, with [Qing Ling] and [Tong Tian], he still has a lot of room for improvement, so he is not in a hurry.

In comparison, Li Ye can clearly feel from his practice these days that with the addition of many bonuses, his physique seems to have become an endless treasure.

I can feel a significant improvement almost every time I practice, and the obstacles in my realm are almost non-existent!
It seems that his talent for body refining is equivalent to the effect of the superposition of natural spiritual roots and spiritual body. His progress can still be rapid at the third level, and it can also have a considerable bonus for breaking through to the fourth level!
If he continues to maintain this, it will probably not be difficult for Li Ye to use his physical strength to protect his many plans!
My magic power is not yet fully developed, so I can roam around with my physical body... This feeling seems to be pretty good!
"Unfortunately, after that transaction, Xue Chou hasn't returned yet. I don't know if he's no match for the others even with his puppets, or if he's been distracted by other things..."

"Otherwise, if I could borrow his channels and get some spiritual objects for physical cultivation, my physical strength would be able to reach the fourth level even faster!"

Thinking back to the old man, Li Ye secretly thought it was a pity, put away the spell in his hand, and looked at the newly reclaimed spiritual field in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Let's just let fate take its course..."

"Haste makes waste. Even without other external resources, farming is enough to support my cultivation... Just take it slow!"
