Very soon, under Gongsun Chu's enthusiastic welcome, the two settled down in the reception room.
"Master Li, please taste this. It's the most famous Qingxu Spirit Tea of Qing Xuan Sect, with the effect of strengthening the spirit and nurturing the soul." Gongsun Chu smiled, indicating Li Mu to savor the tea, introducing it.
Li Mu nodded with a smile, picked up his teacup, and began to taste it carefully.
Tier Three Qingxu Spirit Tea—Li Mu also has ten acres planted on Moon Pearl Peak, just because of its effectiveness in strengthening the spirit and nurturing the soul.
However, to satisfy the growth environment of Qingxu Spirit Tea, Li Mu has put quite some effort into this. Qingxu Spirit Tea needs to be planted in a top-grade Spirit Field, filled with Cyan Wood Spirit Qi, and nurtured under the company of a Void Spirit Snake, in order to grow smoothly.
The first two conditions are easy to satisfy. Li Mu set up a Cyan Wood Elemental Array, and with the consumption of a large amount of Spirit Stone Bags, he continuously replenished the ten acres of top-grade Spirit Field with Cyan Wood Spirit Qi. The Void Spirit Snake is a Tier Three unique Spirit Beast; Li Mu paid a considerable rental fee and owed someone a favor to lease it from an Elder of the Sect, which was not easy.
Upon entrance, the Qingxu Spirit Tea exudes a Light Spirit Pill Fragrance, sweet and incomparable, transforming into streams of warm currents towards the Sea of Consciousness. With the Divine Soul sharpened, it feels very comfortable, easing the tense nerves from recent Artifact Refining, Array Formation, and other things, removing the feeling of fatigue.
"Good tea!" Li Mu smiled contentedly, praising.
With the stimulation from Qingxu Spirit Tea, washing the soul as if it were, Li Mu also felt that he had been too tense recently, too eager to achieve something, and hadn't set aside the work at hand to relax his mind and truly experience life.
"If Master Li likes it, you may take some with you later." Gongsun Chu looked at Li Mu with a smile, enthusiastically suggesting.
"Great! I won't be shy then. If there's any Refining arrangement in the Pavilion, Shopkeeper Gongsun, just instruct me." Li Mu nodded with a smile, expressing gratitude.
"Certainly! In five days, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion will host the triennial auction. I'm worried that there's no top-grade Spiritual Artifact to make a grand showing. Master Li, your arrival is just perfect. Could you refine a batch of top-grade Spiritual Artifacts for the auction? The refining commission will increase by 5% on top of the existing base. Master Li, if you need any auxiliary cultivation materials, feel free to let me know, and I will make arrangements. For the Spiritual Objects you produce for Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, a 10% discount will be applied on top of the existing benefits." Gongsun Chu looked at Li Mu, generously offering benefits.
Upon hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help but be moved. This female shopkeeper has much more courage compared to that guy, Wang Wenbao. Last time, Wan Wenbao, although he gave an extra 10% commission for refining, in the end, he found excuses about cash flow issues and replaced it with materials, deducting it back.
Gongsun Chu is different; she slightly increased the refining commission by 5%, and simultaneously offered discounts on materials, providing comprehensive benefits.
"Alright! What type of Spiritual Artifacts need refining? Provide me with the materials and the list. I'll try to finish them in the next few days, but I need your help in gathering the materials I require." Li Mu nodded, indicating to Gongsun Chu.
"Okay! I'll make arrangements later. Master Li, any materials you need, just let me know." Gongsun Chu nodded gladly, smiling.
"Purple Sun Jade, Supreme Profound Moon Dew, Celestial Vein True Water, Illusionary Spirit Soil, ..., do these Spiritual Materials have stock in the Pavilion?" Li Mu asked in one breath naming over ten types of Tier Three and Four Spiritual Materials, looking at Gongsun Chu.
These Spiritual Materials are mostly prepared for the 330 acres of high-tier Spirit Plants on Moon Pearl Peak, especially Purple Sun Jade and Supreme Profound Moon Dew, which have all been exchanged from Qing Xuan Sect's contribution warehouse. Having no choice, he came to Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion for preparation.
Gongsun Chu frowned, showing a peculiar expression.
"What's wrong! Is there a problem?" Li Mu looked at Gongsun Chu, concernedly asking.
"To be honest, Master Li, there are stocks in the Pavilion's warehouse. However, Purple Sun Jade and Supreme Profound Moon Dew are being sought by several True Disciples of Qing Xuan Sect. These two Spiritual Objects are key auction items this time. If you're not in urgent need, can you wait a bit longer? Purple Sun Jade is produced in Celestial South Realm - Purple Sun Mountain, while Supreme Profound Moon Dew is produced in Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region, Moonlight Island. We just need to wait a while to have them brought in." Gongsun Chu explained to Li Mu.
Upon hearing this, Li Mu was slightly surprised, not expecting that Qing Xuan Sect's warehouse lacked Purple Sun Jade and Supreme Profound Moon Dew, leading those True Disciples to come to Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
This situation seems like something he unintentionally created!
He already has quite a stockpile, so he shouldn't compete further with those True Disciples.
"I'm not in urgent need; I still have a batch of stock available, can wait a bit longer. However, how long will it take to bring these two Spiritual Objects over?" Li Mu waved casually, inquiring with concern.
"Approximately three months is required. Will that be timely, Master Li? At that time, how much you require, I'll strive to bring it over for you." Gongsun Chu looked at Li Mu, indicating affectionately.
"Alright! You can bring in as much Purple Sun Jade and Supreme Profound Moon Dew as possible. I need at least the amount equivalent to five million Middle Spirit Stone. If Spirit Stones fall short, I'll be working for Shopkeeper Gongsun!" Li Mu laughed while indicating to Gongsun Ce.
"Good!" Gongsun Chu's eyes narrowed in a smile, nodding in agreement.
They chatted some more about refining matters for about an hour. Li Mu received a batch of high-tier refining materials and left Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, flying with Sword Control towards Moon Pearl Peak.
Every day, Li Mu has to keep an eye on the Spirit Plants of Moon Pearl Peak, having no time to stay in the Spiritual Artifact Workshop of Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion for refining.
"Shopkeeper, you just let Master Li take several million worth of refining materials like that! What if he doesn't return,…"
Gongsun Chu and a few shopkeepers warmly escorted Li Mu away from Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Among them, a steward asked worryingly.
