Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

"Clang!"

Fan Shaoyang was startled, and hurriedly swung his sword to block the attack from the sword. The opponent was quite skilled in sword control, and the flying sword was so fast and urgent that he almost didn't react.

The Black Iron Sword was hacked away, Li Mu changed his sword control skills again, and controlled the Black Iron Sword to continue attacking.

The Black Iron Sword drew an arc in the air and struck Fan Shaoyang's other side...

Fan Shaoyang hurriedly pulled away, swung his sword and knocked the Black Iron Sword away again.

However, before Fan Shaoyang could change his move and launch an attack on Li Mu, the Black Iron Sword quickly stabilized his figure in the air, and flew towards the other side in the blink of an eye.

Fan Shaoyang had no choice but to wave his sword to resist again.

"Dang, Dang, Dang..." The sound of sword strikes is endless.

Fan Shaoyang held the spirit sword in his hand, chopping, slashing, picking, or beheading... He deflected the Black Iron Sword's attacks time and time again, and had no time to counterattack Li Mu, who was wielding the sword.

Because every time Fan Shaoyang hacked the Black Iron Sword away, it quickly flew to his side and attacked him. It was like brown candy. The Black Iron Sword stuck to him and kept attacking around him, sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes up. Nowadays, he can't escape for a long time!

"Wow! Challenger No. 5 is so powerful, so well-protected!"

"Did Challenger No. 5 let the situation slip on purpose? Why didn't you fight back?"

"Don't you think he doesn't want to! He can't fight back, he's entangled in the opponent's sword control skills!"

"It's amazing! This sword control technique is so flexible, you can actually operate it like this!"

…

In the audience, the eyes of all the servant disciples were attracted by this wonderful fight, and they were talking about it. They didn't expect that the battle would go on like this.

"Brother, I admit defeat!"

Just when everyone was looking forward to the changes in the subsequent battle of this wonderful battle, Li Mu made time, suddenly recalled the Black Iron Sword, saluted Fan Shaoyang and admitted defeat.

"How could it be? The fight hasn't been finished yet!" Fan Shaoyang frowned and looked at Li Mu dissatisfied.

In this fight, Fan Shaoyang had been in a passive defensive state and had no chance to fight back. However, he won, inexplicably, and made him furious.

"Senior brother, I have great sword skills, but I can't break through his defense. However, this kind of sword-wielding skill consumes a lot of spiritual consciousness, and I can't hold on anymore." Li Mu explained apologetically, looking at the examiner under the ring. disciple.

"Zhao Huairen, persist for 32 breaths and pass the assessment. Liao Yanchong, stage 5, ready to go on stage!" The disciple taking the examination looked at Li Mu meaningfully and then announced.

Li Mu quickly came down from the ring and went to the skill assessment office like other handyman disciples who passed the assessment.

Li Mu filled in the question of Ling Zhifu, so he went to Ling Zhifu's skill assessment area.

"Mr. Zhong, that boy is very skilled in sword-wielding! He is a good young man in battle. Why don't you recruit him into the hunting team?" An outer disciple looked at Li Mu's back and signaled to the old man.

"Yes! After the assessment, you go and contact him to see if he is willing to join." Zhong Hongdao nodded in agreement.

The battle just now really made Zhong Hongdao's eyes light up. However, when he thought that the boy's qualifications were only Five Elements Xiapinglinggen, he was no longer so concerned and continued to pay attention to the battle on the five arenas.

…

In the Lingzhifu skill assessment area, a dark-skinned, farmer-looking disciple was looking at Li Mu with a frown, unable to understand how he became Lingzhifu.

"You only learned the art of clearing wind and calling for rain? Didn't you learn the art of calling for rain? Then how do you usually get rid of weeds?" Ling Zhifu looked at Li Mu and asked in confusion.

"I usually go to the field and clear it manually with a hoe." Li Mu replied sheepishly.

"Okay! You need to use the Qingfengyu technique first!" Ling Zhifu's disciple, who was taking the exam, sighed helplessly and signaled.

Different from the cultivation skills learned in other professions, Ling Zhifu is a profession with lower skill requirements and the lowest assessment requirements, because this profession has the fewest outer disciples. Even if you don't learn the art of Kong Rong, you can be proficient in farm work. The main thing is There is only one skill that is tested: the art of summoning wind and rain to water spiritual plants with spiritual rain.

"Senior brother, how large is the coverage area of ​​Lingyu?" Li Mu asked sheepishly as he looked at Ling Zhifu's disciples taking the exam.

Ling Zhifu's assessment area was crowded with few people coming to take part in the assessment. Li Mu didn't have a reference template and didn't know how to behave.

"You usually use the wind and rain technique to water the fields, just do it, and you want me to teach you this?" Ling Zhifu's examination disciple glared at Li Mu and said angrily.

"Yeah! I understand!" Li Mu nodded. After thinking for a while, he still reduced the mana output by 50%. He skillfully picked up the technique of "Wind Calling Rain", gathered a stream of spiritual power, and released it toward the sky.

The next moment, a strong wind responded out of thin air, attracting a cloud of rain clouds over Lingtian in the assessment area, which quickly gathered. Not long after, raindrops the size of soybeans fell down, and a heavy rain began.

"Wow! Why did it rain so heavily suddenly?"

"Why is it raining? The talismans are all wet!"

"It's Lingzhifu's Lingyu from the assessment area. Damn it! Why did it come to us?"

…

From the assessment area next door, there were angry curses from other disciples. They were taking the assessment! Suddenly, they were drowned by a heavy rain, and they started yelling curses.

About two hundred breaths later, the sudden shower stopped sparsely. The soil in the one-acre spiritual field in the assessment area was wet, and the spiritual plants were covered with spiritual water drops.

Ling Zhifu's examination disciple looked at Li Mu dumbfounded, shocked by the amount and duration of the spiritual rain.

"Senior brother, is it okay? Did I pass the exam?" Li Mu asked, looking at the dazed Ling Zhifu taking the exam.

"I've passed it, I've passed it! However, if you want to continue to be a spirit planter in the future, you'd better learn the withering technique, the spirit transformation technique, the seedling cultivation technique to cultivate spiritual seedlings, and the soil testing technique to control the fertility of the spiritual field. When you become a A qualified Lingzhifu has a lot to learn!" Lingzhifu's examination-taking disciple looked at Li Mu and said.

"Thank you, senior brother, for your advice. No one taught me these spiritual planting techniques, and I don't even know them!" Li Mu gratefully thanked Ling Zhifu's disciple who was taking the exam.

"Well, after you pass the outer disciple examination, these exercises can be learned in the sect's teaching hall. Take the token and go to the next level!" Ling Zhifu, the disciple who took the examination, returned the token to Li Mu, gestured.

"Thank you, senior brother!" Li Mu accepted the token and expressed his gratitude again.

Li Mu took the token and came to the third level of asking for help. After handing the token to the examination disciple who was guarding the formation, Li Mu walked straight into the formation.

The fifth-level formation made Li Mu understand the operating principle of this illusory formation at once. When combined with the incense of loss of consciousness, it had a psychedelic mind and produced a dreamlike effect.

Li Mu did not resist, suppressed his soul, and began to accept the test of the phantom formation.
