Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 41: New Year’s Winter Snow, Blood Light Breaks the Sky (Please Read!)

"My fellow Taoists, Happy New Year! May the harvest be good next year!"

Li Ye raised his glass and clinked it with the many friends in front of him, and his wishes and joy for the New Year were blended into the wine.

Outside the restaurant, the crackling sound of firecrackers could be faintly heard, creating a joyous atmosphere.

Due to the relative scarcity of resources, the cultivation world in Huan Kingdom is not of a high level. A Jindan sect like the Zixuan Sect is already a dominant existence. The markets in various places are almost entirely dominated by Qigong cultivators, and foundation-building cultivators are extremely rare.

The life expectancy of the main group of monks is still within the normal range.

Therefore, many customs in the mortal world are also preserved in this immortal cultivation market.

Looking out the window, Li Ye saw the streets decorated with lights and bustling with activity amidst the falling snowflakes. He couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment.

All of this... is so similar!

Even though there were many good friends present, such as Zhang Liangfu, and the atmosphere was very lively, at this moment he still felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"This is my first New Year in this world..."

He thought silently and drank the wine in the glass.

…………

After the New Year, return to the sect.

Everything in front of me changed from the bustling market to the cold and misty mountains.

The icy and snowy world covered with snowflakes suddenly turned into green water and green mountains shrouded in clouds and mist.

Looking at the warm light ball in the sky, I feel the mild climate that is completely different from the outside world and is like spring all year round.

Li Ye was filled with emotion.

"Isolated from the outside world, it's a self-contained formation that can, to a certain extent, control the weather and maintain an optimal environment, allowing spiritual plants to grow year-round without being affected by the external climate... It's truly a third-level formation!"

"In comparison, the market formation is only at the first level, and it cannot completely eliminate the effects of the external celestial phenomena. It is still a world of ice and snow..."

But even such a first-level formation is powerful enough to protect the safety of the area and maintain order in the market!

"It's a pity that the inheritance of the Way of Formation is hard to come by. No matter whether it is a sect or a noble family, they don't want such a thing to be easily leaked. Even with my current wealth, I can't afford it. I can only wait for the opportunity..."

Li Ye couldn't help but shake his head when he thought about how Yue Quan and other shop owners had their smiles frozen on their faces when he proposed to buy the inheritance of the formation art.

As for the seedlings or seeds of the spiritual roots of heaven and earth that he had once fantasized about, he had also asked about them.

Items like these are actually the same as the inheritance of formations. If they can really be found, the forces behind these shops will naturally keep them. How could they possibly sell them?
There is no need to think too much!

But there is no rush for these.

Now he has made some progress in body training, and he recently repaired the black wooden sword, retaining most of its power. His previous attempts to use the Fiery Sun Spirit in the art of talismans also yielded some results, giving him an extra trump card.

There is no shortage of self-defense methods!
Selling pills is also a way to continuously accumulate spirit stones, and you can take your time with both of them.

Walking through the mountains, Li Ye thought about many trivial matters, and gradually calmed down the emotions brought about by this special day.

As usual, he came to Elder Ji's cave.

After wishing the boy a happy new year and giving him a red envelope as a token of his appreciation, and asking him to wish Elder Ji a happy new year on his behalf, Li Ye went straight to the spiritual field in the back mountain.

A few months have passed, and now the four acres of rice are growing vigorously.

Amidst the dense crops, there was a sea of red. Li Ye worked in the fields every day, smelling the bloody yet refreshing fragrance of the rice. After that, his blood and energy would become more active when he practiced!
The seedlings of the Fiery Sunflower in the second-level spiritual field have also begun to sprout, and the flower buds on the green rhizomes are expanding day by day.

After a brief observation, Li Ye rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs and began today's care work.

Now he has completely adjusted the status of one thousand Fiery Sun Flowers to the same level. The experience value feedback and Fiery Sun Spirit Essence from the remaining seven hundred and fifty flowers were also collected early. Including the previous ones, there are a total of ten complete Fiery Sun Spirit Essences.

But there is also some consumption.

Maybe when it blooms, I can harvest it again...

Even as the drug's effectiveness increases every year thereafter, there will be corresponding feedback.

The status of Xuelimi has also reached a limit, and experience points should be given again in the next few days.

This is likely the last time before it fully matures! Once it is mastered, Li Ye's many skills will be further improved.

Otherwise, why would he be so diligent during the Spring Festival instead of going to Chunxiao Garden to relax?
…………

a few days later.

The cave residence of the ancestor of the third-level spiritual vein of Zixuan Sect.

Cai Shiwei and a handsome middle-aged man with a noble demeanor and dressed in moon-white robes landed on clouds from the highest peak of the sect.

His aura showed that he had already successfully established a foundation!
It has only been a little over a year since he first reached the seventh level of Qi training and later encountered a demon cultivator in his previous cave and awakened his blood and soul spirit in a bloody battle.

Even though he went out to fight many times, he had both the blessings from the sect and many opportunities.

Such an improvement speed is too exaggerated, and the aptitude seems to be much better than that of the top-grade spiritual roots!

This immediately aroused the suspicion of his master Jiao Jinhan——

I suspect that his awakened spirit is probably not just a blood and soul spirit, it is very likely a higher-level special physique!

So much so that even the Jindan Patriarch who was in seclusion was surprised after hearing the news, and took the initiative to summon Cai Shiwei to see what was so special about him.

"Shi Wei, it's a blessing for you that the ancestor summoned me this time. Although the ancestor only accepted Li Qiushuang as his personal disciple, he also mentioned and praised you..."

"If you can please the ancestor this time and receive a small gift, it will be a great opportunity. You must seize it!"

Jiao Jinhan gave Cai Shiwei instructions with an earnest and expectant look on his face.

"Disciple will definitely remember Master's instructions!"

Cai Shiwei looked serious, with a hint of nervousness... and impatience in his eyes.

As they spoke, the two of them arrived outside an ancient palace. Pure spiritual energy far beyond the second level was echoing on the top of the mountain like waves, but most of it was firmly bound by the formation, and only a part of it was able to spread out.

The palace door opened, and a female cultivator with an ethereal and cold temperament, like a cloud in the sky, walked out slowly.

Cai Shiwei and Jiao Jinhan knew at a glance that she was Li Qiushuang, who possessed the top-grade wind spiritual root!
The woman said calmly,
"The ancestor summoned Cai Shiwei to come in!"

"Go ahead, I'll be waiting for you here."

Jiao Jinhan signaled with his eyes.

"Then I will go, Master..."

Cai Shiwei smiled, bowed to him again, and then strode up the steps towards the palace.

……

"How dare you, you evil beast!"

Without any warning, an old roar filled with shock, anger, and pain suddenly resounded through the gate of Zixuan Sect.

woohoo-

The howling wind suddenly spread from the sect’s highest mountain and turned into a shocking magical power.

But even so, a ray of blood light suddenly broke through all blockades amidst the faint and arrogant laughter, and flew away at an unimaginable speed.

Many disciples of Zixuan Sect were shocked and confused, and subconsciously looked up at the sky, and saw a scene that they would never forget in their lives.

The entire sect's formation was activated instantly!

For a moment, the wind and clouds surged, the surrounding void was blocked, and endless wind and clouds accompanied by rosy clouds surrounded the blood light from all directions, trying to crush it into slag.

But at this moment, a talisman with intricate seal characters flew out from the blood light. When it was activated, a large number of formation restrictions were instantly invalidated.

He actually managed to carve out a gap in the void blockade formed by the formation!
The blood light suddenly accelerated, penetrated into it, and disappeared.

After a moment of silence, the old and furious voice sounded again.

"From now on, Cai Shiwei will be listed as the highest reward in our sect..."

"Whoever takes his life will be accepted as my personal disciple and rewarded handsomely!"
