Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Li Ye was naturally quite satisfied with Cheng Zhe's attitude.

For him now, although he has no intention of actually conquering everywhere and establishing such a huge force.

Taking over Lingbie Island and having a certain indirect influence on the entire Yunshui Sea area, it would be enough to harvest some spiritual plants and spiritual materials from areas outside of one's own territory from time to time.

But even at this point, Li Ye still had a lot more things to attend to.

Especially since the spirit plants under his command are still growing, only a few of them can take charge and share his worries.

Among the disciples trained normally in the mountain gate, only Kong Shoucheng and Qiu Fang, who were the first to be supported, broke through the Golden Core stage and were able to guard a region.

The only one who can use the Nascent Soul combat power is Lao Niu!
You can't just let the puppet clones solve all the problems except him, right?

Now, under the effect of the [Concentricity] entry, the puppet clone is equivalent to himself, and he still needs to focus on it.

With Cheng Zhe being a non-staff member who is willing to join us, it would be just right to let him handle some matters that are not so important but require the intervention of a Nascent Soul cultivator!

This person had already demonstrated his abilities when he arranged the battle lines and assisted in completing the teleportation array. His responses to the Demon King Shen Xuan this time proved himself to a certain extent.

Li Ye has already decided to accept this person's allegiance.

He thought about it, and before Zhang Wanjun took out his own lobster demon king's demon pill, he simply accepted the demon pill offered by Cheng Zhe.

But he did not stop there. Instead, he flipped his hand and a jade bottle appeared in his palm.

"Having received Brother Cheng's support and his demon pill, I, Li, naturally cannot remain silent in expressing my gratitude..."

He smiled and said, "This Pure Yuan Pill is what I cultivated by integrating the five elements. It should be of some benefit to the cultivation of cultivators in the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage, so I am giving it to Brother Cheng!"

As he said this, he used his magic power far superior to Cheng Zhe's to stuff the pill into his hand.

Cheng Zhe was about to say something, but saw Li Ye's serious face:
"Without the efforts of the two Daoists, I alone would have been unable to break the situation just now. Please keep the gains from this battle!"

"Although a demon pill is precious, it is still far inferior to the friendship between you and me, Brother Cheng!"

Li Ye patted Cheng Zhe's shoulder and said in a deep voice:

"As long as Brother Cheng doesn't let me down, I will not treat Brother Cheng unfairly!"

Cheng Zhe was slightly stunned, then suddenly understood what he meant, and suddenly he was filled with joy. He unconsciously tightened his grip on the jade bottle and immediately bowed.
"I will definitely live up to Brother Li's trust. If you entrust me with anything, I will do my best!"

Li Ye nodded and helped him up with a smile.

After saying this, Cheng Zhe felt more confident and removed the seal on the jade bottle in his hand without hesitation and opened the seal.

Immediately, little sparks of firefly-like light floated out of the bottle, accompanied by a peaceful and restrained fragrance.

With a gentle sniff, he absorbed the little bit of spiritual light into his body, and felt that the warm and peaceful medicinal power was easily absorbed into his body, which gave his magic power an extremely subtle improvement.

However, a little bit of the elixir fragrance that escapes has such an effect. The medicinal power is even mild and easy to refine and absorb. It does not require too much time to refine. It is simply an excellent elixir for replenishing cultivation!
"I've heard for a long time that Brother Li is renowned for his mastery of both alchemy and formations. His formations have already deeply impressed me, and now his alchemy skills are even more astonishing. Brother Li is truly a talent! I, Cheng, would be grateful for your kindness!"

Cheng Zhe's face became even happier, and he thanked Li Ye again.

Originally, he was a little hesitant about offering the demon pill, and was not as decisive as he appeared.

After all, for a casual cultivator like him, even with his impressive array skills, a demon pill of the same rank was still quite rare. However, for Cheng Zhe, who had already intended to cultivate in the East China Sea, joining Li Ye and gaining his support was more important, so he was willing to give it away.

But compared to this pure Yuan Dan, the demon pill of the lobster demon king is nothing at all!

Now that he has gained Li Ye's recognition and received the elixir from him, it is a double blessing for Cheng Zhe.

It's really worth it to exchange these for just a demon pill used to show attitude!

For a moment, the choice that was made after weighing the pros and cons, now felt a little more like belonging.

Even though he had to be ordered around, being able to serve under a figure like Li Ye did not faze him at all.

The benefits are immeasurable!
Zhang Wanjun, who was standing by, also smelled a hint of the elixir's fragrance, and the circulation of the magic power in her body immediately accelerated slightly, and she seemed to be ready to make some moves.

Even without taking it in her hands to see it, she knew that it was a rare and excellent elixir!
But this pill was the gift from Cheng Zhe to Li Ye after he took the demon pill he presented to him.

She had already hesitated and was a step slower. Now that she was offering the demon pill, didn't it mean that she was going for the spiritual pill?

What's more, she is an elder of the Tiantuo Sect. Even if she wants to make peace with Li Ye, there is no chance of that happening. It is absolutely impossible for her to act like a casual cultivator like Cheng Zhe and flatter him in order to find a backer!
So she subconsciously stopped taking the demon pill, but still felt a little regretful when she recalled the fragrance of the pill.

Even the alchemy elders of her Tiantuo Sect cannot refine such an elixir!

Even though this attack on the Yunshui Sea area yielded considerable gains, we still cannot ignore such excellent elixirs.

Unfortunately……

Zhang Wanjun sighed inwardly, regretting not being able to follow Cheng Zhe's actions in time.

As Li Ye's background gradually showed before him, even though it was more utilitarian, his admiration for him gradually deepened.

The three of them only exchanged a few words, cleaned up the battlefield briefly, and then boarded the flying boat again and left.

………………

After some time, the news that Li Ye had killed another mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator spread again in the Yunshui Sea.

And this time, the enemy killed was not even a human cultivator, but the Shenxuan Demon King who was quite famous among the sea monsters!

This record, even compared with the many killings he committed after coming to the Yunshui Sea, is second only to Guo Tinghan.

Amidst the turmoil, some forces that had some ideas about setting up a teleportation array for him but were still hesitant were frightened and completely stopped, not daring to do anything unnecessary.

With such great magical powers, the teleportation arrays laid out will soon be completely connected, greatly shortening the distance between southern Xinjiang and the East China Sea.

Li Ye completely occupied a place in the Yunshui Sea Area, replacing Lingbie Island, and his momentum to dominate this sea area is unstoppable!

In this situation, even though there were a large number of Nascent Soul cultivators in Tiantuo Sect and Qimo Mountain, and the performance of the areas allocated by the strategy was also good, they were still firmly suppressed by him.

In addition to Cheng Zhe, even some local forces in the Yunshui Sea area began to cautiously contact Pingyang Mountain and expressed their intention to surrender, hoping to use Li Ye's power to maintain their foothold in this chaotic period to avoid being overturned by the wind and waves.

As this progressed, the entire situation in the Yunshui Sea area was developing into what Li Ye had hoped for, and it was about to become his ideal backyard. (End of this chapter)
