Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Under Li Mu's command, the puppet spider moved flexibly around the two people with its eight legs. The next moment, the puppet spider flashed and suddenly disappeared, leaving a faint trace of time and space distortion on the spot. Then, it As if integrated into the space, it instantly appeared hundreds of feet away, flickered again, and appeared in another location, so fast that it was dazzling and difficult to see with the naked eye.

"What a benefit! Master, the small time and space shuttle array embedded in this puppet spider is so exquisite. Coupled with the speed of the puppet spider, it is hard to guard against!" Mingyue's eyes flashed with surprise as she praised.

"Indeed, the speed and concealment of this puppet spider are really good, but the level is a bit lower. If it wants to pose a threat to the Void Refining monks, or even higher-level monks, it is still slightly insufficient!" Li Mu smiled, slightly Dissatisfied.

"Master, have you got a new idea?" Mingyue was extremely smart and immediately noticed the deep meaning in Li Mu's words.

"Not bad!" Li Mu looked at Mingyue with deep eyes and nodded: "I need you to cooperate with me to refine a batch of more puppet spiders like this, and improve them on this basis; and then set up some puppet formations with hidden auras to enhance them. Secondly, try to incorporate some defensive formations so that even if you cannot directly confront strong enemies, you can still protect yourself at critical moments; and add some explosiveness..."

"This sounds like a huge challenge, but Mingyue is willing to give it a try!" Mingyue's eyes flashed with excitement. For the Puppet Spirit, nothing excites her more than creating a powerful puppet work.

As a result, the two began to divide the work and cooperate. Li Mu was responsible for designing the new magic circle and the structural improvement plan of the puppet spider, while Mingyue was responsible for refining the puppet body according to Li Mu's design drawings. Li Mu's design was perfectly transformed into reality.

Over time, batches of improved puppet spiders gradually took shape. Not only did they retain their original ability to travel through time and space, they also made a qualitative leap in concealment, defense and explosive power.

A few months later, while Li Mu and Mingyue were immersed in refining the puppet army, a long bell rang from above the Painting World Treasure Mansion, breaking the tranquility in the mansion.

Mingyue stopped her refining work and looked at Li Mu, with a trace of questioning flashing in her eyes.

"We have a visitor, please continue your work!" Li Mu smiled slightly. He had been in seclusion in Baofu for a long time and paid little attention to external affairs, but the arrival of Qingyangzi was obviously an exception.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu's figure flashed and disappeared into the treasure house.

Not long after, Li Mu appeared outside the hospital. When the formation opened, he saw a figure in a green shirt standing with his hands behind his back. It was Qingyangzi. He was smiling and there was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

"Sect Master, you are well! You are living in seclusion here, you are so free!" Qingyangzi looked at Li Mu and laughed, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

"Senior, come in and talk!" Li Mu smiled slightly, probably understanding Qingyangzi's intention.

"Okay!" Qingyangzi nodded, and with a movement of his body, he followed Li Mubu into the hospital.

The two sat at the stone table. Li Mu brewed a pot of spiritual tea with his own hands. The tea was fragrant and the atmosphere was peaceful and harmonious.

"Sect Master, someone from Wanbao Pavilion has recently sent someone to look for me. In addition, Xuantian Sword Sect has also sent someone to look for me." Qingyangzi took a sip of tea and looked at Li Mu and asked with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, Li Mu's face showed a look of assurance, and then a trace of apology appeared on his face.

"Senior, it's my fault!" Li Mu quickly admitted frankly and said apologetically: "I gave away a batch of Dao pills that I personally refined, but they asked about the source of the Dao pills. In desperation, Li reported the name of senior "No. Originally, I should have informed my seniors as soon as possible, but I was busy and forgot about it when I came back recently."

Hearing this, Qingyangzi was slightly stunned at first, then he laughed dumbly, waved his hands and said: "It doesn't matter, the sect master has no choice. Besides, I have a false reputation, and it doesn't hurt to be borrowed from time to time. However, the Tao they want Dan, I don’t know how to refine it!”

Qingyangzi paused for a moment, took a sip of tea, looked at Li Mu deeply, and asked curiously: "Sect Master, is there any leftover Dao Pill you refined? Can you give it to me to take a look at?"

"Of course it's no problem." Li Mu nodded happily, waved his hand, and took out four bottles of elixir from the Tianxuan Ring.

"Guixu Pill, Thousand Life Pill, Wanling Pill, Tianxing Pill, these four Taoist pills, except that Guixu Pill is refined using the method taught by the seniors, the other three Taoist pills are refined using new methods!" Li Mu smiled slightly, He looked at Qingyangzi and introduced.

Listen! Qingyangzi's eyes flashed with surprise and surprise. He quickly stood up, took the four bottles of elixir handed over by Li Mu, opened the cap of one of the bottles, poured out one elixir, and carefully examined its quality.

I saw that a round Guixu Pill fell into the palm of Qingyangzi. The surface was filled with rich medicinal spirit, exuding a golden luster, and the pill pattern was clearly visible. It was like a naturally carved work of art, revealing a mysterious and uncertain atmosphere. breath.

"Guixu Pill is an excellent elixir to assist in refining the bottleneck of the Void Refining Domain. The one you refined has mellow medicinal properties and excellent elixir texture. It is almost perfect. It shows that you have great experience in refining the Guixu Pill." I have a profound understanding and mastery of the Dharma." Qingyangzi was filled with admiration and looked at Li Mu with eyes filled with joy.

Then, Qingyangzi turned his attention to another elixir bottle and poured out the elixir in the bottle. He was suddenly refreshed and reached out to gently pinch it. He saw that the elixir was covered with a layer of rich green mist. , the medicinal properties contain endless vitality and vitality, and the elixir patterns are delicate and complex, just like the veins of nature, exuding an otherworldly atmosphere.

"This, how could this Dao Pill be like this?" Qingyangzi was confused, his eyes were shining brightly, staring at the body of the pill, his consciousness over and over again, without glancing, trying to get a glimpse of the pill formula and the method of refining the pill.

"Sect Master, is this elixir refined? Why is the structure so weird and strange?" Qingyangzi asked with a bit of urgency and disbelief in his tone.

Li Mu smiled slightly, with a hint of pride flashing in his eyes, and said slowly: "Senior, don't worry, this elixir was indeed refined by me. It is made from a new alchemy method that I recently tried. The core of it is that a large amount of The sixth-level single elixir - Yanyuan Lingcao, maximizes the extraction and integration of the medicinal properties and vitality of each elixir."

"How is this done? How can a single elixir be refined into a pill, and it is also a seventh-level Dao pill? This is impossible!" Qingyangzi shook his head in disbelief, his eyes locked tightly on the Qianshou Pill in his hand, as if to See it through.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled slightly and explained: "Senior, I don't know. I have recently made a breakthrough in alchemy. Combining the weapon refining techniques, I tried a new alchemy method called 'Alchemy Fusion'. This method, through The forms of medicinal properties in the elixir are finely divided so that they can blend with each other according to specific rules in the elixir furnace, thereby stimulating unprecedented medicinal effects."

"Delite fusion?" Qingyangzi murmured to himself, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Yes, senior." Li Mu nodded and continued, "When refining this elixir, I extracted thousands of sixth-order Yanyuan spiritual grasses, and used the fusion technique of elixir patterns to fuse each spiritual grass into The medicinal properties and vitality of the medicine were refined to the extreme. Then, I arranged these medicinal properties one by one according to a special formation, and finally formed this unique elixir. "

After Qingyangzi heard this, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"How effective is this pill?" Qingyangzi asked curiously

Li Mu smiled slightly and said confidently: "Senior, this elixir is called 'Qianshou Dan', and its efficacy far exceeds that of ordinary seventh-level Tao elixirs. Taking this elixir can not only extend your life for a thousand years, but also nourish your vitality and enhance your cultivation." , and even help a lot to break through bottlenecks.”

When Qingyangzi heard this, a fiery light flashed in his eyes. He knew very well what longevity meant to a cultivator in the world of cultivation. A pill that can prolong life for thousands of years is undoubtedly a rare treasure.

"Sect Master, your alchemy skills are really amazing." Qingyangzi admired sincerely, his eyes looking at Li Mu full of admiration and expectation.

Li Mu smiled humbly and said, "Thank you, senior. I have only just begun to get a glimpse of my alchemy skills. I still have a long way to go in the future."

Qingyangzi nodded, his eyes flashing with thoughts. After a moment, he slowly said: "Sect Master, I wonder if you can let me see your alchemy method of 'alchemy fusion' with my own eyes? I am very familiar with the method of alchemy." There is also quite a bit of research, and you may be able to get some inspiration from it.”

"This is all right!" Li Mu smiled slightly and nodded happily.

"Senior, please follow me. Li will practice for senior now."

With that said, Li Mu led Qingyangzi towards the alchemy room next to the small courtyard.

In the alchemy workshop, the fire was blazing, and Li Mu started to get busy. He summoned a batch of sixth-level spiritual grass - Mou Xing Spirit Grass, nearly a thousand plants, from the Tianxuan Ring. He made a secret with both hands to condense a ball of five elements spiritual fire...

Qingyangzi stood aside quietly, following Li Mu's movements with his eyes. He was slightly startled when he saw the sixth-level spiritual grass he had summoned - Mou Xing Spiritual Grass.

Based on thousands of years of experience in refining elixirs, it can be confirmed that the Mou Xing Ling Cao used by Li Mu to refine Tao Dan has quality problems. Although they are mature, their medicinal properties are defective and incomplete. If such Ling Cao is used to refine Tao Dan, The success rate of making high-level elixirs is extremely low, let alone refining a Tao elixir of level seven or above. However, the amount of spiritual grass consumed in refining this elixir is too much.

However, Qingyangzi saw that Li Mu looked calm and showed no signs of worry. He couldn't help but become more curious, wanting to see what kind of methods Li Mu could use to turn decay into magic.

I saw that Li Mu skillfully placed the Mou Xing Spirit Grass on the Five Elements Spirit Fire one by one. The medicinal properties were refined one by one and tempered. After a while, drops of essence of the spirit medicine emerged. After a while, Li Mu pinched them with his hands. Techniques, one after another of spiritual power are injected into it, and the spiritual patterns are condensed in the essence of the elixir.

The next moment, a massive amount of spiritual power from heaven and earth poured into the alchemy furnace from all directions. The spiritual patterns inside the elixir essence seemed to be activated and began to shine with dazzling light. There was a wonderful resonance and linkage between them. Under Li Mu's careful control, , they slowly interweave and merge, forming a complex and exquisite pattern, like the most exquisite tapestry between heaven and earth.

Qingyangzi was stunned. He had never seen such a magical scene.

Those tempered essences of Mou Xing Spirit Grass were endowed with such extraordinary vitality in Li Mu's hands, as if they contained a world, and now, these worlds are being skillfully woven together to give birth to a peerless elixir.

With the fusion of the essence of the elixir and the spiritual patterns, the atmosphere in the alchemy furnace became more and more tense and sacred. The spiritual power of heaven and earth gathered faster and faster, almost forming a whirlpool visible to the naked eye, tightly wrapping the alchemy furnace.

I saw Li Mu quickly forming seals with his hands and muttering words in his mouth. A stream of chaotic mana surged out of his body and acted directly on the alchemy furnace. He used the alchemy magical power - 'Melting Alchemy Path' to refine alchemy.

The essence of nearly a thousand sixth-level Muxing spiritual herbs, under the scorching and quenching of the chaotic spiritual fire, has undergone a transformation. The powerful medicinal properties contained in the spiritual herbs are now extracted one by one, constantly gathering and shrinking, forming a rotating vortex of medicinal liquid.

Li Mu concentrated on controlling the spiritual fire in the furnace, and his hands kept changing the seals, constantly injecting the power of chaos into it.

Ordinary alchemy requires many steps such as quenching spiritual medicine, melting medicinal properties, containing elixir spirit, condensing elixir patterns, transforming elixir power, and forming elixir shapes to achieve perfection before high-quality elixir can be refined.

With Li Mu's spell, the essence of the spiritual medicine in the elixir furnace mixed together, and the spiritual patterns began to tremble violently, transforming into a small black hole, madly absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and gradually taking shape,...

The next moment, Li Mu's mind was fully open, and he used his heart as a guide and his spirit as a medium to slowly integrate the Dao of Spiritualization into the vortex of the medicine liquid. As the Dao was integrated, the vortex of the medicine liquid began to undergo drastic changes...

In the alchemy furnace, the spiritual fire gradually extinguished, and a longan-sized spiritual pill emitting rich silver starlight floated in the center of the air and slowly rotated. Dan patterns continued to form on the surface of the pill body, emitting rich medicinal power. For a moment, the sky and the earth changed color, and a large amount of spiritual power gathered.

Suddenly, Li Mu shouted fiercely and slapped the lid of the alchemy furnace with both hands at the same time. With a deafening roar, the lid was opened by a powerful force, and a rich medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire alchemy room, which made people feel refreshed.

Under the cover of the medicinal fragrance, a round and full pill emitting rich starlight slowly rose from the alchemy furnace and floated in the air.

On this pill, the spiritual patterns are complex and mysterious, as if they contain the truth of heaven and earth. The next moment, a strong pressure appeared in the sky, and the will of heaven and earth seemed to awaken at this moment. Heavy clouds quickly gathered above the alchemy room, dark clouds rolled, lightning and thunder roared, and a heart-pounding pressure descended from the sky, covering the entire courtyard.

"Dan Jie?" Qing Yangzi exclaimed in surprise. Only by refining a seventh-level Dao Dan that goes beyond the norm can it attract the test of the will of heaven and earth - Dan Jie.

"This, it's done!" Qing Yangzi took a deep breath and couldn't believe the scene in front of him. However, the facts were in front of him, and he had to believe it.

"It's done!" Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, with a satisfied smile on his face. With a wave of his hand, he activated the concealing magic circle arranged in the courtyard, dissolving the advent of Dan Jie, and the pill fell steadily into his palm, emitting a soft light, warm and peaceful.

Qing Yangzi looked at this scene, his pupils shrank, and he turned to look at Li Mu with a look of shock and awe. (End of this chapter)
