I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 500 - 283: Tribulation Crossing of the Ginseng King

To ensure that the Five Elements Beast - Cyan Jade Ginseng King can pass the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation, Li Mu made thorough preparations in advance, using the principle of a Faraday lightning protection ball to refine a three-layer lightning protection ball for it with a more complex and safer structure.

In addition, there is one shield and one short staff, two Tier Six Spiritual Treasures, including a simple small round shield that seems ordinary, but has countless artifact patterns and thunder protection runes engraved on it. Each rune generates a shield used to reduce the power of celestial thunder.

The other item is a short staff engraved with various exotic beast patterns, the most striking being a Spirit Deer, carved so lifelike it seems it could leap off the staff at any moment.

The Hundred Demons Soul-Calling Staff is refined from the essence souls of hundreds of high-tier demon beasts. Each essence soul summoned can offset the damage of one tribulation thunder to the divine soul.

In addition, there are high-tier spirit pills for recovering wood essence and defense thunder talismans for resisting lightning and thunder, ... Li Mu spared no effort to prepare a wealth of resources to maximize the Cyan Jade Ginseng King’s chances of surviving the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation.

While Li Mu was preparing for the Cyan Jade Ginseng King’s tribulation crossing, the Cyan Jade Ginseng King continued cultivating, its aura growing increasingly strong, seeming to recover to its peak state.

A large amount of Wood and Earth Essence Qi and Profound Wood Essence were continuously absorbed by it, making its aura stronger and stronger. These essences of heaven and earth not only rapidly improved its cultivation but also pushed it towards higher realms.

Time continued to pass, and with the assistance of the power of time, the Cyan Jade Ginseng King returned to its full peak state. However, feeling the terrifying thunder tribulation condensing, enveloping its heart, the child’s face it had transformed into couldn’t hide its fear.

It already sensed outside the Grotto Heaven Treasure that the terrifying thunder tribulation began to condense, like a massive dark cloud looming overhead. The child’s face that the Cyan Jade Ginseng King had transformed into could no longer conceal its inner fear—an instinctual, deep fear that it couldn’t resist despite thousands of years of cultivation.

Seeing the Cyan Jade Ginseng King pale and trembling, Li Mu hurriedly took out the tribulation crossing spiritual objects he had prepared for it.

"This is the thunder protection spiritual artifact, spirit pills, ... I prepared for you. Don’t underestimate this lightning protection device. If you refine it and stay inside, it can help you avoid the most damaging body-destroying thunder in the first few waves ..." Li Mu handed the lightning protection device to the Cyan Jade Ginseng King, explaining and introducing it in detail.

"Do these thunder protection spiritual artifacts really have such strong capabilities? You’re not tricking me, are you!"

"Don’t dare trick me! If it’s ineffective, I will die!"

"I will die!"

The Cyan Jade Ginseng King looked at Li Mu expectantly. Its frightened body couldn’t help but shiver as it clung tightly to the tribulation-crossing treasure, constantly seeking confirmation.

Seeing its greedy-for-life yet fear-stricken demeanor, Li Mu found it exasperating, loudly scolding: "Hurry up and refine them, remember well the thunder protection methods I taught you, or you will truly die!"

Terrified by Li Mu’s words, the Cyan Jade Ginseng King turned pale and immediately followed his teachings, beginning to refine the lightning protection devices in its hands, mastering their functions.

Seeing the Cyan Jade Ginseng King calm down and focus on mastering the thunder protection spiritual artifacts, Li Mu’s figure flashed as he left the treasure mansion space.

Next, Li Mu took the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion away from Yin Yang Valley, preparing to go to a location chosen for the Cyan Jade Ginseng King’s tribulation crossing to prevent affecting Yin Yang Valley.

Watching the thickening thunderclouds overhead as he moved, Li Mu knew the time was just about right. If delayed any longer, even the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion would suffer, implicated by the Cyan Jade Ginseng King.

In the next moment, Li Mu waved his hand to summon the Cyan Jade Ginseng King from the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion.

Upon appearing, the Cyan Jade Ginseng King immediately felt the thick thunder tribulation aura overhead, looking at the rapidly gathering thunderclouds above, shrinking its head, its body couldn’t help but tremble, with its child-like face filled with dread!

Seven-Nine Thunder Tribulation! Its True Spirit Thunder Tribulation!

It’s over!

This is really the end!

Overwhelmed by fear and despair, the Cyan Jade Ginseng King had absolutely no will to resist.

"Cowering before the fight! This thunder tribulation spells certain death for you, Ginseng King. You’ve been hiding for thousands of years, are you going to continue evading?" Li Mu’s voice was cold, questioning with disappointment: "I’ve made so many preparations for your tribulation crossing, now is the time to fight for survival. If this moment isn’t seized, when else?"

The Cyan Jade Ginseng King looked up at Li Mu, eyes full of bitterness and reluctance. It knew in its heart it had avoided the thunder tribulation for thousands of years, and now there was indeed no avoiding it. Yet facing the frightening thunder tribulation, it couldn’t summon the courage.

Li Mu sighed internally at the sight, understanding that the Cyan Jade Ginseng King’s fear of death stemmed from the postnatal nature of spiritual flora. Nonetheless, it can’t be allowed to keep escaping; otherwise, it truly won’t survive this True Spirit Thunder Tribulation.

"Ginseng King, if you shrink back now, there’s only one path: death. The path of cultivation is defying the heavens; how can there be no tribulation? This tribulation cannot be avoided—you’ve been locked onto by the thunder tribulation and can’t escape anymore. Follow my guidance; if you can endure this tribulation, you will." Li Mu’s voice, though low, was full of authority.

The Cyan Jade Ginseng King looked up at Li Mu, a hint of hope flashing in its eyes, gradually removing the fear from its face. It knew Li Mu spoke the truth.

At this moment, the thunder tribulation had formed, the arrow was on the string! If a fight isn’t put up, death was certain!
