“Thank you for thinking highly of me, Senior. I think we should forget about pre-ordering a six-tier spirit treasure. Li is not sure when he will be able to refine a six-tier spirit treasure, so it’s not appropriate to receive a Six-Tier Material now!” Li Mu looked at Nangong Feiyu and smiled as he politely refused.
“Master Li, you worry too much, it’s just a Six-Tier Material!” Nangong Feiyu smiled and waved his hand.
“That’s right! Master Li, if I can pre-order a chance to refine a six-tier spirit treasure, Saintess Lian Yue is also willing to pre-order a spot. If a six-tier spirit treasure can be refined, and Master Li has any requests, Saintess Lian Yue will do her best to satisfy them,” Saintess Lian Yue said eagerly, looking at Li Mu.
“Exactly! Tian is also willing, I hope Master Li will not refuse!”
“Master Li, …”
The Soul Transformation Cultivators all looked at Li Mu, eagerly pleading.
For them, using one Six-Tier Material to pre-order a future spot for a Grandmaster Refiner to refine a Spirit Treasure was an incredibly cost-effective deal. Those Grandmaster Refiners were all the hallmarks of major Sects, and requesting them to refine a six-tier spirit treasure required an extraordinarily high price.
Sometimes, even after paying a hefty price, one still had to wait in line, often for decades or even centuries.
For an unaligned Artifact Refining Great Master like Li Mu, who was only one step away from becoming a Six-Tier Grandmaster Refiner, investing a Six-Tier Material in him now to pre-order a refining spot was perfectly suitable!
The Cultivators all made their calculations, 'clattering' their abacuses, and followed Nangong Feiyu in investing.
“Master Li, everyone is so enthusiastic, you shouldn’t refuse! It just so happens that this old man also has a treasured item, and I hope Master Li will give me Face! Count me in.” Tian Yuan Revered One took out a Spiritual Plant from his storage ring and looked at Li Mu with a smile, gesturing.
Li Mu glanced at the blood-colored Spiritual Plant in Tian Yuan Revered One’s hand, and his expression immediately became a little unsettled.
【Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass】
【Grade: Six-Tier Spiritual Plant】
【Characteristics: Refines Bloodline, Abundant Blood Spirit, Dragon Qi Formation, True Dragon Breath】
【Status: Abundant Spiritual Power, Dragon Qi Breeding.】
【A 1,500-year-old Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass, born alongside a True Dragon, a Six-Tier Spiritual Plant. It has the effect of purifying the Bloodline of Flood Dragons and breaking through their Realm Legacy. It is one of the main Materials for refining Six-Tier Dragon Transformation Pills.】
The blood-colored Spiritual Plant in Tian Yuan Revered One’s hand, which soared with Dragon Qi and was full of medicinal power, had all its information presented under the Talent Divine Power - Identify Myriad Spirits.
This Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass was many times better in quality than the one Li Mu saw from Yun Xiaozi. Its 1,500-year medicinal age allowed it to break through the Five-Tier limit and advance to a Six-Tier Spiritual Plant, with pure Dragon Blood Aura surging powerfully.
“Senior, are you truly willing to use this Spiritual Plant to pre-order an Artifact Refining spot with me, one that I don’t know when I’ll be able to perform?” Li Mu asked Tian Yuan Revered One, unsettled.
The Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon, having already consumed the Net Blood Spirit Zhi, would certainly receive a significant Aptitude boost upon consuming this Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass. Advancing another major Realm would only be a matter of time.
This Six-Tier Spiritual Plant was too precious and extremely important to Li Mu; he could not refuse it.
“Of course, I originally intended to find a Flood Dragon as a Spirit Beast and utilize this Spiritual Plant, but alas, Flood Dragons are rare, and powerful Flood Dragons with potential are extraordinary. This matter has been dropped, and taking it out to pre-order a spot for refining a six-tier spirit treasure is absolutely not a loss. I hope Master Li will accept it with a smile,” Tian Yuan Revered One explained with a smile, then handed the Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass to Li Mu.
“In that case, Li will not decline! I will strive to break through the Artifact Refining bottleneck as soon as possible and refine a six-tier spirit treasure for Senior,” Li Mu said with a solemn expression, waving a Spiritual Power to trap the Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass, speaking earnestly.
“Good!” Tian Yuan Revered One laughed heartily.
“Master Li, this is mine, old man — Cheng Daoxing.”
“And me, old man — Bai Mei!”
“Master Li, please accept this with a smile, I am — Li Tianxing.”
“I, Shangguan Hong, also want to pre-order an Artifact Refining spot with Master Li!”
…
Seeing this, everyone was overjoyed and followed suit, sending a Six-Tier Material to Li Mu.
Li Mu continuously waved his Spiritual Power, accepting each Six-Tier Material, and then looked at the Cultivators, solemnly promising: “Thank you for your trust. Li swears by his Dao Heart that if his Refining Skill breaks through, he will complete the Artifact Refining agreement as promised. I ask all Seniors to prepare the six-tier spirit treasure refining Materials within fifty Years. At that time, just inform Manager Lin of Wanbao Pavilion, and you will be able to find me!”
Upon hearing this, the Cultivators’ spirits were simultaneously invigorated, and their eyes shone brightly.
“Master Li, do you have the confidence to break through to Six-Tier Artifact Refining within fifty Years?”
“Fifty Years, that fast?”
“Tsk tsk, Master Li, you are too humble. It’s a good thing I pre-ordered this spot!”
“Master Li, are these Materials enough for me to refine a Natal Flying Sword?”
“Master Li!”
…
The Cultivators immediately excitedly asked Li Mu about the material requirements for refining six-tier spirit treasures, and Li Mu patiently responded to each one.
Seeing the transaction interrupted and order collapsing, Tian Yuan Revered One had no choice but to intervene again, and only then could the trade fair continue.
The matter of pre-ordering six-tier spirit treasures would not affect subsequent transactions.
Fifty Years is still a long time! Enough for them to collect Artifact Refining Materials, and the Spiritual Objects currently at hand were all things they urgently needed.
After the trade resumed, Li Mu successively traded out Spirit Pills, Spirit Talismans, and Five-Tier Acquired Spirit Treasures, exchanging them for a pile of Five-Tier and Six-Tier Materials.
Time passed bit by bit, and the trade fair, which had lasted a full day, finally came to an end.
Li Mu had the most abundant harvest, and the other Cultivators also gained a lot.
Under the enthusiastic farewells of the Cultivators, Li Mu exited the Tian Yuan Temple.
“Alright! All Seniors, Fellow Daoists, we will meet again next time.” Li Mu bid farewell to the Cultivators, and as his voice fell, he swiftly flew out of the Daoist temple with a “whoosh.”
The next moment.
A Dragon roar, “Aung!”, echoed, reverberating across the sky. Li Mu summoned the Double-Horned Flood Dragon from his spirit control treasure bracelet.
The Double-Horned Azure Flood Dragon appeared out of thin air, circling in the sky, exuding a terrifying Aura that awed the entire scene.
Li Mu leaped up, landing on the Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon’s head, and rode the Dragon away.
“Six-Tier, it’s a Six-Tier Azure Moon Flood Dragon!”
“I didn’t expect it! This Master Li actually raised an Azure Moon Flood Dragon!”
“Fellow Daoist Tian Yuan, if it weren’t for your Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass, Master Li probably wouldn’t have accepted our Spiritual Materials!”
“So mighty! With the help of the Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass, that Azure Moon Flood Dragon’s advancement to Seven-Tier is just around the corner!”
…
Outside the Daoist temple, the Cultivators looked at Li Mu riding the Flood Dragon away, couldn’t help but exchange glances, and began to discuss animatedly.
“Fellow Daoist Tianyu, did you know beforehand about the Azure Moon Flood Dragon Master Li was riding?” Shangguan Hong asked Venerable Tianyu curiously.
“It must be. Fellow Daoist Tian Yuan, you have quite a deep friendship with Master Li, don’t you! Otherwise, you wouldn’t have catered to his preference!” Saintess Lian Yue said with a smile, looking at Tian Yuan Revered One.
“We are all blessed by Fellow Daoist Tian Yuan!” Wang Wuchen glanced at Tian Yuan Revered One and said with a smile.
“Tian does not know!” Tian Yuan Revered One watched Li Mu disappear into the distance, remained silent for a moment, and then responded with a bitter smile.
“Tsk tsk, this Master Li is truly extraordinary! He sells all sorts of high-tier Spiritual Objects, and even his mount is so mighty!” Venerable Chen Heng chuckled and said with emotion.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment, all noting Li Mu’s unusualness and being even more impressed by his financial power, especially since he carried a lot of high-tier Materials after the transaction. It was inevitable that some unpleasant thoughts would arise in their minds.
However, with the appearance of the Six-Tier Flood Dragon, those unpleasant thoughts of the Cultivators immediately vanished like smoke.
Master Li could produce so many high-tier Spiritual Artifacts and Spirit Talismans, and even casually summon a Six-Tier Peak Flood Dragon. Who knew what other means such a generous person might be hiding? Moreover, he was the Artifact Refining Guest Elder of Wanbao Pavilion.
They were all people of standing, and if they tried to steal and failed, it would not just be a simple loss; it would be more practical to honestly wait for a six-tier spirit treasure.
“Master Li, with only the cultivation of Early Stage Nascent Soul, he can even tame a Six-Tier Flood Dragon. His strength is truly unfathomable!”
“That’s right! I just wonder which immortal Sect’s Legacy such a person is?”
“He can produce demonic artifacts like the Six-Tier Demon Devouring Spear and the Six-Tier God Hating Coffin. If there are no surprises, I probably know a little about this Master Li’s origin!”
“Oh! Fellow Daoist Wang, quickly tell us!”
…
After watching Li Mu leave on the Dragon, the Cultivators present did not disperse. They gathered together, one speaking, one listening, speculating about his identity, even guessing that he was a direct descendant of a certain Immortal Sect’s great Sect.
Listening to the Cultivators speculate about ‘Master Li’s’ identity, the Daoist of Myriad Spirits in the corner was filled with relief and lingering fear.
At the beginning of the trade fair, the Daoist of Myriad Spirits hadn't noticed Li Mu, but only became aware of his presence when he successively acquired Spiritual Objects from the Soul Transformation Cultivators.
Watching Li Mu acquire a large number of Five-Tier and Six-Tier Materials and receive affirmation from the Soul Transformation Seniors, the Daoist of Myriad Spirits’ eyes turned red, wishing he could replace him, and an unavoidable greed arose in his heart.
However, seeing Li Mu’s majestic appearance as he rode the Dragon away, it was like a basin of cold water poured over the Daoist of Myriad Spirits’ head, instantly bringing him back to his senses.
Honorable Being Ji Yun and Kunling Honored One had successively inquired about Li Mu’s existence, but ultimately gained no benefits from him. The Daoist of Myriad Spirits deeply felt his terrifying nature and was also very fortunate that Honorable Being Ji Yun had averted a disaster for him. He heard that she had been recovering from injuries ever since that incident.
…
Li Mu was not surprised by the Cultivators’ discussions and did not take them to heart.
After this trade fair, Li Mu planned to retreat into Yin Yang Valley until the current batch of Spiritual Plants was harvested and his cultivation improved, only then would he consider leaving the valley.
Li Mu rode the Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon, rushing towards Yin Yang Valley with lightning speed.
“Qing Yue, stop for a moment!” Midway through the flight, in a secluded mountain range, Li Mu ordered the Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon to stop.
The Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon stopped its advance in confusion, its thick, pillar-like body suspended in the air. Its jade-green scales reflected shimmering light in the sunlight, Spiritual Mist and clouds encircled its body, Dragon Qi erupted, and its four claws were sharp as hooks, making it exceptionally majestic.
Li Mu smiled slightly and took out the blood-colored Spiritual Plant from the nine storage spiritual pearl.
Smelling the medicinal power of the Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass, the Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon immediately became excited. It opened its gaping maw, its body continuously twisting, and its pair of vertical pupils revealed undisguised eagerness.
“Master, what did you bring? What kind of Spiritual Plant is that! How can it contain so much Dragon Qi?” The Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon sensed the presence of the Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass and anxiously asked Li Mu.
The Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon had never seen such a Spiritual Plant in its thousand Years of existence. Just by smelling its Aura, it could make its Bloodline boil.
“Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass! I promised you this before, and now I’ve fulfilled my promise!” Li Mu smiled slightly and tossed the Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass in his hand towards the Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon.
The Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon’s vertical eyes glowed, its head stretched out, and it opened its gaping maw, impatiently swallowing the Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass in one gulp.
As soon as the Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass entered its belly, the Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon’s body immediately surged with a large amount of blood-Qi, turning completely red, as if it were enduring intense pain. Its massive tail couldn’t help but thrash.
“Aung! Aung!”
The Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon couldn’t help but let out a series of Dragon roars towards the sky, feeling the pain of powerful transformation. Its thick tail whipped violently in the air, creating bursts of air explosions, and immense Flood Dragon power poured out.
In an instant, the entire area was filled with a violent Aura, and the heavens and earth changed color.
Seeing this, Li Mu quickly flew out from the Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon’s head, flying a dozen Li away, to avoid being affected by the power it unleashed.
He saw that the Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon’s eyes were blood-red, and its jade-green Flood Dragon scales seemed to seep blood, enduring pain that came from its Soul.
“Aung! Aung!”
The Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon roared in agony, as if suffering the pain of having its tendons pulled and skin flayed. Its momentum grew stronger and stronger, continuously soaring and circling wildly in the air, crying out in pain until its voice echoed across the sky.
Seeing this, Li Mu quickly flew even further away, avoiding the surging, violent Dragon Qi released by the Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, an hour passed.
The Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon continuously soared in the air, sometimes rising to the heavens, sometimes diving down, and sometimes spewing Azure Dragon flames towards the ground, frantically venting the pain of its Bloodline transformation. As time passed, its condition improved more and more.
The Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon’s azure-green scales grew a size larger, becoming crystal clear. Long whiskers grew on its back and tail, and the two long horns on its head became even more slender, with many more branches. Their texture became harder, and its overall form became more three-dimensional and exceptionally majestic!
Finally, the Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon successfully digested the medicinal power of the Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass, and its body no longer endured pain. It slowly flew in front of Li Mu.
“Master’s grace of rebirth, Qing Yue has no way to repay! I am willing to serve by your side for the rest of my life!” The Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon looked at Li Mu gratefully, speaking with heartfelt conviction.
“Haha, it’s good to have that thought, you and I don’t need to be so formal!” Li Mu smiled happily, flew to the top of the Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon’s head, and asked with concern: “How is it? After consuming the Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass, what improvements have you made? Can you still not advance to Seven-Tier?”
“Reporting to Master, Qing Yue’s Bloodline has been purified. Once I absorb the knowledge of the Bloodline Legacy, I can advance to a higher Realm!” The Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon reported to Li Mu with irrepressible joy.
“Good! Let’s return to the valley!” Li Mu nodded happily, greatly anticipating the Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon’s advancement.
The Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon nodded readily, taking Li Mu with it, transforming into an azure shadow, and swiftly flying towards Yin Yang Valley.
