Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Liu Jian weighed for a moment and declined with a wry smile: "To be honest with you Daoist Li, I have a direct grandson who will learn the Five Elements and Eight Extremes Formation from me. If nothing unexpected happens, I plan to leave this inherited jade slip to him, so it is inconvenient to exchange it."

…

Li Mu frowned, not expecting that the old guy would use this reason to refuse.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, this matter is easy to solve. Lend me the inheritance jade slip of the Five Elements and Eight Extremes Formation for a look, and I will give you this jade slip of the Eighteen Dragon and Elephant Formation. However, my inheritance jade slip is worth a lot of money. You need to make up for me." Li Mu looked at Liu Jian and signaled.

"Fellow Daoist Li, are you serious about this?" Liu Jian was overjoyed. If this deal really happened, he would have gained a huge advantage in the inheritance of the 1st Form Technique.

"Of course it's true, can I change it now?" Li Mu smiled and handed over the jade slip of the Dragon Elephant Formation.

"Of course it's no problem. I don't know what Daoyou Li needs. I'll try my best to satisfy you." Liu Jian agreed happily and asked with concern.

"I don't have any shortage of spiritual stones for the time being, but I like some weird things. If Liu Daoyou has any, feel free to show them." In order to avoid Liu Jian becoming suspicious, Li Mu said casually.

Liu Jian nodded. If he could keep both formation inheritance jade slips, he would be very willing to make up the 'price difference'.

Immediately, Liu Jian handed his formation jade slip to Li Mu, and the two completed the exchange of the formation inheritance jade slip.

Li Mu got the inheritance jade slip and was the first family to put his spiritual consciousness into the jade slip and accept the inheritance of the five elements and eight poles formation jade slip.

The next moment, Li Mu's consciousness was awakened, and a large amount of formation diagrams, formation patterns, and formation knowledge related to the Five Elements Formation, the Ice Element Formation, the Eight-pole Magic Element Formation, and the Five Elements and Eight-Pole Formation poured into his mind.

Li Mu closed his eyes slightly and quickly digested the four formation diagrams, deduced the formation pattern, and simulated the formation method in his mind.

The Five Elements Formation is a basic magic formation. However, the more basic something is, the more extraordinary it is. This formation is very easy to integrate with other magic formations, and the same is true for the Five Elements and Eight Extremes Formation. On the basis of the Five Elements Formation, the changes of the Eight Extremes are added.

In addition, the foundation of the Five Elements Sword Formation is also related to the Five Elements Formation.

After learning this Five Elements Formation diagram, Li Mu's understanding of the Five Elements Sword Formation became deeper and deeper.

About a quarter of an hour passed, and Li Mu opened his eyes with a satisfied smile on his face. This trip was a good harvest. He came for the Ice Element Formation and learned a few more magic formations.

[Ding, you successfully accepted the inheritance of the "Five Elements and Eight Extremes Formation". You learned the Five Elements Formation, the Ice Element Formation, the Eight Extremes Fantasy Element Formation, and the Five Elements and Eight Extremes Formation. 】

Li Mu glanced at the character bar log and immediately saw a new prompt.

Looking at Master Liu Zhen across from him, his brows were furrowed. He was still immersed in the Jade Slip inheritance and might not be able to wake up for a while.

Li Mu smiled slightly, picked up the spiritual tea on the table, and drank while waiting. At the same time, he looked at the exquisite courtyard.

About half an hour later, Liu Jian woke up and looked at Li Mu sheepishly: "This Eighteen Dragon Elephant Formation is really amazing. It took me so long to learn a little bit about it, and I made Fellow Daoist Li wait for a long time!"

"As long as you are satisfied with it, Fellow Daoist Liu, I have also gained a lot. This is the Five Elements Jade Slip. Keep it, Fellow Daoist Liu." Li Mu handed the inherited jade slip back to Liu Jian.

"Fellow Daoist Li's inheritance of formations is much higher than my inheritance of Five Elements formations. I feel sorry for taking such advantage of you. It just so happens that I have collected a lot of rare things over the years. Take a look and see if you like any of them. Just pick two pieces!" Liu Jian accepted the inheritance jade slip with a face full of shame.

After speaking, Liu Jian took out a storage bag from his arms and poured a bunch of messy items in the bag onto the tea seat for Li Mu to choose from.

"Some of these spiritual objects were obtained by me from my adventures, some were paid by casual cultivators to set up formations, and some were purchased by casual cultivators while wandering around. Most of them have no idea of ​​their basic use... They have been stored for a long time. Fellow Daoist Li likes this kind of things, so you can choose whichever one you like. Pick it up." Liu Jian looked at Li Mu sheepishly and introduced.

"Well! You're welcome then!" Li Mu smiled and nodded, just saying something casually. He didn't expect that Master Liu was a real person and was willing to take out the treasure.

[Buddha's Light Wooden Fish refined from spiritual sandalwood, a first-level spiritual weapon, has the effect of meditating and exorcising evil spirits]

[The colorful clam beads attached to the dirt are second-level spiritual objects and one of the main materials for refining water-proof beads. 】

[The animal skin map marked with the ancient Xiudongfu ruins is a first-class spiritual object. The age of the leather does not match the time of the ruins marked on the map, and it is suspected of being fake. 】

…

Li Mu picked through dozens of historical artifacts and artifacts, and with his gift of identifying all spirits, their information appeared one by one in the character's virtual box.

They're all rubbish, and the best thing is just a second-order clam bead.

Li Mu looked blank, thinking that this old man could come up with something good! The result is a bunch of useless junk.

Picking up the animal skin map, Li Mu cheered up and finally found something good under the animal skin map.

[Yu Ling Bao Bracelet (Seal)]

[Grade: Sixth Grade Spiritual Treasure]

[Characteristics: Soul-controlling space (sealed), powerful recovery (sealed), accelerated growth (sealed)]

[Status: The host dies and the fetish becomes self-proclaimed. 】

[The sky boundary stone, the demon emperor's heart bone, and the natal spiritual treasure refined from the wishful stone. The spiritual treasure weapon spirit falls into a deep sleep when the host dies. The spiritual treasure seals itself and is re-refined using heavenly fire to awaken the treasure weapon spirit. 】

If it weren't for the character virtual panel, Li Mu would never have believed that the ancient bracelet covered with green patina in front of him was actually a sixth-level spiritual treasure, quietly hidden in the storage bag of an old casual cultivator. .

Li Mu was overjoyed. He couldn't imagine that such a beautiful thing could happen to him.

However, the conditions for awakening this spiritual treasure seem simple, but are very troublesome.

Heavenly fire!

Where can I get the fire from the sky? All Li Mu knew was that he had never heard of anything at the level of spiritual fire, strange fire, earth fire, and sky fire.

No matter, let’s get this treasure first.

Unknowingly, with his powerful talent of identifying all spirits, Li Mu has 'picked up' a lot of high-level spiritual objects, such as: Ling Yun Xuan Tortoise Armor, Thunder Talisman Book,..., which many low-level monks cannot distinguish. of high-level spiritual beings.

Li Mugang wanted to ask Master Liu for the Yulingbao bracelet.

Unexpectedly, Liu Jian spoke first and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Li, you have taken a fancy to this animal skin treasure map! This animal map records the cave ruins of an ancient monk. Unfortunately, I am too old and my legs and feet are inconvenient. , the desire to explore the secrets has faded, so I will give this picture to you!"

"Uh! Fellow Daoist Liu, you misunderstood! I have always liked peace and quiet. I usually plant some spiritual flowers and herbs, raise spiritual pets, and study formations. I don't like wandering around, and I am not interested in exploring ancient ruins." Li Mu He declined with a smile, and then, seemingly casually, he took out the green copper bracelet and the dusty colorful clam bead, and said with a smile: "Friend Liu, I'll just take these two spiritual objects!"

Hearing this, Liu Jian was slightly startled. He originally thought that Li Mu was interested in the treasure map, so he just took advantage of the situation and got rid of the object. Who would have expected that this kid was not moved, but instead took two pieces of garbage and stopped.

Could it be that he saw it?

Liu Jian looked at Li Mu suspiciously, but did not find any special signs. He was moved in his heart and said quickly: "Fellow Daoist Li, do you look down on the old man? These two items are definitely not worth the inheritance of dragon and elephant from fellow Taoist Liu. Shame on you!"

"Uh! Why don't you give me this animal map too! Can you?" In order to stop him, Li Mu simply took the animal skin map from Liu Jian's hand.

Liu Jian was stunned, and for a moment he was a little confused about Li Mu's intentions.

"What, Fellow Daoist Liu, do you still have any questions? Is our exchange fair?" Li Mu looked at Liu Jian nervously and asked.

"Okay! Let's change it like this. As long as Fellow Daoist Li is happy!" Liu Jian laughed and nodded happily. At this time, he could already see from Li Mu's expression that this kid was playing hard to get with him! It was obvious that he was interested in this animal skin treasure map, and his expression was extremely nervous.

"When I was young, I was at home all over the world. I often went to explore the ancient ruins of the Spirit Cave. In order to break the formation, I kept learning formations, and then I gradually became an formation master. During one of my expeditions, I discovered a thousand-year-old formation... ," Liu Jian began to talk to Li Mu endlessly about his adventure experiences in his youth and his encounters with some special formations.

Li Mu nodded from time to time and dealt with it absently.

At this time, Li Mu had no intention of staying any longer. He planned to find some time to go to Gangyang City and ask Shopkeeper Wang of Wanbao Pavilion, Spiritual Master Wei and others about the 'Sky Fire'.

After a moment, Li Mu said goodbye to Liu Jian, stood up with his sword, left Qingping Town and flew towards Qing'an Town as if he was running away. At the same time, he did not forget to take off the exquisite mask and restore his original appearance.

After a brief contact, Li Mu discovered that Master Liu was not a simple character. He looked very kind in appearance and temperament, and was a cheerful and talkative person. However, with his powerful spiritual intuition.

Li Mu felt vaguely uncomfortable, and his instinct told him not to continue to have contact with him.

Li Mu accidentally picked up a big leak, and Li Mu was very happy to do so. He immediately bid farewell to Liu Jian and left in a hurry.

Thinking about it, it is very difficult for a casual cultivator to live to the age of seventy, be in good health and enjoy life in peace. The casual cultivator who can live to this age is either an old goblin or a cowardly person.

This Master Liu was obviously the first type of person. The animal skin map obtained from him was difficult to tell whether it was genuine or not. However, with his innate magical power, Li Mu was very sure that it was a fake map and nothing worth remembering.

As Yujian flew out of Qingping Town, Li Mu threw away the animal skin map, not daring to have other ideas.

Liu's independent courtyard

Not long after Li Mu left the courtyard, a burly man in his forties with a full beard responded and hurriedly stepped into the courtyard.

"Boss, you came to me suddenly. What's wrong?" The burly man walked up to Liu Jian and asked curiously.

"Bait No. 7 has been sent out. Keep an eye on Pit No. 7 these days. He may take people to explore the pit at any time." Liu Jian quickly signaled.

"Uh! Boss, didn't you wash your hands in the golden basin? Why did the bait suddenly disappear! For a moment, where can I find help! The sixth, seventh, and fifteenth are all busy." The burly man looked unhappy. , said complainingly.

"Let you do some work. Why are you talking so much? Send me someone to keep an eye on you! If there is any situation, tell me immediately." Liu Jian's face darkened and he reprimanded angrily.

"Got it! I'll let the monkey keep an eye on it immediately." Seeing Liu Jian's rage, the burly man immediately calmed down and quickly made arrangements.

"Hmph, there's nothing else to do, go away!" Liu Jian snorted coldly and waved his hand angrily.

The rude man fled from the yard as if he had been granted amnesty.

Liu Jian looked at the formation jade slip in his hand, with a strange smile on his face, and suddenly laughed nervously: "The Eighteenth Formation of Dragon and Elephant, the formation inheritance of the foundation-building Xu family! In the past, I couldn't get it if I asked for it, but now That’s it! Hahaha.”

…

Qing'an Town, Tingyu Tower, reception room.

"Failed! Senior Foundation Establishment couldn't kill him even if he tried to kill him? How is this possible?" Wang Fengxie looked at Yan Ling and asked hysterically, unable to believe the result.

After learning that Tingyulou had dispatched foundation-building assassins to carry out the assassination, Wang Feng immediately came to Tingyulou to wait for the news. Unexpectedly, what he got was not the news that the assassination was successful, but saw with his own eyes the owner of Tingyulou bringing a man who had suffered a broken arm. The severely damaged Foundation Killer is back.

The assassination failed, and the foundation killers were seriously injured.

What kind of monster is this?

Was that handyman disciple he looked down upon before, a foundation-building master in disguise?

what to do!

What to do now?

If he knew that he paid for the murder, would he do it to himself?

Thinking of the terrible consequences, Wang Feng instantly collapsed emotionally. During this period, he was thinking about 'revenge' and thinking about pocketing the eleven acres of medium-grade spiritual land. Now, all his hopes were shattered.

A handyman disciple who was in the early stage of the seventh level of Qi refining, just stepped into the outer gate, and he couldn't even defeat the foundation-building monk?

"How could this happen, how could this happen,..."

Wang Feng murmured absently, unable to accept this fact for a moment.

With a sullen face, Yan Ling threw the twenty-odd spirit stones on the tea table, stared at Wang Feng, and said coldly to the guest: "This is the spirit stone that you are going to return. Tingyulou will not accept this order." , Fellow Daoist Wang, please ask someone else to help you!"

Tingyu Tower suffered extremely heavy losses for the sake of just twenty or so spirits. Yan Lao, who was at the peak of Qi refining, and Sun Aunt, who was in the middle stage of foundation building, both lost their arms. Even the Mo Yin Spirit Cannon, which represented the status of the sub-building owners of Tingyu Tower, I also lost my dignity and lost my dignity.

Yan Ling was so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe. Looking at the 'culprit' in front of her, she wanted to cut him into pieces to relieve the hatred in her heart.

Unfortunately, Tingyulou had Tingyulou's rules and could not take action against her employer. Yan Ling endured her aggrievement and resigned from the assassination team.

Wang Feng was startled when he noticed the strong murderous intention in Yan Ling's body, and his face turned pale with a 'swish' sound.

"Let's stop the assassination. Wang really didn't know that the servant disciple's background was so terrifying. Lord Yan, please forgive me. These spiritual stones will be used as compensation for the loss of Tingyu Tower. Wang will not disturb you anymore!" Wang Feng! At a loss what to do, he quickly bowed, apologized and resigned.

"Stop, take the spirit stone before leaving! Tingyulou! There is no need for you to apologize." Yan Ling's eyes were bloodshot, she stopped Wang Feng, and signaled word by word.

"Yes! Yes!" Wang Feng didn't dare to hesitate. He hugged all the spirit stones in his arms in a panic and staggered out of Tingyu Tower. He looked extremely embarrassed, fearing that if he was a little late, he would not be able to walk out of the door with his life.

At this time, Li Mu arrived with his sword, and with the robe of an outer disciple, he landed directly in Qing'an Town. No one asked him to collect town fees anymore.

Li Mu went straight to Zhang's Spiritual Materials Shop, preparing to find Zhang Baiping to take back Red Wolf, when he suddenly made an unexpected discovery.
