Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

After pondering in his mind for a moment, Li Mu suddenly felt that something was wrong.

If Lord Qingwei's words are true, as "mortals" like them, if they participate in the battle between gods, demons and immortals, they probably have no chance of winning.

Seeing Li Mu's serious expression, Lord Qingwei couldn't help but sigh.

"These information are actually leaked by Deacon Fang unintentionally. Maybe there is a solution in Zhongzhou, but in our Southern Wilderness Spiritual Domain... let's forget it."

"It's okay not to mention it, Master Li. Last time I wanted to ask you to help me refine the spiritual treasure, but I had no choice but to give up because I didn't have the spiritual materials."

"Now that I have accumulated enough spiritual materials, can you help me refine a sixth-level magic weapon?"

As he spoke, Master Qingwei's face showed a bit of hope.

He knew the strength of Venerable Xuan Ling very well. The reason why he was able to show off his skills in the battle with the Nine Demon Sect this time was inseparable from the spirit treasure refined by Li Mu.

There are many people who are similar in strength to Venerable Xuan Ling, and there are also many people who hold sixth-level spiritual treasures, and there are even more people who have deep hatred for the Nine Demon Sect.

There are at least a dozen people who are blessed with these three conditions, not to mention hundreds of people.

But only Venerable Xuanling caught the attention of the Demon Ancestor of the Nine Demons Sect. The only difference was in the sixth-order spiritual treasure!

The sixth-level spiritual treasure refined by Li Mu is far stronger than others, and this is how the Reverend Dazzling Spirit shines instantly.

The military exploits that General Qingweizun gained in this battle were all exchanged for the high-level spiritual materials needed to refine the spiritual treasure. He immediately looked for Li Mu to refine the spiritual treasure. As a great master of void refining, he only had one six-level spiritual treasure. The level spirit treasure is not consistent with the attributes of his own spiritual root, and it really does not fit his identity.

After speaking, Lord Qingwei handed a storage ring to Li Mu with both hands.

"Okay, I wonder, senior, what kind of spiritual treasure do you want to refine?" Li Mu happily accepted the spiritual material and asked with a smile.

Lord Qingwei hurriedly explained the functions of the spirit treasure. He has a wind spiritual root, so he wants to refine a wind spirit treasure with speed, clones, phantoms, etc. The refining materials provided are also High-level wind spiritual material.

"Okay, senior, I understand, but I am preparing to go out for a trip. Please come to Yin Yang Valley to see me in a month!" Li Mu wrote down the function of the Ling Bao, looked at Qingwei Zun and responded.

"Okay!" Lord Qingwei was very aware of Li Mu's strength and nodded confidently.

Watching Qingwei leave, Li Mu followed suit and took Xueer with him to pilot the Earth Spirit Ship and fly to the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range.

The secrets known to Master Qingwei come from the Xuantian Sword Sect and Taiyi Sect. The trip to Zhongzhou has to be put on the agenda. If the future development that he has glimpsed is completely followed, the destruction of the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm is almost inevitable. trend.

Gotta do something before then.

Li Mu felt a little heavy in his heart. Xiaojin, Xiaowa and the others had not returned yet...

The Earth Spirit Ship appeared like thunder, and appeared on the edge of the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range the next day.

On the Earth Spirit Ship, Li Mu stood alone at the bow of the Spirit Ship, looking toward the mountains.

"Master Li, it's cold outside. I brought you some clothes."

Xueer held a piece of clothing and leaned over cautiously.

Li Mu took it casually and glanced at Xue'er from the corner of his eye.

Her face was no longer as happy as when she first set off, and her expression was full of worry.

The demon clan has a keen intuition. Although there is no news at the moment, Xueer's reaction is not a good thing after all.

Li Mu comforted him.

"The Nine Demons Sect has been in a lot of trouble recently, and the Snow Fox clan may just be avoiding the limelight for a while, so they don't show their faces."

"Besides, the major demon clans are not vegetarians. We, the human race, are not willing to fight with them. It should only be a special period. Don't worry!"

Hearing this, Xueer hesitated for a moment, then nodded silently.

Along the way, there were not many high-level monsters seen along the way.

Xue'er already had a bad guess in her mind, which was an indescribable intuition.

"I don't know, I just feel a little uneasy."

Li Mu boarded the bow of the ship, searching for suspicious traces along the way in order to fully release his spiritual power.

But nothing has been discovered yet.

Except for the absence of some low-level monsters around, it was a little quieter, and there wasn't much out of the ordinary. However, this was exactly what was wrong. You know, they were entering the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain Range.

Seeing that Xue'er was depressed and depressed, Li Mu sighed, pulled her into the cabin, and introduced the functions of the Earth Spirit Ship one by one to divert her attention.

The Earth Spirit Ship flew at full speed, and soon it flew into the depths of the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains and headed straight for the Xueyun Mountain, the territory of the Snow Fox Clan.

He was about to meet with Senior Jin Ling, and Li Mu was thinking about the meeting ceremony. However, with his spiritual consciousness, he noticed something abnormal outside. Wherever his spiritual consciousness looked outside the ship, everything was devastated!

On almost every mountain peak, there are numerous large and small pits, large tracts of trees were destroyed, rubble was strewn on the ground, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.

There was obviously a fierce battle here.

The demon clan has already had a war, and there are no clues from the traces left here.

There was not even a corpse. Such a strange situation made Li Mu think of a possibility.

Demonic abyss.

At this point, Li Mu no longer dared to think about it.

It was dawn when the Earth Spirit Ship broke into this battlefield, and until noon, as far as Li Mu could see, the battlefield was still riddled with holes.

It was like stepping into a wilderness from ancient times. There was no living creature, not even a single wild beast such as a bird.

Li Mu had already opened the Earth Spirit Ship's defense methods, his consciousness expanded to the limit, and he carefully guarded his surroundings.

Being able to attack the demon clan means that if he encounters these people, he will be in a very dangerous situation.

"Master Li! Go there quickly!"

Suddenly, Xueer stepped in front of Li Mu, raised her hand and pointed to a huge mountain in the distance, looking nervous.

"I feel my mother's breath!"

Li Mu immediately controlled the Earth Spirit Ship to fly towards the giant mountain. As soon as they arrived at the giant mountain, Li Mu and Xue'er jumped, and the Earth Spirit Ship shrank instantly and returned to Li Mu's hands.

As soon as he stood on the ground, Li Mu felt the aura of the Nine Demon Sect's methods!

It’s demonic energy, there’s no way it’s wrong!

Xueer glanced around in confusion, and suddenly looked at a waterfall on the mountainside.

"There!"

Li Mu followed Xueer through the cover of the waterfall and entered a dark cave.

As soon as he regained his footing, Li Mu's heart sank at Senior Jin Ling's familiar aura.

Senior Jin Ling's breath is weak and the situation is not good.

"mother!"

Xueer rushed all the way to the deepest point.

On a bluestone platform, the emerald green moss is bursting with strange vitality. If you look carefully, you can find that the blood overflowing from Senior Jin Ling's wounds has made the moss grow extraordinarily strong.

On the bluestone platform was Xueer's dying mother.

Xue'er rushed straight in front of senior Jin Ling. She didn't dare to touch her mother and called out anxiously.

"Mom! Wake up, Xue'er is back."

Li Mu also stepped forward in twos and twos. His eyes quickly swept over Senior Jin Ling's body. There were fatal injuries everywhere! Especially the back, that knife went straight to the heart!

With another sweep of consciousness, Li Mu's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

Senior Jin Ling was not only seriously injured, she even had only a glimmer of consciousness left. Any slight fluctuation could cause her remaining consciousness to disappear completely.

With such an injury, Senior Jin Ling could still breathe, but he could die at any time.

Could it be that you have reached this point just to see Xueer for the last time?

While Li Mu was thinking, Senior Jin Ling slowly opened his eyes.

Her eyes were extremely tired, but there was also a sense of relief.

When he looked at Li Mu, his eyes seemed to say, you are finally here.

Looking at Xue'er again, the fatigue in her eyes disappeared, leaving only a look of doting on her face.

He raised his paw and gently placed it on Xue'er's forehead.

Li Mu let out a sigh of relief, luckily he caught up.

Although it was impossible to save the life of senior Jin Ling, mother and daughter were finally able to see each other for the last time.

If there was no Earth Spirit Ship, I would have missed even this last scene.

Just when he was about to leave and leave his time to them, Senior Jin Ling's weak voice came into his ears.

"The demonic energy enters the body and can control people's minds. It does not mean they lose their minds."

Li Mu, who had just turned around, was startled and turned around quickly, wanting to ask Senior Jin Ling for more details.

During his last visit, when he diagnosed senior Jin Ling's injuries, he determined that demonic energy could corrode consciousness. Li Mu never thought that this thing could control the mind!

What does Senior Jin Ling mean by this sentence?

Just wanted to ask again.

Senior Jin Ling's body turned into nothingness at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"mother!"

Xueer looked at her mother who was drifting away and cried loudly.

Xue'er stretched out her hand in vain, trying to hug her mother, but her hand passed through her mother's body. No matter how hard Xue'er tried, she could not retain her body that disappeared in the wind.

Until Senior Jin Ling's physical body dissipated, Xueer lay on the bluestone platform and cried loudly.

Li Mu's heart sank.

At the last moment, he didn't tell Xueer anything, but told himself the news about the demonic energy.

This news is important!

Li Mu frowned. Faintly, he seemed to have caught some key information, but he couldn't find it out of his mind no matter what.

After crying loudly, Xueer's voice was already hoarse.

Until no more sound can be made.

Li Mu stepped forward and gently patted Xue'er on the shoulder.

"Let's go, it's too dangerous here, and I don't think senior wants to see you in danger."

The moment Li Mu reached out and touched Xue'er, the bone-chilling cold stung his palms, and he hurriedly took them back.

"Um?"

I saw Xue'er's body covered in a layer of milky white. She curled up and was wrapped in milky white light.

Then, the milky white light group that Xueer transformed into was suspended here, and the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be going crazy, pouring into the light group crazily.

At the sudden change, Li Mu couldn't help but take a few steps back, staring at Xue'er closely.

Even the spiritual power in his body was affected by Xue'er's sudden bloodline power!

"Is this? Bloodline transformation?"

Li Mu stared at Xue'er with his eyes fixed on him. With his gift of identifying all spirits, he learned about Xue'er's current abnormal state.

Li Mu looked back and looked outside. Although this place was dangerous, the forces attacking the demon clan might come back at any time.

Maybe there is a glimmer of opportunity, a dark opportunity under the light.

Li Mu gave up the idea of ​​retreating as soon as possible. He could not let Xueer stay here alone.

He came to the entrance of the cave covered by the waterfall, and personally arranged a magic circle to block the atmosphere in the cave, in order to buy time for Xueer.

After arranging everything, Li Mu sat cross-legged at the entrance of the cave, quietly waiting for Xue'er's transformation.

An hour later, Li Mu frowned and stood up.

"It seems that we need to decorate it again."

The cave behind Li Mu had long been occupied by ice. The bone-chilling cold did not distinguish between friend and foe, and even Li Mu had to move his position outwards.

Flying along the mountain peak to halfway up the giant mountain, Li Mu frowned.

"I don't know if what I brought is enough."

It took Li Mu three full days to complete the formation of the entire giant mountain. Even the Earth Spirit Ship became a part of the formation.

After Li Mu completed the layout, with the waterfall as the center, less than half of the entire mountain was covered by Zhenbing.

Half of the mountain looks like an ice sculpture, exuding a permeating cold air.

If you look at it from the outside, relying on the shielding of the magic circle, you can't detect the changes inside at all.

Li Mu saw that Zhen Bing was no longer expanding, so he guarded it.

Three days later, Li Mu suddenly opened his eyes and ducked to the side.

boom!

The sharp ice pick broke through the cave, and the broken ice continued to roll towards the ground, making a muffled sound.

Li Mu frowned and flew directly to the edge of the cave to look inside.

A little fox, as white as jade, was seen crawling out. Li Mu stretched out his hand, and the little fox also stretched out its paws. As the spiritual power swept over, the little fox was fished out of the cave by Li Mu.

The moment it left the ice cave, its nine tails spread out in unison, which made Li Mu feel excited.

"Xue'er?"

The little fox just licked his lips and ignored Li Mu's call. He leaned against his feet and rubbed them affectionately, then raised his feet.

Li Mu quickly moved his legs away.

Looking at Xue'er's current condition, Li Mu didn't know whether to feel happy or sad for her. If she could temporarily forget about the loss of her mother and be carefree, it would actually be a relief for Xue'er.

"Let's go. If those people come, we won't be able to escape."

As Li Mu waved, the little fox also jumped on Li Mu. Judging from her appearance, she seemed to regard Li Mu as her "mother".

Li Mu summoned the Earth Spirit Ship and suddenly had an idea in his mind, leaving a few little puppets here. Then he drove at full speed and left this dangerous battlefield.

Half an hour after Li Mu left, disciples of the Nine Demons Sect appeared at the foot of the giant mountain.

"What a shabby job this is!"

"That's right, the Xuantian Sword Sect's coalition forces are all trapped in the formation right now, and they can fight back in a blink of an eye. They didn't expect to throw us into this deep mountain and old forest."

"Damn it! Commander, have you offended some big shot?"

…

There are a total of ten Nine Demon Sect disciples, all of whom are as powerful as Nascent Soul Demon Lord. They are swearing.

The team leader was a late-stage god-transformed demon lord. When he heard the speculations of his men, he also looked helpless.

"Stop chirping, I can tell you, this is not a chore."

"We went to the Xuantian Sword Sect's battlefield, and we just killed a few more Xuantian Sect disciples to get some hard work."

"If we find the corpse of a high-level demon clan here, it will be a great achievement. Only by killing the deacon of the Xuantian Sword Sect can we be able to compare."

The nine members were shocked.

"Is there still this matter?"

The captain smiled when he saw that everyone's thoughts were focused on him again.

"No, last time the big boss of Moyuan took action and caused the demon clan to fight among themselves, our Nine Demons Sect intercepted many corpses and captured countless strong men of the demon clan. In a few days, they will all be our nine demons. Zong’s puppet.”

"It's just that the leader of the Snow Fox clan is missing. This seriously injured old fox can really run away. We are already the fifth round of people coming to search."

"Cheer up, everyone. Catching this old fox will be a great achievement!"

It didn't take long for the disciples of the Nine Demons Sect to discover the traces left by Xueer's cocoon and hurriedly reported it to the Nine Demons Sect.

And the puppet Li Mu left behind also took in all of this.

It's a pity that the Earth Spirit Ship is too fast. If you want to convey the message, you must first find Li Mu.

More than thirty puppets got the news and rushed directly to the direction of Yin Yang Valley.

At this time, Li Mu was still on the Earth Spirit Ship. Looking at the jubilant Xue'er, Li Mu didn't know whether he should be sad or happy.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The little fox barked twice, came to Li Mu's feet, opened his mouth and let out a breath of cold air. In an instant, Li Mu's feet were frozen in the ice.

Li Mu's mouth twitched slightly.

"Again!"

Immediately shocked, the little fox broke free from Zhen Bing's restraints. The little fox was startled and ran towards the depths of the Earth Spirit Ship with a whoosh. It was obvious that it had not yet tired of playing the game of catching cats.

Li Mu was really annoyed. Whether it was peeing at his feet before or deliberately freezing his feet now, this little fox did it on purpose!

Don't give it a good slap today!

Li Mu used all his strength and knew the Earth Spirit Ship very well. In just ten breaths, the little fox was forced into a corner by Li Mu.

The little fox squatted on the spot, curling up its nine tails at its feet, lowering its head, looking pitiful.

They used this method to get through before, but now Li Mu is not used to it!

He immediately grabbed her off the ground and slapped her on the butt.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

"If you dare to hit me, I will release her and I will feel so sorry for you!"

"I'm still crying now. It's so fun."

The little fox suddenly spoke. Li Mu was startled and gently touched the little fox with his palm.

"Can you talk?"

The little fox gave Li Mu a blank look.

"I am a nine-tailed fox. I am born noble. Your human language is not difficult. I can learn it in a few minutes."

Li Mu casually hit it on the head with a violent bang.

"Where's Xue'er?"

The little fox was in pain and lay on Li Mu's lap. Its nine tails drooped down and it yawned.

"You are talking about my little sister. She is crying and crying when her mother dies. If I hadn't taken action, I would have missed the treasures my mother left behind."

"Oh, you useless good-for-nothing sister, it's time for her to get some sleep."

"Do you want to coax her?"

This problem made Li Mu very troublesome.

It's really not appropriate to let Xue'er out at this time. There are some things that outsiders can't persuade.

Xueer has to figure it out for herself before she really understands it.

"Okay, you have to let her out when I think about what to say."

The little fox yawned again and rubbed his head on Li Mu's arm.

"Controlling the body is so boring, do you think I'm happy with it?"

It seemed like gossip, but in reality, he took advantage of the moment when Li Mu relaxed his guard and jumped out with a chirp.

The corners of Li Mu's mouth twitched slightly, and the little fox froze his hands again.

Li Mu casually shook his hand, shattering the ice in his hand, and shook his hand, his arm feeling a little cold.

Although Li Mu is only in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, he has a full-level soul-devouring body-nurturing art, and his body is far stronger than that of a god-transformation monk. The little fox was born through sharp changes, which is equivalent to the infancy stage. His strength is limited, and Zhen Bing can already influence it. Seeing his actions, if you can cultivate him in the future, it will definitely be a big help to you.

Li Mu stood up, stopped playing with the little fox, and rummaged through his various spiritual seeds.

【Nine Nether Frost Grass】

[Grade: Sixth-Level Spiritual Seed]

[Characteristics: Jiuyou is covered in cold frost, and tough grass grows in response to the cold. Without thousands of cold, there would be no bones like this. 】

[Condition: Well preserved and fully active. 】

[Jiuyou Frost Grass grows in cold places. It takes three thousand years of frost to take shape. This grass grows but all grass withers, and it is the sole overlord of the frost land. This thing is useful for enlightening spiritual wisdom and understanding the great truth, and it is useful for some demons to break out of their cocoons and transform into butterflies. 】

This Nine Nether Frost Grass is suitable for the current little fox, but I don't know if its body can withstand the medicinal effects of this sixth-level spiritual plant.

After thinking for a moment, Li Mu still put the spiritual seed into the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion for temporary storage.

Now is not the best time to cultivate the Nine Nether Frost Grass.

A war broke out between the Nine Demon Sect and the Xuantian Sword Sect, and the Yin Yang Valley was no longer a safe place. What's more, the Nine Nether Frost Grass needs to be carefully cultivated for fifty years and watered for another thirty years before it can grow.

At least eighty years before and after, he couldn't stay in Yin Yang Valley for that long.

As for the painting world treasure house, the Nine Nether Frost Grass is too cold. Once planted, other spiritual plants will be basically useless. Li Mu has not given up the idea of ​​​​gathering sesame seeds from watermelons.

"Yes, you have to go to Wanbao Pavilion to try your luck."

Li Mu gave up his thoughts and waited patiently for the Earth Spirit Ship to return to Yin Yang Valley.

In fact, the death of senior Jin Ling did not bring much impact to Li Mu. After all, the two parties only met on a casual basis and were not in a relationship yet.

It's a pity that the original trading plan was completely scrapped due to the destruction of the Snow Fox Clan.

With the Nine Demon Sect's encirclement and suppression like this, even senior Jin Ling can't escape from its clutches. The rest of the Snow Fox Clan may be in danger.
