Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Time passed little by little, and both Li Mu and Qingyue True Dragon fell into a deep spell-casting state. Their minds were completely immersed in the refining of the Taiyin Spiritual Wood. The Taiyin Spiritual Wood Heart was suspended in the air, exuding powerful and rich Yin power. Lan Ling The glass water flowed at high speed, countless pieces of wood fell down one after another, and the surrounding area was shrouded in powerful Yin force.

At this time, Li Mu's body was glowing with red and silver thunder fire. At the same time, the Qingyue True Dragon beside him was blessing to resist the Yin power emitted by the Taiyin Spiritual Wood Heart.

As Li Mu and Qingyue True Dragon's true essence continued to output, the blue spirit glass water flowed at high speed and washed away the Taiyin Spiritual Wood Heart. The spiritual patterns on the surface of the Spiritual Wood Heart became clearer and clearer, and its surface gradually became smoother.

Under the control of Li Mu, the Qingyue True Dragon controlled the flow rate of the blue spirit glass water and constantly adjusted the scouring intensity. After several days, one perfect puppet core after another gradually appeared from the heart of the Taiyin Spiritual Wood.

No more, no less, seven puppet nuclei shining with mysterious light are quietly suspended in the air, exuding powerful spirituality and vitality.

Li Mu and Qingyue True Dragon opened their eyes at the same time, with a joyful smile on their faces. They successfully refined the seventh-level Taiyin Spiritual Wood Heart into seven powerful puppet cores.

Li Mu disconnected the magical power of Yuling - Shared Soul, summoned the seven puppet nuclei in front of him, and looked at them carefully.

Except for the first puppet proto-core, which had some defects due to the first refining and was of slightly poor quality, only a sixth-order low-grade one, the other six puppet proto-cores exuded spirituality, Yin power, and quality that all reached the sixth-order top grade.

"Master, we finally succeeded!" Qingyue True Dragon looked at Li Mu with a tired face, but said with joy: "This refining was too difficult, but my dragon soul did get a lot of results during this refining. A small improvement.”

Li Mu nodded and looked at the seven puppet cores with a sense of accomplishment in his heart. The difficulty of refining this time was indeed not small. The success was thanks to the help of Qingyue True Dragon.

"Qingyue, thank you for your hard work. Thanks to your help this time, otherwise it would not have been so easy to succeed!" Looking at Zhenlong's exhausted and satisfied expression, Li Mu smiled and thanked him.

Qingyue True Dragon shook his head slightly and said quickly: "Master, it is my honor to be able to help you. Besides, I have gained a lot from this refining."

Every time I work with Li Mu to refine spiritual weapons, magic weapons, and the Qingyue True Dragon, I get a lot of gains, and this time is no exception. This time I assisted in refining the original core of the puppet, and its soul was baptized. After digestion, it will be ready for the next one. There is a lot of help in advancing to the next level.

"Well! You go to rest and stabilize your cultivation! I'll call you if necessary." Li Mu nodded with a smile and signaled.

"Yes!" Qingyue True Dragon responded respectfully, put away the blue spirit glass water, and his figure gradually blurred, and finally turned into a mist, and disappeared in an instant.

After watching Qingyue True Dragon leave, Li Mu put away the seven puppet nuclei, calmed down his excitement, and prepared to start the next important task - refining the puppet body.

After possessing the puppet proto-core, the next task was to shape a suitable body for these proto-cores. Li Mu made sufficient preparations for this and carefully selected various rare spiritual materials.

Prepare to use the seventh-level Taiyin spirit wood as the foundation of the body, which has the same origin as the original core of the puppet. It is also a wood attribute, and its hardness and contained Yin power can perfectly carry the puppet's body; and then use the sixth-level metal spiritual material-Jinhong Jingjing. , smelted into bone, it is strong and light, and can support the entire puppet structure; and the seventh-level undetermined true water serves as the puppet's meridians, flowing in the puppet's body, bringing it agility and vitality.

In order to make the puppet's body more realistic and powerful, Li Mu also used sixth-level red flame spiritual crystals to construct the puppet's muscles, giving the puppet powerful explosive power and endurance; he used sixth-level earth spiritual material - illusory spirit to refine the puppet's muscles. The skin gives it the effect of phantom and phantom, giving the puppet the ability to transform. What's even more valuable is that if it is successfully refined, it can give the puppet a certain degree of concealment.

Taking out several spiritual materials from the Jiuzang Spirit Pearl one by one, Li Mu began to refine them, using all his strength to use the power of the Five Elements to skillfully fuse these spiritual materials together. The spiritual fire melts several spiritual materials in the puppet's body...

Soon, under the meticulous carving of Li Mu's sword, wood chips fell one after another, and a piece of Taiyin spirit wood gradually revealed the outline of a human figure, with smooth lines, covered with complex and mysterious puppet spirit patterns, and exuding strong Yin power. .

With most of the puppet's body refined, Li Mu took a deep breath, put away the spirit sword, and began to smelt several other spiritual materials. This process requires more delicate operations, because different spiritual materials have different melting points and characteristics, and a little carelessness may lead to wasted effort.

Li Mu ran the Yin and Yang Five Elements Sutra with all his strength, condensed the Five Elements Spiritual Fire, and began to smelt the Jinhong Jingjing and Red Flame Spiritual Crystals. He accurately controlled the smelting speed of the two spiritual materials, and gradually refined them into the puppet's body. Under the Five Elements Spiritual Fire Under the blessing, the Jinhong Jingjing and the Red Flame Spiritual Crystal slowly melted and merged perfectly with the puppet body of Taiyin Lingmu.

Next, the puppet's meridians are smelted and the puppet's skin is refined. The Indeterminate True Water can flow freely in the puppet's body and can bring agility and life force to the puppet. Li Mu carefully injects the Indeterminate True Water into the puppet's body to form a A network of crisscrossing meridians.

Finally, the illusory spiritual soil was used to refine the puppet's skin... When all the spiritual materials were perfectly integrated into the puppet's body, Li Mu used his hands to perform magic tricks, condensed spiritual power and injected it into it, activating the built-in five-element magic circle, and the puppet's body The built-in five elements array gradually lights up, emitting powerful spiritual energy fluctuations.

When the Five Elements Array was perfectly activated, the entire puppet's body seemed to have completed its final transformation. The aura was shining brightly. The torso was densely covered with thousands of puppet spiritual patterns. Under this flowing aura, it seemed as if it had been affected by The summons quickly merged into one.

As the spiritual patterns gradually disappeared, a gray-silver wooden puppet body with restrained five-element spiritual light appeared in front of Li Mu, like a sleeping warrior, waiting for the moment of awakening.

Seeing this, Li Mu took out a top-quality puppet original core from the Jiuzang Spirit Pearl and eighteen top-quality spirit stones that shone with mysterious light, and placed them on top of the wooden puppet's chest, as if performing a mysterious ritual.

The next moment, the original core of the puppet and the eighteen top-quality spiritual stones approached the wooden puppet. They were immediately attracted by a mysterious force, sucked into the chest, and slowly integrated into it.

The original core of the puppet was steadily integrated into the puppet's chest, and the eighteen top-quality spiritual stones were scattered throughout the body. The eighteen top-quality spiritual stones shone slightly in various parts of the puppet's body, and an endless stream of spiritual power emerged, quickly interacting with the Five Elements Array. , the puppet's original core form a perfect spiritual circulation system, providing a steady stream of power for the puppet.

"Hey!" a soft cry sounded, and the whole puppet body suddenly shook, as if it had gained life, floating in the air, emitting five-color aura, it suddenly opened its eyes, and came to life, with a pair of empty eyes. , looking directly at Li Mu.

Li Mu looked at the living wooden puppet in front of him, stretched out his hand and gently touched its face, feeling the powerful power hidden under the cold skin, and his eyes shone with satisfaction.

At this moment, Li Mu seemed to be able to feel the puppet's "heartbeat", which was a unique rhythm belonging to spiritual power and the magic circle.

Innate magical power - Identifying all spirits, all attributes of the stand-in puppet are displayed on the character panel.

【unnamed】

[Grade: Sixth-grade high-grade spirit puppet]

[Characteristics: Phantom body, agility and concealment, ever-changing phantom breath, power of the five elements, escape from the five elements, and body protection from the five elements. 】

[Status: Odd spirit reborn, full of spirituality]

[Using the seventh-order Taiyin Spiritual Wood as the core, the seventh-order Taiyin Spiritual Wood as the base, the seventh-order Indefinite True Water as the vein, and the sixth-order illusory spirit, Jinhong Jingjing, and Red Flame Spiritual Crystal to refine the sixth-order Five Elements Spirit Puppet , this person is good at changing the five elements, transforming his body, hiding his whereabouts, and creating an illusion of the five elements. 】

Looking at the powerful attributes of the stand-in puppet, Li Mu showed a satisfied smile. The stand-in puppet refined this time has achieved the results he expected, both in terms of grade and characteristics.

Next, it was time to test the characteristics of this stand-in puppet. Li Mu used his hand to perform magic tricks, put his mind into it, and began to control the puppet and change its body shape.

I saw a five-element spiritual light flashing across the body of the stand-in. Its body structure, skin, and facial features began to undergo magical changes. Its face gradually became like Li Mu, and the clothes it wore also changed, almost becoming his. Reprint.

Li Mu tried to connect his spiritual thoughts with the stand-in puppet and control it to make various movements. He was pleasantly surprised to find that the stand-in doll's flexibility and coordination were quite good, including spell casting, true energy gathering speed, and combat movements. If you can do exactly the same thing as him, you probably have one-tenth or two-thirds of his combat power.

Looking at the puppet that was almost the same as himself, Li Mu frowned and felt dissatisfied.

Although the stand-in puppet's face, aura, and true energy are highly similar to his, only in appearance, it is the same as him, and even his temperament is almost like his, as if it is his shadow, but, its His eyes were slightly hollow. Although his eyes were bright, they lacked the infusion of soul and looked a little dull.

Obviously, this physical puppet imitates him perfectly in appearance and movements, but the hollowness in its eyes is a flaw that it cannot cover up. This sense of emptiness is the insurmountable gap between the stand-in puppet and the real person.

Li Mu pondered for a moment and came up with an idea. He decided to refine two spiritual eyes to solve this problem.

Li Mu immediately found two ape demon eye spiritual materials from the Jiuzang Spiritual Beads, started to condense the five elements of spiritual fire, and used a unique refining technique to refine two crystal clear fourth-level spiritual eyes that were overflowing with spiritual energy. They fit into the eye sockets of the stand-in.

As the eyeballs were embedded, the stand-in's eyes immediately became clear and lively, full of emotions, as if filled with soul.

Li Mu carefully observed the changes of the stand-in puppet, and found that its eyes were no longer empty and lifeless, but showed a lively look. This made him very happy, and he immediately showed a happy smile, as if thinking of Something happy.

In order to further test the effectiveness of the stand-in puppet, Li Mu possessed part of his spiritual thoughts on the stand-in puppet, as if giving it life. Then, he controlled the stand-in spirit puppet to leave the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion and stepped out of the Sect Master's Mansion.

Under Li Mu's control, the stand-in spirit puppet transformed into his appearance, walking in the air with an elegant posture, like an immortal descending to the mortal world, shuttled between the main peaks of the Qixuan Sect, causing sects to arouse excitement wherever they went. The disciples responded enthusiastically, and they all respectfully paid their respects.

"Disciple Chen Su, meet the sect master!" A female disciple said excitedly.

"Greetings to the sect master!" All the disciples echoed in unison, and the sound shook the sky.

'Li Mu' smiled and nodded in response, then slowly sat down near the sword fighting platform at Jinjian Peak.

At this moment, a fierce duel was taking place on the sword fighting stage.

The peak master, Alchemist Xin, has a strong figure and holds a golden long sword. He is fighting with a blue-eyed golden ape inextricably. Two golden afterimages intersect in the air, and the sword light and the ape's roar intertwine to form a fierce battle scene.

Alchemist Xin's sword skills were sharp and precise, and his sword power was thunderous. The blue-eyed golden ape was not to be outdone, and fought back with its agility and powerful force.

The audience was deeply attracted by this duel, staring intently at the sword fighting platform, for fear of missing any wonderful moment. Li Mu was concentrating on everything, preparing the refining of the puppet's body in the Painting World Treasure Mansion, while controlling the avatar through his spiritual thoughts. The puppet came to the scene and felt this fierce battle.

As the battle continued, the two combatants, Fang Shixin and the Blue-Eyed Golden Ape, seemed to have entered a mysterious rhythm. Their figures moved quickly on the sword fighting platform, and their movements became faster and faster, as if at lightning speed, making people dizzy. .

The long sword in the new alchemist's hand flew like a dragon, and thousands of sword lights burst out. Not to be outdone, the blue-eyed golden ape showed its amazing power and speed. The fists were like two golden meteors, waving continuously, hitting golden fist shadows all over the sky.

The golden fist shadows all over the sky and thousands of sword lights collided fiercely in the air, making a deafening roar, blooming with dazzling light, intertwining into a gorgeous picture, and the entire sword fighting platform seemed to be torn apart.

Suddenly, Alchemist Xin made a quick dash and merged with the spirit sword in his hand, turning into a ray of golden light and piercing the blue-eyed golden ape's chest. The golden ape roared and faced it with a huge fist.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise, golden light splashed everywhere, and Fang Shixin and the blue-eyed golden ape took a few steps back at the same time.

The monks who were watching burst into warm applause and cheers, cheering for this wonderful showdown.

Upon noticing that Li Mu was in person, Fang Shixin and the Blue-Eyed Golden Ape all restrained their fighting spirit and flew to him to pay their respects.

"Greetings to the sect master!" Fang Shixin saluted Li Mu with his sword in hand, his expression solemn and authentic.

"Master!" The blue-eyed golden ape looked at 'Li Mu' and called him affectionately, without any doubt that the 'master' in front of him was a puppet.

Seeing this scene in Huajie Baofu, Li Mu couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on his face. This stand-in puppet not only successfully deceived everyone, but even Xiao Jin, who was close to him, didn't notice it. He would use it to replace his original self in the future. It shouldn't be a problem anymore.

"You guys fought very well, don't worry about me and continue your competition." Li Mu said while controlling the stand-in puppet.

Hearing Li Mu's words, Fang Shixin and the Blue-Eyed Golden Ape were startled, but then they reacted and responded.

They returned to the sword fighting stage and started a fierce duel again, while 'Li Mu' stood quietly aside and continued to watch the fierce battle between the two people on the stage, as if he was reviewing their combat effectiveness.
