I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm-Chapter 431 - 253: Ancient Mansion Secret Realm (Part 2)

"Thank you, Elder Li. I will certainly visit next time!" Venerable Qingfeng responded with irrepressible joy.

The four True Monarchs all showed joy, but when they thought about the refining materials needed for crafting Tier Six Spiritual Treasures, their happiness waned. Opting to refine a Tier Five Postnatal Spiritual Treasure left them dissatisfied. The four exchanged glances, caught in indecision.

Noticing their expressions, Li Mu couldn’t help but find it amusing.

Li Mu looked at Yun Xiaozi, who had just entered the Nascent Soul Realm. As a gesture of goodwill, he took out a Tier Five Gold Spirit Sword from the Nine Treasures Spirit Plant and erased his Divine Soul Mark from it, presenting it to Yun Xiaozi. "Senior Brother Yun, we haven’t met in decades. Congratulations on successfully overcoming the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation and achieving the rank of Nascent Soul True Monarch. This is my gift to you."

"This too generous! I don’t deserve it, I don’t deserve it!" Yun Xiaozi was flattered, his hands waving in polite denial, overwhelmed by Li Mu calling him ’Senior Brother Yun’.

"Senior Brother Yun, if it weren’t for you introducing me to the Qing Xuan Sect back then, I wouldn’t be where I am today! Are you perhaps displeased with me?" Li Mu continued with a mock stern face, pretending to be angry.

With Li Mu’s words, the atmosphere froze for a moment. Venerable Qingfeng and Qingyang True Monarch both glared at Yun Xiaozi, signaling him to quickly accept it and not upset Elder Li.

"How could I dare! I’ll accept it, I’ll accept it!" Yun Xiaozi, feeling a tingle of anxiety, accepted Li Mu’s gift, laughing and crying altogether.

The Tier Five Top-Grade Gold Spirit Sword, equipped with a Postnatal Artifact Spirit, transformed into a golden flood dragon python with a gaping maw, intent on retaliation, once in Yun Xiaozi’s hand.

Yun Xiaozi, flustered, spent a bit of time refining it, eventually making it his own.

Yun Xiaozi brandished the Tier Five Postnatal Spirit Sword. Its golden sharp sword aura and the resounding sword hum exuded formidable might, clearly not an ordinary spirit sword. With this sword, that tough-skinned Tier Six Demon Bear encountered earlier wouldn’t have stood a chance.

Acquiring such a handy Top-Grade Postnatal Spirit Sword, Yun Xiaozi was overjoyed, smiling from ear to ear.

The three Nascent Soul True Monarchs watched with envy, wishing they were in his place.

"Senior Brother Yun, do you like this sword? If you’re not satisfied, I can replace it with something else," Li Mu teased Yun Xiaozi with a smile.

"I like it, I like it a lot, no need to change it!" Yun Xiaozi eagerly nodded, declining courteously.

"Senior Brother Yun, as long as you’re satisfied. Senior Brother Yun, do you still remember the first time we met?" Li Mu smilingly asked Yun Xiaozi, with a hint of deeper meaning.

"Of course, back then I commissioned you to craft a seal. I still carry it with me! This White Tiger Square Seal has earned great merits for me, and I can’t part with it," Yun Xiaozi replied cheerfully, taking a white square seal from his pocket, showing it to Li Mu.

"Indeed! Time flies, so many years have passed. I remember back then, Senior Brother Yun, you commissioned the White Tiger Square Seal to campaign against the Tier Four Single-Horned Flood Dragon Python in Cyan Dragon Valley. From what we saw earlier, the Tier Five Single-Horned Flood Dragon Python must have advanced by consuming Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass!" Li Mu sighed with intention, trying to guide the topic.

"Exactly, Elder Li, you also have a Flood Dragon under your command, and it’s a Tier Six Double-Horned Flood Dragon. Are you interested in knowing the source of my Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass?" Yun Xiaozi caught on, looking directly at Li Mu and asking straightforwardly.

"Yes, my Flood Dragon Beast has consumed a Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass, and its bloodline has improved somewhat. However, it’s still far from transforming into a dragon. I wonder if Senior Brother Yun could tell me the origin of the Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass?" Li Mu asked directly, without concealment, looking openly at Yun Xiaozi.

"Of course, there’s no problem. That Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass was obtained from the outskirts of a ruin. Here is the map of that ruin. However, the place is extremely perilous. Even after entering the Nascent Soul Realm, I didn’t dare venture deep in. If Elder Li plans to explore, you must be cautious," Yun Xiaozi responded, quickly deciding to share, aware of the disparity when weighed against a friendship with a Tier Six Refining Grandmaster. He retrieved a red jade scroll from his Storage Bracelet, handing it to Li Mu with a detailed introduction.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yun!" Li Mu happily accepted the jade scroll, sweeping it with a glance using his divine sense.

Venturing into the ruin was something Li Mu didn’t plan to do himself. Instead, he intended to return to Yin Yang Valley and continue farming until he broke through to the next realm.

This Ancient Mansion likely held True Dragon Relics if Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass was growing there. Acquiring the True Dragon Relics would be an immense boon for the Nine Dragons Slaying Immortal Array. Additionally, finding more Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass would greatly benefit the growth of the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon.

With numerous beasts under his command, it was time for them to venture and explore.

Having confirmed the location of the Ancient Mansion Secret Realm in the jade scroll, countless thoughts welled up in Li Mu’s mind as he immediately began planning the exploration.

"Elder Li, may I ask you a few cultivation questions?"

While everyone was captivated by the Ancient Mansion Secret Realm, Qing Wen True Monarch suddenly spoke, looking intently at Li Mu with burning curiosity.

Li Mu was slightly taken aback but realized Qing Wen True Monarch’s intention. When learning the ’Yin Yang Five Elements Scripture,’ he had made some arrangements, instructing the disciples to support and focus on cultivating outer disciples practicing that technique.

Reflecting on it, he still needed to thank Qing Wen True Monarch’s arrangements, for otherwise, how would he have had the opportunity to learn this Celestial Tier Fragment Technique.
