Chapter 419: Chapter 247: Celestial Fox Bloodline (Part 2)

“Thank you!” Bai Jinling lowered her head and thanked Li Mu.

The next moment, with a swoosh, the figure of the Seven-tailed Giant Fox vanished into thin air, transforming into an elegant woman dressed in a white palace gown.

“Master, what kind of Spirit Pill do we need to eliminate the Demon Qi within the clan leader?” Bai Tianya asked with concern.

As soon as Bai Tianya finished speaking, Bai Jinling and the white-haired elder simultaneously looked at Li Mu, full of concern.

They had witnessed the terrifying nature of this Demon Qi. Once it clung to someone, it could not be easily removed. Instead, it would devour vitality and continually grow stronger until the host was completely demonized.

Li Mu frowned and pondered for a moment. After upgrading his Artifact Refining Technique to level 6, he also upgraded Alchemy, Puppetry Technique, and Array Formation Technique to level 6. This made his knowledge in the field of alchemy incredibly profound, and he knew of some Spirit Pills specifically targeting this kind of Demon Qi.

“To deal with this Demon Qi, low-tier Spirit Pills might not be effective. Tier Six Profound Mystery Clearing Pill, Tier Six Heaven-Burning Pill, or Tier Six Spiritual Radiance Pill should have the effect of removing the Demon Qi within the predecessor.” Li Mu thought for a while, then hinted to the three.

Upon hearing this, the three of them changed their expressions simultaneously.

The Spirit Pills Li Mu mentioned were extraordinarily valuable and uncommon. Spirit Pills above Tier Five or Tier Six could hardly be found even in Human Race Immortal Cities, let alone among the Demon Race, which was scarcely skilled in alchemy or artifact refining. Obtaining such Spirit Pills was even more challenging.

“Master, can you refine these Spirit Pills?” Bai Tianya asked Li Mu with concern.

Bai Tianya’s question seemed too presumptuous, causing both the white-haired elder and Bai Jinling to wrinkle their brows, feeling that his question was somewhat abrupt to their benefactor.

Li Mu, being so young and only at the Mid-Stage Nascent Soul cultivation, even if he were an Alchemy Master, how could he possibly refine Tier Six Spirit Pills?

However, Bai Tianya did not think so. He vividly remembered the scene where Li Mu handed out Tier Six Spiritual Treasures to his numerous Spirit Beast tamers, which made him somewhat believe that Li Mu could ’create’ another miracle.

If he were an Alchemy Grandmaster, then his mastery of Tier Seven Celestial Fire and the gifting of Tier Six Spiritual Treasures to every Spirit Beast tamer would be explainable.

“It should be possible, but I’ve never tried refining Tier Six Spirit Pills due to the lack of Tier Six Spirit Medicine,” Li Mu said to Bai Tianya, smiling apologetically.

What!

Hearing Li Mu’s words, the white-haired elder and Bai Jinling were stunned, full of disbelief.

“Master, can you refine Tier Six Spirit Pills? You can refine all of these Spirit Pills?” The white-haired elder asked Li Mu, his tone changing uncontrollably.

Just now, the master had shown a hand of Celestial Fire, which was extremely astonishing. His exquisite techniques had removed the Demon Qi within the clan leader, a method even he could not accomplish. Now, he boldly claimed he could refine Tier Six Spirit Pills, and the white-haired elder couldn’t help but believe him.

“Indeed, it’s possible, but refining Tier Six Spirit Pills is particularly difficult, and the success rate might not be high!” Li Mu smiled slightly, affirmatively nodding.

“Master, which Spirit Medicines are needed to refine these Spirit Pills? I will immediately send someone to gather them! There aren’t many other things in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, but there are plenty of Tier Six Spirit Medicines. At that time, we will trouble the master to refine the Pills!” Bai Jinling said to Li Mu ardently.

“That’s easily done! Quite a few Spirit Medicines are needed. I’ll record them on a Jade Scroll!” Li Mu nodded and began recording on a white Jade Scroll taken from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl.

“Predecessor, when collecting Spirit Medicines, please also help me gather some Spirit Seeds; I have a hobby of planting and cultivating Spirit Medicines. The more Spirit Seeds, the better.” After handing over the recorded white Jade Scroll, Li Mu smilingly requested.

“No problem, Master! Not only did you save me, but you also returned Xue’Er to our clan, which is like a rebirth grace. If you need anything, just let me know!” Bai Jinling accepted the Jade Scroll, expressing gratitude.

“Predecessor, no need to be formal!” Li Mu smiled and courteously refused, not taking advantage to make any excessive demands. If the Snow Fox Race could collect some Spirit Seeds while gathering those Spirit Medicines, it would be a beneficial exchange for him, as the Spirit Medicines needed for refining those high-tier Spirit Pills weren’t ordinary.

“Rest assured, clan leader! I will have everything the master needs prepared.” Bai Tianya promptly responded.

“Good! I will first go see Xue’Er. Tianya, take the master down to rest for now, and we’ll arrange a feast later,” Bai Jinling gestured to Li Mu and Bai Tianya.

Li Mu nodded and followed Bai Tianya out of the stone chamber.

…

Time flew by, and seven days passed.

To help the Snow Fox Clan master refine high-tier Spirit Pills, Li Mu temporarily resided in the Snow Fox Clan’s Imperial Palace, enjoying the tributes from the clan. Loads of high-tier Spiritual Materials and Spirit Medicines were continuously sent to him.

“Master Li, most of the Spirit Medicines required for refining the Supreme Profound Clarity Pill have been gathered, except for the Tier Six Purple Jade Spirit Ginseng. Is it absolutely necessary, or is there any substitute?” Bai Tianya came to Li Mu with a troubled expression, seeking his advice.

To eliminate the Demon Qi on the clan leader, Bai Tianya utilized the elite forces of the Snow Fox Race to gather high-tier Spirit Medicines everywhere. In just seven days, they almost amassed all the dozen Tier Six Spirit Medicines needed to refine the Supreme Profound Clarity Pill, except for the Tier Six Purple Jade Spirit Ginseng.

Upon hearing this, Li Mu furrowed his brows and began to ponder seriously.

During these seven days, Bai Tianya delivered numerous high-tier Spiritual Materials and Spirit Medicine seeds, and Xue’Er occasionally stopped by with gifts, providing Li Mu with unimaginable gains. The Tier Seven Spirit Treasure – Painting Realm Treasure Mansion and tens of thousands of acres of Spirit Fields were cultivated, planted with various high-tier Spirit Plants.

The harvest was more than he had gathered from other forces throughout the years.

“The Purple Jade Spirit Ginseng plays a role in balancing the medicinal effects and assisting in pill formation when refining the Supreme Profound Clarity Pill. It’s not as crucial; there are several Spirit Medicines of similar quality, such as Purple Mist Reishi or Kui Yin Spirit Grass, without weakening the medicine properties.” Li Mu pondered for a moment, then confirmed to Bai Tianya.

“I see, Kui Yin Spirit Grass can be found in Black Mist Mountain, I will go get it immediately!” Bai Tianya’s spirits lifted, and he indicated to Li Mu.

After speaking, Bai Tianya turned to leave.

“Black Mist Mountain!”

Upon hearing the familiar place name, Li Mu was taken aback for a moment and quickly stopped Bai Tianya, who was about to leave: “Predecessor, please wait a moment!”

“Master Li, do you have any instructions?” Bai Tianya turned back to Li Mu, puzzled.

“Predecessor, can I accompany you?” Li Mu indicated to Bai Tianya with suggestion.

“Together, how can that be! Black Mist Mountain is mysterious and the domain of Yin Beasts, extremely dangerous. Our clan seldom interacts with them. The groups occupying this mountain are the Nether Lion clan, and it’s also the gathering place for numerous Ghost Wood Demon Spirits. Taking you to this mountain, I’m afraid I won’t be able to look after you!” Bai Tianya explained to Li Mu with a frown.

“Why don’t you stay in the clan while I retrieve the Kui Yin Spirit Grass for you?” Bai Tianya kindly suggested to Li Mu after speaking.

“Oh! So Black Mist Mountain is that dangerous! Predecessor, may I know the situation in Ten Thousand Peach Mountain and Cyan Wood Forest?” Li Mu nodded, asking Bai Tianya with concern.

Upon hearing this, Bai Tianya gave Li Mu a curious glance and provided detailed information about the two spiritual lands.

Like Black Mist Mountain, these two spiritual lands are the main habitats of high-tier Demon Races. Ten Thousand Peach Mountain is shrouded in peach flower miasma all year round, with a large number of Peach Tree Demons and poisonous scorpion strange insects gathering. It’s also the territory of the Fierce Tiger clan; Cyan Wood Forest is similar, a swampy area veiled in fog throughout the year, packed with Corpse Demons and Bone Demons.

There’s not a single safe place in the core areas of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range.

Li Mu’s mere Nascent Soul cultivation is insignificant in these places; other Demon Races wouldn’t ask him if he’s an Alchemy Master before attacking.

High-tier Demon Races hold grudges, having suffered at the hands of high-tier Human Race cultivators. Taking Li Mu to places filled with high-tier Demon Races would make Bai Tianya uncertain of his ability to protect him.

Rejected multiple times by Bai Tianya, Li Mu reluctantly gave up, still looking to utilize the other’s combat power to capture a high-tier Wood-type Demon Beast!

However, aware of the Snow Fox Race’s general disdain for Human Race cultivators who enslaved Demon Beasts, Li Mu did not audaciously make such requests.

Watching Bai Tianya leave, Li Mu did not insist but continued refining Tier Five Alchemy, preparing for the upcoming refinement of the Supreme Profound Clarity Pill.
