Li Shiming had just returned, and before he could carefully check the changes in the spiritual veins of Chijian Peak, he received a message of magic from outside the Chijian Peak formation.
He walked out of the cave and controlled the opening of the formation.
Manager Lai is a middle-aged Jindan cultivator with a gaunt face and a heavy aura, but he restrains it very well.
As soon as he entered the Sword Holding Peak, he was slightly startled. He was more sensitive to spiritual energy than Li Shiming.
It is certain that the spiritual vein of this seemingly ordinary sacred mountain has reached the golden elixir level.
He is experienced and is very familiar with the spiritual energy supply of large sects such as Shushan Sect.
Li Shiming's Sword-Changing Peak should be a branch of Tianmu Peak. Theoretically, it should not have a Jindan-level spiritual vein. If it needs to be transformed, a Yuanying cultivator must reshape the spiritual vein and draw another spiritual vein from the main spiritual vein.
Any work involving Nascent Soul cultivators is extremely rare in large sects.
Generally speaking, if you want to improve your spiritual veins, you just need to reallocate a spiritual mountain with a ready-made Jindan-level spiritual vein.
Li Shiming is still a foundation-building cultivator and needs to learn from Elder Su, so he has undergone such a transformation of his spiritual veins.
It is this special feature that reflects the change in Li Shiming's status in Shushan Sect.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I'm here to visit you on behalf of Beishu Trading Company!" Manager Lai said with a sincere smile on his face and took the initiative to bow.
He originally wanted to use another name, such as "Li Xiaoyou", which would be the most appropriate name.
But after he sensed the changes in the spiritual vein of Chijian Peak, he immediately changed the way he addressed Li Shiming and treated him as a peer.
"Manager Lai, please invite him in quickly!" Li Shiming knew that the other party was a cultivator in the late Jindan stage, so he returned the gift and invited him.
This time, Li Shiming invited Manager Lai to the hall of the cave. He seldom did so, but this time, as Manager Lai's identity, he had to treat him seriously.
Manager Lai entered the hall and looked at the surrounding arrangements, especially the second-grade golden lotus in the pond, his eyes were full of admiration.
This was not intentional on his part, but was a genuine admiration.
Treasures like the second-grade golden lotus are extremely rare even in the caves of Jindan cultivators.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I originally prepared a gift, but after seeing this golden lotus, I have a more suitable gift!" said Manager Lai with a smile.
He took out a jade bottle and handed it to Li Shiming.
Li Shiming took the jade bottle, opened the bottle mouth, probed his mind into it, and sensed an extremely strong vitality.
"Third-grade spiritual milk?" He couldn't help but be surprised. Although he couldn't tell the real name of the spiritual object in the jade bottle, it did not prevent him from judging its grade.
"This is the third-grade Wood Spirit Milk, obtained by accident. Although it is rare, it is not too precious. Its function is only to upgrade a spiritual plant from the second grade to the third grade. This function is too useless, so we have just put it aside!" Manager Lai explained with a smile without hiding anything.
What he said was not wrong. To upgrade a spiritual plant from the second grade to the third grade, it is not possible to do so by simply using the Wood Spirit Milk. Instead, the spiritual plant itself must have the potential to reach the third grade.
But using the third-grade Wood Spirit Milk to upgrade a spiritual plant that only needs time to reach the third grade is really useless. It is equivalent to exchanging the third-grade Wood Spirit Milk for the rapid growth of a third-grade spiritual plant.
Just like the second-grade golden lotus, with the previous concentration of spiritual energy, it would take many years to upgrade to the third grade. However, with the current concentration of spiritual energy, a lot of time can be saved.
But the third-grade wood spirit milk is indeed better when used on the second-grade golden lotus than on other spiritual plants.
The second-grade golden lotus is almost one of the most precious varieties of spiritual plants, and its growth period is extremely long. With the speed at which Li Shiming's strength is improving, perhaps the second-grade golden lotus will soon not be able to keep up with his strength improvement.
"Manager Lai is too polite. I am grateful for your kindness!" Li Shiming did not care about a gift like a bottle of third-grade Wood Spirit Milk.
Although this gift is of the third grade, it is actually just a consumable item among the third grades and is the third grade spiritual object with the lowest value.
He did not keep the third-grade wood spirit milk either, and poured the third-grade wood spirit milk in the jade bottle onto the second-grade golden lotus on the spot.
After the third-grade wood spirit milk came into contact with the second-grade golden lotus, it was immediately absorbed by the second-grade golden lotus. The small golden dots on the edge of the second-grade golden lotus slowly expanded and became more obvious.
Its quality was also improving at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the golden lotus was swaying slightly in the spiritual spring water.
When Li Shiming first obtained the Second Grade Golden Lotus, he did not know its effect until his fellow disciples reminded him of it.
The main reason is that the effect of the second-grade golden lotus is not very obvious, but now when the quality of the golden lotus is upgraded to the third grade, the amount of spiritual energy absorbed and discharged has increased many times. Standing next to the third-grade golden lotus, you can feel that the spiritual energy is being purified.
This kind of spiritual energy is easier for cultivators to absorb, and it can calm the cultivator's mind and reduce the impact of the mind on cultivation.
This indirectly improves the speed of cultivation. No wonder the golden lotus has become one of the most desired spiritual plants among cultivators.
Li Shiming and Manager Lai stood in front of the third-grade golden lotus, both showing an intoxicated look. For cultivators, the purified spiritual energy can make them intoxicated like fine wine.
"Congratulations to Brother Li for obtaining the third-grade golden lotus. I believe your cultivation will be smoother in the future!" Manager Lai congratulated with a smile.
"I would also like to thank Manager Lai for the third-grade Wood Spirit Milk. Please take a seat quickly. I am sorry for being rude!" Li Shiming also said with a smile.
After witnessing together the promotion of the second-grade golden lotus to the third grade, the relationship between the two became much closer.
Li Shiming took out the second-grade spiritual tea he had brewed to entertain the guests. It was not because he was stingy, but second-grade spiritual tea was more suitable for his status. Using third-grade spiritual tea to entertain the guests would seem like showing off.
Manager Lai naturally boasted about the second-grade spiritual tea again, and this was also a sincere boast. The spiritual tea roasted by Li Shiming in the computer room, like the spiritual pills he refined in the computer room, both reached the ultimate quality.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I think you have already discussed with Qianye Temple. I was also sent here to act as a lobbyist. I hope you can accept the alchemy mission regardless of where you come from!" After tasting the second-grade spiritual tea, Manager Lai talked about the first thing he came here for.
"Manager Lai, I didn't expect that my willful behavior would cause you to make this trip. I have indeed reached a settlement with Qianye Temple!" Li Shiming replied with a smile.
Manager Lai had received the news before he came, but that was reached before Li Shiming returned. Given Li Shiming's youthful vigor, there might be a reversal.
After hearing Li Shiming's personal confirmation, Manager Lai finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became even more sincere.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I heard that you have the 'Anti-Rejuvenation Pill'?" Manager Lai changed the subject and asked casually.
However, Li Shiming saw a gleam in the eyes of Manager Lai. Li Shiming thought that this was probably the most important thing that Manager Lai came here for.
The incident of Qianhuan Sect happened only a few days ago, but Beishu Trading Company got the news, which shows how great the influence of Beishu Trading Company is in Beishu Continent.
Since he took out the "Anti-Rejuvenation Pill" to trade in Qianhuan Sect, he also took today's situation into consideration.
"I do have two 'Anti-Rejuvenation Pills' in my hand. I didn't expect that Manager Lai would know about this little thing!" Li Shiming said with a smile.
"I wonder if Brother Li can hand over the two 'Anti-Rejuvenation Pills' to the company for auction. The company will not charge any handling fees and will sell them to you at the best price for free!" Manager Lai's eyes lit up even brighter, and he suggested with a smile.
Manager Lai did not believe that Li Shiming only had two "Anti-Yan Pills" in his hand, but he could not force Li Shiming to do anything. He was already very happy that Li Shiming could say that he still had "Anti-Yan Pills".
Li Shiming is not completely ignorant of business. Due to the information explosion in his previous life, he has learned some business skills through observation and exposure.
If there are too many of a commodity, it will lose its value. He does have quite a few "Anti-Rejuvenation Pills", but if he takes out too many at once, the value at the auction will be affected.
"Among the two 'Rejuvenation Pills', I have one that is useful. I can trade at most one more, but I don't need spirit stones. If there is any spiritual object that can impress me, I am willing to sell it!" Li Shiming ignored what Manager Lai said about the auction.
Now, he can proudly say about spirit stones, I am not interested in spirit stones. Spirit stones are just a string of numbers to me.
If he wanted spirit stones, he could just take out some high-level elixirs from his space ring and sell them for an astronomical amount of spirit stones.
He already had a lot of spirit stones in his hands, enough for him to use.
"Friend Li, after I go back I will contact the clients who have needs, and then inform you of the items they can offer. You can review them and agree to the transaction!" Manager Lai was a little disappointed, but still said with a smile.
Originally, he thought that having the "Anti-aging Pill" as the finale of the auction would greatly increase the popularity of the Beishu Commercial Bank's annual auction.
But it is obvious that Li Shiming is not an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, and currency such as spirit stones has no appeal to him.
Fortunately, as long as Li Shiming is willing to take out the "Anti-aging Pill", Beishu Trading Company can benefit.
In fact, within the Beishu Trading Company, there were senior executives who wanted to purchase the "Anti-Rejuvenation Pill" directly. However, the "Anti-Rejuvenation Pill" was too rare and would only appear once in many years, while the demand for the "Anti-Rejuvenation Pill" in the world of immortal cultivation was enormous.
The original plan of the Beishu Trading Company was to use the name of an auction, and then buy back the "Anti-Yan Pills" at a high price, and only use the "Anti-Yan Pills" to hype up the atmosphere of the auction.
Now all that was left was for Beishu Trading Company's high-end customers to make their own bids. Since Li Shiming had proposed this, Beishu Trading Company could no longer operate privately, otherwise it would alienate Li Shiming, an important alchemist.
"Thank you, Manager Lai, for your help!" Li Shiming expressed his gratitude with a smile.
"By the way, I'm here for another thing. The company has decided to upgrade your status in the company, from a guest alchemist to a guest official. Please review the rights and responsibilities of a guest official!" Manager Lai took out an agreement and handed it to Li Shiming.
Being a guest official is a special status, a high-level status that people from outside the power have within the power, and it is considered to be entering the upper level of Beishu Trading Company.
Of course, the guest official’s degree of freedom is not as high as that of the guest alchemist, but his powers are much stronger.
For example, Li Shiming can call upon the intelligence system of the Beishu Trading Company and receive a summary of intelligence from the intelligence system every once in a while, so that he can know the major events that have occurred in the Beishu continent during this period.
In addition, Beishu Trading Company has a fixed remuneration for guests, and it is paid according to the level of Jindan cultivators.
Among them are third-level resources, which alone is much more advanced than that of a guest alchemist.
The only trouble is that the guest officials are bound to Beishu Trading Company to some extent. When Beishu Trading Company encounters big troubles, the guest officials are needed to work together to face them.
As an alchemist, Li Shiming would not ask for such help in the form of force, but rather assistance in alchemy.
Li Shiming looked at the agreement, thought about it in his mind, and finally agreed to become a guest official of Beishu Trading Company.
"Guest Li, this is your guest ID card. You will be one of our family members from now on. If you encounter danger again, you can report it in advance using the guest ID card. The company can ask the Jindan elders of the six major sects to take action. Even if you have trouble with the six major sects, the company can help resolve it!" Manager Lai smiled even more sincerely.
Li Shiming had a good impression of Beishu Commercial Bank, especially the manager Lai.
The guest status was only brought up at the end, and after the guest agreement was presented, Li Shiming was not asked to agree to let the "Anti-Rejuvenation Pill" be sold by the merchant company for the guest's golden elixir resources.
If that were the case, Li Shiming would feel threatened.
And after everything was settled, bringing out the guest official agreement showed Manager Lai's respect for Li Shiming.
"This is a portion of third-grade spiritual tea, a pot of third-grade spiritual wine, three third-grade silver frost spiritual peaches, and ten third-grade green beard nuts. These are the golden elixir resources for three years. When the time comes in three years, someone will deliver the golden elixir resources!" Manager Lai took out a storage bag and handed it to Li Shiming, explaining to him.
Li Shiming was stunned. Although he knew that guests of Beishu Trading Company could receive golden elixir resources after reading the guest agreement, he did not expect that there would be so many golden elixir resources in three years.
Of course, it is believed that these third-grade resources are all produced by Beishu Trading Company itself, but even so, all third-grade spiritual tea, spiritual wine and spiritual fruit are the top-level hospitality items in the world of immortal cultivation.
Even if it is not used for entertaining, if you take it yourself, it is a treasure that can improve your own strength without any harm.
He took the storage bag and scanned the golden elixir resources inside with his mind, confirming that what he received were the third-grade spiritual objects that Manager Lai had said.
"It seems that I am still stingy!" Li Shiming smiled helplessly. He took out a jade bottle from his space ring and handed it to the shopkeeper Lai, saying: "This is a 'Rejuvenation Pill'. The company can use it for publicity first, and then send me a list of spiritual objects to exchange, and I will choose!"
"Don't worry, the company will definitely make good arrangements for you and maximize the value of the 'Anti-Rejuvenation Pill'!" Manager Lai took the jade bottle with a smile, opened it, observed it carefully and said.
