Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

The three Tribulation Cultivators all have a storage bag, which stores a lot of spirit stones. There are more than 300 spirit stones in total. They also store many damaged instruments, including poisonous throwing knives, crossbow arrows, and hunting equipment with traps. , at first glance, he looks like the kind of hunting cultivator who often goes out to kill and hunt.

Their appearance was a wake-up call for Li Mu. Selling magic talismans in the casual cultivator market was too eye-catching, and he didn't know how many people were jealous of his business.

Today, three tribulation cultivators were targeting him. What about next time, five? Ten?

One day, there will be a calamity cultivator that Li Mu cannot handle.

Once he is intercepted and killed by Jie Xiu, even his life will be lost, and the few spiritual stones earned by setting up a stall will become theirs.

Li Mu sighed and decided to give up setting up a stall and continue farming in the mountains.

The more spiritual plants he harvested from farming, the stronger he would be. Setting up a stall to earn spiritual stones, Li Mu decided to wait until he established a foundation before considering it again.

Li Mu decided to go to Wanbao Pavilion in a few days to bring the ordered refining furnace back to the mountain. After that, he would stay in the mountain and concentrate on farming, and would never go down easily if nothing happened.

Time flies and three days pass.

Li Mu quietly came to Wanbao Pavilion to pick up the goods as requested.

After paying the order balance of 180 Zhongling to Lin Huirong, Li Mu successfully obtained the Yanyang Refining Furnace and put it in his storage bag.

Seeing that Li Mu had collected the refining furnace and was about to leave, Lin Huirong quickly said something to persuade her to stay: "Master Li, the auction in our pavilion is about to begin. Aren't you going to participate?"

"Next time! I don't have enough spiritual stones." Li Mu declined with a smile.

During these days of setting up a stall, Li Mu purchased a lot of refining spirit mines. A set of five elements second-order spirit swords could not be refined, but he could refine a lot of first-order spirit swords.

Now that the refining furnace is in hand, it is not a problem to refine a batch of first-order spiritual swords. However, the Five Elements Sword Formation cannot be assembled. Li Mu decided to practice the Seven-Star Sword Formation first, a seven-star sword formation composed of seven first-order gold-type spiritual swords. .

"Master Li, our pavilion's auction is held once every three years. If you missed it this time, you will have to wait a long time next time!" Lin Huirong couldn't help but feel anxious and reminded Li Muchao again.

Hearing this, Li Mu frowned and hesitated.

However, when he thought about the possibility that a large number of calamity cultivators would appear after the auction, Li Mu immediately did not want to get involved in this muddy water.

As long as he keeps farming and harvesting the plant spirits, he can continue to be strong. With such a heaven-defying talent, Li Mu doesn't want to die before he can grow up.

Therefore, Li Mu determined that he must work hard and avoid participating in any risky activities. Try not to participate and eliminate all risks.

After Li Mu made up his mind, he decisively refused: "There's nothing I can do about it. I'm short on money, and I don't have any spiritual stones to spend at the auction. Let's talk about it next time we have a chance! Goodbye, Miss Lin!"

After saying that, Li Mu hurriedly left Wanbao Pavilion. Lin Huirong called several times, but he didn't look back.

"Sister Lin, he is your potential client! He is so determined to leave!" A female cultivator in a red dress walked up behind Lin Huirong and said with disgust.

"I don't know what motivated him, but he clearly has the financial resources of a first-level talisman master to qualify to participate!" Lin Huirong sighed in confusion, disappointed at losing a potential performance.

Today, Wanbao Pavilion was very busy. Lin Huirong had no time to sigh. She continued to entertain other customers with a warm smile.

Return to Xiaoliangshan safely.

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, put the second-level Yanyang refining furnace into the refining room, and inserted a medium-grade spiritual stone into the dozens of spiritual stone grids on the refining furnace.

As the spirit stone was embedded, Li Mu activated the weapon array of the weapon refining furnace. With a 'boom', a burst of high-temperature flames suddenly ignited in the weapon refining furnace.

This high-temperature flame is the Yanyang Spiritual Fire generated by the Yanyang Formation built into the Yanyang Refining Furnace.

Relying on this kind of spiritual fire, you can easily calcine the second-level spiritual ore and melt the refining materials.

This second-level Yanyang refining furnace is easy to use, but it burns spirit stones very quickly. Eighteen medium-grade spirit stones can only be used for three or four days if the refining furnace is turned on around the clock.

Now, the weapon refining furnace activated the Flame Formation in the furnace, which was burning spiritual stones. Li Mu did not dare to delay, and began to take out twelve pieces of first-level black iron ore and began to try to refine the weapon.

The fire in the furnace was blazing, illuminating the entire refining room, and the black iron in the furnace gradually softened.

Li Mu picked up the iron tongs and clamped the red black iron ore onto the forging table. Then, he picked up a hammer and started hitting it "ping ping ping ping pong". With each strike, spiritual power surged out and poured into the hammer. It hit the black iron hard and sparks flew everywhere.

"Dang-dang..." After being struck again and again, the texture of the red iron block gradually became firmer and its volume continued to shrink.

About half an hour later, the volume of all the black iron blocks had shrunk to about one-fifth.

Li Mu quenched and refined twelve pieces of black iron in one go, and then put the tempered black iron concentrate into the refining furnace for the final calcination.

Soon, the high-temperature scorching sun flames of the refining furnace quickly melted the twelve black iron blocks into a ball of molten black iron. Under the control of Li Mu's spiritual consciousness, it slowly flowed out from the mouth of the refining furnace and flowed into a The sword embryo is in the mold.

After the black iron liquid in the sword embryo mold solidified into a block, Li Mu used iron pliers to pinch it out, placed it on the forging table, and started beating it.

The weapon refining technique has not yet been recorded on the panel. Li Mu can only forge the sword embryo according to the content recorded in "The Essence of Weapon Refining". However, he tries to carve the base of the weapon on the weapon embryo, condense the weapon pattern, and learn the weapon refining technique.

Li Mu held the Spirit Gathering Hammer tightly, which was similar to a talisman pen and was specially used to forge weapon embryos as a refining tool for its Gathering Device pattern.

Li Mu followed the key points of knowledge recorded in "The Essence of Weapon Refining" to gather spiritual power in his palm and inject it into the Spirit Gathering Hammer. Each additional strike of spiritual power would be injected into the black iron sword embryo. The spiritual power quickly condensed in the fiery red weapon embryo. , condensed into a vessel pattern.

One hammer, two hammers, three hammers,..., Li Mu consumed his consciousness and spiritual power to forge the embryo again and again.

"Ding!" There was a crisp sound, and the black iron sword suddenly shone with a spiritual light and made a low sword cry.

Done?

Li Mu couldn't wait to look at the character virtual panel.

[Ding, you successfully refined a first-level spirit sword, you learned the weapon refining technique, and your weapon refining skill proficiency +1.]

Li Mu couldn't help but feel happy when he saw a new prompt appearing in the virtual log. He had learned the art of weapon refining in one go! It's not in vain that he paid a high price to buy this second-level weapon refining furnace.

This time the weapon refining made Li Mu aware of the powerful auxiliary function of powerful spiritual consciousness in the weapon refining technique. The reason why he was able to learn the weapon refining technique so efficiently was inseparable from the powerful spiritual consciousness brought by the fourth-level God Tempering Art. relation.

His powerful spiritual consciousness allowed Li Mu to clearly 'see' the direction of spiritual power and the condensed state of the spiritual patterns when he was condensing the weapon patterns on the weapon embryo. The difficulty of condensing the weapon patterns was greatly reduced, making it particularly easy to master.

When refining the spiritual talisman, Li Mu also felt the excellent assisting effect of the powerful spiritual consciousness.

Next time you harvest Wind Spirit Grass, you must focus on the Tempering God Art.

Li Mu was happy and made this decision from the bottom of his heart.
