Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Li Ye looked at the golden-patterned tortoise shell hanging quietly in front of him, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he looked around with a look of joy and satisfaction.

On the dark green tortoise shell, the golden patterns flow and change, forming mysterious runes with a sense of wildness, which contain hidden power.

Although this treasure is now emitting golden light, its power is restrained and not revealed outwardly.

There was no way of even seeing the terrifying pressure that this treasure displayed when it was in Guo Tinghan's hands, which was unique to the ancient fifth-order golden tortoise.

At first glance, if you don't look too deeply into it, you would think it's just an ordinary magic weapon.

But even so.

Judging from the practice just now, the power of this treasure under Li Ye's control is even greater than when it is in Jin Lanzhou's hands.

Not only is it more agile, but it can also use more magical powers.

In terms of power alone, although this was just a practice attempt, it was already much stronger than the Wind and Fire Blade that Li Ye had practiced and improved with the Qinghua Wood Divine Fire and the Demon-Feeding Purple Flame!
And this was just an attempt. He had not pushed the treasure-controlling talisman he had refined to its limit.

If you control it with all your strength, even if you can't activate more magical powers of the golden-patterned tortoise shell, it is enough to increase its power.

At least he could not only use the treasure itself, which was far higher than his current level, to try to stimulate its power passively through hard fighting, but he could do it more freely.

"If I give it my all, perhaps in terms of sheer power, this treasure could even surpass the current Wood God Cauldron... If I run into a tough opponent, I can simply put the tortoise shell on myself and rely on its hardness to save my life!"

Li Ye teased with a smile.

As for the fact that it would be bad for his image and make him look like a coward... Guo Tinghan used it without any worries, so why would Li Ye be afraid of such a small matter?

Compared to that image that is nothing, as long as the magic weapon is strong enough to help him save his life, then everything will be fine!

The Nascent Soul holding the talismans covered with golden patterns in his body waved its chubby little hands and withdrew its magic power.

The golden-patterned tortoise shell also immediately dimmed, and the golden patterns gradually converged, returning to the appearance of a dark green tortoise shell.

After putting the treasure away, Li Ye's smile faded and a hint of thought appeared in his eyes.

The fact that the imperial talisman was effective proved that his idea was correct.

Even after making some minor adjustments, the effect is better than that of the original designer Guo Tinghan. It can be said to be quite practical!

If he continues his research along this line of thought, once he has further perfected the treasure-controlling talisman and has gained stronger magic power, he should be able to find a way to deceive the golden tortoise's spirit and completely refine the treasure for his own use.

By then, even if the golden tortoise spirit represented the spirituality of the treasure, since it had long lost its own consciousness and was just a carrier of power, it would not be able to defy the restrictions of the magic weapon and could only allow him to control it!
"Although the conditions for stimulating the Golden Turtle's spirit and making it manifest are very strict, now that I've reached the threshold, I can barely be considered to have a fifth-tier trump card... Even if I face a Divine Transformation, I can still secure enough of a chance to survive!"

Thinking of this, Li Ye couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"The golden-patterned tortoise shell is, after all, the remains of a fifth-tier demon beast, and even contains the same essence. Such conditions are incomparable to the Wood God Cauldron, which is also made of fifth-tier materials..."

When the Mother Tree of the Void Realm suppressed the void cracks, it consumed each other and its essence was actually greatly depleted.

Afterwards, he was bombarded to death by the blind attacks of Master Zixuan and Taoist Feiyu, and then fell into the hands of the demon Wuyuan, who tried to refine his demonic energy for many years. The losses he suffered were incalculable.

Even the Wood God Cauldron, forged from the heart of the tree, ultimately lacked some spirituality. In terms of both the material itself and the accumulated power, it was inferior to the Golden-Patterned Turtle Shell. It was impossible to achieve it overnight. To advance to the fifth level, one had to steadily cultivate the spiritual essence of plants and trees.

"Of course, it was also hindered by my cultivation level back then. Otherwise, it would have been at least a fourth-tier magical weapon, and I wouldn't have been promoted step by step..."

Li Ye smiled without any regret at all.

For him, it has to be suitable after all.

No matter how powerful a magic weapon is, it is meaningless even if it has the power of the fourth or even fifth level as soon as it is practiced.

He was only in the Golden Core stage at that time and couldn't control it!
As for now... the Wooden God Cauldron is actually not far from catching up with the fifth-level treasures such as the Golden-Patterned Turtle Shell.

Li Ye raised one hand, and the Wooden God Cauldron, which looked like jade and wood and was only slightly larger than his palm, appeared in his palm.

The plants and trees there wither and flourish in a cycle of endless change, and the pressure from the cauldron is so great that it has reached the fourth level!
And outside of Pingyang Mountain, he now has another Lingbie Island.

Its spiritual energy is as abundant as the former one, and it is connected to the water veins, which makes it quite nourishing. Compared with the blazing underground fire veins in Pingyang Mountain, it is much more suitable for cultivating spiritual plants!

Once he built the teleportation array, travel between the mountain and the island would be convenient, and the spiritual fields on both sides would produce at the same time.

Whether it is him or the Wood God Cauldron, both will enter a new era of cultivation and improvement with abundant resources.

Although it is more difficult to improve mana after cultivating to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, the accumulation of foundation required is more than doubled compared to the initial stage to break through to the middle stage...

But with such a foundation to support him, no matter how deep the ravines are, Li Ye has enough confidence to fill them and take another step forward!
"The Four Kingdoms are well-located, but they were originally quite remote. Even after the spiritual energy conditions were improved, they weren't very attractive..."

"The two sects outside the Myriad Beasts Mountains, the Tiantuo Sect and the Seven Demon Mountains, have also been intimidated and won over by me, and have barely become another barrier for me..."

"Even after the boundary barrier dissipates and borders the East China Sea, I have taken over some islands in the Yunshui Sea area to form a new sphere of influence..."

"Although there is still a possibility that forces from other seas may attack Lingbie Island, with my puppet clone in charge, even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would not be able to destroy it in the slightest. It basically has no impact on my daily practice..."

"Despite all these factors, I have finally built a fairly stable cultivation area for myself. Even minor disturbances cannot affect my peaceful cultivation!"

As for the unformed channel to the lower realm that was discovered earlier, after he mobilized his subordinates and allied forces to search, he did not find any other abnormalities.

Most of the time, it is just a coincidence, not a sign of real connection with other worlds.

Although he still hadn't completely let go of the matter, he finally felt much more relieved.

Now that we have initially mastered the golden-patterned tortoise shell, and Lingbie Island and the resource-related islands of the surrounding forces have all been taken, it is time to start preparing to build a teleportation array.

After thinking carefully, Li Ye couldn't help but feel a little expectant.

Unless they are monks who practice the way of killing, most people, even if they have many disputes, will still focus on seclusion and cultivation.

This battle was a complete victory, and I had obtained everything I wanted. Now I can settle down and manage my business, farm, and cultivate myself. (End of this chapter)
