After returning to the gate of Shushan Sect, Li Shiming thanked Elder Zhao and went to his master Elder Su.

Elder Su sent him a message almost as soon as he arrived outside the mountain gate, asking him to go there immediately.

"Master, disciple is back!" When Li Shiming arrived at the top of Tianmu Peak, he saw Elder Su waiting for him and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Follow me!" Elder Su's face was very serious, but Li Shiming could feel that Elder Su was in a good mood. Although he looked serious, his eyes were filled with relief.

Li Shiming followed Elder Su and flew towards the back through the mountain gate, and soon arrived at a mountain peak.

Elder Su cast a spell inward, and this process seemed very familiar to Li Shiming. Wasn't this the same process where his clone Li Yuanba followed Elder Jian to visit Patriarch Lu?

Considering Elder Su's status and position, his solemn visit must be to visit some ancestor.

"This should be the location of Patriarch Fan's cave!" Li Shiming guessed secretly in his heart.

This is not difficult to guess. When he met Venerable Huike before, Patriarch Fan helped him to drive Venerable Huike away.

Li Shiming met Old Ancestor Fan, who had a head full of white hair and a rosy face. He was sitting in front of a stone table with a pile of food on it. Old Ancestor Fan was eating the food and drinking the wine in big gulps.

This made Li Shiming slightly stunned. He did not expect that Patriarch Fan would be like this.

"Master, this is the spiritual wine I found, specially brought to you as a gift!" Elder Su seemed to be accustomed to the appearance of Old Ancestor Fan. He smiled and walked forward and placed a bottle of wine on the stone table and said.

Li Shiming didn't dare to be so casual. He bowed deeply and maintained the bowing posture.

"Okay, get up. Next time, remember to bring me some good wine, it's better than any gift!" Patriarch Fan waved his hand, and a force made Li Shiming stand up involuntarily.

Patriarch Fan opened the wine brought by Elder Su, poured it into the cup, took a sip, then nodded with satisfaction.

Although Li Shiming did not dare to use his divine sense, he could tell from the smell of the wine that it was only a second-grade spiritual wine.

Of course, the taste of spirit wine is not entirely related to its grade; spirit wine is more about its flavor.

Although the spiritual wine sent by Elder Su was of the second grade, it was definitely carefully brewed and was considered top-notch among the second-grade spiritual wines.

"Disciple, I understand!" He could see that Patriarch Fan was a casual person and was not overly restrained, so he said with a smile.

Elder Su smiled aside. He knew very well what kind of person his master was.

In fact, any Yuanying ancestor will have some quirks. It’s because the Yuanying ancestor lives for too long. A thousand years of life allows the Yuanying ancestor to see everything in the world clearly.

The Yuanying ancestors need some way to kill their free time. Plus, they are almost the top masters in Beishu. They can do whatever they want with almost no restrictions. The freedom makes them always want to do what they instinctively want to do in their hearts.

This is also a kind of practice. Letting your heart run wild is also a way to train your mind.

It took Patriarch Fan about an hour to eat and drink, and Elder Su kept pouring wine for Patriarch Fan, just like a natural father and son in the mortal world.

"Your name is Li Shiming, you have too many little thoughts!" After finishing his meal, Patriarch Fan looked at Li Shiming's whole body and shook his head.

"Master, Shiming is a good boy. If he hadn't brought me the elixir from the Shiwanda Mountains, my injury would have affected my spiritual path!" Upon hearing what Patriarch Fan said, the most anxious person was not Li Shiming, but Elder Su, who hurriedly explained.

Li Shiming also looked at Patriarch Fan in confusion, not understanding why there would be such an evaluation.

"I didn't say he's not a good kid, he just has a few more small thoughts!" Patriarch Fan waved his hand at Elder Su, then pointed at Li Shiming and asked Elder Su: "You're such a good master. Last time you told me that this kid had just been promoted to the middle stage of foundation building, and now he's been promoted to the late stage of foundation building, and you, the master, didn't even know!"

Elder Su suddenly turned around and looked at Li Shiming, his eyes full of disbelief.

The Foundation Establishment Stage is not the Qi Refining Stage. In the Qi Refining Stage, if there are sufficient resources, the cultivation speed will be extremely fast, but even if there are sufficient resources, it will still take several years.

But the foundation-building period is a period of laying the foundation. Each level of advancement requires repeated sharpening of the spiritual power in the body and compressing the spiritual power to the extreme. All of this takes a lot of time, not to mention just accumulating the spiritual power in the spiritual lake. Each level takes anywhere from a few years to decades.

If Li Shiming's aura was weak, he would definitely be able to see it, but Li Shiming's aura was extremely steady, which should mean that his realm was extremely stable.

What Elder Su had never expected was that Li Shiming actually hid his own realm. He looked like he was only in the middle stage of foundation building, but he was actually in the late stage of foundation building.

"Before Shiming joined my sect, he came to the Northern Shu continent from Tianhai Island alone and passed through the Ten Thousand Mountains. It is normal for him to be a little cautious!" Elder Su still defended Li Shiming.

"Shiming, you are my disciple and are also under the protection of the Shushan Sect. Don't hide anything about your realm. I understand your thoughts. There are many adventures in the world of immortal cultivation. No matter what kind of adventure you get that can improve your strength to the late stage of foundation building in a short period of time, you don't have to worry about being interrogated because of this matter. All the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Shushan Sect have had adventures and secrets. If the sect did not have such tolerance, it would have fallen apart long ago!" Patriarch Fan said to Li Shiming with a smile.

"I will keep my master's teachings in mind!" Li Shiming bowed and replied.

He stopped the 'Demon Shadow Buddha Technique' and his aura returned to normal.

"Master, when I went out this time, I got the third-grade spiritual tea from Ji Hongbo's storage bracelet. I was originally at the peak of the middle stage of foundation building, but after drinking the third-grade spiritual tea, I was directly promoted to the late stage of foundation building. I dare not deceive you!" He turned around and bowed to Elder Su to explain.

"Let's just say that he is a man of great fortune!" Elder Su's face broke into a smile when he heard the news, and he turned to Elder Fan and said.

"It is indeed a blessing. Ji Hongbo is Xiaoji's son, right? When did Xiaoji become so generous as to give the third-grade spiritual tea to his son?" Patriarch Fan thought for a while and asked.

"I calculated the time. It was almost the time when the third-grade spiritual tea was distributed every three years. I guess Ji Hongbo received the third-grade spiritual tea on behalf of Elder Ji, but went to track down Shi Ming before giving it to his father!" Elder Su laughed very happily.

Elder Ji always dealt with him, and although he fought back, it was only in the interests of the sect, and had little impact on Elder Ji's own resources.

A Jindan elder would receive a bit of third-grade spiritual tea every three years according to his status in the sect.

This third-grade spiritual tea is used to entertain distinguished guests, especially Jindan elders like them who have real power in the sect. The importance of the third-grade spiritual tea represents the importance of a certain Jindan cultivator.

This is an unspoken rule. Treating someone with third-grade spiritual tea represents their intention to attract and get close to a certain Jindan cultivator.

However, Elder Ji has been short of three years' supply of third-grade spiritual tea, which means that Elder Ji will not be able to use third-grade spiritual tea to entertain guests for three years. This matter is difficult to explain and is likely to affect the relationship between Elder Ji and some old friends.

"Now that Shiming has reached the late stage of foundation building, tell me to ask Xiaoji to give up some resources for promotion to Golden Elixir. If he doesn't agree, I will go to find his master Lao Zuo in person!" Patriarch Fan waved his hand and decided.

It is nothing if one's own disciples are being fairly competed with by factions within the sect, but it is a serious matter if they are attacked and killed by monks outside the sect.

Although Ji Hongbo was deposed, Elder Ji, as a father, must bear the consequences of this matter.

Ancestor Zuo and Ancestor Fan are both Nascent Souls of Shushan Sect. As Nascent Soul ancestors, they would only watch from a high position in the competition between the younger generations and would not interfere.

But the attack on Li Shiming by Elder Ji was no longer a competition between two factions, but had an impact on the interests of the sect.

Li Shiming is a true master of alchemy. Just look at why Qianye Temple sent Zhikong Arhat. It is because Li Shiming stopped refining elixirs for Qianye Temple.

This shows that even though Li Shiming had not yet become a master of alchemy, his influence was already very great.

The Shushan Sect had such a true alchemy master, but he was attacked and killed by fellow monks. This is something that all factions in the sect will not forgive, and the matter cannot be settled without satisfactory compensation.

The elixir-making resources of Ancestor Zuo's line in the past ten years have not yet been sent out, unlike Ancestor Fan's line, which have long been given to Li Shiming's senior sister Ye Jingxian.

Originally, he wanted to rely on Elder Ma to seek the resources for making pills, but the disciple belongs to Elder Su, and he is only a nominal disciple. If Elder Ma really wants to provide Li Shiming with the resources for making pills, then Elder Su will also lose face.

"Shiming, why don't you thank your master quickly!" Elder Su gestured to Li Shiming with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Master!" Li Shiming certainly knew that this was a good thing. Although he already had a set of resources for making pills, who would complain about having too many resources for making pills?

The elixir-making resources of Senluo Sect and Shushan Sect are different, and the relevant knowledge about elixir-making is different. Even the same names as Protecting Veins Pill, Calming Spirit Pill, Resurrection Pill and Breaking Mountain Pill are only the same in name and effect. In fact, the spiritual medicines used in the four kinds of elixirs of each sect are not the same.

"Qianye Temple sent Zhikong Arhat over here. Since you were not in the sect, the sect negotiated with him and secured an inheritance opportunity for you. Of course, the sect also gained a lot of benefits and will give you corresponding contribution points as a reward!

That inheritance opportunity is the inheritance of the Divine Eyes. There is only one chance to receive the inheritance, and it is best to receive it when you reach the Golden Core Stage!" Ancestor Fan looked at Li Shiming and said slowly.

Li Shiming actually understood that since Qianye Temple and Shushan Sect were both two of the three major righteous sects, it was impossible for them to become real enemies.

When he heard that he had a chance to inherit the divine eyesight, he was very satisfied.

If he were allowed to negotiate on his own, he might be sent away with just a few spiritual objects such as spiritual weapons or spiritual medicines used in the foundation-building stage.

Could he really rely on his own strength to go against Chiba Temple?

His previous threats seemed to be as simple as not requiring him to make the elixir for Qianye Temple, but if they truly affected the development of Qianye Temple, Qianye Temple might really wipe him out completely.

"Shiming, please follow the sect's arrangements!" Li Shiming said with a bow.

"Xiao Ma said that you will definitely become a master of alchemy, so I will advance some of the benefits and upgrade the spiritual vein of the Sword-Bearing Peak where you are to the Golden Core level, which will also be convenient for you to practice!" Patriarch Fan was very satisfied with Li Shiming's understanding and decided with a smile.

Li Shiming expressed his gratitude again.

"By the way, you used a 'One Escape Ten Thousand Miles Talisman', and Qianye Temple sent three 'Buddha Light Ten Thousand Miles Talisman', you should collect them as well!" Patriarch Fan touched his body and found three more talismans in his hand, throwing them to Li Shiming and said.

Li Shiming almost forgot that he had used a "One Escape Ten Thousand Miles Talisman". He got a chance to inherit the divine eye-catching ability, and he felt that he had gained something.

He didn't expect that there would be three 'Buddha's Light Talismans' as compensation. In fact, this life-saving method was not important to him.

That's why he couldn't think of using up his life-saving trump card for a moment. His speed-based life-saving trump card would definitely not be the 'One Escape Ten Thousand Miles Talisman', but the entry-level magical power 'Lotus Blooms Every Step'.

After leaving Patriarch Fan's place, Elder Su asked Li Shiming to return to Chijian Peak, saying that the head manager of Beishu Trading Company, Lai Fei, would come to visit in person soon.

Unlike before when Cai Hong had to rely on Elder Su's face to meet Li Shiming, the status of this Manager Lai was extremely high. At least the look on Elder Su's face when he was explaining things to Li Shiming let Li Shiming know that Manager Lai's background was probably not simple.

Now that Li Shiming has a certain status and position, he can receive and handle matters related to himself on his own.

Li Shiming returned to his own Chijian Peak. As soon as he landed on the top of the peak, he sensed the change in spiritual energy.

Of course, the changes in spiritual energy at the top of the mountain were very subtle, but when he entered the cave, especially when he came to the training room, the concentration of spiritual energy at the exit of the spiritual vein had risen to the Jindan level, which was the same as the concentration of spiritual energy at his master Elder Su.

Although the Shushan Sect's spiritual energy supply is provided through spiritual veins, it is also controlled by the sect's formation.

Spiritual energy is a limited resource, and the sect must strictly control the supply of spiritual energy. Even if the main spiritual vein is abundant, it will not all be invested in various cave dwellings.

The main spiritual vein cannot be used at full capacity, but needs to be constantly maintained. This requires the sect's large formation and some spiritual objects to work together, while also ensuring the consumption ratio of the main spiritual vein.

Now, the spiritual energy of Chijian Peak is no longer consuming the spiritual vein of Tianmu Peak of his master, Elder Su, but directly reaching a spiritual vein from the main spiritual vein. These operations are completed by the Yuanying ancestor through the sect's formation.

It is estimated that the operation had been completed before Li Shiming returned, but it was Patriarch Fan who formally notified him.

Feeling his own Jindan stage spiritual vein, this indicated that his status in the sect had reached that of a Jindan cultivator.
