Xiao Ke actually wanted to speak very much. He wanted to say the excuses he had prepared before, and add some words about Li Shiming being arrogant and unreasonable. He thought that Elder Zheng would believe more in the words of him, the sect's true disciple.

But he was unable to speak, as a sword intent appeared in his spirit lake.

This sword intent was a thunder and lightning sword intent, running around in the Spirit Lake and striking the Spirit Lake from time to time.

The Spirit Lake is the core of the foundation-building cultivator. Any problem with the Spirit Lake will damage the foundation of the foundation-building cultivator. At this time, he is constantly harassed by the thunder and lightning sword intent, and he needs to use all his mind to fight against the thunder and lightning sword intent.

If he was distracted by talking and unable to suppress the invasion of lightning and sword intent, he was worried that his spirit lake would be damaged.

"Li Shiming, I remember now. You are the senior alchemist of Shushan Sect. I am sorry for offending you, a disciple of the sect!" Elder Zheng suddenly remembered who Li Shiming was and said with a smile on his face.

Li Shiming's reputation has risen rapidly in the past year, and even Elder Zheng, a Jindan cultivator, has heard of his reputation.

The elixir that Li Shiming uses must be high-level elixir, and the amount of elixir he refines is so large that he can refine large quantities of second-grade elixirs, which is extremely rare among alchemists.

You should know that cultivators who are able to refine pills in large quantities are those who refine elixirs that are one level lower than their own alchemy level.

Being able to refine large quantities of elixirs of the same level as one's own alchemy realm can be said to be a top talent among alchemists.

"Elder Zheng, it was originally just a small matter. I would like to thank you for handling it fairly!" Li Shiming bowed and saluted.

Elder Zheng smiled and nodded. When he saw Li Shiming's humble attitude, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Ke with disgust. There was no need to discuss who was right or wrong.

Yin Shilan also thanked Elder Zheng and took Li Shiming into the mountain gate.

As a true disciple of the formation, Yin Shilan also has his own mountain in the mountain gate, which is the right of a true disciple.

After Yin Shilan took Li Shiming away, Elder Zheng was about to leave when he saw Xiao Ke still standing there. He also realized that Xiao Ke was slightly injured.

In other words, the flying technique used by Xiao Ke was still lasting, otherwise Ling Hu would have been unable to call upon spiritual power and would have fallen from the sky by now.

Elder Zheng came to Xiao Ke, probed into Xiao Ke's body with his spiritual sense, and soon discovered the sword intent in his spirit lake.

"Go back to your master and ask him to remove the sword intent for you. If your master can't do it, let your master go to Li Shiming!" Elder Zheng shook his head helplessly.

Although Li Shiming's sword intent was not very strong, it was extremely pure and had lightning effects, which gave Elder Zheng a headache.

Since the sword intent is in Xiao Ke's spiritual lake, it is very dangerous to remove the sword intent. The spiritual lake is extremely fragile and if you are not careful, it will collapse. Xiao Ke's foundation will be completely damaged, and his journey will end.

The sword intent of a sword cultivator has an extremely special effect. Even after leaving the sword cultivator's body, as long as it is in a spiritual environment, it can still be maintained for a very long time.

Especially the spiritual lake of the cultivators, the sword intent is in it, while it can destroy, it can also absorb spiritual power to replenish its own loss.

It can be said that as long as the sword intent is not removed, there will be no peace in Xiao Ke's spiritual lake. Don't think that the sword intent will disappear automatically. The time the sword intent exists in the spiritual lake will definitely be longer than the time that Xiao Ke's spiritual lake can support the sword intent's destruction.

Xiao Ke is unable to practice now. His spirit lake is being destroyed by the sword intent, while the sword intent is absorbing his spiritual power. Once the spiritual power in the spirit lake is reduced to a certain level and cannot withstand the attack of the sword intent, his spirit lake will collapse.

Elder Zheng judged that his success rate was too low and it was not worth taking the risk. If he failed, it would affect his reputation.

As they were talking, Xiao Ke's figure flashed and was about to fall.

"Let me take you to your master!" Elder Zheng grasped his figure with his mind and said with helplessness on his face.

He would not sacrifice his own face to go to Li Shiming just for Xiao Ke.

Even a Jindan cultivator like him needs to make friends with a future alchemy master like Li Shiming, and maybe he will ask Li Shiming for help in the future.

Even if he didn't ask Li Shiming for help in the future, with the master of alchemy's connections, Elder Zheng didn't want to offend Li Shiming for Xiao Ke.

Not to mention that Elder Zheng took Xiao Ke to see his master, Yin Shilan and Li Shiming were flying inside the mountain gate of Qianhuan Sect and soon arrived at Yin Shilan's mountain peak.

"That's where my master's cave is, that's where my three senior sisters' cave is, and this is where my cave is!" Yin Shilan introduced to Li Shiming along the way.

The situation of Qianhuan Sect is similar to that of Shushan Sect. The Jindan cultivators occupy a section of the mountain range, with the main peak occupied by the Jindan cultivators and the surrounding peaks being the cave residences of their disciples.

What caught Li Shiming's attention was the large formation here, which was somewhat different from the formations he had encountered before.

He saw clouds and mist lingering between the mountain peaks, and cranes flying through the clouds from time to time, but he could not sense any breath of life. The cranes must be illusions, and even the clouds and mist were the same.

The flying boat landed at Yin Shilan's mountain. She led Li Shiming to sit in the pavilion on the top of the mountain. This was her favorite place to be alone, where she could see the most beautiful scenery.

"It's really a fairyland!" Li Shiming couldn't help but praise it after sitting down in the pavilion. He didn't know whether it was due to the influence of the formation or the scenery here was just pleasant.

"There is a spiritual spring on my mountain. Even my senior sisters come to ask for it from time to time. I'll have someone get it and make you a cup of spiritual tea for you to taste!" Seeing that Li Shiming liked the scenery here, Yin Shilan's eyes flashed with joy and she chuckled.

"I got some good tea a few days ago, but I've been reluctant to drink it. Just fetch the Lingquan and we can taste this good tea!" Li Shiming took out a jade box and said happily.

This jade box contains the third-grade spiritual tea that was obtained from Ji Hongbo's storage bracelet a few days ago. This is used by Jindan cultivators to entertain friends, and there is almost no chance for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage to drink it.

Even as a true disciple, he cannot access the resources of the Jindan cultivators.

Yin Shilan did not refuse. Given the relationship between them, sharing some precious things would only add to their happiness.

But when Li Shiming opened the jade box, she was still surprised.

"This is third-grade spiritual tea!" she exclaimed softly.

As cultivators, they all like spiritual tea. Spiritual tea has some beneficial effect on the cultivator's spirit. Good spiritual tea can even be comparable to the best elixir.

However, each kind of spiritual tea has the best effect when it is tasted for the first time. The effect will be extremely weak if you drink it for the second time. Therefore, good spiritual tea is mostly used as a treat for guests, which makes it more precious.

"Shiming, let me make it!" Yin Shilan took the jade box from Li Shiming, and a female attendant brought the spiritual spring water.

After the female attendant brought the spiritual spring water, she looked at Li Shiming with curiosity, then left quietly.

Different from Li Shiming, a foreigner who had never enjoyed the service of others, Yin Shilan had enjoyed the best of everything since she was born. So after becoming a true disciple of Qianhuan Sect, the female followers she chose also had the job of serving her.

Li Shiming watched Yin Shilan take out a small spoon made of spiritual bamboo, picked a piece of spiritual tea leaf from the jade box, and put one piece in each jade cup.

There were only a dozen or so pieces of spiritual tea leaves in the jade box, but this was already a lot. One piece of third-grade spiritual tea was enough to make a cup of tea, and the amount in the jade box was enough for six or seven entertainings.

This is not Ji Hongbo's spiritual tea. Even if he is the biological son of Elder Jindan, Elder Ji would never give the third-grade spiritual tea to Ji Hongbo.

These three grades of spiritual tea are the sect resources that Ji Hongbo collected on behalf of Elder Ji. Normally, Elder Ji needs a lot of time to practice once, so the resources are collected by Ji Hongbo on his behalf.

Only because of this did Li Shiming get this benefit, otherwise it would be impossible to get the third-grade spiritual tea from the foundation-building cultivator.

Yin Shilan's movements were quiet and graceful, without any worldly airs. Li Shiming watched her movements, feeling peaceful in his heart, hoping that she would continue like this. For a moment, he was actually mesmerized by her movements.

"Shiming!" When Yin Shilan looked up, she saw a pair of affectionate eyes, which made her cheeks blush for a moment. She placed a cup of brewed spiritual tea in front of Li Shiming and said softly.

"Lan'er, have some tea!" Li Shiming woke up and chuckled.

After taking a sip of the third-grade spiritual tea, Li Shiming's spiritual power surged in his body. He could no longer maintain the state hidden by using the 'Magic Shadow Buddha Technique', and his spiritual power, which was close to the peak of the middle stage of foundation building, was completely exposed.

He was not worried about Yin Shilan discovering his cultivation level. He was just feeling the changes that the third-grade spiritual tea brought to his spiritual lake.

He was originally just one step away from breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building. This cup of third-grade spiritual tea instantly filled up his spiritual lake. And because his spiritual power was of the purest kind, he did not need to compress it like other foundation building cultivators. He sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough at this moment.

On the other hand, Yin Shilan's realm is at the peak of the initial stage of foundation building. She relied on her own cultivation talent, the resources of a true disciple of Qianhuan Sect, and the support of her master Master Luo to reach the peak of the initial stage of foundation building in just a few years.

The third-grade spiritual tea was a great opportunity for improvement for Li Shiming, and the same was true for Yin Shilan. Both of them felt that they had an opportunity for a breakthrough.

"Come to my cave!" Yin Shilan naturally knew how important a breakthrough was. She suppressed the spiritual power surging in her body and said to Li Shiming.

Li Shiming also suppressed the spiritual power surging in his body, and lifted up Yin Shilan with his mind. He was worried that moving Yin Shilan at will would affect her.

Then a white lotus appeared beneath him, and then another white lotus appeared in front of the cave.

Yin Shilan did not resist at all. With a sweet feeling of being cared for in her heart, when she arrived in front of the cave, she opened it.

Bai Lian appeared in the training room again, and Li Shiming appeared in the training room with Yin Shilan.

The spiritual energy here is very abundant. With the formation set up by Yin Shilan to lock the spiritual energy, the spiritual energy in the training room is much richer than that in a normal true transmission training room.

As soon as the two entered the training room, they both began to break through.

Yin Shilan’s junior sister Liang Yexuan, although not a master, the two sisters have a very good relationship because they are of similar age.

Liang Yexuan did not need permission to come to Yin Shilan's mountain on weekdays. She had the authority to enter and exit the mountain, and Yin Shilan could also enter and exit her mountain.

However, each cave is private, so one still needs the owner’s consent to enter.

Liang Yexuan knew that Yin Shilan was free recently, so she would come to play with Yin Shilan whenever she was free. A girl of this age, although she is a cultivator, still needs to communicate with people of the same age.

She entered the mountain as usual, and when she arrived at the pavilion she saw two cups of spiritual tea.

"Great, you didn't even look for me and just secretly drank the good tea!" Liang Yexuan saw a pair of jade cups when she came to the pavilion and smelled the remaining spiritual energy in the jade cups. She couldn't help but frown and snorted in annoyance.

Her father was the Golden Core Elder, and she had also tasted the third-grade spiritual tea. She was slightly annoyed not because of the third-grade spiritual tea, but because of her relationship with Yin Shilan, if they wanted to discuss tasting the third-grade spiritual tea together in the sect, they would have to find her.

Of course, this was just the younger daughter's emotion, and she wasn't really angry.

She looked around but didn't see Yin Shilan.

Yin Shilan's female attendant had already tactfully stayed away from them after discovering that the host was entertaining a male cultivator and that the two of them were behaving very intimately. So Liang Yexuan didn't even find the female attendant, and the entire mountaintop was empty.

She was in an angry mood. She came to Yin Shilan's cave angrily and cast a spell inside. After waiting for a while and not seeing Yin Shilan come out, her face puffed up with anger.

She stood outside the cave, guarding it and waiting for Yin Shilan to give her an explanation.

This situation is just like when a best friend finds another best friend without telling you. You will feel abandoned.

In the practice room, Li Shiming slowly opened his eyes and saw Yin Shilan also looking at him.

"You have already reached the late stage of foundation building. It's so fast!" Yin Shilan said in an admiring tone.

She was not surprised that Li Shiming had improved his strength to the late stage of foundation building in just a few years. She was one of the few people who knew how amazing Li Shiming was.

Back then in Tianhai Sect, Li Shiming first came into contact with formations and inherited a formation from her, but he designed a spirit turtle shield that combined formations on the spot.

After that, Yin Shilan watched Li Shiming grow all the way. Even in the environment of Beishu Continent with so many talented people, Li Shiming still became famous in a short period of time.

"I have prepared some elixirs for you that can increase your cultivation speed!" Li Shiming did not explain anything. He did not want to deceive Yin Shilan. Yin Shilan was the person he cared about most in this world.

He took out a bottle of ten top-grade 'Shushan Huangling Pills', which were elixirs for assisting cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to give too much, but the matter of the top-level elixir is related to the space of the computer room, and he cannot leak it to Yin Shilan. At least, telling Yin Shilan about the space of the computer room will not benefit either of them if he does not have enough strength to protect himself and Yin Shilan.

Ten top-grade 'Shushan Huangling Pills' are a reasonable number. You have to know that Li Shiming has refined quite a few elixirs, so it is not unimaginable that he can produce dozens of top-grade elixirs.
