I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Demon Bear Attack

After completing the transaction with Shopkeeper Liu at the Spirit Talisman Store.

Li Mu didn’t linger long and flew back to Little Liang Mountain, immediately taking out the Tier Two Talisman Paper to try drawing a Golden Armor Talisman.

This time, Li Mu was fully confident of success.

Soon, the tip of the golden wolf hair brush, dipped in Spiritual Ink, glided over the Tier Two Talisman Paper, gathering golden Spirit Light. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi followed suit, forming a Spiritual Energy Vortex above the Talisman Paper, accumulating a vast amount of Spiritual Qi.

Li Mu held his breath and concentrated, maneuvering the golden wolf hair brush, and with a single, decisive stroke, he completed the final touch of the Spirit Talisman.

”Swipe!” In an instant, the golden Spirit Talisman gathered a large amount of golden Spirit Light, condensing into a Talisman Array, floating in mid-air. The golden Spirit Light was brilliant, emitting a powerful, mysterious Spiritual Pressure.

It’s done!

Li Mu’s long hair was tousled by the overflowing Spiritual Qi, his face showing irrepressible joy.

The Spiritual Pressure emitted by the Golden Armor Talisman was significantly stronger than that of the Golden Sword Talisman, reaching the quality of Tier Two Middle Grade. The combined use of Tier Two Spirit Talismans, Spiritual Ink, and an excellent wolf hair brush considerably enhanced the power of the Spirit Talisman.

Li Mu took a deep breath and checked his body; more than half of his Spiritual Power True Essence was depleted, and his Divine Sense was exhausted, making it difficult to paint more Spirit Talismans.

The cost of successfully creating one Tier Two Spirit Talisman was not small. Li Mu estimated his status and figured he could draw about seven or eight in a day, unlike Tier One Spirit Talismans, which could be painted without much concern.

Li Mu stopped painting talismans, planning to wait until he recovered before drawing a few more Tier Two Spirit Talismans for self-defense.

Next, Li Mu began tending the Spirit Field, feeding the Spirit Chicken, optimizing the Slave Puppet, starting a fulfilling day’s farm life.

The next day, Li Mu used Tier Two Talisman Paper to successively create three Golden Sword Talismans and two Golden Armor Talismans, all of Tier Two Middle Grade Talisman Patterns, with a success rate of 90%. If this were to be revealed, it would definitely cause a sensation.

Since his Strength had not advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm, Li Mu decided to keep these Tier Two Talisman Patterns for his own use, not selling Tier Two Spirit Talismans to avoid arousing envy.

Two days passed in a flash.

At dawn.

Little Liang Mountain, a secluded valley nearby.

Xu Lijin was directing Zhou Guangzhi and three Hunter Cultivators to set up a Demon Suppression Array in the valley. Array Runes were carved into the ground, and giant stone Array Pillars stood around to successfully hunt the Tier Two Demon Bear, for which they made adequate preparations.

Soon, Xu Lijin took an array token from his Storage Bag, injected it with Spiritual Qi True Essence, and threw it to the ground. Subsequently, a cloud of mist spread out, forming the Illusion Concealment Array, masking the interior with the help of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power, blocking the detection of Divine Sense.

”The Demon Suppression Array is ready, and with this Illusion Array as cover, the Tier Two Demon Bear shouldn’t be able to detect it. Fellow Daoist Fei, Fellow Daoist Du, it’s your turn to lead the Tier Two Demon Bear here,” Xu Lijin said, looking at the three Hunter Cultivators Fei Zizhong, Du Shilong, and Mo Yuanzhou.

”Fellow Daoist Fei, Fellow Daoist Du, don’t forget what we agreed upon beforehand,” Zhou Guangzhi urged.

”Rest assured! It’s just a small cultivator of the Qi Refining Seventh Layer. If the Tier Two Demon Bear fails to kill him, after we deal with the demon bear, the three of us will help you take care of him,” Fei Zizhong laughed, then took a Spirit Beast Bag from his waist and released a newly born black bear cub, covered in wounds and trembling in fear.

Du Shilong took out a bone flute and began to play it at his lips.

The next second, the sky darkened as a giant eagle with a wingspan of two zhang swooped down, snatching the bear cub from the ground as if it were a chick and rushed towards Burial Cloud Mountain.

Seeing this, Fei Zizhong, Du Shilong, and Zhou Guangzhi all soared on their flying swords, following the giant eagle towards Burial Cloud Mountain.

Xu Lijin and another Hunter Cultivator hid, preparing to face the incoming Second-level Demon Bear.

...

On Little Liang Mountain, Li Mu had just woken up, tidied up, and was feeding Red Wolf with a pot of meat porridge.

Suddenly, Li Mu’s Divine Sense was touched by a Spiritual Sense, receiving a warning from the Sentry Spider Puppet.

Li Mu quickly extended his Divine Sense, connecting it to the Sentry Spider Puppet.

The next second, the abnormal discovery by the Sentry Spider Puppet was presented in Li Mu’s Sea of Consciousness.

He saw a menacing and massive black bear, like a bulldozer, charging towards Little Liang Mountain with the speed of a thunderbolt. Trees were sent flying around it, and Li Mu could already hear the sound of the earth shaking.

Li Mu dared not delay, picked up Red Wolf, released his Flying Sword, and rapidly ascended into the sky, ascending several hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

After ascending on the sword, Li Mu immediately saw the full view of the demon bear’s attack.

A demon bear standing two zhang tall was roaring angrily, madly pursuing a giant eagle whose claws held its cub.

”Damn it!”

Li Mu’s eyes widened with rage, watching the demon bear step on and crush the courtyard where he lived, with his Spirit Field also affected. If he had reacted just a little slower, he would have been doomed.

”Damn, that kid’s reaction is swift!” Not far away, Zhou Guangzhi spat harshly upon seeing the scene.

”Fellow Daoist Zhou, rest assured, once we deal with the demon bear, we’ll conveniently handle that kid for you,” Du Shilong said with a reassuring smile.

”That’s right, just a Qi Refining Seventh Layer cultivator. You don’t have to act, leave it to us. Let’s go, let’s deal with the demon bear!” Fei Zizhong suggested with a smile.

Zhou Guangzhi nodded, wielding his sword to pursue the Tier Two Demon Bear alongside Fei Zizhong and Du Shilong.

Li Mu hovered mid-air on his sword, watching the giant eagle and demon bear vanish into the distance, then descended on Little Liang Mountain to clean up the mess.

The courtyard was destroyed with not much property, which did not bother Li Mu. However, the sight of his Spirit Field being affected, and his crops of Spirit Rice and Wind Spirit Grass being destroyed was deeply regrettable.

Li Mu quickly attempted rescues to see if he could recover some losses.

As Li Mu busily worked, sudden roars and the faint sound of battle carried over on the wind.

Li Mu lifted on his sword, gazing towards the source of the sound, and quickly saw a group of cultivators, along with the eagle holding the bear cub, hunting the Tier Two Demon Bear fiercely.

Li Mu narrowed his eyes.

Among the hunting cultivators, Li Mu recognized two familiar figures.

The destruction of his courtyard and the damage to his Spirit Field seemed at first to be due to non-human causes, and he was resigned to his bad luck. However, upon seeing Xu Lijin and Zhou Guangzhi, he realized things weren’t that simple.

If not for the timely warning from his Sentry Spider Puppet, Li Mu believed he would not have escaped the sudden attack of the Tier Two Demon Bear.

Damn it!

They were trying to use the bear to kill him!

A gleam of ruthlessness flashed in Li Mu’s eyes. He lowered his sword’s altitude and quietly flew towards the battlefield.
