I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm-Chapter 454 - 262: Methods of Tribulation Crossing
Watching the Celestial Cloud Battleship depart into the distance, Li Mu turned to look at the Yin Yang Valley, still a lifeless expanse, with raging winds howling across the endless mountain ranges.
Li Mu silently operated the Star Nebula Visualization Method, concentrating his Primordial Spirit, and flew swiftly toward the depths of the Yin Yang Valley.
After about half an hour, he reached the core of the Yin Yang Valley, gazing at a vibrant scene where Yin Yang Qi was abundant yet distinctly separated and incompatible.
Li Mu infused his Divine Sense into the Nine Treasures Spirit Plant, and with a casual gesture, released the Four-sided House, constructing in an instant a lavish residence with all necessary facilities.
Then, Li Mu flew above the Spirit Field, casting several Spiritual Techniques with a casual wave. The Drying Technique ’baked’ the thriving weeds to death, and the Earth Dragon Skill churned the Spirit Field,...
In a short while, five hundred acres of Spirit Field were cultivated and organized by Li Mu.
Li Mu summoned a few Spirit Swords, inscribing Array Patterns around the Spirit Field and setting up the Yin Yang Primordial Array.
Li Mu had learned twelve Array Maps and the Tier Six Array Formation Technique from the Yin Yang Celestial Derivation Array, easily deploying the Yin Yang Primordial Array, which efficiently gathered and controlled the distribution of Yin Yang Qi.
The Yin Yang Primordial Array could blend Yin Yang Qi, causing those trapped within to lose their senses and be at the mercy of others. Simultaneously, it could also align and separate Yin Yang Qi effectively.
By enveloping the five hundred acres of Spirit Field within the Yin Yang Primordial Array, gathered Yin Yang Qi from the valley provided a growing environment of Yang Qi and Yin Qi for the Purple Sun Reishi and Yin Soul Fruits, respectively, accelerating their growth.
With the Spirit Field cultivated and the Yin Yang Primordial Array activated, Li Mu extracted the Purple Sun Reishi and Yin Soul Fruits from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, releasing them, with his Divine Sense attaching to tens of thousands of Spirit Seeds, precisely maneuvering them into the Spirit Field.
After sowing the Spirit Seeds, Li Mu with a casual gesture summoned the Clear Wind Rain Summoning Skill, drawing in a gentle Spirit Rain, then scattered Purple Sun Jade and Taihua Moon Dew over the two vast sections of the Spirit Field.
The Spirit Seeds of Purple Sun Reishi and Yin Soul Fruits, nurtured by Purple Sun Jade Qi, Taihua Moon Dew, Yin Yang Qi, and the Spirit Rain, became round and plump, and it was only a matter of time before they broke through the earth.
Li Mu smiled with satisfaction, looking once more at the sky, as night quietly descended.
Outside the Yin Yang Valley, the winds howled fiercely, but within, Spiritual Power was abundant, trees were lush, and time flowed peacefully.
Li Mu pondered briefly, then beckoned with a hand for the Spirit-Taming Treasure Bracelet, summoning the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon, Xiaojin, and Xiaowa, releasing them from the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, along with Xue’Er and the Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape.
The once empty Linggu suddenly became lively and bustling.
"Wow! We’re back in the valley! Lord Li, you work so fast!" exclaimed Xue’Er, happily looking around and praising Li Mu.
Li Mu smiled, instructing the Long-armed Ape and Xiaojin, "Go catch a few prey, and we’ll have a barbecue."
"Okay!"
"Yes, Master!"
The eyes of the two Demon Apes sparkled as they responded in unison, leaping into the dense forest inside the valley to begin their competitive hunting game.
"Qing Yue, here is the relic map containing the Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass; this ancient mansion within the relic may contain True Dragon Relics. Prepare yourself, and take Xiaojin, Xiaowa, and Tongtian with you to explore. There might be a destiny meant for you there." Li Mu handed the jade scroll provided by Yun Xiaozhi to the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon.
"Okay! Master, aren’t you coming?" asked the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon respectfully, reaching out to take it.
Though the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon had crossed its Transformation Thunder Tribulation, it was still constrained by the flood dragon bloodline, unable to achieve a Perfect Transformation. However, when it shrank in size, it stood a head taller than Li Mu, effortlessly taking the jade scroll with its claws.
Seeing Qing Yue infuse its Divine Sense to examine the jade scroll, Li Mu smiled and said, "I can’t leave. This mission is for you to lead. Always remember safety; if you encounter an unbeatable foe, either flee or seek my help! Spiritual Objects are external possessions; preserving your life is most important."
"You should prepare first and set off a few days later. I’ll provide some Life-saving Talismans and Spirit Pills for you." After pausing momentarily, Li Mu continued to add.
For this expedition, each Beast Familiar was armed with a Tier Six Spirit Clam, along with talismans, pills, and puppets for protection. Even if they couldn’t win, escapability was assured.
"Thank you, Master!" The Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon expressed heartfelt gratitude, feeling genuinely thankful.
Since becoming Li Mu’s Beast Familiar, it never lacked Spirit Pills or Spirit Medicines, and was even helped to obtain the Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass, Profound Celestial Beast Transformation Pill, among many high-tier spiritual materials, receiving a Tier Six Lifebound Spiritual Treasure—things the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon never dared to dream of.
"Lord Li, what about me and Little Feng? Are we supposed to stay in the valley?" Xue’Er protested, pouting as she questioned Li Mu.
"Little Feng is still young; what if it gets tricked away by someone?" Li Mu couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
"Chirp chirp! Chirp chirp!" transformed into a tiny red sparrow, Chi Lian Fire Phoenix landed on Xue’Er’s tender shoulder, continuously chirping at Li Mu in protest against unfair treatment.
"And me! I’m smart enough! I definitely won’t be tricked away!" Xue’Er found a flaw in Li Mu’s words and anxiously inquired.
"You! Your Cultivation level is too low! Even though you’ve promoted to four tails, your combat tier is far behind Qing Yue and the others for an adventure!" Li Mu chuckled, indicating his point.
"How can it be! My Illusion Technique is quite formidable, assisting from the side to ensure we aren’t discovered!" Xue’Er confidently argued.
"Before those supreme beings, your small tricks won’t deceive anyone. Stay with me alongside Xiaobai and Little Feng!" Li Mu refused with a smile.
Xue’Er sorrowfully lowered her head, recognizing the futility of her resistance; it was a significant loss with nothing gained!
Seeing Li Mu’s resolute attitude and the apparent truth of the situation, Xue’Er stopped insisting, realizing that staying in the valley accompanying Lord Li was excellent too.
Li Mu smiled, declining further comments, and began teaching the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon various potential dangers and response strategies for the expedition.
The Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon nodded repeatedly, diligently learning.
Meanwhile, the two Demon Apes briskly returned, carrying two imposing Giant-horned Spirit Deer, more significant than their bodies, on their shoulders.
"Boom!" With a thud, the Long-armed Ape and Xiaojin slammed the Spirit Deer onto the ground, killing, skinning, and cleaning them.
Soon, a bonfire blazed in the center, with Li Mu placing deer legs on the fire for roasting. The sizzling sounds filled the air, mingling with the aroma of roasted meat.
...
The Yin Yang Valley resumed its lively atmosphere, and Li Mu began patrolling the Spirit Field, refining Spirit Pills, drawing Spirit Talismans, and carving puppets, preparing safety equipment for the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon and its companions’ journey.
Half a month passed in a blink, and Li Mu sent the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon, Xiaojin, Xiaowa, and Long-armed Ape out of the Yin Yang Valley.
"I’ve refined each of you a Storage Spirit Ring containing Life-saving Talismans, Spirit Pills, and puppets. Don’t be frugal with them!" Li Mu distributed four Storage Rings, giving instructions.
"Thank you, Master!"
The Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon, Xiaojin, Xiaowa, and Long-armed Ape accepted the Storage Rings, expressing gratitude in unison.
"Qing Yue will lead this mission. Follow its orders. This outing aims for trial, to increase knowledge, prioritize safety, and don’t risk lives for treasures. I can obtain all your Cultivation Resources; it’s just a matter of time. Don’t endanger your life out of greed for Spiritual Objects, understood?" Li Mu earnestly reminded and explained in detail to the four Beast Familiars.
"Understood! Rest assured, Master, I won’t let them take risks!" responded the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon solemnly, sensing Li Mu’s genuine concern for their safety.
"Master, we’ll behave!" Xiaojin and Xiaowa replied in unison.
"Mm! Off you go!" Li Mu nodded, waving them off, relishing not having to worry.
Quickly, the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon’s body expanded drastically, carrying Xiaojin, Xiaowa, and the Long-armed Ape, swiftly transforming into a black dot disappearing into the horizon.
"Lord Li, when will they return? It feels so quiet in the valley without them!" standing beside Li Mu, Xue’Er asked, clutching his sleeve.
"Finish your Supporting Spiritual Pills, undergo seclusion for a few months, and they might return by then!" Li Mu replied, somewhat irritably.
With those words, he collected Xue’Er into the Spirit-Taming Treasure Bracelet and turned to head back into the valley.
Just then, an unforeseen change occurred. Li Mu suddenly turned around, eyes fixed in one direction, his expression growing vigilant.
