I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 470 - 270: Time Fortune Spirit Turtle 2

"Chirp chirp!"

Upon hearing that Li Mu was going to refine a treasure again, the Purple Gold Little Fire Phoenix immediately became excited and chirped at him.

"I know! Here you go!" Seeing the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire urging him for a reward, Li Mu quickly took out a piece of Tier Six Fire Spiritual Material from his Storage Bracelet and tossed it to it.

The Tier Six - Flame Sun Core Crystal, a Spiritual Material that would drive Nascent Soul Cultivators to madness and cause Divinity Transformation Cultivators to bleed profoundly, was swallowed in one gulp by the Purple Gold Fire Phoenix. In less than a moment, it spat out some ashes in disdain.

"You’ve eaten it, now hurry up and get to work. This treasure refinement is very important to me, no slacking!" Li Mu’s eye twitched as he warned the Purple Gold Fire Phoenix.

"Chirp chirp!"

The Purple Gold Fire Phoenix responded with a chirp and, with a "bang," its figure transformed into a mass of purple-golden flames, condensing into a Purple Fire Refining Furnace in accordance with Li Mu’s techniques, suspended before him.

Li Mu took a deep breath and retrieved a Tier Five Source Divine Pill from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, fully operating the Yin Yang Five Elements Scripture to refine the medicinal power and restore his status to its peak.

With a wave of his hand, eight mysterious Spiritual Materials, either exuding mystical essence or appearing as ordinary as mortal objects, emerged around him.

A dim ’Round Earth Bead,’ a ’fruit core’ devoid of spirituality, an off-white turtle shell, a pitch-black broken wood, a primitive black vine, ...

These were, respectively, a Tier Seven Star Beast Relic Pearl, a Tier Seven Age Star Fruit Core, a Tier Six Spirit Rhythm Profound Turtle Shell, a Tier Six Withered and Flourishing Wood, a Tier Six Ten Thousand Year-old Black Core Vine, ..., all containing immense Power of Time and Power of Cause and Effect.

After raising his Artifact Refining Technique to level 6, Li Mu gained substantial knowledge of Spirit Treasure Patterns and experience in refining Tier Six Spirit Treasures. Thanks to his Full Level Technique - Yin Yang Five Elements Scripture, he had a profound understanding of the Five Elements and Yin Yang Dao Principles. He could increase the success rate of refining corresponding attribute Spirit Treasures to sixty percent.

However, the Power of Cause and Effect and Power of Time were such special attributes, and the Dao Principles of the Artifact Patterns were so profound that Li Mu estimated the success rate of this treasure refinement to be about thirty percent.

To this end, Li Mu spared no expense in using two Tier Seven Spiritual Objects to establish the foundation of the Spirit Treasure and increase the success rate of the treasure refinement.

Divine Thoughts surged in Li Mu’s mind as he instantly calculated the artifact refining steps thousands of times.

After confirming that everything was correct, Li Mu took a deep breath, pinched his Dual Surgery Technique, and cast the Spirit Rhythm Profound Turtle Shell into the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace for calcination.

Under Li Mu’s control, the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace emitted gentle fire temperatures that softened the Spirit Rhythm Profound Turtle Shell and activated the bagua turtle pattern on its back.

Seeing this, Li Mu hurriedly controlled the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire to maintain this temperature, fearing it would destroy the innate spirituality of the Spirit Rhythm Profound Turtle Shell and the Power of Cause and Effect.

Artifact refining requires immense Heart Power, Spiritual Power, and Divine Thought, especially when crafting Tier Six Spirit Treasures. The inherent spirituality of each Spiritual Material makes perfectly fusing them an extremely difficult task.

Tier Six Spiritual Materials contain not only spirituality but also the powerful Dao Principles inherent in the materials, sometimes even involving the Spirit Realm. Refining them into one without damaging their spirituality or Dao Principles, condensing a unified Artifact Array, constructing the Artifact Pattern, and nurturing the Artifact Spirit, requires an extraordinarily terrifying amount of Divine Thought and Heart Power.

Li Mu devoted himself to numerous tasks, maintaining the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace, controlling the fire temperature, sustaining the Spirit Rhythm Profound Turtle Shell’s pattern, and introducing other Spiritual Materials, arousing the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire, using different fire strengths to refine them, and attempting the fusion of various Spiritual Materials.

Powerful Artifact Might and mysterious Dao Essence emanated wave after wave from the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace.

In front of the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace, Li Mu’s hands, pinching the artifact refining techniques, moved so quickly they became invisible. Wave after wave of Spiritual Power surged, rushing into the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace, erupting with even greater Spiritual Might.

...

Four-sided House.

Xue’Er stopped cultivating and came out of the Cultivation Room, looking at the Artifact Refining Room in horror as continuous mysterious and powerful waves surged forth.

One could see the leaves flying around the Artifact Refining Room being suddenly frozen or rapidly accelerating, as the entire Artifact Refining Room was enveloped by a mysterious force, presenting an extremely unstable spatial phenomenon.

"What happened?"

"Oh my god! What kind of Spirit Treasure is Lord Li refining? How can such anomalies occur?"

"Lord Li, you mustn’t have any mishaps!"

...

Xue’Er, looking at the dangerous anomalies surrounding the Artifact Refining Room, turned pale with fright and couldn’t help but whisper worriedly, scared by the scene before her.

Before, when Li Mu successfully refined artifacts, there would be some unusual fluctuations in spiritual power near the Artifact Refining Room. However, this time the phenomenon was so bizarre, and the duration was unusually long.

One day, two hours, three days, ...

Xue’Er stood at the edge of the Artifact Refining Room, staring for seven continuous days. The strange phenomenon continued, as if the entire area’s time was frozen, yet also accelerated, ever-changing.

A muffled "boom" echoed.

A terrifying high temperature emanated from the Artifact Refining Room. The next moment, the door burst open, and Li Mu emerged pale-faced and disheveled, running out in distress.

Out of nowhere, a Chi Lian Fire Phoenix materialized, summoned a fire tripod, and absorbed the unstable purple flame, drawing in the intense heat from Li Mu.

"Lord Li, y-you’re alright?" Xue’Er hurried forward to support the disheveled Li Mu.

"Haha, I’m fine, I’m fine! That guy got angry, but thankfully Little Feng acted in time." Li Mu laughed heartily, gesturing dismissively.

This time, the artifact refining took too long and consumed too much. For the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire of two Tier Seven Spiritual Materials, he had no choice but to deplete his vital Fire Element. Of course, Li Mu begrudgingly signed some unequal contracts to ensure the successful completion of the artifact refining.

However, the perfect conclusion of this treasure refining made it all worthwhile.

Li Mu stood up, quickly pulled out two pill bottles, poured out two Spirit Pills, and swallowed them. Then, he raised his right hand and produced a palm-sized Spirit Turtle.

The Spirit Turtle had an extraordinary appearance, with a milky-white shell shining with mysterious Spirit Patterns, its limbs and head in jet black, with one blue and one purple eye that seemed to steal the soul, irresistibly drawing attention.

"What a beautiful little turtle! Lord Li, is this a new Spirit Treasure you refined? What’s its name?" Xue’Er’s eyes lit up, looking at the tortoise-shaped Artifact Spirit in Li Mu’s hand in surprise.

"It? It’s called the Time Fortune Spirit Turtle." Li Mu beamed, happily introducing the turtle-shaped Artifact Spirit in his hand.

Under the Innate Divine Power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, all the attributes and functions of the ’Time Fortune Spirit Turtle’ appeared on the character panel.

[Time Fortune Spirit Turtle]

[Grade: Tier Six Spirit Treasure]

[Attributes: River of Time, Divination and Fortune-Telling, Time Instant Reverse, Devouring Years, Causality Force, Blinding Cause and Effect.]

[Status: Artifact Spirit Rebirth, Abundant Time Energy.]

[This Tier Six Spirit Treasure is refined from a Tier Seven Star Beast Pearl, Tier Seven Age Star Fruit Core, Tier Six Spiritual Rhythm Profound Turtle Shell, Tier Six Life and Death Wood, Tier Six Ten Thousand Year-old Black Core Vine, ..., various Time and Cause and Effect Spiritual Materials. It consumes the Power of Time. With this artifact, one can peer into the River of Time, calculate cause and effect, and evade innumerable calamities. However, artifacts of Time and Cause and Effect principles require paying corresponding prices for excessive usage. Use cautiously.]

"Time Fortune Spirit Turtle? What does this Spirit Treasure do? It’s so magical!" Xue’Er couldn’t help but recall the previous anomaly around the Artifact Refining Room and quickly asked.

"For divination, let me try it out," Li Mu responded, his heart stirred.

With that, Li Mu gazed at the Time Fortune Spirit Turtle, channeling spiritual power into it with his hands.

The next second, the Spirit Turtle’s creamy-white spirit light suddenly flared up, transmitting a mysterious and magical spiritual wave, its blue and purple eyes radiating spirit light.

Li Mu’s vision shifted, the surrounding environment rapidly changing. Numerous unfamiliar scenes imprinted in his sea of consciousness: meeting with Lin Baoqing, delivering the Spirit Treasure, journeying with Venerable Qingwei and Venerable Xuanling, seeking Purple Melody Celestial Fire, falling into a Nine Demons Sect ambush, a ten-day battle with all means exhausted, hiding in the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion upon discovery, being pursued, captured alive, ...

"Wow!" Li Mu spewed blood, suffering a backlash from the Spirit Treasure, severing the vision of the River of Time.

"Lord Li, what happened to you?"

Xue’Er was startled, hurriedly supporting Li Mu’s body, anxiously asking.

"I’m alright, I’m alright!" Li Mu waved his hand, only feeling physically weak, his spiritual power depleted, and his divine thought exhausted, though not fundamentally hurt.

The cost of peeping at the River of Time is truly immense! Thankfully, the Time Fortune Spirit Turtle bore the brunt of the cost.

The Artifact Spirit - Time Fortune Spirit Turtle appeared listless, looking at Li Mu with a sorrowful gaze. Clearly, it bore most of the cost when entering the vision of the River of Time and would require a long time to recover.

The Time Fortune Spirit Turtle showed signs of spiritual injuries and a warning of a lack of Power of Time. In the short term, this Spirit Treasure can’t be used again.

However, it was all worth it. Li Mu stored away the ’Space-Time Spirit Turtle,’ a trace of seriousness appearing on his face.
