Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

After watching Lin Maoshan leave, Li Mu put his consciousness into the storage ring, "looking" at the various high-level spiritual objects in the storage ring, and his mind moved.

With a "crash", thousands of spiritual materials for refining weapons and rare minerals were pulled and processed by an invisible force and appeared around Li Mu. Wherever he looked, the attributes of many spiritual objects were revealed one by one.

It contains powerful vitality and binding power. Its vines can entangle everything, and even a powerful soul cannot escape its bondage.]

……

There are many high-level spiritual objects, all of high quality, but their number has decreased a lot compared to before.

Li Mu stretched out his hand, and with a thought, he put the spiritual objects into the Tianxuan Ring one by one, and they disappeared.

Finally, only a piece of monster skin was left and fell in front of Li Mu.

Under the innate magical power - identifying all spirits, the properties of the monster skin emitting a terrifying cold air appeared in Li Mu's eyes.

[Abyss Ice Beast Hide]

[Grade: Seventh-level True Spirit Skin]

[Features: The dark and extremely cold, the universe is frozen, the soul is frozen in the dark, the cold light is ten thousand feet high, the frost freezes the world, and the coldness penetrates the bones. ]

[Status: Frost Blockade, Cold Glow]

[The Abyss Ice Beast, lurking in the deepest part of the eternally unchanging Arctic Ice Region, is the supreme ruler of the ice realm. Its body is covered with ice soul scales condensed from the purest ice essence in the depths of the Netherworld, which contains terrifying cold power that is enough to freeze everything in the world. The Abyss Ice Beast skin is not only the ultimate in material, but also the pinnacle of cold power. It contains a trace of the Nine Netherworld Ice Origin, which is a rare material for forging supreme ice-type Taoist instruments and cold-type spiritual talismans.]

Looking at this top-grade, high-level refining tool and talisman-making spiritual material, Li Mu couldn't help but feel itchy. This piece of seventh-level true spirit skin was very large, and there would be a lot left after refining a Taoist tool. The rest could be made into talisman skin, and could be used to draw many high-level spiritual talismans.

Li Mu acted quickly, taking out a skinning knife from the Tianxuan Ring and trimming it. The blade flickered in the cold light, and every cut was extremely precise, echoing the animal patterns on the skin of the Mingyuan Ice Beast.

As the skinning knife slowly moved forward, the skin of the Nether Abyss Ice Beast gradually revealed its purer and more flawless side. The cold light became more and more dazzling, and the surrounding air seemed to be solidified by this cold air, and even breathing became heavy.

After completing the initial trimming, it was divided into two pieces of leather, one large and one small. Li Mu did not rush to the next step of refining, but first used his spiritual power to carefully explore it to ensure that every inch of the leather was intact, while feeling the ice origin contained in it.

He put away the large pieces of leather and saved them for refining Taoist tools. Then, Li Mu used the power of chaos to gently stroke the small pieces of the Nether Abyss Ice Beast skin to suppress the escape of cold air and avoid unnecessary damage during the skinning process.

Afterwards, Li Mu carefully used the skinning knife as a guide, following the delicate texture on the ice beast skin, as if he was performing a fine carving art. One by one, thin talisman skins emitting icy mist gradually emerged under his dexterous hands.

Not long after, Li Mu took out a talisman pen from the Tianxuan Ring. This talisman pen was called "Xuanlang Talisman Pen".

This talisman pen is a masterpiece that is the result of Li Mu's years of hard work and chance. It is not a unique piece, but one of a series of ten talisman pens that Li Mu carefully crafted to meet the needs of different attributes. Each pen carries his profound understanding of the way of refining equipment.

For a hundred years, apart from occasional practice and attempts to break through the fusion realm, Li Mu devoted most of his time to taking care of various spiritual plants, refining instruments, drawing talismans, and carving puppets. At the same time, he also refined many "professional" Taoist instruments for himself, such as the Taoist-grade alchemy furnace, skinning knife, talisman pen, and so on.

If you want to do something well, you must first sharpen your tools. This sentence is deeply engraved in Li Mu's heart and becomes his motto for constant pursuit of perfection.

On the road of cultivation, in addition to personal cultivation and realm, having a handy and high-quality Taoist tool can often play a decisive role at a critical moment. Therefore, Li Mu invested a lot of energy in many tool-making tools, striving to make each work perfect.

The bristles of the "Mysterious Wolf Talisman Pen" are taken from the extremely precious hairs of the seventh-level Ice Wolf Demon King. Each hair contains the icy power and spirituality of the Demon King level.

The pen holder is made from the demon bones of the Demon King using Li Mu's unique secret method. It not only retains its original toughness and coldness, but also cleverly incorporates the essence of extreme cold. This allows the entire pen to naturally guide the power of ice between heaven and earth when writing, giving the runes more powerful power and spirituality.

The whole body looks like it was carved from thousand-year-old ice crystals, with a pure texture and a glittering luster. On the pen body, complex ice runes are coiled, winding like a stream, as if they have life, swaying gently with the fluctuations of the surrounding cold air, releasing bursts of heart-pounding chills and profound Taoism. Li Mu holds the Black Wolf Rune Pen and gently writes, and the power of chaos surges in. The cold air on the pen hairs and the ice power in the pen body interweave to form delicate ice crystal tracks, like a dancing elf in the ice and snow, leading the flow of spiritual power and outlining the exquisite structure of the runes.

When Li Mu used the pen, the tip of the pen would release a trace of cold air, which would merge with the ice mist on the talisman skin, making the drawn talisman purer and its power doubled.

The pen follows the heart, and the idea follows the pen. The power of chaos is used as ink, condensed at the tip of the pen, and gradually a complex and magical pattern is outlined on the talisman skin covered with a strong chill.

The talisman pattern resembles a dragon but is not a dragon, and a phoenix but is not a phoenix. It is connected from beginning to end, and gradually exudes a mysterious aura. Divine patterns appear, and streams of pure and powerful icy air instantly pour into it, blending closely with the talisman paper.

Nourished by the icy air, these rune patterns seemed to have substance, emitting a faint blue light and exuding an indescribable majesty and mystery.

Every time Li Mu put pen to paper, it was as if he was conversing with the heaven and earth, and the icy Taoist essence transformed from the divine patterns was continuously integrated into it.

The runes drawn by the "Xuanlang Rune Pen" not only possess powerful power, but also contain Li Mu's unique understanding of Tao and tools, enabling it to produce extraordinary effects.

As the pattern gradually took shape, a powerful spiritual power fluctuation quickly emerged in the talisman paper. This spiritual power fluctuation was like a sudden cold wave in winter, instantly sweeping across the entire space.

Li Mu waved his hand and activated the protective formations around him, otherwise the icy force would continue to wreak havoc.

The next moment, the spiritual power of heaven and earth began to riot, as if responding to the mysterious pattern that was about to take shape in Li Mu's pen. The surrounding space began to tremble, and the chill in the air suddenly became thicker, condensing into frost visible to the naked eye and slowly falling.

Above the sky, the originally calm clouds were stirred by an unknown force, forming a vortex. There seemed to be a faint sound of thunder whispering, indicating that something extraordinary was about to happen.

As if it was a critical moment, Li Mu's expression became more and more focused, and the hand holding the Talisman Spirit Pen continued to output spiritual power steadily.

As the last stroke fell, the entire talisman pattern suddenly lit up, like the brightest star in the night sky, illuminating the surrounding ice mist clearly. The mysterious pattern that looked like a dragon but not a dragon, like a phoenix but not a phoenix, seemed to come alive at this moment, and the sound of dragon roaring and phoenix singing could be faintly heard, but it quickly dissipated into nothingness, leaving only a palpitating pressure spreading out.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the spiritual power between heaven and earth seemed to have found an outlet and poured into the talisman frantically. Countless divine patterns emerged, as if they had come alive, wandering wildly on the surface of the talisman, gathering and madly absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth. A powerful cold air emerged, forming a shocking picture.

At the same time, thunderclouds gathered rapidly in the sky above, and the will of heaven and earth enveloped them.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled slightly as if he had expected it, and directly activated the magic array around him, then put away the "talisman", completely isolating himself from the lock of the will of heaven.

Whenever a heaven-defying weapon is born, or a magical weapon is promoted to an extremely high level, Heaven will send down this calamity to test whether it can withstand the power of heaven and earth and whether it is truly qualified to exist in the world.

However, the number of Taoist instruments, talismans, and puppets refined by Li Mu was too large, and the probability of instrument disaster was also very high. If he had to "survive" instrument disaster every time, wouldn't he be exhausted?

Therefore, Li Mu had already mastered the ingenious method of avoiding weapon disasters. He used his deep understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, as well as his unique attainments in refining weapons and drawing talismans over the years, to create a formation called the "Tian Yan Dun Xing Array".

The "Tian Yan Dun Xing Array" can skillfully guide the spiritual power of heaven and earth, allowing newly born heaven-defying things to merge with the surrounding heaven and earth at the moment of birth, blurring the boundaries of their existence and thus avoiding direct perception of the will of heaven.

Facing the impending thunderclouds and the will of heaven and earth, Li Mu's mind moved, and the "Tian Yan Escape Array" that had been arranged long ago was instantly activated. The surrounding space seemed to be distorted, and countless lights and shadows intertwined, completely hiding the existence of the talisman between heaven and earth. Although the thunderclouds came, they seemed to have lost their target. After hovering in the air for a while, they finally dispersed helplessly.

Lin Maoshan, who had just left, sensed the thunderclouds coming and going, and looked up with a face full of question marks.

"What is this? Did Master refine a Taoist weapon? There was clearly a weapon calamity born? How come it's gone again?" Lin Maoshan was full of doubts, and his eyes involuntarily turned to the direction of Li Mu. There, peace had returned to normal, as if nothing that had just happened had ever happened.

However, after confirming that there was no disaster coming, Lin Maoshan was about to leave, but something that surprised him happened again soon. The sky changed again, and the thunderclouds gathered quickly as if pulled by an invisible force, covering half of the sky.

However, this thunder tribulation came quickly and went away quickly. Just when Lin Maoshan thought that he was about to experience a thrilling thunderstorm, the thunderclouds seemed to be playing a game. They only rolled a few times in the air and then gradually dissipated into the sky as if gently brushed away by an invisible hand. The sky once again returned to its former tranquility.

Lin Maoshan couldn't help but stop and looked into the distance with curiosity in his heart.

Soon, something unexpected happened to Lin Maoshan. Not long after, another thundercloud was attracted. However, before it could actually form, the thundercloud quickly disappeared.

"This... what is going on? What is Master doing? Why is this thundercloud so erratic?"

Lin Maoshan did not leave for a long time. He looked at the thunderclouds that frequently gathered and dissipated in the sky, muttering to himself in confusion.

At this moment, about half a minute later, Li Mu successfully refined a Thousand Frost Cold Domain Talisman. When the calamity of the weapon came, he activated the "Tian Yan Escape Formation", dissolved the lock of the calamity thunder, put away the talisman, and continued to refine the next one.

Under Li Mu's control, the thunderclouds of the weapon disaster seemed to have become a unique accompaniment to his weapon refining process. Whenever a new talisman was born, a scene of thunderclouds gathering and dispersing would be staged in the sky.

However, all this was just an ordinary part in Li Mu's eyes. He focused on the refining in his hands without being distracted.

As high-level talismans were refined and hidden in the "Tian Yan Escape Formation", thunderclouds gathered and dissipated again and again, like a carefully choreographed dance. Although it looked thrilling to outsiders, it was actually under Li Mu's control.

Lin Maoshan left the back mountain with a head full of doubts.

While Li Mu was making talismans and refining weapons, Xiao Mingyue was sitting cross-legged on the ground beside him, using the power of the Heavenly Puppet from the Eight-sided Puppet-Suppressing Plate to temper herself.

Xiao Mingyue is a seventh-level puppet spirit. Although she is still young, she has already shown extraordinary spirituality. She closes her eyes and concentrates, with powerful puppet force fluctuations surrounding her body, which echoes with the power of the heavenly puppet on the eight-sided puppet-suppressing plates, forming a subtle resonance.

As time went by, the power of the puppet spirit in Xiao Mingyue's body gradually increased, and her eyes occasionally flashed with the light of wisdom. Under her guidance, the eight-sided puppet-suppressing plates slowly released a purer and more powerful power of the heavenly puppet. These powers flowed into the sea of ​​puppet spirits in her body like trickles, causing her cultivation to improve steadily without her noticing.

While refining a talisman, Li Mu noticed Xiao Mingyue's changes, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips, praising her. (End of this chapter)
