Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

The Earth Spirit Ship flew into Yin Yang Valley.

Li Mu carefully took care of the Purple Jade Ganoderma and Yin Po Fruit, and then plunged into the weapon refining room.

Taking out the Painting World Treasure Mansion that had not been fully upgraded from the storage compartment, and floating it in front of him, Li Mu stared at it 2 to check the current status of the Painting World Treasure Mansion.

Under the gift of magical power - identifying all things, the detailed information of the treasure house in the painting world is revealed.

[Painting Realm Treasure House (upgrading)]

[Grade: Seventh-Level Cave Heaven Spiritual Treasure]

[Characteristics: Ruyi in size and shape, imprisoning enemies, gathering spirits (forming a small world within the body), devouring elements and refining spirits, five elements spiritual realm,...]

[Status: Devouring dragon-shaped spiritual veins, earth-vein spiritual marrow, upgrading and speeding up. 】

[The Mysterious Mother Stone, the Divine Essence of Ten Thousand Flowers, the Ethereal Realm Stone, and the fragments of eighth-level Taoist soldiers are refined from eight-level heavenly fire. This spiritual treasure forms a small world of its own. It consumes a large amount of spiritual objects and produces a hundred times the spiritual energy. It can lure the enemy into a world and cultivate it. In order to suppress it, seal the spirit and seize the essence, refine its spirit, refine it into the Five Elements Spiritual Mountain, and swallow a large number of high-level spiritual materials. The law is self-formed. During self-improvement, continue to devour high-level spiritual materials, and you can advance to the eighth level of Cave Heaven Dao within a hundred years. device. 】

Li Mu looked at this information with mixed feelings in his heart. After the treasure of the Painting World Treasure Mansion began to advance, he fed it a large number of high-level spiritual materials, and even a sixth-level spiritual weapon, the Five Elements Spirit Mountain, was refined into it. , there are also seventh-level earth vein spiritual marrow, massive fifth-level, and sixth-level five-element spiritual materials.

However, decades have passed, and it still looks like it is neither dead nor alive to this day.

The requirements for upgrading the Painting World Treasure Mansion are far beyond Li Mu's imagination.

At this moment, the state of the Painting World Treasure Mansion shows that it has devoured the dragon-shaped spiritual veins, and the earth-vein spiritual marrow is in a state of increasing the speed of promotion. However, if there is not a large amount of high-level spiritual materials to continue to be supplied at this time, its promotion speed will It is bound to stagnate.

Li Mu sighed helplessly. The Painting Realm Treasure Mansion was very important to him. The space could hold tens of thousands of acres of spiritual fields, and the large number of spiritual plants planted would be the key for him to continue to improve his cultivation and lay the foundation for the Tao in the future.

No matter how much it consumes, we still need to fully satisfy it and help it advance to the next level as soon as possible.

After Li Mu pondered for a while, his figure flashed and fell into the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion.

The world inside the Painting World Treasure Mansion is rich in spiritual power. There is a Five Elements Spiritual Mountain in the center, which is overflowing with the Five Elements Spiritual Light. Under the Five Elements Spiritual Peak, there are patches of Five Elements Spiritual Fields where different spiritual plants are growing.

These spiritual plants all belong to the Five Elements, and each one contains the essence of creation from heaven and earth. However, at this moment, these spiritual plants all seemed a little languid. It was obviously caused by Li Mu's neglect and lack of water during this period. Some of them were caused by the lack of spiritual materials to assist growth...

Li Mu waved his hand and used the wind and rain technique.

Soon, a spiritual cloud gathered, and the soft rain fell on each spiritual plant. The spiritual rain contained rich spiritual energy that nourished all living things. When it fell on the spiritual plants, it was quickly absorbed by them. As time went by, the originally sluggish spiritual plants began to slowly regain their vitality.

In the space of Huajie Baofu, the concentration of spiritual energy is several times that of Yin-Yang Valley. The effectiveness of the earth's spiritual essence is still there, surrounded by patches of rich spiritual energy. The high-level plants planted in the spiritual fields on Five Elements Mountain are growing gratifyingly.

Li Mu performed the Qingfengyu operation and continued to patrol the spiritual field. Thousands of acres of Tianfeng grass had matured, so he harvested it and gained tens of millions of free proficiency points.

Li Mu used his magic skills continuously to transform himself into a skilled spiritual planter. He donated spiritual seeds, planted thousands of acres of Tianfeng grass, and then took care of the spiritual fields that grew well.

After spending a day, Li Mu took care of the spiritual fields in the Baofu Mansion space, flew up, and landed in the Ling Mansion at the top of the Five Elements Spiritual Mountain. He summoned the Heavenly Fire Artifact Refining Furnace and began to dismantle the Green Wood Sacrifice and extract the mysterious wood from it. of essence.

Before Li Mu prepared to refine the artifacts, he first processed 25 ancient artifacts, either re-refining them or refining them, extracting the spiritual materials and the power of the years, and offered them to the King of Sapphire Ginseng, or fed them back to the Painting World Treasure Mansion.

"Chirp!"

This crisp cry, like the cry of a phoenix, echoed in the void. The sound was not loud, but it reached Li Mu's ears clearly.

Immediately, a blazing purple-gold brilliance was seen condensing in the void. In the blink of an eye, a fire spirit had taken shape. It was the fire spirit purple-gold fire phoenix transformed from the extreme sun sky fire!

As soon as the purple-gold fire phoenix appeared, it screamed at Li Mu, its voice full of urgency and urging, seeming to urge Li Mu to give it benefits.

"This guy will never change his nature!" Li Mu smiled bitterly. He had expected this scene, and then threw a prepared fire spiritual material at the Purple Gold Fire Phoenix.

Jiyang Tianhuo has a violent temper. As a master, although he can command it, he cannot overdo it. He can only use this method to please it.

The purple-gold fire phoenix spread its wings and swallowed all the spiritual materials into its belly. Then it swayed and cleverly condensed a purple-gold flame refining furnace in the air.

This refining furnace exudes blazing golden flames, as if even the void is trembling, which shows how high the temperature is.

Li Mu waved his hand and summoned an ancient weapon from the Jiuzang Spiritual Bead - the Aoki Sacrifice Battle.

After thousands of years of erosion, the Aoki Sacrificial Battle has turned into a very ordinary wooden battle, just like a dead tree. The surface is pitted and full of cracks, obviously it is very old.

However, with the innate ability to identify all spirits, Li Mu was able to see the precious spiritual materials contained in them.

This time, what Li Mu wanted to refine was not the ancient artifact itself, but the special spiritual material contained inside it - the essence of the mysterious wood.

Li Mu threw the Green Wood Sacrifice into the Heavenly Fire Refining Furnace, quickly kneaded the secret in his hand, and streams of spiritual power surged out from his fingertips and entered the refining furnace.

In the same way, the sacrificial war made from the seventh-level spiritual material - Taixuan wood crystal, the essence of Taiyin, and the Qingmu spiritual root is extremely strong. It took a long time for the Extreme Yang Sky Fire to be able to be refined and burnt its surface. The years and years of patina cannot shake it even for a moment.

Feeling the difficulty of refining this time, Ji Yang Sky Fire seemed to be in a hurry. There was nothing it could not burn. It revealed the source of the open fire, and the flame temperature in the refining furnace suddenly increased.

Seeing this, Li Mu took the opportunity to inject a large amount of spiritual energy to boost the Extreme Yang Sky Fire.

Soon, the green wood sacrificial war in the sky fire refining furnace started to burn, and wisps of green and light black wood essence escaped.

Li Mu regained his energy, and took out a gas bottle while he was distracted. He remotely controlled the Heavenly Fire Refining Furnace to collect the essence of the mysterious wood.

At this moment, a small five-color snake appeared out of thin air and came from the sky. A pair of black eyes stared at the black wood essence absorbed by the Naqi bottle.

Seeing this scene, Li Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly. The weapon spirit of the Painting World Treasure Mansion is really a dog-nosed person! He never takes the initiative to show up on weekdays. When he brings out good things, he is always the first to show up.

"I still need to use this black wood essence, and I'll give you the rest when it's used up!" Li Mu reluctantly conveyed his spiritual thoughts and signaled.

The five-colored little snake glanced at Li Mu and refused to leave. It flew down on Li Mu's head and lay cross-body. Its eyes were always staring at the Xuanmu essence, as if it was unwilling to leave without taking a share of the pie. .

Li Mu was angry and laughing at the same time. Fortunately, this time there was a lot of black wood essence. After meeting the needs of the Jade Ginseng King, there was still a lot left for the Painting World Treasure Mansion.

Half an hour passed.

The Xuanmu Essence stored in the Qingmu Sacrifice was completely drained, and 280,000 strands of Xuanmu Essence were obtained, which was much less than Li Mu originally expected. He suspected that it had been embezzled by Ji Yang Sky Fire, and the entire Sacrifice also followed. It was burned and absorbed by the extreme Yang sky fire.

Mu assisted the fire, this time dismantling a seventh-level damaged Taoist weapon, and Jiyang Tianhuo also gained a lot of benefits.

However, without evidence, Li Mu had no choice but to give up.

Putting away the gas bottle, Li Mu continued to dismantle the remaining ancient artifacts with a burst of energy.

…

Time flies, and half a month has passed.

Li Mu came out of the refining room in high spirits and with a happy face. He had gained a lot and was ready to take care of the two spiritual plants before continuing to refining the equipment.

At this moment, two figures were speeding up above Linggu.

The smile on Li Mu's face dropped and he stopped cooking Lingtian.

"Xue'er, boil some water to make tea and entertain the guests!" Li Mu greeted Xue'er who was cooking a spiritual meal in the kitchen.

"Hey!" Xue'er responded.

Li Mu used his hand pinch technique to untie the protective formation of Yin Yang Valley and let them enter the valley.

Not long after, they saw the Kun family, Lord Tianshang and Lord Kun Ling flying into the valley and slowly landing in front of Li Mu.

"Master Li, long time no see!"

Lord Kunling looked at Li Mu and greeted him warmly.

"Two seniors, long time no see!" Li Mu came forward to greet them and led them into the pavilion to reminisce.

The three of them sat separately in the pavilion. Xue'er served the spirit tea in time. They both glanced at Xue'er with a strange expression. However, Xue'er wore a spirit fox mask and disguised her appearance, making it difficult for them to peek. to the root.

"Master Li, we plan to go to Zhongzhou in the near future. I wonder if you are interested in accompanying us?" Tianshang Zun turned to look at Li Mu and asked straight to the point.

Hearing this, Li Mu looked at Lord Tian Shang and Lord Kun Ling in confusion, and asked doubtfully: "Seniors, something happened, and they are going to the Zhongzhou territory. Is it possible that the Kun family is preparing to abandon the Southern Wilderness?"

Hearing this, Lord Tianshang and Lord Kunling looked at each other and were surprised by Li Mu's sensitive intuition.

"Master Li's eyes are as bright as fire, that's true! The Kun family is planning to give up on the Southern Wilderness." Lord Kun Ling nodded and admitted directly.

"Master Li, you have been living in seclusion in Yin Yang Valley. There are some things you don't know. The power behind the Nine Demon Sect is extraordinary. The Demon Abyss Passage has not yet been opened. Xuantian Sword Sect and Taiyi Sect can still persist. Once The forces of the Demon Abyss have entered the Southern Wilderness, and by then it may be too late to evacuate!" Tianshang Zun said with a solemn expression on his face as he introduced in a deep voice.

"Indeed, Master Li, this time the Kun family is planning to evacuate some family disciples first. The two domains are thousands of miles apart. The journey is long and dangerous. If you don't mind, master, please leave with the Kun family fleet!" Master Kun Lingzun Looking at Li Mu, his eyes were sincere, as if inviting him to tide over the difficulties.

"Thank you two seniors for the invitation. I wonder how long the current situation can remain in stalemate?" Li Mu looked at the two of them with firm eyes, but deep concern was revealed in his words.

Facing the Kun family's invitation, how could Li Mu not be tempted? He also wanted to leave the dangerous place of Southern Wilderness as soon as possible. However, the four beast masters have still not returned since their adventure, and the two Yin and Yang spiritual plants are still some time away from maturity.

These two things are things that Li Mu can't let go of for the time being. He couldn't escape easily, otherwise, he would have agreed to Taiyi Sect and fled the Southern Wilderness Continent with the ship.

"Well, the situation is not very clear. Now, 70% of the sects and forces in the Immortal City of Nanhuang have been attacked by the Nine Demons Sect. Several sects and immortal cities have fallen one after another. The Xuantian Sword Sect, Taiyi Sect, and the forces of Nanhuang have all been attacked. Although the coalition formed can resist it, the follow-up power will be difficult to maintain. If you are lucky, it may be able to hold on for another hundred and eighty years. If the situation worsens, the Nine Demon Sect may be able to invade the entire Southern Wilderness within a few years. Spiritual realm." Lord Kunling looked at Li Mu and introduced in detail.

"Indeed! The current situation is very dangerous. Master Li should not hesitate, it is better to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible." Lord Tianshang felt heavy and Luxu advised again.

Li Mu nodded silently to express his understanding. The situation in Southern Wilderness was indeed not good, and he knew that he could not stay in Southern Wilderness for a long time, but...

Li Mu gave a bitter smile and looked at the two nobles who responded helplessly: "Thank you for your concern. Now, I can't leave the Southern Wilderness for the time being. When will the latest batch of the Kun family evacuate? If there is a chance, I will evacuate later." I’ll take a ride later, and I’ll be waiting for some of my companions to come back!”

"So that's it!" Lord Tianshang nodded understandingly, understanding Li Mu's decision. If not forced by the situation, the Kun family would not be willing to evacuate the treasure land of Nanhuang that has been operated for hundreds of years.

"Probably, several batches should be evacuated in the past few years, and the last batch will be about ten years later! Master Li, in ten years, we should be able to wait for your companions to return!" Kun Lingzun knew how much Li Mu had on hand. He is a beast-controlling person with good qualifications, so he asked specifically.

Li Mu smiled softly, glanced in the direction of Lingtian, and responded: "It shouldn't take that long!"

With the double-horned blue moon dragon and Xiao Jin's cultivation progress, it will take less than ten years for them to come out of the mysterious ruins. What's more, Xiao Jin has already survived the thunder tribulation, so his return date should be soon!

"Then it's settled. We will leave in ten years and wait until we reach the Central Continent. By then, the Cangyuan Secret Realm will have almost begun. At that time, the Kun family is willing to invite Master Li to my Kun family as a guest to explore this place together. Cangyuan Secret Realm." Lord Kunling looked at Li Mu firmly, expressed his sincerity again, and extended a warm invitation.

Li Mu frowned slightly, hesitating in his heart. He knew this was the Kun family's good intention, but he couldn't agree easily.

Xuantian Sword Sect and Taiyi Sect also extended an invitation to him and went to Central Continent. Being caught between so many forces, this kind of issue was really difficult to decide.

"Well, it's still early, let's talk about this later!" Li Mu finally shook his head and responded with some embarrassment.

Seeing this, Lord Kunling and Lord Tianshang looked at each other and exchanged their eyes, feeling a little helpless.

The news about the strongman dispute between Xuantian Sword Sect and Taiyi Sect due to Li Mu some time ago was inevitably known to them. This was also the reason why they suddenly visited Li Mu.

This matter is destined to be impossible to force.

"Yes, it's still early, and there may be some variables. Let's wait until the time comes to discuss everything!" Lord Tianshang spoke quickly to smooth things over.

"Thank you, senior, I understand!" Li Mu looked at the two of them gratefully and expressed his gratitude.

Soon, the three of them drank spiritual tea and continued chatting. The main topic revolved around the Xuantian Sword Sect, the war between Taiyi Sect and the Nine Demons Sect. The two of them introduced Li Mu, who lived in seclusion in Yin Yang Valley and had no ears to foreign affairs. It tells about the direction of this war and the unknown inside story. (End of chapter)
