Li Shiming had no choice but to make public the fact that he had killed the monks from the Han family.
The old monk Du Yuan witnessed this matter personally. If he concealed this matter, he could not guarantee that the old monk Du Yuan would not tell others.
He didn't know who the old monk Du Yuan was, but he had to speculate with the utmost malicious intent.
Although the old monk Du Yuan had no intention of harming him, he wanted him to convert to Buddhism.
So he might as well speak out himself and report it to the sect. Besides, this time Han Tianlei set a trap for him, and he must come to an end after returning.
"Junior brother, what do you mean?" The stationed monk woke up from his shock, looked at the middle-aged emperor with surprise in his eyes, and then asked Li Shiming.
"I will take care of Han Tianlei's issue. I will return to the sect after I cure the spiritual plant. I don't want the Han family to continue to exist!" Li Shiming replied calmly.
He learned from Han Yu's confession that the conflict between the Han family and the royal family had almost become public.
Many forces in Nanshan Kingdom have already joined the Han family, and the stationed monks who stand with the royal family are also enemies of the Han family.
Under normal circumstances, if Li Shiming made this request without any words, the stationed monks and the middle-aged emperor would not agree at all.
But Li Shiming was too aggressive. He first broke the formation and then took out ten corpses of Han's middle-stage Qi Refining cultivators. These were all of Han's middle-stage Qi Refining cultivators.
The Han family is now extremely weak. At most, they have a few cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining, and the stationed cultivators can easily send them away.
"Junior brother, the spiritual plant is in the palace. I will take you there first. As for Han, I will go there again when you are treating the spiritual plant. Let the royal family make some preparations first!" The stationed monk invited with a smile.
The spiritual plants are in the courtyard of the stationed monks. The courtyard can contain spiritual energy because of the magic array arranged by the spiritual plants.
The spiritual plant is a thousand-year-old peony, which has extremely strong vitality and is beneficial to elderly monks.
"I'll cast the spell, no problem!" Li Shiming looked at the wilted thousand-year-old peony and assured with a smile.
"Then thank you for your help, Junior Brother. I'll be back soon!" The stationed monk was delighted. This thousand-year-old peony was of great help to him. He had been asking the sect to send a spirit plant husband to treat him but received no reply. Today, he finally had hope of treatment.
He understood that if Han had not set a trap for Li Shiming, Li Shiming would not have been allowed to come and complete this treatment task.
This task is very troublesome. Ordinary spiritual plant doctors may not be able to successfully cure it, and the journey is too far. It is really not cost-effective for such a task with low rewards.
Li Shiming nodded, and drew the rune of 'Spring Breeze Nourishing Things' with his fingers in the air. As an intermediate spiritual plant master, he could already control the size of rain clouds.
A small rain cloud appeared above the thousand-year-old peony, and the falling rain mist wrapped around the thousand-year-old peony as if it had a spirit. The originally wilted thousand-year-old peony suddenly became energetic.
He did not finish the treatment. With a tap of his fingers, the 'Geng Jin Jue' was released.
Although it is a spell of a primary spirit plant master and has not been advanced, its power and flexibility are greatly enhanced when it is cast by him who is in the middle stage of Qi Refining.
The Geng golden needle entered the soil and moved through the spiritual soil under the thousand-year-old peony.
A sound of metal clashing came from the ground, and then a golden beetle flew out of the ground.
"Hey, it's a golden-winged beetle!" Ren Feier, who was standing quietly by the side, exclaimed in surprise.
When she saw Li Shiming using the "Sword Control Technique" and preparing to use the sword light transformed from a top-grade sword to get rid of the golden-winged beetle, she hurriedly grabbed Li Shiming.
Although Ren Feier cannot use much spiritual power, she still has some means.
She took out a talisman and flicked it out gently. The talisman turned into a spider web, wrapping the golden-winged beetle inside.
The golden-winged beetle struggled continuously but was unable to break free from the spider web.
She took out another jade box and used her spiritual hand to send the golden-winged beetle into the jade box. She then closed the jade box and tapped it with her finger. A spiritual pattern appeared on the jade box, sealing the inside.
"The golden-winged beetle is one of the strange insects recorded in the Book of Strange Insects. You can learn the art of repelling insects in the future, and then you will be able to control this insect." She saw Li Shiming's questioning look and explained softly.
Li Shiming had never heard of the Book of Strange Insects, and of course he didn't know how to drive away insects.
"What's the use of that golden-winged beetle?" he asked, looking at the jade box that Ren Feier handed over.
"This golden-winged beetle can be worth at least a thousand spirit stones if sold to a monk who is good at insect repellent!" Ren Feier didn't want to explain too much, so she changed her way of explanation.
"So this bug is so expensive. You should keep it well!" Li Shiming didn't hesitate. This was what he got for the mission. He took the jade box with a smile and put it into his storage bag.
With a loud "boom", a vibration sound was heard in the distance. The strong fluctuation of spiritual power made Li Shiming know that there was an accident.
"You stay here, I'll go over and take a look!" Li Shiming told Ren Fei'er, but after seeing Ren Fei'er's unwilling look, he changed his words and said, "You should have a way to protect yourself, but don't stay too far away from me, otherwise I won't be able to take care of you!"
"I see. You're such a nag!" Ren Feier chuckled and nodded.
Ren Fei'er was still sitting on the paper crane's back, while Li Shiming grew wings on his back and flew towards the area where spiritual power collided.
They arrived at the battlefield very quickly and saw the garrisoned monk fighting a fierce battle with a black-robed monk.
When Ren Feier saw the black-robed monk, she immediately recognized him as a monk from the Xuanming Sect.
This cultivator from the Xuanming Sect did not know Ren Feier, otherwise there would be no need to fight this battle.
At this time, Li Shiming also recognized the methods of the Xuanming Sect cultivator. The strength of this Xuanming Sect cultivator had reached the late stage of Qi Refining, and his strength was similar to that of the stationed cultivator.
I don’t know how Han family came into contact with this Xuanming Sect cultivator, or if there are some other reasons.
But no matter what the reason, the Han family is definitely finished. As long as all the cultivators at the scene are not dead, then the fact that the Han family is colluding with the Xuanming Sect will be confirmed.
The garrisoned monks are old after all. Although their spiritual power is strong, their stamina is insufficient.
The Xuanming Sect cultivators became more and more eager to fight as the fight went on, and they didn't care about Li Shiming's arrival. Having one more cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining wouldn't make any difference.
The spiritual fluctuations of Ren Feier were severely suppressed by the Buddhist spiritual power. Unless one was very close to her, one would not be able to clearly sense her realm.
"Junior brother, hurry up and report what happened here to the sect. Senior brother will hold him here!" The stationed monk shouted anxiously when he saw Li Shiming coming.
There is no point in all the monks of the sect dying here. As long as Li Shiming can escape, the sect will avenge him.
If the stationed monk had not said so, Li Shiming might have found a way to escape if he did not want to expose his strength.
Li Shiming waved his hand and a bronze corpse appeared in front of him.
The bronze corpse held a huge low-grade axe magic weapon in his hand and rushed towards the Xuanming Sect monk with a roar.
"Brother, let me help you!" Li Shiming reminded loudly.
He himself flew into the air with Ren Fei'er, and the green kite wood sword beside him turned into a ray of sword light, emitting the unique sword brilliance of a sword cultivator.
He did not step forward to join the battle himself, as he was very clear about his own strength.
Even though he killed ten cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refining by himself, those were just independent cultivators, and there was a huge gap between them and the cultivators in the sect.
He had experienced how terrifying the Xuanming Sect's late Qi training cultivators were before, so leaving the battlefield was the best option.
When the stationed monk saw Li Shiming summon a bronze corpse, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he was not too surprised.
The Tianhai Sect also has methods of practicing corpse refining. Although there are few cultivators who can refine copper corpses, there are some.
Only the Xuanming Sect cultivators had a flash of horror in their eyes. There were not many of these top-level copper corpses with a single spiritual root refined using the 'Xuanming Corpse Refining Chapter', even within the Xuanming Sect.
The main reason is that the materials for refining a corpse with a single spiritual root are too difficult to find. Refining a bronze corpse with a single spiritual root will destroy a genius with a single spiritual root.
Not to mention that it is difficult to discover, even if a genius with a single spiritual root is discovered, no matter which sect it is, it will not allow such a waste of a genius with a single spiritual root to be refined into a corpse.
You should know that under normal circumstances, it is not a problem for a genius with a single spiritual root to become a foundation-building cultivator. However, after it is made into a refined corpse, it depends on whether the owner of the corpse can become a foundation-building cultivator. If the owner of the corpse has a single spiritual root, it would be fine, but most corpse-refining cultivators do not have single spiritual roots.
Li Shiming devoted a little of his consciousness to control the movements of the bronze corpse.
He stood in the distance, using IBM z15 to help analyze the battlefield, giving him a transcendent sense of control over the battle.
The stationed monk swung out a pillar of fire, which rushed towards the Xuanming Sect monk. The Xuanming Sect monk dodged and turned into a black light and tried to get closer to him.
Just as the figure of the Xuanming Sect cultivator moved, a beam of axe light fell, and the terrifying force brought about the sound of air tearing.
The Xuanming Sect cultivator quickly stopped his forward momentum and dodged again with a flash of his body.
The bronze corpse pounced forward. Its speed was quite good. The strength of this Xuanming Sect cultivator was weaker than those Li Shiming had seen before, so the Xuanming Sect cultivator was unable to get rid of the bronze corpse's close proximity for a while.
The situation on the battle immediately turned around. With the bronze corpse in front, the garrison monks who were more adept at long-range attacks could safely launch various long-range attacks.
However, it is not easy to defeat the Xuanming Sect monks in a short time. The other party is very familiar with the bronze corpse and knows its characteristics well.
Coupled with the fact that the Xuanming Sect monks often used some strange methods, the battlefield fell into a tense state.
"Little brother, you still have a bronze corpse. I also want to raise one, but mother won't allow me!" When Ren Feier saw the bronze corpse, she also recognized that it was the bronze corpse refined by the 'Xuanming Corpse Refining Chapter'. Her tone was full of surprise and envy.
Li Shiming felt that the picture was really weird when he thought about a little girl like Ren Feier carrying a tall corpse with her.
"Why would a kid want to play with a corpse?" He shook his head and turned away the picture.
"You are only one year older than me. Why do you say I am a child?" Ren Feier was unhappy this time and said to Li Shiming dissatisfiedly.
"Yes, you are not a child anymore. This bronze corpse was not made by me. It is my trophy!" Li Shiming quickly changed the subject and explained.
"Your bronze corpse is too ordinary. I have read records that some cultivators transformed a bronze corpse into one with half of its body being that of a spiritual beast. In particular, they used half of the body of a spider monster and the upper body of a refined corpse. The transformed refined corpse would be very interesting!" Ren Feier was not really angry. She told her the strange stories she knew.
"Can it be transformed like this?" Li Shiming didn't remember such a description in the "Xuanming Corpse Refining Chapter".
Although the injured corpse can be replenished by replenishing bones, flesh and blood, it takes a long time for that little bit of foreign flesh and blood and bones to be transformed into a part of the corpse.
Moreover, doing so may cause great damage to the vitality of the corpse refiner, or even reduce the level of the corpse refiner.
Therefore, even if many refined corpses are damaged, no cultivators will repair them as long as they have little impact on the battle.
"I'll look for it when I get back. I'm sure it's there!" Ren Feier nodded heavily in affirmation.
The cultivator from Xuanming Sect also realized that the bronze corpse belonged to Li Shiming. He tried many times to rush towards Li Shiming, but was entangled by the bronze corpse every time and was attacked by the stationed cultivators.
Just as he was about to use the secret method, he heard a voice in his ears.
"Go back!" The sound of 'Devil's Ears' and the unique tone of Xuanming Sect made him look panic-stricken. Without any pause, he used the secret flying method, turned into a black light, left the battlefield, and fled into the distance.
Although the speed of the bronze corpse is good, it is still far behind the escape technique. Even the spells of the stationed monks cannot keep up with the speed of the black light.
The garrisoned monk was stunned. Although it seemed that they had the advantage in this battle, it was hard to say whether the outcome would be better if it dragged on. The main reason was that he was too old and did not have enough strength left.
If the fight continues, he may not be able to hold on for much longer.
"Little brother, I want to go back. This is a contact card. Please contact me after you return to the sect. If you don't, I will ignore you!" Ren Feier glanced at the depths of the void with an unhappy face, then turned to Li Shiming and handed a jade card to Li Shiming.
"Can this contact card really contact you?" Li Shiming took the jade piece and asked in disbelief. Then he thought of something and asked again, "Your injury is not healed yet. Is it okay for you to go back by yourself?"
"Someone from home is here to pick me up. Please go back to the sect quickly. I want to hear your stories more!" Ren Feier said reluctantly.
"You should be careful too!" Li Shiming waved his hand.
Ren Fei'er drove the paper crane to fly far away. Li Shiming watched his paper crane being taken away. He thought about it and said nothing. He got the top-grade black bird wing, so he gave the paper crane to Ren Fei'er.
"Junior sister, are you interested in this boy? Do you want me to tie him up for you?" The foundation-building cultivator saw Ren Feier and said to her with a smile.
This junior sister is counted according to Elder Ren. In the sect, strength is respected most of the time. As long as the strength is sufficient, they are still brothers no matter how big the age difference is.
But there are exceptions. The children of the Jindan elders will be treated equally by any foundation-building cultivator in the sect.
"Why are you meddling in other people's business!" Ren Feier pouted.
She was only well-behaved in front of a few people, and her mother's direct disciple was not one of them.
