Chapter 6 Earth Spirit Hoe

Lin Mu returned to the West Peak slowly.

He did not return to the courtyard immediately, but went to the Spiritual Food Hall to have lunch.

Food is still indispensable for Qi Refining cultivators. But unlike ordinary people, they do not need to eat so frequently. One meal a day, or even one meal every two days, can maintain their needs. If they have reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, they can completely get rid of food.

Eating in the Spiritual Food Hall does not require spiritual stones, everything is free. Lin Mu ordered a meal, found a table in the corner, and ate silently with his head down.

After eating, Lin Mu slowly returned to the courtyard.

Arriving at the quiet room, Lin Mu took out the green cloth bag again, opened it carefully, and found that there were still twenty-one low-grade spiritual stones left in it.

Lin Mu put the cloth bag in his arms and went straight to the Hundred Things 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 Hundred Things Pavilion.

As soon as he entered, an outer disciple came out to greet him with a smile on his face: "Brother, what do you want? Is it a magic weapon or a spiritual medicine?"

Lin Mu stopped and said: "I want to buy some refining materials."

Gu Chen's smile became brighter: "Brother, come with me, I'll take you there."

He helped the sect sell various items in the Baiwu Pavilion, and all he got was commission. The more things he sold, the more spiritual stones he got. But he was not the only disciple doing this job, and the competition was quite fierce. No wonder he was so enthusiastic about people.

After entering the store, Lin Mu said without much talk, "Give me a bronze ingot, a blue 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: "Brother, you want to refine the earth spirit hoe? Why bother so much? I have a ready-made one here, with excellent workmanship, and I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Lin Mu shook his head and refused: "I have plenty of time. Refining it myself can increase some personal understanding."

Gu Chen smiled and said: "Okay, I'll get it for you right away."

In a cup of tea, Gu Chen gathered all the things, put them in a cloth bag, put them on the counter, looked up and asked Lin Mu: "What else do you need?"

Lin Mu pointed to the pile of refining materials and asked: "How many spirit stones do these things require."

Gu Chen smiled and said: "These materials are very common and very cheap. Only two low-grade spirit stones are needed."

Lin Mu took out two spirit stones, handed them to Gu Chen, picked up the cloth bag, said goodbye to Gu Chen, and turned to walk out of the Baiwu Pavilion.

Gu Chen accompanied him to the door, and before he left, he smiled and said to Lin Mu: "Next time you come here to buy something, come find me again."

Lin Mu nodded, as if he agreed, and then headed towards the West Peak.

On the way back, Lin Mu's mind was full of thoughts.

No one could 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 was to refine the Earth Spirit Hoe first. This is a necessary magical tool for planting.

Refining the Earth Spirit Hoe was the content of Senior Brother Ling Yun's lecture today. Lin Mu's learning to refine it would not arouse suspicion. In fact, he was unknown in the sect and rarely attracted attention. He didn't need to be so cautious, but he was naturally cautious and didn't dare to make the slightest mistake.

Back in the quiet room, Lin Mu took out the refining materials in the cloth bag and began to try to refine the Earth Spirit Hoe.

But he didn't start immediately, but first carefully recalled the refining method taught by Senior Brother Ling Yun. After sorting out all the contents in his mind, he was confident and began to refine.

In fact, the word "refining" is a bit too high for the Earth Spirit Hoe. Among all the magic tools, the Earth Spirit Hoe is not even a low-grade magic tool. Its function is limited to turning over the land and shaking off the spiritual energy condensed in the soil, so that it is evenly distributed in the land, which is conducive to the absorption of spiritual herbs and medicines.

For other cultivators, this is purely useless. But for planters, the Earth Spirit Hoe is crucial and indispensable.

If you want a good harvest, you must have an Earth Spirit Hoe. This is a widely circulated saying among planters.

Lin Mu held the fine iron hammer in his hand and repeatedly hit the bronze ingot, hoping to make it look like a hoe, but after hitting it for half an hour, his arm was sore, and he found that the shape of the bronze ingot was not like a hoe, but like a funnel.

This time the forging had failed, Lin Mu beat the bronze ingot into the shape of the beginning and forged it again.

Lin Mu regrouped, learned from the last experience, and hit it again, this time, more seriously than before.

An hour later, the shape of a hoe finally took shape. Although it was not very beautiful, the curvature between the hoe and the hoe body was a bit too large, and the lines were not very round, but it was usable.

Making the hoe was only the first step. Next, he had to engrave the first-grade Zhengan formation on it. This formation was not too complicated. Lin Mu had memorized its engraving method. What he had to pay attention to was not to make mistakes during the engraving process, otherwise he would have to start all over again and all his previous efforts would be wasted.

He held the Qinggang dagger in his hand and carefully engraved on the hoe body. To prevent mistakes, he engraved no more than half an inch each time. He had not engraved half of the formation, but sweat was already rolling on his forehead.

It took Lin Mu two hours to make a simple Zhengan formation. Looking at the obscure lines covering the hoe, although it was very tortuous, Lin Mu was very satisfied. This was his first refining work, and it was so successful. Of course, success was only relative to himself. Those cultivators with high cultivation did not have to be like him, who could easily lay down several powerful formations with a wave of their hands. Compared with Lin Mu, it was a world of difference.

The first two steps were successfully completed. The next step was to place a spiritual stone on the hoe. This was simple to say, but it was quite difficult to do. The first thing was the location of the spiritual stone. It should be selected at the node of the formation, preferably at the central position of the formation. Then a small hole should be dug at the central position, which should be neither too big nor too small, just the size of the spiritual stone. In the process of digging the hole, care should be taken not to damage the already engraved formation.

Lin Mu was very careful and cautious. He picked out the copper scraps bit by bit with the green steel dagger. After an hour, a square hole appeared on the lower side of the hoe, just enough to fit a spiritual stone.

Lin Mu took out a spiritual stone from the green cloth bag and inserted it into the small square hole. Then he took the elm pole next to it and inserted it into the hoe.

With a push of spiritual power, a faint light flashed, and a brand new earth spiritual hoe appeared before his eyes!

Lin Mu was delighted. After working hard for several hours, he finally succeeded.
