Chapter 6 Earth Spirit Hoe
Lin Mu slowly returned to Xifeng.
Instead of returning to the courtyard immediately, he went to the Lingchen Hall for lunch.
Food is still essential for practitioners in Qi Refining Stage. But unlike mortals, they do not need to maintain their needs by one meal a day or even one meal a day. If their cultivation reaches the foundation-building stage, they can completely escape from food.
There is no need for spiritual stones to eat in the Lingchen Hall, everything is free. Lin Mu made a meal, so he found a table in the corner, lowered his head and finished it silently.
After eating, Lin Mu slowly returned to the yard.
When he arrived at the quiet room, Lin Mu took out the blue cloth bag again and opened it carefully, and found that there were still twenty-one low-grade spirit stones left inside.
Lin Mu put the cloth bag in his arms and headed straight to Baiwu Pavilion.
It was noon, and there were not many disciples coming and going from Luoxia Peak. Lin Mu did not hesitate and stepped into the Baiwu Pavilion.
As soon as I entered, there were external disciples coming out to greet him, smiling: "Senior Brother, what do you want? Is it a magic weapon or a spiritual medicine?"
Lin Mu stopped the trail and said, "I want to buy some refining materials."
Gu Chen's smile became brighter and brighter: "Senior brother, come with me, I'll take you there."
He sold all kinds of items at the Baiwu Pavilion Gang Sect, and he received commissions. The more things he sold, the more spirit stones he received. But he was not the only disciple who did this errand, and the competition was quite fierce. No wonder he was so enthusiastic about people.
When he entered the store, Lin Mu didn't say much and said straight to the point: "Give me a bronze ingot, a green steel dagger, a fine iron hammer, and a piece of elm pole."
Gu Chen instantly guessed Lin Mu's intention and said with a smile: "Senior brother wants to refine the Earth Spirit Hoe, right? Why bother so much? I have a ready-made one here, which is well-made, so you can be satisfied with it."
Lin Mu shook his head and refused: "I have enough time and refining it myself can increase my personal understanding."
Gu Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll get it for you now."
After a cup of tea, Gu Chen found everything, put it in a cloth bag, placed it on the counter, and looked up and asked Lin Mu, "What else do you need to order?"
Lin Mu pointed to the pile of refining materials and asked, "How many spirit stones do these things need?"
Gu Chen smiled and said, "These materials are very common and very cheap. They only need two low-grade spirit stones."
Lin Mu took out two spirit stones, handed them to Gu Chen, picked up the cloth bag, said goodbye to Gu Chen, and turned around and walked out of the Baiwu Pavilion.
Gu Chen kept delivering it to the door, and before leaving, he smiled and said to Lin Mu, "I'll come to buy things next time I'll find me."
Lin Mu nodded, agreed, and then headed to the West Peak.
On the way back, Lin Mu was full of thoughts in his mind.
No one can match his desire for planting. He decided to make good use of the three acres of spiritual fields in the Xuanyue space.
The most important thing at the moment is to refine the earth spirit hoe first. This is a necessary magic weapon to plant.
Refining the Earth Spirit Hoe is the content of Senior Brother Ling Yun’s lecture today. Lin Mu’s learning to refine it will not arouse suspicion. In fact, he is unknown in the sect and rarely attracts attention. He doesn’t have to be so careful, but he is naturally cautious and dares not make any mistakes.
Back at the quiet room, Lin Mu took out the refining materials from the cloth bag and began to try to refine the earth spirit hoe.
But he did not take action immediately, but carefully recalled the method of refining weapons taught by Senior Brother Ling Yun. After sorting out all the contents in his mind, he was confident and began to refine them.
In fact, the word "refining" is a bit of a high point for the earth spirit hoe. Among all the magic tools, the earth spirit hoe is not included in the grade, and it is not even a low-grade magic weapon. Its function is limited to reclaiming the land and shaking the spiritual energy condensed in the soil to disperse it, so that it can be evenly distributed in the land, which is conducive to the absorption of spiritual herbs and medicines.
This is purely useless for other practitioners and has no great use. But for growers, the Earth Spirit Hoe is crucial and indispensable.
To get a good harvest, you must have a ground hoe. This is a widely circulated sentence among growers.
Lin Mu held a fine iron hammer in his hand and repeatedly beat the bronze ingot, hoping to make it look like a hoe. However, after half an hour of knocking, his arm became sore, but found that the shape of the bronze ingot was not like a hoe, but rather like a funnel.
This time the creation has failed. Lin Mu beat the bronze ingot into its original appearance and rebuild it.
Lin Mu regrouped, learned from the last experience, and started to beat him again, this time, he was even more serious than before.
An hour later, the appearance of a hoe finally took shape. Although it was not very beautiful, the curved curve between the hoe and the hoe body was a bit too large and the lines were not very round, but it could be used together.
Creating the hoe is only the first step. Next, you have to engrave a first-grade formation on it to shake the dry formation. This formation is not too complicated. Lin Mu has already kept its engraving method in mind. What he needs to pay attention to is not to make any mistakes in the engraving process, otherwise everything will be done again and all previous efforts will be wasted.
He held the green steel dagger in his hand and carefully carved the hoe. To prevent mistakes, the lines he carved were not more than half an inch each time. Before the formation was halfway through, sweat was rolling on his forehead.
Lin Mu spent two hours looking at the obscure lines covered with hoe body. Although it was very tortuous, Lin Mu was very satisfied. This was his first weapon refining work, and it was so successful. Of course, success was only compared to him. Those cultivators with high cultivation did not have to set up several powerful formations like him. Compared to Lin Mu, it was a difference between clouds and mud.
The first two steps have been completed successfully. The next step is to place a spirit stone on the hoe. This is simple, but it is quite difficult to do. First, the location of the spirit stone should be chosen at the node of the formation, preferably at the center of the formation, and then dig a small hole at the center, either large or small, which happens to be the size of a spirit stone. During the digging process, you should also be careful not to destroy the already engraved formation.
Lin Mu was cautious and extremely cautious. The green steel dagger picked out the copper chips bit by bit. One hour later, a small hole in four square appeared under the hoe, just enough to plug a spirit stone.
Lin Mu took out a spirit stone from the blue cloth bag and stuffed it into the small holes in all directions. Then he took the elm pole next to it and inserted it into the hoe.
With spiritual power, a faint light flashed, and a brand new earth spirit hoe appeared in front of you!
Lin Mu was delighted and worked hard for a few hours, and finally got the job done.
Lin Mu took the newly refined earth spirit hoe and watched it carefully for a long time. This was his first weapon refining work. In the future, he would rely on it for planting spiritual fields.
As night fell again, Lin Mu stored the earth spirit hoe in the small house in the Xuanyue space, then took the cushion and came to the fish pond again to start practicing the "Blue Water Art".
Under the bright moonlight, Lin Mu repeated the same action over and over again, and a mass of rain poured into the pool.
