Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Not long after, Jiu Wuji found out the corresponding spiritual plant and informed Li Mu. It turned out to be a seventh-level spiritual plant.

"Qingming Sword Bamboo? Is there such a spiritual plant in the library?" Li Mu perked up and asked straight to the point.

Jiu Wuji looked at Li Mu and said apologetically: "There are no spiritual seeds of Qingming Sword Bamboo in the library. Flowering and seeding of Qingming Sword Bamboo is a very rare phenomenon that only occurs under specific environments and conditions. When it blooms , will produce a kind of spiritual seed called Qingming Bamboo Rice. However, after Qingming Sword Bamboo blooms and bears fruit, the entire bamboo forest will usher in the end of life, and the entire bamboo forest will quickly wither and die, so usually we only have to wait for Qingming Sword Bamboo to When the bamboo forest is about to die, it is possible to collect the spiritual seeds of Qingming Bamboo Rice."

"So the spiritual seeds of Qingming Sword Bamboo are extremely rare. There are only two Qingming Sword Bamboo plants that have matured over a thousand years in the warehouse, and there are no spiritual seeds." Jiu Wuji looked at Li Mu and said sheepishly.

Li Mu nodded, thought for a moment, and asked, "Can you tell me who provided these two green dark bamboos?"

"No problem! They were obtained by Sword Master Chen in the Xuanling Secret Realm." Jiu Wuji responded quickly.

"Sword Master Chen!" Li Mu muttered, feeling his head grow bigger.

The two Dao Lords and seven sword masters of Xuantian Sword Sect have always been elusive. Except for Sword Master Feng, Li Mu has not seen the other members since they have been in the sect for so long. It may not be easy to get the source of Qingming Sword Bamboo from Sword Master Chen. thing.

This can only be done slowly, and the existing spiritual plants must be taken care of first.

So Li Mulian ordered Jiu Wuji to exchange some spiritual materials to assist the growth of spiritual plants, and ended his trip to the Contribution Hall.

Li Mu returned to Qixuan Sect with his sword, and his figure landed lightly in the courtyard of the sect master's mansion, his clothes fluttering, like an immortal descending to earth.

"Master Li, you are back!" Xue'er stepped forward quickly, looking at Li Mu with a pair of bright eyes, as if she had countless words to say.

"Owner!" Liu Yalan greeted Li Mu happily with a curly figure.

Um! "Li Mu nodded slightly, his eyes flickering between Xue'er and Liu Yalan. His heart moved, and he suddenly remembered something. Then, Li Mu took out an exquisite jade box from the Jiuzang Spirit Bead, handed it to her and said, "This 'Xuanshuang' Purple Fruit is a rare treasure. Take it and practice in seclusion, hoping to reach the sixth level as soon as possible. "

Xue'er took the jade box, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, but then she pouted and said reluctantly: "Thank you, Mr. Li! However, I still want to stay with Sister Liu for a while, and I don't want to retreat for the time being. .”

Looking at Xueer's cute appearance, Li Mu couldn't help but laugh in his heart. However, he knew the importance of cultivation and could not condone her willfulness.

So, Li Mu pretended to be angry, stretched out his hand to beg for it and said, "Since you don't want to go into seclusion, just return the fruit to me. This spiritual fruit is extremely precious, and you just don't know how blessed you are amidst the blessings."

Hearing this, Xueer quickly held the jade box in her arms and said nervously: "No, no, no, no, I'm in seclusion. Isn't it okay if I go in seclusion?"

After saying that, Xueer turned to look at Liu Yalan, her eyes full of apology and reluctance, and said pitifully: "Sister Liu, I am going to retreat to practice. When I come out, I will take you to visit the Seven Gods Mountain."

Liu Yalan looked at Xue'er's aggrieved look, feeling amused and moved in her heart. She nodded and said softly: "Go, cultivation is the most important thing. You can rest assured to practice in seclusion, I will wait for you."

Soon, the two people's eyes gradually drifted away as Xue'er took three steps and looked back, her face full of reluctance, but in the end, she still walked firmly towards the retreat room.

Seeing Xue'er enter the retreat room, Li Mu withdrew his gaze, turned to face Liu Yalan, and opened his lips slightly: "Shopkeeper Liu..."

However, before the title was completely spoken, Liu Yalan interrupted Li Mu first, with a hint of elegance and loneliness in her smile: "Master, just call me Yalan! Li's Treasure House has become a thing of the past. Yunyan, I am no longer Shopkeeper Liu."

Li Mu's words were suddenly interrupted, and his eyes fell on Liu Yalan's face. He carefully looked at her complicated expression and saw a hint of resentment in her eyes, as well as her expectations for him.

Li Mu's heart moved, and he seemed to understand something, but he seemed a little confused.

Surprise flashed across Li Mu's eyes, as if he didn't expect Liu Yalan to make such a request in person, which caught him off guard.

Regarding the relationship between men and women, Li Mu has never really thought deeply about it over the years.

After coming to this world for more than a hundred years, Li Mu was either working hard in the fields or was exhausted on the way to escape, and did not dare to stop and rest for even a moment.

Regarding matters such as emotions, Li Mu always maintained a detached attitude, like a bystander, quietly observing the joys and sorrows of the world. Moreover, he had never thought of becoming a Taoist couple with Liu Yalan.

Facing Liu Yalan's request, Li Mu was silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Li Mu knows the path he wants to take in the future. He relies on absorbing the magical talent of spiritual planting to reach the top of the pyramid as soon as possible. Only in this way can he ensure that his secret will not be discovered. Even if he is discovered by the strong, he will have the power to protect himself. His future path is full of challenges. In the face of unknowns and challenges, you must not let your emotions hold you back, let alone make wrong decisions due to impulse.

In the end, Li Mu made a decision and chose to reject Liu Yalan in a tactful way.

Li Mu pretended not to understand what Liu Yalan meant, and smiled perfunctorily: "Shopkeeper Liu, you don't have to be so disappointed, and there is no need to change this title in a hurry. Our cooperation has just begun. Next, I want to entrust you with something. Continue to open Li’s Treasure House and spread the reputation of Li’s Treasure House in Zhongzhou Lingyu. I hope that we can always maintain a happy cooperative relationship.”

Although Li Mu's words were full of rejection, he expressed them in a very graceful way. After Liu Yalan understood, the look of anticipation in her eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a sense of relief and understanding.

Liu Yalan understood Li Mu's position and determination, and also understood that there was a huge gap between herself and him.

A proud man like Li Mu has been promoted to the level of god in more than a hundred years, and he has achieved the title of Grand Master of Artifact Refining at a young age. His future prospects are limitless, and he cannot compare with him.

Liu Yalan had used up all her courage to say these words, and now she dared not think any more.

Liu Yalan lowered her head and nodded silently, agreeing with Li Mu's decision.

Seeing this, Li Mu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He felt a sense of relief and relief when he clearly expressed his thoughts.

He knew that doing so might make Liu Yalan uncomfortable, but Li Mu believed that this was the best choice. He could not let emotions affect his planned future, let alone let anyone become a stumbling block for his progress.

Next, after Liu Yalan's mood had almost recovered, Li Mu began to plan with her to open the first store of Li's Zhenbao Building.

Li Mu handed Liu Yalan a storage ring that contained a large number of spiritual objects. As the beginning of their cooperation, the storage ring was filled with various rare spiritual objects, high-level spiritual weapons, and spiritual treasures, which were priceless. This is Li Mu's trust and support for Liu Yalan.

Liu Yalan took the storage ring and checked the spiritual weapon inside. She was immediately filled with gratitude and respect for Li Mu, knowing that this was Li Mu's trust in her and his affirmation of her ability.

Liu Yalan decided to go all out to live up to Li Mu's expectations.

Watching Liu Yalan leave energetically, Li Mu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Opening Li's Treasure House in Zhongzhou Lingyu is just a step. Li Mu actually doesn't have high expectations for the plan to open Li's Treasure House in Zhongzhou Lingyu. Zhongzhou Lingyu is the most prosperous and fertile place in the entire world of immortality, and business competition is also extremely fierce. In such an environment, you can imagine how difficult it is to open a treasure house and stand out.

In addition, Li Mu is backed by the behemoth Xuantian Sword Sect. As the top force in the Zhongzhou Spiritual Domain, Xuantian Sword Sect has a deep foundation and rich resources. It is staggering. It has all kinds of high-level spiritual materials and rare spiritual objects. Like an endless treasure house, as long as he has enough sect contributions, Li Mu can exchange these high-level spiritual materials at will without worrying about the lack of resources.

This is undoubtedly a huge advantage for Li Mu. He can use these spiritual materials to refine more powerful magic weapons and elixirs and quickly improve his cultivation.

However, Li Mu also understands that the acquisition of high-level spiritual materials cannot completely rely on the Xuantian Sword Sect, especially the large number of high-level spiritual materials that assist the growth of spiritual plants. After all, he hides too many secrets. If these secrets are discovered, It will definitely attract endless dangers, perhaps from the top brass of Xuantian Sword Sect.

After watching Liu Yalan leave, Li Mu turned around and began to patrol the seven spiritual mountains.

Li Mu cultivated a large spiritual field in each of the seven spiritual peaks of the Seven Gods Mountain where the spiritual energy is rich, arranged a magic circle, and planted seven kinds of fifth-level spiritual plants. Each of the five elements, yin and yang spiritual plants, has a god clone to look after it. .

Li Mu flew to Golden Sword Peak and plunged into the spirit field formation. As far as his eyes could see, a golden light shone, as if there were countless pieces of gold shining in the sun. This is the Golden Edge Sword Chrysanthemum, one of the fifth-level gold-type spiritual plants he carefully cultivated. This spiritual plant grows particularly lushly under the Jinyuan Formation. Each plant is two feet high, and its stems are as tough as tung trees. , the leaves are as green as jade, exuding a rich golden energy.

Li Mu stood next to the spiritual field, feeling the rich spiritual energy around him and the majestic vitality exuded by the Golden Edge Sword Chrysanthemum. He couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on his face. After more than ten years of careful care, the Golden Edge Sword Chrysanthemum has passed its time. The juvenile stage begins to enter the growth stage, and after another hundred years, it will be almost ready for harvesting.

Just when Li Mu was checking the growth status of Jinfeng Jianju, a wave of powerful gold elements suddenly came from the center of the spiritual field.

Soon, Longyuan's golden bead-refined god clone appeared and condensed in the sky above the spiritual field. His appearance was very similar to that of Li Mu. He sat cross-legged in the air with his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping. However, when he felt that Li Mu When the arrival came, he immediately opened his eyes, revealing a trace of expectation.

"Main subject, are you here? Have you brought the Jinli Yuanshi?" Jin Yuan's divine clone looked at Li Mu and asked straight to the point.

Li Mu smiled slightly, already accustomed to the indifference and impatience of Jin Yuan's divine clone. He wasn't upset or annoyed by it. On the contrary, he understands and accepts this attitude because it is determined by their relationship.

Li Mu smiled and nodded, raised his right palm, and a sudden light flashed, and a large number of golden glass yuan stones appeared above his palm, piled up like a hill.

Jin Li Yuan Stone, this extremely precious sixth-level spiritual material, each piece contains powerful gold energy. It can not only improve the monk's metal cultivation, but also increase the power of metal attributes when refining magic weapons. It can create a gold-yuan environment and enhance the growth rate of gold-type spiritual plants.

The reason why Li Mu so generously handed over these Jinli Yuanshi to Jin Yuan's God Clone was because he knew that these spiritual materials would be of greater value in the hands of Jin Yuan's God Clone. As his incarnation, the Jin Yuan God Clone has no independent spiritual intelligence, but it possesses the talent and magical power of the Jin Yuan Power. Therefore, Jin Yuan's divine clone will ripen Jinfeng Jianju faster than him, and the effect will be better.

Jin Yuan's divine clone quickly cast a spell and received the Jin Li Yuan Stone in Li Mu's hand. A glimmer of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He knew the preciousness and importance of these spiritual materials, and also understood the effort and price Li Mu had paid to obtain them. But he did not change his attitude and stance because of this. He still maintained an expression of indifference and alienation, as if there was an insurmountable gap between him and Li Mu.

Although the gold-type god clone was born because of Li Mu, he knew that his future destiny would also end because of it, so he naturally would not give Li Mu a good look.

The gold-type deity clone did not disappoint Li Mu. He immediately began to ripen the Golden Edge Sword Chrysanthemum after receiving the Jinli Yuanshi.

I saw that the gold-type god-incarnation clone swayed a large amount of gold and glass yuan stones towards the spiritual field, and then used mana to guide the gold and spiritual energy out of it, integrating it with the surrounding environment. Soon, the entire spiritual field was shrouded in golden light. , as if it has become a golden world full of vitality and vitality.

After delivering the spiritual materials and seeing the growth of the spiritual plants, Li Mu thanked Jin Yuan's clone for their hard work, then hurriedly said goodbye and headed to the next spiritual peak.

However, while Li Mu was devoting himself wholeheartedly to inspecting the seven main peaks of the Seven Gods Mountain and was busy checking the growth of the seven spiritual fields, a test concerning Xueer's life and death was being staged in the retreat room of the Qixuan Sect's master. .

At this time, Xueer closed her eyes tightly and sat quietly on the stone bed in the training room. There was a faint purple light surrounding her body. This was after she took the legendary 'Xuanshuang Purple Fruit' The vision produced.

After Xueer took the 'Xuanshuang Purple Fruit', she immediately felt a fiery power rising from her dantian and quickly spreading throughout her body. Her body seemed to have turned into a furnace, and the temperature kept gathering and rising, as if it was going to burn her whole body.

This power surged crazily in her meridians, like a wild flood hitting all obstacles. Xueer felt as if she was at the center of the storm, and the terrifying icy air gathered in her body, raging crazily.

Xue'er's delicate body couldn't help but tremble under the impact of this huge force, as if it might collapse at any time. (End of chapter)
