Chapter 851 - 449: Secret Realm News_2
Seeing this, Li Mu was slightly pleased, having a few guesses. It seems that the clue to the Spirit Void Blessed Island is within reach.
However, these old fellows are tightly-lipped; they won’t throw eagles without seeing rabbits. Li Mu pondered for a moment and decided to offer a greater temptation.
Li Mu looked at Huang Long Daoist, nodded, and continued to introduce, "Alright, Elder Huang, for refining the Returning Void Pill, the required ’Purple Gold Spirit Flower’. This medicine generally thrives alongside fire, requiring a place rich in Purple Essence Spirit Qi to grow. It can be used after five hundred years of medicinal age. Considering the attributes of this medicine, it should not be difficult to find."
"Another main ingredient, Void Spirit Marrow, is an extremely rare Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object. It often hides deep within Spirit Veins underground and only forms after thousands of years of gestation. The Void Spirit Marrow appears milky white, feels as smooth as jade, yet can vanish instantly. Without special sensing means, it is extremely hard to discover its traces. However, it is not as difficult to find as the Nine Void Reishi; its trace was seen at the last Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion auction." Li Mu remarked to the Void Refining Cultivators, smiling warmly.
After Li Mu’s introduction, the Void Refining Cultivators couldn’t help but nod frequently, gaining some expectations regarding the refining of the Returning Void Pill.
"Thank you, Friend Li, for offering these clues. Regarding another main ingredient of the Returning Void Pill — Concentrating Spirit Fruit, do you know its origin?" Huang Long Daoist looked at Li Mu with anticipation in his eyes and asked with concern.
Upon hearing this, Li Mu smiled faintly, nodded lightly, and laughed, "Elder Huang, the Concentrating Spirit Fruit you mentioned is indeed exceedingly precious. However, I had the good fortune to obtain some years ago while refining a Spirit Treasure for a senior."
Saying this, Li Mu slowly extended his hand and took out an exquisite Jade Box from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl. The box was engraved with delicate patterns, radiating a soft glow, seemingly containing a mysterious power.
Li Mu gently opened the Jade Box, and a refreshing fruity aroma instantly wafted through the air, delighting the senses.
Inside the box, quietly lay a crystalline Concentrating Spirit Fruit, akin to a dazzling Golden Pearl, emitting a faint golden glow, containing immense Primordial Spirit Power. Just a glance can feel the Divine Essence Breath emanating from within.
The Void Refining Cultivators saw this and showed expressions of surprise. They hadn’t expected Li Mu to indeed possess a Concentrating Spirit Fruit, and judging by its quality, it was evidently a superior choice.
"This fruit is the Concentrating Spirit Fruit." Li Mu carefully held the Concentrating Spirit Fruit from the Jade Box and exhibited it to everyone: "I own a total of three Concentrating Spirit Fruits, willing to devote all to the collaborative refining of the Returning Void Pill."
After speaking, Li Mu took a deep breath, his gaze swept over the surrounding Void Refining Cultivators, finally resting on Huang Long Daoist, earnestly saying, "Elder Huang, you are a Grandmaster of the Void Refining Realm, with exceptional skills. If we can gather all the Spirit Medicines for the Returning Void Pill, I firmly believe you can refine it. I ask for little, just hoping to obtain one Returning Void Pill to aid my cultivation journey."
Huang Long Daoist’s eyes sparkled with astuteness, scrutinizing Li Mu as though to see through his intentions and purpose for such actions.
Huang Long Daoist, after brief contemplation, realizing Li Mu’s cultivation is merely Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation, incapable of causing much shift amidst their group of Void Refining Cultivators, decided not to overthink.
A moment later, Huang Long Daoist burst into hearty laughter, his voice resonant, praising Li Mu, "Friend Li, you certainly are deep and concealing! To have three such invaluable Concentrating Spirit Fruits is indeed unexpected. If other main ingredients are gathered, refining the Returning Void Pill naturally poses no issue, I’m willing to personally attempt refining it."
Li Mu smiled slightly, first securing the Jade Box, turned towards Huang Long Daoist and the Void Refining Cultivators, respectfully gesturing, "Elder Huang overpraises. I merely acquired these three Concentrating Spirit Fruits by chance. Now that one of the Spirit Medicines needed for refining the Returning Void Pill is gathered, other main ingredients will need to be entrusted to all of you esteemed elders."
The Void Refining Cultivators, hearing this, nodded in agreement. Their gazes collectively shifted to Huang Long Daoist, anticipating him to oversee this significant collaborative refinement of the Spirit Pill.
Huang Long Daoist’s gaze swept over the Void Refining Cultivators, smiling and nodding, "Since Friend Li can offer three Concentrating Spirit Fruits, then the collaborative refinement of the Returning Void Pill is settled. Friend Li provides three Concentrating Spirit Fruits and will receive one Returning Void Pill. As for the remaining Returning Void Pills, whoever finds other main ingredients may partake in this collaborative refinement. When the time comes, refining the Returning Void Pill will be allocated based on the quantity and quality of Spirit Medicines each provides."
The Void Refining Cultivators, hearing this, expressed agreement. Huang Long Daoist’s proposal is fair and reasonable. Suddenly, the atmosphere of the venue grew tense, with cultivators secretly eager to strive relentlessly, preparing to seek the main ingredients for collaboration refinement.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, among the four main ingredients necessary to refine the Returning Void Pill, the Nine Void Reishi is undoubtedly the rarest and most difficult to find. Since it likely hides in the Spirit Void Blessed Island Secret Realm, why don’t we first discuss the exploration, then talk about a trade?" A Cyan-robed Sword Cultivator, brows furrowed, looked at Huang Long Daoist with a sense of urgency in his eyes, suggesting.
Li Mu, hearing this, felt a surge of excitement, his gaze firmly fixed on Huang Long Daoist, eagerly asking, "Elder Huang, do you know the exact whereabouts of the Spirit Void Blessed Land? If we can ascertain the island’s trail, find the Nine Void Reishi, refining the Returning Void Pill might have hope!"
Huang Long Daoist, looking deeply at Li Mu, eyes twinkling with wisdom, he probably understood Li Mu’s undertaking of the Returning Void Pill and his intention behind introducing the Nine Void Reishi. But then, what of it!
Li Mu, having reached Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation, probably aims to gather the main ingredients for the Returning Void Pill, forcing him to bring the pill formula for a trade, and additionally offering three Nascent Soul Fruits.
Comprehending these matters, Huang Long Daoist immediately set his heart at ease, slightly smiling at Li Mu, nodding gently, and praising, "Friend Li, you are indeed clever. I do know of the Spirit Void Blessed Island. Initially, after this trading session concluded, we were to discuss the protocol of ascending the Spirit Void Blessed Island. If you are interested, of course, you may join in."
Li Mu, hearing this, was filled with joy, hastily bowing in gratitude, "Many thanks for the elder’s support! This island’s trace is hard to find. If I could seek your guidance, I’d undoubtedly yield twice the result with half the effort. I am willing to join the exploration team, venturing to the Spirit Void Blessed Island together."
"Don’t rejoice too soon; the prohibitive power on the Spirit Void Blessed Island is formidable, threatening even us with potential demise upon landing. With your cultivation taking on this island, the risk also won’t be small. You need to consider carefully whether you truly wish to accompany us." Huang Long Daoist, with a solemn expression, looked at Li Mu, emphasizing.
Upon hearing this, a resolute glimpse flashed in Li Mu’s eyes, "Elder, I have already decided, I am willing to venture with you, regardless of outcome, it is a precious experience on the path of cultivation, destiny controls life and death!"
Seeing Li Mu so determined, Huang Long Daoist no longer said much, merely nodded slightly, continuing to explain, "The Spirit Void Blessed Island is a secret realm independent of the mainland. It doesn’t constantly appear on the sea surface. Only when specific stars align forming the ’Spirit Void Star Array’ does the Spirit Void Blessed Island emerge over the corresponding sea realm. This ’Spirit Void Star Array’ is a natural law of Heaven and Earth, requiring profound astronomical and astrology knowledge to precisely predict its emergence time. And we need to combine the sea realm’s geographic features to locate the specific position of the Spirit Void Blessed Island."
Having said that, Huang Long Daoist looked toward a white-robed cultivator and laughingly asked, "Fellow Daoist Jing Wen, you specialize in astrology. Share with everyone how long until the Spirit Void Blessed Island surfaces?"
The white-robed cultivator, Jing Wen, smiled lightly, introduced to everyone, "Everyone, based on my recent observations and calculations, the Spirit Void Star Array will reach its most perfect configuration at midnight seven days from now. The Spirit Void Blessed Island will appear five hundred miles southeast of East Cloud Island, and by then, we can commence our island exploration journey."
Upon hearing this, cultivators revealed joyful expressions, Li Mu too felt a burst of excitement. His plan finally succeeded, gaining information about the Spirit Void Blessed Island.
"There’s still seven days before the Spirit Void Blessed Island reveals its signs, it’s early yet, let’s continue with the trading! Once this trading session ends, everyone can prepare for a perfect chance to ascend the island and seek treasures." Huang Long Daoist slightly smiled, looking at everyone implying.
As Huang Long Daoist’s words concluded, the trading venue resumed its atmosphere of treasure evaluation, the next Void Refining Cultivator brought out three Spiritual Objects to display for trade.
