Li Shiming sat on the back of the paper crane. He took out his identity jade disc and first sent a message to Yin Shilan, telling her that he was going to complete the mandatory task.
He then opened the mandatory mission and found that the mission was to go to Nanshan Country to heal a spiritual tree.
Nanshan Kingdom is a secular place, and a spiritual tree there would not be an important spiritual plant.
This was because precious spiritual plants simply could not survive in secular places where spiritual energy was scarce. However, based on his status as a junior spiritual plant husband according to the information, such a task was reasonable.
However, Nanshan Kingdom is quite far away, and if he rides a paper crane, it will take him more than ten days to fly there.
"This is a good thing. He can use this as an excuse to stay away from the sect. No matter how much the Holy Ice Sect investigates, they won't be able to find me who is far away from the sect. This is a mandatory mission assigned by the Law Enforcement Hall, not his own request!" Li Shiming thought as he controlled the paper crane.
After flying for two hours, he felt that the speed was too slow.
In fact, this speed is almost as fast as that of cars in the previous life, but the problem is that compared with the distance the monk needs to travel, the speed of the paper crane is a bit slow.
If it was the early stage of Qi Refining, his spiritual power would be useless, but now he is at the fourth level of Qi Refining and has truly reached the middle stage of Qi Refining.
At least in the Qi Refining Stage, he can be considered a cultivator with some strength.
He had never learned any flying skills, but in the sword-cultivation skill "Sword Controlling Technique", there is a method of controlling a long sword to carry the cultivator in flight.
In the past, his spiritual power was not enough to exert the ability to fly.
He did what he wanted to do. He put away the paper crane with his backhand, which left his body in the air without support.
Just as his body was about to fall to the sea surface, he waved his finger and the green kite wood sword flew out, transforming into a sword light with gold and green.
A Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator cannot wield a high-grade magical tool for too long, but there is nothing that can be done about it.
He didn't want to take out the Fiery Flame Sword for the time being. The Fiery Flame Sword had been taken away by Baili Jinyan, so who could guarantee whether there were any traces left on it.
The only sword-type magic weapon that Li Shiming had refined 100% was the Green Kite Wood Sword. Without the Green Kite Wood Sword, he would have no other sword-type magic weapon to use.
The most basic requirement of the 'Sword Controlling Technique' is a 100% refined sword weapon, so when practicing sword escape, he needs to be careful not to consume too much energy.
This is not within the sect. When you go out, you must have enough spiritual power in your body to protect yourself.
"Look at me, a sword cultivator, flying with a sword!" Although he felt very childish, there were no other cultivators within a ten-mile radius of this place, so he let himself go without any scruples.
The sword light supported his falling body, and then the sword light became bigger, wrapping his entire body.
The sword light suddenly accelerated, and he heard the sound of tearing through the air.
The spiritual energy in his body was being rapidly consumed at a rate of 10% every ten breaths.
After the 30th breath, he stopped his sword escape, mainly because he didn't dare to fly any further as he couldn't afford the consumption.
But during this thirty-breath flight, he witnessed the terrifying power of sword cultivators.
It is flying entirely by relying on its own abilities, and its speed is at least five times faster than that of a paper crane.
This is when his spiritual power is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. As his spiritual power level increases, the speed will be even faster.
He took out two spirit stones, held them in his hands and absorbed the spiritual energy within them.
This experience is mentioned in the knowledge of cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. After a cultivator consumes his spiritual power, there are three ways to recover.
One is natural recovery. Every moment, the spiritual energy vortex is absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. However, the absorption speed in this way is very slow. If the consumption is too great, it will have to wait until the next time to practice the main technique and rely on the main technique to replenish it.
The second is to take pills, which is the fastest way to restore spiritual power.
But this is seldom done by cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, mainly because elixirs that restore spiritual power are too expensive. Unless a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage has the strength of the later stage and has a stable and fast way to earn spirit stones, he is eligible to enjoy elixirs that restore spiritual power.
Those monks who hunt sea beasts use elixirs to restore their spiritual power when necessary.
The third is to use the spiritual energy in the spirit stone to restore spiritual power, which is also the most common method used by ordinary cultivators.
The reason why spirit stones have become the common currency in the world of immortal cultivation is because they contain spiritual energy that can be absorbed by cultivators.
Many cultivators use spirit stones to increase the intake of spiritual energy even when practicing their main techniques, in order to speed up their practice.
Li Shiming used spirit stones to restore his spiritual power. When his spiritual power was full, he used the Qingyuan wood sword to activate sword escape.
Through repeated practice, he gained more and more experience in the sword escape of "Sword Controlling Technique", and with the aerodynamics he found in IBMz15 for research, he changed the appearance of the sword light, reducing the air resistance of the sword light during sword escape.
The flying distance of his sword escape was increasing each time, from about eight miles in thirty breaths at the beginning to ten miles in thirty breaths later.
He calculated the speed and found that the speed of the sword escape reached an astonishing 600 kilometers per hour.
Unfortunately, due to his spiritual power, he was still unable to use sword escape as a regular means of flying. He could only continuously restore his spiritual power and then use sword escape to recover again.
While recovering his spiritual power, he was able to use the paper crane to continue on his journey, so there was no delay at all.
Yin Shilan came back to her senses from her research, shook her head tiredly, and found the information on the identity jade disc.
As long as she was in the sect, no matter how busy she was every day, she would always set aside time for lunch.
It was noon now, and she finally had some free time to communicate with Li Shiming through her identity jade disc.
Communicating with Li Shiming not only greatly helped her improve her formation skills, but also made her feel an inexplicable sense of closeness.
"How could there be a mandatory task?" Yin Shilan murmured in disappointment.
With her identity, she would naturally have nothing to do with the mandatory tasks. Any needs of the sect would be discussed with her.
"Wait until Li Shiming comes back and ask him!" She didn't think much about it and immediately threw herself into research after making the decision.
Without this kind of research spirit, how could one become one of the few intermediate formation masters in the sect and maintain a unique advantage among the intermediate formation masters.
She is not Li Shiming, who has the help of IBM z15. It is entirely due to her own hard work and passion that she has achieved such success at such a young age.
On the other side, Han Tianlei couldn't wait to use the power of the Law Enforcement Hall to forcibly open the Eagle's Beak Island's defense formation.
In his eyes, Li Shiming is now equivalent to a dead man, and all the high-level and low-grade spiritual fields and talisman spiritual bamboos here are his.
As for the procedures, he used the power granted by Deacon Xu Peiran of the Law Enforcement Hall to skip the Affairs Hall and transferred the authority of Eagle's Beak Island to his name. From then on, Eagle's Beak Island belonged to him, and he only had to pay a few hundred kilograms of spiritual rice every year.
The Han family is a family of independent cultivators that relies on Nanshan State.
Today, the Han family has gained huge benefits in Nanshan Country with the identity of Han Tianlei, a cultivator of the Tianhai Sect's Law Enforcement Hall.
If the emperor of Nanshan Kingdom had not been protected by a clan, the Han family might have become the new emperor of Nanshan Kingdom.
Of course, if Han Tianlei became a foundation-building cultivator, perhaps this possibility would really exist.
In the Han family lobby, ten Han family cultivators gathered together, with Han family head Han Yu sitting in the first seat.
Han Yu looked at the nine monks in the hall and felt a surge of pride in his heart.
Han Tianlei is his younger brother. Although his spiritual roots are very poor and far inferior to Han Tianlei, with the help of Han Tianlei and his family, he took nearly a hundred years to barely reach the sixth level of Qi Refining.
This was the peak of his cultivation as a monk, and his aptitude limited his growth.
But looking at the Han cultivators in the hall, they are all in the middle stage of Qi Refining.
During the years that Han Yu was in power, the Han family developed extremely rapidly, relying on continuous swallowing to grow and become stronger.
Even the current Han family can give back to Han Tianlei's cultivation.
"My second brother has sent me news, asking us to deal with a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining. As always, no traces can be left behind, and my second brother will take care of everything at the sect!" Han Yu opened the magic circle in the lobby and said in a deep voice.
Over the years, the Han family has done many dirty things, but because of Han Tianlei, these things have not affected the development of the Han family. Instead, the gains made the Han family stronger.
"He's only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. I wonder how wealthy he is!" A cultivator from the clan said with a chuckle.
"Don't take it lightly. After all, he is a cultivator from a sect, so he may have some tricks up his sleeve!" another cultivator from the clan reminded.
"By the way, according to my second brother's information, this cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining is a new cultivator this year. After entering the sect, he became a spiritual plant husband and moved out of the Nine Peaks of the sect. He should not be very strong, but we must not be careless!" Han Yu continued.
The atmosphere in the lobby became relaxed. One still needed to be cautious with the sect cultivators who were at the fourth level of Qi Refining, but for a newcomer who had been in the sect for less than a year, even if the sect's most powerful skills were handed to him, his strength would not be that strong.
It takes time for a cultivator to practice. The time for a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage is calculated in years. It is normal for a change in strength to occur every few years.
The higher the realm, the more time it takes for a cultivator to improve his cultivation level.
Unless one has extraordinary talent, it is difficult to escape this law.
It is conceivable that a newcomer who did not stay in Jiufeng would not have strong talent. If he had, Jiufeng would have snatched him away long ago.
"We will all go out today and get ready in Changshi Valley!" Han Yu gave the order, and the nine monks immediately took action.
It was a rare occasion that all the members were mobilized. They said that they did not take it seriously, but independent cultivators believed in putting in everything they could. That was why the Han family always completed every mission cleanly, and it was because of this.
Changshi Valley is the only way to enter Nanshan Kingdom from the ocean. The rest of the places are high mountains. The cultivators in the foundation-building stage can easily cross them, but the cultivators in the Qi-refining stage will not give up the easy road and go over the difficult mountains.
The most important thing is that the map instructions in the mandatory mission are this road.
Li Shiming was a little tired. He had been flying over the sea for ten days, and he was still using the sword escape technique of the "Sword Control Technique". Otherwise, it would have taken several more days.
After jumping from the paper crane's back to land, the feeling of being grounded made him feel at ease.
Even though he has the strength of a monk, he still maintains sufficient respect for the ocean.
He was lucky and didn't encounter any trouble along the way.
This road is all within the sect's sphere of influence. Unless one is unlucky enough to meet a disciple of the Xuanming Sect, no cultivator would dare to attack a cultivator of the Tianhai Sect given the Tianhai Sect robe he is wearing.
He was not in a hurry to travel, but found a flat place to sit down and rest.
The land here already belongs to the territory of Nanshan Kingdom, but it is still some distance away from his mission point. If he travels at full speed, it will take nearly two days.
Li Shiming couldn't help his curiosity. Ever since he got Baili Jinyan's storage bracelet, he suppressed his curiosity about the spiritual objects inside the storage bracelet.
Now that he was far away from the sect, and even further away from the scene of the incident, he didn't believe that the Holy Ice Sect could find this place even though they were thousands of miles away.
Besides, he had no intention of taking the spiritual objects in the storage bracelet to the outside world. At most, he could take them to the computer room.
Anyway, there is a clone in the computer room. Even if his consciousness cannot fully see it, he can do it through the clone.
Thinking of the storage bracelet, he no longer hesitated and his consciousness entered the computer room.
The clone sat cross-legged on the floor of the computer room. Even if he wasn't practicing, traces of spiritual energy continued to flow into the clone, strengthening the body and increasing the spiritual energy vortex.
However, at this rate, the growth of the spiritual energy vortex is extremely slow.
If Baili Jinyan's main practice technique is not found in the storage bracelet, then Li Shiming will need to consider letting his clone change his main practice technique.
As for how to recognize the main cultivation technique, that is very simple. Baili Jinyan has a gold spiritual root, so the main cultivation technique must be a top-level gold-attributed technique.
He first set up a formation for himself, which was the Xuanming Wuying Formation he had obtained before. In his eyes, this formation was only average, but in the absence of formation materials, this formation was the best he could come up with.
This place is a rarely visited place, and the Mysterious Dark Shadow Formation also has a certain hiding effect.
Unfortunately, the Five Elements Formation Flag he made remained in the underground space, being nourished by the inferior spiritual veins, because Han Tianlei did not allow him to pack up his things.
Otherwise, there would be no need to use the Xuanming Sect's formation. If he used the Xuanming Black Shadow Formation within the Tianhai Sect's sphere of influence, if he was seen by cultivators he knew, they would most likely mistake his identity.
The Mysterious Dark Shadow Formation was set up, and his body was wrapped in black mist.
In the blink of an eye, his mind shifted to his clone.
The clone stood up, walked to the storage bracelet, and took the storage bracelet in his hand.
A stream of spiritual power was input, and the interior of the storage bracelet came into his perception.
Just like the first time he checked it, he was still attracted by the flying boat at first sight.
Ever since he saw Yin Shilan standing gracefully on the flying boat, he has developed a special liking for flying boats and very much wishes to own a flying boat that can take Yin Shilan to travel in the sky.
The flying boat in front of him looked very small, only about one foot long, and it looked even smaller in the huge storage bracelet space.
But Li Shiming knew very well that this was just an appearance. As long as the flying boat recognized its master, it would be able to return to its original size under his control.
