Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

The old stall owner took a deep breath, as if he wanted to inhale all the medicinal fragrance into his body. The wrinkles on his face relaxed, and his eyes shone with unconcealable excitement. He asked with a trembling voice: "This... what kind of elixir is this? It has such strong medicinal power!"

Li Mu smiled slightly, resealed the elixir bottle, and said: "This elixir is called 'Life Extension elixir'. It is a seventh-level Taoist elixir. Taking it can extend your life for nearly a thousand years without any side effects. Taoist friend is already old." , this elixir may be more important to you than the spirit stone."

When the old stall owner heard this, his breathing suddenly became rapid. Extending his life for a thousand years was undoubtedly a huge temptation for an old monk like him. He has been practicing for many years, but his cultivation has stagnated, and his lifespan is about to expire. If he can extend his life for a thousand years, he may have a chance to break through the bottleneck and make further progress.

"Fellow Taoist, are you really willing to exchange this elixir with me?" The old stall owner's voice was trembling, and his heart was obviously shaken.

Li Mu nodded and said calmly: "Of course. This elixir is quite precious, but for me, it is not something urgently needed. On the contrary, this yellow vein crystal mine is of some use to me. If fellow Taoist is willing, we can Bartering, but the value of my Dao Pill far exceeds the value of this spiritual material. It is only fair that fellow Taoists need to add more high-level spiritual materials or use spiritual stones to complete it. "

Hearing this, the expression of the old stall owner changed slightly, but he soon regained his composure. As Li Mu said, the value of this longevity elixir is immeasurable. Even the yellow vein crystal mine in his hand cannot be compared with it. . However, this opportunity to extend his life was too precious for him, and he could not give it up easily.

The old stall owner pondered for a moment, his eyes scanning the stall, as if he was weighing the value of each item. Finally, his eyes fell on a jade pendant that exuded a faint spiritual light. The jade pendant was engraved with complex runes, and there was a faint ancient atmosphere.

"Fellow Taoist, please take a look," the old stall owner carefully picked up the jade pendant and said softly, "This is a sixth-level spiritual weapon carved by a famous master. It is called the 'Lingyun Jade Pendant', which can warm the spiritual roots and increase the speed of practice. Although its The effect is not as direct as the life-extending pill, but it is also a rare treasure for practitioners. I am willing to exchange this jade pendant with five hundred thousand spiritual beings for the life-extending pill with my fellow Taoists. "

"Fellow Taoist, don't be ridiculous. The Qianshou Dao Pill I have is worth more than three million high-grade spiritual stones. It is beyond the reach of a mere five hundred thousand high-grade spirits and a sixth-grade spiritual weapon. Besides, I don't want the finished product." Spiritual weapon, if you want this Thousand Life Dao Pill, please show your sincerity." Li Mu shook his head slightly, stared at the old stall owner, and said with a hint of unquestionable determination in his tone.

When the old stall owner heard this, his face froze slightly. He obviously didn't expect that Li Mu would reject his proposal so directly. He fell into silence, with a trace of struggle flashing in his eyes, as if he was weighing something.

"Fellow Taoist, if there is no high-level spiritual object transaction of corresponding value, let's give up this barter transaction! I bought this stone for a price of 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones!" Li Mu looked at the difficult decision. The old stall owner suggested with a smile.

Hearing this, a trace of reluctance flashed in the eyes of the old stall owner, but more importantly, he was helpless. With his own wealth, it is indeed not easy to collect high-level spiritual objects that are equivalent to Li Mu's longevity pill. However, he was unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to extend his life.

"Fellow Taoist, there is something else here! Please take a look at it again." The old stall owner declined and solemnly took out a jade box from the storage ring.

The jade box is simple and unpretentious, with complex patterns engraved on its surface, giving off a faint aura of vicissitudes of life. The old stall owner carefully opened the jade box, and suddenly, a strong spiritual energy came to his face. There was a fist-sized crystal lying in the box. The whole body showed a deep purple color, and there seemed to be stars flowing inside, emitting a mysterious light. .

"This is... the Purple Sky Star Crystal?" Li Mu's eyes flashed with surprise, and he obviously recognized the origin of this crystal.

The old stall owner nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, this is the Zixiao Star Crystal. It is a strange object bred in meteorites from outside the sky. It contains the power of stars and is extremely rare. This object can not only be used to refine high This magic weapon can also help monks understand the great ways of heaven and earth and break through bottlenecks. If you are willing, fellow Taoist, I would like to exchange this Purple Sky Star Crystal and Huang Vein Crystal Mine for your longevity pill."

Li Mu pondered for a moment, his eyes lingering on the Zixiao Star Crystal for a long time, as if weighing its value. Zixiao Star Crystal is an eighth-level spiritual material and is indeed precious. It is especially suitable for setting up star power formations and is a good high-level spiritual item. However, the value of the Life Extension Pill cannot be underestimated, especially for General Shouyuan. For all the old monks, it is almost an irreplaceable treasure.

"Fellow Taoist, although Zixiao Star Crystal is good, for me, it is not something that is urgently needed." Li Mu spoke slowly, with a hint of regret in his tone: "However, since Friend Taoist is so sincere, I don't want to let you Disappointed. How about this, I will trade this life-extending pill with you for the Purple Sky Star Crystal, Yellow Vein Crystal Mine, and one million souls?"

"One million high-grade spiritual stones! Fellow Taoist! Aren't you trying to make things difficult for me!" When the old stall owner heard Li Mu's request, his face instantly turned pale, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

The old stall owner smiled bitterly and shook his head. He bargained with a hint of helplessness and pleading in his voice: "Fellow Taoist, one million high-grade spiritual stones... This is really beyond my ability. Although I have some savings, these In order to break through the bottleneck, I have spent more than half of it. The spiritual stones on hand now are only 300,000 high-grade spiritual stones, plus the Zixiao Star Crystal and Yellow Vein Crystal Mine, it is all my wealth. "

Li Mu's expression remained calm after hearing this, as if he was not surprised by the bargaining of the old stall owner. He said in a deep voice: "Daoyou, you must know the value of the longevity pill. If I didn't need it, I wouldn't easily take it out to trade with you. Although the purple star crystal is good, it is indeed not an urgent item for me. If you can't get one million upper spirits, I'm afraid this deal will be difficult to reach."

The old stall owner's eyes flashed with anxiety after hearing this. He gritted his teeth and seemed to have made up his mind. He whispered: "Daoyou, can you be more lenient? Except for the purple star crystal and the yellow vein crystal ore, you can choose any of the spiritual materials on the stall."

Li Mu's eyes swept around the old stall owner's stall after hearing this. Although there were many kinds of spiritual materials on the stall, most of them were of low grade and not very useful to him. His eyes finally stopped on a fist-sized green ore. The surface of the ore was covered with fine lines, and it faintly exuded a faint wood-attributed spiritual energy.

"This piece of green-veined wood spirit stone is quite interesting." Li Mu reached out and picked up the ore, examined it carefully, and then said lightly: "Daoyou, if you are willing to add this Kuiwen wood heart, I will trade with you. However, in terms of spirit stones, you still need to make up 500,000 upper spirits, how about it?"

The old stall owner's face changed slightly, but thinking of the value of the longevity pill, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay! As Daoyou said! Kuiwen wood heart, Zixiao star crystal, Huangmai crystal ore, plus 500,000 upper spirits, in exchange for your longevity pill!"

Li Mu smiled slightly and nodded: "Daoyou is straightforward, then it's settled."

After that, Li Mu handed the longevity pill to the old stall owner. The old stall owner took the pill, his hands trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of excitement. He took a deep breath, put the pill away solemnly, and then took out 500,000 upper spirits from the storage ring, together with Kuiwen wood heart, Zixiao star crystal and Huangmai crystal ore, and handed them to Li Mu.

Li Mu took the item, checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he put it into the Tianxuan Ring, looked at the old stall owner, and said goodbye: "Daoyou, the transaction is done. I hope this longevity pill can help you break through the bottleneck and make further progress."

The old stall owner nodded, showing a trace of gratitude on his face, and bowed deeply to Li Mu: "Thank you for your help! This favor will be remembered in my heart!"

"Just take what you need, Daoyou." Li Mu waved his hand and walked straight to other stalls.

There are not many stalls in this black market, but the strength of the stall owners is quite extraordinary. The quality and quantity of the high-level spiritual materials they collect are quite considerable.

Li Mu walked slowly between the stalls, his eyes were like torches, scanning every commodity on the stalls. Under his innate magical power-recognizing all spirits, the attributes of each spiritual object were all presented in his eyes.

Not long after, Li Mu found a seventh-level spiritual material with space-time attributes - "Empty Realm Stone" on a stall. Spiritual materials with space-time attributes are extremely rare, especially the seventh-level Empty Realm Stone, which is a treasure that can't be found. This thing can not only be used to refine space-type magic weapons, arrange space-time magic arrays, but also assist in practicing space-time magical powers. For him, it is exactly what he needs. This thing can also be used to assist the growth of space-time spiritual lotus.

Li Mu walked forward, looked at the Empty Realm Stone, and felt it carefully. The surface of the stone is as smooth as jade, and there seem to be countless tiny space cracks flowing inside, faintly revealing a mysterious space-time power.

"Daoyou, how do you trade this Empty Realm Stone?" Li Mu asked, with a hint of expectation in his tone.

The stall owner was a middle-aged monk in a black robe, with a stern face and a deep aura. He looked up at Li Mu and said lightly: "This is a seventh-level spiritual material, and it is very valuable. If you want it, you can pay two million high-grade spiritual stones."

"I can't take out so many high-grade spiritual stones in the next moment. Can we barter?" Li Mu asked with a smile.

Hearing this, the stall owner's eyes stayed on Li Mu for a moment, as if assessing his strength and sincerity, and then agreed: "Barter is also possible, but it must be of equal value. If you have elixirs, magic weapons or rare spiritual materials above the seventh level, you can take them out and have a look."

...

Please...collect 6...books...!

As time went by, Li Mu's storage ring had added several precious high-level spiritual materials. He was quite satisfied. This trip to the black market was far beyond his expectations.

Just as Li Mu was about to leave, his mind swept over, his face changed drastically, and he immediately performed the Five Elements Escape Technique, and his figure disappeared on the spot.

The next moment, many cultivators in the entire black market were shocked and looked up.

I saw that the sky was filled with dark clouds, and the demonic energy was overwhelming, covering the entire black market in a haze. A group of Mahayana demon cultivators led their subordinates to attack. Their figures were like ghosts, and their speed was as fast as lightning. In an instant, they broke through the defense barrier of the black market, causing panic and chaos.

The cultivators in the black market panicked and fled everywhere, but several Mahayana demon cultivators were in the lead, with strong strength and ruthless means. Many cultivators were captured by the demon cultivators just after escaping a few steps, or were swallowed by the demon flames and turned into ashes. The order of the black market collapsed instantly, and the prosperity and secrets of the past disappeared at this moment.

"Wan Guyu, get out! Don't hide!" A cold and murderous voice echoed over the black market, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell, making people shudder. The owner of the voice was the Mahayana demon cultivator who was in the lead. He was wearing a black demon robe, his face hidden in the shadows, revealing only a pair of scarlet eyes, emitting a ferocious light that captivated people.

After a long time, there was no response. The face of the Mahayana Demon Cultivator became more and more gloomy. He laughed in anger, and his voice exploded like thunder over the black market: "Good Wan Gu Yu, since you are so ungrateful, I will destroy your turtle shell with my own hands, and then capture you alive, and skin you alive to vent my hatred!"

After that, the Mahayana Demon Cultivator waved his hand, and the demonic energy surged, spreading to every corner of the black market like a tide. Wherever it passed, buildings collapsed, flames raged, and the screams of the monks came one after another. The whole black market seemed to fall into a doomsday scene.

The demon cultivators of the Demon Abyss performed their own magic skills. Some turned into demon shadows, shuttled through the crowd, and harvested the lives of the monks; some released powerful demon flames, turning areas into scorched earth. Under their attack, the defensive barrier of the black market was like paper, vulnerable.

"Wan Gu Yu, if you don't come out, every inch of land in this black market will become your burial place!" The leading Mahayana demon cultivator was filled with endless anger and murderous intent.

However, even in such a desperate situation, Wan Gu Yu still did not show up. The Mahayana demon cultivator was furious and no longer held back. He wanted to take action himself and raze the black market to the ground.

Just as the Mahayana demon cultivator was about to make a full-scale attack, a low humming sound suddenly came from the depths of the black market, as if some ancient power was awakening. Then, a brilliant golden light shot up from the underground of the black market, breaking through the clouds, and instantly dispelled the demonic energy shrouding the black market.

"Coward, you finally came out? Hahaha!" The Mahayana demon cultivator stared at the source of the golden light and laughed heartily.

When the golden light gradually subsided, a figure slowly emerged. It was a middle-aged man in a white robe, with a stern face and lightning-like eyes. He exuded a strong Mahayana pressure. He was the owner of the black market - Wan Guyu, the former master of Wanbao Pavilion and even Wanbao City.

"I, Wan Guyu, don't want to be an enemy of you, Moyuan, but you are aggressive and relentless. Today, I will let you see my methods!" Wan Guyu's voice was cold and majestic, with an unquestionable determination. Before he finished speaking, he had an ancient Taoist sword in his hand.

"Hahaha, no problem, no problem, as long as you hand over the 'Wanbao Ding', I can spare your life!" The Mahayana demon cultivator laughed wildly, his eyes full of greed and murderous intent. (End of this chapter)
