I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm-Chapter 353 - 218: Demon Sect Movements

"Senior, here is the Qingxu Spirit Tea you ordered, please enjoy it slowly!"

The maid carefully carried the tea tray and placed a pot of spirit tea and a teacup in front of Li Mu, indicating respectfully.

Li Mu nodded, poured himself a cup of spirit tea, and enjoyed it while listening to the Tea Master narrate the current hot news happening in the Desolate Ancient City area.

The Tea Master had a modest cultivation, only at the Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, but had a good way with words. He elaborated on happenings between sects, cultivation clans, and various powers, while also omitting important information... this Celestial Secret Pavilion really knew how to do business.

Li Mu listened for a while and gained quite a bit.

Desolate Ancient City, located at the border of the Central Continent Spirit Realm and the Southern Spirit Wilderness, to the east lies Desolate Abyss, directly connected to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, to the west lies Star Gazing Sea, north to Celestial Pillar Mountain, south to Desolate Ancient Plain, gathering numerous powers, a mix of dragons and fish.

From the Tea Master’s descriptions, Li Mu learned about many new forces, such as Ancient Moon Sect, Holy Fire Hall, Celestial Pillar Sect revering Celestial Pillar Mountain, and branches of major sects from Central Continent Spirit Realm, Profound Celestial Sword Sect, Taiyi Sect, and the Eight Great Clans... the Three Teachings and Nine Schools converged here, much more lively than the remote Qingxuan Sect.

"Recently, the Nine Demons Sect has become more rampant. After attacking and failing against Qingxuan Sect and Spirit Taming Sect, they have successively taken down Celestial Derivation Sect, Hundred Refinements Sect, and Celestial Spring Sect, blood-sacrificing three large Immortal Cities, leading to the death of nearly two million cultivators..."

"Profound Celestial Sword Sect and Taiyi Sect have jointly issued a demonic extermination order, intending to raid the Demon Cave soon...!"

...

The Tea Master suddenly dropped a bombshell, causing an uproar among the patrons in the teahouse.

"What! Why is the Nine Demons Sect so ferocious? What exactly are they planning!"

"My heavens! These damned demon cultivators, how dare they act so heinously! Aren’t they afraid of divine retribution?"

"What are they doing! They must be aiming to unify the Southern Spirit Wilderness, plotting a terrifying conspiracy!"

"Blood-sacrificing millions of cultivators! They must be refining some kind of powerful demon artifact!"

...

The Golden Core cultivators couldn’t help but start discussing, scared by the actions of the Nine Demons Sect, speculating endlessly.

Li Mu felt a great shock in his mind, involuntarily thinking of Tian Jue Demon Venerable, Nine Nether Demon Venerable, the Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators wearing Bu Mie Demon Louse Armor, and the four visions he had glimpsed in the future. His brows furrowed with a vague sense of unease.

With the Nine Demons Sect being so ostentatious, there must be some unspeakable secret behind their actions. Could they be the ’culprits’ that cause him to be besieged by the army in the future?

Thinking of this, Li Mu felt a chill in his heart, growing more urgent in his desire to improve his cultivation, wanting to reach Divinity Transformation soon, leave the Southern Spirit Wilderness, and head to the Central Continent Spirit Realm to distance himself from the future great catastrophe plaguing the Southern Spirit Wilderness.

The Central Continent Spirit Realm holds several Immortal Sects and the Eight Great Clans, so if a catastrophe occurs, they would face it first, eliminating his worries about mortal danger.

Because of this explosive news, the first-floor hall of the Celestial Secret Pavilion became extremely lively.

The cultivators discussed incessantly, and the Tea Master elaborated on the Profound Celestial Sword Sect’s recruitment order, with generous rewards attracting many Golden Core independent cultivators, igniting an even more fervent discussion.

"The actions of major sects are indeed extraordinary; responding to the call, serving for three years and receiving only ten Tier Five Bodhi Pills!"

"Indeed! With the help of these Bodhi Pills, the chance to promote to Nascent Soul increases by at least thirty percent!"

"Alas! The Immortal Sects and major sects offer such terms to tempt us. Three years is too long; they’re clearly making us cannon fodder. Spirit pills are good, but one must live to enjoy them!"

"That’s right! These pills are not easy to earn! The Nine Demons Sect is not to be trifled with; after three years of battle, I’m afraid we won’t live to enjoy them!"

"True enough, but opportunity is right in front of us. Without risking our lives, the probability of advancing to Nascent Soul is dim, and ultimately, we’d still die under a thunder tribulation. Brother Cao, Brother Chen, are you content with this?"

...

In the hall, the Golden Core cultivators argued incessantly, sighing repeatedly, extremely envious of the prices offered by the Immortal Sects and major sects, yet fearing the notorious Nine Demons Sect, not daring to answer the call, continuously debating.

Seeing this scene, Li Mu couldn’t help but knit his brows.

The major Immortal Sects of the Central Continent Spirit Realm must have recognized the threat of the Nine Demons Sect, willing to spend heavily to recruit the Southern Spirit Wanderers to participate in the demon extermination war,

In the near future, Southern Spirit Wilderness will erupt in a great battle, and various Spiritual Objects and refining materials will likely experience a price surge. When that time comes, lives will be lost in vain, and even if he hides in Yin Yang Valley, he might still be affected.

Thinking of this, the Qingxu Spirit Tea in Li Mu’s hand suddenly lost its flavor!

"You, take me to the Celestial Secret Room, I want to buy intelligence!" Li Mu beckoned to the maid serving beside him, indicating.

"Alright, senior, please follow me upstairs!" The maid in the pink dress cheerfully complied, making a gesture of invitation, leading the way enthusiastically.

Li Mu nodded and followed the maid to the second floor, entering a secret chamber.

"Master Ren, this senior intends to purchase intelligence, please accommodate him," the maid led Li Mu into the Celestial Secret Chamber, introducing a white-haired, slender old man, with Late-Stage Golden Core cultivation.

"Alright, alright, welcome, senior, please have a seat." Ren Wancheng made a gesture of invitation, inviting Li Mu to sit.

Li Mu nodded and took a seat on the opposite sandalwood chair from Ren Wancheng.

Watching the maid leave and close the door to the Celestial Secret Room, Ren Wancheng stroked his white long beard, and respectfully asked Li Mu, "Senior, what aspect of intelligence would you like to inquire about? The intelligence from Celestial Secret Pavilion is consistently accurate, sure to satisfy you."

"Hmm, I want to inquire about Spiritual Objects that increase spiritual energy and enlightenment. Does the Celestial Secret Pavilion have intelligence on this aspect?" Li Mu looked at Ren Wancheng and asked directly.
