Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Soon, under Gongsun Chu's warm greeting, the two of them sat separately in the reception room.

"Master Li, please take a look. This is Qingxuan Sect's most famous Qingxu Ling tea. It has the effect of strengthening the spirit and nourishing the soul." Gongsun Chu smiled and motioned to Li Mu to serve the tea and introduced it.

Li Mu smiled and nodded, picked up the tea cup and tasted it carefully.

Li Mu also planted ten acres of third-level Qingxu Ling tea on Yueqiong Peak because he believed that Qingxu Ling tea had the effect of strengthening the mind and nourishing the soul.

However, in order to meet the growing environment of Qingxu Lingcha, Li Mu had to go through a lot of troubles. Qingxu Lingcha needs to be planted in a high-grade spiritual field, full of green wood aura, and accompanied by Xuling snakes, so that it can be successfully cultivated.

The first two conditions were easily met. Li Mu set up the Qingmu Yuan Formation and used ten acres of high-grade spiritual fields to continuously replenish the Qingmu spiritual energy while consuming a large number of spiritual stone bags. The Void Spirit Snake is a third-level special spiritual beast. Li Mu After paying a large amount of rent and owing a favor, I rented it from a certain elder of the sect. It was not easy.

The entrance of Qingxu Lingcha exudes a light fragrance of elixir, which is extremely sweet. The Lingxu tea turns into warm currents and rushes to the sea of ​​consciousness. My soul is clear and I feel very comfortable. Recently, I have been refining weapons, setting up formations, etc., and my nerves have been tense. It slows down and the fatigue disappears.

"Good tea!" Li Mu exclaimed with a satisfied smile.

After being stimulated by Qingxu Ling Tea, it was as if his soul had been cleansed. Li Mu also felt that he was too nervous during this period and was too eager to get things done. He didn't even put down what he was doing. He stopped, relaxed and experienced life. .

"If Master Li likes to drink, I can bring some later." Gongsun Chu looked at Li Mu with a smile and said enthusiastically.

"Okay! I'm not polite. Is there any weapon refining arrangement in the pavilion? Shopkeeper Gongsun, just follow your orders." Li Mu smiled and nodded, sending Li Bao a message.

"Of course there is. In five days, Wanbao Pavilion will hold its triennial auction. I am worried about not having the best spiritual weapons to hold the place. Master Li, you are here just in time. Can you refine one for this auction? For batches of top-quality spiritual weapons, the refining commission will be increased by 5% based on the original cost. Master Li, if you need any auxiliary resources, you can leave it to me to prepare. The spiritual objects produced by Wanbao Pavilion will have the original benefits. Basically, we're offering a 10% discount." Gongsun Chu looked at Li Mu and gave way generously.

Hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help but be moved. The courage of this female shopkeeper was comparable to that of Wang Wenbao. Although Wan Wenbao gave him a 10% increase in the commission for refining weapons last time, in the end, he used the excuse of insufficient cash flow and replaced it with The material was flipped back.

Gongsun Chu was different. He slightly raised 5% of the weapon refining commission income, and also gave a discount on materials. It can be said that he gave away all the profits.

"Okay! If you need to refine any spiritual weapon, please give me the materials and list! I will try my best to make it in the past few days, but you can help me raise the materials I need." Li Mu nodded and looked at Gongsun Chu gestured.

"Okay! I'll make arrangements later. Master Li, if you need any materials, just ask." Gongsun Chu nodded happily and asked with a smile.

"Purple Yang Jade, Taixuan Moon Dew, Heavenly Meridian True Water, Huanwu Spiritual Earth,..., are there any goods in these spiritual materials pavilion?" Li Mu mentioned more than a dozen third- and fourth-level spiritual materials in one breath, and looked at Gongsun Chu and asked .

Almost all of these spiritual materials were prepared for the high-end spiritual plants in the 330 acres of Yue Qiong Peak, especially Ziyang Jade and Taixuan Yuelu. He had already exchanged all the Qingxuan Sect's contribution warehouse, so he came to Wanbao Pavilion. preparation.

Gongsun Chu frowned and looked strange.

"What! What's the problem?" Li Mu looked at Gongsun Chu and asked with concern.

"To be honest, Master Li, these materials are available in the warehouse in the pavilion. However, Ziyang Jade, Taixuan Yuelu, and several true disciples of Qingxuan Sect are all looking to buy them. These two spiritual objects are the key items of this auction. If Master does not If you need it urgently, can you wait a little longer? Purple Yang Jade is produced from Ziyang Mountain in Tiannan Territory, and Taixuan Moon Dew is produced from Yuehua Island in Wanxing Sea Territory. You only need to wait for a while before the goods can be transferred." Gongsun Chu Looking at Li Mu, he explained.

Hearing this, Li Mu was slightly startled. He did not expect that the Qingxuan Sect's warehouse was short of Ziyang Jade and Taixuan Yuelu, and those true disciples would find Wanbao Pavilion.

This situation seems to have been brought about by myself!

I have already stocked up a lot of goods, so I can't compete with those true disciples anymore.

"It's not urgent. I still have a batch of inventory available. I can wait a little longer. However, how long will it take to get these two spiritual items ready?" Li Mu waved his hand and asked with concern.

"About three months, is it too late? Master Li, when the time comes, I will try my best to transfer as many as you want." Gongsun Chu looked at Li Mu and gestured.

"Okay! Purple Yang Jade, Taixuan Yuelu, you can mix as much as you can for me. I want at least five million spirit stones. If the spirit stones are not enough, I will sell myself to shopkeeper Gongsun!" Li Mu looked at it Gongsun Ce gestured with a smile.

"Okay!" Gongsun Chu narrowed his eyes and nodded in agreement.

The two chatted about some weapon refining matters. About an hour later, Li Mu received a batch of high-level weapon refining materials, left Wanbao Pavilion, and flew to Yue Qiong Peak with his sword.

Li Mu has to stare at the spiritual plant at Yue Qiong Peak every day, and Li Mu doesn't have time to stay in the spiritual weapon workshop of Wanbao Pavilion to refine weapons.

"Shopkeeper, you just let Master Li take away millions of refining materials! What if, if he doesn't come back..."

Gongsun Chuyu and several shopkeepers enthusiastically sent Li Mu away from Wanbao Pavilion. One of the stewards asked worriedly.

"Don't worry! Master Li's name is worth those spiritual stones!" Gongsun Chu smiled and said with great courage.

During this period of investigation, Gongsun Chu clearly knew how many high-level spiritual weapons Li Mu had refined for the Qingxuan Sect during this period. The value of those spiritual weapons, added together, could easily exceed the refined weapons he took away. Material.

Gongsun Chu fully believed in Master Li and would not tarnish his reputation as a master of weapon refining for a few materials.

The actual situation was even more flattering than Gongsun Chu expected. Li Mu refined a fourth-level spiritual weapon for the Qingxuan Sect and received the same weapon refining materials for free, or even more. This time, if not for the Purple Sun Jade , Taixuan Yuelu, I need to ask for help from Wanbao Pavilion.

A mere commission from refining weapons is not worth Li Mu's efforts to refine weapons for Wanbao Pavilion, let alone steal the materials for refining weapons. On Yue Qiong Peak, the number of spiritual weapons that have transformed into spirits is increasing, and it is causing a lot of trouble. Less hassle.

If you casually sell a fourth-level spiritual weapon with a weapon spirit to the outside world, the price will probably be higher than that of a fifth-level spiritual weapon.

Li Mu Yujian returned to Yue Qiong Peak and immediately planted 90 acres of second-order exquisite spiritual grass spiritual seeds and 90 acres of second-order heavenly wind grass spiritual seeds. He cast a clear wind and rain spell to water the spiritual fields, and at the same time inspected the spiritual fields. field.

After confirming that the various second- and third-level spiritual plants were growing smoothly, Li Mu finally placed his sword in the yard with peace of mind.

Seeing Li Mu's figure, Red Wolf, Xiao Jin couldn't wait to run to him, acting coquettishly and begging for food. Every time Li Mu returned, he would bring them delicious food, either spiritual pills or monster meat. I believe this This time will be no exception.

Li Mu fed them a spiritual elixir, Xiao Jin a golden vein elixir, and Red Wolf a spiritual feeding elixir. Then, he turned to the ice cellar, took out a large piece of hind leg meat of a third-level cloud-stepping deer, and placed it in the ice cellar. The cooking started in front of the stove.

Meal time is the time to regularly practice the fifth-level earth-level skill - the soul-devouring body-building technique.

After three meals a day and continuous practice, Li Mu now needs to eat the meat of third-level monster beasts in order to meet the demands of the Soul Devouring Bodybuilding Technique.

While eating the meat of the third-level monster beast, he also performed the swallowing of whales to transform into spirits, the swallowing of whales to refine bones, and the swallowing of spirits to refine blood. At the same time, he used three kinds of health-nurturing magical powers to improve the body-refining effect.

Nowadays, Li Mu's body has been cultivated to a level comparable to the strength of a third-level demon beast's body, and he can easily wield a punch of one hundred thousand kilograms.

Soon, the thigh meat of the third-level cloud-stepping deer was roasted and cooked. Li Mu took a knife, cut off a piece of meat that was roasted until golden brown, and put it in his mouth to enjoy it happily.

"Squeak!"

"Wangwang! Wangwang!"

The red wolf, Xiao Jin, who smelled the meat, ran to Li Mu, barking, looking at the owner eagerly, begging for a bite.

"This is the meat of a third-level monster beast! You guys can't digest it after eating it. Have you forgotten the lesson from last time?" Li Mu declined with a smile and reminded him.

"Wangwang! Wangwang!" The red wolf obviously still remembered the lesson, but it refused to give up and shouted in the direction of the ice cellar, signaling Li Mu to go to the ice cellar to get the meat of the second-order monster beast, and the first-order monster meat came out to roast.

"Out of stock! The remaining ones are all third-order monsters. If you don't believe me, go to the ice cellar and see for yourself!" Li Mu chuckled and responded to Chi Lang.

Red Wolf understood and walked towards the ice cellar in disbelief. There was a huge difference in the spiritual content of the flesh of first-order, second-order and third-order monsters, and he could tell the difference.

Not long after, Chi Lang exited the ice cellar with a dejected look on his face. He angrily shouted "Wangwang" twice to Li Mu and asked, "It's all out of stock. Why don't you buy first- and second-level monster meat? What do they eat?" The dog is going to starve to death!

"What a coward, you stinky dog! How dare you teach me how to do things! Come here!" Li Mu waved to Red Wolf angrily and funny.

The red wolf was startled. At this time, it knew that if it stepped forward, it would definitely be beaten, so it ran away as if running away.

Seeing that the red wolf ran away in a hurry, Li Mu continued to immerse himself in eating meat. At the same time, he used all his strength to run the soul-devouring body-building art to quickly digest the meat of the third-level monster beast, continue to cultivate and refine his body, and improve his cultivation.

"Squeak!"

Xiao Jin did not leave. He stared at the piece of meat in Li Mu's hand. He seemed to have made up his mind and called out to his master.

"Uh! You still want to challenge? Are you sure?" Li Mu met Xiao Jin's eyes and felt Xiao Jin's determination from the Yuling Seal.

"Zhizhi!" Xiao Jin gritted his teeth and responded, as if telling Li Mu that Xiao Jin could not be defeated by a piece of meat.

"Okay! Okay! If you want to eat, I'll just give you a piece! I'm just greedy, no excuses!" Li Mu was angry and funny. He cut off two finger-sized pieces of meat and handed it to Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin took the piece of meat, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it whole.

The rich and powerful power of the demon spirit burst out from the third-level flesh, and the veins on Xiao Jin's face were immediately exposed.

"Roar" Xiao Jin couldn't help but kneel on his knees, hold his belly with his hands, and roared in pain, venting the huge demonic power in his body.

Seeing this scene, Li Mu's heart moved. He felt Xiao Jin's current state through the Yuling Seal, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

After the level of the earth-level skill - Spirit Controlling Contract was raised to level 5, several spiritual powers were derived: Soul Controlling Technique, Soul Controlling Soul Explosion Technique, Soul Controlling Soul Sharing Technique, Spirit Controlling Soul Technique, The technique of telepathizing with spirits.

Because he was worried about the impact of this technique on the spirit master's soul, Li Mu did not use any other derivative techniques except the original spirit contract seal technique.

However, Li Mu probably knew the functions of these spells. As the name suggests, the soul-controlling technique means that if something happens to the body, one can attach one's soul to the beast and survive.

The soul-controlling soul explosion technique detonates the beast-controlling soul, causing it to explode to its full limit before death...

These derivative soul skills can firmly control the beast in the hands of the spiritual master, and they cannot escape control for a lifetime.

However, the Spirit Control Technique, this supernatural soul technique, is different. It seems that it can transfer the cultivation techniques and experience to the beast control!

Um!

If this is the case, is it possible to teach Xiaojin the spirit-devouring body-nurturing technique through the soul-controlling knowledge transfer technique?

Xiao Jin, who has practiced such body training techniques, will definitely grow faster!

If the knowledge transfer is successful, I will teach it some melee techniques in the future!

Relying on the body of the second-level monster, he also learned the melee combat skills of the human race, and then refined a set of high-level defensive spiritual weapons for it, and paired with a spiritual stick, it became a humanoid weapon!

Thinking of this, Li Mu's heart skipped a beat.

"Xiao Jin, I will teach you a technique that can quickly absorb the flesh of monster beasts. You should learn it carefully!" Li Mu looked at the painful Xiao Jin and gestured.

"Zhizhi!" Xiao Jin raised his head and responded to Li Mu, indicating that he understood.

Li Mu closed his eyes slightly, sensed Xiao Jin's soul contract with his soul, and silently used the magical power to control the soul and transfer the knowledge, and transferred the training technique and fifth-level training experience of the 'Spirit Devouring Body Cultivation Technique'.

"Roar!" Xiao Jin howled in pain, feeling a large amount of skill information suddenly pouring into his soul, causing his body and soul to suffer shock at the same time, causing more injuries.

Fortunately, this kind of pain goes away as quickly as it comes.

According to the techniques that appeared in the soul, Xiao Jin quickly started to practice. His stomach, which was burst by the spiritual power of the third-level demon flesh, suddenly surged with extremely high digestive power, causing his body to gradually recover.

Li Mu had already opened his eyes, stared at Xiao Jin, breathed a sigh of relief, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

Xiao Jin's status bar shows: He is practicing the Soul Devouring Art.

Li Mu’s idea came true!

The skills he has learned can be transferred to the beast through the Spirit Control Seal. However, this method of teaching seems to cause harm to the soul of the beast. Just now, Xiao Jin's soul was shaking and in pain. Li Mu noticed it. In eyes.

The number of times a beast can receive the consciousness transfer technique is probably limited! Moreover, if the qualifications are not good, the soul will easily collapse.

"Squeak!" Xiao Jin looked at Li Mu and cried out pitifully. Then, a hungry sound of "Gulu, Gulu" came from Xiao Jin's stomach.

Li Mu frowned, cut off a large piece of venison and handed it to Xiao Jin.

However, a large piece of third-level monster meat was eaten clean by Xiao Jin in just two attempts.

Soon, a huge amount of demonic power burst out. Xiao Jin continued to practice the soul-devouring body art, and his body became stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, Xiao Jin's body quickly shrank back, and his body became more solid. The aura became thicker, giving Li Mu a feeling that had been refined once.

"Swallow the spirit and refine the body!"

"No way! How come Xiao Jin skipped the first two steps? Is it because it is a monster?"

Seeing Xiao Jin's condition, Li Mu frowned in confusion.

The characteristics of Xiao Jin's Soul Devouring Body Refining Technique are exactly the same as the form of the Soul Devouring Body Refining Technique, and the changes are much more conspicuous than his. Obviously Xiao Jin's physique is more suitable for practicing this technique.

"Squeak!" Xiao Jin opened his eyes and woke up again when Li Mu was distracted, staring at the roasted deer leg in Li Mu's hand with pitiful eyes.

"Okay! If you can eat it, I'll give it to you!" Li Mu looked helpless and handed the whole roasted leg to Xiao Jin. He had a premonition that he was in big trouble for himself and had a big eater.

"Squeak!" Xiao Jin shouted gratefully to Li Mu, and then started to eat the roasted deer leg with big mouthfuls.

Sure enough, Li Mu's hunch was not wrong.

Xiao Jin quickly finished chewing the whole roasted deer leg, then turned around and retreated as if he was practicing soul-devouring exercises to maintain his health. His diligent and hard-working look made Li Mu feel ashamed.

However, Li Mu felt that Xiao Jin did not practice to become stronger, but to eat more roasted monster meat.

Seeing that the aura emanating from Xiao Jin's body was changing at the speed of the naked eye, Li Mu sighed helplessly, walked into the ice cellar, and dragged out half of the body of the third-level cloud-stepping deer. He has five elements of spiritual fire and a level 10 drying technique. , and bake together.

In less than a quarter of an hour, half a fan of third-order cloud-stepping venison was roasted to a sizzling oil and fragrant aroma, making the red wolf lying on the ground salivate.

Helpless, the roasted monster meat exuded powerful spiritual pressure, and Chi Lang, who had been punished several times, did not dare to eat it anymore. He could only watch Xiao Jin eat haiselessly.

…

Time flies and three days pass.

Li Mu wielded his sword and flew to Bailian Peak, handed over the weapon refining task to Yin Xianwen, and did not receive any subsequent weapon refining tasks.

During these few months, Li Mu had unknowingly refined over seventy or eighty fourth-level spiritual weapons for Qingxuan Sect, and his popularity among Qingxuan Sect had been greatly improved.

If this continues, the sect will pay attention to him, and the sect leader will receive him, and the elders will visit him to express condolences. This is not in line with Li Mu's strategy of keeping a low profile and farming on Yue Qiong Peak.

Li Mu did not want to be friends with the senior officials of the Qingxuan Sect, and he was even more afraid of the Qingwen Zhenjun who was looking at Yunfeng. He did not want to have any chance of meeting him. Therefore, taking the opportunity of handing in this task, Li Mu expressed to Elder Yin that he wanted to practice in seclusion. , prepare for the impact on the next level of realm.

Yin Xianwen responded with great understanding. Li Mu had already established a foundation at a young age and was fully capable of going further.

…

After leaving Bailian Peak, Li Mu flew directly to Qingyun City and delivered six fourth-level spiritual weapons to Gongsun Chu of Wanbao Pavilion, in exchange for a large amount of growth materials needed for spiritual plants, as well as a batch of Ziyang Jade, Taixuan Yuelu order form.

"Master Li, this is the bidding order for tomorrow's auction. If you value those spiritual objects, you can bid them. The transaction price will also enjoy the discounted price of senior guests, and you will also enjoy the discounted price I gave you." Gongsun Chu handed it to you. Li Mu issued a VIP order to participate in the shooting and reminded with a smile.

"Okay! I'll come over and take a look tomorrow when I have time!" Li Mu nodded with a smile.

Soon, with Gongsun Chu's warm gift, Li Mu left Wanbao Pavilion.

However, Li Mu did not leave Qingyun City directly. Instead, he went to the inn to change his clothes, removed the disguise of 'Master Li', and sneaked into the 'King Beast Studio'.

On a rare trip to Qingyun City for business, Li Mu specially brought 'Xiao Jin' with him, preparing to let him hone his combat awareness in the Colosseum.

"Senior, do you want to buy a ticket to enter, or place a bet? There are several exciting games today. Arena No. 3 is going on with the peak showdown between the Golden Core Demon Cultivator-Blood Hand and the third-order Red Soul Beast. It is very exciting. , I recommend you go and take a look." Seeing the customer entering the store, a sharp-tongued waiter quickly stepped forward to introduce it.

"No, I plan to wait for the beast to participate in the battle. I don't know how to sign up?" Li Mu waved his hand and signaled.

"You want to participate in beast fighting! Then you have to go through the entry channel. However, if you want to participate in beast fighting, your beast control strength must reach the second level, and you need to pass some strength tests. Not just any beast fighting can participate. !" introduced the boy from Yushouzhai.

"However, senior, if your beast master can participate in beast fighting and continue to win the game, each game can bring you a large amount of profits. If you can persist to the end of the first quarter and become the beast king, you can also obtain high-level Bloodline spiritual item rewards, this season's Beast King reward is: a fifth-level blood bodhi, sign up to participate in the beast battle, go this way, senior, please follow me." The young man led Li Mu to the passage on the right, explaining as he walked got up.

"Yes! Will my beast master bring weapons and armor to the fighting platform?" Li Mu nodded and asked curiously.

"Definitely not. Refined weapons and armor cannot be brought onto the field. However, some beasts that can use raw material weapons can be brought, such as demon apes, half-demon, and fox demons. These kinds of beasts are weak and can be brought with them. A primitive weapon." Xiao Si replied quickly.

Li Mu nodded, slightly regretful.

In order to prevent Xiao Jin from suffering too much damage when participating in this beast battle, Li Mu proposed to refine a set of armor and a spiritual stick for a period of time. If he cannot bring weapons and armor to the field, he can only use a blood iron wood to carry it. .

Soon, under the guidance of the servant, Li Mu was led to a registration office at the backstage of the beast fighting. There were already many beast masters with various monsters registering to test their strength.

Looking around, various second-level monsters followed their masters and lined up to be inspected by a golden elixir monk.

The violent bear demon, the red-blooded wolf demon, the ghost-toothed black snake, the ghost-eyed blue lizard..., each monster looks fierce and huge.

"Senior, you can take out the beast control and queue up to sign up." The young man in the Qi Refining Realm looked at the team of monster beasts in awe and motioned to Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded, took out the spirit beast bag, and summoned Xiao Jin.

With a "swish" sound, a blue-eyed golden ape that was half a head taller than Li Mu appeared next to Li Mu.

"Senior, is this your beast? It's not yet an adult! Why don't you wait until it grows up?" The boy looked at the second-level monsters in front of him that were tall and strong, and reminded Li Muchao kindly.

"Squeak!" Xiao Jin felt the boy's contempt and moved his head in front of him, looking at him with a pair of green eyes.

The boy's face immediately turned pale, frightened by the strong demonic power overflowing from Xiao Jin's body.

"Stay in line and don't mess around!" Li Mu gave Xiaojin an angry pat on the head and signaled.
