I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 427: Chapter 251: Earth Vein Spirit Marrow (2)

The Earth Vein Spirit Marrow, this Tier Seven Spiritual Object, is extremely suitable for Bai Jinling’s Spirit Root Attribute. Bai Tianya said that it was prepared as a casting Dao item for her, which is not an exaggeration.

Such a precious Spiritual Object is extremely rare for Li Mu as well. It would be a waste to use it to refine Tier Six Spirit Treasures and Spirit Pills. The Painting Realm Treasure Mansion is currently advancing in tier. Using this Earth Vein Spirit Marrow would definitely greatly enhance its advancement speed and success rate, or it could be reserved until after reaching Divinity Transformation, to be used as a casting Dao item, which would not be a waste.

”Haha, I can’t use it anymore. My Primordial Spirit is afflicted by strange Demon Qi, making a realm breakthrough impossible!” Bai Jinling mocked herself with a faint smile, her expression somewhat despondent.

”Giving this item to Master Li is, on one hand, hoping that Master Li can advance sooner. Perhaps he could forge higher-tier Spirit Pills within my lifetime to help me eliminate the Demon Qi in my body; on the other hand, it is hoping that Master Li, in light of this treasure, can take good care of Xue’er for me!” After a pause, with hopeful eyes, Bai Jinling explained to Li Mu.

Hearing this, Li Mu immediately understood and was moved. A mother’s heart is always deeply concerned for her child. Bai Jinling, for the sake of Xue’er’s future, did not hesitate to bestow a great treasure upon him, sacrificing her own cultivation’s potential furtherance. This intention is rare indeed.

Considering Bai Jinling’s predicament, Li Mu pondered seriously. Within her remaining lifetime, it may not be impossible for his Alchemy Skills to advance further. However, collecting the Spirit Medicine required to refine a Tier Seven Spirit Pill might not be so easy and could pose a problem.

”Elder Bai, this treasure is extremely precious, and it has important use for me as well. I will shamelessly accept it. The matters you requested, I will do my utmost to ensure Xue’er becomes talented as soon as possible. As for refining the Spirit Pill to expel Demon Qi, it might take about a hundred years.” Li Mu estimated the time and solemnly promised Bai Jinling as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinling was overjoyed. Getting Li Mu to agree to help the Snow Fox Race refine high-tier Spirit Pills and Spiritual Artifacts and to guide Xue’er’s growth was already a considerable gain. She hadn’t expected that he would readily agree to help her refine a high-tier Spirit Pill to expel Demon Qi within a hundred years.

”Master Li, are you confident of refining a Tier Seven Spirit Pill in a hundred years?” Bai Tianya asked, with a look of disbelief, gazing at Li Mu in astonishment.

The Hundred Cultivation Arts, each of which is extremely difficult to master, let alone advancing to Tier Five or Six, and each advancement requires great luck and opportunity.

If it weren’t for Li Mu already being a Tier Six Alchemy Grandmaster, boasting such certainty would make him a laughingstock otherwise.

Only a hundred years! From Tier Six to Tier Seven, what a dreadful number this is? Even the Immortal Sect’s Saint Heir, a peerless genius, wouldn’t dare to think this way! If he were to achieve it, how would those Immortal Sect Grandmasters, stuck at the Grandmaster Realm for hundreds or thousands of years, take it!

”A hundred years, Master Li, do you really have such confidence?” Bai Jinling asked in disbelief but with happiness.

”Perhaps. Elder Bai, the Demon Qi within your Primordial Spirit is challenging to suppress. Enduring a hundred years might be difficult. You should find a Spiritual Fire and refine it. High-tier Spirit Fire innately suppresses Yin Demons; though not as potent as Celestial Fire, it can help you suppress the Demon Qi and enduring a hundred years shouldn’t be a problem.” Li Mu suggested confidently, looking at Bai Jinling.

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinling’s eyes brightened, and she hurriedly expressed gratitude towards Li Mu: ”Thank you, Master, for the guidance. I was worried about how to endure a hundred years! Once I find and refine the Spiritual Fire, I will patiently await your breakthrough in Alchemy Skills a hundred years later!”

”Haha! This is well-discussed!” Li Mu chuckled, then his expression turned slightly heavy as he spoke, ”Elder Bai, I am confident in advancing my Alchemy Skills within a hundred years. However, gathering the Spirit Medicine required to refine a Tier Seven Spirit Pill might not be easy. Please be mentally prepared!”

Alchemy and Artifact Refining Techniques have reached Tier Six Perfection, and the inability to advance to Tier Seven is partly due to insufficient cultivation. To refine Tier Seven Spirit Pills and Spiritual Artifacts, one needs to comprehend Dao Principles, the Condensation and transformation of Primordial Spirit Power into Transformation Divine Power, and must reach the Divinity Transformation Realm in cultivation.

The Divinity Transformation Realm is the minimum requirement for arts like Artifact Refining and Alchemy among the Hundred Arts Skills. Such items of this level possess Dao Power, termed Dao Pills and Daoist Soldiers.

Another reason is insufficient Spiritual Energy, which also hinders further progression.

The increase in Spiritual Energy obtained from consuming Nine Yin Spirit Grass and Nine Yang Spirit Grass barely allows for the Alchemy Skill, Artifact Refining Technique, and other Hundred Arts Skills to be elevated to Tier Six, but the Spiritual Energy needed beyond Tier Seven still requires a vast amount.

However, Li Mu is confident of overcoming these two issues within a hundred years.

For the enhancement of cultivation, just planting another batch of Tier Four Five Elements Spirit Plants and Yin Yang Spirit Plants, the resulting Plant Spirit Attribute can further boost cultivation, achieving a breakthrough from Nascent Soul to Divinity Transformation Realm.

Tier Six Nine Yang Spirit Grass and Nine Yin Spirit Grass are also relatively easy to solve. With breakthroughs in Artifact Refining and Alchemy Skills, the Tier Six Spirit Treasures and Spirit Pills refined by Li Mu are rare items in high demand. The contacts he engages with in transactions have all elevated to a higher realm—from Venerable Divinity Transformation to Venerable Refiner of Void.

They show him great respect, eager to support and uplift him. Should he need high-tier Spirit Grass, proposing trade terms would easily secure it—rare Spiritual Objects almost all get fulfilled.

For this reason, Li Mu is securely confident. Barring any accidents, he believes that within a hundred years, he can advance further, breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, achieving the status of Tier Seven Daoist Artisan, Daoist Alchemist.
