Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

Chapter 555: A Century of Change (Part 2)

Countless secrets and subtleties about puppetry surged in Li Mu's mind, and soon he accepted the inheritance of "The Heavenly Puppet Casting Taoist Scripture".

Li Mu opened his eyes and woke up, his eyes flashed with stars, revealing a wisdom that could understand the essence of all things.

"Congratulations, Pavilion Master, I'm so happy to receive the Wushang Dao Tool!"

Feeling the extraordinary power of the Eight-Sided Puppet Control Card, Liu Yalan looked at Li Mu with envy and congratulated her heartily.

At this time, Liu Yalan realized that there were so many puppet jade cards today, and they were all fragments of a Taoist artifact. Li Mu had collected them all. This achievement was not just the blessing of luck. It made sense to her. I couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration in my heart.

"Haha, Shopkeeper Liu, you are indispensable for this." Li Mu smiled heartily, and with a thought, he took out several bottles of exquisite elixirs from the Tianxuan Ring and handed them to Liu Yalan.

"These bottles of elixir are rewarded to you. I hope they can help you cross the threshold of the realm of divine transformation." Li Mu said with a smile, and introduced him in detail: "This bottle is called the sixth-level 'Biluo Concentrating Soul Pill'. It is made from blue grass as the main material, combined with rare materials such as deep sea sand and cloud dew. Taking this pill can calm the mind, calm the mind, and effectively relieve the impatience caused by the agitation of spiritual power during the practice. and anxiety, making your state of mind more peaceful, which is conducive to a deeper understanding of the way of heaven and laying a solid mental foundation for advancing to the level of god.”

As he spoke, Li Mu turned around slightly and picked up another bottle: "This bottle is 'Purple Thunder Pill'. This pill is specially designed to strengthen the physical body. This pill contains the power of thunder. After taking it, the power of thunder will be gentle." The earth tempers your physical body, removes impurities, and strengthens your body to match your physical strength with your spiritual power, so that you can prepare your physical body for transformation when you advance to become a god and transcend the tribulation."

Immediately afterwards, Li Mu pointed to the third blue pill bottle and gestured: "This bottle is the sixth-level 'Xuan Yuan Pill'. It has mild medicinal properties and is a good medicine to stabilize the foundation and nourish the soul. It has the Xuanyuan Fruit as the core and is supplemented by Refined with a variety of precious medicinal materials such as Millennium Ganoderma lucidum and Earth Spirit Essence, after taking it, it can penetrate deep into the bone marrow, nourish your soul and foundation, make your cultivation more stable, reduce the risk of breakthroughs, and pave the way to spiritual transformation. A smooth road.”

Following Li Mu's introduction, three bottles of elixir were displayed in front of Liu Yalan one after another, exuding an alluring medicinal fragrance and containing endless vitality and power. Her eyes shone with shock and gratitude, her hands trembled slightly, and she could hardly believe it. Everything before my eyes.

"Pavilion Master, this... this is too precious!" Liu Yalan's voice was choked with sobs. She knew the value of these elixirs and understood Li Mu's expectations and trust in her. She never thought that she would receive such a precious reward.

"Haha, Controller Liu, you don't have to be polite. There are still many such elixirs. You will need to sell them in exchange for more spiritual materials." Li Mu laughed and then took out a storage item from his arms. He handed the ring to Liu Yalan and signaled: "This time the spiritual objects, including the puppet artifacts, can be released as soon as possible. The quantity is quite large. If there is still demand, feel free to come again."

Liu Yalan nodded clearly, took the storage ring, penetrated her consciousness, and was immediately shocked.

The storage ring has a vast space, with a dazzling array of spiritual objects and puppets arranged neatly, each emitting powerful spiritual light, several Taoist artifacts, hundreds of bottles of spiritual elixirs, and thousands of high-level spiritual talismans, which are priceless. Such a huge handiwork, even if The treasure house of Zhenbao Pavilion was inferior in comparison, and Liu Yalan felt an indescribable excitement and shock in her heart.

Every time she brought a large amount of high-level spiritual materials to deliver to the Pavilion Master, Liu Yalan would experience some shock. The Taoist tools refined by the Pavilion Master, or various high-level spiritual talismans, slowly added spiritual elixirs, and high-level puppets. .

However, this time is particularly different. The high-quality puppets in the storage ring occupy a considerable part of the space. They have different shapes, some are as lifelike as real people, and some are full of machinery, but they all reveal an extraordinary atmosphere. Not only are there a large number of puppets, there are both fifth-level and sixth-level puppets, there are as many as 3,000. The tools are carefully refined, and both the selection of materials and the puppet formation patterns have reached an extremely high level.

"Pavilion Master, the number of these puppets is really amazing!" Liu Yalan couldn't help but speak, looking at Li Mu and asked curiously: "With such a large number and high quality, the sect has recruited several people to refine the sixth-level puppets. The Puppet Master?”

Li Mu smiled slightly and glanced at Mingyue, the seventh-level puppet beside him. At this moment, she was staring directly at the eight-sided puppet suppression card, her eyes full of longing.

"No, the origin of these puppets does have some special reasons. However, I can't tell you for the time being." Li Mu smiled apologetically and said: "Get rid of them as soon as possible. If you can, replace them with more suitable for refining high-level ones." The high-level spirit wood of the puppet is the spirit mine.”

"Yes! Pavilion Master, I will deal with it as soon as possible and try my best to search for the high-level spiritual trees and minerals you need." Liu Yalan nodded clearly, without any discomfort.

"Well, go ahead and do your work, and call that boy Maoshan in." Li Mu smiled and signaled.

Liu Yalan retreated in response. Although she had many questions in her heart, she also understood that Li Mu had his own considerations and it was inconvenient to ask more questions.

After watching Liu Yalan leave, Li Mu turned to look at Mingyue and asked with a smile: "What, you want this?"

"Well! Master, can you give it to me!" Mingyue nodded and said coquettishly to Li Mu. Her eyes were firmly fixed on the eight-sided puppet tablet, as if it was not just a spiritual object, but a spiritual object. It is the key to the unknown world.

Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and hesitated slightly. The valuable "Tianpuppet Casting Taoist Scripture" contained in the Eight-sided Puppet-Suppressing Card has been inherited by him. It is not impossible to give the Eight-sided Puppet-Suppressing Card to Mingyue Driving. However, Giving an eighth-level puppet Taoist weapon containing a powerful weapon spirit to Mingyue for use would probably harm her. She would not be able to fully control it, but might suffer its backlash.

Mingyue is a seventh-level puppet spirit refined by Li Mu using a large amount of high-level spiritual materials and combined with 1,500 divine patterns. Its wisdom and spirituality are extraordinary. Not only is it proficient in combat skills, but it is also skilled in puppet structure and spiritual power control. She has shown amazing talent, and her existence has long transcended the category of ordinary puppets. She is Li Mu's most trusted right-hand assistant, especially in assisting in refining fifth-level and sixth-level puppets.

For a hundred years, Li Mu has been preparing for the coming era of spiritual energy exhaustion and the end of the Dharma. The birth of the puppet Dao Mingyue is one of them.

Li Mu combined the technological civilization of the previous life with the puppetry of this world for unprecedented integration and innovation, raising the puppet refining skills to a new level, combining the power of divine patterns, and integrating intelligent concepts into the puppets, making puppets like Mingyue Spirits can possess more complex and flexible thinking and decision-making abilities.

Under Li Mu's careful design and guidance, Mingyue not only mastered traditional puppet fighting skills, but also learned to use modern scientific and technological means such as data analysis and strategic planning to optimize the combat process and improve combat efficiency. She could quickly analyze the enemy's weaknesses and formulate strategies. The most effective attack plan, and flexibly adjust the strategy during the battle to achieve the greatest victory at the smallest cost.

In addition, Mingyue also showed outstanding abilities in assisting in the refining of high-level puppets. She can accurately control the flow of spiritual power and ensure that each divine pattern is perfectly integrated into the puppet's body, making the refined puppet not only of high quality, but also have more unique performance and characteristics.

The Eight-sided Puppet Suppression Card is an eighth-level Taoist weapon, and the spirit of the weapon is still awakening. It is powerful and dangerous at the same time. It contains not only powerful puppet power, but also the possibility of causing unknown changes.

However, looking at Mingyue's eyes full of expectation and desire, Li Mu's heart couldn't help but soften.

"Master, with it, I can help you refine more puppets and control more puppet armies!" Mingyue seemed to see Li Mu's hesitation, and her eyes flashed with endless enthusiasm and enthusiasm for the Puppet Suppression Card. Eager, she added eagerly: "Moreover, I will work harder to practice and live up to the master's expectations, so that this pair of spiritual cards can exert the greatest value in my hands, and I can use the power of this card to advance as soon as possible." ”

"The weapon has just been fused, and the spirit of the weapon has not yet fully awakened. If you conflict with it, I'm afraid it will hurt you." Li Mu frowned and said worriedly.

Although Ming Yue is strong, she is only a seventh-level puppet spirit. Facing an eighth-level Taoist weapon spirit that has not yet fully awakened, the danger is immeasurable.

"No, Master, it and I are both puppet spirits, and we share the same path. Not only will it not hurt me, but it will help me." There was an undoubted confidence in Mingyue's words, and her bright eyes His eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, and he said seriously: "I will use my puppet heart to sense its pulse, and use my wisdom to guide it, so that it becomes a sharp sword in my hand, not a hidden danger."

Hearing this, Li Mu's eyes flashed slightly and he thought to himself. He knew that although Ming Yue was the spirit of a puppet, her wisdom and spirituality were far beyond ordinary, and she had unique insights and talents in the way of puppets. Perhaps, as Mingyue said, there is indeed some special connection between her and the Eight-sided Puppet Control Card, which can make her more comfortable in controlling this power.

"Since you are so confident, I won't say any more." Li Mu finally relented, nodded, and said: "This eight-sided puppet suppressing tablet is not only an auxiliary Taoist tool, but also the essence of the Puppet Tao. "What I worry about is not that its value is wasted by you, but whether you can truly control it and not let it become a burden to you."

"Master, me!" Mingyue wanted to say something else.

Li Mu waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to say more. Then, he grabbed the eight-sided puppet suppression card and put a trace of his consciousness into it, imprinting a ray of soul into the weapon array just in case.

Li Mu passed the Eight-sided Puppet-Suppressing Tablet to Mingyue and warned, "I will leave this Eight-sided Puppet-Suppressing Tablet to you, but remember, everything must be done according to your ability, and you must not be eager for quick success. If something goes wrong, I will take it back." return."

"Thank you, Master. I will use it with caution."

Mingyue took the eight-sided puppet suppression card with both hands, her eyes flashed with excitement, and she happily thanked her again and again.

After saying that, Mingyue held the Eight-Sided Puppet-Suppressing Tablet tightly with both hands, closed her eyes and concentrated, and couldn't wait to refine the Eight-Sided Puppet-Suppressing Tablet. With the slow injection of spiritual power, the surface of the Eight-Sided Puppet-Suppressing Tablet began to glow with a faint fluorescence, as if it was being After being activated, the ancient spiritual patterns emerge, gradually becoming more vivid, releasing endless power.

Li Mu's mind moved and he discovered something. With a wave of his hand, he put the Mingyue and the Eight-sided Puppet Control Tablet into the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion.

At this moment, Lin Maoshan took small steps and walked respectfully to Li Mu, knelt down and saluted solemnly: "Disciple, pay homage to the master!"

"Well! Get up!" Li Mu smiled and nodded.

Lin Maoshan stood up quickly and was a little nervous when he faced Li Mu's scrutinizing gaze. He had thought about it before, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak.

The master has a peaceful personality and is not too harsh on them. However, they rarely meet each other. Unknowingly, the last time they met was ten years ago.

In the past ten years, Lin Maoshan has been groping alone on the road of cultivation. Although he has made progress, he also knows that he is still far from the master's expectations. At this moment, facing the familiar yet slightly unfamiliar face of Master, I felt mixed emotions in my heart, including the joy of reunion and the shame of not improving my cultivation.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled softly, as if he had read through Lin Maoshan's thoughts, and said with a gentle smile: "Maoshan, there is no need to be nervous. The Qixuan Sect is under your management. You have done a good job. As for the progress of cultivation, the cultivation of the Five Elements is slow. You The cultivation you have achieved today is enough to prove your hard work, and I will not criticize you harshly because I have neglected to teach you."

"Master! Disciple, I am so ashamed." Lin Maoshan bowed quickly, his tone full of humility and gratitude, "Disciple knows that his cultivation is still shallow, and he has many shortcomings in managing the sect. Fortunately, thanks to the concerted efforts of everyone in the sect, In order to maintain the stability of the sect, the disciples truly deserve the praise from the master."

"No need to be polite, I already know your purpose of coming, but I'm afraid I can't satisfy you." Li Mu smiled slightly, looked at Lin Maoshan meaningfully, and said.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Lin Maoshan's face, but he still wanted to say something respectfully.

Li Mu waved his hand, and he summoned a five-color ring weapon. He gestured with a smile: "I'll give this weapon to you. Use this weapon for supplementary training. The effect should not be much worse."

"Master, this..." Lin Maoshan looked at the five-color ring weapon suspended in the air, a trace of shock and disbelief flashed in his eyes. The ring is flowing with colorful light, and each color contains the powerful power of the five elements. It is obviously an extremely precious Taoist weapon.

"This is the 'Five Elements Spiritual Ring'. It is a protective treasure for the teacher. Although it is not a top-notch magic weapon, it can help you gather the power of the five elements and speed up the process of cultivation. Since you have cultivated the five elements together, this ring is the most suitable Your auxiliary thing." Li Mu explained with a smile and encouraged.

Lin Maoshan took the Five Elements Spirit Ring with trembling hands and felt the majestic power of the Five Elements contained in it. He felt extremely excited and grateful in his heart: "Master, I will never forget your great kindness! I will definitely live up to Master's high expectations and work hard." Practice and strive to advance to the next level as soon as possible!”

Li Mu nodded with satisfaction and reminded: "The road to practice is long and arduous. Remember not to rush for quick success. Although it is difficult to cultivate the five elements together, once you achieve it, its power will not be comparable to that of a single attribute. Since you have such determination and talent, you should Only by persevering can you make a breakthrough in the world of spiritual practice.”

"Disciple, please remember Master's teachings!" Lin Maoshan bowed again and carefully put away the Five Elements Spirit Ring.

"Go, the sect still needs you to worry more. If you have any doubts, you can come to me." Li Mu waved his hand, indicating that Lin Maoshan could leave.

"Thank you, Master!" Lin Maoshan bowed to thank Li Mu again, then turned around and left slowly. (End of chapter)
