Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 351: Green Bull Blood
"This Green Bull Demon King has indeed been entrenched in the Myriad Beasts Mountains for many years. His cultivation and combat power are truly unfathomable..."

Li Ye, with a pale face, sat cross-legged with a look of deep emotion.

Now he has completely left the Myriad Beasts Mountains and entered the realm of immortal cultivation in southern Xinjiang.

He was taking a short rest in the temporary cave to recover from his injuries and the loss of his energy.

If he had not reached the fourth level of physical training and possessed sufficient combat power to deal with the enemy, he might not be able to escape from the mountain where the enemy had completely controlled every blade of grass and every tree even if he used the secret method of burning life.

Even though he had fought back and forth with the green bull before, Li Ye could feel that the monster had not been truly serious until it was actually injured.

He belongs to the Wood Element, and his magical powers in the way of plants and trees are only slightly revealed, but his vitality should be even more amazing.

A few battles might have caused it some minor injuries, but given its condition, it would most likely heal on its own in no time.

Even looking at the scales on its body, one can't tell what kind of alien bloodline it possesses. Once it uses its combat power, it will definitely be further enhanced.

In such a situation, the fact that Li Ye, who had just broken through the fourth level of physique, could wrestle with such a big monster, and even injured the green bull, but finally escaped safely, was already a result of many factors adding up to him. His own combat power was far superior to that of ordinary cultivators!
But even so, Li Ye couldn't help but be annoyed after suffering such a loss for no reason.

"Qingniu... Since you covet my Sky Realm Tree, I just happen to be in need of a respectable mount. When I achieve full power, I will capture you and make you my slave!"

He cursed softly and opened the panel casually.

……

Li Ye glanced at his lifespan and found that it was twenty years shorter than before he set out.

This is just Ran Shou's escape. If he really stayed to increase his combat power and fight with that old bull, I don't know if his life span of more than 800 years would be enough for the fight!

"I originally thought that my lifespan was accumulating very quickly. Even at the Jindan stage, I almost have the lifespan of a Yuanying. But it seems that it is not enough to support a real life-and-death battle..."

"It seems that I really need to advance the Sky Realm Tree as soon as possible!"

He sighed.

Although he has focused most of his energy on physical training for various reasons, and thus neglected the study and application of various skills, the only thing he has been using is puppetry because of his natal puppet.

But he never gave up farming. With the assistance of Niu Hai and Zhang Liangfu, he could continue to get corresponding feedback without investing too much.

In this way, the experience points that are continuously provided will help him improve his many skills.

Now, the skills he has mastered have all been upgraded to the fourth level over the years. No matter what the Yaohua Sect needs, he believes that he can take it on with ease.

As long as nothing goes wrong with the person from Yanshen Sect, Li Ye has no worries at all about entering Yaohua Sect.

As long as he could gain entry into the sect, he could naturally draw upon its spiritual veins to draw forth tier 4 spiritual energy, nourishing the Void Realm Tree and allowing it to continue growing and ascend. "However, before setting off, I must first heal my injuries and losses... and these things must also be taken care of."

Li Ye's body shook, and the red and white yin and yang fish emerged from his chest, suddenly transformed into the virtual forms of a dragon and a tiger and pounced out. They slightly lowered their heads in front of him and each spit out a few drops of green and red condensed blood.

Li Ye took out the jade bottle and received them one by one. Looking at the more than ten drops of blood in the bottle, the smile in his eyes grew wider.

Needless to say, they were collected from the Bull Head during the previous battle when the red and white Yin-Yang fish took the opportunity to attack him. After being refined by the Yin-Yang, although they suffered a lot of damage due to the rough treatment, the quality of the remaining ones also greatly increased.

The essence and blood of a fourth-level monster is also the wood element that perfectly matches him.

For Li Ye, it would be a waste to refine it in a hurry. If it were refined with the help of suitable spiritual medicine to make pills, it would be of great benefit to both his magic power and physical training, enough to make him make a significant breakthrough in his cultivation in a short period of time.

Especially in the past hundred years since he broke through to the middle stage of the Golden Core, his aptitude has become increasingly superior, and he has not lacked in resources, so his cultivation speed has naturally not been slow.

Since reaching the fourth stage of body refining, the feedback of essence has more or less led to some improvement in true essence and magic power, and now it has reached the peak of the middle stage.

With this fourth-level blue bull essence and blood pill, taking a few pills might help him break through to the later stage.

With this step, the Nascent Soul realm was getting closer to him!

………………

Compared with the four countries, the vastness and richness of the real southern border cultivation world are far beyond the reach of those remote places.

In the land of the four countries, one golden elixir is enough to occupy a country, command the people and no one dares to disobey.

Even a cultivator who has established his foundation can be considered to have a very high status, enough to travel freely.

But in this southern border world of immortal cultivation, the countries are vast, and there are many Jindan sects in each country, and it is not uncommon to see foundation-building cultivators among them.

Even in one country, there may be more than one Nascent Soul Sect!
Moreover, compared to the relatively relaxed situation in the four countries regarding the cultivation techniques and camps, in the southern border cultivation world, the righteous and evil paths are clearly divided and have been fighting each other for many years, dividing the countries into camps and causing conflicts from time to time.

If one side gains the upper hand, it is possible that they will start a war and invade the other side to seize spiritual land and compete for resources.

Fortunately, in the past few hundred years, the forces of good and evil have lived in peace for a long time, and no major opportunities have emerged between countries that would lead to conflicts between the two sides.

Now that Li Ye has crossed the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains, the country is still relatively peaceful.

"Tianyun Market... this is it!"

Li Ye couldn't help but smile as he looked at the huge market in front of him, which seemed to be even better than the Thousand Islands Water City.

And just in the distance of this market town, if you look hard enough, you can see towering mountains looming in the spiritual light of the formation.

Many of the monks who came and went subconsciously looked at the mountains with a hint of longing and fear in their eyes.

Along the way, Li Ye was already familiar with the prosperity of southern Xinjiang, and he went straight into the market without hesitation.

At this time, he no longer had the unrestrained and graceful demeanor of the jade-like young man.

Instead, he had changed his clothes, looked a little thinner, and had a hooked nose, looking a bit gloomy and old-fashioned.

It was exactly the image of the Black Wood Taoist that he had used briefly that year!
I don't know what Yanshenzong will order me to do on this trip, and Li Ye will feel uneasy if he doesn't use a pseudonym!

Although it was his first time in this market, Li Ye acted as if he was familiar with the place.

He walked quickly through the market and soon came to a restaurant. He went straight upstairs, came to a private room, and gently knocked on the door.

The restriction was opened, and the old man, with his hair and beard all white but neatly combed, showed a look of surprise when he saw Li Ye.
"Fellow Daoist Heimu, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in quickly!"
