I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 232: Chapter 167: Cold-Dispelling Divine Pill (2)

Even the two major sects in Luotian City each have only one Tier Four Alchemy Master.

Quickly, under the enthusiastic guidance of the Li Family’s Golden Core Elder, they brought Li Mu to the Spirit Garden to rest.

A courtyard roughly the size of a hundred acres of good farmland, with a main room, a practice room, and a magic array room, was serene and tranquil. However, the courtyard was situated on a high-tier spirit vein and arranged with a Tier Three Spirit Gathering Array, making the spiritual energy very abundant.

Besides this, the courtyard was also equipped with a Sound Insulation Array, an illusion array to prevent Divine Sense intrusion, and several Tier Three arrays.

Li Mu’s Divine Sense swept over, and he understood the arrays laid out in the courtyard thoroughly.

This courtyard was arranged with great care, leaving Li Mu quite satisfied.

”Master Ye, the courtyard is plain, please make do and rest here! Once our Ancestor recovers, he will come to visit. If you need anything, you can summon the servants of this garden using this token.” The Li Family Golden Core Elder took out a silver token, respectfully handing it to Li Mu, motioning for him to take it.

Li Mu nodded, accepting the token.

After the Li Family Elder left, Li Mu entered the courtyard, feeling somewhat lonely.

Li Mu released Xiaojin, Xiaowa, and the Red Wolf from the Spirit-Taming Treasure Bracelet, letting them play and frolic in the courtyard.

As for Xiaobai, it has not yet awakened.

Ever since it devoured the Divine Soul of Venerable Tianyun, the sleeping Xiaobai continuously emitted a spirit light, with its aura changing daily, constantly strengthening, as if it were in a state of advancement.

Li Mu didn’t know if Xiaobai could smoothly advance after devouring Divinity Transformation Shocking Soul; Qianchong’s refined Puppet Spirit was only Tier Five, making its advancement quite difficult!

Nevertheless, if Xiaobai could leap from Tier Five Peak into the ranks of Tier Six Demon Beasts, it would be an immensely powerful card.

Li Mu’s Divine Sense was attached to the Spirit-Taming Treasure Bracelet, monitoring Xiaobai’s status in real-time, full of anticipation.

At this time, Xiaojin, Xiaowa, and the Red Wolf, who had been released, scurried over to Li Mu.

Xiaojin tugged on Li Mu’s collar, nuzzling Li Mu’s leg with its head, its eyes blinking, human-like, extending a hand to point to its mouth.

Seeing this scene, Li Mu instantly understood what they meant.

All right!

The three came out and immediately felt hungry!

”I got it! I’ll get you something to eat right away!”

Li Mu smiled slightly, using his Divine Sense to enter the Grotto Heaven Spiritual Treasure, communicating through the Spirit Taming Contract Seal with the Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape inside the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, instructing it to catch a Tier Four Spirit Beast.

The Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape was very diligent, quickly beating to death a ten-zhang large Tier Four Spirit Beast, the Blood-toothed Fire Lion.

Soon, the corpse of the Blood-toothed Fire Lion appeared in the courtyard, Xiaojin and Xiaowa cried out joyfully, while the Red Wolf hid behind Li Mu in reverence, barking ’woof woof’ in awe of the Tier Four Blood-toothed Fire Lion’s corpse.

In no time, the once-quiet courtyard turned lively.

...

At this moment, thousands of miles away in Huanlang Spirit Mountain.

One of the three Divinity Transformation Venerables of the Independent Cultivator Alliance, Venerable Tianyun, was mysteriously killed. Months have passed, yet the Independent Cultivator Alliance’s investigation shows no sign of waning.

Any cultivator passing by Huanlang Spirit Mountain must be questioned thoroughly, especially those Five Elements Cultivators and Nascent Soul Cultivators, who face inescapable interrogation.

However, Nascent Soul True Monarchs are exceptionally talented and proud; how could they easily cooperate with the Independent Cultivator Alliance’s investigation? Naturally, this led to some conflicts and many unpleasant incidents occurred.

In the end, it took the two Divinity Transformation Venerables of the Independent Cultivator Alliance appearing to suppress many Nascent Soul Cultivators’ unruly temperaments, using their power to compel the Nascent Soul Cultivators to obediently accept questioning from the Independent Cultivator Alliance’s cultivators.

Yet when they discovered the true reason behind the Independent Cultivator Alliance’s hunt for the ’murderer,’ the Nascent Soul Cultivators immediately burst into laughter. The Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, previously unhappy from being questioned, began mocking the Independent Cultivator Alliance’s cultivators as well.

It turned out, one of the three Divinity Transformation Venerables of the Independent Cultivator Alliance, Venerable Tianyun, had been leap-tier assassinated by a Nascent Soul True Monarch with Five Elements Spiritual Power, instantly becoming the greatest joke under heaven!

Utterly ridiculous!

————

The headquarters of the Independent Cultivator Alliance is located in a large Spirit Mountain in Huanlang Spirit Mountain, containing two high-tier spirit veins.

A towering city, with vast palatial buildings, is built atop the Spirit Mountain.

In the central area of the city, a sky-piercing, majestic golden tower seems to pierce the heavens, imposing and unparalleled.

This is the headquarters of the Independent Cultivator Alliance. Inside the Celestial Tower Main Hall, Venerable Celestial Sound and Venerable Lin Hai sat on two thrones, another throne empty, creating a sense of incompletion.

At this moment, below the Spirit Hall, a Nascent Soul True Monarch knelt on both knees, his face filled with worry, trembling as he looked up at the two Venerables.

Upon the throne, Venerable Celestial Sound’s voice was as melodious as musical notes, seeming to soothe people’s emotions as he gently said, ”Liu Changlong, you say Venerable Tianyun had previously ordered you to guard a hidden cave mansion?”

Liu Changlong, under the influence of Venerable Tianyun’s poisonous spell, was sent to guard the cave mansion. Now, as the matter has come to light, he has been summoned to the Spirit Hall to answer Venerable Celestial Sound’s inquiries.

Liu Changlong dared not conceal anything, honestly recounting the situation as it happened.

After listening, the two Venerables exchanged a glance, each seeing a hint of doubt in the other’s eyes.

Venerable Lin Hai’s eyes were like blades, sternly questioning, ”This matter concerns Venerable Tianyun, why did you wait until now to speak up!”

Liu Changlong smiled bitterly: ”In response to the two Venerable Lords, I was planted with a poisonous seed by Venerable Tianyun, only obtaining a ten-year temporary antidote. Ever since learning of Venerable Tianyun’s accident, I’ve been fearful and anxious, seeking medicine everywhere, which caused the delay, ...” he explained.
