Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

It's late at night and there's a cool breeze blowing outside.

After Li Mu confirmed that the old Taoist would not come to his door, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He took out the book "Twenty-Four Seasons of Sword Art" and did what he did last time. He used scissors to cut open the layer hidden on the last page and took out a piece. Thin jade slips.

Thin jade slips: four inches long, two inches wide, four or five pieces of paper thick, green and green, carved with mysterious spiritual patterns, full of traces of time.

Li Mu took out the thin jade slip and placed it in his palm. The innate magical power of identifying all spirits took effect, and information related to it immediately appeared in the virtual box in his field of vision.

【Inherited Jade Slips】

[Grade: Second-grade spiritual object]

[Characteristics: Spiritual consciousness, uncorroded for thousands of years]

[The jade slips record a Xuan-level puppet inheritance technique, and the spiritual consciousness is put into it, and the inheritance of the technique can be read. 】

Looking at the information introduction on the jade slip, Li Mu became excited. He immediately closed his eyes, silently mobilized his spiritual consciousness, gathered the limited power of his spiritual consciousness, and devoted himself to it.

With a "boom", Li Mu's spiritual consciousness was thrown into the inherited jade slip. The next second, a large amount of information flowed, an inherited method called "Thousand Machine Puppet Technique", and the refining methods of various puppets, one by one. Presented.

Paper puppets, wooden puppets, metal puppets, foundation-building puppets, monster puppets, flying puppets,..., large and small, all kinds, a total of 72 puppet refining methods, puppet control methods, all kinds Puppet knowledge is presented completely and comprehensively.

Li Mu suddenly felt his head sinking, as if someone had hit him hard with a hammer. A large amount of knowledge related to puppets filled his mind. His brain was overloaded and was not functioning smoothly.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Mu opened his eyes, excitedly waking up from the state of accepting the puppet inheritance of "Thousand Machine Puppet Technique".

"Thousand Machine Puppet Techniques" records a total of seventy-two puppet refining methods, ranging from low to high grades, including nine types of flying puppets, puppet secret patterns, puppet core source refining methods, and spiritual consciousness techniques for controlling puppets. Presented one by one.

A very complete puppet inheritance that can be cultivated to the golden elixir realm.

If you can achieve success in the puppet technique and refine an army of puppets, it will be easy to defeat one against a hundred in the future.

But unfortunately, puppetry has a fatal flaw. The materials required to refine a puppet are too expensive. Even to refine the lowest level paper puppet, you need secret puppet skin, monster spirit, and secret spiritual ink. , wait, a simple paper puppet requires hundreds of low-grade spiritual stones.

Next, there is the wooden puppet, which requires special quality spiritual wood to facilitate the burning of the puppet pattern, the puppet core that drives the puppet,..., etc., the cost of refining a puppet is three to four times that of a paper puppet. times.

On top of the puppets, there are also metal puppets and monster bone puppets. Their quality is higher than wooden puppets and paper puppets, but the cost has also increased accordingly.

All in all, wanting to create an army of puppets in a short period of time was just a dream for Li Mu.

Li Mu sighed and looked at the character attribute column.

[Ding, you successfully accepted the inheritance of "Thousand Machine Puppet Technique", and you learned the puppet refining technique and puppet control technique. 】

Sure enough, two skills that needed to be improved appeared in the character attribute column.

Li Mu was happy but worried at the same time. The Qingmu Jue, the Fire Control Jue, the Xuanshui Jue, and the untrained Thousand Earth Technique were all he needed to complete the Five Elements. With the addition of the Puppet Technique, the Tempering Technique was just missing. Divine arts, talisman making, sword control,... and other miscellaneous techniques consume more and more energy and practice time.

There are too many techniques, and there is no time to calm down and refine a certain field, not to mention managing spiritual plants and developing new spiritual fields.

Li Mutou's head was as big as a bucket, and he wished he could break it into several people.

Come one at a time and take your time!

Li Mu sighed, gathered his mood, and began to refine the evil-proofing talisman.

…

In the next month, Li Mu once again became a farmer. During the day, he took care of spiritual plants and opened up new fields. At night, he practiced the Divine Art, refined evil talismans, practiced sword control, swordsmanship,... and had three meals a day. , simple spiritual rice with wild vegetables, living a simple and repetitive life.

After a month of hard work, Li Mu cleared a large area of ​​weeds and shrubs between the two spiritual fields, leveled the hillsides, and reclaimed five acres of new fields.

However, these newly reclaimed fields still need to be set up with spiritual formations to attract spiritual energy to nourish them, and then accumulate fertility for the fields. Finally, the five acres of spiritual fields can be slowly transformed into low-grade spiritual fields.

"I hope I can catch up with the sowing season of White Jade Spirit Rice!" Li Mu took a deep breath, put down the farm tools, packed up, and prepared to go to the Qingxuan Sect's headquarters to ask the formation cultivators to set up the spirit-guiding array.

Three hours later, it was approaching dusk.

Li Mu spent 500 spirits and successfully invited Senior Brother Xu to set up a spirit-inducing array around the five-acre spiritual field in Xiaoliang Mountain.

"Junior Brother Li, I have already set up the spirit-guiding formation. Next, this formation will need to replace a batch of spirit stones every ten days. It will take about three months. These five acres of rich land can be stably cultivated into low-grade spiritual fields. !" Xu Lijin looked at Li Mu with a tired face and reminded.

"It will take three months! How many spiritual stones will be burned!" Li Mu's expression changed and he cried out in pain.

"It will take three months. If you give up halfway, these spiritual fields will be useless." Xu Lijin solemnly explained.

"Can spiritual plants be planted in these five acres of land in these three months?" Li Mu nodded and asked with concern.

"You can plant a small amount! However, don't expect a good harvest. That's it. It's time for me to leave." Xu Lijin explained and signaled.

"I understand! Senior Brother Xu, it's getting late, so don't leave until you have a meal." Li Mu politely persuaded him to stay.

"No need, the road is dangerous in the dark!" Xu Lijin waved his hand, and after speaking, he released a spiritual sword, flew up, and drove away with the sword.

Watching Xu Lijin's flying figure, Li Mu showed a hint of envy. However, looking down at the spirit-guiding array arranged by Xu Lijin, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

Li Mu didn't understand why Xu Lijin gave such instructions before leaving, causing him to waste spiritual stones in vain.

Did he do it on purpose? Or just in case?

Through his innate magical power - identifying all spirits, Li Mu has confirmed that the spirit-guiding array has begun to take effect.

The spiritual veins flowing out near Xiaoliang Mountain are gathering towards several new fields and are gradually gaining momentum. The five acres of new fields are gradually being nourished by spiritual power and are gradually becoming spiritual.

However, according to the current transformation speed of the spiritual field, it can be turned into a low-grade spiritual field in about half a month or less than a month. If you continue to fill it with spiritual stones, it is completely wasted. The spiritual stone formation will be replaced every ten days. It takes 30 lower spirits for one time, and 270 lower spirits for three months.

Senior Brother Xu is going to trap him to death!

Li Mu sighed, feeling the difficulty of this world again.
