I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 230: Chapter 166: Alchemy Master (Part 3)

The spiritual fire burns, thick innate fire natural qi surrounds the elder, attempting to dispel the cold poison within.

However, the effect is negligible.

Although the cold poison afflicting the other party hasn’t been identified, it seems this Nascent Soul Ancestor won’t last much longer.

Li Mu set down his teacup and looked towards the side chamber.

Only to see Li Yuan hurriedly arrive with a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and strong aura, who bore a heavy broadsword on his back, looking ready to depart at any moment.

”Friend, sorry for the wait!”

The broadsword-bearing man greeted Li Mu with a hearty clasp of hands and sincere words.

”It’s a pleasure to meet you,”

Li Mu slightly arose to return the courtesy.

”Li Yuan has explained everything to me, Brother Li truly wishes to accompany us in eliminating the Bloodthirsty Scorpion. We are willing to...” The thick-browed cultivator looked gratefully at Li Mu, impatiently saying.

Before he could finish, Li Mu raised his hand to interrupt him, smiling as he said: ”Do you have the authority to decide? Better let your Ancestor speak to me directly!”

The cultivator before him was clearly one of the Li Family’s Golden Core Elders; his words could not substitute those of the Li Family’s Nascent Soul Ancestor.

With a release of divine sense earlier, Li Mu understood this clearly.

Li Yuan had merely found these two Golden Core Elders without discussing the matter with the Li Family Ancestor.

If he completed the Li Family’s task only for the Nascent Soul Ancestor to turn hostile, it would be troublesome!

In a world where strength reigns supreme, treachery and betrayal are all too common, Li Mu knew the word of a Golden Core Elder held insufficient weight!

”This..., Brother Li, our Ancestor is currently fighting to resist the cold poison within, unable to be distracted at all. I, Silver Axe Broadsword, have a reputation in Luotian City and would never act in deceitful ways, as long as Brother Li lends us a hand...”

The Li Family Elder frowned slightly but was prepared to vouch for his character, knowing this journey is to destroy the Bloodthirsty Scorpion and seize the Fire Spirit Grass.

Their Li Family had two Golden Core cultivators—one mid-stage Golden Core, while he was Golden Core perfection—yet facing the Bloodthirsty Scorpion was nerve-wracking, with the outcome uncertain.

Moreover, in Luotian City, they truly couldn’t find any helper to assist.

This time, Li Yuan’s finding an external powerhouse was indeed a significant help.

The invitation of this mid-stage Golden Core cultivator would make three Golden Cores united against the Bloodthirsty Scorpion, raising the victory chance to seventy percent.

This matter is of great importance,

Seeing the other party’s chatter, Li Mu directly took out a pill from the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion.

The pill was glossy red, and as soon as it was taken out, the innate fire spirit qi of the Zhou Dynasty gently danced, and the temperature kept rising.

The other five elements qi retreated far.

Upon seeing this pill, their eyes suddenly shone, and their breaths became rapid: ”Cold-Dispelling Divine Pill...”

The Li Family Elder and all Li Family members, their eyes erupted with dazzling brilliance.

Cold-Dispelling Divine Pill, tier four spirit medicine.

It can dispel all cold poisons in the world and is a top-grade spirit medicine that cultivators inflicted with cold poison spend a hundred years seeking.

This pill is extremely difficult to refine, usually being one of the spirit medicines many families scramble for at major auction venues.

They, searching far and wide, and yet to obtain the Fire Spirit Grass.

Who would’ve thought a Golden Core cultivator seeking assistance by chance would have a finished Cold-Dispelling Divine Pill.

”Truly, heaven does not forsake my Li Family.”

The Li Family Elder excitedly took a step forward, his expression showing some loss of composure.

Li Mu’s fingers closed together, retrieving the pill.

This very pill happened to be among the gains from the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, amounting to more than fifty pills.

”This is a pill I refined, let’s make a deal with your Ancestor and have him come to see me!”

Li Mu continued tasting spirit tea, feigning a mysterious demeanor—his claiming to be an alchemy master was really to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Alchemy cultivators, like artifact refining cultivators, were revered wherever they went, a necessary subject for people to please.

Alchemy is even harder than artifact refining, hence fewer alchemy cultivators exist, rendering them even more distinguished.

Li Mu presented himself as an alchemy master, so the Li Family Ancestor, unwilling to give up the Flood Dragon’s Soul, would have to offer it obediently.

”Forgive my poor sight, I didn’t recognize the alchemy master’s illustrious presence. May I know your name?”

At this time, the Li Family Elder’s attitude was respectful and even seemed ingratiating.

This was understandable.

Though both Golden Core cultivators, one possessing skills in the Hundred Cultivation Arts as a master, their status differed vastly.

An alchemy master capable of refining tier four spirit medicine stands high enough to be on par with a Nascent Soul True Monarch, and once refining tier five top-grade elixirs, even a Venerable Divinity Transformation would extend courtesy.

”My surname is Ye, my name is Tianhong.”

Li Mu casually gave a name. He was currently using the Spirit Fox Mask for disguise; once the transaction concluded and his appearance changed, they wouldn’t recognize him again.

Li Mu assumed the fake identity with extreme ease.

”Ah, so Master Ye, I’ll invite the Ancestor out, and ask Master Jin Ye to wait a moment, Li Yuan, entertain Master Ye well.” Golden Core Elder quickly instructed Li Yuan, promptly turning away to convey the alchemy master’s visit and invite the Li Family Ancestor out to meet guests.

With the alchemy master’s presence, their Li Family Nascent Soul Ancestor could be saved!
