Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Li Mu slowly probed his mind into the jade slip, and a huge flow of information suddenly poured into his mind.

The first thing that caught the eye was the phantom of Tianyan God. He spoke in a deep voice about the method he practiced - Tianyan Star Condensation Jue. By visualizing the stars and Tianyan changes, he drew the power of the stars into his body and tempered his body. Divine Soul, every time you practice to enter a new realm, you can unlock a star skill, which can be cultivated to the main skill of the Void Refining Realm.

Li Mu listened for a while, roughly understood the characteristics of this technique, and then lost interest.

This technique is indeed powerful and has some unique features in stargazing and divination, but it is quite different from the Yin Yang and Five Elements Sutra that Li Mu majored in, and there is nothing to learn from.

As for the ancient secret realm that Lord Tianyan later introduced, it was like a place called Lingxu Blessed Island. It is said that this secret realm is hidden in the void and only intersects with the real world every hundred years. During that short intersection period , those who are destined will have the opportunity to enter it and explore the endless treasures and opportunities.

After hearing the general idea, Li Mu stopped investing his consciousness and put the purple jade slip into the storage compartment.

There are not too many ancient mansions, secret realms, and ancient ruins in this world. Either they are difficult to distinguish between true and false, or they contain great dangers, and you may lose your life if you are not careful. Therefore, Li Mu always maintains a cautious attitude towards this kind of news. After all, the road to spiritual practice is long, and if you lose your life just for the sake of a temporary opportunity, it is a loss that outweighs the gain.

Li Mu decided to wait until he advanced to the Void Refining Realm in the future, and when he was more prepared, he would have the opportunity to explore this ancient secret realm. Now, he was more concerned about how to improve his cultivation as soon as possible.

This trip to the Arctic Icefield was very fruitful. Li Mu devoted himself to the Jiuzang Spirit Pearl and began to count the harvest. In particular, he harvested a large number of high-level Yin spiritual plants and spiritual seeds in the Taiyin Spirit Wood Forest.

The next moment, a Taiyin spirit tree was taken out from the Jiuzang spirit bead by Li Mu. A powerful Yin force spread out, and the temperature of the entire area suddenly dropped.

The Taiyin Spirit Wood has a strange shape. The trunk is a deep gray-black color, exuding an all-devouring light. Its surface is covered with silver-gray textures, like a spider web under the moonlight, shining with a mysterious luster. The branches are winding and branching. There are several strange-shaped leaves hanging on the head. The leaves are dark gray and contain strong vitality.

The cold aura exuded by the entire Taiyin Spiritual Tree makes people feel an inexplicable sense of depression. The root system of the Taiyin Spiritual Tree is very developed, and those roots are like living creatures, spreading in the Yinsha Spiritual Soil, covering the entire spiritual tree. The roots are firmly grasped by the soil, and as the Yin power spreads, these roots seem to become more active, constantly squirming around, as if they want to escape from this area that is not suitable for their growth.

The Taiyin Spiritual Tree in front of me is five to six feet tall, and its main branches are nearly ten feet wide in diameter. There are various Yin Melting Mushrooms and Yin Spiritual Fungi in some places at the roots and branches, which are also extremely rare Yin Spirits. plant.

Under the innate magical power - identifying all spirits, the attributes of these spiritual plants were presented to Li Mu one by one.

…

Li Mu took a closer look and saw that on a Taiyin Spiritual Tree, there were more than a dozen fifth- and sixth-level parasitic Yin spiritual plants. Under the Yin domain emitted by the Taiyin Spiritual Tree itself, they were still full of spirituality and not at all withered. .

Seeing this, Li Mu was quite happy. With so many sixth-level Yin attribute spiritual plants, it would be no problem to pick out one that grows quickly and provides a large amount of plant spiritual attributes. The Yin spiritual plants planted in the next realm are now available. .

Seven kinds of fifth-level spiritual plants are planted in Qishen Mountain. They are: Five Elements Spirit Plant: Fire Scale Flame Fruit, Blue Spirit Moon Lotus, Golden Edge Sword Chrysanthemum, Yellow Vein Yun Fruit, Green Vine Spirit Sunflower; Yin and Yang Spirit Plant: Phantom Yin Grass , Yuyang Lingguo.

These seven kinds of spiritual plants are the best spiritual plants that Li Mu has selected after thousands of selections and used the Withered Rong Technique again and again.

However, after successfully advancing to the Void Refining Realm, it is not suitable to continue planting fifth-level spiritual plants. Li Mu needs to plan ahead and identify seven suitable sixth-level spiritual plants within a hundred years, and then choose suitable ones for them. Locally grown.

The higher the level of spiritual plants planted, the more demanding the growth environment they require. At the same time, the auxiliary spiritual materials needed to promote their growth become more cumbersome and troublesome. Li Mu understands this very well. The cultivation of high-level spiritual plants is by no means a simple matter.

The reason why Li Mu was able to successfully obtain and plant seven kinds of fifth-level spiritual plants on a large scale at the same time was largely due to his great master-level weapon refining and formation skills, as well as his support from the powerful Xuantian Sword Sect. .

It is precisely with such a background and strength that we can obtain a spiritual mountain and a spiritual land where seven kinds of fifth-level spiritual plants can be planted in a place like the Seven Gods Mountain, which provides a wealth of auxiliary spiritual materials for the growth of many spiritual plants.

But even though the conditions were so favorable, Li Mu still didn't dare to slack off at all. In order to ensure that these precious spiritual plants could thrive, he even refined seven divine clones to personally take care of these spiritual plants on his behalf, ensuring that each spiritual plant would grow vigorously. It has received the most appropriate care and can grow smoothly, and it does not dare to neglect the supply of auxiliary spiritual materials for a moment.

When the seven spiritual plants mature, if everything goes well, there will still be nearly a hundred years. If something goes wrong within these hundred years, everything will be over.

Planting fifth-level spiritual plants is so troublesome. When planting the next batch of sixth-level spiritual plants, I don’t know how much time and energy it will take. You can imagine the difficulty.

However, the extremely yin place formed by the passage seal under the extreme northern ice sheet gave Li Mu the hope of reducing his burden. If he secretly opened a spiritual field in that extremely yin place, it could be used for large-scale planting of sixth-order yin spiritual plants. , its growth speed will be greatly accelerated, and there is no need to prepare auxiliary spiritual materials for it, which greatly saves the energy spent on planting spiritual plants.

With so many benefits, Li Mu immediately took notice.

Xuantian Sword Sect will definitely encircle the entire Ice Ghost Valley. Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen will ask him to arrange the magic circle and set up restrictions. Then he will secretly find a piece of spiritual land and take it as his own. There will be no big problem.

Thinking of this, Li Mu no longer hesitated and took out a staff from the Jiuzang Lingzhu - the Eternal Dead Wood Staff. He used the Pinch Technique to perform the Withering Technique on a Tianyin Ganoderma lucidum.

Li Mu's eyes were piercing, staring closely at the growth of Tianyin Ganoderma, and continued to output Mu Yi's spiritual power without daring to slack off at all.

At this moment, Tianyin Ganoderma is parasitic on the Taiyin Spiritual Wood. With the blessing of the Dead Wood Technique, it enters a rapid growth state at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than half a quarter of an hour, Tianyin Ganoderma enters the mature stage, the fruiting stage, and gradually enters the withering stage. All the vitality was concentrated in those ten fruits, and the mushroom body quickly withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, this withering power did not touch the fruits of Tianyin Ganoderma.

On the contrary, the ten fruits became plumper and riper, exuding a more attractive aroma.

A breeze blew by, and the fruit fell. Li Mu's consciousness held it firmly, and with a little force, he crushed a fruit, revealing the tender pulp and the core hidden inside. It was the sky. The spiritual seed of Yin Ganoderma.

After careful observation, Li Mu confirmed that although the spiritual power and medicinal efficacy of the Tianyin Ganoderma fruits produced through the art of withering and growing are far less than those of naturally mature Tianyin Ganoderma, the characteristics of the fruit core are generally normal and should be able to continue to grow. .

After harvesting 86 spiritual seeds of Tianyin Ganoderma, Li Mu planted one of them on the Taiyin Spiritual Tree. Holding the eternal dead wood staff, he gathered his magic power and continued to use the withering technique on the spiritual seeds.

Soon, a magical scene appeared.

Under the stimulation of mana, the Tianyin Ganoderma spiritual seeds began to take root and sprout rapidly. The magical power of the Withering Art spread across the Taiyin spiritual trees, stimulating the full potential of the spiritual seeds.

I saw that the spiritual seed was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, it had sprouted green buds, followed by slender stems... all of this was under the influence of the Withering Technique. It is accelerated to completion under the catalysis, and time is quickly advanced at this moment.

As the spell continued to be cast, the seedlings of Tianyin Ganoderma gradually grew taller, the leaves became more lush, and the bright vitality bloomed instantly. Soon after, a Tianyin Ganoderma flower as white as snow bloomed on the Taiyin Lingzhi tree. The figure is full of fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Li Mu smiled with satisfaction, stopped using the Withering Technique, and swung out a golden light, cutting off the mature Tianyin Ganoderma in half.

Soon, at the broken stem of Tianyin Ganoderma, a pale white mist-like aura appeared, almost invisible to the naked eye.

Li Mu stretched out his hand and gently touched the pale white light, and a text prompt appeared in the log column of the panel.

[Innate magical power - Planting spirit absorption takes effect, you absorb a group of planting spirits, and your innate extremely Yin power +2]

Looking at this text prompt, Li Mu had already expected that the amount of spiritual plant attributes absorbed by the spiritual plants cultivated through the art of withering and glory was surprisingly low. After all, they did not grow normally, and it was understandable that the spiritual plant attribute values ​​were so low.

Taking into account the mana consumption of the Withering Art, Li Mu estimated that if a sixth-level spiritual plant like Tianyin Ganoderma is planted normally, it is expected to take about 500 years to mature before harvesting.

This length of time is really too long for Li Mu.

Li Mu took a deep breath and decided to use a different type of Yin spiritual plant to experiment with the Withering Technique.

Li Mu's eyes finally fell on a sixth-level spiritual plant called Yinling White Fungus. The plant was short and its growth cycle should be shorter!

Soon, with the blessing of the withering technique, the entire Taiyin spirit tree was eradicated, and fluffy white fungi appeared one after another, which was the crazy expansion of the Yin spirit white fungus.

However, time flew by and several hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The entire Taiyin Spiritual Tree became sluggish due to the long-term mana output, and the rich extremely Yin power that it originally exuded became much weaker.

The Withering Technique consumes a huge amount of mana. Li Mu gradually felt that he was unable to do what he wanted, so he had to put away the eternal deadwood staff in his hand and stopped the experiment with the Withering Technique.

After such a long period of experimenting with the Withering Technique, Li Mu found a sixth-level spiritual plant with a shorter maturity time from among the thirteen sixth-level Yin spiritual plants. However, it would take nearly four hundred years to reach maturity.

That’s it!

Li Mu frowned and looked a little gloomy. At present, he only found one extremely yin place, which was only suitable for planting yin-attribute spiritual plants. The other six kinds of extremely spiritual places have not yet been found.

Thinking of this, Li Mu had an idea and suddenly thought of something.

If there is no accident, the seven sealing places that form the ninth-order divine formation - the chaos sealing formation, condense the power of the extreme realm, and after tens of thousands of years of precipitation, they will form an extreme realm spiritual land. These places will definitely Like the extremely Yin spirit land, it will grow a large number of high-level Yin system spiritual plants, which is more suitable for the growth of the spiritual plants it belongs to.

Thinking that Qingyue True Dragon holds a key to the secret realm of Water Mansion, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be another sealed place where high-level water spiritual plants can be planted, so there are still five places left.

Li Mu's expression moved slightly, and he took out the purple jade slip left by Lord Tianyan from the Jiuzang Spirit Pearl, put it into his consciousness, and carefully read the last words of Lord Tianyan.

According to Tianyan Shenjun's description, the ancient secret realm - 'Lingxu Blessed Island', is located at the junction of the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm and the Zhongzhou Spiritual Realm. It is a remote sea area that will appear under certain special circumstances and needs to be determined by astrology. After hundreds of years of exploration and research, Lord Tianyan confirmed that the secret realm should be the dojo of a certain Mahayana monk. A powerful magic circle was deployed to cover it, causing it to suddenly appear at a given time.

…

This information made Li Mu fall into deep thought.

"...If there are no accidents, this place should be a sub-formation of another chaotic realm sealing formation?" Li Mu frowned and guessed to himself.

This was not Li Mu's random guess, but he came to this conclusion based on what he knew about the characteristics of the Chaos Territory Sealing Formation and the description of Lord Tianyan.

The Chaos Territory Sealing Formation requires the gathering of the power of the seven extreme realms to completely seal an area for tens of thousands of years. The description of the "Lingxu Fukushima" formation by Lord Tianyan is consistent with the seven sub-formations of the Chaos Territory Sealing Formation. They have different approaches but similar effects.

Li Mu took a deep breath and tried to calm down his inner excitement. If his guess is correct, then this secret realm should be one of the seven seals. If he can find it, enter it, and secretly plan a small piece of spiritual land.

If we can find seven sealed places within a hundred years, and carve out a spiritual land in each of them to plant spiritual plants, then not only will we be able to plant sixth-level spiritual plants, but also seventh-level spiritual plants, we can also plant higher-level spiritual plants. The spiritual plant can solve many problems caused by farming once and for all.

Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn't help but be fascinated by it.
