Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

"Heavenly fire is indeed something that a weapon refiner longs for in his life. It is of great help to the weapon refiner and has the effect of overcoming the heaven and earth. Master Li, although you are very skilled in weapon refining, this thing cannot be refined except by the Nascent Soul True Monarch. It would be more suitable for you to get a kind of spiritual fire refining first." At the end of the introduction, Wang Wenbao looked at Li Mu and consoled him.

Hearing this, Li Mu frowned slightly and sighed silently in his heart.

Skyfire is so difficult to deal with that the sixth-level spiritual treasure, the Royal Spiritual Treasure Bracelet, has to be left in the storage compartment for a while.

The Royal Spirit Bracelet, a high-level spiritual treasure, cannot be expected in a short period of time, and the same is probably true for the Ling Yun Black Tortoise Armor. Li Mu can only focus on the fifth-level thunder book first.

"Forget it, let's not think too much about Sky Fire!" Li Mu waved his hand, looked at Wan Wenbao and asked for help: "Shopkeeper Wang, I have been researching on refining thunder spiritual weapons recently, can you help me find some thunder arrays? Law, or thunder-based materials.”

"No problem, I will try my best to collect it for Master Li. I will go to the warehouse to look around later. There should be a lot of thunder spiritual materials." Wang Wenbao happily agreed.

"Okay, it's time for me to refine weapons. What spiritual weapons do you need me to help you refine? Hurry up and make arrangements! I'll help you solve it as soon as possible. I have to leave again in two days and will not return until two months later. Yangcheng." Li Mu explained with a smile.

Hearing this, Wang Wenbao was so anxious that he almost jumped up, thinking that Master Li would stay in Wanbao Pavilion for a long time when he came back! Who knew I wouldn't be able to stay for a few more days.

"Master Li, shall we go to the weapon refining room now? Arrange the weapon refining matters now." Wang Wenbao immediately stopped being polite to Li Mu and made an invitation gesture.

Li Mu smiled and nodded, following Wang Wenbao towards the weapon refining workshop.

"By the way, when will Taoist Lingyin's private transaction begin?" Li Mu asked Wang Wenbao curiously.

"We will start as soon as there are enough people. There is no time limit. Master Li, do you want to participate?" Wang Wenbao asked with a smile.

"Yeah! Participate if you can, but if it doesn't work, forget it!" Li Mu said with a smile, not taking it too seriously.

His innate magical power - identifying all spirits, might be able to pick up a lot of things by participating in this kind of foundation-building trade fair. However, he has already picked up a lot of high-level spirit treasures, but they can only be looked at but cannot be used, which makes Li Mu feel a little discouraged.

"Master Li, if you want to participate, I will try my best to arrange it for you." Wang Wenbao responded with a smile. Things like connections should not be too easy for him. In order to help him get the Yunwu Lingcha seeds, he had to contact Lingyin. Let’s have a good exchange, Taoist.

"Sorry for bothering you!" Li Mu thanked him with a smile.

While talking, the two came to the weapon refining workshop.

"Shopkeeper Wang, Master Li!" Liu Zhong saw the arrival of the two men and quickly stepped forward to greet them respectfully.

"Liu Zhong, go get all the materials for refining the 'Soul-Breaking Knife', 'Lingxiao Bow', and 'Zhenfeng Tower'. Master Li wants to refine the weapons!" Wang Wenbao looked at Liu Zhong and said impatiently urged.

Time is money, and Wang Wenbao cherishes Master Li's time very much.

"Okay, okay!" Liu Zhong responded and immediately went to the warehouse to get the materials.

"Shopkeeper Wang, go and do your work! I'll leave it to you about the tea seeds." Li Mu greeted Wang Wenbao and then walked into the refining room No. 1.

Watching Li Mu enter the refining room, Wang Wenbao sighed and couldn't help but feel his head grow bigger.

The second-level Yunwu Lingcha has always been Taoist Lingyin’s treasure. If I ask for his Lingcha seeds, I’m afraid I’ll have to pay a lot of money!

Wang Wenbao gritted his teeth, reluctant to part with the child and unable to trap the wolf. After thinking clearly, he immediately left Wanbao Pavilion and went to Taoist Lingyin's dojo to find a spiritual seed for Li Mu.

Time flies and two days pass.

For two days, Li Mu stayed in the refining room No. 1, constantly refining spiritual weapons, and efficiently refined thirteen third-level high-grade spiritual weapons, completing most of the weapon refining tasks in Wanbao Pavilion.

Looking at the newly released third-level high-grade spiritual weapons, Wang Wenbao was extremely pleasantly surprised. When he was overjoyed, his smile suddenly disappeared, his face became very ugly, and he thought of something sad.

Several other weapon refiners from Wanbao Pavilion found it extremely difficult to refine a third-level high-grade spiritual weapon. They even needed to burn incense and meditate, in order to increase the success rate of the weapon.

However, it is completely different when it comes to Master Li. He is proficient in the method of divine refining. The spiritual devices he refines are of high quality, with stable quality, high refining efficiency and high success rate. The loss of refining materials is very small. The income obtained from third-level spiritual weapons is several times that of other weapon refining masters.

There are four levels of spiritual weapons: upper, middle, lower, and top quality. First-class spiritual weapons, middle and low-grade spiritual weapons, are consumed by monks in the early stage of Qi refining. In the late stage of Qi refining, monks have the ability to consume and use first-class high-grade, top-grade spiritual weapons, or It is one of the few second-level low-grade spiritual weapons.

Foundation-building monks with insufficient financial resources can also use second-order mid-grade and high-grade spiritual weapons. Foundation-building monks with rich financial resources begin to pursue third-order mid- and high-grade spiritual weapons in an effort to defeat second-order monsters.

Spiritual weapons are extremely important for improving the combat effectiveness of monks. The overall strength of monsters is much higher than that of human monks. Only by relying on the power of high-level spiritual weapons can they be defeated.

Therefore, third-level mid-to-high-grade spiritual weapons not only sell well, but can also be sold at a good price. For those foundation-building hunting cultivators who tie their heads to their waists, getting a third-level high-grade spiritual weapon may be a good idea. You can single-handedly challenge the second-level monsters, gain huge profits, and start a virtuous cycle from then on.

As for spiritual weapons of level 4 and above, only Jindan cultivators can afford them, and Master Li should not be able to refine them yet.

However, in Wang Wenbao's eyes, 'Master Li', who could stably produce third-level high-grade spiritual weapons, was like a cornucopia.

Wang Wenbao wished he could lock 'Master Li' in the weapon refining room and let him keep refining weapons.

It's a pity that this man is a restless master and cannot listen to advice at all. It is impossible for him to stay in the refining room and refine weapons to earn spiritual stones.

He said that it was only two days, and it would not do to stay for one more day. Even if he was willing to pay him double the spiritual stones, Master Li was as stubborn as a donkey and didn't care at all.

He also said that as long as enough spirit stones are spent, bringing too many spirit stones will easily lead to disaster,..., and other such nonsense.

Wang Wenbao begged his grandfather, but even those who complained to his grandmother could not persuade him.

Even more difficult to maintain than his grandfather.

"Shopkeeper Wang, is Taoist Lingyin's trade fair still open? If it can't be held, I have to leave and return to Gangyang City in two months." Li Mu happily accepted the two storage bags, which he practiced The spirit stones obtained from the weapon commission, as well as a bag of 'specialties' prepared by Wang Wenbao, including the seeds of Lingwu Lingcha, thunder stones, thunder spirit stones, spiritual pills and the like.

"Come on, we'll start tomorrow, Master Li. Why don't you stay one more night and refine the remaining spiritual weapons?" Wang Wenbao looked at Li Mu pitifully and persuaded.

"You didn't lie to me, did you?" Li Mu frowned and looked at Wang Wenbao suspiciously.

This old guy has tried every possible means these days to coax him to stay and help refine the spiritual weapons. If Li Mu hadn't been determined and had to rush back to farm, he would have used his property, Taoist companions, top-quality skills, and high-level weapon-refining materials. ..., and other means to tempt.

"Don't worry, Master Li. I said it will be tomorrow, and I will never deceive you!" Wang Wenbao patted his chest and promised that if he could keep Master Li for one more night, he might be able to refine two, no, three pieces of the third-level top grade. Spiritual weapon.

This huge profit, even if Taoist Lingyin doesn't have time to hold this private trade fair tomorrow, is enough for him to use all his contacts to facilitate this private trade fair.

Li Mu thought about it carefully. Before coming to Gangyang City, he set up a formation with sufficient water spiritual power for the hundred acres of spiritual fields in Qinglong Valley. There should be no problem with the hundred acres of spiritual plants. At most, the red wolf will starve. However, , that guy can already catch fish in the pond, so it shouldn't be a problem if he stays for one more day.

"Okay! I'll stay one more day and go to the trade fair tomorrow!" Li Mu nodded with a smile.

"Thank you, Master Li!" Wang Wenbao thanked him with joy, and quickly made an invitation gesture, leading Li Mu to the weapon refining room, and excitedly introduced: "Master Li, this time Fairy Ning is going to refine a fire element. For the spirit whip, he provided twenty kilograms of third-order flame marrow crystals, fifty kilograms of third-order red rainbow steel, a second-order fire python spine, and Wang Taoist, who wanted to refine a gold spirit sword... "

Li Mu reluctantly followed Wang Wenbao to the weapon refining room.

"I got it, go out! Remember to ask someone to bring in more second-order monster meat." Li Mu returned to the No. 1 refining room, drove Wang Wenbao away, and explained.

"No problem! Just tell Liu Zhong if you don't have enough." Wang Wenbao agreed happily.

…

The next day, early in the morning.

Li Mu took the spiritual boat arranged by Wanbao Pavilion and flew to a spiritual mountain near Gangyang City, landing directly at a Taoist temple built on the top of the mountain.

"Master Li, this Lingyin Taoist Gym is the Taoist temple of Lingyin. Let me escort you down!" The foundation guard arranged by Wanbao Pavilion looked at Li Mu and signaled.

Li Mu nodded, and under the escort of the foundation-building guards, he flew into the air and landed at the entrance of Lingyin Gym.

At this time, a lean Taoist in his fifties with a rosy complexion and a green Taoist robe stood at the door. He must be the owner of this Taoist temple - Taoist Lingyin. He was also accompanied by two Taoist boys around ten years old.

"Yes, Master Li from Wanbao Pavilion! Please, please, please come inside. Fellow Taoists from all walks of life are about to arrive, and the transaction is about to begin!" Taoist Lingyin greeted Li Mu enthusiastically with a bright smile.

"Master Li, go in! I'll wait for you outside. Remember to call me if you need anything!" The Foundation Establishment Guard looked at Li Mu and signaled.

"Okay!" Li Mu smiled and nodded.

"Master Li, please come in first. I'm waiting for two Taoist friends." Lingyin Taoist said to Li Mu, and then ordered the Taoist boy on the right: "Little boy, take Master Li and invite him!"

"Master Li, please come with me." The little boy nodded and guided the way with a sweet childish voice.

"Yeah!" Li Mu responded with a smile, and only after listening to the voice did he realize that this handsome little Taoist boy was a little girl.

Soon, Li Mu followed the female Taoist boy to the trading venue.

There were already more than a dozen foundation-building monks gathered in Nuo University's venue, including Taoist priests, female cultivators, sword cultivators, bare-armed men with wine gourds, and scholars and Confucian scholars.

About a quarter of an hour later, Taoist Lingyin came with two foundation-building monks, and everyone for this private trade fair arrived.

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time. The people participating in this private trading meeting have gathered. Thank you fellow Taoists for coming. This private trading meeting has officially begun!" Taoist Lingyin announced with a smile as he looked at everyone.

"Wait a minute, fellow Taoist Lingyin, all the fellow Taoists present know each other, and they all have foundation-building cultivation levels. However, this little friend is very unfamiliar, and his cultivation level is only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, so he is not qualified to participate in the meeting! "At this moment, a burly monk with a beard looked at Li Mu and asked bluntly.

Hearing this,

All the foundation-building monks present were either curious, watching the show, or watching indifferently, waiting for Taoist Lingyin's explanation.

"What Fellow Daoist Chen said is, it's my fault, I forgot to introduce it to everyone!" Taoist Lingyin smiled apologetically, and then introduced to everyone calmly: "This little friend is the weapon refiner of Wanbao Pavilion - Master Li is a high-level weapon refining master. In the past, many third-level high-grade spiritual weapons at the Wanbao Pavilion auction were made by Master Li. Master Li was interested in participating in this trade fair, so I agreed without telling everyone. Please explain in advance, and please forgive me, fellow Taoists."

Hearing this, all the foundation-building monks suddenly realized that no wonder Lingyin Old Taoist would let a Qi Refining monk participate in this trade fair. It turned out that this young man was Master Li from Wanbao Pavilion.

"It turns out to be Master Li, welcome, welcome!"

"Master Li, you are so young, I have admired you for a long time, I have admired you for a long time!"

"Master Li, just tell me what you need for the transaction later, and Xu will try his best to raise it for Master Li."

"Why are the Hu guards from Wanbao Pavilion waiting outside the door? It turns out they are here to send Master Li!"

…

For a moment, all the foundation-building monks bowed their hands to Li Mu to express their goodwill.

"Fellow Taoists, is everything alright? Then the trade fair will begin!" Taoist Lingyin looked around the audience and asked with a smile.

After finishing speaking, Taoist Lingyin pointed to the courtyard next door where a large round table was placed, and guided: "Please come to the meeting place in the courtyard and sit down!"

Hearing this, all the foundation-building monks walked to the next courtyard one after another, and then sat down on the futons next to the round table one by one.

Li Mu followed the foundation-building monks to the courtyard and sat down next to a female foundation-building monk in a red dress.

Li Mu looked around and saw that there were eighteen futons under the round table. Apart from him, the Qi Refining monk, there were a total of seventeen Foundation-building monks present.

It was the first time that he saw so many foundation-building monks. The spiritual pressure emanating from them was very strong. Because of his identity as 'Master Li', he gained their respect. Li Mu felt a little complicated for a while.

"The rules of this transaction are that each Taoist friend takes three spiritual objects at a time and puts them on the table for publicity, introducing the value of the spiritual objects and the things to be traded. This transaction can be quoted by the spiritual stones. The transactions are carried out in order from left to right. If If the transaction is not completed, the next Taoist friend will continue the transaction. Of course, some Taoist friends will ask their fellow Taoists to remain silent during the transaction and compete with each other with quotations, which hurts everyone's harmony. After the transaction is completed, no regrets are allowed. Please also Let's all be witnesses and abide by these trading rules." Taoist Lingyin looked around at everyone and first told the trading rules of this private trade fair.

"Yes, this transaction is very fair!"

"Very good, I agree!"

"Yeah! Let's do it!"

…

All the foundation-building monks nodded and agreed to follow this trading rule.

"If everyone agrees, the transaction will begin, and Ling will make the move!" Lingyin Taoist smiled and nodded, and then took out three spiritual objects from the storage bag, namely: a small bronze gourd, an orange piece Jade, a large animal skin bag.
