Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Li Mu read "Jin Fu Ce" from beginning to end several times, roughly understanding the content it described, and also discovered the important missing parts.

Li Mu tried to digest it and analyze it using the knowledge given by the fourth-level talisman technique.

The fourth-level talisman technique is equivalent to the general outline of spiritual talisman drawing. It gives Li Mu comprehensive knowledge of how to draw spiritual talismans, but it does not give the spiritual talisman formula.

According to the level of the talisman making technique, Li Mu can even draw fourth-level talismans if his spiritual consciousness and cultivation are sufficient. However, he suffers from the lack of a formula for the talisman.

Unlike the "Thousand Machine Puppet Technique", Li Mu obtained the puppet refining technique after learning it, and also learned the seventy-two puppet refining formulas.

Now, Li Mu has learned the three golden talisman drawing formulas from "Golden Talisman Strategy". Although they are partially incomplete, they provide important clues to the formula.

With the blessing of the fourth-level Talisman Making Technique, Li Mu was confident in analyzing and restoring them.

Li Mu began to try to draw the first second-order golden talisman: the golden sword talisman.

Taking out a blank piece of talisman paper, the Langhao pen was stained with spiritual ink. Li Mu's hand holding the pen began to condense the golden spiritual power. He devoted all his consciousness to it and began to draw spiritual patterns on the talisman paper.

The light golden aura condensed on the talisman paper as the tip of Langhao's pen moved.

"Pa!" A light sound.

The talisman paper could not carry a large amount of metal spiritual power, so a stream of black smoke burst out of the talisman paper, and it spontaneously ignited into black ash in an instant.

Li Mu had anticipated this and withdrew early without being affected.

The second-level talisman is really not that easy to draw successfully.

However, Li Mu would not give up. He had found the trick, took out a blank piece of talisman paper, and tried again.

Time passed bit by bit, and three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

After dozens of failures, a golden sword talisman shining with golden light and exuding terrifying spiritual pressure was finally born in Li Mu's hands.

Li Mu was happy, but felt it was natural.

With the fourth-level talisman-making technique and the powerful metal spiritual power, drawing the golden sword talisman is a matter of course.

The golden sword talisman was drawn, and Li Mu continued to draw the golden armor talisman without stopping.

The Golden Armor Talisman and the Golden Sword Talisman come from the same series. With the successful experience of the Golden Sword Talisman, Li Mu is confident that he can draw it in a shorter time.

The first drawing failed, the second drawing failed, the third drawing failed,….

Li Mu was confused after more than a dozen consecutive failures. For a while, he couldn't find the reason for the failure.

Li Mu forced himself to calm down and carefully analyze the reasons for the failure. Although the Golden Armor Talisman and the Golden Sword Talisman belong to the same series, they are essentially different. One is used for offense and the other is for defense. The spiritual path for spiritual pattern transformation should be The difference is that the spiritual attribute should change from sharp to solid...

After understanding this, Li Mu suddenly became enlightened and prepared to try drawing again. However, his hand was empty and he had used up all the talisman paper on the table.

Li Mu was suddenly stunned and looked outside. The sun was rising and the dew was hanging on the branches.

Unknowingly, Li Mu drew the talisman all night without noticing the passage of time.

Li Mu smiled self-deprecatingly, cleaned up, cooked a pot of spiritual rice and meat porridge for Red Wolf, left the yard, and used the green wind and rain technique to water the spiritual field.

After cultivating the immortal body, staying up all night was not a big deal to Li Mu. Li Mu usually relied on cultivation to survive.

Now, with the gift of spiritual cultivation, Li Mu has not practiced at night for a long time.

After finishing the morning's farm work, Li Mu stood up with his sword and flew to Qing'an Town, planning to go to the Talisman Shop to buy a piece of talisman paper.

In Qing'an Town in the early morning, there were few people and shops along the street were opening.

"Shopkeeper Liu, bring me ten stacks of talisman paper and two bottles of spiritual ink." Li Mu greeted Boss Liu who was opening the door.

"Fellow Daoist Li, it's so early, okay, I'll give it to you right now." Shopkeeper Liu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Li Mu and started arranging goods for him.

"By the way, Shopkeeper Liu, do you have any good talisman paper for sale? It's used for drawing second-level talismans!" Li Mu remembered something and asked quickly.

It is much more difficult to draw the second-level talisman. Unlike the first-level talisman, Li Mu is not 100% sure of success and hopes to use other methods to increase the success rate, such as higher-level talisman paper and spiritual ink.

"Yes, to draw the second-level magic talisman, you need to use the second-level demon beast talisman. I just have a batch of second-level demon ape talisman skins. In addition, it is best to use better quality blood essence ink, and then use it with Get a Jinhao talisman pen." Shopkeeper Liu nodded happily, took out a bunch of high-end spiritual objects, and recommended.

"These add up to a lot of spiritual stones, right?" Li Mu looked at the materials in front of him and asked excitedly.

"Haha, this is a necessary investment. It will be worth it if you can draw a second-level spiritual talisman. How about now that Ling Weng can draw a second-level spiritual talisman?" Shopkeeper Liu laughed and looked at Li Mu and asked with concern.

"How many spiritual stones are needed in total for this batch of spiritual objects, plus ten stacks of talisman paper?" Li Mu did not answer Shopkeeper Liu's question and asked straight to the point.

"Ten stacks of talisman paper: 240 lings, a stack of second-level talisman paper: 900 lings, a bottle of second-level essence blood ink: 300 lings, a Jinhao pen: 2000 lings, total: 3440 lings "Fellow Daoist Li, just give me 3,400 spiritual points! I don't know whether I will use spiritual talismans to offset the bill this time, or use spiritual stones to pay the bill." Shopkeeper Liu looked at Li Mu with joy on his face.

Hearing this, Li Mu frowned. He couldn't eat these spiritual objects.

"Shopkeeper Liu, I sold the talisman to Wanbao Pavilion for 12 souls per piece! The price you gave me is a lot lower." Li Mu looked at shopkeeper Liu and said quietly.

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Liu's smile immediately froze, and he quickly begged for mercy: "Friend Li, you misunderstood! Wanbao Pavilion store has many big customers, so they can sell at a higher price, unlike me, who can only sell at a small shop." If you give it to some casual cultivators, the price won’t be high! For example, if you go to Wanbao Pavilion to buy the current batch of spiritual objects and second-level talisman skins, the price will definitely be much higher.”

After listening to Shopkeeper Liu's explanation, Li Mu could understand that the items collected by Wanbao Pavilion were expensive and the items sold were not cheap.

However, understanding is understanding, but this does not mean that Li Mu is willing to sell him the talisman at a low price.

"Fellow Daoist Li, if the quality of the spiritual talisman is stable, I am willing to charge the same price as Wanbao Pavilion." Seeing Li Mu's unmoved look, Shopkeeper Liu gritted his teeth and decided.

Li Mu couldn't help but smile and asked tentatively: "What's the price for the second-level spiritual talisman?"

What!

Shopkeeper Liu's head was pounding, as if he didn't hear clearly. After a while, he finally recovered and asked excitedly: "You, your father, can you refine the second-level spiritual talisman?"

"Yes, what is the price for the second-level spiritual talisman?" Li Mu reiterated.

"It depends on the quality and type of the spiritual talisman. The second-order low-grade, usually 15-20 medium-grade spirits. The second-order upper-grade spiritual talisman: about 30 medium-grade spirits. If it is the second-order top-grade spiritual talisman, the value is: 40 medium-grade spiritual talismans. Fellow Daoist Li, the second-order spiritual talisman refined by your father. Can you take a look at it for me?" Shopkeeper Liu introduced it excitedly and asked imploringly.

Li Mu nodded and took out the golden sword talisman he had just drawn this morning from his arms.

Shopkeeper Liu's heart trembled when he saw the golden sword talisman with extremely strong spiritual pressure. It was really a second-level spiritual talisman! Having opened a spiritual talisman shop for so long, he has seen only a handful of second-level spiritual talismans. This thing is rare to see in a small place like Qing'an Town!

"Fellow Daoist Li, can I part with this magic talisman?" Shopkeeper Liu licked his dry lips and asked tremblingly.

"How much is Shopkeeper Liu willing to take for this talisman?" Li Mu asked with a smile.

"The first-order talisman used for this talisman has limited spiritual power. It only has a low-grade second-order talisman. However, it is a gold attack talisman. I am willing to use 25 spiritual talismans to collect it." Shopkeeper Liu quoted.

"Hmm! How about exchanging this spiritual talisman for these spiritual objects?" Li Mu pointed at the things on the table and suggested.

Shopkeeper Liu couldn't help but hesitate, looked at Li Mu with a wry smile, and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, your price is too harsh."

"If you don't want to change my mind, I'll go to Wanbao Pavilion." Li Mu said calmly.

"I'll change!" Shopkeeper Liu sighed and nodded helplessly.
