Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

The owner of the spiritual plant shop stretched out his index finger and poked it back and forth in the grid of dead seeds to select useful spiritual seeds.

This grid is usually used to place broken spiritual seeds. The owner of the spiritual plant shop carefully selected and found no valuable spiritual seeds. He was worried that he would be careless and sell the valuable spiritual seeds, so he was troubled.

"Boss, I plan to recycle these dead seeds and feed them to chickens, so there's no need to do this!" Li Mu laughed and joked.

Hearing this, the owner of the spiritual plant shop immediately lost his temper: "Take a piece of broken spirit, take it away!"

Li Mu nodded with a smile, happily paid a broken spirit, and collected all the withered seeds in the grid.

Watching Li Mu leave, the owner of the spiritual plant shop felt reluctant to give up, feeling that he had made a loss. However, he did not choose any useful spiritual seeds among the withered seeds.

Is it possible that that kid can really turn waste into treasure?

Leaving Lingzhi Store, Li Mu turned into a deserted alley to inspect the harvest.

Li Mu quickly picked out two shriveled spiritual seeds from dozens of withered seeds. Under the influence of his innate magical power of identifying all spirits, the two still active spiritual seeds showed their original attributes.

Unfortunately, in order to gather the Yin, high-level snake monsters are required to accompany them. The planting conditions and growth environment of the two spiritual seeds are very harsh, and Li Mu cannot meet their needs.

These two spiritual seeds could no longer be used in a short period of time. Li Mu sighed and put them in the storage compartment. One day he might be able to plant them or sell them to exchange for minor resources.

The remaining withered seeds were dead objects. Li Mu casually threw them in the corner, walked out of the dark alley, and continued to wander around the market in Qing'an Town to see if he could pick them up again.

Qing'an Town Market is located on the main street of the town. There are various shops on both sides. There are hundreds of stalls of casual cultivators in remote spots. The casual cultivators set up a stall with a piece of cloth and a wooden table. Various commodities, such as spiritual grains, spiritual fruits, ferocious beast meat, spiritual swords, runes, leather armor, etc., are all dazzling.

People bargaining, introducing products, greeting guests, etc., all kinds of voices come together, people come and go, and it is very lively.

Li Mu scanned stall after stall but found no valuable high-level spiritual objects.

Even though he identified some spiritual objects with a slightly higher rank, Li Mu asked about the price, but all his wishes came to nothing.

These casual cultivators who set up stalls have been hanging out in the market all year round. They are all very shrewd. They at the bottom have nothing good at all. The 'family heirlooms' are all used to deceive people. Anything of slight value is It's marked with a high price, so it's not easy for him to get it.

On a rare trip to the market, Li Mu spent five pieces of broken spirit to buy some talisman paper, preparing to try making talismans. He also spent three pieces of broken spirit to buy half a catty of monster meat to improve his food.

After buying these things, Li Mu didn't dare to go shopping anymore. He only had a few spiritual stones and he wanted to keep them to live on.

Half an hour later, Li Mu returned to the rented yard. Following the instructions of the owner of the spiritual plant shop, he prepared the insecticide liquid that poisoned vermicomposters. He poured half a bottle of black gelatin into two wooden barrels filled with clean water. The liquid, stirred evenly, exuded a pungent stench.

Li Mu used a wooden pole to pick up a wooden barrel filled with black poisonous water and trudged to the spiritual field. Then, he scooped up the insecticide liquid with a wooden ladle and began to kill the insect pests.

Li Muling inspected the rice plants one by one, looking for those with aphids attached to them and watered them down.

The poison was so effective that the worm larvae fell off the rice plants one by one. Their bodies twitched a few times and then died painfully.

An hour passed, and Li Mu finally killed all the aphids in Lingtian.

"Ouch! My waist! This work is really not done by humans!" Li Mu held his lower back with both hands and couldn't help but scream. However, his voice was full of joy. This time the insect plague was safely resolved.

Li Mu rested for a moment, then stood next to the spiritual field with two empty wooden barrels. He made a hand seal with his hands, gathered his limited spiritual power, and silently used the wind and rain technique to replenish water and spiritual power for the insect-infested spiritual rice plants in the spiritual field.

[Calming Wind and Rain is released successfully, proficiency +1]

A text prompt popped up on the virtual screen in front of Li Mu, and a weak spiritual power was successfully released from both hands.

The next moment, a weak spiritual power whirlwind blew up in the sky above the spiritual field, gathering the surrounding spiritual power, and finally turned into droplets of drizzle, submerging into the spiritual field.

From the time when the wind started to when the spiritual rain fell, it lasted for about thirty or forty breaths, and then the wind stopped and the rain stopped.

The spiritual rice in the spiritual field swayed in the wind, as if complaining that the spiritual rain came and went quickly, unable to meet their needs, and they were crying out for food.

Li Mu glanced at the spiritual field, and the properties of the spiritual rice plants were displayed on the virtual light screen.

【Bai Yuling rice (mature stage)】

[Grade: First-order spiritual plant]

[Characteristics: Spiritual rice is fragrant and grows rapidly. 】

[Status: Mature and fruiting stage, lack of spiritual water irrigation, poor growth status. 】

It matures in four months, blooms in one month, and bears fruit in one month: White Jade Spiritual Rice, which can be used to cook spiritual rice. It is a low-level supplement. Spiritual food for spiritual power. 】

Li Mu's face turned red. This was due to his lack of cultivation and the inability to master the art of summoning wind and rain.

The experienced spiritual husband next door, Old Man Zhang, was proficient in the wind-calling and rain-calling technique, and could continuously bring down spiritual rain for two hundred breaths. Compared with him, I was far behind.

Fortunately, Li Mu is still young and recovers quickly enough. If the time is not enough, he can make up for it with a few times.

Li Mu took a short rest, recovered part of his spiritual power, and continued to release the wind and rain technique.

Once, twice, three times,….

In one hour, Li Mu released the Qingfengyu technique seven times in a row, satisfying the spiritual rain needs of the spiritual rice plants.
