Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Time flies, and twenty years have passed in a hurry.

After returning from the Cangyuan Secret Realm, Li Mu plunged into the Painting World Treasure House and began a long period of seclusion.

During the days of seclusion, Li Mu did his best to refine the Taoist soldiers and fulfilled his promise to the eight major families to refine the Taoist soldiers. In his spare time, Li Mu would still inspect the sacred mountain of the Seven Xuan Sect and plant seven kinds of fifth-level spiritual plants on the seven main peaks.

Under the care of the seven incarnations, these spiritual plants thrived, passed the fragile juvenile period, began to enter the growth period, and gradually moved towards maturity.

One day, Li Mu came out of the Painting World Treasure House and appeared on the top of the Golden Sword Peak, next to the field of thousands of spirits.

Wherever he looked, a golden sword chrysanthemum came into view. The golden peak sword chrysanthemum was like a golden wave surging, swaying in the wind and making bursts of sword sounds, as if countless swords were dancing.

Under the innate magical power - identifying all spirits, the properties of the Golden Sword Chrysanthemum are fully presented in Li Mu's eyes.

[Golden Sword Chrysanthemum (growth period)]

[Grade: fifth-level spiritual plant]

[Features: dazzling golden light, breaking through the strong and sharp, introverted gold, self-generated sword energy]

[Status: accompanied by sword energy, accompanied by golden sword intent, growing rapidly]

[Golden Sword Chrysanthemum, fifth-level spiritual plant, naturally contains golden sword energy, dazzling golden light, accompanied by sword energy, plant age: 72 years, its growth requirements: the place where the gold energy converges, accompanied by sword energy, abundant spiritual power, twenty years of growth, the sword intent begins to appear, thirty years of sharp sword leaves, fifty years of sword chrysanthemum blooming, the stamens nurture a sword essence, and the golden sword chrysanthemum with a hundred years of medicinal age is one of the core materials for refining the Golden Soul Pill. ]

Li Mu bent down and gently stroked one of the sword chrysanthemums, feeling the sword energy it contained, and his heart could not help but surge.

In 28 years, this batch of spiritual plants will mature. The remaining six spiritual peaks planted several spiritual plants: Fire Scale Flame Fruit, Blue Spirit Moon Lotus, Yellow Vein Fruit, Green Vine Spirit Sunflower; Illusion Yin Grass, Jade Yang Spirit Fruit, almost mature in batches during this period.

When this batch of spiritual plants mature, it will be time for him to advance to the Refining Void Realm. Li Mu can't help but look forward to it.

At this time, a figure quietly appeared behind Li Mu. It was the incarnation of the spirit stationed at the Golden Sword Peak. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle and his temperament was as cold as ice.

Li Mu turned around and his eyes met with the incarnation of the spirit. There seemed to be some invisible bond between the two. This incarnation of the spirit was not only an extension of Li Mu's power, but also a manifestation of his will. It also had a part of independent consciousness. However, it always loyally stationed at the Golden Sword Peak and guarded this land of spiritual plants.

"You are here." Li Mu said softly, revealing a bit of relief and gratitude in his voice.

The incarnation of the spirit looked at Li Mu, was silent for a moment, and gestured: "The disciple you asked me to take has already advanced to the Golden Core stage. What should we do with him next!" Hearing this, Li Mu suddenly realized and frowned. What was the name of the disciple that the gold clone took? He tried to recall the name of that disciple, but it was a little vague for a moment. It seemed to be Zhao Tianchen! "Well...that disciple..., if you don't want to take him with you, let him go out for some experience! You can concentrate on taking care of the spiritual field!" Li Mu thought for a while, looked at the incarnation of the spirit, and gestured. "Understood!" The incarnation of the spirit nodded slightly, and then it flashed slightly and disappeared on the spot. Watching the gold clone leave, Li Mu's figure flashed and followed him to leave and returned to the city lord's mansion. When Li Mu stepped into the hall, a middle-aged man with extraordinary demeanor came towards him. It was Tianyan Shenjun. When Tianyan Divine Lord saw Li Mu, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He walked forward quickly, with a friendly smile on his face, and asked with concern: "Master, how come you are free today? Aren't you in seclusion? Is there something important?"

"It's almost time. I'm going to go out. After I leave, Qixuan Sect will be in your hands." Li Mu looked at Tianyan Divine Lord and gestured.

Hearing this, Tianyan Divine Lord was slightly startled, and immediately understood what Li Mu meant.

"Master, are you going to explore Lingxu Fudao? It's so sudden. I think the original body fell because of exploring this island,...!" Tianyan Divine Lord looked solemn and hurriedly reminded.

Lingxu Fudao is far away from Zhongzhou Lingyu. It is a mysterious place full of unknown dangers. Tianyan Divine Lord's original body fell because of exploring this place. Now Li Mu is going to find this place. This trip may be extremely dangerous.

Li Mu smiled slightly and said confidently: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist Tianyan. Although there are some risks in going to Lingxu Fudao, I am not unprepared. I have a detailed plan and will act cautiously." Lingxu Fudao is about to come out. No matter how dangerous it is, Li Mu will find a way to overcome it and will never give up easily. Now, there are only three places left to collect the seven extreme spiritual places - the extreme earth realm, the extreme fire realm, and the extreme yang realm. As for the other four extreme spiritual places, Li Mu has successfully mastered them. Either he has set up a small teleportation array in the spiritual land, or he has a way to enter and exit freely, and he has them firmly in his hands. The extreme fire realm is located in the southern wilderness spiritual area. This area is now in chaos. The battle between Feng Jianzhu, Chen Jianzhu and the forces of the Demon Abyss has lasted for decades. The two sides are evenly matched and have fallen into a stalemate. The seal of the extreme fire realm, as the core of the struggle between the two sides, naturally became the focus of the struggle between the two sides. The difficulty of taking the extreme fire realm can be imagined.

There are no clues about the Extreme Yang Realm so far. Li Mu has entrusted the eight major families, Xuantian Sword Sect, and even Wanbao Pavilion and Tianji Tower to call on a large number of casual cultivators to search for its whereabouts. However, it seems that this extreme sun realm is covered by a mysterious force, and no matter how powerful the detection methods are, there is no trace of it.

The remaining Lingxu Blessed Island is most likely where the seal of the Extreme Earth Realm is located, and Li Mu must not miss it.

The seven spiritual realms in the extreme realm will be the key for Li Mu to plant high-level spiritual plants in the future. These spiritual realms carry his hope of advancing to a higher realm. For Li Mu, they not only represent abundant resources, but also The cornerstone of his future.

Nowadays, a large number of fifth-level spiritual plants are planted on the seven main peaks of Qixuan Sect. In order to nourish these spiritual plants and make them grow rapidly, not only a large amount of spiritual stones are consumed, but also a large amount of high-level auxiliary spiritual materials are needed for assistance. In a short time, In just a few decades, Li Mu spent an astronomical amount of spiritual stones, which could almost meet the consumption of a medium-sized sect for a hundred years.

In the past hundred years, Li Mu had spent almost everything he had in order to obtain these high-level auxiliary spiritual materials, investing all his worth into this huge project.

This is all due to Li Mu's extraordinary ability - the ability to earn spiritual stones by refining seventh-level Taoist weapons. It is this ability that allows Li Mu to continuously provide the nutrients needed for spiritual plants to grow rapidly. Others may already be unable to survive.

However, with the improvement of his cultivation level, Li Mu's needs are also increasing. When he enters the Void Refining Realm, the fifth-level spiritual plants will not be able to meet his needs. He must plant sixth-level and seventh-level spiritual plants in order to provide food for him. He continued to provide spiritual-planting attributes, allowing his cultivation to improve rapidly.

However, the auxiliary growth spiritual materials needed to plant these sixth- and seventh-level spiritual plants will be a terrible expense, which is definitely beyond what Li Mu can bear on his own.

At this time, the importance of the seven extreme realm spiritual lands becomes particularly prominent. If we can cultivate spiritual fields in the extreme realm spiritual lands and plant these sixth- and seventh-level spiritual plants, not only will there be no need to consume any auxiliary spiritual materials, but it will also be extremely suitable for high-level spiritual plants. growth.

Therefore, the seven Extreme Realm Spiritual Lands are related to Li Mu's future path and are very important to him. He will make every effort to overcome all difficulties and collect the remaining Extreme Realm Spiritual Lands.

Seeing that he could not persuade Li Mu, Lord Tianyan had no choice but to sigh and support his wishes: "Sect Master, you have always thought carefully. Since you have decided, I will no longer persuade you. I wish you a smooth trip and an early return."

Li Mu nodded, then rose into the sky, and his figure gradually disappeared into the clouds.

Watching Li Mu's flying figure, Lord Tianyan's face darkened, his brows furrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Lord Tianyan looked up at the formation pillars at the top of the seven main peaks of the Qixuan Sect, with an expression of excitement on his face, as if he had been looking forward to it for a long time, and was ready to implement some plan, but he was stumped by something, and his face showed embarrassment.

Lord Tianyan closed his eyes and seemed to be gathering all his thoughts. He stretched out his hands to count. His five fingers kept moving in the air, as if he was depicting an invisible pattern. The pattern flickered slightly in the air, emitting a faint golden light. .

"That's not right! Where is it!" Lord Tianyan murmured to himself, opened his eyes, and once again looked at the direction where Li Mu disappeared, with a trace of complicated emotions flashing in his eyes.

At this time, Li Mu had no idea about the strange behavior of Lord Tianyan.

After flying out of the Qixuan Sect, Li Mu released the Earth Spirit Ship and drove it, galloping above the clouds, all the way to the east.

Time flies, half a year has passed.

Li Mu piloted the Earth Spirit Ship across half of the Zhongzhou Spiritual Domain, and finally arrived at the Eastern Fantasy Sea where Lingxu Fukushima was located.

Li Mu stood calmly, his eyes like torches, looking at the turbulent illusory sea in front of him, his brows furrowed.

The Fantasy Sea is deep, and there are countless mysterious islands hidden in legends. Among them is the goal of his trip - Lingxu Blessed Island. However, finding an erratic island in the vast sea is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

Li Mu could only rely on a purple jade slip and a sea compass to search aimlessly in the phantom sea. He controlled the flying boat, shuttled through the waves, and released his spiritual consciousness to search for the possible scent of the island.

A few days passed, and the traces of the Lingxu Blessed Land were as vague as smoke. Li Mu still found nothing. During this period, he discovered many islands. The residents on the islands made a living by catching sea beasts and spiritual fish.

Li Mu decided to find a nearby island to rest for a while and get some clues about Lingxu Island.

The sea breeze blows, and there are some simple fishing villages scattered on the island on the sparkling Magic Sea. The island cultivators make a living by catching spiritual fish and digging for spiritual pearls in the shallow sea, leading a simple and honest life.

Li Mu slowly landed in a fishing village on the island with his sword. Looking around, he saw that although the fishing village was small, it was clean and tidy, and the villagers were busy and orderly.

Li Mu lowered his sword and walked into the fishing village. The salty smell of sea water and the aroma of fresh fish hit his nostrils. Along with the high-pitched singing of fishermen in the distance, the entire fishing village was full of vitality and vitality.

Li Mu walked along the winding path. On both sides of the road were fishermen's nets drying and freshly caught seafood. Children were playing in the open space. Occasionally, a woman would poke her head out of the house and look at the stranger curiously. of visitors.

Li Mu walked into a simple but clean small teahouse, and the waiter greeted him enthusiastically: "Guest, would you like tea or wine? We also have spirit fish soup here. How about a bowl of spirit fish soup to warm you up? Our island The specialty silver tail fish is delicious and can nourish the spiritual veins.”

"Okay, give me a bowl." Li Mu nodded and sat down at a table by the window.

Soon, the waiter brought a bowl of steaming spiritual fish soup and placed it in front of Li Mu.

While tasting the delicious spiritual fish soup, Li Mu looked at the scene of the fishing village outside the window.

At this time, several fishermen in coarse cloth clothes sat around a table, talking and laughing loudly, discussing the recent harvest and the recent situation on the island.

"Old Wang, the red flame spiritual fish you caught yesterday was really big, and it sold a lot of spiritual stones!" A fisherman with a full beard said excitedly.

"Fortunately, fortunately, only five medium spiritual stones." The old fisherman with white hair responded with a red face and a smile.

"Five medium spiritual stones are already very good, Old Wang, you are really a fishing expert in our village!" A young fisherman next to him said enviously.

"Recently, the number of spiritual fish in the sea seems to have increased a lot, and we can be regarded as benefiting from it." The old fisherman called Old Wang responded happily.

"That's true, but some strange things have happened recently." Another young fisherman lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I heard that someone saw a yellow glow flying into the sky over Dongyun Island, which lasted for a whole night."

"Oh? There is such a strange thing?" All the fishermen showed surprised expressions.

"Yes, I have heard about it too. Some people say that the beam of light is a precursor to the appearance of the immortal palace, while others say that it is some kind of demon beast." The young fisherman nodded solemnly and said solemnly: "In short, the Fantasy Sea seems to be not very peaceful recently. Don't leave the island casually."

Li Mu's heart moved. He put down the bowl in his hand, walked forward and asked: "Little brother, where did you see the yellow glow you mentioned? Where is Dongyun Island located?"

Seeing that Li Mu came to talk, but his cultivation was not weak, the young fisherman hurriedly responded respectfully: "Senior, I heard about the yellow glow from others. I can't tell the specific location, but I heard some fishermen who returned from the deep sea mentioned it. They said that the glow was dazzling, rushing straight from the bottom of the sea to the sky, illuminating the entire sea area, as if a fairy palace was about to appear.

"As for Dongyun Island, it is located in the northeast of the Fantasy Sea. It is a relatively remote island with abundant spiritual energy and top-grade spiritual veins. There are many rare spiritual herbs and spiritual fish growing around it. This island is the Taoist temple of Huang Yun Taoist. Generally, casual cultivators dare not easily land on the island. "The young fisherman quickly added a detailed introduction.

"Well! Thank you for your recommendation, brother!" Li Mu nodded in gratitude, then took out two medium-grade spirit stones from the Jiuzang Lingzhu and threw them into his hands.

Li Mu thought to himself that if Lingxu Blessed Land appeared in the world, it would often be accompanied by various strange phenomena. This mysterious beam of light might really be related to Lingxu Blessed Land.

Then, Li Mu hurriedly paid the bill, flew up on his sword, and flew towards Dongyun Island. (End of this chapter)
