Chapter 460: Chapter 265: The Price of Refining Treasure (Part 2)

“Great! Great! Master Li, I’ll wait for your good news!” Hearing Li Mu’s offer, Saintess Lian Yue was overjoyed and hurriedly signaled.

“Alright!” Li Mu nodded happily.

Seeing the two reach a deal, Elder Ye Quan couldn’t help but be tempted as well and hurriedly said, “Master Li, our Sect also has high-tier spirit plants,…”

“Sure, just bring them!” Li Mu nodded without hesitation.

Having said that, Li Mu took out the Gilded Cyan Light Lamp from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl and returned it to Elder Ye Quan, smilingly asking, “This lamp is yours. Have any results been comprehended from the ’Divine Rune True Understanding’? If not, return it to me!”

Elder Ye Quan chuckled bitterly, took the Bronze Lamp with reluctance, and returned the ’Divine Rune True Understanding’ to Li Mu.

Confirming the situation, Li Mu smiled as he accepted the ’Divine Rune True Understanding’.

“Master Li, have you discovered anything from the Artifact Patterns of this ancient lamp?” Elder Ye Quan took the Gilded Cyan Light Lamp and asked with concern.

Saintess Lian Yue glanced over, also concerned.

After thinking for a moment, Li Mu took out the Streamlight Extreme Shadow Sword from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, showing it to both of them, he said, “This spirit sword was refined by me based on the artifact patterns of the Spirit Lamp, you can take a look.”

Elder Ye Quan hurriedly received the Streamlight Extreme Shadow Sword, injecting spiritual power into the spirit sword, and it vanished into flowing light with deadly beauty.

“What a good sword! How did you understand the artifact attribute of this spirit sword from the lamp?” Elder Ye Quan instantly fell in love with the Streamlight Extreme Shadow Sword and asked Li Mu with concern.

“Mostly! The lamp’s body is severely damaged, and I’ve comprehended only a few patterns, but one thing I can confirm is that this lamp is definitely not a secret realm key but a Realm-Breaking Lantern with the Fixed Light, Breaking the Realm ability, containing a certain Power of Time!” Li Mu looked at Elder Ye Quan and Saintess Lian Yue, speaking decisively.

Hearing this, Elder Ye Quan and Saintess Lian Yue exchanged a glance, seeing disbelief in each other’s eyes.

“Thank you, Master Li, for your guidance. However, since it concerns the Innate Sect, we still decided to take it for examination.” Elder Ye Quan thanked stubbornly.

“Mm! As you wish!” Li Mu smiled slightly, not persuading further, and looked at the two as he hinted for them to leave: “If there’s nothing else, we’ll leave it at that! I want to continue my closed-door artifact refining, you may leave!”

“Alright, alright! We won’t disturb Master Li anymore!”

Saintess Lian Yue and Elder Ye Quan nodded together, returning the Streamlight Extreme Shadow Sword to Li Mu and bid farewell.

As soon as they finished speaking, the two controlled their swords to fly swiftly out of Linggu, turning into two black dots quickly vanishing into the horizon.

“They’ve finally left!! These days have scared me to death!”

Xue’Er flew to Li Mu’s side, together gazing toward the sky, seeing the two leave, patting her small chest and saying.

“What did they do to you! How did they scare you?” Li Mu withdrew his gaze, turning to look at Xue’Er with amusement.

“That woman was okay, speaking quite gently and was polite to me, but that old man wasn’t right, always holding a book, acting all jittery, I was really afraid he’d go crazy! He is a Divinity Transformation senior, almost lost his mind, isn’t that scary?” Xue’Er said with fear on her face.

“You should cultivate well, break through to tier six early, then you won’t be afraid, otherwise, many Divinity Transformation cultivators will visit, and worrying every day isn’t good!” Li Mu laughed heartily, teasing Xue’Er.

“Always asking me to meditate and cultivate, I haven’t seen you meditate and cultivate!” Xue’Er looked at Li Mu with frustration, grumbling in complaint.

Li Mu was slightly stunned, thinking of something amusing, and couldn’t help but laugh, “Hahaha! We’re different!”

“What’s so different, my mother said I’m also a genius, with the Celestial Fox Ancestral Return bloodline, once I activate the bloodline, I’ll cultivate faster than you!” Xue’Er pouted, arguing with dissatisfaction.

Li Mu stopped laughing, gently stroking Xue’Er’s head to comfort her, “Alright! Quickly take the spirit pill I gave you, activate the Celestial Fox bloodline soon, and strive to surpass me early!”

After speaking, Li Mu walked toward the Artifact Refining Room.

As for cultivation, from promoting to the Foundation Establishment Realm, relying on the Innate Divine Technique of Plant Spirit Absorption, Li Mu hasn’t cultivated anymore, focusing solely on planting various spirit plants, harvesting Plant Spirit Light Groups, thereby enhancing cultivation, so why cultivate?

Li Mu entered the Artifact Refining Room, and the heavy stone door slowly closed again.

Watching Li Mu enter the Artifact Refining Room, Xue’Er pouted, her mood somewhat depressed. Since Xiaojin and Xiaowa went out adventuring, the entire Linggu left only her. As for Xiaobai and the Little Fire Phoenix, they were always sleeping, increasing their cultivation, having no time for her.

“Sigh! If only I could go on adventures with Xiaojin and the others, that would be great!”

Xue’Er sighed regretfully, feeling bored, consumed a spirit pill, and sat down to focus on cultivation.

——

In the South Wilderness Spirit Realm, at the Thousand Stars Island Sea Region, Giant Snake Island.

A tier six Double-Horned Flood Dragon appeared on the island with two Demon Apes and a Rock Lizard. Along their way, giant snakes were cut into two sections, with snakeheads turned into mush, countless writhing snake bodies paving a forest trail, blood pooling into a river.

“Boss, you sure you’re not leading us astray! It’s getting more and more off the path, ah! Damn it! Die!”

Xiaojin turned to ask the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon, just then, a black giant snake suddenly launched a sneak attack from the shadows, biting Xiaojin’s leg and injecting a mouthful of venom in an attempt to quickly poison the enemy.

Xiaojin got angry, summoned a golden large knife and swung it down instantly.

With a “slash!” sound, the enormous snakehead shot into the sky, blood spurted several feet high, and the massive, barrel-thick headless body rolled wildly, breaking ancient trees and scattering stones and severed branches, leaving a scene of devastation!

The severed giant snake body fell to the ground, blood staining the path red, while the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon, another Demon Ape, and the Rock Lizard seemed accustomed to this scene, paying it no mind. They continued along the path, heading into the depths of the forest.

Shortly after, a Red Python disguised as a dead tree branch suddenly opened its bloody mouth, hissing, launching an attack on the Rock Lizard.

At this moment, the tier six Long-armed Ape hurriedly stepped forward to assist, wielding a golden staff, swinging it down like a fierce thunderbolt.

With a “boom!” the golden staff struck precisely on the black giant snake’s head, pulverizing it instantly, quickly resolving the opponent.

Seeing this scene, Xiaojin couldn’t help having second thoughts; there were too many giant snakes on this island, making it impossible to defend against them!

If not for the master Li Mu painstakingly preparing spirit pills, antidotes, and spirit treasures for them before departure, they couldn’t have ventured deep into this island.

“What exactly is hidden on this island? So many giant snakes are gathering here! And more are gathering! Big brother?” Xiaojin’s heart was filled with even more doubts, asking the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon.

“That’s right! Keep going! We’re almost there!” The Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon led the way ahead, looking at the jade scroll as it walked, its tone filled with excitement.

According to the map information recorded in the jade scroll, the final three miles ahead contains the core area of Giant Snake Island, where a dragon’s tomb is buried, a place many Human Race Cultivators adventure to seek, carrying great risks.

Dragon’s Tomb is the birthplace of Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass and various Yinxi Elixirs, many precious spirit medicines are essential tools on the cultivation path, and crucial for many beast tamers and demon beasts to enhance lineage, talent, and all-around improvement.

Under the guidance of the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon, they traversed the forest, getting closer and closer to their destination.

Suddenly, a peculiar fragrance filled the air, unique to the vicinity of a dragon’s tomb?

Countless giant snakes converging from all around, their numbers increasing, as if attracted by something, heading in a particular direction, blocking the path of the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon, Xiaojin, and the others completely.
