Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu and said in a deep voice: "Elder Li, we understand your decision, but your safety is equally important. The Taoist weapons you refined are extremely powerful. Once they fall into the hands of hostile forces, the consequences will be disastrous. We hope you will be cautious. consider."

"Elder Li, if you insist, I will go with you to the auction to ensure your safety!" Sword Master Chen looked at Li Mu and suggested.

"Thanks to the two sword masters for thinking so highly of Li, I am very grateful!" Hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help but be moved. The two sword masters bowed and thanked him.

"There is no need for this. I also want to see what kind of forces dare to disturb Tai Sui!" Sword Master Chen said with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Sword Master Feng glanced at Sword Master Chen in surprise, and couldn't help but feel heroic in his heart. An invisible sword energy spread out from him instantly.

As a sword cultivator, I have been with the sword as my companion and as my soul throughout my life. No matter what difficulties and challenges I face, I have never flinched. At this moment, Sword Master Feng’s aloof sword intention was inspired by Sword Master Chen’s determination, as if he had returned to his youth. The self who is fearless and goes forward courageously.

"In that case, let me accompany Elder Li for a walk too!" Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu with a smile and gestured.

Hearing this, Li Mu's heart warmed up, and he bowed solemnly and thanked: "With two sword masters accompanying me, Li will have a worry-free trip. After the auction is over, Li will be grateful!"

Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen looked at each other and smiled, waving their hands to indicate that no need to be polite. Sword Master Feng said: "Elder Li's words are serious. We are both members of the Xuantian Sword Sect, and we should help each other. This trip is also to safeguard the honor and interests of the sect, so there is no need to say thank you."

Sword Master Chen added with a smile: "Besides, I am also looking forward to meeting those who dare to do harm to Elder Li and see what they are capable of."

Therefore, the three of them discussed and decided to go to Wanbao City together to participate in Wanbao Pavilion's once-in-a-century cross-region auction.

Li Mu persuaded Sword Master Feng to stay. Sword Master Chen was a guest at Qixuan Sect. After the auction was approaching and he took care of two sixth-level spiritual plants, he set off with the two sword masters and drove the spiritual ship to Wanbao City.

The spirit ship galloped through the blue sky, piercing the sky like a silver lightning bolt. On the deck, the three of them sat around and drank tea. The fragrance of tea was lingering and wafting gently in the breeze.

"Elder Li, I didn't expect that you have such a wide range of interests and are good at growing spiritual plants!" Sword Master Chen put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Li Mu and asked curiously.

In my impression, Li Mu especially likes to collect various high-level spiritual seeds and spiritual plants. This time, he will not stop until he has taken care of several spiritual fields.

"Sword Master, I don't know something. I practice ancient cultivation techniques." Li Mu explained with a smile: "The ancient cultivation techniques focus on both internal and external cultivation. The way of spiritual cultivation can not only nourish the body, but also help me cultivate my mind. . In the process of cultivating spiritual plants, I can feel the rhythm of life, which is of great help to me in practicing ancient cultivation techniques."

Sword Master Feng nodded in agreement: "The skills practiced by Elder Li are five elements, complete with yin and yang, broad and profound, and integrate the natural way of heaven and earth. It is indeed extraordinary. Elder Li can practice combined with the way of spiritual planting, so he must have understood the mystery."

"Something has been learned." Li Mu nodded with a smile and continued to explain, "The growth, flowering, and fruiting of spiritual plants all follow the natural laws of heaven and earth. In the process of taking care of them, I am also comprehending these laws. Refining weapons, refining puppets, and forming formations can all be integrated into my daily practice."

"I see. No wonder Elder Li is proficient in numerology and his cultivation has not retreated but advanced." Sword Master Chen nodded, admiring Li Mu's cultivation method.

"Elder Li, is there any special treasure you want to bid for in this auction?" Sword Master Feng poured a cup of spiritual tea for Li Mu and asked with concern.

"If it is an ordinary spiritual material, Manager Wan will keep it for me. However, the items in this auction come from powerful people from various domains. It is said that there are broken boundary stones for auction. I want to see if I have a chance to get one." Li Mu responded with a smile.

The Painting World Treasure Mansion has been upgraded to an eighth-level Taoist artifact. However, its space has not expanded much. Li Mu wants to take this opportunity of the auction to find treasures that can expand the space of the Painting World Treasure Mansion. The broken boundary stone is a rare spiritual material that can increase the space of the cave magic weapon. At the same time, Li Mu also wants to take the opportunity to see if there is any chance of missing it.

Of course, it was difficult to explain all this to the two sword masters.

"Breaking Stone? This is a high-level spiritual material that can be used to refine the treasure of the cave. It is not cheap!"

Sword Master Feng showed surprise and sighed.

"Elder Li, you are planning to refine a cave-heaven weapon! It's a good idea to use it to plant spiritual plants." Sword Master Chen said with a smile, his eyes full of admiration.

Li Mu nodded and smiled, and replied: "Sword Master Chen has a sharp eye, and I have this intention."

"Everyone wants the treasure of the cave. I'm afraid there will be a fight between dragons and tigers! However, Elder Li, don't worry. We will do our best to help you and we will definitely win the broken boundary stone for you." Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu and said with concern.

…

The three of them drank Ming Ling tea, chatted about trivial matters, and discussed spiritual practice.

As the spirit ship advanced rapidly, the outline of Wanbao City gradually became clear. This bustling city gathered high-level monks from all walks of life.

At this time, Wanbao City, a city famous for its trading, was brightly lit and bustling with people. There were shops on both sides of the streets, and all kinds of rare treasures were dazzling.

As the auction approaches, the entire Wanbao City is filled with an atmosphere of tension and anticipation. High-level monks from all sides gather together, and the spiritual thoughts of powerful men envelope the entire Wanbao City.

After Li Mu, Feng Jianzhu and Chen Jianzhu arrived, they immediately felt the prosperity and bustle of the city. At the same time, they also found the gazes of many top masters.

"It's been many years since we last met, Fellow Daoist Feng, Fellow Daoist Chen, how are you?"

A middle-aged monk in a green robe with a thin face flew straight towards the three people with a smile on his face, revealing the aura of a powerful master in the fusion realm.

"Fellow Daoist Dai, it's true that we haven't seen each other for many years!" Feng Jianzhu's eyes flashed with a silver sword light, and he smiled and nodded.

"I didn't think you were still alive!" Sword Master Chen looked at him meaningfully, and introduced him to Li Mu through telepathy: "This is Taixuan Sect-Dai Xiangbo, the Sect Master of Taixuan Sect."

Dai Xiangbo seemed to have sensed something, and looked at Li Mu, smiling and greeting: "This must be the Grand Elder of your sect-Master Li! Master Li, I have heard of your great name for a long time, and today I see that your reputation is indeed well-deserved."

Li Mu frowned, and noticed that Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen were a little unfriendly to this person. He didn't know how to respond. At this moment, several figures appeared in the crowd one after another. The aura they exuded was also extraordinary. They were obviously top masters from other sects.

"Haha, Sword Master Feng, Sword Master Chen, I didn't expect to meet in this city. How are you?" A burly man with a full beard laughed loudly. His voice was as loud as thunder and echoed over Wanbao City. The weaker cultivators in the city were bitten by thunder and shook all over.

Then, a graceful and elegant female cultivator came slowly. Her eyes were like water, revealing a bit of coldness. The chief elder of Bingyue Palace, Fairy Lengyue, said: "What a coincidence, fellow Taoists!"

"You are Master Li! So young?" An old man in black robe with a gloomy face and eyes like an eagle appeared and stared at Li Mu unceremoniously.

...

Eight combined strong men from various forces appeared one after another. For a moment, Li Mu felt like he was surrounded by tigers. The eyes of those top strong men seemed to be sharp swords attacking him. It was obvious that they had a little hostility towards Feng Jianzhu and Chen Jianzhu, and he was also implicated.

However, facing the gazes and potential hostility of these top strong men, Feng Jianzhu and Chen Jianzhu were not afraid at all. They looked at everyone calmly, as if they were looking at a group of jumping clowns.

The two stood side by side, calm and composed, as if the surrounding noise and hostility had nothing to do with them. They swept their eyes over every strong man present, and their calm and unhurried aura, which made everyone present look at them sideways.

"I didn't expect so many defeated generals to gather together today." Feng Jianzhu smiled slightly, took over the conversation, and looked at the crowd with a bit of teasing in his voice.

"Yes, it seems that Wanbao City is really lively today." Chen Jianzhu smiled faintly and echoed.

Hearing this, everyone's face sank. As strong men in the fusion realm, when have they been called "defeated generals" so lightly? However, facing the unfathomable strength of Feng Jianzhu and Chen Jianzhu, they had to endure it temporarily.

"Don't be so good at talking, Feng, if you have the ability, fight with me, Xiong." The burly man's voice rolled like thunder, his face was full of indignation, and the flame of challenge flashed in his eyes.

Master Feng smiled slightly, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he said in a calm tone: "Today, we are here to participate in the auction, and we don't want to cause trouble. If Xiong Batian is interested, I will accompany you to the end."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a sound of "clang" and a ray of green sword light suddenly flashed in Master Feng's body. The sword of the 'Qingyuan Dao Sword' vibrated slightly, emitting a faint green light, resonating with Master Feng, and exuding a sharp sword intent.

Seeing this, Xiong Batian's pupils shrank slightly. He naturally recognized that it was the power of the Dao Sword. He knew in his heart that it was not a wise move to fight Master Feng, but his hot temper made it difficult for him to swallow this breath.

Xiong Batian looked at the other strong men present, as if looking for support. However, everyone also understood that they were at a disadvantage against the previous Feng Jianzhu and Chen Jianzhu. Now they each held a Dao sword, and their combat power was even better. Moreover, with the strength and status of Xuantian Sword Sect in the spiritual world, they all chose to remain silent.

Seeing no one respond, Xiong Batian was angry, but he also knew that it was not appropriate to act rashly at this time. He glared at Feng Jianzhu, snorted coldly, and turned away in anger.

Seeing this, the other strong men looked at each other, restrained their momentum, and dared not say much.

Just when the strong men were undecided about whether to stay or leave, and the atmosphere was awkward, Wan Renlang, the local snake of Wanbao Pavilion in Wanbao City, quickly flew in front of everyone with a group of waiters in gorgeous costumes.

Wan Renlang had a signature smile on his face, and his enthusiastic eyes swept across the faces of the strong men one by one, and saw Li Mu showing an even brighter smile.

"Dear guests, welcome to Wanbao City. I am Wan Renlang, the general manager of Wanbao Pavilion." Wan Renlang's voice was loud and magnetic, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Wan Renlang glanced at the high-level monks present and warmly welcomed them: "Today, Wanbao Pavilion is honored to host this grand auction. Thank you all for your presence. Here, on behalf of Wanbao Pavilion, I assure you that today's auction will live up to your expectations."

"The auction will start soon. Please come in!"

As he said, Wan Renlang made a gesture of invitation, indicating that everyone should enter Wanbao Tower.

Those powerful men who were already a little embarrassed took the opportunity to go down the stairs. Under the mediation of Wan Renlang, they followed the waiters and flew into Wanbao Tower one after another.

Li Mu, Feng Jianzhu and Chen Jianzhu were led by Wan Renlang himself into the VIP box specially prepared for them. The box was elegantly decorated and everything on the auction table could be clearly seen through the window.

"My two Taoist friends, Master Li, please forgive me for the poor hospitality!" Wan Renlang greeted the three people warmly with a sincere smile on his face. He apologized to the three guests for not being able to show up in time just now, and promised that they would enjoy the top VIP treatment of Wanbao Pavilion during the auction.

"General Manager Wan, you are welcome!" Feng Jianzhu responded with a smile.

Wan Renlang was relieved to see that the three people did not mean to blame him, and then said: "Master Li, Feng Jianzhu, Chen Jianzhu, there are several treasures in today's auction. I specially prepared them for you. I believe you will be satisfied."

"Oh? Can Pavilion Master Wan reveal one or two in advance?" Li Mu asked curiously.

Wan Renlang smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course I can!"

As he spoke, Wan Renlang took out a jade slip from his storage ring and handed it to Li Mu, saying, "Master Li, this jade slip records all the items in this auction. There are the broken world stones and soul fruits you want, and there are also several eighth-level spiritual materials for refining weapons. Master Li, please take a look."

Li Mu was refreshed and quickly took the jade slip and put his consciousness into it. The next moment, a large amount of information about spiritual objects flowed into Li Mu's mind like water.

Li Mu's eyes lit up and he was quite excited. This auction was indeed extraordinary. Many extremely rare treasures appeared. Sure enough, this adventure was worth it and it was not in vain.

After quickly browsing the jade slip, Li Mu handed it to Master Feng Jian. He took the jade slip and quickly browsed it. He couldn't help but also took a fancy to several high-level spiritual objects.

"Thank you, General Manager Wan, for your advice. We will definitely strive for it with all our strength." Li Mu bowed to Wan Renlang and thanked him.

Wan Renlang nodded and said, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. The auction is about to start. I hope you can return with a full load."

After saying that, Wan Renlang left the box and closed the door behind him.

After watching Wan Renlang leave, the three people in the box turned their attention back to the auction table, preparing for the next feast. (End of this chapter)
