I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 758: Chapter 405: Ice Soul Spirit Orchid

The three spiritual ships slowly sailed in, passing through the narrow passage between the ice peaks, finally reaching the inner base of the Ice Ghost Valley. This place was an expanse covered with snow and ice, with a temporary camp built from ice crystals at the center, crystal clear, like a palace in the snow and ice.

Several dozen igloo-like structures were scattered within the camp. These served as accommodations for the explorers. Although the interiors were simple, all necessary living essentials were complete, enough to ensure the basic living needs of everyone.

Li Mu disembarked from the spiritual ship along with Wan Shaoming and others. A group of cultivators came to greet them, led by an elder of the Refining Void stage with white hair and beard, whose eyes were brilliant and piercing. His face was wrinkled, embodying the sediment of years and the accumulation of wisdom, exuding a stable and seasoned aura.

This treasure hunting team was not small in scale, with dozens of people to welcome them. Besides the leader, Commander Qian, who was a late-stage Void Refining powerhouse, there were also three formidable early-stage Void Refining cultivators, and dozens of Divinity Transformation cultivators. Their eyes revealed a strange light, curious about the incoming reinforcements.

"Greetings, Commander Wan." The elder respectfully greeted Wan Shaoming, his gaze naturally turning to Li Mu beside him, an indescribable curiosity flashing in his eyes.

This young cultivator appeared youthful, around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with a handsome face and a calm demeanor, yet his cultivation was only at the Divinity Transformation realm. In the eyes of a Void Refining powerhouse, Divinity Transformation was merely the starting point on the path of cultivation, far from being a true powerhouse.

However, from Wan Shaoming’s behavior and attitude, the elder could clearly sense Wan Shaoming’s deep respect for this young man. A person in a rather noble position within the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, why would he have such genuine respect for a mere Divinity Transformation cultivator? What made him worthy?

"Greetings, Commander Wan!"

The cultivators behind the elder all greeted in unison.

Wan Shaoming nodded in return and then turned to Li Mu, introducing him: "Master Li, this is Commander Qian, the leader of this secret realm exploration. Not only is he our leader, but also a powerhouse of unfathomable strength."

Then, Wan Shaoming continued to introduce the three Void Refining cultivators behind the elder: "This is Pang Long, a Body Cultivator. This is Han Yi, a Wood Cultivator. And this is Xiao Xiangyun, an Insect Cultivator."

Pang Long, the Body Cultivator, had a square face and a burly physique, muscles knotted, standing like an iron tower. He wore a dark, tight battle armor engraved with intricate runes that shimmered faintly.

Han Yi, the Wood Cultivator, gave off a gentle and refined demeanor. He wore a green long robe, its hem gently swaying like willows in the spring breeze. His face was delicate, with scholarly elegance in his brows.

Xiao Xiangyun, the Insect Cultivator, had deep eyes giving off a mysterious aura. He wore a dark golden robe with strange insect patterns embroidered at the hem, as if concealing some unknown power, always with a faint smile on his face.

As Wan Shaoming introduced them, the three of them nodded slightly, directing their attention to Li Mu, a hint of curiosity in their eyes, equally curious about Wan Shaoming’s respectful attitude towards a Divinity Transformation cultivator.

"This is Master Li," Wan Shaoming smiled slightly, his tone filled with respect, solemnly introducing him: "Master Li is an Artifact Refining Grandmaster, also proficient in array formation skills. Be it refining divine weapons or setting up defense arrays, Master Li is unparalleled. Moreover, his cultivation is not to be underestimated, as he cultivates the Five Elements, with combat prowess not beneath mine."

Hearing this, Pang Long, Han Yi, and Xiao Xiangyun exchanged glances, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes. Having cultivated for many years, they naturally understood the difficulty of combining artifact refining and array formation, let alone excelling in both. Moreover, cultivating the Five Elements set a very high bar for a cultivator’s talent and enlightenment. To reach such a realm at a young age was unbelievable to them.

"Commander Wan praises me too much! I’m Li Mu, greetings seniors." Li Mu hurriedly gave a modest bow, cupping his hands in respect to everyone.

"Master Li, a pleasure to meet you!" Qian Wantong showed a hint of relief, quickly returning the bow with respect.

"Master Li, your artifact refining skills, I’ve long heard of. It’s a great fortune to meet you in person today."

"Indeed! I didn’t expect Master Li to be proficient in array formation as well!"

Pang Long, Han Yi, and Xiao Xiangyun came forward one after another, expressing their respect to Li Mu. Although their cultivation was one realm higher than Li Mu’s, excelling in their respective fields, they couldn’t help but feel respect for a Divinity Transformation cultivator proficient in both artifact refining and array formation, as well as cultivating the Five Elements.

"Bringing Master Li along this time is to see if he can break the restrictions surrounding the secret realm." Wan Shaoming introduced with a smile.

Qian Wantong and the others suddenly realized.

"That’s great!" Qian Wantong exclaimed excitedly: "With Master Li’s help, our hope of breaking the restrictions this time has undoubtedly increased."

"Senior, could you take me to the site to have a look? Only by personally examining the restrictions can I determine if I can break them! Also, I’m interested in checking the situation of the Reversing Death Spirit Grass." Li Mu said thoughtfully, looking at Qian Wantong.

This time, coming to the Extreme North Icefield to explore this so-called secret realm, Li Mu was after the Reversing Death Spirit Grass, aiming to fulfill the Dao Heart vow of Tianyan Divine Monarch. If the information about the Reversing Death Spirit Grass turned out to be false, there would be no need to waste time here.

Qian Wantong nodded and agreed immediately: "Of course, Master Li, I will take you to the site to examine the restrictions. As for the Reversing Death Spirit Grass, it’s within the secret realm’s restrictions. If we can break the restrictions, feel free to take the Reversing Death Spirit Grass, Master."
