Xumi Stone is silvery white in color, has a texture similar to brain folds on its surface, and emits a fishy smell.
Li Mo didn't know where the Sumeru Stone came from, but it was said that the higher the quality, the more the shape of the Sumeru Stone looked like a brain.
The sumeru stone he purchased was relatively inferior, but its price was several times that of ordinary low-grade spiritual materials.
Li Mo was extremely careful when drawing. His spiritual power was wrapped in Sumeru stone powder, and he drew mysterious lines on the iron cage.
First refinement requires precise spiritual power control, which he is good at.
Under the influence of Sumeru Stone, the caged bird's internal space expands to about five cubic meters, and it also has the ability to seal living creatures.
When the caged bird exercise was completed, Li Mo took a long breath.
Because the quality of the magical artifact embryo is so poor, this caged bird may stop at the third refinement, but it is enough for Li Mo.
It is not practical to store large beasts, but there is no problem with rodents or scales. Unfortunately, only medium-grade magic weapons can be stored in the middle Dantian, and caged birds can only be carried with you.
Li Mo put the caged bird aside and then meditated to restore his spiritual power.
The following life became boring and repetitive, consisting entirely of practicing and refining weapons, occasionally interspersed with painting.
Painting is used to stabilize the mood and improve the efficiency of retreat.
Li Mo would only temporarily leave the inn every other month to set up a stall to sell magical artifacts and replenish his depleted resources.
After half a year of seclusion, the spiritual root transformation of the liver has reached more than 30%, and it is steadily moving towards the fourth level of the total horn stage, laying an extremely solid foundation.
Li Mo did not blindly pursue the improvement of his realm.
He understands the significance of the total period, and the accumulated capital will be used for subsequent promotions.
………
The changing seasons are still in the black market, as if it is isolated from the world.
Li Mo was running the heavenly cycle, the spiritual power of haze and mist flowed in the eight extraordinary meridians, and the thick blood galloped through the blood vessels and organs.
At this time, the paper man on the wooden table suddenly came over.
Li Mo paused his practice and opened the paper figurine with a happy face. There were several lines of blood-red text written inside.
When he finished reading, the paper man let out a heart-rending scream and then turned into ashes.
This method used by casual cultivators to convey messages has a very limited range of communication and cannot be reused, which is a bit useless.
However, Li Mo understood from this that what he entrusted had been achieved.
He got up and left the inn, and came to the black market street full of stalls. He could clearly feel that the number of low-level casual cultivators was gradually increasing.
Mainly because of the secret realm of Iron Cauldron, in order to facilitate the sale of spiritual materials, the casual cultivators within the Heart Beast Sect rushed to the black market in unison.
Li Mo's appearance still attracted the attention of some interested people.
He didn't care about it and went straight to the door of a wine shop. Song Liang had been waiting for a long time and couldn't help but relax when he saw Li Mo.
As the head of the Hongxing Escort Bureau, Song Liang had more than a dozen escorts under his command, so he had a lot of demand for low-grade magical artifacts. While Li Mo was setting up a stall, he frequently purchased Jinsha Tu.
After going back and forth, the two of them were already familiar with each other.
Song Liang shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Salamanders are hard to find. If I had known I wouldn't have helped you catch them along the way, I climbed over many mountains in Xinji Ridge before I found them..."
"Thank you, Brother Song."
Li Mo took out a small bag of spirit stones and was about to hand it to Song Liang, but the latter became a little impatient and quickly refused: "No need, it's just a drop-in, how can I cost you money."
"Then I'll treat you to a drink."
Li Mo took the bag and saw that there were more than a dozen dormant salamanders inside. He was overjoyed and pulled Song Liang into the tavern.
He had originally planned to give up drawing tattoos of salamanders and instead use a gecko with its tail reborn, or a turtle.
It may not be as effective as salamanders, but it's easier to find.
Now that Song Liang had gained something, Li Mo did not refuse too much. After all, the salamander was very important to his practice of painting Qingyi, and even the caged bird was refined for this purpose.
The two of them sat down at the wine shop, where the drinks were mixed with spicy, sweet and bitter spices.
Li Mo was not used to drinking, but he still drank a few drinks with Song Liang and talked about the gains of Hongxing Escort Bureau's trip.
"Don't mention it. There are no wild animals at all outside Xinji Ridge. We only found a few hibernating human bears when we went ten miles deep."
"well……"
For the Escort Bureau, going to Xinji Ridge to hunt wild beasts is the safest way to make money, but in the winter, you have to take some chances.
Song Liang got a little excited and started to talk more.
"Did you know that when we returned, we took the official road on the southwest side. We can see Fu'an Town on Fushan Hill..."
"Rongzhen has been dealing with it for so long, but the mountain of meat is still a thousand meters long. At the foot of the mountain, there are piles of bones, all of which are severed limbs from excavations!"
"Troubled times."
Li Mo shook his head. He had been paying attention to Fu'an Town and had asked Jin Li many times. He understood that the situation with polysomydia was not optimistic.
"Even if there are no casualties, Roshan..."
Song Liang was drunk until he was unconscious. It can be seen that passing through Fu'an Town was a shock to him, and the fear in his heart was beyond words.
A strip of cloth extends from Li Mo's desert painting and pierces the back of Song Liang's head.
After a few breaths, Song Liang's alcoholic breath was swallowed up by the desert map. He also woke up in a daze. Li Mo had already walked out of the liquor store.
Li Mo purchased some resources on the black market and returned to the guest room.
He took out the caged bird and began to build an ecological box based on the memories of his previous life to raise the newts and continuously provide animal blood.
The so-called ecological box refers to a closed container that uses temperature and humidity to simulate the natural environment to raise small animals.
Li Mo only has a rough memory.
But he has the spiritual power of haze, and as long as the caged bird is injected with spiritual power from time to time, the inside will become extremely stable, and temperature and humidity control is not a troublesome thing.
It only took Li Mo five days for the caged bird to turn into a small ecological box, with a crystal clear pool in the center and a few water plants floating there.
He put the newt in the cage and sprinkled it with powder.
More than a dozen salamanders woke up immediately because they were afraid of getting into the pool. It was not until Li Mo threw in earthworms that they could eat omnivorous food, and they gradually adapted.
Li Mo didn't stop and started the second refinement on the caged bird.
He is already familiar with weapon refining. There is no possibility of failure in the second refining, but he has not tried the third refining yet.
The iron cage is wrapped with hot lizard bone powder, and light emerges from the bird in the cage.
The second refining is mainly to improve the sturdiness of the magic weapon, and also has the effect of controlling the light to ensure the ecological stability of the axolotls.
Li Mo was very satisfied. After being able to refine a medium-grade magic weapon in the future, he could also put the raising of foxes and tigers on the charter. Kun and whales... let's forget it.
He observed the salamander's condition and drew blood according to its condition.
When Li Mo collected enough blood to draw the tattoo, the axolotl group showed no sign of decline and was still alive and well in the caged bird.
"It's time to fill in the last supporting position."
Li Mo frowned and glanced at the dots of black spots on the surface of his brain. With the blessing of four tattooed beasts, he was somewhat confident about exploring the secret realm of Iron Cauldron. He would wait until he got the blood of the strange beasts.
When he was drawing the tattoo, he was distracted by thinking about the Hunyuan acquired Taoist body.
The more Li Mo studied the Hunyuan Houtian Dao Body, the more he felt that this spell had extraordinary potential, and could even complement the Wuliu Body.
He thought of a trick to get started, and gathered all the required spiritual materials, but he expected that there would be a lot of movement, so he simply hid in the Iron Cauldron Secret Realm and tried to master it.
The newt head took shape in Li Mo's flawless drawing.
