I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 156: Chapter 121: Star Nebula Visualization Method

————

Cyan Cloud City, thirty li southwest.

A group of cultivators silently sat around within an illusion array, silently waiting for the impending clash.

”Fellow Daoist Chen, did you just feel a trace of divine sense pass by, as if it belonged to a Nascent Soul old monster?” An old man in black robes with a sinister look turned to the commander in charge of this operation, asking.

”It dispersed upon touch, probably not discovered, right!”

”I felt it too, but since we’re inside the illusion concealment array, even a Nascent Soul old monster’s divine sense shouldn’t be able to detect us!”

”The target didn’t bring a Nascent Soul guard this time! It must have been some old rogue passing by, otherwise, they would’ve pounced on us by now!”

”Let’s still be cautious, we’re in the heart of the Qing Xuan Sect, if we really get discovered, it’ll be a disaster!”

...

All the Golden Core cultivators started discussing nervously, that moment of divine sense probing their hiding place made them uneasy.

...

Inside the inner hall of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion in Cyan Cloud City.

Gongsun Chu and the many subordinates of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion were busy with full concentration, registering auctions, recording auction clients, arranging auction items, ..., and other tasks, each one bustling about.

”Master Li, why have you come out! There’s still a little while before the auction ends!” Gongsun Chu quickly signaled upon seeing the figure of Li Mu.

”There’s nothing interesting among the spiritual objects later in the auction, so I won’t be participating. I’ve already bid on something, hand it to me!” Li Mu smiled as he returned the auction order, signaling.

”Alright!” Gongsun Chu took Li Mu’s token and, after checking with divine sense, asked in surprise, ”Master Li, you only bid on a Rock Lizard demon egg! Was this to prevent it from failing to sell! If so, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion appreciates the favor from Master Li, and we’re willing to buy it back at the original price.”

”No, no! I genuinely want this demon beast, it’s for other purposes, just give me the demon egg!” Li Mu quickly waved his hand, signaling.

”Uh! Xiaoyun, go and fetch that Tier Four Rock Lizard demon egg!” Gongsun Chu smiled and nodded, dropping the matter. This time, the Tier Four spiritual artifacts refined by Master Li sold for very high prices, and his standing in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was no less than those of long-standing staff within the pavilion.

Not to mention a Tier Four Rock Lizard, even if it were a Tier Five or Six demon beast, Gongsun Chu would find a way to get it for him.

Soon, the maid named Xiaoyun brought a storage bag and handed it to Gongsun Chu.

”Master Li, aside from this demon beast, if you need any other demon beasts, just say the word. If they’re not available in this auction, I’ll try my best to source them from other shops for you. This time, the Five Sects collaborated to pioneer and captured many demon beast cubs with decent talent at the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts.” Gongsun Chu personally handed the storage bag to Li Mu, smiling warmly as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Li Mu was moved, accepted the storage bag, and immediately requested, ”Then I won’t stand on ceremony. I still need three high-tier young beasts, of the water element, fire element, and wood element, with good talent. Please keep an eye out for me, Shopkeeper Gongsun.”

”No problem! I’ll keep an eye out for you, Master Li!” Gongsun Chu smiled and nodded, then curiously asked, ”Master Li, are you trying to gather five Five Elements demon beasts! Do you already have a metal and earth demon beast on hand?”

Li Mu smiled slightly, shaking his head, ”No, Shopkeeper Gongsun, you’ve overthought it.”

”Uh! My apologies, Master Li, I was being presumptuous!” Gongsun Chu apologized embarrassedly, then asked with concern, ”Master Li, are you planning to leave! Would you like me to arrange a guard to escort you for a way? Every time there’s an auction, there are always some clueless people gathering.”

”Hmm! Does the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion have preparations for this?” Li Mu was slightly taken aback, asking with concern.

”Of course! The Thunder Spirit Ship is currently patrolling above Cyan Cloud City to deter troublemakers. If a client requests escort when leaving, the Thunder Spirit Ship will also provide protection, otherwise, with someone always robbing cultivators midway, how else could the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion hold its auctions!” Gongsun Chu nodded, smiling as he explained.

”I see. However, I’m heading back to the Qing Xuan Sect, and the Thunder Spirit Ship can’t enter its territory, can it still escort?” Li Mu nodded, confused as he asked.

”Master Li may not know, this time, quite a few spiritual objects were auctioned off by the Qing Xuan Sect itself, hence they received a special permission.” Gongsun Chu smiled, nodding.

”Since that’s the case, I’ll catch a ride on this favorable ship then!” Li Mu smiled, nodding, deciding on this secure option as he thought of the tribulation cultivators lying in ambush in an illusion array thirty li outside the city.

”Alright! But, Master Li, you’ll have to wait a bit, until the auction ends, to travel with others who need escort back to the sect.” Gongsun Chu apologized.

Li Mu understandingly nodded, not minding, and chatted with Gongsun Chu about some auction insights, patiently waiting for the auction to conclude.

About an hour later.

The current auction of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion finally came to an end, and Gongsun Chu along with the stewards and subordinates became even busier.

Busy with handing over the spiritual objects with the various distinguished guests who bid on them, since the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had mentioned before the auction began, if spirit stones were insufficient, other spiritual objects could be used to settle the debt, thus many cultivators who bid too high still needed to conduct a trade of objects for objects with the pavilion.

Li Mu patiently waited for a while, then discreetly boarded the Thunder Spirit Ship with several Golden Core cultivators from the Qing Xuan Sect, preparing to return to the sect.

With a ”buzz” of thunder, the Thunder Spirit Ship took off with thunder control, transforming into a rapid thunder light, flying towards the Qing Xuan Sect.
