...

Pale light groups emerged one after another, endlessly appearing, Li Mu was so exhausted that he couldn’t straighten his back, yet his face wore a brilliant smile, occasionally glancing at the densely packed log prompts in the virtual screen, his eyes smiling broadly.

[Ding, your cultivation broke through to Qi Refining Fifth Layer]

”Oh! The cultivation broke through again, what a disaster! If the neighbor Old Man Zhang finds out about the abnormal increase in cultivation, will he report it?”

Li Mu’s smile was so wide it was crooked, he muttered to himself with concern, yet there was no trace of worry on his face.

The Qing Xuan Sect has many spirit fields near Qing’an Town, however, the spirit veins are too barren, only around Tier One Lower Grade spirit veins, the spirit fields depend on the spirit veins to exist, because the distribution of spirit veins is too sparse, the spirit fields are far apart from each other.

The spirit field Li Mu rented is a dozen or so zhang away from the one Old Man Zhang rented next door; usually, Li Mu is either working in the fields or cultivating at home, rarely ever meeting with him.

The last time he met Old Man Zhang was a rushed encounter a month ago.

Li Mu’s cultivation broke through three layers consecutively, just need to avoid him a bit, no worry about being discovered; even if he’s found out, he has excuses to get by.

One mu of spirit field, harvested from dawn till dusk, finally all the spirit rice was harvested.

Before dark, Li Mu successfully moved all the harvested rice ears into the courtyard, waiting for tomorrow to husk them and obtain spirit rice.

After finishing today’s farm work, Li Mu was so exhausted his back was sore, his body extremely tired, yet his spirit was very full, still craving more.

After a short rest, Li Mu began to prepare spirit rice to fill his stomach.

The usual post-dinner cultivation directly turned into refining spirit talismans.

With this Talent Divine Power of Plant Spirit Absorption, why cultivate? In the future, just farming and harvesting spirit rice can gain cultivation.

By the way, I wonder if the spirit plants other spirit plant cultivators cultivate can have plant spirit absorbed, maybe I should go to Old Man Zhang’s field and cut a batch to see?

Action is better than intention, Li Mu stopped drawing the spirit talisman, left the courtyard door ajar, grabbed a sickle, and in the moonlight, sneaked over to Old Man Zhang’s spirit field next door.

A short run of about a hundred meters, Li Mu arrived at Old Man Zhang’s spirit field, he hadn’t started harvesting the spirit rice yet.

The lights were on at Old Man Zhang’s house, Li Mu quickly stepped into the field, casually cut a batch of rice ears, and didn’t find any plant spirit light group.

Unconvinced, Li Mu cut another batch, and indeed, still no light group appeared, unsatisfied, he cut yet another batch, still nothing,...

Li Mu, in one breath, cut through a small patch of spirit rice, and still found no light groups.

Doesn’t seem like it works!

Only the spirit plants he grows himself have plant spirit light groups to use.

Li Mu left the rice ears in the field, dejectedly climbed out of the spirit field, feeling as if missing a treasure, heartbroken beyond measure.

”Woof woof...” Old Man Zhang’s dog in the yard noticed the commotion outside, barking madly.

”Who?” Old Man Zhang came out from the house, questioning across the courtyard gate.

”Old Man Zhang, it’s me, just passing by, I’m going home now.” Li Mu quickly responded.

”Oh, it’s Brother Zhao! What are you doing out there in the middle of the night! Hurry back inside, be careful of encountering a Yin Spirit.” Elder Zhang warned loudly from the courtyard, cautiously not daring to come out and investigate.

”Got it!” Li Mu replied, glancing at the Exorcism Talisman tucked in his chest, and turned to run back to his courtyard.

Just then, the Exorcism Talisman in his chest inexplicably emitted a faint glow, releasing a scorching aura, indicating the approach of a Yin Spirit.

”Could it be this unlucky? Old Man Zhang’s crow’s mouth.” Li Mu was scared out of his wits, quickly pulled a Profound Iron Sword from the storage compartment, and ran desperately home.

Li Mu glanced back, vaguely seeing a shrouded mist shadow closely trailing behind, almost upon him.

”What do I do! The Exorcism Talisman only has a warning function, how do I deal with the Yin Soul?” Li Mu was flustered, his mind going blank with anxiety.

At this critical moment, Li Mu suddenly remembered he was no longer a small fry at Qi Refining Second Layer but a cultivator at Qi Refining Fifth Layer, dealing with a wandering Yin Soul shouldn’t be a problem, right!

Li Mu turned to face the Yin Soul, right hand gripping the sword horizontally, spiritual true essence gathered in his palm and poured into the Profound Iron Sword.

Tier One Lower Grade - Profound Iron Sword, as spiritual power imbued, its blue sword body emitted a faint spirit light.

The Yin Soul, noticing the gathering spiritual power, hesitated no longer and dived straight at Li Mu, wide open for attack.

In that instant, Li Mu’s left hand formed a seal, two fingers together, pointing forward: ”Go!”

The Profound Iron Sword in Li Mu’s right hand suddenly flew out, penetrating the Yin Soul’s body sharply with infused spiritual power.

The mist shadow of the Yin Soul quivered, a gust of yin wind surged, angrily continuing its attack on Li Mu, this time the flying sword caused severe injury.

Facing the Yin Soul’s approach, Li Mu forced himself to calm down and confront it, his two fingers closed on his left hand, swaying.

The next moment, the Profound Iron Sword shooting through the dark night returned, piercing through the white mist of the Yin Soul, driving fiercely into the ground, the sword body ’buzzing’ with tremors, as if about to disassemble.

The Yin Soul, severely injured twice, could no longer maintain its Yin Fiend Mist Body, with a bang, its fiend mist burst into pieces, transforming into countless soul power particles, dissipating into the heaven and earth.

Li Mu exhaled a heavy breath of turbid air, feeling relieved.

Li Mu forcefully pulled up the Profound Iron Sword embedded in the ground, turned, and dashed back into his courtyard, shutting the door tightly, not going out again.

To prevent the disciples planting spirit fields from being disturbed by evil spirits, during the construction of the courtyards, Qing Xuan Sect had dispatched disciples to arrange some Feng Shui Protection Arrays, providing a slight deterrence effect,

Therefore, at night, hiding inside the house offers some defensive capability, but of course, if encountering High-Tier monsters coming down the mountain, fierce ghosts and vengeful spirits, one could only rely on their own luck.

The original owner’s death is perhaps related to the Yin Souls, in the future, I shouldn’t go out at night.

The first time using the Sword Control Technique to kill a Yin Soul left Li Mu both happy and fearful, unconsciously looking at the character interface.

[You successfully cast the Sword Control Technique, proficiency +1.]

Seeing the log prompt appearing on the virtual screen, Li Mu’s heart calmed down; with such a powerful golden finger, he could quickly grow stronger.

This world is very dangerous, especially at night, now that the cultivation time is freed up, once the spirit rice is sold, buy a few combat techniques to practice, strive hard, both in swordsmanship and sword control technique, need to improve quickly to strengthen combat capabilities.

Li Mu pondered in his mind, then sat at the wooden table, taking out talisman paper and pen, continuing to draw Exorcism Talismans.
