Xunfeng, Li Shiming came here again, but he didn't expect that this time he was not here as a spiritual plant husband.
The cave is located on the side peak of Xun Peak, which is a peak shorter than the main peak. The cave is in the middle of the peak.
The environment here is quite special. This side of the mountain is relatively flat, except for the cave where there is a low cliff with a large drop in height.
So apart from this cave, there are spiritual fields all around.
Fortunately, monks don’t need to walk, otherwise it would be a hassle to enter and exit the cave.
Xunfeng's spiritual fields will not allow others to enter and exit at will. The price of the spiritual plants planted in the mid-grade spiritual fields is already quite high.
Some of the spiritual medicines produced in the medium-quality spiritual fields can become raw materials for elixirs in the early stage of foundation building.
Flying above the medium-grade spiritual field, you can feel the freshness of the spiritual energy here.
From time to time, you can see a dark cloud rising. That is the spirit farmer using magic to irrigate the spirit field.
It is because the spiritual plant husbands constantly stimulate the spiritual rain that the environment of Xunfeng is the best among the nine peaks.
When he arrived in front of the cave, Li Shiming took out his identity jade disc, and the cave's defensive formation automatically activated.
As soon as he entered the cave, he felt the rich spiritual energy.
Compared with the lower-grade spiritual veins, the concentration of spiritual energy here has more than doubled.
He also didn't expect that when he was in the Qi Refining Stage, he would need to change to a better spiritual vein due to insufficient spiritual energy.
When he discovered the inferior spiritual vein in the underground space of Eagle's Beak Island, he thought that the spiritual veins in the underground space were enough for him to use until he reached the peak of Qi Refining.
The cave maintains the overall style of a cultivator, with one hall and two rooms, a training room and a storage room. The spiritual energy outlet of the middle-grade spiritual vein is located in the training room.
There was no vacant space in the cave, let alone any place for him to grow spiritual plants. Outside the cave was a cliff, and further away was the sect's medium-grade spiritual field.
As for the cave, this is not Eagle Island where he can dig at will.
The sect’s Nine Peaks Cave Mansion must be maintained in the same condition as it was obtained.
The monks only have the right to use the place but not the ownership. Once they die or leave the sect, the place will be taken back.
Therefore, there are no traces left by predecessors in the cave, let alone any secrets.
Li Shiming took out the formation flag and reset the defense isolation formation, forming a double-layer formation with the original formation.
This is just his place for cultivation. He comes here to cultivate every day and returns to Eagle's Beak Island after cultivation.
He also discovered the shortcoming of the Jiufeng Cave, which was the sense of oppression. The small space made him feel like he had returned to the big city of his previous life. In a big city, being able to start from scratch and own a two-bedroom house was already considered a great success.
But I was used to the spacious environment of Eagle's Beak Island, where even the underground space was bigger than this cave.
Li Shiming came here to take over the cave and rearrange the formation. After doing all this, he turned around and left the cave without staying for long.
"Senior Brother Li!" a crisp voice came.
Li Shiming looked over when he heard the voice, and could not help but nodded with a smile, while the wings behind him flew towards that side.
Outside the middle-grade spiritual field, there were three Qi-refining cultivators standing. Among them was the female cultivator Jin Fengzhi, who had entered the sect together with him and was also from Da Xia.
Jin Fengzhi, the fourteenth princess of Daxia, no longer had the temperament of a princess. She wore a robe issued upon joining the sect, without any other decoration on her body.
"Junior Sister Jin, have you become a spiritual plant husband?" Li Shiming smiled and nodded to the two cultivators next to him, then asked Jin Fengzhi.
"I have just learned the 'Earth Spirit Art' as well, and I am only serving as Ling Zhifu's assistant!" Jin Fengzhi shook her head helplessly. She remembered that Li Shiming had learned Ling Zhifu's magic when he first entered the sect.
And it was also because of his identity as a junior spiritual plant husband that he chose to leave the sect’s cave residence on Jiufeng Mountain.
"This is Senior Brother Fucheng, the spiritual plant I follow! This is Senior Brother Zhang!" Jin Fengzhi only then realized that she had forgotten to introduce the two people, and hurriedly introduced Li Shiming, then asked curiously: "Senior Brother Li has also entered Xunfeng?"
She was still very curious about meeting Li Shiming here.
Since the end of the new employee training and the separation from Li Shiming, there has been no news of Li Shiming.
Li Shiming's aura now is completely different from before, especially when he was flying with the pair of wings behind him just now. It was obvious that he was doing well, which made her extremely envious.
In addition, the new disciples who entered the sect at the same time are currently doing very badly. There is even no one to turn to when they are bullied because there is no leader.
"I didn't join Xunfeng, I just applied for a new cave. It's over there." Li Shiming did not hide it and said, pointing in the direction of the cliff.
"I didn't expect that Senior Brother Li's cave is so close to us. We need to take better care of him in the future!" Senior Brother Lingzhi Fucheng, who had been silent, spoke up.
When he first met Li Shiming, he felt that Li Shiming's strength was at the fifth level of Qi Refining, the same realm as him.
So when Jin Fengzhi took the initiative to greet him, he did not show any emotion.
Jin Fengzhi has only been in the sect for three years and is only at the second level of Qi Refining. If she had not learned the 'Earth Spirit Art', which is still somewhat useful, she would probably still be busy with hard labor tasks.
Let’s look at Li Shiming again. The difference in strength between him and his peers at the same period is so huge. Either he is extremely talented or he has someone behind him. No matter which one it is, he cannot afford to offend.
When he heard that Li Shiming's cave was right on the cliff, he realized that Li Shiming's identity was not simple.
That cave has a medium-grade spiritual vein. Apart from geniuses at the ninth level of Qi Refining who have the hope of being promoted to the Foundation Establishment stage, only Foundation Establishment cultivators are qualified to occupy a medium-grade spiritual vein.
However, Li Shiming was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, but he occupied a cave with a medium-grade spiritual vein. Senior Brother Cheng dared not remain silent any longer, for fear of causing Li Shiming's disgust.
"Brother Cheng, you are too polite. Junior Sister Jin and I are both from Da Xia. I hope that Brother Cheng can take care of her!" Li Shiming said with a smile.
"Of course!" Brother Cheng agreed with great joy when he heard his words.
This is considered as getting to know Li Shiming. If we get along with each other more in the future, maybe we can really become friends.
Jin Fengzhi had mixed feelings. When she heard Senior Brother Cheng call Li Shiming "Senior Brother", she knew that Li Shiming's strength was at least similar to that of Senior Brother Cheng.
The fact that Senior Brother Cheng, a mid-level spiritual plant husband, was so polite to him showed that the cave was very extraordinary.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Li. My classmates and I hope to have a gathering with you when you have time!" Jin Fengzhi bowed to express her gratitude.
"Okay, I'll send the message to the cave when the time comes. Although this is a temporary cave, I'll come here once a day." Li Shiming agreed with a smile.
Although there were no outstanding monks among the monks of the same period, there was still a sense of loyalty and loyalty.
Besides, these cultivators all came from the secular world, and there is a high possibility that they will return to the secular world after they can no longer continue in the world of immortal cultivation.
Even though they are the weakest in the world of immortals, they have a huge influence when they return to the secular world.
Although practicing the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique' requires going to the cave in Xunfeng, after adjusting the time for practicing the main technique, it does not have much impact.
Every afternoon, Li Shiming would go to Xunfeng Cave to practice. With the spiritual energy supply from the mid-grade spiritual vein, he believed that the effect of his practice would reach the expected value.
He and his clone were sitting in the training room of the cave. Behind them was the spiritual energy outlet of the middle-grade spiritual vein, and around them was a spirit gathering formation.
A mid-grade spiritual vein can provide cultivation for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and is more than enough for the cultivation of two Qi Refining cultivators.
The clone's practice of the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique' was stabilized at the 100 practice speed of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, while Li Shiming's original body was maintained at the highest speed value of 38.79.
But after practicing once, Li Shiming found that the effect of his practice exceeded the theoretical effect.
According to the theoretical value, the cultivation speed of the main body is 138.79, but the actual effect far exceeds this value.
Only then did he realize a problem that he had not noticed before: the cultivation speed of a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining and the cultivation speed of a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining cannot be evaluated by the same standard.
Previously, the spiritual environment was unable to meet the requirements for cultivation. When the concentration of spiritual energy was sufficient, the increase in his own spiritual power allowed him to discover this.
This is a good thing. Not only will his cultivation speed surpass that of geniuses with natural spiritual roots, but it will also allow him to catch up with the realm of his clone as soon as possible.
As for allowing the clone to advance to the foundation-building stage, he had changed his mind long ago. At least he would have to wait until the main body reached the peak of Qi Refining before considering the clone's advancement.
After finishing his training, he put his clone into the computer room.
When he walked out of the training room, he found a sound transmission note floating in the defensive formation.
He received the sound transmission talisman, which was a message from Jin Fengzhi, inviting him to meet in a cave.
The cave is located at the foot of the mountain and is very inconspicuous among a group of caves of the same format.
The caves here are all the caves of the cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining. The spiritual veins inside share the same spiritual vein. Of course, there is no need to worry about the spiritual energy, as it is enough for them to consume.
In terms of spiritual energy, as long as you are within the Nine Peaks, there is nothing to worry about as a disciple of the sect.
If Li Shiming had stayed in the Nine Peaks of the sect, then there is a high probability that his cave would be in this area.
He arrived outside the cave on time. The magic circle of the cave was activated. When he walked in, he found that there was a courtyard inside.
Although the yard is not big, it is big enough for monks to plant some flowers and plants.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Li!" Seven young monks, including Jin Fengzhi, bowed and saluted in unison.
"Long time no see, fellow disciples!" Li Shiming felt very emotional as he looked at these young monks.
He is considered older among his peers. He is eighteen years old, while the youngest of these young monks is only fifteen years old.
After three years of sect life, they have all matured.
It’s a pity that the strongest among these junior brothers is only at the second level of Qi Refining, and it’s obvious that they are not doing well.
This is understandable, as cultivators of the same period need to take care of each other. However, this group of newcomers is a little special. The newcomers who participated in the Ascension Conference were attacked on the way, and in the end only ten newcomers arrived at the sect.
Among them, two newcomers lost their determination to practice Taoism because of the attack and fell into complete depravity.
Even the seven monks in front of them had suffered a great impact, and because they had no powerful peers to look after them, their growth rate was very slow.
In fact, in the same training session, 32 new recruits cultivated spiritual energy vortexes, but the problem was that those new recruits from the sect’s sea area were not the same kind of people as those new recruits who participated in the Ascension Conference.
Those local newcomers all have connections with the sect to some extent, but the newcomers participating in the Ascension Conference have no one to rely on.
So after hearing that Li Shiming had stepped forward, Jin Fengzhi and others jointly invested and contacted Li Shiming. Needless to say, the meaning of this was obvious.
"Please sit down!" Li Shiming saw the seven people's reluctance, smiled and pressed his hand.
Several kinds of spiritual fruits and a pot of spiritual tea were placed on the stone table in the yard. This was the result of seven people's hard work.
Jin Fengzhi took the initiative to pour a cup of spiritual tea for Li Shiming. The quality of the spiritual tea was not good, but as low-level members of the sect, they were very thoughtful to be able to get the spiritual tea.
"Senior brother, which peak are you in now?" Jin Fengzhi asked with a clever smile.
The others all looked over with hope in their eyes. The better Li Shiming lived, the more help he would be to them.
They are all low-level disciples, otherwise they would have found out about Li Shiming long ago.
You have to know that the assassination of Li Shiming by the Yun family caused quite a stir in the sect. The impact that Li Shiming created through the sect's formation at that time was really too great.
"I'm in Duifeng and I'm an intermediate formation master. What about you?" Li Shiming had no intention of hiding anything and asked back after answering.
The seven people told their respective situations. Four of them chose Lingzhifu, which was mainly influenced by Li Shiming. The remaining three were in other peaks.
Regardless of whether they are spirit plant husbands or other professions, they are currently at the entry stage.
It cannot be said that they are stupid, there is no simple secondary job in cultivating immortals. Moreover, their own spiritual power is not good at all. They were still young when they joined the sect, and they have been mainly in the process of learning knowledge in the past three years.
"We are disciples of the same period. I also understand your situation. I have two choices for you. One is twenty cultivation-assisting pills, which are enough for you to break through the fourth level of Qi Refining. The other is that I will help you try to master secondary job spells. Of course, I can only help those in the profession of Spirit Plant Husband. You three can only choose the auxiliary pills!" Li Shiming said with a smile.
The people he was talking to were the four spirit plant husbands headed by Jin Fengzhi. He had never come into contact with the secondary positions that the other three were learning, and the skills acquired within the sect could not be taught to each other, so naturally he could only help the spirit plant husbands.
All seven of them were happy. No matter what, it was a good thing that Li Shiming was willing to help them.
There is no need to think too much about the three of them. Cultivation-assisted elixirs may not be attractive to cultivators with good spiritual roots.
However, for cultivators like them with poor spiritual roots, practicing with auxiliary elixirs can greatly increase their practice speed.
Li Shiming took out three porcelain bottles from his storage bag and handed them to the three people.
These pills were obtained by him from the monks he killed. Putting them in the storage bag on his body was just a disguise. The real good stuff was all in the machine room.
He never used elixirs. On the one hand, his cultivation speed had reached the limit and elixirs had no effect at all. On the other hand, he was worried that the drug resistance developed by taking elixirs would affect the effectiveness of the foundation-building pills.
