I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 663: Chapter 360: Divine Soul Transformation (Part 2)

[Ding, you consumed one Free Skill Point, Cyan Lotus Sword Array - Initial Splendor Chapter Proficiency +1, Cyan Lotus Sword Array - Initial Splendor Chapter Level upgraded to: Level 5, you comprehended: Red Lotus Sword Array.]

...

[Ding, insufficient Innate Mu Yi Sword Qi, insufficient Sword Intent, Cyan Lotus Sword Array - Initial Splendor Chapter cannot continue to upgrade level.]

...

Ultimately, Li Mu was forced to halt because of the limitations of the two special conditions. The Cyan Lotus Sword Array - Initial Splendor Chapter stopped at Level 5 and could not be further upgraded.

Seeing this, Li Mu sighed, but it was not surprising. This Inheritance Cultivation Technique of the Cyan Lotus Sword Array was inherently a level above the Profound Celestial Sword Array, so it was not unusual for special attributes to be required for cultivating it.

Li Mu continued to allocate points to the next Sword Array Technique.

[Ding, you consumed one Free Skill Point, Supreme Profound Sword Array - Golden Profound Chapter Proficiency +1.]

...

[Ding, you consumed one Free Skill Point, Supreme Profound Sword Array - Golden Profound Chapter Proficiency +1, Supreme Profound Sword Array - Golden Profound Chapter Level upgraded to: Level 1, you comprehended: Sword Array - Earth Fiend Golden Profound.]

...

[Ding, you consumed one Free Skill Point, Supreme Profound Sword Array - Golden Profound Chapter Proficiency +1, Supreme Profound Sword Array - Golden Profound Chapter Level upgraded to: Level 2, you comprehended: Sword Array - Concealed Celestial Golden Profound.]

...

The virtual log bar was densely packed, displaying countless prompts.

Like the Cyan Lotus Sword Array, when the Supreme Profound Sword Array was upgraded to Level 5, it couldn’t continue to upgrade due to lack of Innate Metal Sword Qi and insufficient Sword Intent Attribute.

Fortunately, Li Mu was mentally prepared for this. After gaining numerous Sword Array Skills from the Supreme Profound Sword Array, he turned his attention to Artifact Refining.

This time around, the harvest was bountiful. Li Mu not only gained three Inheritance Cultivation Techniques but also postponed two Array Formation tasks with Qiu Changming and took on fifteen tasks of refining Tier Six Spirit Swords.

Refining a Tier Six Spirit Sword for the Profound Celestial Sword Sect could earn 100,000 Sect Contribution points. Simultaneously, the Sect would provide two batches of Artifact Refining Spiritual Materials, and if refined successfully, one could earn a batch of Artifact Refining Spiritual Materials as profit.

The rewards from the Artifact Refining tasks were substantial.

Thus, Li Mu entered the ’Painting Realm Treasure Mansion’ headfirst, summoning the Chi Lian Fire Phoenix and Cyan Moon True Dragon to refine artifacts together.

Time flew by, and three months passed.

The Seven Gods Mountain, this ancient and mysterious peak, under the blessing of the Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Gathering Array, seemed to transform into a Sea of Qi filled with vitality. As the Grand Array operated, the Five Elements Yin Yang Qi continuously gathered here, bringing the Spiritual Qi concentration to an astonishing level.

Everyone in the Seven Profound Sect, from newcomers to Elders with deep Cultivation, immersed themselves in this rich Spiritual Qi environment. Under such nurturing of dense Spiritual Qi, their Cultivation increased daily. Some disciples, who were originally slow in their cultivation, also gradually found opportunities for breakthroughs, rapidly advancing in strength.

The whole Seven Profound Sect exhibited a prosperous and enthusiastic atmosphere for cultivation.

On this day, unexpected visitors from the Void Refining Cultivators arrived via Sky Control.

”Profound Celestial Sword Sect - Qi Yun, Yuan Zhendong, here to visit - Sect Master Li!”

The voices of the two Void Refining Cultivators reverberated over the Seven Gods Mountain like great bells and horns, shocking the hearts of the disciples of the Seven Profound Sect.

The Elders of the Seven Profound Sect, leading the Core Disciples, opened the Sect’s protective array and went out to welcome them.

”It is an honor for our Seven Profound Sect to have two seniors come from afar. Unfortunately, Sect Master Li is currently in closed cultivation and unable to greet you personally. If you don’t mind, please wait inside the Sect for a moment, and we will converse when the Sect Master emerges,” Fang Shixin stepped forward and respectfully saluted.

”Oh! Sect Master Li is in seclusion!” Qi Yun was slightly taken aback, a trace of disappointment flashed across his face. He had hoped to personally interact with Sect Master Li and commissioned him for artifact refining but did not expect he was in closed cultivation.

”Do you know how long Sect Master Li has been in seclusion and when he might emerge?” Yuan Zhendong, the other Void Refining Cultivator, frowned and asked Fang Shixin urgently.

”The Sect Master has been in seclusion for three months, and he has not informed when he will emerge,” Fang Shixin responded truthfully.

Upon hearing Fang Shixin’s response, Qi Yun and Yuan Zhendong exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat helpless. Once ordinary cultivators enter closed cultivation, they immerse themselves entirely in their cultivation world, often too absorbed to be distracted by external matters. The duration of seclusion varies; some may last only a few months, while others may extend to three, five years, or even longer.

Sect Master Li has been in seclusion for three months, and the timing of his emergence remains unknown, which leaves them at a bit of a loss.

Qi Yun looked at Yuan Zhendong and asked concernedly, ”Brother Yuan, would you be willing to stay and wait for Sect Master Li to emerge?”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhendong pondered.

They came specifically to seek Li Mu for artifact refining, and with imminent warfare, they were soon to embark on a mission. They were initially here to find an Artifact Refining Grandmaster to craft a Spirit Sword, which is crucial for them. However, Sect Master Li’s seclusion brought significant disruption to their plans.

Whether to continue waiting or seek someone else, Yuan Zhendong was uncertain.

While Yuan Zhendong hesitated, a gentle voice interrupted his thoughts. He looked up to find an Elder from the Seven Profound Sect approaching them through the air, smiling amiably at them. This Elder wore a red Magic Robe and looked at them with a benevolent smile.

”If I’m not mistaken, you two are here seeking Sect Master Li for artifact refining, correct?” Qin Wentong asked with a smile as he looked at the pair.

Qi Yun and Yuan Zhendong met each other’s gaze and nodded in unison, ”Indeed, we came specifically to seek Sect Master Li’s help to refine a Spirit Sword.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Wentong displayed a warm smile and gently stroked his long beard, indicating, ”Sect Master Li has been in closed cultivation for months, and the timing of his emergence is unknown. Should you choose to wait here, we at the Seven Profound Sect will arrange everything appropriately; if you wish to seek someone else, that’s perfectly understandable.”

Qin Wentong paused, his tone revealing respect and awe for Li Mu, and indicated, ”However, refining a Tier Six Spirit Sword requires an extremely high level of Artifact Refining Skill, something beyond the capabilities of an ordinary Artifact Refining Master. Sect Master Li’s achievements in Artifact Refining are unparalleled; refining a Tier Six Spirit Treasure, Spirit Sword, is no challenge for him.”

Hearing this, Qi Yun and Yuan Zhendong couldn’t help but feel a slight stir in their hearts. They came on this journey specifically to find an Artifact Refining Grandmaster to commission the crafting of a Spirit Sword. However, with Sect Master Li in seclusion, it placed them in a dilemma.

”Friend, are you also an Artifact Refining Master? Please enlighten us!” Qi Yun respectfully saluted Qin Wentong and asked with concern.

Qin Wentong smiled slightly and indicated, ”Sect Master Li’s Artifact Refining Skill is unmatched. Not long ago, he crafted three Tier Six Spiritual Treasures for several Elders of our Sect. If the two of you aren’t too fastidious, perhaps you can first behold their splendor.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun and Yuan Zhendong’s spirits were lifted.

”Is this true!?” Qi Yun couldn’t resist asking, his voice betraying barely concealed excitement.

”Where are the three Spirit Treasures?” Yuan Zhendong asked urgently, also eager to witness the elegance of those treasures firsthand.

Noticing their eagerness, Qin Wentong smiled and looked toward Fang Shixin, Ge Xinyu, and Nangong Chenxing.

These three were the fortunate ones for whom Sect Master Li personally refined the Tier Six Spiritual Treasures.

Fang Shixin, Ge Xinyu, and Nangong Chenxing exchanged glances at Qin Wentong’s signal and, despite a hint of discontentment at being suddenly brought into the spotlight, agreed that this was an excellent opportunity to showcase Sect Master Li’s Artifact Refining Skill to Qi Yun and Yuan Zhendong. They each retrieved the Tier Six Spiritual Treasures commissioned to Li Mu for refining.

In Fang Shixin’s hand appeared a long sword, with the sword body exuding brilliant rays, its blade emanating an icy chill, evidently a rare Tier Six Spirit Sword. Ge Xinyu summoned forth a water fish transformed by Spirit, radiating a vibrant crystalline glow that felt exceedingly spiritual, while Nangong Chenxing manifested a red-yellow Spirit Turtle that swiftly transformed into a large earth-yellow shield, exuding a tremendously heavy aura, seemingly containing the immense Power of Earth.

As soon as the three Tier Six Spirit Treasures were displayed, they immediately attracted the envious gazes of the crowd and captured the attention of Qi Yun and Yuan Zhendong.
