I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 190: Chapter 146: Sudden Turn of Events

As far as Li Mu knows, Venerable Huo Tian of the Mountain and River Sect has not given up on searching for his whereabouts.

This auction held by the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Headquarters is mainly targeting Nascent Soul True Monarchs and Venerable Divinity Transformation cultivators. If he encounters Venerable Huo Tian, it could be quite troublesome.

”I won’t go. You just have someone keep an eye on the Celestial Fire for me. If there’s a way, help me purchase it. If not, I’ll deal with it myself,” Li Mu sighed, deciding.

”Alright! I will certainly try my best.” Gongsun Chu nodded, then asked, ”Master Li, do you have any precious spiritual artifacts to auction? This auction is inviting a wide range of guests, and high-tier spiritual artifacts can sell at a good price. The Celestial Fire you want to purchase is likely quite expensive, so if you have high-tier spiritual artifacts to auction, you might seize this opportunity.”

Li Mu pondered for a moment and somewhat agreed with Gongsun Chu’s suggestion.

This grand auction is indeed an opportunity to sell a batch of high-tier spiritual artifacts.

Thirty-five years have passed, and Li Mu has refined countless spiritual artifacts, completed numerous sect refining tasks and commissions for the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, obtaining a lot of refining materials.

With numerous high-tier refining materials, Li Mu either directly refines Tier Four Spiritual Artifacts or exchanges for Tier Five Refining Materials to refine Tier Five Spiritual Artifacts.

Over time, Li Mu has refined more than a dozen Tier Five Spiritual Artifacts with artifact spirits. If he can use several Tier Five Spiritual Artifacts to exchange for a cluster of Celestial Fire, it would be absolutely worth it.

Additionally, the next batch of spirit plants is about to mature, and the promotion to Nascent Soul is imminent. Li Mu has been preparing for crossing the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation.

’Nascent Soul Stage’ is the goal of every Golden Core cultivator. Upon entering the Nascent Soul Realm, the transformation of spiritual power within the body is earth-shaking; with just a sliver of power, one can perform a full-powered attack of the Golden Core Stage.

However, promoting from Golden Core to Nascent Soul Realm, every cultivator has an unavoidable hurdle, which is crossing the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation.

Generally, Golden Core cultivators promote to Nascent Soul by crossing the Six-Nine Thunder Tribulation, which is 54 strikes of celestial thunder.

However, the higher the cultivation and better the talent, the harsher the thunder tribulation might be; it could be the 99 Thunder Tribulation, 81 strikes of celestial thunder, or higher-tier thunder tribulations: Yin-Yang Thunder Tribulation, Heaven and Earth Thunder Tribulation, Creation Thunder Tribulation, World-Ending Thunder Tribulation, and so on.

Li Mu with his Five Elements Sacred Body condensing Nascent Soul most likely will not face the ordinary Six-Nine Thunder Tribulation.

Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn’t help but feel a bit heavy-hearted.

The attributes of Nascent Soul condensed by Nascent Soul cultivators vary greatly.

According to Nascent Soul attributes, it is divided into: ”Five Elements Infants” which are Gold Infant, Earth Infant, Water Infant, Wood Infant, Fire Infant. A single Five Elements Infant is relatively easy to form, but the divine techniques post-formation are rather mundane. There’s also the variant infants, Wind Infant, Thunder Infant, etc. These variant infants are difficult to cross tribulation but once formed, the divine techniques are quite formidable.

There’s also the complete Five Elements Ancestral Infant, where Five Elements Infants unite. The prerequisite for forming the Five Elements Ancestral Infant is complete comprehension of the essence of the Five Elements before breaking through, which demands extremely high enlightenment from the cultivator.

Condensing the Ancestral Infant is the most difficult among various Nascent Soul formations, something ordinary cultivators simply cannot achieve. However, Li Mu is precisely on this path, relying on the assistance of Plant Spirit Light Group, employing Ancient Foundation Establishment Techniques, thoroughly understanding the fundamentals of Five Elements, and achieving the Five Elements Sacred Body.

Next, Li Mu’s promotion from Golden Core to Nascent Soul Realm will certainly condense the most difficult Five Elements Ancestral Infant.

However, his cultivation has entirely relied on farming to acquire Plant Spirit Light Group, cheating his way up. Although his cultivation foundation is incredibly solid, with all skills and techniques upgraded to full-level perfection, facing Heaven and Earth Thunder Tribulation, Li Mu lacks confidence.

Looking at Li Mu’s darkened face and heavily burdened appearance, Gongsun Chu couldn’t help but feel concerned.

”Master Li, is there some difficulty?” Gongsun Chu looked at Li Mu, asking with concern.

Li Mu glanced at Gongsun Chu, thinking about selling those spiritual artifacts.

Selling Tier Four Spiritual Artifacts won’t yield much, but if he sells Tier Five Spirit Transformation spiritual artifacts, it would be too high-profile, surely bringing various troubles.

However, crossing the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation is key at present, everything else can be ignored. If he fails the tribulation, he might die and disappear, making everything meaningless.

Understanding the pros and cons clearly, Li Mu looked at Gongsun Chu and said, ”Shopkeeper Gongsun, I do indeed have a batch of high-tier spiritual artifacts to sell; I’m entrusting you to handle it for me. Additionally, I urgently need a batch of high-tier spiritual objects, so please do your utmost to help me gather them.”

After speaking, Li Mu waved his hand, retrieving four Tier Five Spiritual Artifacts from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl.

The next second, a lively little black turtle, a flaming embroidery needle, a shining green light little flood dragon, and a small white tiger appeared out of thin air, floating in midair, orbiting around Li Mu, filled with spiritual fulfillment, emitting terrifying spiritual pressure.

”Crack!” A sound echoed as the teacup in Gongsun Chu’s hand fell to the floor and shattered.

Gongsun Chu suddenly stepped forward, staring at the four spiritual artifacts incredulously.

”They, they, are all Tier Five Spiritual Artifacts? And they all have artifact spirits, Master Li, did you refine them?” Gongsun Chu asked, looking at Li Mu with burning eyes.

”That’s right! To refine them, I poured all of my wealth into it. If it weren’t for gathering tribulation materials, I definitely wouldn’t have taken these spiritual artifacts out,” Li Mu responded with a smile, observing the overly shocked Gongsun Chu.

Li Mu’s Artifact Refining Technique is only Level 5, and at Level 5 refining technique, the success rate of refining Tier Five Spiritual Artifacts is extremely low.

Unless the Level 6 Refining Technique is broken through, the success rate would greatly improve.
