Chapter 176: Chapter 136: Star Beast Relic Pearl

The storage rings of nine Nascent Soul Demon Monarchs, seventy-five top-grade Spirit Stones, thousands of top-grade Spirit Stones, millions of middle-grade Spirit Stones, and the storage rings themselves with considerable space make up an astonishing fortune.

Li Mu took out the high-tier Spiritual Objects from the storage rings of the nine Demon Monarchs one by one, categorizing and organizing them. One tier seven Spiritual Object, three tier six Spiritual Objects, eighteen tier five Spiritual Objects, and countless tier four and tier three Spiritual Objects, …

Under the Innate Divine Technique – Recognize Ten Thousand Spirits, the information about various Spiritual Objects emerged in the virtual frame.

[Star Beast Relic Pearl (Sealed)]

[Grade: Tier Seven Causality Wondrous Object]

[Attributes: Chasing the Origin, Glimpse of the Fruit, Nine-Nine Yao Destiny]

[Status: Spiritual Invisibility, Divine Object Self-Sealing]

[A pearl left behind at the life’s end of the tier seven Void Star Beast. As the Void Star Beast approached death and returned to its ancestral land, the pearl within its body mutated, gaining a glimpse of the origin and the ability to trace cause and effect. It’s a special material for refining Cause and Effect Divination Artifacts. By tempering the pearl with Celestial Fire, it can be unsealed.]

[God-Hating Hall]

[Grade: Tier Six Spiritual Artifact]

[Attributes: Gathering of Yin Qi, Condensing Yin and Healing Body, Self-avoiding Celestial Tribulation]

[Refined with tier six Loathsome Beast Skeleton, tier six Fallen God Wood, and tier six Netherworld Jade, it forms the tier six God-Hating Coffin, which gathers Yin Qi, accelerates the recovery of Yin Soul, and has effects on refining corpse bodies, serving as a top-grade auxiliary Spiritual Artifact for those cultivating the Corpse Dissolving Immortal arts.]

[Nine Yin Spirit Grass]

[Grade: Tier Six Spirit Plant]

[Attributes: Extreme Yin to Yang, Soul Nourishing and Knowledge Strengthening, Condensing Yin and Transforming Spirit]

[The Nine Yin Spirit Grass is formed from Yin Phoenix Grass with a medicinal age of fifteen hundred years, containing extreme Yin Spiritual Power. From Extreme Yin to Yang, consumption can awaken spirits and strengthen divine souls. (It needs to be balanced with Nine Yang Spirit Grass when consumed raw.) It is one of the main materials for refining the Nine Revolutions Soul Reviving Pill.]

[Celestial Void Tripod (Incomplete) (Sealed)]

[Grade: Tier Six Spiritual Artifact]

[Attributes: Celestial Void Space, Void Spirit Transformation, Sacrificial Refinement of Hundred Demons.]

[Status: The Celestial Void Tripod’s lid is incomplete, the Celestial Void Spirit Fire is missing, Artifact Spirit self-sealed]

[The Celestial Void Tripod is refined with tier six Celestial Palace Essence Crystal, tier six Void Origin Soil, tier six Demon Suppression Stone, and Void Spirit Fire. This tripod can refine demons into pills, but the Celestial Void Tripod’s lid and Void Spirit Fire are lost. The Artifact Spirit is self-sealed. Retrieve the Celestial Void Tripod’s lid and Spirit Void Fire, the Celestial Ruins Tripod will unseal itself.]

[Blood God Crystal]

[Celestial Killer Stone]

…

The information on various high-tier Spiritual Objects appeared one by one in the virtual frame.

With only one tier seven wondrous object remaining, the quality of this batch of spoils was beyond Li Mu’s imagination.

Li Mu also found a batch of tier four Soul Wood Hearts, ten in total, the top-grade materials for refining clone puppet cores, so there will be no worries about materials for refining high-tier puppet cores in the future.

There were also numerous Soul Absorption Bottles, Blood Storage Bottles, and Corpse Storage Bags, containing a million-level quantity of corpses, Copper Corpses, Yin Corpses, …, all kinds of high-tier demonic objects cluttering the storage rings.

Li Mu felt his scalp tingle, unsure how many they had killed to collect these demonic resources.

“Ji Ji!”

A series of crisp cries emanated from the Spirit Beast Bag, and Little White had somehow crawled out of the Spirit Beast Bag on its own. Its large, gleaming eyes locked tightly on the Soul Absorption Bottle in Li Mu’s hand, keenly sensing the presence of “food.”

“Little Glutton, such a keen nose.” Li Mu laughed as he handed the Soul Absorption Bottle to Little White.

With a “pop,” the Soul Absorption Bottle opened on its own. Little White bounced up, blocking the bottle’s mouth with its wide open mouth, gulping eagerly with ’gugu, gugu’.

In just a few breaths, the Soul Absorption Bottle, containing tens of thousands of Life Souls, was emptied into Little White’s stomach, its snowy white body emitting a milky white soul mist and exuding an unsettling soul power.

“Ji Ji, hic!” Little White joyfully called out to Li Mu, letting out a satisfied burp.

“Got it! Go sleep now!” Li Mu nodded with a smile, storing away the remaining dozens of Soul Absorption Bottles, as these would serve as Little White’s rations for some time. Otherwise, during previous hunts, Li Mu would have to collect demon beast Essence Souls specifically for Little White.

These Life Souls had already been stripped of their original soul memories by the Demon Monarchs, leaving only negativity, meant for refining Yin Ghost soul bodies. Feeding them to Little White, Li Mu felt not a shred of guilt.

Each Soul Absorption Bottle equals tens of thousands of lives. With dozens of Soul Absorption Bottles, plus the number of Corpse Bags and Blood Storage Bottles, one can imagine how many lives were sacrificed by the Demon Cultivators to collect these items.

Xiaobai bounced its body and landed in Li Mu’s arms, burrowed inside, and silently fell into a deep sleep.

Li Mu felt the warmth of the little creature’s body, adjusted his pocket to make it sleep more comfortably.

Next, Li Mu continued to organize the spoils of war, first collecting the Corpse Refining, Essence Blood, Demon Technique Manuals, Poisonous Demon Pills used by the Demon Cultivators, and put them all into a Storage Ring, intending to deal with them when he gets the chance.

Various Low Tier Spiritual Objects, Refining Materials, …, Li Mu put them all into the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl.

Looking at several High Tier Spiritual Objects, Li Mu contemplated their use.

Both the Tier Seven Star Beast Relic Pearl and Tier Six Spirit-Taming Treasure Bracelet need to be re-refined with Celestial Fire to unseal them or summon the Artifact Spirit anew.

No matter how, he needs to find a way to obtain Celestial Fire.

If it doesn’t work, then after becoming a Nascent Soul, he will make a trip to the Central State Spirit Realm.

Both the Tier Seven Star Beast Relic Pearl and Tier Six Spiritual Turtle Shell possess divination and causality attributes. If he can break through Artifact Refining Technique level 5 and unseal these two, he might be able to refine a Tier Six, even Tier Seven Divination Spiritual Artifact.

Hmm! There’s an opportunity to learn Computation Scripture as well.

To reduce the chances of falling into dangerous situations, he can use divination when traveling.

Li Mu joyfully put the Tier Seven Star Beast Relic Pearl into the Storage Compartment, keeping it with the Spiritual Turtle Shell.

The God-Hating Coffin is indeed a good Corpse Refining Spiritual Artifact, but since he learned Puppetry Technique, Li Mu decided not to take the path of Corpse Refining, which involves being surrounded by corpses, a very repulsive idea.

The God-Hating Coffin, being somewhat redundant, was stored into the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl by Li Mu, intending to exchange it for a High Tier Spiritual Object or dispose of it when possible.

“This High Tier Spirit Grass which can strengthen the Divine Soul is certainly excellent! Such a pity there’s no Nine Yang Spirit Grass to neutralize it for consumption.” Li Mu put the Nine Yin Spirit Grass back into the Ice Jade Box, hoping to find a Nine Yang Spirit Grass later to neutralize it for consumption.

Li Mu’s Divine Soul is already very strong, taking the Nine Yin Spirit Grass would just be the icing on the cake, no rush at all.

However, Li Mu is more focused on the Spirit Awakening effect of the Nine Yin Spirit Grass, wondering if this Spirit Awakening effect is related to Spiritual Energy.

Artifact Refining Technique, Talisman Making Technique, Puppetry Technique, …, these cultivation techniques and arts are stuck at level 5 due to the lack of the crucial attribute of Spiritual Energy, unable to continue using Free Skill Points to improve.

Even the Free Skill Points gained from successfully refining High Tier Spiritual Artifacts, or Puppets can’t be improved.

Li Mu is quite anxious, constantly seeking High Tier Spirit Plants that can increase Spiritual Energy.

If the Nine Yin Spirit Grass can increase Spiritual Points, Li Mu intends to plant a batch of Nine Yin Spirit Grass, first to search for Spirit Seeds of Yin Phoenix Grass, planting until Yin Wind Grass promotes to Nine Yin Spirit Grass.

Sincerely put the Ice Jade Box holding Nine Yin Spirit Grass into the Storage Compartment, Li Mu surveys another Tier Six Spiritual Object – Celestial Void Tripod.

The quality of the Celestial Void Tripod appears gray-black, ancient, its surface covered with mottled copper rust, with three tripod legs, standing about two feet tall and one and a half feet wide …, extremely ordinary.

Were it not for the effect of the Innate Divine Technique – Recognize Ten Thousand Spirits, and Li Mu wouldn’t even imagine this worn-out little tripod is a Tier Six Spiritual Artifact, moreover it possesses a powerful function of refining demons into pills.

Unfortunately, both the tripod lid of the Celestial Void Tripod and Void Spirit Fire in the tripod are missing, Spiritual Invisibility, where to find them?

Li Mu sighed, ready to store the Celestial Void Tripod at the bottom of the Storage Compartment.

Just then, a flash of spirit light spurred in Li Mu’s mind, reminding him of recently inquiring about Five Elements Spirit Beast from several Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the Qing Xuan Sect.

Zhou Hong True Monarch mentioned a fissure at Celestial Phoenix Mountain nurturing a cluster of Spirit Void Earth Fire alongside a Tier Six Spirit Void Demon Sparrow, could it be that this cluster of Spirit Void Earth Fire is the lost Spiritual Fire of the Celestial Void Tripod?

Once the thought arose, Li Mu couldn’t resist wanting to go there at once.

If the Celestial Void Tripod can be restored, the difficulty in capturing some High Tier Demon Beast cubs becomes quite negligible.

Li Mu frowned and seriously contemplated, just ahead lies Huanlang Spirit Mountain, now should he first explore the cave mansion in Huanlang Spirit Mountain, or head directly to Celestial Phoenix Mountain to investigate Spirit Void Earth Fire, capture Demon Beast cubs, and then explore Huanlang Spirit Mountain?

Li Mu weighed the pros and cons and quickly made a decision.

Comparing to exploring an unknown Ancient Cultivator’s Cave Mansion, dealing with Demon Beasts seems more assured, less risky, so Li Mu decided to alter course and head to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, to first collect the Five Elements Spirit Beast, enhance his own strength, and then go to Huanlang Spirit Mountain to explore that Ancient Cultivator’s Cave Mansion.

Additionally, Li Mu plans to utilize the time during which the Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship flies to the destination to use the Tier Four Soul Wood Heart to refine a batch of Tier Four Clone Puppets.

Unlike dealing with cultivators, handling Demon Beasts is much simpler, allowing some scheming and tactical maneuvering.

With Clone Puppets, and Puppet Army, Spirit Talismans, traps, and such can all be utilized, when confronting High Tier Demon Beasts using Clone Puppets, Li Mu can entirely avoid risking himself.
