I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 850: Chapter 449: News of the Secret Realm

”For Void Refining Cultivators, this pill formula is of extraordinary value. In addition to this piece of Extreme Yang Spirit Jade, I will add three bottles of ’Void-Breaking Pill’ in exchange for this formula. What do you think?” Huang Long Daoist looked at Li Mu, making his proposal.

”To obey is better than to be polite. Many thanks, Senior.” Hearing Huang Long Daoist’s terms, Li Mu smiled faintly and nodded.

Huang Long Daoist hurriedly took out two bottles of Void-Breaking Pill from his Storage Ring, and together with the Extreme Yang Spirit Jade and another bottle of Void-Breaking Pill, handed them all over to Li Mu.

”My thanks, Senior. I trust the Returning Void Pill will certainly be successfully refined in your hands.” Li Mu accepted the three bottles of Spirit Pill and the Extreme Yang Spirit Jade with a smile, speaking sincerely.

”This Returning Void Pill is indeed excellent. I just happen to be in urgent need of one to cooperate with Condensing Realm. However, the several Alchemy Main Ingredients required for the Returning Void Pill are rather difficult to find. Little friend, since you obtained this pill formula, you must have some understanding of where these main ingredients originate, yes?” Huang Long Daoist looked at Li Mu, his eyes flickering with eager light. He knew well how precious the Returning Void Pill was, and even more clearly how rare its Alchemy Main Ingredients were, hence his question.

At these words, the other Void Refining Cultivators also turned to look at Li Mu, their gazes filled with expectation and curiosity. That Li Mu could, in Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation, already reach the level of Artifact Refining Grandmaster was certainly no ordinary feat. Therefore, they held very high expectations of Li Mu.

Meeting the burning gazes of everyone present, Li Mu drew in a deep breath, a calm and unhurried smile appearing on his face. He spoke slowly: ”Senior is quite right. The Alchemy Main Ingredients for the Returning Void Pill are indeed hard to seek. However, ever since this junior obtained the pill formula, I have devoted myself to studying it and making inquiries in many directions, and have finally gained some clues, faintly discerning a few possible sources for the main ingredients.”

The Returning Void Pill is a Top-grade Spirit Pill that assists in Condensing Realm; for Void Refining Cultivators, its value goes without saying. Li Mu’s reason for choosing to bring up this pill formula at this very trade gathering, openly revealing its worth, was precisely to lure them onto the hook and obtain the information he wanted.

The several main ingredients required to refine the Returning Void Pill were all peerless rarities in this world. Among them, the Nine Void Reishi was even acclaimed as the ”King of Spirits”. It needed to grow in High-tier Spirit Soil such as Nine Void Spirit Soil in order to thrive, and was extremely rare. The Concentrating Spirit Fruit, while not as scarce as Nine Void Reishi, still required a specific environment to properly mature.

During his last exploration of the Cangyuan Secret Realm, Li Mu happened by chance to obtain quite a few Concentrating Spirit Fruits. As for the Nine Void Reishi, since it could only grow in High-tier Spirit Soil such as Nine Void Spirit Soil, there was a very high chance it would appear within the Secret Realm of the Spirit Void Blessed Island.

Li Mu had thrown out the Returning Void Pill formula with the intention of using it to probe news of the Spirit Void Blessed Land from their mouths; now it seemed that this plan was going smoothly.

Listening to Li Mu’s explanation, the Void Refining Cultivators all trembled in spirit, and waited quietly for what would come next.

Huang Long Daoist was even more anxious. Looking at Li Mu, he hurriedly pressed: ”Little friend, you know their precise whereabouts? Quickly, tell us.”

Seeing that everyone had obviously taken the bait, Li Mu smiled slightly and continued his deeper explanation: ”First, the hardest main ingredient to obtain for this Returning Void Pill is the ’Nine Void Reishi’. Perhaps some of you are unaware—Nine Void Reishi is not an ordinary Spirit Medicine. It must grow in a soil known as Nine Void Spirit Soil to be born. Yet Nine Void Spirit Soil is a kind of Spiritual Energy–rich High-tier Spirit Soil, with Earth Element Qi incomparably dense, exceptionally suited to the growth of various High-tier Spirit Medicine. Among these, Nine Void Reishi and Medicine King Spirit Ginseng are outstanding examples, and the soil itself is an indispensable primary material for refining Grotto Heaven Treasures. However, Nine Void Spirit Soil is extremely hard to come by, and usually can only be nurtured within Top-Grade Spirit Veins where Earth Elemental Spiritual Power is highly concentrated.”

Listening to Li Mu’s account, the Void Refining Cultivators all revealed expressions of sudden realization and could not help falling into thought.

After a brief pause, Li Mu glanced at the Void Refining Cultivators, seeming thoughtful, then continued: ”According to what I know, there is a Secret Realm called the Spirit Void Blessed Island that very likely contains Nine Void Spirit Soil. Unfortunately, though Mr. Li has made many inquiries, I have never been able to find the entrance to this Secret Realm.”

”Spirit Void Blessed Island!”

Hearing Li Mu mention the Secret Realm of the ’Spirit Void Blessed Island’, strange lights flickered in the eyes of the Void Refining Cultivators, and some even began muttering to themselves.

”Friend Li, are you certain that this Spirit Void Blessed Island really holds Nine Void Spirit Soil?” a Void Refining Cultivator could not help cutting in, his eyes shining with excitement.

”The probability is extremely high.” Li Mu nodded in affirmation. ”Though I have not gone there in person, the records in the Ancient Books and multiple sources of information all point to the same conclusion: the likelihood that Nine Void Spirit Soil exists on the Spirit Void Blessed Island is very great. It seems that this Spirit Void Blessed Island appears in the Eastern Illusion Sea Region, but it is said to only surface once every several hundred years, its position drifting unpredictably, making it hard to track down.

”Seniors, you have lived in the Eastern Illusion Sea Region for many years. Do any of you know the whereabouts of this island?” Li Mu’s gaze swept across the faces of the Void Refining Cultivators as he asked with concern.

The Void Refining Cultivators looked at one another, their eyes collectively shifting to Huang Long Daoist, yet none revealed this information.

After a moment, a black-robed elder with snow-white beard and hair slowly spoke: ”Friend Li, though I have lived in the Eastern Illusion Sea Region for many years, I have only heard the name ’Spirit Void Blessed Island’ and have never seen it. This island appears without pattern and is difficult to track; it truly is not something that can be easily found.”

”Let us set this matter aside for now. Friend Li, please continue with the clues for the other main ingredients.” Huang Long Daoist gave a dry cough, breaking the awkward atmosphere and shifting the topic.

The Void Refining Cultivators were slightly taken aback, but then all once more maintained their silence.
