Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 71: The giant tree falls, and the devil appears! (Please read!)
"This kind of opportunity is truly rare. Perhaps we can even secure a chance to establish our foundation. Junior brother, will you really not go with us to explore it?"

Qu Zijian looked surprised and asked again.

The people who came excitedly looked at Li Ye with strange expressions.

"I'm a steady person and really don't like taking risks."

Li Ye shook his head calmly, took out a few jade bottles and handed them to the people in front of him.

"These Qi-restoring and healing pills are a small token of my appreciation. Please accept them... Li wishes all of you fellow disciples great success!"

He looked at the group of people whose expressions suddenly softened and smiled again.
"If you fellow disciples have any unused spiritual plant seeds or seedlings in that secret realm, please give me a chance to purchase them from you. Li Ye will be very grateful."

Qu Zijian looked at the jade bottle in his hand and couldn't help laughing when he heard what Li Ye said.
"Tsk! Even though you're not going, it's not a loss for us to be able to snatch some medicinal pills from you..."

After saying this, he and everyone else became serious.
"Thank you for the medicine, Junior Brother. If we come across something that works with you, we'll definitely bring it back and charge you a small fortune!"

"I couldn't ask for more!"

Li Ye bowed in response, and everyone burst into laughter.

……

After watching Qu Zijian and the others leave, Li Ye glanced around and saw that many cultivators in the market were in a hurry, with excitement on their faces, and most of them were heading in the same direction.

He couldn't help but shook his head.

The secret realm of the ancient tree appeared the day before yesterday when the two armies were fighting against each other in Yanyang Mountain. However, within two or three days, the news spread like wildfire in the two countries through various channels, attracting many cultivators to go and explore the secrets.

Even most of the disciples of Zixuan Sect were tempted and chose to go together.

"Now that secret realm has become the center of the storm, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator can't resist the temptation... The Li family's ancestor said he was waiting for my reply the day before yesterday, but he left yesterday!"

"I don't know how many people will be attracted to a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him. Why would I run over and join in the fun in this situation..."

Li Ye thought silently.

After all, he has a panel to rely on, and he can continue to reap the rewards by farming honestly, which can serve as nourishment for his practice.

Unless it was necessary, he really had no intention of joining in the fun!
"From what I've heard, I don't know the origins of that giant tree, but since it serves as the core of this secret realm, it might be some kind of spiritual root... If I could obtain its seeds or seedlings, they might be of great use to me!"

From this point of view, his wishes for Qu Zijian and others are sincere and heartfelt.

At this time, Li Ye had already made a vague decision in his mind.

If the ancestor of the Li family could return safely from the secret realm, he could totally accept his invitation and go to the Li family to farm for a while.

After all, farming and preparing for foundation building in a family with foundation building protection is much safer than his original plan to hide his identity and occupy a spiritual land of a powerful family that was completely destroyed in the war.

"I hope that old man will have better luck..."

Li Ye thought to himself.

…………

Yanyang Mountain, a secret place with ancient trees.

After a few days, the news of the emergence of the secret realm here spread widely, and a large number of cultivators from all sides gathered here. Even if the two sects joined forces, they could not completely monopolize it. Now it is a bustling place.

At this time, a beam of light quietly appeared, passing by the many monks below and going straight into the secret realm.

Everywhere they passed, there were signs of violent destruction, and corpses were hastily thrown to the roadside.

In some places, even the grass was stripped off, which was like plucking feathers from a passing goose!

Master Zixuan, who was controlling the escaping light, glanced at him with disdain, without stopping, and went deeper.

"This spiritual energy seems to contain vitality, which is slightly beneficial to an existence like me..."

"And this vitality is most likely emanating from the giant tree at the center of the formation!"

Breathing in spiritual energy, the old man in purple robe couldn't help but look up at the giant green tree, and a hint of eagerness flashed in his slightly turbid eyes.

Although it seems impossible to move the giant tree, if we can break the restriction and extract the essence of the tree heart for refining, it will surely be of great benefit!

Perhaps this would allow him to completely heal his injuries, halt his current decline, and live a few more years! As soon as this thought came to mind, Master Zixuan immediately gave up the idea of searching elsewhere.

Then a breeze emerged and wrapped around him, his speed increased instantly, and he turned into a shadow and disappeared into the distance.

……

"Senior Brother Qu is truly extraordinary. With a single strike of his sword, those casual cultivators are as vulnerable as chickens and dogs... These Fengxia Grasses are what I'm waiting for!"

The disciples praised him, but their eyes passed directly over the wandering cultivators who were killed on the spot, and they looked eagerly at the broad grass leaf in front of them that was faintly shining.

Swishing back the magic sword, Qu Zijian glanced at the spiritual grass and couldn't help but smile.

"Without you all, I alone would be unable to carry on. Let's quickly gather the spiritual herbs and take them away... If there are any grass seeds or the like, don't forget to save some for Junior Brother Li!"

As soon as Li Ye was mentioned, someone immediately started to complain subconsciously,
"It's such a shame Junior Brother Li didn't come here. This is such a great opportunity. The luck we've gained in the past two days is enough to make up for him refining pills for a long time... If he came in person, with his understanding of spiritual plants, we might even gain more!"

As soon as these words were spoken, others immediately echoed them. Although most of them had no ill intentions, they were unable to understand why Li Ye would rather miss the opportunity than take the risk.

Qu Zijian listened silently and couldn't help but sigh.

Li Ye has such great skills in alchemy that he has a bright future. Why should he take risks?
They are the only ones who are fighting here to get a chance to build their foundation!
…………

"Master Feiyu, are you sure that by destroying these forbidden formations, we can break the restrictions protecting this tree and reach its inner core?"

Master Zixuan looked a little suspicious as he looked from the point of the spire formation that had just been broken through to Taoist Feiyu on the other side.

"If it weren't for the fact that the formation here still has amazing protection after so many years, and that it cannot be broken without the combined efforts of a Golden Core, how could this old man be talking nonsense with you?!"

The Taoist Feiyu, whose hair was a mixture of black and white and who was wearing a feathered robe, spoke in a bad tone.

These two Jindan ancestors came here with the intention of occupying this secret realm alone to gain the greatest benefits.

They fought their way through the thorns and bushes and spent a lot of effort, but were stopped by the formation outside the giant tree and even ran into the enemy. Naturally, they were not in a good mood.

But with the cooperation of the two, there are only the last two formation nodes left, which can completely break the formation here. They couldn't help but shut up again and continued to use various means to bombard the remaining spires.

As the core of the formation here was broken bit by bit, the spatial structure of the entire secret realm seemed to change accordingly.

As the periphery was constantly being destroyed, the affected formation restrictions began to become increasingly unstable!

The two of them may have sensed something, but they didn't care at all, and soon the last node was broken.

As the formation vibrated, the giant tree shook, and green light continued to dissipate from its body, as if it was extremely painful and extremely unstable.

It's now!

The two Jindan attacked almost at the same time, launching their strongest attack to break the giant tree and shoot towards it at the same time.

Just when they were about to dig out the tree heart and fight for it.

As the formation was broken, the void where the giant tree was located suddenly collapsed, and its huge body was shaking. With the sudden tremor, seeds scattered from the branches and shot out in all directions.

Then, without the support of the formation and damaged by the collapse of space, the giant tree collapsed!

And right where the giant tree was originally, the space collapsed, and a dark, jumping, and stable space channel appeared.

A deep, evil, inky demonic energy suddenly surged out from it, quickly corrupting the surrounding environment and causing the vibrant green land to wither quickly.

Only the green flow on the giant tree remains unchanged.

Followed by.

Under the horrified gazes of the two Jindan, a hideous, dark and sharp devil's claw suddenly stretched out.

"demon!?"

"This... is this a passage to the lower realm? How is this possible?!"

Master Zixuan and Taoist Feiyu looked at each other, and both felt that they might have caused a big trouble!
