Watching the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon leave, Li Mu quickly summoned the Chi Lian Fire Phoenix, asking it to bring out the Extreme Yin Celestial Fire from the Celestial Fire Tripod.

"Chirp!"

The Extreme Yang Celestial Fire transformed into a little purple-gold fire phoenix, spreading its fiery wings and circling around Li Mu.

"Do me a favor, see if you can get rid of these blood patterns!"

Li Mu raised his arm, revealing the bizarre blood-colored patterns on his body, and immediately thought of using the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire to extract these strange blood patterns.

"Chirp chirp!"

The Extreme Yin Celestial Fire tilted its little head, its eyes gleaming, and called out to Li Mu.

"I know! You little glutton! Even greedier than Xiaobai."

Li Mu laughed and scolded, then retrieved a piece of Tier Five Mars Spiritual Material from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl and fed it to the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire.

"Chirp chirp!"

The little purple-gold fire phoenix swallowed it in one gulp and chirped twice, seemingly dissatisfied with the grade of the spiritual material.

"If you think the quality is low, you don’t have to eat it! You’ve already eaten the spiritual material, now get to work!"

Li Mu didn’t pamper it, urged it, and simultaneously operated the Yin Yang Five Elements Scripture to summon the Five Elements Spirit Fire, helping the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire to eliminate the blood pattern on his body.

The little purple-gold fire phoenix spread its wings, dove into Li Mu’s body, and controlled the flames to begin refining the blood-colored patterns without harming him.

Soon, the blood-colored patterns on Li Mu’s arm and back rapidly dissolved under the refining of the Tier Seven Extreme Yang Celestial Flame.

Vaguely, as the blood patterns dissolved, a mysterious power burst forth, accompanied by a piercing wail, as if from a distant Divine Demon World.

...

Thousands of miles away, on a nameless island, inside a blood-colored hall, Hong San, who had self-destructed his body, had his primordial spirit soaking in a blood pool, with endless blood qi merging into it, aiding the recovery of his primordial spirit.

Hong Shuang, dressed in a pink palace robe, stood guard nearby, her face gloomy and exuding formidable evil qi.

Hong San’s fate was self-inflicted, but as his sister, Hong Shuang would not let it rest at this; she would fully support his revenge after he recovered.

Just as Hong Shuang was thinking about helping her brother’s revenge, Hong San’s recovering body in the blood pool suddenly showed a rapidly diminishing calm breath, and his primordial spirit was incessantly shaking!

"The essence is diminishing; damn you, Hong San, what did you do with your life essence!"

Seeing this, Hong Shuang’s face changed drastically. After a brief hesitation, she immediately cast a spell, pouring out a bloody primordial force toward the precarious state of Hong San’s primordial spirit.

Soon, Hong San’s primordial spirit gradually stabilized; however, due to the output of her origin qi, Hong Shuang was seriously depleted and her face turned pale.

...

On Crescent Island, with the assistance of the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire, the strange blood patterns affixed to Li Mu’s body were completely destroyed, leaving no further worries.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled with relief, the previous worry on his face was gone. He had thought that these mysterious blood patterns would be as troublesome as the Immortal Demonic Qi and difficult to remove.

Fortunately, the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire was effective, and after a bit of effort, it was cleansed thoroughly.

"Chirp chirp!"

Seeing Li Mu’s happiness, the little purple-gold fire phoenix chirped triumphantly at Li Mu, seeking a reward.

Now free of worries, Li Mu was in high spirits, laughed heartily, and retrieved another piece of Tier Five Fire Spiritual Material from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, tossing it to the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire.

"Chirp!"

The little purple-gold fire phoenix chirped happily, catching the Fire Element Crystal precisely, diving headfirst into the Celestial Fire Tripod of the Chi Lian Fire Phoenix, and went off to enjoy its delicacy.

"Chi Lian, everything’s fine now, you can go about your business!" Li Mu called out to the Chi Lian Fire Phoenix with a smile.

The Chi Lian Fire Phoenix nodded, retracted the Celestial Fire Tripod, and with a flap of its wings, headed towards its own Phoenix Nest. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

After watching it leave, Li Mu’s figure flickered, appearing next to the Spirit Field.

Seeing the growth of two thousand acres of Purple Sun Reishi and Yin Soul Fruit seedlings, an uncontrollable smile spread on Li Mu’s face.

Under the Yin Yang Primordial Array, the seedlings of both spirit plants had excellent growth, showing no signs of wilting or disease.

Li Mu took a box of Purple Sun Jade and a bottle of Taihua Moon Dew from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, starting to supplement the spirit materials for the growth support of the two Tier Four Yin Yang Spirit Plant seedlings. He then proceeded to replace the spiritual stones consumed by the array operation, with thousands of top-grade spirit stones.

After a busy round, Li Mu pinched the Clear Wind Rain Summoning Skill, calling forth a large cloud, bringing down a refreshing spirit rain.

After the spirit rain, the two thousand acres of Purple Sun Reishi and Yin Soul Fruit seedlings appeared even more vibrant under the nourishment of spiritual qi.

Tens of thousands of spiritual plant seedlings grew rapidly under the protection of the Yin Yang Primordial Array, as if responding to Li Mu’s meticulous care.

Watching the scene of lush vitality and good growth of the spirit plants, Li Mu was filled with satisfaction, his figure quickly disappearing from the original location, entering the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion to tend to the Tier Four Five Elements Spirit Plants.

The seven kinds of Tier Four Spirit Plants were planted in a total of a thousand acres each, along with other high-tier spirit plants in the Treasure Mansion Space, with the total scale not less than ten thousand acres, requiring a considerable amount of time to tend from beginning to end.

Luckily, Li Mu was now an experienced Spirit Plant Cultivator, with all his Spirit Plant Cultivator skills at full level, and possessing a Level 6 Array Formation Technique and strong divine thoughts, which greatly assisted him in taking care of the spirit plants.

What once required a lot of time and energy to care for, the management of spirit plants could now be completed in three to four days each month.

The higher the grade of the spirit plants, the more demanding the environment they required for growth, but once the necessary growth environment was established, care became less laborious, unlike low-tier spirit plants that needed daily spirit rain watering and pest removal.

Four days passed in a flash.

Li Mu prepared to leave the island with the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon, heading into the open sea to hunt demon beasts.

The Cyan Jade Ginseng King, the Chi Lian Fire Phoenix, and the Jade-Eyed Long-armed Ape all appeared like students submitting assignments, standing in a line, submitting the spiritual artifacts, spirit pills, puppets, and spirit talismans they had crafted during this period to Li Mu for instruction and evaluation.

Li Mu squinted slightly, with a gentle smile, starting to evaluate the spiritual objects they had refined one by one.

"Ginseng King, the batch of puppets you’ve crafted is not bad; it shows a bit of my true inheritance, with an overall appropriate arrangement of the puppet patterns, but your broader perspective is still lacking. Look, if you rearrange the results of the hidden pattern, feather pattern, and spirit guide pattern, can’t you add the protective spirit pattern, enhancing spirit pattern here, ...."

"Moreover, the precision of the puppet core’s engraving could be improved. Is it a divine thought issue? No! No! You are already capable of divine thought like a needle; this isn’t a problem of divine thought, it’s due to the layout, ...."

...

With Li Mu’s guidance, the Cyan Jade Ginseng King showed a thoughtful expression, occasionally showing an epiphany, occasionally looking dejected, accepting the criticism. Despite having thousands of years of age, it was like a human student eager for progress, absorbing the knowledge imparted by Li Mu with a hunger for understanding.

"Chi Lian, the few Tier Five spiritual artifacts you’ve crafted are good, probably due to Extreme Yang guiding you! They have a taste of being naturally formed into artifacts, but there’s still a shortfall in the momentum needed to birth an innate artifact spirit, ...,"

"For a spiritual artifact to birth an innate artifact spirit, the most core foundation is the artifact array. Through the artifact array’s operation of the artifact momentum, the power of the spirit is formed, ...."

"The Artifact Refining Skill helps in comprehending the Dao of Fire Manipulation, such as the fire-attribute spiritual artifact you’ve refined. Before forming the artifact array and constructing the artifact momentum during refining, you could try infusing your understanding of the Dao of Fire Manipulation, to attempt nurturing an artifact spirit with innate fire momentum."

"And with this wind spiritual artifact, fire borrows wind momentum, and wind pushes fire momentum; here too, you could incorporate your understanding of the Dao of Fire Manipulation."

"When you look at this Tier Four water-attribute spiritual artifact, why assume that conflicting attributes can’t borrow fire momentum! Your view is too narrow; the momentum of water and fire, despite their differences and similarities, also shares common aspects, ...."

...

After teaching the Cyan Jade Ginseng King in puppet refining and spirit pill crafting, Li Mu continued to comment on the spiritual artifacts refined by the Chi Lian Fire Phoenix. With the assistance of the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire, the quality of the spiritual artifacts crafted by the Chi Lian Fire Phoenix was a notch higher, and Li Mu began teaching the more profound Path of Artifact Refining, sharing his century-long artifact refining insights without reservation.

The eyes of the Chi Lian Fire Phoenix sparkled, deep in thought, while the other tamed beasts also fell into an epiphany.
