Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Qingshui Town, inside the courtyard of Qingxuanzong’s residence

"Senior Brother Nangong, this is my discipleship order. I have been ordered to come to Qingshui Town to serve as the manager of the Spiritual Planting Department!" Li Mu handed the discipleship order to Nangong Hong, who had sword-browed eyes and starry eyes in front of him and had an extraordinary momentum.

Nangong Hongmo is about twenty-four or five years old, but he has reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining. He is probably only one Foundation Establishment Pill away from Foundation Establishment.

Li Mu looked at Nangong Hong and couldn't help but admire this 'proud man of heaven'. If he didn't have the golden finger of proficiency in panels, he wouldn't be worthy of carrying his shoes.

Nangong Hong accepted the disciple order, looked at it with his spiritual consciousness, looked at Li Mu and said with a smile: "It turns out that the new manager of the Spiritual Planting Department is you, Junior Brother Zhao! You came just in time, in a few days it will be time to pay the tenant rent! I am just here I don’t know what to do!”

After verifying Li Mu's identity information, Nangong Hong returned the disciple order to Li Mu.

"That's true. That's why Senior Brother Guo sent me down!" Li Mu accepted the disciple's order, put it into his storage bag, and answered with a smile.

"Well! Don't be in a hurry about Lingzhi Division! Junior brother came here from Gangyang City? Are you exhausted? Why don't you arrange a dinner for junior brother to catch the wind and wash away the dust, and then clean up a room for junior brother to rest?" Nangong Hiroshi greeted warmly.

"Senior Brother Nangong, you're welcome. I came from Qing'an Town. I have been living in Qing'an Town, which is not far from Qingshui Town. If possible, I will settle the accommodation myself! I don't plan to live in the hospital!" Li Mu smiled and declined Nangong Hong's proposal.

"Uh! Junior brother, I don't know. Qingshui Town is occasionally invaded by monsters. It is not as stable as Qing'an Town. The sect has a large protective array in the courtyard to resist second-level monsters. If you live outside, there is no such thing. It's safe then!" Nangong Hong looked at Li Mu and reminded him kindly.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Nangong, for your advice. However, I have my own plans and will no longer be stationed in the hospital!" Li Mu said with a firm smile.

Nangong Hong glanced at Li Mu in surprise. He couldn't figure out what junior brother Zhao, who was only at the early stage of the seventh level of Qi refining, had to rely on. He didn't even stay in the hospital with the sect's protective formation, so he had to choose another place to stay.

"Okay! Junior brother is so insistent that I won't force you. If you change your mind, just tell me." Nangong Hong looked at Li Mu and agreed.

"Well! Senior Brother Nangong, can you hand over to me the affairs of the Spiritual Planting Department of Qingshui Town? When I just came here, I took a look at the spiritual planting situation in Qingshui Town and found that there are still many open spaces for cultivating spiritual fields. Why did I leave it alone? Abandoned?" Li Mu nodded with a smile and asked straight to the point.

Nangong Hong was startled for a moment. He didn't expect that this junior fellow student was still a very ambitious person and would care about his own responsibilities as soon as he came up.

"Junior Brother Zhao, you didn't know some things when you first came to Qingshui Town. Those wastelands had to be abandoned as a last resort. Qingshui Town is close to the Taimo River. Once the flood season comes, the water level of the Taimo River will rise sharply, and those wastelands will be flooded by the river. Submerged, therefore, these places cannot be cultivated into spiritual fields and planted with spiritual plants!" Nangong Hong looked at Li Mu and introduced.

After a pause, Nangong Hong continued: "Secondly, Qingshui Town is close to Lingtian Peak. This peak contains a second-level spiritual vein and above, various kinds of elixirs, and rich spiritual mineral resources. The sect's handyman disciples, Qingshui Town's scattered Cultivation,..., all obtain cultivation resources in other ways, and few people are willing to be spiritual cultivators. Therefore, due to lack of manpower, these abandoned fields will definitely not be able to be cultivated into spiritual fields."

"Thirdly, various monsters descended from the mountain, crossed the river to attack the city, and destroyed the spiritual fields. There were also various pest problems, which made fewer and fewer people willing to serve as spiritual husbands."

"Junior brother, you have a very heavy responsibility as the manager of the Lingzhi Department!" At the end of the sentence, Nangong Hong looked at Li Mu with deep meaning and sighed.

…

If he had known that Qingshui Town would be a trap, Li Mu was already mentally prepared.

Anyone else would definitely be concerned about the poor affairs of the Spiritual Planting Department in Qingshui Town, but for Li Mu, this is completely a good thing.

There are so many places suitable for cultivating spiritual fields that have been abandoned. Next, these places can be sorted out. Li Mu is ready to pick a place and cultivate a large area of ​​spiritual fields, hundreds or even a thousand acres. The spiritual fields will be connected into a large area to facilitate his care.

"Yes! I understand!" Li Mu nodded, looked at Nangong Hong and went straight to the topic: "Brother Nangong, can you show me the Lingzhi Division's account books, sect field books, and collection books."

"Of course, no problem. These are all the account books of Lingzhi Division. I will hand them over to you now." Nangong Hong glanced at Li Mu in surprise, quickly took out a few account books from the storage bag, and handed them to Li Mu as if to avoid trouble.

After taking the account book, Li Mu immediately looked through it carefully, looking for ten lines at a glance to understand the affairs of the Lingzhi Department and at the same time look for a suitable place to open up wasteland.

"Senior Brother Nangong, if nothing happens, I'll leave first. I plan to go to Lingtian in Qingshui Town for a walk and check the accounts." Li Mu looked at Nangong Hong and signaled.

"Junior Brother Zhao is such a diligent person! Do you want me to accompany you?" Nangong Hong was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Mu and praised with a smile.

"No need! I can do it by myself. If I need your help, I'll ask you for help!" Li Mu smiled casually and declined.

"Okay!" Nangong Hong smiled, nodded, and watched.

Soon, Li Mu turned around and left the sect's resident compound. Taking the Lingtian account book and map, he wandered alone in the Lingtian near Qingshui Town, looking for a place suitable for him to cultivate the Lingtian.

The terrain of Xiaoliang Mountain is steep, and Li Mu worked hard to cultivate eleven acres of spiritual land, which he had reached the limit.

Qingshui Town is different. It is close to the Taimo River and backed by the large mountain range of Lingtian Mountain. It has many flat valleys, suitable for reclamation, with dozens or hundreds of acres of spiritual fields.

"It won't work here. If it's the flood season, the Taimo River water level will rise and this place will be submerged!"

"This spiritual field is not bad, we can cultivate about fifty acres, eh! This is the spiritual field leased by the King's Ji Zhuji family,..."

"Hey! This spiritual field is not bad. We have set up a spirit-guiding array. The spirit-gathering array has the potential to be promoted to a mid-level spiritual field. Unfortunately, we can't cultivate a hundred acres..., remember it first."

…

Li Mu's sword flew around Qingshui Town, looking for a place suitable for him to cultivate spiritual fields.

Time flies, and Li Mu flies farther and farther.

Finally, Li Mu stopped flying with his sword, suspended in the air, and discovered a spiritual valley seven or eight miles away from Qingshui Town, which was extremely suitable for cultivating spiritual fields.

Linggu is formed by the gathering of two peaks, a waterfall sloping down, white waves rolling, surging, and rumbling in the valley.

The sun shines on the turbulent waterfall, and the water mist creates a colorful rainbow. The majestic cliffs are covered with towering giant trees and dense forests.

The scenery is beautiful with gushing waterfalls, secluded green pools, meandering rivers, and cascading mountains.

There is a large area of ​​weeds and shrubs growing on the edge of Qingtan. The terrain is quite flat and can be cultivated into a hundred acres of spiritual land.

What makes Li Mu even more happy is that through the pulse detection technique, he discovered that this valley contains a spiritual vein, so many elixirs grow in the valley.

In a short time, Li Mu discovered a lot of elixirs, such as the century-old Ice Mist Herb, Purple Salvia, Golden Pearl Grass, Agapanthus... there are many kinds of elixirs. This valley is filled with spiritual energy, accompanied by a green pool, and There is also a waterfall with excellent environment.

Li Mu's eyes were shining, and he was already thinking about what kind of magic circle to arrange, and how to arrange the magic circle to cover this valley and turn it into a place exclusive to him.
