Li Mu furrowed his brow. If there's High-tier Spirit Marrow, of course, I'd choose the high-tier one. However, ordering Blood Iron Wood and Cyan Wood Spirit Marrow together means I don't have enough Spirit Stones!

"How much deposit is needed for an order?" Li Mu's heart stirred as he looked at Tang Yue Ru and asked.

"Just need to pay ten percent upfront!" Tang Yue Ru quickly replied.

"Alright, help me order three jin of Cyan Wood Spirit Marrow and a hundred units of Blood Iron Wood." Li Mu decisively made the decision.

"Thank you, thank you for your patronage! You need to pay a total of: 5700 Middle Spirit Stones as the deposit and 500 Middle Spirit Stones for the Spiritual Peach Wood payment." Tang Yue Ru's face flushed red as she excitedly expressed her gratitude to Li Mu and calculated.

With this business done, there's no worry about this year's performance!

Li Mu smiled, took out the Spirit Stone Storage Bag, paid the bill, and received two ordering contracts from Tang Yue Ru.

The contract stipulated the rights and obligations of both parties. If the balance isn't paid by the due date, the deposit would belong to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Of course, if the pavilion fails to deliver the goods on time, they would compensate Li Mu with Spirit Stones.

Truly, it's the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion earning the Spirit Stones and the pavilion spending it; not a single Spirit Stone can be taken home!

Having paid the deposit, there's still a large remaining payment. Li Mu, in his identity as Master Li, would have to work at the pavilion to earn Spirit Stones.

However, for the upcoming Fire Spiritual Objects and Water Spiritual Objects, Shopkeeper Wang can help with the search, continuing to order from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Li Mu's heart couldn't take it.

After settling the Spirit Stones, Li Mu followed Tang Yue Ru to the warehouse to receive 100 units of Spiritual Peach Wood into his Storage Bag, and then left the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

Soon after, Li Mu changed his clothes, used the Exquisite Mask to change his face, slightly adjusted his aura, and appeared at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

"Master Li, you've returned!"

"Master Li, please wait a moment, I'll notify Shopkeeper Wang!"

"Master Li, congratulations on your successful Foundation Establishment!"

"Master Li, congratulations, Shopkeeper Wang has been talking about you every day!"

The four female cultivators at the door immediately became excited upon seeing Li Mu, with one going inside to notify Shopkeeper Wang, while the others surrounded him enthusiastically, their tender bodies instinctively sticking close.

Soon, hurried footsteps approached, and Wang Wenbao's prosperous figure eagerly came forward with a bright smile, warmly welcoming, "Master Li, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

"Master Li, you have reached Foundation Establishment! Congratulations, congratulations, this is a Foundation Establishment gift for you, please accept it!" Noticing Li Mu's powerful Foundation Establishment Spiritual Pressure, Wang Wenbao quickly took out a Jade Box from his Storage Bag and presented it with both hands.

Li Mu fixed his gaze on it, his eyes unable to move away.

"Shopkeeper Wang, your gift is too valuable, you've really gone all out!" Li Mu looked at the item in the Jade Box, then looked up at Wang Wenbao in surprise, not expecting the usually 'stingy' Shopkeeper Wang to be so generous today, giving him such a substantial gift upon meeting.

If Wang Wenbao knew Li Mu's evaluation of him, he would definitely cry injustice. Heaven's witness, to please Li Mu, Wang Wenbao had spent countless efforts and wealth, sending ships, sending materials, and various auxiliary cultivation spiritual objects.

If it weren't for considering the feelings of the other Artifact Refining Honored Guest Elders, Wang Wenbao would wish to shower Li Mu with anything, as long as he stayed in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion to refine artifacts.

[Illusion Realm Spirit Pearl]

[Grade: Tier Five Spiritual Object]

[Attributes: Ten Thousand Feet Space, Nine Dao of Kong Cang, Illusionary Breath Hidden]

[The Illusion Realm Spirit Pearl, refined from the Void Realm Stone by the Tier Five Nine-Turned Illusion Spirit Clam, forms nine paths on its own, forming a ten thousand feet void realm. It's one of the top-grade materials for refining large Storage Spiritual Artifacts.]

Li Mu stared at the milky white Treasure Pearl in the Jade Box. Below his Innate Divine Power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, the virtual frame immediately displayed the detailed information of the Spirit Pearl.

"Haha! I heard Master Li likes collecting rare spiritual objects. This Void Realm Spirit Pearl has been with me for some time, but I've never found someone suitable to refine it. Today, it's perfect, and I'm gifting it to Master Li as a Foundation Establishment gift." Wang Wenbao laughed heartily and introduced.

"Shopkeeper Wang, you are too polite. Having the honor to serve as an Artifact Refining Honored Guest Elder at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion is truly my privilege, and I indeed like this pearl very much, so I'll shamelessly accept it!" Li Mu gave Wang Wenbao a sideways glance, pondered for a moment, and then reached out to take the Jade Box.

Wang Wenbao had implied something, giving him such an expensive gift today was not without its price. This was hoping for a promise from him!

Wang Wenbao clearly felt dissatisfied with Li Mu for trading three pieces of Tier Three Top-Grade Spiritual Artifacts with other Foundation Establishment Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Trade Fair, because since becoming the Artifact Refining Honored Guest Elder at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, the artifacts he refined were only Tier Three High-Grade Spiritual Artifacts, one grade below top-grade.

Today, Wang Wenbao giving him this expensive gift had two purposes: first, to not hold back in future artifact refining, and second, to continue collaborating with the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion in artifact refinement to avoid trading with other Foundation Establishment Cultivators that would disrupt the artifact pricing.

Li Mu understood the deeper meaning in Wang Wenbao's words, accepted the gift with a smile, and gave him a clear reply, that during his tenure as the Artifact Refining Honored Guest Elder at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, he would adhere to the guest elder agreement, thus accepting his request.

The doorway was not the best place for such discussions, and under Wang Wenbao's enthusiastic lead, they moved to the reception room to talk in private.

"I wonder, Master Li, how long will you be staying this time?" Once in the reception room, both took their seats, and Wang Wenbao eagerly inquired.

"I'll be staying a bit longer this time, but I need to find two high-tier Spirit Fires and Spirit Water for refining a spiritual artifact. I hope Shopkeeper Wang can help with the search." Li Mu responded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wang Wenbao was overjoyed. With Li Mu staying in Gangyang City for a few days longer, the Void Realm Spirit Pearl given away might be earned back, indicating this gift was well-given.

"No problem, I know of a place with a Spirit Fire, about seven hundred miles from Gangyang City, at the Celestial Vast Volcano, where a Red Flame Spirit Fire is nurtured. However, this Spirit Fire ranks as Tier Four and is hidden in the volcanic magma, with several Tier Three Fire Lizards residing there. Acquiring it would be extremely difficult, and a Golden Core True Master might be needed." Shopkeeper Wang said, looking at Li Mu.

After pondering briefly, Wang Wenbao continued, "As for Spirit Water, I wonder if Tier Three Earth Vein True Water would suffice? Lingyin Daoist might still have some in stock! If needed, I can arrange to get it for you."

"Is there any Tier Four Spirit Water? Earth Vein True Water might not be enough." Li Mu frowned and asked discontentedly,

He already had a piece of Tier Four - Earth Breath Black Soil, and in four months, the Cyan Wood Spirit Marrow ordered from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion would arrive. Now that the Red Flame Spirit Fire had a lead, the missing pieces were Spirit Water and Tier Four Gold Element Spiritual Objects.

Hmm!

The Artifact Refining Warehouse at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion seems to have some stock; if necessary, I can assume another identity to continue ordering from the pavilion.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion's support is immense; through its assistance, Li Mu could easily obtain resources that are hard to acquire outside. With this channel, naturally leverage it fully instead of foolishly venturing out for risk.

"Master Li, if not urgently needed, I can arrange to procure from elsewhere!" Wang Wenbao contemplated for a while and suggested.

"It'd be best to gather them within three to four months. Also, I don't want to live in the city; can Shopkeeper Wang help me find a piece of Spiritual Land with a Spirit Field nearby? If artifact refining is needed, they can come to find me." Li Mu looked at Wang Wenbao and proposed.

Is Master Li planning to settle down long-term?

Hearing this request from Master Li, Wang Wenbao was immensely delighted and eagerly nodded, "No problem! I wonder, how big do you need the Spiritual Land to be? I'll try my best to find it for you, ensuring your satisfaction."

"Just more Spirit Fields would be fine. A hundred acres of Lower Grade Spirit Field, or even just a few dozen acres will do! Just having more Spirit Fields will suffice, with no high requirements for the Spirit Vein." Li Mu replied with a slight smile.

Hearing this, Wang Wenbao was momentarily taken aback, not expecting Master Li to make such an unusual request.

Wang Wenbao curiously asked, "Master Li, do you like farming?"

"Yes! It's a particular hobby besides artifact refining; I enjoy planting Spirit Flowers and Spirit Grass to nurture the spirit. The more I plant, the happier I feel." Li Mu replied bashfully with a smile.

"Good, good! That's a wonderful hobby! That's fantastic! I'll arrange for someone to find a piece of Spiritual Land with plenty of Spirit Fields for you." Wang Wenbao happily nodded continuously.

Other Artifact Refining Honored Guest Elders at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion either liked women, cultivation, or raising Spirit Beasts... To cater to their preferences, various resources needed continuous supply, and large sums of Spirit Stones were continually flowing out!

Is there any hobby more economical than farming? Master Li's hobby is truly hassle-free!
