Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 324 The host and guest enjoy themselves
Dozens of days passed and Li Ye and Xue Chou met again.

This person hasn't even left the cave these days. Li Ye is quite satisfied with this attitude, and the smile on his face is a little more genuine.

"Fellow Daoist Xue, please look!"

The two of them sat down, and without waiting for the old man to ask any questions, Li Ye gently raised his hand, and a clear purple light emerged from his hand.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a four-inch small sword, crystal clear and sharp. The sword body seemed to have the structure of dragon scales. The sword body trembled slightly and a faint dragon roar was heard, which was even more majestic.

With such performance, it is a very good treasure even among the lower-grade magic weapons. It can be said that it is infinitely close to the mid-grade level!

If you buy it and refine it as your own magic weapon, you don't need to consume too much true essence to refine it to the middle grade.

For many Jindan monks who lack offensive means, it is the best of the best!

Xue Chou was stunned when he saw it.

"This... is this the magic weapon that Daoist friend refined using that purple jade?"

In fact, there was no need to ask any more questions. He could make a judgment just by looking at the material of the flying sword. However, the quality of this flying sword really made him lose his composure.

He only gave Li Ye a piece of purple jade. Although the quality of this thing was above average, what auxiliary materials could Li Ye get to refine it in this remote place?

Originally, he guessed that Li Ye's ability to stably produce low-grade magic weapons was a testament to his superb skills, and lived up to his previous boasting.

But now, seeing this person's skills, he felt that they were beyond his expectations.

Is it true that puppetry, like puppetry, is restricted by the limited materials available and cannot be used effectively?

And... Li Ye seemed to have mentioned before that his alchemy skills were also quite good. If he had such attainments... he might even be proficient in formations!
With so many difficult and obscure skills, it would be a rare talent for an ordinary person to master even one of them, but this Li Ye is able to master so many, and even has a remarkable attainment in all of them...

Such talent is a bit too exaggerated!

Many of Xue Chou's thoughts were instantly connected by this flying sword, and a raging storm was rising in his heart. He could no longer control his expression.

When he thought about the fact that Li Ye was born in such a barren place as the Four Kingdoms' world of immortal cultivation, he inexplicably felt a sense of absurdity, as if a golden phoenix had flown out of a chicken coop!
"This sword was forged from the purple jade. Coincidentally, the third-rank black dragon from Qiandao Water City gave me a lot of dragon blood and scales, which helped me refine it, and it's quite compatible..."

Li Ye's expression remained unchanged as he smiled faintly, "I've named this sword 'Jade Dragon'. What do you think, fellow Daoist?"

"Ah...good! Brother Li, this is a great name!"

Xue Chou came back to his senses and immediately nodded in praise.

"Daoist friend, please take a closer look."

Li Ye smiled when he heard this, and withdrew the magic power that activated the sword, and extended the hilt of the sword outward in front of Xue Chou.

Xue Chou took the Jade Dragon Sword and examined it carefully, becoming more and more certain of its quality.

Then he continued without evasion, "Brother Li's cooking skills are truly remarkable. I was amazed earlier and lost my composure a bit. I hope you can forgive me."

This statement is simply another way of praising Li Ye's craftsmanship. Anyone who hears it will inevitably feel quite benefited.

Li Ye is naturally no exception.

However, all his skills were recorded on the panel, and he knew exactly what he could do, so he didn't get carried away by it.

Still very sober!

He laughed heartily and asked, "So, is our business still going well?"

"It's done! It's done!"

Xue Chou nodded heavily. "It is a great honor for me to be able to cooperate with a master refiner like Brother Li. As long as we operate properly, it will be enough to make the income of our sect's barren Ziling jade mine soar!"

"That's good..." Li Ye's smile faded. "In that case, let's talk about the profits... Let's start with this Jade Dragon Sword!"

Xue Chou's expression also turned serious upon hearing this. "This matter really needs to be settled first..."

The two of them then began to express their opinions, and at first they could still smile a little, but they each argued for their own reasons and refused to give in at all.

You said it was not easy to produce the materials yourself, and I said this kind of craftsmanship might be even harder to find...

After some discussion, they finally reached a mutually satisfactory result.

Li Ye took out the third-level magic contract he had specially refined and carefully copied down the terms they had agreed upon. After the two of them checked each other and confirmed that they were correct, they stamped their respective magic power imprints on it.

Immediately, the magic contract ignited on its own, transforming into two rays of spiritual light that entered their bodies and merged into their souls.

"Brother Li, I will rely on you a lot from now on!"

Xue Chou bowed to Li Ye and said, "If I come across a precious elixir, I will definitely come to you to refine it, so that others won't get it for free..."

"Fellow Daoist, you haven't even seen my alchemy skills, so are you so confident?" Li Ye pretended to be surprised.

Xue Chou uttered an "eh" and said seriously without any embarrassment:

"Since Brother Li is confident that his alchemy skills are no less than those of weapon refining and puppetry, why should I be worried?"

Li Ye laughed heartily: "Hahahaha! If you say so, fellow Daoist, I'm really looking forward to it!"

…………

The deal was done.

The relationship between Xue Chou and Li Ye became much closer due to this connection of interests.

The two of them held another banquet and sat down to discuss Taoism, which made the old man marvel at the profoundness of Li Ye's Taoism.

Frankly speaking, with Li Ye's understanding of Taoism, reaching the middle stage of the Golden Elixir would probably not be a problem at all for him!
Li Ye also discussed with him and gained a deeper understanding of various magical skills and secret techniques.

By analogy, I came up with many ideas to solve some of the obstacles in the practice of Qiannian Yanshen Jue.

After such an event, both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves.

As soon as the banquet was over, Xue Chou took out another piece of purple jade and asked Li Ye to refine another magic weapon of a different style to sell.

Li Ye readily agreed, took the spiritual jade, and immediately refined a more precious shield magic weapon, which made Xue Chou very happy.

The value of this defensive treasure in the world of immortal cultivation is always higher than that of ordinary offensive treasures!

Li Ye was able to refine it easily, which greatly increased the value of the purple jade!

After taking the Jade Dragon Sword and the shield, he didn't stay any longer. He apologized and left excitedly.

With this sword and shield paving the way, it is enough to help him build a reputation in the auction house and establish cooperative relationships.

It will be much more convenient to send magic weapons for auction in the future, and you will also be able to get preferential treatment from the auction house when purchasing many spiritual objects because there is a master weapon refiner standing behind you.

"If this feedback is passed on to me, I can steadily obtain the spiritual objects needed for cultivation..."

Li Ye sat in the pavilion in the mountains, watching Xue Chou go away with a smile on his face.

The spiritual objects he had previously traded with Xue Chou for three puppets were only able to upgrade his own puppet to a medium-grade one, but his current puppetry skills were still far from reaching their limit.

With the continuous feedback from this channel, not only the natal puppet, but also various other means can finally be slowly prepared!
