I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 392: Chapter 236: Venerable Xuanling

Only two people were at the top of Spirit Mountain, enduring the terrifying Thunderbolt Power and Power of Water emanating from Spirit Mountain, honing their cultivation.

Under the guidance of Venerable Lei Hong, they landed on the peak of Spirit Mountain, on a cliff edge, where dozens of thunderbolts as thick as arms continuously struck a physical body.

Thunder rolled around them, flashing and clapping.

A body with only half its flesh, the other half a bloody mess with exposed muscles, was currently being reborn in the Thunder Light, the skeleton covered with blood and flesh, looking incredibly grisly and bloody, exceptionally terrifying.

It was the first time seeing a Divinity Transformation Powerhouse reconstruct a physical body, Li Mu frowned deeply, barely suppressing his nausea.

Yet Venerable Lei Hong, unfazed, said: ”Friend Li, this is the Jade Water Spirit Pool, Venerable Xuanling of the Hundred Refinements Sect practices both thunder and fire elements, the Heaven and Earth Thunder Light True Essence here can accelerate the reconstruction of his physical body. Back then, his Divine Soul was severely damaged, making the body reconstruction extremely challenging, and it has only been half completed after several years.”

Upon hearing this, Li Mu nodded, and then stepped forward, bowing slightly: ”Junior Li Mu, Elder of Qing Xuan Sect, pays respects to Venerable Xuanling.”

His clear voice echoed, and Venerable Xuanling, who was being nurtured in the Thunder Light, slightly opened his bloodshot eyes upon hearing it, turned his head, and looked at Li Mu with full of doubt: ”Qing Xuan Sect? Li Mu? Why are you looking for me?”

Li Mu did not conceal much, respectfully bowing and asking: ”Venerable Xuanling, I wish to inquire about the whereabouts of the Celestial Fire of the Hundred Refinements Sect.”

Upon hearing this, Venerable Xuanling paused for a moment, but the next second, as if possessed, he let out a shrill, mournful wail: ”Hahaha, truly a tiger falling in plains, bullied by dogs, the former Hundred Refinements Sect now no longer exists, everyone wants to take a share, even a mere Nascent Soul True Monarch dares to covet our sect’s Holy Artifact.”

Clearly, Venerable Xuanling had not moved past the sorrow of the sect’s destruction, and his chaotic Divine Soul was further agitated by Li Mu’s direct inquiry about the Celestial Fire.

Venerable Lei Hong immediately stepped in, saying: ”Fellow Daoist Xuan Ling, Friend Li is by no means ordinary, he has been the savior of Qing Xuan Sect and our Spirit Taming Sect. If it wasn’t for him, the Spirit Taming Sect as it stands today would no longer exist. You should still remember the deeds of Sword Immortal Li.”

The miserable laughing Venerable Xuanling, upon hearing Venerable Lei Hong’s introduction, finally had his chaotic Divine Soul clear up a bit, turning his head to scrutinize Li Mu, gradually recalling the tales about Sword Immortal Li.

Facing Li Mu, the sorrow in Venerable Xuanling’s eyes grew more intense, disregarding the Thunder Light reconstructing his body, he stood up straight, lifted his steps, and slowly walked out of the Jade Water Spirit Pool.

Li Mu and Venerable Xuanling’s eyes met, both looking at each other frankly.

Venerable Xuanling reached in front of Li Mu, a complete arm and another arm that was a bloody mess, gripping his shoulder, choking with emotion he said: ”Friend Li, why is it that fate did not favor people like us, while you alone could save two sects, why couldn’t we be so lucky... My wife and children are all dead, my senior and junior brothers are all dead!”

As a Divinity Transformation Powerhouse, at this moment, Venerable Xuanling exhibited no demeanor of a powerhouse, with comrades as dear as family and his kin all brutally slain, leaving him alone, the blow to his Heart Realm was overwhelmingly intense.

At this moment, Venerable Xuanling was shedding old tears, earnestly wishing that the Li Mu before him was as mighty and miraculous as the rumors, able to rescue the Hundred Refinements Sect during its final crisis.

But it all was merely a luxurious hope, just a fantasy.

Li Mu sighed internally, he had always been self-centered, just wishing for longevity, other people’s lives had little to do with him.

Yet witnessing others ending up in such a situation, he couldn’t help but feel pity, not knowing how to comfort them, he could only console: ”Venerable, please accept my condolences.”

Upon hearing these words, Venerable Xuanling trembled all over, his gaze suddenly became calm.

By his side, Venerable Lei Hong let out a heavy sigh, looking somewhat worried, having witnessed the fate of the Hundred Refinements Sect himself, it left him feeling deeply uneasy about the Nine Demons Sect, fearing that the Spirit Taming Sect might share the same fate.

The now composed Venerable Xuanling gazed at Li Mu, spoke with a deep voice: ”I can tell you the whereabouts of the Celestial Fire, but I have a condition...”

”Venerable, please speak!” Li Mu, without much thought, gladly asked.

A vengeful glare appeared in Venerable Xuanling’s eyes filled with boundless hatred: ”I know you possess exceptional Artifact Refining skills. I want you to refine two Tier Six Spiritual Treasures to aid my revenge!”

Li Mu didn’t even hesitate, agreeing immediately: ”Venerable, that can be done. As long as the refining materials are prepared properly, give me five years, I can help you craft two Tier Six Spiritual Treasures that suit you best!”

Next, he still had to go to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range with Venerable Kun Ling and others. Currently, Li Mu had no time to refine Tier Six Spiritual Treasures, and this trip would be unpredictable in its duration.

To be safe, Li Mu extended the timeline.

However, upon hearing Li Mu’s response, Venerable Xuanling was stunned, and Venerable Lei Hong on the side was also dumbfounded.

”Wait! Friend Li, are you sure about the five years? Have you already reached the ability to refine Tier Six Spiritual Treasures?” Venerable Lei Hong stepped forward, looking at Li Mu with concern.

Li Mu did not conceal much, nodding slightly: ”Yes, I had the fortune to reach a higher realm in Artifact Refining with the help of Celestial Fire, but a Tier Six Spiritual Treasure is extremely challenging to refine, I’m only thirty to forty percent confident!”
