I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 591 - 325: The Yin Soul Lingers

Next day, early morning.

Li’s Treasure Tower opened for business, immediately attracting a crowd of excited customers who flocked into the shop, their heads bustling amidst the lively scene.

News of yesterday’s events spread across the entire Ten Thousand Stars Island Sea Region, revealing that Li’s Treasure Tower hosted a Tier Six Refining Grandmaster. This garnered recognition from numerous Void Refining luminaries and Venerable Divinity Transformation figures, prompting countless loose cultivators to flock here. Some came to glimpse the grandmaster’s elegance and see if they could forge connections to commission artifact refinement, others sought to purchase a suitable spiritual artifact, while some were simply driven by curiosity, hoping for a stroke of luck.

For a time, Li’s Treasure Tower became the focal point of the entire Ten Thousand Stars Island Sea Region. The shop was packed with Nascent Soul cultivators, Golden Core cultivators, converging from all directions, leaving Foundation Establishment loose cultivators unqualified to enter.

The display shelves of the Treasure Tower were filled with various spiritual artifacts, powerful puppets, mysterious talismans, and high-tier spirit pills, each attracting the attention of entering cultivators.

"Worthy of being refined by a grandmaster in artifact refining; each spiritual artifact here is brimming with spiritual energy!" A Golden Core cultivator, holding the newly purchased spiritual artifact, a round shield, exclaimed in admiration.

"Shopkeeper, how many spirit stones for that Spirit Sword? I’m taking it!" A Nascent Soul loose cultivator’s eyes gleamed as he pointed at a Fire Spirit Sword, ready to draw out spirit stones.

"Friend, I chose this Spirit Sword first!" Another Nascent Soul cultivator, feeling displeased, retorted.

"Just because you chose it doesn’t make it yours! Go ahead, buy it then! Can’t I buy it if you don’t?" The Nascent Soul elder replied unceremoniously.

"Shopkeeper, looking at the empty shelves, are the Tier Four Spirit Swords sold out?" A Nascent Soul cultivator asked urgently.

"Not only do your store sell spiritual artifacts, what is this spirit talisman, its thunder might is great!" A Venerable Divinity Transformation pointed at a talisman and said.

"No wonder it’s Li’s Treasure Tower, everything here is exquisite! It’s just that the price is quite steep!" An elder touched his Storage Bag, expressing reluctance.

"Shopkeeper, I want that puppet!"

...

The Li’s Treasure Tower was lively and bustling, filled with voices everywhere, whether Nascent Soul cultivators or Golden Core loose cultivators, even Venerable Divinity Transformation figures could find their desired spiritual objects within the Treasure Tower.

Li’s Treasure Tower experienced its busiest moment since opening, with a heated atmosphere not only inside the store but also outside, surrounded by cultivators eager to take a closer look.

Shopkeeper Liu, Xue’Er, and a group of young female shop assistants were busily attending to customers, facilitating spiritual object transactions and answering a myriad of questions.

...

In the meeting room on the third floor, Li Mu was not idle either. Following yesterday’s word, numerous Divinity Transformation cultivators and Void Refining cultivators carrying artifact refining spiritual materials sought him out for appraisal of high-tier refining spiritual materials and to discuss artifact refining commissions.

In the meeting room, Li Mu first received a Void Refining cultivator, Ding Bozhang, one of the Supreme Elders of the Sea God Sect.

"Master Li, these high-tier spiritual materials have been collected and treasured by me for hundreds of years. I hope to use them to refine a spirit treasure matched with my cultivation technique, suitable for both offense and defense. If possible, I hope it also has auxiliary cultivation effects."

After a brief pleasantry, Ding Bozhang took out a Storage Ring and handed it to Li Mu, introducing it apologetically.

Li Mu reached out to receive the Storage Ring, penetrating his divine sense to investigate, instantly ’seeing’ the Storage Ring filled with dazzling spirit light, a dozen types of spiritual materials interlaced in blue and yellow, all with abundant spiritual energy.

Li Mu carefully examined each spiritual material, discovering that every piece was a rare treasure, with even two Tier Seven Spiritual Materials among them, exuding powerful spiritual energy.

Li Mu silently praised, realizing such a collection of high-tier spiritual materials required extremely profound foundations and strength, achievable only by backing of a sect like Sea God Sect. In comparison, although loose cultivators have chances of obtaining high-tier spiritual materials, the quantity and quality often cannot compare to these major sects.

"Elder Ding, the quality of this batch of spiritual materials is indeed outstanding, and the quantity is sufficient." Li Mu retracted his divine sense and seriously confirmed to the other party, "Using these materials as a base, refining a Tier Six Gold and Water Dual Element Tier Six Spirit Treasure is certainly feasible."

After a brief pause, Li Mu added, "However, Elder Ding, the requirement for a spirit treasure to be suitable for both offense and defense, with auxiliary cultivation effects, poses a challenge for refining." He paused briefly before continuing, "This not only means the refinement process will be extremely complex, taking doubled time, but also increases the likelihood of failure."

Li Mu looked at the counterpart, offering earnest advice, "Elder Ding, these difficulties and challenges are all real and should not be underestimated. You must consider carefully before starting the artifact refinement!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Bozhang hesitated. The hundreds of years of collection and exhausted efforts—should artifact refinement fail—will result in all refining spiritual materials being destroyed. This risk is indeed too great, necessitating careful consideration.

Ding Bozhang understood Li Mu’s words were true, aware of the difficulty and risks in refining spirit treasures. Li Mu hadn’t exaggerated the situation. However, this doesn’t mean Ding Bozhang could accept it lightly, for refining a suitable high-tier spirit treasure required extremely high-grade refining spiritual materials and immense quantity. He had almost exhausted everything, even dipping into his last resources to gather the required materials.

For Ding Bozhang, such an investment was almost his limit. In the absence of strength to refine a second one, he hoped to refine a spirit treasure with comprehensive defensive and auxiliary effects. This way, not only could it maximize utility but also demonstrate his vision and strength.
