Today's Shushan Sect's sect formation is a little special. A light and shadow passage leading directly from the outside of the mountain gate to a mountain next to Tianmu Peak makes this seemingly ordinary mountain stand out.

The sect's great formation gathered the light of the formation on the four walls of the passage opened specially for this celebration. This was a sign of respect for the guests and also to avoid disturbing the caves of other cultivators.

Of course, there are hardly any idle monks in the Shushan Sect today. Except for the monks who are in retreat, all the monks are mobilized. Some are responsible for patrolling, some are responsible for reception, some are responsible for welcoming guests, and so on.

The celebration of the alchemy master is an extremely important event even for a large sect like Shushan Sect.

One after another, luxurious flying boats followed the light and shadow channel into the gate of Shushan Sect. The markings on these flying boats revealed the identities of their owners, who were all Jindan cultivators from the three major sects of the righteous path and various major forces.

Even for the Shushan Sect’s cultivators, many of them were seeing so many Jindan cultivators for the first time.

Around the mountain where the celebration was held, flocks of fairy birds were flying. They were transferred from all over the sect to entertain the guests.

The entire mountain was rearranged from bottom to top, and various spiritual flowers and plants formed a gorgeous picture.

Elder Su and Elder Ma stood beside Li Shiming, on a flat area on the top of the mountain, welcoming each guest.

Li Shiming was very unfamiliar with these guests, and every guest would exchange contact information with him, which would become his future network.

Some are Jindan cultivators known to Elder Su and Elder Ma, some are important allies of the sect, and some are important figures from various forces.

Li Shiming saw an ordinary emerald green flying boat and a smile appeared on his face. It was completely different from the polite smile he had always maintained before. This time it was a smile from the heart.

"This is Yin Shilan you mentioned, right? She's worthy of you!" Elder Su saw Yin Shilan getting off the emerald green flying boat and said to Li Shiming through voice transmission.

Elder Su and Elder Ma did not step forward and let Li Shiming go to greet them.

When Li Shiming walked forward, he saw Liang Yexuan who was getting off the flying boat. He nodded slightly to Liang Yexuan, then ignored her and came to Yin Shilan.

"Lan'er, come and meet my master!" Li Shiming said to Yin Shilan with a smile.

Of course Yin Shilan knew what this meant. She was a little nervous, but still nodded slightly and followed Li Shiming to the two masters without objection.

Liang Yexuan knew the special meaning of this, so she tactfully stepped behind.

"Yin Shilan greets Elder Su!" Yin Shilan bowed to Elder Su and said, then turned around and bowed to Elder Ma: "Yin Shilan greets Elder Ma!"

"Shiming, treat others well!" Elder Su smiled and accepted the greeting, then instructed Li Shiming.

"You are worthy of Shi Ming!" Elder Ma also smiled and accepted the salute.

Elder Su took out a female cultivator's spiritual robe and gave it to Yin Shilan, and Elder Ma gave out a bottle of spiritual pills. Although this gift was nothing at the Jindan level, it was definitely a good gift at the foundation-building stage.

Elder Su and Elder Ma both have other disciples, and they have standards for this kind of gifts. This is also the rule formed by millions of years of inheritance in large sects.

"Thank you, Master!" Li Shiming smiled and thanked on behalf of Yin Shilan.

What he thanked them for was not the gift, but the attitude of the two masters. The two masters accepted Yin Shilan.

"Yin Shilan, just stand next to Shiming and help welcome the guests!" Elder Su looked at the two people standing together and ordered with a smile.

As he was speaking, Master Luo's flying boat also stopped and Master Luo walked out of the flying boat.

This is a formal celebration, and all the monks, regardless of their identities, come here by flying boat, as a sign of respect for the host.

"Elder Su, you are trying to steal my disciple!" Master Luo heard Elder Su's instructions and replied with a smile.

"Elder Luo, long time no see. How dare I snatch your disciple away? Shiming will also be half your disciple from now on!" Elder Su replied with a smile.

"That's true!" Master Luo didn't say anything else and simply replied.

She was still jealous of Elder Su in her heart. Li Shiming became Elder Su's disciple only because he brought Elder Su's life-saving elixir with him. She snatched Li Shiming, who was originally planning to join the Qianhuan Sect.

Otherwise, the glory now belongs to Qianhuan Sect and to her.

So she was actually a bit critical when she opened her mouth, but when she saw Elder Su's smile, she didn't even want to speak anymore.

"Shiming, are you already in the late stage of foundation building?" She suddenly saw the realm clearly revealed by Li Shiming and asked curiously.

She knew that Li Shiming was in the middle stage of foundation building not long ago. How come he is already in the late stage of foundation building now?

"Elder Luo, you don't know that Shiming is a cautious child by nature. He is also a person with great fortune. He has been hiding it since his realm was raised. He was not until his master saw it and gave him a lecture that he realized his position in the sect and that he did not need to be so cautious!" Elder Su explained with a smile.

He actually said this to the Jindan cultivators not far away. For the Jindan cultivators, they could hear the conversations here clearly without any special perception.

Li Shiming is already in the late stage of foundation building at this age, which is indeed too conspicuous.

However, after Elder Su brought up Patriarch Fan, anyone present who had any thoughts about Li Shiming's rapid improvement in realm gave up the idea.

Even without considering Li Shiming's identity as a master alchemist, one still needs to consider the price of offending a Nascent Soul ancestor who spoke out to protect Li Shiming.

Elder Su's words showed Patriarch Fan's attitude. As long as they were cultivators from the Northern Shu Continent, no cultivator would dare to ignore Patriarch Fan's protection.

"Shiming, this is my gift!" Yin Shilan handed a jade box to Li Shiming and said softly.

"This is mine!" Liang Yexuan also jumped out and handed over a jade box.

Li Shiming took the jade box with a smile, and opened it under Yin Shilan's expectant gaze. The third-grade spiritual tea inside was emerald green, with a total of fifteen pieces, none of which had been roasted.

This made Li Shiming's eyes light up. For him, the unroasted third-grade spiritual tea leaves were better than the roasted spiritual tea.

The spiritual tea he stir-fries is of the best quality and can show the quality of the spiritual tea to the greatest extent.

Although this gift was prepared by Master Luo for Yin Shilan, he also prepared this gift because he had heard Yin Shilan talk about Li Shiming's expertise in tea frying.

"I like it very much. I'll give you half of it after it's cooked!" Li Shiming said with a smile.

"Look at my gift!" Liang Yexuan reminded.

Li Shiming smiled and opened the other jade box, revealing a third-grade spiritual medicine inside.

"Liang Yexuan, this is so precious!" he said in surprise.

It’s not that this gift is extremely precious among all the gifts given by the guests. In fact, most of the gifts brought by the Jindan cultivators who came this time are third-grade spiritual medicines.

Third-grade elixirs are indeed precious, but Jindan cultivators are still able to obtain them from dangerous places. Some third-grade elixirs that they cannot use can be given as gifts to the alchemy master. This not only helps them to befriend the alchemy master, but also builds a friendship.

At least when he contacts Li Shiming later and asks him to privately refine a third-grade elixir, he won't be easily rejected.

But Liang Yexuan was a foundation-building cultivator, so this gift was too expensive. Li Shiming only thought that Liang Yexuan would give a normal gift for a foundation-building cultivator, which would at most be slightly more expensive than an ordinary gift.

"This is a gift prepared by Elder Liang, and it was delivered by Liang Yexuan!" Master Luo explained.

"Liang Yexuan, thank Elder Liang on my behalf!" Li Shiming understood, and he said to Liang Yexuan with a smile.

It cannot be blamed that he did not invite Elder Liang. Elder Liang was not a friend of Elder Su and Elder Ma, and he did not know Elder Liang before, so he did not consider sending Elder Liang an invitation.

"Shiming, this is my gift!" Master Luo also took out a storage bag and handed it over.

If the gift can be put into a storage bag, it means that the gift is either large in size or in large quantity.

Li Shiming took the storage bag, his mind entered the storage bag, and found eighteen formation flags.

This is a third-grade formation flag made by a formation master. It can be said that among all the gifts received so far, this gift is the most important.

The eighteen formation flags are almost equivalent to the value of a magic weapon, and they are not compared with ordinary magic weapons, but with the best magic weapons.

Although Li Shiming's Starlight Sea formation was only one step away from promotion, he had rarely come into contact with third-grade materials before reaching this level, let alone using third-grade materials to make formation flags.

With eighteen third-grade formation flags in his hand, he was confident that when he encountered an early Jindan cultivator outside the mountain gate, the eighteen third-grade formation flags would be enough to protect himself until the sect's Jindan cultivator arrived.

Of course, this presupposes that the formation level must be sufficient to match, otherwise these eighteen third-grade formation flags are just decorations.

This was the most suitable gift for Li Shiming and it helped him a lot.

"Master Luo, this gift..." He was stopped by Master Luo with a wave of his hand before he finished speaking.

"Shiming, this gift is also for Shilan. Only when you have the ability to protect yourself can Shilan feel at ease!" Master Luo glanced at Yin Shilan and said.

Yin Shilan blushed when she heard this. Elder Su and Elder Ma beside her were curious about what the gift was. Li Shiming had just checked the gift in the storage bag with his divine sense and had not taken it out.

"In addition, I also have a selfish motive. I have prepared ninety formation flags in exchange for a 'Rejuvenation Pill'!" Master Luo stared into Li Shiming's eyes and said softly.

She didn't want to say it in public, but she knew very well that if she didn't say it now, who would know how many "Anti-Rejuvenation Pills" Li Shiming still had.

She saw quite a few female Jindan cultivators arriving, and these female Jindan cultivators were not supposed to be here.

Their appearance can only mean one thing, that is, they came for the "Rejuvenating Pill".

As a female cultivator, Master Luo knows the appeal of the 'Anti-Rejuvenation Pill' to female cultivators. For a 'Anti-Rejuvenation Pill', the price a female cultivator can pay is unimaginable for male cultivators.

Master Luo was worried that if other female Jindan cultivators proposed to exchange it first, Li Shiming might exchange the "Anti-Rejuvenation Pill" in his hand.

As for the "Anti-aging Pill" of Beishu Trading Company, according to gossip, it has been spotted by a female cultivator of the Beishu Trading Company who is in the Nascent Soul stage. As long as Li Shiming tells her what spiritual object he has set his sights on, the female cultivator will be the first to exchange it.

Even though Master Luo took out 108 third-grade formation flags at once, which seemed to be of high value, it was not cost-effective to exchange them for only one "Anti-Rejuvenation Pill".

But in the eyes of a female cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, these are nothing at all. As long as they are not fourth-grade spiritual objects, the Nascent Soul female cultivator can get them easily.

Li Shiming then realized that the "Anti-aging Pill" he had sold to Liang Yexuan before seemed to be sold at a low price. He glanced at Liang Yexuan.

"I've already eaten!" Liang Yexuan quickly avoided his gaze, hid behind Yin Shilan and said softly.

"Master Luo, please stay for a while after the celebration!" Li Shiming said vaguely to Master Luo with a smile.

"Of course, you should talk more with Shi Lan!" Master Luo certainly understood that his words implied agreement, and replied with a smile.

The arrival of each guest made Li Shiming re-acquaint himself with the world of immortal cultivation.

In the world of immortal cultivation that he had seen before, a third-grade spiritual object was extremely precious and rare.

But after becoming a master of alchemy, look at these guests, all they gave away were third-grade spiritual objects.

"Manager Lai, welcome, welcome!" Li Shiming saw Manager Lai getting off a flying boat with the Beishu Trading Company logo. He smiled and went forward to greet him together with his two masters and Yin Shilan.

He and Manager Lai have both public and private relationships, and Lai is one of his few friends in the Jindan stage, so the enthusiasm he shows is sincere.

Elder Su and Elder Ma also understood this, so after expressing their welcome, they stood aside to communicate with other monks, leaving this side to Li Shiming.

"Why call me Manager Lai? Call me Brother Lai. I will call you Brother Shiming. If you consider me a friend, then you can call me that!" Manager Lai is a businessman. He knows how to bring people closer together.

"Brother Lai, since you said so, I will certainly obey you!" Li Shiming agreed without any hesitation.

His status as a master of alchemy has indeed reached the level of a Jindan-stage cultivator, and even somewhat exceeded it.

But he also understood that compared with the late Jindan cultivator like Manager Lai, his status was still quite different.

"Brother Shiming, I didn't expect you to become a master of alchemy so quickly!" Manager Lai exclaimed.

"It's all luck. I didn't expect it to be so smooth!" Li Shiming said modestly.

"Is this your sister-in-law? I came out in a hurry this time and didn't bring any gifts. This talisman can be considered as a meeting gift to your sister-in-law!" Manager Lai took out a talisman from his body and gave it to Yin Shilan who was standing next to Li Shiming.

Although Yin Shilan was wealthy, he was still a little embarrassed to accept the talisman when he saw it.

It was a life-saving talisman for foundation-building cultivators. Not all true disciples could possess it. Only the true disciples that the sect valued the most would get one.

"Lan'er, just accept Brother Lai's kindness!" Li Shiming was not going to be polite. The value of the elixir he refined for Beishu Trading Company could be exchanged for a large number of talismans like this.
