I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

After bidding farewell to the two Sword Masters, Qiu Changming took Li Mu, and flew by sword towards the forbidden area of Sword Burial Peak.

The two dashed swiftly all the way, passing through dense bamboo forests, flying over towering peaks, and finally arrived at the entrance to the forbidden area of Sword Burial Peak.

Sword Burial Peak, as the name suggests, is like a sharp sword piercing the sky, and this forbidden area is the heart of that sword. At the entrance, an invisible barrier blocked the path to the Grand Array in the forbidden area, which could only be opened with an Array Order to unlock the restriction.

Qiu Changming retrieved a simple and ancient token from his bosom, gathered Spiritual Power in his hand, causing the Array Token to emit a mysterious glow. The barrier in front immediately rippled and then slowly opened.

With the unlocking of the restriction barrier, a passage beneath Sword Burial Peak was unveiled, and Void Refining Sword Cultivators guarding both sides of the passage looked over with vigilant eyes.

"Elder Qiu!" Seeing Qiu Changming arrive, the two Void Refining Sword Cultivators immediately saluted, showing respect. Qiu Changming is the Hall Master of the Sect, qualified to enter the restricted area, and their attention immediately fell on Li Mu.

"This is Li Mu, the newly appointed Supreme Elder of our Sect. From now on, he is also qualified to enter here!" Qiu Changming said, gesturing to the two Void Refining Guards.

Upon hearing this, the two Void Refining Guards were slightly taken aback, looking at Li Mu with surprise. They hadn’t expected that this Divinity Transformation Cultivator would take on the role of Supreme Elder. The Supreme Elders of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect are all individuals whose cultivation is beyond imagination, with even the least capable being at the Void Refining Realm. For a Divinity Transformation Cultivator to become a Supreme Elder was simply unheard of.

However, since Elder Qiu had said so, they naturally dared not question it in any way, urgently responding in unison: "Understood, greetings to Elder Li!"

Li Mu nodded towards them, looking at Qiu Changming with puzzled eyes; he was still unaware of his appointment as Supreme Elder.

Noticing Li Mu’s confused gaze, Qiu Changming smiled slightly and quickly explained: "Elder Li, your Artifact Refining Skill is remarkable. Now you can refine Tier Seven Daoist Soldiers, and you’ve consecutively made significant contributions to the Sect. Today, you have again made a major achievement by discovering the Sealed Land in the Nether Water Sea Region and indirectly preventing the expansion of the Demon Abyssal Forces."

Qiu Changming paused, looking at Li Mu, formally introducing: "Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen wanted me to convey their intentions. To commend your outstanding contributions to the Sect and to acknowledge your Artifact Refining Skill, they decided to promote you to the position of Supreme Elder, enjoying higher privileges within the Sect, with Cultivation Techniques and Auxiliary Cultivation Materials open for exchange, and henceforth, all Sect taxes from the Seven Profound Sect will be waived. If Elder Li is unwilling to serve at the Lower Sect, the Sect can select other positions for you."

Upon hearing this, Li Mu couldn’t help but feel a warm surge within his heart. He hadn’t expected the Sect to bestow such high honor and status upon him, making him feel cherished and touched.

"Thank you for the Sect’s immense favor, and thank you, Elder Qiu, for conveying this." Li Mu calmed his excited emotions and expressed gratitude to Qiu Changming with a bow.

Qiu Changming looked at Li Mu, a glimmer of appreciation flashing in his eyes, and laughed: "Elder Li, don’t rush to thank me yet. If you can refine Daoist Soldiers for the two Sword Masters, enhancing the Sect’s foundation, the Sect certainly won’t treat you unfairly."

Upon hearing the conversation between Qiu Changming and Li Mu, the two Void Refining Guards’ eyes sparkled, staring keenly at Li Mu.

"So, you’re the renowned Elder Li, known for your dual mastery of Artifact and Array. No wonder!"

"Elder Li, you can refine Tier Seven Daoist Soldiers now!"

The two Void Refining Guards were full of surprise and admiration in their speech. Although they usually guarded Sword Burial Peak, they weren’t completely unaware of the news within the Sect. Li Mu’s name and his talent in Artifact Refining and Arrays had long been spread as a legend within the Sect.

Now, upon learning that Li Mu could refine Tier Seven Daoist Soldiers, their gaze towards him instantly became fervently intense.

They exchanged glances and stepped forward almost simultaneously, bowing deeply to Li Mu.

"Elder Li, the two of us would also like to request your help in refining a couple of Daoist Soldiers. Could you possibly have time? Please name your price." Another Void Refining Guard stepped forward, earnestly addressing Li Mu.

Li Mu was slightly stunned at first, then smiled: "You two are too polite. It’s just that the Spiritual Materials needed to refine Tier Seven Daoist Soldiers are extremely rare. I wonder if you have already prepared them?"

Upon hearing this, the two men’s expressions became somewhat embarrassed. Although they knew that refining Tier Seven Daoist Soldiers required precious Spiritual Materials, they had not prepared them in advance. Being asked by Li Mu now, they realized the issue.

"Well... we indeed haven’t prepared the Spiritual Materials in advance." The other Void Refining Guard admitted somewhat shamefully.

Li Mu nodded, showing understanding. He did not directly reject their request but tactfully declined: "Fellow Daoists, it’s not that I am unwilling to help. It’s truly because the Spiritual Materials required for refining Tier Seven Daoist Soldiers are too precious and rare. If you gather the refining materials for Daoist Soldiers, then you can request Elder Qiu to ask me for the refining, I generally don’t refuse requests to refine High-Tier Spiritual Treasures or even Daoist Soldiers."

"Hmm, prepare a double set of Artifact Refining Spiritual Materials. If you still want to refine artifacts later, feel free to commission me for refinement." Qiu Changming smiled slightly, following Li Mu’s lead, gesturing to the two Void Refining Cultivators.

"Elder Li, please come inside! This Sealed Land is filled with Golden Evil Qi, so be cautious!" After saying this, Qiu Changming quickly changed the topic, gesturing an invitation to Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded, seemingly disregarding the eager and fervent gaze of the two Void Refining Cultivators. His ability to refine Tier Seven Daoist Soldiers, once widely known in the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, would surely attract many requests for crafting Daoist Soldiers. These two, whom he had little connection with, would have to wait their turn in line.
