Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Li Mu exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the five elements of energy surrounding him gradually subsided, and the five elements of the Dao gradually disappeared.

"Although I can't fully control the five elements of the Dharma at this moment, it can be considered a blessing in disguise to be able to activate it at a critical moment." Li Mu stared at the direction where Di Tianxing fled with a deep gaze, and fell into a state of enlightenment.

This battle is not only a comprehensive test of Li Mu's hundreds of years of hard practice, exquisite skills, and carefully refined Taoist tools and puppets, but also a baptism of the soul. Wandering on the edge of life and death, he has a clearer understanding of his own cultivation, and his understanding of the Dao of the Five Elements has reached an unprecedented depth.

Thinking of this, Li Mu's mind moved, his fingers flicked, the Nine Treasures of the Spirit Pearl shone, and several bottles of extremely rare elixirs appeared out of thin air. He took out the Tiangang Refining Spirit Pill and Taixuan Qingshen Pill without hesitation, took the two medicines together, and then closed his eyes and concentrated, running the technique.

The entrance of the sixth-level elixir instantly turned into a warm and majestic torrent of spiritual power. They penetrated the body like a trickle, not only quickly repairing the damaged body and soul in the battle, but also completing a spiritual purification and sublimation under the fierceness of the Tiangang Refining Spirit Pill and the softness of the Taixuan Purifying Spirit Pill. Li Mu's soul was nourished unprecedentedly, and his mind became unusually clear, as if he could see through the essence of all things in the world.

Li Mu couldn't help but close his eyes and re-engage in the enlightenment of the Five Elements.

When Li Mu opened his eyes again, his face was filled with a joyful smile. The five Dao swords shining with the light of the Five Elements and the majestic Wanjian Mountain seemed to sense the changes in the master's state of mind, and flew to his side, dancing around him, and the sound of the swords was crisp and pleasant, as if singing for his breakthrough.

"Okay, you have worked hard, go back." Li Mu whispered softly, his tone full of tenderness and kindness.

The five Dao swords and Wanjian Mountain seemed to understand what their master meant. They flashed and turned into dots of light, which shrank rapidly and turned into streams of light that flew into Li Mu's body.

Li Mu turned his head to look at the floating Soul Realm Pearl, wondering why Senior Qing Yangzi had been silent at this moment.

"Senior, are you okay?" Li Mu sent a ray of divine thought to the Soul Realm Pearl and asked Qing Yangzi.

"It's okay. I'm just a little shocked. My friend actually defeated the 'Emperor of Night'. Such talent and strength are rare even in the ancient times, which is amazing." Qing Yangzi suddenly woke up and responded to Li Mu with some emotion.

In fact, the degree of shock in Qing Yangzi's heart was much stronger than what he expressed verbally.

As the Night Emperor-Di Tianxing came from the same era, Qing Yangzi knew his terrifying strength better than anyone else. For some reason, he failed to cross the last step of the Dao Lord realm. However, the accumulation of ten thousand years made his cultivation unfathomable, and he had already reached the realm of a half-step Dao Lord.

Before that battle, the Night Emperor-Di Tianxing also showed the strength of a half-step Dao Lord, the True Dragon Domain, the Heavenly Dragon Cauldron Dao Instrument, the Dragon Emperor's true body, and various shocking methods, one by one, his might was enough to shake the world and make countless strong men feel afraid.

However, facing such a powerful opponent, Li Mu was like the light of dawn, and he defeated the Night Emperor-Di Tianxing by himself. The various methods he used made Qing Yangzi "dumbfounded".

A talisman that can resist the combined attack of Emperor Tianxing, a sword formation that drives multiple puppets, a five-element cultivator, a master of time and space magic, a spiritual consciousness comparable to that of a combined cultivator, a body-refining ability comparable to that of a combined cultivator, and a number of Daoist swords, good at sword formations, ..., endless means and trump cards.

Qingyangzi witnessed with his own eyes how Li Mu constantly broke through himself in battle, used the Dao of the Five Elements to perfection, and the formation he laid contained the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, as if he was the master of the Five Elements who controlled the birth and death of all things.

When Li Mu finally sacrificed the five Dao swords shining with colorful light, Qingyangzi could even feel the resonance and tremor of the five elements between heaven and earth. It was not just the sharpness of the sword, but also Li Mu's profound understanding and control of the Dao of the Five Elements, ....

When Li Mu used the Five Elements Dharma that only a cultivator in the Fusion Realm could use, and then drove the Dao Sword to defeat Emperor Tianxing, Qing Yangzi was even more shocked. It was rare for a cultivator in the Fusion Realm to be able to condense the Dharma, but Li Mu did this with his Refining Void cultivation, and also integrated the Five Elements Dharma so perfectly, which was an unprecedented feat. This is not only a profound understanding of the Five Elements Dao, but also a manifestation of the ultimate control of power.

Recalling the previous battle, Qing Yangzi's mood still couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Senior, you are too kind. I also paid a great price to win this battle." Li Mu smiled bitterly and said with some pain.

In this battle, most of the spiritual swords equipped by Wanjian Mountain were damaged, the spirituality of five Dao swords was damaged, dozens of sixth-level puppets were damaged, and the refined spiritual talismans were almost used up... It can be said that this battle almost exhausted the resources accumulated by Li Mu for hundreds of years.

But it was this battle that almost exhausted everything that made Li Mu have a deeper understanding of his fighting style and his own strength, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

"My friend, the cost of loss can be recovered! In this battle, Di Tianxing fled in a hurry. His nest must still have countless treasures and high-level spiritual materials. The wealth he has accumulated for thousands of years should be enough to make up for your losses and even allow you to move to a higher level." Hearing this, Qingyangzi laughed and quickly woke him up.

Hearing this, Li Mu's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed!

That's right!

The entire Dark Spirit Star was occupied by Di Tianxing. Thousands of years ago, Dark Spirit Star was the intersection of the waterways between the outside world and the territory. It was extremely prosperous, with countless monks and caravans stopping here to trade.

Although Dark Spirit Star has completely declined now, Di Tianxing is still a half-step master, and he must have accumulated unimaginable wealth and resources.

"Thank you, senior for your advice!"

Li Mu thanked Qingyangzi, then cleaned up the battlefield, put away the dozen dragon corpses left by Di Tianxing, and treated the injuries of two seriously injured Nine Nether Kun Whales...

Not long after, Li Mu's figure appeared in the sky above the Dark Spirit Star, letting go of his spiritual thoughts to continuously scan the entire planet.

Finally, Li Mu learned the location of Di Tianxing's lair on Dark Spirit Star.

Di Tianxing's lair is hidden in a mysterious mountain range on Dark Spirit Star. After countless years, the entire area has been covered by a large magic circle and shrouded in thick fog. If Li Mu hadn't possessed the seventh-level magic formation and was good at it, I'm afraid that It is also difficult to see its true appearance.

Soon, Li Mu confirmed the origin of the mountain-protecting formation. The formation was called the "Misty Hidden Dragon Formation" and was specially designed to protect the hidden cave.

This formation is extremely powerful. Once activated, it can completely seal the surrounding space, forming a misty illusion, making it difficult for those who enter the formation to distinguish the direction, let alone find the formation's eye. What's even more frightening is that there are several illusory dragon shadows condensed by spiritual power hidden in the mist. They will transform into corresponding forms and attack power based on the cultivation and aura of those who enter the formation, and attack intruders. Conduct an all-round attack.

Knowing the origin of the protective formation, Li Mu easily broke through the formation. He first cast a spell to drive the flow of mist, causing it to temporarily reveal flaws. Then he found the position of the formation pattern, and used his sword as a pen to modify the direction of the formation pattern...

Soon, the "Misty Hidden Dragon Formation" covering the mountains became the thing in Li Mu's palm. He lightly adjusted the "Misty Hidden Dragon Formation" recognition rules, so that the mist and dragon shadows originally used for defense were instead used by him. , became a help to explore the cave.

When Li Mu stepped into the fog, he was like a fish swimming in water, moving freely through the water. Those terrifying illusory dragon shadows were meekly surrounding him at this moment, or appearing in front of him to guide him.

Li Mu's figure was like lightning, passing through layers of fog and reaching the core area of ​​the mountain range. There, an ancient, huge and majestic palace stood quietly, like a huge black mountain, as if time had not left any trace on it, revealing a secret. Such indescribable majesty and vicissitudes.

Almost all of Dark Spirit Star's spiritual veins were forcibly restrained here by a large magic circle. The spiritual energy around the cave formed into a thick white mist, and it was only one step away from liquefying the spiritual energy.

Li Mu recognized the extraordinary features of this large array at a glance. It was called "Dragon Veins Spirit Locking Array." This formation is no small matter, it is an extremely rare formation passed down from ancient times, specially designed to imprison the spiritual energy and spiritual veins between heaven and earth. Once the Dragon Vein Spirit Locking Array is deployed, it can forcibly extract and condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within tens of thousands of miles or even wider areas around it, as well as the spiritual veins buried deep underground, into the center of the array, forming a secret realm with extremely rich spiritual energy for the cloth. It is used by practitioners to practice or store resources.

I saw a light curtain made of countless runes intertwined across the sky, incompatible with the surrounding natural environment, but harmoniously symbiotic. It was the entrance to the Dragon Vein Locking Spirit Array. The array shone with powerful spiritual light, like stars dotting the night sky. It also looks like dragon scales covering the earth, revealing an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

However, Li Mu didn't look at the formation for long before his eyes were attracted by the surroundings of the giant palace in the center of the formation.

Surrounding the giant palace, a vibrant scene greeted Li Mu's eyes, as if it were the most exquisite masterpiece of nature, specially created for cultivators and alchemists. The first thing that caught his attention was the vast spiritual fields surrounding the palace. These spiritual fields were carefully divided into different areas, and each area was planted with spiritual plants adapted to its characteristics.

On the east side, there is a green spiritual grass garden, which is planted with various rare spiritual grasses, such as evergreen vines, ice mist spiritual grass, purple golden spiritual flowers, etc. They are blooming with colorful spiritual flowers. Moisturized by the rich spiritual energy, it becomes even more vibrant.

Turning to the south, there is a medicinal field. Most of the medicinal materials needed for alchemy are grown here, such as purple cloud ganoderma, golden thread lingzhi, etc. They have different shapes, colorful colors, and exude a strong medicinal fragrance. People's spirits are lifted. In the medicinal field, various attribute formations are also arranged to assist the growth of these spiritual herbs, providing the best environment for the growth of various high-level elixirs.

On the west side, there is a fruit forest. The trees are full of various spiritual fruits, such as flat peaches, colorful phoenix fruits, Tianxin pears, etc. They are not only delicious, but also contain rich spiritual power and special effects. , some can strengthen the physical body, and some can enhance spiritual consciousness. They are excellent supplements for monks after practicing.

The most eye-catching thing is the spiritual plant garden on the north side of the palace. Some extremely rare high-level spiritual plants are planted here, such as dragon blood spiritual wood, wind heart green bamboo, etc. They are not only strange in shape, It also contains the principles and laws of heaven and earth. These spiritual plants often require thousands or even tens of thousands of years of growth cycle to mature, so one can imagine how precious they are.

In these spiritual fields, medicine fields, and fruit fields, there are various vegetation spirits wandering around, busy taking care of them.

Looking at this large area of ​​spiritual fields and thousands of spiritual plants, both sides of Li Mu shone brightly, with unconcealable joy on their faces.

"Sent!"

"Hahaha! It's getting bigger now!"

Li Mu was ecstatic. With the power of plant spirit absorption, the higher the level of the spirit plant and the more varieties it had, the greater the gain for him. The large number of high-level spirit plants with a complete variety in front of him were more valuable than the rare treasures and various inheritance secrets stored in the palace by Emperor Tianxing.

In addition to the vast number of spirit plants, the vast number of spirit veins imprisoned in this palace also had extremely high value for Li Mu.

After the eighth-level cave heaven treasure-painting treasure house upgraded its space, the demand for spiritual power increased. Moreover, Li Mu would consume a lot of spiritual energy in the treasure house when refining spirit talismans, spirit treasures, and Taoist tools.

If all these spirit veins could be collected in the painting world treasure house, not only could his huge spiritual energy demand be met, but the quality of the painting world treasure house might also be improved sharply.

Thinking of this, Li Mu's smile became brighter and brighter. He began to carefully explore the distribution of spiritual veins around the palace. Using his deep understanding of the formation, he carefully planned how to collect these spiritual veins into the Huajie Treasure House without destroying the integrity and stability of the Dragon Vein Locking Spirit Formation.

It is not an easy task to pack so many spiritual veins away at once. Once improperly operated, it may not only cause the collapse of the entire formation, but also cause the spiritual veins to lose control, causing unpredictable disasters.

However, Li Mu soon found something wrong. The direction of the spiritual veins drawn by this formation, most of the spiritual power poured into the core of the palace, like a bottomless pit, constantly devouring the surrounding spiritual power, but almost no leakage. However, when the divine sense was used to detect, it was isolated by a magical power.

This abnormal phenomenon made Li Mu's heart ring with alarm bells. You know, his soul is as powerful as that of a combined mirror master. The perfect nebula visualization method has attached many powerful divine senses to his divine mind, and there is almost no power that can stop his divine mind from peeping.

But the power in front of him was like the fog in the abyss, deep and ancient, making Li Mu's consciousness like a drop in the ocean, unable to touch its core. He immediately realized that this palace might not be simple.

Li Mu focused his eyes on the giant palace in front of him. The towering building was even more mysterious under the shroud of spiritual energy. Emperor Tianxing lived in Dark Spirit Star and arranged many defenses in his nest. There must be some secrets that cannot be revealed. (End of this chapter)
