Chapter 903: Chapter 475: Tribulation of the Golden Ape (Part 2)

Li Mu exchanged a batch of rare alchemy materials at the Contribution Hall. Fortunately, he had made significant contributions to the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, accumulating a substantial amount of contribution points. Although high-tier alchemy materials are precious, he could still afford the exchange.

Moreover, over the years, Li Mu had entered seven extreme realms, harvesting a vast amount of high-tier spirit medicine and spiritual materials, all of which were top-grade spirit medicines with thousand-year medicinal age, more than sufficient for refining high-tier spirit pills.

The three types of high-tier spirit pills mentioned by Xu Zhong—Blood Origin Pill, Dragon Bone Marrow Refining Pill, and Soul Essence Pill—are items with special attributes and rarity. Xu Zhong did not provide the pill formulas, and Li Mu was unable to find these formulas in the Scripture Pavilion.

However, Li Mu was not troubled by this. After returning to the Sect Leader’s Mansion of the Seven Profound Sect, he immediately announced his seclusion and then immersed himself in the cultivation room.

Li Mu sat cross-legged at the central spirit platform in the cultivation room. With a thought, he took out the Soul Realm Pearl from the storage compartment, which housed a wispy remnant soul, that of the ancient combined cultivator, Master Qingyang, a saint master of the Alchemy Dao.

The Soul Realm Pearl emitted a faint glow in Li Mu’s hand, resembling a miniature star, or perhaps amber containing countless worlds. Complex patterns flowed across the surface of the pearl, seemingly innate, embodying profound power of law.

Li Mu held the Soul Realm Pearl in the palm of his hand, gently closing his eyes and immersing his divine sense within. As his divine thought penetrated deeper, the internal world of the Soul Realm Pearl slowly unfolded. It is a boundlessly vast space.

At the center of this space, a faint trace of remnant soul floated quietly. Though weak, it exuded an indescribable majesty and nobility, belonging to the ancient combined cultivator—Master Qingyang’s remnant soul.

Master Qingyang sensed Li Mu’s arrival and awakened from his slumber with a slight fluctuation.

"You have come. How long has it been?"

Master Qingyang ’looked’ at Li Mu, his voice resonating in Li Mu’s divine sense like an ancient bell, deep and distant.

Li Mu respectfully responded, "Senior, it has been over fifty years since our last encounter."

Master Qingyang nodded and observed Li Mu, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. He asked, "In such a short time, you seem to have made breakthroughs again. Your talent is even more impressive than I imagined! What have you come to seek this time?"

"Senior, I have already located the Reversing Death Spirit Grass. However, the medicinal age of that plant is still short, only five hundred years, and it’s not suitable for harvesting at the moment." Li Mu reported while looking at Master Qingyang.

"Is that true!" Master Qingyang perked up and asked with concern.

"I dare not deceive." Li Mu replied with a slight smile, gladly.

The mature Reversing Death Spirit Grass found in the Land of Extreme Yin was given to Tianyan Divine Monarch. Naturally, there are still many Reversing Death Spirit Grasses present. However, due to Master Qingyang being a remnant soul from an integration cultivator, his methods remain unknown, and he discerned too many secrets.

Li Mu decided not to disclose all of this information to Master Qingyang, thus intentionally concealing the specific quantity and location of the Reversing Death Spirit Grass, merely mentioning its existence and medicinal age.

"Five hundred years of medicinal age! It is insufficient for my use! Can you find one with higher efficacy? Preferably three thousand years of medicinal age!" Master Qingyang frowned slightly, seeming unsatisfied with the five hundred-year medicinal age of the Reversing Death Spirit Grass. He pondered for a moment and then slowly spoke, "A three-thousand-year medicinal age Reversing Death Spirit Grass is indeed more valuable, with a much stronger medicinal effect. However, finding such a high medicinal age Reversing Death Spirit Grass in this world is truly difficult."

Master Qingyang paused, looking deeply at Li Mu, and continued, "Yet, since you’ve found a five hundred-year medicinal age Reversing Death Spirit Grass, it shows you have certain fortune and capability. I can give you a suggestion, perhaps it will help you find a higher medicinal age Reversing Death Spirit Grass."

Li Mu cupped his hands, "I seek your guidance, senior."

Master Qingyang nodded slightly and said, "The Reversing Death Spirit Grass grows in the Land of Extreme Yin, and its medicinal effect is closely related to the density of Yin Qi in its environment. Do you know that in this world, there are special secret realms or forbidden grounds, where the concentration of Yin Qi far exceeds ordinary lands of extreme Yin?"

"I see. I will continue exploring such secret realms, gathering this grass with all my effort for you, senior." Li Mu nodded in realization, responding respectfully.

"Then I will count on you. It’s rare for me to awaken; if you have any other questions, you may ask me, perhaps I can offer some guidance." Master Qingyang looked deeply at Li Mu, suggesting earnestly.

Regarding the matter of the Reversing Death Spirit Grass, it relied on Li Mu, and Master Qingyang was quite discerning. Li Mu surely wouldn’t awaken him without good reason.

Li Mu took a deep breath and stated solemnly, "Senior, I have come this time to seek advice on the refining methods for three types of high-tier spirit pills. These three pills are the Blood Origin Pill, Dragon Bone Marrow Refining Pill, and Soul Essence Pill."

Master Qingyang nodded slightly, his gaze revealing deep wisdom, suggesting, "I know these three pills. I will impart the pill formulas and refining methods to you."

Soon, Master Qingyang detailed the refining methods and required materials for each type of pill, carefully advising Li Mu on the nuances to note during the refining process.

Li Mu listened intently, nodding from time to time to indicate his understanding.

After Master Qingyang passed on all the refining methods for the three high-tier spirit pills to Li Mu, he couldn’t help curiosity and asked, "These three spirit pills are not suitable for your use, why are you refining them?"

Li Mu then explained in detail the matter of using these spirit pills to assist the Jade-Eyed Golden Ape, with its lacking talent, to cross the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation.

"Foolish, foolish!" Master Qingyang heard this, furrowing his brow and shaking his head repeatedly, sighing, "How can these three spirit pills assist a demon beast with mediocre talent in surviving the True Spirit Tribulation? Do you understand what a True Spirit is?"
