I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 394: Chapter 237: Purple Melody Celestial Fire

A flash of spirit light, and three Tier Six Spirit Swords appeared.

One gold, one wood, and one water, releasing powerful sword aura, in the blink of an eye transformed into three artifact spirits: a Little Golden Eagle, a Water Spirit Fish, and a Little Cyan Python, seemingly condensed from the essence of Heaven and Earth, full of spiritual energy, swirling around Li Mu.

The three artifact spirits seemed to possess life, after gaining freedom, they frolicked around Li Mu, playfully chasing each other. Upon discovering Venerable Xuanling and Venerable Lei Hong, they hid behind Li Mu, tilting their heads, curiously yet cautiously observing them, emanating bursts of sword might.

Just like a young tiger on the verge of exploding, releasing the sword might and spiritual pressure that only a Tier Six Spirit Sword could possess.

Feeling the power unleashed by the artifact spirits of the three Spirit Swords, Venerable Lei Hong and Venerable Xuanling’s expressions both changed, with a mix of surprise and joy, both sensing the terrifying power contained within the three Spirit Swords.

Any random Spirit Sword, if placed outside, would inevitably incite numerous High-Tier Cultivators to snatch it, leading to a bloody storm. However, what was shocking was that Li Mu actually owned three such Spirit Swords.

In the circles of Divinity Transformation Cultivators, perhaps one in ten might not even own a Tier Six Spirit Treasure, yet he possessed three Tier Six Spirit Swords. Undoubtedly, the three Tier Six Spirit Swords were indeed refined by Li Mu himself, no doubt about it!

”Friend Li, judging by this setup, you’re intending to refine a set of Tier Six Five Elements Spirit Swords, aren’t you?” Venerable Lei Hong looked at Li Mu enviously and asked with concern.

”That is indeed my intention, but the Tier Six materials for Fire and Earth elements are too scarce. Over the years, I’ve only refined these three Spirit Swords!” Li Mu smiled slightly, introducing: ”They’re named respectively: Jin Xiao, Cyan Python, Linglong!”

Hearing Li Mu’s call, the Little Golden Eagle, Water Spirit Fish, and Cyan Python all spiritedly flew to him, relinquishing their artifact forms, revealing their original appearances—the three Spirit Swords emitting strong spirit essence and sharp sword aura.

Originally, the Jade Water Spirit Pool only had a space of lightning and water spiritual qi, but with the emergence of the three Spirit Swords, the sword essence was instantly filled, and the gold, wood, and water spirit essences became abundant.

”Impressive, impressive, Friend Li, you possess the Five Elements Spirit Root and also excel in setting sword arrays. If this set of Tier Six Five Elements Spirit Swords can be refined successfully, in the future, defeating a Late-Stage Divinity Transformation cultivator will be easy!” Venerable Lei Hong examined the three Tier Six Spirit Swords, his eyes full of admiration and repeatedly exclaiming in praise. He already had some plans in mind, intending to assist Li Mu by acquiring the other two types of Tier Six Spiritual Materials for him.

”Senior, you’re too kind!” Li Mu humbly smiled and looked at Venerable Xuanling with a smile, asking: ”Senior, they can testify to my words, right? There’s no falsehood in my promise to help you refine a Tier Six Spirit Treasure!”

Li Mu had a faint smile on his face, exuding a powerful and convincing aura.

”Naturally, Friend Li’s talent and strength earn my deep respect.” Venerable Xuanling expressed his respect to Li Mu, even bowing to him.

In the Hundred Refinements Sect, what they revered was not the level of cultivation but the mastery over the artifact refining lineage.

No matter one’s level of cultivation, as long as one can refine high-tier Spiritual Artifacts, they can gain a noble status within the sect, much like the Sect Master of the Hundred Refinements Sect, who only possesses Nascent Soul True Monarch cultivation yet can refine Tier Five Top Grade Spiritual Artifacts. Hence, his status within the sect is unshakable.

And now, Li Mu can refine Tier Six Spirit Treasures with the cultivation of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, making Venerable Xuanling full of respect for him.

Venerable Xuanling contemplated briefly, then introduced the Celestial Fire of the Hundred Refinements Sect to Li Mu: ”Friend Li, the Celestial Fire of our Hundred Refinements Sect is called the Purple Melody Celestial Fire. It’s a Celestial Fire descending from the Nine Heavens, containing the Purple Mist Dao Essence, with powerful effects like melting all things, exorcism, warding off demons, and incinerating the divine soul.”

”The Purple Melody Celestial Fire can be used for artifact refining and for enemy defense; it is the divine object all fire cultivators dream of. If a fire cultivator integrates and refines this fire into their divine soul, even those with ordinary spirit roots can soar to the sky, advancing to Extreme Fire Spirit Root or even Fire Dao Spirit Root, with their cultivation growing by leaps and bounds. However, integrating Celestial Fire into oneself is extremely dangerous, ...”

...

Venerable Xuanling, tirelessly detailed to Li Mu the characteristics of the Purple Melody Celestial Fire.

Hearing the name of the Purple Melody Celestial Fire, Li Mu couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy. Such a Celestial Fire could indeed boost cultivation, an undoubtedly good news for someone like him who possesses a Five Elements Dao Body.

However, for Li Mu, the primary function of the Celestial Fire remains artifact refining, to be used for advancing the Celestial Tier Refining Technique—the Eightfold Celestial Fire Forging Method.

Talking about the Purple Melody Celestial Fire, a flicker of pained expression crossed Venerable Xuanling’s eyes, resurfacing painful memories in his mind.

Venerable Xuanling gritted his teeth, looked at Li Mu, and continued: ”This time, the Nine Demons Sect’s Wan Gui Demon Venerable, Xiao Tian Demon Venerable, Tian Jue Demon Venerable, and three-headed Tier Six Demons launched a sudden attack on our Hundred Refinements Sect, together with internal spies, destroyed our sect’s Mountain Protection Array, ...”

”Knowing the major trend was gone, we scattered and fled, ..., the Purple Melody Celestial Fire is with Venerable Zi Yu, and he likely perished, the Celestial Fire probably fell into Tian Jue Demon Venerable’s hands. However, the Purple Melody Celestial Fire has been imprinted with an extremely subtle tracking magic from our sect—Plant Spirit Technique, planted in the Celestial Fire Soul, undetectable even by a Void Refining Cultivator.”

”As for the magical artifact used for tracking the Celestial Fire, it is a Tier Four Spiritual Artifact, a companion Divine Soul Tracking Disc. Before I battled Wan Gui Demon Venerable and knew that surviving was impossible, I hid this artifact outside the sect somewhere. If you help me refine a Tier Six Spirit Treasure, I can retrieve this artifact with you, to help you seize the Purple Melody Celestial Fire.” Venerable Xuanling introduced in detail to Li Mu and made the proposal.
