Cultivation begins with planting techniques

In the cultivation world, many joint explorations can maintain mutual support and cooperation throughout the process, but when it comes to resolving crises and dividing the spoils, internal strife is easily triggered by unequal distribution of profits.

But Li Ye and his group shouldn't have ended up like this.

After a fierce battle, Meng Jingde and Xingchenzi were seriously injured. Bai Minghua's use of the Six Desires Demon Body to replenish his energy in this ancient world was limited. Even after taking pills, he was still in poor condition.

Only Li Ye's actions, which mostly involved mobilizing external forces, consumed limited personal energy.

He still looks to be in great shape.

For the other three, the pressure was actually quite great.

Originally, Xingchenzi's plan was that as long as he retrieved the Star Stone Token, he could at least escape back to the old site of the Holy Star Sect if things went wrong.

But who knew that the ravine had somehow connected to something else, and the sinister energy, no longer suppressed, was now gushing out and clashing with the even more out-of-control Star Array Restriction, creating a scene of utter devastation.

Let alone him, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would likely lose half their life if they entered!

Under these circumstances, it's already quite good that Li Ye didn't attack them; the fact that he still managed to divide the spoils according to the agreement is truly commendable!

"As previously agreed, we will divide this meteorite crystal into four equal parts, return the two inheritances to Fellow Daoist Xingchenzi, and you will copy the Star Refining Divine Technique to the three of us... Any objections?"

Li Ye asked with a faint smile.

"Nothing!"

The other three all agreed, secretly relieved.

With the return of the inherited Starfire and the delivery of the Star Refining Divine Technique, Star Child also used the Star Stone Token to divide the incredibly sturdy meteorite crystal equally, with each person receiving a portion.

All their objectives were achieved, and they even gained an extra fifth-tier spiritual item, bringing smiles to the faces of the four.

Only Xingchenzi, who had retrieved the three inherited starfires, glanced at Li Ye, a slightly strange look in his eyes.

The conflict between Yin energy and stellar power within the former site of the Holy Star Sect continues, showing a tendency to spread outwards without restraint.

It is foreseeable that as the power of the stars, now without a source, is gradually worn away, the energy gushing from that ravine will engulf this area.

This place will become a wasteland in the future.

However, this matter is no longer relevant to Li Ye and his group.

Having obtained the items, the four of them did not linger and left before the teleportation array was affected.

After returning to the Holy Star Sect and collecting its accumulated scriptures, he embarked on his journey back to the mortal realm.

They didn't even offer to stay temporarily to heal their wounds, showing no intention of lingering at all!
………………

"Thank you three fellow Daoists for keeping your promise. Xingchenzi is deeply grateful!"

Crossing the descent passage and feeling the abundant, pure spiritual energy of the human realm, which was free of any sense of decay, Xingchenzi solemnly thanked Li Ye and the other two.

"If my Holy Star Sect can establish itself in the mortal realm in the future, we will definitely stand together with the three of you and help each other without harming each other in the slightest!"

"Fellow Daoist Xingchenzi, you're too kind. This is what we agreed upon... Just remember what you said today!"

Meng Jingde said calmly.

As he said this, Li Ye and Bai Minghua's gazes fell on him, and Xingchenzi felt a chill run down his spine:
"I will certainly remember this!"

He's not stupid.

This time at the former site of the Holy Star Sect, it seemed that the spoils were split equally, with Xingchenzi reclaiming all the sect's inheritance.

However, Li Ye and the other two are all cultivators from the Southern Border. Even if breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is difficult, with the aid of a spiritual object like the Meteorite Crystal, the effect of the Star Refining Divine Technique in refining the Nascent Soul will be greatly enhanced.

The chances of a successful breakthrough will also increase. Even if only two of them break through to the Nascent Soul stage, the foundation of the Southern Frontier will directly surpass the other four regions of the mortal realm.

If one of them is Li Ye, the deterrent effect will be even greater.

Without enormous benefits, how could they possibly harbor any ill intentions towards southern Xinjiang!
After Xingchenzi finished speaking, he immediately took his leave. Even when Xingchenzi tried to persuade him to stay and recuperate for a while, Xingchenzi simply declined.

The gentleman does not stand under the wall.

Since Meng and Bai were unwilling to use the Holy Star Sect for healing, how could he dare to stay here for too long?

If they change their minds, they could take his life immediately. To be on the safe side, it would be better to find another place to heal his wounds before heading to Zhongzhou.

However, before leaving, Xingchenzi hesitated for a moment, but still quietly transmitted a few words to Li Ye through divine sense.

Li Ye raised an eyebrow and replied telepathically, "Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist."

The two exchanged a smile, and Xingchenzi immediately flew away.

Although Meng Jingde and Bai Minghua were unable to hear the content of the telepathic communication, they still discovered their exchange and couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Li Ye and Xingchenzi didn't seem to have any prior private communication, so why did they suddenly do this?

But since Li Ye didn't say anything, they had no way of asking.

"This trip has been a great success, and I, Li, will now return to Pingyang Mountain... I wish you two fellow Daoists a smooth breakthrough!"

Li Ye smiled and took his leave.

"Thank you for your kind words, Brother Li. Let us meet again when we reach the Nascent Soul stage!"

Meng Jingde and Bai Minghua also smiled.

………………

After leaving the outpost, Li Ye stood on the flying boat, his smile widening slightly.

"As expected, Xingchenzi saw through my tampering with the Earth Immortal Technique inheritance, Xingying, and glimpsed its contents..."

"However, he was quite sensible; he only offered a few reminders to ensure the method wouldn't be leaked again, and then said nothing more..."

Having mastered the Thousand Thoughts Divine Evolution Technique, he kept studying the seal of the inherited Starfire while he was putting it away. Eventually, he found some loopholes, which allowed his divided spirit to enter and read all the contents.

He has already memorized that Earth Immortal Technique!
However, the content is profound and mysterious, and one needs to carefully study it to fully understand the whole text.

At first glance, this only confirms that this method is one of the immortal cultivation methods, the Earth Immortal lineage, which allows one to establish a personal blessed land to form the foundation for cultivation.

This ingenious method perfectly matches the abilities of Li Ye's panel.

Once you achieve this, you can cultivate spiritual plants with you at any time, and their wonderful uses are simply immeasurable!
If he didn't know, so be it; but since he had already gleaned some information, he naturally wanted to find a way to obtain it.

Even though he failed to seize the technique during the attack in the library, Li Ye still had to make a secret move to take it after everything was settled!

Since Xingchenzi tacitly approved of him taking over the inheritance, he can be considered to have escaped a calamity.

"Is the risk of simply trying to establish a blessed land of spirits really this high...?"

Li Ye recalled what Xingchenzi had said before leaving: "We must contend with the power of the realm and use its pressure to strengthen ourselves. But if there is any mistake, the backlash from the realm's power will not only annihilate us on the spot, but also cause changes to the region we are in..."

"The reason why the old site of the Holy Star Sect became like that is because the former Supreme Elder failed in his attempt to condense a spiritual domain blessed land, which almost caused the entire Holy Star Sect to be destroyed by a backlash from the domain..."

The thought of suffering a backlash from another realm made Li Ye's heart tremble, and he dared not be careless.

"After returning to Pingyang Mountain, I will first thoroughly understand the two techniques I have acquired before making any further plans..." (End of Chapter)
