I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 234: Chapter 168: Tier Five Star Wood

Luotian City, Li Family.

In the courtyard, after feeding Xiaojin, Xiaowa, and the Red Wolf, Li Mu left them behind to guard the house.

Then, Li Mu returned to the closed training chamber, opened the Tier Seven Grotto Heaven Spiritual Treasure - Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, and plunged inside, ready to inspect the growth status of the spirit plants he had cultivated.

At the same time, Li Mu prepared to sow the high-tier Spirit Seeds he had purchased at the Celestial Secret Pavilion.

The higher the tier of the spirit plants, the longer the growth cycle needed—Tier Four spirit plants often require decades, or even over a century.

Fortunately, within the Tier Seven Grotto Heaven Spiritual Treasure - Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, the space is dense with Spiritual Qi far surpassing the outside world due to its devouring of spirit veins. This significantly shortens the growth cycle of spirit plants, and with the arrangement of arrays suited for the plants’ growth needs, the maturation time can be further reduced.

Moreover, the Tier Seven Grotto Heaven Spiritual Treasure - Painting Realm Treasure Mansion boasts the five elements in harmony, forming its own world, replete with all sorts of special environments, making it a perfect divine artifact for Li Mu, who possesses the Plant Spirit Absorption talent.

Upon entering the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, Li Mu soared through the air, flying to a Spirit Mountain where fiery lava surged and was filled with high-temperature fire attribute spiritual power.

Surrounding the Spirit Fire Mountain’s mouth, the environment was extremely harsh, with the air teeming with intense fire attributes. Nothing grows for miles, filled with abundant fire attribute spiritual power, an environment where other attributes’ spirit plants struggle to survive but is highly suitable for the growth of fire attribute spirit plants.

Li Mu hovered in the air, observing his surroundings, and vaguely saw some Tier Three and Four fire element spirit beasts lurking, guarding some fire-type spirit medicines.

Shortly after Li Mu entered the Grotto Heaven Spiritual Treasure, the Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape, responsible for watching over the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, shrunk its body and swiftly flew over.

The Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape respectfully flew behind Li Mu, slightly bent over, with a genuinely loyal posture, ready to serve and assist.

”Master, are you planning to open up a spirit vein here and plant spirit medicines?” The Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape asked ingratiatingly, observing Li Mu.

The Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape had somewhat grasped the new master - Li Mu’s preferences. He enjoyed cultivating large amounts of Spirit Fields within the mansion’s spiritual land, planting various spirit plants, and then harvesting them when mature—a peculiar and unique hobby!

The Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape pondered Li Mu’s intentions, ready to provide suitable land for planting spirit plants at any time.

”Yes! Help me find a place suitable for planting Dragon Blood Celestial Grass.” Li Mu nodded, indicating with a smile.

”Yes, yes, yes, there is a flat spiritual land hidden in a tunnel within this volcanic spirit vein guarded by a Tier Four Fire Spirit Dragon Lizard. Hunt it down and use its rich fire spirit essence blood to nourish that land, then plant the Dragon Blood Celestial Grass; it will be perfect!” The Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape nodded repeatedly, gesturing vividly, providing detailed intelligence for Li Mu.

”Oh! Take me to see it!” Li Mu nodded and ordered.

The Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape eagerly complied, flying ahead to lead the way.

Soon, the Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape led Li Mu into a hidden path at the Spirit Fire Mountain’s mouth, arriving at a large underground cave filled with Spiritual Fire.

The large cave, spanning hundreds of acres, had a flat terrain. At its center lay a Fire Spirit Lizard over ten zhang long. Sensing Li Mu and the Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape’s presence, it abruptly opened its vertical pupils wide; its entire body was covered in red scales, ears spread, emitting a powerful aura to intimidate intruders.

The Tier Four Fire Spirit Lizard possessed a certain level of intelligence, having perceived the extraordinary strength of Li Mu and the Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape, sensing a crisis.

Li Mu surveyed the massive underground cave, situated within the interior of Spirit Fire Mountain, connected to its passages, with observable lava pools flowing not far away. The vast cave was steeped in fire attribute spirit qi, far denser than any other area.

This place will do nicely; placing a Fire Element Array here would provide an ideal growing environment for the Dragon Blood Celestial Grass.

”Well done, let’s plant the spirit plants here. You handle that Fire Spirit Lizard!” Li Mu nodded satisfactorily, casually instructing the Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape.

”Understood!” The Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape complied eagerly, the next moment, it dashed out, swinging a punch toward the head of the Fire Spirit Lizard.

The Fire Spirit Lizard roared towards the sky, a high-temperature purple fireball forming in its mouth, it spewed it towards the Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape, ...

Soon, an intense ”bang-bang...” sound echoed continuously in the underground cave.

About dozens of breaths later.

With a loud ”boom,” the massive body of the Fire Spirit Lizard crashed heavily to the ground, its neck snapped, and its magma-like crimson blood flowed onto the ground, quietly dying away.

The Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape pounced towards the massive corpse of the Fire Spirit Lizard, using all its limbs to hammer madly, intent on flattening the body, squeezing its blood to serve as fertilizer for the Dragon Blood Celestial Grass.

Watching this brutal scene, Li Mu’s mouth twitched slightly, somewhat unable to bear it. He then raised his hand, unleashing a flood of sword qi that enveloped the Fire Spirit Lizard.

Seeing this, the Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape bounced around, fleeing as if in fear.

Under the attack of countless sharp sword qi, the gigantic body of the Fire Spirit Lizard was quickly dissected into countless chunks of bloody meat in mere moments.

Li Mu waved his hand again, repeatedly casting the Earth Element - Earth Dragon Skill,

In the next moment, the underground beneath the cave began to churn violently, as if earth dragons were surging through the cave; the blood-soaked fragments of the Fire Spirit Lizard were swiftly buried underground, ..., and large swathes of Spirit Fields appeared in an orderly manner.

After about a moment, seventy acres of Spirit Fields were cultivated inside the large underground cave.

Fire Spirit Plants are different from other spirit plants; once the seeds are sown, they require no watering or irrigation; merely burying them in the soil allows them to absorb the surrounding fire element spirit qi to grow on their own. They only need a substantial amount of fire element spiritual power and ’Dragon Blood’ to ensure the Dragon Blood Celestial Grass’s accelerated growth.
