Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Time flies and two months pass in the blink of an eye.

The ancient city is more lively than ever. The auction of Wanbao Pavilion is about to be held. Heroes from all walks of life are gathering here, just to participate in this grand auction feast.

At Wanhua Manor, Lin Baoqing came to the door again, presented Li Mu with an auction order, and invited him to participate in the auction.

"Let's take a look! I'll go take a look when I have time." Li Mu smiled and accepted the order to participate in the filming.

"Master Li, this auction is different from previous auctions. Xuantian Sword Sect and Taiyi Sect also brought out many valuable spiritual objects for the auction..." Lin Baoqing enthusiastically recommended to Li Mu.

"Yes, yes. Recently, several distinguished guests have sent and photographed some spiritual objects that Master Li needs. This is the catalog. Please take a look at it!" Lin Baoqing nodded happily and presented a white jade slip respectfully. This jade slip is no small matter. It contains a list of all auction items in the Wanbao Pavilion auction, which records in detail the names, attributes, levels, current bids and other information of various items.

Li Mu took the jade slip, glanced at it with his consciousness, and suddenly there was a slight fluctuation in his heart. This auction actually contains the sixth-level spiritual medicine - Nine Yang Spiritual Grass, the sixth-level spiritual plant - Purple Void Spiritual Bamboo, the seventh-level spiritual material - Gilded World Crystal... The appearance of these high-level spiritual objects is indeed beyond him. unexpected.

"How can I get into Master Li's eyes?" Lin Baoqing looked at Li Mu and asked with concern.

"Yeah! I want some spiritual objects. Shopkeeper Lin, can you communicate with me and let's deal privately?" Li Mu nodded and looked at Lin Baoqing and signaled.

Private transactions before auctions are not uncommon. In many cases, in order to protect certain special items from being acquired by outsiders, or to save some trouble during the auction process, both parties often choose private transactions after some communication.

"Master Li, don't worry, I will communicate with the client as soon as possible and try to get these spiritual objects for you, but..." Lin Baoqing paused slightly, showing hesitation.

"But what?" Li Mu looked at Lin Baoqing and asked.

"These spiritual objects are rare, and the people who put them up for auction will definitely not sell them easily. Moreover, all major forces are participating in this auction, so the competition will be fierce." Lin Baoqing looked at Li Mu and slowly expressed his concerns.

"I understand what you mean." Li Mu nodded and said, "You just have to do your best. You can be more relaxed about the price. If it doesn't work, think of another way!"

"Understood!" Lin Baoqing breathed a sigh of relief and nodded happily.

"Master Li, if there is nothing else, Lin will not disturb you for now." Lin Baoqing said goodbye to Li Mu.

"Shopkeeper Lin, wait a moment!" Li Mu thought of something and called out to the other party.

Lin Baoqing turned his head and looked at Li Mu doubtfully, waiting for the next words.

"What's the result of that 'Senior Zhuang''s investigation?" Li Mu looked at Lin Baoqing and asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Lin Baoqing frowned, showing a strange look, and said helplessly: "This person behaves in a low-key manner. I ordered people to keep an eye on him and investigated him for two months. I didn't get any useful information. I really can't find out the last time he applied powder." The thoughtfulness of your actions!”

Li Mu nodded in understanding and said calmly: "If I guessed correctly, this person should be inextricably linked to the Nine Demons Sect. Last time, I discussed with Shopkeeper Lin about taking your merchant ship to the Zhongzhou Spiritual Realm. Let’s give it up! Can Shopkeeper Lin provide me with a chart to the Zhongzhou territory, and Li will find another way.”

Hearing this, Lin Baoqing was shocked and asked in surprise: "Master Li, do you mean that the Nine Demons Sect will attack our merchant ships?"

Li Mu nodded lightly and said: "If you guessed correctly, this person should be coming for me. I will continue to take your merchant ship. It will not be surprising that the Nine Demon Sect will attack your merchant ship in order to deal with me. !”

"This, how is this possible? Our guards are not easy to mess with!" Lin Baoqing said in disbelief.

"Shopkeeper Lin, don't forget, the Nine Demons Sect doesn't even look down on Xuantian Sword Sect and Taiyi Sect. How can the Nine Demons Sect not dare to provoke a business organization like Wanbao Pavilion?" Li Mu said with a chuckle. "Besides, the resources your pavilion provides to the two Immortal Sects are still few! I'm afraid the Nine Demons Sect is also waiting for this opportunity to attack Wanbao Pavilion!"

Hearing this, Lin Baoqing was speechless for a moment, and his heart was suddenly in confusion. Li Mu's words were like a sharp sword, piercing his fantasy. Only then did he realize that the situation Wanbao Pavilion was about to face was more dangerous than he imagined.

Lin Baoqing took a deep breath, calmed down, looked at Li Mu and said: "Master Li is absolutely right. I will prepare a chart for you to the Zhongzhou territory as soon as possible. In the meantime, do you need any help from me? The place?"

Li Mu smiled and shook his head and said: "No, when the auction is over, Li will find another way to go to Zhongzhou. By then, it is unclear whether the Nine Demons Sect will continue to take action against Wanbao Pavilion's merchant ships. Shopkeeper Lin, you have to take a complete plan."

Lin Baoqing nodded and said, "Thank you, Master Li, for reminding me. I will inform the Pavilion Master about this and be prepared to deal with the Nine Demon Sect."

Li Mu smiled and said nothing more, watching Lin Baoqing leave.

Time flies, three days pass, and the Wanbao Pavilion auction arrives as scheduled.

During these three days, Li Mu lived in seclusion, refining elixirs in the space of the Painting World Treasure Mansion. It was not until the Wanbao Pavilion auction was officially held that he took Xueer to the auction.

"Master Li, I have been put on the stage for auction before. This Wanbao Pavilion is so abominable!"

In the VIP room, Xueer felt sad at the scene, and couldn't help but think about being imprisoned in a cage and attending the Wanbao Pavilion auction.

Hearing this, Li Mu laughed and couldn't help but think of that time. When he participated in the auction, he was just a young monk in the Foundation Establishment Realm. At that auction, he even picked up a big leak and obtained the Nebula View. Think about this heaven-level high-grade spiritual consciousness technique.

"Master Li, you are actually laughing at me. Were you also at that auction?" Xueer looked at Li Mu with shame and asked.

"Indeed! I bought Xiaowa at that auction!" Li Mu laughed and explained.

"I see, why didn't you buy me in the first place! In this way, we can get to know each other earlier!" Xueer suddenly realized and asked curiously.

"You! You are much more expensive than Xiaowa! At that time, I couldn't compete." Li Mu laughed and explained with a smile.

Hearing this, Xueer narrowed her eyes slightly, showing a look of satisfaction.

Seeing Xue'er's expression, Li Mu laughed. He didn't know what she was so proud of, and quickly said: "When I took the photo of Xiao Wa, it was just an egg, without even one level. However, now, Xiao Wa has successfully crossed over. After going through the Transformation Thunder Tribulation, your strength has reached the mid-sixth level, and you! At that time, you already had three tails and had the strength of the mid-level third level. Now, you are only at the fifth level, you still need to work hard!"

Hearing this, Xueer's face collapsed, she was greatly shocked, and her heart was full of bitterness and helplessness.

This is indeed the case. When Xiao Wa and Xiao Jin followed Li Mu, their strength was far inferior to their own. However, today, they have all survived the thunder tribulation of transformation, and their strength has entered the sixth level.

"It's not fair. The reason why Xiao Wa and Xiao Jin can grow so fast is because Mr. Li taught them the cultivation techniques and provided a large amount of elixirs and elixirs!" Xue'er argued with dissatisfaction. road.

Hearing this, Li Mu chuckled, shook his head and said, "You can't blame me for that. The cultivation techniques I provided to Xiao Wa and Xiao Jin were suitable for their bloodlines and physiques. As for elixirs and elixirs, I'm never in short supply. To you, Xueer, you must know that the skills inherited by your talented bloodline are not weaker than the training skills I taught you. Xiao Wa and Xiao Jin are not able to achieve such achievements only because of the training skills I provided them. Laws and resources, you should look for your own reasons."

Hearing this, Xueer opened her mouth and wanted to argue again, but was speechless. Master Li always treated everyone equally. She was not short of elixirs, elixirs, and spiritual treasures. In fact, the resources she received were even greater than those of Xiao Wa, Xiaojin, there are a lot more of them.

This indirectly proves that Mr. Li cares more about himself.

After thinking about this, Xue'er approached Li Mu, lowered her head slightly, glanced at him secretly with a pair of bright eyes, and said softly with a hint of shame and apology: "Master Li, I know I was wrong, and I will work harder in the future. Those who practice!”

Seeing Xue'er's well-behaved appearance, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a little soft in his heart, and said with a smile: "Yeah! It's good to know! Now that you have realized your mistake, you must work harder in the future and don't let me down."

After saying that, Li Mu turned his eyes to look out the window.

At this time, Lin Baoqing was on the auction stage, leading the auction.

Lin Baoqing waved his hand, and a bright green light shone on the auction stage, and a tall and mighty green wooden tripod appeared on the auction stage.

This Dharma Cauldron is green in color and engraved with various complex runes. Dragons and phoenixes are soaring on the cauldron, and mythical beasts are galloping. It shows its ancient charm. Just its appearance changes the atmosphere of the entire auction venue, as if there is a trace of mystery. The power overflowed from the cauldron, making all the Nascent Soul cultivators and Spirit Transformation cultivators present feel moved by it.

Lin Baoqing held up the Dharma tripod with both hands and raised it high above his head. The Dharma Cauldron seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly released a ray of green light. Immediately afterwards, green spiritual patterns flew out from the cauldron, condensing into a huge green dragon in the air.

The cyan dragon roared, circling and flying in the venue, and the cyan light it released instantly turned into countless Yimu's rejuvenating power, nourishing and repairing the spiritual power and bodies of the cultivators present.

"This cauldron is called the 'Aoki Dharma Cauldron'. It is a sixth-level mid-grade spiritual treasure. It is refined from the sixth-level Aoki Mysterious Qi, the sixth-level Taiyin Wood, the sixth-level Taixuan Boundary Stone, and the Taiyi Restoration Array. It contains the universe, can absorb the Sumeru, and can foster spiritual plants. It also has a powerful effect of restoring spirits and reviving the body. It is a rare treasure." Lin Baoqing's voice echoed in the venue.

Under the auction stage, all the cultivators' eyes lit up.

"How much space is there for this tripod to be planted?" someone couldn't help but ask.

Lin Baoqing replied with a smile: "The spirit space of this tripod is about one thousand acres of spiritual land, which can be used as a mobile medicine cattail. In addition, the spirit recovery and restoration effect attached to it is the most powerful among many Yimu spirit treasures."

Hearing this, there was another commotion in the venue.

Some people lamented: "This treasure is really good at restoring energy, but its attack power is lacking!"

Some people frowned and said, "Who refined this spiritual treasure? This refining technique is a bit useless!"

Someone even asked directly: "Shopkeeper Lin, how much will this cauldron be auctioned for?"

"Here, the starting price is 50,000 high-grade spiritual stones! Limited time: 100 interest." Lin Baoqing announced loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone started to quote and bid. After a while, the auction price displayed on the bidding platform exceeded one hundred thousand, and the number of people participating in the auction immediately became sparse.

Li Mu frowned, hesitating whether to participate in the auction.

Li Mu took a fancy to this Dharma Cauldron, which has a spiritual space for cultivating spiritual plants. The space in the Painting World Treasure Mansion is much larger than this spiritual treasure. However, it is currently in the upgrade stage, and it is inconvenient to plant too many spiritual plants in it.

Li Mu needs such a spiritual treasure that has a spiritual space and can continue to nourish spiritual plants as a backup.

If there were corresponding spiritual materials for this spiritual cauldron, Li Mu could also refine one, and the function and space would be much greater than this. However, the several sixth-level spiritual materials used to refine this spiritual cauldron would take just a moment and a half. It’s really hard to put together.

Thinking of this, Li Mu did not hesitate to put his consciousness into the auction order and enter the bidding price.

Lin Baoqing, who is always paying attention to the progress of the bidding, was slightly stunned when he saw the latest quotation of the VIP room number, and then a trace of doubt emerged in his heart. Why would Master Li be interested in this spiritual treasure?

"120,000 high-grade spiritual stones, is there anyone else who bids?" Lin Baoqing came to his senses and hurriedly asked, preparing to drop the hammer to confirm the deal.

There was not much response from the monks present. There were too many high-level spiritual weapons in this auction. The function of this spiritual cauldron was too useless. Except for a few favorite wood-type monks, not many people participated in the competition.

The price of 120,000 high-grade spiritual stones, plus some more, is enough to buy a good sixth-level spiritual sword.

Seeing this price, several previous bidders gave up. It wasn't that they couldn't afford the price, but they just felt that this spiritual tripod did not have much value. Rather than spending this price on a useless spiritual weapon, it is better to invest the funds in more valuable items.

"Congratulations, fellow Taoist No. 7, for successfully bidding for 120,000 high-grade spiritual stones to win the sixth-level Aoki Dharma Cauldron!" When the time came, Lin Baoqing dropped the hammer heavily and announced happily.

"Next, I would like to invite you for the next lot." Lin Baoqing looked around the audience and announced loudly.

As soon as Lin Baoqing finished speaking, the magic formation on the auction table flickered. Under the gaze of everyone, the figure of the 'Aoki Dharma Cauldron' disappeared and was replaced by a gleaming purple thunder sword.

The moment this purple thunder bamboo sword appeared, all eyes fell on the purple thunder sword.

The purple thunder snake flowing on the sword of the purple thunder sword seems to be alive. At the connection between the sword body and the hilt, a blue gem is inlaid, which contains the violent power of thunder. The sword is covered with The thunder lines seemed to have currents flowing around, giving people a very strong sense of shock.

On the auction stage at this moment, Lin Baoqing's voice sounded again.

"Purple Jade Thunder Bamboo Sword, sword length: four feet three, made from sixth-order purple jade thunder bamboo, sixth-order sky thunder crystal, and sixth-order sycamore thunder wood. This sword comes from Taiyi Sect: the hand of Master Xuanzhen,... ..." Lin Baoqing continued to introduce the situation of the Purple Jade Thunder Bamboo Sword.

Listening to Lin Baoqing's introduction, the monks in the venue whispered to each other and discussed.

Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the sword body. His consciousness was slightly widened, observing it from a distance and referring to its refining techniques. (End of chapter)
