Immortality cultivation starts with planting techniques

Holding the abacus, Li Ye withdrew his spiritual consciousness from the several jade slips or golden books in front of him that contained the exquisite details of the formation. He recalled Zhan Xiao's detailed insights, annotations, and deductive diagrams in them, with a slightly thoughtful look on his face.

“I never thought that this old man Zhan Xiao actually had such a rich collection of treasures. Even this array inheritance seems to have come from his family. I don’t know how he managed to become a casual cultivator…”

"But even though he has so many books on formations in his collection, at his current age, his attainments in formations are only at the lower fourth level, close to the middle level..."

Li Ye shook his head.

Being able to practice the art of formation, which can mobilize the power of heaven and earth and involves the changes of the void, to the fourth level, old man Zhan Xiao’s talent cannot be too bad.

Among the monks of the same age at that time, he was considered a genius and others could hardly match him.

But he had such a rich collection of array classics, but he only stopped at the fourth-level lower grade. At the end of his life, he still hadn't taken a step towards a breakthrough...

All we can say is that his talent may only support him to this point.

Those who can break through to the Nascent Soul stage are all extremely talented and have great opportunities.

After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, except for the few cultivators who have reached the God Transformation stage, they are almost the top existences in this world.

As the resources needed to support cultivation become increasingly scarce, there will still be differences between Nascent Soul cultivators.

Moreover, there are differences between geniuses.

Having reached this point, some people have already exhausted their talents, while some are still geniuses among their peers.

Although Zhan Xiao has a solid foundation, he can only go this far, which is the limit of the resources he has and his own qualifications.

In this way, Li Ye could understand why Zhan Xiao had such a strong desire to kill him.

If it were his own cultivation and formation skills, they would have stagnated at a certain level for many years, until his life was almost over, and he would have glimpsed an opportunity to make further progress.

However, it was taken away by a man who appeared out of nowhere, who was younger than him and whose formation skills were several times better than his. Later, he even took over the status and authority of his own sect bit by bit.

Faced with such a guy who almost took away several vital things from him, he would probably have murderous intentions and would want to kill him as soon as possible!

As for the reason why Zhan Xiao didn't take action at the beginning, Li Ye guessed that it was because his puppet clones were basically practicing near Jin Lanzhou's cave and could not get out, so even if he had an idea, he would not be able to wait for the opportunity.

At the same time, this fellow's own cultivation level had regressed after he took over another body and was reborn. He didn't even have enough time to recover through seclusion, and he didn't have the ability or energy to harm the puppet clone.

Otherwise, he might not even be able to wait until after the war, when the puppet clone followed Jin Lanzhou back to Lingbie Island and set up a large formation to solve the problem.

When Li Ye thought of this, he couldn't help but think of himself.

With the panel, he has been continuously collecting and cultivating new spiritual plants. Compared with the low-level disciples of Zixuan Sect back then, his talent and ability are constantly improving.

Now that I have obtained a new spiritual root of heaven and earth, the Purifying Willow, I will soon gain another unique bonus.

Compared to others who are constantly exhausting their potential with every step forward, Li Ye keeps moving forward and is also constantly raising the upper limit of his potential.

Although the road to immortality is full of difficulties, fortunately, he finally has a unique road to heaven!

As long as you are alive, there is a chance that you will achieve enlightenment.

After carefully sorting out all the formation books and illustrations left by Zhan Xiao, Li Ye continued to organize the spoils.

At that time, Guo Tinghan sacrificed his own Nascent Soul, which activated the fifth-level golden turtle essence hidden in the golden turtle shell, and his physical body and all his remains were taken away.

Most likely, they all fell into Jin Lanzhou's hands.

When they finally searched for the remains, they did find two storage artifacts.

Li Ye opened them one by one and immediately saw some differences.

One of them was completely empty, with nothing left inside.

In the other storage magic tool, he didn't see any treasures and food suitable for Jin Lanzhou's refining. He estimated that they were all used to recover from their injuries.

As for the talismans and the like, they had been almost all used up in previous attempts to break the formation and fight, especially the most precious talismans for breaking the ban, not a single one was left.

However, there is a rich collection of various spiritual objects used for refining tools and making talismans, and the number is not small.

The reason why there are so many of these is most likely that they are the result of Jin Lanzhou and Guo Tinghan's belongings being combined together, and there was not enough time to refine them into practical treasures.

Now that it has fallen into Li Ye's hands, he can use it to refine the magic weapon at hand and make further improvements to his natal puppet.

It had been some time since he broke through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, but the time for refining his natal puppet was relatively limited, so he sent it to the East China Sea to do undercover work.

Now that the war has come to an end, all we have to do is to defend our achievements. We can even take back our natal puppet for the time being, and use our own magic power and the various spiritual objects to upgrade its grade.

In this way, he can send it to Lingbie Island to guard it on his behalf and make use of the spiritual fields on the island, and he can feel more at ease.

These are just the basics, and they also need to be combined with what is obtained from the Lingbie Island treasure house to proceed.

Continuing to look through the books, he found that there were several magic weapons among them, all of which were objects he had seen before. Li Ye didn't care much.

Only when he saw that there were only a few waves left inside, which were far less turbulent than the turbulent waves when he first took the gem out of the treasure, did Li Ye pause.

"This thing accumulates water waves. It would be perfect for my natal puppet to refine it into the Five Elements Furnace..."

"Excluding the robe that was damaged in the fight, everything that True Lord Han Tao left behind has fallen into my hands and has been used by my natal puppet..."

After counting them one by one and removing the miscellaneous items, there were finally only three items left in front of Li Ye.

Two of the jade slips contained the same Lingbie Zhenhai Jue. Although the contents of the techniques were exactly the same, the attached notes were different.

They were left by Guo Tinghan and Jin Lanzhou respectively, carrying their insights into practicing martial arts.

Throughout the entire practice, from the very beginning of Qi training, there are contents about the shape of the golden turtle, and its changes, which become the mysteries of the practice.

After this technique reaches the Nascent Soul chapter, it contains content about refining the golden-patterned turtle shell and controlling this treasure.

Not only does one need to practice the Spirit Turtle Sea-Suppressing Technique, but one also needs to use the technique to draw in a ray of power from the golden turtle's spirit and create an imprint on the Nascent Soul in order to achieve it.

Moreover, after receiving its mark, with the feedback of the aura from the golden turtle shell, the efficiency of practicing the technique will also be improved.

Even so, it is contaminated with some demonic energy, which will affect the purity of the Nascent Soul to some extent, but in the Nascent Soul realm, one can control the fifth-order treasure, and even the cultivation can advance by leaps and bounds. Such disadvantages are nothing!

The only problem is that this treasure can only be refined by one person at a time for his or her own use. Others, even those who also practice the Lingbie Zhenhai Jue, cannot shake it at all.

This restriction existed until Guo Tinghan became the island master and inherited the legacy. He then worked out a method to slightly change it... (End of this chapter)
