I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 507 - 286: Xiaobai Unleashes Its Power

"Buzz, buzz!"

Spirit Swords embedded on the mountain-shaped Spiritual Treasure suddenly chimed in unison, a sharp Sword Domain unfolding from the Spiritual Ship and augmenting the Spirit Swords.

The Spirit Swords on the mountain-shaped Spiritual Treasure consecutively ’unsheathed’, the sound of sword resonating swiftly through the sky.

Thousands of highly spiritual Tier Four and Tier Five Spirit Swords circled the Cyan Hill, swiftly transforming into a giant Sword Dragon. This Sword Dragon was agile and nimble, its Sword Aura sharp, directly pointing at Ancestor Yin Jiong.

Sword Qi roared, Spirit Light surged, it seemed that the entire heaven and earth were left with only this formidable Sword Dragon.

The next moment, the Sword Dragon suddenly charged toward Ancestor Yin Jiong, unstoppable.

Ancestor Yin Jiong’s scalp tingled, instantly transforming into a shadow to hastily evade, thousands of Spirit Swords blended together, following closely.

Under the pursuit of the Sword Dragon, Ancestor Yin Jiong twisted and turned, trying everything to evade, yet the thousands of Spirit Swords seemed to have locked onto him, following relentlessly, the chase never ending. No matter how he dodged, the Sword Dragon was always right behind him, like a shadow that would not relent.

Witnessing this scene, Ancestor Xueming, stuck in a stalemate with the Five Elements Array, stared wide-eyed, almost disbelieving. He couldn’t believe what his eyes were seeing; a dignified Void Refining Cultivator was actually being chased in such a manner, unable to counter a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s Flying Sword.

Despite the abundance of Flying Swords!

"Damn Xueming, what kind of existence did you provoke!"

As Ancestor Yin Jiong evaded embarrassingly, anger surged within him; his meticulously cultivated Fierce Ghost Army was wiped out, and like Xueming, he was now being chased by thousands of Spirit Swords forming a Sword Dragon, with nowhere to escape.

Inside the cabin of the Earth Element Spirit Ship, Li Mu’s face was completely pale, showing signs of spiritual power exhaustion. While maintaining the Five Elements Array with the four beast companions, he manipulated the Earth Element Spirit Ship, and simultaneously controlled Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, hunting the Void Refining Powerhouse, the consumption of spiritual power and divine thought far exceeded the capability of a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.

Even though he had countless sharp techniques, his cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul Stage, unable to sustain prolonged combat with Void Refining Powerhouses, let alone deal with two of them simultaneously.

"No, this cannot continue!"

Li Mu turned his mind, immediately deciding to change his strategy. Through the Spirit Taming Contract Seal, he connected with Xiaojin and the others, preparing for a strategic retreat, simultaneously gathering the Spirit Swords to recall Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, while manipulating the Earth Element Spirit Ship to fully amass Primordial Magnetic Power, ready for retreat at any time.

Caught within the Five Elements Array and struggling bitterly, Ancestor Xueming looked at Ancestor Yin Jiong’s embarrassing plight, his heart burning with urgency and anxiety.

Suddenly, Ancestor Xueming felt the pressure on him lighten, the suppressed Blood Element Realm was restored, and the confining force of the Five Elements Array suddenly dissipated.

He then noticed the Sword Dragon chasing Ancestor Yin Jiong turn its direction, all returning to chase after the fleeing Tier Six Spirit Ship, immediately understanding.

"Yin Jiong, stop running, that kid is faltering, hurry and chase!"

Ancestor Xueming’s spirit lifted, immediately transforming into a blood shadow, pursuing the rapidly escaping Earth Element Spirit Ship.

Ancestor Yin Jiong’s eyes flashed coldly, without the slightest hesitation, he followed as a shadow.

The disgrace of having the Fierce Ghost Army exterminated and being chased by thousands of Spirit Swords was deeply felt by Ancestor Yin Jiong.

Ancestor Xueming’s eyes were blood-red, feeling the same way. Being trapped in the Five Elements Array by a mere Nascent Soul youngster, almost facing demise.

This child must not live! He will definitely become a heart demon in their lives!

"Two seniors, if you don’t let go, don’t blame me for using harsh tactics!"

Relentlessly pursuing Ancestor Xueming and Ancestor Yin Jiong simultaneously heard Li Mu’s divine thought transmission.

"Boy, at death’s door and still daring to brag. Once I catch you, I’ll peel your skin, break your bones, extract your soul, and refine a lantern, tormenting you for thousands of years!" Ancestor Xueming responded, his fury raging.

"Boy, if you have the guts, stop running, use whatever technique you have." Ancestor Yin Jiong’s divine thought pierced, taunting.

The Earth Element Spirit Ship dashed at full speed, behind it, a black and a red shadow followed closely, rapidly closing the distance.

Inside the Earth Element Spirit Ship, Li Mu multitasked, while controlling the Earth Element Spirit Ship to run at full speed, he also took out several pill bottles, popping Tier Five Spirit Pills like candy into his mouth, the Perfection Level Spirit Devouring Body Nourishing Technique operating at full capacity, digesting the medicinal power, restoring the depleted spiritual essence and divine thought.

"If those two old men continue the chase, half an hour later, the Earth Element Spirit Ship will run out of spiritual power and be caught by them! Next, we’ll have to face a fierce battle." Li Mu signaled to the beast companions.

Although the Earth Element Spirit Ship could draw geomagnetic elemental power to compensate digestion, the preceding battle drained the Magnetic Elemental Spirit Cannon and Magnetic Element Shield, which the ship’s recovery couldn’t replenish; both the ship’s full speed and spirit stones were consumed.

"Ginseng King, take this Tier Six Wood Spirit Treasure for refinement. Next, I’ll inscribe a contract seal on you. During the coming battle, confront one of the Void Refining Cultivators, handle it tightly, while I’ll focus on stalling the other." Li Mu wiped the Tier Six Wooden Staff with his hand, removed his divine sense, and handed it to the Cyan Jade Ginseng King, explaining solemnly.

Cyan Jade Ginseng King hesitated slightly but understood the importance of the Contract Seal, immediately taking the Wood Element Treasure with a bow, replying, "Master, I’ve devoted myself fully, can this Contract Seal be spared?"

Li Mu waved it off with a smile, "Don’t misunderstand, the purpose of inscribing the Contract Seal is to convey the Array Formation Technique of the Five Elements Array. After the battle, this Contract Seal can be lifted for you."

Upon saying this, his gaze turned to the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon, Xiaojin and the others, promising solemnly: "The same goes for you. As long as you swear by your Dao Heart to protect my path for a thousand years, I’ll lift the Contract Seal for you as well."

With Plant Spirit Absorption, a thousand years was enough to elevate Li Mu into the Refining Void Realm or even higher, the Beast Companions surely unable to keep pace; then he’d grant them freedom by removing the Contract Seal.

"Thank you, Master!" The Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon looked at Li Mu excitedly and swore its Dao Heart oath, "If I’m not loyal, may my body and Dao perish!" The thorn embedded deep in its heart vanished instantly.

The Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon had already reached Tier Six Peak cultivation but, due to having Li Mu’s Spirit Taming Contract Seal affixed to its divine soul, it couldn’t advance further, unable to cross the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation and promote to Tier Seven True Dragon.

Now, with Li Mu’s clear words, the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon no longer clung to concerns about the Contract Seal, nor did it hesitate to bring up contract termination.

"I’m willing to protect Master’s path, not just for a thousand years, but forever, I wish to always follow Master!"

"I will too!"

Xiaojin, Xiaowa, and Chi Lian Fire Phoenix declared sincerely, their gaze unyielding. Raised by Li Mu since young, always shielded meticulously, the Spirit Taming Contract Seal mattered not; they’d never considered leaving.

"Okay!" Li Mu nodded in satisfaction, urging to Cyan Jade Ginseng King, "Time is tight, let’s not delay anymore. First, I’ll inscribe the Contract Seal on you, imparting the Five Elements Array and quick refinement techniques for the Tier Six Spirit Treasure."

Cyan Jade Ginseng King nodded, no longer refusing.

Li Mu performed the technique for Spirit Taming Contract Seal, dividing a trace of his divine soul, inscribing the seal on Cyan Jade Ginseng King’s divine soul, then activating the Contract Seal divine technique—Spirit Transmission Technique, conveying the Five Elements Array and rapid refinement experience of Tier Six Spiritual Treasures to Cyan Jade Ginseng King.

Receiving Li Mu’s impartation, Cyan Jade Ginseng King quickly refined the Tier Six Wood Spirit Staff.

"Master, arranging the Five Elements Array is quite complex, time is so pressing, I fear I might not perform well in the battle ahead!" Cyan Jade Ginseng King said anxiously, looking at Li Mu with a worried face.

Li Mu smiled slightly, full of confidence, "Don’t worry about that. In the upcoming battle, I’ll use the Contract Seal Coexistence Technique to guide you in array formation combat. Then, just relax and fully cooperate with me!"

"Yes, all thanks to Master’s secret guidance that we can skillfully perform the Five Elements Array and harmonize seamlessly!" Xiaojin chimed in.

"Indeed, indeed! Rest assured, those two old ghosts are doomed this time!" Xiaowa nodded repeatedly, speaking with confidence.

All beast companions nodded uniformly, full of fighting spirit, eating Spirit Pills to quickly recover mana.

"Xiaobai, is it okay?" At that moment, Xue’Er watched Xiaobai, whose head was drooping, seemingly drowsy and about to sleep, asking worriedly.

Li Mu glanced at Xiaobai and laughed, "No worries, it’s stuffed itself, it’ll need sleep to digest."

Once his voice fell, Li Mu waved his hand, storing Xiaobai into the Spirit-Taming Treasure Bracelet, releasing his divine sense, focusing on the two shadows relentlessly pursuing the Earth Element Spirit Ship.

A fierce battle was about to begin!
