Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Li Mu pushed the cart back and met old man Zhang on the road. At this time, he was harvesting spiritual rice in the spiritual field. His upper body was bare, revealing a lean, dark, wrinkled old man's body, dripping with sweat.

"Old man Zhang, you're busy! Do you want to hire me?" Li Mu greeted Old Man Zhang with a smile and joked.

"Forget it! The old man suffered a heavy loss due to the insect pests this time. Where did he get the spiritual stone to hire you!" Old Man Zhang raised his head and glanced at Li Mu with a sad look on his face.

"Did you go to collect food? Did you buy so many things? Is your spiritual field not infested by insects?" Old Man Zhang looked at the things on the cart and asked strangely.

"I suffered it too, but the impact wasn't that big." Li Mu explained awkwardly.

"You're so lucky! I'll be in trouble. I might not be able to stay in Qing'an Town any longer." Old Man Zhang glanced at Li Mu enviously and said resentfully.

…

Li Mu opened his mouth, not knowing how to comfort him. He was too busy and forgot to tell Mr. Zhang about the discovery of the aphids. This was a serious matter and I felt sorry for him.

"Mr. Zhang, where are you going?" Li Mu sighed and asked with concern.

"I have been cultivating immortality for decades, but in the end it was all in vain. Now I accept my fate! I plan to return to my roots and retire in the mortal world!" Old Man Zhang looked nostalgic, full of nostalgia.

After pausing for a moment, Old Man Zhang looked at Li Mu and asked, "After I pay this year's rent, I plan to ask Qingxuan Sect to return the leased land. Do you want my spiritual land? Haven't you always envied me?" You are so skilled in the art of summoning wind and rain! As long as you rent this spiritual field for me, I will teach you the art of summoning wind and rain to you!"

The Qingxuan Sect's spiritual field cannot be returned just as it wants. It must find a lessee, sign a contract and bear the subsequent rent, and ensure the stable income of the sect's land. Only then can the rent be returned safely. Otherwise, the rent must be paid two or three times. Rent a fine before you can exit.

Now, due to insect infestation, most Lingzhifu have suffered heavy losses and are unwilling to continue renting Zongtian. Old man Zhang wants to retire calmly and still lacks a successor. Li Mu, his neighbor, is undoubtedly the best candidate.

After hearing Old Man Zhang's suggestion, Li Mu was immediately moved.

There is a golden finger panel that can monitor the status of spiritual plants at any time. Li Mu is not afraid of losing spiritual stones by farming, but he is worried that there is not enough spiritual plants!

Now it's good, Cuiling Fruit and Wind Spirit Grass can be planted.

Seeing Li Mu's delay in responding, Old Man Zhang immediately became anxious: "Boy Zhao, tell me what conditions you want, so don't say anything!"

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was calling the original owner, and said quickly: "No problem, I will rent your spiritual field, there are no additional conditions."

"Thank you so much. You have helped me a lot." Old Man Zhang was overjoyed and thanked Li Mu gratefully.

"That's it, it's settled. I'll tidy up the spiritual field and pay the rent tomorrow afternoon. You come with me and go through the formalities?" Old Man Zhang looked at Li Mu and couldn't wait to finalize this matter, lest he Something unexpected happened.

"Okay! Whenever you are free, just call me!" Li Mu smiled and nodded happily.

After chatting for a while, Li Mu pushed the cart back to the yard. He couldn't wait to check the Xuan-level technique.

Taking out the Finger Snap Technique book, Li Mu took a pair of scissors, cut open the interlayer of the last page, and slowly took out the contents, which was a worn, blood-stained yellow paper. The writing on the paper was still clear. .

[God Tempering Jue (Remnant)]

[Grade: Xuan level top grade. 】

[Characteristics: Tempering the soul and strengthening the consciousness]

[The first three levels of the God Tempering Jue, the beginning of practice can condense the soul and temper the consciousness. 】

The innate magical power of identifying all spirits took effect. Li Mu happily looked at the prompts in the virtual light screen, quickly spread out the yellow paper, and recorded the content of the tempering skills.

I picked up a spiritual consciousness cultivation technique. Although it only has the first three levels, spiritual consciousness is the dominant ability that only monks in the foundation-building realm can master. Although monks in the Qi refining stage also have spiritual consciousness, it is very weak and mainly focuses on condensing spiritual energy. Power, mana, true energy, and spiritual consciousness skills are extremely rare, and no Qi refining monk has the energy to cultivate spiritual consciousness.

However, Li Mu will not miss this opportunity. The benefits of strengthening and improving his spiritual consciousness are very obvious. Firstly, it can increase the power and distance of spells. Secondly, it can help to refine weapons and talismans and improve various arts. Thirdly, You can use your spiritual consciousness to detect the enemy..., there are many benefits, and there are countless benefits.

"The heart and breath depend on each other, hold on to the origin, concentrate on tranquility, and unite the heart and Qi. If the body does not move, the day will refine the essence, if the mind does not move, the day will refine the energy, if the mind does not move, the day will refine the spirit,...,"

Li Mu silently memorized the key points of the cultivation of the Tempering God Art, walked into the training room, sat cross-legged, and focused on practicing according to the instructions of the God Tempering Art.

…

Time flies, day and night pass.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao! Are you at home?" Old Man Zhang called from outside the yard.

"It's coming, it's coming, Mr. Zhang, wait a moment, it's coming soon!" Li Mu responded and trotted over to open the door.

The courtyard door opened, revealing the face of a handsome young man with a mature temperament.

"Brother Zhao, you are getting more energetic. Hey! No, why are you at the fifth level of Qi refining?" Old Man Zhang greeted Li Mu with a smile. He felt the spiritual pressure emanating from his body up close. He let out a startled sigh and asked in confusion. .

"Hehe! I went to collect medicine with others a few days ago. I was lucky enough to pick up a red spiritual fruit. After eating it, my cultivation level improved. Didn't you notice it yesterday?" Li Mu chuckled and told the reason for the early numbering.

"Yesterday, I was busy cutting spiritual rice and didn't pay attention. Brother Zhao is really lucky! I saved ten years of hard work. What does the red spiritual fruit look like? Where did you pick it up? Isn't it protected by monsters?" Old Man Zhang was envious and looked at it. Li Mu nervously asked a series of questions.

"How could there be no monsters? The two monsters fought fiercely for the spirit fruit. I took advantage of them when they were not prepared. I picked one and ran away. The spirit fruit was the size of a baby's fist and was bright red. It was in the Valley of Fallen Souls. Nearby!" Li Mu explained with a feigned fear.

"You actually went to Luohun Valley and risked your life?" Old Man Zhang's expression changed slightly and he asked in shock.

When you hear the name of Luohun Valley, you know how dangerous it is. It is located in a valley thirty miles east of Qing'an Town, between two spiritual mountains. It is shrouded in thick fog all year round, and a high-level spiritual vein may be nurtured in it. , there are often many rare elixirs growing there, and there are also a large number of first- and second-level monsters growing there.

The reason why Qing'an Town has gathered many casual cultivators and is valued by Qingxuan Sect is because of the rich elixirs, monsters, and abundant cultivation resources.

There are often hunting cultivators and medicinal collectors who enter the Valley of Lost Souls to collect elixirs and hunt monsters. Similarly, many monks bury their bodies and souls in this valley. Over time, the valley has become the terrifying place of Lost Soul Valley. call.

"I'm so poor that I have no choice! If I don't go into the mountains to collect some elixirs to sell, how can I afford the sect's rent?" Li Mu smiled bitterly and explained.

Hearing this, Old Man Zhang immediately lost interest in continuing this topic and sighed heavily. He had already decided to give up cultivating immortality. Why couldn't he let go of this opportunity when he encountered it?

"Brother Zhao, I'm ready. Let's go through the sublease procedures for Zongtian!" Old Man Zhang looked at Li Mu and said imploringly.

Li Mu nodded, locked the courtyard door, and helped Old Man Zhang push Lingmi's cart toward Qing'an Town.
