Pale light clusters emerged one after another, endless to pick up, completely endless to pick up. Li Mu was so tired that he couldn't straighten his back, but a brilliant smile hung on his face. He constantly glanced at the dense log prompts on the virtual light screen, smiling with joyful eyes and brows.
Ding, your Cultivation has Breakthrough to Qi Refining Fifth Layer.
“Oh no! My Cultivation has Breakthrough again. It's over! If Zhang Laotou next door discovers my abnormal Cultivation increase, will he report me?!”
Li Mu's mouth was twisted in a happy smile as he worriedly muttered to himself, yet there was no trace of worry on his face.
Qingxuan Sect owns many spirit rice fields near Qing'an Town; however, the Spiritual Veins are too barren, all only around Low Grade First-Tier Spiritual Veins. The spirit rice fields rely on the Spiritual Veins for existence, and because the Spiritual Veins are too sparsely distributed, the spirit rice fields are far apart from each other.
The spirit rice field Li Mu rented was dozens of feet away from the spirit rice field Zhang Laotou next door rented. Usually, Li Mu was either working in the fields or Cultivating in his courtyard, rarely meeting him.
The last time he encountered Zhang Laotou was a brief meeting a month ago.
Li Mu's Cultivation had continuously Breakthrough three layers. He only needed to avoid him a bit, so he didn't have to worry about being discovered. Even if he found out, Li Mu had an excuse to prevaricate.
One mu of spirit rice field, from dawn until dusk, finally had all the spirit rice harvested.
Before dark, Li Mu successfully moved all the harvested rice stalks into his courtyard, waiting to hull them tomorrow to get the spirit rice.
After finishing today's farm work, Li Mu was aching all over and extremely tired, but his spirit was very full and he felt like he could keep going.
After a short rest, Li Mu began preparing spirit rice for a meal to fill his stomach.
His usual post-meal Cultivation directly transformed into Spiritual Charms Drawing.
With Plant Spirit Absorption as his Heavenly Talent, why Cultivate? From now on, he could directly plant and harvest spirit rice to gain Cultivation.
Right, I wonder if the spirit rice cultivated by other spirit rice farmers can be absorbed. Should I go to Zhang Laotou's field and cut a batch to see now?
Action is better than inaction. Li Mu stopped his Spiritual Charms Drawing, left his courtyard door ajar, and, holding a sickle, used the moonlight to grope his way in the dark towards Zhang Laotou's spirit rice field next door.
After a short run of about a hundred meters, Li Mu arrived at Zhang Laotou's spirit rice field. He hadn't started harvesting the spirit rice yet.
The lights in Zhang Laotou's house were on. Li Mu quickly entered the spirit rice field, casually cut a batch of rice stalks, and found no Plant Spirit light clusters.
Li Mu, not believing in evil, cut another batch, and sure enough, no light clusters appeared. Unwilling to give up, he cut another batch, still nothing…
Li Mu continuously cut a small patch of spirit rice in one go, finding no light clusters.
It seems it won't work!
Only the spirit plants he himself planted yielded Plant Spirit light clusters.
Li Mu left the rice stalks in the field and climbed out of the spirit rice field, feeling dejected, as if he had missed a Treasure Trove, his heart aching immensely.
“Woof woof…” The dog Zhang Laotou kept in the courtyard discovered the movement outside and barked frantically.
“Who?” Zhang Laotou walked out of the house and questioned through the courtyard gate.
“Zhang Laotou, it's me. I was just passing by. I'm going home now,” Li Mu quickly replied.
“Oh, it's Zhao Xiaoge! What are you doing out in the middle of the night! Hurry back inside, be careful of encountering Yin Spirits.” Zhang Lao loudly reminded from inside the courtyard, cautiously not opening the door to investigate.
“Got it!” Li Mu responded, glanced at the Exorcism Talisman tucked in his embrace, and turned to run back to his own courtyard.
Just then, the Exorcism Talisman in his embrace inexplicably emitted a faint glow and released a scorching aura, warning of an approaching Yin Spirit.
“It can't be that unlucky! Zhang Laotou's jinx.” Li Mu was scared out of his wits and quickly retrieved a Mystic Iron Sword from his storage compartment, frantically fleeing towards his own home.
Li Mu looked back and could vaguely see a misty shadow closely following him, about to catch up.
“What do I do! The Exorcism Talisman only has a warning effect. How do I deal with that Yin Spirit?” Li Mu panicked, his mind going blank in his haste.
In a moment of crisis, Li Mu suddenly remembered that he was already a Qi Refining Fifth Layer Cultivator, not a Qi Refining Second Layer small fry. Dealing with a wandering Yin Spirit shouldn't be a problem, right!
Li Mu turned to face the Yin Spirit, holding the sword horizontally in his right hand, condensing spiritual power and true Qi in his palm and pouring it into the Mystic Iron Sword.
The Low Grade First-Tier Mystic Iron Sword, as the spiritual power was injected, emitted a faint spiritual light from its dark green blade.
The Yin Spirit sensed the gathering of spiritual power, no longer hesitated, and directly pounced towards Li Mu, leaving itself wide open.
Just then, Li Mu formed a hand seal with his left hand, joining two fingers, and pointed forward: “Go!”
The Mystic Iron Sword in Li Mu's right palm suddenly flew out, breaking through the air, and sharply pierced through the Yin Spirit's body with its spiritual power.
The Yin Spirit's mist cluster trembled slightly, stirring up a gust of Yin wind, and angrily continued to pounce towards Li Mu. This Flying Sword attack had caused it severe damage.
Facing the approaching Yin Spirit, Li Mu forced himself to calm down and meet the enemy, waving the two joined fingers of his left hand.
The next moment, the Mystic Iron Sword, which had shot away and vanished into the night, returned, piercing through the Yin Spirit's white mist and slamming into the ground. The sword vibrated with a 'buzzing' sound, as if it were about to disintegrate.
The Yin Spirit suffered two consecutive heavy blows and could no longer maintain its malevolent misty body. With a 'bang,' the Yin Spirit's malevolent mist exploded and scattered, transforming into countless Soul Power particles that dissipated into the world.
Li Mu exhaled heavily, feeling a sense of relief.
Li Mu forcefully pulled out the Mystic Iron Sword embedded in the ground, turned, and ran into his courtyard, closing the door tightly and not coming out again.
To prevent Disciples cultivating spirit rice fields from being harassed by evil spirits, Qingxuan Sect, when building the courtyards, sent Disciples to set up some Feng Shui protective formations, which had a certain deterrent effect.
Therefore, at night, hiding indoors provided a certain degree of defense. Of course, if a high-level demonic beast descended the mountain, or a fierce ghost or vengeful spirit appeared, one would have to pray for good fortune.
The original owner's death might have been related to a Yin Spirit; from now on, he couldn't go out at night anymore.
Using Sword Control Technique to kill a Yin Spirit for the first time, Li Mu was both happy and terrified, and he couldn't help but look at his character interface.
You successfully cast Sword Control Technique. Sword Control Technique proficiency +1.
Looking at the log prompts appearing on the virtual light screen, Li Mu's heart couldn't help but settle down. With this powerful Golden Finger, he could quickly become strong.
This world is too dangerous, especially at night. Now that he has free time for Cultivation, after selling the spirit rice, he will buy a few combat spells to practice diligently. Sword techniques and Sword Control Technique must be quickly improved to enhance his means of dealing with enemies.
Li Mu calculated in his mind, then sat down at the wooden table, took out talisman paper and a talisman brush, and continued to draw Exorcism Talismans.
