I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 236: Chapter 168: Tier Five Star Wood (Part 3)

Li Mu didn’t have to think much to roughly know who had arrived. He quickly instructed the Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape to guard the three Spirit Plants well and then withdrew from the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion.

Returning to the courtyard, Li Mu first retrieved Xiaojin and Xiaowa back into the Spirit-Taming Treasure Bracelet, and then stored away the Grotto Heaven Spiritual Treasure - Painting Realm Treasure Mansion.

Li Mu waved his hand to dissolve the array and left the secluded chamber.

Having successfully refined the Cold-Dispelling Divine Pill, Li Xiaotian had completely expelled the cold poison and fully restored his cultivation.

After restoring his cultivation, the first thing Li Xiaotian did was bring precious gifts to visit Li Mu. This was more than a simple transaction; ’Master Ye’ had been of life-saving importance to him and the entire Li Family.

As Li Mu walked out of the secluded chamber, he saw Li Xiaotian, who was outside the door, looking energetic and having restored his aura to the Mid-Stage Nascent Soul.

”Fellow Daoist, please come in!” Li Mu offered a slight smile to Li Xiaotian and graciously invited him.

”Master Ye, I apologize for the intrusion!”

Li Xiaotian, with an enthusiastic smile, stepped into the courtyard.

Soon, Li Mu welcomed Li Xiaotian, and the two sat down at the stone table under the pavilion in the courtyard. Immediately, Li Xiaotian took out some cherished Spirit Wine and Spirit Fruit from his Storage Bracelet, warmly filling the wine cup in front of Li Mu.

”Master Ye, for your aid and salvation, I have no way to repay you, so I toast you! This time, not only did you save me, but you also saved my Li Family. Such a great favor shall be unforgettable, and should you ever need anything in the future, I would gladly serve as a loyal servant!” Li Xiaotian raised his glass to Li Mu, expressing his immense gratitude.

”Fellow Daoist Li, you overpraise me!” Li Mu said with a smile, drinking the wine.

”No, no! The Flood Dragon’s Soul is merely an ordinary Spiritual Object, whereas the Cold-Dispelling Divine Pill is a priceless Spirit Pill that I desperately needed to save my life. Its value is immeasurable, and in this transaction, my Li Family gained a huge advantage. This is a token of my gratitude to Master Ye,” Li Xiaotian said gratefully, taking out a gift box filled with High-tier Spiritual Objects from his Storage Bracelet.

”Fellow Daoist Li, there’s no need for this!” Li Mu quickly waved his hand to refuse Li Xiaotian’s thank-you gift.

”Master Ye, please do not refuse it. It’s just a token of my gratitude, please accept it!” Li Xiaotian insisted on offering the gift.

”Uh! Fellow Daoist Li, there’s really no need for this!” Li Mu refused again and, with a thought, swiftly changed the topic. ”Fellow Daoist Li, if you feel uneasy, I happen to have a challenge. Could you see if you can help me with it?”

”Oh! What is the challenge, Master Ye? Please feel free to tell me, and I’ll do my utmost to help!” Li Xiaotian was invigorated and promptly nodded.

”Hmm! I am looking for a kind of Celestial Fire to refine Spirit Pills. Fellow Daoist Li, do you know anyone who possesses such a Spiritual Object?” Li Mu smiled and nodded, casually throwing this challenge to Li Xiaotian, not expecting to get information from him.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Li Mu’s words, Li Xiaotian frowned and began to think seriously!

”Celestial Fire! If Master Li wants to obtain Celestial Fire, I do know of one.” Li Xiaotian’s expression shifted, and he spoke earnestly.

”I know Celestial Vast True Monarch of the Spirit Taming Sect, and he happens to have a clump of Extreme Yang Celestial Fire. However, Celestial Vast True Monarch is an Artifact Refining Master, and this clump of Celestial Fire is extremely important to him, regarded as the foundation of his Dao. If Master Ye seeks to request this Celestial Fire from him, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens!” Li Xiaotian said, frowning and appearing troubled.

The Celestial Vast True Monarch of the Spirit Taming Sect?

Li Mu suddenly recalled the two pieces of information about Celestial Fire that Gongsun Chu had provided in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

One was regarding Celestial Vast True Monarch of the Spirit Taming Sect, and the other was Wan Huo True Monarch of Star Moon Island.

Unexpectedly, how coincidental that Li Xiaotian knew Celestial Vast True Monarch!

”Fellow Daoist Li, I have my own way to persuade him. You just need to help me make the connection and facilitate a transaction with Celestial Vast True Monarch!” Li Mu suggested to Li Xiaotian.

Upon hearing ’Master Ye’s’ request, Li Xiaotian furrowed his brows, pondering something without responding immediately!

Seeing this, Li Mu slightly frowned and asked with concern, ”Fellow Daoist Li, could it be that there’s something difficult to say? Feel free to speak your mind!”

Li Xiaotian gave a wry smile and quickly explained: ”Master Ye, you misunderstand. I have some connections with Celestial Vast True Monarch, and bringing you to meet him is not a problem. However, several months ago, the Nine Demons Sect suddenly launched a full-scale assault on the Qing Xuan Sect. Fortunately, a great power from the Qing Xuan Sect successfully overcame the Nine-Nine Nascent Soul Tribulation, defeating Tian Jue Demon Monarch and repelling the Nine Demons Sect.”

Pausing for a moment, Li Xiaotian continued: ”However, the Nine Demons Sect first eradicated the Qing Xuan Sect Master and then launched an attack on the Qing Xuan Sect. All signs indicate that the Nine Demons Sect harbors significant ambitions, which sounded alarm bells for other sects. Since then, other sects have been acting cautiously, fearing the Nine Demons Sect’s return. Currently, major sects have ordered Nascent Soul cultivators within the sects to avoid traveling as much as possible.”

”To meet Celestial Vast True Monarch, we would likely have to personally travel to the Spirit Taming Sect!”

”However, Luotian City is ten thousand miles away from the Spirit Taming Sect, and I have just rid myself of cold poison, restored my cultivation, and my Li Family has a heap of affairs to attend to. In the short term, I fear I will not be able to accompany Master Ye on a long journey to the Spirit Taming Sect!” Li Xiaotian looked at Li Mu with a wry smile, explaining in detail.

Upon hearing this, Li Mu suddenly understood, realizing the difficulties Li Xiaotian faced.
