Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Li Mu immersed himself completely in the sea of ​​consciousness, deeply comprehending the principles of chaos. He seemed to be isolated from the world and had forgotten the passage of time and the passing of years.

Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, the sect token on Li Mu's waist made a buzzing sound, penetrating the chaotic fog and awakening him from his mysterious state of practice.

The sudden vibration of the elder token meant that an important notification and call from the sect forced Li Mu to temporarily interrupt his practice and return to reality.

Li Mu opened his eyes, a chaotic light flashed in his eyes, and then the light retreated and returned to calm, as if everything had returned to the starting point.

Li Mu stretched out his hand and the elder token flew automatically into his palm as if it had a spirit. He was immersed in his spiritual consciousness and instantly knew the information notified by the sect.

It turned out that a long time had passed without him noticing while he was immersed in the perception of the Chaos Realm. In another seven days, it would be the auspicious day chosen by the Xuantian Sword Sect for the grand promotion ceremony prepared for Chen Daojun.

For this day, the entire Xuantian Sword Sect will be busy, and all disciples and elders need to make various preparations for this ceremony to ensure that everything goes smoothly.

As the supreme elder of Xuantian Sword Sect, Li Mu has a respected status and does not need to participate in too much tedious preparatory work. However, he must attend the ceremony seven days later on time and cannot afford to make any mistakes.

Li Mu suddenly realized and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He almost delayed this matter.

"It should be in time!"

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief. It shouldn't be a problem to refine a valuable treasure within seven days as a gift to congratulate Chen Daojun on his promotion.

Li Mu put away the elder's order, and with a flash of his figure, he entered the treasure house of the painting world.

In the Painting World Treasure House, Li Mu appeared next to a large spiritual field and looked down. The spiritual field of ten thousand acres was vast and boundless, among which the fourth-level purple Yao spiritual grass grew particularly lushly. Pieces of purple were full of vitality, and the light purple spiritual energy lingered in between, covering this top-grade spiritual field with a layer of mysterious and tranquil purple halo.

Ever since the Painting World Treasure House devoured many of the spiritual veins of the Dark Spirit Star, the concentration of spiritual energy in the treasure house has risen by several levels. The growth rate of the fourth-level Zi Yao spiritual grass has increased significantly. The Zi Yao spiritual grass that originally took ten years to mature has now reached its peak in just a few years.

This change made Li Mu very happy.

“It’s time to harvest!”

Li Mu waved his hand, and spiritual power emerged, condensing into a dazzling golden light, instantly covering the ten thousand acres of spiritual fields. The next moment, a golden halo swept across, and one purple Yao spiritual grass after another fell to the ground, revealing countless lavender plant spiritual light groups.

Li Mu smiled slightly, and with a thought, countless lavender plant spirit light balls, like moths to a flame, poured into his body.

[Talented Magical Power - Plant Spirit Absorption takes effect. You absorb a group of plant spirits. Free proficiency points +122]

[Talented Magical Power - Plant Spirit Absorption takes effect. You absorb a group of plant spirits. Free proficiency points +127]

[Talented Magical Power - Plant Spirit Absorption takes effect. You absorb a group of plant spirits. Free proficiency points +131]

……

Looking at the densely packed proficiency point harvesting prompts in the panel log column, Li Mu showed a satisfied smile on his face. Ten thousand acres of fourth-level purple Yao spiritual grass provided hundreds of millions of free proficiency points, making the few free proficiency points available again.

Li Mu's mind moved, and he prepared to consume free proficiency points to further improve his level 7 weapon refining skills.

Before, due to insufficient spirituality, he was unable to continue to improve the level of his weapon refining skills. However, as he stepped into the Avenue of Chaos and obtained the Chaos Dao Body, his aptitude was improved in all aspects. This should not be a problem this time.

Sure enough, as Li Mu thought about it, a large number of prompts appeared in the panel log column.

[Ding, you consume one free proficiency point and your weapon refining proficiency will be +1. 】

[Ding, you consume one free proficiency point and your weapon refining proficiency will be +1. 】

……

[Ding, you consume one free proficiency point, your weapon refining proficiency +1, your weapon refining level is raised to: Level 8, your weapon refining experience is greatly improved, your weapon refining success rate is greatly increased, your weapon refining quality is greatly improved, and you have comprehended the weapon refining magic power: Containing the Way. ]

As this prompt popped up in the log bar, a lot of equipment refining experience emerged in Li Mu's mind. At the same time, the mystery of the equipment refining magical power "Yunqi Chengdao" also slowly unfolded in his mind. He touched upon an unprecedented way of equipment refining, which was a mysterious skill that integrated the power of the laws of heaven into spiritual tools, making the chance of success in refining Taoist tools and immortal tools higher.

Li Mu closed his eyes slightly and spent a while digesting this magical power of refining weapons. When he opened his eyes again, there was an unprecedented light flashing in his eyes. It was a kind of confidence after a deep understanding of the way of refining weapons, and an anticipation to try it out.

After improving the level of weapon refining skills, Li Mu did not hesitate to continue to improve his next skill - puppetry.

[Ding, you consume one free proficiency point, and your puppetry proficiency will be +1. 】

[Ding, you consume one free proficiency point, and your puppetry proficiency will be +1. 】

……

[Ding, you consume one free proficiency point, your puppetry proficiency +1, your puppetry level is raised to: Level 8, your puppet manipulation experience is greatly improved, the puppet making success rate is greatly increased, the puppet quality is greatly improved, and you have comprehended the puppetry magic: controlling puppets and turning them into spirits. ]

With the countless improvement prompts revealed in the log column, Li Mu's mind seemed to be infused with an invisible force, and a large amount of puppet control and puppet refining experience emerged. At the same time, the profound secret method of the puppet magical power "controlling puppets and transforming them into spirits" also slowly unfolded in his consciousness. This mysterious skill of giving birth to spiritual plants from puppetry can greatly improve the success rate of puppet making and make the quality of puppets leap to a whole new height.

Li Mu closed his eyes slightly, immersed in the torrent of new knowledge. After a while, he finally completely digested the puppet magic. Looking at the spiritual field below, he moved his mind and continued to improve the level of the next alchemy technique.

Following Li Mu's thoughts, a large number of prompts appeared in the log bar on the panel. [Ding, you consume one free proficiency point, and your alchemy proficiency +1. ]

……

[Ding, you consume one free proficiency point, Alchemy proficiency +1, Alchemy level increased to: Level 8, your Alchemy experience is greatly improved, the success rate of Alchemy is greatly increased, the quality of Alchemy is greatly improved, and you have comprehended the Alchemy Magical Power: Melting the Pill and Condensing the Dao.]

Following the prompts in the log column, Li Mu's mind was once again flooded with a large amount of alchemy experience.

"Melt the elixir and transform it into the Tao..." Li Mu murmured in a low voice, slowly realizing the purpose of his new alchemy power. His eyes gradually became profound, as if he could see through the essence of alchemy.

Li Mu looked at the spiritual field below. Millions of fourth-level purple Yao spiritual herbs were lying in the spiritual field like weeds. They emitted a faint spiritual light and contained rich spiritual power. With a thought, a chaotic force emerged and turned into a ball of chaotic spiritual fire.

This ball of spiritual fire is different from ordinary flames. It contains the aura of chaos, as if it can burn all impurities and extract the purest spiritual power.

Immediately, under Li Mu's control, the fourth-level purple Yao spiritual herbs slowly floated up and gathered towards the chaotic spiritual fire. Li Mu formed seals with his hands, spiritual power surged, and began to use the magical power of "melting the elixir into the Tao" to refine the elixir.

The essence of millions of fourth-level purple Yao spiritual herbs underwent a transformation under the scorching and tempering of the chaotic spiritual fire. The medicinal properties contained in the spiritual herbs were now extracted one by one, turning into drops of flowing purple liquid medicine, which continuously gathered and shrank to form a rotating vortex of liquid medicine.

This vortex exudes a rich spiritual light, containing pure and powerful spiritual power. It seems to be a small spiritual world, full of vitality and vigor. Under the continuous burning of the chaotic spiritual fire, the liquid medicine gradually becomes purer, all impurities are removed, leaving only the most essential part.

In the end, only a fist-sized vortex of purple medicinal liquid remained. Under Li Mu's careful control, it slowly floated above the chaotic spiritual fire. This vortex of medicinal liquid exuded unprecedented strong medicinal power. Pure and powerful spiritual power fluctuations spread from it, containing endless vitality and vigor.

Li Mu concentrated on controlling the Chaos Spirit Fire, his hands constantly changing their seals, the power of chaos surged, gathering the spiritual power of heaven and earth in the treasure house and injecting it into it. Ordinary alchemy requires many steps such as tempering the spirit medicine, melting the medicinal properties, containing the spirit of the pill, condensing the pill pattern, transforming the pill power, and forming the pill shape. Each step needs to be carefully controlled to refine high-quality pills.

However, Li Mu stepped into the Chaos Avenue and comprehended the secret of the Three Thousand Divine Patterns, and his weapon refining skills were promoted to level 8. At this moment, relying on his powerful soul and alchemy skills, he penetrated the essence of alchemy, simplified those tedious steps one by one, and directly controlled the Chaos Spiritual Fire with his divine thoughts, condensing the essence of millions of fourth-level purple Yao spiritual herbs to the extreme.

Soon, under Li Mu's careful control, the fist-sized vortex of purple liquid medicine began to undergo subtle changes. The liquid gradually became more compact, and the fluctuations of spiritual power became stronger, as if a small spiritual world was being nurtured in it.

Li Mu knew that this was a sign that the elixir was about to take shape, and with a thought in his mind, he used his heart as a guide and his spirit as a medium to slowly integrate the Dao of Spiritual Transformation into the vortex of the medicine liquid. As the Dao was integrated, the vortex of the medicine liquid began to change dramatically, and the aura of the wisdom of heaven and earth flowed on its surface, and it eventually turned into a elixir emitting a purple halo.

The chaotic spiritual fire gradually disappeared, and a purple spiritual pill the size of a longan floated in the air. It had a round shape and a surface as smooth as a mirror. Lines of elixir patterns formed in the blink of an eye, emitting a strong medicinal power.

Under the innate magical power - identifying all spirits, the information of the purple elixir appeared one by one in Li Mu's vision.

【unnamed】

[Rank: 7th-rank lower-grade Dao Dan]

[Features: Chaos pregnant with spirit, purple jade contains brilliance, spiritual essence condenses, ultimate medicinal properties, essence of spiritual herbs. ]

[Status: Danwen flows, Dao becomes smart]

[The seventh-level Dao Dan is made from the essence of millions of fourth-level Zi Yao spiritual herbs and the Chaos Spirit Fire. This pill contains the spirits of Chaos and Zi Yao. After taking it, the spirits of heaven and earth enter the body, and the Dao essence is transformed into spirit. It has the effect of enlightenment, improvement of cultivation, strengthening of spiritual essence, and stimulating potential. ]

Gazing at the purple elixir containing endless medicinal power, Li Mu could not help but reveal a hint of joy. This was a pill recipe he created himself, based on millions of fourth-order purple Yao spiritual herbs, using the power of the Chaos Spirit Fire, and combining his deep understanding of alchemy and his comprehension of the Great Dao of Chaos.

This "Dao Dan" is not only the pinnacle of Li Mu's alchemy, but also a major milestone in his path of cultivation. Although it cannot reach the level of causing a pill calamity, the fact that he can personally refine a Dao Dan is enough to prove that his alchemy skills have reached a superb level.

Li Mu stretched out his hand and took the purple elixir into his palm, feeling the great medicinal power contained in it, and said with a smile: "Let's call it Ziyao Daodan!"

Li Mu took out a pill bottle, put it away, and put in the Jiuzang Lingzhu.

Then, Li Mu stretched out his body, like an immortal, and displayed his superb farming skills to the vast ten thousand acres of spiritual fields in front of him.

Li Mu waved his hand, and the Earth Dragon Technique was activated. Under the spiritual field, it seemed as if several earth dragons were tumbling underground. With a majestic momentum, they turned over the ten thousand acres of spiritual field neatly and awakened the vitality and fertility of the soil.

Then, Li Mu performed the drying technique. The scorching fire was drawn by his magic and evenly sprinkled on every piece of field, completely roasting the roots of the spiritual herbs and weeds into ashes, turning them into fertilizer and integrating into the spiritual fields. At the same time, it dispelled the moisture from the spiritual fields, retaining just the right amount of moisture in the soil, laying the foundation for the planting of the next batch of purple Yao spiritual herbs.

After completing these preparatory steps, Li Mu took out a seed bag filled with purple Yao spiritual grass from the Jiuzang Lingzhu on his waist. With a slight wave of his arm, the spiritual seeds fell evenly on the spiritual field like drizzle.

Finally, Li Mu used the spell of summoning rain and clouds gradually gathered in the sky. A spiritual rain arrived as promised, providing the most nourishing water for the Zi Yao spiritual grass.

After doing all this, Li Mu’s figure flashed, disappeared from the spot, and appeared in the refining room of the Five Elements Spiritual Roots.

Prepare to refine a Taoist weapon as a gift to Chen Daojun.

Li Mu invested his mind into the Jiuzang Spirit Pearl and selected the precious spiritual materials for refining weapons. The vast majority of high-level spiritual materials for refining weapons in the treasure ring were obtained from the treasure house of the Night Emperor - Emperor Tianxing. There were golden wood crystals, ancient refined gold, red dragon gilded gold, dazzling axe refined stone... many sixth-level and seventh-level gold-based spiritual materials, so dazzling that he was overwhelmed.

Li Mu frowned as he screened various spiritual materials for refining weapons while thinking about what kind of Taoist weapon would be most suitable.

Next, he will need to practice under the protection of the Xuantian Sword Sect for at least a thousand years. Therefore, the gift prepared for Chen Daojun's promotion ceremony cannot be too shabby and must be able to demonstrate his sincerity.

However, Chen Daojun already had a Gengjin Dao Sword that he had refined, so refining another Dao Sword for him was obviously inappropriate and lacked novelty. After thinking for a while, Li Mu decided to refine a unique Dao weapon, which could not only reflect his refining level, but also surprise Chen Daojun.

Soon, Li Mu's eyes locked on the right spiritual materials for refining weapons, and he had an idea in mind. He decided to refine a defensive Taoist weapon, using ancient refined gold as the main material and integrating other precious spiritual materials for refining weapons to refine a Taoist weapon with protective and auxiliary effects.
