Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Two days may be just a fleeting moment for the outside world, but earth-shaking changes have taken place in the Painting World Palace.

After the weapon spirit - the five-colored dragon completed the swallowing and transformation of the top-grade spirit stone and spirit liquid, its body grew larger, from about ten inches to half a meter long. After completing the transformation, not only did its size grow larger, but its aura also gained a bit of majesty and mystery. A circle of colorful spiritual light surrounded its body, forming circles of gorgeous ripples.

The space of the treasure house was full of spiritual energy, and the space barrier seemed to be even more solid. Li Mu stood in the center of the treasure house, looking at all these changes, his heart was filled with shock and joy. He released his spiritual sense with all his strength, but was unable to glimpse the boundary of the treasure house in the painting world.

You know, his spiritual sense can detect a distance of three hundred miles. Unexpectedly, a piece of broken boundary stone would cause such a huge change in the Painting World Treasure Palace.

"Master, thank you!"

The spirit of the treasure house - the five-colored dragon flew in front of Li Mu and spoke with a hint of excitement and gratitude in his voice.

"Haha, there's no need to thank each other, just take me to the spiritual field."

Li Mu laughed and gestured.

"Yes! Master, please!"

The five-colored dragon responded softly, and the next moment, Li Mu's figure flashed and was brought to the spiritual field by the five-colored dragon.

"The space of the treasure house has expanded nearly thirty times, and many spiritual lands cannot be dealt with in time. However, I have moved the many spiritual plants that you planted before, master, here without damaging them at all." The five-colored dragon spoke with some pride as it introduced the newly opened spiritual fields in front of Li Mu.

Suddenly, the view in front of me opened up. A vast expanse of land appeared before my eyes. Various spiritual plants were scattered on it in an orderly manner. Some of them were tall and upright, while others were short and bushy. The spiritual field was divided into multiple areas, and each area was planted with different kinds of spiritual herbs and trees. Some exuded medicinal fragrance, while others were emerald green... Many high-level spiritual plants were more vibrant with the blessing of abundant spiritual power.

"Master, I will transplant the Qingming Sword Bamboo there. After the treasure house was upgraded this time, an independent spiritual land was arranged for them to accompany the green bamboo forest." The five-colored dragon led Li Mu to a corner of the spiritual field and introduced the situation of the two spiritual bamboo fields.

There, a unique bamboo forest stands quietly, adding a touch of elegance and sharpness compared to the lush spiritual plants around it.

Qingming Sword Bamboo is a seventh-level spiritual plant, famous for its tenacity and restrained sword energy. It is a rare material for refining high-level flying swords and magic weapons. It is also the key for Li Mu to practice the Qingming Sword Sutra and absorb the Qingming plant spirit.

Before the treasure house space was upgraded, these Qingming Sword Bamboos often found it difficult to thrive due to the harsh growing conditions. Decades passed before the bamboo seeds barely broke through the soil.

Now, under the careful arrangement of the Five-Colored Dragon, they were transplanted to an independent spiritual land specially built for them, along with the auxiliary magic array that was arranged. Only the spirit of the treasure house could do this.

As for the large patch of green bamboo next to it, it is growing very well and the scale of the bamboo forest is also very optimistic.

It’s a pity that this bamboo forest was not planted by Li Mu himself, so it is destined to not absorb the corresponding plant spirit.

"Well, not bad!" Li Mu checked the conditions of the many high-level spiritual plants in the spiritual field and nodded with satisfaction.

During the expansion of the treasure mansion this time, the spirit of the treasure mansion was able to be distracted and successfully preserved all the high-level spiritual plants on the spiritual fields. This was quite rare. After being nourished by such abundant spiritual power, those high-level spiritual plants were in excellent growth condition.

"Help me find a place where the power of time and space gathers. Is there one in this space?" Li Mu suddenly remembered something and made a request to the five-colored dragon.

Hearing this, a gleam of thought flashed in the eyes of the Five-Colored Dragon, and then nodded and said: "Master, after this upgrade, the space of the treasure house has not only greatly increased in area, but also the power of time and space contained in it has become more intense and complex. There is indeed a place where the power of time and space is particularly concentrated, which may meet your needs."

As soon as he finished speaking, the five-colored dragon moved slightly and turned into a stream of light. After circling around Li Mu, it led him to fly deep into the treasure house.

The next moment, Li Mu's figure appeared in an open space that seemed ordinary but concealed a mystery. Here, the air seemed to become heavier, and the surrounding space fluctuations were much stronger than other places.

"Master, this is it." The five-colored dragon stopped and pointed to the front, saying, "This place is called 'Time and Space Valley'. It is a natural intersection of time and space formed when the treasure house absorbs the time and space power in the boundary stone. Practicing skills related to time and space here will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Li Mu looked at the time and space valley in front of him and immediately felt the unusual atmosphere here. He released his spiritual sense to sense it and found that the power of time and space around him was surging like a tide, constantly washing over his body and consciousness, as if even time had become slow and clear here.

"What a treasure land, not bad!" Li Mu couldn't help but admire it, and introduced with a smile: "I want to set up an array here and plant a high-level spiritual plant."

After saying that, Li Mu invested his mind into the Jiuzang Spirit Pearl and took out the eighth-level spiritual material - the Void Spirit Crystal. Then, he summoned nine fifth-level gold spirit swords and used the swords as pens to carve time and space array patterns in the spirit valley.

Under Li Mu's control, nine swords flew together and turned into nine golden streams of light, shuttling back and forth in the valley of time and space. Every time the tip of the sword tapped lightly, it was accompanied by a ripple in space. The ground and the rock walls were engraved with complex and deep array patterns.

As the array pattern gradually took shape, the power of time and space in the space-time valley became more turbulent, as if being pulled by an invisible force and flowing along a predetermined trajectory.

Not long after, Li Mu held the Void Spirit Crystal in his hand, and the void power contained in it seemed to awaken, and was drawn into the magic circle that gathered the power of time and space, and finally merged into the center of the circle.

As the Void Spirit Crystal was slowly embedded into the center of the formation, the entire space-time valley seemed to be suddenly activated by an invisible force. The already surging power of space-time reached an unprecedented climax at this moment. In the void, brilliant rays of light intertwined like a rainbow, illuminating the entire valley like a dream, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

Feeling this magical power created by his own hands, Li Mu smiled and felt an indescribable joy in his heart.

The next moment, Li Mu took out a jade box from the Jiuzang Lingzhu.

When the jade box was opened, crystal clear lotus seeds appeared. They were the seeds of the rare seventh-level spiritual plant - the Space-Time Spirit Lotus.

Li Mu raised his hand lightly, guided out dozens of space-time spirit lotus seeds, and solemnly sent them into the completed space-time formation.

As dozens of spirit pine trees entered the core of the formation, they seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, automatically floating in the void in the formation, and began to slowly rotate, releasing faint fluctuations in time and space.

As the spirit seed rotates, the surrounding space-time forces seem to be attracted by it and gather together to form a vortex with the spirit seed as the center. The space-time vortex continues to rotate and expand, sucking more space-time forces into it, providing a constant supply of energy for the gestation of the space-time spirit lotus.

Seeing this, Li Mu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. With his innate magical power - identifying all spirits, he knew that the seed of the Time and Space Spirit Lotus was absorbing the power of time and space, nurturing and waiting to hatch.

Li Mu was slightly delighted, and manipulated the space-time formation, driving the formation eye to guide more space-time power with the void spirit crystal, and accurately injected it into the spirit seed to accelerate its growth and transformation. Time seemed to have lost its meaning at this moment, and Li Mu and the five-colored dragon were quietly waiting by the side, witnessing this miracle.

Three days passed, and dozens of crystal clear spirit seeds absorbed a large amount of time and space power. They suddenly burst into dazzling light, and then tiny cracks appeared on their surface and quickly spread.

"Crack!" With a series of dense and light sounds, the spirit seeds cracked one after another, and tender green buds emerged from them.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled again, and after all the spirit seeds broke out of their shells, he stopped urging the time and space magic array. Next, they had all successfully broken out of their shells, and their vitality had undergone a sharp change, so he just let them grow there.

The higher the level of the spiritual plant, the more demanding the growth conditions and the longer the maturity period. However, as long as their growth needs are met, you don't need to spend too much energy on caring for them at other times.

The spiritual attribute of the Space-Time Spirit Lotus can enhance the Space-Time Wheel Sutra, a holy-level technique. Li Mu attaches great importance to it. This is a technique involving the power of space and time, and has unparalleled advantages for escape or raid.

If he could cultivate these spirit seeds into mature Space-Time Spirit Lotuses and improve the Time and Space Wheel Sutra, it would become his life-saving trump card in times of crisis.

Li Mu's mind moved, and he took out several bottles of precious spiritual liquid from the storage ring, which were specially prepared for nourishing high-level spiritual plants. He waved his hand lightly, and the spiritual liquid turned into drizzle, evenly sprinkled on each tender green bud. The buds seemed to feel the nourishment, and the leaves swayed gently, as if expressing gratitude.

"I hope you can grow up healthily and become my capable assistants on my spiritual path." Li Mu whispered to himself, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, appearing in the cave of the Five Elements Spiritual Mountain. The scene in front of him made him involuntarily reveal a satisfied smile.

After this spatial expansion, not only did the overall scale of Huajie Baofu become larger, but even his personal cave for practicing Buddhism had undergone earth-shaking changes.

At the entrance of the cave, the originally ordinary stone door has been replaced by a jade door carved from rare spiritual minerals. It is engraved with intricate array patterns and sparkles with a warm and mysterious luster.

Gently push open the jade door, and a fresh and rich aura will hit you in the face, mixed with the faint scent of flowers and herbs, making you feel relaxed and happy.

When you step into the cave, you will see that the interior space is several times larger than before, and the layout is more exquisite, revealing the beauty of nature and harmony in every place. The ceiling of the cave is inlaid with night-shining pearls that emit soft light, illuminating the entire cave like daylight, but without any glare.

The original crude training platform in the cave has been upgraded to a black jade platform inlaid with five elements spirit stones. Colorful spiritual light flows on it, echoing with the surrounding spiritual energy, forming a perfect training environment.

Li Mu stepped lightly onto the colorful jade platform, and felt streams of warm spiritual power rising from under his feet, flowing through his body along the meridians, cleansing every inch of his skin, and nourishing his soul and body.

"Little guy, you are thoughtful!"

Li Mu laughed and happily accepted the flattery of the treasure mansion spirit.

Li Mu sat cross-legged on the colorful jade platform, concentrating his mind on the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, and took out the Taoist inheritance - the Insect Sutra obtained from the auction.

The "Insect Sutra" slowly emerged before his eyes. The sutra seemed to be painted with the skin of a magical insect. It had a soft texture, brown cover pages, and a dim spiritual light, but was filled with a sense of magic.

Innate magical power-under the ability to identify all spirits, the attributes of the insect scripture are clearly presented before your eyes.

[Secret Records of Spiritual Insects (Hidden) (Missing)]

[Rank: Eighth-rank Insect Codex]

[Features: Eternal Spiritual Pattern (hidden), Insect Soul Resonance (hidden), Secret Method Self-Generation (hidden), Atlas of Ten Thousand Insects (hidden), Magic to Attract Insect Tide (Remnant)]

[Status: The spirit is dim, the soul is broken, and the holy object is hidden in the dust]

【The ancient cocoon silk, the spiritual insect book woven by the thoughts of the heavenly insect, has gone through the baptism of catastrophes, and has been eroded by thousands of years of wind and frost. The spiritual breath is dim, and the soul consciousness is broken. The saliva of the six-combination insect spirits, the dust of thousands of years, and the opportunities of billions of lives can finally reveal its secrets. This "Secret Record of Spiritual Insects" was originally a supreme insect cultivation book, which contains the secrets of the reproduction of all insects. Each spiritual pattern contains the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, which can enable practitioners to understand the insect language, control all insects, and travel across the insect world. However, unfortunately, the book was damaged by the catastrophe, and the supreme spiritual patterns and secret methods inside were all sealed, leaving only a weak spirituality. 】

Li Mu took a deep breath, put his spiritual consciousness into it, and tried to read this incomplete inheritance.

As Li Mu's spiritual consciousness slowly penetrated into the "Insect Classic", an ancient and vicissitudes of life breath surged into his sea of ​​consciousness, as if crossing the boundaries of time and space and returning to the ancient times when insects flourished and all things coexisted.

It was as if thousands of insects were chirping in his mind. Suddenly, this huge torrent of information was like a flood that broke through a dam, suddenly impacting Li Mu's sea of ​​consciousness. His face suddenly changed, and the originally calm sea of ​​consciousness suddenly became turbulent, as if countless insects were frantically tearing at his consciousness. The severe pain and confusion intertwined together, making it almost unbearable for him.

"grumble!"

At this moment, a shrill cry broke the silence of the air and penetrated Li Mu's sea of ​​consciousness that was about to collapse.

Xiaobai sensed his master's crisis and used his powerful soul power to form an invisible barrier in time, isolating Li Mu from the violent torrent of information.

Deep in Li Mu's consciousness, the originally raging torrent of information began to gradually calm down under the isolation of Xiaobai's soul power. The noisy sound of thousands of insects gradually weakened, and was replaced by a warm and peaceful force that slowly penetrated into Li Mu's sea of ​​consciousness, repairing the souls that were damaged by the impact.

"noob!"

Li Mu's consciousness gradually returned to clarity. He saw the evil spirit - Xiaobai, and an indescribable gratitude welled up in his heart. He knew that it was Xiaobai who rescued him at the critical moment and helped him to calm down this sudden crisis.

As his sea of ​​consciousness calmed down, Li Mu regained control of his body. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Xiaobai staring at him nervously, his dark eyes full of worry.

"Xiaobai, don't worry, I'm fine!" Li Mu's face was a little pale, and he comforted with a wry smile.

This Dao-level inheritance is not so easy to inherit. He did not understand the "insect language", and his sea of ​​consciousness was almost devoured by thousands of insects. Fortunately, Xiaobai took action in time to stop this situation. (End of this chapter)
