Soon, Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion's Foundation Establishment Guard Hu escorted Li Mu as a broker took them around Gangyang City to look at spiritual lands.

"Master Li, how about this spiritual land? It has thirty-five mu of Lower Grade Spirit Fields, a detached courtyard, surrounded by mountains and water, plus an orchard. This place is located in the core area of the west side of Yang City, close to the Spirit Vein, uniquely advantageous,..." The broker brought the two of them to a peach orchard spiritual land and introduced it to Li Mu enthusiastically.

"No, there are too few usable Spirit Fields here, and the orchard occupies most of the Spirit Fields. Let's look somewhere else." Li Mu glanced at the estate and said disdainfully.

"Alright then! Master Li, let's go to another spiritual land, the location is a bit remote, a bit far from the main city! However, there are numerous Spirit Fields, and it will certainly satisfy you." Having seen several spiritual lands that were unsatisfactory due to the few Spirit Fields, the broker, spiritedly decided to unveil his trump card and introduced another.

"Then what are we waiting for, let's go!" Li Mu indicated.

The broker quickly drove the Spirit Beast Vehicle away from Gangyang City, heading towards a spiritual land in the outskirts.

Soon, two Spiritual Camel Beasts towing a wooden vehicle swiftly carried the three of them to a small Spirit Mountain nearby.

"Master Li, the spiritual land with plenty of Spirit Fields is right here, South Hidden Mountain. This Spirit Mountain has a total of eighty-two mu of Lower Grade Spirit Fields managed by seventeen Spirit Plant Cultivators. However, you can enclose this mountain's spiritual land and lease it. This mountain is not high and contains a small Spirit Vein, with a Spiritual Spring on the mountain and a Spirit Stream below,..." The articulate broker looked at Li Mu and energetically introduced the general situation.

"No need to say more, this is it!" Li Mu immediately took a liking to this place and interrupted the broker with a wave of his hand.

The sight included a vast Spirit Field cultivated across the wilderness, with quite a few White Jade Spirit Rice seedlings, green and lush. Without needing to clear the land again, Wind Spirit Grass can be planted anew, suitable for short-term residence. Li Mu was very satisfied.

"Great! I'll arrange it now." The broker acknowledged with delight.

"How long will it take?" Li Mu asked coolly.

"Three days, I'll definitely have it ready in three days!" The broker responded promptly.

"That's too long, I'll give you one day. If you can have it ready by tomorrow, I'll personally reward you with fifty Middle Spirit Stones." Li Mu smiled faintly, encouragingly.

"No problem, Master Li, await my good news." The broker responded excitedly.

"Master Li, now that the place is settled, let's return. Tomorrow, people from the estate gate will come to build a house, and Array Masters will set up the Protective Array." Foundation Establishment Guard Hu looked at Li Mu and suggested.

Li Mu nodded, followed Foundation Establishment Guard Hu using Sword Control, and returned to Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

----

Utilizing the connections and resource channels of Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, Li Mu needed to pay a corresponding price, which was to refine Spiritual Artifacts for Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

Returning to Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, Li Mu didn't see Wang Wenbao. He should have gone to find Spiritual Fire and Spirit Water for Li Mu.

Arriving at Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion's Artifact Refining Workshop, Li Mu took refining materials from Liu Zhong and dove into the Artifact Refining Room with an Earth Fire Refining Furnace, closing the stone door to fully dedicate himself to refining.

Before refining Spiritual Artifacts for Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, Li Mu pondered for a moment and decided to first use the Illusion Realm Spirit Pearl to refine a Storage Spiritual Artifact for himself.

Though he had a master panel with a Storage Compartment, to distinguish a large number of Spiritual Objects, Li Mu carried eight Storage Bags for differentiating various types of stored items, which was endlessly bothersome.

The Illusion Realm Spirit Pearl naturally grows with the Nine Dao of Kong Cang, which can be refined into a Top-Grade Storage Spiritual Artifact with nine storage spaces. If successfully refined, the problem known as the 'Eighth Bag Elder' would be resolved.

Li Mu took out two pieces of silver ore from the Storage Compartment, two pieces of Tier Three Silver Star Stone mixed with a pinch of Tier Five Ruyi Stone mined from a sword cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Trade Fair.

He was uncertain how much of the Tier Five Ruyi Stone was mixed within these two pieces of Silver Star Ore, but if there were about one or two parts, they could be used to refine the Storage Spirit Pearl.

Li Mu cast a spiritual technique to activate the Earth Fire Refining Furnace, guiding the Earth Vein Flame.

The massive earth fire refining furnace scorching with fierce flames emitted a terrifying high temperature.

Li Mu placed the two pieces of Silver Star Ore into the furnace, and soon, under the high-temperature Earth Fire's cleansing, the Silver Star Ore vein suspended in the furnace center swiftly melted into a pool of silver metal liquid; however, some small milky-white shards defied the heat, remaining solid.

Seeing the varying sizes of the milky-white shards, Li Mu was not alarmed but delighted.

"Enough! Enough! More than expected, haha!" Li Mu laughed joyfully, then using Divine Sense manipulated the silver metal liquid separately from the refining furnace, letting it cool aside.

Li Mu focused mainly on the Ruyi Stone shards, pinching spells, and inputting Spiritual Power into the refining furnace, fully aiding the furnace in drawing the fire, raising the furnace's internal temperature.

Without a higher-tier Spiritual Fire, refining even a small amount of Tier Five Ruyi Stone was no easy task.

Time flew by, and soon, a night had passed.

The Ruyi Stone in the furnace finally began to show signs of liquefaction. Upon seeing this, Li Mu quickly retrieved the Illusion Realm Spirit Pearl, placing it into the refining furnace, using Divine Sense to manipulate the softened Ruyi Stone to envelop the Illusion Realm Spirit Pearl.

The Illusion Realm Spirit Pearl originally formed from condensing a World Stone, inherently creating a Void Realm, hiding the Nine Dao. In terms of storage, it didn't need extensive refining; however, Li Mu was not satisfied, added Ruyi Stone, used the Divine Refining Technique, and further added a Spiritual Artifact Base Array to it.

Micro Spiritual Artifacts couldn't use a Spirit-Injection Hammer to condense Artifact Patterns. Li Mu pinch spell gestures, outputting True Essence Spiritual Power on the Spirit Pearl Artifact Embryo, condensing Artifact Patterns.

The first Artifact Pattern: Spirit Taming

The second Artifact Pattern: Hidden Objects

The third Artifact Pattern: Hidden Body

...

The Spirit Pearl Artifact Embryo shone with spirit light magnificently; one pattern after another condensed, all patterns were inclined towards non-attack, non-defensive, concealed spirit breath, like Ruyi-follow-heart patterns.

The fifteenth Artifact Pattern: Illusion, once condensed, the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl achieved the level of a Tier Four High-Grade Spiritual Artifact.

Seeing its fiercely shining spirit light and unstable aura, Li Mu's expression tightened, quickly halting the condensation of Artifact Patterns.

Afterward, Li Mu's Divine Sense immediately dove into it, refined the Spirit Pearl, and with a thought...

"Swish," the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl immediately flew to Li Mu's front, flickering with spirit light vigorously, then swiftly dulled, reverting to ordinary, becoming a gray Stone Bead.

Li Mu smiled slightly, took out eight different-sized Storage Bags from his chest, opened one, and emptied a heap of bottles and jars, dozens to hundreds of pill bottles, as well as various Jade Boxes and a micro Spiritual Ship.

This was specifically for storing various Spirit Pills, Grain Avoidance Pills, Spirit Feeding Pills, spirit plant seeds, and the Spiritual Objects that Shopkeeper Wang helped him prepare.

Li Mu's Divine Sense attached to the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, the floating gray Spirit Pearl flashed a spirit light, gliding towards those Spiritual Objects on the ground, and with a "swish," bottles, jars, various Jade Boxes, Spiritual Objects were all swiftly absorbed into one Void Realm of the Spirit Pearl.

Li Mu could clearly 'see' within the Spirit Pearl's Void Realm; a thought could extract the corresponding Spiritual Objects, using it as conveniently as the Storage Compartment, unlike using Storage Bags, where opening Storage Bags and inputting Divine Sense added an extra process.

With the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl's proficient storing and retrieving abilities, Li Mu was thrilled, swiftly transferring the Spiritual Objects from the other Storage Bags to the nine Void Realms of the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl categorically.

Using a minute amount of Tier Five Ruyi Stone in the refinement, the size and shape of the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl could slightly change. Li Mu injected a tiny amount of True Essence Spiritual Power, changing it into a simple Pearl Silver Ring, wearing it on his right index finger.

Next, Li Mu activated the Earth Fire Refining Furnace and proceeded with the refining of Spiritual Artifacts.
