Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Qing'an Town, the residence of Qingxuan Sect

Zhou Guangzhi saw Xu Lijin's sword falling in the yard and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Senior Brother Xu, what happened? Is that person at the seventh level of Qi Refining?" Zhou Guangzhi asked with concern.

"At the seventh level of Qi refining, his spiritual consciousness is not weak either." Xu Lijin nodded and said solemnly: "Find a way to kill him!"

"Brother, if we do it directly, if the sect discovers it,..." Zhou Guangzhi said hesitantly. The seventh level of Qi refining means that you can easily fly with a sword. If you can't kill it, you may be escaped by the other party. , when the time comes, he will sue the sect, and they will not be able to live without it.

"Didn't I tell you to think of a way! I didn't ask you to take action directly." Xu Lijin glanced at Zhou Guangzhi and said angrily.

"Uh!" Zhou Guangzhi started thinking and looked at Xu Lijin: "Lure him out? That guy is a spirit planter and is very timid. I'm afraid he won't be fooled. Xiaoliang Mountain is so remote. If you can lure a monster there, , maybe there is a chance!”

"This plan is feasible. It's settled. You go look for monsters, and I'll prepare the materials to attract the monsters." Xu Lijin nodded and made arrangements.

"Yes!" Zhou Guangzhi happily accepted the order and hurriedly left the yard to spy on the monsters.

Xiaoliangshan.

After sending Xu Lijin away, Li Mu felt vaguely uneasy and sped up the carving of the puppet.

Wood chips were flying, and the sharp carving knife was like a paintbrush in Li Mu's hand, 'painting' along the lines of the peach wood itself, carving out the puppet formation pattern and integrating it...

About a quarter of an hour later, two palm-sized spider wood carvings appeared in Li Mu's hands, lifelike.

Li Mu put away the carving knife, turned the puppet spider over, took out a lower spirit, and placed it in the groove of the spider's abdomen. The next second, the puppet array pattern on the puppet spider's body was activated, and the spiritual light flickered for a moment, then disappeared. .

Li Mu smiled with satisfaction, placed the spider puppet on the ground, and controlled its operation with his spiritual consciousness.

I saw that the puppet spider moved its eight wooden legs and crawled quickly, left and right, very flexibly.

The 'Red Wolf' who was lying on the ground accompanying his master saw this scene and immediately became interested and started chasing the spider puppet.

Seeing this, Li Mu became interested, and used his consciousness to control the spider puppet, crawling quickly, dodging left and right, or hiding in a pile of debris, or getting into a narrow door crack, with great speed and flexibility.

The red wolf barked anxiously, but could not catch the agile prey.

"Red Wolf, come here." Li Mu greeted the Red Mu puppy with a smile.

After several days of feeding, the red wolf has recognized Li Mu as its master, abandoned the prey, and ran to Li Mu obediently.

Li Mu smiled and picked up the red wolf. At the same time, his consciousness operated the spider puppet to crawl back into his hands.

Looking at the spider puppet, Li Mu smiled happily and looked at the virtual light screen.

[Ding, you have successfully refined a mortal-level puppet - the sentry spider, and your puppet refining skill proficiency +0. 】

Refining a low-end sentry spider, the fourth-level puppet technique can no longer obtain proficiency rewards. Li Mu doesn't care at all. He only needs to farm well to reach the top level of this puppet technique.

The fourth-level puppetry technique provided Li Mu with a lot of basic knowledge and experience in refining puppets, involving puppet patterns, puppet arrays, array eyes, puppet cores,..., various key components of puppets, and attribute knowledge of puppet spiritual patterns. , such as: Yuling, beaming, awakening, control, link,..., etc., all-encompassing and extremely complex.

Li Mu was a programmer in his original world, with very good logical thinking and hands-on skills. After digesting the knowledge of refining puppets, he became particularly interested in refining puppets.

The first trial of the puppet was successful. Li Mu felt full of accomplishment. He turned the sentry spider puppet over, checked the consumption of the lower spirit stone, estimated it, and reduced the range of movement of the sentry spider. One lower spirit stone was estimated. It can last about 40 days.

That's enough!

This kind of sentry spider puppet has a built-in spiritual energy fluctuation sensing array. Place them around Xiaoliang Mountain to lurk. Once a large spiritual energy fluctuation is detected, it will immediately give feedback to Li Mu's spiritual energy pattern. Li Mu can go over to observe the scene with his spiritual consciousness. It can play a good early warning role.

Puppets like the Key Sentinel Spider are cheap to make, small in size, highly concealable, and difficult to detect.

Li Mu was able to carve a sentry spider in a quarter of an hour. He used up the leftover materials from the peach wood and successfully refined ten sentry spiders in one go.

Li Mu plans to use the remaining large pieces of spiritual peach wood to refine a humanoid 'coolie' puppet to do some simple farm work on his behalf, such as plowing and loosening soil, plowing and weeding, transportation,..., etc., which are heavy and time-consuming. time thing.

Two hours later, Li Mu concentrated on the carving work and successfully carved out the main torso of the 'coolie' puppet. The puppet is about five feet tall, with limbs and body shape highly similar to humans. It has five spiritual stone inlays on its chest and its body is covered with The puppet pattern extends to the limbs. The wood grain deeply embedded in the puppet's body is dense and extremely complex, just like a handicraft.

This coolie puppet is an autonomous puppet and needs to be equipped with a puppet source core. This puppet core source core needs to be refined with some special spiritual objects.

Li Mu thought of something and took out the high-level spiritual seeds that he had missed in the spiritual plant shop from the storage compartment.

【Soul Wood Spirit Seed】

[Grade: Fourth-grade spiritual wood]

[Characteristics: Contains the soul power of wood, the vitality of spiritual trees, and can breed soul-transforming seedlings. 】

[Status: Lack of soul power, spirituality not apparent]

[Soul Wood Spirit Seed: It needs to be infused with the power of the Yin Soul before the Spirit Seed can be cultivated. Growth requirements: It needs to be planted in a place where Yin gathers. It takes a hundred years to become useful - the fourth-level Soul Wood blooms in ten years and bears Soul Infant Fruit in ten years. Soul Tree The infant fruit can be used to refine soul-generating pills. The soul wood material is one of the main materials for refining the soul-splitting puppet. The fourth-level soul wood heart can be worn closely to strengthen the spirit and nourish the soul. 】

The innate magical power - identifying all spirits took effect. Li Mu looked at the information of this spiritual seed and hesitated whether to refine it into the driving core of the 'coolie' puppet.

This is a very good puppet core that carries spiritual objects, and can even be used to refine the puppet core that drives higher-level soul-split puppets. However, refining soul-split puppets is too high-end, and other materials cannot satisfy it;

Keeping soul wood spiritual seeds for planting and cultivating fourth-level soul wood will take hundreds of years to become useful. In addition, the planting environment is also difficult to achieve.

Li Mu weighed it for a moment and finally decided to use it to refine the core of the 'Coolie Puppet'.

To refine the puppet source core, you need to carve the puppet pattern on the inside and outside, use your spiritual consciousness to micro-carve the inside of the soul wood spirit seed, turn your spiritual consciousness into a carving knife, and carve the array that drives the puppet on the surface of the spiritual consciousness bearing object. Eye spirit pattern.

For the step of carving spiritual patterns with spiritual consciousness, the spiritual consciousness needs to reach the strength of the foundation-building realm. However, Li Mu's spiritual consciousness has been tempered by the fourth-level God Tempering Jue, and the spiritual consciousness can barely do it. To the extent that it can be condensed into a sword, tiny puppet spirit patterns are carved on the surface of the soul wood spirit species.

There is only one soul wood spirit seed, and there is only one chance to engrave the divine consciousness. Once the engraving fails, there will be no suitable puppet core bearer. Li Mu needs to practice beforehand to achieve 100% success.

Li Mu thought for a moment, took out a small piece of spiritual peach wood, and tried it with concentration.
