I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm-Chapter 251 - 174: Extreme Yang Celestial Fire (Part 3)

Upon hearing this, Venerable Lei Hong’s expression changed dramatically.

"Reduce by another ten percent? How can that be done?"

Venerable Lei Hong was taken aback; with such a low success rate, if the refinement fails, won’t the invested precious materials be entirely wasted?

This success rate is too low, absolutely not acceptable!

Venerable Lei Hong furrowed his brows, caught in deep conflict for a moment.

"Fellow Daoist Li, is there any method to improve the artifact refining success rate?" Venerable Lei Hong asked Li Mu with concern.

"Well... There are indeed ways to improve the success rate, but the required items are exceedingly rare in this world!" Li Mu pondered for a moment, nodded, and said regretfully.

"Oh! What is needed? If it can improve the success rate, even by ten or twenty percent, I will mobilize the entire Sect’s resources to obtain it for you, Fellow Daoist Li!" Venerable Lei Hong’s spirit was lifted, and he eagerly guaranteed to Li Mu.

"I have practiced a special artifact refining technique, which without the aid of Celestial Fire is hard to enhance. If there is the support of Celestial Fire, the success rate of refining this fifth-tier spiritual artifact can be increased by another ten to twenty percent, only it’s a pity...," Li Mu feigned a series of shakes of his head, showing a face of regret, voicing his helplessness.

Hearing this, Venerable Lei Hong’s spirit was invigorated, his eyes sparkled, and he became intensely excited.

"Are you serious, Fellow Daoist Li? With the aid of Celestial Fire, can the success rate increase by ten to twenty percent?" Venerable Lei Hong asked excitedly, looking at Li Mu.

After speaking, Venerable Lei Hong couldn’t help but stand up from his seat in excitement, looking at Li Mu with bright eyes, awaiting his answer.

"Yes! Indeed so, if I have the assistance of Celestial Fire, I have this confidence; however, Celestial Fire is the fire of the Celestial Dao, and extremely rare in the world. I have searched for decades with not a single lead," facing Venerable Lei Hong’s fervent gaze, Li Mu confirmed without a doubt.

Pausing for a moment, Li Mu further confirmed: "If there is Celestial Fire to assist, my path in artifact refining can ascend another level, and refining a sixth-tier spiritual treasure is also possible, only it’s a pity, ..."

After speaking, Li Mu exhibited a look of longing, then shortly after sneered with regret and sighed, being deeply desirous of the Celestial Fire yet unable to obtain it.

"Refining a sixth-tier spiritual treasure?"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Lei Hong looked at Li Mu in shock, full of disbelief.

The sixth-tier spiritual treasure is incredibly precious, having crossed a threshold, transforming from quantity to quality, far beyond comparison to a fifth-tier spiritual artifact.

Just like a Golden Core Cultivator compared to a Nascent Soul Cultivator, two tiers of cultivators exhibit a comprehensive enhancement in power, lifespan, and divine soul, with differences as vast as heaven and earth.

A sixth-tier spiritual artifact, once successfully refined, inherently comes with an Artifact Spirit, known as a spiritual treasure, whose power is not something a fifth-tier spiritual artifact can match, for even thirty fifth-tier top-grade spiritual artifacts might not match the power of a single sixth-tier lower-grade spiritual treasure.

For the Divinity Transformation Realm, possessing a sixth-tier spiritual treasure that aligns with one’s spirit root, cultivation technique attributes results in more than just a slight increase in power, substantially increasing strength, with surpassing enemies being an easy feat.

Furthermore, among many Divinity Transformation cultivators, those who can truly possess a sixth-tier spiritual treasure are exceedingly few, as most Divinity Transformation cultivators can only use a fifth-tier spiritual artifact, and as for those sixth-tier spiritual treasures, most become the Sect’s treasure, enhancing the Sect’s foundation, with rarely any Divinity Transformation cultivator able to singly own a sixth-tier spiritual artifact.

The preciousness of a sixth-tier artifact refining grandmaster and their high status are evident as such.

This Fellow Daoist Li himself possesses several fifth-grade top-grade spirit swords, and in the battle against Tian Jue Demon Monarch, he used a thousand fourth-tier spirit swords to form a sword array, thus the title of ’Sword Immortal Li’ is no exaggeration.

Additionally, Venerable Lei Hong personally exposed this Fellow Daoist Li for refining a fifth-tier pseudo-spiritual artifact and auctioning it at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion; his artifact refining ability is undoubtedly genuine.

Venerable Lei Hong seriously contemplated for a while, deeply believing in Li Mu’s words.

Looking at Li Mu’s young and handsome face, Venerable Lei Hong took a deep breath,

He is only a hundred years old yet has reached such a terrifying realm in artifact refining, his path of cultivation is merely beginning, how far can he go in the future?

If he gains the assistance of Celestial Fire, becoming a sixth-tier artifact refining grandmaster, what levels of achievement will he reach in the future?

Thinking of this, Venerable Lei Hong couldn’t help but become excited, if today he could form a slight bond of assistance with him, perhaps not too long in the future, he could gain his support, even just a minimal goodwill, it may lead to gaining his help when Spirit Taming Sect faces crisis!

Thinking of this point, Venerable Lei Hong displayed a look of determination, immediately making a decision.

"Fellow Daoist Li, perhaps your opportunity rests with our Sect, truth be told, many years ago Celestial Vast True Monarch of our Sect, in pursuit of the path of artifact refining, dared to venture into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range seeking refining materials and unexpectedly stumbled upon an opportunity, acquiring a ball of Extreme Yang Celestial Fire," Venerable Lei Hong solemnly stated to Li Mu, not hiding anything.

"Is this true, Sect Master Lei?" Li Mu asked with feigned delight, his eyes lighting up.

"Of course!" Venerable Lei Hong nodded with a smile.

Li Mu, grinning from ear to ear, looked at Venerable Lei Hong joyfully, saying: "Great! With the aid of Celestial Fire, I will accept this artifact refining assignment, I am at least sixty percent confident to refine."

After finishing, Li Mu paused, furrowed his brow at Venerable Lei Hong, and said in a grave tone: "Celestial Fire, born under the Great Dao, is extremely precious. For an artifact refiner, Celestial Fire provides tremendous support in advancing their path, and its spiritual energy is exceptionally high, acknowledging only one master for a lifetime, no matter how advanced another’s cultivation is, they can’t tame it. To ensure Celestial Fire works for me, Celestial Vast True Monarch must sever his connection with it, and in this life, may no longer have the fate of reunion with it."
