I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 485 - 276: The Fox Race’s Upheaval

After contemplating for a moment, Li Mu felt an ominous sensation in his heart.

If what Venerable Qingwei said was true, then with their status as "mortals", participating in the battles between the divine and demonic, gods and immortals, there might not be any chance of victory.

Seeing Li Mu’s serious expression, Venerable Qingwei couldn’t help but sigh.

"These messages were actually inadvertently leaked by Steward Fang. Perhaps there’s a solution in the Central State, but in our South Wilderness Spirit Realm... let’s forget it."

"It’s better not to mention it. Master Li, last time I wanted to ask for your help in refining a Spirit Treasure, but due to the lack of Spiritual Materials, I had to give up."

"Now I’ve saved enough Spiritual Materials. Could you help me refine a Tier Six Magical Treasure?"

As he spoke, a look of anticipation grew on the face of Venerable Qingwei.

He was well aware of Venerable Xuanling’s strength. The reason why he could excel in the battle against the Nine Demons Sect was closely linked to the Spirit Treasures refined by Li Mu.

Many have strength on par with Venerable Xuanling, and there are quite a few who possess Tier Six Spirit Treasures and bear deep hatred toward the Nine Demons Sect.

But among those carrying these three conditions, even if there are not a hundred, at least there are more than a dozen.

Yet only Venerable Xuanling caught the attention of the Nine Demons Sect’s Demon Ancestor; the sole difference was the Tier Six Spirit Treasure!

The Tier Six Spirit Treasure refined by Li Mu was far stronger than the others, which is why Venerable Xuanling shone so brightly.

Venerable Qingwei exchanged all the battle merits gained from the campaign for the high-tier Spiritual Materials necessary for refining a Spirit Treasure. At the first opportunity, he sought Li Mu to refine the Spirit Treasure. As a Refining Void Great Power, possessing only a Tier Six Spirit Treasure that didn’t match his Spirit Root Attribute was indeed beneath his status.

After speaking, Venerable Qingwei handed a Storage Ring to Li Mu with both hands.

"Sure, Elder, what kind of functions do you want for the Spirit Treasure?" Li Mu happily accepted the Spiritual Materials and asked with a smile.

Venerable Qingwei quickly detailed the functions of the Spirit Treasure. As he possessed a Wind-type Strange Spirit Root, he wanted to refine a wind-type Spirit Treasure with functions such as speed, clones, and illusions, and the provided Artifact Refining materials were also high-tier Wind element materials.

"Alright, Elder, I understand. However, I am planning to go out for a while. Come to Yin Yang Valley to find me in a month!" Li Mu noted down the functions of the Spirit Treasure and replied while looking at Venerable Qingwei.

"Okay!" Venerable Qingwei, fully confident in Li Mu’s abilities, nodded in agreement.

After watching Venerable Qingwei leave, Li Mu stood up, took Xue’Er, and piloted the Earth Element Spirit Ship towards the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range.

The secret known by Venerable Qingwei originated from the Profound Celestial Sword Sect and the Taiyi Sect, and the plan to head to the Central State had been placed on the agenda. If the future unfolded exactly as he foresaw, the destruction of the South Wilderness Spirit Realm would be almost a certainty.

He needed to do something before that happened.

Li Mu felt somewhat heavy-hearted. Xiaojin and Xiaowa had not returned for a long time, ...

The Earth Element Spirit Ship moved like lightning, and the next day it appeared at the edge of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range.

Aboard the Earth Element Spirit Ship, Li Mu stood alone at the ship’s prow, gazing towards the deep mountains.

"Lord Li, it’s cold outside. I brought you a coat."

Xue’Er approached cautiously, holding a coat.

Li Mu took it casually, glancing at Xue’Er.

Her face no longer held the joy it had at the start of the journey, now filled with worry.

The Demon Race had a keen intuition. Although there were no messages at present, Xue’Er’s reaction was not a good sign.

Li Mu comforted her.

"The Nine Demons Sect has been quite active lately. The Snow Fox Race may just be keeping a low profile temporarily, which is why they haven’t shown up."

"Moreover, the various Demon Races aren’t to be trifled with. Even our Human Race would rather not engage with them. It’s probably just a special period, don’t worry!"

Hearing this, Xue’Er hesitated for a moment but silently nodded.

Along the way, there weren’t many high-tier Demon Beasts in sight.

Xue’Er had a foreboding feeling, a kind of inexplicable intuition.

"I don’t know, I just feel a bit uneasy inside."

Li Mu climbed to the ship’s prow to fully release his Divine Thought, searching for any suspicious traces along the way.

But nothing was discovered at present.

Other than the surroundings being slightly quieter with fewer low-tier Demon Beasts, there was nothing unusual. However, this was precisely the most worrying part because they had entered the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range.

Seeing Xue’Er’s depressed and despondent demeanor, Li Mu sighed and pulled her into the cabin, introducing the functions of the Earth Element Spirit Ship one by one to divert her attention.

The Earth Element Spirit Ship flew at full speed and soon entered the depths of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, heading straight to the Snow Fox Race territory-Snow Cloud Mountain.

About to meet Elder Jin Ling, Li Mu pondered over what gift to bring. However, his expanding Divine Sense detected an anomaly outside, where it ’saw’ devastation!

Almost every mountain peak bore countless pits and craters, vast areas of ruined trees, rocks scattered everywhere, with a faint scent of blood lingering in the air.

It was clear a fierce battle had taken place here.

The Demon Race had already been in a great battle, and from the traces left here, no clues could be discerned.

There wasn’t a single corpse left, such a bizarre situation led Li Mu to one possibility.

Demon Abyss.

At this thought, Li Mu dared not ponder further.

The Earth Element Spirit Ship crossed into this battlefield at dawn, and by midday, everywhere Li Mu looked, it still remained a pockmarked battlefield.

It was as if stepping into some ancient-time wilderness, devoid of any living creatures, not even a single bird or beast to be seen.

Li Mu had long activated the defensive mechanisms of the Earth Element Spirit Ship, extending his consciousness to its limits, cautiously guarding his surroundings.
