I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 464 - 267: Turmoil Rising Again

The spiritual ship Li Mu envisioned didn’t need to be very large. However, it required speed, hidden breath, defensive effectiveness, and living attributes to be fulfilled, with life-saving capabilities being very strong. If it could have some combat power as well, that would be even better.

However, the attributes of these spiritual ships and warships were skewed in one direction, failing to completely satisfy him.

"Master Li, are none of these spiritual ships or warships to your liking?" Lin Baoqing noticed Li Mu’s expression and asked with concern.

"Hmm! The spiritual ships have different focal points; some focus on offense, others on speed, unable to fully meet my needs!" Li Mu nodded in response.

"What kind of spiritual ship do you need? I’ll help you find it!" Lin Baoqing nodded solemnly and quickly asked.

Li Mu nodded and expressed his desires.

Upon hearing this, Lin Baoqing couldn’t help but smile wryly and replied, "Master Li, your requirements are not high at all, but integrating them together would cost a fortune in shipbuilding spiritual materials, requiring a specialized shipbuilding master to customize it!"

"Oh! Is there a suitable shipbuilding master you can recommend?" Li Mu nodded and pursued the question.

"Certainly, if Master Li is willing to wait, our pavilion has shipbuilding masters, and there is also the Divine Dao Sect, which excels in ship crafting. You can commission them to refine one, but the cost of a custom spiritual ship is ten times that of a regular one, and the time is extraordinarily long, forty to fifty years is not considered lengthy." Lin Baoqing carefully introduced to Li Mu.

Upon hearing this, Li Mu frowned again, would it really take that long?

The price wasn’t something Li Mu was concerned with. By refining multiple tier six spiritual treasures, a spiritual ship could be obtained. However, he didn’t have the patience to wait such a long time.

Li Mu hesitated about whether to learn shipbuilding himself, and then, if he could promote himself to level six, he might attempt to refine an acceptable tier six spiritual ship himself.

If commissioning, he could only have a tier five spiritual ship refined, and he would have to wait for such a long time.

Thinking about the storage compartment that still contained a suitable tier seven spiritual material for shipbuilding - Luofu Primordial Magnet, Li Mu couldn’t help but feel tempted!

The idea in action, Li Mu changed his mind and began inquiring with Lin Baoqing about matters pertaining to shipbuilding spiritual materials.

...

Ten Thousand Demon Cave, Nine Demons Sect Headquarters.

Within a gigantic blood pool, Ancestor Wutian frantically absorbed the essence blood from the blood pool. The Bu Mie Louse Demon Armor on his body gave a ’satisfied burp’ as the demon qi subsided and successfully separated from him.

Ancestor Wutian’s face relaxed, and his pale complexion regained a hint of color. His disheveled silver hair gradually turned black, and his body became full again.

After approximately half an hour passed.

Ancestor Wutian flew out from the blood pool, and four waiting and serving graceful maidservants stepped forward, busying themselves with dressing him in the magic robe, tying the belt, and arranging his hairstyle.

"Congratulations on regaining your glorious form, Ancestor!"

Seven Demon Venerables received the notification and entered the hall simultaneously, bowing to offer their congratulations.

"How are things going!"

Ancestor Wutian, expressionless, looked at his subordinates and asked.

"Ancestor, the alliances of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, Taiyi Sect, and others have begun to gather, and it is estimated they will launch an attack on our sect headquarters by the end of the month." A red-haired Demon Venerable reported to Ancestor Wutian.

"Hmm! For now, avoid their sharp edge and instruct the disciples of the nine sects to prepare for evacuation. Once the Demon Armor Army reaches great success, we will show them our strength!" A glint of coldness flashed in Ancestor Wutian’s eyes as he issued his orders.

"Yes!"

The red-haired Demon Venerable gladly complied.

Ancestor Wutian suddenly looked toward the Tian Jue Demon Venerable and inquired, "Have you found out the traces of that person that I asked you to investigate?"

"I’ve been paying attention to him for quite a while. Here are all his traces collected for you to review, Demon Ancestor." Tian Jue Demon Venerable nodded solemnly, offering a blood-colored jade scroll with both hands.

Ancestor Wutian took the jade scroll and infused it with his divine sense to examine it carefully.

"The remnants of Spirit Taming Sect are tight-lipped, so a Soul Search was used, but it still couldn’t fully piece together his intelligence. This person is outstandingly talented, highly proficient in every cultivation technique he practices, and possesses extraordinary artifact refining talent, array formation skill, puppet refining, and spirit taming expertise, making him extremely difficult to deal with. He is currently hiding in Yin Yang Valley." A look of deep-seated hatred flashed in Tian Jue Demon Venerable’s eyes as he detailed the situation to Ancestor Wutian.

"Yin Yang Valley! What kind of place is that?" the red-haired Demon Venerable curiously asked.

"Yin Yang Valley is a peculiar place located near Desolate Ancient City," Tian Jue Demon Venerable replied.

"Desolate Ancient City has a large number of Central Continent Alliance troops. Full-force confrontation with him might not be feasible! Is there a way to lure him out?" Another Demon Venerable with a facial twitch suggested.

"Of course, according to our mole in Spirit Taming Sect, this person is currently seeking the Purple Melody Celestial Fire of Baili Sect, and as it happens, the Purple Melody Celestial Fire has fallen into our hands. Last time, Xuanlingzi of Hundred Refinements Sect escaped, so he must have some means to track the Purple Melody Celestial Fire." Tian Jue Demon Venerable nodded with satisfaction, glancing at Yan Ming Demon Venerable.

As soon as Tian Jue Demon Venerable finished speaking, everyone looked at Yan Ming Demon Venerable to confirm that the Purple Melody Celestial Fire was indeed in his hands.

"This fire is extraordinarily powerful, and I have not yet been able to tame it!" Yan Ming Demon Venerable replied apologetically as he looked at everyone.

"Hand it over!" Ancestor Wutian reached towards Yan Ming Demon Venerable asking for it.

Yan Ming Demon Venerable dared not disobey, carefully taking out a jade bottle and offering it with both hands.

Ancestor Wutian reached out and seized the jade bottle, opening the stopper.

As soon as the stopper was opened, a surge of blazing purple flame burst from the bottle’s mouth, its momentum like a rainbow, seemingly intent on purging all impurity and darkness from the world. It was an anger from the Heavenly Dao, carrying endless majesty and righteousness, seeking to incinerate all ugliness and uncleanliness of this Demon Cave.

Facing the Purple Melody Celestial Fire, Ancestor Wutian did not take it lightly, having been prepared, with a wave of his hand, the Demon Array inside the hall began to operate. It was an array formed by gathering thousands of demon qi, powerful enough to counter this purple fire.

The blood qi gushing from the blood pool, with its potent death and evil aura, surged toward enveloping the Purple Melody Celestial Fire.

The eerie blood qi gathered by the Demon Array, and the vast righteous qi of the Purple Melody Celestial Fire were starkly opposed. The Purple Melody Celestial Fire’s power was extremely terrifying, inherently restraining all demon qi and evil qi.

However, this was the Nine Demons Sect headquarters, the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, where the demon qi was so dense that even the air seemed to solidify. The operation of the Grand Array further gathered endless demon qi, forming an evil power that surpassed the Celestial Fire.

With the blood pool nearby, filled with bloodthirsty and filthy aura, and several Demon Venerables, along with a Demon Ancestor enhancing it, even though the Purple Melody Celestial Fire was incredibly powerful, it was difficult to withstand.

Before long, the Dao origin spirituality of the Purple Melody Celestial Fire was revealed. It was a majesty and righteousness from the Heavenly Dao, forming a stark contrast with the evil aura in this Ten Thousand Demon Cave. However, before this powerful evil force, the Purple Melody Celestial Fire’s power appeared so slender and weak.

Ancestor Wutian uncovered the hidden means within the Purple Melody Celestial Fire and immediately drove the Fire Absorption Bottle in his hand to collect the Purple Melody Celestial Fire.

Once the Purple Melody Celestial Fire disappeared, the terrifying heat within the Demon Hall didn’t disperse immediately. Several Demon Venerables present couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief as the intensely hot Purple Melody Celestial Fire had exerted considerable pressure on them.

"This fire is indeed marked with a Soul Tracking Technique from Hundred Refinements Sect, but he seems to already possess a Celestial Fire. Will this one be able to lure him?" Ancestor Wutian looked towards Tian Jue Demon Venerable with concern.

"Yes, according to our intel, the artifact refining method he practices is quite unusual and requires the cooperation of several Celestial Fires!" Tian Jue Demon Venerable affirmed.

"Excellent!" Ancestor Wutian nodded with satisfaction, throwing the jade bottle back to Yan Ming Demon Venerable. Looking around at those present, he spoke viciously, "This person must die. Prepare a trap, and there must be no further mishaps. I don’t want to see any more losses on your side, understood?"

After a pause, Ancestor Wutian gazed seriously at the Demon Venerables, issuing a stern warning, "The number of Demon Venerables killed by this person is not small - Si Ze, Nine Netherworld, Jiu Gu, Xue Tu, ..., all fallen because of him. Be serious, and make sure every aspect is foolproof!"

"We, your subordinates, will obey!" All the Demon Venerables responded in unison, trembling with a sense of immediacy.
