I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm-Chapter 277 - 184: Celestial Fire Furnace (Part 2)

Chapter 277: Chapter 184: Celestial Fire Furnace (Part 2)

Such opportunities will be discussed if encountered again in the future,

Li Mu does not plan to specifically search for the next Celestial Fire. For now, increasing cultivation and strengthening power is more important.

The Eightfold Celestial Fire Forging Method has been advanced to the third level, and the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire has also been collected. Li Mu decides to first familiarize himself with the First Heaven—Celestial Fire Furnace, this Artifact Refining Divine Technique, and attempt to use it for artifact refining.

As for the other two Artifact Refining Divine Techniques, Li Mu dares not use them. He needs to wait until his cultivation is elevated, or his spiritual energy is heightened, and he has a clearer understanding of the Great Dao Law before considering them.

Li Mu simulates in his mind the operational steps of the First Heaven Divine Technique—Celestial Fire Furnace of the Eightfold Celestial Fire Forging Method.

Immediately after, Li Mu’s hands quickly form techniques, displaying extremely intricate Artifact Refining Techniques in succession. Strands of spiritual power are then unleashed, and in just a few breaths, a three-dimensional Spiritual Power Seal is manifested in the void before him.

The Spiritual Power Seal floats in the air, emanating a wave of spirit light, swiftly resonating with the Purple Gold Fire Phoenix.

The Purple Gold Fire Phoenix, in its condensed form of Extreme Yang Celestial Fire, flapped a pair of fiery wings with agility, and then disintegrated in the air, transforming into specks of purple flame that merged into the Celestial Fire Spirit Seal Li Mu had formed.

The Celestial Fire Spirit Seal interconnects and responds in sequence, rhythmically pulsating. At this moment, the entire spirit seal seems to come alive, gradually congealing towards the markings, transforming into a purple flame furnace, condensing into form.

The Extreme Yang Celestial Fire, capable of melting all things, releases terrifying high temperatures, causing the temperature in the Artifact Refining Room to rise and gather, yet the temperature is entirely under Li Mu’s control.

The Perfection Level Spirit Taming Contract Seal grants Li Mu perfect control over Extreme Yang Spirit Fire, and this level of temperature poses no harm to the Tier Seven Spiritual Treasure manifested cave.

Li Mu continues forming techniques, infusing a large amount of spiritual power, making the fire from the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire grow increasingly fierce.

Li Mu’s eyes blaze with fire, his hands clasped together, he grips the void and shouts, "Eightfold Celestial Fire Hammer, Celestial Fire Furnace, condense for me!"

In the next instant, the endless Celestial Fire Seals surrounding him ceaselessly gather and merge in the air, instantly transforming into an entity image of a purple furnace tripod, gradually taking shape.

Sparkles of purple-golden firelight combine like stars in a line, materializing the furnace, furnace body, and furnace legs, and ultimately, they unite into one in the air.

For a moment, the Artifact Refining Room was bathed in a dazzling radiance, with a wondrous wave of Dao Essence undulating outward.

The purple-golden firelight shimmered, Li Mu could not help but squint his eyes, overwhelmed with joy.

Soon, as the purple-golden firelight converged, a dazzling, multi-layered, mysterious, purple-golden fire furnace with various celestial fire imprints all over its body floated mid-air within the Artifact Refining Room, exuding a mysterious and formidable aura.

Li Mu could distinctly feel a close spiritual energy wave emanating from the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace, and he smiled with delight!

"Good! Good! Excellent!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Li Mu happily praised repeatedly, unable to find words to adequately describe his current mood.

Having practiced artifact refining for decades, Li Mu has produced countless Spiritual Artifacts, using both High Tier and Low Tier Refining Furnaces. He has encountered dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of Refining Furnaces, but even the Tier Six Celestial Void Tripod couldn’t offer this kind of feeling, a sensation as one with himself.

Feeling the peculiar nature of the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace, Li Mu was eager to begin refining his artifact.

Tier Five Celestial Fallen Spirit Gold, Ancient Dawn Refined Gold, Taiyi Gold Stone, ...

Li Mu decides to first experiment by refining a Tier Five Gold Spirit Sword, retrieving various Tier Five Gold Element Refining Materials from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl and placing them into the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace under his Divine Thought’s guidance.

In the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace, the Refining Materials quickly melted.

Li Mu invested his Divine Thought into the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace, able to control the furnace’s temperature at will, determining the shape of the smelted materials, refining effects, and mixing degrees, ..., meanwhile multitasking, arranging Basic Arrays, Artifact Patterns in the Artifact Embryo materials, ...,

Various Tier Five Gold Element Refining Materials were put into the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace, in less than a hundred breaths, the impurities were removed, leaving the essence, refined by the celestial fire into a Golden Spirit Sword Embryo.

As Li Mu was about to extract the embryo to condense Artifact Patterns on it, the Celestial Fire Spirit within the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace actively shared a wisp of Supreme Yang Fire, which flew out and condensed into a fire hammer,

The fire hammer circled Li Mu, emitting a cheerful hum, gently nudging Li Mu as though it understood the master’s intent, eager to continue assisting Li Mu in refining.

Seeing this scene, Li Mu smiled knowingly, filled with joy.

Considering the assistance of the Celestial Fire Spirit, perhaps there is no need for Xiaobai to threaten the Demon Beast Essence Soul, it might proactively integrate itself into becoming an Artifact Spirit.

Thus, Li Mu invested his Divine Sense in the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl to select a suitable Demon Beast Essence Soul stored within it.

In refining a Tier Five Gold Spiritual Artifact, it is most appropriate to use a Gold Element Demon Beast Essence Soul, but Li Mu’s stock of Demon Beast Essence Souls is limited, and Tier Five ones are even rarer. Even after acquiring all of the Nine Nether Demon Venerable’s spoils, no suitable target could be found.

Li Mu sighed, eventually taking out a Tier Four Red Flame Golden Lion Essence Soul.

He retrieved the Soul Absorption Bottle and opened it. Upon release, the Red Flame Golden Lion Essence Soul attempted a swift escape from the area.

"Hmm! Where do you think you’re going?"

Li Mu coldly snorted, intending to reach out with a grasping claw. The next second, the hovering fire hammer abruptly shot out at incredible speed.

The fire hammer sprayed a wall of fire, blocking the path of the Red Flame Golden Lion Essence Soul.

"Ack!"

The Red Flame Golden Lion Essence Soul, flustered and scared, shrank into a ball, immensely fearing the purple-golden flames, not daring to touch them in the slightest.

Celestial Fire, as the ultimate yang object, restrains yin objects like essence souls. Realizing this, Li Mu was filled with joy.

With Xiaobai still in slumber, Li Mu had been troubled over how to persuade Demon Beast Essence Souls to obediently become Artifact Spirits in future refinements, but the attributes of the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire resolved this issue effortlessly.

No wonder Celestial Fire is the lifelong pursuit of Artifact Refiners; with its aid, refining a Pseudo-Spiritual Treasure should no longer pose any difficulty!

Under Li Mu’s guidance, the Celestial Fire Spirit projected an aura of threat, compelling the Red Flame Golden Lion Essence Soul to merge into the Artifact Embryo and willingly become its Artifact Spirit.

How could the Red Flame Golden Lion Essence Soul dare defy such terrorizing power of Celestial Fire? A mere contact would incinerate its soul entirely. The Red Flame Golden Lion Beast Soul obediently complied, diving into the Artifact Embryo, integrating into it.

Witnessing this, Li Mu was overjoyed, and next, he only needed to condense Artifact Patterns, completing this artifact refinement.

Li Mu infused strand after strand of spiritual power into the ’Golden Longsword’ floating mid-air, condensing the Artifact Embryo.

In the Artifact Refining Room, spirit light flared repeatedly, and in the blink of an eye, one Artifact Pattern was formed, followed by a second, a third, a fourth, ..., altogether, Li Mu condensed twenty Artifact Patterns for the Tier Five Gold Element Longsword. Finally, he injected a surge of spiritual power, with his Divine Thought reaching the core of the Artifact Array, instantly refining it.

The Golden Spirit Sword emitted a resonant chime, instantly transforming into a nimble Golden Lion, surprisingly ingratiating itself by leaping onto Li Mu’s shoulder, behaving most obediently.

The Tier Five Top-Grade Pseudo-Spiritual Treasure was thus refined!

With the assistance of the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace, this artifact refinement undoubtedly became Li Mu’s most relaxed and pleasurable refining experience to date. Refining a Tier Five Top-Grade Pseudo-Spiritual Treasure proved to be effortlessly light, with no sign of spiritual fatigue.

Li Mu grinned widely, storing the Tier Five Gold Element Spirit Sword into the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl.

The Eightfold Celestial Fire Forging Method indeed lives up to being a Celestial Tier Refining Technique! Truly marvelous!

Even the Artifact Refining Divine Techniques of the First Heaven elevated Li Mu’s success rate in refining Tier Five Top-Grade Spiritual Artifacts to over ninety percent, without any former post-refining spiritual exhaustion.

What powers could the Artifact Refining Divine Techniques of the Second Heaven, the Third Heaven endow Spiritual Artifacts with!

The wondrous sensation Li Mu experienced from this artifact refinement made him unwilling to stop, passionate to continue refining.

Previously, during the battle with the Nine Nether Demon Venerable, the spiritual energy of the five Five Elements Spirit Swords was severely damaged, requiring a period of recuperation for recovery, so Li Mu decided to take this opportunity to refine five substitute Tier Five Five-Element Spirit Swords.

Additionally, the Five Elements Spiritual Treasure Mount Tai had its body destroyed during the process of subduing the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire, the Artifact Array suffered minor damage, and its spiritual energy greatly diminished. Li Mu resolved to reforge ’Mount Tai.’

Li Mu cast his Divine Thought into the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, searching for suitable refining materials.
