Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

After the transaction was completed, Li Mu and Wan Renlang smiled at each other and each considered the harvest.

Li Mu was thinking about how to use these resources to further meet the needs of the many spiritual plants in the Painting World Treasure Mansion, and planned to refine some auxiliary spiritual weapons that could enhance the spiritual energy of the Painting World Treasure Mansion; Wan Renlang was thinking about how to use these precious Taoist plants. The elixir and Taoist artifacts are shown to other important customers of Wanbao Pavilion, and how to use the upcoming auction to maximize the value of these treasures.

Soon, Wan Renlang enthusiastically sent Li Mu out of the Wanbao Pavilion headquarters building. After Li Mu and Fang Yunjian reunited, they boarded the spirit ship together and set off back to Xuantian Sword Sect.

About half a month later, Li Mu's small fleet arrived at the Xuantian Sword Sect. The seven spiritual ships slowly landed on the sect's parking platform, attracting the attention of many fellow sect members.

After the two disembarked from the ship, they simply greeted their fellow passengers who had been waiting for a long time and hurried to their respective destinations.

Li Mu stood up with his sword and went straight to Wenjian Peak - Contribution Hall.

The sun shines through the clouds and dapples on the simple glazed tiles of the Contribution Hall, reflecting a solemn and peaceful atmosphere. The majestic hall is surrounded by a scent of elixir, which is unique to the exotic flowers and plants planted around the hall. breath.

Li Mu lowered his sword. In the main hall, the master of the Contribution Hall, Qiu Yuanhong, came out of the hall first to greet him.

"Elder Li, thank you for your hard work!" Qiu Yuanhong said enthusiastically with some sincere concern on his face.

Li Mu responded with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are welcome. This trip went well. I came here to report to you and discuss the next matters with you."

The two walked side by side into the main hall, passed through rows of bookshelves filled with various classics and treasures, and came to a simply decorated but solemn meeting room. There was a long table in the center of the room, with two sides. There are several carved wooden chairs in each, obviously set up for important discussions.

"Elder Li, how are the conditions in the sealed areas?" Qiu Yuanhong asked directly with a hint of concern in his eyes after he sat down.

"The situation is not bad. Killing formations have been re-deployed in each sealed place, and the guarding monks are in place. There are no major changes for the time being." Li Mu indicated with a smile, and then described the trip in detail, reporting on the layout of several sealed places.

After hearing this, Qiu Yuanhong's brows relaxed slightly, and he was obviously quite satisfied with Li Mu's handling. He nodded happily and said in approval: "Elder Li is really prudent in his actions. The sect is really lucky to have an elder like you."

"This time, Elder Li completed the inspection of seven sealed places and worked hard to arrange many killing formations. His hard work is a great achievement!" Qiu Yuanhong praised Li Mu and then gestured: "Elder Li, give your sect token Give me the sect’s contribution for registering this mission for you.”

Hearing this, Li Mu smiled and took out the Order of the Supreme Elder with intricate spiritual patterns carved from his arms, placed it gently on the table, and pushed it towards Qiu Yuanhong unceremoniously.

Li Mu was in urgent need of exchanging a batch of high-level spiritual materials with the sect, and this contribution from the sect was naturally indispensable. You must know that during the two years of this mission, a total of more than a dozen early warnings were arranged for seven sealed places. The formation, the protection and killing formation, the hard work, this contribution is naturally a lot.

Qiu Yuanhong took Li Mu's identity token, took out the token of the Contribution Hall Master, and then stacked the two tokens together. With a flick of his finger, a glimmer of light flashed, and the sect's contribution was transferred to Li Mu's token. , below is his contribution to this mission.

Qiu Yuanhong's spiritual consciousness checked Li Mu's accumulated sect contributions, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

"Elder Li, the task of this trip is arduous, but you have completed it so well. It is really admirable. Your accumulated contribution to the sect has refreshed the sect's historical record. Elder Li's hard work to the sect has always been appreciated by the sect. Keep it in mind." Qiu Yuanhong looked at Li Mu with joy and praised.

Li Mu smiled and shook his head, and said humbly: "Hall Master, thank you. This is my duty as an elder of the sect. Moreover, without the resources and support provided by the sect, I would not be able to complete these tasks."

Hearing this, Qiu Yuanhong laughed and said, "Elder Li is so humble."

With that said, Qiu Yuanhong handed the Supreme Elder's order back to Li Mu.

Li Mu smiled slightly and did not take it back. Instead, he said directly: "Palace Master, I just need to redeem a batch of high-level spiritual materials. It's better to choose the right time than to hit the sun."

When Qiu Yuanhong heard this, he was slightly startled, and then smiled and said: "Since Elder Li has such a need, I have no reason to refuse. Tell me, what high-level spiritual materials are needed?"

Li Mu was overjoyed and quickly handed Qiu Yuanhong the list of high-level spiritual materials he needed. This list listed the various rare materials he planned to use to refine the auxiliary spiritual weapons, each of which was carefully selected. , is a necessity for improving seven high-level spiritual plants.

Qiu Yuanhong took the list and browsed it carefully. He was immediately shocked by the quantity and quality of the spiritual materials Li Mu needed.

Qiu Yuanhong raised his head and glanced at Li Mu, then calmed down his shock and regained his composure.

Li Mu's ability is there, and it is no problem to refine seventh-level Taoist weapons. Now it is natural to exchange for so many high-level spiritual materials.

Qiu Yuanhong pondered for a moment and then said in a deep voice: "Elder Li, the spiritual materials you need are all extremely rare. Although there are reserves in the sect's treasure pavilion, the quantity may not be able to meet all your needs."

After hearing this, Li Mu's heart sank slightly, but then he asked with a glimmer of hope: "Can the hall master tell me which spiritual materials the sect has and which ones are scarce?"

Qiu Yuanhong nodded, divided the spiritual materials on the list one by one, and explained in detail which spiritual materials were in stock and which ones needed special search: "For example, the 'Millennium Cold Iron' and the 'Colorful Glazed Stone', the sect's treasures There are still some reserves in the pavilion, but the 'Yin Nether Earth' and 'Pure Yang Spirit Sand' are extremely scarce. These two spiritual materials are not only rare, but also extremely difficult to collect. You need to go deep into the Yin Nether Land to obtain the Pure Yang Fire Vein. Found.”

Qiu Yuanhong frowned slightly and continued: "In addition, the quantity of 'Xuanji True Water' and 'Red Flame Xuanjing' is also small. The former needs to be refined from the tens of thousands of years of spring veins, while the latter needs to go deep into the earth's core fire. Veins can only be formed after many times of hard work..."

Listening to Qiu Yuanhong's eloquent narration, Li Mu sighed and said helplessly: "Elder Qiu, I understand. In this list, there are as many treasures as there are in the treasure house. Take as many as you have!"

Hearing this, a trace of reluctance flashed in Qiu Yuanhong's eyes, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Elder Li, we are preparing to empty out all the seventh-level spiritual materials from the sect's treasure house!"

Although he said this, Qiu Yuanhong still handled it for Li Mu. He picked up the token of the sect's contribution hall, closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to think about something.

After a moment, Qiu Yuanhong opened his eyes and looked at Li Mu with a hint of apology.

"Elder Li, I have calculated your sect contribution. Although you have accumulated a very high sect contribution, it may not be enough to exchange for the seventh-level spiritual materials in the treasure house on the list! There is a big gap! Qiu Yuanhong looked at Li Mu and said with a hint of happiness in his tone.

Hearing this, Li Mu smiled slightly, feeling happy instead of annoyed. Hearing what Elder Qiu said, there were quite a lot of high-level spiritual materials stored in the sect's treasure house in front of him.

"Palace Master, I have a lot of good things here. Can I exchange them with the sect for some high-level spiritual materials?" Li Mu put his mind into the Tianxuan Ring, took out forty-two pill bottles, suspended them in the air, and signaled road.

Seeing this, Qiu Yuanhong was slightly startled. He originally thought that Li Mu would bring out some Taoist tools he personally refined to exchange for high-level spiritual materials with the sect. Unexpectedly, he actually took out so many pill bottles.

Qiu Yuanhong curiously took an elixir bottle and opened the cap. Immediately, a strong medicinal fragrance hit his nostrils, which lifted his spirits.

"This is!"

"Seventh level high-grade Dao elixir, and also a longevity elixir?"

"this!"

The elixir bottle in Qiu Yuanhong's hand trembled slightly. He stared at the elixir in the bottle that exuded a warm luster and overflowing with medicinal fragrance, his eyes full of shock. As a cultivator at the peak of Void Refining, he naturally recognized the extraordinary nature of this elixir - the seventh-level high-grade longevity elixir. Its preciousness was far beyond what some seventh-level high-level spiritual materials could compare with.

"Elder Li, this... did you refine it yourself? This...!" Qiu Yuanhong's voice trembled slightly and he looked at Li Mu in disbelief.

You know, even the alchemy masters within the sect would find it extremely difficult to refine such a high-quality longevity elixir. Li Mu is obviously a master of weapon refining and is good at formations, so he can also refine elixirs?

At the same time, Li Mu is still a monk who practices ancient techniques.

A person's energy is limited, and it is difficult for even a talented person to reach the top in multiple fields. However, the Li Mu in front of him seemed to have broken this routine, not only having amazing attainments in weapon refining and formations.

Is he even so skilled at alchemy?

This couldn't help but put Qiu Yuanhong in a dilemma, looking at Li Mu with eyes full of disbelief.

"Palace Master, I misunderstood. These Taoist elixirs were refined by the elixir sage Qingyangzi and have nothing to do with Li!" Li Mu smiled slightly and pushed Qingyangzi out again.

Don't worry if you have a lot of debt. You have already 'sold' Qingyangzi to Wanbao Pavilion. It doesn't matter if you sell him again. When the time comes, you can explain it to him carefully and you should be able to deal with it.

What's more, Qingyangzi owed him a lot of favors, and now he can't escape from the world in Qixuan Sect. It's time to make good use of this "resource". Li Mu secretly calculated in his heart, but his face remained calm as he continued to say to Qiu Yuanhong. : "Palace Master, Qingyangzi and I have quite a friendship. These pills are the rewards he paid for entrusting me to refine the Taoist tools. I thought that instead of letting these pills sit idle in my hands, it would be better to take them out and share them with the sect." The exchange of some urgently needed high-level spiritual materials can be regarded as a small contribution to the sect. "

"In addition to the Seven Bottles of Longevity Pills, there are also four Tao Pills that are equally rare and have magical effects." Li Mu paused and introduced to Qiu Yuanhong.

As he spoke, Li Mu gently waved his sleeves, and four of the pill bottles slowly flew to Qiu Yuanhong.

Qiu Yuanhong's attention was firmly attracted by these new pill bottles, and he couldn't help but open the second pill bottle.

I saw that the elixir inside the bottle showed a crystal clear blue, like a pearl in the deep sea, exuding a tranquil and profound aura.

"This is..., the seventh-level Tianxing Pill!" Qiu Yuanhong exclaimed, recognizing its origin at a glance. It is a top-grade Taoist pill that can increase the sea of ​​consciousness and soul. It is as rare as the Thousand Life Pill.

Li Mu smiled slightly and gestured: "Yes, this is the Heavenly Star Pill, which is based on a large amount of sixth-level Mouxing Spirit Grass and carefully refined by the hands of the Qingyangzi Pill Saint. This pill can greatly increase the soul and broaden consciousness. There are six in total of the miraculous effects of the sea.”

"Okay, okay, just these six Heavenly Star Pills can allow several sword-wielding elders of our sect to make up for the shortcomings in their souls that they have spent hundreds of years cultivating!" Qiu Yuanhong's voice trembled slightly, and there was an unconcealable excitement in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Qiu Yuanhong excitedly opened the third elixir bottle, and a strong vitality rushed to his face. The elixir in the bottle was golden yellow, with powerful golden spirit patterns flowing on the surface, exuding powerful sharp gold principles.

"What is this?" Qiu Yuanhong's voice was filled with a hint of incredible excitement. He stared at the Dao Dan in the bottle that exuded a strong Jin Yuan power, his face was blank, and his eyes flickered with confusion.

Even though Qiu Yuanhong, the master of the Contribution Hall of Xuantian Sword Sect, was knowledgeable, he had never seen such a strange Dao Dan.

Qiu Yuanhong frowned slightly. Through a divine sense scan, he could sense that this Dao Dan contained a very strong Jin Yuan Dao principle and had a very strong medicinal effect. If a cultivator with a gold spiritual root took this pill, his cultivation would surely advance by leaps and bounds, and it might even be possible to achieve a qualitative leap in realm and further improve his qualifications.

But even so, Qiu Yuanhong still couldn't accurately determine the origin of this pill, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Elder Li, what is the origin of this pill? I have lived for so long, and this is the first time I have seen such a strange gold Dao Dan." Qiu Yuanhong turned his head to look at Li Mu, his eyes full of inquiry.

Li Mu smiled slightly, as if he had expected Qiu Yuanhong to ask this question, and hurriedly explained: "Palace Master, this pill is called 'Seventh Level-Golden Yuan Breaking Barrier Pill'. It is made by Qingyangzi with a variety of rare gold spiritual materials and his own unique alchemy skills. This pill can not only greatly improve the gold power of gold spiritual root cultivators, but also help them when they encounter bottlenecks in their cultivation, break through obstacles, and advance to a higher realm. It is of great help to the cultivators of the Refining Void Realm to break through the fusion realm!"

"Good! Good! Our sect has the most gold spiritual root cultivators of the Refining Void Realm. With the help of this pill, our sect's strength will surely reach a higher level!" Qiu Yuanhong heard this, and his face was full of irrepressible joy, and his eyes were shining with infinite longing for the future of the sect.

"I wonder how many bottles of this pill there are?" Qiu Yuanhong looked at Li Mu and asked anxiously, obviously very concerned about the number of this Golden Yuan Breaking Barrier Pill.

Li Mu smiled slightly, as if he had expected Qiu Yuanhong's reaction. He raised his hand gently, and five pill bottles flew to Qiu Yuanhong. A faint golden glow flowed on the bottles, echoing the golden power of the pills in the bottles.

"There are six bottles of this pill. The remaining ones are Guixu Pills, twelve pills. This pill has the effect of increasing the probability of condensing the law domain by 30%. Wanling Pills, ten pills. This pill has the effect of tempering spiritual roots and improving qualifications." Li Mu introduced with a smile, explaining the number and efficacy of the remaining spiritual pills one by one.

After listening to Li Mu's explanation, Qiu Yuanhong immediately showed a brilliant smile, his face flushed: "Good! Good! They are all good pills! They are worthy of being seventh-level Taoist pills, and none of them are ordinary goods. With these pills, the strength of my Xuantian Sword Sect will surely advance by leaps and bounds and reach a higher level!"

"Elder Li, you have made great contributions to the sect this time. On behalf of the sect, I would like to express my most sincere thanks to you!" Qiu Yuanhong's words were full of gratitude.

Li Mu laughed and waved his hand, saying, "You are too polite, Palace Master. I should do my part for the sect. Besides, I have something to ask for!"

"Haha, no problem, no problem. I will do my best to satisfy Elder Li's request!" Qiu Yuanhong laughed happily, apparently agreeing to Li Mu's proposal to exchange this batch of Dao Dan for high-level spiritual materials.

Those high-level spiritual materials stored in the sect's treasury can only serve as the sect's foundation, but cannot be truly transformed into the improvement of the sect's strength;

Now, the sect is in a turbulent time, with powerful enemies outside and disciples with uneven cultivation inside. Exchanging all high-level spiritual materials for such precious Dao Dan will undoubtedly allow the sect to gain substantial enhancement in a short period of time, and it will also help Li Mu, killing two birds with one stone.

Qiu Yuanhong restrained his smile and began to estimate the value of this batch of Dao Dan. (End of this chapter)
