Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Facing Wan Renlang's praise, Li Mu just smiled and didn't take it too seriously. No matter how much praise he received, it was not as practical as benefits.

When he accepted the commission to refine three Taoist weapons from Wanbao Pavilion, the remuneration had been negotiated in advance, and providing a few more spiritual materials for refining was just a bonus. What was more important was the spiritual objects that Wanbao Pavilion could provide him.

"Manager Wan, if there are any good spiritual objects up for auction here, could you let me take a look first?" Li Mu smiled and made his request to Wan Renlang.

The cross-domain auction held by Wanbao Pavilion was quite grand this time, attracting strong people from various domains to participate. It must have collected a lot of high-level spiritual objects, including various rare items. Li Mu naturally wanted to take a look in advance to see if there was anything he was interested in.

Hearing this, Wan Renlang smiled and nodded, "Of course no problem, Master Li, I'll take you to the treasure house and see the real thing firsthand!"

Li Mu nodded happily, and following Wan Renlang's guidance, the two left the reception hall, walked through several corridors, passed through layers of strict guards, and arrived at a rather secret vault.

The secret vault is made of fifth-order basalt, which is extremely solid. It is equipped with numerous prohibitions and protective arrays. There are also fusion monks and refining monks guarding it layer by layer, so even masters can break in.

Arriving at the door of the secret room, Wan Renlang spent a lot of effort, both lifting the ban and opening the magic circle, and finally the door of the secret room slowly opened.

As the door opened, a strong spiritual energy blew in, as if the air in the entire secret room was filled with spiritual objects. Li Mu took a deep breath and felt relaxed, as if he was bathing in a sea of ​​spiritual energy.

"Master Li, this is the treasure house of our pavilion. The spiritual objects prepared for this auction are all in it. Please come in!" Wan Renlang stepped aside, made a gesture of invitation to Li Mu, and greeted him respectfully with a bright smile.

Li Mu is a weapon-refining saint who can refine seventh-level Taoist weapons. Wan Renlang is thinking about how to deepen cooperation with him. It would be most appropriate to let him see the treasure house and show the strong foundation of Wanbao Pavilion.

Li Mu stepped into the treasury and his eyes were immediately attracted by the dazzling array of high-level spiritual objects in front of him.

One after another, high-level spiritual objects were either suspended in the air or displayed on a jade table. Each one emitted a unique light and fluctuation. There were hundreds and thousands of them, countless in number.

Before, Li Mu had the honor of entering the Snow Fox Clan’s treasury and witnessed many grand scenes in the Xuantian Sword Sect. However, compared with the spiritual objects treasured in the Wanbao Pavilion’s treasury, the two were worlds apart in terms of quality and quantity.

Li Mu walked to a piece of jade that was gleaming with a faint light. It was a piece of top-grade spiritual essence that contained a huge amount of spiritual energy, enough to make any cultivator excited. However, Li Mu's gaze only lingered for a moment and then turned to a more rare spiritual object on the side.

Li Mu's gaze fell on a huge stone placed in the warehouse. It emitted a faint starlight, was nearly ten feet high, simple blue-gray, and inconspicuous. However, with his innate magical power - identifying all spirits, its attributes were clearly presented in his eyes.

【Meteorite Crystal Core】

[Grade: Seventh-Level Spirit Mine]

[Features: Repels spirits and separates thoughts, indestructible, forms its own realm, restrains and returns to the ordinary, and permanently establishes important principles. ]

[Meteorite crystal core, seventh-level spiritual ore, a core meteorite crystal core produced after the self-detonation of a fallen star in old age, weight: 15 million jin, self-weighted, compatible with all spirits, introverted spirituality, material not obvious. ]

It is actually one of the main materials for refining Wanjian Mountain.

"Master Li really has a good eye. This piece of star meteorite crystal is an excellent material for refining weapons. It is also the finale of this auction. Its value is immeasurable. Master Li, if you like it, you can take it away." Noticing Li Mu's gaze, Wan Renlang was delighted and immediately introduced it enthusiastically.

Li Mu nodded slightly and thanked gratefully: "Thank you for your help, General Manager Wan. I won't be polite."

"Haha, Master Li, you're welcome. Just take whatever you like." Wan Renlang's hearty laughter echoed in the empty warehouse, and his eyes were flashing with admiration and expectation for Li Mu.

The more spiritual materials Li Mu obtained, the more valuable Taoist weapons he would be able to refine later. If he wanted to sell them, he would definitely consider Wanbao Pavilion. Both in and out, there would be profits.

Li Mu nodded gratefully and scanned the spiritual creatures again.

Li Mu's gaze suddenly locked onto an inconspicuous corner, where a seemingly ordinary ice-blue spiritual object was placed. It exuded a hint of chilliness and seemed out of place with the surrounding spiritual objects.

Li Mu's heart moved, he walked forward, and his innate magical power - identifying all spirits displayed its attributes.

[Ice Soul Crystal]

[Grade: seventh-grade spiritual material]

[Features: Soul of extreme cold, frost hidden inside the crystal, freezing everything, cold luster, crystal clear]

[Ice Soul Spirit Crystal, a seventh-level ice spirit, is a cold crystal that has condensed from an extremely cold place for tens of thousands of years. It has a cold luster and contains unfathomable ice power. It contains the essence of ice soul when the world was first condensed. It is closely connected with the cold air between heaven and earth, and can stimulate the power of extreme cold, and has the amazing ability to freeze the universe. The surface of the ice soul crystal has a cold luster and is as transparent as a mirror, as if it is sealing an endless world of ice. Once the extreme cold power contained in it is stimulated, it can cause the world to freeze and the wind to be biting, releasing a terrifying power that chills the bone marrow. ]

"Ten Thousand Years of Ice Soul," Li Mu asked in surprise.

"Master Li has a really sharp eye. This Ice Soul Crystal was sealed by the Soul Sealing Protection Array. The cold power has not leaked out and it looks ordinary. But I didn't expect Master Li to see through it at a glance." Wan Renlang praised Li Mu's eyesight.

"This Ten Thousand Year Old Ice Soul is a spiritual creature born in a glacier in the far north. After ten thousand years of sedimentation, the icy power contained in it has reached an extremely astonishing level. It is extremely rare and suitable for refining cold-attributed Taoist weapons. At the same time, for cultivators who practice ice-based exercises, it is undoubtedly an invaluable treasure for improving their skills." Wan Renlang added with a smile.

Li Mu nodded, thinking to himself, Even if this ten thousand year old ice soul is not used to refine Dao soldiers, it can also be used by Xue'er for auxiliary cultivation.

"Manager Wan, I want this Millennium Ice Soul." Li Mu smiled slightly and said to Wan Renlang.

"Okay, Master Li, please take it." Wan Renlang nodded quickly.

Li Mu smiled slightly, then put the Ice Soul Spirit Crystal in front of him into the Jiuzang Spirit Pearl.

Next, Li Mu took more than a dozen high-level spiritual objects from Wan Renlang. Most of them were seventh-level spiritual materials for refining weapons. Some of them were rare and hard to find. Their value soon exceeded that of several Taoist weapons.

Wan Renlang's face gradually became a little solemn, a little reluctant, but his eyes flashed with excitement, and his expression became quite complicated for a while. The high-level spiritual objects selected by Li Mu were extremely precious, and they were all top-grade materials needed for refining. Each one was enough to cause a rush of outsiders. Wan Renlang was a little surprised at Li Mu's generosity, but he was more worried about the auction.

Li Mu alone took away many fine items in this auction, which forced Wan Renlang to consider whether the next auction could still attract buyers' attention.

Seeing Li Mu looking at another seventh-level spiritual material, Wan Renlang couldn't help but sigh: "Master Li is really generous. These spiritual objects are all excellent materials for refining high-level Taoist soldiers."

"Haha, Manager Wan is feeling distressed?" Li Mu laughed and joked.

"No, no, it's our honor that Master Li can take such good care of Wanbaolou." Wan Renlang waved his hands quickly, showing a sincere smile on his face, and said embarrassedly: "It's just that the next auction..."

Wan Renlang didn't finish his words, but Li Mu knew what he meant. All the good things had been chosen by him first, and he was afraid that it would affect the progress of the auction!

Li Mu's heart moved, and he smiled and said, "I understand Manager Wan's concerns. Let's put it this way. I happen to have a collection of high-level spiritual medicines. I don't know how to make pills, so it's useless to hide them. They should be able to add a lot of color to the auction."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu waved his hand and summoned a pile of jade boxes from the Jiuzang Lingzhu.

These jade boxes emitted a faint spiritual light, and one could tell at a glance that there were extraordinary things hidden inside. Wan Renlang's eyes were immediately attracted to these jade boxes. He couldn't help but walk forward and gently opened the lid of a jade box.

A refreshing fragrance instantly spread out, making people feel relaxed and happy. A hint of surprise flashed in Wan Renlang's eyes. He saw three green fruits in the jade box. The hint of fruity fragrance made his mind clear and slightly improved.

"Master Li, what kind of spiritual fruit is this?" Wan Renlang looked at Li Mu in surprise and asked for confirmation.

"The Concentrating Spirit Fruit, this spiritual fruit grows from a seventh-level spiritual wood - the Yuanshen Wood. It takes ten thousand years to grow and a thousand years to bear fruit. It has the ability to enhance spiritual consciousness when taken raw, and it is also one of the main ingredients for refining the Guixu Pill." Li Mu smiled and gestured.

"The Soul-Concentrating Yuan Fruit, it really is this thing." Wan Renlang exclaimed, his eyes filled with joy. He knew very well how precious this Soul-Concentrating Yuan Fruit was, not only because of its harsh growing conditions and its rarity, but also because it was of great help to the improvement of the spiritual awareness of high-level cultivators.

“Haha, Master Li is extraordinary. If this auction has the Soul-Concentrating Yuan Fruit, it will definitely attract Void-Refining cultivators to compete for it, and the popularity of the auction will be greatly increased.” Wan Renlang looked at Li Mu and said excitedly.

"Manager Wan, don't look at anything else." Li Mu smiled and gestured.

"Of course! Of course!" Wan Renlang nodded excitedly, and became more and more looking forward to the remaining jade boxes.

As expected, Wan Renlang successively took out high-level spiritual medicines such as 'Jiuxu Ganoderma', 'Medicine King Ganoderma', 'Medicine King Ganoderma', 'Yangyan Golden Ganoderma', etc. from the jade box. Their age was either thousands or tens of thousands of years, and all of them were the best of the best.

"Master Li, you, you robbed the immortal's spiritual medicine?" Wan Renlang's shock was beyond words. He stared at Li Mu with wide eyes, shocked to the extreme by these high-level spiritual medicines in front of him.

Li Mu smiled slightly and shook his head, saying, "No, it's just that I have traveled around for many years and made many friends. I got the money from some Taoist friends who entrusted me to refine weapons, or it was gained by chance. It's just accumulated over time."

Hearing this, Wan Renlang nodded in relief. Li Mu was a weapon-refining saint who could refine seventh-level Taoist weapons and a master of formations. At the same time, he was also a guest elder of the Xuantian Sword Sect. He had a wide range of friends, so it was normal for him to accumulate so many top-grade spiritual medicines.

"Thank you Master Li for your trust. I will definitely help you sell this batch of spiritual medicine at a good price." There was a light of determination and gratitude flashing in Wan Renlang's eyes. He knew the value of this batch of spiritual medicine and also understood Li Mu's trust.

"You are too polite, Steward Wan. These spiritual medicines are of no use to me. It is a good use of them to be auctioned in your building." Li Mu responded with a smile and asked, "I still have some high-level spiritual pills here. Steward Wan, please help me deal with them as well."

As he spoke, Li Mu once again summoned dozens of jade bottles from the Jiuzang Lingzhu.

Wan Renlang's attention was instantly attracted, and he hurriedly used his spiritual sense to carefully examine the elixir in the elixir bottle. As his spiritual sense went deeper, his face became filled with surprise, as if he had seen something incredible.

Wan Renlang raised his head suddenly, looked at Li Mu in shock, and asked in a trembling voice: "Master Li, these elixirs..."

Li Mu smiled and nodded, saying: "Sixty bottles of elixirs, most of which are sixth-level elixirs, and some are seventh-level elixirs. These elixirs were refined by the Alchemy Saint Master Qing Yangzi. Not only are they incredibly potent, but each one also has its own unique effect."

Wan Renlang took a deep breath, calmed down his inner shock, and asked anxiously: "Master Li, could you please give me a detailed introduction to the effects of these elixirs?"

Li Mu nodded and began to introduce them one by one: "This bottle is the 'Tian Gang Refining Spirit Pill'. After taking it, it can directly improve the spiritual power of the cultivators of the Refining Void and Fusion stages. It is of great help in improving the realm of law and the realm of Tao. Its value is self-evident."

"And this bottle of 'Earthly Evil Body Tempering Pill' can temper the bodies of cultivators in the Void Refining and Heti Realms, making them tougher. For cultivators who practice physical techniques, it is an indispensable treasure."

"These three bottles are: the sixth-level 'Blood Source Pill', which can quickly replenish the cultivator's Qi and blood, and has a miraculous effect on healing; it also has a miraculous effect on beast control; and these bottles are the sixth-level 'Dragon Bone Refining Marrow Pill', which can strengthen the bones and bone marrow of beast control and improve the bloodline qualifications of high-level beast control;"

"These three bottles are sixth-level 'Soul Essence Pills'. After taking them, they can strengthen the soul essence..."

……

Following Li Mu's introduction, Wan Renlang's eyes were filled with ecstasy and excitement.

After Li Mu finished introducing all the elixirs, Wan Renlang asked eagerly: "Master Li, this Master Qingyangzi is a great master in the alchemy world. I have never had the chance to meet him. Master Li, may I ask how you got these precious elixirs? Where is Master Qingyangzi now? If I have the opportunity to visit him in person, I will be very grateful."

Li Mu smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm afraid that General Manager Wan will be disappointed! Master Qingyangzi's whereabouts are erratic, and I met him by chance. He has been obsessed with alchemy all his life and doesn't care about fame and fortune. These elixirs are the reward for me helping him refine a few Taoist tools. As for his current specific whereabouts, I don't know."

Upon hearing this, Wan Renlang showed a look of regret on his face, but then he cheered up again and said, "Even so, I am very lucky to get Master Qingyangzi's elixir. Master Li, I will make proper arrangements for this batch of elixirs to ensure that they can be auctioned at the best price. At the same time, I will also use Wanbaolou's channels to try my best to find the whereabouts of Master Qingyangzi. If I have the opportunity to introduce him to Wanbaolou, it will be an honor for Wanbaolou."

Li Mu nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Chief Manager Wan. This batch of elixirs is of no use to me. It can be auctioned in your building, which can be regarded as making the best use of them."

Wan Renlang said quickly: "Master Li, you are too polite. It is Wanbaolou's honor to cooperate with you. This batch of elixirs will surely bring us an unprecedented grand occasion."

The two smiled at each other and tacitly stopped talking about Qing Yangzi. (End of this chapter)
