I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm-Chapter 337 - 211: The Kun Family’s Scheme

Seeing the curiosity in Venerable Kun Ling and Tianshang Supreme, Li Mu quickly summoned the three-tailed fox demon, Xue’Er, from the Spirit-Taming Treasure Bracelet.

Once Xue’Er appeared, she pouted and complained, "You finally called me out! I was almost suffocated in there!"

The little fox demon appeared with bright, lively eyes, looking around. Before she finished speaking, she sensed something, her eyes widened, her mouth forming an "o," and she froze in place!

Before her, Venerable Kun Ling and Tianshang Supreme were both curiously watching her, making Xue’Er’s scalp tingle!

Demon Beasts have a perception of danger far surpassing that of human cultivators, and their sensitivity to the strength of powerful beings is even sharper, especially for Xue’Er of the fox race!

Just one glance at the two elders, despite their amiable smiles, the nearly imperceptible terrifying spiritual pressure they exuded caused the three-tailed fox demon, Xue’Er, to have her fur stand on end, experiencing unprecedented fear, as she hid behind Li Mu, shivering for comfort.

Seeing Xue’Er so timid, Li Mu couldn’t help but chuckle, gently patting her head, "Fear not, Xue’Er! These two highly respected elders won’t harm you."

Upon hearing this, the little fox demon couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, finally daring to lift her head and sneak a peek at the two seniors.

Tianshang Supreme stroked his beard and smiled, "So, you are a three-tailed fox demon from the Snow Fox Race of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range. Despite your young age, your talent is outstanding, and your bloodline must be remarkable! Little did I expect that our friend here would encounter such a Spirit Beast."

"The Snow Fox Race belongs to the demon race of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, holding a relatively high position among them. With strong strength and a naturally peaceful disposition, they’re not to be provoked by other clans!" Tianshang Supreme, well-versed in such matters, casually relayed some information about the fox demons.

Venerable Kun Ling also seemed to recognize the Snow Fox Race, sinking into memories and murmuring, "Friend, you truly have a chivalrous heart. But on the other hand, the fox demon race is a major demon clan. Hundreds of years ago, Venerable Qingwei and I traveled to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range and happened to encounter the Snow Fox Race. The fox demon race is naturally cunning and capricious, do not easily believe them. Old me and Qingwei were once deceived by them."

Saying this, Venerable Kun Ling seemed to recall some unfortunate memories, his expression pained, clearly showing how unforgettable that lesson was for him.

The Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range is sacred ground for the demon race, even the Eight Great Clans of the Central Continent don’t hold sway there. Venerable Kun Ling must have suffered significant losses!

A glint of curiosity flashed in Li Mu’s eyes, but he didn’t inquire further. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Thank you, seniors, I will..."

Li Mu smiled in gratitude, but meanwhile, the Xue’Er in his arms had recovered and, seeing the human experts disparage her race, immediately retorted with spiritual communication, "Compared to your human race, we fox demons are much more kind. When it comes to cunning, capriciousness, and heedless slaughter, that’s you humans!"

"This little fox demon, hahahaha!" Venerable Kun Ling was not angered by the retort but laughed, recalling when he and Venerable Qingwei tried to steal treasures from the fox demon clan in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, resulting in losses instead.

Now calling the thief to catch the thief, it’s somewhat embarrassing.

"Don’t speak nonsense, you should return first!"

Li Mu sighed with a bitter smile, hurriedly calling Xue’Er back into the Spirit-Taming Treasure Bracelet.

"If you wish to accompany us, then in twenty-five years, you may set out to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range with us," Tianshang Supreme candidly stated.

Hearing this, Li Mu immediately clasped his hands in thanks, "In that case, I thank you, senior."

"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about these things anymore, let’s continue drinking!" Venerable Kun Ling, having discovered the whereabouts of the Demon-Breaking Heart Fruit, was filled with a renewed sense of aspiration, his previous concerns diminishing.

As the sun set, Tianshang Supreme informed that the refining materials had been delivered to Li Mu.

In the pavilion, Tianshang Supreme smiled, handing a storage ring to Li Mu, "Friend, have a look at this small gift,"

"Thank you, senior!" Li Mu clasped his hands in thanks, taking the gift.

"One thousand pounds of Tier Six Ultimate Dark Xuan Stone, eight hundred pounds of Tier Six Profound Moon Heavy Iron, over two hundred pounds of Tier Six Purple Ice Water, Tier Six Western Moon Dye Wood..."

Li Mu was astounded even as he scanned through the items with his divine sense.

Tianshang Supreme had mentioned bestowing a ’high-tier refining material,’ but he hadn’t imagined it would be so high-class, all consisting of Tier Six Five Elements Refining Materials.

The quantity was several tons in weight, with a value comparable to the entire wealth of a medium-sized Sect.

Li Mu’s heart fluttered; once he ingests the Nine Yin Spirit Grass and Nine Yang Spirit Grass to enhance his spiritual energy, upgrading to Level 6 Refining Technique, he could fully use these Tier Six materials to refine a batch of Tier Six Spirit Treasures.

By then, his power would increase significantly, fearing none below the Refining Void.

However!

Li Mu furrowed his brow slightly, these Tier Six Refining Materials already exceeded the value of two array artifacts, not to mention the Spirit Seeds he needed, priceless treasures indeed.

This was truly a generous gift, yet so ’generous’ that Li Mu felt uneasy, unworthy to accept it.

Why was the Kun Family so generous? Such a large batch of Tier Six Refining Materials and Spirit Seeds cannot simply be a token of gratitude!

Li Mu had always adhered to the belief that windfalls rarely come without cost, often being the most expensive!

Anything out of the ordinary surely has its mysteries, Li Mu did not want to inexplicably accept such a ’generous gift’, attracting unnecessary troubles, so he returned the storage ring to Tianshang Supreme, politely refusing, "Elder Tian, for a mere trivial matter, the lavish gift you presented is too heavy, junior cannot accept!"
