I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 160: Chapter 122: Baili’s Aid

In three months, it had grown to over ten feet tall, resembling a semi-grown Godzilla.

Having practiced the Spirit Devouring Body Nourishing Technique, Xiaojin entered a growth and development stage, rapidly increasing in height and size, matching Xiaowa. Whenever the two playfully wrestled, the courtyard often turned into a mess.

The small garden was no longer suitable for their residence.

Because of this, Li Mu chose a location on Moon Pearl Peak to build a new Beast Taming Garden, and placed Xiaojin and Xiaowa together there for rearing.

Thus, while busy caring for the spirit plants, Li Mu also had to feed two big eaters.

Despite the hectic days, Li Mu felt very fulfilled and time flew by quickly.

As time passed, in the blink of an eye, six months had gone by.

After harvesting the ripe Tier One Jade Spirit Fruit from twenty acres, as expected, the Divine Soul value acquired from the spirit plant light group was only one-tenth of what it was during the Qi Refining Stage. However, since the quantity of Jade Spirit Fruit planted was quite large, Li Mu harvested 500 Divine Soul bonus points, and the range of his Divine Sense detection increased by several dozen feet.

With this harvest bringing such a significant increase in Divine Soul, Li Mu was very satisfied and continued planting Jade Spirit Fruit in the twenty acres of Middle Grade Spirit Field.

After harvesting the Jade Spirit Fruit, a wave of Tier Two Spirit Plants began to mature sequentially.

The first to mature was ninety acres of Tier Two Celestial Wind Grass.

In his hands, Li Mu gathered Gold Element Spiritual Essence and slashed out golden light blades.

With a ’swish’, the golden light blades flew across the spirit fields, causing swathes of Celestial Wind Grass to fall neatly.

As the Celestial Wind Grass was harvested, clusters of green spirit plant light groups appeared densely scattered across the spirit fields.

Seeing this, Li Mu extended his Divine Sense to cover and absorb the spirit plant light groups.

[Talent Divine Power - Plant Spirit Absorption activated, you’ve absorbed a plant spirit group, Free Skill Points +2]

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

...

In the next moment, dense new notifications appeared in the character log, and seeing this, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, he hadn’t misjudged; Celestial Wind Grass and Wind Spirit Grass shared an attribute that provided Free Attribute Points. Though the growth time was longer, it also provided Free Skill Points.

After harvesting ninety acres of Celestial Wind Grass, Li Mu acquired over seven million Free Skill Points, averaging about eighty thousand points per acre—quite a high value!

Li Mu was overjoyed and began allocating Free Attribute Points.

The first skill Li Mu thought to enhance was the Nebula Meditation Method, and he immediately focused his attention on the character panel to allocate points to Nebula Meditation Method - Gathering Spirit Chapter.

[Ding, you consumed one Free Skill Point, Nebula Meditation Method - Gathering Spirit Chapter +1.]

...

[Ding, you consumed one Free Skill Point, Nebula Meditation Method - Gathering Spirit Chapter proficiency +1, level upgraded to: Level Five, your Divine Soul grows, Divine Sense detection range increased by 22%, Nebula Meditation Method - Gathering Spirit Chapter reaches Minor Achievement Realm, you comprehend Divine Sense Divine Technique: Star Concealment.]

...

[Ding, you consumed one Free Skill Point, Nebula Meditation Method - Gathering Spirit Chapter +1.]

...

[Ding, you consumed one Free Skill Point, Nebula Meditation Method - Gathering Spirit Chapter proficiency +1, level upgraded to: Level Six, your Divine Soul grows, Divine Sense detection range increased by 28%, you comprehend new Divine Technique: Gathering Spirit and Condensing Star.]

...

Li Mu eagerly spent the newly acquired seven million plus Free Attribute Points all on the Nebula Meditation Method, raising it to Level Eight, almost to Perfection.

A wealth of cultivation experience with the Nebula Meditation Method flooded into his mind, which Li Mu absorbed one by one, feeling not the slightest discomfort, but extreme comfort.

As this stream of ’Mysterious Power’ surged in, Li Mu’s Divine Soul in the ’Nebula’ Sea of Consciousness suddenly grew four to five times taller, and the Power of Divine Sense subsequently exploded and surged by dozens of times.

Confirming the newly acquired Divine Sense Divine Technique ’Star Concealment’ had extremely high capabilities of concealing Divine Sense, Li Mu applied this technique and unleashed his Divine Sense at full strength.

Soon, the ’situation’ of the entire Qing Xuan Sect headquarters appeared one by one in Li Mu’s Sea of Consciousness, with his Divine Sense reaching a distance of three hundred miles.

At a mountain peak two hundred miles from the Qing Xuan Sect headquarters, three Foundation Establishment cultivators, wearing Inner Sect Disciple robes, were being pursued by a group of black-robed Demon Cultivators.

”Quick, Junior Sister, hurry back to the sect using the Spiritual Ship to deliver the news, we’ll hold them off for you!”

”That’s right! Junior Sister Ling, quickly release the Spiritual Ship and go!”

While controlling their spiritual artifacts to fend off enemies, two male Foundation Establishment cultivators urgently urged the female cultivator in a pink dress.

”Senior Brother, let’s leave together, we have released the sentry arrow, the mountain is within one hundred miles of the sect, surely someone will come to rescue us!” the pink-dressed female cultivator insisted.

”Still thinking of leaving? None of you are going anywhere! Just surrender and I’ll let you have a quick death!” the leading black-robed cultivator shouted determinedly.

Finishing his words, the black-robed cultivator led his subordinates, quickly closing in like a hunt.

”I see them, the sect disciples are in trouble, we can’t just sit by and do nothing!”

Li Mu sighed, waved his hand casually, directing a burst of True Essence towards the Stream Spirit Pool where Cyan Lotus was planted.

The next moment, four ’big fish’ leaped out of the Spiritual Pool, transforming into four agile white lights, swiftly flying towards the wilderness mountains over a hundred miles away from the sect headquarters.

Possessing Artifact Spirits, the Tier Four Spirit Swords had independent maneuverability. Boosted by Li Mu’s powerful Divine Sense, the four Spirit Swords behaved like fish freed from a ’cage,’ transforming into spirit fish, tracing incredibly vibrant and beautiful flowing light in the air before disappearing into the horizon.

However, within Qing Xuan Sect headquarters, with numerous cultivators present, many witnessed the scene.

”Wow! What is that? A spirit fish heading skywards?”

”What spirit fish? That’s a Spirit Treasure!”

”It’s a masterless Spirit Treasure escaping, pursue it quickly!”

”What’s it exactly? Where did it go? Are you messing with me?”

”No chance of catching it; even a True Monarch couldn’t match that speed!”

”Such a great opportunity, and it’s missed just like that, alas!”

”What was it? I saw nothing, what did you see, Senior Brothers?”

The Foundation Establishment cultivators watched the horizon, some exclaimed loudly, others shook their heads, sighed, or showed frustration, and watched the fleeting Spirit Swords filled with regret. However, most cultivators are puzzled, not understanding what had transpired.

A few Sword Control light trails refused to give up, chasing the Spirit Swords, but they soon returned dejectedly.

Having a spiritual artifact fly with or fly without carrying someone makes a significant difference in speed; even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would struggle to catch up to such independently maneuvering high-tier spiritual artifacts.

In the blink of an eye, the four Spirit Swords reached the scene of the pursuit.

The black-robed cultivators had completely encircled the three Qing Xuan Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators, entirely oblivious to danger’s arrival.

The next moment, the four Spirit Swords descended like thunder, rushing into the crowd like a school of fish, silently moving between each black-robed cultivator, incredibly agile.

They came and went like the wind, circling the group before swiftly veering upwards into the sky, vanishing from sight.

The bodies of black-robed cultivators, who were attacking the three Foundation Establishment cultivators, froze in place before collapsing to the ground with a ”plop,” blood spilling out.

”What was that just now?” Mo Jingsheng asked in confusion, glancing at Lin Yifan beside him.

”I saw it too; it was a Flying Sword, wasn’t it?” Lin Yifan replied uncertainly.

”Senior Brother Mo! Senior Brother Lin! We’ve been saved, haven’t we?” The pink-dressed female cultivator asked incredulously, staring at the fallen enemies around them.

”Yes! It must have been a sect elder using Flying Swords to rescue us!” Mo Jingsheng nodded, gazing at the corpses of Tribulation Cultivators scattered on the ground, with relief from their narrow escape evident on his face.

”Senior Brother Mo, should we clear the battlefield?” Lin Yifan inquired eagerly, eyes glinting as he gazed at the dead corpses.

”Yes! Clean up and hurry back to the sect!” Mo Jingsheng energized, instructing his companions.

The trio quickly sprang into action, tidying the battlefield.

Seeing this unfold, Li Mu smirked bitterly, thinking that next time, he should have the Flying Swords clear away the spoils of battle too, to avoid exerting effort in vain!
