Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Time flies, two years have passed.

During this period, 'Li Mu' frequently appeared in Qixuan Sect as a stand-in puppet and took on the position of sect leader calmly. However, his true self has been hiding in the mysterious Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, constantly refining puppets and refining Make Lingbao.

In the past two years, Li Mu has become more and more sophisticated in his puppetry skills, refining a large number of combat puppets and substitute puppets. At the same time, he also exhausted his spiritual materials and refined a batch of high-level spiritual treasures and elixirs, which greatly enhanced his own foundation. In order to Go to the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Stars and prepare to explore the secret realm of Water Mansion.

During this period, Li Mu took the teleportation array to the Ice Ghost Valley to repair the seal restrictions in the extremely dark place, and quietly 'planned' a large area of ​​spiritual land for himself, which he would use to plant high-level spiritual plants in the future.

Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, a cave at the top of Five Elements Spiritual Mountain.

Li Mu sat cross-legged in the center of the refining room, his eyes slightly closed, his mind attached to the heavenly fire refining furnace in front of him. The sky fire refining furnace condensed with yin and yang thunder and fire, the flames in the furnace jumped and billowed, releasing a daunting high temperature.

Qingyue True Dragon and Red Fire Phoenix sat on both sides of Li Mu, controlling the Blue Spirit Glass Water and the Extreme Yang Sky Fire. Under the control of Li Mu's common soul technique, they participated in this weapon refining together.

Under Li Mu's control, two groups of sky fire were outputted with all their strength, refining around two high-level spiritual materials in the furnace, the seventh-level gold spiritual material - Starfall Golden Marrow, and the seventh-level wood spiritual material - Taixuan Wood Crystal.

Several high-level spiritual objects with different attributes began to slowly fuse together in the Heavenly Fire Refining Furnace. The meteorite golden marrow melted into liquid, shining with dazzling golden light, while the Taixuan Wood Crystal exuded a faint green light. It represents the endless growth of the wood attribute.

As time went by, these two high-level spiritual materials gradually melted, and their essences met and fused in the Skyfire Refining Furnace to form a brand new substance. This material not only contains the solidity and sharpness of the meteorite gold marrow, but also possesses the flexibility and vitality of the Taixuan wood crystal.

Under the command of Li Mu, Qingyue True Dragon and Red Refining Fire Phoenix accurately controlled the Blue Spirit Glass Water and Jiyang Sky Fire to ensure the smooth progress of the refining. Their eyes were fixed on the refining furnace, as if they were expecting something. .

Since he upgraded the weapon refining technique to level 7, Li Mu has refined a large number of puppets and many sixth-level spiritual treasures in the past two years. He has continued to become familiar with the skills of the seventh-level weapon refining technique and accumulated more experience in refining. The purpose is to be able to refine a seventh-level Taoist weapon with his own hands, and now he has finally entered this important stage of practice.

In order to ensure the success of this refining, Li Mu carefully selected several treasured seventh-level spiritual materials, the seventh-level wood spiritual material - Taixuan Wood Crystal, the seventh-level gold spiritual material - Star Meteor Golden Marrow, and the seventh-level fire spiritual material. The material is the golden lotus of the Hell, the seventh-level water spiritual material is the green clam pearl, and the seventh-level earth spiritual material is the essence of the earth.

Each of these five elements and seventh-level spiritual materials are rare treasures and contain powerful spiritual power. Some of them are rewards that Li Mu has received for refining weapons for others over the years, or they were exchanged for contributions from the Tianxuan Sword Sect. They are for what he is doing today. prepare.

Li Mu planned to use these high-spirited materials as a basis to refine an unparalleled five-element sword for himself.

Although Li Mu already has a seventh-level Taoist weapon - Wanjianshan, once this Taoist weapon is used, thousands of swords will be fired in unison, with extremely powerful momentum. It is more suitable for large-scale group battles. At this moment, Li Mu is pursuing However, it is a seventh-level Dao sword that is more refined and more suitable for individual combat. I hope that through this sword, I can maximize my own strength to deal with possible challenges in the future.

In the sky fire refining furnace, the flames are blazing, and the temperature is high enough to melt everything. Li Mu once again invested in the seventh-level fire-based spiritual material--Fire Hell Golden Lotus--and the seventh-level earth-based spiritual material--Earth Soul Essence. The two spiritual materials quickly melted and blended in the blazing flames, and perfectly combined with other fused spiritual materials to form an unprecedentedly powerful substance.

In order to further improve the sword quality of the Five Elements Sword, Li Mu decided to use the molten Hell Golden Lotus as the veins of the sword after careful consideration, giving the sword blazing flame attributes and powerful attack power; at the same time, using the Star Meteor Golden Marrow and Taixuan Wood crystal serves as the edge and soul of the sword, making it both hard and agile; the earth's core is used as the skeleton of the sword, providing solid support and endless earth-attribute spiritual power for the entire sword. Finally, green is embedded in the boring of the sword. Clam and pearl, the five elements are gathered together, and the embryo of the vessel is completely formed.

When the rare spiritual materials in the furnace fire began to slowly fuse, Li Mu took a deep breath, and then used his magical weapon refining power - Sky Fire Casting Spirit, using the power of sky fire to fuse the materials into one body and give them new powers. Under his control, several high-level spiritual materials gradually gathered in the Heavenly Fire Refining Furnace to form a primitive four-foot-long sword embryo, with the sword body emitting powerful aura.

The embryo of the weapon was solidified, and the sword boring naturally formed a round hole. This was to prepare for the next step. Li Mu quickly sent the seventh-level water-based spiritual material-Bibi Clam Qiongzhu into the Heavenly Fire Refining Furnace, and embedded it accurately. In the circular hole drilled into the sword, the green clam pearls contain powerful water spiritual power, which can add a soft power to the sword embryo and complete the water basis of the Five Elements Array.

Immediately afterwards, Li Mu used another magical weapon refining power - tempering heaven and earth, forming seals with his hands, urging the intertwining of extreme yang sky fire and yin and yang thunder fire, like two agile fire snakes, coiling around the weapon embryo, tempering the sword embryo and The green clams and pearls make them gradually merge into one, regardless of you and me.

Time passed bit by bit, Li Mu ran the Yin Yang and Five Elements Sutra with all his strength. When his spiritual power was insufficient, he swallowed the sixth-level spiritual elixir, used the magic weapon refining power - spiritual fusion, and began to slowly inject his spiritual power into the sword in the furnace. Embryo, this step is crucial. It can not only stabilize the shape of the sword embryo, but also inject vitality into it. At the same time, do not forget to fine-tune the firepower of the Yin Yang Heavenly Fire Artifact Refining Furnace to ensure that the instrument embryo can be perfectly formed at the most suitable temperature.

When the sword embryo gradually stabilized, Li Mu began to take the next step, using the magical weapon refining power - the divine weapon refining pattern, to condense complex weapon patterns on the sword embryo. These weapon patterns will be formed around the weapon array, like a piece of paper. The precise net tightly wraps the sword embryo, with the purpose of nurturing a five-element sword with innate weapon spirit, so that the sword can successfully breed the weapon spirit, endow it with powerful spirituality, advance to the level of Taoist spirit, and become a Taoist soldier.

The first thing that condenses is the golden awn, the basic pattern of the metal system, which represents the dazzling light and indestructible nature of metal. The golden pattern quickly shines and takes shape on the embryo.

Next, the root pattern of the wood system - endless life, symbolizing the vitality and resilience of the wood attribute. It is like a green vine wrapping around the sword, bringing endless vitality to the spiritual sword.

The root pattern of the water system - water spirit, gives the spirit sword the flexibility and change of the water attribute, making the sword body as flexible and changeable as water when attacking, and can penetrate every hole.

The fire-based root weapon pattern - fierce flames, gives the spirit sword the fiery heat and destructive power of fire, like a blazing flame that can burn all obstacles.

The earth-based root pattern - mountain weight, which enhances the stability and heaviness of the spiritual sword, makes every swing of the sword feel like the top of a mountain, with astonishing power.

…

The sword embryo in the furnace, the patterns on the sword body are condensed one after another.

As the inscriptions of the weapon patterns were completed, the deafening sound of swords suddenly sounded in the Yin Yang Heavenly Fire Artifact Refining Furnace. A powerful sword force that combined the power of the five elements was gradually taking shape in the furnace. Li Mu calmed down and continued to perform. The magical power of refining weapons has begun the steps of condensing the heavenly fire and condensing the heavenly fire into the spirit, with the intention of nurturing an innate sword spirit with all five elements.

"Buzz!" Accompanied by a crisp sword cry, a sword energy soaring into the sky suddenly bloomed from the Skyfire Refining Furnace. This sword energy was so powerful that it seemed to be able to tear the sky apart, which was awe-inspiring.

Done!

Li Mu's eyes flashed with a trace of unconcealable joy. The 24 weapon patterns were the symbol of the sixth-level top-grade spiritual treasure. The successful formation of the 25th weapon pattern meant that this divine weapon had been successfully promoted to the seventh-level low-grade Taoist weapon. .

When the last earth weapon pattern was carved, the entire sword power reached an unprecedented peak. Li Mu took a deep breath and slowly retracted his hands. His eyes shone with joy. The sword embryo in the furnace successfully gave birth to a seventh-level Taoist weapon. Daoling, this is a historic moment.

Li Mu chose to stop. If he continued, he might give birth to a more powerful sword spirit, and even transform this sword into a seventh-level Taoist weapon. However, there were also huge risks. If the weapon formation was difficult to maintain, then All efforts will be in vain.

The Five Elements Spiritual Sword rises slowly from the Heavenly Fire Refining Furnace, carrying the majesty of a natural Taoist sword. The sword body shines with the light of the Five Elements Spiritual Power. Gold, green, blue, red and yellow are intertwined, exuding A thick, calm and domineering atmosphere.

With a happy face, Li Mu reached out and made a move, and the Five Elements Spirit Sword flew into his hand on its own, making a "buzzing" sword sound, as if he was grateful for the life Li Mu had given him.

With the birth of the Five Elements Spiritual Sword, the sword energy in the Heavenly Fire Refining Furnace gradually dissipated, but the powerful sword power that filled the surroundings could not be removed. The Taoist sword intent of the Five Elements Spiritual Sword in Li Mu's hand, He couldn't help but attract the eyes of Qingyue True Dragon and Red Refined Fire Phoenix.

"Congratulations, master, for refining a magic weapon!" Chi Lian looked at Li Mu with his beautiful eyes and congratulated.

"We have really become a seventh-level Taoist weapon!" Qingyue stood up, looked at Li Mu and praised in surprise: "Master, your weapon-refining skills have become more and more exquisite."

"Haha! Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your help!" Li Mu laughed happily and looked at the Five Elements Spirit Sword in his hand fondly.

Innate magical power - identifying all spirits, its attributes are fully revealed in Li Mu's eyes.

At this time, Li Mu was rejoicing at the success of refining the Five Elements Spiritual Sword. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart. He used his spiritual mind to scan slightly and discovered the changes in Lin Maoshan. He immediately burst into laughter. He did not expect that the sword energy generated when he refined the Five Elements Spiritual Sword could actually help Lin Maoshan break through the foundation. This boy was quite lucky.

Li Mu was pleased that the Five Elements Sword Qi could have such a positive impact on his disciples, which was an unexpected surprise. He decided to take this opportunity to give Lin Maoshan some more opportunities to help him take a further step on the path of spiritual practice.

Li Mu waved his hand, found a jade slip from the Jiuzang Spiritual Bead, and immediately threw it towards Lin Maoshan.

Lin Maoshan was comprehending the realm of foundation building when he suddenly felt a jade slip flying towards him from the top of the mountain. He immediately realized something and quickly stretched out his hands to catch the jade slip respectfully.
