"Me? I'm with Senior Brother Li Yi." Li Yirou smiled and didn't say anything more, packing up her things. She knew what Lu Huairen would think, nothing more than to belittle her cultivation.
Lu Huairen's expression changed slightly, and he felt a little unhappy. It was just because he didn't trust Li Yi that much last time. He was really childish and didn't want to team up with them.
Li Yidai felt that this was also a burden. Although it was unpleasant to hear, he would not say it out loud, but this was what he thought in his heart. He was fifteen or sixteen years old and his cultivation was still so low. It would be difficult for him to make any progress in the future.
He just didn't believe that if the two of them teamed up together, they could get anything good, unless the two of them could form a team.
But Fang Ye's cultivation level is so low, and his personality is so rigid, who would be interested in him? He had originally thought that since Yu Mao was injured, he and Li Yi would find a few more teammates, but he didn't expect him to go with Fang Ye. If anything goes wrong, Fang Ye will be the scapegoat. These two people are not very smart, so it's better to stay away from them.
Lu Huairen looked through his communication jade slips to see if there was anyone he knew who was suitable to team up with him to explore the secret realm.
Li Yirou returned to her bed and continued her cultivation. Aside from eating and traveling, she barely wasted any time. After three days of bravely venturing into the sword formation, combined with her previous training, her new residual meridian had condensed another 25%, marking a slight improvement in her cultivation.
It's true that progress in cultivation slows down as you progress, until, no matter how hard you try, you're stuck. That's when your cultivation stagnates. Some people, however, reach a plateau, and after that, they can continue to move forward step by step, while others remain stuck there forever.
Perhaps it was due to spiritual innate talent, or perhaps it was due to insufficient learning ability. In any case, apart from achieving immortality and achieving the Great Dao, cultivation was considered a success; anything else was considered a failure.
Li Yirou was still thinking that perhaps after ascending to heaven, there would still be mortal immortals and golden immortals. The universe has no end, and cultivation may never exist.
After her cultivation speed slowed down and her meridians could no longer improve, Li Yiru came out of her meditation state, set up the formation, arranged the materials, and began to draw talismans.
Even though the Earth Escape Talisman was of a low grade, it was still more difficult to draw than talismans of the same grade, so she first practiced with the Spirit Enhancement Talisman and the Shield Talisman, just like arranging formation flags and using spells, she dipped the talisman pen in the talisman ink and completed it in one go.
In fact, she felt that no matter what kind of spell it was, there were similarities and commonalities. The ultimate goal was to transform spiritual energy into a more powerful force that could be used through a medium, but it would also be subject to certain rules and restrictions.
For example, formations have a range, talismans have a duration, and magic practitioners and sword practitioners need to convert spiritual power through weapons. In any case, they cannot escape the restrictions of time and space rules, as well as the influence of the cultivator's own cultivation.
Li Yiru drew a thick stack of spirit-enhancing talismans and shield-protecting talismans, put away the ordinary cinnabar, and replaced it with a black talisman ink.
It contains more spiritual energy. It is a small bottle and looks very precious, so Li Yiru usually uses it to draw earth escape talismans and second-grade talismans.
Fifty more first-grade, seventh-level earth escape talismans. This was the limit of the grade of earth escape talismans Li Yirou could draw. Twenty second-grade, seventh-level spirit-enhancing talismans, and thirty second-grade, eighth-level shield talismans. Li Yirou put away her brush. The lotus petals were about to wither again. This was often when she was most tired.
This moment was like the darkest moment in life, and once she got through it, she could regain her spirits. But often, this made Li Yirou want to give up, even want to cry.
But thinking of her situation, she gritted her teeth and persevered. She rubbed her temples, cleared her mind, and packed her things.
A day and a night had passed. Li Yirou went to the dining hall, looking gloomy. Her eyes were dull as she ate, her mind blank. The spiritual energy in the food nourished her bit by bit, and the petals turned into starlight and fell. Finally, she regained her spirits.
After finishing her meal, she was about to pack up and leave when she saw a young man with an equally tired look carrying a bowl of food. She was used to seeing him full of energy, but this was the first time she had seen him dragging his feet and being too lazy to walk.
Li Yi seemed to have noticed Li Yirou earlier and sat directly across from him, but he didn't say a word to him. He finished his meal with his eyes closed, and Li Yirou was worried that he wouldn't be able to get the food to his mouth.
"Can you take me to Taoyuan Mountain?" Finally, he finished eating. Li Yiru helped him use a dust-removing technique, and he didn't even have the energy to control the paper crane.
Li Yirou was troubled for a moment, but she remained calm on the surface and said, "Okay."
He looked dazed, but still insisted on going to Taoyuan Mountain. Li Yirou was afraid he would lose his balance and fall out, so she simply let him sit in front of the paper crane, like a child standing in front of a tram, so that she had to bend her arms slightly and stretch them out to hold the reins of the paper crane.
Later, Li Yi praised her for her steady control and rested for a while on the crane's neck. When they arrived, he finally regained some energy and took out three palm-sized iron frames that looked like stick figures.
"What is this?" Li Yirou instinctively thought it was some kind of intelligent robot gadget. As expected, Li Yi said, "It's a puppet. Put a few spirit stones in it, inject some spiritual consciousness into it, and control it to take care of the areas that need attention."
Li Yirou did as she was told. The little puppet knew some basic spells, which were for the three attributes of earth, water and wood, and began to take care of the saplings one by one.
"Wow!" Li Yirou exclaimed in shock, controlling the three little puppets with a serious look on her face.
Each of them only planted fifty or sixty seedlings, and the puppet completed the work in a short while.
Li Yi said that they were absorbing the energy of the spirit stones again, and after they were full, they would repeat Li Yirou's previous instructions on their own.
"Won't someone find out and steal it?" If the spiritual plant was disturbed, no one would take care of it, not to mention the materials and effort spent on refining it, which would all be wasted.
"I added a fixed concealment formation. They can hide their whereabouts and escape underground if necessary. However, they can only do so a few times."
"The spirit stones are buried in these places. They will be replaced automatically when they are used up."
"Master Li is very thoughtful." Li Yiru admired Li Yi's ability to stack so many formations and talismans on the refining tools.
It turns out that weapon refiners can also refine puppets. If there are puppets that can be used for farming, then there must be puppets that can be used for fighting... Li Yirou really wants one, but she doesn't know how much it costs.
Li Yi's puppets are so comprehensive. If they are still destroyed, it can only be because of his unpredictable nature. He can only come back and replant them.
Li Yirou cast another Cloud and Rain Technique. Li Yi also secretly thought that Fang Ye's spiritual awareness was indeed powerful. At least cultivators of the same level as Fang Ye, even if their spiritual platforms had transformed, could rarely command three puppets at once.
In addition to practicing for a few days, the two of them also prepared whatever they thought of. Since Li Yiru had space, she was not worried about the spiritual energy escaping, and she even finished drawing all the talisman papers.
She bought everything she could think of, so as not to reveal any clues in the secret realm. She also bought some materials that were reasonably priced, making full preparations.
