Lu Yuan examined the clearly designated rooms, noting that the walls of the seclusion room were etched with a Spirit Gathering Array to increase the concentration of Spiritual Energy.

After refining the Sword Shuttle, it would no longer consume much Divine Sense to maintain vigilance of external threats.

"Taiyi, your… talent for Artifact Refining isn't bad."

Lu Yuan even noticed a room specifically designed for cultivating spiritual materials, with a miniature sun suspended in midair, where arrays simulated day and night transitions.

After hesitating for a moment, he reluctantly accepted the Sword Shuttle.

After all, with a portable Cave Heaven Blessed Land at his disposal, even in the perilous Death Tomb, he could retreat at any time for recovery and rest.

Even the usually rigid Lu Yuan didn't refuse the Sword Shuttle, let alone Lei Gong and Chi Baicheng, whose expressions couldn't help but show traces of fervor.

Still, they were too embarrassed to ask the younger generation for one.

Besides, the value of the Sword Shuttle likely far exceeded ordinary Magic Treasures.

Dozens of Divine Separation Stage cultivators had absorbed Spiritual Energy in the seclusion room, yet the Spirit Gathering Array didn't falter even slightly—it was more than sufficient to support Void Refining Stage cultivation.

Lu Yuan couldn't get enough of the Sword Shuttle, murmuring to himself, "Calling it merely a Sword Shuttle isn't sufficient. Let's call it the Void Mustard Seed Sword Shuttle."

Li Mo's mouth twitched.

He refrained from telling Lu Yuan that, in the process of nurturing his Dan Seed, he casually destroyed over a dozen Sword Shuttles he had previously refined as nutrient.

Lei Gong nodded in agreement: "Void Mustard Seed Sword Shuttle? The name is not bad. It's just a pity that fake Magic Treasures lean toward the Sun Attribute. If only there were one with the Thunder Attribute."

Clearly, his words were probing Li Mo.

Lu Yuan coughed to interrupt: "Taiyi, do you have any specific resource needs? Over the next hundred years, I won't be returning to the Great Sun Sword Tomb. You can freely pick a few items in Yang Niu's stomach market."

"Thank you, Elder." Li Mo was overjoyed.

He realized that Sword Cultivators simply had a habit of avoiding external tools.

After all, at lower cultivation levels, Sword Cultivators generally needed to communicate with their Lifebound Flying Sword to comprehend Sword Intent. The sect strictly prohibited Outer Disciples from refining Magic Artifacts.

Once they ascended to the Divine Separation Stage, however, reliance on the Lifebound Flying Sword decreased, and wielding Magic Artifacts became entirely advantageous.

But alas, the black market rarely offered fake Magic Treasures, and Hundred Refinement Magical Artifacts were mostly insignificant.

Within the Heavenly Sword Sect, Sword Cultivators skilled in artifact refining were exceedingly rare—likely none had reached the level of crafting fake Magic Treasures.

Expecting Sword Cultivators to allocate time meant for cultivating Sword Intent to learning how to inscribe Spirit Patterns was simply unrealistic.

Li Mo suddenly had a realization: he could make a fortune selling Magic Treasures in the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Perhaps he could achieve dominance over the Taoist inheritance of the Twenty-Eight Sword Tombs without shedding a drop of blood.

From what he could tell, advancing Sword Body required merging other Sword Bodies, so the Twenty-Eight Sword Tombs didn't hoard the Taoist inheritance selfishly.

"Patience—only Void Refining Stage Elders have the financial resources to purchase Magic Treasures. Since direct marketing isn't feasible, I'll have to cast a wide net to catch the big fish."

Li Mo didn't believe he couldn't find buyers interested in the Sword Shuttle.

He reached his arm into Yang Niu's stomach.

"Hmm, the two Foundation Spiritual Objects need to be interconnected. Based on my expectations, they should lean toward the Golden Earth Element…"

Li Mo communicated with Yang Niu, and over a dozen Foundation Spiritual Objects appeared by his side.

Most were top-grade spiritual materials without significant features—unsuitable for ascending to the Divine Separation Stage. They were less promising than what could be found in the Corpse Mountain Mini World.

Li Mo sifted through the Foundation Spiritual Objects one by one.

"Oh?"

He noticed a fist-sized, honeycomb-like stone sphere whose volume fluctuated continuously, with an aura strikingly similar to a Sumeru Stone.

Lu Yuan explained upon seeing it: "Yang Niu's stomach contains many ancient relics, objects that the modern Cultivation World is no longer capable of producing."

"This is called a Realm Core, a remnant born from the destruction of a small world."

In ancient Cultivation World, some Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects could naturally open up small worlds.

Of course, the scale of small worlds was far less than that of Corpse Mountain—perhaps just a tiny pool barely larger than a Storage Bag.

"Realm Cores are difficult to refine, capable of accommodating only one or two pieces of grass or wood."

Li Mo's eyes brightened; the Realm Core indeed met his requirements for a Foundation Spiritual Object. But how effective it would be remained uncertain.

"I'll take the Realm Core then."

"Aren't you going to pick a few more? It's normal for Artifact Refiners to have an interest in unconventional spiritual materials, but Realm Cores are too unstable to use as refining materials."

Li Mo searched through the materials for a while longer but grew increasingly satisfied with the Realm Core.

If his assumptions were correct, his Externalized Dharma Body would fuse in an unconventional manner, with potential rivaling Symbiotic Dharma Body or Buddha Demon Body.

"No need, Elder Lu Yuan."

Li Mo retrieved his arm while sending the Realm Core deep into the Spirit Vein within Corpse Mountain Mini World, sacrificing five hundred years' worth of Innate Essence to nourish it.

The aura of the Realm Core began to settle, swelling bit by bit.

Lu Yuan shook his head slightly, "Taiyi, is there anything else you need? Take the Realm Core as a gift for joining the Great Sun Sword Tomb."

"Do you have any Void Refining Techniques?"

Lu Yuan replied helplessly: "No. How could small to mid-sized sects possess Void Refining Techniques? Lesser sects have even less chance of preserving such inheritances."

"Forget it. I'll visit a few more Sword Tombs and see if I can find some Taoist inheritance."

Chi Baicheng hesitated and said, "I do have a fragmented Void Refining Technique from the Ten Thousand Demon Dao's Sui Sheng Hall."

"Taiyi, take it. And when you have time... help me refine a Sword Shuttle."

Li Mo grinned with delight. Even a fragmented Void Refining Technique would allow his Tao Seed to transform—there might even be a chance to complete the Void Refining content.

Lei Gong also showed interest in the Sword Shuttle, remarking, "I've befriended many old acquaintances over the years. Perhaps Taoist inheritance can be negotiated."

Lu Yuan glanced at Lei Gong.

Thunder Residence Sword Cultivators were infamous for their fiery temper—what old acquaintances could he possibly have?

Lei Gong was likely planning to coerce others directly or leverage Yu Xiao's name to demand them.

Li Mo accepted the Human Bone Jade Scroll and said, "No time like the present. I'll start refining immediately."

Lei Gong and the others exchanged uncertain glances; refining two fake Magic Treasures would likely take years, delaying many pressing matters.

"You…"

Li Mo immediately took out spiritual materials, and twelve extra arms sprouted from his ribs.

Lu Yuan was about to stop him, but Li Mo had already started using the top-grade spiritual material Dragon Corpse Rock to refine the dragon bones for the Sword Shuttle. The material shrank visibly, its impurities dissipating as dust.

Within moments, the Dragon Corpse Rock transformed into the embryonic shape of a Magic Artifact.

Li Mo moved with incredible precision, his control over Spiritual Power meticulous to the point it created a sense of Taoist naturalness.

As the dragon bones took form, his additional arms began crafting the deck and other components.

Mindful of the Spider Sword Orb's connection to the Ten Thousand Sword Immortal Bone, Li Mo refined the materials by hand instead of using specialized tools, increasing the efficiency severalfold.

"Hiss…"

Lei Gong inhaled sharply, uncertain whether his own insight was simply too limited.

In his experience, Artifact Refiners typically took a long time just to temper spiritual materials, requiring absolute silence and tranquility.

The slightest mistake could ruin the Magic Artifact Embryo.

"Don't worry, seniors. I should be able to finish before we reach our destination; you don't need to rush," Li Mo suddenly said, startling them. Despite speaking, his refining work didn't falter—instead, it grew faster.

Lu Yuan and the others were left speechless.

Li Mo seemed to embody the meaning of "Innate Immortal Seed," showcasing his astonishing talents in the most direct way.

They felt pangs of sympathy for the current-generation cultivators of the Daoist and Demon paths.

Though Lu Yuan and the others knew how challenging it was to break through to the Void Refining Stage and weren't discouraged themselves, those cultivators still striving for ascension were undoubtedly doomed.

The thirteen Innate Immortal Seeds would likely monopolize the paths upward—after all, the resources required for Land Immortals were astronomical.

"Lei Gong, Thunder Attribute Sword Intent should have body refinement effects, right?"

"Yes…"

"I'll use Dragon Corpse Rock as the primary material and add Gathering Thunder Grass powder as a catalyst to forge the dragon bones for the Sword Shuttle. It will store lightning for daily use."

As Li Mo spoke, dragon bones flickered with electric glow, lying horizontally within the room.

"The arrays inscribed in each room are unique, so even if the fake Magic Treasure sustains damage, it can repair itself as long as the array eye remains intact."

Li Mo stretched his arms, deftly completing the Shuttle's structure.

Lu Yuan and the others initially thought Li Mo's crafting of the Magic Artifact Embryo was impressive enough, but it turned out the subsequent refining phase was his true forte.

It was their first time witnessing an Artifact Refiner simultaneously incorporating a hundred pieces of spiritual material.

From Magic Artifact Embryo to Hundred Refinement completion, it took only half a day.

By the time Li Mo started inscribing Spirit Patterns, Lu Yuan and the others had grown accustomed to his brilliance and their expressions returned to calm, even casually commenting on his work.

"The Spirit Patterns are deficient. Otherwise, the Sword Shuttle's quality could reach Magic Treasure level."

"If there's an opportunity to enhance it later, you can come find me to upgrade it to a Magic Treasure."

Li Mo handed the Thunder Attribute Sword Shuttle to Lei Gong and swiftly began crafting an Ice Attribute Sword Shuttle.

The three of them only needed to wield the Sword Shuttles in the sect's mountain gate for customers to eventually seek them out; private refining efforts could also mitigate costs by using materials nurtured by the Dan Tree.

When the Ice Attribute Sword Shuttle was completed, only five days had passed.

Chi Baicheng led a group of disciples back to the Qiushuang Sword Tomb, while Lu Yuan headed toward the outer disciples' area.

Three colossal Sword Shuttles soared through Gang Winds, immediately attracting countless gazes.

Lei Gong's display was even more ostentatious.

Even without external enemies, the Sword Shuttle radiated protective lightning, making a flashy entrance into the Thunder Residence Sword Tomb.

Standing atop his Kun Whale, Li Mo watched them depart, his heart subtly amused.

"I think… I forgot to pay respects to Fifth Senior Sister. Uh, Senior Sister Yu Xiao surely isn't the impulsive type and wouldn't care about a Sword Shuttle…"

The truth proved him wrong.

Boom.

Thunderlight pierced the heavens, prompting the Kun Whale to panic and narrowly avoid a strike.

A Jade Sword halted before Li Mo.

"Qing Tian, craft a Sword Shuttle ten times larger than Nephew Lei's. Ensure it exhibits phenomena while traveling, with rooms optimized for Ten Thousand Thunder Body Refining…"

"I'll come pick it up after some time."

Li Mo forced a smile and nodded—above all, he dared not offend the eldest and fifth senior sisters, both of whom had inscrutable, eccentric personalities.

Some Sword Cultivators hoping to approach Li Mo also backed off due to Yu Xiao's influence.

Taking advantage of the sunny skies, Li Mo slipped into the Great Sun Sword Tomb.

Zhi Mountain Temple had grown even larger; the Nine Curves Chain Formation was taking shape.

Moreover, Li Mo detected faint traces of Yin Blood Spiritual Qi in the Great Sun Sword Tomb, indicating the approach of the Heavenly Demon Festival.

However, there was no sign of Ye Zhuo and his companions.

"Could it be that a senior drew the Sword Cultivators away?"

After verifying through traces that they hadn't run into trouble, Li Mo immediately headed for the main hall.
