Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Li Mu was slightly startled, his eyes fell on the person who came, and for a moment he couldn't believe his eyes.

I didn't expect to see an old acquaintance today. He was dressed in a blue robe, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. There was a trace of unspeakable melancholy between his eyebrows. The years did not seem to have left many traces on his face. However, there was something in his eyes. Some vicissitudes of life that are difficult to conceal.

The person who came was none other than Fang Yunjian, the deacon elder of Xuantian Sword Sect. They had not met each other for more than twenty years. In their memories, Fang Yunjian was full of high-spirited swordsmanship and high spirits.

"Master Li, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?"

Under Xue'er's guidance, Fang Yunjian walked into the inner hall, stared at Li Mu, and said hello with a smile.

Looking at Li Mu, Fang Yunjian's face was calm, but he was actually quite shocked inside. In just twenty years, his cultivation had already reached the level of Evolution God from the middle stage of Nascent Soul. On the way here, he heard many stories about him. , Five elements are cultivated together, swordsmanship is unparalleled, the ability to refine the body can compete with the seventh-level white whale demon emperor, surpass the level to rival the Void Refining monk,..., when passing through the divine thunder tribulation, he was able to subdue and refine it with his bare hands. Seventh-level tribulation thunder and sky fire - Yin and Yang thunder and fire.

"Deacon Fang, it's true that I haven't seen you for many years, but your style is still the same!" Li Mu responded with a smile.

After the two were polite, and greeted by Li Mu, they sat apart in the lobby, and the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed.

"Master Li, to be honest, I came here today on the order of the sword master to ask Master Li for help!" Fang Yunjian looked at Li Mu and went straight to the point.

"Deacon Fang, please speak up if you have anything to say. Could it be that the sword master asked me to refine the weapon? There is nothing I can do for the seventh-level Taoist soldier now!" Li Mu gestured quickly with a hint of doubt.

Fang Yunjian shook his head and signaled: "No! It's not weapon refining, it's something else. The Ten Thousand Stars Sea is far away from the Zhongzhou Spiritual Domain. In order to resist the invasion of the Nine Demons Sect and the Demon Abyss, the sword master plans to deploy an ancient teleportation array in this domain. , However, several formation masters are helpless against this ancient teleportation array, so I would like to ask the formation masters from your building to take action!"

Hearing this, Li Mu immediately fell into silence, feeling tangled in his heart.

The formation master of Li’s Zhenbao Tower, that’s not him!

Having the weapon refining technique at the level of a grand master is already very dazzling. Would it be too much to announce the formation technique at the level of a grand master?

Li Mu didn't want to be too high-profile, and instinctively wanted to find an excuse to get rid of it.

However, Li Mu suddenly thought of the future scene that could be glimpsed through the Fortune Turtle, and it seemed that he had to help.

The strength and status of the Xuantian Sword Sect plays an important role in the Zhongzhou Spiritual Realm. If we can help them solve this problem, we can take this opportunity to make a small request and easily solve the fatal threat from the Nine Demon Sect and the Demon Abyss. There will undoubtedly be huge potential. benefit.

It looks like I have to help with this!

"Several formation masters highly praise the protective formation of Li's Treasure House. I wonder, Master Li, who arranged the protective formation of your building? Can you recommend it for me?" Fang Yunjian looked at the silent Li Mu anxiously. he asked.

Li Mu came back to his senses and had made a decision in his heart. He smiled faintly and introduced: "Deacon Fang, don't worry. Since the sword master asked for it, I will try my best to help. To be honest, I am the one who protects the Li family's treasure house." Decorated by myself.”

"Master Li, are you serious about this?" Fang Yunjian looked at Li Mu in surprise, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

This is too evil!

Fang Yunjian stared at Li Mu, as if he didn't recognize him.

Before, he only knew that Li Mu was a master of weapon refining, but he did not expect that he was also proficient in the art of formation. Such a versatile person was really rare.

As if he had anticipated Fang Yunjian's reaction, Li Mu smiled slightly and explained: "Refining weapons requires setting up a weapon array, which has something in common with a magic circle, so I casually learned the art of setting up the array."

After a pause, Li Mu looked at Fang Yunjian and gestured: "However, I have never learned the ancient teleportation formation, so I am not sure whether I can help with this! Deacon Fang, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run!"

Hearing this, Fang Yunjian's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he soon regained his composure.

"As it is, I wonder if Master Li has time at the moment. Sword Master Feng and several formation masters are waiting." Fang Yunjian looked at Li Mu and invited.

Li Mu thought for a moment and nodded: "In that case, I'll let you go. I also want to see the ancient teleportation array!"

Fang Yunjian nodded happily and breathed a sigh of relief.

So, Fang Yunjian took Li Mu away from Li's Treasure House and flew towards Tianling Island next to Wanxing Island.

"The sect's headquarters is located on Tianling Island, which is next door to Ten Thousand Stars Island. All major forces from the Zhongzhou Spiritual Domain are stationed on this island." Fang Yunjian led the way while introducing the situation on Tianling Island to Li Mu.

The two of them flew for about half an hour and arrived at the sky above Tianling Island. Below, there was a spiritual energy and clouds and mist. The island was lined with buildings and sword towers towering into the clouds, creating a prosperous scene.

Immediately, Fang Yunjian talked about the war situation in the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm again, his tone was quite heavy and full of worry.

The war in the Southern Wilderness was a complete defeat, with heavy casualties. The Nine Demon Sect and the Moyuan forces used cunning tactics to enslave the Southern Wilderness demon clan and make them the vanguard of the demon clan's invasion. These former allies have now become their biggest enemies, and the fate of the Southern Wilderness Monster Clan has also undergone a huge turn. The native humans of the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Domain, both mortals and monks, have suffered heavy casualties.

The last operation of the Central Continent Spiritual Realm to gather top forces dealt a fatal blow to the Nine Demon Sect and the Demonic Abyss. However, it could not completely suppress the invasion from the Demonic Abyss. Now, it retreated to the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Stars and prepared for a long-term resistance war.

After Fang Yunjian's narration, Li Mu also understood the importance of the successful deployment of the ancient teleportation array.

The two of them were speeding along, exchanging their spiritual thoughts, and soon landed from Tianling Island.

Tianling Island and Wanxing Island are not far apart, but the scenes are very different. There are many forces stationed on Tianling Island with different architectural styles. There are both simple Taoist temples and majestic cities. Various atmospheres blend together on Tianling Island. At the same time, there is both the tranquility and detachment of the practitioners, and the tension and solemnity of the warriors.

Fang Yunjian led Li Mu through Tianling Island, and met many monks on the way. When they saw Fang Yunjian, they all greeted him with great respect. However, their eyes kept turning to Li Mu, and apparently many people had recognized this great master of weapon refining.

Li Mu smiled calmly and responded to everyone's gaze in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.

Fang Yunjian led Li Mu to a square on the island.

At this time, a group of people had been waiting in the square for a long time, and their eyes were focused on Li Mu.

Li Mu's eyes were attracted by one of the ordinary old men.

He was dressed in white robes, with silver sword eyebrows, a thin face, and deep eyes. This old man seemed ordinary, but he exuded an extraordinary temperament that made people feel awe.

"Sword Master, this is Master Li Mu." Fang Yunjian introduced to Sword Master Feng.

Hearing this, Sword Master Feng showed a happy smile on his face, looked at Li Mu seriously, nodded and praised: "Master Li, I have admired you for a long time, and when I meet you today, you are indeed worthy of your reputation."

Li Mu hurriedly saluted and responded humbly: "Senior, you have given me too much praise. I am just a casual cultivator with a false reputation."

"Haha! If it's about other things, I don't dare to draw conclusions on my own, but if it's about swordsmanship, I still have some perspective. Master Li is young, and although he hasn't gained the heart of the sword, he has already understood the domain of the sword.' The name Li Jianxian is not an exaggeration." Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu, laughed and expressed appreciation.

Hearing Sword Master Feng's praise, Li Mu was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that his magical powers in the sword realm would be revealed by him. His eyes were so poisonous!

"The sword master is overrated. I only have a slight understanding of it, and I am still far from the true way of swordsmanship!" Li Mu smiled bitterly and responded quickly.

Fang Yunjian looked at Sword Master Feng in surprise, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"Sword Master, you are saying that Master Li did not master the sword heart, but he understood the magical power of the sword domain. How is this possible?" Fang Yunjian looked at Sword Master Feng and confirmed in disbelief.

Sword Intent, Sword Heart, Sword Soul, Sword Domain, their realms are each deeper than the other, and they are also extremely close to each other. It is almost impossible to control the latter without mastering the former. thing.

Sword Master Feng looked at Fang Yunjian and explained calmly: "This is not impossible. Although Sword Heart and Sword Domain are related, they are two different realms. Although Master Li has not mastered Sword Heart, he is comprehending Sword Domain It is very rare to achieve a breakthrough in this aspect, but it is also possible.”

As if he was sorting out his thoughts, Sword Master Feng continued: "It is actually not difficult to obtain the heart of the sword. As long as a person can focus on the way of the sword and practice persistently, as time goes by, he will naturally gradually understand the true meaning of the heart of the sword. However, Master Li's knowledge of swordsmanship is quite complex, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to master the sword's heart in a short period of time."

Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu and said curiously: "As for the Sword Domain, Master Li must have some special opportunities in the way of swordsmanship! People who can obtain the magical power of the Sword Domain usually have special opportunities in the way of swordsmanship. Master Li is able to It really surprises me that someone in the realm of transformation has this magical power in the sword domain!"

After saying that, Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu curiously, with an inquiring light shining in his eyes, obviously very interested in Li Mu's special opportunity.

The magical power of the Sword Realm generally needs to be obtained after advancing to the Void Realm. However, he had the magical power of the Sword Realm in advance at the Divine Transformation Realm. This opportunity really made him curious.

Li Mu smiled and nodded, and said calmly: "That's true. I accidentally obtained a sword formation technique in my early years. The magical power of the sword domain was obtained after cultivating it to a profound level."

"It turns out that it was given by the Sword Formation Technique. What a great opportunity!" Sword Master Feng nodded clearly and said sincerely: "It is really rare for Master Li to obtain such a precious Technique. I wonder if you can let me have a look? Don't worry. I will never take advantage of Master Li, and I am willing to exchange other high-level sword skills with Master for reading. If it doesn't work, I won't force it."

"Sword Master, you're welcome, I'm fine with you!" Li Mu smiled and nodded, then he put his mind into the Jiuzang Spirit Bead and rummaged for a while.

Soon, Li Mu took out the long-dusted "Basics of Sword Formation" and presented it with both hands.

Sword Master Feng took the "Basics of Sword Formation" and flipped through it, with a dumbfounded smile on his face.

Sword Master Feng couldn't be more familiar with this sword formation technique. Although this technique is precious, it is not a rarity for a master like him. However, Li Mu actually realized the magical power of the sword realm by relying on this method.

Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu with a complicated expression, and asked with emotion: "Master Li, did you really develop the magical power of the sword realm using only this method?"

"Indeed! Is there any problem?" Li Mu asked puzzledly.

Fang Yunjian glanced at the cover of the magic formula curiously, and a complicated expression immediately appeared on his face.

"Master Li, the sword formation technique you have obtained is one of the core sword techniques of our sect." Fang Yunjian responded quickly, and then explained: "The power of the sword formation is indeed powerful, but it is extremely difficult to master. It involves the force of the sword. , formation position, spiritual will intensity, sword energy fluctuations and many other aspects require extremely strong swordsmanship talent and comprehension ability to master."

After a pause, Fang Yunjian looked at Li Mu and gestured: "Master Li can use this sword formation technique to comprehend the magical power of the sword domain. I am afraid he has refined this sword formation technique very deeply!"

"Is this sword formation technique a lost possession of your sect?" Li Mu did not answer directly, so he showed surprise and asked with concern.

"No, it's a secret that our sect accidentally passed down. It's just a fragment. Master Li, don't be nervous!" Sword Master Feng smiled slightly, quickly comforted him, and then said happily: "Master Li, you have such a powerful talent for swordsmanship. I wish you could Join this sect and continue to learn the subsequent inheritance techniques of this basic chapter of the sword formation."

"Well, let's talk about this later! Aren't we here to solve the teleportation array today?" Li Mu hesitated, avoided the question, and brought the topic back to the teleportation array.

Hearing this, Sword Master Feng frowned slightly and felt very surprised. He originally thought that given his identity and status, if he invited Li Mu to join the sect in person, he would be happy to accept it. But he didn't expect that he would be rejected, which made him feel a little unhappy.

"What Master Li said is absolutely true. We will discuss this matter later. Let's solve the problem of the teleportation array first." Fang Yunjian quickly broke the tense atmosphere, looked at the formation mages, and gestured: "The protective array of Li's treasure building, It was arranged by Master Li himself."

Hearing this, the formation masters who were watching the show suddenly became energetic.

Sword Master Feng's eyes lit up, and his somewhat displeased expression instantly dissipated, and the look he looked at Li Mu suddenly became much kinder. Such a talented and evil person was indeed qualified to refuse his invitation.

"Master Li, it turns out that you are the master who set up the protective formation of Li's Treasure Tower!" Lin Fudou, the formation master, looked at Li Mu and exclaimed.

"The protective formation of Li's Treasure House is infinitely powerful. I am truly lucky to see the true face of Master Li today!" Tao Ming, the master of the formation, said with emotion.

…

All the formation masters gathered around Li Mu, and after giving them some compliments, they took out the formation diagram of the ancient teleportation formation and began to ask Li Mu for advice.

Faced with everyone's inquiries, Li Mu behaved very humbly and patiently, carefully reading the array diagram and thinking about how to repair and arrange the ancient teleportation array. (End of chapter)
