I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 742: Chapter 397: Soul Realm Pearl

The two continued to chat happily, and in the conversation, Wan Renlang seemed to casually mention some large-scale trading events recently hosted by the association. His words were filled with pride in the association’s strength, and he didn’t forget to hint at the association’s willingness to actively seek cooperation with top-level Artifact Refiners, hoping to use this opportunity to further collaborate with Li Mu.

Li Mu smiled and agreed without giving a direct response. Whether the Medicine King Ginseng he obtained this time, after being consumed and increasing his spiritual energy, can raise his Artifact Refining Technique and Array Formation Skills to the seventh level remains uncertain.

If it doesn’t work, the Artifact Refining Technique can’t be upgraded, and refining a Tier Seven Dao Artifact is simply out of the question.

Li Mu recalled the scene of the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion being promoted to a Tier Eight Grotto Heaven Treasure, as well as the process of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain undergoing Artifact Tribulation and being promoted to a Tier Seven Dao Artifact. The celestial dao artifact essence they possessed, and the power and mystery they displayed, made it very clear that a Tier Seven Dao Artifact was far beyond what he could currently achieve.

Li Mu responded modestly, then changed the subject and asked with concern, "I wonder if the Grand Steward sought me out this time only to inquire about the path of Artifact Refining, or is there something else?"

"Of course." A hint of disappointment flashed in Wan Renlang’s eyes, but he continued with a smile, indicating, "Master Li, your recent grand venture has made many fellow cultivators envious. They are all inquiring about you, eager to have another face-to-face trade to obtain a Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure they desire from you."

Hearing this, Li Mu smiled knowingly, for isn’t this exactly what he hoped for? With so many Tier Seven Spiritual Objects and rare Tier Six Spiritual Objects at the trade fair, he wanted to gather them all, which is why he showcased a large number of Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures.

"Steward Wan, you didn’t disclose my information to them, did you? If they wish to obtain a Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure, they can commission me for Artifact Refining. The refining commission fee has always been the same: one Tier Seven Spiritual Object or five portions of Tier Six Spiritual Materials."

"Without the master’s consent, I dare not reveal Master Li’s identity," Wan Renlang explained, happily adding, "Master Li, if you have time to accept Artifact Refining commissions, that would be wonderful. I’ll notify them immediately; I’m sure they’ll gladly accept."

As he finished speaking, Wan Renlang was about to get up to arrange this matter, but he was stopped by Li Mu.

"Wait, Steward Wan, there is one more thing," Li Mu pondered for a moment, then indicated, "I plan to visit the Secret Realm soon and won’t be able to refine artifacts for a while. However, I’m quite interested in the Tier Seven Spiritual Objects and Tier Six Spiritual Materials those fellow cultivators have. I wonder if the Grand Steward can let them trade with goods first. I am willing to exchange a batch of Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures for the spiritual materials in their possession. As for the refining commissions, we can proceed after my return. What do you think?"

"All Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures?" Wan Renlang’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Li Mu.

You must know that Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures are extremely precious in the Cultivator Realm, with each one capable of causing a great stir. For Li Mu to still have a batch of Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures to exchange for spiritual objects, it’s truly astounding.

"Master Li, are you sure you want to use Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures to exchange for spiritual materials? What about the exchange rate?" Wan Renlang asked with concern.

"One Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure for two Tier Seven Spiritual Materials or ten portions of Tier Six Spiritual Materials. Steward Wan, how about this price?" Li Mu asked with a smile.

"Uh! This price is double that of the previous trade; I’m afraid those fellow cultivators might have objections!" Wan Renlang furrowed his brows and said hesitantly.

Previously, at the trade fair, Li Mu had only exchanged one Tier Seven Spiritual Object for a Tier Six Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure, and now he’s raising the price further, which made Wan Renlang hesitant.

"Previously, due to the trading fair’s rules, I was too eager and traded low-tier items for those desired spiritual materials. This situation cannot continue. Moreover, the remaining Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures I have are treasured items. Once they see the quality of the treasures, they won’t refuse!" Li Mu smiled slightly, full of confidence.

Hearing this, Wan Renlang couldn’t help but nod, agreeing with Li Mu’s point. When accepting artifact refining commissions, just the reward alone would require receiving one Tier Seven Spiritual Object or five portions of Tier Six Spiritual Materials. Artifact refining not only requires providing Artifact Refining Spiritual Materials but also carries the risk of failure. This offer of an existing Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure is by no means excessive.

Wan Renlang also understood the rarity and value of Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures. If Li Mu truly wished to exchange spiritual materials at such a price, it would undoubtedly be a significant temptation for those cultivators who possess the materials.

"Master Li, I will have my subordinates immediately convey your wishes and see the reaction of those cultivators," Wan Renlang nodded in agreement.

Then, Wan Renlang looked toward Wang Wenbao, instructing him to relay Li Mu’s proposal to those High-Tier Cultivators who possessed the spiritual materials.

As expected, Li Mu’s provision of Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures impressed those High-Tier Cultivators with their quality and power. The majority agreed to this offer and were willing to proceed with the trade.

Subsequently, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion held a temporary private trading meeting, allowing Li Mu to conduct face-to-face trades with those High-Tier Cultivators, exchanging several Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures for a large quantity of Tier Seven and Tier Six Spiritual Materials.

After the trade concluded, Li Mu acquired a substantial amount of high-tier spiritual materials, feeling extremely pleased. The High-Tier Cultivators were also delighted to make the acquaintance of an Artifact Refining Grandmaster.

In this trade, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion gained abundantly, not only receiving ample commission but also successfully securing numerous artifact refining commissions. As the Grand Steward of the association, Wan Renlang was filled with gratitude toward Li Mu. Meanwhile, recognizing Li Mu’s potential to advance further in the field of artifact refining, he valued him even more.
