I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 430: Chapter 253: Ancient Mansion Secret Realm

’Ten Thousand Swords Mountain’ inherently carries the Gravity Law, weighing an astounding 13.6 million pounds. When it suddenly launched a sneak attack, the Tier Six Fierce Demon Bear, unaware of its weight, foolishly attempted to resist it with its body, akin to a mantis trying to stop a cart, ending in a miserable fate.

Li Mu, dressed in a cyan magic robe, with a long winding instrument wrapped around him, and a cyan jade hairpin passing through his hair, stood upon the dragon head of the Tier Six Double-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon, smiling as he looked at five familiar faces below.

”Everyone, long time no see. I never thought we would meet here today!” Li Mu greeted the five members of Qing Xuan Sect, who were in a daze: Venerable Qingfeng, Qingchen True Monarch, Qingyang True Monarch, Qing Wen True Monarch, and Yun Xiaozhi.

Not having been seen for decades, Yun Xiaozhi, who was originally at the Golden Core Stage, had now advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. Beside him was a Tier Five Unicorne Flood Dragon, casting a look of fear and envy as it gazed reverently at the Tier Six Double-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon.

”Elder Li!” Venerable Qingfeng responded with delight.

”Master Li, I didn’t expect to meet you here,” Qingyang and Qingchen said, overjoyed and happy.

”Junior Brother Li, no, Elder Li...” Yun Xiaozhi called out in excitement but then realized something and quickly corrected himself, overwhelmed with excitement and at a loss.

”Greetings, Elder Li!” Qing Wen True Monarch inspected Li Mu up and down in astonishment, in shock. Utilizing the same Five Elements Technique - Five Elements Treasure Manual, he sensed the unusual aura from the Five Elements Spiritual Pressure radiating from Li Mu.

”Are you all heading to Spirit Taming Sect? How has Qing Xuan Sect been recently? How about we find a place to chat?” Li Mu suggested with a bright smile.

”Yes, yes! Wouldn’t miss it for the world!”

”Indeed! Elder Li, you’ve made quite a name for yourself during your years away from the sect! The name Sword Immortal Li is renowned far and wide!”

”Elder Li, are you also heading to Spirit Taming Sect? We can travel together.”

...

As soon as Li Mu spoke, the five unanimously agreed, responding with excitement.

Soon, they cleaned up the battlefield and set up a stone table for rest on a hilltop. They gathered around the table, each bringing out their cherished spirit wines, spirit teas, spirit fruits, and spiritual cuisines, filling the table to the brim.

”Elder Li, quickly try this cup of Qingxu Spirit Tea. You’ve been away from Qing Xuan Sect for a long time, so you probably haven’t had the chance to drink this tea,” Venerable Qingfeng said with a bright smile, offering a cup of spirit tea to Li Mu.

”That’s indeed the case! Thank you, Elder Feng.” Li Mu accepted the tea with a smile and drank it all in one go.

”Elder Li, that spiritual artifact just now had incredible power, instantly killing a Tier Six Demon Bear. If I’m not mistaken, it’s a Tier Six Spiritual Treasure, right? Was it personally crafted by you?” Qingyang True Monarch asked eagerly, voicing the shared curiosity of the group as he looked at Li Mu.

Upon hearing this, the other four pairs of eyes collectively fell on Li Mu, full of concern.

Li Mu’s talent and ability in Artifact Refining had already been evident during his time at Qing Xuan Sect, refining Tier Four Spiritual Artifacts at the Golden Core stage and Tier Five Spirit Treasures afterward. Now, having advanced to the Nascent Soul stage after so many years, being able to refine Tier Six Spiritual Treasures was of little surprise.

”That’s right! It is indeed a Tier Six Spiritual Treasure, crafted by my own hands!” Li Mu replied with a smile, meeting the eager gazes of the five.

Upon hearing this, the five were visibly invigorated, all expressing joy.

”Congratulations, Elder Li, on achieving the realm of an Artifact Refining Grandmaster! This is my gift to Elder Li, and I hope you will accept it!” With a quickened spirit, Venerable Qingfeng eagerly took out a jade box from his storage ring and respectfully presented it to Li Mu as a congratulatory gift.

Seeing this, Qingyang, Qingchen True Monarch, and the other two exchanged glances, following suit by presenting their cherished items.

”Elder Li, this is my gift. Please accept it graciously!”

”Elder Li, this is a Spiritual Object I obtained from a secret realm. Please don’t take offense at it being used as a gift!”

”Congratulations, Elder Li, on becoming an Artifact Refining Grandmaster. This is my token of appreciation.”

...

The four Nascent Soul True Monarchs each presented a rare Spiritual Object, respectfully offering them to Li Mu, eagerly hoping for him to accept them, in hopes of fostering some goodwill and seeking future opportunities to commission Li Mu for refining Tier Six Spiritual Treasures.

Tier Five Refining Grandmasters are as rare as hens’ teeth in the entire South Wilderness Spirit Realm, only nurtured by large sects, guild organizations like the Hundred Refinements Sect, Four Seas Sect, and Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, while others see them scarcely.

Given the scarcity of Tier Five Refining Grandmasters, the number of Tier Six Refining Grandmasters is even beyond mention, being born perhaps once every thousand years, and are esteemed guests of Immortal Sects and major organizations.

The founding ancestor of Qing Xuan Sect, Qingxuan Ascendant, was a master proficient in the Hundred Cultivation Arts, excelling in Artifact Refining, Talisman Making, Arrays, Melody, and seven ultimate skills. He left behind considerable legacy for Qing Xuan Sect before his ascension to the Upper Realm. However, it took him thousands of years, achieving Refining Void Realm, to reach the Grandmaster realm of Artifact Refining.

Yet, Li Mu with a bone age of merely a hundred years advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and further attained the realm of an Artifact Refining Grandmaster. Such monstrous talent makes it impossible to imagine what heights he might reach in the future.

Compared to the splendor of Qing Xuan Sect’s ancestral founder, Qingxuan Ascendant, it was like the difference between stars and the moon.

Seizing this opportunity, they all eagerly took out their own treasured items, desperately hoping for Li Mu to accept them.

The five’s eyes burned with eagerness, and Li Mu felt their sincere emotions. If he didn’t accept these gifts, it would probably break their hearts.

”Thank you all for your kindness. I shall accept your gifts then. If any of you need artifacts refined, prepare the Artifact Refining Spiritual Materials and come to Yin Yang Valley to find me. The valley is located at the edge of Desolate Ancient City, and I will reside in this valley for another hundred years,” Li Mu said with a wave of his hand, confidently accepting the five congratulatory gifts, making a promise to the five.
