Li Mu rode his sword and landed on the sunny side of Yin Yang Valley, surveying the fifteen mu of spiritual fields planted with Purple Yang Spiritual Mushrooms.
Tiny purple spiritual mushroom seedlings were just peeking out from the soil.
Fifteen purple yang jades were evenly scattered in the center of each mu of spiritual field, emitting wisps of purple spiritual essence.
Li Mu's gaze fell upon the young Purple Yang Spiritual Mushroom seedlings, and his Heavenly Talent - Identifying Myriad Spirits activated.
A virtual frame immediately displayed all the information about the Purple Yang Spiritual Mushroom seedlings.
【Purple Yang Spiritual Mushroom (Seedling Stage)】
【Grade: Fourth Order Spiritual Plant】
【Characteristics: Grows towards the sun, purple Qi comes from the east, contains Yang and removes dust.】
【Status: Strong Yang Qi, accompanied by purple yang jade spiritual essence, rapid growth】
【Purple Yang Spiritual Mushroom seedling, a Fourth Order Spiritual Plant, naturally prefers Yang and grows towards the sun.
Growth requirements: A place where the Yang Qi of heaven and earth gathers, abundant spiritual power, accompanied by the Qi of Purple Yang Spiritual Jade.
It matures in eighteen years, flowers in one year, bears fruit in one year.
A Purple Yang Spiritual Mushroom with a twenty-year medicinal age is one of the main Materials for refining purple yang pill.
A Purple Yang Spiritual Mushroom with a fifty-year medicinal age is one of the main Materials for refining Creation Pill.】
Looking at the information in the virtual frame, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, as he didn't find any dead seedlings, and their condition was good.
The spiritual light cluster of a First-Order Wind Spirit Grass had a very limited improvement value for the Foundation Establishment Stage, so by the same logic, if these fifteen mu of Fourth-Order Purple Yang Spiritual Mushrooms were successfully planted, the Yang Qi attribute they could provide him would likely allow him to directly Breakthrough the Foundation Establishment Stage and advance to the Golden Core Realm.
Twenty years! This time wasn't long at all.
With the help of the Yin Yang Mixed Yuan Formation, the maturation time of the Purple Yang Spiritual Mushroom could potentially be significantly advanced!
The only problem was that the reserve of purple yang jade was a bit insufficient!
Li Mu had exchanged most of the contributions he recently gained from Artifact Refining for purple yang jade and Tai Xuan Moon Dew, as reserves for the two Spiritual Plants.
He barely exchanged for over five hundred pieces of purple yang jade and over seven thousand drops of Tai Xuan Moon Dew before Qingxuan Sect's contribution warehouse ran out of stock!
This caused several True Disciples to complain endlessly.
No! To be safe, he had to find other channels.
After checking the growth status of the Purple Yang Spiritual Mushroom, Li Mu flew to the back of Yang Peak - Yin Yang Valley.
【Yin Soul Fruit (Seedling Stage)】
【Grade: Fourth Order Spiritual Plant】
【Characteristics: Grows towards Yin, condenses Yin to form a soul, transforms Yin into a soul.】
【Status: Yin Qi gathered, accompanied by Tai Xuan Moon Dew, rapid growth】
【Yin Soul Fruit seedling, a Fourth Order Spiritual Plant, naturally prefers Yin and grows by gathering Yin Qi.
Growth requirements: A place where the Yin Qi of heaven and earth gathers, abundant spiritual power, accompanied by the Qi of Tai Xuan Moon Dew.
It matures in sixteen years, flowers in two years, and bears fruit in two years.
A Yin Soul Fruit with a twenty-year medicinal age is one of the main Materials for refining huantian pill.
A Yin Soul Fruit that has not borne fruit after a hundred years can advance to Tai Yin Grass, which is one of the main Materials for refining Infant Transformation Pill.】
Li Mu inspected each of the fifteen mu of Yin Soul Fruit seedlings, confirming that there were no problems.
After checking the concentration of spiritual essence from the Tai Xuan Moon Dew permeating the valley, Li Mu finally left with peace of mind on his sword.
He had to ensure that both Fourth Order Spiritual Plants remained in good condition for twenty years!
Farming isn't that easy!
Li Mu landed his sword in the courtyard, looked at Crimson Wolf, and instructed, "I'm going out for a bit.
You stay home and be good, don't cause trouble!
I'll bring you something delicious when I get back!"
"Awoo!" Crimson Wolf barked at Li Mu, indicating that it wanted to go along.
"Little Gold, watch him.
If he dares to cause trouble, beat him to death!" Li Mu chuckled and looked at Little Gold, who was about the same height as Crimson Wolf, with stout limbs and was obedient, gesturing.
"Oh oh!" Little Gold smiled and agreed, reaching out to pull Crimson Wolf into his arms.
"Awoo, wuwu!" Crimson Wolf tried to bite Little Gold's hand, but was slapped on the head, immediately becoming docile.
Seeing Little Gold easily suppress Crimson Wolf, Li Mu smiled slightly, secretly delighted.
Little Gold's Aptitude was indeed extraordinary.
Under a large amount of Gold Vein Pill feeding, it grew rapidly, and in less than three months, its Yao Beast power had reached the Peak of a Second-Order Yao Beast, with a tendency to continue improving and advancing.
However, to Breakthrough to the Third Order, it would probably need to experience some battles!
Li Mu frowned.
For the next twenty years, if he didn't Breakthrough to the Golden Core Cultivation, he wouldn't leave Yue Qiong Peak, nor would he easily leave Qingxuan Sect Headquarters.
This meant Little Gold could only stay with him on Yue Qiong Peak, missing the best period for learning combat.
If he missed these twenty years, it would be much harder for Little Gold to advance and Breakthrough in the future!
If it really didn't work out, then just keep raising it like this!
If it became useless, then it became useless!
He took Little Gold in back then also for the spiritual wine recipe on its beast hide.
Thinking of the Third-Order spiritual wine recipe that Little Gold had unsealed, Li Mu couldn't help but get a headache.
He had been busy with Artifact Refining, setting up formations for the spiritual fields, and farming recently.
Even Talisman making and Puppet refining were done in his spare time.
He was busy every day and simply had no time to gather Materials and brew High Grade and complex spiritual wines like the Hundred Fruit Spiritual Wine.
Besides, Li Mu had refined a batch of cuiling wine, and he hadn't even finished drinking it yet!
Hmm!
That Hundred Fruit Spiritual Wine seemed to require the cooperation of an Ape to refine.
He would gather a hundred kinds of spiritual fruit Materials another day and let Little Gold try brewing it himself.
...
Looking at Little Gold playing with Crimson Wolf, several thoughts flashed through Li Mu's mind, and then he rode his sword, flew out of Yue Qiong Peak, and headed towards Hundred Refinements Peak.
Hundred Refinements Peak, Hundred Refinements Pagoda.
"Disciple greets Elder Li!" Chen Zhuo cupped his hands in salute to Li Mu, and at the same time reported, "Elder Li, you're looking for my master, right?
It's really unfortunate, he went to Wangyun Peak!"
"Uh! Then it's fine, I'll come back another day!" Li Mu nodded and turned to leave.
Suddenly hearing the name Wangyun Peak, Li Mu's heart skipped a beat and began to pound.
The three words 'Wangyun Peak' touched upon something Li Mu had always been wary of.
Back when he exchanged for the Yin Yang Five Elements Scripture, that 'Senior Sister Lu' who specifically appeared was a Disciple of Wangyun Peak.
True Monarch Qingwen of Wangyun Peak should still be thinking about the Outer Sect Disciple who Cultivated the Yin Yang Five Elements Scripture!
If that Nascent Soul True Lord from Wangyun Peak knew that he had already Cultivated the Yin Yang Five Elements Scripture to Foundation Establishment, and would soon have the opportunity to forge a Golden Core, what a scene that would be!
Li Mu was preoccupied with worries and quickly turned to leave Hundred Refinements Peak, fearing he might encounter True Monarch Qingwen!
"Elder Li, hey, I haven't even said... Sigh! Strange, what's wrong with Elder Li?"
Chen Zhuo watched Li Mu's hurried departure, unable to stop him, and muttered with a puzzled expression.
After leaving Hundred Refinements Peak, Li Mu changed course and went to Tai Xuan Peak, where he exchanged for two sets of 90 mu of Second-Order Linglong Spiritual Grass and Second-Order Heavenly Wind Grass spiritual seeds at the Contribution Hall.
Then, he piloted the Light Cloud Spirit Boat towards Qingyun City.
Qingyun City is the closest Cultivator city to Qingxuan Sect Headquarters.
The city's population mainly consists of Cultivators.
Various organizations within Qingyun City, Golden Core Families, external trade associations, various inns, etc., are either external Families of Sect Elders or affiliated with the Sect, and more or less have some connection with Qingxuan Sect.
Li Mu landed his spiritual boat at the spiritual boat platform outside Qingyun City.
After putting away his spiritual boat, he paid a lower spirit stones to the guards at the entrance to enter the city.
At this time, Li Mu had changed into a black robe, put away his Qingxuan Sect Disciple token, and his exquisite mask had changed to the face of 'Zhang Laotou', transforming into the appearance of an old Foundation Establishment Cultivator to enter Qingyun City.
Soon after entering Qingyun City, Li Mu's gaze locked onto the tallest and most luxuriously decorated building in the city, and he walked straight towards it.
"Senior, welcome to Wanbao Pavilion!"
Four female Cultivators, dressed in light, cool clothing with slender and graceful figures, bowed gracefully at the entrance and greeted him in unison.
Li Mu walked in without looking sideways.
"Senior, welcome to Wanbao Pavilion.
What spiritual items do you need?
This junior - Huang Caiyun, is willing to introduce them to you." A female Cultivator in a light yellow gauze dress greeted Li Mu warmly.
"Hmm, this old man has a batch of Second-Order Spirit Talismans to sell." Li Mu nodded slightly, getting straight to the point.
During these three months, besides farming and Artifact Refining, Li Mu had not neglected Talisman making and Puppet refining.
Using the contribution points earned from Artifact Refining, he successfully exchanged for the Third-Order Talismans of the Qingxuan Talisman Compendium.
After learning several Third-Order Talismans from the Qingxuan Talisman Compendium, and exchanging for a batch of Third-Order Yao Beast hides at the Contribution Hall, Li Mu had already begun to draw and store Third-Order Spirit Talismans.
As for the large batch of Second-Order Golden Sword Talismans and Second-Order Golden Armor Talismans drawn on Golden Ape's Second-Order Talisman hides, there was no need to keep them.
The longer a Talisman is stored, the more spiritual power dissipates, and its power gradually weakens.
In addition, a large number of formations had recently been set up on Yue Qiong Peak, consuming too many Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, and there hadn't been a large influx of Spirit Stones for a long time.
Li Mu urgently needed to sell the refined Talismans to recoup some funds.
"Alright, Senior, please follow me.
I'll have the Spirit Appraiser help you estimate the price." Huang Caiyun nodded and made an inviting gesture.
Li Mu quickly followed.
Soon, the two arrived in a secret room, and Li Mu presented the Talismans he wanted to sell to the Spirit Appraiser.
"Second-Order High Grade Golden Sword Talisman, 30 medium spirit stones each.
Second-Order High Grade Golden Armor Talisman, 35 medium spirit stones each.
If they are Second-Order Top Grade, add 10 medium spirit stones to this base price, Senior, what do you think?" The Spirit Appraiser carefully examined the two Talismans, then looked at Li Mu and quoted the price.
"Hmm! This price is fine.
Does your Wanbao Pavilion buy as much as I have?" Li Mu smiled slightly, looking at the Spirit Appraiser and asking.
"Exactly!" The Spirit Appraiser smiled and nodded, full of confidence.
The quality of this batch of Talismans was good.
They were made from Second-Order High Grade Golden Ape Talisman hides, and the Talisman Maker's skill was exquisite.
Each Talisman was a high-quality product.
If they bought them at this price and resold them, they would definitely not lose money.
Soon, the confident smile on the Spirit Appraiser's face immediately froze, replaced by a look of surprise.
He saw that the 'old Talisman Cultivator' in front of him was taking out stacks of Talismans from his storage bracelet as if they were worthless, instantly producing hundreds, even thousands of stacks of Second-Order Gold-element Talismans.
Could it be that this type of Talisman could already be mass-produced?
A hint of panic flashed across the Spirit Appraiser's face.
"Second-Order High Grade Golden Sword Talisman: 520 pieces.
Second-Order High Grade Golden Armor Talisman: 480 pieces.
Second-Order Top Grade Golden Sword Talisman: 1240 pieces.
Second-Order Top Grade Golden Armor Talisman: 870 pieces.
Please count the numbers!" Li Mu left a small portion of Top Grade Golden Sword Talismans and Golden Armor Talismans, selling off most of the Second-Order Spirit Talismans at once.
"Good, good!
However, this business is too big.
I can't make the decision, I need to ask the shopkeeper.
Senior, please wait a moment." Huang Caiyun looked at Li Mu with a mix of surprise and joy, respectfully gesturing.
Having 'cooperated' with Wanbao Pavilion for a long time, Li Mu trusted them.
He smiled and nodded, waiting patiently.
Soon, Huang Caiyun returned, leading a red-clothed woman about her age.
