I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 463: Chapter 267: Turmoil Rising Again

”The current number of Tier Seven Spiritual Materials is scarce and extremely rare, and they are key to crafting Daoist Soldiers and Dao Foundation Spiritual Objects. For Divinity Transformation Cultivators, it is crucial in refining higher Daoist Foundations, so few people bring them out for trade!”

”Tier Five Spiritual Materials are mainstream refining materials, suitable for use by Nascent Soul True Monarchs. At the same time, there are many Artifact Refining Masters capable of crafting Tier Five Spiritual Artifacts, hence the market circulation of Tier Five Spiritual Materials is limited!”

”Tier Six Spiritual Materials are different. Few Artifact Refining Grandmasters can use them to refine Tier Six Spirit Treasures. As a result, the market is flooded with Tier Six Spiritual Materials, and many Divinity Transformation Cultivators have stored a significant amount, worrying they can’t find someone to refine them...” Lin Baoqing explained in detail while looking at Li Mu.

Li Mu suddenly understood, looked at the jade scroll in his hand, and frowned in hesitation.

Although Tier Six Spirit Treasures and Tier Five Spiritual Artifacts differ only by one tier, the spiritual power consumption between the two is worlds apart. Li Mu’s cultivation and divine sense are comparable to Divinity Transformation Cultivators, yet he still finds it challenging to use Tier Six Spirit Treasures.

Using Tier Five Spirit Swords is different; even when deploying five Tier Five Spirit Swords simultaneously in a Five Elements Sword Array, the power is not inferior to a Tier Six Spirit Sword. This is why, although Li Mu has successfully refined several Tier Six Spirit Swords, he doesn’t use them often.

According to Li Mu’s plan, the purpose of accepting these commissions to refine Tier Six Spirit Treasures was mainly to earn some rare Tier Seven Spiritual Materials or a large quantity of Tier Five Spiritual Materials, which could be used to refine Tier Five Spirit Swords to complete the ’Ten Thousand Swords Mountain’ or enhance the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion by adding Five Elements Spiritual Materials.

The jade scroll recorded that most refining commissions offered rewards in the form of Tier Six Spiritual Materials, which inevitably left Li Mu somewhat disappointed.

Lin Baoqing noticed Li Mu’s expression was off and asked concernedly, ”Master Li, is there a problem with the remuneration? If you’re not satisfied, we can negotiate again. Any requests you have, please feel free to tell me, and I’ll negotiate on your behalf!”

Currently, only the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion can handle the business of refining Tier Six Spirit Treasures. If this deal goes through successfully, building connections with these bigwigs would provide unimaginable benefits for the future dealings of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

However, the first prerequisite to completing these refining commissions is to ensure ’Master Li’ is satisfied with the remuneration.

Lin Baoqing watched Li Mu carefully, afraid of serving inadequately.

Li Mu pondered for a moment, handed the jade scroll to Lin Baoqing, and responded, ”Refining a Spirit Treasure takes considerable effort. The list is quite long, so we can only select ten initially, with the remuneration prioritized towards those offering Tier Seven or Tier Five Spiritual Materials. If they can provide a large number of high-tier Spirit Seeds, some preference can be given. As for the others, let’s put them off for now. I don’t need so many Tier Six Spiritual Materials.”

”Alright! Alright, I’ll arrange it immediately,” Lin Baoqing responded promptly with relief.

”By the way, does the Treasure Pavilion currently have any high-tier Spirit Ships? It’s about time I replaced the Spirit Ship I have,” Li Mu inquired, looking at Lin Baoqing.

”Yes! Yes! My bad, it was my oversight. Master Li, would you care to move and come with me to check the warehouse?” Lin Baoqing gestured invitingly, leading with enthusiasm.

Li Mu nodded, stood up, and followed Lin Baoqing to the warehouse.

”Recently, the Demon Flame of the Nine Demons Sect has been raging. They first massacred four sects and then annihilated the Demon Race, appearing poised to engulf the entire South Wilderness Spirit Realm. Several Great Immortal Sects of the Central State Domain have allied together, mobilizing troops to prepare to attack and extinguish the Nine Demons Sect, suppressing their rampant arrogance! Fortunately, a batch of high-tier Spirit Ships just arrived from the headquarters,” Lin Baoqing introduced while leading Li Mu to the warehouse.

Li Mu nodded understandingly. No wonder Desolate Ancient City has become much more lively; it turns out the Great Immortal Sects of the Central State Spirit Realm are preparing to take action against the Nine Demons Sect.

Having continuously encountered attacks by the Nine Demons Sect, the sect has indeed become too arrogant. The Qing Xuan Sect and the Hundred Refinements Sect were successively destroyed, and several clans in the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts had numerous clan leaders and elders slaughtered by the Nine Demons Sect.

Moreover, concerning the uniform Demon Armor refined by the Nine Demons Sect—Bu Mie Louse Demon Armor—Li Mu felt lingering fear. It is a Demon Artifact with extremely strong defense, capable of generating Immortal Demonic Qi, making Nascent Soul Demon Monarchs impervious to blades and swords while drastically increasing their cultivation.

Furthermore, it seems like a type that can be mass-manufactured in considerable quantities. With the augmentation of such Demon Armor, the war potential is immense.

All signs indicate that the Nine Demons Sect has significant ambitions.

For a moment, numerous thoughts flashed through Li Mu’s mind, and a trace of worry passed through his eyes as he wondered if he should distance himself from this troubled land of the South Wilderness Spirit Realm.

It is important to know that he inadvertently thwarted quite a few actions by the Nine Demons Sect, and quite a few Demon Monarchs and Demon Venerables from the sect have perished at his hands. Suddenly, Li Mu felt apprehensive about potential retaliation from the Nine Demons Sect.

Soon, under Lin Baoqing’s guidance, they arrived at a gigantic warehouse filled with high-tier Spirit Ships.

”Master Li, please have a look. This is the Profound Celestial Sect’s small Treasure Ship—the Celestial Sword Ship, with a length of fifty-six zhang, a height of seven zhang, and a width of three zhang. It contains a large amount of Tier Five Red Essence Gold, ...”

”Also, the one next to it is very suitable for you; it’s the Tier Five Illusion Concealment Ship refined by the Hidden Immortal Sect, ...”

...

Lin Baoqing continued to enthusiastically introduce the various high-tier Treasure Ships in the warehouse to Li Mu.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion truly lives up to its reputation as a large commercial organization sprawling across the Central State Spirit Realm and the South Wilderness Spirit Realm, selling high-tier Treasure Ships from various Great Immortal Sects.

Under the Innate Divine Power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, the attributes of the dozen or so high-tier Treasure Ships in the warehouse were presented before Li Mu, their pros and cons evident.

Li Mu frowned slightly in dissatisfaction. Although the shipbuilding materials used for these Spirit Ships were indeed good, and their utility quite strong, they still fell short of the Spirit Sword he envisioned.
