Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

In VIP Room No. 1, Li Mu seemed to be oblivious to the noise from the outside world. He tightly grasped the bidding order in his hand, waiting for the end of the bidding period, ready to intervene in the bidding at any time.

However, what was strange was that after Li Mu participated in the bidding, the other bidders seemed to have agreed beforehand and collectively gave up on the broken boundary stone.

As the bidding time expired and the hammer fell, Wan Tiancheng announced that the Broken Boundary Stone was sold for 100 million high-quality spirit stones. He looked respectfully towards VIP Room No. 1 and congratulated, "Congratulations to VIP No. 1 for successfully bidding for the Broken Boundary Stone."

"We got them! Those guys really gave Elder Li face!"

Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu and smiled with some surprise.

"Hahaha, that's not true. Elder Li is the only weapon-refining saint in the spirit world who can refine Taoist weapons. If they take down the Shattered World Stone, no one will be able to refine the Cave Heaven Treasure. In the end, they still have to find Elder Li to refine it!" Sword Master Chen laughed and said happily.

Li Mu smiled calmly and said modestly, "You two sword masters are too kind."

The auction was still going on. On the auction stage, Wan Tiancheng announced passionately, "Next, let's take a look at the next treasure, a seventh-grade middle-grade Dao sword, Fentian, made by our senior guest refiner, Master Li!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire auction venue suddenly became boiling.

"Are the Dao soldiers finally going to be auctioned?"

"It's actually a Taoist soldier with fire attribute. I wonder what Taoist principle it is!"

"..."

The atmosphere in the entire auction hall was instantly ignited by the Seventh Rank Dao Sword. All the Void Refining Monks at the scene kept talking and looking towards the auction table, their eyes full of anticipation, eager to see the power of the Seventh Rank Dao Sword.

Wan Tiancheng looked at the reactions in the venue with satisfaction and waved his hand gently. The next moment, the auction table's teleportation array flashed and a sword box appeared. The white jade sword box was carved with intricate runes and there was a faint flow of spiritual energy. It was obviously specially customized to conceal the aura of Taoist swords.

Wan Tiancheng looked towards the VIP room and sensed the powerful thoughts locked on him by the masters. He smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and opened the sword box.

"Buzz!" With a sound of sword sound, a flash of red light instantly escaped from the sword box, emitting a terrifying high temperature. The red light was like the first ray of morning light at dawn, but it carried a terrifying high temperature that was enough to burn mountains and boil seas, and instantly filled the entire auction venue. The air seemed to be ignited, and even the space was slightly distorted by this power, forming tiny ripples. This was the first appearance of the seventh-level intermediate sword - Fentian.

The Burning Heaven Sword was blood red and crystal clear, as if it was condensed from the purest flames between heaven and earth. On the sword, there were complex and mysterious flame patterns flowing, exuding the terrifying sword intent of fire.

Fortunately, Wan Tiancheng was prepared. He raised his hand gently, and a gentle force surged out from his palm, wrapping around the Burning Heaven Sword that was dancing wildly like a silk thread, suppressing the sword's might.

At the same time, a powerful force emerged in the auction hall and turned into a thin shield, covering the auction platform and the surrounding audience seats, effectively isolating the high temperature released by Fentian, allowing everyone to safely appreciate the charm of this peerless Taoist sword.

"Everyone, please rest assured. Although Fentian's power is strong, under the careful arrangement of this pavilion, it will never cause any harm to you." Wan Tiancheng looked at Tai Xiao and smiled slightly. His voice was clearly heard by everyone and comforted the monks.

"Amazing!"

"Is this the majesty of the seventh-order Dao sword? It really lives up to its reputation!"

"The flame principle contained in this Burning Heaven Dao Sovereign is extraordinary! It actually possesses the power of heavenly fire. Master Li, your weapon refining skills have indeed reached a superb level!"

……

The exclamations of praise from the monks rose one after another. Some of them were amazed at the astonishing power of Fentian, while others admired the superb skills of the refiner, Master Li. The auction venue was filled with infinite yearning and awe for this treasure.

Seeing this, Wan Tiancheng was secretly proud of himself. He gently raised the Burning Heaven Sword, and with a "hum" sound, the sword drew a brilliant red line in the air. The sword light flashed, leaving a subtle flame track in the air that lingered for a long time. The fire sword intent was extremely rich and took on substance.

"My fellow Daoists, this Heaven-Burning Dao Sword is made of seventh-order Yanhuang Spirit Crystal as the main material, supplemented by a variety of rare fire-type spiritual ores. Not only is the material extraordinary, it also contains the Dao principle of 'Heaven-Burning Fire'. When this sword is unsheathed, it can draw the fire of heaven and earth and burn everything. What's even more valuable is that it has nurtured spirituality and can sense the will of its master and move according to the master's wishes. It is a rare fighting partner."

"When the sword was completed, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky, clouds of fire swirled around, and the sound of the sword shook the sky. It is a rare fire sword!"

There was an indescribable excitement in Wan Tiancheng's voice, which revealed the extraordinary nature of the Burning Heaven Sword and aroused infinite desire and longing in the hearts of the cultivators present.

"It's a good sword, but it's a pity that we can only look at it!"

"Who says it's not true? Only the master of a region and a strong person with the combined power are qualified to wield this kind of sword!"

"This Burning Heaven Sword will probably be auctioned off for a whopping price!"

"A Dao sword of this quality! I am so jealous!"

……

The numerous Void-Refining cultivators in the hall were discussing the issue heatedly. Some expressed endless yearning for the Burning Heaven Sword, while others sighed helplessly about their own strength and financial resources.

However, in this upsurge, nearly a hundred fire cultivators in the VIP room were determined to capture Fentian. They were of noble status and amazing strength. Some were elders of a sect, some were hidden masters, and some were the masters of a sect or a school.

They knew full well the importance of this sword in improving the sect's strength or their own cultivation. It would also help them break through to the next realm and build their foundation of Taoism. Therefore, even if the sword was very expensive, they were willing to pay for it.

The monks were gearing up for a fierce bidding war.

At this moment, Wan Tiancheng announced excitedly: "The starting price of the Burning Heaven Sword is 300 high-quality spirit stones. Each bid cannot be less than . Time limit: interest. Now, the auction begins!"

As Wan Tiancheng finished speaking, the atmosphere in the auction hall was instantly ignited, boiling like boiling water. "Eight hundred thousand! VIP Room No. 5 bids eight hundred thousand!"

"VIP Room 23! One hundred and thirty-five!"

……

Wan Tiancheng excitedly reported the latest bidding price for the Burning Heaven Sword. In less than thirty breaths, the bidding price changed greatly and exceeded two million high-quality spirit stones in a blink of an eye.

"Humph, how can a mere two million high-grade spirit stones be worthy of such a precious sword?" A sneer of contempt came from VIP Room No. 8, followed by a jaw-dropping offer that resounded throughout the venue: "Three million, this sword, my Xuanxiao Sect is determined to obtain it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the venue fell into silence, and then a heated discussion broke out. Three million high-quality spirit stones was almost an astronomical figure for most cultivators, enough to make many sects go bankrupt.

"VIP Room No. 8, it turns out to be the Xuanxiao Sect's Sect Master Xin!"

"As expected of the Xuanxiao Sect that controls the Xuanzhu Small World, they are indeed wealthy and powerful!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! This old Taoist has really broadened his horizons in this life!"

……

The numerous Void-Refining cultivators in the hall were discussing the matter heatedly, with awe and envy mixed in their voices. Everyone knew that Xuan Xiao Sect had an important position in the spiritual world, and Sect Master Xin was famous for his extraordinary strength and extraordinary methods.

This time, he personally transmitted the price through telepathy, suppressing all competitors in one fell swoop, trying to get the Burning Heaven Sword Force into his possession. For a moment, no one bid anymore in the auction.

However, at this moment when it seemed that the outcome was settled, another message came from VIP Room No. 5: "Three million and two hundred thousand. My Netherworld Sect is also interested in this sword and is willing to compete with the Xuanxiao Sect for superiority."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the conference hall froze instantly.

"The Netherworld Sect? They actually participated in the auction as well!"

Someone exclaimed in a low voice, obviously surprised by the joining of the Netherworld Sect. The Netherworld Sect and the Xuanxiao Sect, one dark and one bright, each has its own strengths in the outer realm of the spiritual world, but today they are facing off because of a Burning Heaven Sword, which is really rare.

Afterwards, more intense fluctuations of divine thoughts spread throughout the venue, and the bidding numbers continued to jump. It was obvious that more than one strong man was vying for the Burning Heaven Sword, and the bluffing plan of Sect Master Xin of the Xuanxiao Sect failed.

……

"The Xuanxiao Sect and the Youming Sect are both extraterritorial forces. As the overlord of the area north of the spiritual world, the Xuanxiao Sect's history can be traced back to ancient times. There are many powerful people in the sect, and they have inherited many ancient secrets and powerful magical powers. Sect Master Xin is the leader of the contemporary Xuanxiao Sect. His cultivation has reached the peak of the fusion realm. The Xuanzhu small world controlled by the Xuanxiao Sect is rich in resources and rich in spiritual energy. It has cultivated countless outstanding disciples for the sect, making the Xuanxiao Sect's influence in the spiritual world increasingly stronger."

"And the Netherworld Sect is hidden in the Desolate Star outside the domain, with its back to the Nine Netherworld. It is a corner forgotten by the world, but it is also a holy place for the Netherworld Sect's monks to practice. The Netherworld Sect has a unique practice method and is good at controlling the power of the Netherworld. It is known for its coldness and weirdness. There are also many masters in the sect, especially good at assassination and intelligence gathering, which makes them have a pivotal position in the outer domain of the spirit world. Although they usually act low-key, once they make a move, they can often set off a huge wave. This time, the Netherworld Sect participated in the auction of the Burning Heaven Sword, which is enough to show how much they value this treasure, and it also indicates that they may have some plans!"

In VIP Room No. 1, Master Feng Jian looked solemn as he introduced the situation of the two extraterritorial forces to Li Mu in detail.

"Outside the territory?"

Li Mu blinked his eyes, obviously not very clear about the place outside the domain that Master Feng Jian mentioned.

“Haha, Elder Li, you haven't reached the fusion realm yet, so naturally you don't know what's happening outside the four realms of the spiritual world. In fact, our realm is on a planet with abundant spiritual power, called Qi Ling Star, and the area surrounding Qi Ling Star and sixteen stars like it, we usually call it the 'inner realm'. However, outside Qi Ling Star, there is a vaster and more mysterious area with hundreds of planets, and that is the 'outside realm'.” Sword Master Chen laughed, took over the conversation, and introduced to Li Mu.

"The environment outside the domain is very different. Some stars have thin spiritual energy and poor living conditions; others are rich in resources and even hide ancient relics and secret treasures. These areas are often occupied by major sects, families or independent cultivators, forming their own unique sphere of influence. The Xuanxiao Sect and the Youming Sect are among the most powerful forces outside the domain. Their influence far exceeds that of Qiling Star and can even penetrate into the inner domain." Master Chen Jian went on to introduce.

"Yes, some cultivation resources outside the domain are scarcer than those inside the domain, and the fighting between sects is far more intense and cruel than that in the inner domain. In order to compete for resources, territory or inheritance, wars often break out between sects. The strong are respected and the weak are the law of survival there. Therefore, the sects that can gain a foothold outside the domain are all strong and have profound foundation." Master Feng nodded and added.

At this point, Sword Master Feng paused for a moment, and looked deeply at the Burning Heaven Sword that was being auctioned at the venue, and continued, "And a treasure like the Burning Heaven Sword that involves the essence of the Dao is enough to cause a huge stir, whether in the inner domain or the outer domain. It not only represents a powerful force, but it may also hide the key to a higher realm. Therefore, both the Xuanxiao Sect and the Netherworld Sect are willing to take it in their pockets at all costs."

"So that's it!" Li Mu suddenly realized. He had never thought that he was on a planet called Qi Ling Star, and he didn't know that there was such a vast and complex world outside Qi Ling Star.

Now, through this perspective, Li Mu finally understood the principle of the ninth-order divine formation - the Chaos Sealing Formation.

If the spirit world is on a spiritual power Qi Ling star, then the hundreds of planets outside the Qi Ling star are all contained in a galaxy, forming a star system. However, the ninth-level divine formation - the Chaos Sealing Formation, blocks the space-time channel from the outer galaxy, and also blocks the space-time channel from the spirit world to the previous fairyland.

“Our sect also has branch sects on other planets. Although those branch sects are not as large and profound as the headquarters in Zhongzhou Spiritual Domain, they also occupy a pivotal position on their respective planets. Elder Li, your cultivation is still shallow. When you break through to the realm of refining emptiness and your law domain is condensed and formed, and you can easily resist the pervasive power from the outer space, I can take you to see the conditions of those branch sects. By then, you will personally experience the vastness of the world outside the domain.” Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu and smiled encouragingly.

"Thank you, Master Feng, for your cultivation. I will practice diligently and accept the invitation as soon as possible." Li Mu nodded with a smile. He was also looking forward to seeing the world beyond the sky with his physical body.

As the conversation between the three deepened, three hundred breaths passed quietly, as if in the blink of an eye, and the crisp sound of the hammer falling at the auction of the Burning Heaven Sword could be heard from outside the VIP room.

The auction of the Burning Heaven Sword has come to an end. Wan Tiancheng loudly announced that the seventh-level Burning Heaven Sword was won by VIP Room No. 3 at a high price of 450 million high-quality spirit stones.

This scene not only demonstrated the fierce competition among the top forces for rare resources, but also made everyone present deeply feel the close connection between wealth and strength in the world of cultivation.

Witnessing this scene, Li Mu couldn't help but secretly click his tongue. He was somewhat surprised at the wealth held by these top forces, but at the same time he was very happy that he would reap a large amount of extra income from the commission of this auction.

Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen exchanged a meaningful look. At this moment, their level of importance for Li Mu quietly rose several levels.

A seventh-grade middle-grade Dao sword refined by Li Mu could be auctioned at such a high price. However, the number of seventh-grade upper-grade Dao swords refined by him for Xuantian Sword Sect is not small. (End of this chapter)
