I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 306: Chapter 197: Desolate Ancient City – Fuyun Port

After leaving the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, Li Mu casually put away the Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship and flew directly towards Bi Celestial City.

With the Passenger Token from the Illusionary God Sect in hand, he proceeded without any hindrance.

The welcoming disciples of the Illusionary God Sect greeted him with respect, answering all his questions, and informed him that in three days, he could use the teleportation array to travel to Desolate Ancient City.

Li Mu temporarily stayed in the courtyard of the Illusionary God Sect.

Three days passed in a flash.

Led by the disciples of the Illusionary God Sect, Li Mu arrived at the teleportation array and waited quietly for the array to be activated.

Over a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators stood at the forefront, with rows of Golden Core cultivators behind them, waiting respectfully without daring to overstep.

Time flew by, and as nearly everyone who intended to use the array was present, a commotion suddenly arose from the rear of the line.

Two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were led to the front of the teleportation array by disciples of the Illusionary God Sect, with the Nascent Soul cultivators of the sect smiling broadly, waving their hands to clear the way with a commanding spiritual pressure, causing the Golden Core cultivators to hastily step aside.

Guided by the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Illusionary God Sect, the two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in azure brocade robes flew straight to the forefront of the teleportation array.

”Fellow Daoists, there’s been a slight situation, and the teleportation needs to pause for a bit. We ask for everyone’s cooperation, and we shall refund part of the teleportation fee shortly.” The sect’s Nascent Soul cultivator hovered in the air, apologizing with a look of remorse to the ’clients’ using the teleportation service.

Li Mu frowned slightly, though displeased in his heart, he showed no outward emotion.

The Nascent Soul cultivators beside him began to discuss candidly, and Li Mu perked up his ears to listen intently.

”Strange, what are the Kun family members doing here?”

”What’s going on with the Illusionary God Sect, even the Kun family members don’t dare to offend them? So overbearing!”

”I heard the direct heir of the Kun family perished in the Star Gazing Sea area and lost a precious treasure, they must be here for this reason!”

”A relic of an ancient cultivator’s water mansion was discovered in the Star Gazing Sea, many fellow Daoists perished exploring it!”

”I haven’t heard! What kind of water mansion relic?”

”Never mind! It’s too dangerous a place, I’d better not inquire!”

”...”

The surrounding Nascent Soul cultivators speculated in low voices about the intentions of the Kun family members, with the topic gradually shifting to the water mansion relic.

Having heard this gossip, Li Mu furrowed his brows slightly and became more vigilant.

Previously, a cultivator of the Kun family in the Star Gazing Sea had indeed revealed their identity while seeking his help. Li Mu vaguely recalled that after hunting the Eight-Clawed Demon King, he ended up securing their relics.

Upon this thought, Li Mu glanced towards the storage compartment at the two storage rings he had forgotten.

The storage rings could not be placed inside the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, which is itself a storage spiritual artifact, so Li Mu stored them in the storage compartment. Later, busy with exploring the Cyan Moon Flood Dragon’s lair and capturing the Flood Dragon, he completely forgot about checking the spoils of battle.

The heir’s death in the Kun family seemed tied to him, with the slain Eight-Clawed Demon King now becoming his artifact spirit.

As for what was stored in the storage ring, Li Mu did not know yet, nor did he plan to take it out anytime soon.

The Kun family members were so tense and made such a big scene, it was definitely not an ordinary object. The storage compartment on the panel had a mysterious isolation function that ensured it wouldn’t be discovered as long as he didn’t take it out.

With this realization, Li Mu let out a slight sigh of relief, displaying a relaxed expression as he curiously observed the actions of the two Kun family Nascent Soul cultivators.

The two Kun family Nascent Soul cultivators were combining their efforts to control a cyan-black turtle shell spiritual artifact, injecting a large amount of spiritual power into it to release a formidable aura, emitting a mysterious ripple that spread in all directions.

Li Mu gazed upon that turtle shell spiritual artifact, and under the Innate Divine Techniques - Spirit Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, all its attribute information was laid bare.

[Eight Trigrams Patterned Turtle Array Armor]

[Grade: Tier Six Array Artifact]

[Attributes: Eight Trigrams Array, Array Device Connection, Eight Trigrams Sealing Spirit, Heaven-Sealing Forbidden Realm.]

[Status: Array Device Damaged, Artifact Spirit Malicious.]

[Refined with Six-Tier Eight Trigrams Patterned Turtle Shell, Tier Six Celestial Fuling Stone, Tier Six Yin-type Spirit Threads, this Tier-Six Array Artifact, with God-Sealing Disc, Sealing Spirit Hammer, two Tier-Six Array Artifacts, can set up the Absolute God Sealing Spirit Bagua Array, Gathering of Qi, Absolute God and Spirit, though two array artifacts are missing, the Eight Trigrams Patterned Turtle Array Armor’s artifact spirit is greatly diminished!]

Having examined the attribute information of the turtle shell array artifact, Li Mu, surprised yet enlightened, understood the intention of the two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Kun family; they were attempting to activate the Eight Trigrams Patterned Turtle Array Armor, utilizing its spiritual power to reveal the other two array artifacts!

However, despite the Kun family’s Nascent Soul cultivators casting spells for quite some time, there was no reaction on site, and their arduous efforts made them appear like fools, achieving nothing but wasting their time.

Li Mu observed their spellcasting without a word, smiling.

He was uncertain whether the storage rings of the fallen Kun family cultivator contained the God-Sealing Disc or the Sealing Spirit Hammer, or perhaps both, but since they were placed in the storage compartment, Li Mu was not worried they would be summoned.

The isolation feature of the storage compartment had been tested by Li Mu multiple times; regardless of the strength of divine thought or closeness of connection, it couldn’t be tracked, just like the Celestial Void Tripod and the Tier Seven Fire Phoenix Egg.

”You two, that’s enough, don’t you think?” The Illusionary God Sect’s Nascent Soul cultivator looked at the two Kun family cultivators with dissatisfaction, signaling them to stop.

”Elder Qiu, apologies for the disturbance! We will fulfill our part of the agreement!” The Kun family’s elder, with his head full of silver hair, apologized to the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Illusionary God Sect, then turned to the group waiting to use the teleportation array and apologized, ”Fellow Daoists, I apologize for the delay in your travel. Compensation matters will be handled by the Illusionary God Sect, so we shall not disturb you further.”

With those words, the Kun family’s two Nascent Soul cultivators hurried away, as if they had never been there.
