I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 186: Chapter 144: Boring Years

Qing Xuan Sect, Sect Master Hall.

Divinity Transformation Ancestor - Qingfeng Ascendant, Sect Master - Qing Yi, along with Qingyang, Qingchen, Zhou Hong, Chen Yuan, and several Nascent Soul Elders gathered in the great hall to discuss matters.

”So, Venerable Huo Tian from Mountain and River Sect came, looking for that ’Jianchen’,” Qingfeng Ascendant asked the Nascent Soul Elders for confirmation.

”Yes, the search information provided by Venerable Huo Tian mostly matches the ’Jianchen’ who saved us,” Qingyang True Monarch confirmed.

Qingfeng Ascendant nodded, pondered for a moment, then looked at Sect Master - Qing Yi and instructed, ”Instruct below, if any Golden Core Cultivator practicing the Five Elements Technique is found, pay a bit of attention to them.”

”Senior Brother, ’Jianchen’ has done us a great favor, you wouldn’t plan to tell this to Venerable Huo Tian, would you?” Qingchen True Monarch said worriedly.

”You all know little about that ’Jianchen’, his origins are unknown, even if you tell, it would be of no use, only increasing troubles. Just pay attention as a formality, after all, we can’t afford to provoke this Mountain and River Sect!” Qingfeng Ascendant glanced at Qingchen True Monarch, sighed, and said.

Upon hearing this, several True Monarchs breathed a sigh of relief; they did not want to be ingrates.

A sip, a peck, could fate be predetermined; a cause leads to an effect, surely there is a reason.

Li Mu previously saved Qingyang True Monarch and others, bringing them good fortune. Qing Xuan Sect did not launch a large-scale search for ’Jianchen’ due to Venerable Huo Tian’s involvement.

With the departure of Venerable Huo Tian from Mountain and River Sect, Qing Xuan Sect quickly returned to tranquility.

Knowing that Venerable Huo Tian from Mountain and River Sect was searching everywhere for him with that Tier Six Blue-Scaled Thunder Lion, Li Mu became even more cautious, bringing to a halt Xiaojin and Xiaowa’s hunting activities.

At Supreme Profound Peak - Contribution Hall, the two Profound Tier Concealment Breathing Techniques exchanged, Turtle Breath Concealment Technique and Five Elements Concealing Breath Technique, were both upgraded to full level, running daily, disguising himself as a Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator practicing Fire Element Technique. Except for necessary outings for supplies and artifact refining task collection, he almost never steps foot outside Moon Pearl Peak.

Later, Li Mu refined a Tier Four Clone Puppet, and all actions involving resupplying materials and collecting artifact refining tasks were performed using the Clone Puppet, no longer leaving Moon Pearl Peak.

Time flew by, and thirty-five years passed in the blink of an eye.

During these thirty-five years, Qing Xuan Sect’s disciple competitions, sect grand ceremonies, Yun Xiaozhi’s invitations for outings,..., and other matters requiring leaving Moon Pearl Peak were all tactfully declined by Li Mu under the pretense of closed-door cultivation.

Nearly nobody has seen Li Mu—this Artifact Refining Elder—in the past years among the over one hundred thousand Inner Sect disciples and the core elder leadership of Qing Xuan Sect, except for Yin Xianwen and Yun Xiaozhi.

Furthermore, Moon Pearl Peak remained shrouded in mist all year round, gradually becoming increasingly mysterious.

A female cultivator and two male companions, three Inner Sect disciples, flew by Sword Control. Upon approaching Moon Pearl Peak, a relatively older Foundation Establishment disciple hurriedly called out: ”Junior Sister Lin, don’t fly over there, that’s Moon Pearl Peak.”

”Why?” The young female cultivator, looking innocent, stopped in mid-air by Sword Control and turned back to ask puzzledly.

”Moon Pearl Peak, don’t know which Elder is in deep cultivation on that peak, has set up a lot of Arrays and Illusion Arrays. Going further, you might easily get lost within it,” the older Foundation Establishment cultivator hurriedly warned.

”That’s right! This peak is home to an eccentric senior; best not disturb him, Junior Sister Lin, come back quickly,” another male Foundation Establishment cultivator advised.

”Alright!”

Seeing the two senior brothers’ serious expressions, Lin Siqi quickly complied, using Sword Control to follow the two senior brothers away.

Lin Siqi glanced back at the mysterious Moon Pearl Peak, faintly noticing the dazzling red glimmer within, appearing majestic and powerful.

With the departure of the three Inner Sect disciples, within Moon Pearl Peak, Li Mu’s expression slightly relaxed, and his gaze became softer.

If they continued to approach, Li Mu would have had no choice but to take action, first subduing them and then tossing them out after dizzying them.

At this time, the happenings in Moon Pearl Peak couldn’t be known to any outsiders.

Moon Pearl Peak, hundreds of acres of Spirit Field, were covered by the Five Elements Elemental Array.

Tier Three Earth Essence Ginseng, Tier Three Qilin Fruit, Tier Three Wood Dragon Vine, Tier Three Golden Sword Grass, Tier Three Jade Pure Cyan Lotus, five kinds of high-tier Spirit Plants, under the nourishment of the respective Five Elements Elemental Array, were growing lushly.

In the Golden Essence Array, many Gold Element Spirit Swords roamed in the air, each Tier Three Golden Sword Grass gleaming golden, emitting faint Sword Qi, growing heartily.

In the Fire Element Array, the Tier Three Qilin Fruit Spirit Plant was fiery red, bearing red Fire Fruits, nearing the time of maturity.

In the Earth Element Array, the Tier Three Earth Essence Ginseng was lush and leafy, absorbing Earth Element Spiritual Qi, with its fragrance wafting around.

...

The entire Moon Pearl Peak was filled with vast amounts of Five Elements Spirit Qi, nearly overflowing.

In recent years, Li Mu reclaimed over two hundred acres of Spirit Field, successfully promoting them to Top-grade Spirit Field, and then planted them all with Tier Three Five Elements Spirit Plants, setting up the Five Elements Elemental Array, investing countless Five Elements Spiritual Materials, transforming the entire Moon Pearl Peak into a Five Elements Spirit Peak.

To conceal the overspill of abundant Five Elements Spirit Qi, Li Mu spared no expense in deploying large Illusion Array and Illusion Array to cover the strangeness of Moon Pearl Peak.

Fortunately, Moon Pearl Peak was located in a relatively secluded Spirit Peak of Qing Xuan Sect headquarters, rarely passed by disciples.

As for those who ventured to spread tales, Li Mu discreetly dealt with them, dazed them, and sent them off to remote places.

Thirty-five years passed, the reputation of Moon Pearl Peak as the residence of a peculiar senior, who dislikes disturbances by strangers, gradually spread among Inner Sect disciples.
