Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

At this moment, colorful spiritual light gathered, and the spirit of the treasure house - the five-colored dragon appeared in front of Li Mu. The colorful spiritual light was floating and the spiritual light around the body was scattered. The originally solid dragon body had become translucent.

"Master, your advancement this time has drawn a large amount of spiritual energy from the space and drained the main spiritual vein of the Five Elements Spiritual Mountain..." The five-colored dragon spoke in human language, and the patterns on the dragon's horns flickered. He said sternly: "If the main spiritual vein cannot be reshaped and a large amount of spiritual energy cannot be added within three days, many high-level spiritual plants in the mansion will wither due to lack of spiritual energy, and the treasure mansion will gradually degenerate to the seventh level."

"Yes! I already know about this. I will help you rebuild the base. As for those high-level spiritual plants, I also have ways to deal with them. You can rest assured!"

Li Mu nodded, as if he had made arrangements in advance.

After being promoted to the Mahayana Taoist, the many high-level spiritual plants planted in the treasure house are no longer what Li Mu needs now. However, they cannot be wasted like this, as they have more important uses.

The next moment, Li Mu's pupils suddenly turned into a whirlpool of chaos, and the realm of chaos erupted from his body, quickly spreading throughout the treasure house.

Instantly, the entire space of the treasure house was filled with ripples of time. With Li Mu's feet as the center of the circle, the grass and trees within a hundred miles sprouted and bloomed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Chaos Dao Realm, three thousand years!"

Li Mu's chaotic Taoist body was revealed, and the chaotic Taoist patterns in the 360 ​​acupoints lit up at the same time, and each chaotic vortex gushed out liquid time power.

Under the influence of this vast force of time, the tens of thousands of acres of spiritual fields in the treasure house space, and countless low-level and high-level spiritual plants, began to grow wildly.

The chaotic Dao Realm rolled over like an inky tide, and tens of thousands of acres of spiritual fields instantly turned into a furnace of time. Li Mu's robe fluttered, and the long river of time gushing out from the 360 ​​acupoints actually condensed into 129,600 time dragons in the air. Each dragon shadow carried the power of the Dao Realm at a different flow rate, and merged into a bead of high-level spiritual plants.

In an instant, the space of the treasure house seemed to have set off a storm of time. Countless spiritual plants grew and transformed wildly under the power of time. High-level spiritual plants that originally took hundreds or even thousands of years to mature completed the entire process from germination to flowering and fruiting in a very short time.

Jiuxu Lingzhi, the spiritual plant that was crystal clear like jade and emitting a faint virtual light, was originally just a palm-sized young plant, but now it has grown rapidly under the infusion of the power of time. Countless mysterious patterns have emerged on the surface of the body, and the crown of the ganoderma has slowly unfolded, blooming nine virtual lights, each of which seems to be connected to a different void, emitting a mysterious atmosphere. Finally, the body of Jiuxu Lingzhi trembled slightly, and nine crystal clear ganoderma seeds fell off from the crown of the ganoderma, suspended in the air, emitting a rich spiritual energy.

The purple gold spiritual flower, the spiritual plant with petals as bright as purple gold, was originally just a bud waiting to bloom, but now it is blooming rapidly under the urging of the power of time. The petals unfold layer by layer, and the purple-gold light illuminates the entire treasure house space. Purple-gold spiritual seeds condense in the stamens, exuding a rich fragrance that seems to be able to cleanse the soul.

The Medicine King Spiritual Ginseng, the human-shaped spiritual ginseng with dragon-like roots and golden body, was originally just a thumb-sized young ginseng, but now it is growing rapidly under the infusion of the power of time. Countless mysterious patterns appeared on the surface of the ginseng, as if it contained endless medicinal power. Finally, the body of the Medicine King Spiritual Ginseng trembled slightly, and dozens of golden ginseng seeds fell out of the roots, each of which contained magnificent vitality.

The Qingming Sword Bamboo, the spiritual bamboo with a body like a sword and leaves like blades, was originally only a young bamboo of three feet high, but now it has grown rapidly under the urging of the power of time. Countless sword patterns appeared on the surface of the bamboo, and the bamboo leaves were as sharp as swords, emitting a sharp sword aura. Finally, the bamboo body of the Qingming Sword Bamboo trembled slightly, and dozens of green bamboo seeds fell out of the bamboo joints, each of which contained a sharp sword intent.

The Spiritual Lotus of Space and Time, the lotus leaves that are like whirlpools of space and time, and the petals that are as bright as stars. Originally, it was just a palm-sized lotus bud, but now, under the infusion of the power of time, it quickly bloomed. The petals unfolded layer by layer, and spirit seeds of space and time condensed in the heart of the lotus. Each seed seemed to contain the power of space and time, exuding a mysterious aura.

At the same time, many Yin spiritual plants, Yang spiritual plants and high-level five elements spiritual plants in the treasure mansion space also quickly blossomed and bore fruit under the stimulation of the power of time. Yin spiritual plants such as the Nether Flower and the Xuanyin Spiritual Grass bloomed with a dim light and emitted a strong Yin energy; Yang spiritual plants such as the Sun Spirit Flower and the Red Sun Fruit bloomed with a blazing light and emitted a strong Yang energy.

Many high-level five-element spiritual plants such as the golden spiritual fruit, the green cloud ancient vine, the clear water spiritual lotus, the nine-yang spiritual grass, the earth and rock spiritual ginseng, etc., are also rapidly maturing under the stimulation of the power of time, exuding rich five-element spiritual energy and condensing into spiritual plants.

In the entire space of the treasure house, it seemed as if a spectacular scene of spiritual plants blooming and bearing fruit was taking place. Under the impetus of the power of time, countless high-level spiritual plants quickly blossomed and bore fruit. The scene of falling seeds was like the grand scene when the world was first created, shocking people.

Spirit seeds fell like raindrops, each of which contained majestic spiritual energy and mysterious Taoist rhyme, as if announcing the vitality and prosperity of this space.

Li Mu stood in the center of the Chaos Dao Realm, his robes fluttering and his eyes as sharp as torches. He stretched out his hand and countless spirit seeds rolled back like a galaxy, gathering towards his palm one after another, as if thousands of stars were falling.

The five-colored dragon was floating beside Li Mu, its eyes full of shock and awe. It had never thought that its master could use such means to ripen countless high-level spiritual plants in the mansion in one go.

When the last space-time lotus seed sank into Li Mu's palm, the entire palace suddenly fell into silence. The spiritual plants that had just been emitting thousands of feet of rosy clouds collapsed as if their backbones had been pulled out.
The void Dao patterns of the Nine-Void Ganoderma disintegrated inch by inch, and the umbrella cap collapsed into a black hole as big as a fist; the sword energy lotus platform of the Purple Gold Spirit Flower turned into powder, and dark golden pus and blood flowed from the remaining calyx; the human-shaped body of the Medicine King Spirit Ginseng suddenly exploded, and three thousand twisted faces of cultivators burst out from the roots, screaming and dissipating into the void, and countless high-level spiritual plants withered and turned into ashes.

“Brother Li! What happened?” Xue’er woke up from her retreat and transformed into a human form. She caught a withered Xuanyin petal with her bare hands and appeared in front of Li Mu: “So many spiritual plants have burned their origins to condense spiritual seeds! Brother Li, why are you doing this!”

"Yes! Master, you have spent countless energy to grow these high-level spiritual plants!" The blue-eyed golden ape appeared beside Li Mu and asked in confusion.

The Scarlet Fire Phoenix, the Black Jade Rock Lizard, the Blue Moon Dragon, and many other beasts appeared and surrounded Li Mu, their eyes full of worry.

At this moment, the Painting World Treasure Mansion has become a dead place. The space that was originally full of spiritual energy and full of vitality is now filled with an atmosphere of decay and desolation. The remains of countless high-level spiritual plants are scattered on the ground, turning into ashes and drifting away with the wind. The spiritual energy in the treasure mansion has been almost drained, and even the main spiritual vein of the Five Elements Spiritual Mountain seems dim.

Li Mu restrained the Chaos Dao Realm, his expression was calm, his eyes were as deep as the abyss, he looked down at the countless spirit seeds condensed in his palm, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"The spiritual power in the treasure house is insufficient, and it is difficult to support such a large number of high-level spiritual plants!" Li Mu explained, and then said: "Next, I am also going to refine the painting world treasure house and rebuild its foundation. You don't need to worry!"

After hearing this, although the beast masters still had doubts, they felt a little relieved when they saw Li Mu's calm expression.

The five-colored dragon hovered beside Li Mu, with a hint of expectation in its eyes. It asked with concern: "Master, how do you plan to rebuild the treasure house? Do you need our help?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and summoned a broken weapon from his body. The broken weapon that appeared in his palm was only the size of a palm, and was covered with spider-web-like cracks all over, but it exuded an eternal aura that made all the monsters feel uneasy.

A broken bronze mirror, the mirror surface reflected not a reflection, but the magnificent scene of thousands of towering trees in the prehistoric era. "Master! What kind of Taoist weapon is this? It is so broken, but it actually contains such terrible power!"

The five-colored dragon suddenly let out a roar like a dragon's roar, and was filled with fear. The patterns on its body bloomed uncontrollably. The three-meter-long dragon body tumbled in pain in the air, frightened by the terrible power emitted by the remnant mirror.

The Moon Wheel Seal on Xue'er's Nine-Tail suddenly burst into a bright light, and she stumbled back half a step, exclaiming, "Brother Li, this broken piece of equipment contains the wailing of millions of plant spirits!"

The Scarlet Fire Phoenix's Nirvana Fire surged uncontrollably toward the broken weapon, but when it touched the mirror, it condensed into emerald-colored wood spirit flame.

A crack appeared in the diamond pattern on the forehead of the blue-eyed golden ape, and a miniature golden tree shadow actually grew out of it.

……

As the incomplete mirror appeared, all the beast masters showed strange signs and were affected by the terrifying power it contained and were terrified.

Li Mu had a calm expression and deep eyes. He held the broken bronze mirror in his palm and said calmly, "This item is called the 'Eternal Green Wood Mirror'. It was left by a Taoist master who used plants and trees to prove his Dao in ancient times. Although it is broken, the power of the plant and tree origin contained in it is enough to help me refine the treasure house again, and even take it to a higher level."

The five-colored dragon suppressed his discomfort and asked in a trembling voice, "Master, this remnant mirror is so terrifying, how do you control it? If you are not careful, it may backfire on you!"

Li Mu smiled slightly, with a hint of confidence in his eyes: "It's okay, I have already comprehended the principles of chaos, and I can use the power of chaos to suppress the essence of plants and trees in the broken mirror. Moreover, although this mirror is broken and its spirituality has been lost, its origin has not been lost. It is the best thing to re-refine the treasure house."

As Li Mu finished speaking, he gently lifted his palm, and the broken bronze mirror slowly floated in the air. The cracks on the mirror surface trembled slightly under the power of chaos, as if responding to his call. The shadows of the ancient trees reflected in the mirror became clearer and clearer, as if to pull the entire treasure house space into the ancient flourishing age of plants and trees.

"The Eternal Mirror..." Li Mu murmured in a low voice, with a complex emotion in his eyes. He reached out and gently stroked the mirror. Where his fingertips touched, there was a faint resonance, as if telling of some long-lost memory.

"Master, this broken mirror... seems to have some connection with you?" The five-colored dragon noticed the change in Li Mu's expression and asked cautiously.

Li Mu was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "This mirror is from my previous life."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the beast masters were shocked. Even Xue'er couldn't help but open her eyes wide. Her nine tails swayed gently, and her eyes flickered with a bright light.

"Things from the previous life?" Xue'er asked softly, with a hint of disbelief in her tone.

Li Mu nodded, his eyes deep as the abyss: "In my previous life, I used plants and trees to prove the Dao and ascended to the position of Dao Lord. The Eternal Green Mirror is my lifelong Dao weapon that I refined with my lifelong cultivation. It not only helps me control the essence of all trees, but also protects my soul at the cost of my own spirituality when I fall, and helps me reincarnate."

Li Mu's expression changed slightly, and he said with some emotion: "If it weren't for this mirror, I would have been torn apart long ago, and I would never have the chance to return to the world of immortal cultivation. And because of this, its spirituality also dissipated and it became a broken weapon."

Speaking of this, Li Mu fell into memories. Because of the Eternal Green Mirror, he was reincarnated in the world of the Dharma Ending Age - Blue Star. Because of it, he returned to this world. It was not until he was promoted to the Mahayana Taoist that he finally awakened the Eternal Green Mirror hidden in his body, as well as some memories of his previous life, and his own innate magical power - Plant Spirit Absorption, to identify the true origins of all spirits.

Li Mu's deep gaze fell on the broken bronze mirror. His fingertips gently slid across the mirror surface, feeling the shocking cracks, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

After hearing this, all the beast masters fell silent. Although they were demon beasts, they understood what it meant when the spiritual power of a ninth-level Taoist weapon disappeared.

Xue'er looked at Li Mu and felt the same way. She said with respect, "Brother Li, this memorial is so kind to you. It's really sad."

Li Mu nodded and said solemnly: "Indeed, it is because of it that I was able to obtain the magical talent of 'Plant Spirit Absorption', which allowed me to return to the Mahayana stage so quickly!"

"Absorbing plant spirits?" A hint of doubt flashed in Xue'er's eyes.

Li Mu explained: "This magical power was created in my previous life by using the Eternal Evergreen Mirror as a medium to comprehend the origin of plants and trees. It can absorb the essence of all trees and turn it into my own use. It can even reverse the life and death of spiritual plants and ripen spiritual seeds. This magical power is integrated with my soul and has never disappeared after reincarnation. It is the basis for me to ripen countless high-level spiritual plants in a short period of time."

Upon hearing this, all the beast masters suddenly understood.

The blue-eyed golden ape scratched his head and said naively, "I see. No wonder the master has such exquisite control over the spiritual plants."

Li Mu smiled slightly, his eyes fell on the Eternal Evergreen Mirror again, with a hint of determination in his tone: "Today, I use this mirror to refine the treasure house, not only to restore the vitality of the treasure house, but also to restore its former glory. After the treasure house is re-refined, I will use this mirror as a basis to walk the path of enlightenment again!"

"Master! Is it appropriate to use it to re-refine the weapon base for me? It is so important to you!" The spirit of the treasure house - the five-colored dragon said worriedly.

Hearing this, Li Mu looked at the five-colored dragon and responded with a smile: "You don't have to worry. Although the Eternal Green Mirror is of great significance to me, it is precisely because of this that I want to make it play its due role. It is not only my life-defining Taoist instrument, but also the bond between my past life and this life. Now, its spirituality has been destroyed, its instrumentality is gone, but its origin has not been lost, and it still contains endless power. Using it to refining the treasure house is not only to restore the vitality of the treasure house, but also to allow its power to continue and restore its former glory."

"However, in order to refine the weapon base for you, I still need to gather several other ninth-level divine objects!" Li Mu paused and added. (End of this chapter)
