I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm-Chapter 362 - 222: Repelling the Cultivators (Part 2)

Chapter 362: Chapter 222: Repelling the Cultivators (Part 2)

The Tier Five Gu Spirit Insect born from the Thousand-Stealing Spirit, after absorbing a large amount of Blood God Gu Essence Blood, underwent a life form leap, absorbing abundant Divine Soul, growing beyond its limit, and successfully crossing the thunder tribulation. The Illusion Gu Spirit Insect is hard to damage with blade or sword, its soul difficult to extinguish, a nemesis of Yin Soul-type lifeforms, adept at illusionary soul-type cultivation techniques, living on souls.

Having seen Xiaobai’s status information, Li Mu was immediately relieved. Xiaobai had not fallen under the thunder tribulation, which was really great!

Once the tribulation dew ceased descending, Li Mu quickly flew over, collecting Xiaobai into the Spirit-Taming Treasure Bracelet to allow it to recover well inside.

"Master, is Xiaobai okay?" Xiaojin flew to Li Mu’s side, asking with concern.

"It’s fine. Xiaobai successfully crossed the tribulation, but its Divine Soul was hurt by the thunder tribulation and will need some time to recover." Li Mu looked back at Xiaojin, explaining with a smile to all the spirit-tamed beasts.

"That’s wonderful! A Tier Six Insect Spirit successfully crossing the tribulation, congratulations to Master for gaining a powerful assistant." The Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape congratulated Li Mu.

"Mm! You can all go back!" Li Mu nodded with a smile, saying he intended to collect Xiaojin, Xiaowa, and the Cyan Moon Flood Dragon into the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, preparing to leave this troubled place.

However, just then, Li Mu suddenly recalled how the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion had absorbed the dragon-shaped spiritual vein, triggering the descent of the thunder penalty, which was followed by Xiaobai’s awakening that induced the thunder tribulation.

Li Mu changed his mind, collecting all four spirit-tamed beasts into the Spirit-Taming Treasure Bracelet, then quickly tidied up the battlefield and released the Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship, riding the spirit ship back to the Yin Yang Valley.

The Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship sped through the air, traveling at a breathtaking pace,

In the ship’s cabin, Li Mu summoned the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion to examine the changes it had undergone after absorbing the dragon-shaped spiritual vein, which surprisingly led to a thunder penalty.

At Li Mu’s summon, the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion revealed its true form: a jade-green Spirit Artifact, emitting crisp and clear green spiritual light.

[Painting Realm Treasure Mansion]

[Grade: Tier Seven Grotto Heaven Spiritual Treasure]

[Attributes: Size at Will, Trap and Confine Enemies, Gathering Spirit (forming a small world within itself), a thousand acres of Spirit Field, Devouring Elemental Spirit Refinement.]

[Status: Great Increase in Spiritual Energy, Artifact Spirit in Evolution.]

The treasure was refined from Profound Mother Divine Stone, Ten Thousand Flowers Divine Marrow, Void Spirit Boundary Stone, and Tier Eight Daoist Soldier Fragments with Eightfold Celestial Fire. This treasure forms a miniature world within itself, consuming vast spiritual objects, producing spiritual qi a hundredfold. It can lure enemies into a contained world, suppress their cultivation, steal their essence, refine their spirit, swallows the dragon-shaped spiritual vein, breaking through the limits, artifact evolving, requiring a substantial amount of high-tier spiritual materials, casting Dao Foundation material, re-establishing the attributes of Grotto Heaven, failing the promotion will damage the artifact spirit.

The detailed attributes of the Tier Seven Cave Mansion Spiritual Treasure - Painting Realm Treasure Mansion were revealed under the Innate Divine Power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits.

After devouring the dragon-shaped spiritual vein, it unexpectedly triggered an opportunity for the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion to promote in tier, a truly rare and fortuitous event.

Li Mu was overjoyed after viewing the status attributes of the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, extremely delighted.

However, it requires a large amount of high-tier spiritual materials, and materials for the Dao Foundation, if the promotion fails, it will damage the artifact spirit, ..., it is relatively easier to acquire a large quantity of high-tier spiritual materials, but where to find a material for the Dao Foundation? This is quite troublesome!

It’s a bit difficult!

Li Mu’s smile faded, his brow furrowed, pondering how to solve this problem.

The next moment, Li Mu extended his Divine Sense into the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, searching for suitable spiritual objects to invest in the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, looking for any suitable Dao Foundation material.

Li Mu’s Divine Sense swept over various high-tier spiritual objects: Tier Seven Spiritual Object - Star Beast Relic Pearl, Tier Seven Spirit Ore - Meteor Crystal Core, Tier Six Spirit Rhythm Profound Turtle Shell, Tier Six - Celestial Void Tripod, Tier Six Soul-Devouring Wall, ...,

The high-tier spiritual objects and treasures Li Mu had collected far exceeded those of Divinity Transformation Cultivators, even the wealth of a large sect could not compare to his collection. However, none of them were suitable spiritual objects for the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion to re-establish its Dao Foundation and continue its tier promotion.

To Li Mu, the Tier Seven Cave Mansion Spiritual Treasure - Painting Realm Treasure Mansion is an extremely important spiritual object. With it, planting Spirit Plants becomes safe and simple, and if it can promote in tier and re-establish the attributes of Grotto Heaven, it is a rare opportunity.

Li Mu’s heart thumped as his Divine Sense fell on a Tier Six Spiritual Treasure, giving rise to a thought, and although he hesitated, he soon decided.

Li Mu reached out and summoned the Five Elements Spirit Mountain from the storage compartment.

A small five-colored mountain the size of a fist floated quietly before him, shimmering with lively Five Elements Spiritual Light, full of spiritual energy.

[Five Elements Spirit Mountain]

[Grade: Tier Six Spiritual Treasure]

[Attributes: Size at Will, Self-Reconstructing Ridge, Five Elements Transformation, Five Elements Spirit Realm, Five Elements Solidification, Five Elements Array Core.]

[Status: Artifact Spirit Rebirth, Spiritual Completion]

Made from a large number of Five Elements Spiritual Objects as a foundation, it was forged with Extreme Yang Celestial Fire into a Five Elements Artifact Base, spontaneously performing the Five Elements, granting rebirth to remnants of the soul, forming its own Five Elements Spirit Realm, weighing seventy million five hundred pounds, size at will, self-reconstructing mass, spanning ten miles with its Five Elements Spirit Realm, once supplemented with abundant high-tier Five Elements spiritual objects, it has a high chance to advance to Tier Seven Dao Artifact.

Under the Innate Divine Power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, all attributes of the Five Elements Spirit Mountain were presented before Li Mu’s eyes.

The refining process of the Tier Six Spiritual Treasure - Five Elements Spirit Mountain was full of coincidences and opportunities, with Li Mu barely intervening, said to be crafted by heaven and earth itself. Therefore, it possesses a robust and firm Five Elements Dao Foundation, having great potential to become a Dao Artifact.

This Tier Six Spiritual Treasure - Five Elements Spirit Mountain, only needs a bit more nurturing, and not in a hundred years it could potentially promote to a Tier Seven Dao Artifact, extremely precious.

If the Five Elements Spirit Mountain were to be refined into the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, further supported by a lot of Five Elements spiritual objects, the success rate of the Tier Seven Cave Mansion Spiritual Treasure’s promotion would increase significantly. If the Five Elements Spirit Mountain alone is insufficient, within the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, a Sword Mountain could be established, placing over a thousand Spirit Swords into the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion to aid its ascension.

Looking at the vibrant Five Elements Spirit Mountain, a trace of reluctance passed through Li Mu’s eyes.

This Five Elements Spirit Mountain suits his attributes too well, with its reinforcement in casting Five Elements Spirit Realm, his combat power can be multiplied. Refining it into the Painting Realm Treasure is a pity if this attribute is lost.

However, in comparison to an Eightfold-tier Cave Mansion Spiritual Treasure, the value of a Seven-tier Dao Artifact - Five Elements Spirit Mountain still falls short.

Refining the Five Elements Spirit Mountain into the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion can elevate the Five Elements Spiritual Power’s purity within the Cave Mansion world, allowing a substantial increase in the efficiency and quantity of planting Five Elements Spirit Plants in the upgraded Painting Realm Treasure Mansion.

Being able to plant more Five Elements Spirit Plants and accelerate their growth is a function far more crucial than merely boosting combat power!

Understanding the trade-offs, Li Mu was well aware of what choice he had to make.

After a brief deliberation, Li Mu immediately made up his mind and then infused spiritual power into the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, taking in the Five Elements Spirit Mountain with a swift ’whoosh’ into the Treasure Mansion World.

Li Mu released the Five Elements Spirit Mountain from his refinement and catalyzed the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion to absorb and refine it.

The artifact spirit of the Five Elements Spirit Mountain sensed the danger, its form expanded rapidly, surging upwards, intending to break free from the world of the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion.

However, Li Mu intervened to suppress it, with a wave controlling the artifact array targeting the Five Elements Spirit Mountain, rendering it unable to control the array.

"Boom!" With a loud crash, the Five Elements Spirit Mountain heavily fell to the ground, losing control over itself under Li Mu’s suppression.

The artifact spirit of the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion swiftly acted, gathering Five Elements spiritual items, soil, and vegetation rapidly enveloped the Five Elements Spirit Mountain, intending to refine it into part of the Treasure Mansion world. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The Five Elements Spirit Mountain trembled violently, stones falling one by one as if realizing its unfortunate fate, agonizingly ’crying,’ heartbroken at being ’abandoned’ by its master.

Observing this scene, a sigh escaped Li Mu’s lips, his expression a little gloomy. The artifact spirit of a Tier Six Spiritual Treasure is akin to a living being, and feeding it to the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion indeed seemed a bit cruel. However, if the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion could successfully promote in tier, it would all be worth it.

Time ticked away and under the assault of the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, the artifact spirit of the Five Elements Spirit Mountain lost its spirituality. The vast spirit mountain became part of the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, radiating a brilliant, full-bodied Five Elements Spiritual Light, and the entire Cave Mansion world saw a several-times increase in the concentration and quality of the Five Elements Spiritual Power it emitted.

Li Mu closed his eyes slightly, connecting his Divine Sense to the artifact spirit of the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, sensing the enhancements following the refinement of the Five Elements Spirit Mountain and the abilities it acquired.
