"It is not easy for a sect to train foundation-building monks. I know you have complaints in your heart, but the sect has tried its best to be fair!" Sect Master Yu persuaded patiently.
The dignified leader of the Tianhai Sect was able to persuade Li Shiming in this way, firstly because of his relationship with Yin Shilan, and secondly because of Li Shiming’s own talent in formation.
It hasn't been long since Li Shiming became an intermediate formation master who possesses the Starlight Sea formation. His promotion speed is even faster than Yin Shilan. Judging from this perspective, Li Shiming's formation talent is stronger than Yin Shilan's.
"I have no complaints. I just hope to get 'Thousand Miles of Vision' back. I will not accept the compensation from the Yun family!" Li Shiming said stubbornly.
Sect Leader Yu felt a headache coming on; Li Shiming's attitude made him feel alienated.
He took out his jade identity disc and contacted Deacon Xu.
Deacon Xu arrived soon, but his face looked a little bad.
"The case has been concluded. Return Li Shiming's 'Thousand Miles of Vision' to him!" Sect Leader Yu waved his hand and ordered.
"Master Yu, the 'Thousand Miles Vision' was taken away by Master Zhao Feng, who said that he wanted to verify the authenticity of the evidence, and it has not been returned yet!" Deacon Xu did not take out the 'Thousand Miles Vision', but explained.
"Then let Master Zhao Feng return!" Sect Leader Yu said angrily. He turned to Li Shiming and said, "Wait here for a while!"
Li Shiming nodded and waited quietly.
The 'Thousand Miles Mutual Vision' was bound to his identity jade disc, so it would be useless if someone else took it.
Deacon Xu returned not long after he left. Looking at his expression, Sect Leader Yu knew that things were a little troublesome.
"Here are one thousand spirit stones. Master Zhao Feng said that he accidentally broke the 'Thousand Miles Mutual Vision', so he will pay double compensation to Li Shiming!" Deacon Xu took out one thousand spirit stones and placed them in front of Li Shiming.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became subtle. Li Shiming didn't even ask for the compensation of 150,000 spirit stones. He only had this reasonable request, to get his belongings back, and it turned out like this.
"I would also like to trouble Deacon Xu to return the one thousand spirit stones to Master Zhao Feng on my behalf. Even if my things are broken into pieces, please return the pieces to me!" Li Shiming pushed the spirit stones in front of him back.
"Master Yu, I will go back first!" Li Shiming stood up and bowed to Master Yu.
"Tell us what happened?" After Li Shiming left, Sect Leader Yu looked at Deacon Xu and asked in a deep voice.
Although monks can cause huge damage at will, they are also the ones who can control their own power the most. He doesn't believe that they accidentally made a mistake in the 'Thousand Miles Mutual Vision'.
"Master Zhao Feng gave 'Thousand Miles of Vision' to the newly supported business for research, but for some reason it burned up as soon as it was disassembled!" Deacon Xu replied helplessly.
This is certainly not the explanation given by Master Zhao Feng, but the information obtained by the intelligence system in the hands of Master Yu.
Deacon Xu is an important member of the sect's intelligence system, and he even sees some intelligence earlier than Sect Leader Yu.
Sect Leader Yu shook his head. The Qianlong Commercial Bank, which was related to him, had formed a sales network using the 'Thousand Miles Mutual Vision Second Generation'. Coupled with the demise of the Yun's Commercial Bank, this market was completely occupied by the Qianlong Commercial Bank.
Once this type of Qi Refining stage market occupies a relatively large share, the profits will be staggering.
Master Zhao Feng and Sect Leader Yu might not care about this little bit of benefit, but they also have younger disciples, and they must always strive for some legitimate benefits for them.
Sect Leader Yu cannot say whether Master Zhao Feng’s behavior is right or wrong. For the benefit of Genfeng and the interests of future generations of disciples, this is understandable.
But at this time, such provocation to Li Shiming would make Li Shiming even more disappointed with the sect.
"I hope time can ease everything, and I hope Li Shiming won't really leave the sect!" he said with emotion.
It is impossible to allow an intermediate formation master who has mastered the knowledge of the sect's large formation to leave the sect. If he has this intention, the only possibility is to be killed by the sect.
Therefore, Sect Leader Yu does not want it to come to that step. A talent like Li Shiming's should not be affected by the infighting within the sect.
He didn't understand Li Shiming. After Li Shiming traveled to this world, he didn't have a strong sense of belonging even in his secular home.
He joined the Tianhai Sect and was trying to accept himself as a cultivator of the sect, but at this time he was exposed to the filthiness of the sect.
Especially since Master Zhao Feng was a high-ranking member of the Tianhai Sect, his attitude disappointed Li Shiming greatly and even caused him to distrust the sect.
Of course, with his current realm and strength, the only thing that matters to the sect is his talent in formation. He has no influence on other aspects at all.
Even if he has a talent for formations, he is still potential. Only when he becomes a high-level formation master can he be considered a truly important talent in the sect.
Since the Yun family did not pay 150,000 spirit stones, they would only call Li Shiming stupid in their hearts. However, in Li Shiming's mind, this hatred would become his reason for taking action against the Yun family.
As for Master Zhao Feng, Li Shiming had no choice but to endure until the day when he had the strength to face Master Zhao Feng. This was the world of cultivating immortals.
Li Shiming, who became famous for the attack in the sect and the creator of "Thousand Miles Mutual Vision", has completely disappeared from the sect after half a year.
The cooperation between Qianlong Trading Company and Li Shiming is still ongoing, and a large amount of materials are transported to Yingzui Island through Qianlong Trading Company.
No one knew what research he was doing, but as the creator of "Thousand Miles Mutual Vision", no one was surprised that he wanted a large amount of supplies.
On this day, in a cave at the top of the sect’s central peak, a terrifying pressure erupted.
The cultivators from the Nine Peaks all sensed this pressure, but fortunately it was fleeting and did not cause any impact on the cultivators from the sect.
Sect Leader Yu and many of the sect's powerful monks flew to the top of the Central Peak.
The cave at the top of the middle peak is the best in the entire sect. It is the spiritual energy outlet of the sect’s main spiritual vein. It is also the center of the sect’s formation and is protected most comprehensively.
The formation of the cave was activated, and a handsome man who looked to be about thirty years old with long hair slowly walked out from it.
"Greetings, Second Elder!" Sect Master Yu and all the monks bowed and greeted him.
At the same time, two figures appeared in front of the handsome man.
"Congratulations, Brother Yin, on your advancement to the middle stage of the Golden Core!" The people who came were the sect's elders Quan and Sheng. They sensed the aura of Elder Yin and congratulated him in unison.
Don't underestimate this step. From the early to the middle stage of the Golden Core, most of the Golden Cores of the major sects are stuck in the early stage of the Golden Core and cannot make any further progress.
Since then, the sect's strength has increased and its voice has also increased a lot.
"Junior Brother Quan, Junior Sister Sheng, it's a stroke of luck!" Elder Yin smiled and returned the greeting.
Sect Master Yu and other sect leaders were overjoyed. Elder Yin's advancement to the middle stage of the Golden Core made the sect even stronger. They, the actual managers, also had more confidence in getting along with outsiders.
"Congratulations to the Second Elder for his advancement to the middle stage of the Golden Core!" They all bowed to congratulate him.
Elder Yin waved his hand, and an invisible force lifted them up.
"Daddy!" A graceful figure stood out from the side. Yin Shilan looked at her father whom she had not seen for nearly three years and called softly.
"Lan'er has grown up and is now a big girl!" Elder Yin's handsome face showed a fatherly look as he looked at Yin Shilan and said with a smile.
"Lan'er misses you so much!" When Yin Shilan said this, she didn't know what she was thinking about, and tears of grievance appeared in her eyes.
Elder Yin was very sensitive. He felt the grievance of his daughter Yin Shilan. Although he still had a smile on his face, his eyes were sweeping towards Master Yu standing beside him.
The meaning in that look was very clear; Sect Leader Yu needed to give him an explanation.
"Second Elder, some time ago, the newly promoted intermediate formation master Li Shiming was assassinated in Genfeng. Maybe my junior sister felt a little wronged because she thought I handled the matter unfairly!" Sect Leader Yu hesitated for a moment and bowed.
"Xiao Yu, you look rough, but you have too many thoughts. I'm afraid there is no hope for you to advance to the Golden Core stage!" Elder Yin said without any politeness. He then said to Yin Shilan who was wiping tears beside him: "Don't be sad, Daddy will help you vent your anger!"
"I'm just happy to see my daddy!" Yin Shilan was too embarrassed to admit that she was crying because of Li Shiming, she lowered her head and stammered.
Elder Yin smiled, thinking that his perception was correct.
He waved his hand, and this place was the core position of the sect's formation. In an instant, the information about the assassination of Li Shiming that had happened before was taken out from the database.
He looked at the jade slip in his hand for a while, his face showing no sadness or joy, but his slightly fluttering hair made the monks present sense his inner unrest.
"Very good, the Holy Ice Sect actually dared to extend its hands into the sect. I will talk to that Baili guy first, and then talk about the matters within the sect!" Elder Yin put down the jade slip, laughed instead of getting angry, and said slowly.
No one, including the two Jindan, spoke at this time.
Elder Yin mobilized the sect's formation, and a water curtain appeared in front of him. After waiting for a moment, the figure of Elder Baili appeared in the water curtain.
Several major sects on the mainland all have means of direct communication, but this means of communication will not be open to the outside world.
Because this needs to be maintained through the respective sect's large formation and multiple transfer formations in between, the number of channels is very small, and at most it can accommodate a few people communicating at the same time.
This means of communication between the major sects is used to ensure the fastest response when important events occur at the top level, and is not used at other times.
The communication card used by Li Shiming and Ren Feier is a direct communication line between Tianhai Sect and Xuanming Sect. Only Ren Feier has the courage to do such a thing.
When Elder Yin saw Elder Baili in the water curtain, he was stunned at first, because Elder Baili in the water curtain looked haggard and did not have the charm he had the last time they met.
The body of a Jindan cultivator is almost solidified. As long as he has not reached his death limit, all his energy and spirit are concentrated in the Jindan, so it is difficult for him to appear haggard.
There is only one possibility, that is, Elder Baili was injured, which made him so haggard.
"Old Monster Baili, hand over to me the person who contacted our sect and killed our fellow disciples, otherwise I will go to the Shengbing Sect to ask for him personally!" Elder Yin said lightly.
This was already a great courtesy to Elder Baili, and it was also an attitude of trying to keep the situation peaceful.
But he knew that the instigator of this matter was not Elder Baili, otherwise he would not have found Elder Baili at the first time.
Unexpectedly, Elder Baili's reaction was even greater than Elder Yin's, and he almost jumped up and yelled, completely lacking the demeanor of a Jindan.
"Old Monster Yin, didn't I just want to take action against your son-in-law? You two are so unkind. Old Demon Ren set a trap for me, causing me to lose a magic weapon and be seriously injured. He even killed my disciple on the spot. What's wrong with me taking revenge?" Elder Baili's voice was so loud that his indignation could be felt even through the water curtain.
Elder Baili didn't know that it wasn't just Elder Yin who was present at the Tianhai Sect, but all the top leaders of the Tianhai Sect were there.
Elder Quan and Elder Sheng both looked at Elder Yin with admiration, and the other senior Foundation Establishment stage masters also had stars in their eyes.
Elder Yin was also a little confused. Is his wife so fierce?
Although my wife is quite powerful and has many means, she is not sure if she can deal with a Jindan of the same level, especially a very powerful Jindan like Elder Baili.
But Elder Baili could not lie. The loss of a magic weapon would be a huge blow to the Golden Core.
As for being a direct disciple, that is nothing compared to this.
If Li Shiming were here, he would definitely understand why he designed a trap to deal with the foundation-building cultivators of the Holy Ice Sect, but ended up attracting Elder Baili, the Jindan, and causing Elder Baili to flee in panic.
You know, even if a magic weapon was destroyed, Elder Baili still had the strength to fight at that time.
But Elder Baili judged the scene at that time to be a trap set for him by Demon Ren. After his magic weapon was destroyed and his body suffered backlash, he immediately thought of escaping.
We can’t blame Elder Baili. Apart from a Jindan cultivator, who else could make such a big fuss?
The most important thing is that this method is very consistent with the habits of Ren Lao Mo. The extremely strange way of attack is sudden and effective.
Elder Baili judged at the time that if he stayed, he would be held back by Old Demon Ren and might even die on the spot.
So he used the blood escape method which was very detrimental to his body, and returned to the sect thousands of miles away. However, this also made his injuries worse, turning ordinary backlash into serious injuries.
Just as Elder Baili said, I have suffered so much loss, what's wrong with revenge?
"Son-in-law?" Elder Yin reacted to the attack on Elder Baili. He thought of another thing Elder Baili said and turned to look at Yin Shilan.
Yin Shilan naturally also heard the title "son-in-law". Her face turned red and she lowered her head even deeper in embarrassment.
Elder Yin felt a pain in his heart that his most well-behaved daughter already had a lover.
However, he suppressed his feelings when he remembered that he was still communicating with Elder Baili.
"By the way, I contacted you to inform you that I have been promoted to the middle stage of the Golden Core. When I have time, I will come to talk to you about your revenge!" Elder Yin said in a deep voice to Elder Baili.
The water curtain didn't stop for a moment and was cut off in an instant.
Elder Yin still saw Elder Baili's ugly face the moment the water curtain disappeared.
