Looking again at the surveillance puppets scattered around, this Master Li is not only proficient in artifact refining but also has quite an exquisite skill in the art of puppetry!

"Master Li, you're overly concerned; it was my abruptness!" Yun Xiaozhi put away his dismissive attitude, smiled slightly, and responded politely.

"Red Wolf, go play elsewhere!" Li Mu kicked away the oblivious Red Wolf. It was clear to everyone that the person in front was someone not to be provoked; showing fear as if unable to decide whether to advance or retreat—who was this display for anyway.

Li Mu gestured invitingly toward Yun Xiaozhi and warmly said, "Elder, please come inside!"

Yun Xiaozhi nodded and followed Li Mu into the reception hall, and the two of them sat apart.

Li Mu quickly brewed Spirit Tea and brought out Spirit Fruit to entertain.

"Master Li, no need for such courtesy. I have come with a request, hoping that Master Li will help to refine a Spiritual Artifact. The reward is sure to satisfy Master Li." Yun Xiaozhi looked at Li Mu, directly getting to the point.

"Hmm! I wonder, what kind of Spiritual Artifact does the elder wish to refine? As far as I know, there are quite a few Artifact Refining Masters in Qing Xuan Sect, aren't there!" Li Mu nodded, curiously asking.

"Indeed, but going back and forth would take too long. The matter at hand cannot wait, so I can only ask for Master Li's assistance!" Yun Xiaozhi nodded with a smile and continued to introduce, "Recently, a Tier Four Single-Horned Flood Dragon Python was discovered at the Cyan Dragon Valley beneath Lingtian Peak. Master Li is aware, isn't he?"

"Hmm! Have heard a bit, Elder Yun, have you come to eliminate it for this reason?" Li Mu suddenly realized and followed his words.

"Exactly, that Single-Horned Flood Dragon Python is extremely cunning, taking advantage of the terrain. At even the slightest danger, it escapes into the hidden pathways of pools, slippery and elusive, truly hard to root out. Therefore, I wish to rely on Master Li's hand to refine an artifact to decisively conquer it and completely resolve this beast." Yun Xiaozhi nodded with a confident smile and said.

Li Mu frowned, truly wondering what kind of Spiritual Artifact could decisively conquer the situation.

"Master Li, please have a look!" Yun Xiaozhi smiled slightly, took out a Jade Box from his Storage Bag, and exhibited the Spirit Grass inside.

Li Mu fixed his gaze, and in his eyes, within the Jade Box lay a blood-red grass of four inches long, filled with vibrant Blood Qi, surrounded by a circle of red blood mist, with a 'tiny blood-colored dragon' coiling within the faint blood mist, possessing extremely strong Spiritual Energy.

Under the Innate Divine Power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, the detailed information about this spiritual material was clearly displayed on the character panel.

[Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass]

[Grade: Tier Five Spirit Plants]

[Attributes: Refined Bloodline, Blood Spirit Abundance, Dragon Qi Self-generated]

[Status: Lack of Flood Dragon Breath, Spirit Power Nourishment, Spiritual Energy diminishing.]

[Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass, Tier Five Spirit Plants, three hundred years of Medicinal Spirit, born with the breath of the Dragon Corpse, enhancing the bloodline of the Flood Dragon Python Spirit Beast and assisting in realm elevation, one of the main materials for refining Dragon Transformation Pill.]

Li Mu felt his spirit invigorated, unexpectedly seeing a Tier Five Spirit Plant for the first time so suddenly.

"This Spirit Grass? What's its relation to artifact refining?" Li Mu forced himself to calm down, looking at Yun Xiaozhi and asked, puzzled.

"This is a Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass, something I chanced upon in Cloud Dragon Secret Realm, always not knowing how to use it. This time dealing with the Single-Horned Flood Dragon Python, it just happens to be useful. This Spirit Grass holds a lethal attraction to flood dragon python and snake demon-like Demon Beasts. I plan to use this grass to lure it out and then take the opportunity to capture it, the only thing missing is the Spiritual Artifact to capture the Single-Horned Flood Dragon Python." Yun Xiaozhi detailed the introduction.

He then swung his hand, opening the Storage Bag, and a large piece of milky white ore and dozens of blood-colored crystal stones, hundreds of golden ores, ..., all flew out of the Storage Bag, suspended in mid-air.

Yun Xiaozhi solemnly introduced to Li Mu: "Master Li, these are high-tier refining materials I have collected for a long time, a piece of Tier Five Ruyi Stone, weighing about seven pounds eight ounces, thirty pounds of Tier Four Blood Evil Spirit Crystal, fifty pounds of Tier Four Star Meteorite Crystal, three hundred pounds of Tier Three Geng Metal, ..., hoping that Master Li will use these materials to refine a Seal Spiritual Artifact that can stretch and contract at will, change size like Ruyi, disguise as a leaf or stem of Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass without being detected by the Tier Four Flood Dragon Python."

Looking at the hundreds of pounds, thousands of pounds of various high-tier refining materials in front, hearing Yun Xiaozhi's request, Li Mu immediately understood his plan to hunt the Single-Horned Flood Dragon Python.

Yun Xiaozhi is planning to use this 'Ruyi' Spiritual Artifact, disguised as part of the Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass, then use the Spirit Grass to lure the Single-Horned Flood Dragon Python to consume, after which, to activate the artifact to restore its volume, resulting in the python bursting from inside out, or even capture the Tier Four Flood Dragon Python alive.

It's undeniable, this is an extremely successful entrapment plan.

The only key is whether a high-tier Spiritual Artifact with a great disguise that won't be detected by the Tier Four Single-Horned Flood Dragon Python can be refined.

"Master Li, this artifact is crucial to success, of utmost importance, do you think you have the confidence to refine it?" After presenting the refining thought, Yun Xiaozhi nervously looked at Li Mu, concernedly asking.

Yun Xiaozhi almost put his entire fortune into a stake, wagering everything for a game.

Having found a bloodline exceptional Tier Four Single-Horned Flood Dragon Python with great difficulty, Yun Xiaozhi happened to possess a high-tier Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass. Once this python is subdued, assisted with the medicinal power of the Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass, it will be only a matter of time before the Tier Four Single-Horned Flood Dragon Python promotes to Tier Five Flood Dragon.

Gaining a Tier Five Flood Dragon, Yun Xiaozhi would have more confidence in future promotion to Nascent Soul!

Entrusting this matter to a stranger Artifact Refiner, Yun Xiaozhi made a considerable resolution, yet was also a helpless act.

Even though Yun Xiaozhi is already a True Disciple of Qing Xuan Sect, he is not the only True Disciple within the sect. Every True Disciple needs to compete with other True Disciples for the sect's cultivation resources to prepare for promoting to Nascent Soul True Monarch and crossing the Thunder Tribulation.

Indeed, there is no shortage of Artifact Refining Masters within the sect, but they more or less have some relations with other True Disciples. Once they learn of his plan, undoubtedly unforeseen changes will occur.

Therefore, to successfully execute this plan, Yun Xiaozhi could only come to find Master Li, who recently became famous in Gangyang City, an Artifact Refining Master in the wild.

"Elder, to refine such a large piece of Tier Five Ruyi Stone, using Earth Fire Refining Furnace surely won't work. Without ten days or half a month, it can't be refined; it requires a high-tier Spirit Fire, at least a Tier Four Spirit Fire. I don't have one, but apart from that, the artifact elder wishes to refine isn't too hard to make. I have seventy percent confidence." Li Mu smiled slightly, indicating.

"Tier Four Spirit Fire, that's easy! You know where to find it, right? I'll help you get it!" Seventy percent confidence is already very high, Yun Xiaozhi's eyes lightened up, looking at Li Mu and asking.

Li Mu smiled slightly, pointing out the place where Shopkeeper Wang stored the Spirit Fire. After all, relying on the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, whether the Spirit Fire can be obtained is another matter. Fatty Wang is a businessman, always driven by profit, taking advantage of Yun Xiaozhi's hand to seize the Spirit Fire first.

"No problem, I'll go to get it for you. Anything else you need, just say it all; as long as you can refine this artifact, I'll do everything I can." Yun Xiaozhi excitedly looked at Li Mu, making a guarantee.

"After the Spiritual Artifact is successfully refined, I'll need the elder to give me that Spirit Fire. Also, I'll need to take this piece of Tier Four Profound Mystery Gold from these spirit ore materials, as compensation." Li Mu smiled slightly, asking Yun Xiaozhi.

"No problem, as long as you can refine this artifact, say what materials you want, I'll find them for you." Yun Xiaozhi agreed readily, nodding.

"These two are enough! Elder, go ahead to get the Spirit Fire! I'll prepare here, and we'll start refining once you're back." Li Mu smiled, waving his hand, indicating.

"Alright! Wait for me; I'll be back soon!" Yun Xiaozhi happily agreed, storing the refining materials and Dragon Transformation Spirit Grass back into the Storage Bag.

Immediately, Yun Xiaozhi flew out of the hall, rose in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared.

Watching Yun Xiaozhi leave, Li Mu pondered for a moment, proceeding to the Artifact Refining Room to set up a Grand Array. He, a Qi Refining Thirteenth Layer cultivator, if any unforeseen situation occurs, such as the other party trying to silence him in the future, can only rely on the Array.
