"This Pill Formula is of extraordinary value to a Void Refining Cultivator. Besides this Extreme Yang Spirit Jade, I'll add three bottles of 'Void Breaking Pills' to exchange for your Pill Formula. How about it?" Yellow Dragon Daoist looked at Li Mu and gestured.
"It is better to obey than to be respectful. Thank you, Senior!" Hearing Yellow Dragon Daoist's suggestion, Li Mu smiled slightly and nodded.
Yellow Dragon Daoist quickly took out two bottles of Void Breaking Pills from his storage ring, and together with the Extreme Yang Spirit Jade and another bottle of Void Breaking Pills, he handed them to Li Mu.
"Thank you, Senior. I believe the Returning Void Pill can be refined in your hands!" Li Mu smiled as he accepted the three bottles of Spirit Pills and the Extreme Yang Spirit Jade, speaking sincerely.
"This Returning Void Pill is indeed good. I just happen to urgently need a Returning Void Pill to assist in condensing my Law Domain. However, several of the main Materials for refining this Returning Void Pill are quite difficult to find. Little Friend, since you were able to obtain this Pill Formula, you must have some understanding of the origins of these main Materials, right?" Yellow Dragon Daoist looked at Li Mu, his eyes shining with anticipation, deeply aware of the preciousness of the Returning Void Pill and even more so of the rarity of its main Alchemy Materials, hence this question.
As soon as he said this, the other Void Refining Cultivators also looked at Li Mu, their gazes filled with anticipation and curiosity. Li Mu's ability to reach the Grandmaster Refiner level in the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation was certainly not ordinary. Therefore, they all held extremely high expectations for Li Mu.
Facing everyone's fervent gazes, Li Mu took a deep breath, a calm smile on his face. He slowly began, "What Senior said is very true. The main Alchemy Materials for this Returning Void Pill are indeed difficult to find. However, since I obtained this Pill Formula, I have been diligently researching and making inquiries from various sources, and I finally have some clues, knowing a little about the possible origins of several main Materials."
The Returning Void Pill is a top-grade Spirit Pill that aids in condensing a Law Domain. Its value to a Void Refining Cultivator is self-evident. The reason Li Mu chose to mention this Pill Formula and expose its value at this Auction was to entice them and obtain the information he wanted.
The several main Materials required to refine the Returning Void Pill are all rare treasures in the world. Among them, the nine void spiritual mushroom is even hailed as the "King of Spirits"; it needs to grow in high-grade spiritual soil like the nine void spiritual soil, making it extremely rare. While the condensing soul essence fruit is not as rare as the nine void spiritual mushroom, it also needs to mature in specific environments.
During his last exploration of the Cang Yuan Secret Realm, Li Mu happened to obtain quite a few condensing soul essence fruits. As for the nine void spiritual mushroom, it needs to grow in high-grade spiritual soil like the nine void spiritual soil, and there is a very high probability that it will appear in the Secret Realm of Lingxu Blessed Island.
Li Mu's intention in throwing out the Pill Formula for the Returning Void Pill was to use it to gather information about Lingxu Blessed Land from them. This plan now seemed to be working.
Listening to Li Mu's introduction, the Void Refining Cultivators all perked up, waiting for what he would say next.
Yellow Dragon Daoist was even more eager, looking at Li Mu and hastily pressing, "Little Friend, do you know their exact whereabouts? Please tell us quickly."
Seeing that everyone had clearly taken the bait, Li Mu smiled slightly and continued to introduce in more detail: "First, the most difficult main medicinal Material to obtain for this Returning Void Pill is the 'nine void spiritual mushroom.' Perhaps some of you do not know, the nine void spiritual mushroom is not an ordinary Spirit Medicine; it needs to grow in a type of soil called nine void spiritual soil to be nurtured. However, nine void spiritual soil is a high-grade soil with extremely high spirituality, and its Earth Origin Qi is extremely rich, making it very suitable for the growth of various high-grade Spirit Medicines. Among them, the nine void spiritual mushroom and the medicine king spirit ginseng are prominent examples, and the soil itself is an indispensable main Material for refining Cave Heaven Magic Treasures. However, nine void spiritual soil is extremely rare and usually can only be nurtured in top-grade Spiritual Veins where Earth Origin spiritual power gathers."
Listening to Li Mu's narration, the Void Refining Cultivators all showed expressions of sudden realization and began to ponder.
After a pause, Li Mu glanced at the Void Refining Cultivators, thoughtfully, then continued to introduce: "As far as I know, there is a Secret Realm called: Lingxu Blessed Island, which is very likely to contain nine void spiritual soil. Unfortunately, Li has searched in many ways but has not been able to find the entrance to this Secret Realm."
"Lingxu Blessed Island!"
Listening to Li Mu mentioning the "Lingxu Blessed Island" Secret Realm, the Void Refining Cultivators' eyes flickered with a strange light, and some Cultivators even murmured to themselves.
"Little Friend Li, are you sure there is nine void spiritual soil on Lingxu Blessed Island?" A Void Refining Cultivator couldn't help but interject, his eyes flashing with excitement.
"There's a very high probability!" Li Mu nodded affirmatively. "Although I haven't been there myself, ancient records and various sources of information all point to this. There is a high possibility that nine void spiritual soil exists on Lingxu Blessed Island. This Lingxu Blessed Island seems to appear in the East Illusion Sea Region, but it is said to appear only once every few centuries, and its location is erratic and difficult to find.
"Seniors, you have lived in the East Illusion Sea Region for many years, do you know the whereabouts of this island?" Li Mu's gaze swept across the faces of the Void Refining Cultivators, asking with concern.
The Void Refining Cultivators looked at each other, their gazes all turning to Yellow Dragon Daoist, not revealing this information.
A moment later, a black-robed elder with white hair and beard slowly spoke: "Little Friend Li, although I have lived in the East Illusion Sea Region for many years, I have only heard the name of Lingxu Blessed Island, but have never seen its form. This island appears irregularly and is difficult to track, making it truly not something that can be easily found."
"Let's not mention this for now, Little Friend Li, continue to tell us about the clues for the other main Materials." Yellow Dragon Daoist cleared his throat, breaking the awkward atmosphere and changing the subject.
The Void Refining Cultivators paused slightly, then continued to remain silent.
Seeing this scene, Li Mu felt a slight joy in his heart and immediately had some guesses. It seemed that the clue for Lingxu Blessed Island was within reach.
However, these old fellows were very tight-lipped and wouldn't act without seeing concrete benefits. Li Mu pondered for a moment and decided to offer another heavy inducement.
Li Mu looked at Yellow Dragon Daoist, nodded, and continued to introduce: "Alright, Senior Huang, the 'purple gold spirit flower' required for refining the Returning Void Pill. This medicine generally grows with fire and needs to grow in places with rich purple Spiritual Qi. It can be used when it reaches five hundred years of age. According to the characteristics of this medicine, it is not difficult to find."
"Another main Material: Spirit Transformation Essence, is an extremely rare heavenly spiritual item, often hidden deep within underground Spiritual Veins, taking thousands of years to form. Spirit Transformation Essence appears milky white, is warm and smooth to the touch like jade, yet can instantly turn into nothingness. Without special sensory methods, it is extremely difficult to discover its traces. However, this medicine is not as difficult to find as the nine void spiritual mushroom; it was seen at the last Wanbao Pavilion Auction." Li Mu looked at the Void Refining Cultivators and said with a smile.
After listening to Li Mu's introduction, the Void Refining Cultivators nodded frequently, and at once, they felt some expectation for the matter of refining the Returning Void Pill.
"Thank you, Little Friend, for providing these clues. As for the other main Material of the Returning Void Pill—the condensing soul essence fruit, does Little Friend Li know its origin?" Yellow Dragon Daoist looked at Li Mu, his eyes shining with anticipation, and asked with concern.
Hearing this, Li Mu smiled slightly, nodded gently, and said with a smile: "Senior Huang, the condensing soul essence fruit you mentioned is indeed incomparably precious. However, a few years ago, when I was refining a Spirit Treasure for a Senior, I fortunately had some gains."
As he spoke, Li Mu slowly stretched out his hand and took out an exquisite jade box from his nine storage spiritual pearl. Delicate patterns were carved on the jade box, shimmering with a faint light, as if containing some mysterious power.
Li Mu gently opened the jade box, and a fresh fruity fragrance instantly permeated the air, making one feel refreshed and joyful.
Inside the jade box, a crystal-clear condensing soul essence fruit lay quietly, like a dazzling golden pearl, emitting a faint golden luster, containing infinite Primordial Spirit power. Just a glance was enough to feel the divine essence aura emanating from within.
Seeing this, the Void Refining Cultivators all showed expressions of pleasant surprise, not expecting Li Mu to actually possess a condensing soul essence fruit, and judging by its quality, it was clearly a top-grade choice.
"This fruit is the condensing soul essence fruit." Li Mu gently picked up the condensing soul essence fruit from the jade box and showed it to everyone: "I have a total of three condensing soul essence fruits, and I am willing to use all of them to participate in the joint refining of the Returning Void Pill."
After speaking, Li Mu took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding Void Refining Cultivators, finally landing on Yellow Dragon Daoist, and earnestly said: "Senior Huang, you are a Great Grandmaster in the Void Refining world, with superb skills. If all the Spirit Medicines for the Returning Void Pill can be gathered, I believe you will definitely be able to refine the Returning Void Pill. My request is not much; I only hope to obtain one Returning Void Pill to aid me on my path of Cultivation."
Yellow Dragon Daoist's eyes gleamed as he carefully sized up Li Mu, seemingly wanting to see through his inner thoughts and the purpose of his actions.
Yellow Dragon Daoist thought for a moment. Li Mu's Cultivation was merely in the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation, and he couldn't cause much trouble in front of their group of Void Refining Cultivators. He immediately stopped thinking further.
A moment later, Yellow Dragon Daoist laughed heartily, his voice loud, praising Li Mu: "Little Friend Li, you truly are full of hidden depths! To possess three such precious condensing soul essence fruits is truly surprising. If the other main Materials can be gathered, refining the Returning Void Pill will naturally be no problem, and this old man is also willing to personally attempt to refine this Pill."
Li Mu smiled slightly, first putting away the jade box, then turning to Yellow Dragon Daoist and the Void Refining Cultivators, he respectfully indicated: "Senior Huang overpraises me. I merely obtained these three condensing soul essence fruits by chance. One of the Spirit Medicines required for refining the Returning Void Pill has now been gathered; the other main Materials will need to be entrusted to all of you Seniors."
The Void Refining Cultivators nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Their gazes all turned to Yellow Dragon Daoist, expecting him to preside over this important matter of jointly refining the Spirit Pill.
Yellow Dragon Daoist's gaze swept over each of the Void Refining Cultivators, then he smiled and nodded: "Since Little Friend Li can provide three condensing soul essence fruits, then the joint refining of the Returning Void Pill is settled. Little Friend Li will contribute three condensing soul essence fruits and will receive one Returning Void Pill. As for the remaining Returning Void Pills, whoever can find the other main Materials can participate in this joint refining. At that time, the refined Returning Void Pills will be distributed according to the quantity and quality of the Spirit Medicines provided by each person."
The Void Refining Cultivators all expressed their agreement upon hearing this. Yellow Dragon Daoist's proposal was fair and reasonable. For a time, the atmosphere of the entire venue became tense, and the Cultivators secretly rubbed their fists, preparing to go all out in the coming time to find the main Materials for participation in the joint refining.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, regarding the four main Materials required for refining the Returning Void Pill, the nine void spiritual mushroom is undoubtedly the most precious and difficult to find. Since the Lingxu Blessed Island Secret Realm may contain this item, why don't we first focus on discussing the exploration of the island, and then talk about the transaction?" An Azure-Clad Sword Cultivator frowned tightly, looking at Yellow Dragon Daoist with an urgent expression in his eyes, and gestured.
Upon hearing this, Li Mu's spirits lifted, his gaze fixed intently on Yellow Dragon Daoist, and he eagerly asked: "Senior Huang, do you know the exact whereabouts of Lingxu Blessed Land? If I can learn the whereabouts of this island and find that nine void spiritual mushroom, then there will be hope for refining the Returning Void Pill!"
Yellow Dragon Daoist gave Li Mu a meaningful glance, his eyes shining with wisdom. At this moment, he probably also understood Li Mu's deeper meaning in bringing out the Returning Void Pill and introducing the Lingxu spiritual mushroom. But so what!
Li Mu, with his Cultivation in the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation, probably also aimed to gather the main Materials for refining the Returning Void Pill, and had no choice but to bring out the Pill Formula for the Returning Void Pill for trade, and even provide three condensing soul essence fruits.
Having understood these matters, Yellow Dragon Daoist immediately relaxed. He smiled slightly at Li Mu, nodded gently, and praised: "Little Friend Li, you are indeed intelligent! To possess three such precious condensing soul essence fruits is truly surprising. If the other main Materials can be gathered, refining the Returning Void Pill will naturally be no problem. This old man is also willing to personally attempt to refine this Pill."
Li Mu smiled slightly, first putting away the jade box, then turning to Yellow Dragon Daoist and the Void Refining Cultivators, he respectfully indicated: "Senior Huang overpraises me. I merely obtained these three condensing soul essence fruits by chance. One of the Spirit Medicines required for refining the Returning Void Pill has now been gathered; the other main Materials will need to be entrusted to all of you Seniors."

Having understood these matters, Yellow Dragon Daoist immediately relaxed. He smiled slightly at Li Mu, nodded gently, and praised: "Little Friend Li, you are indeed intelligent! Regarding Lingxu Blessed Island, I do know about it. Originally, after this Auction, we were planning to discuss the matter of ascending Lingxu Blessed Island. If you are interested, you can naturally join us."
Li Mu felt joy in his heart and quickly cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Senior, for your guidance! The whereabouts of this island are difficult to find. If I can receive Senior's guidance, I will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort. I am willing to join the island exploration team and go to Lingxu Blessed Island together."
"Don't be too happy yet. On Lingxu Blessed Island, the power of the Restriction is extraordinary, and even our Cultivation will face the threat of falling upon landing on this island. With your Cultivation, landing on this island also carries no small risk. You need to consider carefully whether you truly want to go with us." Yellow Dragon Daoist looked at Li Mu with a solemn expression, emphasizing.
Hearing this, a hint of determination flashed in Li Mu's eyes: "Senior, I have already made up my mind. I am willing to go with Senior. Regardless of the outcome, it will be a valuable experience on the path of Cultivation. Life and death are fated!"
Seeing Li Mu's resolve, Yellow Dragon Daoist said no more, only nodded slightly, and continued to introduce: "Lingxu Blessed Island is a Secret Realm independent of the mainland. It does not always float on the sea surface. Only when specific star alignments form the 'Lingxu Star Array' will Lingxu Blessed Island appear in the corresponding sea region. This 'Lingxu Star Array' is a natural law of heaven and earth, requiring profound knowledge of astrology and astronomy to accurately predict its appearance time. At the same time, we also need to combine the geographical features of the sea region to find the exact location of Lingxu Blessed Island."
Saying this, Yellow Dragon Daoist looked at a white-robed Cultivator and asked with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Jingwen, you are most skilled in divination. Please tell everyone how long it will be until Lingxu Blessed Island appears?"
The white-robed Cultivator Jingwen smiled slightly and introduced to everyone: "Everyone, according to my recent observations and calculations, the Lingxu Star Array will reach its most perfect alignment at midnight seven days from now. Lingxu Blessed Island will appear five hundred Li beyond the sea region southeast of East Cloud Island. At that time, we can begin our island exploration journey."
The Cultivators all showed joyful expressions upon hearing this, and Li Mu also felt a surge of excitement. His plan had finally succeeded; he had successfully obtained information about Lingxu Blessed Island.
"There are still seven days until Lingxu Blessed Island reveals its traces. There's still plenty of time, so let's continue with the transactions! After this Auction ends, everyone can prepare, and then we'll ascend the island to seek treasures." Yellow Dragon Daoist smiled slightly, looking at everyone and gesturing.
As Yellow Dragon Daoist's words fell, the Auction site once again returned to an atmosphere of treasure appraisal. The next Void Refining Cultivator took out three spiritual items to display for trade. (End of Chapter)
