Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Within the Ancient Tree Realm, Heavenly Sword Sect, Spirit Herb Garden.

Li Ye appeared to be carefully tending to the spiritual plant in front of him, but if someone were observing him, they would notice that he seemed slightly distracted.

The joy in his eyes, which were not focused on the spiritual plant, was quite intense.

At this moment, the main body was organizing the array diagrams of the Southern Dipper Evergreen Technique and the Southern Dipper Evergreen Sword Formation. However, after a cursory glance, insights began to emerge.

All these gains not only supplemented the original body's unique achievements in the Way of Wood, beyond the Wood God Technique.

This is also of great benefit to his clone.

As for the Southern Dipper Evergreen Sword Formation, a sword technique derived from the same wood element vitality, it has great reference value given that the clone has not yet obtained the Longevity Sword Manual.

This would allow him to express himself in swordsmanship and enhance his swordsmanship skills.

Once the Longevity Sword Manual is obtained, the two, being different techniques of the same path, can learn from each other, improve each other, and thus take another step forward!
Regarding the changes in the Way of Life and Death, Li Ye also found a handbook and a few secret treasures with withered and deathly aura among those left by Du Yi'an.

Compared to the dark blue nail he used to attack Li Ye back then, this one was even purer and possessed extraordinary power.

If Li Ye hadn't been so domineering, suppressing him without giving him a chance to launch a sneak attack, he might have been able to witness Li Ye's trump card again, just like back then.

With these secret treasures of death energy, supplemented by the manual and the Southern Dipper Evergreen Technique, and given Li Ye's existing achievements in the path of life, death, decay, and prosperity, it would be even easier to integrate the changes of life and death and cultivate the unique Life and Death Sword Manual using the Longevity Sword Manual.

Once you acquire the Burning Sun Wood and the feedback from the entry is solidified, you can directly immerse yourself in the perspective of the ancient tree, repeatedly contemplate its power, and understand its extraordinary abilities.

This allows one's tree spirit to transform into an additional form of heaven and earth spiritual root, in addition to the Void Tree and the Purifying Willow.

He can condense golden flames from burning Yang wood, which is a supernatural power with some characteristics of true solar fire. Once he achieves it, he will be the number one fighter!

If swordsmanship is added, it can evolve into a supernatural power that surpasses even the fiery sword energy transformed from the Southern Dipper Evergreen Sword Formation by Du Yi'an!
"The purpose of creating clones is to nourish the main body. My clone hasn't found the Ancient Tree of the Void yet, but it has received a lot of assistance from the main body. It seems I still need to speed things up..."

Li Ye smiled, his thoughts returning to their original focus, and his gaze refocused on the willow tree in front of him.

This tree was cultivated by him based on the willow tree, refining the essence of the purifying willow through its own transformations, and after many attempts at various spiritual plants, he cultivated it in a targeted manner.

This is similar to the tree spirit that Li Ye encountered in the secret realm of the Wood God Sect's side hall.

These are all mutations that occur after being imbued with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

However, unlike the tree spirit which merely used this power to advance its own level, Li Ye's goal was to solidify this supernatural ability and turn it into a new species.

This willow tree is highly adaptable to various environments, grows rapidly, and is easy to cultivate.

Although it is far from achieving the exaggerated effect of the Purifying Willow, which, even at a low rank, can emit a radiant light that clears away the turbid and impure air within its range.

Even the effect of a single tree is probably only to remove and purify about one or two tenths of the impure and chaotic air around it.

However, if the scale is large enough, the concentration effect can reduce the amount of polluted air in the forest by about 30% to 40%!

And this was when the tree was still at a relatively low level.

If it can be cultivated to the point of accumulating hundreds or even thousands of years of tree age, its efficacy can be enhanced and transformed again, reaching nearly 70% or 80%!

Even if it's impossible to completely change the situation where the turbid and impure energy of this world is completely mixed with spiritual energy and is omnipresent, it can still bring about a qualitative change in the cultivation environment!
"My years of cultivation have finally paid off; the seeds from this tree have developed stable characteristics, forming a completely new tree species..."

Li Ye withdrew his gaze, looked around at the small grove of trees that he had concealed with an array, and the old farmer's joy of a bountiful harvest reappeared in his eyes.

This grand formation only serves to shield and isolate, preventing anyone from approaching rashly; it has no other effect whatsoever. However, the spiritual energy within this willow grove is exceptionally fresh and pure.

Although there is still some turbid and impure energy mixed in, it is far superior to most spiritual environments in this world!
Any cultivator who came would be overjoyed!
Once this tree has grown, it's time to use it as a stepping stone to advance myself and obtain what I need!
………………

"This……"

"You've cultivated all of these over the past few years?"

The head of the Pill Hall, a seemingly shrewd old man, looked at the willow grove in front of him with a dazed expression, as if he couldn't believe it.

Beside him, Lian Yang felt the extremely pure spiritual energy around him, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Just when Li Ye, who usually kept to himself, suddenly went to the Pill Hall to report something to the hall master, he was puzzled because Li Ye had not made any moves since his breakthrough.

Just like his breakthrough to the Innate Realm at the age of twenty-two, it was merely a fleeting moment of brilliance.

So they followed him, wanting to see what he had done that warranted such secrecy.

Unexpectedly, he cultivated a willow grove that could dispel impurities and bring pure spiritual energy!

If this tree could be spread and planted all over the mountain, the spiritual environment of the Heavenly Sword Sect would likely undergo a qualitative change immediately.

The benefits it brings are immeasurable, and it may give the Heavenly Sword Sect a huge advantage in the future, gradually surpassing all other sects in this world!
Under the complicated gazes of the two, Li Ye nodded, "That's right! I'll name this tree the Purifying Spirit Willow..."

The Pure Willow, derived from the Sweet Dew Willow Branch, is still considered a subspecies of the spiritual root of heaven and earth.

This Pure Spirit Willow is derived from the Pure Turbid Willow, but it lacks that mysterious supernatural power and is merely an ordinary spiritual plant.

But the name is consistent with the previous one.

"A single tree may not be very effective, but once it forms a forest, it can undergo a qualitative change within its area..."

"Willow trees are easy to grow; willow catkins can spread naturally, and willow cuttings can be used for propagation, making large-scale cultivation quite efficient..."

Listening to his eloquent speech, the head of the Pill Hall gave Li Ye a deep look.

He was still filled with disbelief, but if what Li Ye said was true, this matter was indeed of great importance.

The old man spoke in a deep voice: "This matter of Jingling Liuzi is of great importance. Does anyone else know about it?"

“No,” Li Ye said.

The old man's expression grew even more satisfied. "Come with me now, we'll go see the sect leader immediately!"

He looked quite solemnly at Lian Yang beside him and said, "You come too."

Lian Yang knew that his involvement would make him a potential source of information about the tree, so he naturally agreed without hesitation.

The three of them, without stopping, went to pay their respects to He Shuyuan, the leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The latter was also greatly shocked when he saw the Pure Spirit Willow.

Even he hadn't expected that Li Ye, who had broken through to the Innate Realm at the age of twenty-two and then remained silent, would cultivate such a spiritual plant in just a few years! (End of Chapter)
