Cultivation System: Stronger with Age-Chapter 705 - 301: The Reward of Immortal Lord Luoshui, The Ambition of a Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifact_5
Of course, the Immortal Lord Luoshui before him, Yan Mingyu, was wholeheartedly trying to persuade him to focus on studying the Art of Refining. These days, there’s no rush to convince her; there’s plenty of time ahead!
After all, this Immortal Lord Luoshui has already decided to activate the twenty-four times Time Flow Speed effect of the Demon-Suppressing Immortal Carriage for him. That way, he’ll have nearly twenty years to spend with this Immortal Lord Luoshui. With such a long time, why worry about not having the opportunity to persuade her or win her over? At the very least, if she sets up the Luo Water Grotto Heaven Array for other Immortal Sects, he can observe and will certainly gain a lot from it!
At this thought, Lin Xuankong decisively spoke, "What Immortal Lord Luoshui said just now was entirely for Mu Shiba’s consideration, and Mu Shiba naturally understands. As for the matter of arrays, Mu Shiba actually has some talent in this area. So, regarding the compensation, why not set it aside for now and discuss it later?"
Immortal Lord Luoshui turned to look at Lin Xuankong. Seeing his insistence, she couldn’t help but shake her head slightly.
"Since Mr. Mu insists, then let’s leave it at that for now. If you wish to change the compensation later, you can find me anytime. I usually study the Path of Array in this bamboo house. You can come to the bamboo house whenever you change your mind.
"Additionally, Mr. Mu will need a place to refine Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts here in the Immortal Carriage Cave Heaven.
"I will call Bai over to give you a tour of the Immortal Carriage Cave Heaven. Mr. Mu, you can tell Bai whichever spiritual and scenic place you prefer, and it will help you set up a grotto-mansion for Artifact Refining there!"
Lin Xuankong shook his head and said, "I see that Immortal Lord Luoshui’s Immortal Carriage Cave Heaven is spiritually beautiful everywhere; there’s no need to pick a specific place. I’ll just choose a mountain peak near the entrance to the Immortal Carriage Cave Heaven. That will also make it convenient for me to enter and exit!"
Immortal Lord Luoshui nodded slightly. "Then it shall be as Mr. Mu says."
「A moment later,」
Lin Xuankong and the White-forehead Qilin departed from the small building where Immortal Lord Luoshui resided, floating towards the entrance.
As they floated, the White-forehead Qilin kept glancing at Lin Xuankong. After a long moment, it finally couldn’t hold back any longer and spoke:
"Mr. Mu is indeed an extraordinary person!
"My master has always devoted herself to the Path of Array Formation and has never been distracted by other matters. She almost always meditates and studies before the Luo Water Divine Diagram. Qing and I have never seen her leave that bamboo house!
"In the past thousands of years, even when meeting the Sect Leader of the Luo Water Immortal Sect, or when a major event occurred within the Sect, she rarely spent so much time on it.
"Even a few months ago, the Grand Elder of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect personally came to see my master regarding the monumental event of the Profound Yin Demon Sect invading the Immortal Realm. Yet, my master only spoke with him for a few dozen breaths before decisively choosing to leave the Luo Water Immortal Sect and come to the Western Region to assist the various Immortal Sects here!
"This time, meeting with you, Mr. Mu, my master unusually spent nearly an Hour chatting. And in your presence, she didn’t put on any of an Immortal Lord’s airs at all. If word of this were to spread back to the Luo Water Immortal Sect, I’m afraid countless Earth Immortals and disciples there would be so astonished their jaws would drop!"
Lin Xuankong smiled. "Actually, I find Immortal Lord Luoshui quite talkative and to have a gentle and peaceful nature that makes one feel very comfortable around her. What airs are you talking about?"
The White-forehead Qilin shook its huge head several times. "Mr. Mu, you are completely mistaken! My master usually cherishes her words like gold and rarely chats idly. In the thousands of years that Qing and I have been by her side, my master has spoken less than a thousand sentences to us in total. That’s probably only one sentence every few years!
"In my opinion, it’s because Mr. Mu’s Artifact Refining Technique is truly rare in the Immortal Realm and, more importantly, offers a chance to help my master save the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region. That’s why she was willing to speak so much with you! Otherwise, even if our Luo Water Immortal Sect’s Sect Leader has important matters to report, my master usually dismisses them after just a few cursory words!"
Hearing this, Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but laugh again.
「Several cups of tea later,」
The man and the beast returned to the vicinity of the Immortal Carriage Cave Heaven’s entrance. After selecting a particularly scenic mountain peak, the Sixth-Grade Spirit Beast, the White-forehead Qilin, employed Immortal Techniques to move mountains and shift stones. In a little over an Hour, it had helped Lin Xuankong clear out an extremely spacious and tidy grotto-mansion.
Lin Xuankong, in turn, took out a large quantity of tools and materials for Artifact Refining from his Ghost Frog Pouch, placing them in the grotto-mansion’s Artifact Refining Room. Although most of Lin Xuankong’s Immortal Artifacts had been crafted by that Artifact Refining Genius, Miss Xiao, he himself had personally refined thousands of Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts and some Second to Fifth Grade Immortal Artifacts. Naturally, he was not lacking in tools for Artifact Refining.
Following Immortal Lord Luoshui’s instructions, the White-forehead Qilin directly gave Lin Xuankong a full one thousand sets of materials for refining Immortal Artifacts. It further informed him that it would order the Sect Leaders and Elders of the one hundred and twenty-six Immortal Sects in the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region to start collecting materials for Artifact Refining from this day forward, ensuring Lin Xuankong a continuous supply.
This made Lin Xuankong sigh with emotion. The seventy-five Immortal Sects that had been paying tribute to him would now face even greater pressure, needing to gather materials not only for him but also for Immortal Lord Luoshui. However, it served them right. Among these sects, which had always acted in a devious manner, there might still be others like the disgusting Spirit Cauldron Immortal Sect, secretly colluding with the Profound Yin Demon Sect...
With arrangements settled, Lin Xuankong was preparing to leave the Demon-Suppressing Immortal Carriage and return to the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect to inform the Young Lady and the others. He then asked curiously, "Qilin Immortal, I heard from Immortal Lord Luoshui that during this period, the Luo Water Grotto Heaven Array will be activated with a twenty-four times Time Flow Speed. I wonder, what kind of spectacle will that be?"
The White-forehead Qilin laughed. "Mr. Mu, you will understand once you step outside with me!"
