I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 139: Chapter 114: Yin Yang Primordial Array

In the ten acres of Golden Sword Grass, under the stimulation of the Golden Essence Array, and two Spirit Transformation Fourth-Tier Gold Spirit Swords, the seeds have already begun to sprout smoothly, growing just like the Wind Spirit Grass. The effect is very good.

According to the current growth rate of the Golden Sword Grass, which originally required five years to harvest, it looks like it can be advanced to about four years, maybe even three and a half years.

However, the consumption is quite large. Not to mention the cost of two Spirit Transformation Fourth-Tier Spirit Swords, maintaining the Golden Essence Array, which condenses Gold Element Spiritual Essence, requires three hundred and eighty Middle Spirit Stones per month, and sustaining it for about four years would be unaffordable for an average Spirit Plant Cultivator.

The success of the Golden Essence Array also gave Li Mu the resolve to rush and plant Tier Four Spirit Plants—Purple Sun Spiritual Materials and Yin Soul Fruits.

After carefully studying the Yin-Yang Qi, Li Mu also found an array to enhance the Yin-Yang Qi, which is the ”Yin Yang Celestial Derivation Array.”

The founder of the Qing Xuan Sect—Qingxuan Daoist, primarily cultivated the Cyan Lotus Creation Scripture with cultivation that reached the heavens, and also excelled in the seven absolute skills: Spirit Talismans, Artifact Refining, Alchemy, Astrology Divination, Arrays, Melody, and Medical Skill.

The ”Yin Yang Celestial Derivation Array” was one of the array techniques Qingxuan Daoist mastered in his early years.

Li Mu set his sights on the Yin Yang Primordial Array among the twelve array maps of the ”Yin Yang Celestial Derivation Array.” Setting up this array could blend Yin-Yang Qi, causing those trapped within to become dazed and lose their senses, leaving them vulnerable. At the same time, it could separate Yin-Yang Qi, providing the ability to distinguish between them.

By deploying this array on thirty acres of top-grade Spirit Field, it harnesses the power of blending and separating Yin-Yang Qi, providing a growth environment of Yang Qi and Yin Qi for Purple Sun Reishi and Yin Soul Fruit, achieving two results with one effort.

The only trouble is, Purple Sun Reishi grows towards the sun and naturally loves Yang.

The Yin Soul Fruit thrives in the shade and withers upon exposure to sunlight. The two are extremely opposed, making it impossible to grow them on the same Spirit Field.

This problem is a bit tricky!

The thirty acres of top-grade Spirit Field chosen for them will ultimately go unused.

Li Mu soared up with his sword and searched around Moon Pearl Peak, looking for a place where Yang and Yin coexist, and is also suitable for newly cultivating Spirit Field.

Although Moon Pearl Peak is low, its area covers as much as thirty to forty thousand acres. The location where Li Mu set up the Spirit Field was just a tiny area, the essence of the Main Spirit Vein. It is still possible to find another region with both yin and yang!

Soon, Li Mu found a suitable location in a shady Spirit Valley, downstream of a Spirit Stream, within a quiet valley where a lot of Tier One Yin Wind Grass grew, while the foot of the mountain on the other side of the Spirit Valley was completely sunlit.

Li Mu used Pulse Diagnosis Technique to confirm the location of the Spirit Valley and the mountain is at the end of the Main Spirit Vein of Moon Pearl Peak. By setting up Spirit Gathering Arrays and Spirit Summoning Arrays, it would be fully reclaimed, and Spiritualization could easily yield hundreds of acres of Middle Grade Spirit Field. As for upgrading to top-grade Spirit Field, it requires time and a large consumption of Spirit Stones.

However, this has already satisfied Li Mu’s requirements,

By placing this Deep Valley and the adjacent Spiritual Land within the Yin Yang Primordial Array, the rise of Yang and the descent of Yin, with Yin and Yang divided, this location is extremely optimal.

The problem with top-grade Spirit Field can entirely be solved by pouring in Spirit Stones.

Li Mu’s heart raced with excitement and he immediately took action, continuously forming spells like Earth Flipping Technique, Mud Transformation Technique, Drying Technique, Earth Solidification Technique, ..., and various Spirit Plant Cultivator’s techniques, all of them were forcefully applied to the quiet Spirit Valley and to the spirit mountain backing the valley.

Soon, seven Profound Iron Swords shot forward, transforming into array pens, etching complex array patterns on the cliffs of the deep valley.

In less than half a day, the deep valley transformed, opening up a large area of Spirit Field beneath the unprocessed rocky shade, with the concentration of Spiritual Power visibly rising in speed, while the other side of the Spirit Field, a large piece of orderly new field, under the sunlight, burst forth with vibrant vitality.

Li Mu floated in the sky, looking down with a satisfied smile.

The Spirit Gathering Array, Spirit Summoning Array, and Yin Yang Primordial Array were set up together, without interfering with each other and performing their respective roles.

While gathering Spiritual Power, it guides the conversion of the fields, separating Yin-Yang Qi into two parts that do not mix: Yin Qi gathers in the rock-bottomed Spirit Valley, while Yang Qi envelops the Spirit Field on the hill of the valley.

Once the two newly cultivated fields are successfully converted into Middle Grade Spirit Fields, they can then be planted with Purple Sun Reishi and Yin Soul Fruits. Under the enhancement of the Yin Yang Primordial Array, the consumption of auxiliary resources by the two Spirit Plants can be reduced, while increasing their usage efficiency, greatly extending the growth time of the Spirit Plants, achieving multiple benefits at once.

”Haha! I am truly a genius!”

Seeing his design come perfectly to fruition, Li Mu laughed heartily with joy.

Ignoring the consumption of Spirit Stones and disregarding the cost, Li Mu opened the Spirit Summoning Array and Spirit Gathering Array to their maximum efficiency, accelerating the Spiritualization speed of the two Spirit Fields.

After doing all of this and ensuring no problems, Li Mu returned with his sword to the stone house to start researching the cultivation of the remaining four Tier Three Spirit Plants.

With better cultivation grounds for Purple Sun Reishi and Yin Soul Fruits, the other Tier Three Spirit Plants can continue to be cultivated as planned.

...

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed.

At the Moon Pearl Peak, halfway up the mountain, stands an exquisite courtyard built of bluestone. A clear spiritual spring stream flows down beside the yard, with Spirit Fields on either side planted with various Spirit Plants.

Clusters of half-meter-high Wind Spirit Grass sway with the mountain breeze, dense and vigorous. Twenty acres of Cui Ling Fruit seedlings are lush and green, thriving... Yellow Tooth Spirit Rice seedling sprouts have turned milky white under the sun, reflecting an egg-yellow Spirit Charm, full of vitality...

At the end of the three hundred acres of terraced Spirit Fields is a clear pool where the spiritual spring stream converges. Below the pool, tender branches of Water Lotus grow, waiting for the right moment to break the water’s surface. Occasionally, a white fish or a green Spirit Fish swims across; however, as they leap out of the water, they instantly transform into a white Spirit Sword or a green ribbon.

It turns out that the four or five large fish in the clear pool are actually High-tier Spiritual Artifacts capable of Spiritualization, radiating rich Water Element Spiritual Qi that saturates the pool to its limit.

”Zheng Zheng...” Near the clear pool, in a golden Spirit Field, five golden Spirit Swords sometimes transform into eagles, sometimes into a flood dragon, seemingly fighting over territory. They clash fiercely, emitting sharp Sword Qi.

...

In less than three months, Moon Pearl Peak had already changed its appearance.

”Stop fighting, or I’ll use you as firewood sticks! Or lock you up.” Li Mu flew out with Sword Control, angrily scolding the few Tier Four Spirit Swords drifting in the Golden Essence Array.

There were too many refined Spiritual Artifacts; Li Mu could not use Divine Sense to monitor each one, so he let them roam freely. However, they had quite the temper, constantly squabbling over trivial matters, disrupting peace.

Li Mu’s threats were very effective, and those Spiritualized spirit swords immediately dispersed, no longer daring to quarrel.

”Time flies, the Wind Spirit Grass has matured!” Li Mu’s gaze fell on the Spirit Field below where the Wind Spirit Grass was planted, expressing a sigh.

Immediately, Li Mu gazed at 180 acres of bountiful Wind Spirit Grass, conjuring a golden spiritual essence in his hand. In the next moment, crescent-shaped golden sabers flew swiftly.

”Puff puff puff...” The golden curved sabers, some changing paths, some turning, brushed past the roots of the Wind Spirit Grass acre by acre, causing patches of Wind Spirit Grass to fall successively.

”Hmm! What’s going on?”

With Divine Sense cast down, Li Mu noticed that the number of Plant Spirit Light Groups produced from 180 acres of Spirit Field Wind Spirit Grass was pitifully reduced, just about one-tenth of the original quantity.

Soon, clumps of green Plant Spirit Light Groups surged out of the Spirit Field, swarming into Li Mu’s body.

[Talent Divine Power - Plant Spirit Absorption activated, you’ve absorbed a Plant Spirit, Free Skill Points +1]

[Talent Divine Power - Plant Spirit Absorption activated, you’ve absorbed a Plant Spirit, Free Skill Points +1]

...

The virtual log of the character displayed row upon row of Plant Spirit acquisition prompts; upon harvesting 180 acres of Wind Spirit Grass, a total of about 320,000 Free Skill Points were obtained. With each Plant Spirit Light Group, it was +1 Free Skill Point.

”What’s going on? Is it related to my Foundation Establishment?” Li Mu’s face slightly changed, speculating the reason.

It should be that! As Li Mu’s realm elevated to Foundation Establishment, the effect of Tier One Spirit Plants like Wind Spirit Grass surely diminished.

Only gaining 320,000 Free Attribute Points, which wasn’t even enough to level up the Yin Yang Five Elements Scripture once. Hence, he could no longer continue planting Wind Spirit Grass in those 180 acres of Spirit Fields and had to switch to other Tier Two Spirit Plants!

But, which Tier Two Spirit Plant could continue providing Free Attribute Points?

Li Mu furrowed his brows, his Divine Sense looking towards the acre of Experimental Field, screening various Tier Two Spirit Plant seedlings.

”Exquisite Spirit Grass, Celestial Wind Grass, hmm! The duration is around half a year, let’s try these two types first!” Li Mu deliberated, ultimately deciding to head to the Contribution Hall to exchange for the Spirit Seeds of these two Tier Two Spirit Plants.

Li Mu took a deep breath, his Divine Sense covering 180 acres of Spirit Fields, employing the Divine Technique - Thousand Feet Sword Realm.

In an instant, a grand and spectacular scene unfolded. Those cut Wind Spirit Grass blades began to rise autonomously, like countless Spirit Swords soaring skyward, quickly gathering together, transforming into a green dragon in the blink of an eye, flying towards the rear of Moon Pearl Peak.

Li Mu smiled slightly, rising with Sword Control, leading the ’green dragon’ to the backside of Moon Pearl Peak, letting the vast amount of Wind Spirit Grass rise into the air, depositing it in the forest as fertilizer for Spirit Mountain.

After processing the large quantity of Wind Spirit Grass, Li Mu flew with Sword Control to ’Yin Yang Valley’ to inspect the growth of Purple Sun Reishi and Yin Soul Fruit.

Li Mu had aptly named the Deep Valley set with the Yin Yang Primordial Array: Yin Yang Valley.

Last month, after Li Mu invested with no regard for Spirit Stone expenditure, two newly cultivated Spirit Fields in Yin Yang Valley successfully transformed into Middle-grade Spirit Fields, meeting the minimum requirements for cultivating Purple Sun Reishi and Yin Soul Fruit.

Li Mu hurriedly planted two types of Tier Four Spirit Seeds and then had to visit ’Yin Yang Valley’ almost daily to observe the growth conditions of the two Spirit Plants.

Flying above Yin Yang Valley with Sword Control, Li Mu who practiced the Yin Yang Five Elements Scripture immediately sensed the rich Yin Yang Qi within the valley, rising and falling, clearly marked, prompting the True Essence of the Yin Yang Five Elements Scripture within him to stir.
