Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

The light of the teleportation array suddenly flashed, and then quickly dissipated. Li Mu's figure appeared in an unfamiliar sea area. He expanded his spiritual sense, which was like an invisible net, covering thousands of miles of sea.

Soon, Li Mu's eyes were fixed on an uninhabited deserted island. The island was covered with dense vegetation and the air was filled with rich spiritual energy. It was like an uncut jade, lying quietly in the vast ocean, waiting to be discovered by someone with a destiny.

After confirming again and again that there were no other cultivators on the island, Li Mu flashed and flew over the island.

"This place is good, let's use it as a temporary residence." Li Mu thought to himself, then his figure flashed and landed on the island. He skillfully arranged some defensive prohibitions and magic arrays to conceal the island, ensuring that it would be difficult for outsiders to spy on and disturb him.

Then, Li Mu lightly tapped the storage ring, and a magical tool for traveling - the Square House appeared in his hand.

As Li Mu's mind moved, the square house swelled in the wind and turned into a spacious single-family courtyard. The courtyard was fully equipped with a weapon refining room, a practice room, and a meditation room, providing him with a perfect place to practice.

After doing all this, Li Mu smiled with satisfaction, dived into the training room, summoned the Painting World Treasure Palace, and his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot. Only a colorful Ruyi from the Painting World Treasure Palace was left, slowly floating in the center of the training room, with a hazy light flowing on it, which was extremely agile.

Li Mu appeared in the Painting World Treasure House, and a pure spiritual power rushed towards him. As far as he could see, he saw a fairyland-like cave world with mountains, water, clouds and fog, just like a flowing ink painting. The mountains were undulating, the forests were colorful, the mountain streams were gurgling, and the bottom was clear. The fish in the water swam happily, occasionally jumping out of the water, splashing a little water, and sparkling with crystal light in the sun.

The most amazing thing is that the concentration of spiritual energy in the treasure house space has reached the level of liquefaction, and the air is filled with a faint spiritual mist, as if being in a sea of ​​spiritual energy.

The Five Elements Spiritual Mountain stands in the center, with a palace complex on the top of the mountain. A waterfall falls from the Five Elements Spiritual Mountain to the Spiritual Pond at the foot of the mountain. Below the mountain is a vast expanse of spiritual fields, which are distributed in an orderly manner according to the layout of the five elements. On the spiritual fields, there are planted a large number of five-element, sixth-order, and seventh-order spiritual plants. They respectively present the five colors of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which are intertwined and endless. Many fourth- and fifth-order spiritual plants have lush branches and leaves, and abundant fruits, which make people salivate.

As for those sixth- and seventh-level five-element spiritual plants, they are even more precious. Each plant exudes a faint spiritual light, as if containing the ultimate truth between heaven and earth. Their roots are deeply rooted in the spiritual fields, absorbing the essence of the Five Elements Spiritual Mountain and the heaven and earth, constantly growing and growing. The spiritual power above the spiritual fields is so rich that it is almost liquefied, forming a thin layer of spiritual mist, gently lingering on every inch of the spiritual fields, like a carefully painted pastoral painting.

Outside the Five Elements Spiritual Fields, there are lush green bamboo forests, starry woods covered with starlight, spiritual fruit gardens emitting alluring fragrance, and spiritual fields corresponding to yin and yang, where a large number of sixth and seventh-level yin and yang spiritual plants are planted. The power of time and space is condensed in the air, where the time and space spiritual lotus is suspended. Each petal of the lotus seems to carry the mystery of time and space, and as it sways gently, heart-pounding time and space fluctuations emanate from it.

At the border of the treasure house where the Space-Time Spirit Lotus is planted, there is a space-time magic array made up of rare materials. It continuously provides the Space-Time Spirit Lotus with stable space-time power, allowing it to thrive in this cave world.

……

Wherever Li Mu's spiritual consciousness passed, the conditions of the many spiritual plants in the Painting World Treasure House were clearly reflected in his mind. The growth conditions and spiritual power fluctuations of each spiritual plant could not escape his perception.

Because the Painting World Treasure Mansion swallowed up the spiritual energy that was intercepted by the Chaos Sealing Array last time, the quality of the spiritual energy in the space has been qualitatively improved. In a short period of time, Li Mu no longer has to worry about the growth of many spiritual plants in the treasure mansion.

However, this time all the five elements and yin and yang spiritual plants from the seven secret realms were transplanted into the treasure house. The huge demand for the growth of spiritual plants was ultimately a huge burden for the painting world treasure house.

Although when transplanting the spiritual plants from the seven extreme secret realms, Li Mu also took the opportunity to collect a large number of rare spiritual materials from the seven extreme realms into the treasure house, providing the treasure house with a rich foundation and the things needed for the growth of many high-level spiritual plants, but the treasure house spirit is ultimately just a cave magic weapon and cannot generate rhythm and spiritual power on its own.

Planting millions of high-level spiritual plants in the treasure house is undoubtedly an unprecedented challenge for it.

Although the spiritual power in the Painting World Treasure Palace was still abundant, as time went by, Li Mu could feel that the fatigue and pressure originating from deep within the treasure palace were quietly growing.

In order to completely solve this situation, a complete solution needs to be implemented as soon as possible.

Now, the Chaos Sealing Array has collapsed, and the seven array centers of the seven extreme secret realms and the seven ninth-level divine objects have fled one after another, becoming ownerless objects, scattered between heaven and earth.

These seven ninth-rank divine objects not only possess incredible powers, but are also able to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on their own. If they can be found and integrated into the Painting World Treasure House, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance the Treasure House's ability to be self-sufficient in spiritual power.

If possible, Li Mu would like to gather all the seventh- and ninth-level divine objects to rebuild the foundation of the instrument for the Painting World Treasure House, so that it can truly evolve itself and become an everlasting cave world.

Once this idea took root in Li Mu's mind, it grew wildly like weeds. If he could complete this plan, it would not only be a reconstruction of the Painting World Palace, but also lay an unbreakable foundation for his future practice of the Avenue of Chaos.

"Owner!"

"Brother Li!"

"Master, have you dealt with the enemy that was chasing us?"

……

Sensing Li Mu's arrival, the blue-eyed golden ape - Xiaojin, the black jade rock lizard - Xiaowa, the red fire phoenix, the blue moon true dragon, the green jade ginseng king, and the nine-tailed sky fox - Xue'er appeared one after another, surrounded him, their eyes full of concern for Li Mu.

"Well, it's solved. Go practice now! It's all right!"

Li Mu smiled and comforted the beasts, then nodded affectionately to Xue'er.

Upon hearing this, all the Beastmasters breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other, obeyed the order and left, leaving Li Mu and Xue'er behind.

After watching the beast masters leave, Xue'er stepped forward and took Li Mu's hand, asking with concern: "Brother Li, what's the situation outside now? Who is chasing you?"

Hearing Xue'er's question, Li Mu immediately knew that she was overthinking and thought that the Demon Abyss was chasing him, so he quickly explained with a smile: "It's not what you think. Although the Sealing Array has collapsed, the invasion of the Demon Abyss should still have some time. It's just that when we were chasing the Ninth Order Earth Vein Divine Fire, we encountered some troubles..."

Soon after, Li Mu was about to pursue the Earth Vein Divine Fire and accidentally landed on the Fire Dragon Island. The Fire Dragon clan on the island, their sacred object - the Dragon Emperor's Heart Flame was stolen by the Earth Vein Divine Fire... and he told Xue'er in detail about being hunted down by the Fiery Ancestor.

"So that's how it is. Brother Li blocked a knife for the Earth Vein Divine Fire in vain!" Xue'er suddenly realized and said with some amusement. "Yeah, I didn't expect this to happen," Li Mu shook his head helplessly, and then laughed again: "However, this is also a rare experience. At least I got an eighth-level fire dragon corpse. When it is refined into a thousand swords, the power of Wanjian Mountain will be increased by another level!"

"Brother Li, aren't you going to chase the ninth-level earth vein divine fire?" Xue'er asked in surprise.

Li Mu smiled slightly, his eyes deep, and said with a smile: "Chase, of course we still have to chase. But not now. The Earth Vein Divine Fire is the treasure of heaven and earth, full of spirituality. Now it has just awakened from a thousand-year slumber, and it has stolen the Dragon Emperor's Heart Flame, and attracted a strong enemy like the Fiery Ancestor. If we chase it now, it may cause some trouble, which will put us in greater trouble. It is not appropriate."

Li Mu paused as he thought of something, then continued, "After the Earth Vein Divine Fire absorbed the Dragon Emperor's Heart Flame, its strength must have greatly increased. I may not be able to subdue it in a short period of time, so I plan to stop for a while and wait for it to stabilize before looking for an opportunity to act."

"Besides, the Chaos Sealing Array has disintegrated, and the passage to the three realms has been opened. The forces of the Demon Abyss will definitely invade our realm. The current situation is still unclear, so don't run around. The first priority is to ensure your own safety and improve your strength." Li Mu's expression became serious, and he looked at Xue'er and reminded her: "Xue'er, you and I need to practice more diligently and improve our strength to cope with the coming storm."

"Brother Li, I just came out of retreat and you want me to go back to practice again..." Xue'er frowned and said aggrievedly.

Hearing this, Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly comforted him, "I understand, but I plan to concentrate on refining equipment for a while, so I'm afraid I won't have time to accompany you."

"Brother Li, I understand. You can go ahead and refine the weapon without any worries!" Xue'er smiled in understanding and nodded slightly.

Li Mu smiled with relief, held Xue'er's hand tightly, and was gentle with her for a while.

Afterwards, Li Mu began to prepare for refining weapons. He was able to successfully refine 1,500 seventh-level Dao swords at an extremely fast speed because of the power of the Chaos Sealing Array.

Now, without the help of the Chaos Sealing Array, the difficulty of refining a thousand seventh-level Dao swords at once will increase significantly.

Fortunately, what Li Mu had the most was time. He first summoned the corpse of the eighth-level fire dragon, dismembered it, divided it, and processed it preliminarily for the purpose of refining Taoist soldiers.

The entire space seemed to be shaken when the thousand-foot dragon corpse appeared. The corpse of the eighth-level fire dragon lay in the center of the Five Elements Spirit Palace, majestic and imposing, like an insurmountable mountain. The dragon corpse still retained its majesty and domineering aura. Even though it had fallen, the dragon's might still made people feel awe.

Before the death of Old Ancestor Liehuo, the blood essence of the Dragon Emperor that he swallowed still had residual power. The purple-red dragon scales gleamed with a metallic luster, and each piece looked like a carefully carved work of art, tough and gorgeous. The dragon bones were as tall and straight as pillars of heaven, emitting a faint fluorescence, and contained the powerful force of dragon essence. One could feel that shocking power.

The dragon corpse's eyes were tightly closed, but it seemed as if they would open at any time, spewing out flames that were enough to burn everything. The majesty and power that came from deep in its blood was enough to make people tremble. Compared with the Qingyue True Dragon, the difference in realm was like heaven and earth.

Feeling the majestic aura of the dragon corpse, Xue'er exclaimed: "What a terrifying dragon power! Is this the corpse of an eighth-level fire dragon? Brother Li, you are so amazing that you can kill it alone!"

Li Mu smiled slightly, looking at Xue'er's astonished expression, a sense of satisfaction surged in his heart.

"Go ahead and do your work! I'm going to take care of this corpse, and it's going to be a bit bloody!"

Hearing this, Xue'er gladly accepted the order. Knowing that this was not the time to be sentimental, she immediately stepped back and said, "Brother Li, go ahead and do your work! I'll go prepare some food for you."

After Xue'er left, Li Mu's expression became solemn and focused. Dealing with the corpse of this eighth-level dragon was not an easy task. However, with the previous experience of dealing with the corpse of a magic dragon, there was no need to remove the evil spirit, so dealing with the corpse of this fire dragon was much simpler.

Li Mu started his work with ease. The first thing he did was to obtain dragon blood. This eighth-level dragon blood was very valuable. The dragon essence power contained in it could not only be used to refine elixirs, but also be used as an important spiritual material for drawing talismans and making spiritual ink.

Li Mu summoned out an exquisite liquid storage bottle with intricate runes engraved on the bottle body, which could preserve the activity and power of dragon blood to the maximum extent.

Li Mu summoned a seventh-level Taoist sword, injected spiritual power into it, and slashed the dragon corpse's neck blood vessels with force. Unlike ordinary beasts, the eighth-level fire dragon's blood did not gush out immediately, but seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, flowing continuously into the liquid bottle in Li Mu's hand, tens of thousands of pounds.

The color of dragon blood is as bright red as agate, with a faint golden luster, and it exudes a fiery breath that makes people dare not look directly at it.

After a large amount of dragon blood was collected, Li Mu began to peel off the dragon scales and took out a skinning knife. Although this skinning knife was called a "knife", it was actually an extremely sophisticated Taoist weapon, specially used to process rare materials without damaging their essence.

Li Mu held the skinning knife in his hand, and spiritual power flowed through it, causing the blade to glow with a faint blue light, as if wrapped in a layer of mist. He gently touched the dragon corpse, not cutting it this time, but guiding the dragon scales to separate from the dragon body in a gentle way.

The skinning knife moved among the dragon scales, and each scale was removed accurately without damaging the scales themselves or leaving any traces on the dragon corpse, demonstrating Li Mu's superb skills and exquisite control of spiritual power.

Dragon scales were flying in the air like brilliant sparks, each piece flashing with dazzling light and emitting a faint warmth, which was proof that the dragon essence had not yet dissipated. Finally, one by one, they were collected by Li Mu into the Tianxuan Ring.

After dealing with the dragon scales, Li Mu did not immediately start working on the dragon bones. Instead, he first checked the inside of the dragon corpse to confirm whether there were other precious internal organs that could be used.

Sure enough, in the dragon's belly, Li Mu found a fist-sized red dragon ball, which contained the power of fire. It was the concentrated embodiment of the dragon corpse's fire origin. The old ancestor Liehuo condensed the essence of his Mahayana cultivation into this ball.

This is a top-grade material for refining weapons. Li Mu put it away solemnly. Next, he peeled off the dragon tendons, dragon meat, dragon bones, etc. Dragon tendons are extremely tough and are an excellent material for refining ropes and whip-like magical weapons.

Li Mu carefully cut open the dragon's spine with a skinning knife, and the dragon's tendons came out, as hard as steel, but with great toughness. He slowly pulled them out, and each one was winding like a long snake, flashing a fiery red light.

Dragon meat may not be a direct material for cultivation, but it contains the dragon essence of the Great Accomplishment Fire Dragon, which is a treasure that many low-level spirit beasts dream of. Li Mu cut it into pieces, froze it and stored it properly, preparing to refine it into pills, cook spiritual food, or use it to feed the beasts to enhance their strength.

……

The thousand-foot-long dragon's corpse was like a small mountain, and Li Mu was like an ant in front of it, busy and having fun. (End of this chapter)
