Time passes slowly.

In the blink of an eye, a month and a half has passed by.

In Cyan Dragon Valley, a hundred acres of spirit fields, with fifty acres of half-a-meter-high Wind Spirit Grass, swaying gently in the breeze, lush and verdant, brimming with spiritual energy, have already entered the mature stage. Thirty acres of White Jade Spirit Rice, standing over a dozen feet high, are growing splendidly. As for the twenty acres of Cui Ling Fruit, they are just overcoming the seedling stage.

Beside the spirit field, on a huge rock by Qingshui Pool.

"Woof!" The Red Wolf stood at the edge of the rock, excitedly barking towards the cyan pool below, alerting its master that it was about to jump.

Then, the Red Wolf leapt out, with a "plop" sound, diving into Qingtan, paddling with all its might, eagerly swimming towards Li Mu.

"You're involved in everything, now you want to join me in the water too!" Li Mu humorously tapped the Red Wolf on the head, then rose and landed on the rock.

Li Mu extended his right hand, spreading his palm, gathering the moisture from his body and hair into his palm, drying himself quickly, then pulled out a magic robe from the storage bag and donned it.

Seeing Li Mu leave the pool, the Red Wolf hurriedly dog-paddled towards the shore.

Witnessing this, Li Mu chuckled, tossing the water ball in his hand, which hit the Red Wolf's head perfectly, with a "splash", the water ball burst, drenching the Red Wolf's face.

"Awoo!" The Red Wolf shook its head, whimpering in frustration, planning to get ashore and settle accounts with Li Mu.

At this moment, Li Mu's expression changed slightly, having detected something, the Red Wolf was suddenly lifted by an invisible hand, flying out of the water onto the rock.

"Woo woo..." The Red Wolf whimpered helplessly, its eyes flickering with fear, it too felt the commotion from the pool's depths.

Li Mu placed the Red Wolf at his feet, his expression grave as he stared at Qingtan.

"Gurgle, gurgle..." Bubbles continuously rose, with a tremor beneath the pool as the blockage of the underground waterway was destroyed.

Li Mu extended his divine sense, discovering a cyan Flood Dragon Python, pushing against the boulder blocking the waterway.

Unbelievably, it was a Tier Four Flood Dragon Python.

Damn!

Feeling the spiritual pressure released by the Flood Dragon Python, Li Mu's face turned pale as he secretly cursed.

Li Mu glanced towards the fifty acres of Wind Spirit Grass, which would be ready for harvest in two days. Worried that the upcoming battle would affect the spirit field, he immediately gathered Metal Element Spiritual Power in his hand, quickly executing the Golden Blade Skill, one blade wasn't enough, he unleashed another one.

With a "swish", two golden blades slashed out, slicing through with the sound of "pup, pup, pup..." endlessly. The fifty acres of Wind Spirit Grass fell in droves, visible to the naked eye.

Li Mu covered the spirit field with his divine sense.

A second later, clusters of pale green light flew en masse to Li Mu's body, merging into him, disappearing without a trace.

[Talent Divine Power - Plant Spirit Absorption activated, you absorbed a plant spirit, +1 Free Skill Points]

[Talent Divine Power - Plant Spirit Absorption activated, you absorbed a plant spirit, +1 Free Skill Points]

[Talent Divine Power - Plant Spirit Absorption activated, you absorbed a plant spirit, +2 Free Skill Points]

...

In an instant, a dense column of Plant Spirit Absorption notifications appeared in the virtual log panel of his character, catching a glance, Li Mu obtained 2.37 million Free Attribute Points from the fifty acres of Wind Spirit Grass.

However, Li Mu had no time to rejoice, nor did he have the leisure to raise his cultivation technique level.

With a loud "splash", a thick-as-a-barrel, single-horned, cyan-scaled Tier Four Flood Dragon Python emerged from the water, its emerald vertical pupils fixating fiercely on Li Mu by the shore.

"Woo..." The Red Wolf tucked its tail in fright, whimpering beside Li Mu, its four legs trembling, yet unwilling to abandon Li Mu.

Li Mu had already anticipated this, taking a deep breath, stomping his right foot onto the ground with force, a powerful spiritual power surged forth, extending throughout the valley, instantly activating the Demon Trapping Array within Cyan Dragon Valley.

The cloud and mist enveloping Cyan Dragon Valley, guided by Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, aggressively pressed down towards the Tier Four Single-Horned Flood Dragon Python in Qingtan, enshrouding the entire pool within a dome-shaped white mist.

The Tier Four Single-Horned Flood Dragon Python, feeling the suppression of the Demon Trapping Array, was very uncomfortable as its horrifying Demon Power could not be unleashed.

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, luckily having foresight, when he took over Cyan Dragon Valley, he preemptively set up the Dragon Elephant Demon Trapping Array. Whether or not it could trap the Tier Four Single-Horned Flood Dragon Python was uncertain, but it would at least buy him time to pack and escape.

As for capturing the Tier Four Single-Horned Demon Python, Li Mu didn't dare imagine it, unless he was able to reach Foundation Establishment at that moment, and successfully refine a Tier Four Spirit Sword, he might have a chance to fight.

Realizing it was trapped in the pool, the Tier Four Single-Horned Flood Dragon Python became enraged, violently whipping its tail against the array.

With a "boom" resounding, like heaven and earth shaking, the sound echoed far and wide.

"Not good!"

Li Mu's expression changed swiftly, holding the Red Wolf close as he dashed into the stone house, quickly gathering various belongings, and released the Light Cloud Spiritual Ship, rapidly flying towards Gangyang City.

Trapping the Tier Four Single-Horned Flood Dragon Python with the Demon Trapping Array wasn't the issue, it wouldn't be able to escape for a while. However, Cyan Dragon Valley and Qingshui Town were extremely close, only seven or eight kilometers apart. At this moment, the enormous commotion created by the Tier Four Single-Horned Flood Dragon Python crashing into the Demon Trapping Array would undoubtedly alert the people of Qingshui Town.

As the Demon Trapping Array was activated, the other four arrays - Illusion Array, Fog Array, Protective Array - all became ineffective. Once someone came to check, the situation in Cyan Dragon Valley was clearly visible.

As expected, Li Mu piloted the Light Cloud Spiritual Ship and left not long after.

Hearing the tremendous commotion in Cyan Dragon Valley, the surrounding Loose Cultivators and Hunter Cultivators flew over on their swords.

"What's that in the pool!"

"A Tier Four Demon Beast, my heavens!"

"It's about to break free, run for your life! Ah!"

"What, is there really a Flood Dragon in Cyan Dragon Valley?"

...

The Loose Cultivators who had detected the situation in Cyan Dragon Valley wished to have wings sprouting from their backs. They scattered like birds in all directions, desperately fleeing for their lives, leaving behind their possessions in Qingshui Town.

Qingshui Town, Qing Xuan Sect's courtyard residence.

"What! A Tier Four Flood Dragon Python discovered in Cyan Dragon Valley? Is it true or false!" Ye Ming looked incredulously at the reporting Servant Disciple.

"It's true, Senior Brother Ye, I saw it with my own eyes. I swear by the sect rules, there is not a shred of falsehood. This Flood Dragon Python is currently trapped in the Demon Trapping Array within the Cyan Pool, with the possibility of breaking free at any moment. If it does, all of Qingshui Town will be doomed! I urge Senior Brother to quickly gather everyone to evacuate this town." The Servant Disciple looked at Ye Ming, fervently swearing and urging.

"I understand, Junior Brother Chang, swiftly organize a team to take our essential supplies and evacuate this town. I'll personally go to Cyan Dragon Valley to investigate." Ye Ming did not doubt the Servant Disciple's words; the massive noises from Cyan Dragon Valley could not have been caused by an ordinary demon beast. However, he needed to see it with his own eyes to know how to report this to the sect.

"Understood, Senior Brother Ye!" Chang Hong responded gravely, immediately gathering the Servant Disciples to pack up their belongings and start moving.

Soon after, Ye Ming took to his sword, transforming into a streak of flowing light as he rapidly approached Cyan Dragon Valley, probing Cyan Dragon Pool from above.

Beholding the massive azure Flood Dragon Python using its sturdy tail to strike the array, causing booming echoes that resounded through the sky, the fog surrounding the array was on the verge of collapse.

Ye Ming's expression changed dramatically, and he escaped on his sword.

The demon trapped in the Cyan Dragon Pool could no longer bear the weight; the Tier Four Flood Dragon Python might break free at any moment; at that time, the entire Qingshui Town, or even the entire Gangyang City, would undergo tremendous change because of this beast.

Ye Ming spared no effort, flying towards Gangyang City, hastening to report the incident to the sect so they could dispatch True Disciples and Elders to deal with the Flood Dragon, minimizing the loss.

An hour later

Li Mu piloted the Light Cloud Spiritual Ship, flying at full speed, finally arriving at Gangyang City.

"Do you sell Spirit Beast Bags?" Li Mu, accompanied by the Red Wolf, entered a Beast Taming Store and inquired of the shopkeeper.

"Yes, yes, may I ask what specifications of Spirit Beast Bag you're looking for?" The shopkeeper nodded jovially, greeting him warmly.

"One that's comfortable for it to stay in." Li Mu pointed at the Red Wolf at his feet, asking.

"Sir, Spirit Beasts placed in the bag will fall into a deep sleep. If comfort is a priority, consider a Spirit Beast Bag lined with Fire Fox Fur, which makes for a restful slumber." The shopkeeper took out a red brocade Spirit Beast Bag and recommended it to Li Mu.

"Hmm, how long before it needs to be fed?" Li Mu nodded and asked.

"The Spirit Beast Bag reduces the beast's consumption, usually up to three days. With a pre-fed Spirit Feeding Pill, it can last five to seven days. If the Spirit Beast becomes uncomfortable or hungry, the bag has a self-activating array to prevent the beast inside from starving." The shopkeeper explained in detail.

"How many Spirit Stones?" Li Mu nodded contentedly and asked.

"Fifty Middle Spirit Stones." The shopkeeper showed five fingers.

...

"That's expensive, could the price be reduced?" Li Mu blinked at the shopkeeper.

"Sir, this is already the greatest discount. The use of Fire Fox Fur elevates the price slightly." The Beast Taming Store shopkeeper quickly clarified.

Alright! Such a small Spirit Beast Bag was even pricier than a small Storage Bag. Raising Spirit Beasts was indeed something only the wealthy could afford.

Fortunately, Li Mu wasn't short on Spirit Stones. He took out fifty Middle Spirit Stones and promptly paid.

After purchasing the Spirit Beast Bag, exiting the Beast Taming Store, Li Mu couldn't help but recall the Spirit-Taming Treasure Bracelet stored in the Storage Compartment.

If the Treasure Bracelet could be unsealed, it should be far more useful than the Spirit Beast Bag! Not only would it have a special Beast Taming Space, but it would also accelerate the growth of Spirit Beasts. It might be useful to study the Beast Taming Techniques in advance, so when the Spirit-Taming Treasure Bracelet is unsealed, several beasts could be trained to assist in battle.

Leaving the Beast Taming Store, Li Mu took out a bottle of pills from his Storage Bag, poured out a Spirit Feeding Pill, and fed it to the Red Wolf before putting it into the Spirit Beast Bag.

Without the burden of the Red Wolf, Li Mu headed straight for the sect residence.

About two months had passed, the Yin Yang Five Elements Scripture should have arrived at the Dharma Transmission Hall by now, right!

Having harvested over two million three hundred thousand Free Skill Points without using any, Li Mu carried himself with brisk steps, filled with anticipation for the Yin Yang Five Elements Scripture.
