Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 97 Another year

Time flies, another year has passed.

A flat cliff near the top of Changcui Mountain.

Crackle, clackle, clackle.

The sound of gurgling water continues, snowflakes fall from the sky, the rising heat from the hot spring melts all the coldness, and the rich water vapor floats, tactfully obscuring the beautiful scenery in the pool.

Since there are such abundant underground fire resources, Li Ye naturally will not just use it to make pills.

In the past, the Lan family lacked the means and did not know how to use it, but Li Ye could directly use the formation to mobilize the geothermal heat to build a hot spring pool in the mountains.

It’s really a pleasure!
Most of Lan Xinyi's body was submerged in the hot spring, with only a little white skin faintly visible in the flowing steam.

Her face was rosy, and she pressed herself against Li Ye softly. She picked up the wine glass and raised her head and whispered,
"Li Lang... It's a new year... I wish you a bountiful harvest this year and great progress in your cultivation..."

Li Ye took another wine glass and clinked it with hers.
"I also hope that you can make further progress and bring the Lan family back to its peak soon..."

After these words were spoken, Lan Xinyi's face became even redder, but her eyes were as charming as silk.

If the Lan family wants to return to its peak, it must have a large population of cultivators.

She and Lan Ming were the only two members of the family's legitimate lineage left. Lan Ming was still young, so it was only her, as the older sister, who had to work hard first...

Thinking of this, the girl pressed closer...

The water vapor surged, and the faint sound of water became more intense again.

…………

"call……"

Exhale a white breath.

With her long hair loose and her robe casually draped over her, Li Ye, feeling refreshed, walked barefoot on the mountain grass, walking slowly as if taking a leisurely stroll.

Although snowflakes were falling from the sky, covering the ground with a layer of silver, he seemed not to feel the cold and looked relaxed.

Li Ye is becoming more and more familiar with Lan Xinyi's tricks, and he is willing to work hard for her, so he naturally notices it.

But he had never thought of leaving behind any offspring here. Relying on his current body cultivation skills to control his Qi, blood, and essence, as well as the dual cultivation secrets given by Senior Brother Hu, he would not give away even a single bit of his life essence...

Naturally, there is no way to talk about offspring.

It's a mutually beneficial relationship, a joyful one, so it's better not to get too involved...

Walking step by step, Li Ye soon arrived in front of the Sky World Tree.

After such a long time, the tree has been deeply imbued with spiritual energy and has now grown to more than ten meters tall.

The purple trunk and branches are thick, and the jade-like leaves are extremely lush, like a canopy.

The faint silver lines have been completely integrated into the tree and no longer appear easily.

The power it contains is almost at the peak of the first level, but due to the limitation that the spiritual energy here is only at the first level, the growth rate has slowed down a lot.

Without a second-level spiritual vein, it would be difficult to break through!
The boundary power possessed by this tree has become much stronger than before. Although it is still fragile, the power derived from its connection with the formation makes the Green Vine and Green Wood Formation even more unfathomable.

"Happy New Year to you too..."

Gently stroking the trunk, Li Ye felt the connection between himself and the tree, and a vague feeling arose.

[The fourth-tier spiritual plant [Jianmu subspecies·Sky Realm Tree Strain] that you are connected to has grown, its understanding has deepened, and its spiritual essence has solidified by +0.2%...]
As the Sky Realm Tree grew, the amount of solidified spiritual energy Li Ye gained every day also increased.

He originally estimated that it would take about three years to complete the solidification accumulation, but after taking into account the past accumulation, it would be completed in less than a year.

But today is different.

[You used the Blood Refining Technique to care for the fourth-tier spiritual plant [Jianmu Subspecies: Sky Realm Tree Sapling], allowing it to complete a cycle of growth rings. Experience +500...]
[......]
[The fourth-level spiritual plant [Jianmu subspecies·Sky Realm Tree Strain] completes one growth ring accumulation. You gain [Sky Realm Spiritual Essence]*1...]
A year later, the Sky Realm Tree once again provided experience points and spiritual essence feedback. "I've finally been waiting for this..."

Li Ye's eyes were filled with joy as he slowly sat down with his back against the Sky Realm Tree.

As he thought about it, the spiritual essence of the void emerged and was taken directly into his body.

That long-lost moment was deeply engraved in his mind, like the power of a spring breeze that flowed directly into his body, deepening his vitality and at the same time increasing his lifespan by one year!
"Every year I lose my lifespan, it's replenished... so wouldn't that mean I've already achieved immortality in a sense?"

Gradually coming back to his senses from the comfort of being back in his mother's arms, Li Ye couldn't help but think.

This Sky World Tree is truly magical!

Li Ye stood up and moved around a bit, his blood and energy became active, and he felt as full of vitality as the young sun.

"If this continues, apart from anything else, I feel that in the long run, this body's physical talent will continue to improve and optimize with each refining of the spiritual essence of the void world..."

The vitality enhanced by the spiritual essence of the void world directly allows Li Ye's body to always be in the most suitable stage for improvement. Not only will his qi and blood never decline, they will even be constantly optimized!

Although he has not yet collected the appropriate blood of the elephant fairy, with this kind of nourishment, Li Ye feels that he does not need to use blood to complete the final content of the practice.

I'm afraid it won't be long before I can rely on resources like Qi and Blood Pills to push my body cultivation to perfection...

And this will most likely be faster than him cultivating his magical powers to perfection!
"If this continues, after building my foundation, if there is no other way to go, I might even have to consider focusing on physical training!"

Li Ye joked, and while he was in good condition, he decisively devoted himself to cultivation.

…………

"Master, thanks to you, the growth of this blood rice has completely surpassed all the spiritual rice I have ever seen. The yield this time will surely be astonishing..."

Fang Ze and Xiong Li looked at the figure in front of them who looked like a jade-like young man but still dignified, and their attitude became more respectful, speaking from the bottom of their hearts.

"This is also the result of your two careful care."

Li Ye praised it, picked up a piece of full wheat ear and nodded with satisfaction.

When Li Ye moved into this mountain, it was already too late to plant the blood rice.

His Green Vine and Green Wood Formation did not have the ability to control the seasons like a third-order formation, so he only planted one season in nearly a year.

Fortunately, the adjustment will be made this year and the two seasons can be restored.

He had already harvested the spiritual essence and experience points when it matured, which was no different from what he had gained from previous maturity. It seems that the feedback from first-level spiritual plants also has an upper limit.

Now all that was left was the harvest to verify his original conjecture.

Li Ye took off his robe casually, and Fang Ze beside him quickly took it. He rolled up his sleeves and took the sickle from Xiong Li.

"Master, please let us handle this kind of task..."

The two of them were slightly surprised and hurried to catch up.

Could it be that such a person would be afraid that they would hide the wheat ears during the harvest, so he would have to do it himself?
"No problem... I just like to harvest it myself."

Li Ye ignored them, stepped into the field, and swung his sickle.

As he swung the knife, the prompt on the panel suddenly appeared in his eyes.

[You have harvested the first-level spiritual plant [Blood Rice] and have obtained the corresponding solidified spiritual essence. You cannot solidify the spiritual essence of the same level a second time!]
This was another entry that Li Ye had never seen before, and he couldn't help but feel moved when he saw it.

Although he had originally thought of relying on a spiritual plant to continuously improve the entry level, he also knew in his heart that such enhancement could not be achieved by simple repetition.
It now seems that most entries of the same type can only be transformed once with solidified spiritual essence at the same level.

If you want to get a higher level, you need to obtain a higher level spiritual plant of the same type before you have a chance to achieve it!

"Alas... I can't upgrade it, what a pity!"

Li Ye shook his head secretly and swung the sickle in his hand a little faster!
