310: rhubarb

At this moment, Li Mu was closely observing the battle scene below through the System light screen.

He took in every detail and was very satisfied with the tacit cooperation between the two sides.

Evidently, after this period of experience and growth, their strength had significantly improved, which could be said to be quite considerable.

As Li Mu ended this “live broadcast,” he suddenly felt a drastic fluctuation in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

He unhesitatingly flew high into the sky, then released his powerful Divine Sense.

In just a few breaths, his Divine Sense rapidly covered the entire country like a torrent.

Almost in the next instant, Li Mu discerned the source of the Spiritual Qi commotion.

To his surprise, dozens of majestic mountains, as if by prior agreement, successively gave birth to Elementary Spiritual Veins.

Not only that, but the other Five Peaks, excluding Mount Tai, also simultaneously advanced to Intermediate Spiritual Veins, on par with Mount Tai!

The emergence of Spiritual Veins would inevitably give rise to numerous fierce Yao Beasts in these mountain ranges.

However, the impact of the Spiritual Veins was not immediate; it would take a relatively long process for these mountain ranges to nurture more powerful and numerous Yao Beasts.

After Li Mu learned the specific reason for the Spiritual Qi riot, he returned to the Cave Heaven Small World.

After some thought, Li Mu decided to record this matter in his diary.

“The weather is nice today, and the sun feels warm on my body.”

“Looking back, I didn't have the time to enjoy the sun's embrace like this before.”

“I originally planned to take Linglong and the little fox out for a stroll, but unexpectedly, I suddenly detected a Spiritual Qi riot.”

“What's surprising is that this Spiritual Qi riot didn't just appear in Dragon Country; Spiritual Qi commotions of varying intensities appeared successively across the entire country.”

“Many large mountains gave birth to Elementary Spiritual Veins, and even more surprisingly, the other Five Peaks, besides Mount Tai, all became Intermediate Spiritual Veins in this event.”

“With the birth of these Spiritual Veins, it is likely that more Yao Beasts will emerge in the future.”

“Moreover, the appearance of more powerful Yao Beasts is only a matter of time.”

“However, what’s fortunate is that the more powerful a Yao Beast is, the longer it takes for it to be born.”

“This... thinking about it carefully, can also be considered an exciting piece of good news.”

“However, even if more powerful and numerous Yao Beasts emerge from the Five Peaks' Intermediate Spiritual Veins by then, Jin Meiting, Lan Kun, Xin Mulan, and others should be able to handle them with ease, right!”

“During our last meeting, I already noticed a significant improvement in everyone's strength.”

“By now, after such a long time, their strength must have grown considerably!”

Li Mu turned his gaze to Linglong and the little fox beside him, finding them still in a state of “loving conflict.”

It was hard to imagine if they would maintain this mode of interaction when they eventually transform into human forms.

Interestingly, since Linglong had ventured out a few times, it had made new friends.

And they were friends that it hadn't swallowed!

Speaking of this ‘person,’ I have met him before.

It was Big Yellow.

Big Yellow successfully obtained the Qilin Bloodline after consuming that Talent Spiritual Fruit.

By the way, how did Linglong and Big Yellow meet?

When Li Mu arrived at the scene, he only saw Linglong happily playing and frolicking with Big Yellow.

Meanwhile, the little fox, with a pouting mouth, was desperately gnawing on some chicken it had gotten from who knows where, while glaring fiercely in the direction of Big Yellow and Linglong.

Whenever Li Mu gave Linglong free time, it would always go to play with Big Yellow.

Li Mu later understood this situation, but he did not restrict Linglong's behavior, thinking, let them play to their heart's content!

What was both helpless and amusing was that whenever Linglong was playing with great delight and joy in front, the little fox behind would almost turn into a “resentful male.”

Especially once, Li Mu again allowed Linglong and the little fox to go out for a stroll and also to gain some experience.

However, at this moment, Big Yellow appeared before them once more.

The little fox threw a tantrum, haughtily stating that it didn't want to go out, and Li Mu, finding it amusing, smiled and agreed to it.

Ultimately, the Yao Beasts killed during this training session were a joint effort by Big Yellow and Linglong.

Even more surprisingly to Li Mu, Big Yellow's cultivation was actually on par with Linglong's.

It should be noted that Linglong's cultivation was able to reach such a Realm largely due to the large amount of Spirit Stones provided by Li Mu.

However, astonishingly, Big Yellow, relying entirely on its own efforts, also successfully reached the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation level.

Facts proved that Li Mu's initial judgment of Big Yellow was not wrong; from the very beginning, Big Yellow's performance had already surpassed that of ordinary Yao Beasts.

Li Mu decided to check Big Yellow's data records in the System.

He opened the System interface and clicked on Big Yellow's light screen.

It turned out that ever since Guo Jiarong passed away, Big Yellow did not choose to leave.

Instead, it had guarded Guo Jiarong's tombstone for a full six months.

When hungry, Big Yellow would enter the forest to hunt various Yao Beasts for food.

At night, it would return to Guo Jiarong's tombstone to continue its vigil.

It continued to guard Guo Jiarong day after day like this.

Perhaps Big Yellow had come to terms with it; one day, Big Yellow either improved its strength by fighting Yao Beasts or devoted itself to Cultivate in front of Guo Jiarong's tombstone.

Li Mu carefully read through Big Yellow's System light screen, but he was still perplexed as to how Big Yellow had achieved such a high cultivation.

He shook his head, thinking that since he couldn't figure out the reason, he wouldn't dwell on the problem anymore.

After all, Big Yellow possessed a sincere heart that even ordinary people could hardly match, and perhaps it was precisely because of this persistence and determination that it achieved a Breakthrough through some Opportunity!

Li Mu slowly stood up and turned towards his meditation spot, preparing to begin his Cultivate journey.

However, at this very moment, the little fox suddenly appeared, approaching with light steps.

Li Mu smiled as he watched the little fox, while Linglong beside him stared at the scene with a suspicious expression.

The little fox blinked and said sweetly, “Master, I really want to Cultivate even harder! Can you give me some more Spirit Stones?”

Upon hearing this, Li Mu's lips curved slightly into a gratified smile, and he responded softly, “Of course, it's a good thing to be ambitious.”

Before he finished speaking, Li Mu unhesitatingly took out a large pile of Spirit Stones and gently placed them in front of the little fox.

Then, he turned to look at Linglong beside him, and to prevent it from whining, Li Mu also casually handed it ten Spirit Stones.

Linglong happily accepted the Spirit Stones and smugly made a face at the little fox, as if showing off that it had more Spirit Stones than the other.

It looked like an extremely smug little fellow.

However, the little fox paid no attention to Linglong's provocative expression; it simply picked up the Spirit Stones silently and then quickly ran to its usual Cultivate spot.

Seeing this, Li Mu couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, murmuring to himself, “These two mischievous kids are truly a pair of live wires...”
