I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm-Chapter 291 - 192: Nine-leaf Cyan Lotus (2)

Li Mu appeared amiable, gently rubbing the Red Wolf’s head and playing with them for a while.

After feeding them some Spirit Pills, Li Mu stored them in the Spirit-Taming Treasure Bracelet and casually dispelled the Protective Array in the courtyard.

Li Mu left his residence, preparing to go out and have a look around.

At this moment, a Golden Core Cultivator riding a cloud disc came up to Li Mu, flying directly in front of him, bowing respectfully and saying, "Lord True Monarch, I apologize, but travelers cannot walk around freely within the sect. Where are you headed?"

"I can’t go out?"

Blocked from moving around, Li Mu was not angry, understanding the need to follow the local rules.

"Senior, you can go out, of course, but when you return to your residence, you will have to go through several layers of questioning. It’s quite troublesome, I hope you’ll understand!"

Li Mu furrowed his brows at the words of the Golden Core Cultivator.

"Do you know how far the Star Gazing Sea is from this city?" Li Mu nodded and asked the person.

"Senior, the Star Gazing Sea is about twelve thousand miles from this city. You cannot reach it directly via a Teleportation Array, you must fly there. With your cultivation, it would take about half a month!" The Golden Core Cultivator replied respectfully to Li Mu.

Li Mu furrowed his brows again, thinking that a half-month flight to reach the Star Gazing Sea wasn’t too time-consuming. Should he make a trip?

Using the Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship could save seven or eight days.

After weighing his options, Li Mu immediately decided to alter his journey for that Tier Six Water-type Flood Dragon.

"Do you have a map?" To avoid taking a wrong route, Li Mu asked while looking at the person.

"Senior, yes, I happen to have a map with the route to the Star Gazing Sea. However, recently, it hasn’t been peaceful around the Star Gazing Sea. It’s said that it’s become quite dangerous, and many seniors are afraid to go back to the sea." The Golden Core Cultivator quickly responded.

"Afraid to go back to the sea? What’s going on?" Li Mu’s curiosity was piqued, and he asked inquisitively.

"I’m really sorry, Senior. I only heard bits and pieces from colleagues who returned from there. I didn’t ask for specific details, but it’s just a bit unstable over there. Senior, this jade scroll records the route to the Star Gazing Sea." The Golden Core Cultivator explained briefly and took out a jade scroll from their Storage Bracelet to give to Li Mu.

Receiving the jade scroll, Li Mu casually took out a dozen Top-Grade Spirit Stones and rewarded the person as thanks for the map.

This delighted the other party, who bowed repeatedly to thank Li Mu.

"By the way, I originally planned to go to the Desolate Ancient City and need to use the Teleportation Array in ten days. But I have a temporary business; I might miss the trip. Will my chance to use the Teleportation Array expire?" Li Mu looked at the person, asking with concern.

To use the Teleportation Array, Li Mu had paid nearly four thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones in advance, and if it went wasted, it would be too costly!

Received Li Mu’s reward, the Golden Core Cultivator was quite affable and patiently explained: "Do not worry, Senior! Since you’ve paid for the full fare, you won’t need to pay again. The Teleportation Array opens once a month. If you miss it this time, just come back with the Passenger Order next month to use it."

Hearing this, Li Mu was delighted, now unconcerned, and no longer delayed. He summoned the Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship, ascended, and headed towards the direction of the Star Gazing Sea, disappearing as a streak of flowing light.

Inside the Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship, Li Mu was multitasking, steering the Innate Spiritual Ship while using his Divine Sense to monitor the safety ahead. At the same time, he called upon the Purple Gold Fire Phoenix, condensed the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace, and extracted various high-tier refining materials from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, like the Tier Five Black Extinction Spirit Vine, Tier Five Snow Dusk Threads, Tier Five Taiyi Golden Stone, Tier Five Ruyi Stone, placing them into the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace, and began refining a Water Spiritual Artifact.

The Celestial Fire Refining Furnace condensed by the Eightfold Celestial Fire Forging Method contained the high temperature within the Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship cabin without leaking a trace, yet those difficult-to-refine Tier Five Refining Materials rapidly melted and adhered together inside the furnace.

Li Mu pinched secret techniques with his ten fingers, and the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace condensed into a Fire Hammer, beginning to forge the Artifact Embryo inside the furnace.

Li Mu’s Divine Thought was invested in the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace, freely controlling the furnace fire’s temperature, the melting shape of materials, refinement effects, and mixing degree... With the assistance of the Celestial Fire Spirit, refining a net-shaped Artifact Embryo took form amidst the flames.

Li Mu summoned a Soul Bottle, releasing a Tier Five Water Lizard Spirit Soul.

Under the ’persuasion’ of the Celestial Fire Spirit, the giant lizard Spirit Soul was quite sensible and, without much negotiation, dived headfirst into the Spirit Net Artifact Embryo, willingly becoming the new Artifact Spirit.

With the help of the Celestial Fire Hammer, Li Mu easily condensed the Artifact Patterns for it, striking the Artifact Patterns one by one swiftly, and the "buzzing" sound of artifact resonance indicated the birth of a new spiritual artifact.

When the last Artifact Pattern was formed, the ’fishing net’ emitted thick water ripples, forming a wave illusion, surging with tremendous spirituality.

"Not bad! It actually shows signs of condensing a Water Dao Principle!"

Li Mu’s eyes lit up. This Water Illusion Realm felt very real, with the waves crashing on his face causing a chilling sensation.

The Artifact Spirit—the Water Lizard continuously circled in the sea current, seemingly looking for an opportunity to escape. At this moment, the Purple Gold Fire Phoenix flew out from the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace, releasing an intense Celestial Fire aura, exuding awe-inducing majesty.

Seeing the appearance of the Celestial Fire Spirit, the Artifact Spirit—the Water Lizard immediately cowered, docile as a cat, lying obediently by Li Mu’s feet, not daring to make any move.

"Quite interesting!"

Li Mu laughed heartily, patting the Water Lizard’s head as the water curtain illusion around them suddenly dispersed, transforming into a net-shaped spiritual artifact that lay submissively in his palm.

[Unnamed (Water)]

[Grade: Fifth-Grade Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact]

[Attributes: Infinite Giant Net, Surging Waves Illusion, Size at Will, Sealing Spirit and Soul, Spiritual Power Absorption]

[Status: Spiritual Energy Newly Born, Water Essence Full.]

[Using Tier Five Black Extinction Spirit Vine, Tier Five Snow Dusk Threads, Tier Five Taiyi Golden Stone, Tier Five Ruyi Stone as primary refining materials, tempered with the Celestial Fire Hammer, it is a Trapped Enemy Spiritual Artifact, net-shaped with variable size. Once ensnared by the Water Spirit Celestial Net, one will be drawn into an ocean illusion; the more one struggles, the more spiritual power is absorbed, with sealing spirit and soul effect.]

With the effect of Innate Divine Power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, the full attributes of the fishing net spiritual artifact were displayed in the character log frame.

Li Mu smiled slightly, having refined many spiritual artifacts, yet this water-element net-shaped spiritual artifact was his first time refining, and it should prove quite useful for dealing with sea realm demon beasts.

Immediately, Li Mu infused a strand of spiritual power, refining this Fifth-Grade Spiritual Artifact. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The Tier Five Water Lizard, gentle in temperament, showing no intention of resistance as an Artifact Spirit, was effortlessly refined by Li Mu.

Holding the Spirit Net, it felt as light as a feather, exuding a cool touch. Li Mu smiled, naming it: "I’ll call you ’Heaven-Trapping’ Spirit Net."

The Artifact Spirit—Water Lizard climbed onto Li Mu’s shoulder and nuzzled Li Mu’s cheek, seemingly very fond of the name Heaven-Trapping.

Just as Li Mu pondered whether to find a place to test the power of the Heaven-Trapping Net, his Divine Sense suddenly detected a giant spiritual ship behind him, speeding towards his direction like a storm.

The ship was enormous, five stories and ten zhang high, approximately forty to fifty times larger than the Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship. As it advanced rapidly, it created a void-shattering momentum, akin to thunderbolts. If not avoided in time, it would assuredly crash into him.

Li Mu cursed inwardly, steering the Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship sharply to the left to avoid the collision.

The next second, the giant spiritual ship rushed past with a thunderous speed, brushing past without acknowledging the existence of the Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship, arrogant to the extreme!

Watching the giant spiritual ship’s distant departing figure with dislike,

Li Mu assumed it must belong to some major sect force to act so arrogantly.

Moments earlier, if Li Mu hadn’t been multitasking, with divine sense constantly monitoring the vicinity of one hundred miles around the Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship, and dodged slightly slower, he would have surely been smashed to pieces with his ship!

That giant spiritual ship was absolutely intentional!

Damn it!

This world is not only filled with demon cultivators, demons but also those major sect disciples who regard human lives as insignificant.

Li Mu intensely desired to deal with the Tier Six Double-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon and then hide in the Yin Yang Valley to lead a reclusive life.
