Chapter 364: Chapter 223: Tier Six Spirit Seed

Li Mu headed straight to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, showed his Lower Guest Minister Token to the gatekeeper, and went directly into the inner hall of the pavilion.

Lin Baoqing, who was inquiring, hurried over and warmly greeted, “Master Li, you’re here! Unfortunately, you’re a step too late. If you had come earlier, this time’s Spiritual Artifacts could have been sold quickly.”

“No problem, there aren’t many Spiritual Artifacts refined this time, so it’s okay to sell them slowly,” Li Mu waved his hand nonchalantly, then changed the topic and asked with concern, “How about it? Any leads on the materials I asked you to keep an eye on?”

These years, Li Mu had been hiding in the Yin Yang Valley to take care of Spirit Plants, refine Spiritual Artifacts, and exchange for Spiritual Objects from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, preparing for the promotion of the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion with high-level Spiritual Objects.

As time passed and a lot of high-level Spiritual Objects were provided, the upgrade of the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion was still a long process. However, the Pocket World had changed in appearance over the years. Within it, Li Mu searched for various Spiritual Objects that facilitated the growth of Spirit Plants and planted a large number of Tier Four and Tier Five Spirit Plants.

Besides the Five Elements Spirit Plants and Yin Yang Spirit Plants, twenty-something types of Tier Four Spirit Plants and seven or eight types of Tier Five Spirit Plants have all survived. Additionally, within the Pocket World, Tianyan Divine Monarch has planted hundreds of kinds of Spirit Plants, Spirit Medicines, and Spirit Grasses, making it extremely rich.

Selling these Spirit Plants was too troublesome. Therefore, during this time, Li Mu casually learned Alchemy and upgraded his Alchemy to Level Five, becoming a bona fide Alchemy Master.

Li Mu refined various Spirit Pills from the abundant Spirit Medicines and Spirit Grasses to support the growth of four Beast Taming creatures, selling the surplus Spirit Pills under Master Ye’s identity to the Heaven Returning Tower and the Celestial Secret Pavilion.

Li Mu was preparing to sell the harvest of this artifact refining to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, then visit the Heaven Returning Tower to sell the recently refined Spirit Pills, and finally go to the Celestial Secret Pavilion to purchase special Spiritual Objects.

For once, Li Mu left the Yin Yang Valley, planning his journey fully to sell the Spiritual Artifacts and Spirit Pills he refined in seclusion at Yin Yang Valley, supplementing various Spiritual Object resources.

“Yes, yes, most of the Spiritual Objects you need have been collected and are inside. However, the Tier Six Five Elements Materials are indeed rare and expensive. Some are so overpriced that I didn’t dare to take them on my own authority; Master Li, you’ll need to see them yourself.” Lin Baoqing promptly handed a Storage Ring to Li Mu with respect.

“Oh!” Li Mu frowned slightly, reached out to take the Storage Ring, and explored it with his Divine Sense.

After examining the Spiritual Objects in the Storage Ring, Li Mu couldn’t help but feel some anger as some Tier Six Spiritual Objects were missing.

The Painting Realm Treasure Mansion is at a critical stage of promotion, requiring timely supply of various Spiritual Objects. If the promotion fails due to a lack of materials, the loss would be huge!

“Master Li, perhaps you are displeased. Currently, there’s a high-end private transaction meeting for Nascent Soul Realm and Divinity Transformation Realm individuals. Some Venerable Divinity Transformations have the materials Master Li needs. Perhaps you should attend!” Sensing Li Mu’s displeasure, Lin Baoqing suggested nervously.

“High-end private transaction meeting?”

Hearing this, Li Mu was slightly taken aback and couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

Li Mu recalled attending a Foundation Establishment cultivator’s private transaction meeting during the Qi Refining Stage, where he acquired ’Xiaobai’s’ mother, the Tier Four Seven-Colored Illusion Demon Butterfly, and the Hub Array Token of Tianyan Divine Monarch’s cave. At the meeting, he made two significant finds.

With the help of his Innate Divine Power – Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, he might also make some unexpected gains at this high-end private transaction meeting! Li Mu couldn’t help but feel tempted.

“Yes! The high-end private transaction meeting, where the offspring of the eight great families of Central State, the Three Saintesses of the Ancient Moon Sect, and several Divinity Transformation Cultivators will attend. Surely some high-tier Spiritual Objects will appear. Master Li, if you’d like to attend, I can secure a spot for you to make up for the shortfall in your materials purchase this time.” Lin Baoqing smiled slightly, providing a detailed introduction to Li Mu.

Hearing this, Li Mu frowned and hesitated about whether to attend; he was no longer the novice who just entered the Cultivation World. Such meetings meant exposing himself, and if any unexpected events happened, it would not be good!

“Master Li, are you worried about safety issues? The attendees of this transaction meeting are all prominent figures, and the meeting is hosted by the renowned Venerable Tianyuan. At the time, I’ll have Elder Qian escort Master Li, ensuring nothing unexpected happens.” Lin Baoqing noticed Li Mu’s concern and promptly arranged.

“Hmm! When does this transaction meeting begin?” Li Mu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief and asked with concern upon hearing this.

“The transaction meeting’s time and place are set for three days later at the Celestial Essence Temple on Celestial Essence Mountain, the Taoist field of Venerable Tianyuan. By then, I’ll ensure Venerable Tianyuan takes good care of Master Li.” Lin Baoqing looked at Li Mu and smiled, gesturing assurance.

“Then I’ll trouble you, Shopkeeper Lin!” Li Mu happily nodded.

Recalling something, Li Mu handed a Storage Ring to Lin Baoqing, indicating, “Oh, this is the new batch of Spiritual Artifacts just refined. Please have a look, Shopkeeper Lin.”

Lin Baoqing promptly accepted the Storage Ring and examined it with his Divine Sense, discovering a dozen or so Tier Four and Tier Five Spiritual Artifacts, each imbued with abundant Spiritual Energy and exceptional Grade.

“Master Li, your Artifact Refining Skill is as outstanding as ever!” Lin Baoqing was overjoyed, giving Li Mu a bright smile and complimenting him.

“It’s just so-so! There’s still an impassable chasm to refining Tier Six Spirit Treasures!” Li Mu smiled slightly, appearing somewhat regretful.

It’s still over a decade before the Nine Yang Spirit Grass matures inside the Celestial Void Tripod. Once matured, he plans to ingest it alongside the Nine Yin Spirit Grass, hoping it might improve his talent, enhance his Spiritual Energy, and upgrade his Artifact Refining Skill Level, though it’s uncertain.

Regarding the reward posted at the Celestial Secret Pavilion for Spiritual Objects, twelve years have passed without receiving valuable intelligence feedback, reducing hope in that direction.

“Master Li, there are only a handful of Artifact Refining Grandmasters who can refine Tier Six Spirit Treasures; you are still very young, and one day you will succeed!” Lin Baoqing looked at Li Mu with sincerity, encouraging him.

Li Mu nodded and said nothing more, as they chatted casually about the gossip concerning army deployment, then concluded the meeting.

After leaving the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, Li Mu found an inn in Floating Harbor to temporarily stay in, then disguised himself as a fifty-year-old Alchemist using a Spirit Fox Mask as ’Master Ye’ and headed to the Heaven Returning Tower.

The Heaven Returning Tower is a Spirit Pill shop set up by the Rejuvenation Medicine Sect of the Central State Spirit Realm in Desolate Ancient City, specializing in the purchase and sale of high-tier Spirit Grass and Spirit Pills.

Upon his entrance into the shop, a young and attractive female shopkeeper warmly welcomed Li Mu.

“Master Ye, you’re here. Please, come in. Xiaoqiu, go make some Spirit Tea.” The lady in the red dress ran over to Li Mu and warmly guided him, hastily instructing the maidservant in the green dress beside her.

Li Mu smiled slightly and followed the lady in the red dress to the VIP room, “Shopkeeper Xu, there’s no need for formalities!”

“It’s necessary, it’s necessary. Master Ye, it’s hard to have you here. Not disappointing, I’ve collected all the Spirit Plant Seeds you wanted last time, please take a look.” Xu Xiangyi took out a Storage Ring from her pocket and handed it respectfully to Li Mu.

Receiving the still-warm Storage Ring, Li Mu eagerly infused his Divine Sense and ’saw’ the Jade Boxes containing high-tier Spirit Plant Seeds inside.

The Fifth-Tier—Golden Flame Spirit Flower Seed, Fire Attribute Spirit Plant, Fifth-Tier—Celestial Ku Wood Spirit Seed, Wood Attribute Spirit Plant, … In total, there were more than a dozen kinds of Fourth-Tier and Fifth-Tier Spirit Plant Seeds, and even two kinds of Tier Six Spirit Seeds, the Sixth-Tier—Yanyuan Spirit Grass, and the Sixth-Tier—Mouxing Spirit Grass Seeds, each having hundreds of seeds.

“Great! Shopkeeper Xu, you’ve given me a big surprise! I’m very satisfied with this batch of materials.” Li Mu smiled happily at Xu Xiangyi after examining the contents of the Storage Ring.

Tier Six Spirit Plant Seeds, and two types, at that! Over the years, he had commissioned both the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion and the Celestial Secret Pavilion to search, to no avail, not to mention the numerous Fifth-Tier Spirit Plant Seeds. Specialized tasks are best left to the professionals, and the quantity of high-tier Spirit Plants possessed by the Rejuvenation Medicine Sect is immense.

This line of thought on learning Alchemy was right!

“Master Ye, as long as you’re satisfied. To get these Spirit Plant Seeds for you, I did put in quite an effort!” Xu Xiangyi smiled slightly, gesturing to Li Mu.

Understandingly, Li Mu returned a smile and quickly took out a Storage Bag, presenting it with both hands.
