Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

The stars were as tiny as dust. The huge bodies of the two Nine Nether Kun Whales passed by silently, one in front and one behind. Their tracks left a brilliant but short trail in the depths of the universe.

The Dark Spirit Star is out of reach. At the speed of the Nine Nether Kun Whale, it would take more than ten years to arrive there.

Li Mu immediately decided to take advantage of this long journey to continue enjoying a leisurely life.

In the Painting World Treasure Mansion, Li Mu resumed his previous pace of life, taking care of spiritual plants, working with Xue'er to cook delicious food, brew spiritual wine, and enjoying this rare tranquility and comfort. However, with the completion of the nebula visualization method and the qualitative change of his soul, Li Mu had a more ethereal and otherworldly aura.

In his spare time, Li Mu also plans to improve other skills.

One day, Li Mu had an inspiration and took out the divine rune that had been hidden in the bottom of the box for a long time. Suddenly, he discovered that the inheritance that was originally sealed by himself because of the incomplete inheritance, under the influence of the powerful soul, could actually glimpse a trace of the divine rune veins.

Innate supernatural power - Under the recognition of all spirits, the divine pattern truly deciphered this ancient tome of broken spirits, revealing its new face.

[The True Solution of Divine Pattern (Incomplete)]

[Rank: Eighth-level Dao Sutra]

[Features: Eternal divine pattern, impervious to water and fire, ancient thought inheritance (sealed), divine pattern self-evolution (unlocked), three thousand divine patterns (unlocked)]

[Status: Divine essence dissipated, spirituality incomplete, divine object defiled and returned to the mortal realm]

[The eighth-level ancient chaos beast skin, the ancient scripture of divine patterns drawn by the immortal thoughts, suffered a devastating blow, washed away by ten thousand years, the charm dissipated, the spirituality was incomplete, and it was reduced to a mortal object. Only by gathering the innate five spiritual patterns, thousands of strands of time, and the power of ten thousand causes and effects can it be unsealed and restored on its own.]

Li Mu couldn't help but invest a lot of time into it, studying the secrets of the divine runes every day, and gathering some unsealed spiritual materials to unseal it.

As Li Mu immersed himself day after day, more and more mysteries of the three thousand divine runes were revealed one by one, showing their unique and powerful functions.

"Elemental Force Storm" divine pattern: This divine pattern can mobilize the five elements between heaven and earth (gold, wood, water, fire, and earth) to form a huge storm, dealing a devastating blow to the enemy.

"Life Weaving" Divine Mark: Different from the "Source of Life" Divine Mark, Life Weaving focuses more on the fine control and creation of life. Li Mu can heal almost any type of injury through this Divine Mark.

"Soul Power Resonance" Divine Rune: This is a divine rune involving the soul power level. It can enable the user to establish a direct connection with the souls of others and achieve spiritual exchange and communication.

……

Li Mu successfully deciphered one fifth of the true meaning of the divine runes, about six hundred divine runes. They greatly simplified the formation of instrument runes, elixir runes, talisman runes, and puppet runes, and can achieve more efficient operation efficiency.

This discovery made Li Mu excited. These divine patterns changed Li Mu's cognition. They seemed to transcend the original system of the hundred arts of cultivation in the spiritual world.

An unprecedented light flashed in Li Mu's eyes as he realized that the divine patterns he mastered were not only the inheritance of new knowledge, but also the key to a whole new realm of cultivation.

The efficiency and sophistication displayed by these divine patterns made Li Mu begin to re-examine and optimize the skills he had mastered, striving to bring out the power of divine patterns from all arts.

Li Mu began to study more deeply, preparing to integrate these divine patterns into the skills and techniques he mastered. The perfection of the nebula visualization method not only allowed his soul to achieve a qualitative leap, but also allowed his understanding of the world to reach a new level.

These divine patterns make Li Mu even more powerful. If he can successfully integrate them into the skills of refining weapons, puppets, talismans, and even alchemy, the power of the finished product will be greatly enhanced.

First, Li Mu turned his attention to the art of refining weapons, which he was best at.

Li Mu stretched out his hand and waved, summoning a ball of five-element spiritual fire. He then took out a batch of fifth-grade five-element spiritual materials for refining weapons from the Nine-Tibet Spirit Pearl and began to refine a five-element spiritual weapon with the divine pattern as the base.

The five fifth-grade spiritual materials for refining weapons, namely, meteorite gold, star wood, one-yuan heavy water, sun-flame golden lotus, and earth-yuan treasure essence, slowly merged into the endlessly jumping five-element spiritual fire under the control of Li Mu's powerful soul.

Li Mu used the divine refining method to control the spiritual fire to refine weapons out of thin air. The five elements of flame seemed to be given life, dancing lightly around the five refining spiritual materials, accurately stripping away impurities and purifying the essence.

As the refining progresses, the impurities on the surface of the spiritual material are gradually removed, revealing the pure five elements essence inside.

Seeing this, Li Mu knew that the time had come, so he closed his eyes and concentrated, sinking his mind into the sea of ​​consciousness, sensing them carefully, refining them together, and urging them into a tool embryo. At the same time, using his thoughts as a pen and his spiritual power as ink, he began to draw divine patterns in the tool embryo, condensing them into a tool array, and then condensing them into tool patterns.

Li Mu's powerful spiritual consciousness was like an invisible giant hand, which easily molded the entire group of five elements essence into a ring-shaped embryo. The spiritual power gathered by his spiritual consciousness condensed into divine patterns, like a school of fish, which sank into the embryo one after another.

These divine runes have many effects, including soul enhancement, fusion, soul transformation, phase, star shift, etc. There are dozens of them, nearly a hundred of them with different functions.

There has been a great change compared with the ideas of Li Mu's previous spiritual weapon refining. The structure of the divine pattern is more delicate and precise. With the ordinary weapon refining method, a spiritual weapon of one rank can only condense four weapon patterns at most. However, by using the divine pattern to condense the weapon pattern, a spiritual weapon of one rank seems to be able to condense forty divine patterns. With each additional divine pattern condensed, the spiritual weapon will have an additional function, and the overall power will be greatly enhanced.

However, Li Mu only had six hundred divine runes at his disposal, and the functions they contained were somewhat mutually restraining. Therefore, when trying to use the divine runes to refine a fifth-tier spiritual weapon this time, Li Mu should not have condensed two hundred divine runes in one breath.

Knowing the preciousness and complexity of the divine runes, Li Mu made careful selections to ensure that each divine rune could maximize its effectiveness while avoiding conflicts with each other.

Li Mu's divine consciousness was like a fine thread, precisely controlling each divine pattern to ensure that their position and arrangement in the organ embryo were just right.

This process was extremely difficult, requiring extremely high mental concentration and a deep understanding of the divine runes. Relying on his powerful soul and profound understanding of weapon refining, Li Mu gradually found the rhythm and successfully integrated the divine runes into the weapon embryo, as if he was weaving a complex and powerful web for this spiritual weapon.

As the divine patterns were integrated one after another, subtle changes began to occur inside the spiritual weapon. Under the guidance of the many divine patterns, the five elements of energy gathered in the spiritual weapon embryo began to intertwine and fuse with each other, forming a more complex and changeable energy field.

These energy fields not only enhance the stability and durability of the spiritual weapon, but also give it more diverse functions.

Li Mu did not stop there, but continued to explore the potential of the divine runes, trying to combine the divine runes with different functions to create new effects.

For example, the combination of the "Spirit Enhancement" and "Spirit Transformation" divine patterns allows the spiritual weapon to enhance its own spiritual power while also changing its form according to the needs of the user; and the combination of the "Fusion" and "Phase" divine patterns allows the spiritual weapon to instantly travel through space in battle, increasing its evasion function, ...

Time flies, and the spiritual light emitted by the Five Elements Ring embryo becomes stronger and stronger... At the same time, in the process of Li Mu drawing the divine patterns, refining them into the embryo, and condensing them into divine patterns, the spiritual power and powerful divine consciousness in his body are rapidly consumed, but he is completely unaware of it.

At this moment, Li Mu's heart was filled with the pursuit and desire for a perfect spiritual weapon. His hand movements were so fast that they were hard to see with the naked eye. The spiritual power of heaven and earth in the space of the treasure house unconsciously gathered towards him. "What happened? What is Brother Li doing in there?"

Looking at the weapon refining room where the spiritual energy was fluctuating violently, Xue'er finally discovered the huge noise made by Li Mu. Not daring to use her spiritual sense to spy on him and disturb him, she hurriedly summoned the spirit of the treasure house and asked with concern.

"The master is refining a new weapon, but the situation seems to be a little different this time." The treasure mansion spirit responded in shock. It was extremely surprised at Li Mu's weapon refining technique. As an eighth-level weapon spirit, it discovered that Li Mu's weapon refining technique this time was extraordinary.

"Brother Li, have you refined another Dao weapon? That's amazing!" Hearing this, Xue'er's eyes sparkled with excitement and admiration. Although she didn't know how to refine weapons, she could feel the extraordinaryness of Li Mu's weapon from the shocked tone of the treasure house spirit. She tried to peek through the half-open door of the weapon refining room to see a glimpse of the scene inside, but she could only see a vague outline covered by the light of spiritual power.

"It's not a Taoist weapon, it's more like a low-level immortal weapon." The spirit of the treasure house guessed with a hint of solemnity and awe in its voice.

"What? Immortal weapon?"

The words of the treasure mansion spirit exploded in Xue'er's heart like a thunder. She widened her eyes instantly and looked at the closed door of the refining room in disbelief.

"Immortal weapon? How...how is this possible?"

Xue'er's voice trembled slightly. She had followed Li Mu and worked as the shopkeeper of Li's Treasure Pavilion. She knew a lot about the grades of various spiritual tools and treasures, but the name of the immortal tool was simply a legendary existence to her. It only existed in ancient books and legends. It was a divine object that even the powerful Mahayana masters dreamed of.

Aren’t immortal weapons spiritual objects that only exist in the upper realm?
How could Brother Li refine it?

After this incident, Xue'er couldn't help but doubt the judgment of the spirit of the treasure house.

“Miss Xue’er, the master should have refined a low-level immortal weapon. I have never seen such a sophisticated weapon refining technique. The patterns condensed by the master are very complex, and the number is extremely large. It has exceeded my understanding of Taoist weapons. That power seems to be able to communicate with heaven and earth and mobilize all the spiritual energy in the treasure house on its own. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would not dare to believe it.” The five-colored dragon, the spirit of the treasure house, explained slowly, with both amazement and expectation in his tone, showing a rare hint of humanity.

Xue'er stood there in a daze, with countless thoughts surging in her mind. She couldn't imagine what it would be like if Li Mu could actually refine the legendary magic weapon.

Just as the two were discussing, the light in the weapon refining room suddenly became brighter, as dazzling as the scorching sun, illuminating the entire space of the treasure house. Then, a vast and boundless aura surged out from the weapon refining room, carrying with it a trace of extremely rich weapon power, which made Xue'er and the weapon spirit of the treasure house feel a palpitation.

The next moment, the door of the refining room opened, and Li Mu, with a smile on his face, walked out slowly, holding up an ancient five-colored spirit ring in his hand. A faint spiritual light was flowing on the five-colored spirit ring, but it suppressed the surrounding spiritual power and made it impossible to approach, as if he was a natural king who disdained to associate with others. He looked both mysterious and solemn.

"You're waiting for me!"

There was a joy and pride in Li Mu's voice that was hard to conceal. Looking at the five-colored spirit ring in his hand, his eyes were full of joy, as if that was the child he had poured all his efforts into.

Seeing this, Xue'er hurriedly took a few steps forward, her eyes full of excitement and curiosity: "Brother Li, this... is this the immortal weapon you refined? It's incredible!"

"Immortal weapon?"

Hearing this, Li Mu was slightly stunned and looked at Xue'er in confusion.

"It was the spirit of the treasure house that said it. It said that your weapon refining technique this time is unusual and it is a method of refining an immortal weapon!" Xue'er looked at the five-colored dragon and explained.

"Master, what you refined is a low-level immortal weapon, right?"

The five-colored dragon flew to Li Mu's side and circled around him anxiously, revealing its excitement.

Hearing this, Li Mu's mouth curled up into a smile, his eyes flashing with a mysterious light, and he nodded with a smile: "Oh, I see. The treasure house spirit is indeed very discerning, but strictly speaking, it is not considered a fairy weapon."

"However, its rank is not high, and it is not an ordinary spiritual weapon or spiritual treasure. But its power is not much inferior to that of Taoist weapons. It is not an exaggeration to call it a low-level immortal weapon!" After a pause, Li Mu thought for a moment, looked at the five-colored spiritual ring, and agreed.

This weapon was refined using divine patterns. Although it was only at the fifth level, its power was many times greater than that of ordinary fifth-level spiritual weapons and acquired spiritual treasures. Moreover, the refining process was extremely difficult. Li Mu almost exhausted his spiritual power and soul.

Fortunately, he was in the treasure house of the painting world, and he could still mobilize and replenish the spiritual power of heaven and earth.

Fortunately, Li Mu was not too greedy. He used fifth-grade spiritual materials to experiment with refining a fifth-grade spiritual weapon. Unexpectedly, he accidentally triggered the potential of the divine pattern, allowing this originally ordinary fifth-grade spiritual weapon to transform into such an extraordinary existence.

This experiment of refining equipment incorporates the test of refining skills with divine patterns. For Li Mu, it is an ultimate challenge to his willpower and spiritual cultivation.

"I originally just wanted to verify the effect of the new divine runes I learned through this refining, but I didn't expect to have such amazing gains. If I were to refine it again, I'm afraid it would be difficult to replicate this success." Li Mu looked at the five-colored spirit ring in his hand, his eyes full of emotion and said.

Xue'er looked at Li Mu with admiration in his eyes and couldn't help asking curiously, "Brother Li, what's so special about this magic weapon?"

"You watch it!"

Li Mu smiled slightly, then gently waved the five-colored spirit ring in his hand. The spiritual light flowing around the ring suddenly became dazzling. The five different colors of light intertwined together to form a gorgeous rainbow, illuminating the entire space with colorful colors.

"This device has many functions, and contains the supreme mysteries of the mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements." Li Mu explained: "When I guide it with my mind, it can release the power of the corresponding attributes according to my will. Whether it is blazing flames, sharp golden light, heavy earth breath, gentle water waves, or even the mysterious wood power, I can control it at will."

As he spoke, Li Mu chanted the spell again, and the light on the five-colored spirit ring became brighter. In an instant, five streams of spirit power with different attributes were separated and surrounded him, as if five loyal guardians, each guarding a piece of heaven and earth.

"The Five-Colored Spirit Ring can also automatically adjust the attack method according to the enemy's attributes to achieve the best restraint effect. In battle, it will be your right-hand man, allowing you to deal with various enemies with ease. You can also use it as a basis to arrange the Five Elements Magic Array..."

"Next, it can also transform into a five-element armor..."

As Li Mu finished speaking, the five-colored spirit ring seemed to respond to his thoughts. The light changed again, and the five different colored lights quickly merged into a layer of radiant armor, which fit tightly on Li Mu's body. It looked gorgeous and revealed an indescribable firmness and toughness, as if it could withstand all attacks in the world.

"The Five Elements Armor combines the essence of the Five Elements. It can resist attacks from any direction. And as your cultivation level increases, the armor's defensive power will also increase accordingly." Li Mu demonstrated the magic of the Five Elements Armor and continued to explain to Xue'er.

Xue'er's eyes widened as she looked at this scene in disbelief. She had never seen such a magical weapon before, and she had never thought that a low-level magic weapon could have so many functions and changes, and its power was incredible. (End of this chapter)
