Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Soon, nine kinds of seventh-level spiritual materials with different properties were refined into a seventh-level puppet with a chaotic aura by Li Mu. However, this puppet was completely different from the fourth-level puppet he had tried before, because without the source core, it was impossible to drive the puppet's body and generate the puppet's spirit.

"Master, this won't work! It will only waste high-level spiritual materials!"

Seeing this, Mingyue couldn't help but become anxious. Her bright eyes were full of anxiety as she advised Li Mudao.

Li Mu smiled slightly, his eyes were deep without any panic, he already had a plan in mind.

"Don't worry, Mingyue, I have my own plan." Li Mu smiled and comforted, reaching out to gently stroke the seventh-level puppet in front of him that exuded a chaotic aura, and said in a deep voice: "Without the source core, it is indeed a problem, but it does not mean that it cannot be solved."

As he spoke, Li Mu summoned a large piece of Sky Flame Dragon Scales and a ball of Sky Flame Dragon Bones from the Tianxuan Ring, and then summoned three balls of Sky Fire from his body.

"Since this Chaos Puppet cannot generate its own source core, we can use external force to bless it and refine a set of Dao Armor for it. The spirit of the Dao Armor will help it to generate its puppet spirit."

There was unquestionable firmness in Li Mu's words. He flicked his fingers and the three balls of sky fire immediately dispersed into spiritual forms.

"The fire from the sky is the furnace, condense!"

Li Mu shouted in a deep voice, and the next moment, three balls of heavenly fire responded to his call, expanding instantly and turning into a huge three-colored furnace, suspended in the air. The flames in the furnace were blazing, melting everything.

The next moment, Li Mu revealed his chaotic Taoist body, clasped his hands together, and injected the surging power of chaos into it frantically. With a thought, large pieces of Sky Flame Dragon scales and several dragon bones flew into the Sky Fire Refining Furnace.

The Sky Flame Dragon Scales and the dragon bones were immediately wrapped in three-color flames as soon as they entered the furnace, emitting dragon-like roars. The flame patterns on the scales seemed to be activated, flashing dazzling light.

Li Mu's divine consciousness was like that of a sophisticated craftsman, carefully carving each dragon scale and controlling the sky fire to soften the eighth-level sky flame dragon scales and dragon bones. At the same time, with a movement of his divine consciousness, he took out a ball of seventh-level snow silk and a golden armor-piercing needle from the Tianxuan Ring, driving them with his divine consciousness.

"Snow silk is tough, the golden needle can break armor, and the dragon bone can give life to soul. When the three are combined, the dragon armor will be indestructible!" Li Mu whispered, and with a slight movement of his fingers, the armor-breaking golden needle with the seventh-order snow silk came out like a spirit snake and fell gently into the furnace.

Soon, under Li Mu's control, the armor-piercing golden needle turned into a golden light, carrying the snow silk and quickly shuttling through the dragon scales, allowing the dragon scales and the snow silk to merge with each other and quickly weave into a majestic dragon scale armor.

Li Mu was busy with several things at once. His spiritual thoughts enveloped the Heavenly Fire Furnace and he controlled the Heavenly Fire to refine the dragon bones. Under the fierce tempering of the Heavenly Fire, the dragon bones gradually became crystal clear. The remaining dragon soul power was being awakened by the Heavenly Fire and the power of chaos, and was slowly merging into the dragon armor embryo.

As the dragon bones were integrated, the dragon armor began to exude an ancient and solemn aura, as if a dragon soul was sleeping in it, waiting for the moment of awakening.

Li Mu's divine consciousness was like an invisible net, covering the Skyfire Refining Furnace. He formed seals with his hands, and the power of chaos surged out, creating a strong resonance with the dragon armor in the furnace. He used his divine consciousness as a pen and the power of chaos as ink to carve an array on the dragon armor embryo.

"Dragon Soul Weapon Array, condense!" Li Mu shouted in a low voice, and his mind was like a pen, successfully outlining a complex weapon array inside the dragon armor. Many forces were intertwined in the array, perfectly integrating the power of chaos, the spirituality of dragon scales, the soul power of dragon bones and the toughness of snow silk, which would give life to the dragon armor.

As the array was completed, the light on the dragon armor embryo became more and more dazzling, as if countless tiny dragon shadows were swimming in it. It was a wonderful sight produced by the interweaving of the power of dragon soul and the power of chaos.

The dragon armor embryo took shape. Without hesitation, Li Mu pinched the magic formula with his hands and used the power of chaos to condense the three thousand divine patterns to condense the dragon armor pattern.

Li Mu's fingers flew, and the power of chaos gathered and manifested the phantoms of divine patterns, which were poured into the dragon scale armor in the Skyfire Refining Furnace one after another. At this moment, he was like a highly skilled painter, sketching a gorgeous and beautiful pattern on the dragon scale armor.

These spiritual patterns were not made at random, but were the result of his careful consideration and meticulous design. Each divine pattern carried specific functions and powers. They were intertwined and echoed with each other, forming a huge and complex network of divine patterns.

"The first one, the five elements protect the body, condense!" Li Mu shouted in a low voice, and the first weapon pattern composed of nearly a hundred divine patterns instantly emerged on the surface of the dragon armor embryo, covering the dragon armor with a layer of invisible dragon scale armor, enhancing its defensive capabilities.

"The second one, the power of Hunyuan, condense!" Li Mu shouted again, and then the second weapon pattern appeared on the dragon scale armor.

"The third one, the resonance of the dragon soul, condense!" Li Mu's voice echoed around the refining furnace. Along with his low shout, the third pattern rose into the air like a dragon, entwined around the dragon armor embryo, and produced a strong resonance with the dragon soul power inside the dragon armor.

At this moment, the Heavenly Fire Refining Furnace seemed to have become a bridge connecting heaven and earth. The flames in the furnace were blazing, but they were no longer just simple flames, but had been integrated with the spiritual power and chaotic power between heaven and earth. These forces were surging and intertwined in the furnace, forming a magnificent picture.

In the sky, the originally calm clouds began to surge, as if attracted by the power in the refining furnace. A large amount of spiritual power from heaven and earth surged from all directions like a tide and gathered above the refining furnace. These spiritual powers condensed into gorgeous spiritual clouds on the top of the furnace, emitting dazzling light, illuminating the entire refining field like daylight.

"The fourth one, spiritual protection from heaven and earth, condense!" Li Mu formed seals with his hands and guided the spiritual power between heaven and earth into the refining furnace, fusing it with the dragon armor embryo. With the completion of this pattern, a layer of faint spiritual light emerged on the surface of the dragon armor. This layer of spiritual light seemed to be able to isolate all damage and provide unparalleled protection for the wearer.

……

As the patterns condensed, the light on the dragon armor embryo became brighter and brighter, as if countless tiny dragon shadows were swimming and circling in it. They echoed with the spiritual power between heaven and earth, forming a magnificent scene.

At this moment, the Skyfire Refining Furnace is no longer a simple refining tool, but a mysterious existence that gathers the power of heaven and earth and the power of chaos. It exudes a powerful aura that shakes the entire treasure house space.

Just as the 28th weapon pattern was formed, the three-colored flames in the refining furnace suddenly gathered into a thick pillar of light, rushing straight into the sky. In the light pillar, the dragon shadow was tumbling and the dragon soul was roaring. A seventh-grade Taoist weapon was born, and it turned into a miniature red dragon. Its body was crystal clear, and its scales were flashing with a glow of fiery red and gold. The dragon's eyes were smart, containing endless wisdom and majesty.

The little red dragon circled in the air for a circle, and the next moment, it tried to escape from this space. However, Li Mu was prepared. He stretched out his hand and the power of confusion unfolded, like an invisible net, instantly covering the little red dragon.

The little red dragon was very intelligent, but it seemed too immature in front of Li Mu, the creator. It struggled a few times, but ultimately could not escape the clutches of the devil, so it had no choice but to stop struggling, with its head lowered, as if to show its submission. Li Mu smiled slightly, summoned a spirit sword from the Tianxuan Ring, and scratched his finger. A drop of blood flowed out from the fingertip, containing Li Mu's blood and soul mark, and slowly floated towards the bound little red dragon. The dragon armor spirit felt this pure power from the creator, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but more of awe for this power.

"With my blood and your soul, from now on, you will be my partner, named 'Long Yi'." Li Mu's low and solemn voice echoed in the space, and every word seemed to carry an irresistible magic.

The drop of blood condensed into a complex rune in the air and slowly merged into Xiaolong's forehead. Xiaolong's body shook violently, and then burst into an even more dazzling light. The dragon's roar sounded again, but this time, it was no longer angry or fearful, but full of excitement and joy.

After the contract was completed, the body of the Dragon Armor Spirit seemed to become more solid, and the dragon's might became stronger.

Feeling the blood connection established with Daojia Spirit, Li Mu smiled slightly, looked at the seventh-level soulless puppet floating beside him, and gestured: "Go! Use it as a body to help it give birth to a soul."

Hearing this, a hint of curiosity and excitement flashed across Long Yi's eyes. He circled around, turned into a stream of light, and rushed directly towards the seventh-level soulless puppet suspended in the air.

Long Yi's body gradually merged into the puppet, and the surface of the puppet began to emit a faint red light, as if activated by a mysterious force. A set of majestic dragon scale armor then emerged on the puppet's torso.

As Long Yi's armor merged with the puppet, subtle changes began to occur in the puppet's body. The originally cold metal texture was gradually replaced by a texture as warm as jade, and the puppet patterns flowing on it became more vivid, as if they had life. The puppet's eyes suddenly lit up. Those were Long Yi's eyes, full of agility and wisdom.

At this moment, Mingyue was stunned. She could never have imagined that Li Mu would "resurrect" this soulless puppet in this way.

"Master, this, how can this be possible?" As the spirit of the puppet, Mingyue really could not accept such a situation. Replacing the spirit of the puppet with the spirit of the instrument was simply unheard of, and it completely overturned her understanding of the way of puppetry.

"Why not? They lead to the same goal. The puppet spirit and the weapon spirit are both acquired spirits. As the weapon spirit, Long Yi is in tune with my mind. Its integration will not only make this puppet more powerful, but also enable it to condense into a source core sooner, thus solving the problem of its body being without a soul." Li Mu smiled and asked back.

"But, this, this, that, the puppet's spirit and the weapon's spirit are two different things, how can it exert the power of the puppet's body?" Mingyue was still not satisfied with the answer and retorted unwillingly.

Li Mu smiled slightly and asked, "Why are you so eager to let the weapon spirit exert the power of the puppet body? When the puppet spirit is born and combined with Long Yi's weapon spirit, the two will evolve into a new form of existence. This will be a great attempt to integrate the way of puppets and the way of weapon spirits."

"Master, you mean..." Mingyue widened her eyes, as if she understood Li Mu's intention, but she didn't dare to believe it completely.

"That's right. I want Long Yi to evolve with this puppet to form an unprecedented life form. This life form will have the toughness and strength of a puppet, as well as the spirituality of a spirit weapon. It will no longer be a simple puppet, nor a simple spirit weapon, but a perfect combination of the two." Li Mu's eyes flashed with excitement and he laughed heartily.

As Li Mu finished speaking, the seventh-level puppet that had been fused with the dragon armor began to undergo amazing changes. Its body was no longer a simple metal structure, but was endowed with the rhythm of life. The dragon scale armor was perfectly integrated with its body, emitting a strong dragon's might. The puppet's limbs began to move slowly, and each movement was accompanied by a slight crackling sound in the air, which was a manifestation of the extreme accumulation of power.

Long Yi's consciousness completely dominated the puppet, but its existence went beyond the simple relationship of control and being controlled. A deep resonance seemed to have formed between the two. It slowly raised its arms and tapped lightly with its fingertips. Ripples actually appeared in the air, which were the traces of space being slightly distorted by its power.

"The time to witness a miracle has come." Li Mu said softly, staring at Long Yi's condition, his eyes full of anticipation.

The puppet stood up in the air, and Long Yi's spiritual power was fully released. The nearly ten-foot-long puppet's body shrank by half, and it was wearing a red full-body armor. The armor was covered with dragon scales, flashing with cold light, and contained endless power and majesty.

The seventh-level dragon scale armor not only enhances the puppet's defense, but also gives it an indescribable noble temperament. The puppet's arms become more slender and powerful, and a faint dragon breath can be vaguely seen between the fingers. Every swing seems to be able to tear the space apart, showing amazing destructive power.

Its eyes, the dragon eyes of the Dragon Scale Dao Armor spiritual weapon, have two different-colored vertical pupils, one blue and one green. They are deep and bright, as if they can see through everything in the world, revealing a kind of transcendent wisdom and domineering.

A faint dragon-shaped energy surrounded the puppet, which was the embodiment of Long Yi's soul power, making the whole puppet look like a real dragon that was about to soar into the sky, majestic and inviolable.

"Long Yi, meet the master!"

The voice of the Dragon Armor Puppet echoed in the air. It was a tone that was both ancient and powerful, delicate yet majestic, and perfectly integrated into the mechanical texture of the puppet. It leaned slightly in the air, completing an elegant and solemn greeting gesture, showing absolute loyalty and respect to Li Mu.

"You can move around in this space and get familiar with this body. Just don't cause any damage to the spiritual plants!" Li Mu nodded with a smile and warned.

Long Yi is a newborn spirit. After integrating with this puppet, he has more freedom to move. He needs more time to get familiar with this body.

"Yes, master. I will be careful!" Long Yi responded respectfully, looking around with curiosity.

The fusion of the seventh-order puppet and the seventh-order Taoist armor, when the puppet's spirit is born, coupled with the dragon scale armor that can defend against the Taoist's attack, and the puppet's body that is not afraid of death, its combat effectiveness far exceeds that of ordinary combined cultivators.

Li Mu's mind moved. There were many high-level spiritual materials stored in the Tianxuan Ring, including a large amount of Sky Flame Dragon scales and dragon bones. It would not be a problem to refine a few more such dragon guard puppets to use as trump cards.

Thinking of this, Li Mu's eyes became hot. Having more Dragon Guard puppets would greatly enhance their strength and safety.

So Li Mu acted quickly.

As time went by, Li Mu consumed a large amount of high-level spiritual materials, Sky Flame Dragon Scales, and Dragon Bones, and refined thirteen Dragon Guard puppets. They were clad in dragon scale armor, exuding a powerful dragon might and revealing a strong aura. (End of this chapter)
