Chapter 471 - 271: Tier Six Spirit Grass
Li Mu fell into deep thought, carefully recalling the future vision spied by the Time Fortune Spirit Turtle.
The Nine Demons Sect used the Purple Melody Celestial Fire as bait and then ambushed, the whole process lasted more than ten days.
There is an issue within all of this.
The ambush site was thousands of miles away from the Yin Yang Valley, situated at a distance neither too close nor too far from the Desolate Ancient City! More than ten days is definitely enough time for the cultivators of the Desolate Ancient City to hear the news and come to aid.
What stopped those cultivators from rushing to the aid?
Speculating like this, the real objective of the Nine Demons Sect is not just an ambush, perhaps they also have intentions of devouring the entire South Wilderness Spirit Realm. Perhaps there were two battlefronts happening simultaneously, preventing the Desolate Ancient City from sending support?
"What exactly has given the Nine Demons Sect such a large appetite?" Given the current strength and foundation of the Nine Demons Sect, swallowing the South Wilderness Spirit Realm is no different than a snake trying to swallow an elephant, isn’t it?
Suddenly, a revelation flashed before Li Mu’s eyes.
When he and Venerable Qingwei, along with Venerable Xuanling were trapped, it seemed that the disciples of the Nine Demons Sect far away all had identical standard armor.
"Demon Armor! It must be it!"
The Bu Mie Louse Emperor Armor from Ancestor Wutian made an extremely deep impression on Li Mu, and he instantly connected everything together.
Since the Nine Demons Sect has such a Tier Seven Magical Artifact like the Bu Mie Louse Emperor Armor, as well as numerous lower-tier, Tier Five, and Tier Six Bu Mie Demon Louse Armors, with the Nine Demons Sect’s disposition, they would definitely mass-produce them, the true trump card of the Nine Demons Sect is this Demon Armor!
Li Mu instantly had clarity in his heart.
"Indeed, I shouldn’t roam around at will!"
If not for the foresight from the Time Fortune Spirit Turtle, this trip would have cost him dearly.
Upon deducing the means of the Nine Demons Sect, the next question emerged in his mind.
How to counteract?
After a brief consideration, Li Mu directly chose to give up, as he alone would be incapable of resisting. In this act to reclaim the Purple Melody Celestial Fire, Venerable Xuanling had indeed been sincere, dispatching quite a few personnel secretly.
However, he was weak, unable to even withstand the Nine Demons Sect’s ambush, his contribution alone was too limited, such a grand battle should be left to the major forces of the South Wilderness to handle.
What he could do was merely to inform them of this news in advance, nothing more.
Resting one day in the room, Xue’Er, worried about Li Mu’s condition, stayed in the room the entire day without needing any instructions from Li Mu, as soon as his throat moved, Xue’Er already brought hot water.
It was this day that Li Mu made his decision in his heart.
No matter what, the Demon Qi on Elder Xue Ling, he was determined to cure!
After resting for a day, Li Mu returned to the Artifact Refining Room to complete the remaining orders of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
In his spare time, he’d tend to the Spirit Plants, tease Xue’Er, and the days passed leisurely.
In the blink of an eye, two months had passed.
"Master Li."
Outside the Yin Yang Valley came the transmitted voice of Venerable Qingwei’s Divine Thought, Li Mu hurriedly manipulated a Puppet to bring Venerable Qingwei and Venerable Xuanling to the stone pavilion.
The three gathered once again, Venerable Qingwei was evidently in a good mood, as he had just sat down and pulled a Jade Box from his bosom, placing it on the table.
"Master Li, take a look at what I found."
His words were full of laughter.
Li Mu raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze falling on the Jade Box.
[Golden Profound Spirit Grass]
[Grade: Tier Six Spirit Plant]
[Attributes: Gold and Earth Fusion, Golden Spirit Realm, Sharp Gold Wings, Golden Marrow Spirit Fruit.]
[Status: Just awakened from slumber, lacking Spiritual Energy.]
The Golden Profound Spirit Grass, nurtured within the Golden Essence Spirit Realm, holds the weight of "Earth" and the sharpness of "Gold", complementing each other, it’s the unique stroke of nature under heaven and earth, allowing for the comprehension of both the paths of Gold and Earth, it can be transformed into medicine, with the thickness of thick Earth and sharpness of Gold, coupled with the accompanying Vast Righteous Qi, it can expel countless evil spirits.
Below Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, there’s nothing Li Mu cannot discern.
Though this Profound Gold Profound Spirit Grass is said to be a unique stroke of nature, the average person truly wouldn’t know how to use it. However, the identity he has revealed is clearly in Artifact Refining, why did Venerable Qingwei bring something meant for Alchemy?
Thinking of this, Li Mu’s gaze toward Venerable Qingwei changed slightly.
Could it be, he has discovered something?
Venerable Qingwei laughed heartily, pushing the bag toward Li Mu.
"Actually it’s not so much a find."
"The other day, hearing you talk about the Demon Race, I thought of the injury of the Master of the Snow Fox, feeling this is a great opportunity to bridge the gap between them."
"The disputes between the various demon tribes and our Human Race are not few, causing many losses. Especially the medicinal materials of the Demon Race, which are numerous and of excellent quality, but few among the Demon Race are Alchemists, while our Human Race has countless Alchemists, yet lacks the medicinal materials provided by the various demon tribes, which is regrettable."
"As the Nine Demons Sect stirs, if our Human Race and the Demon Race can seize the chance to reconcile, it would be a blessing for countless generations."
"To be honest, this medicinal material was a chance acquisition during this trip, Master Li, since you can contact the Demon Race, why not help me deliver this item to them, assisting them in refining a pill to break the stalemate, showcasing the intention of our Human Race."
Hearing this, Li Mu suddenly understood, surprisingly, Venerable Qingwei had such intentions.
Unfortunately, while this Tier Six Spirit Plant is indeed rare among the Human Race, in the mountains where the demon tribes reside, such things, although scarce, surely exist. Truly realizing its value likely requires transforming it into a pill with one’s own hand.
After a moment’s contemplation, Li Mu accepted the Golden Profound Spirit Grass.
"I shall hold onto this Spirit Medicine for now, allow me to find an Alchemist to refine it into a Healing Elixir, and then deliver it to Elder Jin Ling, how is that?"
Venerable Qingwei laughed heartily and nodded repeatedly, "Excellent! I trust Master Li to handle it well."
"By the way, senior, when acquiring this Spirit Plant, did you happen to take note of its location and the seeds of the Spirit Grass?" Li Mu inquired, looking at Venerable Qingwei, expressing his concern.
