Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 391 Breaking through the Nascent Soul
After several months of evolution, the fourth-order spiritual vein of Pingyang Mountain has been completely solidified.

On this basis, Li Ye replanted the Sky Realm Tree back into the mountain, and the crown of the giant tree covered the entire Pingyang Mountain like a canopy.

With sufficient supply of spiritual energy, the magical power of this tree was finally brought into full play.

The boundary power it evolved from saved Li Ye the expense of various fourth-order spiritual objects required for setting up the formation, and thus became the core of the Blue Sky Tree Sea formation, pushing it to the fourth level.

In this way, the first layer of defense that Li Ye broke through during his retreat was completely formed!
During this period of time, Li Ye did not simply watch over the evolution of the spiritual veins, but chose to retrace his steps in the four countries, starting from being a spiritual farmer disciple of the Zixuan Sect and gradually coming to the Red Mountains to practice.

Even though he had the Pure Heart Bodhi Seed to protect his mind from being disturbed by the inner demon, it was only an auxiliary means. Whether he could survive the inner demon calamity depended on whether Li Ye's own mind was stable enough.

This time, I am walking back the path I took when I was at a low level of cultivation and in hardship. This is also a way to sort out the distracting thoughts in my mind and make up for any spiritual loopholes that may exist.

And his actions did not attract anyone's attention.

With Li Ye's current magical powers, if he doesn't want others to notice his whereabouts, no one below the Nascent Soul stage will be able to see through him.

Like a spectator, he went to his former residence in Zixuan Sect, the spiritual fields he had cultivated, and the Zimo Market... He walked all the way like this, and finally returned to the Chidi Mountains and climbed Changcui Mountain, before leisurely returning to Pingyang Mountain.

As time passed, the traces he had left behind were no longer there. Even if there were still some places left that had not been used by others, they were specially divided and reserved by people like the Zixuan Sect who deliberately tried to please them.

But this appearance is a bit too rigid, and in essence it is also an erasure of his past living experience there.

As Li Ye walked along the way, his state of mind became increasingly calm, and his analysis of his own soul became much clearer.

Ever since he attained the Golden Elixir state, he has consciously used his position and authority to settle all past grudges.

To this day, he has been practicing for more than three hundred years, and his old friends have passed away with the passage of time.

Although the Li family, which he had personally cut off ties with and no longer had any contact with, still existed in the world, its disciples might have changed several times.

The person who once left unpleasant memories for himself and his previous life has long since passed away.

Not long after he left, old friends of the Zixuan Sect such as Yu Lijun, Yu Xiaoshan and Ji Xiangyang reached the end of their lifespans and returned to the earth.

Among them, Ji Xiangyang, who had the best qualifications, also failed to break through to the Golden Elixir stage.

If one fails to achieve the golden elixir, a cultivator’s life span of two hundred years will pass by in a flash!
Li Ye did not owe him anything. On the contrary, he had given him a considerable gift out of the kindness shown to him by Ji Qing in the past. This time, he only sighed slightly in his heart and then calmed down.

Even after they became old friends, Zhang Chengfu, whose work made him very satisfied, got his magic pill last time and was able to make a fake pill and was still full of energy.

A girl like Luo Jinghan, who had excellent talent, was unable to break through to the Golden Core stage on her own even though she had support from the people in the mountains.

Even if Li Ye left the extra Xuanhuo Liquid for Hong Yao to use to help her at the right time, she still failed and ultimately only relied on the Golden Pill to save her life.

She passed away before he could return to see her for the last time.

Li Ye knew that the woman had some feelings for him, but he really had no intention of taking action against such an old friend.

Since she had good talent, we gave her more support. Although it was a pity that she failed in the end, it did not mean that we were ashamed of the help that old man Luo had given her back then!

As for the consumed Xuanhuo Liquid... Although the spiritual objects for Jindan are rare, there is still a relatively stable output in the world of immortal cultivation in southern Xinjiang, and they can be seen from time to time in various auction houses. Even if Li Ye fails to produce another real Jindan cultivator under his command, it is not a pity.

Once he achieves Nascent Soul stage, it will be easy for him to purchase this item again!
This trip was to pay respect to all the deceased, thus ending the affection they had for their past acquaintances. As Li Ye reached higher and higher realms, fewer and fewer of his old friends remained in the world, and now, not a single one of his old friends from the days when he was still insignificant remained in the world...

This is something that cultivators are destined to face. Even though Li Ye felt regretful, he accepted it calmly and faced this state of mind.

As he returned to Pingyang Mountain, Li Ye's mind gradually became clearer, and his state reached its peak!

…………

All the disciples in Pingyang Mountain were sent away, and the power of the formation was reduced, completely covering the mountain.

Li Ye didn't need to say much, almost everyone could guess what he was going to do next.

"Young Master has been away for a hundred years, and now he's coming back to break through to the Nascent Soul stage... I wonder if he can successfully break through this time..."

Outside the formation, Rong Yue looked out at Pingyang Mountain, which was completely covered by giant trees, with concern in her eyes.

"Don't you know what the master is doing?"

Hong Yao said, "With your temperament, why would you rashly attempt a breakthrough if you weren't sure? We can only wait patiently and celebrate with you when the time comes!"

Although she said so, she still had some worries beneath her confidence.

There are many obstacles in breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, and each step may lead to the death of the cultivator. Even if you have confidence in the young master, how can you not worry and pray for him in your heart.

And these two women are just a microcosm of the many cultivators in the red mountains today.

The group of cultivators were eagerly waiting, silently gazing at the mountains shrouded in blue clouds, with mixed emotions in their hearts.

But at this moment, Li Ye completely put external affairs behind him.

Indoor retreat.

He looked solemn, and a shadow appeared on his body and then disappeared, turning into substance and becoming the form of his own puppet.

After reaching the fourth stage, my natal puppet has undergone a complete transformation through the mind that has been cultivated through hundreds of years of Tiangong puppetry. It now has the ability to move on its own and has turned into an incarnation.

He looked lively, and after exchanging glances with Li Ye, he stood guard beside him, serving as Li Ye's last line of defense during his retreat.

"Everything is arranged, it's time..."

Li Ye murmured, his eyes determined.

He drew many runes on his body, made hand gestures, and launched the attack.

Teng!
The runes lit up one by one, turning blood-red, and connected to each other. Suddenly, an illusory blue-red flame ignited on Li Ye's body.

Its fuel is his lifespan!
As the flame emerged, Li Ye's true energy, magic power and soul became active, the formation was activated, and Pingyang Mountain was filled with huge fourth-level spiritual energy that was exclusively owned by Li Ye.

His soul sank down from his sea of consciousness all the way into his dantian, and then merged into the pure blue-purple golden elixir with perfect golden light.

The breakthrough begins here!
