Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Li Mu stopped talking and began to devote himself to the preparations for refining the weapon.

Glancing at the refining materials around him, Li Mu ran the Five Elements Yin and Yang Sutra, made a secret with his hands, and spurred out a ball of five elements spiritual fire, ignited the refining furnace, and then put the main material - Jinhuang Spirit Crystal into the furnace and started refining. system.

Taoist Qingsong stood aside, staring at the fire intently, feeling both nervous and expectant in his heart.

However, the sixth-level spiritual material, the Golden Brilliance Spirit Crystal, is extremely strong. The smelting process of the Five Elements Spiritual Fire is extremely time-consuming, and the Golden Glory Spirit Crystal has not melted for a long time.

About an hour later, Li Mu glanced at Taoist Qingsong, who was so nervous that he could almost hold his breath, and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Qingsong, this weapon refining process is quite time-consuming and requires full concentration. I'm afraid you will It’s a little inconvenient, why don’t you go and do your work first, and I’ll call you over when the spirit treasure is finished?”

Hearing this, Taoist Qingsong hesitated for a moment, and when he met Li Mu's firm eyes and confident smile, he roughly understood what he meant by this. Because of his presence, the great master of weapon refining was unable to use some of his weapon refining methods.

"Okay, then I'll go and get busy. Fellow Daoist Li, if you need anything, remember to call me at any time." Realizing this, Taoist Qingsong nodded, then turned around and left the weapon refining room, and left the weapon refining room. The stone door is closed.

As Taoist Qingsong left, he was the only one left in the weapon refining room. Li Mu confirmed that there was no divine mind watching, took a deep breath, and then summoned the yin and yang thunder and fire from his body, and used the weapon refining magical power - sky fire as a furnace to summon the yin and yang thunder and fire. It came out and condensed into a silver and red sky furnace.

As the Heavenly Fire Furnace condensed with yin and yang thunder and fire condensed out, the Heavenly Fire Furnace bloomed with powerful thunder spirit fluctuations, as if it were a small Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, exuding infinite thunder energy.

With a thought from Li Mu, the golden spiritual crystals and many auxiliary weapon refining materials flew into the sky furnace.

In the sky furnace, yin and yang, thunder and fire intertwined, like two swimming dragons writhing in the furnace, swallowing up the weapon refining materials one by one. Many of the weapon refining materials quickly melted under the burning of the flames, turning into a pure molten liquid. , gathered in the center of the furnace.

Li Mu held his breath and concentrated, staring at the changes in the furnace. He quickly formed seals with his hands, controlled the furnace fire, used the magical power of weapon refining - Divine Refining and Fusion Spirit, began to refine the weapon embryo, arrange the weapon array, condense the weapon pattern,...

Soon, in the Heavenly Fire Furnace, the embryonic aura of a golden spiritual sword emitted one after another, and the dazzling weapon patterns continued to condense.

Nowadays, Li Mu's success rate in refining seventh-level Taoist weapons is as high as 50%. Refining a sixth-level low-grade spiritual sword is almost effortless.

With a crisp sword cry of "buzz", the golden spirit sword was completely refined and suspended in the furnace. The sword body emitted a dazzling golden light, as dazzling as a small sun.

Li Mu smiled slightly, waved his hand, and the golden spiritual sword turned into a golden light, flew into his hand, and collected the Jiuzang Spiritual Pearl.

Li Mu immediately untied the Heavenly Fire Furnace, put the Yin and Yang Thunder Fire back into his body, closed his eyes, meditated and waited, and was not in a hurry to use this sixth-level spiritual sword to talk to Taoist Qingsong.

About seven days later, Taoist Qingsong, who received the message from Li Mu, hurried to the weapon refining room.

The door to the refining room was pushed open, and Taoist Qingsong walked in. His eyes were immediately attracted to the golden spirit sword floating in Li Mu's hand. Looking at the long sword, his eyes shone with indescribable light.

"Fellow Daoist Li, it's done! This...is this the sixth level spiritual sword you refined?" Taoist Qingsong looked at Li Mu and asked excitedly.

Li Mu smiled and nodded, gently waving the golden spirit sword in his hand. The sword drew an elegant arc and made a clear sword sound.

"Brother Qingsong, fortunately, this sixth-level spiritual sword has been refined." Li Mu said, handing the spiritual sword to Taoist Qingsong.

Taoist Qingsong took the spirit sword, his eyes sparkled with surprise, and he held the spirit sword carefully, as if he was holding a rare treasure. The golden light of the sword was bright, like flowing liquid, shining with a charming luster. The sword trembled slightly, full of spirituality, and danced gently in his hand, as if it was having some kind of communication with him.

The patterns on the sword are clearly visible. Each one is like a dancing dragon and snake, full of vitality and power. These patterns are not only beautiful, but also contain the powerful golden sword intention.

Taoist Qingsong looked up at Li Mu, his eyes full of admiration, and said in surprise: "Fellow Taoist Li, you really impress me! The quality and spirituality of this spiritual sword far exceed my expectations. It is simply a perfect work of art. ! It’s really admirable!”

Taoist Qingsong took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and then solemnly introduced: "Fellow Daoist Li, please follow me to see my master. With this sword, it will not be a problem for him to give the Huanglong Order. Your weapon refining skills , he will definitely give him preferential treatment.”

Li Mu smiled and nodded, following Taoist Qingsong behind him, and walked towards the Grandmaster's Hall in Huanglongguan.

The two passed through green pines and cypresses, along the winding mountain road, and finally arrived in front of the Patriarch's Hall in Huanglong Temple. The main hall is majestic and majestic. Two giant golden dragon sculptures stand quietly on both sides of the gate, exuding a majestic and mysterious atmosphere.

Taoist Qingsong led Li Mu to the entrance of the hall, bowed respectfully inside, and then said loudly: "Master, my disciple Qingsong came with fellow Taoist Li Mu to pay homage, and brought a sixth-level spirit that he refined with his own hands. Sword, please give me the Yellow Dragon Order."

An old and powerful voice came from the hall and responded: "Yes! Come in."

Li Mu followed Taoist Qingsong into the hall, and a simple and solemn atmosphere hit his face.

In the center of the main hall, there is a white-haired old man, Taoist Huanglong. He is wearing a plain yellow Taoist robe. He has an extraordinary temperament, a thin face, and a strong red fragrance all over his body, just like an ordinary old man. Rather than a high-ranking Void Refining cultivator.

Taoist Qingsong bowed respectfully and presented the sixth-level spiritual sword refined by Li Mu with both hands. Under the bright lights in the hall, the golden spiritual sword emitted a faint sword light, and the mysterious weapon pattern on the sword body circulated golden aura, which was quite dazzling.

Taoist Huanglong's eyes fell on the Spirit Sword, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He eagerly took the Spirit Sword and stroked it gently, as if he was feeling the spirituality of the Spirit Sword.

"Yes, this sword is made of golden spiritual crystals. The refining technique is extremely exquisite. There is a faint charm of the Great Dao in the flow of the weapon's patterns. My friend, you have such skill in weapon refining at such a young age. It is really rare!" Taoist Huanglong looked at Li Mu with admiration, his voice was gentle and powerful, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

"Thank you for the compliment, senior. It's just a fluke, junior." Li Mu bowed humbly.

Taoist Huanglong smiled slightly and said: "Luck is also a part of strength. Since you have completed the task of refining the weapon of this sect, I will accept this spiritual sword."

As he spoke, Taoist Huanglong waved his sleeve, and the sixth-level spiritual sword disappeared from his sleeve. Then, he took out a golden token and handed it to Li Mu: "This is the Huanglong Order. Hold this token, you He is the guest of my Huanglong Sect and has many privileges."

Li Mu accepted the Huanglong order and thanked him gratefully: "Thank you, senior, for the order."

"Little friend, where are you from?" Taoist Huang Long looked at Li Mu seriously, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and asked with concern.

Being a sixth-level weapon-refining grandmaster was definitely not achieved by chance. His origins must be extraordinary. Taoist Huanglong naturally had a strong interest in Li Mu's origins.

Li Mu quickly responded: "Li comes from the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Domain, Qingxuan Sect!"

"Southern Wilderness, Qingxuan Sect! As far as I know, Southern Wilderness seems to have been occupied by demonic cultivators!" Taoist Huanglong frowned and looked at Li Mu and asked with concern.

"That's true. There are ongoing wars in the Southern Wilderness now, so I fled here to find some opportunities to advance." Li Mu nodded and stopped, not wanting to talk more.

Taoist Huanglong nodded, looked at Li Mu and invited him warmly: "I see, the situation in the Southern Wilderness is serious and the Demon Sect is rampant. It is really not easy to comfort the practitioners. Why don't you stay at Huanglong Temple for a while? The Taoist has a secret in the East Fantasy Sea. With some resources and connections, you can arrange people to help you find the opportunities you need. At the same time, you can also learn more advanced weapon-refining techniques in Benkan and exchange experiences with other weapon-refining masters.”

After a pause, Huanglong Taoist looked at Li Mu and continued to introduce: "You now hold the Huanglong Order, and you can just participate in the trade fair held by the old Taoist. This trade is a major event for our Huanglong Temple in decades, and there will be people from High-level monks from various islands in the Eastern Fantasy Sea gather together to exchange various rare weapon-refining materials, elixirs, techniques, etc., which will definitely help you find something of opportunity."

Hearing this, a glimmer of expectation flashed in Li Mu's eyes, and he cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, senior, for your kindness. I would rather obey my orders than to be respectful."

Huanglong Taoist smiled and nodded, and continued: "The trade will start in fifteen days. You can rest in Huanglong Temple for a while and get familiar with the environment. Then Taoist will personally take you to the fair."

Li Mu nodded, cupped his hands again and said, "Thank you, senior. I will definitely follow the arrangements of my senior."

Taoist Huanglong nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered Qingsong beside him to make arrangements: "Qingsong, take this little friend down and remember to arrange a quiet place for him to have a good rest."

"Yes, Master!" Qingsong answered, and then left the hall with Li Mu.

Watching Li Mu leave, the smile on Taoist Huanglong's face gradually disappeared, his brows furrowed, and he fell into deep thought, seeming to be thinking about Li Mu's origins.

In addition to the trading of spiritual objects, this trade fair also involved a major event. It was too much of a coincidence that a great master of weapon refining appeared at this time. Taoist Huang Long narrowed his eyes slightly.

"This son comes from the Qingxuan Sect in the Southern Wilderness. However, the Southern Wilderness has now been occupied by the forces of the Demonic Abyss. He came to the Eastern Fantasy Sea alone, thousands of miles away, and must have an extraordinary purpose." Taoist Huanglong said to himself, There was a glint in his eyes.

"Is he really trying to find opportunities and improve his strength in order to return to the Southern Wilderness in the future and avenge the Qingxuan Sect?" Taoist Huang Long guessed in his heart, but then shook his head, "No, this matter is by no means simple. If He really wants revenge, so how could he reveal his origin so easily?"

Taoist Huanglong thought for a moment and decided to let Qingsong continue to explore his story and secretly investigate the true origin of this child.

————

At this time, hundreds of thousands of miles away, in Zhongzhou Lingyu, near the Qixuan Sect, in an ancient city of immortality, in the attic, a middle-aged man wearing a blue and black robe sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, and his whole body was filled with a faint light. Amidst the black demonic energy, he was immersed in a strange state of cultivation.

Suddenly, a black mist condensed in front of him, turning into a figure wearing a black shadow suit, kneeling on the ground on one knee.

The middle-aged man in black robe opened his eyes, and two black demonic energies overflowed from his eyes, staring at the spy who appeared in front of him.

"Report to the Demon Lord, Charming Owl has repeatedly confirmed that the target is not in the sect and his whereabouts are unknown!" The spy lowered his head and reported respectfully.

The killing intent in the Immortal Demon Lord's eyes flashed away, and his voice was low and gloomy: "Whereabouts unknown? How did Charming Owl confirm it? The puppet clones made by this person can be fake and real. It is common for the real person to not show up for a long time. "

"Reporting to the Demon Lord, Mei Xiao combined the changes in the Qixuan Sect, as well as the changes of several sect elders and the deputy sect master Tian Yan, and concluded that the target's puppet body has not appeared for several months. Mei Xiao reported the specific whereabouts of the target's real body, and the deputy sect master Tian Yan might know." The spy continued to report.

Hearing this, the Immortal Demon Lord's expression condensed and immediately took it seriously.

For more than 20 years, the Immortal Demon Lord has been thinking about revenge. He successfully took over the body of a Lianxu cultivator. After retreating for more than ten years and successfully recovering his combined cultivation, he came to Zhongzhou Spirit Realm as soon as possible, waiting for an opportunity to ambush and kill Li Mu for revenge.

However, Li Mu's real body's whereabouts are as secret as ever. He has always been hiding in the Qixuan Sect and no one knows where he is. He only shows himself as a puppet body and is extremely cautious. His whereabouts remain a mystery.

Now in Zhongzhou Spirit Realm, he is alone and weak. The Immortal Demon Lord dare not act rashly, fearing that he will not succeed, but will alert the enemy and attract the attention of Xuantian Sword Sect.

Therefore, the Immortal Demon Lord could only be patient and secretly send his subordinates to sneak into the Seven Profound Sect, quietly waiting for the opportunity and planning a fatal attack.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has been several years. The Immortal Demon Lord sits in the ancient city of Xiuxian. Every day, in addition to practicing to restore his cultivation, he listens to his subordinates' reports on Li Mu's exact news.

Today, when he heard his subordinates report that Li Mu had left the Seven Profound Sect and his whereabouts were unknown, a sharp light flashed in the eyes of the Immortal Demon Lord, and he stood up suddenly, and his tall body cast a heavy shadow in the room.

"Finally, have you left the Seven Profound Sect? I have waited too long for this day!" The Immortal Demon Lord said excitedly, his voice full of endless hatred.

The Immortal Demon Lord took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement.

"Daoyou Tianyan! It's time to meet him!" A trace of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the Immortal Demon Lord, and he looked at the spy and ordered: "Pass the order down, let Meixiao keep a close eye on Tianyan's whereabouts and report in time."

The last ambush was also due to the contribution of 'Daoyou Tianyan'. This time, the Immortal Demon Lord is ready to take action himself, capture him, and while forcing him to tell Li Mu's whereabouts, he will also calculate the interest with him. (End of this chapter)
