Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 33: Actively giving in, double happiness (please read!)
Xiong Yinxiu's death did not cause much waves in the sect.

Only some of Lingnong's disciples discussed the matter orally, but they all tacitly kept it secret.

After all, which spiritual farmer disciple hasn't thought about going to the spiritual fields in the caves of the sect elders to tend to the spiritual plants for them?
Having the opportunity to try to compete is a rare chance.

But Xiong Yinxiu's suicidal behavior is ruining their reputation!
If it gets out, it will become known to everyone.

Then, if there are other foundation-building elders who want to select personnel from the spiritual farming disciples, wouldn’t they hesitate and make other considerations when they think of this matter?
This is why Xiong Yinxiu died on the spot after being hit by the Foundation Establishment Elder.

If she wasn't dead, I'm afraid someone would be unable to resist causing trouble for her!

As for Li Ye, the real beneficiary of this farce...

He has been very busy these days!
"The witchcraft is cunning and sinister, yet has a unique effect. It's truly a good method..."

Li Ye flipped through the book in his hand carefully, with an attentive expression and sincere admiration.

This was one of the more valuable things he found in Xiong Yinxiu's storage bag.

Even though the jade slips were not used and it was just a book made of some animal skin, it was an incomplete inheritance of witchcraft.

Compared to the small booklet on the masked man that only contained some introductions about poisonous insects, this one was undoubtedly much more comprehensive.

It not only records some introductory content on witchcraft, but also contains various methods of refining poisonous insects, as well as means of controlling and preventing poisonous insects.

As long as you have enough resources at hand and are willing to invest in refining some of these poisonous insects, it will be enough to significantly increase your combat power!

From this inheritance combined with the other classics in his storage bag, we can find that Xiong Yinxiu is actually a person with quite a lot of luck.

If she really gets the qualification this time, she will get enough contributions and resources to raise and refine poisonous insects and master the art of poison.

In the future, maybe I will have the opportunity to build a foundation and become an elder in one fell swoop!
"It's a pity that you insist on making things difficult for me..."

Li Ye murmured, with a look of regret on his face.

"As for refining Gu, I don't have much energy or money to invest in it right now..."

For him, whether it is for improving his cultivation or for making money, the first thing he should focus on is the way of making alchemy.

Not only does it accumulate experience points to prepare for upgrading its level, but it also starts refining in the furnace every day.

Although the success rate of the first-level inferior craftsmanship is not very good, the fasting pills made with spiritual rice as the main material cannot be sold at a high price.

But considering that he had no initial investment at all, this means he can make his money back as soon as he starts!
After thinking for a moment, he glanced at the panel.

【Understanding the Art of Gu (1/1800)】

"Hmm... the witchcraft seems to be quite mysterious..."

"I'd better study it myself first, and then try to refine some of the existing poisonous insects to enrich my skills..."

"As for refining Gu myself, I'll have to wait until I've mastered the art of alchemy!"

…………

"So this is what that bitch relies on..."

Yao Shaohui and Gu Daojin were reading a classic book together with great interest, cursing under their breath.

When they saw Xiong Yinxiu die at the hands of Elder Ji with their own eyes that day, they were shocked and even felt a bit sad for the other party.

But after learning from Li Ye what she had done, their attitude towards her completely turned into hatred.

Collaborating with outsiders to kill Li Ye is a betrayal of the sect!
Using poisonous insects to harm spiritual plants would affect the interests of both of them.

Totally intolerable!

If Elder Ji didn't just dislike social interactions but had a pretty good personality, I'm afraid even if they stopped the three of them in time, they wouldn't have gotten anything good.

Now that they saw the booklet containing a lot of information about spiritual flowers that Li Ye had found in his home, they finally understood why Xiong Yinxiu had such special attainments in taking care of spiritual flowers.

After reading the whole book, there are dozens of methods of cultivating first-level and second-level spiritual flowers recorded by Linlin, and the Sun Flower is just one of them.

At this time, Li Ye was willing to share it with them for free, which really surprised them and made them grateful. They even felt a little guilty!

Ever since Xiong Yinxiu was killed by the elders, their fear and dread of Li Ye were aroused once again. They have been having all kinds of thoughts in the past few days, and many of them are dark thoughts.

At this point, it seems that although Li Ye is cruel and ruthless to his enemies and kills them decisively, he is really kind to them!
Record the contents of the book into the jade slip one by one.

Yao Shaohui and Gu Daojin straightened their expressions and bowed directly to Li Ye.

"What are you two doing..."

Li Ye turned aside and refused to accept it, but he understood what they meant in his heart.

And this is exactly the result he needs for doing so!

"Junior Brother Li, although we've only known each other for a short time, I, Old Gu, have received a great deal of guidance from you. This bow is simply a token of my gratitude!"

Gu Daojin looked solemnly at Yao Shaohui.

"We've already discussed this. Junior Brother's spiritual plant attainments are far behind ours..."

"Although this competition has not yet been finalized, my spiritual plant craftsmanship will not suddenly improve by leaps and bounds... Whether it's in terms of skills or favors, the two of us are convinced of our defeat to you, Junior Brother!"

Yao Shaohui chuckled and said,

"Since that bitch Xiong Yinxiu is seeking her own death and leaving so easily... then the two of us staying here will only be an eyesore. Why not report to the elders and withdraw, and help you, Junior Brother!"

The two of them were no match for Li Ye in the art of spiritual plants, so there was actually no hope for them. They had received a lot of instruction from him during this period of time. In this case, it would be better for them to retreat and make good friends with Li Ye.

"Second Senior Brother Gao Yi!"

Li Ye saluted solemnly and said with a smile,

"But the spiritual energy here is hard to come by. Even if you two brothers are truly willing to help me, would you be willing to give up this wonderful place for cultivation?"

"Of course I'm reluctant to give it up..."

Yao Shaohui and Gu Daojin looked sincere and said with regret,
"But if you don't accept the mission and report in, the spiritual fields left for us in the spiritual medicine garden will be allocated to others!"

"Since we have no chance here, we can't lose our original capital, right?"

"That's it!"

Li Ye suddenly understood and said jokingly, "I was wondering how the two brothers could even let go of the great spiritual energy here... Then I can only happily accept your kindness!"

"Brothers, if you run into the disciple named Zhang Liangfu when you return to the Spiritual Medicine Garden, as he was a good friend of mine when we were at the sect's spiritual field, please take care of him for me. I would be very grateful!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Yao and Gu agreed immediately.

…………

"From now on, these spiritual fields will be contracted by me..."

On the hillside, Li Ye looked down with an excited expression.

Elder Ji readily agreed to Yao and Gu's initiative to give in, and even gave them some rewards with great satisfaction.

From then on, Li Ye became the disciple who took care of Elder Ji's spiritual field in the back mountain.

"Then let's take care of an acre of spiritual farmland to celebrate!"

People are in high spirits when they are happy. Li Ye walked straight to the fields that he had taken care of from the beginning and started farming with excitement.

Before we knew it, the condition of each seedling was getting better and better, growing taller and darker in color.

Until a faint light flashed on one of them.

You skillfully cared for the first-level spiritual plant [Blood Rice], causing it to thrive. Experience +0.1...
[The first-level spiritual plant [Blood Rice] grows stronger, and you gain [Blood Spirit Essence] (1%)...]
[......]
Now, double happiness comes!
