I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 127: Chapter 106: Thunder Spirit Ship

”It’s here! The Thunder Spirit Ship is here!”

”Great! This speed, it’s really fast!”

”Finally, my life is saved. I won’t go out so casually again!”

”Whew! With the Thunder Spirit Ship here, we’re finally safe!”

The rescue Spiritual Ship from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion came like a bolt of lightning, controlled with thunder, flying at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it arrived. The Thunder Spirit Ship measured a hundred feet in length, its blue hull wrapped in streaks of blue lightning as it flew through the air, incredibly sharp.

Li Mu stared at the Thunder Spirit Ship approaching with thunder, revealing its form, his eyes shining with joyous light.

Never in his wildest dreams did he think he’d see such an awe-inspiring aerial battleship in this world, it almost blinded him.

Under the Innate Divine Power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, the splendid information of the Thunder Spirit Ship was clearly presented in the character’s virtual frame. Li Mu immediately understood the combat power of this battleship; ten Golden Core Cultivators, no, even if faced with ten Nascent Soul True Monarchs, they probably couldn’t withstand for long in front of this ship.

The Thunder Spirit Ship descended to a certain height, and two Golden Core Stewards flew out from the ship, gradually descending before Wang Deshan and Li Mu.

”Greetings, Steward Wan, Elder Lei!”

Wang Deshan and the staff of Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion all greeted the two Golden Cores with respect. Li Mu, who hadn’t met them or knew their origins, followed suit with a junior’s salute.

”Captain Wang, what happened? Why did your ship crash here?” Dressed in a luxurious golden robe, looking a bit flamboyant, Steward Wan furrowed his brows and asked.

”It was the Blood God Sect’s Huan Xue Divine Child impersonating Tributor Zhou, who poisoned and ambushed Tributor Lin, then teamed up with several Foundation Establishment insiders to hijack the ship midway, aiming to seize the Ten Thousand Spirits Treasure Strategy. Thankfully, with the help of Master Li, we managed to behead the Huan Xue Divine Child with the sword. Here is the head of Huan Xue Divine Child.” Wang Deshan replied briefly, then took out a wooden box from his Storage Bag, revealing the head inside.

”It really is the Blood God Sect’s Huan Xue Divine Child. Did you truly kill this person?” another Golden Core Thunder Cultivator looked at Li Mu in surprise, unable to believe it.

Lei Liming, with a Thunder-type Strange Spirit Root, honed proficient Thunder Skills, thought that he could probably manage to detain the troublesome Huan Xue Divine Child of the Blood God Sect. To think that he perished at the hands of a Foundation Establishment cultivator was really quite unbelievable!

”Master Li, could it be that you are the Tier Four Refining Master that Wang Wenbao mentioned? Were the few Tier Four Spiritual Artifacts for Gangyang City refined by you?” Steward Wan looked at Li Mu in surprise, finding him even younger than in the booklet.

”Yes, perhaps the Huan Xue Divine Child underestimated a Foundation Establishment cultivator like me and was careless. I also took advantage of Spiritual Treasure artifacts to luckily behead him. Thinking of the battle process, it does seem a bit incredible!” Li Mu smiled slightly, explaining.

”That seems to be the case!” Steward Wan nodded, spoke a few words to Lei Liming via sound transmission, introduced Li Mu’s identity.

Recently, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion of Gangyang City had advanced rapidly, becoming the leader among the hundred cities, ranking first in the region, holding seven Tier Four Spiritual Artifacts, all thanks to this Master Li.

The Pavilion cherished such a figure beyond measure, Steward Wan promptly reminded Lei Liming to be careful with his words.

”So it’s Master Li, long admired, long admired. Could you be more specific, what method did you use to deal with him?” Lei Liming complimented Li Mu, his attitude slightly softened, but he couldn’t help but ask for details out of curiosity.

Li Mu pondered for a moment, apologetically looking at Lei Liming and explaining: ”The Blood God Technique he practiced was countered by the Spiritual Fire I refined, as for the most fatal blow, it was related to a Lifebound Spiritual Artifact I refined. I’m really sorry, Elder, that part I can’t show you.”

”Hmm! I understand, I understand!” Steward Wan nodded repeatedly, quickly interjected, looked at Captain Wang and the others to change the subject: ”Since the culprit is disposed of, gather up the scattered goods, and prepare to board the ship!”

Seeing Steward Wan’s attitude, Lei Liming could only give up on asking further questions.

”Master Li, please board the ship!” Steward Wan gestured to Li Mu, warmly inviting him.

Li Mu nodded, rose with his sword, following the two Golden Core cultivators onto the Thunder Spirit Ship.

In the luxurious reception room of the Thunder Spirit Ship, Li Mu was warmly received by Steward Wan.

”Master Li, wouldn’t it be better for you to serve as a full-time Artifact Refining Honored Guest Elder in our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion? If Gangyang City can’t meet your needs, I hope you come to our headquarters, any dissatisfaction with the welfare and commission can be discussed!” Steward Wan looked at Li Mu warmly, sincerely inviting him.

Li Mu pondered for a moment, politely declining: ”Steward Wan, besides artifact refining, I have other pursuits in my cultivation, and the Qingxuan Sect’s Cultivation Techniques perfectly meet my needs, so I’ll continue to serve as an Artifact Refining Honored Guest Elder in Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.”

Upon hearing this, Steward Wan immediately ran out of excuses to retain him. Compared to a commercial organization like Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, in terms of depth and breadth of Cultivation Technique heritage, it indeed was lacking and couldn’t meet Master Li’s requirements.

”If that’s the case, I won’t force it! I hope Master Li can continue to maintain a good cooperative relationship with our pavilion! You’re heading to Cyan Cloud City, right? I can send you to Celestial River City, and then you can transfer onto another Treasure Ship to Cyan Cloud City. Cyan Cloud City is one of the core cities under the jurisdiction of the Qingxuan Sect, and the Thunder Spirit Ship can’t conveniently fly in!” Steward Wan looked at Li Mu and introduced enthusiastically.

”Thank you, Steward Wan, for seeing me off. It’s truly an honor for me to continue cooperating with the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion,” Li Mu said with a smile, expressing his gratitude.

The two continued to chat about other matters, and Li Mu politely responded to Steward Wan’s enthusiasm, holding a conversation in a very pleasant atmosphere.

...

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

After the Thunder Spirit Ship dropped Li Mu off at Celestial River City, he did not transfer to another Treasure Ship of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Instead, he inquired about the headquarters of the Qing Xuan Sect, the location of Cyan Cloud Peak, and flew solo on a Cyan Cloud Spiritual Ship toward the Qing Xuan Sect’s headquarters.

Traveling westward at a speed of five thousand miles per day, he finally arrived smoothly at the vast Spirit Mountain range where the Qing Xuan Sect headquarters was located.

As he approached the headquarters’ Spirit Mountains of the Qing Xuan Sect, Li Mu recalled the information that Steward Wan had shared with him about the Qing Xuan Sect.

The Qing Xuan Sect was founded five thousand years ago by Qingxuan Daoist. With his outstanding cultivation talent, mastery of seven great techniques, a good mind, a friendly personality, and the blessing of fate, he rose to power in the chaotic era of great contention, occupying a Spirit Mountain blessed land, and established the sect.

Despite its relatively short founding period, several thousand years behind the other four sects, the Qing Xuan Sect, with its youthful vigor and rapid development, gradually showed a trend of surpassing the others.

If not for the suppression from the great immortal sect above, the Celestial Profound Sword Sect, the Qing Xuan Sect would have long taken advantage of the chaotic times to swallow the neighboring Celestial Derivation Sect.

The world is only so big, with limited cultivation resources. If one occupies more, another has less. The atmosphere between the two neighboring sects has never been harmonious.

Missing that opportunity, the Qing Xuan Sect’s development became exceptionally difficult, forcing them to seek out the Ten Thousand Beasts Wilderness Mountain occupied by demon beasts.

Following their ancestor’s ascension, the Qing Xuan Sect began to decline from its peak, showing signs of decay; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been bullied within its territory by disciples from the Nine Demons Sect.

However, even a dying camel is still bigger than a horse. The decline of the Qing Xuan Sect is not important to Li Mu; instead, it highlights his advantage.

Li Mu only needs to take possession of a Spirit Peak and focus on artifact refining and farming within the Qing Xuan Sect’s headquarters, confident that the sect is too large to be easily bullied at its core.

As the Light Cloud Spiritual Ship approached, a team of guard cultivators patrolling the sect core promptly greeted him.

Taking this as his cue, Li Mu quickly put away the Light Cloud Spiritual Ship and flew forward using Sword Control.

”Greetings, Senior Brothers. I am here to visit Senior Brother Yun Xiaozhi at Cyan Cloud Peak. Here is the message token he gave me,” Li Mu said, presenting a True Disciple’s communication token to the guard leader.

”Hmm! What business do you have with Master Yun?” the leading patrol guard asked, scrutinizing Li Mu with curiosity.

”I am an artifact refiner, invited by him to work in your esteemed sect,” Li Mu replied with a slight smile, speaking frankly.

”I see. Come with me! The Qing Xuan Sect headquarters has many Spirit Mountains; we’ll escort you part of the way,” the patrol leader nodded enthusiastically, saying.

”Thank you, Senior Brother!” Li Mu was delighted with the arrangement. Having a guide made his journey easier, and he promptly followed the group, flying toward the core Spirit Mountains of the Qing Xuan Sect.

Before his eyes lay mountain peaks like celestial columns, shrouded in spirit mist. Palatial structures were built atop the peaks and cliffs, while spirit beasts and flying inner sect disciples using Sword Flight moved amongst the giant pillar-like peaks, appearing and disappearing like a fairyland.

A quarter of an hour later, under the patrol leader’s guidance, they arrived near a spire-shaped Spirit Peak.

”Senior Brother Yun lives inside; present your token to gain entry. Remember, this token only grants you access to Cyan Cloud Peak, not other Spirit Peaks!” the guard leader emphasized as he returned the token to Li Mu.

”Thank you, Senior Brother, I understand!” Li Mu acknowledged with gratitude, took the token, and flew with his sword toward the palatial structures atop Cyan Cloud Peak.

Soon, Li Mu was stopped by a male and a female Foundation Establishment Disciple.

”Who are you? This is Cyan Cloud Peak. You’re not a disciple of this peak, don’t wander around,” the male Foundation Establishment Disciple cautioned as he looked at Li Mu.

”Is Senior Brother Yun Xiaozhi here? My surname is Li, and I’m carrying his message token for a visit,” Li Mu quickly presented the token and inquired.

”Please wait; Senior Brother Yun is recovering from injuries. I’m not sure if he can see you; I will announce your arrival,” the female Foundation Establishment Disciple said, taking Li Mu’s token and explaining.

With that, the female disciple hurried off to the inner courtyard.

Li Mu was left waiting, exchanging glances with the male Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

”Haha, Master Li, I didn’t expect you to come on your own, that’s wonderful! I was just planning to visit you after healing,” a hearty laugh echoed, and before the words finished, the figure of Yun Xiaozhi appeared before Li Mu, greeting him warmly.

”Why is Senior Brother Yun injured? Is it serious?” Li Mu asked in surprise, smiling wryly as he explained, ”I couldn’t wait for you, so I came myself! I hope I wasn’t too abrupt!”

”I was schemed against by a villain, but he paid dearly for it; my wounds are no longer serious,” Yun Xiaozhi said dismissively, waving his hand. He was eager to move past the topic and warmly invited Li Mu by taking his arm, ”You came at the right time, saving me a trip. Let’s talk inside!”

Li Mu was welcomed into the residence by Yun Xiaozhi’s warm invitation. Outside, the male and female Foundation Establishment disciples exchanged glances, puzzled over who this Master Li was, that such a minor Foundation Establishment cultivation could prompt a True Inheritance senior to personally and warmly receive him.
