Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

"Did you gain anything, young friend?"

Seeing Li Mu's enlightened look, the Starry Sky Patriarch stroked his beard and smiled, then asked curiously.

Li Mu's eyes flickered slightly, and he bowed and said, "Thank you for your generosity, senior. I have some ideas waiting to be verified."

“I am very pleased that my friend has such understanding. I hope that when we meet again, I can successfully enter the realm of the ultimate way with the Great Way of Chaos.” The Starry Sky Patriarch stroked his beard with satisfaction, and the starlight around him gradually faded.

"Time is running out, and I still need to go to the Demon Abyss to take charge." Xingqiong Patriarch turned to Qingdi and said, "Old friend, is it okay?"

"Yes, but you have to send the Azure Dragon's remains back to our ancestral land first!"

The Green Emperor glanced at the Starry Sky Ancestor unhappily, turned his head to look at Qinglin and said in a gentle tone: "Let's go, follow me and leave!"

Qing Lin looked at Li Mu, his eyes full of reluctance. Li Mu smiled slightly and patted his shoulder: "Go, when you return after completing your studies, we will fight side by side again."

Qinglin nodded heavily, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "Master, take care. Qinglin will not let you down!"

"Still calling you master?!" The Green Emperor frowned, but did not scold him in the end. He just waved his sleeves, rolled up Qing Lin, and turned into a green light and shot up into the sky.

The Starry Sky Patriarch looked at Li Mu solemnly and sighed, "My dear friend, the survival of the Three Realms depends on you. Grow up as quickly as possible..."

Before he finished speaking, the figure of the Starry Sky Patriarch had turned into specks of starlight and dissipated from the spot, then turned into a ball of speeding starlight, following the Green Emperor.

Watching the two extremely powerful men and Qing Lin go away, Li Mu thought for a moment, then disappeared from the spot in a flash and flew into the Spirit Valley. The next moment, as the light of the formation faded, the whole person also disappeared.

In the Chaos Treasure House, Li Mu closed his eyes slightly, and his consciousness spread out like a tide, sensing the several spiritual places in the treasure house and the retreat of Xiao Jin and the others.

The blue-eyed golden ape sat cross-legged on a mountain of refined gold. Each of its golden hairs stood up like steel needles, reflecting a dazzling cold light in the sun. The surface of the refined gold mine under its seat was covered with spider-web-like cracks. With the rhythmic breathing of the golden ape, strands of pure golden spirit energy seeped out of the ore and condensed into fine golden crystals on its body surface. What was even more eye-catching was that the golden lines between its eyebrows were deeper than three days ago, and the sharp gold law flowing in them could be vaguely seen.

The entire body of the Black Jade Rock Lizard sank into a dark yellow earth mound, revealing only its scaly back. On the dark scales, complex veins of the earth were emerging. The soil within a radius of ten feet was fluctuating at an amplitude that was imperceptible to the naked eye, as if in accordance with a certain rhythm. Upon closer inspection, each grain of sand was trembling slightly, releasing pure earth spirit energy. The power of the earth was condensing, and two streams of yellow smoke were emitted from the nostrils of the Black Jade Rock Lizard from time to time. Those were the impurities discharged when it was tempering the essence of the power of the earth veins.

The Scarlet Fire Phoenix was perched on the top of the active volcano. The terrifying pressure from the Eighth Rank Demon King caused the entire mountain to tremble slightly. It spread its flaming wings that were a hundred feet long, and each feather was burning with the eternal Nirvana Fire, illuminating the sky within a radius of ten miles like purgatory.

The phoenix head was held high, and the red-gold phoenix crown was like a burning crown. Nine fire patterns flowed across its forehead, showing its majesty as the supreme of fire. When the phoenix eyes opened and closed, it seemed that there was a fire surging that burned the sky and boiled the sea. Wherever the eyes looked, even the air was distorted by the high temperature.

The most amazing thing is the nine fire rings surrounding its body, each of which is composed of a different kind of strange fire from heaven and earth: Azure Lotus Earth Fire, Purple Sky Thunder Fire, and Sun Essence Fire. Seven kinds of terrifying flames that are enough to burn mountains and boil seas are now circulating around it like a docile pet. Whenever the Fire Phoenix breathes, a raging flame will erupt from the crater, turning into pure fire spirit energy that is absorbed into its body.

Its tail feathers are even more magical, with seven different colors on each tail feather, creating a gorgeous rainbow of fire in the sky. Sparks keep dripping from the ends of the tail feathers, and every spark that falls to the ground will turn into a fire lotus and bloom in the magma.

The entire active volcano seemed to have become a part of its body, pulsating with its breathing. The flames in the magma lake surged, sometimes turning into the phantom of a fire phoenix, and sometimes condensing into a fire elf, interpreting the supreme mystery of the fire avenue.

Li Mu, who saw the Red Fire Phoenix, stood in the air with his hands behind his back, his robes motionless in the heat. His eyes reflected the nine fire rings circulating around the Red Fire Phoenix, each of which contained a completely different fire elemental power.

"Blue Lotus Earth Fire, Purple Sky Thunder Fire, Sun Essence Fire." Li Mu counted them softly, with a hint of relief in his eyes, "I have obtained seven of the nine origins of extreme fire."

Li Mu's consciousness swept over the body of the Red Fire Phoenix like a spring breeze, and he could clearly feel the seven great fire origins blending perfectly in the Phoenix's body. The Azure Lotus Earth Fire was endless, the Purple Sky Thunder Fire was violent and fierce, and the Sun Essence Fire was extremely yang and pure. These fires of heaven and earth that should have repelled each other now formed a perfect cycle in the Fire Phoenix's body.

His eyes fell on the remaining two slightly dim fire rings, and Li Mu's mouth curled up slightly. Although the two fire rings were not yet complete, they had already taken shape. One was dark blue, with a faint icy aura flowing through it; the other was as black as ink, exuding an aura that swallowed everything.

"Red Mysterious Ice Flame, Silent Black Fire." Li Mu understood clearly and said happily, "Once these two extreme fires are perfected, they will be able to return to one and achieve the ultimate fire path."

The Red Fire Phoenix seemed to be aware of something, but after sensing Li Mu's divine consciousness, she closed her eyes again and continued to immerse herself in hard training.

Li Mu's consciousness continued to wander in the Chaos Treasure Palace and soon came to a deep Dragon Abyss. The waters seemed calm, but in fact there were undercurrents. Every drop of water contained pure water spirit energy.

The Blue Moon True Dragon was entrenched in the deepest part of the Dragon Abyss. The dragon body of the eighth-level demon king emitted a faint green light in the dark water, and each piece of dragon scale looked like it was carved from the finest green jade. The dragon's whiskers swayed gently with the water flow, attracting the water spirit of the entire Dragon Abyss.

The True Dragon is surrounded by six water rings, each of which represents a different source of water:

Xuanming True Water: As black as ink, it contains the power of extreme cold
Endless Weak Water: Silver light flows, as light as nothing but as heavy as a thousand pounds

Yellow Spring Water: Turbid and heavy, with a breath of reincarnation
Ganlu Pure Water: Crystal Clear and Full of Vitality
Blue Sea Tide: Deep blue, the ebb and flow of the tide contain the rhythm of heaven and earth

Illusionary water: ethereal and invisible, gathering and dispersing at random
……

Li Mu's eyes narrowed slightly, noticing that the Blue Moon True Dragon passed the tribulation later than the Red Refining Fire Phoenix, and his cultivation was slightly inferior. Although the six water rings had all taken shape, compared to the Fire Phoenix's seven perfect fires, there were still three water origins that had not yet condensed.

"We still need Taiyin True Water, Xuanyuan Heavy Water, and Taixuan True Water." Li Mu muttered in his heart, with a flash of thought in his eyes. The origins of these three waters are all the supreme existences in the water system, and it is indeed not easy to condense them.

Suddenly, the Qingyue True Dragon opened its eyes, and its eyes, like the bright moon, penetrated through layers of water curtains and met Li Mu's consciousness from afar.

Li Mu understood and raised his hand to send out a stream of chaotic energy. This stream of energy sank into the Dragon Abyss, instantly causing thousands of ripples. The entire area of ​​water seemed to come alive, and the concentration of the water spirit energy instantly increased several times.

The Blue Moon True Dragon let out a clear dragon roar, and the six water rings shone brightly, interweaving into a water network at the bottom of the abyss. It was faintly visible that the prototypes of three more illusory water rings were slowly taking shape, although they were blurry, they had already taken shape.

Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, withdrew his spiritual consciousness from the Qingyue True Dragon, and swept across the spiritual place where the Qingyu Ginseng King was in seclusion.

Li Mu's consciousness came to a forest of spiritual medicines in the southeast corner of Chaos Treasure House. Here, ancient trees towered to the sky, spiritual medicines were everywhere, and the rich vitality was almost condensed into substance. In the center of the forest, a ginseng king that looked like jade was stretching its branches and leaves, slowly inhaling and exhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Unlike the other beast masters who were practicing hard, the Jade Ginseng King seemed particularly leisurely. On its white jade trunk, seven spiritual flowers swayed gently, emitting a refreshing fragrance. The ginseng beard lazily rested on several thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, absorbing some of the medicinal power from time to time. "Seventh level peak."

Li Mu shook his head slightly. As a plant-spirited alien, the Jade Ginseng King had an almost infinite lifespan, which made it not very interested in cultivation. Compared with the other beasts who were desperately trying to reach the eighth level, it seemed to enjoy this leisurely life of cultivation more.

As if sensing its owner's gaze, the Jade Ginseng King slowly opened its emerald eyes. It shook its branches and leaves, and a few drops of spiritual dew fell, drawing a graceful arc in the air.

"Master." The voice of the King of Ginseng was like the breeze blowing through the bamboo forest, with the tranquility unique to plants and trees: "I am old, and I can't fight as hard as those little guys. But don't worry, when it's time to practice, I will never be lazy."

Li Mu laughed, flicked his finger and a stream of chaotic energy flew towards the Jade Ginseng King, and scolded with a smile: "You old ginseng, you are good at making excuses. But it doesn't matter, the way of plants is to let nature take its course."

The chaotic energy entered the body of the Ginseng King, and the golden spiritual flower suddenly bloomed a little more. The Ginseng King stretched out its branches and leaves comfortably, and a bright green light appeared all over its body. Although its cultivation speed was not as fast as the others, this kind of progress that moistened things silently was in line with its characteristics as a plant spirit.

The Jade Ginseng King shook the spiritual flower on its head as a response, and then returned to its leisurely appearance and continued its "slow cultivation". Compared with the earth-shaking practice of the other beast masters, the practice here seemed particularly peaceful and tranquil.

Seeing this, Li Mu shook his head and smiled, feeling helpless. Everyone has their own aspirations. Fortunately, the power of extreme wood and enlightenment do not need to rely on the ginseng king.

Li Mu's spiritual sense locked onto the blue-eyed golden ape and the black jade rock lizard again. He frowned slightly, feeling a little tricky.

They practiced diligently and never slacked off, but they still found it difficult to break through the eighth level.

"It's ultimately limited by blood." Li Mu sighed lightly.

The Green-eyed Golden Ape was in the Golden Spiritual Land, where the gold veins had been absorbed by it. The sharp gold energy was circulating in its body to the extreme, but it could not cause a qualitative change. Although the Dao pattern on the Golden Ape's forehead was becoming deeper and deeper, it was still a step away from condensing the origin of the gold.

The situation of the Black Jade Rock Lizard is even more obvious. The earth veins on its carapace have reached perfection, and the earth spirit energy circulates in its body, but it is still unable to break through the invisible barrier.

On the other hand, the Scarlet Fire Phoenix and the Blue Moon True Dragon, one possesses the blood of the ancient phoenix and the other possesses the blood of a true dragon. With the same supply of resources, they have already broken through the eighth level and are moving towards the ultimate realm.

There is also Qing Lin, who is from the Qinglong clan and has the blood of the ancestor dragon. Relying on the legacy of his bloodline, not only has he surpassed others in cultivation, but he also obtained the origin of the Nine Paths of Extreme Wood when he was going through the Dragon Emperor's thunder tribulation. The foundation for him to achieve the ultimate emperor realm in the future has been laid.

Li Mu pondered for a moment, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and his mind moved. His voice immediately appeared in the minds of the Blue-Eyed Golden Ape and the Black Jade Rock Lizard.

"Xiao Jin, Xiao Wa, come and see me."

As soon as the voice fell, two figures broke through the air and arrived. The green-eyed golden ape had golden hair standing upright, and its eyes were full of fighting spirit; the black jade rock lizard was as steady as a mountain, and its scales still carried the earth spirit aura that had not yet dissipated.

"Owner!"

The two of them transformed into human form, appeared in front of Li Mu, and saluted in unison.

Li Mu's eyes swept over them: "Do you know why I called you here?"

Xiao Jin scratched his head, a trace of confusion flashed in his golden pupils, and Xiao Wa said in a deep voice: "But is it because we have not been able to break through yet?"

"That's right." Li Mu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the two of them encouragingly, and said affirmatively: "You practice diligently, but you are always stuck at the peak of the seventh level. Do you know the reason?"

The blue-eyed golden ape clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking, and said helplessly: "I know, it's because my bloodline is not strong enough! Chi Lian and Qing Yue have higher bloodlines than me, and their cultivation progress is faster than ours!"

The face of the Black Jade Rock Lizard-Xiao Wa darkened, and he looked at Li Mu apologetically and said: "Master, we are not talented enough, and we have failed your cultivation."

Li Mu smiled and shook his head, encouragingly saying, "Your bloodline is determined by heaven, not your fault. The path of cultivation is against heaven. I called you here today to give you a chance."

When the two beasts heard this, hope suddenly ignited in their eyes.

"It will be useless for you to continue to practice hard in the treasure house. I want to let you go out to gain experience." Li Mu looked at the two of them and said solemnly, "Leave my protection and go to the dangerous places outside to find your chance and break the shackles of your bloodline in the fight of life and death."

The blue-eyed golden ape pounded his chest excitedly and said excitedly: "Master, don't worry! I will tear apart a few eighth-level beasts and use their blood to break through!"

The Black Jade Rock Lizard was more calm and asked reluctantly, "Master, do you have any advice?"

Li Mu smiled slightly, took out a jade slip from his sleeve, handed it to the two, and said, "I have planned a route for you. There are many ancient ruins deep in the Tianhuang Mountains. There are both sharp gold veins suitable for Xiao Jin and Xuanhuang earth energy suitable for Xiao Wa."

Xiao Jin couldn't wait to take the jade slip, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and immediately grinned and said, "Master, you are so thoughtful!"

"This trip has three purposes." Li Mu's expression turned serious, and he looked at the two and said, "First, to collect seventh and eighth level spiritual materials; second, to find a breakthrough opportunity; third, to hone your cooperation. Gold and earth are born together, if you can comprehend the mystery, it will be beneficial to you all."

Xiao Wa nodded thoughtfully: "Master, do you want us to travel together?"

"That's right." Li Mu tapped his fingertips lightly, and a golden light flew out of the jade slip, which turned into a map in the air, giving a detailed introduction: "The Tianhuang Mountains are extremely dangerous, and there are many seventh-level monsters and eighth-level monster kings. It is too dangerous for you to act alone, but if you join forces..."

Xiao Jin patted his chest and assured: "Master, rest assured! I will definitely protect Xiao Wa!"

Xiao Wa shook his head: "I am better at defense, I should be the one protecting you."

Li Mu smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, this is how we should support each other."

Next, Li Mu took out a dozen bottles of various Taoist pills from the Tianxuan Ring, and handed various Taoist talismans to the two for self-defense. Then, with a big wave of his hand, he sent Xiao Jin and Xiao Wa out of the Chaos Treasure House. (End of this chapter)
