Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

The man in green robe was silent for a moment, a complex look flashed in his eyes. He doubted what Li Mu said, but could not completely deny it. After all, he was well aware of Wan Guyu's strength. He could fight against six people alone and even die together. Such a feat was indeed in line with his character.

"Fellow Daoist, since the Pavilion Master has passed away, I wonder if the Pavilion Master's order of Wanbao Pavilion... is in your hands?" The man in green robe pondered for a moment, looked at Li Mu, and asked tentatively.

"Pavilion Master's Order! Is this what you are talking about?" Li Mu smiled slightly, then took out the Wanbao Escape Order from the Tianxuan Ring and showed it to the spiritual mirror.

When the green-robed man saw the Wanbao Escape Order in Li Mu's hand, a gleam of fiery light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

The green-robed man took a deep breath, tried to calm his tone, and nodded, saying, "Yes, this is the Pavilion Master's Order of Wanbao Pavilion. Since you hold this order, you must know its importance. I wonder if you can return this order to Wanbao Pavilion? Wanbao Pavilion will definitely thank you generously."

Hearing this, Li Mu smiled slightly, put the Pavilion Master's Order back into the Tianxuan Ring, and said calmly: "There is no need to thank me with generous gifts, but I do have some needs. I wonder if your Pavilion can meet them?"

Seeing that Li Mu did not directly refuse, the green-robed man felt relieved and said quickly, "If you have any needs, please feel free to ask. As long as Wanbao Pavilion can do it, we will do our best to satisfy you."

Li Mu nodded and said slowly: "I need some rare spiritual materials for alchemy, especially Taiyi Qi, Wuji Qi, Nine-Leaf Green Lotus, Ten Thousand Years Earth Vein Stalactite and other things. I wonder if your pavilion can provide them?"

Hearing this, the man in green robe frowned slightly. The high-level spiritual materials that Li Mu asked for were extremely rare and worth a lot of money.

The green-robed man pondered for a moment, then said, "The spiritual materials you need are indeed precious, but my Wanbao Pavilion has a deep foundation and may be able to gather some of them. However, the value of these spiritual materials is extraordinary. If I can gather them for you, are you really willing to exchange them for the Pavilion Master's Order?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said calmly: "The Pavilion Master's Order is a treasure of the Wanbao Pavilion. It is useless for me to keep it. If your pavilion can provide the spiritual materials I need, I will naturally be willing to return this order."

Hearing this, the man in green robe secretly calculated in his heart. At present, they were communicating through the spiritual mirror, and did not know the other party's true identity. He could not take it by force. Although the conditions proposed by the other party were harsh, they were not completely unacceptable. As long as he could get the Pavilion Master's Order back, the losses of Wanbao Pavilion could be minimized.

Thinking of this, the green-robed man nodded and said, "Since you are so sincere, my Wanbao Pavilion is also willing to trade with you. However, the high-level spiritual materials you are looking for are indeed rare, and I need some time to collect them. How about this, give me some time to gather these high-level spiritual materials, and then arrange a time to contact each other spiritually?"

Li Mu nodded slightly, expressing his understanding: "Of course, high-level spiritual materials are indeed not easy to come by, and I am not unreasonable. However, I hope that your pavilion can gather them as soon as possible, as my patience is limited."

The green-robed man hastily assured: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist. My Wanbao Pavilion will do its best to gather all the necessary spiritual materials as soon as possible. Regardless of the progress, how about we contact each other in ten days!"

"Okay. I don't know, what's your name, fellow Taoist?" Li Mu nodded and asked the other party.

The green-robed man was slightly stunned, then he smiled faintly, with a bit of pride in his tone: "My surname is Wan, my given name is Ziliang, and I am the Pavilion Master of the East Branch of Wanbao Pavilion in the Central Plains Spiritual Region. May I know your surname, fellow Taoist?"

Li Mu smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "So it's Pavilion Master Wan. I'm so sorry for my disrespect. My last name is Mu, and I'm just an independent cultivator. I don't need Pavilion Master Wan to worry about me."

Wan Ziliang's eyes flashed with a strange color. He naturally knew that the person who could hold the master's order of Wanbao Pavilion could not be a simple casual cultivator. But the other party was unwilling to reveal more, and he didn't want to ask further, so he changed the subject and said, "Fellow Daoist Mu, within the ten-day period, Wanbao Pavilion will do its best to live up to your trust. If there is any progress during this period, I will communicate with you at any time through the spiritual mirror."

Li Mu nodded gently and said, "That's great. I'll have to trouble Pavilion Master Wan. We'll see you in ten days."

After saying that, Li Mu waved his sleeves lightly, and the light of the spiritual mirror dissipated, and the images of both parties disappeared without a trace in each other's eyes.

Wan Ziliang looked at the gradually dimming light of the spiritual mirror and thought to himself: Who on earth is this Li Mu? How could he possess the Pavilion Master's Order and offer such a rare spiritual material in exchange? However, as long as he could get the Pavilion Master's Order back, all the efforts would be worth it.

On the other side, Li Mu put away the spiritual mirror, and with a thought, the next jade box appeared in his hand.

The surface of the seventh jade box was covered with a layer of faint spiritual light, as if it was isolated from the outside world and formed a world of its own. Li Mu reached out and touched it lightly. The spiritual light on the surface of the jade box fluctuated slightly, and then slowly dissipated, revealing the scene inside.

I saw a disc-shaped object lying quietly in the jade box, covered with complicated patterns and formations, emitting faint starlight, just like the stars in the night sky.

With the innate magical power - the ability to identify all spirits, the attribute information of the disc-shaped object appeared before his eyes.

【Zhou Xinghuan Killing Plate】

[Rank: Seventh-level array]

[Features: Star Illusion Array, Star Domain Movement, Star Resonance, Star Domain, Star Retracement, Ten Thousand Star Array Power.]

[Status: Full of spiritual energy, the formation diagram is complete. ]

【Zhou Xing Fantasy Killing Plate, with the eighth-order meteorite crystal core as the core, supplemented by the seventh-order star crystal sand, sixth-order star jade, and other rare materials, was carefully refined by the hands of the weapon refining master after 9981 processes. This plate is not only a powerful attack and defense magic weapon, but also a rare weapon array. It can use the power of the stars to lay a complex star illusion array, which will make people fall into an endless illusion and unable to extricate themselves. At the same time, it also has the ability to move the star field, and can teleport within a certain range to avoid the enemy's attack. The star resonance and the star field can stimulate the power of the surrounding stars, forming a star field and gathering the array power of ten thousand stars. In this field, the strength of the holder will be greatly enhanced. Star tracing is one of its most mysterious abilities, which can trace the trajectory of the stars and peek into the past, but unfortunately, this ability was damaged during the refining process and cannot be fully exerted.】

Looking at the Zhou Xinghuan Killing Plate in his hand, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Although this array weapon was powerful, the refining method failed to fully utilize its potential, especially the precious eighth-level meteorite crystal core. In the hands of this weapon refining master, it failed to exert its full potential, which was really a waste of resources.

"If I were to refine it, this Zhou Xing Huan Sha Plate would definitely be able to reach a higher level." Li Mu's eyes flashed with a gleam of confidence, and he murmured.
Li Mu has a very deep attainment in the art of refining weapons, and is quite adept at refining star array weapons. If he is given the task of refining, there is a certain chance that he will be able to make an eighth-level array weapon.

Li Mu couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "What a pity that such a rare spiritual material is wasted like this."

Although this Zhou Xinghuan Killing Plate is already a rare treasure, in Li Mu's eyes, it still has room for improvement.

Li Mu carefully looked at the Zhou Xinghuan Killing Plate in his hand, secretly thinking about how to improve it. If he could refine it again, he would definitely make the power of this array plate even higher on the original basis. At the same time, he would be able to repair the damaged star-tracing ability, allowing this magic weapon to truly unleash its full potential.

However, the reality is cruel. It is not easy for Li Mu to refine it again, especially for a high-level array weapon like Zhou Xinghuan Killing Disk. The materials and energy required are huge. Moreover, even if he has superb refining skills, he may not be able to guarantee success every time he refines it. Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn't help but sigh, and retracted his consciousness. He already had the array weapon of the Star Array, and this seventh-level Zhou Xinghuan Killing Disk was better than nothing. Li Mu put it into the Tianxuan Ring and focused on the next jade box.

Li Mu's mind moved again, and the eighth jade box appeared silently in his palm under the control of his mind.

Compared with the previous one, this jade box seems to have a more ancient and vicissitudes of life atmosphere, and the spiritual light flowing on it is also deeper, as if it contains some ancient and mysterious power. The surface of the jade box is engraved with complex patterns, and each pattern seems to be telling a dusty history. The spiritual light flows through it, sometimes like a trickle, sometimes like a stormy wave, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.

Li Mu's gaze became more and more solemn. He slowly stretched out his hand and lightly touched the layer of spiritual light with his fingertips.

The spiritual light trembled slightly, and the restriction that sealed the soul in the jade box was broken. Then it slowly dissipated, revealing the treasure inside the jade box.

At the moment when the jade box was opened and the spiritual light dissipated, a faint fragrance emanated from the jade box. The fragrance seemed to be able to penetrate the human soul and shock people.

In the jade box, there lay a seed that looked ordinary but revealed an extraordinary aura. The seed was the size of a thumb, and its surface was covered with fine lines. The complex lines contained the truth of heaven and earth, and it exuded a faint fragrance, which made people feel peaceful and as if they had realized the truth. The color of the seed was a deep dark green, containing endless vitality and wisdom, which shocked Li Mu.

Under the innate magical power - identifying all spirits, the attribute information of the spirit seed was clearly displayed in Li Mu's eyes.

【Enlightenment Tea Spirit Seed (Sealed)】

[Rank: Eighth Rank Dao Seed]

【Features: Enlightenment of the essence of Tao, the flow of Taoism, spiritual harmony, eternal inheritance, and profound Taoism.】

[Status: Dao rhyme is condensed, spiritual essence is sealed, waiting to be unsealed and awakened]

[The tea seeds produced by the eighth-level enlightenment tea tree. The enlightenment tea tree is a supreme spiritual root that grows in the place where the universe was first divided into chaos. This tree gathers the ultimate truth of heaven and earth and the essence of Taoism. It has gone through thousands of years before it can breed enlightenment tea. This spiritual seed is the tea seed of enlightenment tea. The spirit is deeply hidden in the seed, and the Taoism flows endlessly. Although it has not yet awakened, it already contains endless wisdom and enlightenment. It is the Tao seed for cultivating the eighth-level enlightenment tea tree. It needs to be infused with the power of chaos, planted in the Jiuxu spiritual soil, and watered with a drop of Tianyi divine water before it can break the shell and sprout. ]

Looking at the eighth-level enlightenment tea spirit seed in his palm, Li Mu's eyes flashed with unconcealable surprise. He just happened to fully meet the conditions for unsealing it. He had cultivated a body of Chaos True Essence, and he also had a lot of Jiuxu Spirit Soil in stock. The only Tianyi Divine Water was also in the forbidden collection. It was a pity that now was not a good time to unseal it.

After putting the Enlightenment Tea Spirit Seeds back into the jade box and into the Tianxuan Ring, Li Mu focused his attention on the last jade box.

The ninth jade box slowly appeared in Li Mu's palm under his control. Compared with the previous eight jade boxes, this one was very different. There was no spiritual light flowing on its surface, nor any complicated patterns. Instead, it showed a simple and unadorned texture, as if it had gone through countless years of baptism and precipitated a breath of returning to nature.

The material of the jade box looks ordinary, but it gives people an unfathomable feeling, as if it contains some kind of power beyond the mundane.

Li Mu's eyes fell on the jade box, and a hint of expectation arose in his heart. The weight of the jade box in his hand was unexpectedly light, as if there was nothing inside, but this was just an appearance.

Li Mu took a deep breath and slowly opened the jade box.

I saw that, in the jade box, there was an ancient scroll lying quietly. On the scroll, there were complicated and mysterious patterns embroidered with golden silk threads. Those patterns seemed to contain some kind of truth of heaven and earth. People felt awe at the first glance, and an ancient and profound breath came to their faces.

Under the innate magical power - identifying all spirits, all the attribute information of the scroll was displayed in front of Li Mu.

【Wanbaoding Refining Method】

【Status: Divine pattern waiting to be activated.】

【This Wanbao Ding refining method is the pinnacle of the art of weapons, and records the supreme secret method of refining the Wanbao Ding, an eighth-level treasure. A master of weapon refining needs to be in awe and master the divine-level weapon refining skills in order to gradually uncover its hidden mysteries. The refining method contained in the weapon scroll is natural in every link, and it is difficult for those who are not extraordinary in the art of weapons to understand its mysteries. The first method is "Chaos Furnace", the second method is "Five Elements Reincarnation", the third method is "Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil", the fourth method is "Star Refining", the fifth method is "Spiritual Treasure Return to the True Self", and the last method is "Ten Thousand Treasures in One", ..., one needs to enter the realm of unity between heaven and man to thoroughly comprehend the weapon scroll and master the supreme method of refining the Wanbao Ding. When refining, one needs to gather the spiritual materials of heaven and earth and integrate the essence of all treasures to create a peerless artifact that will shock the world.】

On the scroll, there were countless mysterious runes and formation diagrams densely recorded. Every stroke contained the ultimate truth of heaven and earth. Li Mu's eyes slowly swept across the scroll, and his heart was shocked. These runes and formation diagrams were the supreme secrets of the way of refining weapons - the refining method of Wanbaoding!
"Wanbaoding..." Li Mu murmured in a low voice, with a fiery light flashing in his eyes.

This scroll actually completely recorded the refining method of the ninth-level Taoist weapon - the Wanbao Ding. How could Li Mu not be extremely excited?
Li Mu took a deep breath and immersed himself completely in the scroll. The runes and formation diagrams on the scroll seemed to come alive, turning into streams of light that poured into his mind. His consciousness seemed to be pulled into a strange space, surrounded by endless voids, with countless bright stars suspended in the void, each of which represented a secret of refining equipment.

"The Wanbao Ding uses the heaven and earth as a furnace and the stars as fire to smelt everything and create a supreme artifact..." An ancient and majestic voice sounded in Li Mu's mind, as if explaining to him the method of refining the Wanbao Ding. (End of this chapter)
