After seeing off Manager Lai, Li Shiming took out his guest ID card and accepted the alchemy tasks that had accumulated over the past few days.

It would take some time for the elixirs needed for the alchemy task to be delivered, so he walked into the practice room.

He did not take the top-level elixir. He sat at the outlet of spiritual energy and practiced the foundation-building chapter of the 'Five-Rhythm Qi Training Technique'.

There is no need to worry about the conflict of exercises. The greatest feature of the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Technique' is that it is moderate, peaceful and highly inclusive.

And there is spiritual power of the five elements in his spiritual lake. Although it is all five elements of thunder spiritual power, it does not affect his practice of the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Technique'.

Precisely because of the special features of the Spirit Lake, the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Technique' does not need to be practiced from the Qi Refining Stage, and there is no need to even consider the realm of the Foundation Establishment Stage. One can directly continue practicing from the current realm.

Li Shiming completely devoted his mind to the practice of the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Art'. It was his first time practicing the 'Five Rhymes Qi Training Art', and since he had the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Art' as a foundation, he did not feel the slightest bit of awkwardness.

His body slowly left the ground, and the five-colored light enveloped him and lifted him off the ground.

The spiritual power gushing out from the outlet of the spiritual vein was immediately attracted when it encountered the five-colored light, and then channeled into his body.

The spiritual energy in his body, after operating according to the foundation-building chapter of the "Five-Rhythm Qi Training Technique", was transformed into spiritual power with the five elements.

He almost thought that the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Array' in his spiritual lake had lost its effect, because the five elements of spiritual power were already generated when it circulated in the body, so why would there be any need for the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Array'?

But he soon found out that he was wrong, the five elements spiritual power cultivated by the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Technique' was only the spiritual power of the late foundation building period, and after being purified by the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Array', it was upgraded to the spiritual power of the peak of the late foundation building period.

He also discovered that the newly cultivated five-element spiritual power in the Spirit Lake had the same purity as the previous five-element spiritual power, because they had both been purified by the 'Five-element Qi Gathering Array', and both had reached the peak of the late foundation-building stage.

However, the new five elements spiritual power has an extra kind of spirituality compared to the previous five elements spiritual power, which was not there before.

The five kinds of spirituality matched the five elements, making the spiritual power in his spiritual lake more agile. He felt that the new five-element spiritual power had increased its power by at least 10%.

After practicing a round of 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Art', he practiced another round of 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art'. This time he discovered that the new five elements attribute spiritual power that he had cultivated in the Spirit Lake through the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Art' had to be transformed again through the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art', which was equivalent to repeating the practice process.

This is a huge waste of practice time. With the same amount of practice time, only half of the spiritual power is left for improvement, and a lot of time is wasted on the transformation of spiritual power into lightning attribute.

His brain was working, and IBMz15 extracted the two methods for comparison and quickly came up with a solution.

That is to practice the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Art' and the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art' at the same time. Since the operation routes of the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Art' and the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art' are mostly the same after absorbing spiritual energy into the body, after IBMz15's re-planning and calculation, it found the best solution for the fastest operation of the two exercises.

He went through many simulations in IBM z15. Although IBM z15's simulation of immortal cultivation techniques is still in its early stages and is based only on the data from monitoring his practice, the accuracy is extremely high for him as an individual.

It is estimated that in the entire world of cultivating immortals, there are not many cultivators who dare to practice such advanced techniques, and some of them have died from going astray.

Li Shiming was not aware of this, and he did not even consult his master, Elder Su. After obtaining the conclusion that IBMz15 had passed the simulation many times, he began to practice the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Art' and the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art' at the same time.

Of course, he was also very careful. IBMz15 would monitor his situation all the time and alert him if there was any problem, using sound and other means to pull him out of his practice state.

The simultaneous practice of the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Art' and the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art' went extremely smoothly, so smoothly that he could hardly believe it.

This is related to the compatibility of the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Art'. The bold Li Shiming practiced the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Art' and the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art' at the same time in one round of practice, and the five elements of thunder spiritual power with the five elements spirituality was added to the spiritual lake.

Li Shiming was very proud of his cultivation results. He took out a first-grade elixir and released the 'Absolute Spirit Phantom Snake' from the machine room. He teased it with the elixir and cultivated feelings with it.

He suddenly patted his head, then came to the hall of the cave and moved the third-grade golden lotus and the pool to the training room.

The third-grade golden lotus can purify spiritual energy. The spiritual energy that has been absorbed and exhaled by the third-grade golden lotus can be converted into different amounts of spiritual power when absorbing the same amount of spiritual energy during cultivation. The effect of converting spiritual energy that has been absorbed and exhaled by the third-grade golden lotus into spiritual power is nearly twice that of ordinary spiritual energy.

This allows him to make better use of every minute of practice time, making his practice more efficient.

The third-grade golden lotus is extremely important to other cultivators, but to him it is just the icing on the cake.

The time when he practiced was most efficient was after taking the top-level elixir. At that time, the main source of spiritual energy was provided by the top-level elixir, and external spiritual energy only accounted for a very small part.

However, no matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still flesh. The improved efficiency of cultivation when not using top-level elixirs is also of great help to his cultivation.

The moving third-grade golden lotus made the cave hall lose an important scene, but the cultivator’s cultivation was more important.

Li Shiming lived a normal life again. He would refine elixirs five times a day, ten furnaces each time, and all of them were second-grade elixirs.

The rest of the time was spent on cultivation, studying formations and the technology of the previous life, and life became more and more busy.

Just a few months later, the benefits of practicing the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Art' became apparent. It was not an improvement in strength, but Li Shiming's current strength in the foundation-building stage had almost reached the top level of the late foundation-building stage.

The benefit he gained was the strengthening of the Red Sun Spiritual Fire. After several months of absorbing fire-attributed spiritual power, the originally small Red Sun Spiritual Fire had grown to the size of a fist.

This was a significant improvement, and the speed of improvement still surprised him greatly.

You should know that the Red Sun Spirit Fire had absorbed fire-attributed spiritual power before, but the speed of improvement was not so fast at that time. He originally thought that it would take the Golden Core Stage for the Red Sun Spirit Fire to be significantly enhanced.

The enhancement of the Red Sun Spirit Fire naturally comes from the fire attribute spiritual power cultivated through the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Technique'.

The five elements of thunder spiritual power in Li Shiming's spiritual lake has more spirituality than before he practiced the "Five Rhythms Qi Training Art", and it is this spirituality that greatly enhances the Red Sun Spirit Fire.

Although he didn't know the other functions of this spirituality, just the fact that it could enhance the Red Sun Spirit Fire was already a great surprise.

This means that he can now try to refine the third-grade elixir. Previously, the Red Sun Spiritual Fire was a bit difficult for him, but now he doesn't need to worry about this problem.

He has been in seclusion these days. Apart from the cultivators from Beishu Trading Company who delivered the elixir materials and took away the elixir, he himself has not left Chijian Peak.

It just so happens that Master Elder Su is also in seclusion, so there is no need to go over to him for the time being.

When Li Shiming was about to go to Danding Peak to meet Elder Ma, he received a message from Elder Su. It seemed that Elder Su had come out of seclusion, and it was the guidance day of a normal month.

He thought about it, put a silver frost peach and three green beard nuts in two jade boxes respectively, and then headed towards Tianmu Peak.

When he arrived at Tianmu Peak, he saw his eldest sister and three senior brothers were there. When fourth senior brother Xu Chuan and third senior brother Lu Shi saw him, shyness showed on their faces.

Even the second senior brother Wan Zheng had a sad look on his face, thinking that if he was not in the late stage of foundation building, he might not feel good about it right now.

"I told you to practice well, but now you've been surpassed by your junior brother!" Senior Sister Ye Jingxian spoke out the thoughts of the three.

"Three senior brothers, I am able to do this because I had some opportunities!" Li Shiming hurriedly comforted them.

He didn't want his senior brothers to have a rift because of this matter. In the past, his senior brothers had taken great care of him.

"It has nothing to do with me, Junior Brother. We don't have to compete with other cultivators for our spiritual pills now. They are all the best, far surpassing those of other cultivators. This is all thanks to my Junior Brother!" Wan Zheng said, waving his hands repeatedly.

Lu Shi and Xu Chuan also nodded in agreement with their second senior brother. With Li Shiming as their senior alchemist junior brother, they no longer had to worry about cultivation resources.

Although Li Shiming would not make elixirs for them for free due to the rules of alchemists, the fact that Li Shiming could make elixirs for them at any time was enough to make all the foundation-building cultivators in the Northern Shu continent envious.

Li Shiming's reputation is very great in the Northern Shu Continent, especially among the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage. The main reason is that he almost no longer refines elixirs for the Qi Refining Stage, and all he accepts are second-grade elixirs.

There were so many foundation-building cultivators in the Northern Shu Continent, and most of the elixirs he refined were orders from the six major sects, with the rest coming from various small and medium-sized sects. Not many actually made it into the hands of independent cultivators.

So although Li Shiming seemed to refine a lot of elixirs every month, the elixirs with his mark were still in short supply, which made him even more famous.

"After a while, I'm afraid I will reduce the refining of second-grade elixirs!" Seeing that his three senior brothers did not show any jealousy, Li Shiming smiled and revealed a little information.

"Did something happen?" Xu Chuan was stunned and asked hurriedly.

"Recently, I feel that I should be able to try to refine a third-grade elixir. I'm planning to go to Danding Peak after meeting my master!" Since they are all family, Li Shiming did not hide anything.

He felt that refining the third-grade elixir would not be a problem. He had seen Elder Ma refining the third-grade elixir. In addition, Elder Ma was very tolerant of him and allowed him to use his spiritual sense to observe when refining the elixir. This allowed him to already have a large amount of data on refining the third-grade elixir, which was recorded in the IBM z15.

"Junior brother, are you going to become a master alchemist?" Ye Jingxian had the biggest reaction. She excitedly grabbed Li Shiming's shoulders with confirmation in her eyes.

"I feel it's about right. I'm about to give it a try!" Li Shiming nodded.

"I need to refine the four kinds of elixirs that make my pills, but I don't know what to do. I have to trouble my junior brother to help me!" Ye Jingxian said happily.

She was naturally happy. Although she could also ask her master Elder Su to ask Elder Ma for help, it would cost her a favor for her master Elder Su to ask Elder Ma for help.

Most importantly, the elixir Li Shiming uses must be a high-level elixir, which even Elder Ma is not as good as.

Of course, Ye Jingxian didn't know whether Li Shiming could guarantee the quality of the third-grade elixir when he was refining it, but based on her relationship with Li Shiming, she knew that Li Shiming would not refine the elixir if he was not sure.

"If you don't mind, Senior Sister, I will refine it for you when I am sure of it!" Li Shiming did not refuse, as the Senior Sister treated him well.

"I'll give you the materials first, and give them to me after you have refined them!" Ye Jingxian took out a few jade boxes and handed them to Li Shiming without even thinking about it.

She was not worried at all about what might happen to the elixir-making resources that she had fought so hard for. Li Shiming's reputation was built through countless high-quality and advanced elixirs.

"Please rest assured, Senior Sister!" Li Shiming looked at the jade boxes in his hand and nodded heavily in response.

He knew how important the resources for making pills were. Ye Jingxian's set of resources for making pills was not only obtained because of Elder Su, but also because of Ye Jingxian's decades of accumulation of contribution points. He was touched by this trust.

In fact, he already had two sets of elixir-making resources, one set was from his clone Li Yuanba, and the other set was compensation from Elder Ji.

Elder Ji was able to provide the resources to make pills, but he was also providing the only qualification for making pills in his lineage for ten years. This was something that Patriarch Fan had to negotiate with Patriarch Zuo in person after he found Elder Ji's lineage.

The main reason was that Elder Ji and his men had gone too far, and even dared to touch the sect's alchemy masters. The alchemy department also stepped forward, and Elder Ji's department had to compromise.

Otherwise, the supply of elixirs to Elder Ji's group might be problematic, and if that happens, all the cultivators in the group might become alienated.

This matter was kept very secret, on the one hand to protect Li Shiming, if the news got out it would be bad for his safety as some cultivators would covet his resources for making pills.

On the other hand, it is a matter of face for Elder Ji's faction. Such compensation can be said to have made Elder Ji's faction lose face, and they would like to keep the news tightly blocked.

As they were talking, Elder Su arrived. As usual, Elder Su paid attention to the cultivation of his disciples.

Xu Chuan and Lu Shi were given a focused criticism, which made them both feel helpless, and there was resentment in their eyes when they looked at Li Shiming. This criticism was naturally because Li Shiming's realm had now reached the late stage of foundation building.

Elder Su was also looking at Li Shiming. Li Shiming was a disciple who was too worry-free. As long as Li Shiming did not go out, Elder Su did not need to worry about him at all. The main cultivation techniques were all mastered by Li Shiming himself.
