Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 429: Sword Techniques
"Master, your order for us to find disciples of similar age with fire and wood spiritual roots has yielded results. The most talented among them are the male cultivators Kong Shoucheng, who has an earth-grade fire spiritual root, and Qiu Fang, who has an earth-grade wood spiritual root..."

"Qiu Fang is a disciple selected from the Red Mountains, while Kong Shoucheng is a mortal seeking immortal fate... We have investigated and both of them have clean backgrounds, and there is no hidden manipulation..."

"As for those with heavenly spiritual roots, there are currently no wood or fire spiritual roots... With the nourishment of the spiritual veins in our Red Land Mountains, perhaps within a hundred years, a newborn with heavenly wood spiritual roots will be born..."

Hong Yao whispered to Li Ye about the result of what he had told her not long ago.

As for the newborn's words, with her current fake elixir lifespan, she naturally looked further ahead.

Then she hesitated and asked curiously:
"Young Master, are you ordering us to search for young cultivators like this? Are you looking for some talented individuals to take on as disciples and train them to inherit your legacy?"

As the current ruler of the four countries, Li Ye's every move has an unimaginable impact on the outside world.

There were only a few scattered news about the selection of disciples in the mountains, but it attracted the attention of all the forces of the four countries, big and small. They contacted their friends in Pingyang Mountain and made arrangements to get their own monks in.

It’s okay for those sects, but after all, only a few of them really spend a lot of effort on this.

If we really send a disciple with good qualifications to Pingyang Mountain, we may have to cut off all contact with him. After all, if this disciple had a master in the past, he would really be favored by Master Li and accepted as his disciple. Do you, a foundation-building cultivator, have to be of the same generation as Master Li?

What's more, human hearts are unpredictable. If an insignificant disciple is able to climb up the ladder, he may not necessarily remember the good things of his original sect when he achieves real success.

Sending people to Pingyang Mountain would simply result in the loss of a talented person in the family, which might affect the fortunes of the entire sect in the future.

Therefore, the ones who really put in a lot of effort for this were the immortal cultivation families.

Compared to the sects that tend to keep talents in their own family, even if there is a little running around to select young talents for Pingyang as an act of currying favor, they all recommend their own children.

Blood ties are difficult to sever, and the origin of a child will never change even if he marries into a Pingyang Mountain family. However, if a family really has a disciple of Li Zhenjun, any family will immediately rise to prominence, and their status will be very different from then on!
Even if one has not yet achieved success in cultivation, he can still bring great benefits to the clan, which is naturally something people yearn for.

But they also didn't expect that Li Ye's order was not intended to recruit disciples from the beginning.

"Looking for someone to pass on your legacy?"

Li Ye asked in return, then smiled, "Haven't I already organized my many inherited arts into the library? Especially the Gu Dao, most of which I deduced on my own, making it a unique skill. All practitioners are considered to have inherited my legacy, so why should I look for others?"

Hong Yao was speechless after hearing this, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was no problem.

But if this is the case, there will be too many successors to the young master's legacy!
If those who have put in great efforts

Moreover, if he didn't intend to recruit disciples, then what was the point?

"Now that I've found them, you can pass down these two techniques on to me, and arrange for Kong Shoucheng and Qiu Fang to practice together to develop their tacit understanding... When they break through to the foundation-building stage, bring them to me."

Li Ye raised his hand and two jade slips appeared and floated towards Hong Yao.

The martial arts he was talking about was naturally the Songxia Sword Technique!
The complete content of this skill is actually that the cultivator directly sacrifices two flying swords, one fire and one wood, and controls them to attack together. The combination of wood and fire has tremendous power.

However, those who possess both wood and fire spiritual roots and possess good aptitude are few and far between. Such a technique would also be detrimental to the sect's development, so it was split into two sword techniques: the Red Cloud Sword Technique and the Green Pine Sword Technique. Anyone possessing either of these could choose to practice it, and even if it wasn't their primary cultivation, they could still gain some magical powers.

When the sects are fighting, it is convenient for the disciples to cooperate with each other.

However, Li Ye was attracted by the power of the two swords combined in this technique.

Although there is no intention to train a large number of disciples to practice this skill, it is not a bad idea to periodically find a few pairs of disciples with decent talents to try it out.

With the combined strength of the two elders Song Xia, who were at the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage and had a tacit understanding with each other, they could even resist a cultivator in the middle stage.

If the Seven Demon Mountains did not also have many Nascent Soul cultivators suppressing the sect, and the Twin Heart Flowers were not yet old enough to be used to refine pills to help their magic powers blend more closely and unleash greater power, they would not have been forced into such a desperate situation.

But Li Ye is now planting the Twin Heart Flowers, and it won't be long before he can rely on his spiritual essence to stably produce the Heart Pill, which is enough to help his disciples to blend their spiritual inspiration and magic power at a rate far exceeding that of ordinary cultivators who practice this technique.

As long as their qualifications are good enough and a pair of Nascent Souls appear, Li Ye will have an additional force under his command that can temporarily fight at a higher level.

There are conditions anyway. It would be a waste if the spiritual essence is continuously produced but not used. If you give it a try and get results, you will make a lot of money!
What is bestowed upon him now is only the chapter on Qi training, and a confidential poison must be set up to prevent it from being leaked, so naturally there is no risk.

Hong Yao took two sets of skills and vaguely understood Li Ye's idea.

"Those cultivators with fire and wood spiritual roots can continue to search for them. If suitable individuals are found, they can be arranged to practice this skill together. They can be trained as specialists and given appropriate resources and support..."

Li Ye casually instructed, his eyes slightly turned and he said, "I'll leave this matter to you, and make the arrangements first."

Hongyao knew that Li Ye had other important matters to attend to, so she immediately agreed obediently and left.

The next moment, the formation was activated, and a figure with blank facial features and a body covered in armor appeared in front of Li Ye.

"He just sent back a Jindan cultivator from the Yanshen Sect, and he's back so quickly. Is his efficiency really that high?"

Li Ye looked at his natal puppet which showed no signs of damage, and he could sense that there seemed to be something else sealed inside its body.

He immediately made hand seals with both hands, and his Nascent Soul escaped, and the Tiangong Puppet Control Technique was immediately synchronized with it.

……

After a while.

The natal puppet stood motionless beside it. Li Ye watched it open the heavily sealed gray-black Yuanying in its chest cavity, his eyes flickering.
"But I gained so much from just a short stroll. Are you really that lucky?"

Although he said so, he actually had more ideas.

They stumbled upon the activities of Yanshen Sect so easily. Even though this old demon cultivator was probably brought out as a follow-up to Chang Qihang, it still seemed quite unusual.

Is the Yanshen Sect acting so recklessly now?
