I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 290: Chapter 192: Nine-leaf Cyan Lotus

[Nine-leaf Cyan Lotus]

[Grade: Tier Four Spirit Grass]

[Attributes: Cyan Spirit Charm, Spiritual Vitality, Water Element Gathering, Enlightenment Lotus Seed.]

[Status: Spiritual Fullness, Vitality Abundance]

[Nine-leaf Cyan Lotus prefers to be planted in clear Spirit Lake or clear water sources, places rich in Water Spiritual Qi can accelerate its growth. Nine-leaf Cyan Lotus takes ten years to take root, fifty years to mature, and during its mature stage, it will produce a hundred Cyan Spirit Lotus Seeds. These Cyan Spirit Lotus Seeds assist Water Spirit Root cultivators and are one of the main materials for refining Tier Three Spirit Awakening Pills.]

The environmental requirements for planting Nine-leaf Cyan Lotus are not high, similar to other Tier Four Spirit Plants, with specific requirements for planting in water, requiring abundant Cyan Spirit Qi.

It spares the trouble of developing the Spirit Field.

Just a dense Water Spiritual Qi combined with Tier Four Cyan Spirit Qi material—Cyan Spirit Water—can aid its free growth.

Thus, Li Mu sprinkled thirty acres of Nine-leaf Cyan Lotus Spirit Seeds into the Cyan Lime Pool. As the Nine-leaf Cyan Lotus Spirit Seeds touched water, they immediately cracked open, sprouting dozens of slender Spiritual Roots.

These Spiritual Roots seemed to have life, extending deep into the lake bottom, causing the water spiritual energy to ripple.

At the bottom of the Spiritual Pool, all the fish demons were attracted by the special Spirit Charm emitted by the Nine-leaf Cyan Lotus Spirit Seeds, willingly becoming its guardian spirit beasts, engaging in fierce battles just to gain the qualification to guard one Nine-leaf Cyan Lotus.

Seeing this, Li Mu frowned and began to ponder seriously.

Once spirit grass or spirit medicine beneficial to spirit beasts appears, those spirit beasts aware of the benefits will occupy the area, protect it, and await its maturation to devour it, enhancing their own spiritual energy and cultivation.

Planting Nine-leaf Cyan Lotus in this pool has obviously caught the attention of these spirit fish and fish demons. The growth of its leaves and the seeds produced upon maturity have great supplementary effects for these spirit beasts, which requires cautious defense.

If the Nine-leaf Cyan Lotus is devoured by these fish demons upon maturity, the loss would be significant.

Kill all the spirit fish and fish demons in the Spiritual Pool?

Li Mu frowned and abandoned that decision. While the safety of spirit plants is important, the ecological balance of the Treasure Mansion Space cannot be compromised.

The lake contains no less than ten thousand spirit fish. Killing them all would saturate the water with blood qi, contaminating its purity, which would be detrimental to the Nine-leaf Cyan Lotus’ growth.

Bringing a high-tier Water Spirit Beast to guard the area would solve this problem.

Wait a moment!

Li Mu recalled the Spirit Beast Intelligence bought from the Celestial Secret Pavilion, which had been delayed due to focusing on seizing the Celestial Fire.

Among them, the location of the Tier Six Flood Dragon seems to be very close to where he currently is.

Li Mu quickly took out the Intelligence Jade Scroll from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl and infused it with his Divine Sense.

”Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon, Late-Stage Tier Six, resides in the Star Gazing Sea, extremely powerful, doubling its strength by utilizing sea advantages, capable of contending with Late-Stage Divinity Transformation Realm.”

”This demon has lurked in the Star Gazing Sea Region for hundreds of years, advanced to Tier Six a century ago, harboring resentment towards human cultivators, often attacking passing human cultivators, highly bloodthirsty, inherently sly. Numerous merchant alliances have gathered to confront it three times, each attempt has resulted in its escape, with one Early-Stage Divinity Transformation Realm expert and twelve Nascent Soul True Monarchs falling during the sieges.”

”The last siege occurred two years ago; this flood dragon is expected to have suffered severe injuries, hiding in the deep sea to recover, rarely seen this year, and the attacks on passing human cultivators have ceased.”

...

After reviewing the intelligence on the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon, Li Mu frowned. If there were no accidents, this Star Gazing Sea would be where Li Xiaotian killed the Cyan Sea Mad Flood Dragon!

The Star Gazing Sea, located in the vast southern sea region of the Southern Spirit Continent, is truly a place where demons thrive, teeming with sea demons in massive quantities.

The sea realm is far broader than the Southern Spirit Continent, with sea demons far exceeding land demons in number, thousands and tens of thousands more than human cultivators, posing a significant potential threat, yet also an inexhaustible source of cultivation resources.

Fortunately, the variety of beast demons within the sea realm is extensive and disunited. Coupled with the disdain sea demons hold for land, both sides have maintained a certain balance, though small skirmishes occur frequently, no large-scale conflict has erupted.

After some reflection, Li Mu decided to investigate once.

Sea realm demons occupy the underwater arena; however, Li Mu has refined numerous Tier Five Water Spiritual Artifacts, and coupled with his Five Elements Dao Body, his Water Spirit Root has reached perfection.

In some respect, combat within the sea realm would not hinder Li Mu’s capabilities.

Nonetheless, before pursuing this, he must first plant the Golden Origin Spirit Fruit. Compared to other Tier Four Spirit Plants, the planting location for Golden Origin Spirit Fruit need not be specifically chosen.

Li Mu found a top-grade Spirit Field, cleared the spirit plants, and precisely sowed the Golden Origin Spirit Fruit Spirit Seeds into every designated spot within the Spirit Field.

Then, he performed the Clear Wind Rain Summoning Skill, with a torrential Spirit Rain pouring down.

Li Mu summoned one hundred Tier Four Gold Spirit Sword and arranged the upgraded version of the Tier Four Golden Essence Array, encircling thirty acres of Spirit Field at the center. The visible golden spiritual energy converged into a stream, within the array, nurturing every Golden Origin Spirit Fruit Spirit Seed.

Li Mu instructed the Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape to patrol this spirit plant site,

then proceeded to inspect several other Spirit Fields. Once verification was complete, Li Mu left the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion and returned to the courtyard.

Within the courtyard, Xiaojin, Xiaowa, and the Red Wolf were playfully frolicking happily.

Seeing Li Mu return, they obediently ran over, with Xiaowa and Xiaojin still affectionately nuzzling Li Mu as always.

The Red Wolf, however, lay obediently beside Li Mu, having entered its elderly phase, its health deteriorating, movements sluggish.
