Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Walking into Chen's Kung Fu Shop, a refreshing aura hits your face. The floor paved with Qingyao Stone is majestic.

What comes into view is a large mahogany bookshelf, displaying various exercise books and several inheritance jade slips.

Behind the counter, a slightly affluent middle-aged man was holding a book and looking at it quietly. When he noticed the sound of footsteps and a customer came into the store, he quickly put down the book and stood up to entertain.

"Your Majesty, welcome. What exercises do you want to buy?" The shopkeeper looked at Li Mu and asked enthusiastically.

"Boss, do you sell the exorcism technique?" Li Mu asked straight to the point.

"Yes, this book is Zheng Lei to Exorcise Evil, a yellow-level middle-grade exercise. The price is: 280 lower spirits." The store manager took out a hardcover book from under the counter and quoted the price.

"Uh! Is there any cheaper one? Preferably around 20 hits." Li Mu was silent for a moment and asked sheepishly.

"Brother, are you kidding me? We don't have any skills that cost less than 100 souls! You'd better go buy an exorcism charm!" The store owner turned away with a dark face and angrily drove away the customers.

"Sorry to bother you!" Li Mu declined, turned around and left Chen's Kung Fu Shop and went to the Talisman Shop next door.

The twenty lings were what was left after selling two bags of ling rice and buying Cuiling fruit seeds last time. Li Mu did not dare to spend them randomly and kept them just in case.

Exorcism charms are not cheap either!

Soon, Li Mu walked out of the Talisman Shop with a depressed expression.

One exorcism charm costs five pieces, and one acre of spiritual land costs about ten.

If it is not completely eliminated, the disease of the Cuiling Fruit plant will definitely not be completely cured.

Li Mu changed his route to the Sanxiu Market to try his luck.

Li Mu came across a stall selling exorcism talismans. After some bargaining, he found that one piece cost four spirits. The quality was not that good, and it was still not enough.

If it doesn't work, we can only shovel out the acres of Cuiling Fruit. It's not too late to plant Fengling Grass instead.

Wandering in the market in despair, Li Mu accidentally discovered the stall selling the Pharaoh's Kung Fu that he had picked up last time, and he quickly went over to it.

"Boss, do you still remember me? Do you sell exorcism exercises?" Li Mu swept away the exercise books at Lao Tao's stall one by one, with a look of disappointment on his face. Not only were the exercise books at the stall perfect, Even if you pick it up, you won’t be able to use any techniques to exorcise evil spirits.

"豼!" The old Taoist didn't recognize Li Mu, but he greeted him enthusiastically: "There are exorcism techniques! There are!"

After saying that, the old man reached for the storage bag on his waist, and with a swish, there was a book with a blue cover in his hand.

"Is this possible? The method of summoning thunder to exorcise evil spirits, a middle-grade yellow-level method." The old Taoist introduced it while looking at Li Mu.

"How many spirit stones?" Li Mu asked tentatively.

"Two hundred spirits!" The old Taoist gestured with two fingers.

Hearing this, Li Mu fell silent. He only had 20 spirits. If he offered a 10% discount, this veteran would go berserk on the spot!

Li Mu's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of something. There should be a lot of good skills hidden in this old Taoist storage ring. I picked up the Xuan-level top-grade God Tempering Art from him before, maybe I can pick it up again!

"Yeah! I'll give you a little more for the price! Also, if you have any other good skills, take them out and have a look. I don't like even the ones on the stall." Li Mu said calmly.

Big customer!

Hearing Li Mu's tone, the old Taoist immediately became enthusiastic and quickly picked out the magic formula from his storage bag: "Is this good? The Golden Armor Body Tempering Technique, top-grade yellow level."

"It's too ordinary, don't do it!" Li Mu shook his head.

"What type of technique do you want! Tell me clearly first!" The old Taoist frowned.

"Take out all the exercises in your storage bag. If I see something suitable, I'll buy it!" Li Mu suggested.

"Okay!" The old Taoist helplessly took out the exercises from the storage bag one by one.

"Seventy-two Paths of Illusion Sword Jue" is a top-grade yellow level, "The Art of Thick Earth" is a low-grade yellow level, "Yimu Spirit Binding Technique" is a top-grade yellow level, "Xuanjia Body Refining" is a middle-grade yellow level,..., the stall owner is a veteran from He took out thirty or forty magic formulas from his storage bag and filled the small stall with them.

"Which technique do you like? Don't tell me you don't have it! It took a lot of effort to get it all!" The old Taoist said angrily with a dark face as he stared at Li Mu who was choosing the technique.

"Have you taken them all out? Do you have any other skills that you haven't taken out yet?" Li Mu picked through them and found nothing to pick up.

"I returned a few worthless ordinary martial arts training techniques, but now I have taken them out!" The old Taoist took out the last few martial arts techniques.

"Vajra Fist", "Bagua Kick", "Heart-stimulating Palm"...

Li Mu's eyes lit up, and he took out the ordinary swordsmanship from the "Twenty-Four Seasons Sword Techniques" and the Houtujue book: "These two books plus the exorcism book, how many magic spells are there in total."

In order not to make it seem special to take only "Twenty-Four Seasons Sword Techniques", Li Mu reluctantly brought another training book - "Hou Tu Jue".

"You want these three books?" The old Taoist's face turned darker and he asked in disbelief.

He was asked to take out all the exercises in the storage bag, but he only picked two of the least valuable exercises. The old Taoist looked at Li Mu with contempt.

At this time, the old Taoist suddenly remembered Li Mu, the boy who spent 15 spells and bought two books of exercises last time.

"Have you brought the spirit stones? You won't only have a few dozen spirit stones again! I won't sell you cheaply this time." The old man quickly put the skills into the storage bag and warned.

Hearing this, Li Mu also felt helpless. He also wanted to use the spirit stones to buy three books of exercises immediately. However, he was too tight now and could only find another way.

"Are you collecting the skills?" Li Mu decided to sell the ones he picked up. He had already memorized and copied the book of Tempering God.

"Of course I'll accept it, but it must be the original manuscript." The old Taoist said cautiously.

"How can I collect the top-grade Xuan-level skills that only have the first three levels of spiritual consciousness?" Li Mu asked in a low voice.

"What?" The old Taoist perked up and looked at Li Mu in disbelief, doubting his ears.

Li Mu had no choice but to repeat what he just said.

"If it is true, I will use 10 Zhongling to collect it, and give you the three techniques you like." The old Taoist gritted his teeth. Xuan-level techniques have rarely been circulated in the casual cultivator market, let alone It’s a spiritual consciousness technique.

"How can I tell you what's true and what's false? What should I do if you write down the content after I show you the exercises?" Li Mu asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, I can tell the truth from the false by just looking at the front. You can cover up the rest." The old Taoist quickly comforted Li Mu.

"Ten souls are too few. Can you have more? If I give them to the sect, I might have a chance to become an inner disciple." Li Mu frowned and said in disgust.

"Ha! This is a broken copy. If you hand it over to the sect, you will lose your life. Do you believe it or not? Are you sure that the sect will not force you to follow up on your subsequent skills?" The old Taoist laughed coldly.

Hearing this, Li Mu was speechless. Selling the God Tempering Art was inherently dangerous, but how could he not even pick up the missing spiritual stone?

For the sake of another leak, Li Mu agreed to Lao Dao's offer, turned around and reached into his arms, and took out the worn yellow paper recording the Divine Tempering Technique from the storage compartment.
