Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

"Brother Li, are you done with your retreat? Have you made any breakthroughs in your cultivation?"

Xue'er, who was sorting out the ingredients, sensed a familiar breath, and immediately put down what she was doing, turned around and looked at Li Mu, asking in surprise.

"Well, it's over." Li Mu smiled slightly and responded, "I have broken through the bottleneck of my cultivation and reached a new realm."

Xue'er was slightly happy, walked in front of Li Mu, looked at him carefully, and found that Li Mu's breath was deeper than before, like a bottomless ocean, making it impossible to peek into his true strength. However, the breath of his cultivation revealed was that of the late stage of the Spiritualization. She felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was.

"Brother Li! Didn't you advance to the Void Refining Realm? Don't be discouraged, you..." Xue'er looked at Li Mu and comforted him quickly.

Before Xue'er finished speaking, Li Mu smiled slightly and cancelled the Breath Retention Technique - the Niyuan Breath Retention Technique, revealing his cultivation of the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm.

Xue'er's eyes widened instantly, with an expression of disbelief on her face, and she exclaimed in a low voice: "Middle stage of Refining Void! Brother Li, you...how did you do it? You were still in the middle stage of Transformation of Spirit before the retreat! This, this..."

Looking at Xue'er's shocked expression, Li Mu laughed and re-activated the Breath Retention Technique - Niyuan Breath Retention Technique, and his cultivation aura was restored to the late stage of Transformation of Spirit.

"Xue'er, what I practice is an ancient technique, which pays more attention to the training of the state of mind. I usually farm and refine tools, which is also cultivation." Li Mu looked at Xue'er and explained with a smile: "During the retreat, with the help of those spiritual plants, when I comprehend the deeper artistic conception of the technique, my cultivation will naturally break through."

Xue'er listened attentively. She had never heard of such a special way of cultivation. However, as a member of the Sky Fox clan, Xue'er is good at emotional perception. When Li Mu said this, she vaguely sensed that there was something hidden in Li Mu's words.

"So that's it!" Xue'er believed in Li Mu without a doubt. She didn't want to delve into the hidden meaning of Li Mu's words. She chose to believe Li Mu, pretending to be enlightened, and praised sincerely: "Brother Li, your way of cultivation is really unique. No wonder you can break through so quickly. I have to work hard too!"

Li Mu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Xue'er, you have outstanding qualifications and talents. As long as you are willing to work hard, your future achievements will be limitless."

Xue'er nodded, smiled at Li Mu, and the atmosphere became relaxed. They chatted about some trivial matters of the sect and discussed preparations for going out.

Not long after, Li Mu appeared next to the spiritual field where Yanyuan Spiritual Grass and Mouxing Spiritual Grass were planted. He carefully looked at the growth of the two sixth-level spiritual herbs and showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Under the innate magical power-recognition of all spirits, the attribute information of the two sixth-level spiritual materials were all presented in Li Mu's eyes.

[Yanyuan Spiritual Grass (Growth Period)]

[Grade: Sixth-Grade Spiritual Plant]

[Features: Increase vitality and prolong life, prolong soul, eliminate five declines, refine vitality, purify spirit and strengthen body. ]

[Status: The power of time is not sufficient, and the growth is slightly slow. ]

[Yanyuan Spiritual Grass, Sixth-Grade Spiritual Plant, 70-year medicinal age, growth requirements: need to be planted in a spiritual land with vigorous vitality, spiritual energy, and abundant power of time, 100 years to become a seedling, 50 years to bloom, 50 years to produce Yanyuan Longevity Fruit, 100-year Yanyuan Longevity Fruit has the effect of prolonging life, Yanyuan Longevity Fruit is the main material for refining longevity pills and longevity wine. ]

[Mouxing Spiritual Grass (Growth Period)]

[Grade: Sixth-Grade Spiritual Plant]

[Features: Mouxing Condensing Soul, Mouxing Solidifying Soul, Mouxing Gathering Source, Tempering Soul, Star Yuan Affinity. ]

[Status: Full of starlight, bathed in starlight, growing rapidly. 】

[Mou Xing Ling Cao, a sixth-level spiritual plant, 110 years of medicinal age, growth requirements: needs to be planted in a place with abundant star source and abundant spiritual power of heaven and earth, needs to be accompanied by star crystals to help it grow, matures in 150 years, blooms in 60 years, and bears Mou Xing Ling Fruit in 60 years. The 60-year Mou Xing Ling Fruit has the effect of enhancing the soul and is the main material for refining Ju Shen Dan and Tian Xing Dan. 】

The spiritual attribute of Yan Yuan Ling Cao is to increase life span, and the spiritual attribute of Mou Xing Ling Cao is to increase star source. One directly increases life span, and the other can be used to improve the spiritual consciousness method-nebula visualization method-star god chapter.

It is precisely because the Mou Xing Ling Cao has not yet matured and the nebula visualization method-star god chapter cannot continue to improve, that Li Mu temporarily postponed the idea of ​​refining seven incarnations and condensing into the refining virtual domain.

Fortunately, under the effect of the star-attracting formation, the growth rate of Mou Xing Ling Cao is still good. After about 40 years, it can be harvested on a large scale. Li Mu can wait for this time.

Li Mu's figure flashed and disappeared.

Soon, Li Mu's figure reappeared in the same place, followed by Jin Yuan's clone.

"Take care of these two kinds of spiritual plants first. I will take them to several extreme places. It will take some time." Li Mu looked at Jin Yuan's clone and gestured.

Jin Yuan's clone silently responded to the order and could not go against Li Mu's will. He already knew the true cultivation of the original body and his next plan. He planned to take six incarnation clones to several extreme spiritual places to take care of the spiritual plants. He still needed them for the time being. He was closest to the extreme gold secret realm, so he was left here to take care of the sixth-level spiritual plants.

As soon as the voice fell, Li Mu flew into the air and flew to Xuantian Sword Sect-Wenjian Peak on a sword, and took the teleportation array.

Watching Li Mu leave, Jin Yuan's clone inspected the spiritual field and skillfully performed the rain-calling technique to water the spiritual field with spiritual rain. Usually when the original body went out, this spiritual field was taken care of by their seven clones in turn.

Soon, Li Mu appeared in the teleportation array of the Ice Ghost Valley in the Far North Spirit Realm.

"Greetings, Elder Li."

The two Divine Transformation cultivators guarding the teleportation array saluted and greeted Li Mu when they saw him.

Li Mu nodded and left quickly. Yu Jian left the Ice Ghost Valley and flew towards the secret realm of extreme Yin.

…

Next, for a period of time, Li Mu rode the teleportation array or piloted the Earth Spirit Ship, and his figures appeared one after another in the Extreme Northern Spiritual Territory, the Dark Water Sea Territory, the Eastern Fantasy Sea Territory, the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Territory, and several extreme places. The embodied god clone stayed in the spiritual field corresponding to the extreme realm to take care of the spiritual plants, eliminating the need for him to frequently patrol and take care of them.

When Li Mu returned to the Zhongzhou Spiritual Realm and the Qixuan Sect, more than a year had passed.

After sending the gold clone into the extremely golden secret realm, Li Mu completely relaxed. On weekdays, he would either take care of the spiritual field, or refine elixirs and weapons in the treasure house, supervise Xue'er's practice, and prepare for Xiaobai's tribulation. Occasionally, he controls the puppet body to patrol the sect and participate in sect activities. His life is uneventful and not easy.

One day, while Li Mu was concentrating on refining a pot of elixir in the treasure house, he sensed something that the puppet substitute could not solve.

Li Mu frowned and quickly finished refining the elixir. He left the painting world treasure house in a flash and quietly appeared in the retreat room.

Seeing the figure of the puppet substitute flying towards him, Li Mu had a slight thought, put the puppet substitute into the treasure house, and walked straight to the main hall of the sect leader's palace.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was a little awkward. Wang Wenbao, the shopkeeper of Wanbao Pavilion, was chatting with Fang Shixin and Elder Fang, staring outside the hall, waiting for Li Mu to appear.

Hearing the footsteps, Wang Wenbao's energy suddenly rose and he turned to look outside the door.

Li Mu appeared at the door of the hall. He was dressed in green clothes and had an extraordinary temperament, just like an immortal who stepped out of a painting.

Wang Wenbao immediately stood up to greet him, followed closely by Fang Shixin.

Wang Wenbao's face was full of smiles, and he greeted him enthusiastically: "Master Li, I wonder what you think about it."

Li Mu glanced at Wang Wenbao without saying anything. He strode to the gift box sent by Wang Wenbao and reached out to take out the two jade tablets from the gift box.

Under the gift of magical power - identifying all spirits, the same attributes of the two jade cards appeared in Li Mu's eyes.

[Tianpuppet Spirit Tablet (1/8)]

[Level: Seventh-Level Taoist Artifact Spiritual Treasure]

[Characteristics: Knowledge of Heavenly Puppet, Depressed Puppet Space, Heavenly Puppet Heart Palace, Ten Thousand Puppet’s Secrets, Manipulation of Puppet Spirits, Thousand Times Divine Puppet]

[Status: The equipment is incomplete, the equipment spirit is missing, and the puppet palace is closed. 】

[The seventh-order Heavenly Puppet Taoist Artifact made from the seventh-order spiritual jade crystal, the seventh-order Chaos Beast Emperor Bone, the seventh-order reincarnation spring, the eighth-order Soul of Sharo, and many other destiny, life and death spiritual materials - Ba Mian Puppet suppression card. This spiritual tablet is covered with the Heavenly Puppet Heart Palace. After completely passing the heart palace-spiritual consciousness training, you can obtain the Puppet Taoist Saint-level inheritance technique-"The Heavenly Puppet Casting Taoist Sutra". ., you can use this device to control thousands of puppets by consuming the power of your spiritual consciousness. However, this instrument is a puppet instrument, the way is strange, it has been silent for a long time, and it has a certain degree of confusion and chaos, so use it with caution. 】

"Master Li, are you satisfied with the meeting gift of these two jade tablets? We are trying our best to search for their whereabouts for the remaining jade tablets." Wang Wenbao felt a little uneasy when he saw that Li Mu did not respond immediately. He showed a concerned smile and tried to please him. asked.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Li Mu nodded noncommittally and put the two Heavenly Puppet Spirit Cards into the storage ring unceremoniously.

"It should! It should! I wonder if Master Li you are free. This once-in-a-century auction of Wanbao Pavilion still lacks a few heavyweight final items. I hope Master Li can lend a helping hand." Wang Wenbao saw Li Mu saying to Jade Pai expressed his satisfaction, his heart dropped, and the smile on his face became even brighter. He took the opportunity to continue asking Li Mu, his tone full of expectation and flattery.

"It's not easy to refine Taoist weapons. You want three of them at once. Wanbao Pavilion's appetite is too big!" Li Mu glanced at Wang Wenbao and said angrily.

Wang Wenbao felt nervous at Li Mu's glance, but he immediately realized that Li Mu had not completely rejected Li Mu's words, and there was still a chance to discuss the matter.

So, Wang Wenbao put on a more flattering smile on his face and explained: "Master Li, you have misunderstood. Wanbao Pavilion naturally knows the difficulty of refining Taoist weapons, and also understands your hard work. But this auction event is of great significance to Wanbao Pavilion. It is of great significance, and we hope to take this opportunity to show our strength. You are highly skilled in refining weapons, and all the Taoist weapons you refine are exquisite. If we are lucky enough to get your help, this auction event will be famous forever. "

Wang Wenbao paused, and seeing that Li Mu did not interrupt him, he continued excitedly: "Of course, our Wanbao Pavilion will never let you pay for it in vain. In addition to the reward promised before, we are also willing to provide you with three times If the three Tao weapons are refined, the remaining spiritual materials will belong to you. In addition, if the Tao weapons are successfully refined and achieve good results at the auction, we will also pay you a considerable sum of money. commission."

Seeing that Li Mu was still thinking and did not refuse, Wang Wenbao felt happy and continued to introduce the grand event of this auction in detail: "Master Li, this once-in-a-century auction event of Wanbao Pavilion is the largest event in this region. At that time, people from High-level monks, sect leaders, and ancient aristocratic families from the five seas and four regions will all come together to participate in this grand auction.

"In this auction, in addition to the many high-level spiritual objects, rare medicinal materials, mysterious treasures, etc. prepared by our Wanbao Pavilion, there are also items sent by these high-level monks. Each item is a rare treasure in the world, and even contains Taoism. Yun, there are also extraterrestrial spiritual beings appearing..."

Having said this, Wang Wenbao's eyes flashed with excitement, and he looked at Li Mu and continued: "Master Li, if the Taoist weapons you refined can be unveiled at the auction, it will definitely cause a frenzy. I believe that your Taoist soldiers will It will become the most dazzling presence in this auction.”

"Furthermore, Master Li, you need to know that such a grand event is not only a platform for trading spiritual items, but also an excellent opportunity to collect high-level spiritual materials. High-level monks from all over the world will bring their collections with them. Come and exchange. If you participate, you will definitely be able to harvest some rare materials that are hard to find in ordinary times, which will undoubtedly be of great help to your future weapon refining journey."

After speaking, Wang Wenbao stared at Li Mu closely, waiting for his response.

As a holy master who can refine seventh-level Taoist weapons, Li Mu must understand the importance of this auction event and the huge benefits of participating in it. Wang Wenbao was extremely looking forward to him agreeing to his request, not only gaining great benefits, but also adding luster to Wanbao Pavilion's auction event.

Li Mu was moved by Wan Wenbao. At the moment, he was worried about Xiaobai crossing the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation. Since he swallowed the soul of the immortal demon lord, he fell into a long sleep, waiting for it to wake up and cultivate. It will definitely increase further, and the time for it to pass through the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation is getting closer and closer.

However, Xiao Bai is a sixth-level Gu spirit with unique soul power and magical powers, but his body is very delicate. The True Spirit Thunder Tribulation may cause fatal damage to him.

Li Mu knew very well that without adequate preparation and unnatural means, Xiaobai would probably not be able to successfully survive the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation, and might even die in the Thunder Tribulation.

Li Mu took a deep breath, looked at Wang Wenbao and nodded: "Yes, I can refine three Taoist weapons for Wanbao Pavilion as the finale, but the ugly words are ahead. What I need will appear in this auction, Wanbao You need to inform me in advance and help me win with all my strength.”

"No problem, my acting general manager agreed. Master Li, don't worry, our Wanbao Pavilion has rich resources and channels in spiritual materials, and we will definitely assist you in finding the spiritual materials you need." Hearing this, Wang Wenbao was overjoyed and spoke without hesitation. Ying Nuo said.

After speaking, Wang Wenbao handed the storage ring containing the high-level spiritual materials for refining Taoist weapons to Li Mu's hands without any burden, showing his trust in him.

Li Mu took the storage ring and immediately used his spiritual consciousness to examine it. He was immediately shocked by the quantity and quality of various seventh-level weapon refining materials in the storage ring. There were so many high-level weapon refining materials with such good quality. , I couldn’t help but admire the foundation and strength of Wanbao Pavilion.

In the following days, Li Mu became busy. (End of chapter)
