Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Li Mu had no idea of ​​the impact he had caused. After leaving Wanbao City, he drove the Earth Yuan Spirit Ship back to Qixuan Sect.

During this trip to Wanbao City, Li Mu gained a lot, and obtained a large number of high-level spiritual materials, some of which were used to repair the Painting World Treasure House, and some were suitable for refining Taoist soldiers, puppets, and drawing high-level spiritual talismans.

After returning to Qixuan Sect, Li Mu plunged into the retreat room of the Sect Master's Mansion, and then entered the Painting World Treasure House to start refining Taoist tools.

Xue'er is a Nine-Tailed Talented Bloodline, an Ice-type Heavenly Spiritual Root, and her own qualifications are there. Her cultivation speed is not slow, however, her understanding of the Ice-type Dao is still not enough. Li Mu is going to tailor a supplementary Taoist tool for her, in order to help her go further on the road of cultivation and consolidate her foundation.

Li Mu sat in the center of the refining room, his mind was deep, and three groups of heavenly fire - the extreme yang heavenly fire, the earth vein heavenly fire and the yin and yang thunder fire, responded to the sound, surrounded his body, and each of them bloomed with unique brilliance.

Li Mu quickly formed seals with both hands, and the eight-fold heavenly fire hammering method was activated. The vast sea of ​​true essence in the middle stage of refining emptiness surged out, and he performed the magical power of refining - the heavenly fire as a furnace.

The next moment, the three groups of heavenly fire instantly merged and turned into a towering three-color heavenly fire refining furnace. The furnace was towering, nearly three feet tall, and suspended in the air.

Taking a deep breath, Li Mu calmed down, formed seals again, and guided the three flavors of heavenly fire in the furnace.

Under Li Mu's control, the flames in the three-color heavenly fire refining furnace rolled regularly, forming a huge three-color flame vortex, like a tornado, madly sucking the spiritual power in the refining room, causing the furnace temperature to further increase.

Li Mu's mind moved slightly, and the storage ring on his finger opened automatically. One by one, the seventh-level spiritual materials for refining weapons flew out like meteors: Ten Thousand Years Cold Crystal, Ice Soul Spirit Crystal, Xuanyin Jingjin... As soon as these precious seventh-level cold spiritual materials entered the furnace, they were swallowed by the three-color sky fire and melted quickly.

However, this was just the beginning. Under the smelting of the three-color sky fire, many spiritual materials quickly turned into viscous liquids. With the stirring of Li Mu's mind, they continued to rotate and purify, and the impurities and flaws in them were removed one by one.

Li Mu's mind was as fine as silk, and he accurately controlled every ray of flame, performing the Eightfold Sky Fire Refining Method and the magical power of refining weapons - Sky Fire Casting Spirit, integrating the essence of the spiritual materials and giving them a new form.

Li Mu had no other thoughts, and he concentrated on running the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sutra. His mind was like silk, deeply piercing into the refining furnace, and he performed the magical power of the Eightfold Sky Fire Hammering Method - "Sky Fire Casting Spirit" to accelerate the condensation of the embryo. His divine consciousness was like a skilled craftsman, guiding the ice-blue solution in the furnace to flow slowly according to his will, gradually condensing into the prototype of the hair crown.

As time slowly passed, the hair crown embryo in the Tianhuo Refining Furnace gradually revealed its outline, emitting bursts of cool and cold breath.

Li Mu's nerves relaxed slightly. The embryo of the ice-type Taoist crown has taken shape. The next step is to engrave the array on it, condense the pattern, and give it a unique Taoist connotation and spirituality.

Li Mu once again used the magical power of refining equipment-"divine refining equipment melting spirit", using divine consciousness as a pen and spiritual power as ink, and began to engrave a complex array in the hair crown embryo, engraving a fine array of patterns.

Time passed quickly, and Li Mu consumed a lot of divine consciousness, and outlined an array based on the "Ice Sealing Domain Array" in the hair crown embryo. The array patterns of this array are intertwined and nested with each other, forming a mysterious and stable structure inside the embryo. It is not only the core of the hair crown embryo, but also contains profound ice laws, which is the foundation for the spiritual nurturing of this Taoist weapon.

When the hair crown embryo gradually stabilized under this precise structure, Li Mu continued to carry out the next step of refining, exerting the magical power of refining equipment - "divine refining equipment pattern", outputting spiritual power with all his strength, and condensing a series of exquisite equipment patterns on the hair crown embryo.

The twenty-eight equipment patterns will gradually take shape around the previously carved equipment array, and finally form a single-attribute ice Taoist crown.

The first equipment pattern - "ice body protection" gives the Taoist crown wearer a layer of ice armor, which can resist external attacks and protect the wearer from harm.

The second equipment pattern - "Ice Sealed Ten Thousand Miles", this equipment pattern can allow the Taoist crown to release an extremely cold air, freezing everything around it, whether it is the enemy or the environment, it will be frozen by it.

The third equipment pattern - "Ice Blade Storm", enables the Taoist crown to release an ice blade storm, and the sharp ice blades sweep the enemy like a hurricane, causing a devastating blow.

The fourth weapon pattern, "Ice Swiftness", allows the wearer to move quickly on the ice surface, doubling the speed, and can take the lead whether chasing or escaping.

The fifth weapon pattern, "Ice Element Regeneration", gives the Dao Crown the ability to self-repair. Even if it is damaged in battle, it can quickly absorb the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual power for self-repair and maintain the best combat state.

…

Using the seventh-level Ice Soul Spirit Crystal as the basis of the Dao weapon, the Ice Soul Spirit Crystal contains pure ice element power and is the best choice for refining ice-based Dao weapons. In addition to the Ice Soul Spirit Crystal, Li Mu uses rare high-level spiritual materials such as Ten Thousand Years Cold Crystal and Ice Heart Jade Marrow to build a Dao weapon that can form an ice domain.

As time passed, Li Mu devoted himself to refining and forgot about the disturbances in the outside world. Under his careful refining, an ice attribute auxiliary Dao weapon emitting a faint chill gradually took shape. This Dao weapon not only contains profound ice laws, but also perfectly matches Xue'er's spiritual power, which can greatly enhance the power of her ice spells.

Li Mu held the ice crown in his hand, and in a flash, he appeared outside a retreat room in the Five Elements Mountain.

"Xue'er, come out quickly." Li Mu's voice was filled with excitement and expectation. He probed into the retreat room with his mind and called out to Xue'er.

After a while, the door of the retreat room slowly opened. Xue'er was dressed in plain clothes, pure and elegant, like a fairy in the ice and snow. She walked out slowly, with a pair of eyes full of curiosity, looking at the ice crown in Li Mu's hand. At that moment, it seemed as if the whole world stopped.

"Brother Li, what is this?" Xue'er asked softly, her tone unable to hide her surprise.

Li Mu smiled slightly, handed the Ice Hair Crown forward, and said: "This is the ice attribute auxiliary Taoist tool I refined for you - the Ice Hair Crown. It is based on the seventh-level Ice Soul Spirit Crystal, and also uses rare high-level spiritual materials such as Ten Thousand Years of Cold Crystal and Ice Heart Jade Marrow. It is carefully constructed to form an ice domain to help you practice on weekdays."

Xue'er took the Ice Hair Crown and felt a fresh and cold breath pouring in. There was a faint chill on the hair crown, which contained endless ice and snow power. She looked carefully and saw that the hair crown was carved with delicate patterns, each of which revealed Li Mu's hard work and superb skills.

"It's so beautiful, Brother Li, thank you." Xue'er's voice was trembling. She could feel the profound ice law contained in this Taoist tool, and the perfect fit with her spiritual power. Knowing that this is not just a Taoist tool, but also Li Mu's deep affection and care for her.

"Quickly refine it, wear it and let me see your style." Li Mu smiled gently, his eyes full of expectation.

Xueer nodded gently, and followed Li Mu's instructions to refine the ice crown. As her spiritual power was injected, the ice crown seemed to respond to her call, emitting a stronger chill, blending with her spiritual power and echoing each other.

After a while, Xueer successfully refined the ice crown. With a slight raise of her hand, the pattern on the ice crown seemed to come alive, flowing with a faint light, perfectly matching the aura around her, as if it were one.

Xueer put the ice crown on her head, and in an instant, a cold and pure power surged out of the crown, surrounding her body, forming a circle of ice-blue halos. Her temperament seemed to be more cold and refined at this moment, like the queen of the ice and snow world, exuding an indescribable charm.

"Brother Li, look." Xueer turned around, her eyes flashing with excitement and joy. Her body was shrouded in a layer of light ice mist, and every trace of cold air seemed to contain endless ice and snow power, making her look like a goddess in the ice and snow world, cold and mysterious.

"How do you feel?" Li Mu asked with concern.

Xue'er smiled slightly, with an ice-blue light flashing in her eyes. She whispered: "It feels very good, Brother Li. I can feel the profound ice law contained in the ice hair crown. It seems to be integrated with my own spiritual power, making me more adept at controlling ice spells. Moreover, this power is pure and powerful."

"Well, wear it and practice well, and strive to become a true spirit as soon as possible." Li Mu looked at Xue'er and advised.

Xue'er heard this, and a ray of determination flashed in her eyes. In order to be with Li Mu for a long time, she must practice harder and improve her strength.

"Brother Li, don't worry, I will practice well." Xue'er held Li Mu's hand tightly, and her tone was full of determination and faith.

After speaking, Xue'er turned and walked towards the practice room.

Li Mu smiled slightly, and after watching the door of the training room close again, he continued to refine the next Taoist weapon.

However, just as Li Mu was about to start refining the next Taoist weapon, the Qixuan Sect welcomed some unexpected visitors - Feng Jianzhu and Chen Jianzhu. These two big figures who were usually erratic and rarely appeared in the public eye suddenly came and shocked the entire Qixuan Sect.

After learning the news of the two sword masters' visit from the substitute puppet, Li Mu left the Painting World Treasure House as soon as possible, hurried out of the retreat room, and went to the sect hall to greet them. At the same time, he secretly speculated in his heart, why did these two sword masters suddenly come to the Qixuan Sect in person? What did they want to find him for?

When Li Mu hurried to the sect hall, he saw Feng Jianzhu and Chen Jianzhu sitting at the top. They looked at the puppet substitute curiously, and seemed to be studying something. At the same time, they waited for his real body to appear.

Li Mu hurriedly stepped forward to salute and greeted him respectfully: "I didn't know that the two sword masters were here. I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you from afar."

"Elder Li, there is no need to be polite. Your puppet substitute is really ingenious and lifelike. The aura is completely real. If we were not familiar with you and had the flaw of insufficient soul power, we would have almost thought that you were here in person." Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu, his eyes could not hide his surprise.

"Elder Li, did you make this puppet substitute yourself? You are also proficient in this puppet? You are really a rare talent!" Sword Master Chen looked at Li Mu carefully and asked curiously.

It is rare for ordinary cultivators to be proficient in a skill, but it is rare for Li Mu to have such a deep attainment in refining, array formation, and puppetry.

"Sword Master Chen, thank you for your compliment. This puppet substitute is indeed a little thing I made in my spare time. Compared with the real way of refining equipment and setting up formations, this puppet technique can only be regarded as a little hobby of mine." Li Mu responded modestly.

Hearing this, Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen looked at each other and were impressed by Li Mu's talent. This puppet also has the ability to be a great success. It is really lucky for Xuantian Sword Sect to have such a talent. They can't help but value Li Mu more.

"Two Sword Masters, I wonder if you have any important things to tell me when you come to Qixuan Sect this time? If you need anything, Li will do his best."

Facing the scrutinizing gazes of the two sword masters, Li Mu didn't want to get too entangled in the puppet road and quickly changed the subject.

"Elder Li, did you provide five Taoist weapons for this grand auction of Wanbao Pavilion?" Sword Master Feng nodded slightly, his expression became serious, and he looked at Li Mu and asked.

"Uh! That's right, the three Taoist weapons were entrusted to me by Wanbao Pavilion to refine. The other two Taoist weapons were refined by luck and entrusted to Wanbao Pavilion for auction in exchange for some high-level spiritual materials." Li Mu said calmly He answered, but he had already anticipated the possible commotion it would cause. After all, the appearance of Taoist soldiers often means a fight between dragons and tigers, not to mention the uniqueness and power of the Taoist soldiers that he personally refined. However, with the Xuantian Sword Sect as its backing, this matter should not be trivial. What's going to happen?

"Sword Master Feng, Sword Master Chen, why are you here today for this matter?" Li Mu paused for a moment, looking at Sword Master Feng, Sword Master Chen asked in surprise.

"It is indeed related to this matter!" Sword Master Feng nodded and looked at Li Mu solemnly: "Elder Li, the Taoist weapons you have refined have attracted the attention of many big forces. Wanbao Pavilion's cross-domain auction event , has always been a place for gatherings in the spiritual world, and the Taoist soldiers you entrusted for auction this time are the focus of it. "

"Elder Li!" Sword Master Chen took over the conversation, looked at Li Mu and gestured: "We have received news that there are several big forces eyeing the Taoist weapons you have refined. Not only are they powerful, but they also have a tough style of acting. They are likely to be auctioned. Some extraordinary measures were taken at the meeting. Firstly, we came here to remind you to be careful. Secondly, we wanted to discuss countermeasures with you. Can we cancel the auction of the two Taoist weapons? What high-level spiritual materials do you need? I will do my best to collect it for you.”

Hearing this, Li Mu felt grateful in his heart, knowing that the two sword masters' proposal was out of consideration for his protection and the sect. He also knew that the worries of the two sword masters were not unnecessary, but just after taking the benefits of Wanbao Pavilion, he turned around and broke his promise. This kind of thing Li Mu really couldn't say.

There was a trace of embarrassment on Li Mu's face, and he declined politely: "Sword Master Feng, Sword Master Chen, I understand your concerns, and I am grateful to the Xuantian Sword Sect for protecting me. But for these two Taoist weapons, I accept the affection of Wanbao Pavilion. , this auction is a promise made by a refiner, I’m afraid it’s not easy to cancel.”

Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen looked at each other and couldn't help but reveal a bit of helplessness. (End of chapter)
