Among the foundation-building cultivators of the Shushan Sect, the elixirs bearing Li Shiming's mark have the most obvious characteristic, that is, they are all high-level elixirs. This has made Li Shiming, the newly promoted high-level alchemist, even more famous.
Unfortunately, the cultivators in the middle and late stages of foundation building wanted to find Li Shiming to make elixirs, but they had no way to find him.
Li Shiming's footprints are between the three peaks of Chijian Peak, Tianmu Peak and Danding Peak. These places are not accessible to ordinary sect cultivators at will. He wants to contact him but does not know who he is, and even his identity jade disc cannot be contacted.
Li Shiming was unaware of his reputation yet. He was protected by Elder Ma, who gave him a year to grow.
During this year, Li Shiming has been regarded as a super genius. Elder Ma is also worried that Li Shiming will fail in his private alchemy due to his lack of experience, which will not only damage his own reputation but also affect his Taoism.
If one fails in private alchemy, the loss may be the elixir that others have worked so hard to find. Although the alchemist does not need to consider the loss, the impact is still not small.
Elder Ma wanted to protect Li Shiming and let Li Shiming gain enough experience by refining elixirs for the sect.
But he never thought that Li Shiming's growth rate would be so fast. After only one month, he had refined 1,600 furnaces of second-grade elixirs and accumulated experience in alchemy.
"Two senior brothers, please come over at this time tomorrow to get the elixir!" Li Shiming said to Wan Zheng and Lu Shi.
His words startled the two senior brothers, who thought they had heard wrongly.
"Junior brother, there is no need to be so anxious. You can refine it slowly!" Wan Zheng said after a moment.
"Okay, either you are the alchemist or my junior brother is the alchemist, you just do whatever my junior brother says, or you take the recipe and the elixir back!" Without waiting for Li Shiming to speak, Senior Sister Ye Jingxian clapped her hands and said.
"Then let's come over at this time tomorrow!" Wan Zheng and Lu Shi said helplessly.
"Don't worry about refining it. It doesn't matter if all fail!" The eldest sister's words before leaving almost made Wan Zheng and Lu Shi fall to the ground.
Although they were true disciples, the preparation of fifty portions of the elixir 'Qingli Wuyun Dan' also took a lot of time and effort, and cost a lot of favors.
However, thinking of the eldest sister's temper, they didn't dare to say anything more.
"I really don't know what you are thinking. How dare you doubt our junior brother's alchemy level!" After leaving Chijian Peak, the eldest sister pointed at the two junior brothers and shook her head.
After saying this, she accelerated and flew towards her own mountain, ignoring her two fellow apprentices.
For Li Shiming, making fifty furnaces of 'Qingli Wuyun Pills' was just one day's work. He was not in a hurry to make the pills. He first followed the normal practice process and completed the practice of 'Vajra Body Protection Magic' and 'Sword Demon Secret Book'.
He felt that he was only a step away from the peak of foundation building, but he didn't know how long the bottleneck of advancing from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage would hold him back. It was impossible to estimate.
His body was getting stronger and stronger with his practice, but unfortunately he became a high-level alchemist, and the battles between monks were getting further and further away from him.
Fortunately, his clone Li Yuanba continued to fight and share combat experience with him, so that he would not become a cultivator without any combat experience.
The process of refining the 'Qingli Five Elements Pill' was very smooth. Even though it was the first time to refine the 'Qingli Five Elements Pill', there were no problems. Ten furnaces of high-level 'Qingli Five Elements Pill' were perfectly refined, producing 198 high-level 'Qingli Five Elements Pill' and 2 top-level 'Qingli Five Elements Pill'.
Of course, he now makes pills in the computer room. This method of refining is of great benefit to alchemy. The micron-level control allows him to grasp the process of alchemy more accurately.
More importantly, if one wants to increase the success rate of the 'One Hundred and One Points Alchemy Technique' to 100%, it must be refined in the machine room space.
He spent the whole day refining the 'Qingli Wuyun Pill', refining fifty furnaces of the elixir five times, and it didn't even affect his daily practice of the main technique.
When all the refining was completed, there were 990 high-level 'Qingli Wuyun Pills' and 10 top-level 'Qingli Wuyun Pills' in front of him.
After this private alchemy experience, he truly saw the huge profits made by alchemists.
Among them, 330 pieces of high-level 'Qingli Wuyun Pills' were given to senior brothers Wan Zheng and Lu Shi, and the rest belonged to him.
Not counting the double pill output from the 'One Hundred and One Points Pill Art', he also obtained 165 high-level 'Qingli Five Elements Pills' and 10 top-level 'Qingli Five Elements Pills'.
He put 330 high-grade 'Qingli Wuyun Pills' into a jade bottle, waiting to hand them over to his two brothers the next day.
The next morning, after Li Shiming practiced "Purple Air Coming from the East", he was waiting for his two brothers to come.
But as he was sitting in the hall, he felt ripples in the spiritual lake in his body. He suddenly felt a blessing and a white lotus appeared under his feet, and another white lotus appeared in the training room.
In an instant he appeared on the white lotus in the training room. He sat cross-legged on the white lotus. Under the white lotus was the exit of the spiritual vein.
There were ripples in the Spirit Lake at first, and as the ripples became more frequent, the splashes grew higher.
The liquid five elements thunder spiritual power was constantly surging in the spiritual lake, and the aura on Li Shiming's body was also constantly changing.
The 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art' runs automatically, pulling the unstable five elements of thunder spiritual power in the Spirit Lake to operate in a unique way.
Li Shiming perceived that a wall seemed to appear in front of him, and the five elements of thunder spiritual power were constantly washing the wall, trying to break it open.
He had a feeling that as long as he broke through the wall, he could be promoted to the middle stage of foundation building, and this wall was the bottleneck of the early stage of foundation building materialized by his consciousness.
He originally thought that this seemingly extremely thick wall would not be so easy to break through.
But after the Five Elements Thunder Spiritual Power was washed over ten times or so, the wall was covered with cracks, as if it would shatter in the next moment.
Li Shiming underestimated his own talent. The Taoist body that was improved by "Purple Qi Coming from the East" was a pure Taoist body transformed by the innate purple qi. Although it had not yet reached the complete form of the pure Taoist body, it was of great help to the bottleneck of the foundation-building period.
In the history of cultivating immortals, there has never been a cultivator who has been able to elevate his Taoist body to his level by absorbing the innate purple energy. He achieved this result by combining the science of his previous life with the "Purple Energy Coming from the East" technique of this life.
"What's going on? Did something happen?" Wan Zheng cast a spell outside the Chijian Peak to remind Li Shiming of his arrival, but after waiting for a whole incense stick of time, he still didn't see Li Shiming show up. He couldn't help but feel anxious.
Lu Shi on the side was also very anxious. The only possibility he could think of was that Li Shiming had failed in refining the elixir and was embarrassed to see them.
"Let's ask Senior Sister to come over. It doesn't matter if the elixir fails. Just think of it as an investment in my junior brother!" Wan Zheng calmed his mind and said slowly.
After he said this, Lu Shi was no fool, so he naturally thought of Li Shiming's talent in alchemy.
Although the loss was heavy this time, it was not a bad thing. With such a heavy investment, Li Shiming would definitely owe them a big favor.
"Yes, please ask Senior Sister to come and persuade Li Shiming not to let those elixirs affect his mood!" Lu Shi also nodded repeatedly.
A spell flew out, and this time it hit the mountain formation of Senior Sister Ye Jingxian. The mountains of several fellow disciples were all surrounding Tianmu Peak, so it was convenient to connect them together.
"What happened?" Soon the eldest sister's figure appeared in the air, and she looked at her two junior brothers and asked.
"For some reason, Junior Brother didn't respond at the appointed time. We were worried that he had failed in refining the elixir and it affected his mood!" Wan Zheng explained with a wry smile.
"That's right, you didn't consider your own spiritual medicine, but first thought of the impact on Junior Brother!" The eldest sister nodded and praised, and then said: "Just wait here, do you want me to break the formation by force?"
As she spoke, the eldest sister also sent out a spell and entered the Sword Holding Peak, and then waited in the void.
It took a full two hours of waiting before the Chijian Peak's formation was activated.
Seeing the Sword Holding Peak formation activated, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. They were also worried that Li Shiming would be unable to get over it, after all, Li Shiming had been practicing for too short a time.
When I entered the cave hall, I saw Li Shiming, whose breathing was unstable, regulating his breathing.
The three were shocked at first, thinking that Li Shiming had gone insane, but they soon discovered something was wrong. Li Shiming's unstable breath was obviously caused by his inability to restrain his breath after his promotion.
Especially the third senior brother Lu Shi, his mouth was wide open with a look of disbelief.
How long has Li Shiming been in the sect? Plus, they all know Li Shiming's information. It's only been two years since Li Shiming entered the foundation-building stage. How come he has been promoted to the middle stage of foundation-building?
Lu Shi thought of himself. It took him twelve years to advance to the middle stage of foundation building, but he was still praised by his master as having excellent talent.
If he is extremely talented, then what is Li Shiming like?
For a moment, Lu Shi felt like he was doubting his life.
Li Shiming is gifted with three spiritual roots. His master, Elder Su, accepted him as his disciple because Li Shiming brought back a third-grade Muyang clover for him. The master accepted him as his disciple to thank Li Shiming.
Not to mention Lu Shi, Wan Zheng and the senior sister were also quite surprised.
Is this what Master Elder Su said about good fortune? Are all monks with good fortune so abnormal?
"Senior sister, two senior brothers, I'm sorry. I suddenly felt something and kept you waiting for a long time!" Li Shiming was also very embarrassed. He did not show up when the appointment was made.
"Junior brother, congratulations on your advancement to the middle stage of foundation building. Now let's see how Xu Chuan shows off that he is no longer the youngest junior brother!" The eldest sister had a different opinion, she said with a smile.
Wan Zheng and Lu Shi both thought of Xu Chuan and couldn't help but laugh.
Thanks to Li Shiming's joining, Xu Chuan suddenly became the fourth senior brother from the youngest junior brother. However, he was not very proud of himself for long before he was overtaken by Li Shiming.
Although brothers are not divided into different levels according to their realm in the sect, if the realm of the senior brother is lower than that of the younger brother, how can he have the face to call himself the senior brother?
"And you, Lu Shi, guess how long it will take for your junior brother to surpass you?" The eldest senior sister said to Lu Shi again.
Lu Shi's smile froze on his face instantly. With Li Shiming's training speed, it seemed that catching up with him would not be a difficult task.
By then he won’t even dare to call himself the third senior brother, as it would be a huge loss of face for him.
"My two senior brothers, the 'Qingli Wuyin Pill'..." Li Shiming had just begun to speak when he was interrupted by Wan Zheng.
"Junior brother, if the 'Qingli Wuyun Pill' fails, it fails. Your advancement to the middle stage of foundation building is a big deal!" Wan Zheng waved his hand indifferently.
"That's right, little brother, don't let your mood be affected. Alchemy is about growth through continuous failures!" The eldest sister also advised.
Lu Shi nodded repeatedly at the side, with the same indifferent look on his face.
Li Shiming couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. His senior sisters and brothers were really the best. This kind of care made him feel warm.
"No failure, these are 330 'Qingli Wuyun Pills'!" Li Shiming was afraid that if he took out the 'Qingli Wuyun Pills' any later, he would be persuaded by the eldest sister and two brothers, so he hurriedly took out the refined 'Qingli Wuyun Pills'.
Wan Zheng took the big jade bottle in a bit of a daze. Li Shiming had put all the 'Qingli Wuyun Pills' in a big jade bottle. This big jade bottle was a magic weapon that could retain the medicinal power for a long time.
This large jade bottle is not very valuable, but it is extremely practical.
Wan Zheng's spiritual sense scanned the 'Qingli Wuyun Pill' in the large jade bottle and found that its quality was extremely high and it was not an ordinary high-level 'Qingli Wuyun Pill'.
Although both are high-level second-grade elixirs, there are subtle differences between them. The high-level 'Qingli Wuyun Pill' in the large jade bottle can be described as perfect.
"Junior brother, your alchemy skills are amazing. From now on, my elixirs will all depend on you!" Wan Zheng smiled and handed the big jade bottle to Lu Shi, who was a little anxious at the side, and said enthusiastically to Li Shiming.
"As long as it's within my ability to make elixirs, you can come to me anytime!" Li Shiming would not refuse. How could he refuse such a good thing?
He also knew that the sect's elixirs, which were truly second-grade elixirs starting from the middle stage of foundation building, could not be refined in unlimited quantities.
It takes time to produce the second-grade spiritual medicine needed for the second-grade elixir, and no matter how much inventory he has, it cannot stop his crazy refining.
If you want to be able to refine more second-grade elixirs, you need to refine them privately. This way you can get more elixirs and gain favors from other cultivators.
Just like the two senior brothers, they worked hard to get the recipe and materials, but the elixir they obtained was not even half as good as what Li Shiming got by sitting at home and working hard all day.
Besides, the sect's alchemy tasks cannot be too much. After all, the sect still has four senior alchemists, and you can't take all of their tasks. He didn't know about this before, so he will have to pay attention to it in the future.
"Junior brother, you'd better become a high-level alchemist soon, and then I will let you refine my elixirs!" Ye Jingxian said with shining eyes.
Although she is halfway to becoming a golden elixir, just one step away from it, this step requires a long time to slowly hone. Her resources for making the elixir are also ready. She will wait until Elder Su is free to ask Elder Ma to help her refine the elixir.
But if Li Shiming's alchemy level could improve fast enough, she would like to hand such an important elixir to Li Shiming for refining.
