Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

The treasure house of the painting world and the spiritual palace of the five elements.

Xue'er entered the training room and practiced in seclusion, with an icy aura emanating from it.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled with satisfaction, his figure flashed, and he appeared in the refining room. He took out several storage rings, took out all the spiritual objects stored in them, and began to count the harvest.

In an instant, the light was bright, and various rare minerals and high-level monster materials piled up like mountains. Thousands of spiritual creatures were suspended in the air. Some of them were crystal clear and as bright as stars, while others were of different shapes and contained magical powers. There were thousands of high-level spiritual creatures, some emitting blazing flames, like the rising sun, illuminating one side; some were as cold as ice, chilling, like the gaze from the Arctic abyss...

For a moment, Li Mu was dazzled. Under his innate magical power - identifying all spirits, the attributes of various high-level spiritual creatures were densely displayed.

[Red Wolf Bone]

[Rank: Sixth-rank demon corpse]

……

Li Mu released his spiritual thoughts, locked onto each spiritual object, classified them according to their properties, and put them into the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearls one by one.

In a short moment, thousands of floating spiritual materials, demon corpses, mountains of spiritual ores, jade boxes, etc., disappeared one after another out of thin air.

As expected of the generous gifts given by the Sword Master, all of them are rare treasures in the world, and the number is staggering. These spiritual objects are not only of high quality and extremely rich in variety, but also, none of them is lower than the sixth level.

Inside the Jiuzang Lingzhu, there are nine storage spaces, each forming a world of its own. As Li Mu's mind moved, these spiritual objects were arranged in an orderly manner inside, each emitting a unique light, reflecting each other, forming a splendid and colorful treasure house.

However, this fourth-level storage magic weapon that has been with him for many years now seems to have insufficient space.

Today, Li Mu has a rich collection, including countless high-level spiritual objects. The higher the level of the spiritual object, the stronger its power, and the more demanding its storage requirements.

High-level spiritual creatures, especially those that contain the laws of heaven and earth and endless mysteries, are more sensitive to the environment than one can imagine. They need a stable and pure energy field to prevent the loss of their spirituality; they need to be isolated from external interference to maintain the purity of their unique properties; they also need suitable temperature, humidity and even a specific concentration of spiritual energy to maintain their vitality and activity,... and other restrictions.

In addition, there are various finished products, such as various high-level elixirs, puppets, spiritual weapons, magic weapons, spiritual medicines, etc. Although the space of the Jiuzang Lingzhu is large, it can no longer meet the needs of storing so many high-level spiritual objects.

Li Mu's mind moved, and he took out a black spirit bead and a ball of floating, shining silver spirit sand from among the many treasures.

Under the innate supernatural power - identifying all spirits, the attributes of two spiritual creatures appeared in Li Mu's eyes.

【Tianxuan Lingzhu】

[Rank: Seventh-rank Demon Pill]

[Features: Endless void, thirty-six realms, invisibility, phantom sky]

[The seventh-level Tianxuan star beast swallows and spits out the essence of the universe to form the Tianxuan Spirit Pearl. It has thirty-six layers of heaven inside. The endless void is deep and unfathomable. Each layer contains unique spatial laws, hiding all the worlds invisibly. It is a supreme treasure for building cross-domain teleportation arrays and refining top-level escape magic weapons. ]

【Spiritual Realm Sand】

[Grade: Seventh-grade Spiritual Sand]

[Features: Space folding, sand contains myriad worlds, boundary walls are tough, microscopic world. ]

[In the depths of the endless void, after billions of years, the spiritual sand was condensed by absorbing the power of the origin of time and space. Each grain of sand contains a tiny space where thousands of worlds coexist. The boundary wall formed by the sand is extremely tough and is a unique material for refining space defense magic weapons or building private areas. At the same time, the subtle fluctuations of space laws contained in the sand help practitioners to comprehend the deeper level of space, and it is an excellent spiritual material for refining space tools. ]

Looking at the two seventh-level spiritual objects, Li Mu's mind moved, and he decided to use them to refine a high-level storage Taoist device to replace the storage capacity of the Jiuzang Lingzhu.

Li Mu took action immediately and summoned the Extreme Yang Sky Fire, Yin Yang Thunder Fire, and Earth Vein Sky Fire one after another.

The three balls of heavenly fire were of different colors, competing with each other in brilliance, releasing terrifyingly high temperatures, instantly raising the temperature of the refining room to a new height.

The fire spirit of the Yin Yang Thunder Fire is in the form of a blue and green python, the fire spirit of the Extreme Yang Sky Fire is in the form of a purple-gold fire phoenix, and the fire spirit of the Earth Vein Sky Fire is in the form of a scarlet fire dragon. Under Li Mu's control, they who were originally incompatible can now live in peace.

Li Mu revealed his chaotic Taoist body, formed seals with his hands, and used all his strength to operate the perfect Eight-Layer Heavenly Fire Hammering Method. The vast chaotic true essence gushed out, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Heavenly fire is the furnace!" As Li Mu's low shout contained endless majesty and power, a thunder seemed to sound in the refining room, shaking the void slightly. Under his control, the three balls of heavenly fire were no longer just in the form of flames, but turned into the purest and most powerful elemental spirits between heaven and earth. Instead of conflicting with each other, they formed a strange harmonious resonance.

The Purple-Gold Fire Phoenix of the Extreme Yang Heavenly Fire flapped its wings and flew high. As its wings spread, it released a dazzling light, like the blazing sun in the sky, illuminating the entire refining room.

The blue-green dragon python of Yin-Yang Thunder and Fire coiled and swirled, with lightning flashing on its body. Every time it twisted, it was accompanied by a rumbling thunder, as if it could tear apart space.
The red fire dragon of the earth's veins and sky fire was entrenched on the ground, its body connected to the earth, as if it had absorbed the hottest energy from deep within the earth's veins, spewing out flames that were enough to melt everything.

The three balls of heavenly fire quickly merged together and slowly condensed into a spectacular three-colored heavenly fire furnace in front of him.

The furnace was nearly ten feet high, suspended in the air, like an ancient and majestic fire temple, emitting a frightening pressure. The furnace body was made of the blue of the Yin-Yang Thunder Fire, the purple gold of the Extreme Yang Heavenly Fire, and the red of the Earthly Vein Heavenly Fire, colorful and dazzling.

Li Mu's chaotic true energy poured into the furnace made of heavenly fire like a river flowing into the sea, causing the space inside the entire furnace to begin to twist and fold, forming a world of fire independent of the outside world.

On the surface of the furnace, flames jumped continuously, like countless lively little fire spirits dancing. Sometimes they transformed into the agility of fire pythons, the soaring of fire phoenixes, and the roar of fire dragons. Each form was full of agility and ferocity, showing the infinite power of heavenly fire. The furnace cover formed by the condensation of three-color flames was even more surrounded by flames, forming an indestructible flame barrier, which tightly sealed the mystery and high temperature in the furnace without leaking a single bit.

Li Mu's mind moved, and the Tianxuan Spirit Pearl and Lingxu Realm Sand were thrown into the Heavenly Fire Furnace one after another. Under the smelting of the Heavenly Fire in the furnace, the Tianxuan Spirit Pearl and Lingxu Realm Sand gradually lost their original form, and quickly melted together, entwining and interweaving with each other, and gradually refined into a ring-shaped embryo.

Li Mu used the Heavenly Fire as a hammer and his True Essence as a guide to perform the most meticulous carving and fusion of the embryo of the instrument condensed from the Tianxuan Spirit Pearl and the Lingxu Realm Sand, arranging the instrument array. At the same time, he began to condense the divine patterns and make them into instrument patterns.

As Li Mu's carving of the embryo became more and more in-depth, the patterns constructed by various divine patterns continued to condense, giving it various special functions.

The divine pattern of "Sumeru containing mustard seed" allows the storage space to expand infinitely once it is integrated into the embryo of the vessel, as if a world is compressed in this small space. Mountains, rivers, lakes and seas can all be easily accommodated and used freely without worrying about insufficient space.

Next, there is the divine pattern of "Securing the Soul and Hiding the Breath", which isolates the items stored in the Taoist artifact from the outside world, making it difficult for even the Taoist master's divine consciousness to peer inside.

The "Lingxu Shield" divine pattern is the defense method that Li Mu created for this Taoist weapon. When attacked from the outside, this shield will be automatically activated to form a space-time barrier formed by the power of time and space, protecting the owner and the items inside from damage.

……

As Li Mu perfectly integrated the last divine pattern into the embryo, the black ring in the Heavenly Fire Refining Furnace emitted an unprecedented bright light. The Heavenly Fire in the Three-Colored Heavenly Fire Furnace seemed to have also felt this perfection and jumped happily, as if cheering for the birth of this masterpiece.

Li Mu exhaled lightly, and the long period of high concentration of his mind was exhausted, and a relaxed and joyful smile bloomed on his face.

The storage Taoist device - Tianxuan Ring, finally reached the level of a seventh-grade Taoist device through his unremitting efforts. The space laws contained in it and the 36,000 small storage spaces were enough to make any device refining master take notice.

However, just as Li Mu was immersed in the joy of success, the spiritual energy in the treasure house space suddenly became extremely restless, as if the entire space was responding to some unknown call. An extremely depressing atmosphere enveloped it like a dark cloud covering the sun. It was the strong attention and lock of the outside world's will on the high-level spiritual weapon that was about to be born.

Faced with this sudden change, Li Mu just smiled indifferently, as if he had expected it. He waved his sleeves lightly, and the flames in the three-colored skyfire furnace instantly dissipated, revealing a black spirit ring in the center that emitted dazzling light.

Li Mu stretched out his hand and took the Tianxuan Ring into his palm. A wisp of divine consciousness gently wrapped around it like a silk thread. Within a moment, he established a deep connection with the Tianxuan Ring and successfully refined it, as if it had become a part of his body.

As the refining of the Tianxuan Ring was completed, the three groups of heavenly fire spirits, the Extreme Yang Heavenly Fire, the Yin Yang Thunder Fire, and the Earth Vein Heavenly Fire, also completed their missions and manifested themselves as fire spirits. After circling in the air for a few circles, they turned into three streams of light and drilled into Li Mu's body without hesitation, settling into the vast sea of ​​chaos deep in his dantian.

After doing all this, Li Mu's figure suddenly became illusory, and his figure completely disappeared in the treasure house space.

Next, Li Mu needs to go to the Tribulation Platform in person to escort the Tianxuan Ring and help it successfully survive the upcoming tribulation.

Not long after, at the back mountain of the Qixuan Sect, on the Tribulation Platform, thunderclouds rolled in the sky and rushed over. The Tianxuan Ring floated up and left Li Mu's palm. The light on it was flowing, as if it was also looking forward to the test of the upcoming tribulation.

……

Just as Li Mu was helping the Tianxuan Ring to overcome the thunder tribulation, the atmosphere in the Xuantian Sword Sect's ancestral hall was a little solemn.

Chen Qingxuan sat in the main seat of the Patriarch's Hall as a Mahayana Taoist. On both sides below him, Sword Master Feng, Sword Master Yun, and other five Sword Masters sat separately. They all had serious and worried expressions on their faces, and their eyes met from time to time. It was obvious that the topic they were discussing was of great importance.

“Senior Brother Chen’s advancement is just in time. If Senior Brother Feng and Senior Brother Lin can also advance to the Mahayana stage, then the sect’s current predicament will definitely be resolved.” Sword Master Yunmeng looked at Chen Qingxuan and the two Sword Masters who were sitting in the main seat, and said sincerely.

Qi Xuanming frowned and said in a deep voice, "Yes, many outposts in the northern border that I am responsible for guarding have been attacked. Although we have responded in time, the losses are not small. What is more worrying is that these forces seem to be colluding with each other, and there may be a bigger conspiracy behind them."

"That's true. Recently, external forces have been restless and frequently provoked our sect's spiritual land, trying to seize our sect's resources and expand their sphere of influence while we are adjusting internally." Feng Wuhen agreed and nodded, "Now that Senior Brother Chen has successfully advanced to the Mahayana stage, he will surely deter those scoundrels and curb their ambitions."

"Brother Chen, we all know that the Mahayana realm is difficult to reach without great wisdom and great opportunity. I wonder if Brother Chen has encountered any extraordinary opportunities or been touched by anything during the process of advancing to the Mahayana realm. Can you share a few things with us?" Following Feng Wuhen's words, Yunmeng Sword Master continued the last topic and asked eagerly.

Last time, this topic was evaded by Chen Qingxuan with an inappropriate excuse. Now, there were only a few of them in the ancestral hall, and the isolation formation was activated. He should have no reason to refuse again.

If they could also follow Chen Qingxuan's opportunity to advance to the Mahayana stage, it would undoubtedly be a huge help to the Xuantian Sword Sect. He had no reason to hide it from them.

Hearing this, Chen Qingxuan sighed lightly, as if he had something difficult to hide, and frowned as he chose his words.

"Don't embarrass Senior Brother Chen. I know the reason. However, Senior Brother Chen and I have made a vow to each other, so I cannot reveal this matter!" Sword Master Feng smiled and said, "Please wait for a moment. I will ask for his opinion and then make a decision."

"who!"

Hearing this, the four sword masters were slightly stunned and asked in unison. They had never thought that Chen Qingxuan had the opportunity to advance to the Mahayana Dao Lord because of someone.

Chen Qingxuan waved his hand, signaling everyone to stay calm, and said, "You don't need to ask too much. After Junior Brother Feng asks that person for his opinion, he will share it with you when the time is right."

After these words were spoken, the hall fell into a brief silence, and every sword master tacitly understood the deeper meaning behind this obscure statement.

Seeing this, Sword Master Feng stood up and said with a smile, "Everyone wait a moment, I'll be back soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Jianzhu's figure flashed and turned into a stream of light, instantly piercing through the dome of the hall and soaring into the sky, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. (End of this chapter)
