I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 757: Chapter 404: Ice Abyss Spirit Valley

Quickly, under Li Mu’s control, the five tamed beasts exerted all their mana, handing over the control of the Five Elements Array to him.

Under Li Mu’s manipulation, the defensive state of the Five Elements Array transformed, condensing into a massive surge of Five Elements Sword Qi. It carried an overwhelming might, akin to Heaven and Earth Destruction, shooting rapidly in the direction where the Yin Sha Dragon King was fleeing.

The Sword Qi cut through the sky, producing a piercing roar. Wherever it passed, the very space seemed to tear apart. The Yin Sha Dragon King sensed this lethal threat, a flicker of terror flashing in its eyes. It desperately accelerated, trying to escape the terrifying pursuit of the Sword Qi.

However, the Five Elements Sword Qi was faster, catching up to the Yin Sha Dragon King in an instant. It descended from the heavens, striking deeply into its back.

With a resounding "boom" that shook the Heaven and Earth, the body of the Yin Sha Dragon King collapsed under the assault of the Sword Qi, dispersing into a concentrated cloud of Yin Sha Qi.

Soon, as the Yin Sha Dragon King dissipated, crystal-clear Spirit Pearls rained down like Spirit Rain.

"Extreme Yin Pearls! They’re all Extreme Yin Pearls!"

"My heavens! We’ve hit the jackpot!"

...

Seeing the glittering Spirit Pearls pouring down like Spirit Rain, a glimmer of wild joy flashed through the eyes of the cultivators from Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. These Spirit Pearls, like stars embellishing the night sky, shone resplendently, radiating an enticing glow. One after another, they reached out, using mana to form hands or brandishing magical treasures, collecting the falling Extreme Yin Pearls.

The quality of these Extreme Yin Pearls was exceptionally high, nearly reaching Tier Six. Each one was imbued with rich Yin Sha Qi, moving with a semblance of Spiritual Energy in the cultivators’ palms. The number was vast, as dense as a waterfall pouring down—practically fortune falling from the heavens!

Every cultivator reaped abundant rewards, their faces adorned with joyous smiles, unable to suppress their delight. To them, these Extreme Yin Pearls were not only a tremendous wealth but could also be exchanged for other high-tier spiritual materials.

Yet, as they reveled in the joy of their haul, they quickly realized a problem. Although this batch of Extreme Yin Pearls was collected by them, the one who truly vanquished the Yin Sha Dragon King was Li Mu. Without his intervention, they would likely have perished long ago, not to mention acquiring these Extreme Yin Pearls.

Thus, the gazes of the cultivators shifted toward Li Mu, believing that these Extreme Yin Pearls rightfully belonged to him.

At this moment, Li Mu withdrew the five Tier Six Spirit Swords, allowing the Cyan Moon True Dragon and Chi Lian Fire Phoenix to rest within the Spirit-Taming Treasure Bracelet. As for the spoils, the most precious Extreme Yin Spirit Crystals dropped by the Yin Sha Dragon King had already been collected by him into the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, while he casually pocketed several thousand Extreme Yin Pearls.

Some conscientious cultivators silently took out the Extreme Yin Pearls they held and approached Wan Shaoming to submit them.

Wan Shaoming certainly didn’t stand on ceremony, collecting them all. Those unaware were reluctantly persuaded by his stern gaze to hand over the Extreme Yin Pearls they had gathered.

Excitedly, Wan Shaoming approached Li Mu, clasping his hands in gratitude, "Master Li, this time, it’s all thanks to you that we could eliminate the Yin Sha Dragon King!"

"Commander Wan, there’s no need for formality. We are all in the same boat; I simply did what I was supposed to do!" Li Mu said with a smile, waving his hand in a polite gesture.

"Master Li, these Extreme Yin Pearls! Your spoils for slaying the Yin Sha Dragon King." Wan Shaoming said as he attempted to hand a storage bag of Extreme Yin Pearls to Li Mu, indicating earnestly.

Li Mu glanced at the storage bag Wan Shaoming handed over, gently shaking his head, "Commander Wan, everyone put in effort. These are their gains; I can’t take everything for myself!"

Hearing this, Wan Shaoming’s face showed a hint of embarrassment. The value of these Extreme Yin Pearls was extraordinary, far above their capacity. They were like a hot potato that couldn’t be refused, so he quickly said, "Master Li, you’re overstating it. These Extreme Yin Pearls are beneficial to you; we can’t make use of them. Please, don’t decline!"

"Master Li, if not for your intervention, we would have perished to that Yin Dragon."

"Indeed, Master Li! You should accept them!"

"You are our savior; these Extreme Yin Pearls should rightfully be yours."

...

Other cultivators chimed in, their faces displaying sincerity and admiration, genuinely grateful for Li Mu’s assistance.

"Thank you all. I will accept them, but since everyone contributed, let me purchase a portion with Spirit Stones!" Li Mu said as he produced a bag of Spirit Stones and handed it to Wan Shaoming.

Wan Shaoming, seeing this, hurriedly refused, "Master Li, this isn’t right. You’ve already helped us a great deal. These Extreme Yin Pearls are but a token of our appreciation, how could we take your Spirit Stones?"

When Li Mu pretended to be displeased, Wan Shaoming had no choice but to reluctantly accept, distributing them among the cultivators.

The cultivators receiving the Spirit Stones were greatly excited.

"Master Li, you’re too kind!" A Nascent Soul cultivator looked at Li Mu, expressing heartfelt gratitude.

"Indeed, Master Li, we truly benefit from your generosity!" Another Nascent Soul cultivator echoed in agreement.

"No need for such politeness!" Li Mu smiled slightly, looking at Wan Shaoming, nodding, "Commander Wan! Shall we set off? This time, let’s take a detour!"

Wan Shaoming glanced at the still formidable Yin Sha Storm ahead, fearing another Yin Sha Dragon King might emerge. He quickly nodded, "Just as Master Li advises. Let’s take a detour to avoid unnecessary dangers."

Shortly, the Earth Element Spirit Ship and the two Thunder Warships resumed their swift journey, carefully avoiding the most intense area of the Yin Sha Storm, taking a relatively safe route forward.

After several days of swift travel, the three Spirit Ships finally skirted the influence of the Yin Sha Storm, revealing the calmness of the Extreme North Icefield, with vast snowy scenery once again before their eyes. Although the biting cold wind was relentless, there was less presence of Yin Sha Qi.

As they delved deeper into the Extreme North Icefield, dangers gradually increased. Occasionally, they encountered ferocious Icefield Demon Beasts or faced extreme snowstorm weather. However, it was far from the terror of the Yin Sha Storm, which they could manage with the defensive capabilities of the three high-tier Spirit Ships.

On the deck of the Earth Element Spirit Ship.

Li Mu sat with Wan Shaoming, sipping Spirit Tea, its fragrance entwining with the surrounding snowy landscape, creating a unique sense of elegance.

"Commander Wan, how many days until we rendezvous with the Treasure Hunting Team?" Li Mu sipped his Spirit Tea, looking at Wan Shaoming with concern.

Wan Shaoming smiled slightly, setting down his teacup, and replied, "If everything goes smoothly, we should meet with the Treasure Hunting Team by this time tomorrow. They are currently stationed within the Ice Abyss Spirit Valley, where they’ve set up a temporary base."

As they continued to enjoy their tea, the conversation gradually shifted from the Treasure Hunting Team to the Extreme North Icefield, discussing various legends and secrets of the Central State Spirit Realm and other Spirit Realms.

Working for the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, Wan Shaoming often roamed extensively and possessed a wealth of knowledge about many places. His recounting of numerous experiences captivated Li Mu.

Time flew by, and the next morning, as the first rays of sunlight touched the Earth Element Spirit Ship, the three Spirit Ships continued swiftly cutting through the serene waters, their speed growing ever faster.

Eventually, the sight of the Ice Abyss Spirit Valley unfolded before their eyes. On the vast icefield, majestic peaks of ice stood towering, exuding a chilling aura. Between the ice peaks lay a valley, shrouded in a dense snow fog, appearing like a picturesque paradisiacal realm, though hidden from clarity.

"That is the Ice Abyss Spirit Valley, and the restricted area lies beneath this valley," Wan Shaoming pointed ahead, introducing to Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded, feeling a tinge of eagerness.

As the Spirit Ships approached rapidly, nearing their destination, a flash of concentration appeared in Li Mu’s eyes as his expanded Divine Sense detected the presence of a Concealing Array.

Wan Shaoming took out a token, concentrating his mana to activate it. Spiritual power fluctuations spread out, causing the snow fog ahead to gradually dissipate, revealing a pathway leading to the concealed Ice Abyss Spirit Valley.

"This is the secret pathway into the Ice Abyss Spirit Valley." Wan Shaoming introduced to Li Mu, as the three Spirit Ships sailed toward the passage.

The three Spirit Ships entered single file, traversing the misty corridor, finally reaching the entrance of the Ice Abyss Spirit Valley, where even denser spiritual energy surged forth, invigorating their spirits.
