[The Water and Fire Pearl produced by the special Water and Fire Spiritual Vein, an auxiliary object of the Water and Fire Divine Spring, after enduring thousands of years of baptism, the dual energies of water and fire within the pearl reached a balance. The Spirit Realm solidified, rendering the material’s spiritual energy invisible. By using Blue Divine Water and Red Divine Flame to encircle the pearl’s surface, it can be unsealed. This pearl closely aligns with the Dao, allowing one to comprehend the Tao of water and fire’s mutual restraint and the Tao of power balance.]

...
Dozens of Tier Five and Six Spiritual Materials, two Tier Seven Spiritual Materials, along with various high-value Spirit Plants and Spirit Seeds, left Li Mu ’stunned’ in awe.
Venerable Kun Ling was immensely satisfied with the dumbfounded expression displayed by Li Mu, revealing a bright smile of joy.
"How about it! Friend Li, are you satisfied with this batch of spiritual materials, and can you help me refine a protective Spirit Treasure?" Venerable Kun Ling asked Li Mu with a cheerful smile.
"Elder Kun! Did you rob the Kun Family’s Treasure Vault? With so many high-tier spiritual materials, you can refine not just one, but three or four protective Spirit Treasures!" Li Mu exclaimed in amazement at Venerable Kun Ling.
Hearing this, Venerable Kun Ling burst into hearty laughter.
"The Kun Family wants me to risk my life, how could they not pay a price! Three pieces are too many, just help me refine two good spirit treasures, the rest count as the reward for the last time you helped me refine a spirit treasure! If it weren’t for your help last time, this old life of mine would have been long gone!" Venerable Kun Ling said to Li Mu generously.
Li Mu ’looked’ at the storage ring, pondered for a moment, and indicated, "Elder Kun, since you cultivate in the Wind and Fire Dual Cultivation Method, I will use that Tier Seven Purple Sky Wind and Thunder Crystal to refine a wind and thunder wing-shaped spirit treasure for you, which also has escape capabilities! And use the other spiritual material—the Wind Flame Divine Stone—to help you refine a protective spirit treasure that also enhances Magical True Essence!"
"Good, good! Thank you, Friend Li, but we have to set off in half a month. Can it be done in time?"
Upon hearing this, Venerable Kun Ling’s spirits were lifted, but he was somewhat worried as he inquired.
Li Mu furrowed his brow momentarily and replied seriously, "I will do my utmost to complete the artifact refining before you leave!"
Li Mu’s confident response seemed promising.
"Good, good! Many thanks in advance, Friend Li!" Venerable Kun Ling’s eyes lit up with gratitude.
At this moment, Tianshang Supreme couldn’t hold back, seeming to have something to say but not knowing how to express it, appearing hesitantly speechless.
"Elder, if you have any instructions, feel free to say so." Li Mu observed that Tianshang Supreme seemed to have something to say and took the initiative to ask.
Tianshang Supreme hesitated for a moment, smiled bitterly, and said, "Friend Li, this mission to the South Wilderness Spirit Realm is a life-and-death venture. I, too, have prepared a lot of spiritual materials, hoping you could refine a spirit treasure, but since you already agreed to refine two spirit treasures for Kun Ling, I’m afraid I can’t be accommodated."
As he spoke, Tianshang Supreme took out a purple storage ring from his bosom and handed it to Li Mu.
Li Mu frowned, reached out to take it, and after probing with his Divine Sense, examined it for a while.
Like Venerable Kun Ling, Tianshang Supreme had almost presented his entire wealth, supplying a large number of high-tier spiritual materials, unimpeachable in both quantity and quality.
It’s understandable; both are Void Refining cultivators of the Kun Family. Given the high risk of the mission, the amassed high-tier spiritual materials would otherwise be of little use, thus they were all entrusted to him for refining protective Spirit Treasures.
"Elder, rest assured, I will do my best. If time allows, I will certainly refine a protective spirit treasure for you," Li Mu assured Tianshang Supreme earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Tianshang Supreme felt a warm surge in his heart. He understood Li Mu’s predicament and realized his own request was somewhat excessive. After all, Li Mu had already agreed to refine two spirit treasures for Kun Ling, adding another piece seemed a bit demanding!
But there was no better option; the risks involved in the mission were too high, necessitating thorough preparation.
"Friend Li, I understand this places significant strain on you. If you find it difficult, do not feel compelled," Tianshang Supreme said kindly.
"Elder, you need not worry; it should not pose a problem," Li Mu said, taking a deep breath and speaking with sincerity.
Completing the task of refining three spirit treasures within half a month posed a challenge, but with assistance from Qing Yue and Chi Lian, it was achievable.
On the side, Chen Xuanzi, observing how readily Li Mu agreed, was taken aback.
Previously, when he had sought Li Mu for the artifact refining of a spirit treasure, he had waited over three months. Now, Li Mu was willing to devote himself completely to refining three spirit treasures for the two Void Refining cultivators within half a month; their camaraderie was enviable indeed!
"Thus, many thanks to you, Friend Li!" Tianshang Supreme smiled radiantly.
After discussing the artifact refining commission, the conversation among the four veered towards other topics, such as the status of the South Wilderness Spirit Realm warfare.
At this point, a thought crossed Li Mu’s mind, and he inquired with concern of Chen Xuanzi, "By the way, Elder Chen, in regard to that Venerable Huang Long, did subsequent investigations reveal any leads connected to the Nine Devils Sect?"
Upon hearing Li Mu’s question, Chen Xuanzi’s expression darkened, and he solemnly recounted, "That Venerable Huang Long is dead."
Li Mu was taken aback, evidently not expecting such a response. He eagerly pursued, "Dead? How did he die?"
"After receiving information from you, we watched him for a period. We originally intended to conduct a clandestine investigation, yet he became aware of us. Before he could flee, we managed to capture him. However..."
As Chen Xuanzi spoke, his tone turned heavy: "Just as we were about to perform a soul search to glean more clues, his Primordial Spirit Restriction was triggered, causing a self-detonation of his Primordial Spirit."
Li Mu frowned upon hearing this. Venerable Huang Long was a Divinity Transformation cultivator; such a restriction on his Primordial Spirit indicates formidable backing. This alone suggests that Venerable Huang Long’s identity was not simple and had close ties to the Nine Devils Sect.
"It seems that Venerable Huang Long could not be disentangled from the Nine Devils Sect," Li Mu concluded with a sigh.
Both Venerable Kun Ling and Tianshang Supreme appeared curious and immediately inquired about the circumstances.
Li Mu then gave a full account of the ambush by the Nine Devils Sect on him to Venerable Kun Ling and Tianshang Supreme.
"So, do you think the people from the Nine Devils Sect have already infiltrated the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region?" On hearing this information, Venerable Kun Ling couldn’t help but look curious, the concern apparent in his expression.
"Given the conduct and ambition of the Nine Devils Sect, they will likely not be satisfied with just seizing the South Wilderness Spirit Realm and stop. Hence, they may very well have infiltrated the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars," Li Mu pondered for a moment and then nodded, answering earnestly.
"This matter is no small matter. We must ascertain the extent of the Nine Devils Sect’s infiltration into the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars," Tianshang Supreme stated gravely.
Venerable Kun Ling furrowed his brow in thought and said, "The ambush by the Nine Devils Sect on Friend Li might just have been an impromptu act. Their presence in the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars could be a prelude to more significant plans. Fellow Daoist Chen, we should join forces and report this matter to Sword Master Feng. With the great army gathering in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region, we can get to the bottom of this matter and take decisive action."
"Agreed," Chen Xuanzi nodded in consent with Venerable Kun Ling’s suggestion.
Subsequently, the three of them reached an agreement and immediately took their leave to report this matter to Sword Master Feng of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, leveraging the opportunity presented by the great army assembled in the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars.
