Chapter 785 - 417: Spirit Void Blessed Island
Li Mu slowly directed his divine thought into the jade scroll, and a massive flow of information rushed into his mind.
The first thing that came into view was the phantom of Tianyan Divine Venerable, speaking in a deep tone about the magic technique he cultivated - Celestial Derivation Star Condensation Technique. Through contemplating the transformation of the stars and Tianyan’s changes, he could draw the power of the stars into his body, tempering the physical body and divine soul. Each time he cultivated into a new realm, he could unlock a star technique, a main cultivation technique that could be cultivated to the Void Refining Realm.
After listening for a while, Li Mu roughly understood the characteristics of this cultivation technique and then lost interest.
This cultivation technique was indeed formidable with some unique aspects in star divination, but there was a significant difference from the Yin Yang Five Elements Scripture which Li Mu primarily cultivated, leaving little to draw upon.
As for the ancient secret realm introduced by Tianyan Divine Venerable afterwards, it seemed like a place called Spirit Void Blessed Island. Supposedly, this secret realm is hidden within the void, only intersecting with the real world every hundred years. During that brief period of intersection, a fortunate person might have the opportunity to enter and explore the endless treasures and opportunities therein.
After listening to a brief overview, Li Mu stopped investing his divine sense and stored the purple jade scroll in the storage compartment.
In this world, ancient mansions, secret realms, and ancient ruins are all too numerous and either difficult to distinguish between true and false or contain great dangers, where one might lose their life with the slightest negligence. Therefore, Li Mu always maintained a cautious attitude towards such information. After all, the path of cultivation is long, and losing one’s life for the sake of momentary opportunities is not worth the cost.
Li Mu decided to explore this ancient secret realm when his cultivation advanced to the Void Refining Realm, and he was more adequately prepared. For now, his primary concern was how to quickly enhance his cultivation.
This trip to the Extreme North Icefield was quite fruitful. Li Mu’s mind invested in the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl to begin inventorying his harvest, particularly the vast number of high-tier Yin attribute spirit plants and spirit seeds gathered from the Taiyin Spirit Wood Forest.
In the next moment, a Taiyin Spirit Wood, roots and all, was extracted by Li Mu from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl. A powerful Yin power spread forth, causing the temperature of the entire area to plummet.
The Taiyin Spirit Wood had a peculiar appearance with its trunk displaying a profound grey-black color, exuding a glow that seemed to devour everything. Its bark was covered with silvery-grey patterns, resembling cobwebs under moonlight and shimmering with a mysterious luster. The branches coiled and twisted, with a few uniquely shaped leaves hanging at the tips, exhibiting a yin-grey color imbued with strong life force.
The cold aura emanating from the entire Taiyin Spirit Wood created an inexplicable sense of oppression. The roots of the Taiyin Spirit Wood were highly developed, spreading like living creatures throughout the Yin Sha Spirit Soil, gripping the entire soil firmly. As the Yin power spread, these roots seemed to become even more active, constantly writhing around as if trying to escape this area unsuitable for their growth.
The Taiyin Spirit Wood before him stood five to six meters tall, with the main trunk nearly a meter in diameter. Various Yin Melting Mushrooms and Yin Spirit Fungus parasitized at the roots and certain parts of the trunk, all of which were extremely rare Yin attribute spirit plants.
Beneath the Innate Divine Power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, the attributes of these spirit plants were presented to Li Mu one by one.
[Nether Spirit Fungus]
[Grade: Tier Six Spirit Plants]
[Attributes: Hidden in the Netherworld, Yin Nether Breath, Yin Rui’s Soul Tempering, Yin and Yang Fusion.]
[Status: Yin Nether Charm, full of spirituality]
[Parasites on Taiyin Spirit Wood, the Nether Spirit Fungus nurtured in the Land of Extreme Yin has undergone millennia of accumulation. The Yin essence nurtured by the spirit fungus has reached its peak, with its spiritual energy deeply hidden. Only by continuing to nourish it with Pure Yin Spirit Liquid can it bloom gloriously. This fungus embodies the Dao of Nether and can be used to comprehend the mysteries of Yin Sha Power, making it a top-grade spirit medicine for refining Yin attribute spirit pills.]
[Yin Flower Ghost Vine]
[Grade: Tier Six Spirit Plants]
[Attributes: Power of Yin, Yin Hua Entanglement, binds Yin Spirits, dark dual attributes, Yin Crow’s poison.]
[Status: Netherworld Guardian, brimming with Yin Hua]
The rare dark dual-attribute Yin Flower Ghost Vine is a unique product grown with Yin Sha and Nether Qi, nourished by the nutrients of the Taiyin Spirit Wood. After millennia of growth, the Ghost Vine’s Netherworld Power has reached its peak, making them superior spiritual materials for refining Yin attribute spiritual artifacts and ghost artifacts.
...
Li Mu fixed his gaze and saw that a dozen types of parasitic Yin attribute spirit plants of five or six tiers grew on a single Taiyin Spirit Wood, all of which retained full spiritual energy within the Taiyin Spirit Wood’s inherent domain of Yin without a trace of wilting.
Seeing this, Li Mu was quite pleased. With so many sixth-tier Yin attribute spirit plants, selecting one with a fast growth speed and a high provision of Plant Spirit attributes would undoubtedly ensure the next realm’s planting of Yin attribute spirit plants.
Seven Gods Mountain planted seven kinds of Tier Five Spirit Plants, namely, Five Elements Spirit Plants: Fire Scale Flame Fruit, Blue Spirit Moon Lotus, Golden Sword Chrysanthemum, Yellow Vein Fruit, Green Vine Spirit Sunflower; Yin Yang Spirit Plants: Illusionary Yin Grass, Jade Sun Spirit Fruit.
These seven spirit plants were the optimal spirit plants Li Mu determined after countless selections and experimenting repeatedly using the Withering and Flourishing Technique.
However, after successfully advancing to the Void Refining Realm, continuing to plant Tier Five Spirit Plants would be inappropriate. Li Mu needed to be prepared in advance, and within a hundred years, confirm seven suitable Tier Six Spirit Plants, and then choose appropriate places for planting them.
The higher the tier of the spirit plants cultivated, the more stringent the required growth environment becomes. Simultaneously, the supporting spiritual materials needed to promote their growth become more complicated and troublesome. This is something Li Mu has deeply experienced; cultivating high-tier spirit plants is not a simple task at all.
