Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

The person who came was a deacon disciple of the Xuantian Sword Sect. He greeted Master Qingwei with a smile and took the opportunity to inquire about the source of the information. A capable person who can see through the mass production of magic armor by the Nine Demon Sect must be extraordinary.

"If you ask me about the source of the information, I cannot disclose it, but I can guarantee it with my reputation. This information is absolutely fine. I wonder what the outcome of your sect's spying was?" His Majesty Qingwei declined in advance and asked with concern.

The deacon disciple was silent for a moment. According to the information provided by Lord Qingwei, Xuantian Sword Sect not only learned about the trap set by the Nine Demons Sect, but also learned that the person the Nine Demons Sect wanted to ambush was a sixth-level weapon refining grand master. He is a 'Li Jianxian' with outstanding qualifications and only a Nascent Soul Realm cultivation level.

"This matter is of great importance." The deacon disciple looked at Master Qingwei and said with deep meaning.

Lord Qingwei shook his head apologetically.

"I'm really sorry. I don't want to offend that being. If I spill the beans today and don't reveal the information to me in the future, it will be a greater loss to the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm. Moreover, with that person's means, your Xuantian Sword Zong also has to be treated with respect."

After hearing such words, the deacon disciple had no choice but to leave.

Ever since Qingweizun came here, disciples would come over to ask questions every day, and every time it was the same question.

Xuantian Sword Sect wants to know the source of the information.

The Nine Demon Sect's plan had already been exposed by this person before it even took shape.

The reason why the Xuantian Sword Sect launched this siege was not because they believed in the reputation of Lord Qingwei, but because the news he brought was completely consistent with the news that the Xuantian Sword Sect learned from everywhere.

Mutual confirmation is enough to confirm the Nine Demon Sect's plan!

In the past half month, as we followed the clues, the actions of the Nine Demon Sect became clearer and clearer.

All these confirmed that the news brought by Qingweizun was true.

Looking back, it is extremely important to provide this key information so that Xuantian Sword Sect can have a "key person" to exert its efforts in the right direction.

Even if his cultivation level is average, this vision alone is worth winning over.

The Xuantian Sword Sect never has to worry about their strength. Their biggest difficulty is always processing intelligence.

Most of the information in the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm is too complicated.

Useful and useless intelligence is mixed together, trying to grasp the key and the signs of the rise of unrest is tantamount to fantasy!

Even if the Xuantian Sword Sect has the help of divination spiritual treasures, it still seems to be stretched thin.

A 'genius' like Li Mu who could see the Nine Demons Sect's key plans at a glance, and who could make the Nine Demons Sect take it so seriously, risking exposure and setting traps, was the core member of the Xuantian Sword Sect that was highly anticipated and sought after.

If you can get it, it will be a great blessing for the Xuantian Sword Sect!

However, they sent people to ask questions for half a month, which shows their sincerity.

It's a pity that their sincerity is destined to be in vain if it is used on a person who only cares about survival.

…

Three days later, inside Xuantian Sword Sect.

A gray-haired old man was half-kneeling in the main hall, reporting to the sect leader who was at his desk handling official business.

"Back to the sect leader, Deacon Fang organized everyone from the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Domain to fight against the Nine Demons Sect three days ago."

"It's not a big deal, so I didn't interrupt the sect master's practice."

The sect leader raised his eyes slightly.

The Nine Demon Sect of the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm?

With a sweep of his mind, countless files flew out from the bookshelf at the back of the hall. The master of the Xuantian Sword Sect swept away his thoughts and then put these files back.

He has read all the information about the Nine Demon Sect within the Xuantian Sword Sect.

"It's really not a big deal."

With the size of the Xuantian Sword Sect, the Nine Demon Sect is indeed nothing.

"Has Master Qingwei checked it?"

The old man lowered his head slightly.

"After checking, he and Venerable Xuan Ling have recently appeared in the ancient city. My subordinates suspect that the man lives near the ancient city. They have asked the core disciples to investigate specifically. The results are expected to be available in a few days."

The leader of Xuantian Sword Sect nodded slightly.

"It would be a good thing if this person can be admitted into our Xuantian Sword Sect, but if not, try to make him disappear."

Xuantian Sword Sect is not in the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Domain, but in Zhongzhou, a place with outstanding people and a sect that has no plans.

Xuantian Sword Sect has countless old enemies.

Taiyi Sect is one of them.

This time, the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Territory originally asked for help from the Xuantian Sword Sect, but Taiyi Sect sent elders to intervene, deliberately suppressing the Xuantian Sword Sect's development in the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Territory.

This man could see the Nine Demon Sect's plans from the numerous news in the Southern Wilderness. His vision was extraordinary, and he was afraid that even the Taiyi Sect was interested.

If he is unable to join the Xuantian Sword Sect, then his possibility of joining the Taiyi Sect will be cut off.

The old man nodded.

"My subordinates have already given instructions on this matter, and they will act accordingly."

The people in the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm marched towards the ancient city of the wilderness with the Xuantian Sword Sect's thousands of troops. The Xuantian Sword Sect disciples even had the same style of the spiritual treasure protective gear on their bodies, giving them a somewhat solemn and solemn feeling.

Wherever the army went, the Southern Wilderness monks all stopped and looked up.

"Is that the Xuantian Sword Sect's army?"

"If you can't join the Xuantian Sword Sect, your life will be in vain!"

"That's what a man should do!"

…

The constant discussions below fell into the ears of the Taiyi Sect elders who were sitting quietly in the spirit ship.

After listening to this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"I didn't expect that I was a step too slow back then and made the Xuantian Sword Sect become the number one sect in Zhongzhou. In the past few hundred years, it has gained such prestige even in the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Domain."

"I regret it."

With a long sigh, the Taiyi Sect elder also felt deeply regretful.

They missed a lot when they made one wrong move back then.

The disciple who was walking beside him came forward and said.

"Master, there is no need to sigh. As the saying goes: If a tree is as beautiful as the forest, the wind will destroy it."

"The Xuantian Sword Sect is so arrogant, which also means that if they fail once, they will lose the hearts of the people in the world."

The Taiyi Sect elder shook his head.

"Forget about this incident, is there any news that I asked you to find out in advance?"

The disciple nodded.

"Go back to Master, my junior brother has sent back the news that the whereabouts of Master Qingwei and Master Xuanling have been found out."

"It's just that in the city, these two people are in seclusion. Qingweizun went to the auction house once, and the expert was not in the ancient city."

"Those idiots from the Xuantian Sword Sect must have started their search around the ancient city."

The Taiyi Sect elder nodded slightly.

The Xuantian Sword Sect behaves in a rather domineering manner. When they are looking for someone, they use a massive manpower and an overwhelming search.

Their Taiyi Sect conducts themselves in a completely different style.

"Do you have a general direction?"

The disciple stepped forward and took out the map sent back by his junior brother.

Pointed in the direction on the map.

"The direction they enter and leave the city is from here, and the expert is nearby."

"I almost forgot. My disciple had a conversation with Master Qingwei before. The two sixth-level spiritual treasures in Master Xuanling's hands are most likely from this master's hand."

The Taiyi Sect elder's pupils narrowed slightly.

"Two sixth-level spiritual treasures in two months?"

The disciple nodded solemnly, and then reported: "Master, based on the disciple's knowledge, it takes several months to refine a spiritual treasure, which is even a big deal for a sixth-level weapon refiner!"

"However, this person can refine two sixth-level spiritual treasures in two months. He is either a senior weapon refining master with a very high success rate, or he is a powerful person who can refine seventh-level Taoist weapons!"

Normally, a sixth-level weapon refining grand master can refine a sixth-level spiritual treasure in a few months, which is already the limit. However, Li Mu refined two spiritual treasures in two months. This efficiency is already much higher than that of ordinary people, and it will inevitably make his disciples confused. Li Mu's weapon refining level was misjudged.

Hearing the words "Seventh Level Taoist Power", the Taiyi Sect elder's heart suddenly became uneasy!

"Even if we use the Time Lingchan today, we still have to find him!"

Although sixth-level weapon refiners are rare, there are still many in Zhongzhou, and they are not the only ones in the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm.

But if it is a powerful person who can refine seventh-level Taoist weapons, then no matter how much the cost is, we must try our best to win him over!

Seventh-level Taoist weapons, even if they are placed in Taiyi Sect and Xuantian Sword Sect, are hot commodities! However, to become a seventh-level Taoist master, even with the resources of Zhongzhou, it is difficult to cultivate them in large quantities!

This time, in order to compete with Xuantian Sword Sect, Taiyi Sect took out several sixth-level spiritual treasures, but these were all Taiyi Sect's inventory, and there was not a single extra thing.

"Disciple, report it to Taiyi Sect immediately! Ask them to send two more, no! Three elders come over!"

There happens to be a sixth-level weapon refining master in Taiyi Sect.

It is precisely because of the existence of this sixth-level weapon refiner that the Taiyi Sect has not declined.

On the other hand, Xuantian Sword Sect still does not have a permanent sixth-level weapon refining grand master!

Such an important person must be roped in to join the Taiyi Sect!

It must not be handed over to the Xuantian Sword Sect!

The Taiyi Sect elder stood up directly and gave instructions to the disciples who were traveling with him.

"You go with the disciples of Xuantian Sword Sect and report their location and progress at any time. I will go see that master."

"If a disciple of the Xuantian Sword Sect asks, just say that I am in retreat."

After saying that, the Taiyi Sect elder directly put on the disguise mask, changed his outfit, flew out of the spirit ship, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Today's deserted ancient city is indeed a bit lively.

The disciples of the Xuantian Sword Sect have arrived here and have launched a tight search and investigation. The whereabouts of Master Qingwei and Master Xuanling have been completely uncovered. However, this alone cannot find out the location of the master.

The elder of Taiyi Sect came to the outside of Huanggu City, which was the direction where the disciple told him that the master was located.

He found a deserted corner and took out a cicada carved from spiritual jade from his arms.

Time Lingchan, a sixth-level spiritual treasure.

This thing can recall the past events that happened here. Although it can only recall events within one month, and although there are various restrictions when it is activated, it is a time treasure and is of extraordinary value.

The elder took out several delicate vials from the storage ring.

What is contained here is the medicinal liquid extracted from the spiritual materials of other times.

The elder opened the first bottle and dropped a drop of crystal clear medicine with an ancient aura on the Time Ling Chan.

After a while, the spiritual patterns on the cicada's body disappeared without a trace, and it stretched out its curled up limbs. The cicada seemed to come to life. As its wings flapped, a slight Zen sound spread.

When the Taiyi Sect elder heard this, he quickly restrained his mind to prevent his consciousness from being swallowed up by the power of time.

After a while, the people in front of him began to "walk backwards", and the rainwater flew from the ground to the sky, gathering into dark clouds, and finally flew into the distance.

Time goes retrograde!

Until the elder of Taiyi Sect could no longer hold on, he saw Venerable Xuanling and Venerable Qingwei!

The two of them walked backwards from the city gate!

"Come, that is the direction of the master."

The elder of the Taiyi Sect wrote down the location, and with a thought, he did not stop until the limit of the picture that the Time Lingchan could provide.

As the cicada stopped chirping, the elder of Taiyi Sect suddenly got excited, broke away from the illusion of time cicada, and shook his head vigorously.

After identifying the direction, he headed to the extreme distance he had seen before, and activated the Time Cicada again!

Relying on this "stupid" method, the Taiyi Sect elders found Yin Yang Valley all the way.

Before he could use it again, he suddenly felt the aura left by the Demon Sect's people, and his heart suddenly tightened.

"Is the master already being targeted by the Nine Demons Sect?"

Immediately, I unfolded all my consciousness and wanted to explore the surrounding situation.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his consciousness arrived at Yin Yang Valley, it was instantly bounced back by the magic circle!

"Huh? Set up by the Demon Sect? It's strange that this valley is so strange. There are so many magic circles in the valley!"

"Wait! Is this the master's retreat?"

"Did that master set up the magic circle?"

The elder of Taiyi Sect was ecstatic. He let go of his consciousness and could see everything in Yin Yang Valley. His hard work paid off and he finally found it!

Those who flew into the Yin-Yang Valley first carefully observed the surroundings of the magic circle, and suddenly realized that the mystery inside was very difficult for anyone to understand.

"He is indeed a master of weapon refining! Even the magic circle is so mysterious."

Seeing the general situation in the valley, the Taiyi Sect elder was even more ecstatic.

The masters in Yin Yang Valley, the master of weapon refining and the mysterious master he was looking for all matched up!

Immediately he coughed slightly and said loudly.

"Hu Yiming, the elder of the Taiyi Sect, came here to visit the master and begged the master to reward the Taiyi Sect with some thin noodles."

Li Mu had already used the puppet to detect the movement outside.

The behavior of the Nine Demons Sect has become more and more arrogant in the past few days. Several times, they have watched the methods they arranged from a distance, seeming to be looking for a solution.

If he hadn't been reluctant to part with the spiritual plants in this spiritual field, Uncle Xue'er hadn't come to visit, and his beast master hadn't returned yet, Li Mu would have moved away from this place long ago.

A gentleman does not build dangerous walls. This is the principle of settling down and settling down.

Today this person came very strangely, and his cultivation level was quite good. He was a master of refining the void above the gods. He stopped and walked along the way, and he took out the Lingchan Lingbao from time to time.

Xueer walked to Li Mu and asked quietly: "Master Li, do you want to let him in?"

Xue'er couldn't understand. In the past, Li Mu had let guests in with ease. How could he be like this today, silent and with a troubled expression on his face?

Li Mu thought for a moment and decided to play it safe.

He manipulated the puppet to arrive in front of the Taiyi Sect elder.

"If you are commissioning a weapon refining, please go to Wanbao Pavilion to register."

The Taiyi Sect elder laughed.

Sure enough, I found the right place.

"I wonder what the reward is for refining a sixth-level spiritual treasure?"

Li Mu elaborated on his reward.

Then he added.

"With the recent turmoil in the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm, we only accept orders from the Wanbao Pavilion for entrusted weapon refining. Please forgive me."

Not knowing what the other party was saying, Li Mu was also very cautious.

In case he is really an elder of Taiyi Sect, it would be more appropriate for him to be polite.

The Taiyi Sect elder coughed lightly and took out a blueprint and placed it in front of the puppet.

"This is the seventh-level Taoist weapon I want to entrust the master to refine for me - the Taixuan Gang Sword."

As he spoke, he took out another book and placed it in front of the puppet.

"This is the reward. The experience of refining the seventh-level Taoist weapons is the result of hundreds of years of hard work and painstaking efforts of the previous generations of our Taiyi Sect, compiled over ten years."

"In addition, if the master agrees to refine it, all losses incurred in trying to refine these seventh-level Taoist weapons will be borne by our Taiyi Sect."

“I wonder what Master’s intention is?”

Even Li Mu was excited after seeing such a generous reward.

Especially that book on weapon refining!

Now, although Li Mu can rely on his profound knowledge to refine sixth-level spiritual treasures, he has no clue when it comes to seventh-level Taoist weapons, because there is no inheritance to refer to, and his weapon refining skills are useless. I relied on the panel to improve it, and I didn't get any guidance from any famous teachers.

If he had the experience left by his predecessors in this book, it might be able to help him see through the obstacles of seventh-level Taoist masters as soon as possible.

There seems to be only one level of difference between the seventh-level Taoist master and the sixth-level weapon refining grand master, but that is not the case. The Taoist understanding and Tao array layout involved are extremely profound. If you can learn this weapon refining summary, you can break through the seven levels. The Taoist weapon master is just around the corner.

At present, as far as the future can be seen from the Fortune Turtle, the Nine Demon Sect's growth in Southern Wilderness is unstoppable. It is inevitable to move away from Southern Wilderness, and Zhongzhou is the best choice among them!

If you can get this weapon refining experience, it wouldn't be a bad idea to establish some friendship with Taiyi Sect.

"Dear guest, please wait a moment. I will disperse the protective formation right now."

After weighing for a moment, Li Mu stood up directly and went to the entrance of Yin Yang Valley to personally greet this distinguished guest from the Taiyi Sect!

"Elder Hu, please forgive me. The Nine Demon Sect has been wreaking havoc recently. I am not strong enough and dare not meet people casually."

"My previous actions were offending, so please don't blame me, Elder Hu."

As soon as he walked out of the magic circle, Li Mu saluted with his hands clasped in fists.

Elder Hu of Taiyi Sect quickly returned the gift.

"Wherever I go, it's my honor to be welcomed by the master in person!"

Elder Hu was surprised by Li Mu's youth, but the man in front of him was really a master of weapon refining, so he had to express his respect.

He is so young!

No matter in terms of bone age or appearance, among weapon refiners, he can definitely be regarded as a junior among juniors.

Weapon refiners of his age are still struggling with the first and second levels. Even the fourth and fifth level weapon refiners are too far. Can this person really refine a sixth level spiritual treasure?

Not to mention, he is still the leader among the sixth-level weapon refining masters! Two sixth-level spiritual treasures in two months!

Being so young means his potential is much more than that.

With Taiyi Sect's abundant resources as his foundation, Elder Hu is convinced that Li Mu's future is immeasurable!

Thinking of this, his expression became more humble.

"I wonder what you call Master?"

Li Mu bowed his hands respectfully and replied: "It's my fault, junior, I'm rude, junior - Li Mu."

"Elder Hu, please come inside, Xue'er! Make tea and get the best spiritual tea!" Li Mu made an invitation gesture and greeted Xue'er at the same time.

Xueer trotted towards Shiting, preparing some spiritual tea.

Li Mu and Elder Hu entered Yin Yang Valley side by side and walked towards Shiting. There was inevitably business exchanges on the way.

"Taiyi Sect is also the largest sect in Zhongzhou. I didn't expect that you would come here in person. It's really unexpected!"

"Hey, Master Li, why do you have to be so humble? Our Taiyi Sect is extremely eager for talented people and strangers. I came here just to invite Master Li to join the Taiyi Sect."

…

In the pavilion, the two of them sat down, and Xueer stood aside, waiting to serve.

Li Mu placed Elder Hu's weapon refining minutes on the table.

Elder Hu felt anxious.

Although he came earlier on this trip, he theoretically has an advantage. However, who can ensure that Li Mu did not inquire about the Xuantian Sword Sect?

After all, Xuantian Sword Sect has a greater reputation!

"What does Master Li mean by this? Could it be that he has already negotiated terms with Xuantian Sword Sect?"

"Don't worry, the Xuantian Sword Sect will give twice as much as our Taiyi Sect!"

Elder Hu looked at Li Mu in confusion and said eagerly.

Li Mu quickly waved his hand and explained with a smile: "Senior, I just want to confirm the content of this weapon refining commission with senior. After all, the commission has not been completed yet. This weapon refining record belongs to senior."

"Besides, this junior has only observed the first three pages and did not dare to read the entire contents of the minutes."

Hearing this, Elder Hu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Master Li, if you have any other requests, just ask. If it is within my ability, I can directly agree. If it is beyond my ability, I will try to give you the news within ten days. How about it?" Elder Hu looked at Li Mu and said solemnly.

Seeing that the other party was so eager, Li Mu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that one of the dignified sects of the Zhongzhou Lingyu Realm wanted him to join.

Although his status as a sixth-level weapon-refining grandmaster was prestigious, Li Mu had never been so sought after by others. After all, the name Nanhuang in the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm was no joke, and ordinary sects really couldn't afford to support him.

Taiyi Zong extended an olive branch today, and his attitude was very sincere.

The best part is that Taiyi Sect is not the first sect in Zhongzhou, but the second!

If you join this second sect, your treatment will naturally be better than that of the Xuantian Sword Sect. Second in Zhongzhou, your foundation and background are unimaginable.

"Elder Hu's words are serious. I am satisfied with the remuneration. I just wonder where the Taiyi Sect got the news about me?" Li Mu was quite concerned about this matter and looked at Elder Hu and asked inquiringly.

I have been refining weapons in the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm for a while, so why did the Taiyi Sect show up at this juncture?

Elder Hu did not hide anything and said directly.

"Sir Qingwei asked Xuantian Sword Sect for help. I was ordered to compete with Xuantian Sword Sect for credit and slow down their expansion."

"But I learned from Master Qingwei that it was through the guidance of an expert that I learned about the Nine Demon Sect's plan."

"I just followed this news all the way to find it."

"To be honest, our Taiyi Sect values ​​not only Master Li's ability to refine weapons, but also your ability to see through the plans of the Nine Demons Sect."

Li Mu laughed dumbly and said humbly: "I was targeted by the Nine Demons Sect a few days ago, again and again, and I am good at refining weapons. I was lucky enough to see through it!"

"Master Li, are you interested in joining our Taiyi Sect as a registered elder?" Elder Hu looked at Li Mu, went straight to the point, and extended his warm invitation again.

Such a young sixth-level weapon refining master has a bright future.

With his current attainments, he only needs some enlightenment and time to become a seventh-level Taoist master.

Li Mu definitely has no shortage of talent!

What's more, during this conversation, you can feel the fluctuations of spiritual power in his body, which is definitely not as low as that of ordinary weapon refiners.

It is also an excellent thing for such a genius to earn Taiyi Sect.

After a brief silence, Li Mu did not hesitate too much, and continued: "Elder Hu has such a warm invitation. It is really hard for me to refuse, but I can't leave here yet."

"I made an appointment with an old friend to meet here, but he hasn't arrived yet, so please forgive me, Elder Hu, for not being able to give you a clear answer for the time being!"

Xueer pouted when she mentioned this.

"Did Uncle Third forget what we agreed on?"

Li Mu shook his head helplessly.

"You also know the situation over there. Maybe something went wrong along the way, so it was too late."

Not expecting to be rejected for this reason, Elder Hu was unwilling to accept it and said quickly: "Master Li, there is no need to worry. If it is inconvenient, our Taiyi Sect is willing to send someone to investigate."

"No, don't bother! Thank you Elder Hu for your kindness." Li Mu was startled and waved his hand quickly.

The Monster Clan and the Human Clan are still in a hostile relationship. If his contact with the Snow Fox Clan is exposed, the attitude of the Human Clan's experts towards him is still unknown.

Even if Taiyi Sect believed in him, there would still be some rumors and rumors, which would not be conducive to his continued development.

"My friend is used to being idle. With his strength, he won't encounter any trouble. Maybe he will arrive in a few days." Li Mu declined solemnly.

Elder Hu sighed and nodded: "That's good."

As long as Master Li's friend arrives, Elder Hu can take Li Mu to Taiyi Sect.

In less than a hundred years, Taiyi Sect will usher in earth-shaking changes.

Although I didn't talk much to Li Mu today, it can be seen from his words and deeds that he is a person who values ​​friendship.

As long as Taiyi Sect does not do anything inappropriate, it is inevitable that Li Mu will become the seventh-level weapon refining master of Taiyi Sect!

Even people who are not from Taiyi Sect will still lend a helping hand to Taiyi Sect.

At that time, Taiyi Sect was qualified to challenge Xuantian Sword Sect.

If he had to wait another thousand years for Li Mu to have the means to refine a seventh-level Taoist weapon master, even the Xuantian Sword Sect would have to bow its head in front of the Taiyi Sect and curb its prestige!

The scene was so beautiful, Elder Hu's heart was filled with excitement just thinking about it.
