Just as Li Shiming was controlling the bronze corpse and clearing out sea beasts on Qingyi Island, his spiritual sense, which was maintained outside, sensed a terrifying aura approaching from afar.
The speed was so terrifying that he had never felt it before.
Then an illusory shadow appeared in front of her, and a hand grabbed Ren Feier.
Li Shiming didn't have time to control the bronze corpse to block the phantom, it was too fast. He could only mobilize his equally fastest "Sword Control Technique". The Qingyuan Wooden Sword turned into a sword light and met the phantom.
The phantom's hand grabbed the sword light easily like picking up a flower. The sword light turned back into a green kite wooden sword, twisting in the phantom's hand, and then was crushed by the phantom.
Li Shiming felt as if his brain was hit by a sledgehammer. As the phantom crushed the Green Kite Wooden Sword, his spiritual connection with the sword was forcibly severed, and the backlash of the destruction of the refining artifact affected his mind.
He spat out blood, but still stood in front of Ren Feier.
At this time, the phantom has revealed its figure, a beautiful woman in black shirt.
The woman in black looked at Li Shiming with a fierce gaze. She reached out to grab Li Shiming. This grab made Li Shiming's whole body stiffen uncontrollably and he let the hand grab him.
That hand carried terrifying energy. Li Shiming believed that as long as this hand touched him, he would die instantly.
Although he felt unwilling in his heart, he did not regret it at all at this moment, because Ren Feier stood in front of him from behind.
However, Ren Feier's subsequent words made him stunned.
"Mom, it was my brother who saved me, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see me!" Ren Feier blocked her mother's way and said in a tender voice.
Elder Ren of the Xuanming Sect, who was called Old Demon Ren by the Jindan cultivators, no longer had his previous aura in front of his daughter Ren Feier.
"You are becoming more and more daring. If your guardian spiritual power hadn't been activated, I wouldn't be able to find you!" Elder Ren said angrily.
As early as after Ren Fei'er ran away from home, she sent people to look for her, and even Yin Shilan came out to help.
Elder Ren was tracking Ren Feier's breath personally, and her heart sank when she sensed that the guardian spiritual power was activated.
The guardian spiritual power was the last barrier she placed in Ren Feier's body, which meant that Ren Feier's life was in danger.
"I didn't expect the spirit-attracting liquid to be so effective!" Ren Feier muttered with some embarrassment.
When Elder Ren heard about the spirit-attracting liquid, he could no longer bear it and hit Ren Feier on the head. The pain made Ren Feier's eyes full of tears.
Li Shiming stood aside awkwardly while his mother scolded her daughter, asking him how he could intervene. Besides, with his strength, Ren Fei'er's mother could beat him into a pancake with just one blow.
He didn't look at Ren Feier's pitiful expression, but looked around.
The battle was over at this time, not because of the bronze corpse, but because of the appearance of Elder Ren, whose aura directly killed all the sea beasts at the scene.
From this we can see that Elder Ren definitely showed mercy to Li Shiming. She also saw that Li Shiming was protecting Ren Feier, otherwise the aura he showed when he appeared alone would have been enough to kill Li Shiming.
"After you go back this time, you must stay in seclusion for a year. You are not allowed to come out for at least a year!" Elder Ren stopped and said solemnly to Ren Feier.
This time, Ren Fei'er was even more sad than when she was hit on the head. Her tears flowed more and she kicked Li Shiming's calf unwillingly.
Because of this bad guy, I have to be imprisoned for a year.
Li Shiming felt confused about being kicked. He just thought that Ren Feier was going to be punished and kicked him by mistake to vent her anger.
Elder Ren's eyes flashed. How could she not know what kind of person her daughter was?
"Boy, you saved Fei'er, and I damaged your magic weapon. However, this magic weapon does not match your attributes. I will compensate you with this golden magic weapon!" Elder Ren threw away the fragments of the green kite wood sword in his hand, took out a small sword and threw it to Li Shiming.
Li Shiming took the small sword. Although he had not refined it, he already felt that it was very compatible with him, and the quality of this small sword exceeded that of the Green Kite Wooden Sword.
"Mom, you are too stingy. The little brother saved Fei'er, and you just send him away with a top-grade magic weapon!" Ren Fei'er pouted with some dissatisfaction.
"You are so generous. How many things are left to save your life? I will check carefully when I get back!" Elder Ren glared at her fiercely, then turned to Li Shiming and said, "You are too weak. Even a powerful magic weapon would only cause trouble for you."
Elder Ren thought that Li Shiming had indeed saved Ren Feier, and gave her a top-grade sword just to make up for the top-grade sword of Li Shiming that was destroyed by her.
Her eyes swept over Li Shiming, and Li Shiming felt as if he had no protection at all. He even suspected that she could see his bones clearly.
"Your spiritual roots are ordinary, so don't be distracted by practicing so many messy techniques. The spiritual foundation is the most important. Don't be too ambitious. It is true that you can develop comprehensively and lay the strongest foundation, but those are what the heavenly spiritual roots pursue. It is difficult for you to advance to the foundation-building stage with your spiritual roots.
But I'm surprised that you've cultivated your spiritual thoughts. Your Yuan Yang is still intact, which is also an advantage. It can increase your success rate of advancing to the foundation-building stage by 10%, and even the promotion to the golden elixir stage has a certain bonus. "Elder Ren took another look at the bronze corpse and the middle-grade magic weapon Gatling in its hand, and said lightly.
As a Jindan, he gave guidance to Li Shiming. This opportunity was extremely rare for a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage. It could be regarded as a way of repaying his kindness in protecting Ren Feier.
In addition, what she did not say was that Buddhist relics were found on Li Shiming’s chest.
She judged, not without malicious intent, that some great figure in the Buddhist sect must have taken a fancy to Li Shiming, and perhaps it wouldn't be long before Li Shiming would become a monk.
As for the fact that his daughter had some interest in Li Shiming, all this would be over after Li Shiming became a monk.
Elder Ren asked Ren Feier to stay in seclusion for a year, which was also intended to protect Ren Feier.
During this year, she needs to gather the protective spiritual power in Ren Feier's body again, and also help Ren Feier prepare a large number of life-saving items.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior!" Li Shiming bowed in thanks.
However, he disagreed with Elder Ren's advice to him not to be too ambitious.
The reason why the Heavenly Spiritual Roots can practice body-refining techniques in addition to their normal cultivation is because the cultivation speed of the Heavenly Spiritual Roots is 100, which is the maximum speed, leaving a lot of extra time.
Li Shiming's own situation is somewhat special. Although his cultivation speed is a little over 27, it is also at the top cultivation speed.
Besides, he has the conditions to practice the 'Vajra Body Protection Divine Art' and the 'Sword Demon Secret Book'. If he doesn't practice, he is afraid that his Taoism will be unstable.
When he bowed to express his gratitude, Elder Ren did not care what he thought. He grabbed Ren Feier with one hand and disappeared in an instant.
Li Shiming looked at Qingyi Island which was full of corpses. He summoned the main spirit of the "Soul Controlling and Soul Separation Technique" and let the main spirit devour the souls here.
He picked up the corpses of sea beasts on the ground, which were all valuable.
Although he has a lot of spirit stones, who would complain about having too many spirit stones?
There were so many sea beasts that his spiritual sense swept through an area and the corpses of sea beasts were collected.
Soon all his storage bags were filled with sea beast corpses. He thought for a moment and put the sea beast corpses into the storage bracelet in the machine room.
It’s okay to use the storage bracelet without taking out the computer room space.
The corpses of the sea beasts were cleaned up, and even the several storage bags left at the scene were collected by him. As for the corpses of the monks, only the one who survived the talisman left his body.
The corpse was also collected and stored as repair material for the bronze corpse.
Under normal circumstances, it is not easy to obtain the corpse of a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage.
After cleaning up the battlefield, he looked at the damaged green kite wood sword on the ground with some reluctance.
The Green Kite Wooden Sword has been with him the longest. The reason he has never replaced it is that he has not been able to find a better one, but more importantly, he has developed feelings for the Green Kite Wooden Sword.
He collected the fragments of the Green Kite Wood Sword and placed them in the machine room as a souvenir.
He took out the jade flying boat, jumped on it, and prepared to leave.
As the jade flying boat flew away from Qingyi Island, a high-level first-level sea beast jumped out of the sea, spewing out a black mist with strong poisonous gas and attacked the flying boat.
The middle-grade magical Gatling gun in the bronze corpse's hand sprayed out ice crystal bullets, which first dispersed the black fog, and then more ice crystal bullets continuously hit the body of the sea beast. The attack lasted for five seconds, completely piercing the body of the sea beast.
Li Shiming's spiritual consciousness grabbed the sea beast corpse and put it into the storage bracelet.
Only then did he realize that something was wrong. He was a little impulsive when he successfully entered Qingyi Island and rescued Ren Feier.
He was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and faced with countless hordes of sea beasts. Even with the bronze corpses and six mid-grade magical Gatling guns, he could not easily deal with the horde of sea beasts.
He thought again of the several dead monks. They must have seen something that made them dare to rush into the group of sea beasts.
Within the scope of Qingyi Island, all sea beasts were fighting based on instinct, and not a single one of them used the innate abilities of spirit beasts. He remembered that when he first encountered the lowest-level sea pig beast, that sea pig beast actually sent out a shield.
He sensed his harvest and found that there were at least tens of thousands of sea beast corpses, including no less than a thousand high-level first-level sea beast corpses.
It seems that by saving Ren Fei'er, he not only got a golden sword, but also gained a lot of wealth.
Originally, Li Shiming felt at ease taking these riches, because most of them came from sea beasts he killed and were earned through his labor.
Of course, the strongest group of sea beasts were killed by Elder Ren’s aura.
Now thinking of the soul-attracting liquid that Ren Feier mentioned, he finally understood that these sea beasts were affected by the soul-attracting liquid, otherwise they would not be killed so easily.
"Why think so much? Ren Feier doesn't care about the corpse of a sea beast at all!" Li Shiming thought of Ren Feier with tearful eyes, and said to himself with a smile on his face.
Thinking that I might not see Ren Feier again in a year, I still feel a little reluctant.
The jade flying boat returned without encountering any trouble either.
Sometimes Li Shiming wondered why there was no response from the Holy Ice Sect.
After returning to the sect, he purchased information about Elder Baili of the Holy Ice Sect through the sect's intelligence broker.
The first-level intelligence that a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage can obtain from an elder naturally cannot contain any in-depth information, and are mostly rumors.
This can be considered to satisfy the curiosity of the Qi Refining cultivators about the elders, and only Qi Refining cultivators with a lot of spirit stones will purchase this kind of information.
Li Shiming really cares, as this concerns his life and property.
A piece of news made him feel relieved. It was rumored that Elder Baili suddenly returned and went into seclusion without saying anything. People in the Holy Ice Sect were saying that Elder Baili had some realizations, and it was likely that his strength would be greatly increased after coming out of seclusion this time.
Li Shiming knew clearly that Elder Baili was injured and had gone back to recuperate.
He himself had felt the feeling of having a magic weapon for refining destroyed, and this was an ordinary magic weapon in the Qi Refining Stage. It was said that as the realm improved, the connection between the magic weapon and the cultivator would become closer, and the impact caused by its destruction would be greater.
If he had not practiced the 'Ice Heart Jade Mind Technique' and had not possessed a very strong spirit, it would not be as simple as spitting out blood. It would have taken him a long time just to recuperate.
Elder Baili went into seclusion as soon as he returned, so one can imagine how much impact the destroyed magic weapon had on him.
No wonder no monks from the Holy Ice Sect had come to cause trouble recently. This news meant he no longer had to worry every day.
Elder Jindan’s retreat time will not be short, at least it will leave him some time for development.
The next day after returning, Yin Shilan also returned to the sect and sent a message to Li Shiming.
However, there was no news from Ren Fei'er. Since they separated on Qingyi Island, they had no contact through the contact card.
Li Shiming was no longer worried. This time, Ren Feier was forced into seclusion by her mother and probably would not be able to use the contact card.
He calmed down and began his normal cultivation career.
Although he had some objections to Elder Ren's guidance, he still followed some of it.
He began to reduce his research on the profession of spirit plant husband, and gave up all his original plans to get involved in other professions. Indeed, he was now putting in too much energy.
Just one formation was enough for him to devote his whole heart to. He needed to focus more on cultivation before building his foundation.
Days passed one by one, and Yun's Company took advantage of 'Thousand Miles of Mutual Vision' to occupy a large market and gain a large number of high-quality customers.
As the number of high-quality customers who own 'Qianli Hushi' is about to reach its limit, the sales volume of 'Qianli Hushi' is decreasing.
Half a year passed, and Yun's Company did not purchase "Thousand Miles of Mutual Vision" from Li Shiming for two consecutive months.
Moreover, Li Shiming clearly felt the change in Yun's Trading Company's attitude towards him. This does not mean that Yun Ze's attitude is bad. Yun Ze cannot fully represent Yun's Trading Company.
In the past, whenever he purchased some supplies, Yun's Trading Company would always help him with all its strength, especially those ordinary items that were of low value, large in quantity, and large in size. Yun's Trading Company would always use its secular connections to get him everything he wanted.
But recently, among the supplies he ordered, Yun’s Trading Company rejected some of his orders, which were orders for ordinary items.
In addition, the prices of some other materials have also increased significantly.
Every time Yunze delivered goods, he would helplessly apologize to Li Shiming, but the rift in the relationship between Li Shiming and Yun's Trading Company was inevitable.
