Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Li Mu's mind moved, and a large number of high-level spiritual materials were taken out from the Tianxuan Ring. There were dozens of them, all of which were fine products. Under the innate magical power-identifying all spirits, their properties were presented one by one.

…

These high-level spiritual materials were either emptied from the Wanbao Pavilion warehouse, or from the Xuantian Sword Sect treasury, or from the commission of other cultivators to refine Dao instruments, and Li Mu kept collecting and accumulating them.

In addition to these treasured high-level spiritual objects, there are also some newly acquired high-level spoils - Blood Dao Marrow Crystal, Xuanyin Dao Crystal,...

Li Mu frowned, thinking about which high-level spiritual materials to use to refine this eighth-level Taoist artifact. After the Immortal Demon Banner was calcined and reshaped by the Chaos Fire, the demonic nature disappeared and the power was slightly reduced, but if a suitable high-level spiritual material is found to match it, there is still a chance to push it to the peak of the eighth-level Taoist artifact, or even to the threshold of the ninth level.

Looking at the dazzling array of high-level spiritual materials in front of him, Li Mu had a plan in his mind. The eighth-level [Space Realm Stone] [Year Wheel Moon Pearl], ..., will be kept for the Painting Realm Treasure House, which is suitable for refining at the moment, ....

Li Mu chose [Star Core Gold] and planned to use it as the core material of the Immortal Demon Banner. Using the endless gold essence contained in it, he would strengthen the sharpness and toughness of the Demon Banner. He formed seals with his hands, activated the Chaos Fire, and began to slowly refine this precious [Star Core Gold].

The flames jumped, carrying the ancient charm of the beginning of chaos, and echoed with the eternal golden spirit hidden in the star core gold. Li Mu focused his mind, guiding the Chaos Fire to penetrate into every detail of the Star Core Gold, slowly extracting the gold essence inside.

As the refining deepened, the golden lines on the surface of the Star Core Gold began to shine brightly, which was the ultimate expression of the gold essence after being stimulated. Li Mu's heart moved, using his deep understanding of the gold property, to guide the refined gold essence into the Immortal Demon Banner and merge it with it.

After receiving the essence of the Star Core Gold, the surface of the Immortal Demon Banner was gradually covered with a thin layer of golden luster, as if blessed by the power of the stars, becoming more sharp and unmatched, and faintly exuding an immortal breath. Li Mu could feel that the Immortal Demon Banner, no, it should be the Chaos Spirit Banner, was significantly improved at this moment.

That was not enough, Li Mu stretched out his hand and took out several high-level spiritual materials, including the seventh-level [Starry Dream Fir], the seventh-level [Tai Yan Golden Lotus], the eighth-level [Xuan Yin Dao Crystal], the seventh-level [Unstable Black Water], etc., which respectively represent the power of gold, wood, fire, water, earth, yin and yang, and the five elements. He intended to use them to supplement the five elements, yin and yang, and improve the basic properties of the Chaos Spirit Banner, so as to refine a Chaos Spirit Banner in the true sense.

As for the array of Chaos Spirit Banner, Li Mu referred to the array of Chaos Sealing Array, combined with his own understanding of refining equipment and array, and created the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Hunyuan Array. This array is based on Yin-Yang and supplemented by the Five Elements, which can maximize the potential of Chaos Spirit Banner and make it unimaginable in battle.

Li Mu began to arrange the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Hunyuan Array. First, he extracted the wood essence of [Star Dream Fir] and turned it into streams of emerald green spiritual power, which were injected into the Chaos Spirit Banner, representing the endless power of wood. Then, he took the fire of [Taiyan Golden Lotus], condensed it into a blazing flame spiritual pattern, and integrated it into the banner, symbolizing the power of fire to burn the sky and destroy the earth.

Then, Li Mu used the [Xuanyin Yin Crystal] as a guide to guide out a wisp of dark Yin power, which intertwined with the previous Yang fire, forming a balance of Yin and Yang, and [Unfixed Black Water] was transformed by him into a flowing water curtain, surrounding the Chaos Spirit Banner, representing the water's silent flexibility and change.

Finally, Li Mu carefully selected a piece of spiritual material containing the heavy earth from the remaining spiritual materials, integrated its essence into the Chaos Spirit Banner, and completed the Five Elements Array. So far, the instrument array in the Yin-Yang Five Elements Hunyuan Array has taken shape. On the Chaos Spirit Banner, Yin and Yang flow, the five elements are mutually generated and restrained, and a harmonious and powerful atmosphere permeates.

The instrument embryo then took shape in Li Mu's Chaos Fire. However, in order for the Chaos Spirit Banner to truly reach the state of chaos, a crucial step is still needed—the fusion of the power of chaos, the birth of many instrument patterns, the help of which condenses the instrument spirit, and then the birth of the instrument soul, and the separation of a wisp of soul to merge with it.

So, Li Mu closed his eyes and concentrated, the power of chaos in his body surged, and continuously injected into the embryo of the Chaos Spirit Banner, helping the device to condense the pattern.

With the integration of the power of chaos, the Chaos Spirit Banner began to emit a low hum, and the patterns on the banner seemed to be activated and began to gather. One after another, the patterns were lit up, and a strong and mysterious breath emanated from the banner.

The first pattern-the beginning of chaos, it symbolizes the birth of the Chaos Spirit Banner and also represents the awakening of the power of chaos. As this pattern condenses, a layer of light chaos mist begins to emerge on the surface of the Chaos Spirit Banner, as if it resonates with the power of chaos between heaven and earth.

The second pattern-the protection of chaos, when this pattern condenses, an invisible shield seems to be formed around the Chaos Spirit Banner, which can resist various attacks and erosions from the outside world. This shield is not only extremely tough, but also contains powerful chaos power, which can convert the enemy's attack into chaos energy, providing a continuous source of power for the Chaos Spirit Banner.

The third weapon pattern - Chaos Devouring slowly emerged. This weapon pattern is like a huge mouth, which can devour all the spiritual energy, energy and even the vitality of the enemy around it, and transform it into the power of the Chaos Spirit Banner itself. In battle, Chaos Devouring can keep the Chaos Spirit Banner strong and prevent the enemy from getting close.

The fourth weapon pattern - Chaos Transformation, this weapon pattern enables the Chaos Spirit Banner to have the ability to efficiently transform all absorbed energy. Whether it is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the spiritual power of magic weapons, the energy of the five elements, yin and yang, or even the most primitive chaotic energy between heaven and earth, the Chaos Spirit Banner can transform it into its own purest chaotic power through this weapon pattern, further enhancing its power.

The fifth weapon pattern - Chaos Domain, when this weapon pattern condenses, the space around the Chaos Spirit Banner begins to distort, as if surrounded by a sea of ​​chaos. In this chaotic domain, Li Mu can manipulate the power of chaos at will to form various means of attack and defense.

The sixth weapon pattern - Chaos Storm. After this weapon pattern condenses, the Chaos Spirit Banner can instantly burst out a powerful Chaos Storm, sweeping everything around it. The Chaos Storm contains endless Chaos Power, which can easily tear the enemy's defense and cause severe damage to it.

The seventh weapon pattern - Chaos Seal. This weapon pattern gives the Chaos Spirit Banner the power of sealing. Whether it is a powerful enemy, a precious treasure, or a dangerous ban, the Chaos Spirit Banner can seal it through this weapon pattern, making it temporarily ineffective.

…

As time passed, the weapon patterns on the surface of the Chaos Spirit Banner condensed one after another. In the later period, Li Mu's face gradually turned pale, and the Chaos Power in his body began to become exhausted. However, he did not stop, because he knew that this was the critical moment for the Chaos Spirit Banner to transform. Once he gave up, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

When the 32nd weapon pattern - Chaos Reincarnation was about to condense, the entire space seemed to be still.

The power of chaos in Li Mu's body was almost exhausted, but his eyes were extremely firm. He gritted his teeth, gathered the last bit of power of chaos in his palm, and then slapped the Chaos Spirit Banner.

As this palm fell, the light on the surface of the Chaos Spirit Banner suddenly became brighter, and the 32nd instrument pattern - Chaos Reincarnation, slowly condensed out. This instrument pattern seemed to contain the truth of heaven and earth, flowing with the endless power of chaos, giving people an illusion that the long river of time was flowing backwards and all things were reincarnated endlessly.

When the Chaos Reincarnation was completely condensed, an unprecedented powerful aura emanated from it, and the entire treasure house space trembled.

The Painting World Treasure House - Instrument Spirit, Five-Colored Dragon, and Azure Dragon - Qinglin were all attracted by this violent fluctuation and appeared to watch Li Mu refine the weapon.

Looking at the Chaos Spirit Banner in front of him, Li Mu's eyes flashed with an excitement that was difficult to conceal, knowing that the Chaos Spirit Banner had truly reached the peak of the Chaos Realm and became a treasure that was enough to shock the entire eighth-level treasure.

However, just when Li Mu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a strong vibration suddenly came from the Chaos Spirit Banner, and then an illusory figure emerged from the Chaos Spirit Banner. This was the soul condensed by the Chaos Spirit Banner.

This soul shadow looked somewhat similar to Li Mu, and exuded a strong chaotic aura.

Li Mu hurriedly took out two bottles of elixir from the Tianxuan Ring, poured out two "Jade Dew Pills" to restore his true essence, quickly replenished his true essence that was almost exhausted due to drawing talismans, and then poured out two "Taixuan Qingshen Pills" and swallowed the pills without hesitation. The almost exhausted soul was washed by a clear spring and quickly recovered.

"Thank you, Master, for creating me. From now on, I am the soul of the Chaos Spirit Banner. I am willing to advance and retreat with the Master, and live and die together." The shadow of the soul of the Chaos Spirit Banner bowed slightly to Li Mu, with endless gratitude and spiritual thanks.

As soon as the voice fell, the shadow of the weapon soul fell into the Chaos Spirit Banner and flew into Li Mu's hands.

Li Mu smiled slightly with satisfaction, stretched out his hand to take the Chaos Spirit Banner, felt the powerful power and pulse of the weapon soul contained in it, and an unprecedented sense of satisfaction surged on his face. Under the innate magical power-the other spirits, the powerful attributes of the Chaos Spirit Banner were clearly presented in his eyes.

Li Mu even thought of refining it into a life-long weapon. At this moment, a powerful will of the Heavenly Dao seemed to feel the transformation of the Chaos Spirit Banner, and an invisible pressure fell from the sky and locked the space of the treasure house.

"It seems that the birth of the Chaos Spirit Banner has attracted the attention of the Heavenly Dao, and the weapon calamity is inevitable." Li Mu's eyes were solemn, but he was not afraid. Only after experiencing the baptism of the weapon calamity can the Chaos Spirit Banner truly consolidate its current rank and become a true treasure.

Seeing this, Mingyue, the Five-Colored Dragon, and the Azure Dragon-Qinglin also looked solemn. They all sensed the arrival of the will of heaven and earth. They were ready to assist Li Mu in dealing with the upcoming crisis at any time.

"Don't worry, I will take care of it." Li Mu smiled at the three 'people', and as soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared in the Painting World Treasure House, along with the Chaos Spirit Banner.

Not long after, Li Mu appeared at the Tribulation Platform in the back mountain of the Qixuan Sect. The Tribulation Platform was specially used to deal with thunder tribulations and weapon tribulations. There were powerful protective formations around it to minimize the impact of weapon tribulations on the surrounding environment.

In order to avoid attracting the attention of other people in the sect, Li Mu casually played a set of formations and activated the psychedelic protective formation to cover the Tribulation Platform.

The Tribulation Platform was soon covered by a huge fog, and it was pitch dark. At the same time, the weapon tribulation was also brewing above it, with dark clouds, thunder roaring, and the sky and earth changing color. (End of this chapter)
