Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

On the Tribulation Platform, under the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation, the blue-eyed golden ape's body was ten feet long, like a golden hill, its golden hair sparkling and shining with dazzling spiritual light, its eyes were as deep as a blue lake, it looked up at the thunderclouds in the sky, its blue eyes revealed fearlessness and determination.

As the thunder became more frequent and the dark clouds gathered denser, a silver lightning suddenly streaked across the sky and struck straight towards the golden ape on the tribulation platform.

The golden ape roared towards the sky, the sound shook the earth, and golden light shone brightly on its body. Its giant fist condensed all the golden energy between heaven and earth, and it punched towards the thunder, instantly emitting a golden light.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the golden light and the thunder collided violently in the air. The golden and silver energies intertwined, bursting out with dazzling light. The powerful energy shock wave spread all around, shaking the heaven and earth.

Jieyun seemed to be angered by the golden ape.
The second thunder, the third thunder, the fourth thunder,..., continuously broke through the clouds and struck down, like dense arrows, shooting out madly from the thunderclouds and covering the golden ape.

Faced with the successive thunders, the golden ape showed no fear. Instead, it aroused its ferocious momentum. Floating in the air in the thunder, it withstood the thunders and punched again and again, fighting against the laws of heaven and earth.

Countless lightning snakes were running across the golden ape's body. The blue-eyed golden ape roared towards the sky, like a giant beast from the ancient times. Its voice was full of defiance and indomitable spirit.

With the bombardment of the thunder, the golden hair on the golden ape became more dazzling, and each hair contained endless power. Under the reflection of the thunder, the rough face seemed calmer and more determined in the midst of the violence.

The calamity clouds gathered denser and denser, and the power of thunder became stronger and stronger, but the golden ape became more and more courageous. Its body seemed so small in the thunder calamity, but its tenacity and indomitable spirit made people feel an indescribable shock.

Everyone watching the ceremony beside the Tribulation Platform was shocked by this scene.

Fang Shixin couldn't help but look at Li Mu, and said excitedly: "Sect Master, how did you do it? Fellow Daoist Jin has not only made great progress in his cultivation, but his character has also been greatly improved. He still has enough strength to face such a powerful True Spirit Thunder Tribulation. This True Spirit Thunder Tribulation has most likely been overcome."

"Yes! Fellow Daoist Jin not only has a strong body, but what is more rare is that he possesses such an indomitable will. Under the true spirit thunder tribulation, many creatures will be afraid, but it can go against the current and become more courageous as the battle goes on. This spirit is truly precious." Qin Wentong nodded repeatedly in admiration. He looked at Li Mu with sincere admiration.

In just over a decade, the blue-eyed golden ape with ordinary bloodline has undergone such earth-shaking changes at such a young age and has such a solid foundation. All of this is due to Li Mu's means.

If the blue-eyed golden ape can survive this calamity, he will be able to achieve a seventh-level true spirit.

That’s a seventh-level true spirit!
Countless demon kings seek it but cannot obtain it. Once one achieves true spirit, he will have a lifespan of ten thousand years. It is the guardian beast of many sects.

Li Mu's eyes flashed with a deep light, and he smiled and said, "The golden ape can achieve what it has today because of its own efforts. I just did my little bit. The real strong ones are always those who dare to challenge themselves and surpass their limits."

After hearing what Li Mu said, everyone was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and naturally did not believe it.

If it weren't for the miraculous means that Li Mu used, with the Blue-Eyed Golden Ape's qualifications and background, it would be almost impossible for it to cross such a huge gap in cultivation and achieve a seventh-level true spirit.

Everyone asked Li Mu about this matter, and their purpose was also to train a true spirit beast themselves. However, he was unwilling to reveal it, and there must be deep secrets and unspeakable hardships involved.

Facing the impatient and eager eyes of the crowd, Li Mu saw through their thoughts at a glance.

However, in order for the Blue-Eyed Golden Ape to successfully survive the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation, the resources and costs invested by Li Mu were not something they could afford.

The Soul Control Contract teaches him the Soul Devouring Body-Nurturing Technique that changes his physique, provides him with a constant supply of high-level elixirs and spiritual medicines, and provides him with a place in the extreme realm for hard training. Then, he can sharpen his fighting spirit in the Sword Tower, hone his mind in the Illusion Array, and use the Enlightenment Pill to improve his understanding...
Each item costs a huge price, which is even an unimaginable luxury for many sects.

Li Mu couldn't say it directly, so he smiled and said politely: "Everyone, the way to practice is to rely on oneself. External forces are only auxiliary after all. The golden ape does have my help, but it is more of its own persistence and hard work. If you also want to cultivate a true spirit beast, I suggest you start by improving your own cultivation! Otherwise, if you don't have a skill, it may be difficult to support it."

After hearing this, although everyone still felt unwilling, they also knew that what Li Mu said was true. No one could match his ability in both formation and weapon.

At this time, under the calamity cloud, the blue-eyed golden ape was still fighting against the true spirit thunder calamity. Its body was torn apart by the thunder, and its golden hair fluttered in the lightning. However, its eyes became more and more determined, and countless thunders crackled on its body, as if they could only temper its body.

As the calamity cloud dissipated, the power of thunder gradually weakened. Finally, a brilliant golden light burst out from the center of the calamity cloud and rushed straight into the sky.

The figure of the blue-eyed golden ape gradually appeared in the golden light. Its aura became deep and powerful. A powerful pressure of the true spirit emanated from it, making everyone around it feel a little palpitated.

"Success! The golden ape really survived the true spirit thunder tribulation!" Fang Shixin shouted excitedly.

Everyone cheered as well. They were happy for the blue-eyed golden ape's successful survival of the true spirit thunder tribulation.

"Master!" The blue-eyed golden ape absorbed the spiritual dew of thunder tribulation. It immediately transformed into a human form and flew in front of Li Mu, with crystal tears flashing in its eyes.

The blue-eyed golden ape bowed deeply to Li Mu and said with tears in his eyes: "Master, I have no way to repay you for your cultivation of me. It is you who gave me a new life and the opportunity to advance to the True Spirit Realm. I will always remember this kindness in my heart!"

Looking at the blue-eyed golden ape, Li Mu's eyes flashed with satisfaction. He smiled and helped it up: "No need to thank each other, get up quickly!"

"Xiao Jin, you have just survived the true spirit thunder tribulation, and your body still needs some time to recover. Now, it is important for you to rest first!" Li Mu paused, looked at the blue-eyed golden ape and gestured.

Xiao Jin nodded respectfully and said, "Yes, Master. I will follow your instructions and go down to have a good rest."

After saying that, Xiao Jin bowed deeply to Li Mu again, then turned around and nodded to everyone. His figure flashed and turned into a golden light and disappeared on the spot.

After watching the golden ape leave, Li Mu looked at everyone and said, "Okay, Xiao Jin is going to rest, everyone go home!"

"Master, we will take our leave first!" Everyone bowed to Li Mu and then dispersed.

Watching them leave, Li Mu glanced at Xue'er, whose face was full of joy and smile, and couldn't help but sigh and give a wry smile.

The golden ape successfully survived the true spirit thunder tribulation, but what made him worried were Xue'er and Xiaobai. As for Xiaowa, he had the inheritance of a Taoist master and the qualifications of a red fire phoenix, so his background was there, so he didn't need to worry about them surviving the true spirit thunder tribulation.

"Brother Li, what's the matter? Did I do something wrong?"

Seeing Li Mu giving a bitter smile when he looked at her, Xue'er couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, and asked him with some grievance.

Looking at Xue'er's clear and bright eyes, Li Mu's heart softened. He stretched out his hand to rub her hair and quickly explained, "No, it's just that I'm worried that you and Xiaobai will encounter danger when you advance to the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation. Although you have the blood of the Sky Fox, your training in body and character is still insufficient. Xiaobai is a Gu Spirit who has attained enlightenment, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to get through the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation safely." "Oh, so that's what you're worried about." Hearing this, Xue'er couldn't help but smile, with a firm light flashing in her eyes. She took Li Mu's hand and solemnly assured, "Brother Li, don't worry! From today on, I will practice harder and won't let you worry. I will definitely be able to successfully get through the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation!"

"As for Xiaobai, let's help it together!" Xue'er paused and said seriously.

Looking at Xue'er's eyes full of determination and confidence, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I believe you! Let's work together to not only help you, but also help Xiaobai overcome this difficulty. "

After a pause, Li Mu looked towards the Seven Gods Peak and said with a smile: "If nothing unexpected happens, I might be ahead of you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu used the Five Elements Escape Technique and disappeared from the spot instantly with Xue'er.

The next moment, Li Mu and Xue'er appeared in the palace of Jinjian Peak, next to a golden spiritual field.

The golden sword chrysanthemums were seen as a golden ocean with surging waves. Each sword chrysanthemum emitted a dazzling light and swayed in the wind, as if countless sharp swords were dancing. The clear sound of swords echoed in the empty spiritual field, revealing an incomparably majestic sword energy.

Under the innate magical power - identifying all spirits, the attributes of the Golden Sword Chrysanthemum appeared clearly in Li Mu's eyes.

【Golden Sword Chrysanthemum (Mature Stage)】

[Grade: fifth-grade spiritual plant]

[Characteristics: dazzling golden light, capable of breaking through strong points, restrained golden energy, self-generated sword energy]

[Status: Sword energy accompanies the body, Jinfeng sword intention accompanies the body, and growth is rapid]

[Golden Peak Sword Chrysanthemum, a fifth-level spiritual plant, naturally contains golden sword energy, shining with golden light, accompanied by sword energy, plant age: 107 years, growth requirements: a place where the energy of gold and primordial energy converges, accompanied by sword energy, abundant spiritual power, twenty years of growth, the sword intent begins to appear, thirty years of sharp sword leaves, fifty years of sword chrysanthemum blooms, and the stamens are nurtured with the essence of sword intent, the mature Golden Peak Sword Chrysanthemum of a hundred years of medicinal age is one of the core materials for refining the Golden Soul Pill. ]

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, this batch of sword chrysanthemums have matured. Li Mu is extremely happy, but he has not harvested them immediately. He is waiting for the remaining six spiritual peaks to plant several spiritual plants: Fire Scale Flame Fruit, Blue Spirit Moon Lotus, Yellow Vein Fruit, Green Vine Spirit Sunflower; Fantasy Yin Grass, Jade Yang Spirit Fruit, to enter the maturity period together and be harvested together to obtain the plant spiritual light balls.

Now, it's almost time.

Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the golden spiritual field in front of him, and showed a happy smile.

Being brought to the spiritual field for no apparent reason, combined with what Li Mu said, made Xue'er slightly stunned and confused.

Xue'er looked at Li Mu in confusion and asked, "Brother Li, are you also going to advance to the Refining Void stage? But isn't your cultivation at the middle stage of the Spiritualization stage? Aren't you not at that stage yet?"

Li Mu looked at Xue'er and made up an excuse, explaining: "Indeed, my cultivation is still insufficient, but the method I practice is somewhat special. The spiritual plants planted in the Seven Gods Peak have entered the maturity stage, and their maturity will provide me with an excellent cultivation environment. When I fully absorb the essence of these spiritual plants, my cultivation will have a qualitative leap."

"Really? That's great!" Xue'er's eyes lit up and she was excitedly happy for Li Mu.

"Is the time coming?"

At this time, a figure quietly appeared behind Li Mu. It was the incarnation of the spirit stationed at Jinjian Peak. He walked up to Li Mu step by step, his face as cold as ice, and asked Li Mu.

Li Mu turned around and his eyes met with the Gold Element Incarnation Avatar. He pondered for a moment and said, "Not so fast. There are still a few spiritual fields that need you to guard."

Li Mu decided to postpone the execution of the plan to condense the seven incarnations into the Refining Void Realm.

Firstly, it was too difficult to condense seven incarnations of the spirit into the realm of refining emptiness at the same time. His nebula visualization method had not yet been improved, and Li Mu was not ready yet. Secondly, although the high-level spiritual plants in the seven extreme spiritual fields did not require too much energy to care for, they were far apart. Li Mu decided to continue to let the seven incarnations of the spirit take care of them to save him the trouble of going back and forth.

"I see!"

The golden clone who was connected to Li Mu's heart was connected by some invisible bond. He immediately sensed Li Mu's thoughts and nodded with relief.

Li Mu smiled slightly, turned his head to look at the blooming Golden Peak Sword Chrysanthemums, raised his hand and released the gold-based magic - Harvest Magic.

The next second, a golden light was released from Li Mu's hand and flew through the roots of the golden peak sword chrysanthemums.

With a "swish" sound, a large number of Golden Peak Sword Chrysanthemums fell down, and at their roots revealed golden light balls that only he could see.

Seeing these golden light balls, Li Mu's expression lit up with joy. With a sweep of his spiritual sense, the golden light balls turned into golden rays of light, which immediately gathered towards him like moths to a flame.

[Innate magical power - Plant Spirit Absorption takes effect. You absorb a group of plant spirits, innate gold energy +212, sword energy power +33]

[Innate magical power - Plant Spirit Absorption takes effect. You absorb a group of plant spirits, innate gold energy +169, sword energy power +29]

……

In an instant, densely packed reminders of plant spirit absorption appeared in the log column of the panel. Li Mu was overjoyed and harvested more than ten acres of Golden Peak Sword Chrysanthemums in the spiritual field with one harvesting technique.

Nearly a thousand acres of Golden Peak Sword Chrysanthemum were enough for him to obtain an astronomical number of plant spiritual light balls.

"Brother Li, quickly put away the sword chrysanthemum!"

Seeing Li Mu staring in a daze with joy, and being indifferent to the fallen spiritual plants in the spiritual field, Xue'er quickly waved her hand and put each Golden Peak Sword Chrysanthemum into the storage ring.

Xue'er collected the spiritual plants at a very fast speed. The Golden Peak Sword Chrysanthemums were collected into the ring like golden spiritual swords. However, this speed was still not as shocking as the crazy growing numbers on the virtual panel in front of Li Mu.

Li Mu came to his senses, coughed awkwardly, and quickly lent a hand, releasing the harvesting technique while collecting the plant spirit light balls and the golden peak sword chrysanthemum. (End of this chapter)
