Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Just when everyone was in a stalemate, a strange wave suddenly came from the depths of the cave, and the next moment, a figure appeared.

"Brother Li!"

"Owner!"

Xue'er, Xiao Wa, and Xiao Jin all looked at Li Mu and said happily.

Li Mu nodded, his eyes fell on Xiao Jin, sensing the strong blood aura in his body, and frowned.

Seeing Li Mu's appearance and the reactions of the beast masters, Xuan Lin was slightly startled, his pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at Li Mu who suddenly appeared in doubt. The human cultivator in front of him was clearly only at the Mahayana stage, but he made the eighth-level peak Red Refining Fire Phoenix and Blue Moon True Dragon bow down to him; what was even more strange was that when he secretly urged his spiritual sense to investigate, his spiritual sense was like a drop in the ocean, and no useful information was fed back.

"Is this their master?"

Xuan Lin was surprised, and the snake scales under his black robe trembled slightly. As an eighth-level demon who had lived for thousands of years, he vaguely sensed a sense of incongruity - this seemingly ordinary human cultivator seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog that even he could not see through.

Sensing Xuan Lin's gaze, Li Mu glanced at him with a half-smile on his face: "Black Python bloodline? No wonder he can cultivate to the eighth level, it's rare to see!"

"Hello, fellow Taoists! My name is Xuanlin. There were some misunderstandings between you and me. I am willing to take out three spiritual materials as compensation to resolve the matter."

Xuan Lin bowed his hands, but the snake scales hidden in his sleeves quietly stood up. He was respectful on the surface, but in fact he was secretly activating his innate magical power "Netherworld Sky Viewing Technique", and a barely perceptible blue light appeared in the depths of his pupils. This innate magical power inherited from the ancient black python can see through the origin of all things, even the disguise of the ninth-level demon emperor cannot escape its eyes.

However, when the dark blue light touched Li Mu, it melted instantly like snow encountering the scorching sun. What was even more terrifying was that Xuan Lin suddenly found that his demonic power was flowing backwards uncontrollably. The inner elixir of the black python that he had cultivated for thousands of years in his body trembled violently, as if it had encountered a natural enemy.

"What do you mean, fellow Daoist?" Li Mu still maintained a faint smile, chaotic energy emerged around his body, and chaotic whirlpools appeared in his pupils.

Xuan Lin's whole body trembled violently, and his pupils suddenly shrank like needles! He felt an indescribable pressure covering his whole body.

"This is this"

Xuan Lin's voice trembled slightly, and the snake scales under his black robe stood up. He was horrified to find that his proud "Netherworld Sky-Seeing Technique" was not only easily cracked, but was counterattacked by a higher-level power. That power seemed to come from the beginning of the world, containing the most primitive chaotic Tao rhyme.

The vortex of chaos slowly spun in Li Mu's eyes, and he whispered, "It seems that fellow Daoist is very interested in me?"

"Forgive me, fellow Daoist. I was just curious for a moment. I am sorry for the offense! I didn't expect that you were just a chaotic Taoist body..." Xuan Lin apologized hurriedly.

The vortex in Li Mu's eyes gradually subsided, and he said coldly: "Oh? You actually recognize the Chaos Dao Body?"

"I, I have seen records of this in the ancient books of my clan." Xuan Lin did not dare to raise his head, and explained apologetically: "It is said that the Chaos Dao Body is the innate Dao rhyme, and can control all Daos. I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes today..."

"You do have some insight. However." Li Mu suddenly changed the subject, "You just said you want to compensate for three spiritual materials?"

"Yes, yes, if you are not satisfied, you can add more! Our clan's treasure house is full of treasures for you to choose from!" Xuan Lin added hurriedly, with fine beads of cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Well! How many extremely poisonous Taoist forces have you condensed?" Li Mu smiled slightly and asked with concern.

"Five, five!" Xuan Lin replied quickly.

"Chi Lian, Qing Long, you two should go with Fellow Daoist Xuan Lin!" Li Mu nodded and looked at Chi Lian Fire Phoenix and Qing Yue Zhen Long.

Upon hearing this, the Red Fire Phoenix and the Blue Moon Dragon immediately transformed into two streams of light, one red and one blue, and landed on Xuan Lin's side.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanlin, hurry up and practice, and strive to condense the nine extremely poisonous Dao principles as soon as possible. Then, I will come to you for advice!" Li Mu looked at Xuanlin and smiled, saying expectantly.

"Yes!" Xuan Lin's whole body trembled, and he understood what Li Mu meant. He condensed into nine extremely poisonous principles. That was the highest realm in the legend of the Xuanmang clan - the Nine Returns Emperor Realm.

Soon, three figures flew out of the cave and disappeared into the sky. Xue'er walked to Li Mu and looked at Xiao Jin worriedly: "Brother Li, is Xiao Jin okay?"

Li Mu retracted his gaze and looked at Xiao Jin again.

"Master!" Xiao Jin looked at Li Mu pitifully. The boiling blood power, the bloody and violent power in his body could not help but counterattack his will.

Suddenly, Xiao Jin let out a suppressed growl, his golden hair stood on end, terrifying bloodshot appeared in his green eyes, he curled up on the ground in pain, his muscles spasming uncontrollably, it felt like countless steel needles were piercing his skin, veins throbbing all over his body, and an arrogant, violent aura gushed out of him.

A trace of solemnity flashed in Li Mu's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "This is a sign of the backlash of the "Spirit Devouring Health Preservation Technique". In order to quickly improve his strength, Xiao Jin devoured too much demon python blood, causing the blood in his body to be mixed and impure."

Li Mu raised his hand and sent out a stream of chaotic energy, enveloping the struggling Xiao Jin. "The Sky-piercing Violent Ape is an ancient mythical beast with an extremely overbearing bloodline. How could it tolerate other inferior bloodlines being mixed in with it?"

Xue'er was excited and asked with concern: "What should we do? Will Xiao Jin be able to..."

“No problem!” Li Mu formed seals with his hands, and the chaotic energy turned into countless fine threads and drilled into Xiao Jin’s body. “It’s a good opportunity to help him temper his blood and eliminate the hidden dangers!”

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light burst out from Xiao Jin's body, and those mixed demon python bloods were forced out of the body, transforming into bloody little snakes twisting and struggling in the air. The ancestral power of the Tongtian Violent Ape was like the wrath of an emperor, crushing and devouring all of these alien bloods...

Xue'er walked quickly to Li Mu's side, her hands nervously grasping the corner of his clothes: "Brother Li, Xiao Jin..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Jin suddenly let out a roar that was not like a human voice. Its body suddenly swelled, its muscles bulged like a dragon, and its green eyes were completely flooded with blood. A suffocating and violent aura swept through the entire cave, and the broken stones on the rock wall fell down.

"Not good!" Xiao Wa's face suddenly changed, and he quickly reminded Li Mu: "Master, be careful, Xiao Jin is going to lose control."

At this time, Xiao Jin had completely changed his appearance - his ten-foot-tall body was covered with golden bone spurs, fangs protruded from his lips, and his arms had regenerated bloody limbs on both sides. The most terrifying thing was his bloodshot eyes. He had completely lost his sanity, leaving only the most primitive desire to kill.

"Roar!"

Xiao Jin, who had transformed into a violent ape, punched Li Mu. Wherever the fist passed, the space was slightly distorted. Xue'er screamed in fear, but was blown away by the aftermath.

Li Mu dodged the fatal blow narrowly, and the ground where he was standing suddenly exploded, leaving a deep pit with a diameter of ten feet.

"Xiao Jin! Wake up! Xiao Jin!" Xiao Wa tried to call Xiao Jin, but the only response he got was a monkey roar towards the sky.

“I can only suppress it first!” Li Mu clasped his hands together, and the Chaos Dao Domain surged out from his body. Then, nine chains appeared out of thin air from the Dao Domain.

"go with!"

Nine chains instantly wrapped around the six arms of the violent ape and surrounded its entire body. Xiao Jin let out a deafening roar and struggled desperately. However, under the suppression of the nine chains, it could not move at all.

The little golden ape-like body struggled frantically, its six arms were knotted with muscles and veins bulging, and every time it exerted force, the nine chains clanged and almost broke. It roared to the sky, and the bloody demonic energy surged like a raging tide, the whole cave was shaking, and broken stones fell.

"Brat! What a strong brute force!" Li Mu smiled slightly, and the hand gestures changed again, and the Chaos Zhenyuan Plate emerged.

The Chaos Zhenyuan Disk was suspended in the air, with yin and yang energies flowing on the disk and the power of the five elements intertwined, forming a mysterious sealing formation.

"Yin and Yang as the guide, the Five Elements as the ban!"

Li Mu formed seals with his hands, and the Chaos Zhenyuan Plate suddenly enlarged, covering Xiao Jin's head. In an instant, the yin and yang energies swirled like dragons and snakes, entwined and turned into black and white chains, piercing through Xiao Jin's limbs and bones, suppressing his runaway blood power.

"Roar!" Xiao Jin roared in pain. The boiling demon blood in his body was forcibly suppressed. The blood vessels under his golden hair shrank inch by inch. The mixed demon python blood was crushed and refined by the power of chaos.

"The five elements rotate, seal the monster and suppress the origin!"

Li Mu pinched the magic formula again, and the five-colored divine light of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth on the Chaos Zhenyuan Plate burst out, turning into five sealing divine chains, locking Xiao Jin's five internal organs respectively - heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. The power of the five elements penetrated the demon essence, completely imprisoning its violent demon power and making it unable to operate.

"Spiritual consciousness, seal!"

Finally, Li Mu condensed a ray of chaos truth at his fingertips and pointed into the air. The Tai Chi diagram in the center of the Chaos Zhenyuan Plate suddenly rotated, and a ray of chaos divine light shot directly into Xiao Jin's heart.

"Om-!"

Xiao Jin's blood-red eyes suddenly froze, and his violent spiritual consciousness receded like a tide, and was finally completely sealed by the power of chaos. His body shrank rapidly, his bone spurs disappeared, his six arms retracted, and finally he returned to his original size, fell down softly, and fell into a deep sleep.

Inside the cave, the violent demonic energy gradually subsided, leaving only the Chaos Zhenyuan Disk suspended in the air, slowly rotating, maintaining the power of the seal.

Xue'er walked forward quickly and found that Xiao Jin's body temperature was burning hot, but his breathing had stabilized. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Brother Li, Xiao Jin..."

Li Mu put away the Chaos Zhenyuan Plate and said in a deep voice: "I have sealed its blood, demon essence and spiritual consciousness with the Chaos Seal. Within three days, it will no longer suffer from the backlash."

"Next, I will refine a furnace of blood-dissolving pills to help Xiao Jin melt his blood and purify his demonic power!" Li Mu added.

As he spoke, Li Mu waved his right hand, and a pill furnace with starlight flowing all over it appeared out of thin air. The body of the furnace was engraved with the stars in the sky. As soon as it landed on the ground, it attracted the surrounding spiritual energy and formed a rotating nebula vortex at the bottom of the furnace.

"Brother Li, can this pill save Xiao Jin?"

Watching Li Mu take out high-level spiritual medicines emitting rich medicinal fragrance from the Tianxuan Ring, Xue'er couldn't help but ask with concern.

"Of course you can. You had a conflict in your Tianfu bloodline before, and you created a personality made of the Tianhu bloodline. It was thanks to this pill that you successfully integrated it!" Li Mu smiled and gestured, "Xue'er, take care of Xiao Jin. Xiao Wa, protect me. Next, I need three hours to refine the pill!"

Hearing this, a hint of realization flashed in Xue'er's eyes. Then she nodded heavily and gently brought Xiao Jin to the corner of the cave.

Xiao Wa flashed and turned into a stream of light, guarding the entrance of the cave, alert and vigilant.

Li Mu's mind moved, and the starlight alchemy furnace suddenly lit up. The stars around the furnace wall flickered one after another, and the nebula vortex at the bottom of the furnace slowly rotated, gathering a huge amount of star power. Inside the furnace, the star fire ignited silently, the temperature gradually rose, and the alchemy furnace began to preheat.

Li Mu closed his eyes and concentrated, his mind completely immersed in refining the elixir.

Step 1: Purify the Spiritual Medicine
Li Mu flicked his finger, and a red "Nine-leaf Blood Ganoderma" with nine spiritual leaves flew into the furnace. This medicine is the main ingredient of the Blood-Dissolving Dao Pill, containing extremely strong blood essence, which can help cultivators cleanse their marrow and meridians and reshape the foundation of their blood.

As soon as the blood ganoderma was put into the furnace, it gradually softened and liquefied under the quenching of the star fire, turning into a ball of red spiritual liquid that flowed slowly in the furnace, emitting a strong bloody aura. Li Mu used his mind to carefully control the temperature to ensure the perfect release of the essence of the medicine, while removing any impurities that might be contained in it.

Then, he took out the second main ingredient, the "Purple-striped Dragon Blood Fruit". This fruit was shaped like a longan, with purple stripes on the skin. It was nourished by the dragon-shaped spiritual veins, and its medicinal properties were overbearing, which could suppress the backlash of blood.

The dragon blood fruit was put into the furnace and instantly blended with the blood ganoderma liquid. A layer of purple-gold light suddenly appeared in the furnace, the fragrance of the medicine became stronger, and the sound of a dragon's roar could be heard faintly.

Step 2: Refining the Liquid Medicine
After the essences of the two main herbs were completely integrated, Li Mu took out several auxiliary herbs again - "Xuanbing Hansui" to regulate the dryness of blood, "Dizhi Xinling Milk" to stabilize the demon essence, and "Tianqing Lingteng" to dredge the meridians...

These spiritual medicines were put into the furnace one by one, and under the tempering of the star fire, they gradually turned into streams of light and merged into the main medicine spiritual liquid. The color of the medicine liquid in the furnace gradually deepened, from red to dark gold, and then to deep purple, as if it contained endless vitality.

Li Mu was fully focused, his mind as sharp as a thread, carefully controlling the temperature to ensure that the medicinal properties were perfectly blended without conflict.

Step 3: Combine the Dan Shape
The medicine liquid is ready, and the next step is the most crucial step - dividing the pills into certain shapes!
With Li Mu's divine power, he could barely refine the blood-melting Dao pills into three, but with each additional pill, the difficulty of refining the pill doubled. He took a deep breath, and his divine power poured into the pill furnace like a tide, dividing the liquid medicine evenly, so that each portion contained the same medicinal power.

"Condensation!"

As he shouted softly, the medicine liquid in the furnace suddenly shrank, and under the tempering of the star fire, it gradually condensed into the prototype of a pill.

Step 4 - Danwen
The prototype of the pill has been completed, but the real difficulty has just begun. The seventh-level Taoist pill needs to be nourished by the Taoist principles to achieve perfect quality.

Li Mu gathered a ray of chaos true meaning on his fingertips, and carved elixir patterns in the air. Every time a pattern fell, a mysterious elixir pattern emerged on the surface of the elixir, faintly resonating with the laws of heaven and earth.

Inside the furnace, three blood-dissolving Dao pills slowly rotated, pill patterns gradually took shape, and purple-gold Danxia filled the entire cave.

Dan Cheng!

"boom--"

The furnace cover shot up into the sky, and three blood-colored light pillars shot straight into the sky. Three blood-dissolving pills the size of longan were suspended in the air, with purple-gold patterns flowing on the pill bodies, emitting astonishing blood pressure.

Li Mu let out a long sigh, waved his sleeves, put the elixir into the jade bottle, and showed a satisfied smile. (End of this chapter)
