Chapter 920: Chapter 483: Return to Treasure City

Li Mu appeared beside the Spirit Field, and in the next moment, summoned the Six-armed Demon Ape from the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion.

"Greetings, Master!"

The Six-armed Demon Ape transformed into a burly, muscular middle-aged man, kneeling on one knee, respectfully saluting Li Mu.

"Rise! I’ve told you many times, there’s no need for formalities and bowing when you see me." Li Mu glanced over the Six-armed Demon Ape, speaking softly.

"Master, the ritual cannot be abandoned. You have re-created me and guided me in my cultivation. This kneeling is of my own free will." The Six-armed Demon Ape said earnestly.

"Alright, rise!" Li Mu smiled helplessly, impressed by the demon ape’s stubbornness, and indicated, "I’m preparing for a journey, and I need you to guard this Spirit Field for a while. Allow no one to enter and damage it until I return."

Xiaojin and the seven Divinity Transformation Avatars had been stationed in seven Lands of the Extreme Realm Seal for cultivation and guarding the Spirit Field. With no one else available, Li Mu could only entrust the Six-armed Demon Ape with the job of guarding the Spirit Field.

The Six-armed Demon Ape stood up respectfully, and said earnestly, "Master, rest assured, with me here, this Spirit Field will not suffer any intrusion. I vow to protect it with my life, ensuring its safety, awaiting your return."

Li Mu nodded with a smile, saying, "Good, with your assurance, I am at ease."

With those words, Li Mu rose into the sky, then released the Earth Element Spirit Ship, piloting it northwards.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s centennial cross-region auction was imminent, and Li Mu prepared to head to Wanbao City to deliver several Daoist Soldiers fulfilling Wang Wenbao’s artifact refining commission, and meanwhile, see if he could acquire any coveted treasures at the auction.

Before long, Wanbao City appeared in Li Mu’s sight, the bustling City of Ten Thousand Treasures like a dazzling jewel embedded in the center of the Central State Spirit Realm. As the Earth Element Spirit Ship slowly descended, the grand spectacle of the City of Ten Thousand Treasures came into view.

A magnificent architectural complex, with high towers soaring into the sky, each brightly lit like stars, splendid and dazzling. The Floating Harbor seemed like islands floating in the air, connecting heaven and earth, creating the city’s unique landscape.

Among these floating harbors, various Spiritual Ships flowed ceaselessly, some fast, some slow, some bright, some dim, tracing beautiful paths in the night sky, like a spectacular light show, captivating the eye.

After the Earth Element Spirit Ship landed at the docking platform, Li Mu, accompanied by Xue’Er, descended the ship and stored it away. Then he presented his Guest Minister Token to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion staff, who promptly led them to the pavilion’s headquarters.

"Master Li, please wait a moment here, Shopkeeper Wang will soon be here." The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion staff respectfully guided Li Mu and Xue’Er into a elegantly decorated reception room, then quietly withdrew.

Inside the reception room, sandalwood fragrance lingered, and various ancient jade artifacts hung on the walls, each exuding the charm of time’s sediment.

Just as Li Mu and Xue’Er took their seats, a maid brought up Spirit Tea.

As the aroma of the tea filled the air, Li Mu and Xue’Er were indulging in the tranquil and beautiful surroundings when footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by Wang Wenbao and the pavilion’s Grand Steward Wan Renlang hurriedly entering the reception room.

Seeing Li Mu, Wan Renlang’s face lit up with a bright smile, stepping quickly forward with cupped hands, "Master Li, Miss Xue’Er, sorry to keep you waiting."

"Master Li, on learning of your arrival, the steward put aside important guests to personally welcome you, indicating the high regard he holds for you." Wang Wenbao respectfully looked at Li Mu, adding with a tone filled with respect.

Li Mu smiled slightly, standing and returning the salute, "Grand Steward Wan, Shopkeeper Wang, you’re too kind. I am but a humble Artifact Refiner, unworthy of troubling the Grand Steward to come personally."

Wan Renlang waved his hand, laughing, "Master Li, your artifact refining skill is unrivaled in the world; I dare not neglect you, as it should be."

"Indeed, Master Li, every piece you create is exquisite. Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion is truly honored to have your favor." Wang Wenbao nodded repeatedly, echoing.

Listening to their conversation, Xue’Er couldn’t help but feel proud. Li Mu’s artifact refining skill was indeed extraordinary, earning such regard from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was well-deserved.

Wan Renlang looked at Li Mu, concernedly asking, "Master Li, with the auction imminent, regarding the three Daoist Soldiers we commissioned you to refine, what is the progress? If there are any difficulties, please speak frankly. We at Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion will fully cooperate."

"Rest assured, Shopkeeper Wan, having received such generous rewards from your pavilion, Mr. Li will certainly exert every effort."

Li Mu laughed heartily, then waved his hand over the table, inserting his Divine Thought into the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, extracting three small Sword Boxes from within, introducing, "Here are the three Daoist Soldiers refined for your pavilion."

Wan Renlang and Wang Wenbao fixed their gaze on the three Jade Boxes, their spirits invigorated.

At that moment, Wan Renlang’s heart raced, seemingly about to leap from his chest. He took a deep breath and, with exceedingly steady hands, slowly lifted the cover of one Jade Box. As the lid gently lifted, a Flying Sword, like a living creature, suddenly sprang out, its blade shining with intense red light, the Fire Dao Principle swirling around it, seemingly carrying the Flame Power between Heaven and Earth, trying to break free, flying into the boundless void.

However, Wan Renlang was prepared; his eyes resolute, he waved his palm, and a powerful strand of Primordial Power like silk precisely wound around, firmly restraining the attempted escaping Flying Sword, then gently pressed it back into the Jade Box. His eyes gleamed with undisguised delight and admiration, exclaiming, "What a Fire Spirit Dao Sword! Brimming with Sword Spirit, intimidating Sword Might, extraordinarily concentrated Fire Dao Principle, Master Li indeed lives up to his reputation, with extraordinary skill!"
