I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 283: Chapter 187: Breaking the Seal

Returning to the secret chamber, Li Mu took out the array artifact and set up the Trapping Dragon Array to isolate divine sense, and once again entered the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion.

In the Treasure Mansion Space, Li Mu first checked the growth of the spirit plants. After confirming there were no issues, he retrieved an ancient turtle shell from the storage compartment.

Suddenly asking the Tier Seven True Spirit - Purple Sky Thunder Beast for ten drops of True Spirit Blood, using the excuse of refining the Purple Sky Spirit Hammer, was just a pretext. Li Mu had another purpose for these ten drops of True Spirit Blood.

Li Mu’s gaze locked onto the turtle shell. Quickly, under the Innate Divine Power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, all the information about the turtle shell appeared in the character log.

[Spiritual Turtle Shell (Sealed)]

[Grade: Tier Six Spiritual Object]

[Attributes: Time Fortune Divination (Sealed), Unstained Cause and Effect (Sealed), Timeless (Sealed)]

[Status: Divine Object Self-Sealing, Spiritual Invisibility]

[This is the relic shell left by the Spiritual Turtle after five thousand years. The relic shell self-seals and needs to be soaked with ten drops of True Spirit Essence Blood to unseal itself. This shell is one of the top-grade materials for refining a divination treasure.]

Looking at the Spiritual Turtle Shell in his hand, Li Mu couldn’t help but be filled with emotion.

Unknowingly, this Spiritual Turtle Shell had been placed in the storage compartment for over eighty years. Looking back, when he was still a Junior Qi Refining Cultivator, he managed to pick up this big bargain from Elder Wei, the Spirit Appraiser at Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, and was secretly delighted!

However, without obtaining True Spirit Blood, decades passed, and the Spiritual Turtle Shell sat in the storage compartment gathering dust.

Now, finally, it’s time for it to break the seal and shine once more!

Li Mu poured out the ten drops of True Spirit Blood, lifted them with spiritual power, and sent them towards the Spiritual Turtle Shell. All ten deep purple drops of True Spirit Blood were absorbed into the shell, and the blood traces quickly disappeared.

Enduring the passage of time, the unremarkable bluish-black turtle shell, with the infusion of ten drops of True Spirit Blood, began to emit spirit light, and a powerful spiritual energy wave suddenly awakened.

”Crack, crack...” A series of light cracking sounds emerged from the turtle shell, as if it were undergoing a transformation like breaking through a shell.

Li Mu’s eyes lit up. Under the innate divine power, he observed that the Spiritual Turtle Shell had absorbed the spirit of the True Spirit Blood, successfully breaking the seal and rejuvenating.

Li Mu injected a strand of spiritual power into the Spiritual Turtle Shell.

With a ”pop!”, the ancient blue shell covering the surface of the Spiritual Turtle Shell shattered and scattered, revealing a pure, crystalline white turtle shell, with mysterious Eight Trigrams spirit patterns carved on its back, filled with potent spiritual energy and a mysterious charm.

Li Mu focused his divine sense onto the natural engravings on the back of the Spiritual Turtle Shell and immediately felt the powerful and mysterious Dao Essence, associated with destiny-related Great Dao Laws, which couldn’t be gazed upon for long.

Li Mu sighed; the unsealed Tier Six Spiritual Turtle Shell, like the Tier Seven - Star Beast Relic Pearl, contains Great Dao Laws pertaining to time, future, destiny, but refining it into a Tier Six divination spiritual treasure is completely beyond his current artifact refining skills!

The unsealed Spiritual Turtle Shell would have to continue gathering dust.

Unless the Nine Yang Spirit Grass in the Celestial Void Tripod could mature, and be taken with the Nine Yin Spirit Grass, enhancing spirituality to further upgrade artifact refining techniques.

Li Mu stored the Spiritual Turtle Shell into the storage compartment, recalled something, and retrieved a white jade scroll from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, which was the jade scroll given to him by Venerable Huang Gang and Venerable Jiang Yan.

Excited by acquiring the Celestial Fire these days, Li Mu had immersed himself in artifact refining and had forgotten to check the contents of the jade scroll.

Inserting his divine sense, Li Mu immediately accessed the information within the jade scroll.

Li Mu furrowed his brow, lost in thought. The jade scroll contained vast information, apparently recorded casually by Venerable Jiang Yan.

The jade scroll described a sect’s heritage site, left by the founder of the Hundred Refinements Sect, Wanbao Daoist, before his ascension. It remains a true inheritance trial site where only by successfully refining a specific Tier Six spiritual treasure can one enter.

Venerable Huang Gang and Venerable Jiang Yan, knowing he was about to be able to refine Tier Six spiritual treasures, gave up competing for the Celestial Fire, hoping he would visit the Hundred Refinements Sect to discuss cooperation, helping refine Tier Six spiritual artifacts in exchange for rewards.

After brief consideration, Li Mu gave up the idea of going to the Hundred Refinements Sect.

Having obtained the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire and upgraded the Eightfold Celestial Fire Forging Method, breaking some restraints on the Level Five artifact refining techniques, Li Mu’s upcoming focus would be on planting spirit plants and further improving his cultivation.

Li Mu didn’t want to engage in too many trivial matters, especially since the Hundred Refinements Sect’s true artifact refining inheritance couldn’t compete with the Celestial Tier - Eightfold Celestial Fire Forging Method!

Storing the jade scroll into the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, Li Mu summoned the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire and began immersing himself in artifact refining.

A few days later.

In the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace, thunder light shone. In the next moment, a purple thunder hammer carrying immense thunder power shot out fiercely from the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace, transforming into a Thunder Tiger Spiritual Artifact, soaring skyward, attempting to escape the artifact refining room.

Li Mu smiled faintly, folding his five fingers together. The Power of the Five Elements condensed into a spiritual palm, slapping it down to the ground.

The Thunder Tiger Spiritual Artifact opened its gaping maw, attempting to pounce on Li Mu, when the Purple Gold Fire Phoenix flew out from the refining furnace, spreading its wings to re-refine this unseeing creature.

”Forget it, forget it! It doesn’t understand yet, no need to fuss!” Seeing this, Li Mu quickly smiled, raised his hand to stop the Phoenix, and waved out a strand of spiritual power, forming a spiritual power wall, blocking the Purple Gold Fire Phoenix.

The Tier Five Red Spirit Azure Tiger Soul, coerced into becoming an artifact spirit by the Celestial Fire Spirit, upon becoming an artifact spirit, no longer belonged to a Yin object, its spirituality reborn, yearning for freedom. After escaping the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace, it immediately sought to flee the control of the refining furnace and Li Mu.
