Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

After bidding farewell to the two sword masters, Qiu Changming took Li Mu and flew to the forbidden area of ​​Buried Sword Peak with his sword.

The two of them galloped all the way, passing through dense bamboo forests, flying over high peaks, and finally arrived at the entrance to the forbidden area of ​​Buried Sword Peak.

Buried Sword Peak, as its name suggests, is like a sharp sword thrust into the sky, and the forbidden area is the heart of this sharp sword. At the entrance, an invisible barrier blocks the way into the forbidden area of ​​the passage formation. Only by holding the opening It can only be opened with the forbidden formation order.

Qiu Changming took out a simple blue token from his arms, and concentrated his spiritual power in his hand. The array token flashed with mysterious light, and the barrier in front immediately rippled, and then slowly opened.

With the opening of the forbidden barrier, a passage below Burial Sword Peak was revealed. The Void Refining Sword Cultivators guarding on both sides of the passage all looked over with vigilant eyes.

"Elder Qiu!" Seeing Qiu Changming arriving, the two Void Sword Masters immediately saluted and showed their respect. Qiu Changming was the master of the sect and was qualified to enter the restricted area. Their eyes fell on Li Mu.

"This is the newly promoted supreme elder of our sect - Li Mu. From now on, he is also qualified to enter this place!" Qiu Changming looked at the two Lianxu guards and gestured.

Hearing this, the two Void Refining Guards were slightly startled and looked at Li Mu with surprise on their faces. They did not expect that the god-transforming monk in front of them would actually assume the position of supreme elder. All the supreme elders of the Xuantian Sword Sect were all inferior in cultivation. The worst among those who reach heaven and earth are those who are powerful in the Void Refining Realm. It is simply unheard of for a monk who transforms into a god to serve as a Supreme Elder.

However, since Elder Qiu said this, they naturally did not dare to question anything and quickly responded in unison: "Yes, I have met Elder Li!"

Li Mu nodded to the two of them and looked at Qiu Changming with puzzled eyes. He didn't know that he had become the Supreme Elder.

Noticing Li Mu's doubtful gaze, Qiu Changming smiled slightly and quickly explained: "Elder Li, you are very skilled in refining weapons. Now you can refine seventh-level Taoist weapons. You have also made several great contributions to the sect. Today, you have made great achievements for the sect." The door discovered the sealed place in the Nether Sea, indirectly prevented the expansion of the Demonic Abyss, and made another great contribution. "

Qiu Changming paused, looked at Li Mu and introduced solemnly: "Sword Master Feng, Sword Master Chen asked me to convey their message. In order to commend you for your outstanding contribution to the sect and recognize your weapon refining skills, they have decided to promote you to Tai As an elder, you will enjoy higher benefits within the sect. You can redeem your skills and exchange minor resources. From now on, the Qixuan Sect's clan taxes will be completely exempted. If Elder Li is unwilling to give in and leave the sect, the sect can do it for you. Choose another job.”

After hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart. He didn't expect that the sect would give him such a high honor and status, which made him feel cherished and moved.

"Thank you very much for the sect's love, and also thank Elder Qiu for conveying the message." Li Mu calmed down his excitement and gratefully thanked Qiu Changming.

Qiu Changming looked at Li Mu, with a glimmer of admiration in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Elder Li, don't thank me in a hurry. If you can refine the Taoist weapons for the two sword masters, the sect will naturally not treat you badly." you."

After listening to the conversation between Qiu Changming and Li Mu, the two Xu Lianxu guards' eyes shone brightly and they looked at Li Mu with piercing energy.

"It turns out that you are Elder Li, the master of weapons and formations. No wonder!"

"Elder Li, you can refine seventh-level Taoist weapons!"

The words of the two Lianxu guards were full of surprise and admiration. Although they usually guarded the Sword Burial Peak, they were not completely ignorant of the news within the sect. Li Mu's name and his talent in weapon refining and formations have long been a legend in the sect.

Now, after learning that Li Mu could refine seventh-level Taoist weapons, the two men looked at him with extremely hot eyes.

They looked at each other, took a step forward almost at the same time, and bowed deeply to Li Mu.

"Elder Li, we two brothers also want to ask you to help refine two Tao weapons. I wonder if you are available. You can tell me the price?" Another Xu Lianxu guard stepped forward and looked at Li Mu and said sincerely.

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You two Taoists are too polite. It's just that the spiritual materials needed to refine seventh-level Taoist weapons are extremely rare. I wonder if you two are ready?"

When the two of them heard this, they looked a little embarrassed. Although they knew that refining seventh-level Taoist weapons required precious spiritual materials, they did not prepare in advance. Only when Li Mu asked him about it did he realize this problem.

"Well...we did not prepare spiritual materials in advance." Another Void Refining Guard admitted with some embarrassment.

Li Mu nodded, expressing understanding. He did not directly refuse their request, but politely declined: "Two Taoist friends, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that the spiritual materials needed to refine seventh-level Taoist weapons are too precious and rare. If you can get them together, When it comes to refining Taoist spiritual materials, I will ask Elder Qiu to entrust him with it. I will not refuse anyone who comes to refine high-level spiritual treasures, even Taoist weapons."

"Well, you have prepared two copies of the spiritual materials for refining the weapon. If you still want to refine the weapon then, just come to me and entrust the refining." Qiu Changming smiled slightly, took Li Mu's words, and signaled to the two Void Refining cultivators. .

"Elder Li, please come inside! The sealing place here is full of golden evil energy, so be careful!" After speaking, Qiu Changming quickly changed the topic and made an invitation gesture to Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded, turning a blind eye to the eagerness and hot gazes of the two Void Refining cultivators. If the news about him refining seventh-level Taoist weapons spreads in the Xuantian Sword Sect, not too many people will come to refine Taoist weapons. , these two have no friendship, so just wait in line slowly!

Li Mu followed Qiu Changming into the underground passage. The surrounding stone walls shone with a cold light under the torches. The passage was so quiet that only their footsteps could be heard, echoing in the empty underground space.

The two of them galloped with their swords and quickly arrived at their destination, an underground space filled with golden evil energy. Golden light overflowed, filled with a chilling and mysterious atmosphere, and the air was solidified.

"Elder Li, if we go further, we will reach the core restricted area of ​​the seal formation. Is it enough to observe and understand the Tao of Gold here?" Qiu Changming stopped Li Mu and asked with concern.

Li Mu nodded and looked ahead.

I saw that at the core of the underground space, the rich golden evil spirit spread all over, like a loud golden egg, exuding the terrifying power of the golden evil spirit. The wind of the golden evil spirit was like a sword scraping, and if it was shrouded in it, the corpse would be destroyed. Nothing left.

【Jinsha Jingjing】

[Grade: Level 6 Spirit Mine]

…

Entering the passage into the sealed land, what Li Mu could see was various high-level gold-type spiritual mines and crystals. Under the innate magical power of identifying all spirits, detailed attributes were presented one after another. The golden luster emitted by these spiritual minerals and crystals shines brightly in the dim passage, making it dizzying.

Realizing that Li Mu was paying attention to various high-level gold spiritual materials, Qiu Changming smiled slightly and introduced: "Elder Li, you must have exchanged a lot of high-level gold spiritual materials in the Contribution Hall before! However, that amount is different from this extreme amount. Compared with gold veins, they are just a drop in the bucket. This vein has been deposited for thousands of years and contains countless rare gold spiritual materials. The quality and quantity are unimaginable to the outside world."

"This place is also one of Xuantian Sword Sect's most important sect heritage." Qiu Changming looked at Li Mu and solemnly introduced: "Everyone who can enter this place is the core strength of the sect. Elder Li, you can win this honor. , Not only because of your outstanding weapon refining skills, but also because of the sect’s trust in you.”

"Thank you, Elder Qiu!" Li Mu thanked him clearly.

The scale of the large formation in front is comparable to that of the Great Yin Land's sealing formation. The golden evil energy is like a golden flame, gathering into a bright ocean, surging in it, exuding shocking fluctuations, and hiding endless potential. strength.

Below, there is a spiritual peak enveloped by the sea of ​​golden evil. The entire spiritual peak shows a golden luster, standing majestically, like an immortal god, quietly guarding this place, enveloped by the rich golden evil air. It is The eye area of ​​the Jinsha Yuan Gathering Formation, one of the seven sub-formations of the Chaos Seal Formation.

The Jinsha Yuan Gathering Formation is still complete, and there has been no leakage of the formation's power due to the passage of time.

Li Mu scanned around with his spiritual thoughts and found several high-level gold spiritual plants, golden blade spiritual vines, and red gold spiritual grasses. There were only seven or eight types. The scale and variety were much smaller than those in the extreme Yin land.

Discovering the existence of gold spiritual plants, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a little happy. His plan had not come to fruition. If he could plan a spiritual field here and plant high-level gold spiritual plants, they would be able to use this place without spending too much energy. Take advantage of the situation and achieve efficient growth.

Seeing Li Mu staring at the sealing formation in front of him, frowning for a while and smiling for a while, it was so weird. Qiu Changming thought he was studying the sealing formation and comprehending the Tao Yun, so he stood aside and waited silently.

"Elder Qiu, I am going to occupy a spiritual land here for the purpose of refining weapons, no problem!"

Li Mu suddenly turned to look at Qiu Changming and signaled.

"Of course, as long as it doesn't affect the seal of the formation, Elder Li, you can do whatever you want." Qiu Changming nodded happily and said simply.

Li Mu smiled slightly, took out the Sifangwu from Jiuzang Lingzhu, found an open place, and released it.

In the blink of an eye, cyan light bloomed, the magical weapon instantly grew larger, and a house appeared in the open space. Li Mu plunged into the weapon refining room of the Sifang House, summoned the yin and yang thunder and fire, condensed the heavenly fire in the weapon refining furnace, and prepared to start refining the weapon.

Li Mu put his spiritual consciousness into Sword Master Chen's storage ring and selected high-level spiritual materials for refining Taoist weapons.

Two of the eighth-level gold-type spiritual materials containing rich Taoist essences came into Li Mu's eyes immediately.

【Dao Wenjin】

[Grade: Eighth Grade Spirit Mine]

[Characteristics: Innate Taoist patterns, eternal gold, sharp golden light, indestructible, extremely golden foundation. 】

[Status: The golden spirit is not obvious, the edge is restrained]

[After a hundred thousand years, a piece of Dao pattern gold was born in the gold-type Tianling mine veins. It is full of endless power of gold. After long years of baptism and tempering, the metal patterns on the surface of the spiritual crystal have become natural. Only Only by calcining it with heavenly fire can its activity be stimulated, so that we can peek into the secrets of the metal and understand the Tao of gold. 】

【Star Core Gold】

[Grade: Eighth-Level Spiritual Object]

[Characteristics: The gold of stars, the amount of ten thousand trillions, the eternal existence of the golden realm, the immortality of the golden spirit, the essence of gold. 】

[Status: Abundant spirituality, restrained Tao Yun]

[A star crystal core born from the outer star field contains endless gold essence. After countless years of condensation, the golden lines on the gold crystal shell have been stably solidified, and the Tao Yuan is hidden. 】

Innate magical power - identifying all spirits, the attributes of two eighth-level gold spiritual objects were presented in detail in Li Mu's eyes.

Li Mu looked at the two eighth-level gold spiritual materials and fell into deep thought.

Using eighth-level spiritual objects to refine seventh-level Taoist weapons will increase the success rate a lot. However, two eighth-level gold spiritual objects have contradictory attributes and have their own characteristics. They can only be refined separately. If they are refined, , it’s not too much to take one as a reward!

Thinking of this, Li Mu smiled slightly and sent the Dao Wen Jin into the Heavenly Fire Refining Furnace, conveying spiritual power and helping the Yin and Yang Thunder Fire to melt it.

The smelting of eighth-level gold spiritual materials is destined to be a long process. After calcining for several hours, the Dao pattern gold materials will turn slightly red.

Qiu Changming watched silently from the side, understanding that refining Taoist weapons was not easy and required a lot of energy and time from Li Mu.

Seeing Li Mu concentrating on refining the weapon, Qiu Changming decided not to disturb him anymore. After saying goodbye softly, he turned and left.

Li Mu was concentrating on controlling the temperature in the Heavenly Fire Refining Furnace. The yin and yang thunder fires were surging in the furnace. There was no sign of Dao Wenjin melting under the burning of the furnace fire. When Qiu Changming left, he was nowhere to be seen.

Li Mu summoned the Red Fire Phoenix from the Royal Spirit Bracelet and asked it to release the Extreme Sun Fire to assist in refining the weapon.

The Tianxu Cauldron appeared in response to the move, and a larger purple-gold fire phoenix flew out of the cauldron, spread its wings and circled around Li Mu several times, and "chirped" several times at Li Mu excitedly.

Looking at the purple-gold fire phoenix manifested by the extreme sun sky fire, Li Mu smiled with satisfaction. Since it absorbed the extreme sun flame crystal, its spirituality has grown tremendously, and the power of the sky fire released has become even more powerful.

"Stop being cute and get to work quickly. When the work is done, I will reward you with a sixth-level fire-type spiritual material." Li Mu pointed at the Heavenly Fire Refining Furnace and said to the Purple Gold Fire Phoenix.

Upon hearing this, the Purple Gold Fire Phoenix chirped excitedly, then flew above the Heavenly Fire Refining Furnace and plunged into the Heavenly Fire Refining Furnace.

Soon, the extreme yang sky fire and the yin and yang thunder fire intertwined, and the temperature in the furnace suddenly increased, which greatly accelerated the melting speed of Dao Wen gold. Seeing this, Li Mu felt happy, knowing that refining Dao weapons this time should be no problem. .

Li Mu was concentrating on observing the changes in the fire while adjusting the output of spiritual power to ensure the smooth progress of the weapon refining process.

Time passed little by little, and with the help of the Extreme Sun Sky Fire, the Taoist Gold gradually melted into a golden liquid, rolling in the Skyfire Refining Furnace. Li Mu carefully controlled the heat while imagining the shape and pattern of the Taoist weapon in his mind. Array of weapons. (End of chapter)
