Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

After putting away the treasure house of the painting world, Li Mu took a deep breath and instantly performed the Five Elements Escape Technique, followed by the Sky-Splitting Technique. His figure shuttled through the space like a phantom, flashing and flying, and disappeared on the spot, quietly returning to the depths of the Yin-Yang Valley.

As we all know, thunder tribulation is the power of heaven and earth, with great momentum. Whenever it comes, it always attracts a group of greedy "vultures" - those monks who are looking for opportunities and trying to plunder treasures.

Not long after Li Mu's figure disappeared, several figures appeared in the same place like ghosts.

"Huh? What about people?"

A burly middle-aged man wearing black armor and with a resolute face looked at the empty space with a hint of doubt. His eyes flashed with a gleam that seemed to be able to see through the void, but at this moment he could not catch any trace of Li Mu.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, what a coincidence!" An elegant monk appeared, looked at the black-armored monk and greeted him with a smile, but a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph! The ghost is still lingering!" Qiu Tianming snorted coldly. There was some unknown grudge between him and the elegant monk. He looked around for something.

"No need to look for him. He has long gone. This is not an ordinary thunder tribulation. The aura of the pill tribulation is strong. Someone must have refined a seventh-level Dao Pill and successfully survived the pill tribulation."

At this time, an old man in a black robe with a sinister face showed up. In his hand was a cane as black as ink. The top of the cane was inlaid with a gem that was shining with a faint green light, giving people a weird and dangerous feeling.

"It's actually a pill tribulation, Ancestor Wuyou, can you tell what kind of pill this is?"

A petite woman in a blue palace skirt then revealed her figure, staring straight at the old man in black robe, and asked in a thorough manner, with undisguised greed in her voice.

Hearing what Patriarch Wuyou said, the black-armored monk and the elegant man in green clothes all showed greed in their eyes.

Ancestor Wuyou's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he shook his head slightly and said, "This pill calamity is so powerful and has a unique aura. I can't be sure what kind of pill it is. However, the pill that can cause such a pill calamity is definitely not an ordinary thing, and it must have a heaven-defying effect."

"Hehe, Ancestor Wuyou, you are also an alchemist. Based on the fragrance of the elixir, you should be able to guess something, right?" Qiu Tianming asked with a hint of provocation.

"Fellow Daoist Wuyou, this is where you are wrong," the green-robed Confucian cultivator smiled at Patriarch Wuyou and interrupted, "We are discussing this just to get more information so that we can better deal with the situation that follows. If you want to take the pill for yourself, we will not sit idly by."

As soon as the green-robed Confucian cultivator finished speaking, the blue-skirted female cultivator and the black-armored cultivator all looked at Ancestor Wuyou with hostility, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Sensing the hostility of the crowd, Patriarch Wuyou looked at the blue-clothed Confucian cultivator with a hint of murderous intent, and angrily shouted: "Fellow Daoist Qin, stop trying to sow discord. There are thousands of elixirs in the world, and I haven't seen many of the seventh-level Daodan. If you don't know, then don't know. If you want to grab this elixir, go ahead. Why blame me?"

Ancestor Wuyou's angry rebuke echoed in the empty space, making the already tense atmosphere even more tense.

The Confucian cultivator in green smiled slightly, seemingly not caring about the anger of the Wuyou Patriarch. He waved his folding fan and said calmly, "Daoyou, you are too kind. We just want to know more about the situation so that we can be more confident in the fight. Since you don't know the origin of this pill, Qin will not force you."

The green-clothed Confucian cultivator changed the subject and looked at the three people and asked, "This person has extremely high body skills and is extremely skilled in stealth. If you have any clues, why don't you share them with us and work together to track him down? How about distributing the Dao Pills after we get them?"

"That's right. If you have any clues, please share them with us! I'll go first." The blue-skirted female cultivator nodded in agreement. The next moment, she took out a talisman from her storage ring and introduced it: "This is a fifth-level tracking and revealing talisman. It can show the traces of the spell caster left behind several hours ago."

"Although this talisman cannot directly help us find the hiding place of the mysterious monk, it can point out a general direction." The female cultivator in blue skirt explained as she sacrificed the talisman.

Soon, rays of spiritual light gathered together, revealing traces of spiritual energy left over from the spells cast within a radius of several miles.

The four of them glanced over and all showed unsightly expressions. Under the effect of the tracking and revealing talisman, they did find signs of the Five Elements Escape Technique being cast. However, the person cast the spell at a very long distance and disappeared directly, making it impossible to track his general direction through the talisman.

"What a wonderful Five Elements Escape Technique. Fellow Daoists, I have tried my best. The distance of the Five Elements Escape Technique performed by this person is far beyond the positioning range of the Tracking Manifestation Talisman. We cannot get the general direction of his departure." The female cultivator in the blue skirt looked at the three people and gestured, "It depends on your methods."

"Fairy Ling, don't worry. Although this person's Five Elements Escape Technique is strong, there are countless techniques in the world, and there may be ways to track him." The blue-clothed Confucian Daoist Qin smiled slightly, with a hint of confidence in his eyes. He flicked his sleeves and slipped out an ancient jade slip, saying, "I have a technique called 'Qian Kun Positioning Technique', which locates the position of the caster based on the fluctuations of the spiritual energy between heaven and earth."

As he spoke, the green-robed Confucian cultivator gently tossed the jade slip up, quickly formed seals with his hands, and muttered something. As his incantation fell, a faint golden light emanated from the jade slip.

When everyone saw this scene, they were all cheered up and watched the green-robed Confucian cultivator cast a spell.

After a moment, the golden light dissipated, and a blurry map with a concentrated spiritual light appeared on the jade slip. A golden light flickered on the map, and then, encountering some resistance, it no longer appeared, and the golden light dimmed.

The confident and calm expression on the green-robed Confucian cultivator's face quickly froze.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, what's going on?" The blue-skirted female cultivator looked at the frozen expression on the face of the green-robed Confucian cultivator, Fellow Daoist Qin, and couldn't help but ask.

Fellow Daoist Qin frowned and said in a deep voice, "This person is indeed not a simple person. My 'Qian Kun Positioning Technique' was also hindered. The location where the golden light was jumping should be the approximate range where he cast the spell and left, but it seems that some force is interfering with my spell, making it impossible to accurately locate it. During this time, he also performed some kind of body movement magic power."

"What means of tracking do you two have? Use them quickly! Fairy Ling and I have already tried our best. If we don't take action now, he will run far away and we will catch up with him even if we want to." The green-clothed Confucian cultivator looked at Qiu Tianming and said to Patriarch Wuyou.

A trace of solemnity flashed across the eyes of Patriarch Wuyou, and he nodded and said, "I have a Dan Gu, which feeds on the fragrance of Dan. I should be able to use it to track the whereabouts of the seventh-level Dao Dan."

As soon as he finished speaking, Patriarch Wuyou took out a small jade cup from his arms. The cup was engraved with complicated runes and emitted a faint elixir fragrance. A green poisonous insect crawled out of the cup.

"This Gu is called 'Soul Seeking Gu'. I found it in a secret place many years ago. It has the ability to track a distance of a thousand miles. It will definitely be able to track the whereabouts of the seventh-level Dao Pill." Elder Wuyou explained, while pinching his fingers to release the 'Fragrance Seeking Gu', letting it smell the seventh-level pill fragrance left nearby and track the direction in which the pill energy spread.

Watching the Wuyou Patriarch manipulating the 'Searching Fragrance Gu', the three of them were both excited and secretly alert. The Wuyou Patriarch was good at refining pills, and he must be able to refine some colorless and odorless pill fragrances. This tracking technique was really amazing. The 'Searching Fragrance Gu' was seen hovering in the air, its tiny body trembling constantly, as if it smelled the scent of the seventh-level pill fragrance around it, it became restless and excited, and was obviously stimulated by the scent of the seventh-level pill fragrance.

However, the 'Fragrance-Seeking Gu' was like a headless fly, flying around in all directions, unable to perform the ability to smell the scent and track the shadow as described by the Old Ancestor Wuyou.

"Fellow Daoist Wuyou, what's going on? What happened to your 'Xunxiang Gu'?" Qiu Tianming looked at the 'Xunxiang Gu' flying around in the air, frowned, and asked impatiently.

"Fellow Daoist Wuyou, has that person escaped from the tracking range of the 'Fragrance Seeking Gu'?" The green-clothed Confucian cultivator frowned and asked with concern.

“That’s not right! Even if he escaped from the tracking range of the ‘Fragrance-Seeking Gu’, there would be some elixir fragrance left, and the ‘Fragrance-Seeking Gu’ would definitely be able to smell it. Besides, that seventh-level Taoist elixir broke through the void and did not remain in this world. Otherwise, how could he escape from the tracking of the ‘Fragrance-Seeking Gu’?” Ancestor Wuyou frowned, staring at the “Fragrance-Seeking Gu” flying around in the air, and murmured in confusion.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, if you have any tricks, use them immediately!" The green-clothed Confucian cultivator looked at the black-armored cultivator and urged.

"I am good at fighting, but not at tracking." Qiu Tianming shook his head and said unhappily, "You three are so good at tracking, but you can't find out the whereabouts of this person. Qiu is powerless."

"You," the blue-clothed Confucian cultivator was speechless after being confronted by him.

However, this was indeed the case. The three of them used all their methods together and thought they could capture the mysterious monk, but they still let him escape.

Ancestor Wuyou, the green-clothed Confucian cultivator, and the blue-skirted female cultivator Fairy Ling looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that this opponent was by no means an ordinary person.

"It seems that we have underestimated this person's strength." Ancestor Wuyou said in a deep voice, "This person's five elements escape technique and concealment methods are extremely advanced. All of our tracking methods have been resolved by him one by one."

"Indeed!" The green-clothed Confucian cultivator nodded, looked at Patriarch Wuyou and asked, "There aren't many alchemy masters in the Southern Wilderness Spirit Realm. Daoist Wuyou, do you know any alchemy master who can refine this seventh-level Dao Pill?"

"Although I am an alchemist, the way of alchemy is broad and profound. The Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm is even more vast and boundless, and there are countless hidden dragons and crouching tigers." Ancestor Wuyou shook his head and said, "Although I have heard of the names of some alchemy masters, I don't know whether they can refine the seventh-level Dao Dan. What's more, the way of alchemy is not just about cultivation. Whether you can refine a Dao Dan depends more on talent, opportunity, and understanding of the way of alchemy."

"In that case, it will be even more difficult for us to find this person." The female cultivator in blue skirt sighed softly, with a look of regret between her brows.

"Forget it! A master alchemist who can refine seventh-level Taoist elixirs is not someone you can easily mess with. Let's just leave it at that. Fellow Taoists, I, Qiu, will take my leave first." Qiu Tianming frowned and made a decisive decision.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Tianming left without hesitation, while the other three, the old man Wuyou, the Confucian cultivator in green, and the female cultivator in blue skirt, looked at each other and left one after another.

Just as Qiu Tianming said, the mysterious cultivator who possessed the seventh-level Dao Dan performed the Five Elements Escape Technique, his body movement skills, and his means of restraining Dan Qi far exceeded their imagination. The three of them then followed him and left.

At this moment, in the Yin Yang Valley, Li Mu had no idea that his caution had avoided a potential crisis.

After returning to Yin Yang Valley, Li Mu did not stop for a moment, but immediately activated the valley protection formation to ensure the safety of the valley. Then he plunged into the Painting World Treasure House to check the Guixu Pill that had successfully survived the pill tribulation.

Inside the treasure house of the painting world, the fragrance of elixir fills the air, refreshing the heart and mind.

Li Mu stared at the Guixu Pill in front of him that had successfully survived the pill tribulation. He saw it flashing with a faint light, and the pill spirit appeared, like a newborn baby, looking at the world curiously, like a headless fly, running around in the Baofu world, looking for an exit.

However, how could it escape so easily in this treasure house? Li Mu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and the Dan Ling of Guixu Dan drilled into the Dan in fear and flew into his palm obediently.

Feeling the tremendous medicinal power contained in the Guixu Pill, Li Mu's face was filled with joy and satisfaction. Under his innate magical power - identifying all spirits, the properties of the Guixu Pill were clearly presented before his eyes.

【Guixu Lingdan】

[Rank: Seventh-grade high-quality Daodan]

[Features: Return to the Void and melt the spirit, concentrate the mind and transform the domain, restrain the medicine spirit, enlighten the mind, and strengthen the mind. ]

[Status: The body of the elixir is like colored glaze, it contains the elixir principle, and has excellent effects. ]

[The seventh-level Dao Dan is made from the 10,000-year-old Jiuxu Lingzhi, Ningshen Yuanguo, Huaxu Lingsui, Zijin Linghua, Tianchen Lingcao, and many other spiritual medicines. This pill successfully survived the pill disaster and contains the Dao principles of melting the void and transforming the domain. It also has the effects of enlightening the mind, expanding the consciousness, and protecting the soul. It helps cultivators comprehend the great Dao of returning to the void and melting, and break through the bottleneck of cultivation.]

After reading the properties of Guixu Pill, Li Mu's face showed an ecstasy that was hard to conceal, and his eyes flashed with excitement, as if he saw the dawn of his cultivation breaking through the Lianxu realm.

The quality of this Guixu Pill is so outstanding that relying on its medicinal effect, after the seven fifth-order spiritual plants are harvested and advanced to the Lianxu realm, the next most important step can be carried out - refining the clone at the same time.

The difficulty of refining seven incarnations of the God at the same time is far beyond the imagination of ordinary cultivators.

The Spiritual Avatar is a clone with independent consciousness that is formed by the cultivators in the Void Refining Realm combining their own cultivation with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Each Spiritual Avatar is like the cultivator's original body, with independent cultivation and magical powers, but the process of cultivation and condensation is full of difficulties.

It takes a lot of effort and resources for ordinary Void Refining cultivators to refine a Spiritual Transformation Avatar. But Li Mu's challenge is to refine seven Spiritual Transformation Avatars at the same time, and the difficulty and risk involved are exponentially higher.

Whether one can completely refine the seven incarnations of the spirit and condense the Dao principles and domains of the Void Transformation Realm depends on it.

Li Mu solemnly summoned a pill bottle, put away the Guixu Lingdan, and stored it in the storage compartment, his heart filled with longing and expectation for the future. (End of this chapter)
