Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

The treasure house of the painting world, the five elements spiritual mountain.

Lin Maoshan appeared out of thin air. He stood there, completely confused. He didn't know how he suddenly appeared here. He tried his spiritual sense to explore the surrounding environment. However, this spiritual mountain was huge and vast in scope. His limited Divine consciousness cannot fully explore the scope of this spiritual mountain.

However, this place was filled with the Five Elements Spiritual Energy, which was extremely rich and of extremely high quality. Lin Maoshan took a deep breath and immediately felt countless Five Elements Spiritual Energy pouring in, and his cultivation level was faintly improved.

Recalling that the master had told him to retreat first, Lin Maoshan probably understood that this should be the paradise of the cave where the master practiced.

Lin Maoshan was inexplicably moved that the master had taken so much trouble to send him to this paradise to practice in seclusion. This opportunity was hard-won and must be cherished to live up to the master's expectations.

Lin Maoshan found a flat place, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to concentrate on practicing. The spiritual energy of the five elements poured into his body continuously, nourishing his meridians and Dantian.

Lin Maoshan could feel that his cultivation, which was usually difficult to improve, was steadily improving, as if he felt like he had been reborn.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment. Lin Maoshan was completely immersed in the state of cultivation, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy of the five elements, improving his cultivation, and forgetting the disturbances in the outside world.

Outside, Zhao Tianchen, Liu Yuqian, Ji Hao, Xiao Qingyun, Zhong Yuling and others were also very happy. They were led by the "master" to a blessed place suitable for their Tianling root cultivation. The single five elements aura here was dozens of times richer than the outside world. Hundreds of times, a thousand acres of spiritual fields were opened next to it, and a large number of high-level spiritual plants were planted, filled with the aura of high-level five elements spiritual materials.

Practicing in such a blessed place, I believe that it won't take long for them to advance to the golden elixir level. Not to mention, there will be a 'Shen Transformation Master' with the same spiritual root attributes as them, who will teach them with all their heart. The five of them are overjoyed, and their whole body The heart is devoted to practice.

Li Mu skillfully discarded several named disciples like chess pieces, allowing them to practice and grow independently, while he continued his daily leisurely life, and the disturbances from the outside world had nothing to do with him.

Every morning, when the first ray of sunlight falls on the bluestone in the courtyard, Li Mu will wake up leisurely. He likes to drink spiritual tea leisurely in the courtyard, enjoy a leisurely morning, or cook a pot of spiritual porridge. , spiritual meal, quiet enjoyment.

In the afternoon, Li Mu would lie down on a bamboo chair, holding an ancient book in his hand, whether it was the True Interpretation of Divine Patterns or the Buddhist scriptures, immersed in the sea of ​​books, not seeking to improve his cultivation, nor Passionate about the struggle for power, I just want to enjoy the time in this tranquility.

Of course, Li Mu would also spend some time every month to inspect the spiritual plants planted in the seven spiritual mountains, refine spiritual weapons, draw spiritual talismans, carve puppets, etc.

Time flies by like a flash, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past three years, Li Mu has been staying in Qixuan Sect and has never gone out. His life has been uneventful, but full of contentment and satisfaction.

On this day, the arrival of an uninvited guest broke Li Mu's peaceful life. The visitor was Wang Wenbao, the shopkeeper of Wanbao Pavilion. Under the leadership of Liu Yalan, he appeared in front of Li Mu with a fawning smile and a respectful manner.

"Master Li, long time no see! Your cultivation has become more and more profound." Wang Wenbao bowed his hands and saluted Li Mu, his tone full of respect.

"Well, Shopkeeper Wang doesn't need to be polite."

Li Mu nodded slightly and motioned for the other party to sit down and talk. He was secretly curious as to why Wang Wenbao came here this time.

Li Mu couldn't help but look at Liu Yalan. After she took over the Li Family Treasure House, she was generally responsible for the cooperation with Wanbao Pavilion and the transactions of various high-level spiritual materials. In the past few years, he has not had to interfere.

"Master, shopkeeper Wang is here this time with an unkind invitation. It is of great importance and he wants to tell you face to face." Liu Yalan said softly, with a hint of apology in her tone. Obviously she also knew that Wang Wenbao's visit might bring Li Mu brought some trouble.

Li Mu smiled and waved his hand, indicating that Liu Yalan didn't need to worry too much. As Wang Wenbao was the shopkeeper of Wanbao Pavilion, since he came to the door in person, it didn't matter if he met him. If the other party's request was too much, he would just refuse.

"Master Li, I am here this time. Wang really has something to ask for. This matter is also related to Master Li's search for the Undead Spirit Grass, so I take the liberty to come and disturb you." Wang Wenbao cleared his throat and said respectfully.

Li Mu has indeed been looking for the Death-Resisting Grass, and has entrusted it to Wanbao Pavilion and Tianji Tower to offer a high reward.

This object is the key to fulfilling the promise of Lord Tianyan and lifting the oath of Daoxin. If there is definite information, Li Mu has to go and find out.

"Oh? Shopkeeper Wang, can you tell me in detail?" Li Mu glanced sharply at Wang Wenbao's face, trying to get a clue from his expression.

Wang Wenbao nodded, with a dignified look on his face. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Master Li, to be honest, my Wanbao Pavilion treasure hunting team recently discovered an ancient secret realm in the far north plain. It is suspected to be In the Daojun Cave, traces of the Death-Reverse Spirit Grass were also discovered in the secret realm. However, the secret realm restrictions here are extremely strong, and non-formation masters cannot solve them."

"Master Li, your formation skills are unparalleled. Therefore, I came here to ask Master Li for help. I hope to cooperate with Master Li. If I can break the restriction of this secret realm, I will find the Death-defying Spirit Grass for you. If there is any treasure, I am willing to share what I have gained with Master Li." When Wang Wenbao said this, he looked at Li Mu's eyes with a sincere light, obviously he valued Li Mu's formation attainments very much.

"There is indeed a death-defying spirit grass in this secret realm? Shopkeeper Wang, please don't lie to me." Li Mu frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.

It's not that Li Mu doesn't believe in Wang Wenbao, it's just that it involves the Death-Resisting Spirit Grass and a dangerous place like Dao Lord's Secret Realm, so he has to treat it with caution.

Hearing this, Wang Wenbao nodded quickly and said emphatically: "Master Li, my Wanbao Pavilion treasure hunting team will detect it personally and there will never be any mistakes. The Death-Resisting Grass grows deep in the secret realm and is shrouded by a powerful restriction. We have tried in many ways. , couldn’t be cracked, so I thought of you, Master Li.”

Li Mu nodded, already having a calculation in his mind. The Death-Resisting Spirit Grass was the key to completing the Dao Heart Oath of Lord Tian Yan. Now that he had the exact news, he would not let go of this opportunity.

"Shopkeeper Wang, if this information is correct, I am willing to cooperate with Wanbao Pavilion to explore the ancient secret realm." Li Mu looked at Wang Wenbao, and at the same time, he did not forget to signal: "However, I need to understand the specific situation of the secret realm first. And that forbidden quality.”

Wang Wenbao was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly took out a jade slip from his arms and presented it to Li Mu with both hands: "Master Li, this is a detailed record of the secret realm, including its location, types of restrictions and some information we have detected before. Could you please Take a look first, if you have any questions, I will answer them for you at any time.”

Li Mu took the jade slip, his consciousness sank into it, and he began to browse carefully.

Soon, Li Mu frowned. This secret place is located deep in an ice field in the far north. It should be the same place where Liu Yalan reported the clues about the Anti-Death Spirit Grass before. However, the restriction of this secret place is not that powerful. , as if using the ice-sealing power of the ice field to lay down the ice-sealing spirit, the mysterious ice-locking sky-type extreme ice restriction.

The person who recorded the ban was not proficient in the battle method. The content in the jade slips could not fully describe the entire secret realm ban. Li Mu could only get a glimpse of four or five of them, and could not confirm the difficulty of cracking the entire ban.

However, the clues about the Anti-Death Spirit Grass were quite clearly recorded, and Li Mu was particularly satisfied with this.

The extremely cold place is in extreme yin, and extreme yin generates yang, forming a place where yin and yang meet. This environment is needed for the growth of the anti-death spirit grass. At the same time, in that spiritual land, the sky and earth turned blood red. Light, strange phenomena appear in the heaven and earth, and all ghosts chirp. This is very consistent with the scene of the mature anti-death spirit grass.

According to this sign, there should be an anti-death spirit grass in this secret realm.

Wang Wenbao watched Li Mu browsing the jade slips, his brows furrowed, and there was no response for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel worried. He spoke cautiously, for fear of disturbing Li Mu's thinking: "Master Li, is the situation of this secret realm restricted...is it difficult?"

Li Mu slowly raised his head, looked at Wang Wenbao with deep eyes, and said in a deep voice: "This secret realm restriction is indeed no trivial matter. Its complexity is far beyond my previous imagination. Moreover, the jade slips recording the restriction are also incomplete. However, this does not mean that It cannot be cracked."

Wang Wenbao felt relieved after hearing this, and said quickly: "Master Li, you are extremely accomplished in formations, and you will definitely be able to break the restrictions in this secret realm!"

"Don't rush to a conclusion. I have to see this secret realm restriction first before I can determine its structure, find out its flaws, and find out the corresponding solution." Li Mu said, lost in thought, as if thinking about the solution. Details of the ban.

Wang Wenbao quickly nodded in agreement, and his trust in Li Mu increased even more.

"Master Li, when will we set off for the secret realm?" Wang Wenbao looked at Li Mu and asked with concern.

Li Mu thought for a moment and said slowly: "I need some time to prepare. You can rest at home first. I will let you know when I can leave."

Hearing this, Wang Wenbao was a little anxious, but he knew that Li Mu must have some plans, so he didn't ask any more questions and respectfully said: "Okay, Master Li. Then I will wait for your good news at my house. If If you need anything, just ask."

"Well! Shopkeeper Liu, please take Shopkeeper Wang down to rest first!" Li Mu nodded and looked at Liu Yalan who was standing aside.

Liu Yalan understood, immediately stepped forward, smiled at Wang Wenbao and said: "Shopkeeper Wang, please come with me, I will arrange a quiet guest room for you to rest."

Wang Wenbao saluted Li Mu again, and then followed Liu Yalan out of the reception hall.

After Li Mu watched them leave, he thought for a moment, and then summoned the Fortune Turtle, a spiritual treasure of time, from the Jiuzang Spiritual Pearl.

The palm-sized, jade-white spirit turtle appeared, suspended in the air and slid, its limbs paddling, spinning around Li Mu. A pair of green eyes looked directly at Li Mu, already understanding the owner's thoughts. .

After the last re-training, the Fortune Turtle not only recovered from its injuries, but also was filled with the power of time and cause and effect, and its spirituality was greatly increased. Now it is not a problem to use it to perform fortune divination and peer into the long river of destiny.

During these days, I have been staying in Qixuan Sect, protected by the Sect Protector Formation, and it is the territory of Xuantian Sword Sect. Naturally, I will not provoke powerful enemies. If I go out to explore and explore the secret realm of the ancient mansion, the potential risks are huge. several times.

What's more, there is also the Lord of the Blood Demon, and the Nine Demons Sect is eager to catch him. If it is not necessary, Li Mu will never go out and put himself in danger.

"I'm going to go out on an adventure. Please do a divination for me to see if my life will be in danger during this trip!" Li Mu looked at the Fortune Turtle and whispered.

"Okay, Master!"

The Fortune Spirit Turtle responded and slowly closed his eyes. The white tortoise shell's spiritual power circulated, and the power of the years and the power of cause and effect filled his body gradually became stronger.

The small body of the fortune turtle suspended in the air began to tremble slightly, as if it was trying to communicate with the endless river of destiny.

Li Mu waited quietly, knowing that this process would take some time, and he was in no rush to intervene.

In the past, he had peeked into the river of time and space several times, but because of his intervention, he failed to stop in time and escape from the river of destiny in time. In the end, the fortune turtle was injured again and again, and the weapon spirit was even endangered.

Now, the fortune turtle's weapon spirit is so powerful that it can completely seize the time and opportunity to peek into the long river of destiny, thereby avoiding harm to himself. Li Mu is naturally happy to see the success and is unwilling to get involved.

About half an hour later, the power of time and cause and effect on the Fortune Turtle suddenly stopped, as if it had encountered some trouble and was forced to stop midway.

A look of pain flashed across the Fortune Turtle's face, and he opened his eyes in pain, revealing a depth and mystery in his eyes.

"What's wrong with you? Did I gain something from my adventure this time? Will I encounter danger?" Li Mu's heart tightened, and he looked at the Fortune Turtle and asked with concern.

"Master, I have peeked into the river of destiny. Your fortune on this expedition is quite complicated. It involves the ruins of a certain existence. I cannot fully see the whole process and am forced to terminate the second half of the divination." Fortune Spirit Turtle Looking at Li Mu, he responded awkwardly.

Hearing this, Li Mu frowned and probably understood what happened to the Fortune Turtle. It should be related to the master of the secret realm, a Taoist Lord, which prevented it from getting a full picture.

"Well! How far did you look? What did I gain during this period? Are there any problems with personal safety?"

The Fortune Turtle was silent for a while, as if he was organizing his words, then looked at Li Mu and said slowly: "Master, there are so many changes in destiny, and I cannot give an absolute answer. However, I sensed some vague signs. It seems to indicate that you will gain something from this trip, but you will face some challenges and difficulties. The first half of the trip will be uneventful. You only need to return in time within a year and your life will be safe."

After listening to the Fortune Turtle's divination results, Li Mu pondered secretly in his heart. Although he could not know all the details, with this result, Li Mu immediately felt relieved.

Li Mu looked at the Fortune Turtle and said gratefully: "You have done a good job. Destiny is elusive. This result is enough. You can go back and rest!"

The Fortune Spirit Turtle nodded, and then Li Mu took back the Jiuzang Spirit Pearl.

Li Mu pondered, sorted out his thoughts, and began to prepare for the upcoming trip to the secret realm. (End of chapter)
