Li Shiming did not hesitate at all. He was confident that his body's ability to defend against high temperatures would not cause any harm, at least in the short term.
In order to emit as little spiritual power fluctuation as possible, he did not even activate the defensive spiritual weapon and rushed into the giant bear's lair.
He almost immediately set his eyes on the Muyang Clover, and a jade box appeared in his hand. This was a container specially prepared for storing high-quality elixirs.
In his other hand, he held a jade dagger. This dagger was not a magic weapon, but a tool for collecting herbs given to him by Xu Chuan, specially prepared for collecting Muyang clover.
The jade sword gently lifted the roots of the Muyang clover. The roots that were originally grasping the rock immediately left the rock and fell into the jade box under the touch of the jade sword.
Although the Muyang clover is still a little short of being fully mature, Xu Chuan said that the Shushan Sect has a way to ripen the Muyang clover, so there is no need to wait for it to be fully mature before picking this spiritual medicine.
Of course, if the Muyang clover is still a long way from maturity, accelerated ripening will not be able to make the third-grade spiritual medicine mature.
The advantage of doing this is that you don’t have to wait for that instant of collection time, reducing the difficulty of collection.
Li Shiming put away the Muyang clover and his eyes fell on the small flame on the red rock.
When he observed through the drone's camera before, he didn't feel anything special about the flames coming out around the red rocks.
But being at a close distance, he could feel that this small flame was completely different from the other flames, because the small flame was full of spirituality, it was definitely some kind of spiritual object.
He didn't have time to stay, so he swept his spiritual thoughts over the small flame and tried to put it away.
But at the moment when the spiritual thought touched the small flame, the small flame entered his body along his spiritual thought at an indescribable speed, or in other words, it moved instantly.
He was shocked, but there was no time to think about it. He heard the howling of a giant bear in the distance. Through the video transmitted by the surveillance camera, the giant bear had discovered that something strange had happened in its nest.
Li Shiming put the jade box into the machine room, and he flipped out of the nest. At the same time, he threw an oversized bomb into the nest.
His body turned into a sword light and rushed towards the ground. At the same time, the 'starlife' fireproof material completely wrapped his body. The whole action took only a moment, and he was about half a meter deep underground.
With a loud bang, the giant bear's lair was blown open, and countless pieces of rubble flew out.
Behind the rubble is magma, which seems to be sealed underneath by the huge rock. For some unknown reason, there is a crack here that connects to the underground magma layer, forming the growth environment of the Muyang clover.
Li Shiming blew up the rocks that sealed the crack, resulting in a small volcanic eruption.
Magma gushed outward, quickly turning the nest and the surrounding area into a sea of fire.
The giant bear was extremely fast. Although it had moved some distance away while tracking the explosion, it returned in just two breaths after sensing something unusual in the nest.
When it saw the nest explode, its eyes suddenly turned red.
Its third-grade Muyang clover and its red sun spirit fire all disappeared.
At this moment, it sensed a wave of spiritual energy in the distance that was quickly escaping. Without any hesitation, it flashed and chased after it.
It thought that the person who appeared here at this time must be the thief who stole its treasure.
On the left mountain peak, small rockets covered with formation patterns were automatically ignited as the countdown began.
This small rocket was an experiment made by Li Shiming in order to make a large rocket. Due to its size, it could neither carry people nor much ammunition, and was completely useless as an experimental object.
But using this small rocket to attract the giant bear is extremely useful. Li Shiming set the navigation of the small rocket to the lake where the four-clawed dragon monster lived.
He didn't know whether the small rocket could fly that far, considering that there were many powerful spirit beasts along the way.
The speed of a small rocket is absolutely extremely fast. After ignition, it reaches its maximum speed instantly due to its own weight.
Although the small rocket is small, its engine is completely scaled down in proportion, and the fuel used is also the rocket's liquid hydrogen.
Precisely because small rockets require less materials, he used all spiritual materials on the small rockets. This is equivalent to a low-grade magic weapon, which he customized by placing an order for Qianlong Trading Company when he was in Tianhai Sect.
After the small rocket was ignited, the formation itself emitted spiritual fluctuations. Although the spiritual fluctuations were weak, they were extremely obvious in the perception of the extremely angry half-step giant demon bear.
The giant bear transformed into a red shadow and chased after the small rocket.
Li Shiming crawled out from underground only after he saw the giant bear move away from the place through surveillance.
At this time, his whole body was wrapped in a layer of black. This was the carbonized outer layer of the 'starlife' fireproof material, but the temperature inside was still bearable.
Perhaps even the giant bear did not expect that there were creatures hiding under the magma right under its nose.
You know, even a spirit beast with fire attribute needs to use its spiritual power to ensure it won't be burned by the magma when it is in the magma.
The extremely high temperature of the magma also concealed the breath that Li Shiming tried his best to suppress.
After all, the giant bear is not a real monster, and it is in anger, which affects its ability to judge things.
This plan was jointly developed by IBMz15 and Li Shiming based on the results of the character analysis of the giant bear. It can be said that Li Shiming will only implement it if the success rate reaches more than 80%.
Li Shiming left the underground, put away the black 'starlife' fireproof material on his body, and his body turned into a sword light and fled in another direction.
After fleeing for hundreds of miles, he finally found a hidden cave to enter.
After using several spirit stones to set up a formation for the cave, the first thing he did was to check his body.
The little flame entered his body, making him tremble with fear. There was no such spiritual creature as a little flame in his knowledge system.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, his consciousness sweeping through his entire body.
When his consciousness entered the spirit lake, he saw a small flame, which was in the center of his spirit lake.
Li Shiming sensed that the small flame was absorbing his fire thunder spiritual power. Fortunately, the small flame did not have a big appetite and only absorbed a little bit of fire thunder spiritual power each time.
Because it was his own spiritual lake, his consciousness easily captured the small flame and came into contact with it.
The little flame had a faint intelligence, and when his consciousness came into contact with it, it would respond with a cheerful consciousness.
A light bulb suddenly lit up in his head, and he gave an order to the little flame in his mind.
Immediately the little flame left his spirit lake and appeared on his fingers, gently jumping and flickering on them.
Li Shiming's fingers could not feel the temperature of the small flame at all, it seemed as if the small flame was the same temperature as his body.
He searched in his storage bag and found a small piece of first-grade ore, but he couldn't even remember which unlucky monk it belonged to.
He used his spiritual power to hold the first-grade ore above the small flame, but there was no change at all, which made him a little disappointed. He thought the small flame could burn this first-grade ore.
That way, he could use the small flame to help refine the weapon.
Just as he was thinking, the little flame seemed to sense his thoughts.
A tiny but terrifying breath emanated from the small flame, and then the first-grade ore turned into liquid. All the impurities in it were refined, leaving only pure first-grade metal.
Li Shiming was so frightened that he almost shook off the small flame on his finger.
Fortunately, the small flame had strong control over the burning object, and seemed to regard him as its master, so it did not hurt his fingers.
Li Shiming supported the liquid first-grade metal with his spiritual power, and the liquid first-grade metal quickly solidified after losing the burning of the small flame.
Its quality has almost reached the pinnacle of first-grade metal, which is simply unimaginable.
You should know that the most difficult thing for a weapon maker is to remove impurities from the ore. This is part of the difference between high-grade, medium-grade and low-grade raw materials for magic weapons.
The same first-grade ore, when forged by different weapon makers, can produce metals of different grades.
Of course, there are also ores that are naturally of extremely high quality. As long as the weapon maker is of normal level, they can be forged into mid-quality or high-quality magical weapon materials.
This small flame is equivalent to completing half of the work of the weapon maker. Smelting spiritual ore is the foundation of the weapon maker, the first step of all magical weapons, and the most important step.
Li Shiming took out another piece of second-grade ore and placed it above the small flame again, giving orders to the small flame in his heart.
This time, too, without any change, the second-grade ore also became liquid, and all the impurities in it were refined.
When the second-grade metal cooled down, he saw a piece of pure second-grade metal.
However, after this refining, he felt fatigue from the little flame's intelligence, so he let the little flame return to the spirit lake.
The small flame once again absorbed his fire and thunder spiritual power. This time, the amount of fire and thunder spiritual power absorbed was roughly enough for him to perform the "Lightning Strike Technique" once.
He didn't care about the consumption of this little bit of fire thunder spiritual power. It didn't matter if this treasure absorbed a little spiritual power. Compared with the effect of the small flame, the consumption of this little bit of spiritual power was really worthwhile.
Mu Yang has already obtained the clover, and all he needs to do next is to leave the Shiwan Mountains.
Since Xu Chuan had taken precautions in advance, he had a way to leave the Shiwan Mountains by using the channels of the Shushan Sect.
In addition, he also needs to meet up with Li Yuanba. It is safer to act with Li Yuanba than alone, especially on the journey to the defense line connecting the Shiwandashan Mountains with the outside world. With Li Yuanba, a disciple of the Senluo Sect, there is no need to worry about being in trouble.
Li Shiming still maintained the routine of traveling during the day and resting at night. This time, he took another route and bypassed the location of the lake where the four-clawed dragon monster was.
A few days later, he met Li Yuanba.
Although Li Yuanba did not have as many means as Li Shiming, he had generals and ministers with him. In addition, the road had already been explored by Li Shiming and Xu Chuan, so the journey was extremely easy.
"Thank you for your hard work, fellow Taoist!" Li Shiming said with a smile.
"You're too polite, fellow Taoist!" Li Yuanba replied with a smile.
When they met again, the two sub-consciousnesses of the same consciousness still communicated in the same way as before.
"I'll give you half of this!" Li Shiming gave half of the monkey wine to Li Yuanba. He had done some calculations using IBM z15 and found that even half of the monkey wine he got this time would be enough for him to complete the foundation building phase of the two body-building exercises.
As for the stage after the foundation-building stage, it is the golden elixir stage. The effect of this monkey wine on the body refining in the golden elixir stage is probably so weak that it is almost non-existent.
Even if a Jindan stage cultivator does not practice body-refining techniques, the defensive power of his body is still extremely terrifying.
A spiritual beast as powerful as the Monkey King can be easily crushed to death with one hand. The spiritual wine brewed by the Monkey King is probably just something for enjoyment and cannot be considered a resource for cultivation.
He would not sell this treasure, so it would be better to share it with Li Yuanba so that Li Yuanba's body-building skills can be improved rapidly.
The stronger Li Yuanba becomes, the stronger his own strength will be, and he can obtain more resources.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist!" Li Yuanba took the monkey wine and said with a smile.
It took the two of them nearly ten days to get out of the Shiwan Mountains and return to the Senluo Sect's sphere of influence.
After leaving the Ten Thousand Mountains, Li Yuanba took out the jade flying boat and controlled it to fly directly with Li Shiming.
Just as Li Shiming thought, the Senluo Sect mark on the jade flying boat ensured that their flight did not encounter any obstruction. Even if some cultivators saw it, they would actively avoid it.
Even if there are cultivators who have a grudge against the Senluo Sect, they would not provoke cultivators of the Senluo Sect whose strength is unknown.
Li Shiming finally had the opportunity to stand in the air and enjoy the scenery of the Shiwanda Mountains.
The name of Shiwandashan comes from the fact that it is a continuous range of mountains, which are divided into many mountain ranges.
With the protection of monks, mortals in the Ten Thousand Mountains have been able to open up fertile fields and build cities without having to worry about the threat of spiritual beasts.
Compared with the spiritual beast area which is fraught with dangers, the human area is more prosperous and full of vitality.
Li Yuanba's joining of Senluo Sect actually changed Li Shiming's judgment of Senluo Sect.
Although it is a demonic sect, its system is strict and its rewards and punishments are clear, which is the sign of the revival of the sect.
At least within the sect, there are not many traces of the evil sect.
Of course, this may just be superficial, and what Li Yuanba has been exposed to is still too superficial.
Li Yuanba completed three tasks in a row this time, plus the heads of two wanted monks. He would not have to do any more tasks for a year, which would give him time to improve his own strength.
"Fellow Daoist, we'll take you here!" Li Yuanba lowered the flying boat and said to Li Shiming.
In more than ten days, they crossed the Shiwan Mountains and arrived outside a city close to the defense line.
"Fellow Daoist, be careful!" Li Shiming replied with a smile.
Li Yuanba left on a jade flying boat. Only after Li Yuanba's flying boat disappeared did Li Shiming head towards the city.
After this separation, they probably won't meet again for a long time. He knew this clearly ever since he learned that the Senluo Sect had built a defense line of tens of thousands of miles in the area where the Shiwan Mountains intersect with the outside world.
If they meet again in the future, it will probably be when both of them have reached a certain level of status in their respective sects, or when their strength has reached the Golden Core stage.
