Cultivating the Dao, Starting with Farming

In just a dozen breaths, with the blessing of the eternal dead wood stick, the Bodhi Spirit Flower seemed to have experienced decades or even hundreds of years.

At the beginning, it was just a delicate seedling, with green leaves swaying gently, revealing its vitality. With the blessing of a large amount of Muyi spiritual energy and the power of time, the Bodhi Spirit Flower grew rapidly and became luxuriant.

The vitality of the Bodhi Spirit Flower was fully released in an instant. Its roots penetrated deep into the soil, its leaves gradually expanded, and it became full of green. Soon after, the Bodhi Spirit Flower ushered in an important moment in its life - blooming.

The flowers are holy white, surrounded by spiritual mist, and the petals are gently rolled, exuding a charming luster. Dozens of spiritual flowers bloom instantly, exuding an elegant floral fragrance, which is refreshing.

As the flowers bloom, Bodhi Spirit Flower enters the fruit-bearing period. The fruit initially appears light green, and gradually enlarges and becomes plump, growing into longan-sized fruits.

The color of the fruit is also constantly changing, from light green to dark green, then slightly yellow, and finally turns to golden yellow, exuding a tranquil and sacred atmosphere, which also indicates that the vitality of the Bodhi Spirit Flower is gradually disappearing.

…

Li Mu's eyes widened and he stared at the growth state of the Bodhi Spirit Flower. He continued to output Mu Yi's spiritual power and did not dare to relax for a moment.

At this time, the Bodhi Spirit Flower has completely matured and begun to decline. All the vitality is concentrated in dozens of fruits. The branches and leaves wither at a speed visible to the naked eye, and turn into ashes when the breeze blows.

However, this withering force did not affect the fruits of the Bodhi Spirit Flower. On the contrary, dozens of fruits became fuller, more mature, and exuded a richer fragrance.

The fruits fell and were held by Li Mu's spiritual consciousness. With a little force, one of the fruits was crushed, revealing the pulp and a core. The core was the spiritual seed of the Bodhi Spirit Flower.

After checking, Li Mu confirmed that the spiritual power and medicinal power of the Bodhi Spirit Fruit that was spawned through the Withering Technique was less than one percent of the spiritual power and medicinal power of the Bodhi Spirit Fruit. The core characteristics of the fruit core were generally normal. Can it continue to grow? It’s unknown.

Li Mu carefully inspected the Bodhi Spirit Fruit and obtained 120 Bodhi Spirit Flower seeds.

However, in this Ku Rong experiment, the Mu Yi spiritual power and the power of time consumed by using the Ku Rong technique were more than enough to purchase ten Bodhi Spirit Fruits.

Under normal circumstances, using this secret technique to obtain fruits is not worth the gain, especially for high-level spiritual plants, which require years and special environments to precipitate.

However, Li Mu's purpose is not for the fruits, but for the spiritual seeds. If these spiritual seeds can be planted normally and grow smoothly, the price is still acceptable.

The growth rate of the fifth-level Bodhi spirit flower is too slow, and it consumes additional vitality of the fifth-level Bodhi tree. Continuing to use the withering technique on its spiritual seed consumes too much.

In order to verify whether the spiritual plants obtained using the Withered Rong Technique could grow normally, Li Mu took out several second-level spiritual seeds of Tianfeng Grass, planted them in the spiritual field, and continued to use the Eternal Dead Wood Stick for catalysis.

The growth requirements of the second-level Tianfeng grass are not that high, and the use of the withering technique consumes much less.

Soon, under the powerful Muyi spiritual energy and the power of time, a magical scene happened again, and green peaks broke out of the ground and grew rapidly.

…

After a hundred breaths, several Tianfeng grass plants turned from flourishing to decline and quickly withered. Li Mu obtained thousands of second-level Tianfeng grass spiritual seeds.

Next, Li Mu began to process these Tianfeng grass spiritual seeds, leaving part of the Tianfeng grass spiritual seeds in preparation for normal planting. These spiritual seeds are the product of ripening, and their vitality still exists, as long as they are given enough With the nutrients and spiritual energy, it can continue to grow, if the experiment goes well.

From now on, as long as he obtains the spiritual plant, Li Mu will no longer have to worry about the spiritual plant.

Li Mu decided to continue using the Withering Technique to catalyze the other part of the Tianfeng grass spiritual seeds. He wanted to see if these spiritual seeds could continue to grow after they had withered.

If the growth of these spiritual seeds can be successfully catalyzed, it will be another great gain for Li Mu.

Li Mu plans to control the growth period of these Tianfeng grass spiritual seeds, accelerate them to the maturity stage, and confirm whether these spiritual plants can absorb the spiritual light group when they mature.

If you can successfully absorb the spiritual plant light group, you can use this technique in the future to predict the spiritual plant attributes of each spiritual plant in advance, eliminating the need for lengthy breeding and training.

In order to achieve this goal, Li Mu spent a lot of wood Yi spiritual power and the power of time to start stimulating the growth of Tianfeng grass spiritual seeds. At the same time, he also had to control their state to maintain them in the mature stage without completely withered.

Once, twice,….

Li Mu conducted dozens of ripening experiments on Tianfeng Lingcao, and finally succeeded in mastering the approximate consumption of each second-order Tianfeng Lingcao to the mature stage of Mu Yi's spiritual power and the power of time.

However, when Li Mu cut off a mature Tianfeng grass and extracted the spiritual plant, no plant spiritual light group was found in the cut part of the plant.

This made Li Mu feel very disappointed and confused, and he began to think about what the problem was. Was it that the quality of the spiritual seeds was not high enough, or was it that this ripening method could not obtain the spiritual light group? Or maybe the scale of Tianfengcao is not enough, maybe there are more varieties, maybe we can get the spiritual light group?

Li Mu was unwilling and decided to conduct the experiment again.

This time, Li Mu ripened hundreds of Tianfeng grasses at once and planted a small piece of spiritual field. Soon, a small patch of Tianfeng grass grew rapidly.

Li Mu raised his hand and waved lightly, golden light passed by, and hundreds of mature Tianfeng grass were cut off by their roots.

More than a dozen green light groups floated into the air. Li Mu was refreshed and quickly stretched out his hand to absorb all the dozens of small light groups into his body.

Li Mu couldn't wait to look at the log column on the panel.

[Talent Magical Power - Planting Spirit Absorption takes effect, you absorb a group of Planting Spirits, free proficiency points +0.1]

[Talent Magical Power - Planting Spirit Absorption takes effect, you absorb a group of Planting Spirits, free proficiency points +0.2]

[Talent Magical Power - Planting Spirit Absorption takes effect, you absorb a group of Planting Spirits, free proficiency points +0.1]

…

Looking at the dozens of proficient harvest tips in the log column, Li Mu was slightly startled and surprised.

Very good! The spiritual plants ripened by the art of withering and glory can also obtain the spiritual plant light group, but the attributes and probability of obtaining them have become much lower. Compared with the huge consumption of Mu Yi spiritual power and the power of time, this gain is Not worth mentioning.

Despite this, Li Mu was still very excited. He had always hoped to ripen the spiritual plants through the art of dry glory, so as to obtain more spiritual plant light groups. Now this wish has finally come true.

Although the spiritual plants ripened by the art of withering glory can obtain the spiritual plant light group, the attributes and probability of obtaining them have become much lower. This made Li Mu feel a little disappointed. However, in this way, the spiritual properties of high-level spiritual plants can be verified, and there is no need to spend a lot of energy and time cultivating seedlings of other spiritual plants in the future.

Li Mu looked at the thousands and hundreds of fifth- and sixth-level spiritual plant seedlings planted in the 'experimental field', and his heart skipped a beat, preparing for a bigger experiment.

Li Mu lowered his head and glanced at a dozen fifth-level Bodhi Spirit Flower seedlings, and decided to start the experiment with the Bodhi Spirit Flower first. This time, Quasi-Jing accelerated a Bodhi Spirit Flower to the mature stage and obtained its plant spirit light group.

Li Mu took a deep breath, held the eternal dead wood stick, and activated Mu Yi's spiritual power and the power of time to ripen one of the Bodhi Spirit Flowers.

Li Mu concentrated on controlling the output of spiritual power to ensure that the Bodhi Spirit Flower was only ripened to the mature stage.

Soon, under Li Mu's urging, the Bodhi Spirit Flowers began to grow rapidly. The leaves became greener, the branches and leaves continued to extend, and the flower buds began to bloom.

A golden light suddenly bloomed, and at the moment when the Bodhi Spirit Flower entered its fruiting stage and was about to wither and wither, Li Mu instantly cast a spell to cut it off.

At the moment when the Bodhi Spirit Flower broke, a ball of yellow spiritual light appeared at the broken part of the Bodhi Spirit Flower.

Li Mu was ecstatic when he saw this scene. He immediately stretched out his hand, held the yellow aura in his palm, and looked at the attribute panel impatiently.

[Innate magical power - Planting spirit absorption takes effect, you absorb a group of planting spirits, and the enlightenment value +3.7,]

A text prompt popped up in the log column, and Li Mu felt his consciousness clear and his spirits slightly lifted.

Seeing this result, Li Mu was pleasantly surprised. He did not expect that the attribute of the Bodhi Spirit Flower's spiritual light group was to increase the enlightenment value.

This is an unexpected big gain for Li Mu. Enlightenment is the foundation for practitioners to practice Taoism. The stronger the ability to understand the Tao, the deeper the understanding of the Tao Principles. It is related to the power of the Tao Principles. The farther the road can be walked in the future. An important factor in improving the realm of cultivation, it is also an important indicator to measure a practitioner's potential.

The enlightenment value of this spiritual light group has increased by 3.7 points. If the spiritual light group of the Bodhi Spirit Flower is obtained through normal planting, the increased attribute of the spiritual plant can be increased by dozens or more than a hundred times.

The fifth-level spiritual plant, Bodhi Spirit Flower, has been included in the list of large-scale planting by Li Mu.

However, in addition to spiritual power requirements, spiritual plants like the Bodhi Spirit Flower also have special environmental requirements. To plant a large number of Bodhi Spirit Flowers, you need to obtain a large amount of fifth-level Bodhi trees. It is best to transplant them into a Bodhi tree forest.

However, Li Mu couldn't help but feel dizzy when he thought about the growth environment required by the Bodhi Spirit Tree.

The growth environment of the fifth-level Bodhi tree requires a small amount of fifth-level Sixiangwu soil, and it also needs to be irrigated with fourth-level Tianyi Zhen water from time to time. In order to transplant this Bodhi tree, Li Mu waited for a long time before Wanbao Pavilion got it. .

If you want to transplant a large number of fifth-level Bodhi trees, you need to invest a lot of money and energy to collect these spiritual trees.

Li Mu sighed, and continued with this matter, and continued to experiment with the seedlings of other high-level spiritual plants.

…

Time flies, and half a month passes in the blink of an eye.

Li Mu came out of the Painting World Treasure Mansion and immediately flew to the spiritual field.

Li Mu used the wind and rain technique with his hand, and an invisible force flowed out from his fingers, turning into a continuous drizzle and spreading over the two thousand acres of spiritual fields.

Large, dense raindrops fell on two thousand acres of purple jade ginseng seedlings and Yinpo fruit seedlings.

Looking at the Purple Jade Ginseng and Yinpoguo seedlings growing well, with green buds and full of vitality, Li Mu's depression suddenly disappeared a lot.

Each of these spiritual plant seedlings is entrusted with Li Mu's hard work and expectations. When these spiritual plants mature and their spiritual light groups are harvested, it will be the day when he will advance to become a god.

Li Mu was full of expectations, carefully observing the growth of each seedling, and adjusting the yin and yang environment and spiritual energy concentration of the Lingtian from time to time to ensure that they could grow in the best condition.

…

After spending more than an hour cultivating two thousand acres of spiritual land, Li Mu flew back to the cave on Crescent Island.

Xue'er saw Li Mu's figure and opened her mouth to say hello, but when her eyes fell on his face, she keenly sensed that something was wrong with Mr. Li's mood at this time.

Since Xue'er activated the Tianhu bloodline, her perception of emotions has become extremely keen. This is also considered a gift of the Xuehu clan. She can accurately sense the other person's emotional changes by observing the other person's expression, movements and tone of voice.

Seeing Li Mu's expression, which was filled with incomprehensible sorrow, Xueer couldn't help but feel worried.

Mr. Li has always been a very calm and calm person, and rarely loses control of his emotions. However, today, something was obviously wrong with his mood, and his whole person seemed to be shrouded in a haze.

Xue'er felt uneasy in her heart. She didn't know what difficulties Li Mu had encountered, but she could feel his fatigue and pressure.

Xue'er wanted to step forward and ask, but was afraid of being disturbed. So, Xue'er stood there, silently observing Li Mu's every move.

"What's wrong?" Faced with Xue'er's abnormal behavior, Li Mu didn't know why and gave Xue'er a strange look.

"Mr. Li, what happened? Why do you look so worried? Is there anything unhappy?" Xue'er asked quickly with concern.

Li Mu raised his head and glanced at Xue'er, then responded casually: "Nothing, it's just a matter of refining the weapon, some spiritual materials are difficult to handle!"

"Hmph! Master Li, why don't you tell me something? You are lying to me again, people care about you so much!" After hearing Li Mu's perfunctory answer, Xueer snorted angrily, stepped forward and took Li Mu's arm, acting like a baby. asked.

"I'm not lying to you. In addition to weapon refining, there are also auxiliary spiritual materials for growing high-level spiritual plants. Most of them are difficult to get! I'm so worried!" Li Mu smiled bitterly and explained truthfully.

During this experiment of the Withering Art, Li Mu learned a lot about the spiritual properties of fifth-level and sixth-level spiritual plants, such as the sixth-level spiritual plant that increases longevity - Yanyuan Spirit Grass, and the sixth-level spiritual plant that increases the source of stars - Mou Xing Spirit Grass , which increases the strength of the soul - Netherworld Guizhi,...,

However, the auxiliary spiritual materials needed to plant these high-level spiritual plants on a large scale, various complex and magical spiritual materials, and special growth environments are not something he can easily raise alone.

Xueer sensed that there was nothing wrong with Li Mu's emotion in his answer this time, and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this is indeed the problem Mr. Li encountered.

Xueer couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and comforted with a smile: "Master Li, if it's not easy to do, just do it slowly. You are so powerful, you will be able to raise it all one day."

Li Mu glanced at Xue'er, and then sighed helplessly, looking like he couldn't explain.

"If it doesn't work, ask Sister Ji for help. She should be happy to help you." Seeing Li Mu's frustrated and unmotivated look, Xue'er couldn't help but feel amused and quickly suggested.

Li Mu nodded with a wry smile. In addition to looking for Ji Hanyan, he also wanted to visit the local market. (End of chapter)
