I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm-Chapter 307 - 197: Desolate Ancient City – Fuyun Port (Part 2)

Chapter 307: Chapter 197: Desolate Ancient City – Fuyun Port (Part 2)

"What’s going on! So mysterious!"

"I heard the Kun Family lost some precious treasure, for the Illusionary God Sect to cooperate like this, it must have cost them dearly!"

"That Spirit Armor seems to be a Tier Six Spiritual Treasure! The Kun Family surely has deep pockets!"

...

As the cultivators from the Kun Family departed, the Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators waiting for the array to activate began discussing, with various speculations swirling around.

Li Mu’s eyes revealed a thoughtful look, keeping this matter in mind, maybe there’s a chance to ’cooperate’ with the Kun Family!

Ah, a Tier Six Array Artifact!

Having witnessed the power of the Spirit Taming Sect’s Sect Protection Array, Li Mu was well aware of why the Kun Family was making such a big move!

After spending half a day, the Teleportation Array finally activated.

Having previous experience, Li Mu steadied himself and this time seated safely on the teleportation array.

Soon, Li Mu boarded the Teleportation Array, traveled several times, and half a month later, finally arrived at Desolate Ancient City.

Desolate Ancient City, located in Central State, at the junction of South Spirit, is the central hub where two continents meet, boasting a large floating harbor, where spirit ships full of goods, treasure ships come and go, cultivators constantly coming and going, bustling beyond compare.

Desolate Ancient City covers a vast area, with a mighty river on the left and continuous mountains on the right, topped with a floating port, witnessing the city’s bustling prosperity and expecting cultivation resources to be abundant.

Li Mu immediately decided not to rush to Yang Valley.

Having just obtained two Flood Dragon Bones, badly damaged in spiritual energy, it’s critical to find Tier Five Profound Nether True Water and Demon Beast Essence Blood for soaking to restore spiritual energy, additionally, procurement of high-tier talisman paper and various auxiliary materials is required.

Li Mu decided to stay in this city for a while, organizations like Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion and Celestial Secret Pavilion should be rooted here.

Using Divine Soul Star Concealment Divine Techniques and sweeping with Divine Thought, Li Mu discovered a Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator from the Illusionary God Sect stationed here, quickly retracting his Divine Sense to avoid further complications, flying out promptly.

From a high vantage, Desolate Ancient City is divided into several different regions, with its center featuring a high-floating spaceport, crowded with spirit ships and treasure ships, incredibly spectacular.

Notably, apart from the floating spaceport, there were no cultivators flying in the sky, within Desolate Ancient City’s streets only pedestrians were visible.

Li Mu flew out of the Illusionary God Sect’s teleportation zone and quickly encountered a patrol team, the Foundation Establishment Patrol Captain stepped forward to inform, other than major sects’ territories and within a ten-mile radius of the floating port, flying is prohibited in other areas, if travel is inconvenient, one can rent equipment from vehicle providers or ride a vehicle spiritual artifact.

Li Mu surveyed Desolate Ancient City, observing the orderly spirit beast vehicles, and vehicle spiritual artifacts, nodding to adhere to Desolate Ancient City’s regulation, understanding its rationale.

Above the ancient city, that floating port hosts far too many spirit ships and treasure ships, densely packed, numbering thousands, if unrestricted flying were allowed, maintaining order would be impossible.

Li Mu regarded the patrol captain, asking: "Hmm! Does this city have Ten Thousand Treasures Tower or Celestial Secret Pavilion? Where are they located?"

"Reporting to senior, Desolate Ancient City indeed has Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion and Celestial Secret Pavilion established here, they each have branches and headquarters at the floating port. Senior, it’s your first time here, right? I have a Jade Scroll here recording the city’s situation, as well as the forces and rules within the city...."

With enthusiasm, the Foundation Establishment Patrol Captain introduced to Li Mu, then took a Jade Scroll from his bosom, respectfully offering it.

Clearly, this wasn’t his first time doing this.

Li Mu smiled slightly, decisively handing over several top-grade Spirit Stones to the captain, accepting the Jade Scroll.

The Foundation Establishment Patrol Captain was overjoyed, quickly expressing gratitude, confirming Li Mu had no further inquiries, leading his team away.

Li Mu investigated the Jade Scroll with Divine Sense.

Desolate Ancient City has four entry gates: East Desolate Gate, West Desolate Gate, North Desolate Soul Gate, South Wilderness Gate, with a central floating harbor, up to a thousand spirit ships and treasure ships commute daily, serving as the exchange site for cultivation resources between the Central State Spirit Realm and Southern Spirit Realm, the last supply city before reaching through Celestial Pillar Peak to the Central Continent Spirit Realm.

The convergence of vast cultivation resources from two continents has drawn significant attention from numerous forces, several major sects from the Central Continent Spirit Realm, the ancient Eight Great Clans, commercial forces have all been stationed in Desolate Ancient City.

Profound Celestial Sword Sect, Taiyi Saint Sect, Illusionary God Sect,..., along with the Eight Ancient Clans, Ouyang Family, Kun Family, Ji Family,..., occupying large business operations within Desolate Ancient City, spanning various industries, along with numerous third-rate families aligned with major sect and great family,...

In short, Desolate Ancient City aggregates major sect and family forces from two Spirit Realms, along with rogue cultivators, demon sects, demon cultivators, making up a bustling and intricate cultivation city.

Upon learning about Desolate Ancient City, Li Mu transformed into the appearance of ’Old Man Zhang,’ not restraining his Nascent Soul Stage Cultivation, and set out toward Desolate Ancient City.

With Nascent Soul Stage Cultivation, Li Mu’s stride easily covered a hundred feet at a time, eliminating the need to hire beast vehicles or vehicle spiritual artifacts.

Arriving at Desolate Ancient City, Li Mu paid an entry fee of a hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones, entering the city, heading straight towards its center, boarding the Heaven-Reaching Cloud Ladder, ascending to Yunfu Port.

Upon reaching the floating Fuyun Port of Desolate Ancient City, observing a landscape populated solely by Golden Core Stage cultivators and above, unlike the lower city filled with a mix of Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators.

At the core section of Fuyun Port, tall buildings stood, including Celestial Secret Pavilion, Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, True Spirit Tower, Ancient Treasure Pavilion,..., with major business associations from both Spirit Realms establishing their branches and headquarters here, fostering competition yet alliance.

Having seen enough competition in life, Li Mu was unfazed by this sight, directly heading to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion with which he’d had the most dealings.

A nine-story building occupying several dozen acres stood magnificently, with a lobby resplendent with gold and jade, the three words "Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion" in gold inlaid jade shone remarkably in the sunlight.

The entrance to Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was open, Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators entering and exiting, even a strong presence from several Divinity Transformation cultivators could be felt.

Li Mu confidently stepped in.

A young maiden dressed in a green long skirt, with a respectful smile, quickly stepped forward to welcome: "Senior, maid Wan’Er at your service, what do you require? Pills, Spiritual Artifacts, or do you wish to sell items? Our pavilion is at your full disposal."

"Hmm! Do you have High-tier Spirit Plant Seeds, High-tier Thunder Element, Fire Element Beast Hide, High-tier Demon King’s Essence Soul, High-tier Demon Beast Essence Blood, Profound Nether True Water, bring the inventory list for me to see!" Li Mu skillfully went straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Wan’Er’s eyes twinkled with recognition, this demeanor clearly marked Li Mu as a regular patron of Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion!

"Yes, yes, Senior, please follow me to the VIP room for a moment, I’ll fetch it immediately!" Wan’Er gestured with an inviting hand, warmly extending the invitation.

Li Mu nodded, following her to the VIP room.

In the VIP room, Li Mu took the main seat, served spirit tea by the maid.

Wan’Er moved quickly, bringing several thick material record books, respectfully handing them to Li Mu: "Senior, please have a look."

Li Mu nodded, accepting the accounts, quickly flipping through and selecting items.

"Give me a pen!" Li Mu reached out to request.

Wan’Er eagerly complied, swiftly presenting it within two breaths.

"3 rolls of Tier Five Thunder Lion Hide, take them all, Tier Five Cishou Spirit,..., Tier Five Celestial Essence Crystals, take them all, ..., only a small amount of Profound Nether True Water is available, when is the next batch arriving? Take all of it, ...." Li Mu took the pen, continuously marking items needed from the warehouse account book.

Witnessing this scene, Wan’Er trembled with excitement, overwhelmed with joy.

"Profound Nether True Water indeed is scarce, only nine thousand drops, senior, how much do you need, feel free to specify, the next batch will arrive in three days from Central State."

Three days is a short time, Li Mu nodded and agreed, directly requesting two hundred pounds, not by drop unit.

Stunned by the request, Wan’Er confirmed: "Senior, are you sure you want two hundred pounds? Not twenty thousand drops?"

Overwhelmed by sudden fortune, Wan’Er was dizzy from the falling pie, achieving this order would be equivalent to decades of toil.

"Indeed! Quickly note it down!" Li Mu affirmatively nodded, continuing to peruse the accounts.

This client’s refinement is astounding, such a massive order, Wan’Er found it difficult to handle, some items had too high of a spiritual index, exceeding her authority, thus she apologized and invited in the shopkeeper of Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
