I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Linggu Development (Part 2)

This valley is called Cyan Dragon Valley.

Li Mu flipped through the Spirit Field map from the Spirit Plant Department and learned the name of this valley. At the same time, he also saw the warning of danger marked on this valley.

It turned out that other disciples of the Qing Xuan Sect had long discovered that Cyan Dragon Valley was very suitable for opening up Spirit Fields. However, it seemed that this pool was the habitat of a Tier Three Jade-Eyed Black-Scaled Python, so they marked it as dangerous and subsequently abandoned the idea of reclamation.

Tier Three Jade-Eyed Black-Scaled Python?

Is this for real!

Li Mu frowned, immediately releasing his Divine Sense, cautiously probing into the deep pool.

Unexpectedly, at the bottom of the deep pool lay another world. He discovered a deep underground waterway, beyond the detection range of Li Mu’s Divine Sense, making it impossible to see the end of the waterway.

However, Li Mu did not detect the presence of the Jade-Eyed Black-Scaled Python for the time being. Instead, he found a lot of fat and delicious Tier One Cyan Spirit Fish, Black Dragon Fish, Spirit Pearl Clam, ... abundant spirit fish resources.

Li Mu pondered for a moment and decided to claim this valley for himself. To be safe, he would block the underground waterway with a large stone and set up an Early Warning Array.

Utilizing the terrain of this valley, he would set up a Large-Scale Demon Trapping Array. If a Tier Three Demon Python emerged from the waterway, even if it advanced to Tier Four, it would merely be served on a platter, and Li Mu would have nothing to fear.

Firm in his decision!

Li Mu formed a Spell with his hands and began to exert his full power.

The next moment, seven Tier Two Profound Iron Swords were released from his Storage Bag. They arranged themselves in formation and appeared beside Li Mu, quickly forming a Seven-Star Sword Array, covering a specific area by the pool.

”Swish, swish...” Sword shadows whistled, and Sword Qi proliferated.

The seven Profound Iron Swords released a sky full of Sword Qi, smashing and scattering several large stones, ... in a short time, a large flat and mirror-like piece of land, with massive stone pillars carved out.

Next, Li Mu fully opened his Divine Sense, using the sword as a pen to ’etch’ array patterns on the stone pillars and ground.

The Dragon Elephant Water Illusion Array, leveraging the Water Spirit Power of the Cyan Pool and waterfall, formed a Large-Scale Fog Illusion Array, making the entire Cyan Dragon Valley disappear.

The Dragon Elephant Spirit-Invoking Array and Dragon Elephant Spirit Gathering Array guided the Spiritual Qi released from the Spirit Veins of two Spirit Mountains and gathered it within the valley, enhancing the Spiritual Qi and altering the direction of the Spirit Vein.

The Dragon Elephant Demon-Trapping Array, hidden and untriggered, used Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi as a guide, setting up an intricate nine-array formation: suppress, trap, deter, confine, surprise, fear, illusion, lose, ..., a grand array capable of trapping even a Tier Four Demon Beast.

...

Time flew by, and two hours had passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Mu’s forehead was full of sweat. He completed the setup of five complex grand arrays in Cyan Dragon Valley in one breath, combining them into a single control area.

To accomplish this, Li Mu exerted a great deal of mental strength and felt somewhat exhausted.

At this moment, the Cyan Dragon Valley had undergone tremendous changes.

A series of giant stone pillars, intricately carved with array patterns, stood on a flat piece of land by the pool, covering an area of over 200 square meters, with 28 giant stone pillars, and the ground also inscribed with complex array patterns. At the center, embedded with baby fist-sized, crystalline Spirit Stones, numbering over one hundred.

Activating the five grand arrays, the 28 array pillars generated array fluctuations, with Heaven and Earth’s Spiritual Qi constrained. The water vapor from the waterfall steamed, transforming into a white mist, gradually enveloping the entire Cyan Dragon Valley, dreamlike, obscuring the valley.

Under the guidance of the Spirit Summoning Array and Spirit Gathering Array, Heaven and Earth’s Spiritual Qi gathered, only entering and not exiting, needing to wait for the Spiritual Qi concentration in the valley to reach a certain level before stopping.

Li Mu estimated the consumption rate of the Spirit Stones in the array. Without activating the Demon-Trapping Array, 180 Middle-grade Spirit Stones could be used continuously for three months. If simultaneously activating the Demon-Trapping Array, Illusion Array, and Killing Array, 180 Middle-grade Spirit Stones would be exhausted in about three days, even though the valley’s Spirit Vein and Heaven and Earth’s Spiritual Power are jointly supporting it.

Li Mu was extremely satisfied with the array formation he laid down after expending considerable effort, exerting the full force of the Level 5 Dragon Elephant Array.

Next, Li Mu planned to use these stone pillars as the pillars of a house, constructing a stone house to conceal the array pillars and the array hub.

Li Mu consumed an Essence Pill and a Spirit Revitalizing Pill, then sat cross-legged on the spot, refining the power of the Spirit Pill to recover his status.

After arranging the array for Linggu, next comes building the stone house, creating a dwelling, cultivating the fields, transforming the Spirit Field, ... starting from scratch, there’s no shortage of tasks to do next.

However, Li Mu is not alone.

After recovering his status, Li Mu summoned slave puppets and several combat puppets from his Storage Compartment, controlling them to transport giant stones within the valley, then continued to chop and smooth them with the Profound Iron Sword.

Soon, blocks of giant stones, each weighing hundreds or thousands of pounds, were cut into uniformly sized and shaped long slabs, one by one stacked in the gaps between the 28 array pillars.

The scene was bustling with activity. Under Li Mu’s control, the eight puppets worked clearly divided: some transporting giant stones, some stacking the stone house, some clearing the rubbish, ... tirelessly bustling around.

A stone house with a courtyard was taking shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After working for three to four hours, a ten-foot-tall, one-entrance four-sided courtyard made of stone slabs stood by the pool, just short of roofing.

Next up is roofing the stone house, interior hard installation, making furniture, ... these detailed tasks need to be done slowly, as careful work makes for fine craftsmanship.

Li Mu first cleaned up the scene, and with a sweep of his Divine Sense, countless fragments of stones, large and small, floated up and swarmed toward Cyan Pool.

A ’stone rain’ fell on Cyan Pool, with large and small stone fragments, blocks, plunging to the bottom of the pool, thousands in number, successfully sealing the underground waterway at the pool’s bottom.

Next came the cultivation of the Spirit Field.

Li Mu walked to a patch of shrubs, condensed the Fire Element Spiritual Power, and cast a Drying Technique, the Fire Element Spiritual Power covering the entire shrub patch. The next moment, the emerald green weeds and shrubs rapidly carbonized and withered, becoming dried leaves and branches in the blink of an eye.

Li Mu continued to cast the Earth Flipping Technique, causing the ground to crack, flipping out large root systems of the shrubs and weeds.

Li Mu then cast another Drying Technique, removing the moisture from the shrub and weed root systems, completely cutting off their vitality and turning their bodies into nutrients for the field.

Soon, Li Mu continued to cast spells, alternating between the Earth Flipping Technique and Drying Technique, walking through the weed-infested shrubs, constantly cultivating plots of scorched earth, highly efficiently.

As the sun set in the west, Li Mu stood amidst large portions of scorched fields, looking at the fruits of his labor, a face full of joy.

In just half a day’s work, nearly a hundred acres of land had been cultivated, a world apart from the hardwork of opening up wasteland in the past.

In a few days, I’ll flip the soil again, enrich the field with fertilizer, refine the field, and once it’s converted into a Lower Grade Spirit Field, sowing can begin.

A hundred acres of Spirit Field!

Once these Spirit Plants are cultivated, my cultivation should be able to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Li Mu was overjoyed, continuing to immerse himself in the fields, clearing the newly cultivated Spirit Fields.
