Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 326 The middle stage of golden elixir
Perhaps it was because Li Ye had already laid the foundation for his first spiritual evolution.

This time, once the entry was completed, unlike the previous ones that required time to evolve, changes immediately occurred in his original spiritual body.

Swah——

Brand new pure green spiritual patterns were derived from his Mu Yuan spiritual body, and suddenly became more complex and mysterious. Runes condensed from his bones and flesh, making the Mu Yuan spiritual body even more perfect.

But when all the evolutions were complete, it only significantly improved the various effects of this spirit body. It still seemed to be a long way from a true qualitative change, a transformation into a higher-level spirit body...

Fortunately, such a change is enough to serve as the final driving force to help Li Ye take this breakthrough step!

The spirit body resonated with the Wood God Technique, and as the golden elixir was exhaled, the true energy and magic power that Li Ye had accumulated over the years began to circulate on its own.

Although Li Ye was still in the process of comprehension, he instinctively sat cross-legged and practiced his skills. The surrounding spiritual energy rolled in from the sky and turned into a surging vortex, pouring into his body and into the golden elixir.

Thus, we launched an attack towards a higher level!

…………

The vortex of spiritual energy in the sky gradually dissipated, and Li Ye, who was sitting cross-legged by the field, regained his aura. However, his magic power and true essence had almost doubled compared to before.

He has already successfully entered the middle stage of the Golden Core!

Li Ye opened his eyes, faint ripples spread out from his body, and his aura disappeared in an instant.

The extraordinary power dissipated, and Li Ye turned back into his usual ordinary, calm appearance.

He looked at the many spiritual plants surrounding him and couldn't help but smile.

Li Ye gently stroked these spiritual flowers and herbs, and emitted a few rays of spiritual light to nourish them. As he felt the changes in his body, he felt a little emotional.

It has been probably several dozen or even a hundred years since he broke through to the Golden Core stage.

In the first ten to twenty years, the spiritual veins were not of sufficient rank, there was a lack of spiritual fields, and there were no spiritual plants.

It was not until the demons were defeated, and with the spoils of war and the arrival of two lucky stars, Zhan and Xue, that he gradually accumulated enough foundation.

Farming was able to gradually get on the right track, and its output began to feed back into one's own practice. Both qualifications and resources were fully compensated and supplied, and the speed of improvement was greatly improved from then on.

Only then could he achieve a breakthrough and enter the middle stage of the Golden Elixir in less than a hundred years.

Although this speed is still not as fast as that of a true genius from a big sect, Li Ye himself is very satisfied.

Especially now that [Qing Ling] has been upgraded again, Mu Yuan's spiritual body has been further improved, and his qualifications have been improved. Compared with the real cultivators with natural spiritual roots, he is no worse, and may even be slightly better!
His future practice will only be smoother, and the time required to move from the middle stage to the late stage may be greatly reduced!
"It's not just my cultivation... This advancement has also benefited my physique and spiritual awareness..."

"Hmm... and he seems to be much more active. His cultivation will also experience a period of rapid improvement..."

Li Ye carefully felt his body, "And my lifespan... seems to have increased by twenty years?"

He thought so, then turned his attention to the panel. Seeing the life span, it was indeed the same!
"It seems that after reaching the Golden Core stage, each breakthrough in a small realm will bring a certain increase in lifespan... Although it's not much, it is indeed a way to prolong the lifespan of some cultivators who are at the end of their lives!"

However, for Li Ye, this improvement is actually the least important benefit after his cultivation progresses.

After all, his life span is no longer declining and he is close to immortality. For him, the magical powers to deal with many external disasters are more important.

After confirming his lifespan and scanning through a large amount of information, the smile on his face widened.

The new entries he gained even led to a breakthrough in his cultivation. It was a double blessing for him today!

"Although the Ghost Eye Flower didn't give me the special entry I was hoping for, this [Feminine] is pretty good. At least the third-level [Balance] puzzle only needs a third-level Yang spiritual plant..."

Li Ye muttered with some satisfaction.

This time the spiritual plants matured, and the four spiritual plants of the elements gave him the [Green Spirit], while the spirit-avoiding flower gave him the [Induction], the silver snake grass was the [Poison], the demon poison branch was the [Poison-transforming], and the ghost pupil flower was the [Femtosity].

The ability bestowed upon Li Ye and the spiritual plants by the [Sensation] entry is very similar to the spiritual flower's ability to sense and react to external disasters. This greatly enhances Li Ye's instinctive impulses as a cultivator, making him more sensitive to things that are disadvantageous to him.

This bonus is truly amazing, enough to greatly increase his chances of survival in all situations!
Even if it's a Nascent Soul sneak attack, it's possible to sense it... As for whether you can dodge it, that's another matter.

[Poison] is relatively simple. In addition to cultivating poisonous flowers and plants with special nutrients, it also allows Li Ye to have some control and amplification ability over poisons... If combined with [Moisturization], this method of poisoning would be quite amazing!

It just so happened that the silver snake grass had also matured. Although it was not very old, Li Ye had accumulated a lot of spiritual essence since the grass was planted. This mixture was enough to equal the medicinal power of hundreds of years.

This would give him an extra trump card to use against others.

And this effect can even be used in conjunction with the [Transformation] entry given by the Demonic Gu Branch!
The blessing of [Transformation into Gu] to the spiritual plant and Li Ye can be said to be one and the same. It allows him to plant spiritual plants with a certain probability to breed poisonous insects that match their characteristics. It will not harm the spiritual plants and can even feed each other and grow together. It is truly magical!
Li Ye has an innate control over them and is also able to resist other poisonous insects.

This effect can be regarded as an auxiliary to his Gu Dao!
Until now, he still lacks the third-level Gu recipe, and relies entirely on the panel to raise his realm and deduce it on his own.

But with this entry, many spiritual plants can give birth to poisonous insects on their own. In this way, he only needs to practice with the poisonous insects produced by those spiritual plants, and he can obtain no less than the third-level poisonous insects he has.

This is quite consistent with the idea of some poisonous insects he has been planning and accumulating them by farming.

Perhaps it won't take that long before he can refine the poisonous insects he has planned!
According to the idea of [Poison], if the poisonous grass produces poison, and then it is combined with the corresponding spiritual plant to improve it, its power will be further increased.

With such superposition, there might be a chance to create a poisonous insect that could even harm the Nascent Soul stage.

"I never thought that the biggest surprise this time would be this demonic Gu branch..."

Li Ye's expression was rich and full of joy.

If today's harvest is to be transformed into strength, additional efforts will be needed. Li Ye has no objection to this and is very happy about it.

As his cultivation entered the middle stage of the Golden Core, his body and spiritual awareness were all progressing towards the upper third level, and he was not far from the standard he had set for himself to enter the lava underground palace to explore.

As long as he can obtain the content of the fourth level of the Tiangong Sutra, with the experience points he has accumulated over the years and the spiritual materials he has saved, it is possible for him to reach the fourth level of his natal puppet!
By then, his body training and puppetry will have reached the fourth level... and it will be time for him to set off for the countries in southern Xinjiang!
