I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 135: Chapter 111: Exchanging Spirit Plants

Handing the Disciple Token to Yin Xianwen, he operated the token to help him receive these four artifact refining tasks.

Li Mu retrieved the Disciple Token and also received four Storage Bags containing refining materials. The quantity of materials was enough to refine two Spiritual Artifacts. As long as he delivered one successful artifact, the leftover materials would belong to him, plus sect contributions to claim.

This arrangement was extremely beneficial for Li Mu!

This was standard for other Artifact Refiners because of the high failure rate. However, for Li Mu, it was different. With a Level 5 Refining Technique and Divine Refining and Spirit Fusion Divine Techniques, his success rate for refining Tier Four Spiritual Artifacts exceeded 90%.

Were it not for the limitation of insufficient spiritual energy, elevating the refining technique to Level 6 could achieve a 100% success rate for Tier Four Spiritual Artifacts.

He needed to find a way to quickly obtain high-tier Spirit Plants that enhanced spiritual energy.

Having received the refining tasks and materials, Li Mu cheerfully bid farewell to Hundred Refinement Peak and headed to Supreme Profound Peak’s contribution storage area to exchange the necessary Spiritual Objects.

Previously, the 100,000 contributions from completing the ’Huan Xue Divine Child’ bounty task weren’t deducted despite claiming Level A Moon Jade Peak. Instead, reaching this contribution amount let one exchange for a Level A Spirit Peak; otherwise, only D-level Spirit Peak could be exchanged.

A grand sum of 100,000 contribution points was more than even a Golden Core True Inheritance could muster. Li Mu was able to exchange many high-tier Spiritual Objects from the contribution storage area.

At Supreme Profound Peak’s Contribution Hall, Sword-Controlling Disciples were bustling around, receiving tasks, submitting tasks, and claiming resources—far more lively than Hundred Refinement Peak.

Li Mu, wearing a golden Elder Robe, received respect wherever he went from Foundation Establishment Disciples.

”Greetings, Elder!”

”White Cloud Peak disciple, Mu Shiqi, pays respects to Elder!”

...

The Foundation Establishment Disciples greeted Li Mu one after another with disciple courtesies.

This first-time ordeal left Li Mu unsure whether to return the gesture or not.

Li Mu kept a straight face and ignored them all, walking towards the Contribution Exchange Room expressionless.

”Elder, please take my place,” a Foundation Establishment Disciple ahead offered his spot eagerly to Li Mu.

”Mm!” Li Mu acknowledged lightly and naturally moved to the front.

Soon after, as the previous disciples exited the exchange room, Li Mu followed closely behind, entering the material exchange room, and the door closed, isolating outside Divine Sense probing.

The Management Disciple inside, seeing someone of Elder rank arrive, promptly stood up to welcome.

”Greetings, Elder! Disciple Wang Changming, what materials would you like to exchange?” the Management Disciple respectfully asked and introduced himself to Li Mu.

”Give me a catalogue of Spirit Plant Seeds for me to choose from,” Li Mu handed over his Identity Token indicating it.

”Certainly, Elder, please have a look. All listed Spirit Seeds are available.” Management Disciple Wang Changming received the token and promptly handed a Cyan Jade Scroll to Li Mu.

Li Mu accepted the catalogue scroll and immersed his Divine Sense to begin swift selection.

Prioritizing high-tier Spirit Plant Seeds.

Celestial Moon Spirit Fruit, Tier Five Spirit Seed, 3000 points contribution each

Purple Gold Bell Flower, Tier Five Spirit Seed, 2800 points contribution each

Blood Purifying Lotus Seed: Tier Five Spirit Seed, 2500 points contribution each

...

”Are Spirit Seeds only available up to Tier Five? Only 12 kinds of Tier Five Spirit Plant Seeds? Why are their exchange prices different?” Li Mu frowned at the Contribution Disciple, concernedly asking.

”Elder, there are still a few Tier Six Spirit Seeds, but they are only available to the Sect Master and Supreme Elders. The differing exchange prices are due to their functions and cultivation difficulties, which the Sect Master personally determined,” Management Disciple Wang Changming replied respectfully to Li Mu.

”Mm! Exchange one of each of the 12 Tier Five Spirit Seeds, ten of each of the 39 Tier Four Spirit Seeds, I’m going to experiment with them. Also: exchange 10 acres of Tier Three Golden Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, 10 acres of Tier Three Ice Purple Spirit Flower Spirit Seeds, 10 acres of Tier Three Celestial Vein Fruit Spirit Seeds, 10 acres of Tier Three Illusionary Divine Grass Spirit Seeds, 10 acres of Tier Three Qingxu Spirit Tea Spirit Seeds, 20 acres of Tier Two Yellow Tooth Spirit Rice Seeds, 20 acres of Tier Two Celestial Cyan Seed Spirit Seeds, 20 acres of Tier One Jade Spirit Fruit Spirit Seeds, lastly, 180 acres of Tier One Wind Spirit Grass Spirit Seeds. Calculate the total contribution cost, and see if the contribution in the token is sufficient for the exchange.” Li Mu detailed his exchange list looking at the disciple.

Management Disciple Wang Changming’s face revealed slight tension as he endeavored to remember Li Mu’s exchange list.

”Sufficient! The 12 Tier Five Spirit Seeds require 27,120 points contribution collectively, 39 Tier Four Spirit Seeds cost 38,650 points, Tier Three Spirit Seeds: 15,370, ..., you have 15,960 points contribution remaining, Elder, shall I confirm the exchange for you?” Management Disciple Wang Changming thought for a moment and respectfully replied to Li Mu.

”Go ahead!” Li Mu nodded with a smile.

This exchange reaffirmed to Li Mu that entering Qing Xuan Sect as an Artifact Refining Elder was indeed worthwhile; otherwise, how would he obtain so many high-tier Spirit Plants all at once.

Upon hearing Li Mu’s confirmation, the management disciple swiftly operated to deduct the contributions from Li Mu’s Identity Token on a Contribution Token and began gathering corresponding Spirit Plant Seeds.

The management disciple Wang Changming took out an Eight Trigrams Round Mirror, injecting his Divine Sense into it.

Soon, a small pile of items appeared from the adjacent small teleportation array: Jade Boxes, Cloth Bags, Jade Cases, Cyan Bottles, ..., various storage devices containing Spirit Plant Seeds, resembling a small mound.

Management Disciple Wang Changming waved his hand, arranging the storage devices orderly upon the desk, and introduced them to Li Mu: ”Elder, these twelve Tier Two Storage Devices: Cyan Spirit Bottles contain Tier Five Spirit Seeds, these 39 Jade Cases hold Tier Four Spirit Seeds, ....”

”Elder, all items are here; please verify the quantities for correctness,” Management Disciple Wang Changming indicated to Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded, scanning with his Divine Sense to verify quantities, then promptly stored them in his Storage Bag.

”Elder Li, your remaining contribution points are 15,960; do you need to exchange for additional materials?” Management Disciple Wang Changming inquired respectfully to Li Mu.

”Yes! Demon Beast Essence Soul, Spirit Pill for Spirit Beast consumption, cultivation techniques catalog, runes, array catalog; show them to me!” Li Mu smiled slightly, nodded.

”Understood!” Management Disciple Wang Changming promptly drew five differently colored Jade Scrolls from his Storage Ring and handed them to Li Mu.

Li Mu picked up the yellow Jade Scroll, infusing it with Divine Sense.

”Exchange the Cyan Profound Talisman for me!” Li Mu silently handed the yellow jade scroll back to the management disciple.

”Elder, the Cyan Profound Talisman is a Tier Five talisman heritage. Exchanging the entire collection costs more contribution than you have; shall I exchange the Tier Three part for you?” Management Disciple asked Li Mu.

”No need, just the Tier One portion; I’m going to research it.” Li Mu waived and began reviewing another red Jade Scroll.

”Okay!” Management Disciple Wang Changming delightedly complied, commenced operations, deducted contributions, obtained cultivation techniques.

”Exchange five bottles of Tier Three Golden Vein Pill, thirty bottles of Tier One Spirit Feeding Pill,” Li Mu handed the jade scroll to the disciple, indicated.

”Alright!”

”You have: 9670 contribution points remaining!”

...

Approximately half an hour later, Li Mu emerged from the contribution exchange room, exhibiting a joyful, satisfied smile.

The ’Huan Xue Divine Child’ truly was a generous soul! Not only had he gifted a Tier Four lower-grade Storage Bracelet, tens of thousands of middle-grade Spirit Stones, over a hundred various spiritual materials, but he had also exploited his bounty contribution allowing him to harvest numerous high-tier Spirit Plants, high-tier Demon Beast Essence Soul, cultivation techniques, Spirit Pills, ..., all worth over a million Middle Spirit Stones.

Truly a generous soul indeed!

The Disciple Token listed numerous bounties against the Nine Demons Sect of the Demon Cave. Each individual marked listed extremely high contribution rewards.

Knowing the value of contribution points, Li Mu was eager to slay demons and defend the Dao, wanting to eradicate them one by one. After all, crafting a Tier Four Spiritual Artifact earned 5000 contribution points, but slaying a single Huan Xue Divine Child netted 100,000 points, requiring twenty crafted Tier Four Spiritual Artifacts.

Well! Crafting twenty Tier Four Spiritual Artifacts truly isn’t much.

However, Tier Four Spiritual Artifacts can’t be rushed. Crafting around a hundred a year suffices! It’s practically unable to match the faster contribution gains from demon hunting.

Flying away from Supreme Profound Peak, Li Mu swiftly switched to a regular Inner Sect Disciple Magic Robe, and controlled his sword towards Moon Jade Peak, as the idea of slaying demons faded from his mind.

Next, Li Mu prepared to fully engage in large-scale cultivation of various high-tier Spirit Plants at Moon Jade Peak, planning to verify his recent Spirit Plant cultivation research, leaving him no time to venture out for demon hunting.
