Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 401 Is this what you have accumulated over the years?

After being imprisoned and tamed for many days, the Green Bull Demon King finally gave in.

This cow is a species with a certain amount of Qilin blood. It can cultivate to the fourth level and transform. It is extremely rare for it to occupy the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

No matter how stubborn he was, after being defeated by Li Ye repeatedly, all his means were unable to cause any harm to Li Ye himself, and he couldn't even break free from the prison and escape from Pingyang Mountain. He should have been almost worn out!
In the face of such a matter of life and death, although it was a great loss to the dignity of the Demon King to submit to Li Ye, a newly promoted Nascent Soul, if he were to die because of it and let all his past cultivation turn to dust, that would be another matter.

What's more... Li Ye has such magical powers just after his promotion, and his future achievements are unknown. It is possible that he can even gain a place in the world of immortal cultivation in southern Xinjiang.

Being his mount wouldn't necessarily be such a loss of status...

Although the demon race's cultivation speed began to approach that of human cultivators after breaking through the fourth stage of transformation, the shackles of race were still there. They had a lifespan far longer than humans, so their cultivation speed was still much slower than that of cultivators.

When Li Ye has achieved success in his cultivation in the future, the Green Bull Demon King might even have to rely on Li Ye to bring him opportunities for advancement so that he can glimpse the mysteries of a higher realm.

At least that's how the Green Bull Demon King comforted himself.

……

"Are these the spiritual plants you have accumulated over the years?"

Li Ye looked at the scattered fourth-level spiritual plant seedlings in front of him, and his eyes were filled with a hint of danger.

He didn't even have a single spiritual herb of sufficient age to be considered a fourth-grade medicinal herb, and yet he had the audacity to offer his collection in exchange for his life?!
If you really believe his lies, he might take the opportunity to run away, and the benefits you can get will be pitifully small!
After all, the use of the spiritual plant to him is entirely his own business, and such matters of asking for benefits should be considered separately.

You want to get rid of him like this? Do you think he is a fool?
If he had not already taken a part of the Green Bull Demon King's soul, placed a restriction in his demon pill, and completely established a master-servant contract, if he really injured him again he would lose a lot of combat power. Li Ye really had the urge to beat this guy up again!

Seeing Li Ye's gaze, the Green Bull Demon King, whose body had shrunk, felt a little guilty.

Now his life is in the control of this man, and he has been unconsciously inferior to him. Not to mention that the facts are in front of him, the Green Bull Demon King really has no confidence.

He coughed lightly and said:

"Ahem... I, Old Ox, am greedy and lazy. Although I have some magical powers of the Wood Element, I rarely take care of spiritual plants myself. All of them are brought to me by the little demons under my command. I have eaten all the ones that are a few years old. Indeed, these are the only ones left..."

Before Li Ye could narrow his eyes and punish him, the Green Bull Demon King quickly added,
"Although these are the only spiritual plants I have, I'm not very interested in other spiritual objects. I do have some accumulated, and I'm about to offer them to you!"

The cow just stepped on the ground with its front hoof, and the earth suddenly surged. The numerous roots in the mountain kept turning out, and finally a big ball woven entirely by thick roots was sent out.

There are spiritual patterns swirling on it. Although it is not as regular as the array, it also has the effects of blocking and concealing when connected to each other. Combined with the changes of the wood element and buried deep in the earth, it is almost seamless.

Even though Li Ye has now initially cultivated some magical spiritual eyes, he can only see some spiritual light, but cannot completely see what is hidden in it.

Li Ye's expression relaxed slightly as he watched the Green Bull Demon King open the ball with a little hesitation. As rays of spiritual light emerged from it, a smile finally appeared on his face.

"Although the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range borders the Southern Border countries, its spiritual environment is only slightly better than that of the Four Kingdoms. Besides spiritual plants, the spiritual objects it produces are mostly gold and earth items commonly found in the mountains."

The old ox manipulated the scattered balls and brought several treasures to Li Ye.
"Old Cow, I don't need these. I will give them all to you today!" Li Ye glanced at the flattering look on the cow's face and nodded in satisfaction, then took them away.
"That's not bad. I'll forgive you for your previous deception."

Although he has a natal puppet that can transform into combat armor to cover his body, this treasure is tied to Han Fei's identity after all. Even if it changes its form and behavior, it is possible for people to see some connection.

And when the real fight comes, he might even release it to fight and use it as a fighting force.

It is not a stable means of protection.

Now that these fourth-grade spiritual materials of gold and earth have arrived, it is just right. I can refine another protective treasure to supplement my fighting skills after I am promoted to the Nascent Soul stage.

It also happens to make it more distinct from other disguised identities, making it easier to act.

However, it is a bit of a pity that I failed to get a piece of fourth-level spiritual wood Li Ye this time.

Although the Wooden God Cauldron is powerful, it also consumes a lot of energy, and it opens and closes violently when in use. Even though it can seal the void, it has some less changes.

Among them, the magical power born from the meaning of plants and trees is still slightly inferior in the Nascent Soul battle, and it still needs more spiritual essence of plants and trees to nourish and refine it.

The achievement of the ritual refining in the future might just be in line with Li Ye's years of deduction and attempts to melt all the laws into one, and create a magical power that is unique to him and can be blessed by the panel entries.

Only then can the power of this tripod in the Wood Element Avenue be truly demonstrated.

But that is a matter for the future. Now he has some thoughts of refining a flying sword or other magic weapon with speed as a common means of fighting.

Together with the protective magic weapon made from the golden and earth spirit objects, he now has both an attack and a defense, which is enough to enrich his fighting skills.

It's just that I don't have the corresponding spiritual wood at the moment. The Sky Realm Tree has just advanced to the fourth level and has produced fruit. It is not a wise choice to rashly cut off its core wood to use for refining treasures.

Since the Green Bull Demon King's collection could not satisfy his needs, he could only put it aside for now and make plans later.

After taking the Green Bull Demon King's accumulation, Li Ye smiled at him:
"You, the dignified Demon King, are also considered my comrade. Although we have a master-servant contract, I will not order you around unless necessary..."

"If there is nothing else, you can continue to practice in the Myriad Beasts Mountains. You only need to guard the entrance and exit of the Four Kingdoms for me. If anything happens, please report it to me immediately."

Pingyang Mountain is guarded by Li Ye himself, so naturally he is not lacking in fourth-level combat power.

But now, the southern border countries on the other side of the Wanshou Mountains are in the midst of a great war between good and evil, and there are also existences like the Yanshen Sect lurking deep in the dark, and the situation is unpredictable.

At this time, someone is needed to guard the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range on behalf of Li Ye for screening, and at the same time convey the movements of the countries in southern Xinjiang to him, so as to maintain the most basic response capability to the crisis.

In this case, it is better to give the old cow some freedom. It will be effective without being too harsh.

As for cultivating their loyalty?
There is still a long way to go, and now that the contract has been signed, Li Ye has plenty of time to make this old cow completely surrender, so there is no need to rush.
