Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Li Mu put the purple jade slips into the storage compartment. There were still thirty years until the next opening of the Lingxu Island. At this time, there was no point in thinking about it.

Putting away the purple jade slip, Li Mu naturally looked at the Taiyin Spirit Wood in front of him, his deep eyes showing the light of thought.

This seventh-level Taiyin spirit wood is huge in size and has experienced tens of thousands of years of precipitation. It exudes a mysterious and distant aura. It is the best spiritual material for refining high-level puppets and is extremely rare.

After taking the Medicine King Spirit Ginseng last time, his spiritual gain increased significantly. Li Mu also upgraded the puppet technique to level seven and gained a lot of experience in refining puppets. Now refining level six puppets is a piece of cake for him. There is even a chance to refine a seventh-level heavenly puppet.

Before this, Li Mu had never refined a sixth-level puppet with his own hands, but he didn't have much worry about it. His attainments in puppetry are no longer what they used to be, especially after he accidentally obtained two Heavenly Puppet Spirit Tablets. In his spare time, he entered the Heavenly Puppet Spirit Tablets and conducted countless Heart Palace trials. Every time I try, I become familiar with the profound re-engraving of countless puppet spirit patterns.

Nowadays, Li Mu is very familiar with the thousands of puppet spirit patterns recorded on the Heavenly Puppet Spirit Tablet. He understands the function and meaning of each spirit pattern, and he also knows how to combine them skillfully to give people The puppet has powerful abilities and vitality.

At this moment, Li Mu couldn't help but feel his hands itching slightly as he looked at the seventh-level top-level puppet spiritual material in front of him - Taiyin Lingmu, preparing to refine it into a high-level puppet.

Li Mu's thoughts turned sharply, and he was already planning the refining ideas for the first level six puppet in his mind.

To refine a powerful sixth-level puppet, in addition to skilled skills and exquisite spiritual pattern engraving, it also requires appropriate refining materials and formulas. The cooperation between various spiritual materials must be just right to bring out the best. Maximum effectiveness.

Li Mu's spiritual consciousness went deep into the Jiuzang Lingzhu, where countless rare materials that he had carefully collected over the years were stored. He carefully selected and matched, striving to refine a powerful puppet.

Illusory Spirit, this sixth-level earth-based spiritual material is extremely rare. It can give the puppet the characteristics of phantom and phantom god, allowing the puppet to create various illusions in battle and confuse the enemy. As for Jinhong Jingjing, this sixth-level spiritual material contains sharp gold and gold elements, which can greatly enhance the attack power of the puppet, making its attacks indestructible. In addition to these two rare spiritual materials, Li Mu also carefully selected several other materials. , each one has unique attributes and functions. The goal is to perfectly integrate these spiritual materials and gather the spirits of the five elements to build an impeccable cycle of the five elements.

Through such refining, the puppet will not only have strong strength, but also unique characteristics and skills. In addition, it will also have powerful abilities such as the Five Elements Protection Formation and the Five Elements Escape Technique. It can even use the Five Elements to transform into something similar to the original body. breath.

Li Mu plans to use this to refine a batch of stand-in puppets so that in future expeditions and operations, the main body can be safely hidden in the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, and these stand-in puppets will appear on his behalf, which will greatly improve his safety and security. Concealment of action.

However, it is by no means an easy task to make a stand-in puppet that can hide from high-level monks. Such a puppet not only needs to be very lifelike in appearance and breath, but also needs to have the power of life and the breath of the soul to be able to detect flaws in the perception of high-level monks. In order to achieve this, Li Mu needs to study the source core of the Taiyin Spirit Wood Puppet. The fine carving and refining fully bring out the spirituality of the finished puppet.

…

Time flew by, Li Mu's eyes were shining brightly, and the ideas for refining the puppet outlined in his mind became clearer and clearer. He suddenly started to take action, summoning a sixth-level gold spirit sword from the Jiuzang Spirit Pearl, the sword body flashing with sharp golden light. He condensed his true energy, injected power into the spiritual sword, and then slashed down on the thick Taiyin spirit tree.

"Whoosh——"

The spirit sword cut through the air, making a sharp sound of breaking wind, and then struck the Taiyin spirit tree heavily. Although the seventh-level Taiyin spirit wood was extremely hard, it was still split into a deep crack by Li Mu's full blow.

Li Mu did not stop and swung his sword continuously, hitting the crack accurately every time until the crack gradually expanded. Finally, with a "click", the Taiyin Spiritual Wood was split into two.

The interior of the Taiyin Spiritual Wood presents a deep black color, and the core of the wood is vaguely visible.

Li Mu manipulated the gold spirit sword to gradually remove the ordinary wood around it, gradually revealing the wooden heart containing powerful spirituality.

This wooden heart is the essence of the Taiyin Spiritual Wood. It contains extremely rich vitality and spirituality. Li Mu can feel the powerful energy fluctuations emitted by the wooden heart. This is the core material for refining the source core of the stand-in puppet.

This wooden heart is half a foot long and gathers dense Yin energy. If there is no problem, it should be able to carve seven puppet source cores.

Li Mu concentrated his spiritual thoughts into needles and tried to contact the wood heart. However, before he could touch the Taiyin spirit wood heart, he was immediately attacked by its powerful Yin power, making his soul tremble.

Li Mu frowned. If he hadn't practiced Nebula Concept, his spiritual thoughts were extremely powerful, comparable to those in the late stage of Void Refining. With just this one move, his soul would have been injured by this Yin force.

Li Mu stared at the Taiyin Spirit Wood Heart in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was indeed a seventh-level spirit tree. The Yin power and spirituality contained in it were beyond imagination. This level of spiritual material was indeed priceless for refining puppets.

However, it is a big trouble to use it and carve it into the original core of a puppet.

Use the Yang Skyfire support?

Li Mu frowned and quickly rejected the decision.

The extremely yang sky fire is yang, and this wood is yin. Once the two come into contact, a strong conflict may break out, causing the yin power of the wood heart to lose, and the gain outweighs the loss.

You can try using Yin-Yang Thunder Fire. The thunder power of Yin-Yang Thunder Fire inherently restrains this wood. However, if you use Yin-Yang Thunder Fire, you are afraid that the spiritual nature of this wood will be damaged.

For a moment, Li Mu looked at Taiyin Mu Xin in front of him, hesitant, not knowing how to start.

If fire cannot be used, water can only be used. Li Mu couldn't help but think of the seventh-level spiritual water in the hands of Qingyue True Dragon - Blue Spirit Glass Water.

Thinking of this, Li Mu had a thought in his mind, and then quickly summoned Qingyue True Dragon, Xue'er, Red Flame Phoenix and Ginseng King from the Yuling Treasure Bracelet.

Amidst the sound of "whoosh", several figures quickly appeared in front of Li Mu one by one.

"Owner!"

"Master Li!"

When all the beasts saw Li Mu, a hint of joy flashed in their eyes, and they greeted him in unison, with deep respect and intimacy in their voices.

Li Mu nodded gently and said to them with a smile: "Well, the expedition to the Icefield Secret Realm is over. We are now in the Qixuan Sect, and I am practicing in seclusion in the sect master's mansion. This trip has been really hard on you, and there is nothing else to do now. Mission, you can move freely!”

"Already returned to the sect? How come it's so fast!" The blue-eyed golden ape couldn't help but exclaimed, as if he hadn't recovered from this expedition.

Xue'er's eyes widened and she asked with some confusion: "Mr. Li, it seems that I didn't help much with this trip. Why did it end so soon?"

After hearing this, Li Mu smiled slightly and gave them a brief overview of everything that happened in the secret realm, including the intervention of the two sword masters and the rapid return to the sect in the teleportation array. At the same time, he also mentioned it to Qingyue True Dragon. Borrowing Lanling Glass Water to refine Taiyin Muxin.

After listening to Li Mu's narration, all the royal beasts showed expressions of sudden realization. They did not expect that this expedition to the secret ice realm would cause such a big disturbance, and even the two sword masters of the Xuantian Sword Sect personally intervened.

Qingyue True Dragon looked at Li Mu, with a firm light shining in his eyes, and volunteered: "Master, if you need my help, just ask! The blue spirit glass water has been completely refined by me. If you let me take action on your behalf, it will be easy." many!"

After hearing this, Li Mu nodded happily and said gratefully: "Well, then I'll help you!"

Qingyue True Dragon nodded and silently walked to Li Mu, preparing to cooperate with him in refining the puppet.

Seeing this, Xue'er and other royal beasts did not dare to disturb Li Mu and said goodbye one after another.

Then, they were sent out of the Painting World Treasure Mansion by Li Mu. They had been in Qixuan Sect for decades. The elders and disciples of Qixuan Sect respected them very much and there was no need to worry.

"Master, it's time to start!" Qingyue True Dragon was ready. He opened his mouth and spit out a crystal clear green dragon ball. Then, blue water flowed out from the dragon ball, gathering into a dark blue water mass, which contained the Lanling Glass Water with powerful water energy.

"Yeah!" Li Mu nodded, remembered something, and gestured: "By the way, Qingyue, give me the formation card you got from the White Whale clan. This thing is related to the seal of the passage between the two worlds, and it is quite relevant. big!"

A look of doubt flashed in Qingyue Zhenlong's eyes, but without any hesitation, he continued to draw a jade token from his body and handed it to Li Mu.

Li Mu stared at the blue spirit glass water and jade tablets in front of Qingyue True Dragon. With his innate magical power - identifying all spirits, he could completely obtain their attribute information.

The power can familiarize the spirits of the array cards in advance and know the direction of the Bibo Water Mansion. 】

"Have you completed the refining of this object? Can you sense the location of the Water Mansion?" Li Mu looked at the Qingyue True Dragon and asked with concern.

Previously, the Lord of the Blood Demons, Dana, and the Nine Demons Sect did not hesitate to send Void Refining Assassins to launch a battle to destroy the island regardless of the cost in order to obtain this thing. If you guessed correctly, this object is the Seventh Formation of Chaos Territory Sealing. The water formation, one of the major formations, is the hub.

"I have already refined this object, and I can feel it vaguely, but the distance is too far, so I can only sense a general direction." Qingyue True Dragon frowned and replied.

"Well! After I finish what I'm doing, we'll go to the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Stars and search some more!" Li Mu nodded clearly, put away the jade token, and put it solemnly into the storage compartment.

After refining the stand-in puppet, Li Mu needs to go to the Ice Ghost Valley to set up a large formation for the Xuantian Sword Sect, repair the restrictions, and secretly plan a spiritual land for himself in the extremely gloomy place.

Li Mu took a deep breath, looked at Lanling Lishui in front of Qingyue True Dragon, and began to pinch the spirit control technique with his hands.

Li Mu looked up at Qingyue True Dragon and said seriously: "Next, we have to refine this piece of Taiyin spirit wood and carve it into seven puppet cores. The process is very complicated. The heart of this seventh-level Taiyin spirit wood has experienced Tens of thousands of years of precipitation, it contains extremely strong Yin power, and the refining process may cause harm to the soul if you are not careful. If it can be successfully refined, it will also be of great benefit to the soul. "

Qingyue True Dragon stared at the Taiyin Spiritual Wood Heart that exuded rich Yin power, with a trace of solemnity flashing in its eyes. When Li Mu said this, it immediately became nervous and prepared to face the next challenge.

In the eyes of the beasts, Li Mu is an omnipotent being. They follow him closely and witness his miracles time and again. No one understands his true strength better than them.

In the eyes of outsiders, Li Mu is just a god-transformation monk who has mastered the Five Elements and is master of arrays and weapons. However, they all clearly realize that Li Mu's strength is far more than that. Not only is he master of arrays and weapons, he can also draw spiritual talismans. , refining puppets and elixirs, the melee ability of body refining is enough to defeat the Demon Emperor, and the intensity of spiritual consciousness is even more difficult for Void Refining monks to match. The overall strength has surpassed ordinary Void Refining late stage monks.

In the eyes of the beast masters, it was only a matter of time before Li Mu was promoted to the rank of Taoist Lord and Taoist Ancestor. Therefore, when Li Mu explained the matter so solemnly, Qingyue True Dragon couldn't help but get very excited. Don't dare to be careless in the slightest.

The next moment, Li Mu used the magical power of controlling beasts - the Soul Sharing Technique, controlling the true dragon soul of Qingyue True Dragon, controlling the blue spirit glass water, and slowly moved towards the Taiyin Spiritual Wood.

"Whoosh!"

Qingyue True Dragon's face instantly turned pale, and he felt an extremely strong yin force pouring in along with the blue spirit glass water, as if it was going to freeze its dragon soul. That cold force, like thousands of years of ice, ruthlessly eroded its soul, making it feel unprecedented panic.

Fortunately, a bolt of thunder and fire illuminated the divine soul out of thin air. The weak firelight provided a little warmth and quickly helped it unseal the dragon soul. Although the light of the thunder and fire in the divine soul was weak, it was like the rising sun, gradually dispelling the haze in its heart. , Qingyue True Dragon felt that his soul quickly regained its vitality under the illumination of the fire.

Qingyue True Dragon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the fear in his heart also dissipated. He knew that this thunder and fire was a helping hand from Li Mu, who saved him at the critical moment. However, the Yin power contained in the Taiyin Spiritual Wood Heart was too terrifying. Oh, the master wants to use it to refine weapons!

With the continuous influx of soul power, the Qingyue True Dragon's soul quickly regained its vitality. Under the influence of Li Mu's common soul, it controlled the blue spirit glass water and quickly circulated in the Taiyin Spirit Wood.

Soon, the fast-flowing blue spirit glass water gradually recovered from the sluggishness and accelerated on the surface of the Taiyin Spiritual Wood. Miraculous and complex spiritual patterns gradually appeared on the heart of the Taiyin Spiritual Wood.
