I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 717: Chapter 385: Sect Lineage Accepts Disciples (Part 1)

Similar to the Yanyuan Spirit Grass, the Mouxing Spirit Grass has a longer mature stage, with fewer flowering and fruiting periods. However, Li Mu only needs to wait for them to mature, and he can continuously extract Star Source to enhance the Divine Sense Technique.

Li Mu started getting busy, replacing Array Formation Spirit Stones, reinforcing the array, performing techniques, and applying Spirit Rain while weeding.

He was busy for quite a while, and then night fell.

Li Mu hurriedly took out hundreds of Tier Six Supporting Spiritual Materials—Starlight Crystal Stones from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl. These Starlight Crystal Stones radiated a faint silvery starlight, resembling the stars in the night sky, containing a richness of Star Power.

With a gentle wave from Li Mu, hundreds of Starlight Crystal Stones flew like meteors, accurately embedding into various corners of the Spirit Field.

As the Crystal Stones embedded, the entire Spirit Field seemed awakened, beginning to emit dazzling light, like thousands of gathered stars turning the whole Spirit Field into a radiant celestial realm.

Under the reflection of this dazzling light, the Mouxing Spirit Grass in the Spirit Field seemed to awaken from slumber. Their leaves trembled gently as if they had come alive, cheering for the rich star energy environment. At this time, the Star Attraction Array played a significant role, acting like a giant magnetic field, attracting vast amounts of Star Power to flow continuously into the Spirit Field.

Star Power, like a trickling stream, permeated throughout the entire Spirit Field, intertwining with the brilliant light emitted by the Starlight Crystal Stones, resembling sprites of Heaven and Earth dancing elegantly. This light and star energy jointly painted a magnificent stellar picture, breathtaking to behold.

Nourished by this rich star energy, the Mouxing Spirit Grass seemed to receive a call of life, growing more vigorously. Their roots burrowed deep into the soil, like slender tendrils exploring every bit of Spiritual Power in the earth. The branches and leaves unfolded accordingly, as if inviting the stars in the night sky, attracting more Star Power to descend.

Under the joint influence of starlight and star energy, the Mouxing Spirit Grass continually accumulated growth power. Their leaves became greener, their branches thicker, exuding vibrant vitality.

”So beautiful!” Xue’Er couldn’t help but exclaim with admiration, gazing at the gathering starlight and the silver-glowing Mouxing Spirit Grass, her eyes sparkling with radiance. These Mouxing Spirit Grass under the starlight seemed to transform into a dazzling star sea, so beautiful it was intoxicating.

”Indeed beautiful. When they mature, the refined Spirit Pills will have an extraordinary divine effect on increasing Divine Sense,” Li Mu replied with a faint smile.

Xue’Er nodded, looking at Li Mu and asked with concern, ”Lord Li, your thoughts are all on the Spirit Plants. Once back, you’re busy with these things. Are you finished now?”

”High-tier Spirit Plants are rather delicate and require careful nurturing. However, for now, I’ve reached a temporary conclusion, and I can spare some time to handle other matters. Is there anything urgent?”

Xue’Er gathered her thoughts and hurriedly explained, ”The Sect will soon hold the centennial worship ceremony, during which the Sect competition and discipleship ceremony will take place. Several Elders have frequently inquired about you, hoping you will attend. Additionally, Sister Liu has reopened Li’s Treasure Tower, and the business is doing well. She has also sought you out several times. Furthermore, Qing Yue went out for some matter, asking me to convey since you weren’t present.”

”Understood! Let’s return to the Sect Leader’s Mansion then; we can have them come over later,” Li Mu nodded and indicated.

The two promptly left the Spirit Field and flew towards the Sect Leader’s Mansion. Along the way, Li Mu contemplated the upcoming centennial worship ceremony, which was a grand event for the Seven Profound Sect. It was not only a commemoration of the founding ancestor but also an inspiration and challenge for the younger generation of the Sect. As the Sect Master, he naturally couldn’t miss it.

Liu Yalan’s reopening of Li’s Treasure Tower and her cooperation with the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, managing the Treasure Pavilion while searching for the high-tier Spiritual Materials and Spirit Plants he needed, likely has some news; Li Mu was quite expectant.

As for Qing Yue, being a Tier Seven True Dragon, decisive in action, it surely has something important in its outing. Li Mu believed Qing Yue could manage his own matters well and also looked forward to good news upon its return.

Back at the Sect Leader’s Mansion, Li Mu took a short rest before gathering several Sect Elders to discuss the arrangements for the centennial worship ceremony.

In the Assembly Hall, Li Mu and seven Sect Elders of the Seven Profound Sect sat together, where the atmosphere was lively yet solemn, with everyone’s face filled with anticipation and importance for this ceremony.

Fang Shixin, the Sect’s second elder, ranked only below Li Mu, looked around at the crowd, presiding the meeting, ”Sect Master, the centennial worship ceremony is not only a tribute and remembrance to our Seven Profound Sect’s founding ancestor, Ancestor Qi Xuan, but also an important moment for our Sect to showcase its strength and unify hearts. During the ceremony, besides paying homage to the ancestor, we’ll also initiate the Sect disciple competition, select outstanding disciples, and arrange for core disciples to be inducted to the main peak.”

Fang Shixing paused, turning to look at Li Mu sitting in the main seat, and continued, ”Sect Master, you have yet to have any disciples under your name. To ensure the legacy of the Sect Leader’s lineage, I earnestly request you to take a few outstanding disciples this ceremony. Your Artifact Refining Skill, Array Formation Technique, and profound Swordsmanship, if there’s a lineage, it wouldn’t be left without successors.”

Elder Qin Wentong followed suit, agreeing, ”Yes, Sect Master, your ultimate skill, if left without a successor, really would be a great regret. For the future of the Seven Profound Sect and for your skills to be passed down, I hope you’ll seriously consider taking disciples.”

Ge Xinyu echoed, ”Sect Master, there’s only yourself in the Sect Leader’s lineage, lacking strength. If you enter seclusion or go out for matters, there would be no one to hold the fort within the Sect. If you have disciples to aid in managing, it won’t only assist you in handling Sect affairs but also govern the Sect in your absence. Additionally, if your supreme skills can be passed down through disciples, it undoubtedly becomes a great treasure for our Seven Profound Sect. I hope you’ll consider this matter carefully.”

The several elders strongly suggested to Li Mu that he take a few disciples during this Sect ceremony. Knowing Li Mu’s talent and strength, they understood that if disciples could inherit his true prowess, it would have a profound impact on the Sect.

Upon hearing this, Li Mu furrowed his brows and contemplatively thought about the matter of taking disciples. He had never seriously considered it; firstly, he worried he would not have enough energy to guide disciples. Secondly, he did not want to involve too much with disciples in causes and effects or trouble.

However, seeing the elders’ expectant eyes and hearing their suggestions, Li Mu couldn’t help but waver. Yet, thinking about the potential troubles that come with taking disciples, he hesitated once more.

The path of cultivation is long and arduous, and each disciple may have their own fate and tribulations. Li Mu worried that once he took disciples, he would unconsciously get involved in their causes and effects, adding unnecessary troubles.

On the other hand, although the Seven Profound Sect has deep foundations, there’s a recent decline in talent. Without the injection of fresh blood, it might be difficult to maintain its former glory. As the Sect Master, bearing the responsibility of passing down Sect skills, if suitable disciples could be found, leaving behind some legacy wouldn’t be a misfortune.

Li Mu pondered for a while, looked at the elders, and declined, ”I will seriously consider the suggestions of the elders; however, taking disciples is no trivial matter. I need time to weigh the pros and cons carefully. During the ceremony, I will observe closely for those genuinely potential and talented disciples. Whether to take disciples still depends on fate and timing.”

The elders felt somewhat disappointed hearing this, but also knew taking disciples was no small matter. Li Mu would certainly think deeply before making a decision. They nodded in understanding, promising to assist Li Mu in finding suitable disciple candidates during the ceremony.

After discussing the ceremony arrangements with the elders and sending them off, Li Mu began to wait for Liu Yalan, anticipating her news.
