Li Shiming placed the six corpses in a storage bag. If he was not currently unable to refine corpses, he would have thought of refining Du Bingyan's corpse into a refined corpse.

This is the corpse of a genius cultivator, and a corpse of someone who has reached the peak of Qi Refining strength. Once it is successfully refined, it will basically be a high-quality bronze corpse.

However, he currently has no intention of cultivating corpse refining anymore, mainly because corpse refining is not as helpful to him as before.

In addition, he needs to report the matter. This is what Master Song from Lingji Pavilion has promised him. The Holy Ice Sect will not take action against him. These six corpses are the evidence.

He first continued to complete the formation. He had no interest in building other formations today, so he took out the flying boat and returned to the sect.

On the flying boat, he began to check the spoils of war.

As expected, there was nothing special in the storage bags of the five ordinary monks.

It would be very good for such a cultivator to own one or two high-grade magic tools of ordinary quality, but Li Shiming's wealth now makes him no longer capable of affording high-grade magic tools of ordinary quality.

However, he made an unexpected discovery in Du Bingyan's storage bag.

"Another Foundation Establishment Pill!" Li Shiming took out the porcelain bottle, opened it, and confirmed it before muttering to himself.

He really couldn't understand why he had to bring precious foundation-building pills with him when going out on a mission?

In fact, this is easy to understand. The Foundation Establishment Pill is extremely precious to the cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. This most important treasure is naturally the safest to carry with you.

In addition, Du Bingyan has extremely strong self-confidence and believes that he is capable of protecting himself, and no place is safer than in his own storage bag.

"The fifth one!" He put away the Foundation Establishment Pill and said happily.

For such a large sect, they only refined more than ten foundation-building pills in five years, but he alone had almost half of the amount that the sect produced in five years.

However, he did not complain about having too many Foundation Building Pills. Elder Yin had warned him to prepare more Foundation Building Pills.

He had to get as many Foundation Establishment Pills as possible before breaking through to increase his chances of success in promotion.

Since the spiritual roots are not good enough, then use the foundation-building pills to build it up. At least you can build up a foundation-building stage.

Du Bingyan also sent him a new jade flying boat, which was of better quality than the previous one. It should be prepared by the sect specifically for talented cultivators.

The other is a super-grade sword-shaped magic weapon, but unfortunately it is a water- and ice-attributed super-grade sword-shaped magic weapon, which is not suitable for Li Shiming.

The rest are some spirit stones and several high-quality spare magical instruments.

While counting the harvest, the flying boat returned to the Nine Peaks of the sect.

He lowered the flying boat to Lingji Pavilion, folded it up and walked in.

"Li Shiming, the mission was not completed so quickly, right?" Uncle Song was still a little surprised to see Li Shiming.

She has been keeping an eye on the task assigned to Li Shiming. Li Shiming's construction speed is unexpectedly fast, but he still has a small amount of task to complete.

"Hello, Uncle Song. I was attacked by the Holy Ice Sect. The monks from the Holy Ice Sect found my location accurately!" Li Shiming said as he handed over the storage bag.

Uncle Song's eyes narrowed slightly, she grabbed the storage bag and scanned the storage bag with her spiritual thoughts.

There was no need to confirm anything. When she saw Du Bingyan's body, she confirmed that what Li Shiming said was true.

"It's my mistake. I will report it to the sect. Also, when you are setting up the formation, I will ask the sect to issue a protection mission!" Uncle Song said with a grim expression.

To be honest, she was still extremely shocked when she saw Du Bingyan's body.

The talented monks of the sect are all monks who have been carefully trained by the sect.

The rest of the fighters are also the strongest at the same level. It might be possible to defeat them, but it would be difficult to kill them, unless a foundation-building cultivator takes action.

It was obvious that Li Shiming killed Du Bingyan without the help of the sect's foundation-building cultivators.

"Uncle Song, please return Du Bingyan's body to me after you have used it as evidence. I plan to use it to refine a corpse!" Although Li Shiming had no intention of refining a corpse, he did not want to hand over the body for nothing.

"Du Bingyan is a cultivator that the Holy Ice Sect has focused on training. It doesn't matter if you kill him, but if you want to use him to refine a corpse, the Holy Ice Sect will never agree!" Uncle Song glanced at Li Shiming and said coldly.

Li Shiming inexplicably had a feeling that this Uncle Song didn't seem to like him.

This feeling could only be sensed after a long period of communication with Uncle Song. Uncle Song was a high-level formation master with strong spirit and consciousness. It was not easy for him to sense Uncle Song's emotions.

However, through this little information he perceived, Li Shiming began to doubt whether Uncle Song was targeting him.

This task of setting up one hundred formations seemed to be beneficial to him, as it could help him obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill as soon as possible, but it also took him away from the sect and put him in danger.

Uncle Song had no idea that he had a split soul monitoring the surroundings, and could tell if there was any danger approaching from afar while setting up the formation.

"Uncle Song, please state my request when reporting to the sect!" Li Shiming insisted on his opinion.

Uncle Martial Uncle Song's explanation did not convince him. What did he mean by the Holy Ice Sect would never agree? The Holy Ice Sect had already attacked him many times. Couldn't he use the corpses of those he had killed to increase his strength?

"I will report it for you. Don't accept the mission yet. There will be cultivators who will take up the protection mission in two days at the latest!" Uncle Song waved his hand and said calmly.

Li Shiming bowed and left Lingji Pavilion. Uncle Song in Lingji Pavilion had a gloomy face.

Uncle Song really didn't like Li Shiming. This had nothing to do with Li Shiming, but was because of Zhuge Xuan.

Zhuge Xuan and Li Shiming were attacked while traveling together. Zhuge Xuan died, but Li Shiming survived.

Although Uncle Master Song and Zhuge Xuan were not married, they had already formed an alliance. After learning the news of Zhuge Xuan's death, she took the initiative to propose to guard the formation.

Taking advantage of the faction's preparation to deal with a big trouble, she promoted a series of transformation plans for the faction's formations.

It contains some real suggestions for the sect, and also a bit of selfish motives.

The task that Li Shiming accepted was to set up one hundred formations, which was far away from the sect's scope. How could Uncle Song not know that there was a certain degree of danger.

Although it is impossible for the Holy Ice Sect to use Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators to deal with Li Shiming, the fight between cultivators at the Qi Refining Stage is tacitly accepted by all sects, and being killed can only mean that one's own cultivation is not enough.

Uncle Song suppressed some thoughts. She was not going to do it herself, and she didn't even have the idea of ​​taking action again.

Li Shiming's fighting power is stronger than one could imagine. Before this sect crisis is resolved, it is impossible for the Holy Ice Sect to risk the possibility of internal strife between the two sects and use foundation-building cultivators to assassinate Li Shiming.

"Zhuge Xuan, how can he be alive while you are dead and there is not even a corpse!" Uncle Song was unable to let go of the knot in his heart. He held the storage bag tightly in his hand and said dejectedly.

Li Shiming had no idea how the Tianhai Sect and the Shengbing Sect communicated.

He only knew that Elder Yin found him two days later.

"Shiming, this is for you!" Elder Yin threw a box over as soon as they met.

Li Shiming took the box inexplicably. After opening it, he felt a chill that made him shiver. Fortunately, his physique was strong enough and he was not affected by the cold.

"What is this?" he asked after a moment of hesitation.

Even if one knows nothing about the spiritual object in the box, one knows that its quality must be extraordinary and its value is not low.

"Don't even think about Du Bingyan's body. This is the compensation given to you by the Holy Ice Sect. It's a second-grade thousand-year-old cold crystal, enough for you to refine a spiritual weapon!" Elder Yin said unhappily.

In order to get back at Li Shiming, he went to the Holy Ice Sect in person.

After receiving clear assurances from the Holy Ice Sect and receiving compensation, he let the matter go as they still had to fight the enemy together.

"Thank you, Uncle Yin!" Li Shiming knew that Elder Yin must have put in a lot of effort in this matter, otherwise how could a corpse be worth the material for a second-grade spiritual weapon? This was what Elder Yin had done to extort money from him.

"What a pity it's not of metal!" he muttered as he put the box away.

"It's gold attribute. You don't know the value of it. The second-grade Millennium Cold Crystal is made into an auxiliary spiritual tool. It has a beneficial effect on the cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Period. If we were not in the right, how could we get this from the Holy Ice Sect? With your qualifications, your cultivation speed must be extremely slow when you reach the Foundation Establishment Period. With the auxiliary spiritual tool made of Millennium Cold Crystal, there may be a glimmer of hope!" Elder Yin pointed at Li Shiming angrily.

The value of a second-grade Millennium Cold Crystal is indeed not worth considering by a Jindan cultivator.

But this is the specialty of the Holy Ice Sect, and its production is extremely small. Only a few foundation-building monks who are focused on training in the sect have the opportunity to obtain it.

Mainly, its effect of assisting in the cultivation during the foundation-building period is extremely important, improving the efficiency of the effect and reducing the risk of going astray.

If the Holy Ice Sect had not been considering Elder Yin's face, and if it had not regarded Li Shiming as his son-in-law, how could they have held their noses and given such compensation?

Of course, the compensation was ultimately paid for by Elder Baili, and the other two Jindan of the Holy Ice Sect were somewhat dissatisfied with Elder Baili.

The most crucial thing is that Elder Yin acknowledged the identity of Li Shiming as believed by the Holy Ice Sect for the sake of the second-grade Millennium Cold Crystal.

"You can go and do the sect's formation mission. I don't think the Holy Ice Sect will take any action. In order to prevent accidents, there will be cultivators to protect you in setting up the formation." Elder Yin finally instructed.

He was somewhat puzzled as to why Lingji Pavilion gave Li Shiming a mission but did not provide him with corresponding protection.

Under normal circumstances, when a sect sends a formation master out of the sect to carry out a mission, unless the formation master himself is a foundation-building cultivator and has the ability to protect himself, other cultivators will be sent to protect him.

However, considering that the senior formation master on duty at Lingji Pavilion was newly rotated, it was normal that he might be a little inconsiderate in handling matters.

When Li Shiming left the sect, he left with another Qi-refining cultivator.

This Qi Refining cultivator is named He Chuan. He is at the ninth level of Qi Refining and has abundant Qi and blood in his body. Although his spiritual power has not reached the peak of Qi Refining, the spiritual power fluctuations he emits are extremely strong. He is a talented cultivator that Tianhai Sect is focusing on training.

"Junior Brother Li, your formation master is really rich. This flying boat is of higher quality than mine!" He Chuan did not have the arrogance of a genius cultivator at all.

"Brother He, you are wrong. There is no such thing as a formation master who is rich. This flying boat of mine was given to me by a friend!" Li Shiming explained with a smile.

"Was it a gift from Senior Sister Yin?" He Chuan asked with a chuckle, a curious look on his face.

Li Shiming couldn't help but take a step back, mainly because He Chuan's attitude made him a little overwhelmed.

He Chuan is older than Yin Shilan, but he calls Yin Shilan "senior sister".

Of course, what Li Shiming didn't know was that He Chuan called Yin Shilan "Senior Sister" because she was taking advantage of the fact that he was a talented cultivator in the sect.

You should know that in the sect, even the sect leader calls Yin Shilan "Junior Sister".

"No, don't ask!" Li Shiming waved his hand.

"Junior Brother Li, the person who sent you the flying boat must be a woman. You are done. I will tell Senior Sister Yin when I go back!" He Chuan said with a wink.

Li Shiming felt inexplicably guilty, but he quickly realized what he was feeling guilty about.

"We're just ahead, get ready!" Li Shiming changed the subject.

"Junior brother, you set up the formation here, and I will set up some small tricks around!" He Chuan, who actually started to do the work, was extremely serious and responsible.

Li Shiming certainly would not rely on He Chuan for his safety. He used the 'Soul Controlling and Soul Splitting Technique' to split his main spirit into eight souls and scattered them to distant places to act as guards.

While he was setting up the formation, He Chuan didn't say a word. He flew around in the air from time to time, always paying attention to the distance.

Only when Li Shiming has completed setting up a formation and moved to the next location will it return to its previous state.

"Junior brother, I heard that you killed Du Bingyan?" The flying boat started, and He Chuan approached Li Shiming and asked softly.

When he accepted the mission, he asked his elders to inquire about Li Shiming's strength. He was extremely skeptical that Li Shiming, a mid-level formation master, could kill Du Bingyan.

"Yes, Du Bingyan's strength is still good!" Li Shiming did not avoid it and nodded in admission.

He was telling the truth. If Du Bingyan didn't want to besiege him, and he didn't use spiritual attacks like the Spirit Jade Sword, it would probably take some time to deal with Du Bingyan.

"You have the ability to kill Du Bingyan, so why does the sect still give me the protection mission?" He Chuan said a little depressed after hearing Li Shiming's admission.

He has fought with Du Bingyan before. The talented cultivators from the seven major sects will have some overlapping tasks, so there will be a chance for them to meet.

Although the battle between him and Du Bingyan did not result in a winner, it could be considered a draw overall.

The gap between the top Qi Refining cultivators is extremely small, and it is even more difficult to kill the opponent, unless one has the means to kill with one strike.

"I'm a formation master, I have to set up the formation. Besides, wouldn't it be nice to get good merits for accepting missions?" Li Shiming replied nonchalantly.

"By the way, have you heard that there is an invasion by foreign enemies on the Seven Star Island? The sect's recent strengthening of the formation is related to this matter!" He Chuan changed the subject and showed off his knowledge.

He was not worried about the sect's secrets being known to outsiders. Who was Li Shiming? He was Elder Yin's son-in-law. It was said that Elder Yin took advantage of this relationship to extort a large sum of money from Elder Baili of the Holy Ice Sect.

Cultivation is really boring, and He Chuan likes these gossips. Usually, the news he knows is also known by several other talented cultivators, so he can't find anyone to brag to.
