I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 164: Chapter 123: Hunting (Part 1)_4

It’s rare to catch a glimpse of Master Li’s unpredictable whereabouts, and Gongsun Chu certainly won’t miss this opportunity to request artifact refining.

Hearing this, Li Mu furrowed his brows slightly. Whether it’s one duck or two ducks, they both need herding, so he didn’t refuse.

”Have you prepared the refining materials? Hand them over to me!” Li Mu looked at Gongsun Chu and indicated.

”Alright! Master Li, please wait for a moment!” Gongsun Chu nodded excitedly and went to organize the refining materials himself.

About half an hour later, Gongsun Chu finally arrived, bringing two storage bags, and respectfully handed them to Li Mu: ”Master Li, this refining task consists of seven commissions in total, with seven jade scrolls introductions, and fourteen sets of materials in total. You are free to refine as much as you can. Any extra items refined will be compensated with a 50% commission. If the refining fails, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion will cover it, and you can take more materials.”

”About ten days, I’ll have them ready for you!” Li Mu gave Gongsun Chu a disdainful glance. Does he think so little of him? How could he not succeed in refining?

After saying that, Li Mu hurriedly left the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

High-tier refining comes with a certain risk of failure, so clients generally need to provide two sets of refining materials. Meanwhile, artifact refiners must ensure at least one successful item, which is an unspoken rule in the industry.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion operates similarly with refining commissions; producing one extra spiritual artifact means earning one more spiritual artifact.

Unlike when refining for the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion itself, the Artifact Refining Honored Guest Elder earns a commission based on the number of items refined, regardless of success. However, this method has its pros and cons, as artifact refiners might embezzle refining materials.

Soon, Li Mu returned to Moon Pearl Peak using Sword Control, paused for a while, and then set off swiftly with the Light Cloud Spiritual Ship towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range.

Li Mu drove the Light Cloud Spiritual Ship, traveling at full speed, covering a distance of a thousand miles in half a day, while his divine sense remained on alert to avoid potential threats until he finally landed near a place called ’Needle Peak.’

In the Needle Peak Mountain Range, peaks rose like needles, stretching as far as the eye could see, resembling a thousand long needles standing firm in this realm, thousands of peaks like needles.

Li Mu descended from the ship, landing in an open area nearby, stored away the spiritual ship, and then released the Guard Spider Puppet Army, setting up an illusion array and casting earth techniques to build a temporary camp.

Then, a flash of spirit light.

Li Mu released Xiaojin and Xiaowa from the Beast Taming Bag and indicated: ”Go play! There are quite a few Tier Two and Tier Three demon beasts nearby. Catch whatever you’d like to eat.”

Li Mu smiled slightly, then transmitted the location of the demon beast group he detected with his divine sense to their minds through the Spirit Taming Contract Seal, and encouraged the two beasts: ”I’ll give you two days. Compete to see who catches more. The winner will receive a mysterious reward.”

The next second, Xiaojin darted out with large strides, his big feet pounding the ground with a ”bang bang” sound, charging towards the habitat of a Tier Three Black-Scaled Demon Python with the speed of thunder.

Seeing Xiaojin get a head start, Xiaowa became anxious, quickly burying its head and burrowing into the ground with a ”puff puff puff,” disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

Only to see a ’Earth Dragon’ moving at a speed hard to detect with the naked eye, surging towards the northwest direction, ten miles out, where a herd of Tier Two Giant Fang Demon Pigs lay.

Xiaowa, despite its later start, quickly caught up and unleashed an Earth Spike Technique.

With a ”boom,” hundreds of thick earth spikes instantly pierced through the ground, entrapping the herd of Giant Fang Demon Pigs all at once, their sizes varying greatly. There were about a dozen of them, some as long as five or six meters, others one or two meters, all sporting a pair of long sharp tusks like a small mountain. However, they were all impaled unexpectedly, hanging on stone pillars, struggling in pain, and screaming.

Upon ’seeing’ this scene, Li Mu ’shivered’ and couldn’t bear to watch directly.
