With the effect of Innate Divine Power – Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, Li Mu immediately acquired all the information about the wine bottle and the spirit wine within.

After taking a big gulp, the Golden Flame Spirit Wine transformed into streams of warmth coursing through his entire body.

Li Mu let out a comfortable hum, operated the Full Level Spirit Devouring Body Nourishing Technique, rapidly digesting the spiritual power of the spirit wine, and his cultivation immediately gained a noticeable boost.

Watching Li Mu gulp down the spirit wine vigorously, with the posture of being able to drink the entire bottle, Venerable Kun Ling couldn’t help but twitch his lips, feeling a pang of heartache.

“Alright! Alright! Leave some for me! This wine can’t be drunk too much!” Venerable Kun Ling snatched the wine bottle from Li Mu, speaking with distress.

“Thank you, elder, this wine is really great!” Li Mu smiled sheepishly, showing a look of lingering desire, thinking he would also brew some high-tier spirit wine someday, hoping to obtain the brewing recipe for this Tier Four – Golden Flame Spirit Wine!

“You brat, this is how you drink Tier Four Spirit Wine! No wonder you have such capabilities.” Venerable Kun Ling looked seriously at Li Mu, speaking with a depth of meaning.

Li Mu instantly understood, Venerable Kun Ling definitely had more complex reasons for keeping him!

“Elder, the wine has been drunk, shouldn’t we be straightforward now?” Li Mu smiled slightly, looking at Venerable Kun Ling and asking.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Kun Ling’s eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, and he chuckled, “Since you know I have another purpose, why dare to board the ship?”

“Why not dare, elder, if you had malicious intentions, why save me! Furthermore, with your strength, there’s no need for such trouble!” Li Mu spoke frankly, but secretly remained vigilant.

Venerable Kun Ling laughed heartily, took a swig of spirit wine, looked at Li Mu and said, “Originally uncertain, now I roughly know your true identity. I indeed have a favor to ask, wondering if Sword Immortal Li could refine a Tier Six Spiritual Artifact for me?”

What?

Li Mu looked at Venerable Kun Ling in surprise, not expecting him to reveal his identity so directly.

“Haha! I didn’t guess wrong, you truly are ’Sword Immortal Li’, fellow Daoist Li, you really hid yourself well. If not for your use of that Tier Six Five Elements Spiritual Treasure, and mastery of array formations, effortlessly destroying the array artifact of the purple light, even facing the Nascent Soul Realm and the venomous Ji Yun with such composure, combining all these clues, I wouldn’t have guessed it was you!” Venerable Kun Ling laughed heartily, having observed for a long time with mere testing, unexpectedly having his guess confirmed.

Li Mu’s gaze was deep, his True Essence quietly mobilizing, ready to strike if the situation turned dire!

“Fellow Daoist Li, no need to worry, I harbor no ill intent towards you. I was close friends with Venerable Qingwei, the previous Sect Master of Spirit Taming Sect. Recently, Spirit Taming Sect faced a calamity; I wanted to help but the journey was too far. Thankfully, due to your assistance, the crisis was averted. After conversing with him, he praised you highly.” Venerable Kun Ling smiled through his beard, a genuine smile on his aged face.

Upon hearing this, Li Mu slightly relaxed the heavy stone in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Venerable Kun Ling was indeed friends with Venerable Qingwei! This was somewhat beyond his expectations.

“Elder, I didn’t deliberately hide my identity; it was truly unavoidable, hope for your understanding!” Li Mu nodded, slightly relaxing his guard, and respectfully apologized.

“Your deeds, I’ve also heard of. The mere Independent Cultivator Alliance and Mountain and River Sect are insignificant; even if they join forces, they aren’t a match for me. If they dare trouble you, inform me, I wouldn’t mind dealing with them.” Venerable Kun Ling confidently and assuredly stated.

Even within the same Divinity Transformation Realm, there are differences in strength, mostly related to cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts.

The Kun Family is one of the Eight Great Clans of Central State. Li Mu, from previous dealings with a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, purchased intelligence which included information about major powers, naturally including the Ji Family and Kun Family, these two clans being long-established powerful families in Central State.

Their heritage is exceedingly deep, and their cultivation techniques are top-tier, unearthed only through arduous searches, standing among the foremost of their realm when successfully cultivated.

Not only that, the Eight Great Clans are exceptionally wealthy, whether disciples or elders, their spiritual artifacts are all top-notch.

During previous battles, Venerable Kun Ling wielded a Spirit Axe, a Tier Five Pseudo Spirit Treasure, enhancing his power considerably, combined with his cultivation technique.

Therefore, even in the same Divinity Transformation Realm, cultivators from the Eight Great Clans can face three or even five adversaries alone, potentially overpowering them.

Li Mu was naturally pleased with Venerable Kun Ling’s goodwill, yet he also faced dilemmas, apologetically saying, “Elder Kun, while I am willing to refine spiritual artifacts for you, currently I can only refine Tier Five Spiritual Artifacts, with a high failure rate for Tier Six. At the moment, I lack the assurance.”
