Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

"Who is this Lord Aoki?"

Most of the more than a dozen books on spiritual cultivation were written by True Lord Aoki. Li Mu was a little worried that this person was someone who deceived the world and stole his reputation.

"This is no longer the True Monarch of Nascent Soul, but the ancestor of Taiyi Sect. Ancestor Qingmu was a spiritual planter in his early years. He wrote more than a dozen masterpieces on spiritual plant cultivation and was worshiped by countless spiritual planters. As a bible book, the book "Accelerated Cultivation Method of Spiritual Plants" in your hand is the latest work of Patriarch Qingmu. It introduces several methods of accelerating the cultivation of spiritual plants, such as: increasing the spiritual power of spiritual plants and arranging special environments. The spiritual treasure, the magic circle that increases the flow of time,...," the female shopkeeper of the library looked at Li Mu and introduced eloquently.

After hearing the female shopkeeper's introduction, Li Mu was immediately moved. Arranging spiritual treasures in special environments and formations to increase the flow of time must be extremely difficult. However, using these methods can shorten the maturity time of spiritual plants!

If the maturity time of the spiritual plant can be shortened, and coupled with the innate magical power he can absorb from spiritual energy, it will be a perfect match. At this moment, Li Mu can't wait to have the little green bottle that Old Demon Han has.

"How can I sell this book?" Li Mu asked, already excited, but his expression remained unchanged.

"This is a 500-piece spiritual book. Buy one and get one free. If you buy this "Spiritual Plant Accelerated Cultivation Method", you will get a copy of "The Basic Detailed Record of Spiritual Plants" written by Aoki Shin-kun." The female shopkeeper took another copy. Putting a book together, he gestured.

After hearing this, Li Mu frowned. He didn't think the other party's offer was too high, but that it was too low. He couldn't help but suspect there was something wrong with the book.

"The books written by True Monarch Yuanying are selling so cheaply. Is there any inside story behind this? Is this book incomplete or does the content have errors?" Li Mu looked at the female shopkeeper and directly asked the doubts in his heart.

"Guest, you misunderstood. This book is a printed version. It has been printed in countless copies and is widely circulated in Nanling Continent. The book records accelerated cultivation techniques and formations. Most of the contents only stay in At the superficial theoretical level, the core technical content is not recorded, so that’s why the price is so high!” The female shopkeeper of the library smiled slightly and explained Li Mu’s doubts.

…

Okay!

I thought I was getting a good book, but in the end it was a reasoning 'paper' without recording the 'core content'.

However, after all, this book is the work of Lord Yuanying, and it should have certain guiding significance. It costs 500 spirits, and you can buy one and get one free, which is not expensive.

"Where are the spiritual plant exercises books! How to sell them?" Li Mu looked at the exercises books.

"Guest, Withering Art, Spirit Transformation Art, Soil Testing Art, Ground Plowing Art, Harvesting Art, Drying Art,..., these are all yellow-level low-level spells, a total of thirteen spells, paper version: 80 There is one copy of the lower spirit, and there is also the inheritance jade slip version, and the jade slip version requires: 7 spirit copies." The female shopkeeper of the library looked at Li Mu with a smile and introduced.

If there is a jade slip version, it is naturally more appropriate to buy the jade slip version.

By investing your spiritual consciousness into the jade slips of inheritance, you can receive the inheritance of spells. There is no need to read the spell book on paper, and it is better to study it slowly and practice it over and over again.

However, you get what you pay for, and this version of the jade slips is so expensive that it costs 7 pieces per piece.

"The jade slip version is too expensive. If you want all thirteen spells, can it be cheaper?" Li Mu looked at the female shopkeeper of the library and asked thoughtfully.

Hearing this, the female shopkeeper's eyes lit up: "If the customer wants everything, I can give you a 10% discount."

"Thirty percent off! I also want to buy other exercise books." Li Mu bargained decisively.

"I definitely can't give you 30% off." The female shopkeeper of the library refused with a smile. She looked at Li Mu and continued to push books and said: "I don't know, what other Kung Fu books does the guest need? I see that you are about to build a foundation, why don't you get a copy of " "Keys to Building a Foundation", or "Seventeen Tips on Building a Foundation" by Zhenren Yuan Hong,..."

Li Mu's eyes lit up. The female shopkeeper pushed the book to his heart. He was confused about what he needed to pay attention to when building a foundation, and how to build a foundation!

"Yeah! I really want a book on foundation building. Is there any book that introduces foundation building above the ninth level of Qi refining?" Li Mu looked at the female shopkeeper of the library and asked curiously.

"Building a foundation above the ninth level of Qi refining should be an ancient foundation building method. The reason why the foundation building state is called Foundation building is because during the period from Qi refining to foundation building, when laying the foundation, the higher the level of Qi refining, the lower the foundation." The stronger it is, the more difficult it is to build the foundation. Now, the mainstream method is to take the foundation building pill to forcibly build the foundation at the ninth level of Qi refining." The female shopkeeper of the library explained with a smile.

After saying that, the female shopkeeper of the library went to the bookshelf, rummaged for a while, took out an old book and handed it to Li Mu, saying: "This "Nanling Chronicle" contains descriptions of ancient foundation building methods, as well as many things that happened in the The great historical chronicle of Nanling Continent.”

"Oh! Since the foundation of the ancient foundation-building method is more solid, why is it not popular? The mainstream has become taking foundation-building pills and forcibly building the foundation? Why not use the ancient method to build the foundation! The higher the cultivation level during the Qi-refining period, the better the foundation-building The stronger you become in the future!" Li Mu took the "Nan Ling Chronicle", looked at the female shopkeeper of the library, and asked in confusion.

The female shopkeeper smiled slightly and explained: "Guest, the popular foundation building method has its own reasons. In ancient times, in Nanling Continent, the spiritual energy was richer than now, and various cultivation resources were abundant. There were not so many monks. Ancient monks The cultivation is very efficient, and they can easily reach the limit of the Qi refining period and build the foundation by themselves without taking the foundation building pill. This makes their foundation extremely stable, so the ancient monks can easily reach the height of becoming gods and Mahayana or above."

After a pause, the female shopkeeper explained with a smile: "Now, the situation is different. Today's monks are so numerous that they are countless. The large-scale spiritual veins of Lingshan are occupied by sects and demon spirits, without the assistance of foundation-building pills. Continuing the ancient method to build the foundation, 99% of Qi refining monks will probably only stay in the Qi refining stage for the rest of their lives."

Li Mu suddenly realized that the reason was that there were too many people! There are not enough training resources.

"In addition, the ancient foundation-building method has extremely strict qualification requirements. Only those with outstanding qualifications, spiritual body, and Tao body qualifications can do it. This is also the reason why the ancient foundation-building method is gradually forgotten." The female shopkeeper finally said added.

"Oh! If we continue to use the ancient foundation building method, which level will this Qi refining reach?" Li Mu nodded and then asked.

"The limit of Qi refining seems to be related to personal qualifications. I don't know the details. It seems to be mentioned in "Nan Ling Chronicle". Guest, why don't you buy this book and read it yourself!" The female shopkeeper smiled slightly. , gestured.

"Okay! How many spiritual stones does this book cost?" Li Mu responded helplessly, completely falling into the trap of this shrewd female shopkeeper.

"The "Nan Ling Chronicle" is not expensive. It only costs 300 lower spirits." The female shopkeeper of the library said with a smile.

"Guest, if you want to imitate ancient methods to build foundations, you should know about the living conditions of monks in ancient times. There is a "Nanling Ancient Chronicle", which records a large number of various true spirits, mythical beasts, strange people and strange people on Nanling Continent in ancient times. thing."

"Also, my guest, if you use the ancient foundation-building method, you will also need some special resources to assist in your practice. Here is the "Secrets of Ancient Cultivation",..."

…

When she met a Bai Ding customer who was full of intellectual curiosity like Li Mu, the female shopkeeper of the library was completely relaxed and recommended some 'good books' to him endlessly.
