Chapter 250: Chapter 174: Extre Yang Celestial Fire (Part 2)
Li Mu placed the empty wine glass on the table, looked at Venerable Lei Hong, and directly asked with a smile, "Sect Master Lei, I am not fond of guessing gas. My sudden visit to your esteed sect may seem abrupt, but since you have granted
a personal audience, I assu you have another purpose in mind!"
Upon hearing Li Mu’s question,
Venerable Lei Hong chuckled softly and then laughed heartily, "Fellow Daoist Li, you speak forthrightly! Indeed, I have a request. I’ve long heard that your artifact refining skills are unparalleled, reaching the level of a grandmaster, capable of refining Tier Five spiritual artifacts. I am in urgent need of refining a special thunder attribute spiritual artifact and need your help."
Refine an artifact for him!
Upon hearing Venerable Lei Hong’s request, Li Mu suddenly realized that Sect Master Lei Hong wanted him to help refine an artifact.
"Sect Master Lei, you flatter . Your sect should have many artifact refining masters! I’ve only dedicated a few decades to the art of artifact refining; I’m afraid I’m not up to the task!" Li Mu declined without a second thought.
The spiritual artifact that a Venerable Divinity Transformation cultivator wants to refine surely has extraordinary requirents. Li Mu didn’t want to get involved with such troubles unless...
After rejecting, Li Mu suddenly thought of a possibility, his heart skipped a beat.
"Fellow Daoist Li, although the Spirit Taming Sect has many artifact refining masters, to this day, none have been able to refine a Tier Five top-grade spiritual artifact. You, on the other hand, should have refined quite a few Tier Five spiritual artifacts, right?" Venerable Lei Hong looked at Li Mu, speaking aningfully.
Pausing for a mont, Venerable Lei Hong looked at Li Mu and analyzed earnestly, "Previously, when the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion held an auction at the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, I was fortunate to participate. Four Tier Five pseudo spirit treasures were auctioned, causing many Divinity Transformation cultivators to compete for them. They were presumably crafted by you, were they not?"
Upon hearing this, Li Mu frowned, surprised that he couldn’t hide this matter from soone intent on investigating.
The reason he had Gongsun Chu deliver the Tier Five spiritual artifacts at the auction was that Li Mu did not want to enter the eyes of so interested parties. Never would he have expected Venerable Lei Hong to expose this matter in person.
The intelligence work was done exceptionally well!
Li Mu sighed, and reluctantly admitted, "My little trick, after all, cannot be concealed from Sect Master Lei!"
Upon hearing Li Mu’s indirect acknowledgnt, Venerable Lei Hong laughed heartily, happily explaining, "Fellow Daoist Li, you are too modest. I was just guessing without any certainty."
With intense eyes, Venerable Lei Hong looked at Li Mu and spoke seriously, "The thunder attribute spiritual artifact that Lei wants to refine is extrely important, as it concerns our sect’s protection grand array. I hope Fellow Daoist Li can assist wholeheartedly. For refining this special spiritual artifact, our sect has spent hundreds of years collecting a set of refining materials, including Tier Six materials, one of which is the extrely rare and hard-to-find Tier Six Purple Sky Thunder Bamboo. Only by entrusting this to you can I be at ease!"
"Of course, if Fellow Daoist Li is willing to refine this spiritual artifact for our sect, you will certainly not work in vain. Whatever your needs, feel free to ask, and our sect will do our utmost to satisfy you!" Venerable Lei Hong said, looking at Li Mu with sincere and eager eyes full of expectation.
After hearing Venerable Lei Hong’s words, Li Mu feigned a deep contemplation, but he was actually calculating in his heart.
Without unforeseen circumstances, Venerable Lei Hong likely wants to refine a thunder attribute array artifact to complent the Thunder Suppression Stele! This is a rare opportunity, and perhaps he can ask him to retrieve the Celestial Fire from Tianhong True Monarch.
Li Mu pondered briefly, then said in a deep voice, "Sect Master Lei, I can indeed refine Tier Five top-grade spiritual artifacts, but the failure rate for refining an artifact of this tier is very high. I guess you want
to help refine a high-tier thunder attribute spiritual artifact, correct?"
"Exactly! Fellow Daoist Li, would you be willing to take on this refining commission? What is the success rate?" Venerable Lei Hong nodded decisively, looking at Li Mu with intense anticipation.
"Frankly, I’ve refined a Tier Five thunder attribute spiritual artifact before, with a success rate of about forty percent!" Li Mu smiled slightly and reached out to summon the Tier Five eagle-shaped thunder wings from his body.
In the next mont, a thunder shadow flashed, transforming into a small blue thunder eagle, perching on Li Mu’s shoulder, lifelike as it preened its blue ’thunder feathers’.
Seeing this spiritual thunder wing artifact, Venerable Lei Hong’s eyes lit up, full of admiration.
This Tier Five thunder wing artifact was extrely well-suited to his Thunder Spirit Root attribute. If used by him, its power could be magnified several tis, able to unleash its powerful thunder battle prowess.
However, in Li Mu’s hands, this thunder wing artifact was rely a flying artifact, providing a slight dodging enhancent, unable to unleash its true artifact’s might.
It was simply a waste!
Venerable Lei Hong was deeply pained, gazing at the ’Thunder Eagle’ artifact, eyes filled with longing.
"Fellow Daoist Li, would you be willing to part with this artifact? I am willing to purchase it at a high price!" Venerable Lei Hong asked Li Mu, eyes fervent as they gazed at the ’Thunder Eagle’ on his shoulder.
Li Mu smiled gently and declined politely, "Sect Master Lei, my apologies, this artifact has already been refined by . Changing its owner would require severing the spirit and breaking recognition, severely damaging the artifact spirit, not worth the loss."
As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, the ’Thunder Eagle’ on his shoulder glared at Venerable Lei Hong, having sensed the source of danger, and dove into Li Mu’s ’body’, disappearing instantly.
Venerable Lei Hong watched the disappearing ’Thunder Eagle’ artifact with a sense of loss and regret. Despite finally encountering an artifact perfect for his spirit root and cultivation technique attributes, it was not fated to be his.
"Sect Master Lei, let’s discuss the artifact refining instead! For refining Tier Five spiritual artifacts, I have about a forty percent chance of success. If the artifact’s properties are too special, the success rate decreases by another ten percent!" Li Mu said, looking earnestly at Venerable Lei Hong.
