Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Time flies and seven days pass.

Five acres of wind spirit grass were planted in the Lingtian. One acre of spirit rice has sprouted buds, and the other acre of green spirit fruit is growing gratifyingly under Li Mu's careful care.

Li Mu used the wind and rain technique several times to replenish the water in the seven acres of spiritual field.

"Red Wolf, I'm going out for a trip. I'll come back as soon as I go. You should stay at home and don't let the spiritual chicken peck at the rice seedlings." Li Mu explained while looking at the Red Wolf puppy.

"Wangwang!" The red wolf's short tail shook violently and barked at Li Mu twice, as if to say he understood.

"Haha, I'll reward you with a big bone when I come back." Li Mu laughed, stood up with his sword, and flew towards Qing'an Town, preparing to dispose of the talismans drawn in the past few days and purchase some daily necessities.

Qing'an Town, Liu's Lingfu Shop.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you're here. Please come in quickly. I've just made a pot of spiritual tea for you to try." Shopkeeper Liu of the Spirit Talisman Shop saw Li Mu entering the door and hurriedly came out to greet him and make some tea for him. It's a huge difference from the cold reception in the past.

The last batch of spiritual talismans collected contained extremely strong five-element spiritual power. The talismans had long been sold out and received good feedback from customers. Shopkeeper Liu was eager to supply Li Mu to keep him supplying the goods for a long time.

"There's no need to drink tea. I have other things to do. Let's trade the talismans first!" Li Mu waved his hand and took out four stacks of talismans from an animal skin bag.

Shopkeeper Liu couldn't get what he asked for, so he stretched out his hand to take the talisman and began to count it carefully.

"There are a total of 120 talismans, all of which are five-element talismans. I need to give you 12 talismans." Shopkeeper Liu said excitedly.

"Well, Shopkeeper Liu, do you have second-level talisman books for sale?" Li Mu nodded and asked with concern.

Compared with drawing first-level spiritual talismans, second-level spiritual talismans are more profitable, and they can also prepare some self-defense. Unfortunately, second-level talisman books are expensive and not so easy to buy.

"For the second-level talisman book, you have to go to the sect to exchange it, or go to Wanbao Pavilion to try your luck." Shopkeeper Liu handed a spiritual stone bag to Li Mu and said sheepishly.

Li Mu nodded, took the bag of spirit stones, scanned it with his consciousness, and verified that it was twelve middle-grade spirit stones, yes.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you don't need the talisman paper this time, Lingmo! I just bought a batch of high-quality talisman skins." Shopkeeper Liu enthusiastically recommended it to Li Mu.

"No, I haven't used up what I bought last time. I'll talk to you next time! Shopkeeper Liu, farewell." Li Mu declined with a smile and said goodbye.

"Okay, okay, I'll see you off." Shopkeeper Liu enthusiastically sent Li Mu out of the store.

Li Mu went to the casual cultivator market to buy some monster meat and daily utensils.

Suddenly, Li Mu stopped and his eyes were attracted by a stall of casual cultivators. It was the old Taoist selling Kung Fu techniques.

The old Taoist also saw Li Mu, and while he was surprised, his expression flashed unnaturally.

Li Mu smiled slightly, pretending not to know, and walked towards Lao Tao's stall with a natural expression: "Boss, do you have any breathing techniques for sale? Here's one."

"Yes, yes!" The old Taoist quickly laid out several books on breath gathering techniques.

"Hidden Breathing Technique", "Xuangui Breathing Technique", "Fantasy Breathing Technique", "Turtle Breathing Technique"...,

Good guy, this ghost’s collection of skills is really complete! There were as many as seven books on the techniques for condensing breath. Li Mu was confused for a while and didn't know which technique to start with.

"How do you sell it? Which technique has the best interest-collecting effect?" Li Mu directly asked this question to the old man.

"Each breath-holding technique has different characteristics. Hidden Breath Technique is characterized by condensing the breath, reducing the presence, and avoiding being discovered by monsters. The Xuanwu Breath-fixing Technique simulates the breathing method of the black tortoise, lowers the breath, and prolongs life. ..., Phantom Breath Jue is more focused on regulating the breath, and with profound practice, it can transform and change the breath of cultivation..." The veteran introduced the different characteristics of several exercises.

Li Mu's heart moved and he fell in love with the "Fantasy Breath Technique". The reason why he temporarily decided to purchase the Breath Condensation Technique was to cover up the abnormal improvement in his subsequent cultivation.

Previously, Old Man Zhang and Xu Lijin had discovered the abnormality in his cultivation. Next time, it would not be so easy to deal with it.

"Let me read this "Fantasy Breath Jue"," Li Mu said straight to the point.

"Old rule, you can only read the first three pages." The veteran stall owner handed "Huanxi Jue" to Li Mu.

Li Mu took "Fantasy Breath Jue" and flipped through the three pages honestly, confirming that there was nothing wrong with this book: "How to sell it!"

"200 spirits, these exercise books were purchased from Yanzong, and they cost a lot of money..." The old Taoist explained eloquently to prevent Li Mu from haggling.

Li Mu glanced at the old man, took out two spirit stones from the spirit stone bag, and threw them directly to the other party: "I bought them."

After paying the bill, Li Mu hurriedly left with the "Fantasy Breath Jue" without giving the old Taoist a chance to do anything.

Watching Li Mu leave, the veteran stall owner looked down at the two middle-grade spiritual stones in his hand and stayed there in a daze, with a complicated look on his face.

That boy is not simple!

Before, I was so poor that I only had 15 souls, but now I can get two souls without blinking an eye. It seems that the tracking powder I sprinkled on him was discovered by him! The old Taoist hesitated for something, then finally relaxed and chose to give up.

On the other side, Li Mu scanned his whole body, and after confirming that no one had been touched by the old man, he went straight to Wanbao Pavilion.

"Welcome to Wanbao Pavilion, sir, please come in." When the two female guests saw Li Mu, they saluted and greeted him in unison.

Li Mu walked straight into Wanbao Pavilion and walked towards the counter in charge of Lin Huirong.

"Master Li, welcome, you're here to get the peach wood, right?" Lin Huirong saw Li Mu and quickly stepped forward to greet him warmly.

"Well, let's buy two more squares of spiritual peach wood. Also, does your store sell second-level talisman books?" Li Mu asked with concern.

Lin Huirong was slightly startled and said quickly: "Yes, but the talisman book we sell is relatively complete, involves a higher level of talisman inheritance, and is valuable. The price is: 500 Zhongling."

500 souls were struck. Li Mu was startled by the offer. He blinked and said quickly: "Miss Lin, just pretend I didn't ask! Li can't afford it at this price."

"Haha, Mr. Li is joking. If the second-level talisman book is priced at a lower price, there will only be a broken copy." Lin Huirong explained quickly.

Hearing this, Li Mu's eyes lit up, even a broken copy would do.

As long as you can enter it into the panel, you are not afraid of the remaining copies. Once you learn the talisman formula, you can then level it up with your proficiency points. The knowledge of the remaining copies will be fully restored as the level increases.

"How can I sell the remaining copies of the talisman? If it's cheaper, I'd like to buy a few copies to give away." Li Mu said quickly.

"There aren't that many second-order talisman fragments. I remember there seems to be one in the library. I'll get it. Please wait." Lin Huirong smiled slightly and signaled.

Li Mu nodded and watched her go to get the fragment of the talisman.

Not long after, Lin Huirong came over with a fragment of a second-order talisman and introduced it to Li Mu: "Master Li, this second-order gold talisman is called "Golden Talisman". It records three second-order gold talismans. The magic talisman formulas are: Golden Sword Talisman, Golden Armor Talisman, and Golden Yuan Talisman. However, there is a lack of knowledge about some talismans, and it may be difficult to make talismans according to their drawings. Are you sure you want to buy them?"

"Well, is the magic talisman formula missing badly? How much does it cost?" Li Mu asked with concern.

"There are a lot of missing gold and yuan talismans. The selling price of this talisman is: 20 pieces of spirit." Lin Huirong explained with a smile.

Li Mu frowned, thinking about how to get this talisman fragment.
