I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm-Chapter 416 - 246: Snow Fox Race (Part 2)

"Xue’Er, I am an alchemist, not a physician, I’m afraid I’m powerless!" Li Mu gave a wry smile and declined while looking at the grief-stricken Xue’Er.

"Lord Li, you have extraordinary abilities. Brother Jin and the others all say you are omnipotent, you surely can do it, ... oh right, don’t you want high-tier spiritual materials, high-tier spirit seeds? Our clan’s treasure vault has plenty, if you can heal my mother, you can ask for anything, Lord Li, you can absolutely do it," Xue’er looked at Li Mu, pleading earnestly.

The treasure vault of the Fox Race was indeed tempting. A high-tier demon race’s collection of high-tier spirit plant seeds must be considerable. Li Mu was quite moved, yet, to enter the Snow Fox Race, if anything unforeseen happened, it might not be worth the risk.

Li Mu hesitated slightly, then declined again: "Though I’m good at alchemy, I am not an expert in detoxification, I fear my ability is limited!"

"Lord Li, I beg you to save my mother, you surely can do it. If you don’t help, my mother is certain to die." Xue’Er did not expect Li Mu to refuse outright and was suddenly in a panic. She rushed to Li Mu’s side, clung to his leg, and cried, "Lord Li, please be merciful. As long as you lend a hand to save my mother’s life, I will listen to you henceforth, you absolutely can do it!"

"Xue’Er, get up, there is no need to beg him like this!" Bai Tianya frowned deeply, reprimanding her.

For a royal member of the Snow Fox, to beg a human cultivator so humbly was truly disgraceful if the clan members knew.

"Third Uncle, Lord Li is extremely talented. As long as he takes action, he can definitely save my mother. Please help me persuade him!" Xue’Er, teary-eyed, turned to Bai Tianya, signaling her request.

Bai Tianya frowned, scrutinizing Li Mu, deep in thought.

"Master, I also plead with you, please save Xue’Er’s mother," at this moment, Xiaojin suddenly spoke, appealing to Li Mu.

"You..." Li Mu was dumbfounded, unexpecting Xiaojin to support Xue’Er at this moment. Could it be that he had fallen for Xue’Er?

Cross-species love?

As Xiaojin’s words fell, Xiaowa also stepped forward, assisting by saying, "Master, please take action and save Xue’Er’s mother! Xue’Er is so pitiful!"

Xue’Er’s eyes were red, her entire body trembling, indeed, she looked quite pitiful!

Li Mu frowned, looking at Xiaojin and Xiaowa’s pleading eyes. After spending decades with Xue’Er, it was inevitable there would be some feelings between them.

The Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon, Xiaobai, the Chi Lian Fire Phoenix, all looked at him too; though they didn’t speak, their eyes also hoped he would act.

Faced with the beseeching looks of the beasts, Li Mu found it inexpressible to refuse again.

"Young brother, if you can save Xue’Er’s mother, our clan will surely reward you generously! High-tier spiritual materials, spirit plants, will not be spared," Bai Tianya spoke to Li Mu, promising earnestly.

Meeting the gaze of the beasts, Li Mu seriously pondered for a moment.

"Alright then, I can give it a try. However, elder, let me say first, I’m not skilled in the healing arts. Whether I can cure the patient, I have no assurance. If it truly cannot be done, you cannot blame me. Additionally, as a human cultivator, entering your noble territory might be inconvenient, I’ll need your care." Li Mu clarified his stance with Bai Tianya to avoid future disputes.

"I am an elder of our clan and will ensure your safety. If you succeed in healing Xue’Er’s mother, you won’t be disappointed, and if it doesn’t work, you won’t be blamed. Rest assured!" Bai Tianya sighed with relief and promised Li Mu.

"Thank you, Lord Li!"

Xue’Er, overjoyed and in tears of gratitude, thanked Li Mu and then expressed her thanks to Xiaojin and the others.

"Thank you? We are friends!" Xiaojin grinned.

"Exactly, we’ve been together for so long, don’t be so formal, your matters are ours too. Besides, Master has a soft heart and won’t abandon someone in peril!" Xiaowa reassured Xue’er warmly.

"The sooner the better, elder, let’s set off. Please lead the way!" Li Mu glanced at Xiaojin and the others, then looked at Bai Tianya, signaling his readiness.

Bai Tianya nodded, flying ahead with Xue’Er to lead the way.

Li Mu leapt onto the Double-Horned Cyan Moon Flying Dragon, closely following behind.

Time flew by, and in less than an hour, Li Mu and company arrived at the summit of ’Snow Cloud Ridge’, reaching the territory of the Snow Fox Race.

It was rumored that the Snow Fox Race was adept at mimicking humans, naturally charming, and extremely intelligent, even before taking human form their intellect was comparable to or even surpassed that of humans.

Hence, when Li Mu and the others reached the Snow Fox clan’s territory, it was not the expected scene of mountain surrounds, lush vegetation, residing in mountainous terrains, with heavens and earth as curtains, and caverns as mansions.

Instead, Li Mu saw a magnificent and imposing city standing ahead, bustling streets full of various demonic foxes passing through, some still in fox demon form, others transformed into human form.

The Snow Fox Race, atop Snow Cloud Ridge, opened up a secret realm, constructed a city that not only housed the Snow Fox Race but also other demon races living there.

A massive city, complete with shops, inns, and other buildings. In the city center stood a giant statue of a Nine-tailed Demonic Fox, lifelike as if it had a soul, with nine tails coiled into a lotus shape, beautiful yet elegant, majestic yet graceful.

"Master, are we sure we came to the right place?" Xiaojin murmured as he gawked at the spectacle of the grand city, asking Li Mu in awe.
