Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Li Mu put away the Painting World Treasure House, and his figure flashed, appearing above the two Nine Nether Kun Whales, and landed on the broad back of a huge Nine Nether Kun Whale below.

These two Nine Nether Kun Whales are the overlords of the star sea. Their huge bodies are like moving islands. At this moment, they seemed to feel the will of their master, Li Mu. Without words, they swung their giant tails at the same time, and their speed soared to the extreme, like two black lightnings, cutting through the dark and depressing star field of the Dark Spirit Star.

The two Nine Nether Kun Whales quickly flew away from the Dark Spirit Star and rushed towards the Qi Ling Star.

Not long after the two Nine Nether Kun Whales left the Dark Spirit Star, a hurried figure appeared, and it was Di Tianxing who fled after being defeated.

Di Tianxing hurried back to his nest in a hurry, but the scene in front of him made his heart tighten, and an indescribable anger and despair intertwined. The originally majestic and magnificent palace complex disappeared, and the entire mountain range was missing a huge gap, which was devastated.

Emperor Tianxing looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. The precious books and treasures of thousands of years, the resources accumulated by generations, have now disappeared, leaving only a desolate and dead silence.

Emperor Tianxing's eyes were red, his fists were clenched, his nails were deeply embedded in his palms, and blood dripped through his fingers, but it did not relieve his inner pain and anger at all. His eyes were like torches, penetrating layers of void, tightly locking onto the two black lightnings that were going away. His heart was burning with anger, but mixed with indescribable anger and unwillingness.

"This thief, how dare he be so cruel and destroy my foundation of thousands of years, this hatred is irreconcilable!" Emperor Tianxing gritted his teeth and roared, his voice echoing in the empty star field, which seemed particularly desolate.

…

In the Painting World Treasure House, the huge black palace slowly sits on the top of the Five Elements Spirit Mountain. Under the control of the Painting World Treasure House, it gradually merges with the Five Elements Spirit Mountain. Large areas of spiritual fields and a large number of high-level spiritual plants are transplanted to suitable spiritual places in various parts of the Treasure House space.

Li Mu pinched the magic formula with his hands, cooperated with the spirit of the Treasure House to smelt this black palace, and released the dragon vein lock spirit formation, releasing a large number of spirit veins and several dragon veins stripped from the Dark Spirit Star.

As the magic formula in Li Mu's hand flowed, suddenly, fine cracks appeared above the palace, and then, a stream of spiritual power that was so dense that it was almost liquefied gushed out like a fountain, rushing straight into the sky, covering the entire Treasure House space in a gorgeous spiritual light.

The moment the dragon vein soul-locking formation was released, the soul veins and dragon veins that had been stripped from the Dark Spirit Star and dormant for a long time finally broke free and released their tremendous power accumulated for countless years. Several dragon veins were winding and circling in the air, and the sound of dragon roars was deafening. With the desire for freedom, they roamed around the treasure house space, looking for a suitable place to live, and integrated into every corner of the treasure house space.

With the integration of a large number of high-level soul veins and dragon veins, the concentration of spiritual power in the treasure house space instantly soared to an unprecedented height. The already vibrant spiritual fields, medicinal fields and fruit forests seemed to be injected with new sources of life at this moment. Under the nourishment of this spiritual power, countless high-level spiritual plants in the space showed even more amazing changes. The entire green spiritual bamboo forest swayed as if celebrating the new life, and the medicine king spiritual ginsengs became more upright...

With the significant increase in the concentration of spiritual energy in the treasure house space, the treasure house spirit-the five-colored dragon kept circling in the air, surrounded by bright light, and excitedly "ang ang" long chant, appearing particularly excited.

The five-colored dragon chanted excitedly, and other creatures in the treasure house space also responded. Various spiritual beasts clearly felt the great increase in the concentration of spiritual power, and showed their most splendid side.

The entire space was filled with spiritual energy and vitality, as if a brand new world was born.

"Okay, okay! Don't rush to celebrate, help me to re-refine this palace first!"

Li Mu smiled and instructed the treasure house spirit.

"Okay, Master!"

The five-colored dragon fell in response, turned into a stream of light, and stopped steadily in front of Li Mu, waiting respectfully.

Li Mu smiled slightly, pinched the spell with his hand, mobilized his spiritual power to cooperate with the five-colored dragon, and re-refined the layout of the black palace.

Li Mu raised his hand and pointed to the black palace. As his fingers moved, a series of spiritual patterns condensed with spiritual light emerged in the air. They flashed with dazzling light, as if they had life, and continued to merge into the black palace.

The five-colored dragon cooperated and spit out a breath of five-colored dragon breath. The next moment, the wall of the black palace continued to peel off, and the formation base disintegrated,...

Not long after, Li Mu took out various high-level refining spiritual materials from the Jiuzang Lingzhu. At the same time, he summoned the extremely yang sky fire to rush to the black palace to re-refine it.

Seeing this, the five-colored dragon stretched out its body, turned into a colorful light belt, and rushed straight into the black palace.

Soon, with the joint efforts of Li Mu and the five-colored dragon, the layout of the black palace began to change dramatically.

The originally monotonous black palace walls gradually became colorful, and each brick and stone seemed to be given life, flowing with a soft and mysterious luster. The space inside the palace was also quietly changing. The originally quiet hall was replanned and transformed into areas with different functions.

The central hall became the core control room of the treasure house space. The huge crystal ball was suspended in the air, reflecting every corner of the entire space, allowing the owner to grasp the dynamics of the treasure house at any time. The surrounding walls were inlaid with ancient runes and array diagrams. They flickered with light, maintaining and enhancing the circulation and balance of spiritual power in the treasure house.

The side halls and pavilions of the palace were transformed into a separate library, alchemy room, and weapon refining room, etc., ..., in the library, there are all kinds of ancient rare books, jade and bamboo slips, which are reorganized and stacked, ..., and the cave that originally stood on the top of the Five Elements Spiritual Mountain was integrated into it.

The space outside the palace was carefully arranged like a fairyland. In addition to the original spiritual fields, medicinal fields and fruit forests, there are also areas such as the spirit beast garden, spiritual spring pool and enlightenment platform, ..., the spring water in the spiritual spring pool gushes, the water element is full, the ground fire in the weapon refining room gushes, and the fire element is enthusiastic, ..., each building is based on the five elements of the Tao, and is cleverly integrated into the nature of heaven and earth, forming a perfect harmonious symbiosis.

In addition to the various buildings in the palace, the overall layout of the palace is still based on the five elements array.

The east, representing the vitality of wood, is green and full of vitality. Various orchards and spiritual fields are planted with various spiritual trees, the roofs are covered with green vines, and the walls are climbed with exotic flowers and plants, ...

In the south, the heat and passion of fire are fully displayed here. The refining room is located in this area, guiding the eruption of earth fire, the flames are high and pure, ...

In the west, the solidity and sharpness of gold have become the theme here. The library is connected to the armory, and ancient books and magic weapons complement each other. Golden runes are looming on the walls. They not only protect the precious books and weapons from being disturbed, but also stimulate the five elements of gold contained in them.

In the north, the spiritual spring pool is located in this area, as if it can connect to the earth veins and absorb endless water power. A thick spiritual stream falls into a thousand-foot waterfall, and a spiritual pool below is planted with various water spiritual plants.

In the center, the thickness and stability of the soil support the entire palace. The core control room is located here. The huge crystal ball not only reflects the scenes inside and outside the palace, but is also closely connected with the Five Elements Dao Foundation, regulating the flow and balance of spiritual power in the entire space.

In this way, under the guidance of the Five Elements Dao Foundation, the Black Palace has a brand new look, completing the transformation from a single Netherworld attribute to the Five Elements Dao, and has become a Five Elements Spirit Palace that integrates multiple functions such as cultivation, alchemy, refining, book collection, and enlightenment.

Li Mu stood in the air above the Five Elements Spirit Palace, looking at this spiritual palace that he had refined with his own hands, and was very happy.

Li Mu has never had too high requirements for the place of cultivation, but this time, he accidentally gained the old nest of Emperor Tianxing, the palace that has been accumulated for thousands of years, and has been refined with many high-level spiritual materials. It has great value. Taking this opportunity, it is just right to improve the place of cultivation.

Li Mu's figure flashed and appeared in the center of the hall, staring at the Cangmu Qinglong Egg suspended above the altar.

By refining this palace, Li Mu not only did not destroy the overall structure of the Reverse Life Formation, but on the contrary, he made up for the shortcomings and strengthened the defects of the Reverse Life Formation, providing more vigorous vitality for the Cangmu Qinglong egg.

However, the operation of the Reverse Life Formation requires a large amount of spiritual power in the treasure house space to be continuously consumed, and it is also impossible to save it from its dying state.

Li Mu frowned, hesitating whether to contract this Cangmu Qinglong. As the wood supreme among the five elements of spiritual beasts, Qinglong has immeasurable potential. If it can grow smoothly, it will surely become a powerful helper on his path of cultivation, especially in assisting the growth of various high-level spiritual plants, which has great benefits.

This Cangmu Qinglong was unable to be born normally because of its incomplete soul. If it is contracted with the Yuling Seal, Li Mu needs to consume some vitality, and the power of the soul can make up for its incompleteness and help it hatch smoothly.

But this approach undoubtedly cost Li Mu a huge sacrifice. However, Cangmu Qinglong is a high-level true spirit, arrogant by nature, and cannot be controlled. Once hatched, its personality and habits are unknown, ..., afraid that it will be a waste of effort.

Li Mu's eyes moved back and forth on the Qinglong egg, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

"Master, do you want to save it!"

Just as Li Mu was in deep thought, the five-colored dragon seemed to sense his hesitation, slowly swam to his side, and gently rubbed him with its huge body, as if supporting this decision.

"Well, but it has a lack of soul, and I need to pay a lot to save it!"

Li Mu sighed and said hesitantly.

"Master, the piece of Yanyuan Lingcao is about to mature. Can your magical ability replace this price?"

The treasure house spirit thought of something and reminded.

The treasure house spirit knew Li Mu's ability very well. It witnessed how Li Mu made great strides step by step. Every time he harvested spiritual plants, his strength would be greatly improved, and a radical change would occur. Therefore, the treasure house space was filled with various high-level spiritual plants.

Now, there is a batch of sixth-level spiritual plants about to mature in the treasure house space. Their properties seem to be able to replace Li Mu to bear the cost of rescuing this true spirit. Therefore, the treasure house spirit asked this question.

After hearing this, Li Mu was refreshed and immediately understood what the treasure house spirit meant.

The property of the sixth-level Yanyuan spiritual grass is to increase vitality and have the ability to prolong life. Its plant spirit property has a great probability of offsetting the price Li Mu paid for Yuqi, the Cangmu Qinglong.

"Haha, not bad, you reminded me well!"

A hint of joy flashed in Li Mu's eyes. He happily praised the treasure house spirit and quickly calculated the feasibility of this plan.

The next moment, Li Mu's figure flashed and appeared next to a top-grade spiritual field. With the substantial increase in the concentration of spiritual energy in the space, the sixth-level Yanyuan spiritual grasses in the spiritual field grew well. They stood tall and graceful, like emerald green elves, swaying gently in the morning light, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance.

The leaves of each Yanyuan spiritual grass are full and shiny, and the green spiritual power flowing between the veins is like a river of life. It looks vibrant and full of vigorous vitality. They have entered the mature stage and are almost ready to be harvested.

Li Mu's eyes flashed with impatience, and he raised his hand to cast a spell to harvest.

"Brother Li, what did you do? The spiritual energy in the space has changed so much!"

Xue'er saw Li Mu and flew over quickly, asking in surprise.

Hearing this, Li Mu turned around and looked at Xue'er's curious face, smiling and introducing: "I have absorbed several spiritual veins."

Li Mu looked at Xue'er and changed the subject: "Xue'er, you came at the right time. I was just about to harvest these sixth-level Yanyuan spiritual grasses. Come and help me."

"Okay!" Xue'er nodded happily without any doubt.

Li Mu moved slightly, and his hands quickly formed seals, performing the Golden Knife Technique. A dazzling golden light cut through the air like a sharp blade, and accurately passed through the lush roots of the sixth-level Yanyuan Spiritual Grass.

In an instant, as if the power of life was awakened, the spiritual herbs swayed gently in the golden light, and then slowly fell, emitting a stronger medicinal fragrance, filling the entire space.

Seeing this, Xue'er hurriedly flew forward, her skillful hands seemed to have magic power, and with a light wave, the storage ring flashed, and countless exquisite jade boxes emerged. She closed her eyes and concentrated, and her mind shuttled between each spiritual herb like silk, accurately and accurately putting them into the jade box one by one, and her movements were so fast that it was amazing.

However, Li Mu harvested too many spiritual herbs at one time. Faced with such a large number, Xue'er was inevitably a little overwhelmed, and her fingers flew as she flew, revealing a bit of urgency and busyness.

Li Mu was not aware of this. All he could see were the fallen sixth-level Yanyuan spiritual roots, with golden light balls emerging, and a bright smile on his face.

"After more than a hundred years of careful cultivation, countless days and nights of waiting, today, we finally have the moment of harvest." Li Mu was filled with emotion, his eyes flashing with excitement and satisfaction, his mind surged like a tide, instantly covering those golden plant spirit light balls.

The next moment, countless golden plant spirit light balls rushed towards Li Mu like moths to a flame, drowning him. (End of this chapter)
