Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Li Mu sat in the alchemy room in the Five Elements Palace, surrounded by complicated array patterns, which were like winding snakes, emitting a faint spiritual light, shrouding the entire alchemy room in a quiet atmosphere. The array pattern was not only used to isolate external interference, but also to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to ensure the concentration and stability of the alchemy process.

Li Mu's mind moved, and the Tianxuan Ring flashed with spiritual light. Several high-level spiritual medicines and a small green porcelain bottle floated beside him, held up by an invisible force.

With the innate magical power - the ability to identify all spirits, the properties of high-level spiritual medicines needed to refine Taiyi Daodan appeared in Li Mu's eyes one by one.

Extracting its essence, it contains the essence of life, has the effect of reversing life and death, and reshaping the Purple Sky spirit body. It can be called a great treasure between heaven and earth. ]

Li Mu's eyes moved slightly, and he secretly admired it in his heart. This branch of the Purple Sky Divine Wood is indeed extraordinary, worthy of being the best among the seventh-level spiritual woods. Its Purple Sky Qi and Thunder Power complement each other, which is one of the keys to refining Taiyi Daodan.

【Taiyi Qi】

It is a rare spiritual material for refining high-level Daodan.]

After a thousand years, it matures nine times, representing a transformation and sublimation of life.

It is a magical medicine for refining the Nine-turn Resurrection Pill and transforming oneself. Taking it directly can greatly strengthen the bones, nourish and strengthen the soul, prolong life, and inspire the supreme enlightenment of practitioners. 】

The corners of Li Mu's mouth rose slightly, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart. This Nine-Turn Ganoderma Lucidum was obtained by him by chance. It took nine thousand years to mature. Its spirituality was strong enough to drive any alchemist crazy. With it, the success rate of Taiyi Daodan would be greatly improved.

The three main ingredients and more than a dozen auxiliary ingredients of Taiyi Daodan are ready.

Li Mu's mind moved, and the Starlight Alchemy Furnace appeared and hung in the center of the alchemy room. The patterns of the Big Dipper on the furnace body lit up one by one, making the whole alchemy room seem as if it was in a vast sea of ​​stars. Faint starlight flowed on the surface of the furnace, as if echoing the stars in the sky, exuding a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

Li Mu sat cross-legged, silently reciting the Chaos Dao Sutra. The Chaos True Essence in his body surged, and he clasped his hands together, slowly injecting the Chaos True Essence into the Starlight Alchemy Furnace.

With a "crash", the moment the Starlight Alchemy Furnace was activated, life seemed to awaken inside the furnace, and a slight hum rose from the bottom of the furnace, like the call of the ancient stars, penetrating the shackles of time and space. As Li Mu continued to inject the Chaos True Essence, a bright spark gradually gathered at the bottom of the furnace. The spark was as small as a bean at first, but it expanded rapidly under the nourishment of the True Essence, turning into a gorgeous sea of ​​fire, illuminating the entire furnace cavity.

This spark is not ordinary fire, but a fusion of the chaotic true essence in Li Mu's body and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It contains the profound meaning of the simplicity of the great way. Its temperature is high enough to melt all things, but it gently wraps the medicinal materials in the furnace, preventing any medicinal properties from being lost.

Soon, the sparks in the furnace gradually rose under Li Mu's control, and the flames took on a light blue color, as if echoing the stars in the sky.

To refine Taiyi Daodan, one needs Taiyi Qi, supplemented by rare spiritual medicines such as the Nine-Turn Spirit Lotus and the Purple Sky Divine Wood. It must go through 81 tedious steps before it can be condensed. The process is extremely complicated and takes a very long time.

However, this is not a problem at all for Li Mu. He practices the Great Dao of Chaos and possesses level 7 alchemy. He can use some secret techniques to greatly simplify the process of making Taiyi Daodan while at the same time maintaining the efficacy of Taiyi Daodan.

As Li Mu's mind moved, the small green porcelain bottle opened, and a stream of Taiyi Qi was pulled invisibly and flowed out from it. Following the guidance of Li Mu's mind, it quickly sank into the Starlight Alchemy Furnace.

As soon as the Taiyi Qi entered the furnace, it immediately resonated with the chaotic true essence that had been pre-arranged in the furnace. The entire alchemy furnace seemed to be wrapped in a layer of faint misty glow. The space inside the furnace seemed to be infinitely magnified at this moment, forming a miniature universe. Various laws of heaven and earth were vaguely visible, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent alchemy process.

Then, Li Mu skillfully threw the branch of the Purple Sky Divine Wood into the furnace. With a slight thunder, the branch instantly turned into specks of purple light, interweaving with the Taiyi Qi, like a dance of stars and lightning, dazzling and brilliant. The life essence and thunder power contained in the purple light began to slowly penetrate into every inch of space in the furnace, injecting endless vitality into the formation of the elixir.

Afterwards, the Nine-Turn Ganoderma was carefully placed in the furnace center. The nine-color halo on it and the chaotic essence in the furnace reflected each other. The fluorescence on the surface of the Ganoderma gradually merged into the liquid medicine. A stream of clear and mellow breath spread out, making people feel relaxed and happy. The spirituality of the Ganoderma seemed to be completely awakened at this moment, and began to guide the essence of other medicinal materials, moving towards a higher level of integration.

Li Mu's expression was focused, his hands quickly condensed the alchemy formula, and the chaotic true essence released with the alchemy formula, injected into the Xinghui alchemy furnace, accelerating the fusion and transformation of the liquid medicine in the furnace. The Taiyi Qi gradually emitted a mysterious light in the furnace fire, the Nine-transformation Ganoderma lucidum turned into a ball of crystal clear spiritual liquid, and the Purple Sky Divine Wood quickly softened,...

Li Mu had a solemn expression on his face. He quickly formed seals with his hands, guiding the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the spiritual medicine to blend with each other. The sparks in the furnace quickly merged under his precise control.

The second step is to melt the liquid medicine. As the essence of the elixir is gradually extracted, the three liquid medicines slowly converge in the furnace. Li Mu successively puts in auxiliary medicines and quickly merges them. The liquid medicines are like small rivers, interweaving together to form a liquid vortex. Li Mu's mind moved, and the sparks in the furnace adjusted again, wrapping the liquid vortex in it. Under the passport of the gentle sparks, the liquid vortex began to rotate slowly, and the light on the surface gradually condensed, forming a series of delicate Dan pattern prototypes, which contained the mystery of Taiyi power.

The third step is to form the pill

As the prototype of the pill pattern condensed, the shape of the pill gradually appeared under Li Mu's control. He divided the liquid vortex into five parts, each of which contained the same medicinal power and medicinal properties. He formed seals with his hands, and his mind slowly penetrated into each portion of the liquid medicine, guiding them to gradually condense into a pill. Soon, the prototype of a Taiyi Daodan slowly took shape, and a faint light emanated from the surface.

Step 4: Contain the medicinal spirit

Li Mu formed seals with his hands again, and the power of his mind was like a trickle of water. The flame in the furnace instantly turned into a soft simmer, wrapping the prototype of the pill in it and starting the final nourishment. Time seemed to freeze at this moment. The simmer in the furnace continued to burn, and the sparks continued to burn, emitting a soft and steady heat. The simmer seemed to have a magical power that could penetrate into the pill, warm its spirituality, and promote the perfect fusion of the medicinal effects.

Li Mu's spiritual consciousness always maintained a subtle connection with the elixir. He could feel the subtle changes taking place inside the elixir. Every bit of spiritual power fused together, every bit of medicinal property improved, all took place slowly under his perception.

During this long process of cultivation, Li Mu was not idle. He began to adjust his own state, practice the Chaos Taoism, and more closely combine his true essence with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, in order to enhance his control over the alchemy process.

Step 5: Taiyi Fusion
After a long period of nurturing, the prototype of the pill has gradually matured, and the light emanating from the surface has become softer and deeper. Li Mu knew that the most critical step - Taiyi Fusion was about to begin. This step required the perfect fusion of the Taiyi Qi inside the pill with the essence of other spiritual medicines to form the core power of the pill.

He formed seals with his hands, and his mind was like a tide. Suddenly, a great amount of chaotic essence surged out of his body, turning into a bright beam of light, rushing straight into the alchemy furnace. This essence contained his profound understanding of the great way of chaos and his unique perception of Taiyi Qi. With the influx of essence, the slow fire in the furnace suddenly increased a bit, as if it was injected with new vitality.

Under the stimulation of the true essence, the Taiyi Qi inside the pill began to surge violently, creating a strong resonance with the essence of other spiritual medicines. The purple light and the spiritual light intertwined together, as if forming a colorful picture scroll, which contained the ultimate truth of heaven and earth and displayed the mystery and magic of Taiyi Qi.

Li Mu looked solemn, and quickly formed seals with his hands, guiding the fused power to converge towards the core of the elixir. As the power gathered, the light on the surface of the elixir became more and more dazzling, as if some mysterious power was gestating and awakening in it.

……

Time flies, and three months passed in a flash.

The door of the alchemy room slowly opened, and Li Mu walked out. His face looked a little tired, but more of it was joy that was hard to conceal. Wisdom and inspiration flashed in his deep eyes.

Xue'er had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw Li Mu coming out, she immediately went to greet him with a concerned smile on her face.

"Brother Li, you have finished refining the elixir. How did it go this time?" Xue'er asked with concern.

Facing Xue'er's expectant eyes, Li Mu raised a gentle smile and nodded, "It's a good harvest. However, it is not easy to refine the Seven Absolute Dao Pills here. You need to successfully refine six seventh-level Dao Pills first: Samsara Dao Pill, Five Elements Dao Pill, Taiyi Dao Pill, Wuji Dao Pill, Resurrection Dao Pill, and Creation Dao Pill. Only by perfectly combining them can you refine it successfully."

Hearing this, Xue'er's eyes flashed with surprise, and then turned into deep admiration. "Brother Li, each of these seven Dao Pills is extremely precious and difficult to refine. You actually challenged six of them at the same time as a prerequisite, and then combined them to refine the Seven Absolute Dao Pills. This is simply an unprecedented feat!"

"Indeed, it is quite difficult to refine this pill!" Li Mu nodded with a smile.

"Brother Li, what Taoist elixirs have you refined now?" Xue'er asked curiously.

Li Mu's eyes became soft and deep, and he smiled and gestured: "So far, I have successfully refined Taiyi Daodan, Lunhui Daodan, Wuyuan Daodan, and the remaining ones will be refined next time."

Speaking of this, Li Mu remembered something, and with a thought, the Tianxuan Ring flashed with light, and six pill bottles emerged.

"There are quite a few high-level spiritual medicines in stock for refining Five Element Dao Pills, so I refined some more! You can pass these Five Element Dao Pills to Xiao Jin, Xiao Wa, Qing Yue Zhen Long and others for me." Li Mu looked at Xue'er and explained, then handed the six pill bottles to her and said: "Five Element Dao Pills can harmonize the five elements and strengthen the foundation. For you, it will undoubtedly be a great help on the road to advancement."

"Thank you, Brother Li. I just finished my retreat and my bottleneck has loosened. I was worrying about how to break through! I didn't expect that Brother Li could actually refine the Five Elements Dao Pill. It's really a timely relief!" Xue'er took the pill bottle, her eyes full of gratitude and joy.

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Why should we thank each other? These pills were prepared for you. If Xiao Jin, Xiao Wa and Qing Yue Zhen Long can achieve breakthroughs after taking them, it will be worthy of my efforts."

Xue'er nodded, put away the pill bottle solemnly, and then asked, "Brother Li, what are your plans next? Do you want to continue refining the remaining Dao Pills, or take a break first?"

Li Mu pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "The refining of the Seven Absolute Dao Pills cannot be delayed. Next, I will continue to refine other Dao Pills in seclusion and gather the required amount for refining the Seven Absolute Dao Pills. However, before that, I have something else to deal with."

"Brother Li, do you need my help?" Upon hearing this, Xue'er immediately spoke up.

"No, it's just a small matter. You just need to break through the bottleneck as soon as possible." Li Mu shook his head gently, his eyes full of encouragement, "If your cultivation can go further, it will be a great help to me. After I finish dealing with the trivial matters, I will devote myself to alchemy and strive to refine the Seven Absolute Dao Pills as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Xue'er's eyes flashed with determination, and she said confidently: "Brother Li, with the help of this pill, I will strive to make a breakthrough before you come out of seclusion."

Li Mu smiled and nodded, then his figure flashed and disappeared in the Painting World Treasure House. (End of this chapter)
