I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 728: Chapter 390: City of Ten Thousand Treasures

Li Mu gathered his five Beast Companions, including the Cyan Moon True Dragon and Cyan Jade Ginseng King, to discuss the upcoming expedition to the Secret Realm, instructing them to guard him closely.

"Great! Master, it’s been a while since we last moved around." The Jade-Eyed Golden Ape was the first to jump up excitedly, its jade eyes shimmering with excitement, and its golden fur shining brilliantly in the sunlight.

"Master, why not bring Xue’Er along! If she learns of this, she will surely be upset. She might follow our trail and come after us, and unexpected accidents could occur." The Ink Jade Rock Lizard reminded.

Upon hearing this, Li Mu furrowed his brows. That was indeed his plan, as the journey to the Secret Realm contained certain dangers; hence he didn’t intend to bring Xue’Er. However, after Xiaowa’s suggestion, he realized that if Xue’Er found out and followed their trail, it could lead to other unforeseen mishaps.

"Yes, Master, please bring Miss Xue’Er! She has also passed her Transformation Thunder Tribulation, and she might be able to lend a hand." The Chi Lian Fire Phoenix urged as well.

"Alright! Xiaojin, go and ask Xue’Er to come." Li Mu pondered for a moment, nodded, and immediately instructed the Jade-Eyed Golden Ape to find Xue’Er.

With the command given, the Jade-Eyed Golden Ape vanished from its spot in a flash, evidently using its unique Body Technique to search for Xue’Er.

Soon, the Jade-Eyed Golden Ape returned with Xue’Er.

Xue’Er flew down and landed beside Li Mu, asking anxiously, "Lord Li, are you preparing to go on an expedition? Why aren’t you taking me with you?"

Li Mu quickly explained, "The place we are heading to this time is somewhat dangerous. I fear you might get hurt, so I originally planned to leave you in the Sect. But I also feared you would worry, so I decided to bring you along. However, beforehand, during this operation, you must listen and not act impulsively."

Upon hearing this, Xue’Er breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed, "Rest assured, Lord Li, I have always listened to you and will definitely not act impulsively."

Li Mu nodded, and then detailed the situation of the Secret Realm to his Beast Companions, instructing them to prepare and set off the next day.

The next morning, above the Seven Profound Sect, the Earth Element Spirit Ship hovered above the Sect, emitting a faint Spirit Light.

The Elders of the Seven Profound Sect came to bid farewell, their faces smiling yet their eyes revealing reluctance and worry.

Li Mu stood on the deck of the Spirit Ship, bowing to the Elders in farewell, as the Earth Element Spirit Ship slowly ascended, carrying Li Mu, his Beast Companions, and Wang Wenbao on their journey to the Secret Realm.

Soon, the Earth Element Spirit Ship transformed into a Flowing Light, speeding away towards the north.

The Elders of the Seven Profound Sect watched the Earth Element Spirit Ship disappear from sight, then withdrew their gazes, showing complex expressions. They knew Li Mu and his Beast Companions would face many unknown dangers in the Secret Realm, hoping for Li Mu’s safe and early return.

As the Earth Element Spirit Ship sped along, the surrounding scenery transformed like a flowing canvas, the mountains and rivers undulating like the earth’s veins, revealing themselves in the ship’s swift flight, then passing by in quick succession.

On the spacious deck of the Earth Element Spirit Ship, Li Mu stood shoulder to shoulder with Wang Wenbao, discussing important matters of the journey, speaking of the rendezvous location agreed upon with the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s Treasure Hunting Team, planning the route and actions, as Wang Wenbao introduced the situation of the Treasure Hunting Team to Li Mu in detail.

"Master Li, this time our partners are the most experienced Treasure Hunting Team from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. They have successfully explored various Secret Realms and relics multiple times, led by a Void Refining elder named Qian Wantong, whose cultivation is profound and knowledgeable, adept at identifying various traps and restrictions." Wang Wenbao explained the team to Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded, understanding that working with such a team not only increases the safety of the journey but also allows him to learn many valuable experiences during the exploration process.

"What is the composition of the Treasure Hunting Team’s members?" Li Mu further inquired into the team’s situation from Wang Wenbao.

Wang Wenbao quickly explained, "The Treasure Hunting Team consists of over a hundred members. Besides the leader, Commander Qian, a Late-Stage Void Refining Cultivator, there are three formidable Void Refining Powerhouses. Each excels in different fields: Pang Long, an adept Body Cultivator skilled in close combat; Han Yi, proficient in Wood Magic; and Xiao Xiangyun, who excels in tracking and is skilled in Insect-controlling Skill, along with fifty-plus Divinity Transformation Combatants. Additionally, there are support personnel responsible for logistics, including Alchemists, Poison Masters, Pharmacists, Bookworms, and others whose cultivations may not be high but who excel in their fields, playing indispensable roles in Secret Realm exploration."

After listening, Li Mu immediately gained a clearer understanding of the team’s strength and configuration, and, satisfied, remarked, "This Treasure Hunting Team is quite capable; with such a setup, they can handle both combat and exploration with ease. Very good."

"Master Li, you’re absolutely right. Now, with your addition, this expedition to the Secret Realm is bound to be even smoother. As long as the restrictions within the Secret Realm can be broken, the treasures inside will be as easily obtainable as reaching into a bag." Wang Wenbao smiled flatteringly at Li Mu, offering a subtle compliment.

"It’s better not to make premature claims; I’m not entirely confident in breaking the restrictions of this Secret Realm. We’ll assess the situation first, and besides, the Reversing Death Spirit Grass must belong to me beforehand!" Li Mu shook his head, smiled, and humbly replied.

"Of course!" Wang Wenbao quickly nodded in agreement.

"Where will we meet up with the Treasure Hunting Team?" Li Mu changed the topic, inquiring with concern.
