I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 648 - 353: Resolving Hidden Threats

Before heading to the Scripture Pavilion, Li Mu had one more task to do.

After saying farewell to the gentle Wen Bisheng, Li Mu’s figure flickered and transformed into a streak of flowing light, swiftly flying to Wood Element Peak.

As one of the main peaks of Seven Gods Mountain, Wood Element Peak has always been the heart of the Seven Profound Sect since ancient times. It towers into the clouds, majestic and overwhelming, and the Sect Leader’s Mansion, located on its mid-slope, is the most prominent structure on this main peak. It is not only a residence but also a symbol of power.

When Li Mu’s figure appeared at the Sect Leader’s Mansion, the Fourth Elder Zhong Zilin, who had been waiting there along with other high-level officials of the Seven Profound Sect, stepped forward and greeted in unison, "Greetings, Sect Master!"

"Sect Master, such great skills!"

With the restart of the Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Gathering Array, the spiritual energy of the entire Seven Gods Mountain became enriched, and its quality significantly improved.

This enormous change brought joy and excitement to the entire Seven Profound Sect.

All this is credited to the powerful means of the new Sect Master—Li Mu. Thus, all the high-level members of the Seven Profound Sect were filled with admiration and gratitude towards Li Mu.

"Hmm, this little trick is indeed not worth mentioning." Li Mu responded in a relaxed tone.

Li Mu’s gaze swept over the face of each high-level member, as if trying to read their thoughts from their expressions, and finally asked with a smile, "Elders, do you seek me for something?"

Zhong Zilin exchanged a glance with other high-level members, Fang Shixin stepped forward first, walked up to Li Mu, and said with great expectation in his eyes, "Sect Master, you said before that we could commission you to refine a spirit treasure. Now, I have gathered the necessary artifact refining spiritual materials. I wonder when the Sect Master will have time, I would like to commission you to help refine a spirit treasure?"

"Hmm, no problem. Besides you, who else has gathered the artifact refining spiritual materials?" Li Mu asked the crowd.

Upon hearing Li Mu’s question, Nangong Chenxing also stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Fang Shixin. He glanced at Ge Xinyu, signaling her to step forward as well. Ge Xinyu nodded gently and elegantly walked to their side.

"Sect Master, besides Elder Fang, Elder Ge and I have also gathered artifact refining spiritual materials," Nangong Chenxing respectfully said, "The three of us hope to commission the Sect Master to refine spirit treasures for us."

Hall Master Qiu said that Sect Master Li is a master of both array and artifact, today they’ve witnessed the might of these formations. The sect array, dormant for millennia, was successfully reawakened by him. Comparable to his singular artifact refining skill, it must be outstanding as well.

Artifact refining grandmasters are hard to find; this century-rare opportunity, the three of them are willing to take the risk and try it.

"Alright, since you have all meticulously prepared the artifact refining spiritual materials, I can now refine for you," Li Mu nodded slightly, indicating his willingness to take on their artifact refining commission, and suggested, "Let me review the spiritual materials you’ve prepared for refining the treasure, and tell me your requirements for the treasure!"

"I wish to refine a Gold Element Spirit Sword, primarily for attack, and it would be even better if it could carry some supportive abilities. Sect Master, these are the spiritual materials I’ve prepared for refining the treasure, with the remainder as payment for artifact refining services, do you think it’s sufficient?" Fang Shixin, overjoyed, quickly took out a storage ring and offered it respectfully with both hands, asking with some concern.

Li Mu took the storage ring, smiled faintly, then his divine sense permeated it like fine threads. In just a moment, he clearly sensed the types and quantities of spiritual materials inside. These materials were all above Tier Six, primarily Gold Element Spiritual Materials, of excellent quality and considerable quantity.

"Elder Fang has indeed prepared abundant spiritual materials, more than sufficient to refine a Tier Six Gold Spiritual Sword." Li Mu assessed privately in his heart, the value of these materials is roughly equivalent to the requirements for refining two and a half Tier Six spiritual treasures. If a Tier Six Spirit Sword is successfully refined, the remaining materials as a payment for artifact refining would still be a considerable gain for him.

However, the path of artifact refining is not easy, especially refining high-tier spiritual artifacts requires exquisite skill and rich experience. Refining a Tier Six spiritual treasure is time-consuming and labor-intensive, with a significant possibility of failure. For an ordinary artifact refining grandmaster, this commission would be quite challenging, and such a small payment would certainly not be accepted.

However, to Li Mu, it is not a problem. He possesses two clusters of Celestial Fire and is granted special artifact refining abilities by the Eightfold Celestial Fire Forging Method, which makes him thrive in the path of artifact refining, with a success rate of ninety percent in artifact refining, and an efficiency far beyond other artifact refining grandmasters.

This payment for Li Mu, completing this commission, can still earn quite a few sets of Tier Six spiritual materials.

Thinking of this, Li Mu looked up at Fang Shixin, nodded with a smile, and said, "Elder Fang, the spiritual materials you have prepared are very sufficient and of quite good quality. Refining a Gold Element Spirit Sword focused on attack is not difficult for me, as for the supportive abilities, although a bit challenging, I will try my best. The remaining materials as a payment for artifact refining, let’s go with what you’ve said!"

Upon hearing Li Mu’s words, Fang Shixin finally felt relieved and couldn’t help but become excited, quickly bowing and saying, "Thank you, Sect Master! Then, I’ll trouble the Sect Master with the effort!"

Seeing Sect Master Li accepted Fang Shixin’s artifact refining commission, Nangong Chenxing also stepped forward, offering his storage ring with both hands, eyes shining with anticipation, and said, "Sect Master, these are the spiritual materials I’ve prepared for artifact refining. I hope to refine a defensive treasure. If the earth escape ability can be integrated, that would be even better."

Following closely, Ge Xinyu quickly took out a storage bracelet from her elegant pocket and respectfully presented it: "Sect Master, these are my artifact refining spiritual materials. I wish to refine a Water Element Magical Treasure, hoping that it could carry the might of divine techniques in the Magic Dao, and also possess supportive abilities. If the artifact refining is successful, the leftover spiritual materials will be used as payment for the artifact refining."
