Cultivation begins with planting techniques

After the unfamiliar innate deacon came, Steward Pan has not shown up again, as if something has happened.

Li Ye didn't worry too much about it.

As the saying goes, when soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it. With the Holy Tree Walker reaching level ten, he was able to protect himself.

Even if Old Man Pan suddenly attacked him, he was not afraid at all.

Relatively speaking, what is more important to him now is that he relies on the forest he planted with his own hands, using formations to guide it, combined with the evil energy nurtured by the earth's veins.

Although many of the world's inauspicious pits are naturally formed by heaven and earth, they have many conditions that cannot be easily met.

But what he practices is the Wood Element Technique.

The five elements of evil energy are often related to the environment. For example, fire evil energy is often nurtured in the fire of the earth, while metal evil energy is mostly condensed in mineral veins.

This Green Wood Evil can naturally be cultivated directly from the wood energy gathered in the dense forest.

It was somewhat challenging when the forest area was smaller.

However, nearly half of the valley where Li Ye is now located has been covered by the forests planted by him and other spirit farmers. This scale not only meets the needs of the Green Wood Demon, but even has a surplus.

To this day, a considerable amount of Green Wood Evil has accumulated on the mountain beneath Li Ye's feet.

However, he was still somewhat dissatisfied with this.

While the five elements of malevolent energy are common and reliable, the quality of a single malevolent energy is merely ordinary; only when all five elements are combined can it be considered truly excellent.

Considering that he will have to switch to cultivating the Longevity Sword Manual after his innate talent, although he was born from the wood element, he is not just confined to the wood element.

A simple green wood sha is naturally inferior.

Therefore, he now intends to use the transformation of his Void Tree to guide the great formation, further refine the already condensed Azure Wood Fiend, and improve its grade and properties, so as to use it as a spiritual object for his breakthrough to the Innate Realm.

After these days of nurturing, one of the techniques is almost ready to take shape.

"Once this energy is fully formed, I can immediately break through to the Innate Realm. No matter what changes occur, they will be of little use to me then..."

After taking a stroll through the forest and clearing away the woody air, Li Ye returned to the treehouse, leaned back in a deckchair, and began to think leisurely.

As a manifestation of the unity of all bodies, even with the barriers of the world, its consciousness is completely synchronized with the original.

He didn't really need leisure or entertainment. His visits to the restaurants in the outer courtyard market were more about gathering information and intelligence than about resting.

All pleasures are enjoyed by the deity on Pingyang Mountain; one only needs to act as a machine for spiritual practice.

His diligence on a daily basis truly impressed all the spiritual farmers in the herb garden.

After only a short rest, he quickly got up again, preparing to transform into the form of a tree spirit and begin his cultivation.

Logically speaking, given his cultivation experience, his foundation should have been extremely solid during the cultivation process, so advancing to the Innate Realm should not have been difficult.

To be on the safe side, we should try our best to avoid any oversights, and we still cannot neglect the daily refinement of our magical power.

As soon as he stood up, intending to adjust the formation slightly to conceal the situation inside the treehouse, Li Ye's gaze changed slightly.

The woods outside sent him a warning, triggering the warning measures he had set up with a formation...

At that moment, someone concealed their presence and was rapidly approaching his location.

"Weren't you in no hurry before, intentionally building up your strength first? Why did you choose to make your move so soon? Could it be that the person earlier said something to this old man Pan..."

Li Ye muttered something, with a slight doubt.

But he had already taken all precautions, so although it was a bit abrupt, he was not flustered at all.

As his thoughts raced, an ironwood staff appeared in Li Ye's hand, which he then thrust into the center of the treehouse's array. Subtly, the wood energy throughout the entire forest shifted slightly.

………………

Looking at the lush, already quite large forest, even though it was something he had personally promised, a hint of surprise flashed in Pan Yuexing's eyes.

This kid is so diligent in planting trees; it hasn't been long, and he's already planted such a large forest.

Moreover, these trees are growing too well; they don't look like they were planted recently.

His talent for tending to spiritual plants is truly extraordinary!
But the more this was the case, the more determined Pan Yuexing's eyes became.

Given his talent related to the wood element and the foundation of his cultivation technique being the Green Wood Sword Technique, it's likely that seizing his magical foundation would be more effective in repairing the damage to my cultivation.

At this point, Pan Yuexing no longer sought the best results, but rather to prolong his life and live a few more years.

He only wanted to restore his cultivation and combat power as much as possible so that he could find the villain who killed Junior Sister Shao and make him pay for his crime in blood!
Although cultivators in the world are limited by the resources available for cultivation, they inevitably have a cold and selfish nature. Even if they have deep feelings for someone, very few of them will risk their lives for another.

Pan Yuexing believed that he had only a handful of close friends in his life, and Junior Sister Shao was one of them.

I won't go into the details of his feelings when he was young. Ever since his foundation was damaged and he had no way to heal himself, he gave up on himself and came to this herb garden. He has never seen Junior Sister Shao again.

Even when the other party came to visit, he avoided seeing them.

But the friendships we shared in the past are, after all, real.

He could not ignore the blood feud of his junior sister Shao.

Especially since he already had little lifespan left, even if he seized Li Ye's magical foundation, the actual effect might not be able to extend his lifespan by much.

I've been reflecting on these days all by myself.

Faced with such a blood feud, Pan Yuexing had the idea that he might as well take a gamble and live up to the promise he made when he was young!
The prerequisite for achieving this is to seize Li Ye's magical foundation so that he can heal himself!

Passing through the lush forest, Pan Yuexing, concealing his escape light, quietly landed on the hilltop where Li Ye had built the treehouse.

He glanced at the simple formation of trees around him and gave a disdainful smile.

'This child is consistently cautious and diligent, and even knows some of the secrets of array formations, using them to create an excellent environment for his cultivation...'

'But those guys can't see through your little trick; they're too weak to stop this old man!'

With a sweep of his divine sense, the flaws in this simple formation were immediately apparent.

Pan Yuexing casually unleashed a few sword energies, silently breaking through the formation without even causing a ripple.

He swaggered forward, about to push open the treehouse's door, which was practically useless.

But the door was pushed open first, and a handsome young man with a fresh aura, close to the surrounding plants and trees, stepped out.

Zhengzheng's eyes met Pan Yuexing's.

Li Ye looked surprised.

"Steward Pan, what brings you here so late at night? I am so sorry for not greeting you properly!"

Pan Yuexing looked at the young man, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"I have found out about that malevolent energy for you, and I was just about to come and tell you, and also to check on your progress in cultivation..."

He smiled kindly, approaching Li Ye like an elder, and suddenly a powerful surge of magical energy erupted from his hand, pressing down on the young man. (End of Chapter)
