Starting from the scattered cultivator family, daily intelligence

Chapter 2, Mysterious Bronze Mirror

Mu Yunsheng collected his thoughts and looked at the messages appearing on the surface of the ancient and mysterious bronze mirror deep in his soul.

[Qian Yiyi, the Caoyang Mu family has already arranged a marriage with Taohua Fairy, a free cultivator. You will marry Shui Lin'er, a disciple of Taohua Fairy. Taohua Fairy has agreed that after you marry Shui Lin'er, you will reside in the Caoyang Mu family as a guest elder.]

[Qian Yi Er, Shui Lin'er is on her way to find you, bringing your favorite peach blossom cake. Tomorrow at noon, when she passes Sancha Ridge, she will be robbed and killed by the two bandits from Miaoshan. They will be brutally tortured and left in the wilderness.]

[Qian Yisan, the red-headed iron-backed centipede, has been nurtured by you for many years. It has been absorbing spiritual energy and eating spiritual insects in the spiritual field. It has reached the breakthrough stage and needs a quiet environment to shed its skin and break through.]

"This is..." Mu Yunsheng stared blankly at the messages appearing on the surface of the ancient and mysterious bronze mirror in the depths of his soul, his heart filled with surprise and excitement. "The mystery of the bronze mirror has been revealed?"

"Seventeen years! From the time I woke up at the age of six to now when I am twenty-three, I have been constantly trying and injecting spiritual energy refined through practice. The ancient and mysterious bronze mirror deep in my soul has finally changed." Mu Yunsheng was surprised and excited, and his eyes were bright.

The cultivation of low-level cultivators was very difficult, and he did not dare to spend even a single extra spirit stone.

"My chance has come." A smile appeared on Mu Yunsheng's handsome face. If Xiao Kai is not considered a chance, how can the love of Lan Xing's mother be considered a chance?

But before the smile on his face lasted for a moment, Mu Yunsheng's expression suddenly changed.

"No, I'm going to lose my wife. I'm going to get her soon, but my beautiful and well-behaved wife is going to be gone.

Mu Yunsheng hurriedly suppressed his joy and excitement and looked at the second piece of information on the bronze mirror again.

"Why did this girl come here alone? I don't know if she was traveling with her family." Mu Yunsheng frowned, worry in his eyes. He looked up at the night sky. It was already three quarters past the hour of Mao, and only more than half an hour away from the hour of Chen.

"Luckily, Sancha Ridge is not far from Yuxu Spiritual Field. After passing Sancha Ridge, we're almost at the Yuxu Spiritual Field area. It will only take me three quarters of an hour to get there from Yuxu Spiritual Field."

"But the Miaoshan Bandits..." Mu Yunsheng whispered. The Miaoshan Bandits were a pair of casual cultivators at the fourth and third levels of Qi Refining. They were active in the Miaoshan area outside Qihefang City all year round, so they were called the Miaoshan Bandits. No one knew why they suddenly came to Sanchaling not far from Yuxu Lingtian.

Mu Yunsheng had heard his great uncle, Mu Kehua, the elder of the Mu family, talk about the information of the two bandits in Miaoshan. It turned out that Mu Kehua had some friendship with them, but it was not a deep one.

"My uncle said that the fighting method of the two bandits in Miaoshan is not difficult to deal with. They are just poor low-level casual cultivators without any advanced magic or magical weapons. They are bandits in their free time and work odd jobs in Qihe Market when they are busy."

"However, even if the fighting skills of the two bandits from Mount Miao are not very advanced, they are cultivators at the third or fourth level of Qi Refining. My cultivation has only just entered the third level of Qi Refining, so it will be difficult for me to fight against any of them."

"Not to mention that the leader of the Miaoshan duo is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. After a Qi Refining cultivator breaks through to the fourth level, he enters the middle stage of Qi Refining. His true essence will undergo a transformation, far surpassing that of a cultivator at the early stage of Qi Refining."

"Xiao Lin'er is only at the first level of Qi Refining. She can't be of any help to me against the two bandits from Miao Mountain."

Mu Yunsheng had a thoughtful look in his eyes. He stood up and looked at a loft in the distant Yuxu Lingtian.

Yuxu Spiritual Field is the largest spiritual field gathering area in Qianyuan Prefecture. There is not only the spiritual field in front of him where Qingyun Spiritual Rice is grown, but there are a total of 217 spiritual fields, all of which have owners and are occupied by well-known Taoist forces in Qianyuan Prefecture.

The spiritual field in front of Mu Yunsheng where Qingyun Lingmi was grown was the spiritual field of the Liu family, a foundation-building family and one of the seven top cultivator forces in Qianyuan Prefecture.

Mu Yunsheng was only responsible for looking after the Qingyun spiritual rice in the spiritual field. He worked there all year round, received no spiritual stone salary, and had only a glimmer of hope of learning how to grow Qingyun spiritual rice.

Even so, you still have to rush to do the work, otherwise you will be fired by the manager of the Liu family in Yuxu Lingtian.

Mu Yunsheng has been tending the Liu family's spiritual fields within the Yuxu Spiritual Fields for five years. Since he was eighteen, when Mu Kehua and his friends spent spirit stones to gain access to the Liu family, and now, at twenty-three, he still hasn't learned the full art of cultivating Qingyun Spiritual Rice. At best, he's only familiarized himself with the growing conditions of Qingyun Spiritual Rice and several other varieties of spiritual rice. He doesn't need to bother the Liu family's spiritual farmers with daily care. The most crucial aspect of spiritual rice cultivation is how to nurture the seeds and produce spiritual rice orchids.

The Liu family still kept the spiritual rice hidden in their hands, and did not let the foreign cultivators who came to work in the Liu family's spiritual fields and wanted to learn the method of growing spiritual rice know about it.

"The Liu family's stewards and guards in the Yuxu Spiritual Field are all cultivators above the middle stage of Qi Refining. It won't be difficult for them to deal with the Miaoshan bandits. If I ask them for help..."

"This plan won't work. The Liu family guards are only responsible for guarding the spiritual rice grown in the Yuxu Spiritual Field. If I ask them to go with me to pick up Xiao Lin'er and kill the two bandits from Miaoshan, they may not agree. They might even use the precious Qingyun spiritual rice in the spiritual field as an excuse to prevent me from leaving the Yuxu Spiritual Field."

"After all, my cultivation is low, and I don't have enough spirit stones." Mu Yunsheng shook his head and whispered in his heart. He took out two low-grade spirit stones from his sleeve pocket, looked at them for a while, sighed lightly, and put them back into his sleeve pocket.

This is his current total worth. If it weren't for the support of Mu Qinghu and Mu Huilan, he might not even have two low-grade spirit stones.

"Hua~Hua~" The sound rang out from the spiritual field where Qingyun spiritual rice was grown.

The giant centipede with a red head, black back and yellow legs, which flew out of Mu Yunsheng's hand earlier, and which was more than three feet long, crawled out from the spiritual field, holding a large cotton caterpillar as big as a green leaf in its mouth.

This cotton worm is the green wood cotton worm that previously ate the leaves of the Qingyun spiritual rice in the spiritual field. It can release a green miasma, and if mortals touch it, their flesh and blood will fester and their lives will be in danger.

Even cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining like Mu Yunsheng would become unconscious and their eyes blurred if they accidentally smelled the miasma of the green wood cotton worms, and the green wood cotton worms would escape.

However, the miasma released by the green wood cottonworm had no effect on the giant centipede, which Mu Yunsheng named Tianlong. It was more than three feet long and had a red head, black back, and yellow legs.

"Wow~Wow~" Tianlongyou crawled in front of Mu Yunsheng, the two tentacles on his forehead swayed happily, he raised his upper body, and threw down the green wood moth that had been bitten to death.

"Well done, eat it and make a good breakthrough after eating." Mu Yunsheng squatted down, gently touched Tianlong's raised head, and said with a smile.

Tianlong was an alien species that he had caught by chance among ordinary insects and centipedes. He later used the method of refining Gu to refine it, and now it has become a poisonous centipede equivalent to the first level of Qi Refining.

The venom contained in the mouth cannot be ignored even by a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining. Mu Qinghu once took the initiative to try it, but his arm was swollen purple, he became delirious, and had hallucinations. It took him more than a quarter of an hour to clear the Tianlong poison.

"Hiss~hiss~" When Tianlong heard Mu Yunsheng's words, the two long tentacles on his forehead swayed, and he let out a happy hiss. He lay down and ate the green woodworm on the ground into his stomach.

Then, without looking for a safe and quiet cave, he curled up in front of Mu Yunsheng and began to break through.

Mu Yunsheng watched quietly from the side without making any sound. In less than a moment, Tianlong's curled up body began to tremble.

The more than three-foot-long body made a crackling sound, and then more robust yellow feet grew out from the curled-up old body of the Tianlong.

A five-foot-long, red-headed centipede with a darker carapace that looked like it was made of fine iron crawled out of its previous body. The fangs in its mouth were sharp enough to easily crush iron and stone, and contained deadly toxins.

"Okay~" Mu Yunsheng was happy and stretched out his right hand to Tianlong who had successfully shed his skin on the ground. Tianlong ate all of his own shed shells on the ground, then followed Mu Yunsheng's outstretched right hand, crawled into his sleeve and hid his body.

"We can't alert the Liu family's guards in Yuxu Lingtian, so I can only go and pick up Xiao Lin'er myself. The successful breakthrough of Tianlong's molting increases our chances of winning."

"The good thing is that the two bandits from Miao Mountain are just poor low-level cultivators without any magic weapons." Mu Yunsheng looked up at the night sky, which was getting closer and closer to the hour of noon. He whispered and turned to walk towards the wooden house where he lived behind him.
