I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 242: Chapter 171: Tier Five Spirit Talisman

Li Mu frowned deeply, not expecting that after several months, the other party was still relentless in pursuit and had now even resorted to Celestial Secret Pavilion, issuing such a high bounty.

This... people have already died, is it necessary?

Perhaps this Venerable Divinity Transformation has ulterior motives, targeting the Grotto Heaven Spiritual Treasure of Tianyan Divine Monarch?

Li Mu frowned deeply, becoming cautious of this Venerable Lin Hai.

Since he’s been wanted and a bounty placed on him, he must be more cautious in his actions in the future. Li Mu decided, unless absolutely necessary, to avoid using sword arrays and Five Elements Spiritual Power, opting for other means to confront enemies instead.

Fortunately, Li Mu’s means of confronting enemies are not limited to just Five Elements Spiritual Power and sword arrays.

Puppet army, spirit talismans, beast taming, soul attacks, ..., there are plenty of ways to confront enemies.

Li Mu did not feel a sense of urgency about the bounty from Celestial Secret Pavilion and the potential threat from the Venerable Divinity Transformation of the Independent Cultivator Alliance.

Before, when Li Mu only had Golden Core Cultivation, Venerable Huo Tian of the Mountain and River Sect had not posed much of a threat to him, let alone now that he has broken through Golden Core and achieved Nascent Soul.

Even with Divinity Transformation Cultivators able to battle across tiers, while Li Mu remained cautious, he wasn’t overly worried.

Seeing the ”senior” uninterested in the bounty, Shi Hongyao shifted the topic, sharing anecdotes or less critical but rather valuable intelligence information.

For instance: After being injured, Tian Jue Demon Venerable of the Nine Demons Sect massacred an Immortal City of a certain sect to restore his divine soul and cultivate even more terrifying Ghost-Controlling Demon Technique.

Another instance: The decision to withdraw the main force after the failure of the joint development initiative by the Five Associations to prepare for the invasion by the Nine Demons Sect, ...

...

Shi Hongyao, the Celestial Secret Master with excellent eloquence and knowledge of various secrets, chatting with her offered Li Mu valuable information.

As for Lin Wanping, after cross-checking for over an hour with two Spirit Appraiser subordinates, finally put away the abacus.

Lin Wanping approached Li Mu, presenting a ledger with both hands, respectfully reporting: ”Senior, this is the checklist of all spiritual artifacts and our appraisal. Total number of spiritual artifacts: 542, Tier Five Spiritual Artifacts: 3 items, which are the Ten Thousand Ghosts Spirit Banner, Blood Evil Crystal Bottle, Celestial Corpse Spirit Coffin, each with varying degrees of damage. The total estimated price is 7.5 million Middle Spirit Stones, and Tier Four Spiritual Artifacts, ... the total purchase price we offer for all spiritual artifacts is 16 million Middle Spirit Stones. Senior, this is the list, please review.”

”No need, deduct the talisman paper and the spirit stones for two pieces of intelligence, convert the rest into Top-grade Spirit Stones and give it to me.”

Li Mu declined to take the ledger, politely refusing.

After mentally calculating, Li Mu found the quoted price was not far off.

Celestial Secret Pavilion was fairly honest in their dealings.

”Alright, Senior, after deducting the related costs, 5 million Middle Spirit Stones convert to Top-grade Spirit Stones, which means our pavilion owes you 110,000 Top-grade Spirit Stones. This substantial amount requires a little more time, please bear with us.” Lin Wanping agreed cheerfully and respectfully asked.

After saying this, Lin Wanping hurriedly left the secret chamber and soon returned carrying a storage bag.

”This spirit stone storage bag contains 110,000 Top-grade Spirit Stones, please verify the number.” Lin Wanping extended the spirit stone storage bag to Li Mu, speaking respectfully.

Li Mu took the spirit stone bag, scanned it with his divine sense to confirm the number of spirit stones, then departed from Celestial Secret Pavilion with the hides.

Not long after leaving Celestial Secret Pavilion, Li Mu found an inn and changed into a different outfit, disguising himself as ”Master Ye” with Golden Core Cultivation and revisited Celestial Secret Pavilion.

On the second floor of Celestial Secret Pavilion, inside a secret chamber.

Lin Wanping welcomed Li Mu, praising with a smile: ”Fellow Daoist, so reliable indeed! The seven-day agreement is due today.”

”Hmm, the detailed information about that person seems fine, besides, the spirit seeds I had reserved with your pavilion, are they all prepared?” Li Mu looked at Lin Wenping and went straight to the point.

Seven days ago, Li Mu had reserved detailed intelligence on a Demon Cultivator with Lin Wanping to obtain his Spiritual Essence Blood to restore the Fire Flood Dragon Skeleton, and also reserved with Celestial Secret Pavilion, spirit seeds of Tier Four Purple Sun Reishi and Tier Four Yin Soul Fruit.

Today, Li Mu came specifically to fulfill the appointment, first transacting with high-tier talisman paper at Celestial Secret Pavilion under the identity of ’Old Man Zhang’ and then as Master Ye, carrying out this transaction appointment.

With the attributes of the Tier Five Spirit Fox Mask, Li Mu could flawlessly disguise himself as others and act cautiously. As for the identities of Jianchen and Master Li, they were already on the wanted lists of the Independent Cultivator Alliance and the Mountain and River Sect.

Without unforeseen circumstances, Li Mu would avoid using these identities again, unless their names could bring profit.

”Fellow Daoist Ye, rest assured, our Celestial Secret Pavilion always does things meticulously, I have prepared two spirit plant seeds for you, each capable of planting 200 acres. The resources to assist the growth of spirit plants, including Purple Sun Jade and Supreme Profound Moon Dew, are ready as well, I’ll go fetch them now!” Lin Wanping signaled to Li Mu with a look of joy, turned to retrieve a large storage bag from a shelf.

”Everything is inside, Fellow Daoist please verify the numbers.” Lin Wanping smiled and handed the large storage bag to Li Mu, indicating.

Li Mu happily accepted the storage bag and couldn’t wait to invest his divine sense, inspecting and counting it immediately.

Inside the storage bag were two sandalwood boxes with the sealing spirit effect, each containing spirit seeds of Purple Sun Reishi and Yin Soul Fruit, no more no less, exactly capable of planting 200 acres, three Water Storage Bottles, containing three thousand drops of Tier Four Supreme Profound Moon Dew, and two Sealing Spirit Boxes containing five thousand pieces of Tier Four Purple Sun Jade.

”Not bad, the numbers are correct, how much more do I owe for the remaining payment?” Li Mu satisfactorily inquired.

”Including that Demon Cultivator’s information, Fellow Daoist Ye, you need to pay me an outstanding balance of 2 million Middle Spirit Stones.” Lin Wanping looked at Li Mu with a smile.
