Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

In the exquisite courtyard of the Painting World Treasure Mansion, on the top of the Five Elements Spiritual Mountain, Li Mu was still sitting on the stone bench, turning the pages of the ancient book in his hand. He was concentrating on searching for information about the high-level demon clan's journey through the true spirit thunder tribulation, especially the clues about the high-level fox demon and the Sky Fox clan's journey through the tribulation. His heart was filled with worry and confusion about Xue'er.

Xue'er has outstanding qualifications, and after he has carefully fed her with various high-level elixirs, she should be able to successfully survive the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation. However, the fact is that Xueer failed in the future to overcome the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation, which puzzled Li Mu. He wanted to find out the reason why Xueer failed to overcome the tribulation and find a solution for Xueer.

Li Mu recalled the scene of the Green Moon True Dragon overcoming the True Dragon Thunder Tribulation and the Jade Ginseng King overcoming the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation. They had their own difficulties in overcoming the Tribulation, but they all succeeded in the end. This made him even more puzzled. The spiritual weapon for overcoming tribulations and the magic weapon for protecting oneself, why will Xueer fail to overcome tribulations in the future?

Li Mu took a deep breath and focused on the ancient book in his hand, hoping to find the answer.

Li Mu kept turning the pages of ancient books in his hands. These ancient books were taken from the Sutra Collection Pavilion of Xuantian Sword Sect. They cover a wide range of contents and record a large number of secrets and knowledge in the practice world. To solve the mystery of Xueer's failure to overcome the tribulation, perhaps it is among these precious ancient books.

Finally, in an ancient book called "Secret Book of Demon Clan", Li Mu found detailed records about the high-level demon clan's tribulation.

Li Mu stopped reading and fixed his gaze on a line of text: "The Sky Fox clan is good at manipulating the mind. However, when going through a calamity, the mind must also reach the state of innocence, otherwise it will be difficult to withstand the power of the thunder calamity."

Li Mu's heart moved. This seemed to be an important clue. He continued to look down and saw that the ancient book said: "The Tianhu clan has a noble mind, but it is also susceptible to the influence of the heart calamity. If there is dirt in the heart, then the true spirit thunder can be overcome." At the time of calamity, it will be destroyed by thunder calamity.”

Seeing this, Li Mu suddenly realized, and finally understood the reason why Xueer failed to overcome the tribulation. However, when he learned the truth, his mood also became inexplicably complicated.

Xueer's heart is tied to her, and Li Mu knows this very well. It was precisely because of her deep affection for herself that she was trapped by love when she was going through the tribulation, and her heart was tied, and she was unable to reach a state of pure mind.

However, the state of mind of the Tianhu clan during the tribulation was very important, but Xueer worried about herself, and because of this emotion, her mood was disturbed during the tribulation, and ultimately failed. This result is obvious.

If this situation cannot be changed, the scene in which Xueer fails to overcome the tribulation in the future is destined to be inevitable.

In the end, it was his own fault. Li Mu frowned, not knowing how to solve this problem for a while.

Just as Li Mu was immersed in these heavy thoughts, there was a sound of light footsteps in the courtyard, and a moment later, Xueer's familiar figure appeared in his sight.

Xueer, who has been in seclusion for many days, is radiant. She is wearing a white palace dress, like a blooming snow lotus, elegant and refined.

Xueer has a delicate and refined appearance, and is extremely beautiful. She has long black and shiny hair, which naturally hangs down around her waist and flutters gently in the wind. Her eyes are deep and bright, as if she can see into people's hearts, revealing a unique intelligence and sensitivity.

Her face is delicate and picturesque, her skin is fair and delicate, and can be broken by blows, her nose bridge is high, her lips are red, and the slightly raised corners of her mouth always have a gentle smile, which warms people's hearts like sunshine.

The white palace skirt was made of fine silk, soft and smooth, and fit her graceful figure. It swayed gently as she walked, as elegant as a fairy descending from the earth. The delicate embroidery on the skirt was looming, which added to the added charm. It has a luxurious atmosphere, yet is elegant. A belt of the same color is tied around her waist, which perfectly outlines her slender waist.

Against the background of the white palace skirt, Xueer seems to be an elf from the world of ice and snow, with a cool and elegant temperament that is unforgettable at first sight.

"Master Li, I'm out of seclusion, and Xue'er is not lazy this time." Xue'er met Li Mu's gaze, smiled, and signaled happily.

Suddenly, Xue'er was keenly aware that Li Mu's eyes were a bit special, and something was wrong with his mood.

Xue'er lowered her head and looked at herself, touched her cheek, and found no foreign objects. She couldn't help but asked with some confusion: "Master Li, is there something on my face?"

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head: "No, Xue'er, I was just thinking about something."

Xue'er blinked curiously, took a few steps closer, and asked softly: "Master Li, what's bothering you? Maybe Xue'er can help you share some of it."

Li Mu felt warm in his heart when he met Xue'er's concerned eyes.

Li Mu was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and decided to tell Xue'er what he had discovered.

"Read this ancient book first!" Li Mu handed the ancient book in his hand to Xue'er and gestured.

Xueer took the ancient book, opened it doubtfully, and began to read it carefully. As she read, her expression gradually became serious. When she saw the description of the mental state of the Tianhu clan overcoming the tribulation, she raised her head and looked at Li Mu, with a hint of enlightenment flashing in her eyes.

"Master Li, will what is recorded in this book really happen?" Xueer looked at Li Mu and asked with concern.

"There is a high probability that you almost failed in the last tribulation. If you go through the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation again, you will definitely not be able to pass this level." Li Mu looked at Xue'er seriously and nodded.

"What can Xue'er do!" Xue'er didn't care at all about her failure to overcome the tribulation, but looked at Li Mu with a look of resentment.

Xueer sighed in her heart, knowing that her feelings for Li Mu had long been deep and she could not extricate herself. However, she also knew that Li Mu had been avoiding her feelings, which made her feel helpless and confused.

"Master Li, Xueer just wants to stay with you all the time, nothing else." Xueer looked at Li Mu affectionately, with a tremor in her tone: "As long as I can accompany Master Li, Xueer will not regret it even if she dies under the thunder tribulation!"

Hearing Xueer's affectionate confession, Li Mu's heart was shocked, looking at Xueer's affectionate eyes, he was a little at a loss.

Li Mu never thought that Xueer's feelings for him were so deep. He always thought that Xueer just took care of him as a sister and had no other thoughts, but now, he realized that he was wrong.

Li Mu took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, trying to calm his excitement.

Facing Xueer's affectionate eyes, the barriers in Li Mu's heart seemed to collapse in an instant.

"Xueer..., I..." Li Mu looked at Xueer and called softly, as if he wanted to integrate all his tenderness into these two words.

Xue'er heard Li Mu's response and clearly sensed his emotions. There was a light of disbelief in her eyes, but then, that light turned into deep joy and excitement. She reached out and held Li Mu's hand tightly. She had waited for this moment for too long. At this moment, she clearly sensed Li Mu's mood, and the joy in her heart could not be expressed in words.

...

Time passed in a flash.

In the Painting World Treasure House, Li Mu and Xue'er were inseparable. Whether in practice or in leisure time, they accompanied each other. Over the past few months, their feelings became deeper and deeper, and their tacit understanding reached an unprecedented level.

As the two people strolled in the garden, the elder's order on Li Mu's waist suddenly buzzed.

Li Mu invested his consciousness and his expression gradually became serious.

"Xue'er, the upper sect has an order to summon me to Wenjian Peak immediately." Li Mu told Xue'er the content of the order.

Xueer frowned slightly upon hearing this, and asked worriedly: "What happened? Is there any danger?"

"Don't worry! It was Elder Qiu who came to see me. Nothing will happen. You should go to retreat and practice. You have practiced with peace of mind for a long time." Li Mu gently held Xueer's hand and comforted her softly.

Xueer nodded helplessly and said softly: "Then you have to be careful. I will wait for you to come back."

"Okay!" Li Mu responded with a smile, and then his figure flashed and disappeared in the Painting World Treasure House.

Then, Li Mu flew out of the Sect Master's Mansion on his sword, turned into a sword light, rushed straight into the sky, and flew towards the Xuantian Sword Sect-Wenjian Peak.

Soon, Li Mu came to Wenjian Peak, and according to the instructions of the messenger, he quickly flew towards the Contribution Hall standing on Wenjian Peak.

Li Mu flew on his sword, his posture was upright, and the sword light was like a rainbow cutting through the sky. He was wearing the clothes of the Supreme Elder, and his temperament was extremely outstanding, as if a god of war had descended on the earth, mighty and awe-inspiring.

When Li Mu appeared outside the Contribution Hall, the disciples who were waiting in line to enter looked up, with admiration and envy in their eyes. They spontaneously lined up neatly and saluted the legendary elder of the sect.

"Greetings, Elder Li!" A disciple of the God of Transformation shouted loudly, his voice full of respect and excitement.

"Greetings, Grand Elder!" The other disciples followed closely, shouting in unison, and the sound shook the sky.

Li Mu nodded slightly as a response. He had a faint smile on his face, but he was still majestic. He had long been accustomed to the admiration and enthusiasm of the disciples of the sect, but every time he felt it, a warm current still surged in his heart.

The news that he could refine the seventh-level Taoist weapon had already spread throughout the Xuantian Sword Sect like the wind, which made Li Mu's position in the sect more stable and became an existence that everyone looked up to.

Whether in sword practice or in the art of refining weapons, Li Mu showed amazing talent and strength, which impressed countless disciples.

Qiu Yuanhong had been waiting in the Contribution Hall for a long time. Seeing Li Mu coming, he smiled and greeted him.

"Elder Li, you are here." Qiu Yuanhong's voice was gentle and powerful, and his eyes were full of love when he looked at Li Mu.

"Meet Elder Qiu." Li Mu bowed and saluted with a respectful attitude.

"No need to be polite. I called you here this time because there is an important matter that requires you to run a trip." Qiu Yuanhong's expression became serious, and he looked at Li Mu and introduced.

"Well! Elder Qiu, please go on." Li Mu nodded and gestured.

"Sword Master Feng, Sword Master Chen and others have completely taken over the Dark Water Sea and completely eliminated the remaining forces of the Demon Abyss. The Undead Demon Lord has fled back to the South Wilderness. We have successfully taken down the seal of the Dark Water Sea." Qiu Yuanhong looked at Li Mu and said happily.

Hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help but smile on his face. He knew that this battle was just a small battle for the Xuantian Sword Sect, but it also won a huge victory. However, Qiu Yuanhong's next words made Li Mu immediately put away his smile and concentrate.

"Elder Li, I heard that your beast has obtained the secret key to the Water Palace. This is good news." Qiu Yuanhong changed the subject and continued, "Now, Sword Master Feng and the others have not yet set out for the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Territory. I hope you can take the teleportation array and go to the Dark Water Sea as soon as possible to check the situation of the seal array. After all, you are the one who knows the seal array best among us, and your beast has the secret key to the Water Palace." After hearing this, Li Mu immediately understood Qiu Yuanhong's intention. With Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen accompanying him on this trip, there should be no danger. Moreover, no dangerous scenes occurred during the divination deduction.

"Don't worry, Elder Qiu, I will immediately go to the Nether Sea to inspect the sealing formation." Li Mu happily agreed to the matter.

Soon, with Qiu Yuanhong's gift, Li Mu Yujian left the Contribution Hall, took the teleportation array, and appeared in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea.

Under the watchful eyes of the garrisoned disciples, Li Mu summoned the Qingyue True Dragon from the Yuling Treasure Bracelet, then jumped up and landed steadily on the dragon's head.

The Qingyue True Dragon raised its head and roared, and the deafening dragon roar echoed in the sky. The dragon's body rose into the sky, whipping up a strong wind, and quickly disappeared into the sky on the clouds carrying Li Mu, speeding away in the direction of the Underworld Sea.

The spectacular scene of the real dragon appearing and riding the dragon, and the majestic momentum, all reveal extraordinary and domineering, which makes people feel awe.

"Look, that's the style of driving a real dragon. It's so majestic!" The stationed god-transformation monks were amazed, looking at Li Mu's back, his eyes full of envy and admiration.

"That's not the case! That is Master Li who has just been promoted to Supreme Elder." Another god-forming monk said: "He can even refine seventh-level Taoist soldiers. For him, controlling a real dragon is just a matter of course. A piece of cake!”

Amidst the admiration and discussion of the two stationed disciples, the figures of Li Mu and Qingyue True Dragon gradually disappeared into the sky, leaving only a lingering powerful dragon power.

Li Mu sat on the head of Qingyue True Dragon, feeling the lightning-like speed, but his heart was filled with impatience. If this trip to the secret realm of Shuifu went well, he would be able to add one more by gathering seven extreme realm spiritual lands. .

The Green Moon True Dragon was tumbling above the clouds, flying as fast as thunder, and the wind was as fast as lightning.

A few days later, Qingyue True Dragon took Li Mu deep into the hinterland of the Nether Water Sea. Li Mu looked far into the distance and cast his thoughts outside. He saw a strange small island in the Nether Water Sea. A group of resident buildings stood there. Above the island, floating There are huge battleships, quietly guarding this mysterious sea area. On the battleships, the Xuantian Sword Sect's sword-character flags rustle in the wind, and the sword-characters on the flags look majestic and solemn.

Suddenly, two figures emerged from a flagship. Their speed was as fast as lightning piercing the sky. The two men exuded a sharp and powerful aura. They were Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen.

"Elder Li, you are finally here!" Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu with unconcealable joy on his face and greeted him enthusiastically.

Li Mu bowed and saluted: "Greetings to the two sword masters!"

"Oh, you're welcome!" Sword Master Feng hurriedly reached out to help Li Mu up, his face full of kindness and respect.

Sword Master Chen looked at Li Mu with a smile, nodded in greeting, and then urged: "Elder Li, thank you for your hard work. We have been waiting here for your arrival. Now that everyone has arrived, we can enter the secret realm."

After the words fell, Chen Jianzhu moved and quickly plunged into the seabed like a swimming fish. Seeing this, Li Mu nodded, and followed closely behind with the Qingyue True Dragon. Sword Master Feng guarded Li Mu's side, and together they dived deep into the seabed. (End of chapter)
