I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 598 - 328: Jade Bamboo Spirit Sword

"Great! Let’s begin!" Li Mu said with a cheerful smile. With the assistance of the Red Phoenix Fire Phoenix and the Cyan Moon True Dragon, he was certain that he could refine enough Jade Bamboo Spirit Swords in a short time to promote Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.

In the days that followed, Li Mu, together with the Chi Lian Fire Phoenix and the Cyan Moon True Dragon, immersed themselves in the world of artifact refining. They continued to use the Water and Fire Technique, constantly refining Jade Bamboo Spirit Swords. With the refinement of each batch of Spirit Swords, Li Mu’s Heart Realm and artifact refining skill both saw significant improvement.

Of course, Li Mu did not forget the dozen or so High-Tier Spirit Treasure refining commissions. After mastering the Water and Fire Dual Technique refining skill, he began to focus entirely on completing these tasks.

In the blink of an eye, nearly half a month passed, and Li Mu had to temporarily set aside his artifact refining work to return to Crescent Island to care for the Purple Sun Reishi and Yin Soul Fruit.

These two Spirit Plants were crucial to his cultivation, hence Li Mu decided to let the Chi Lian Fire Phoenix and the Cyan Moon True Dragon rest for the time being, allowing them to reflect on the experience and gains from this extensive artifact refining session.

As soon as Li Mu emerged from his chamber, Liu Yalan and Xue’Er came up to him.

"Master, it’s good you’re finally out! These days several elders have come to visit you, likely to commission artifact refining!"

Liu Yalan said, looking at Li Mu with excitement.

"Hmm! Right now, a Divinity Transformation elder, Venerable Huang Long, is waiting in the parlor! He has come several times. I told him you were refining artifacts in the chamber and to come back in a few days, yet this personality of his is quite peculiar!" Xue’Er frowned, indicating to Li Mu.

"Oh? What’s peculiar about him?" Li Mu did not underestimate Xue’Er’s sensitivity to emotions. With her Celestial Fox bloodline and unique talent, she had a profound knack for detecting emotions and sentiments.

"It’s hard to say; his demeanor and speech just make me feel somewhat uneasy. Master Li, when you discuss the artifact refining commission with him later, let me serve by your side!" Xue’Er’s eyes twinkled as she looked at Li Mu, suggesting.

"Alright! Take me to meet him!" Li Mu nodded with a smile, suddenly remembering something. He looked at Liu Yalan and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, please inform Isle Master Ye and Elder Chen Xuanzi to collect their Spiritual Treasures; their treasures have been refined!"

"Alright! Alright!" Liu Yalan replied with delight and excitement.

During these days, Li’s Treasure Tower was almost in a semi-operational state, business was slow, and income greatly affected. Successfully delivering the Tier Six Spiritual Treasures refined for the two elders would certainly promote Li’s Treasure Tower.

Liu Yalan looked at Li Mu with anticipation in her eyes: "Master, the Treasure Tower’s stock of Spiritual Objects is insufficient; have you found a new source? Or should I help you find one?"

Li Mu smiled and shook his head: "No need, I’ll handle it."

"Hmm! Take these for now and see if they can last a while!" With that, Li Mu handed Liu Yalan a Storage Ring.

Inside the Storage Ring were Spirit Pills, Spirit Talismans refined by the Ginseng King, and Six Arms during this period, and part of the Tier Four Spirit Swords discarded by Ten Thousand Swords Mountain. Henceforth, all Tier Four and Tier Five Lower Grade Spirit Swords in Ten Thousand Swords Mountain would be replaced with Tier Five Top Grade Jade Bamboo Spirit Swords.

At that time, more than two thousand lower and higher tier Spirit Swords could be replaced, which would be enough for Li’s Treasure Tower to sell for a period of time.

Liu Yalan took the Storage Ring, infused her Divine Sense, and couldn’t help but smile. The Storage Ring was packed with various Spirit Pills, Spirit Talismans, and, more strikingly, hundreds of Tier Four and Tier Five Spirit Swords.

"Xue’Er, let’s go!" Li Mu looked at Xue’Er and signaled with a smile.

Xue’Er nodded and led Li Mu to the guest room.

When Li Mu and Xue’Er entered the guest room, Venerable Huang Long was already sitting there, his face slightly somber, seemingly with a hint of concern. Seeing Li Mu and Xue’Er come in, he immediately stood up and asked with concern: "Miss Xue’Er, is Master Li’s artifact refining over?"

Xue’Er slightly turned sideways, revealing Li Mu behind her, respectfully introducing him to Venerable Huang Long: "Elder Huang, this is Master Li of our Li’s Treasure Tower!"

Only then did Venerable Huang Long shift his gaze to Li Mu, his eyes carrying a touch of scrutiny and inquiry, carefully examining Li Mu, wanting to discern something extraordinary about him.

After a brief silence, Venerable Huang Long appeared pleasantly surprised, looking at Li Mu, exclaiming: "Really? So this is Master Li? Forgive my poor eyesight, one cannot judge a book by its cover. Master Li looks so young yet possesses such exceptional artifact refining skills, truly admirable!"

"Elder Huang flatters me!" Li Mu smiled in response, looking at Venerable Huang Long with concern, "I wonder what kind of Spirit Treasure Elder Huang wants to commission?"

Upon hearing this, a mysterious gleam flickered in Venerable Huang Long’s eyes as he responded: "Master Li, I have come this time to request you to refine a Tier Six Spirit Sword with powerful lethality."

Venerable Huang Long paused as if considering how to describe the features of this Spirit Sword, then continued: "This Spirit Sword needs to possess extreme sharpness and have a strong armor-penetrating effect. Moreover, it must contain a certain degree of Soul-Destroying Power capable of inflicting severe soul injuries to enemies."

"Hmm, I’m quite skilled in refining Spirit Swords!" Li Mu nodded, not surprised, as Spirit Swords, being one of the most common weapons for cultivators, were the most requested in over a dozen artifact refining commissions, with exceedingly high refining skill demands.

"I wonder if Elder Huang has prepared suitable artifact refining Spiritual Materials? May I take a look?" Li Mu asked, looking at Venerable Huang Long. He needed to understand the materials used for better refining.
