Chapter 376: Chapter 229: Nine Yin and Nine Yang

For five years, Li Mu had secluded himself in Yin Yang Valley, remaining there without leaving. While tending to Spirit Plants, he refined Spiritual Artifacts and Spirit Talismans, consuming a vast amount of Spiritual Materials stored aside. Apart from this, Li Mu spent more time on the Tier Eight Dao Scripture Fragment, “Divine Rune True Understanding.”

Five years passed, and Li Mu still couldn’t unravel the secrets of “Divine Rune True Understanding,” recording the content onto his proficiency panel. However, he did gain some unexpected insights.

“Divine Rune True Understanding” is a Tier Eight Dao Scripture Fragment containing a hint of ’Dao Essence.’ Li Mu studied the Tier Seven Artifact Pattern of the Celestial Fire Tripod, the Artifact Patterns of Painted Tier Treasure Mansion, and immersed himself in the fragmented patterns of Divine Rune True Understanding. Relying on the qualifications of the Five Elements Dao Body, he gradually touched upon a threshold of the Heavenly Dao Law, and though he didn’t achieve substantial gains, his entire demeanor underwent a tremendous transformation.

In the Cultivation Room, Li Mu sat cross-legged, wearing a blue Magic Robe. His demeanor was reserved, not a trace of Spiritual Pressure leaked, as if he had become a mortal.

This was the harvest Li Mu gained from studying the Dao Principle of “Divine Rune True Understanding”; the closer he got to the Dao Principle, the more ordinary his demeanor became, realizing the Power of Returning to Mortality.

“Still, not a single clue!”

Li Mu stored the “Divine Rune True Understanding” into the Storage Compartment, ending a day’s contemplation.

Then, the crunching sound of footsteps was heard as a puppet brought out a large tray carrying various Spiritual Cuisine delicacies and gently placed them on a round table in the courtyard.

Li Mu stood up, left the Cultivation Room, sat at the table, and began to enjoy the Spiritual Cuisine.

“Chirp!”

At this moment, Li Mu’s Spiritual Perception received a piece of information transmitted to him through the Spirit Taming Contract Seal by the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire.

While enjoying the delicacies, Li Mu was invigorated, quickly summoning the Celestial Fire Tripod.

As soon as the Celestial Fire Tripod appeared, its lid opened by itself. The Tier Seven Fire Phoenix Demon Egg and the Tier Six Nine Yang Spirit Grass, uplifted by a cluster of purple flames, slowly emerged from within the tripod.

The nine flaming leaves of the Nine Yang Spirit Grass had completely solidified, exuding abundant and powerful Fire Yang Power, evidently reaching a state of mature perfection.

The fiery mist covering the Tier Seven Fire Phoenix Demon Egg dissipated, and the egg’s shell, vibrant red and transparent, began to crack. A potent life force was released as a fledgling struggled to emerge from the egg, ready to break out.

The Nine Yang Spirit Grass and the Fire Phoenix Demon Egg matured simultaneously!

Li Mu was overjoyed and raised his right hand, releasing Spirit Power to collect the Nine Yang Spirit Grass.

Next, Li Mu took out a Frost Jade Box that had been stored for nearly a hundred years from the Storage Compartment. Inside the jade box lay a gray Spirit Grass, gathered with Yin Qi, appearing somewhat withered due to the long years of sealing.

[Nine Yin Spirit Grass]

[Grade: Tier Six Spirit Plants]

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

[Status: Long-term sealing, Yin Spirit power slightly dissipated.]

[A Nine Yin Spirit Grass formed from 1,500 medicinal age Yin Phoenix Grass, containing Extreme Yin Spiritual Power, extremely Yin to Yang, upon consumption has the effect of Spirit Awakening and enhancing the Divine Soul (raw consumption requires combination with Nine Yang Spirit Grass) and is one of the main materials for refining Nine Revolutions Soul Reviving Pill.]

Under the Innate Divine Power – Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, the attributes of the Nine Yin Spirit Grass were revealed in Li Mu’s eyes.

Gazing at the two Tier Six Spirit Plants, Li Mu felt eager and impatient, gauging the situation and consuming them together.

The Nine Yang Spirit Grass and the Nine Yin Spirit Grass entered his mouth simultaneously, transforming into powerful and conflicting Spiritual Powers, one hot and one cold, fiercely clashing and flushing around Li Mu’s body.

Li Mu’s eyes widened, veins bulging on his forehead, his complexion alternating between red and white as the formidable Spiritual Powers of the Nine Yin and Nine Yang frantically tempered his body and impacted his Divine Soul.

Enduring the pain, Li Mu fully operated the Yin Yang Five Elements Scripture, Spirit Devouring Body Nourishing Technique, and Star Nebula Observation Method, trying to absorb the powerful, frenetic, and contradictory Yin Yang Spiritual Power.

As time ticked away, the frenzied Spiritual Qi released by the Nine Yin and Nine Yang within Li Mu was suppressed. His Spiritual Pressure grew increasingly strong, indicating a breakthrough from the Early Stage Nascent Soul to the Mid-Stage Nascent Soul.

Li Mu ran all three Cultivation Techniques to their limits, rapidly consuming the medicinal power of the two Spirit Plants, converting it into his own strength.

The enormous medicinal power and unique properties of the two Spirit Plants brought about a comprehensive enhancement for him. His body strength, Divine Soul, and Root Bone Talent all showed significant improvements, making Li Mu feel unprecedentedly good.

After roughly half an hour, Li Mu fully digested the enormous medicinal power of the two Spirit Plants and opened his eyes to look at the proficiency panel.

The log on the proficiency panel displayed a dense array of new advancements, hundreds, thousands of entries flowing like a waterfall.

Li Mu’s eyes brightened as he looked toward the character panel.

Looking at the splendid attributes on the character panel, Li Mu was overjoyed, focusing particularly on the Hundred Arts skills like Artifact Refining Technique, Puppetry Technique, and Array Formation Technique, which were stuck at Level 5.

This consumption of Nine Yang Spirit Grass and Nine Yin Spirit Grass not only significantly enhanced his Cultivation and Divine Soul, but also caused a qualitative change in his talents, with both Spiritual Energy and Enlightenment increased. Li Mu felt that previously unsolved problems in Artifact Refining and Alchemy had loosened slightly.

Now, consuming free proficiency points might finally boost the levels of these Hundred Arts skills, which had been stuck for quite some time.

With thoughts turning into action, Li Mu focused on the panel, ready to increase the level of Artifact Refining Technique.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, a crisp cracking sound occurred. The shell of the Tier Seven – Chi Lian Fire Phoenix Demon Egg in front continued to fracture, rapid fire element bursting forth, a small, though enormously vital life appeared in the world.

“Chirp!”

A pair of lively, small eyes fixed on him, a delicate cry resonating.

Li Mu’s eyes sparkled brightly, entirely forgetting about upgrading Artifact Refining Technique, his spirit wholly captivated by the small life before him.
