Chapter 922: Chapter 484: Auction Commission

Faced with Wan Renlang’s praise, Li Mu merely smiled, not taking it to heart; no amount of acclaim compares to the practicality of benefits.

Initially accepting the commission for the three Dao soldier artifact refinements from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was with pre-negotiated compensation. Offering additional artifact refining spiritual materials was merely an extra, but more importantly, the spiritual objects provided by the Pavilion.

"Steward Wan, regarding the spiritual objects up for auction, are there any good items you might let Mr. Li have a preview of?" Li Mu smiled and made his request to Wan Renlang.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s inter-regional auction was quite grand, attracting prominent figures from various domains, surely gathering many high-tier spiritual objects, among which are rare treasures. Li Mu naturally wanted to preview whether there was anything he might be interested in.

Upon hearing this, Wan Renlang nodded with a smile and said, "Certainly no problem, Master Li. I’ll take you to the treasure vault to directly view the items!"

Li Mu nodded gladly, and under Wan Renlang’s guidance, the two left the reception hall, past multiple corridors, and through stringent guarded checkpoints, arriving at a rather secretive vault.

The vault was constructed with Tier Five Black Tortoise Stone, exceptionally solid and layered with prohibitions and defense arrays, further guarded by Integration and Void Refining cultivators, capable even of barring masters from entering.

Reaching the secret room door, Wan Renlang spent considerable effort, unraveling restrictions and activating arrays, before finally allowing the door to slowly open.

As the door opened, a rich surge of spiritual qi flooded forth, as if the entire room’s air was saturated with spiritual objects. Li Mu took a deep breath, feeling utterly refreshed and as if his whole being was bathing in a sea of spiritual qi.

"Master Li, this is our Pavilion’s treasure vault. The spiritual objects prepared for this auction are all inside, please!" Wan Renlang stepped aside, gesturing invitingly to Li Mu, with a cheerful smile in welcome.

Li Mu, capable of refining Tier Seven Daoist Soldiers, was an Artifact Refining Saint Master; Wan Renlang was contemplating how to deepen their collaboration. Allowing him to view the treasure vault and showcase the Pavilion’s wealth is most suitable.

Li Mu stepped into the treasure vault, his gaze immediately attracted by the dazzling array of high-tier spiritual objects before him.

Each high-tier spiritual object either floated in the air or was displayed on jade platforms, emitting unique radiance and waves, countless in number.

Previously, Li Mu had the fortune to enter the Snow Fox Race’s treasure vault and witnessed many grand scenes at the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, but compared to the treasures of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s vault, in both quality and quantity, it was a stark contrast.

Li Mu walked to a jade stone emitting a faint glow; it was a piece of top-grade spirit marrow, enough to stir any cultivator’s heart. Yet, Li Mu’s gaze only lingered briefly before shifting to the more rare spiritual objects beside it.

Li Mu’s gaze fell on a giant stone placed within the warehouse; it was emitting a faint starlight, nearly a meter tall, simple, ancient, and gray, seemingly unremarkable. However, under the Innate Divine Power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, its attributes clearly emerged in his vision.

[Meteor Crystal Core]

[Grade: Tier Seven Spirit Ore]

[Attributes: Spirit Repelling Thought, Indestructible, Self-Formed Gravity Realm, Inner Refinement, Eternal Solidity.]

[Meteor Crystal Core, Tier Seven Spirit Ore, the core meteor crystal core produced after an aging fallen star’s explosion; weight: fifteen million jin, naturally self-forms heavy principles, compatible with Ten Thousand Spirits, spiritual concealment, material unobtrusive.]

It was indeed one of the primary materials to refine the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.

"Master Li has good eyesight indeed. This Star Meteor Crystal is an excellent refining material and the centerpiece of this auction, with immeasurable value. Master Li, if you like it, feel free to take it." Noticing Li Mu’s gaze, Wan Renlang rejoiced internally and promptly introduced it enthusiastically.

Li Mu slightly nodded, gratefully thanking, "Thank you, Steward Wan, for making this possible. I won’t be polite."

"Haha, Master Li, no need for formality. Take anything you fancy." Wan Renlang’s hearty laughter echoed through the vast warehouse, eyes gleaming with appreciation and anticipation for Li Mu.

The more spiritual materials Li Mu took, surely more valuable Dao soldiers would be refined later. If sold, he’d undoubtedly consider the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion; it’s all profit.

Li Mu nodded appreciatively, once again scanning the myriad of spiritual objects.

Li Mu’s gaze suddenly locked onto an inconspicuous corner, where rested an ice-blue spiritual object seemingly ordinary, emitting faint coldness, appearing mismatched amongst the surrounding spiritual objects.

Li Mu felt a stirring in his heart, stepped forward, and the Innate Divine Power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits presented its attributes.

[Ice Soul Spirit Crystal]

[Grade: Tier Seven Spiritual Materials]

[Attributes: Extreme Cold Essence, Frost Concealed Within Crystal, Freezes All, Cold and Clear Luster, Crystal Clear Across Heaven and Earth]

[Ice Soul Spirit Crystal, Tier Seven Cold Ice Spiritual Object, a piece of cold crystal formed over tens of thousands of years in a Land of Extreme Cold, cold and clear luster, imbued with unfathomable power of ice. It harbors the primordial essence of Ice Soul at the formation of Heaven and Earth, closely connected to the chill in the world, capable of triggering extreme cold power, possessing the magnificent ability to freeze Heaven and Earth. The Ice Soul Crystal surface gleams cold and clear, crystal clear like a mirror, as if sealing an endless icy world within it. Once its inner extreme cold power is invoked, it can cause manifestations of frozen earth and piercingly bleak winds, unleashing frightful might cold to the bone.]

"Ten Thousand Year Ice Soul," Li Mu asked in astonishment.

"Master Li indeed has eagle-like vision. This Ice Soul Spirit Crystal is sealed within a Sealing Spirit Protection Array, with no cold power having leaked, appearing plain and mundane. But yet, it was inadvertently discerned by Master Li." Wan Renlang praised Li Mu’s keen eyesight.
