Chapter 123: Chapter 103: Fierce Battle Against the Golden Core (Part 1)
Leaving the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
Li Mu controlled his sword and flew back to South Hidden Mountain. With a sweep of his divine sense, he captured the approaching Red Wolf into his Spirit Beast Bag, then gathered his belongings from the mountain estate, ascended on his sword, and flew towards Little Liang Mountain.
He uprooted the spirit plant seedlings from the half-acre experintal Spirit Field and placed them into the life-sustaining Spirit Plant Storage Device, along with the seedlings of one acre of Cloud Mist Spirit Tea.
The remaining ten acres of Spirit Field of Cloud Mist Spirit Tea would have to grow on their own.
Li Mu sighed in regret, then thought of sothing. He took off the Exquisite Mask, silently perford the Reversed Elent Concealing Breath Technique, compressing his cultivation to the Peak of Ninth Level of Qi Refining, then ascended on his sword, flying towards Qing’an Town, directly landing in the courtyard of Qing’an Town’s station.
"Greetings, Senior Brother!"
At Qing’an Town’s station, the servant disciples, seeing Li Mu arriving on a flying sword, respectfully greeted him.
"Where’s Wang Feng, call him over!" Li Mu glanced at several servant disciples and instructed.
"Yes! Please wait, Senior Brother, I’ll go fetch Senior Brother Wang imdiately." One of the servant disciples quickly responded and hurriedly ran towards the Deacon Hall.
Soon, Wang Feng hurried over with a servant disciple.
"Which Senior Brother is visiting, uh!" Wang Feng was about to inquire about the visitor’s intention when he saw Li Mu, and imdiately lost his words.
Seeing Li Mu’s face, the scene of the severed arm unconsciously replayed in Wang Feng’s mind, his face turned pale. Although his arm had been reattached, the aftereffects were significant, now Wang Feng’s hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.
"Senior Brother Wang, long ti no see. This is two years’ prepaid sect rent. I’m planning to travel far, do not let anyone up to the Spirit Field in Little Liang Mountain!" Li Mu threw Wang Feng a few Middle Spirit Stones, saying with a half-smile.
"Uh! Where are you going?" Wang Feng paused, received the Spirit Stones, and couldn’t help but curiously ask.
Li Mu glanced at him, did not answer, directly flew northward to Lingyang City.
Zhao Huai Ren’s status as an Outer Disciple is still useful. The ten acres of Cloud Mist Spirit Tea and eleven acres of Middle Grade Spirit Field on Little Liang Mountain are sothing Li Mu is reluctant to abandon. He plans to leave so options open for now.
After flying a certain distance, Li Mu released the Light Cloud Spiritual Ship and flew towards Lingyang City at a faster speed.
Two days later.
With the token of a High-level Artifact Refining Honored Guest Elder from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, Li Mu successfully boarded the pavilion’s Treasure Transport Ship heading to Cyan Cloud City, and even received a reasonably sized VIP room.
The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s Treasure Transport Ship travels between various cities, delivering treasures while also accommodating so of the pavilion’s esteed guests with limited space onboard. Li Mu’s VIP room was acquired by squeezing out a shopkeeper from the pavilion.
Upon learning Li Mu was a High-level Artifact Refining Honored Guest Elder, the shopkeeper imdiately took this opportunity to ingratiate himself, making Li Mu incredibly annoyed until he shut the door and refused contact.
Li Mu took a piece of Thunderbird Hide, wielding a Skinning Knife, with a few swift strokes, he skinned off a piece of Talisman Paper.
The Thunderbird Hide’s skin carries so holes from the feather plucking, making it generally difficult to skin into Talisman Paper for drawing Spirit Talismans.
However, Li Mu had mastered the Skin Stripping Technique and Talisman Skin Refining Technique to Level Five, his skinning skills being refined, and he was proficient in various drawings of the Tier Two Thunder Talisman. He could follow the natural Thunder Spirit Patterns on the Thunderbird Hide, avoiding the feather holes during processing, and skin off pieces of Talisman Paper capable of drawing Tier Two Thunder Talismans.
As days went by, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s Spirit Ship flew swiftly across the skies. Li Mu secluded himself in his VIP room, refusing to leave, dedicating himself fully to the stripping of Thunderbird Talisman Paper.
One Thunderbird Hide in Li Mu’s hands could be stripped into over four hundred pieces of Tier Two Thunder Elent Talisman Paper, dramatically increasing in value several tis over. If artifact refining didn’t bring business, just this skill of skinning and Talisman Paper making could ensure he doesn’t starve.
"Finished the last piece, hahaha, I’ve struck it rich!"
Li Mu laughed joyfully, the Talisman Papers would not be sold but reserved for drawing Tier Two, even Tier Three Thunder Talismans.
The Self-destructive Spider Puppet had been modified, and casually, Li Mu crafted a large batch. However, there were no suitable Spirit Talismans matching with the Self-destructive Spider Puppet. The Tier One Fire Bomb Talisman’s power was too low, while the Tier Two Gold Sword Talisman had great power, but the target range was too narrow, and the hit rate not high.
Now, with this mass of Thunder Elent Tier Two Talisman Paper, drawing them into Tier Two Thunder Burst Talismans to pair with the Self-destructive Spider Puppet, the effect could be imnsely useful!
"Boom" ca a loud explosion.
As Li Mu was pondering the good tis, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s Treasure Transport Ship suddenly shook, the vessel rocked violently, and Li Mu, caught off guard, fell heavily, tearing apart the freshly skinned Talisman Paper, destroying the fruits of his labor.
"What’s going on, how is the ship being steered!"
Li Mu cursed furiously, his divine sense quickly scanned outside, his brows knitted tightly.
"What bad luck, actually encountering a ship hijacking!" Li Mu looked dismayed, never expecting to find himself in this situation.
A Golden Core Tribulation Cultivator led seven Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, assaulting the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s captain’s chamber. Many of the pavilion’s crew and guards were killed, while two Foundation Establishnt Tribulation Cultivators began cautiously moving towards other cabins.
It was all because of the high safety level provided by the pavilion’s ’VIP room,’ causing Li Mu to lack prior warning about the situation outside, along with his deep imrsion in stripping the Talisman Paper, he forgot to remain vigilant towards the outside world.
Li Mu took a deep breath and quickly reflected on the ’mistake’ this ti to avoid future recurrence. Next, he needed to think of how to survive this calamity.
"Master Li, please open the door, there are hijackers attacking the ship, co with
quickly!" Outside the door, Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s shopkeeper - Huang Wende, shouted while knocking.
Li Mu paused slightly, surprised that this shopkeeper, despite such a crisis, still thought about his safety. However, currently, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s Spirit Ship seed to have flown into a remote mountain range filled with high-tier monsters. Without the Spirit Ship’s combat power and speed, the chances of flying out of this mountain range were slim!
The only chance was to take down the Golden Core Tribulation Cultivator, as for the other Foundation Establishnt Tribulation Cultivators, releasing the combat puppets refined from Blood Iron Wood could pile them to death!
"Shopkeeper Huang, where are your pavilion’s two Golden Core True Masters? Why haven’t they shown themselves at this mont?" Li Mu curiously inquired about the situation.
"One of the Golden Core Tribulation Cultivators is actually a Golden Core Tributor from among them; he betrayed us and suddenly attacked Master Lin causing serious injuries, this was a preditated ship hijacking, let’s quickly disembark and run! I have a Tier Three Spiritual Ship, Master Li, if you don’t leave, I’ll go first!" Huang Wende urgently urged through the door.
"Since their hijacking is preditated, would they let you escape easily! Finding a way to resist is the right course." Li Mu replied calmly.
"How can we possibly win! That’s a Golden Core True Master, the only one fit to fight Master Lin seems in dire straits now, Captain Wang might be in danger as well." Huang Wende briefly froze, his face displaying deep concern.
"If you want to go, you go first! Don’t worry about !" Li Mu ntally watched the outside movents, said calmly.
"In that case, Master Li, farewell then!" Slling two Foundation Establishnt Tribulation Cultivators’ presence again, Huang Wende decisively abandoned Li Mu and departed.
The absence of Huang Wende’s presence outside, Li Mu ’saw’ two Foundation Establishnt Tribulation Cultivators, then opened a Profound Iron Window, five Tier Three Spirit Swords firing out, aid directly at their heads.
"Who!"
"Who released the flying sword, co out if you dare!"
Suddenly encountering fierce flying sword attacks, the two Foundation Establishnt Tribulation Cultivators were both shocked and enraged, frantic, looked around angrily.
However, no one answered their questions, only faced even sharper, increasingly fierce Sword Qi.
