I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 667 - 362: Task Submission (2)

Seeing this scene, Li Mu smiled wryly, and solemnly put it away, before setting off to leave the Sect Leader’s Mansion. He prepared to take the fifteen Tier Six Spirit Swords he had refined over the past three months to Sword Concealment Peak’s Contribution Hall to deliver the task.

————

Sword Concealment Peak, Contribution Hall.

Li Mu stood on a Flying Sword, cutting through the sky like a meteor, straight to the front of the Contribution Hall. He wore the unified green robe of the Sect, with his clothes fluttering, resembling a carefree Sword Immortal.

Qiu Changming stood in front of the hall and saw Li Mu’s silhouette approaching from afar, showing a warm smile on his face.

"Elder Li, what brings you to the Contribution Hall today? Could it be that the artifact refining task has been completed?" Qiu Changming greeted him with a slight tease in his voice, yet it revealed deep admiration for Li Mu.

Months ago, Li Mu had taken on fifteen artifact refining commissions in one go from him. Qiu Changming was a bit surprised at the time, knowing Li Mu still had two Array Formation tasks, and he couldn’t help but be curious as to why he was so eager to take on so many artifact refining commissions.

However, Qiu Changming also understood that the Profound Celestial Sword Sect had long lacked an Artifact Refining Grandmaster. The commissions for Tier Six Spirit Swords were piling up, and Li Mu’s willingness to take on these artifact refining tasks was undoubtedly a great boon for the Sect, naturally welcomed and unimpeded.

Li Mu smiled and nodded, responding calmly: "Indeed, Elder Qiu, I am indeed here to deliver the artifact refining commissions!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu extended his hand in a gesture, and the fifteen Tier Six Spirit Swords in the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl were summoned instantly, releasing from the Spirit Pearl and floating in the air. These Spirit Swords were not motionless but appeared in their spiritualized state, as if they had life at the moment.

Some swam through the air like agile fish, others soared lightly like sparrows, and some transformed into artifact spirit shapes of small beasts, playfully circling and frolicking around Li Mu. Occasionally, fierce Sword Intent burst from them like lightning cutting through the sky, causing a heart-thumping reaction.

A grand and spectacular scene unfolded before his eyes. Qiu Changming’s eyes widened in shock, glowing with a dazzling brilliance.

He couldn’t imagine that Li Mu had refined so many Tier Six Spirit Swords of such high quality in such a short time. This artifact refining skill had reached an astonishing level!

"This..." Qiu Changming couldn’t help but swallow, looking at Li Mu and asking in a trembling voice: "Elder Li, did you refine all these Spirit Swords?"

"Yes, Elder Qiu, please proceed with the task handover!" Li Mu smiled and nodded, then undid the Elder Token from his waist and respectfully handed it over.

"Good! Good!" Qiu Changming accepted the Elder Token, feeling extremely excited within.

Then, Qiu Changming summoned all fifteen Tier Six Spirit Swords into his hand, beginning to settle the Sect task for Li Mu, crediting Li Mu’s Elder Token with 1.5 million Contribution Points.

"Elder Li, the quality and quantity of this batch of Spirit Swords you refined have far exceeded expectations. You’ve made significant contributions to the Sect, truly commendable for your hard work!" Qiu Changming took a deep look at Li Mu and sincerely expressed his gratitude as he returned the Elder Token to Li Mu.

"Elder Qiu, you flatter me. The refining of these Spirit Swords was made possible with the Sect’s support and the materials provided by the Contribution Hall. I merely exerted my own effort." Li Mu humbly smiled as he accepted the Elder Token.

With this batch of contributions, he could exchange for High-tier Spirit Seeds, spiritual materials to assist Spirit Plants’ growth, and finally bring the cultivation of High-tier Spirit Plants onto the agenda. Li Mu couldn’t help but feel elated.

"Hahaha, Elder Li, you’re too modest. These fifteen Tier Six Spirit Swords will be distributed to the Sect Elders for use. With the addition of these Spirit Swords, our Sect’s strength will undoubtedly rise to a higher level!" Qiu Changming laughed heartily, his excitement written all over his face.

Currently, the Profound Celestial Sword Sect was in a precarious situation. To the south, the threat of the Nine Demons Sect and Demon Abyssal Forces loomed constantly, always seeking opportunities to invade the Central State Spirit Realm. To the north, the invasion of the Northern Domain Demon Race was also a major concern for the Sect, ready to breach the Sect’s defensive line at any moment. To the east, provocations from rival sects further strained the Sect; meanwhile, within the Central State Spirit Realm, other Cultivation Clans and forces like the Taiyi Sect were eyeing the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, ready to strike at any slip.

More seriously, the Sect’s two Daoist Monarch-level powerhouses were preoccupied with matters in the Outer Realm, unable to fully protect the Sect, rendering the Profound Celestial Sword Sect somewhat helpless in facing the encircling crisis.

However, it was under such dire circumstances that the batch of high-tier Spirit Swords refined by Li Mu offered a turning point for the Sect. With the empowerment of these Spirit Swords, fifteen Sect Elders would see a significant enhancement in combat power. They would become the most solid backing for the Sect, playing a more crucial role in battles.

Thinking of this, Qiu Changming’s gaze at Li Mu was filled with admiration and gratitude. He regarded Li Mu like a precious gem.

"Elder Li, would you still be willing to refine Spirit Swords?" Qiu Changming asked Li Mu expectantly, "I still have quite a few artifact refining commissions here. If you can take them on, both Sect Contribution and refining remuneration are not issues!"

"Hmm! I’ll take another batch!" Li Mu pondered slightly and responded gladly.

The Profound Celestial Sword Sect’s exchange vault was not only rich in High-tier Spirit Seeds but also overflowing with various High-tier Auxiliary Spiritual Objects, valuable beyond measure. Sect Contribution is naturally beneficial.

Besides using Spirit Plants for cultivation purposes, awakening the Artifact Spirit of the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion sooner, as well as the growth of several tamed beasts, required a substantial amount of spiritual material resources. Therefore, Li Mu would not refuse Qiu Changming’s artifact refining task commissions.

Soon, under Qiu Changming’s arrangement, Li Mu took on another fifteen artifact refining commissions.

After receiving a Storage Ring full of Tier Six Refining Spiritual Materials, Li Mu looked at Qiu Changming and suddenly asked, "Elder Qiu, may I publish a task commission?"

Qiu Changming was taken aback by the words, then nodded with a smile, saying, "Of course, no problem, Elder Li. Whatever you need, feel free to mention, the Sect will do its best to meet your needs."

In the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, Sect tasks weren’t solely issued by the Sect itself. In fact, the Sect encouraged disciples to use their Sect Contribution to issue tasks to other Sect disciples. This mechanism not only facilitated communication and cooperation among the disciples but also made the Sect’s tasks more diverse and rich.

The Profound Celestial Sword Sect’s millions of disciples were scattered throughout the Central State Spirit Realm, forming a vast force network. Whenever a disciple issued a task commission, the task would quickly spread throughout the entire Sect, attracting the attention and participation of many disciples.

Li Mu was well aware of this, so he decided to utilize this mechanism to publish his task commission to the entire Sect. He believed that with the Sect’s support and the help of the disciples, he would certainly complete the Dao Heart oath he promised before the Tianyan Divine Monarch sooner.

Li Mu detailed his task commission to Qiu Changming, commissioning the collection of a Tier Seven Spirit Plant known as "Reversing Death Spirit Grass."

Qiu Changming furrowed his brows slightly at the unfamiliar name of the Spirit Plant, pondered for a moment, then looked at Li Mu somewhat uncertainly and asked, "Reversing Death Spirit Grass? I really have no impression of such a high-tier Spirit Plant. Does it really exist in this world?"

"Yes, Elder Qiu, I once saw the Spirit Seed of this plant in the Contribution Vault, but unfortunately, there was no mature specimen. I believe that as long as someone is willing to search, they will be able to find such a Spirit Plant." Li Mu responded eagerly.

"Mm! No problem, then. I’ll register this task for you. However, this is a commission for gathering a Tier Seven Spirit Plant, estimated to require 300,000 Contribution Points, Elder Li, is that okay?" Qiu Changming nodded slightly upon hearing this and, with a serious expression, looked at Li Mu and asked.

"No problem, if the plant can be obtained, I’m willing to pay 300,000 Contribution Points as a reward." Li Mu nodded gladly.

For Li Mu, the Reversing Death Spirit Grass holds significant meaning. It concerns the Dao Heart oath he made before the Tianyan Divine Monarch, a vow that represents an inescapable duty for him, one he must exhaust all efforts to fulfill. Being able to complete this task with 300,000 Contribution Points would be ideal for Li Mu.

"Great! I’ll distribute this task widely, and with the disciples keeping an eye out, there should be results soon." Qiu Changming nodded and smiled as he registered the task for Li Mu, making a gesture of acknowledgment.

"Thank you, Elder Qiu!" Li Mu expressed his gratitude and then bid farewell with a ceremonial gesture.

After parting with Qiu Changming, Li Mu headed straight to the Contribution Exchange Vault, intending to exchange for the batch of High-tier Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Seeds and the high-tier spiritual materials needed to aid the growth of Spirit Plants.
