Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

The spiritual energy of the Five Elements Spirit Palace surged, pouring into the alchemy room continuously. In the center of the alchemy room, the starlight pattern on the outside of the starlight alchemy furnace, the starlight of the twenty-eight constellations dropped like a waterfall, madly absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth. The spiritual energy of the entire Five Elements Spiritual Mountain began to vibrate violently, and a spiritual vortex formed above the alchemy room. The spiritual energy became thick and liquid, gathering in the alchemy room.

Li Mu pinched the Dan Jue with his hands, and the chaotic true energy burst out from his fingertips.

The sparks in the Xinghui Alchemy Furnace suddenly changed color, the Nine Heavens Breath Soil was melted into a dark yellow mist, and the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus extracted a drop of lush green essence, and began to refine the first step of the Taoist elixir: refining spiritual medicine. Rare spiritual medicines such as the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus, and the Moonlight Ice Marrow were placed one by one in the center of the alchemy furnace.

Under the tempering of the power of the sparks, the Nine Heavens Xirang emits a thick dark yellow halo, carrying the chaotic power of the beginning of heaven and earth; the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus is suspended in the void, and the lotus leaves tremble slightly and turn into nine green streams of light, each of which is wrapped in vast vitality, like a blue dragon cruising in the galaxy; the Moonlight Ice Marrow condenses into the shadow of a bright moon, with cold light flowing.

Li Mu's expression was solemn. His ten fingers flew and he formed seals. The spiritual energy in the star array turned into thousands of silver threads, which were entwined on the spiritual medicine. As the array patterns flickered, the chaotic energy of the Nine Heavens Xirang was stripped of impurities layer by layer by the star light beams. The vitality essence of the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus was tempered into pure green marrow in the spiritual fire, and the cold power of the Moonlight Ice Marrow was compressed into an Ice Soul Pearl. The three medicinal essences gradually condensed, dazzling like the intersection of galaxies.

Soon, the alchemy entered the second step: melting the medicine liquid

The refined medicinal essence slowly gathered under the traction of the array pattern, turning into a chaotic nebula-like spiritual liquid. Li Mu's eyes glowed with silver light, and his fingertips outlined mysterious Taoist patterns, and star tracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the spiritual liquid. Chaos Qi, Jade Marrow, and Ice Soul blended with each other, sometimes collapsing like a nebula, and sometimes surging like the Milky Way. The vast vitality and the power of chaos gradually harmonized in the collision.

As the spiritual liquid rotated, it actually evolved into a strange phenomenon of the sun and the moon shining together - the chaotic energy condensed into a dark golden star core, the green marrow turned into a blue star ring surrounding the star core, and the icy soul turned into silver dots of light dotted in between.

Cold sweat oozed from Li Mu's forehead, and his spiritual thoughts turned into billions of silk threads, forcibly locking the violent medicinal properties into the balance of the star trajectory.

The elixir is successfully refined, and the third step begins: forming the elixir.

When the star phenomenon in the Xinghui Alchemy Furnace became stable, Li Mu suddenly bit his fingertips, and a drop of blood containing the essence of chaos fell into the spiritual liquid, instantly arousing thousands of starlights. The spiritual liquid collapsed rapidly in the blood light and turned into a glass-like pill embryo, in which you can see the stars flowing and the moon floating. The surface of the pill embryo is covered with fine cracks, and in each crack flows the glow of chaos and vitality.

Li Mu pressed his hands lightly, and the Zhoutian Star Array suddenly reversed. The shadows of three hundred and sixty stars were projected onto the pill embryo. The cracks gradually closed up under the infusion of star power, and finally condensed into a round and flawless star jade bead. The rotation of the sun and the moon could be vaguely seen inside the bead.

Alchemy enters the fourth step: Containing the elixir spirit

The pill embryo was suspended in the void, and Li Mu summoned his life-saving magic weapon, the "Chaos Zhenyuan Disk". As it turned, the waterfall in the Painting World Treasure House flowed back into a galaxy, the spiritual bamboo forest trembled and released a green rain of light, and the starry wood forest even projected materialized star chains. A huge amount of power of time condensed, and vast spiritual power was injected into the pill embryo.

After seven days and seven nights, a faint heartbeat sounded from inside the pill embryo. Li Mu's eyes brightened, and a wisp of chaotic Dao fire condensed on his fingertips. The Dao fire turned into a swimming dragon and drilled into the pill embryo, igniting a little spiritual light at its core - the spiritual light was like a firefly at first, but after swallowing the starlight, it suddenly grew into a brilliant sun, and Dao patterns of the sun and the moon intertwined appeared on the surface of the pill embryo.

Step 5: Resonance of Creation

As the spiritual light in the pill embryo grew stronger and stronger, the real challenge had just begun. Li Mu closed his eyes and concentrated, using himself as a bridge to connect heaven and earth, trying to connect the spiritual light in the pill embryo with the power of creation between heaven and earth.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and an inexplicable fluctuation filled the alchemy room, a strange phenomenon caused by the resonance between the creation of heaven and earth and the elixir embryo in the elixir furnace. The intertwined Dao patterns of the sun and the moon on the surface of the elixir embryo became more and more brilliant, and strands of the power of creation continued to merge.

Finally, at a certain moment, the spiritual light in the pill embryo suddenly burst out, turning into a brilliant beam of light that shot straight into the sky. The beam of light contained the chaos and vitality of the beginning of the world, as well as the mystery of the growth of all things.

As the resonance of creation was achieved, the Dan embryo began to undergo earth-shaking changes, and more delicate lines began to emerge on its surface. These lines were like veins between heaven and earth, connecting the Dan embryo with the entire heaven and earth. At the core of the Dan embryo, a hazy fetal shadow gradually appeared, which was the prototype of the Dan embryo.

The sixth step of making the elixir: the elixir embryo is initially formed

The elixir embryo appeared, and the Creation Dao Pill had taken shape. Li Mu made further efforts, pinched the elixir formula with his hands, injected the Chaos Zhenyuan, and continued to nourish it, using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to help it grow.

I saw the elixir embryo slowly rotating in the Starlight Alchemy Furnace. Every rotation was accompanied by a trace of spiritual power incorporating into it, making it more solid.

As time goes by, the elixir embryo gradually stabilizes, and the patterns on its surface become clearer. It is about to mature into a elixir, which is also a key step in refining the Creation Dao Elixir.

Step 7: Dan patterns are formed, and the surface of the Dan embryo begins to emit a brighter light. These Dan patterns are like the laws of heaven and earth, with the same life span as heaven and earth, and the same brilliance as the sun and the moon.

At this time, the spiritual light within the elixir had condensed to the extreme, as if it would burst out at any time.

Just as Li Mu was preparing to welcome the joy of the Creation Pill being successfully refined, an inexplicable pressure suddenly emerged between heaven and earth, and the will of heaven and earth locked onto the Creation Pill, which had not yet left the alchemy furnace.

Li Mu smiled slightly, clasped his hands together, and sent out a wave of chaotic true energy in all directions. Immediately, the formation devices hidden around the alchemy room were activated, the formation pattern of the "Tian Yan Escape Formation" lit up, and the formation power spread out.

In an instant, waves of time and space ripples appeared in the alchemy room, and then spread to the treasure house in the painting world. Soon, the will of heaven and earth that had originally locked onto the Creation Pill suddenly disappeared, and the threat of the pill calamity dissipated.

"open!"

Li Mu's mind moved, and the lid of the Starlight Alchemy Furnace opened. An extremely rich elixir fragrance instantly filled the entire alchemy room. The fragrance carried the antiquity of chaos and the vigor of life, as if it could wash away all the dust in people's hearts and invigorate their souls.

Li Mu made a move with his hand, and a round, silver-colored Dao Pill of Creation slowly flew out of the furnace and landed on his palm.

The Dao Dan of Creation, which was still emitting residual heat, was as warm and smooth as jade, and faintly exuded an aura of connecting heaven and earth and embracing all things, as if it itself was a microcosm of heaven and earth, containing endless mysteries and powers.

Under the innate supernatural power - identifying all spirits, the properties of the Creation Pill appeared clearly in Li Mu's eyes.

Looking at the powerful properties of the Creation Dao Pill, Li Mu's face revealed an unconcealable smile. The last Dao Pill for smelting the Seven Absolute Dao Pills has been refined. Next, he only needs to combine the Samsara Dao Pill, the Five Elements Dao Pill, the Taiyi Dao Pill, the Wuji Dao Pill, the Resurrection Dao Pill, a total of six seventh-level Dao Pills, into one, and he can make the Seven Absolute Dao Pill.

Li Mu suppressed his excitement, took out a bottle of pills from the Tianxuan Ring, solemnly put away the Creation Pill, and prepared to recover first, then melt the six pills and refine the Seven Absolute Pills.

Li Mu took out two pill bottles from the Tianxuan Ring, poured out a Five Elements Taoist Pill and a Tianling Pill, swallowed them, and then silently practiced the Chaos Taoist Scripture and the Nebula Visualization Method to recover the huge consumption of his soul and true energy brought about by refining pills during this period of time.

As the chaotic true energy slowly flowed in his body, the medicinal power of the elixir was dissolved, and Li Mu's true energy was greatly restored. The feeling of fatigue quickly dissipated, and was replaced by an unprecedented vitality and fullness. The powerful medicinal power of the Five Elements Taoist Pill continued to flow in his body, and the Tianling Pill was like a trickle, nourishing his soul.

About half a month later, Li Mu recovered to his peak state, his chaotic body was revealed, and a faint chaotic halo emanated from his body, exuding endless power and mystery. His eyes were as deep as the abyss, as if he could see through the essence of all things in the world.

At this moment, Li Mu not only had abundant true energy, but his soul had also reached an unprecedentedly powerful state. His entire temperament had undergone a drastic change, like an ancient god walking out of chaos.

The starlight alchemy furnace still stood quietly in front of him, emitting rich star power. Li Mu waved his hand and took out six pill bottles from the Tianxuan Ring. They were the Samsara Dao Pill, the Five Elements Dao Pill, the Taiyi Dao Pill, the Wuji Dao Pill, the Reincarnation Dao Pill, and the Creation Dao Pill that had just been refined.

With a crisp "pop" sound, the lid of the pill bottle opened automatically, and six Taoist pills flew out, hovering around Li Mu and gently rotating. Each one emitted a unique light, containing its own laws and mysteries. The Samsara Taoist Pill turned into a blood moon hanging in the sky, the Five Elements Taoist Pill condensed the Five Mountains to suppress the earth, the Taiyi Taoist Pill circulated innate runes, the Wuji Taoist Pill performed a chaos vortex, the Reincarnation Taoist Pill showed thousands of souls bowing in worship, and the Creation Taoist Pill showed the Taoist meaning of creation - six completely different Taoist rhymes.

The six extremely spiritual Dao Dan, as if they had sensed the impending fate of smelting, began to tremble violently, emitting a more dazzling light, as if they wanted to break free from Li Mu's control and flee into the sky.

"Hmph, you want to escape? Get in!" Li Mu snorted coldly, his eyes emitting chaotic light, his spiritual thoughts surged out like a tide, transforming into countless chains, tightly wrapping around each Dao Pill, black Dao patterns appeared on his right palm, and chaotic fire flew out, transforming into six fire dragons, each holding a Dao Pill in its mouth, and crashed into the Star Furnace.

The moment the furnace lid closed, the spirits of the six Daodan felt an unprecedented crisis, and the light they emitted became even brighter, trying to make a final struggle.

"Behave yourself!" Li Mu shouted angrily, injecting chaotic true energy into his body continuously.

In the Xinghui alchemy furnace, the fire of chaos burned fiercely. The six Dao Dans each occupied one side, and the Dao rhymes intertwined with each other, but repelled each other. The Samsara Dao Dan turned into a blood moon, hanging on the top of the furnace, emitting the power of Samsara; the Five Elements Dao Dan condensed into five virtual mountains, suppressing the bottom of the furnace; the Taiyi Dao Dan turned into innate runes, flowing endlessly; the Wuji Dao Dan evolved into a chaos vortex, swallowing everything; the Resurrection Dao Dan showed the virtual images of thousands of souls, wailing endlessly; the Creation Dao Dan manifested a miniature world, full of vitality.

Six completely different Dao rhymes collided violently in the furnace, and the walls of the Xinghui Alchemy Furnace made a humming sound as if they could not bear the heavy load, as if they would collapse at any time. Li Mu looked solemn, and he pinched his hands together, and the Chaos True Essence poured into the furnace like a tide, forcibly suppressing the riot of the six pills.

Li Mu's spiritual thoughts were like an invisible giant net, constantly monitoring all changes in the furnace. He used all his strength to perform alchemy techniques and refine the six elixirs according to the smelting method of the 'Seven Absolute Elixir Recipe'.

The Samsara Pill was the first to be broken by the Chaos Fire. The phantom of the blood moon exploded and turned into a long river of time. Li Mu's consciousness was drawn into it. In an instant, he experienced thousands of reincarnations. He bit his tongue, used his essence and blood as a guide, and forcibly broke free from the reincarnation. He compressed the long river of time into a blood rune and hit it into the core of the furnace.

"The cycle of reincarnation is set, the five elements are back!"

The Five Elements Dao Dan followed closely behind, and the shadows of the five mountains shattered and transformed into the original power of the five elements.

Li Mu formed seals with his hands, and the power of the five elements gradually merged into a ball of five-colored spiritual liquid under the smelting of the chaos fire, interweaving with the blood-colored runes.

Taiyi Rune, Innate Dao Rhyme

The innate rune transformed by Taiyi Daodan suddenly rioted, trying to break free from the restraints of the Chaos Fire. Li Mu snorted coldly, and the Chaos Dao pattern appeared between his eyebrows. His consciousness turned into a sharp sword and chopped the rune into pieces. The broken rune reassembled in the furnace and turned into an innate Dao fetus, which merged with the five-color spiritual liquid.

The infinite evolution, all things return to oneness

The vortex of the Wuji Daodan suddenly expanded, trying to devour the power of other Daodan. Li Mu's eyes shot out chaotic divine light, and he pressed his hands in the air. The chaotic fire turned into a giant net, locking the vortex tightly. The vortex gradually collapsed under the pressure of the giant net, and finally condensed into a pill seed, falling into the heart of the furnace.

Resurrection of the soul, reversal of life and death

The phantoms of the Ten Thousand Souls that emerged from the Resurrection Pill let out a shrill wail, trying to disturb Li Mu's mind. Li Mu bit his fingertips, used his blood essence as ink, and wrote the Seven Absolutes Covenant in the void. The Ten Thousand Souls gradually calmed down under the suppression of the Covenant Domain, turned into strands of soul power, and merged into the Seven Absolutes Pill seeds in the furnace core.

The source of all things

The miniature world manifested by the Dao Dan of Creation suddenly exploded, trying to break the Xinghui Alchemy Furnace. Li Mu formed seals with his hands, and the Chaos True Essence turned into a fire dragon, swallowing the virtual image of the world in one gulp. The fire dragon circled in the furnace, and finally turned into a group of Creation Spiritual Patterns and merged with the Seven Absolute Pill Seeds. (End of this chapter)
