Li Yuanba sat on the top of the mountain, facing the east, and a red light jumped out at the junction of heaven and earth.
Suddenly, 1,500 Fresnel reflectors simultaneously reflected the first ray of sunlight into the world onto his body. The "Purple Air Coming from the East" absorbed the innate purple air and transformed his body.
He has been practicing 'Purple Qi Coming from the East' for more than a month, and the transformation of his body is delightful.
The 'Sword Demon Secret Book' body-refining technique uses the third-grade sword foundation to influence and strengthen the Taoist body. This drastic method will more or less leave some damage. After a month of continuous absorption of the innate purple energy, the damage to his Taoist body has almost disappeared.
His spirit was also constantly growing, and this growth was extremely obvious. He believed that after continuing for a period of time, he would be able to try to practice the 'Thousand Hammers Divine Forging Technique' to transform his spiritual thoughts into divine thoughts in advance.
These are similar to the original body's practice of 'Purple Air Coming from the East', so they are not unexpected surprises.
The real surprise was Li Yuanba’s unique change, which was the change in his sword intent.
As for the original body Li Shiming, since he practiced thunder magic and nurtured the five elements of thunder spiritual power in his body, his sword intent carried the effect of thunder and lightning.
However, Li Yuanba's sword intent absorbed the most yang power in the innate purple energy, creating an effect of breaking evil.
After the sword intent gained the effect of breaking evil, he felt a little amused and helpless.
Although he is a cultivator from the demonic sect of Senluo Sect, his sword intent is to destroy evil, which is more righteous than the orthodox path.
Of course, although the evil-breaking effect can restrain the cold and yin energy and the evil cultivators, it also has considerable power against ordinary skills.
After all, it is the power of utmost yang. Although only a trace of it is contained at present, all energy in the world will be affected by it.
However, the strength of this influence may vary, and it still depends on the amount of Yang power contained in the sword intent.
Li Yuanba explained to his master Elder Jian that he would need to practice in seclusion for at least a year, so Elder Jian would not disturb his practice and asked him to complete some tasks.
This was a relatively stable period of time. Both Li Yuanba and his original form, Li Shiming, were protected by their master, and the turmoil in the outside world did not affect them.
Li Shiming began to take on a small amount of private alchemy business in Shushan Sect. These private alchemy businesses were all entrusted by the younger generations of his master Elder Su. As for the monks from other sects, they had no chance to see him, let alone make alchemy for them.
That day, he was called to Tianmu Peak by his master, Elder Su. It was still the same pavilion. This time, Elder Su was standing in the pavilion in advance, with a strange cultivator standing beside him.
Li Shiming's spirit was extremely strong, and the fact that the strange cultivator did not hide his cultivation level allowed him to sense that he was an early Jindan cultivator. However, his early Jindan aura was a little strange, and he didn't know what was strange about it.
"Hello, Master!" He stepped forward and bowed to greet him.
"Shi Ming is here. This is Fellow Daoist Cai Hong from Beishu Trading Company. I'm just introducing you to each other. You two can talk!" Elder Su looked at his disciple and said a little embarrassedly.
He turned and left, but Li Shiming heard the voice he transmitted using the sound transmission method.
"Shi Ming, this is a favor I owe you. I only care about your meeting with Fellow Daoist Cai Hong. The result doesn't matter, so you don't have to consider my opinion!"
Li Shiming kept smiling, but he knew in his heart that his alchemy ability was probably known to the Beishu Trading Company, so they sent the monks to find him.
Beishu Trading Company is the largest trading company on this continent, including Tianhai Island. Maintaining friendly relations with such a trading company will only benefit him, so he does not object to this meeting.
"Fellow Daoist Li, please forgive me for my intrusive visit!" Cai Hong waited until Elder Su walked away before bowing and speaking first.
The fact that Beishu Commercial Bank has been able to grow so large is due to its own network of relationships which cannot be ignored.
In response to Li Shiming's sudden rise, Beishu Trading Company immediately sent Cai Hong, who was also the most prestigious shopkeeper closest to Shushan Sect.
The reason why they were so anxious was that they were afraid that Li Shiming had signed a contract with other trading companies first, which would be a huge loss for Beishu Trading Company.
Since Li Shiming became an alchemist, in addition to refining elixirs for the sect, he has only refined elixirs for a small number of cultivators privately. However, according to the investigation of Beishu Trading Company, so far Li Shiming has not failed in making any elixir of any level, and has maintained a 100% success rate for high-level elixirs.
Even the think tank of Beishu Trading Company unanimously agreed that Li Shiming would definitely become a master alchemist, and a particularly prolific one at that.
Although many alchemy traditions have secret methods for refining multiple elixirs at the same time, this secret method is generally only for low-level elixirs.
That is to say, when a senior alchemist is refining a first-grade elixir, he can use secret methods to refine multiple furnaces of elixirs at the same time.
However, when a senior alchemist is refining a second-grade elixir, he can no longer use this kind of secret method. That would be counterproductive and would lower the success rate of the elixir and greatly reduce the quality.
But according to the investigation of Beishu Trading Company, even when Li Shiming was refining the second-grade elixir for the middle and late stages of foundation building, he still used the method of refining multiple furnaces of elixir at a time, otherwise he would not be able to complete the refining of that number of elixirs in a short time.
Li Shiming is the alchemist that Beishu Trading Company needs most, and he can greatly enhance the company's elixir business.
"Don't be polite, senior. What can I do for you?" Li Shiming asked with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Li, please call me Fellow Daoist. I don't deserve the title of senior!" Cai Hong smiled bitterly and shook his head. Seeing Li Shiming's puzzlement, he continued to explain: "My Golden Elixir Realm is actually a fake elixir!"
"What is fake elixir?" Li Shiming saw that Cai Hong did not ask him what he wanted, but instead started chatting with him. He was not in a hurry and it was a good opportunity for him to learn more knowledge.
"The fake elixir is a helpless act. When you are unable to break through the golden elixir realm, you use secret methods to refine the great demon's golden elixir into your own golden elixir, so that you can possess a certain golden elixir power. Unfortunately, once you achieve the fake elixir, you will not be able to make any further progress in this life, and you will be in the fake elixir state forever!" Cai Hong explained to him.
"Does it have to be the great demon's golden elixir? Are cultivators' golden elixirs useful?" Li Shiming asked again.
He didn't want to make a fake pill. With his current situation, no matter how poor his talent was, after practicing "Purple Qi Coming from the East", his Taoist body had forcibly raised his qualifications to the first-class genius.
The reason why he wanted to know these things was that there were two golden elixirs in his computer room. He had never been able to make use of these two golden elixirs. Now that he had heard of one of the uses of the golden elixirs, he asked this question.
"Of course you can use the cultivators' golden elixir, but that is what the demon cultivators do. Even among the demon cultivators, those who dare to use this method to make fake elixirs will be rejected by the demon cultivators' golden elixir!" Although Cai Hong didn't know why he asked this, he wanted to build a good relationship, so he would not hold back.
The two of them chatted with each other in the pavilion. Li Shiming was short-sighted, so Cai Hong kept introducing some secrets of the world of immortal cultivation, and Li Shiming asked questions.
Only after he had finished a pot of spiritual tea did Cai Hong put down the cup, calming down his emotions and considering his wording.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I believe you know something about Beishu Trading Company. I have been entrusted by the trading company to invite you to become its guest alchemist!" Cai Hong said solemnly.
"I wonder what this guest alchemist has to say?" Li Shiming also put down his cup and asked.
Cai Hong was delighted, thinking that there was hope as long as he didn't refuse immediately.
"The company's guest alchemists don't have any requirements, otherwise Shushan Sect will not agree. Every year, the company pays 100,000 spirit stones as an offering to the guest alchemists. At the same time, the guest alchemists with resources from the Beishu Company can be given priority!" Cai Hong introduced with a smile.
"With such good conditions, what does the guest alchemist need to do?" Li Shiming heard such treatment. Even though he looked down on the offering of 100,000 spirit stones, the fact that Beishu Trading Company gave priority to resources did concern him.
As the largest trading company in the Beishu Continent, Beishu Trading Company controls a large amount of resources, including accumulated third-grade resources.
Take the third-grade 'Muyang Clover' for example. He risked his life to get it back.
But if Elder Ji's forces had not purchased the 'Muyang Clover' in advance, Beishu Trading Company would have had stock at that time.
From this we can see the strength of Beishu Trading Company. The resources it controls are extremely terrifying.
"The guest alchemist can decide at will whether to make alchemy for the Beishu Trading Company, and the trading company does not interfere with the guest alchemist's private alchemy business. However, the guest alchemist is not allowed to serve other trading companies. In addition, the remuneration for the guest alchemist to make alchemy for the trading company is the same as that for private alchemy business!" Cai Hong explained.
Li Shiming finally understood what a guest alchemist was. It meant that one was bound to the Beishu Trading Company and was not allowed to serve other trading companies.
As for whether to make pills for Beishu Trading Company, it depends on the alchemist's own choice. The number of pills made by Beishu Trading Company is naturally much larger than that of private alchemy business, but the reward is the same as that of private alchemy. This is to use benefits to attract alchemists to take action.
"I agree!" Li Shiming thought about it. He had no intention of serving other businesses.
In fact, before this, Zhuo Rui from Tianmu Trading Company came to him, but with the foundation of Tianmu Trading Company, it was simply unable to support his alchemy volume, let alone talk about cooperation.
Tianmu Trading Company was only a trading company within the sect. Even the sect's second-grade elixir materials could not guarantee the amount of elixir he could make, not to mention the Tianmu Trading Company which was affiliated with the sect.
"On behalf of Beishu Trading Company, I welcome Fellow Daoist Li to join us. This is the guest ID card that Beishu Trading Company has prepared for Fellow Daoist Li. Our Beishu Trading Company cooperates with all the major sects. With this guest ID card, we can communicate throughout the entire Beishu continent.
And the guest ID card can check the alchemy tasks at any time. You only need to accept the task, and someone will deliver the materials, and someone will come to take them back after completion! "Cai Hong said excitedly.
He handed a jade ID card to Li Shiming. This guest ID card had been made before he came, and his identity had also been processed. As long as the other side agreed, it would be confirmed immediately to avoid any further complications.
You should know that although Beishu Trading Company is the number one trading company in Beishu Continent, it is not without rivals. Several trading companies behind it have been eyeing it covetously.
"This is a small gift from Beishu Trading Company to Fellow Daoist Li. When Fellow Daoist Li becomes a master of alchemy, we will give you another generous gift!" Seeing Li Shiming accept the jade ID card, Cai Hong took off a storage bag from his waist and handed it to him.
"Thank you, company!" Li Shiming took the storage bag and said with a smile.
His spiritual sense swept through the storage bag and found a pill recipe and dozens of jade boxes containing elixirs.
The recipe is the recorded Po Yue Dan, but it is different from the Po Yue Dan recipe of Senluo Sect. The clone Li Yuanba also got a recipe and materials for Po Yue Dan.
Li Shiming was very clear about this. Although the names of the pills made from this kind of elixir resources were the same in each sect, due to the different resources within the sect's area, each sect had its own system after countless years of research by alchemists.
The ingredients of the Senluo Sect's Breaking Yue Pill are mostly produced in the Ten Thousand Mountains, especially the main ingredient, a third-grade spiritual medicine, which is only produced in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
This recipe is not very valuable. After so many years of spreading, there are too many recipes for Po Yue Dan. Without the corresponding resources, it is almost impossible to collect all the ingredients in the recipe.
What’s important is a set of materials for Po Yue Dan, including a third-grade main spiritual medicine, which is a real golden elixir resource.
The Beishu Trading Company has huge resources, and among all the elixir-making resources, the Po Yue Pill is the most important.
The Meridian Protection Pill can use special techniques to strengthen the meridians, thus achieving the same effect as the Meridian Protection Pill.
The Soul-Settling Pill can be replaced by spiritual objects that can calm the mind, and the Resurrection Pill can be replaced by other spiritual pills with lesser effects, but the only thing that cannot be replaced is the Breaking Mountain Pill.
Of course, after countless years of experience, it has been concluded that if one of the elixirs is missing, the chance of condensing into a golden elixir will be reduced by one point, so if conditions permit, cultivators will try their best to collect a set of elixirs before breaking through.
Cai Hong felt relieved only after seeing Li Shiming's satisfied smile after checking the gifts.
It was not easy to choose this gift. Even when he took out the materials for the Broken Yue Dan, he was worried that Li Shiming would not like it.
It was not that he was overly suspicious, but it was due to Li Shiming's potential and status.
Many cultivators knew that Li Shiming was accepted as a registered disciple by Elder Ma, but not many cultivators knew that Elder Ma passed on the "Shushan Dan Dian" to Li Shiming.
Being able to pass on the "Shushan Alchemy Classic" means that Li Shiming possesses spiritual fire, and it also means that Elder Ma recognizes that Li Shiming has the potential to become a master of alchemy.
Any sect will make great efforts to cultivate a cultivator with the potential to become a master alchemist, and will not be stingy with the resources to make pills.
What made Cai Hong happy was that he gave the Breaking Yue Pill at the right time. It seemed that Shushan Sect did not give Li Shiming the resources to make the pill, otherwise the value of this gift would have dropped a lot.
In fact, he had considered this point before giving the gift. As Li Shiming had just entered the middle stage of foundation building, it was too early for the sect to prepare the resources for him to make pills, so he chose the materials for Po Yue Dan as a gift.
