Li Shiming only had the jade slip in his hand, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
The contents of the jade slip are really too shocking. This jade slip is just an ordinary jade slip, but it records extremely detailed information of the entire Beishu continent.
It is so detailed that even the major formations of the major sects are recorded accordingly.
The rest of the spiritual mines, spiritual plants, and powerful independent cultivators are all recorded in different categories.
Li Shiming was already very knowledgeable about formations, and he was only a little bit away from becoming a formation master.
Although he didn't know much about the large formations of other sects, he was familiar with the large formations of the two major sects, Shushan Sect and Senluo Sect.
The jade slip did not contain detailed information about the two major sects' formations. It only recorded some of the information about the formations that had been discovered. However, with this information, the formation master could deduce the operation mode of the formation, which was of great help in breaking the formation.
In addition, there is also a contact information in the jade slip, which includes cultivators from the six major sects to various forces, ranging from Qi Refining cultivators to Golden Core cultivators, totaling nearly a thousand cultivators.
With a list like this, there is no need to speculate too much, you can be sure that it is a list of intelligence personnel.
Although Tianxing Trading Company wants to open up the situation in the Northern Shu Continent, relying on Tianxing Trading Company's current business operations, it needs to deploy so many intelligence personnel in the six major sects and various places in Northern Shu. The investment involved is not something that Tianxing Trading Company's Northern Shu Continent branch can handle.
In Li Shiming's opinion, this is basically a piece of military intelligence. The information in the jade slip is enough to accurately strike important locations on the Northern Shu continent when foreign enemies invade.
He felt that his identity jade disc had sent him information, and discovered that there were already dozens of messages on it, all from Elder Zhao and the other two alchemy masters, asking him where he was.
When he was escaping, he did not pay attention to the news about the identity jade disc.
At this moment, Elder Zhao, who never gave up, sent a message to confirm whether Li Shiming was still alive.
"Elder Zhao, I'm fine and will return to the sect on my own!" Li Shiming replied with a message and put away the identity jade disc without further explanation.
In Huoyun Valley, Elder Zhao had already regained consciousness. With so many alchemists and two alchemy masters present, even if he was just knocked unconscious or seriously injured, he could be rescued.
He held the jade disc of identity with a guilty look on his face, feeling extremely regretful.
Li Shiming reported to the sect that he had killed Fang Lu in the cave. The sect reprimanded Tianxing Trading Company, and there were follow-up incidents.
But Elder Zhao never imagined that Tianxing Trading Company would be so overbearing, and that the fake-infant monk Feng Yi, the supervisor, would dare to launch a surprise attack on Li Shiming.
Due to the explosion of Li Shiming’s cave, no one knows whether Li Shiming is alive or dead until now.
And the fake baby in charge of Feng Yi left calmly. The Shushan Sect lost face this time. Even if they retaliated afterwards, the Shushan Sect would be greatly affected if they lost the alchemy master Li Shiming.
Just when he was feeling extremely uneasy, news came from the identity jade disc in his hand. His mind swept across the identity jade disc, and the guilt on his face instantly disappeared, turning into a look of surprise.
"Is there any news about Master Li?" Master Tong Yun and Master Yun Ruo were standing nearby. They both saw Elder Zhao's expression and asked at the same time.
"Li Shiming is still alive and he will return to the sect!" Elder Zhao replied with a smile.
These two alchemy masters mobilized all nearby cultivators to search for Li Shiming's disappearance. He wanted to be thanked for this favor, and the Shushan Sect did the same.
"That's great! If anything happened to Master Li, it would be a huge loss to the alchemy world!" Master Yun Ruo breathed a sigh of relief.
He was extremely convinced of Li Shiming's alchemy skills, not only because of that competition, but also because of the contact he had with Li Shiming in the two days after the event. Li Shiming's many insights into alchemy made him realize how high Li Shiming's alchemy skills were.
Even he benefited from Li Shiming's explanation.
Not to mention what happened in Huoyun Valley, Li Shiming was using the 'Secret Method of Charming Soul Hiding in Shadows' and 'Lotus Blooming Step by Step' to quickly return to the sect through the shadows along the way. As for the sect's alchemists, they were brought back by Elder Zhao.
In addition to worrying about another attack from Tianxing Trading Company, he also had to return to the sect as quickly as possible because of the jade slip in his hand.
After returning to the sect, he immediately went to the outside of Tianmu Peak and sent a voice transmission spell to ask for a meeting.
He was lucky and didn't have to wait long, just an incense stick's time, before Elder Su responded and a passage was opened in the formation of Tianmu Peak.
Li Shiming passed through the passage and entered Tianmu Peak. He landed in the pavilion and waited quietly.
He didn't have to wait long. Ten breaths after he entered the pavilion, Elder Su arrived.
"I heard from Xiao Zhao that something happened to you. Your good fortune really makes people love and fear you!" Elder Su glanced at Li Shiming's body, and after confirming that Li Shiming was not injured, he shook his head helplessly.
Li Shiming's theory of good fortune originated from Elder Su and was recognized by many monks.
Elder Su believed that Li Shiming had great fortune, which was why he had achieved what he had today, but his great fortune also caused trouble every time Li Shiming traveled.
Originally, the normal travel missions of the monks were the daily behavior of every monk.
But look at Li Shiming, Elder Su specially chose the safest mission for him to participate in the alchemist conference.
The Alchemist Festival can be said to be the safest place, as all the alchemists from the righteous forces of the Northern Shu Continent gather there. No cultivator dares to cause trouble there, because the result of doing so would be to offend almost all the alchemists from the righteous forces.
But even such a safe mission still caused trouble for Li Shiming.
The reason why it is said is because of Li Shiming's good fortune. Although the fake infant cultivator is not a real Nascent Soul ancestor, it is not so easy to see one.
But this time, Li Shiming was attacked by a fake infant monk. He encountered such a high probability. No wonder Elder Su thought it was a disaster caused by good fortune.
"After killing Fang Lu, I felt uneasy, so I left the cave arranged by Huoyun Valley without telling anyone else and secretly hid in other places. I didn't expect that I could actually save my life!" Li Shiming half-truthfully explained why he was able to survive.
He did not tell Elder Su that he had resolved the issue of Director Feng Yi, as that kind of thing would be difficult to explain if he told it.
A cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage killed a cultivator in the early Golden Core Stage. It can be said that the treasure on his body played a role.
Anyway, with his financial resources as a master alchemist, it is normal for him to have some means to protect his life.
But if it was about killing a false infant cultivator while building the foundation, not only would Elder Su not believe it, even Li Shiming himself would not believe it if he had not really done it.
"I have also heard of Feng Yi. He is a very shrewd person. How could he attack and kill you for Fang Lu? This would mean a complete break with the Shushan Sect?" Elder Su asked in a deep voice.
Li Shiming didn't say anything. He took out the jade slip and handed it over.
Elder Su took the jade slip and probed his spiritual sense into it. Soon his expression changed drastically.
"Where did you get this?" he asked solemnly.
Tianxing Trading Company's influence in the Northern Shu Continent is insignificant, but Tianxing Trading Company is a cross-continental trading company. It is not a good thing for such a cross-continental trading company to collect a lot of important information that is not related to business.
"I found it on Fang Lu after I killed her!" Li Shiming said the excuse he had prepared long ago.
Elder Su nodded slightly, and he once again probed his spiritual sense into the jade slip to confirm it again and again.
"No wonder Feng Yi wanted to kill you. You have such an important thing in your hands, you must not let it out!" Elder Su shook his head and said, "You should have informed the sect as soon as you got such an important thing. Why did you stay there to attend the alchemist meeting?"
His tone was full of complaints and worries. If Li Shiming had not been alert, perhaps Li Shiming would have really been in trouble this time.
You have to know that the one who attacked this time was a fake infant cultivator. Not to mention Li Shiming, even Elder Zhao's sword cultivator Jindan was knocked unconscious without any ability to fight back.
"It was only after I saw Feng Yi's fake baby attacking my cave that I thought of carefully checking the things left on Fang Lu's body. That's how I found this jade slip!" Li Shiming had to explain with a lie.
"Don't accept any more missions recently. Wait until the sect has dealt with this matter!" Elder Su looked at his disciples and gave the order tiredly.
Li Shiming has reached the half-step golden elixir and needs to go out to experience some things, but the current situation does not allow Li Shiming to go out anymore.
Elder Su even wanted to confine Li Shiming to the sect and never let him go out again. Li Shiming's fortune was too affected, and he would encounter trouble every time he went out, and each time was bigger than the last.
Of course, along with the trouble comes the reward. The jade slip in Elder Su’s hand is Li Shiming’s blessing.
If the information on the jade slip is confirmed, then Li Shiming's contribution this time is enormous. Not only the Shushan Sect, but all other major sects would have to thank Li Shiming.
Elder Su took the jade slip to discuss with the Shushan Sect's top leaders, while Li Shiming returned to his Chijian Peak.
Sitting in the training room, Li Shiming felt the rich spiritual energy nourishing himself. This time the harvest was certainly huge, but the only thing he could use was the 'Tianluo Fairy Milk'.
However, his realm has reached the half-step golden elixir, and it would be a waste to take the "Tianluo Immortal Milk" at this time, because his body refining skills have reached the highest bottleneck of the realm. Unless he is promoted to the golden elixir, he will not gain much benefit even if he takes the "Tianluo Immortal Milk".
On the contrary, the clone Li Yuanba is in need of a treasure like the 'Tianluo Fairy Milk'.
Unfortunately, it is not realistic for either the clone Li Yuanba to come over or the original body Li Shiming to go over, so they can only wait for an opportunity.
Li Shiming was also helpless. He had a treasure that could improve his strength, but his realm limited him and he couldn't use it.
He sat cross-legged, activated IBM z15 and began to study the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Art'. Now that he could not go out, he could only try to achieve the path of elixir by continuously improving his understanding of the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Art'.
The clone Li Yuanba has taken over the defense of Zhenbei Island.
Zhenbei Island is a large island. The formations arranged on the island are extremely sophisticated. In addition to defending the entire Zhenbei Island, it also provides a communication barrier for the surrounding 500 miles area.
There would not be only three Jindan cultivators on such a big island. There were also twenty foundation-building cultivators and many Qi-refining cultivators.
In addition, Zhenbei Island is the largest resource exchange area and safe rest area in this sea area. Senluo Sect provides shelter for the monks living in this sea area, and the resources excavated from the sea by these monks will be sold to Zhenbei Island nearby.
Of course, the biggest function of Zhenbei Island is to guard against sea beasts in the ocean. Although there is a peace contract, the sea beasts are not completely under control.
There will always be some sea beasts that have the opportunity to become great monsters, and when they are not restricted, they rely on their instincts to invade the continent.
Zhenbei Island is used to defend this sea area from the chaos caused by the big monsters and to protect this sea area and the coastline of Beishu Continent.
This task is not difficult, but it takes a long time. Seeing that Senluo Sect only sent three Jindan early stage cultivators here, and the previous three stationed Jindan were also in the early stage of Jindan, it can be seen that the security here is very high.
The sea beasts will not be dispatched in large numbers. One or two big sea beasts, three early Jindan cultivators and the large formation of Zhenbei Island are enough.
The three early Jindan cultivators are not independent cultivators; they are all Jindan cultivators from large sects, and none of them is weak in strength.
However, strength is respected among cultivators, and this is also true in Zhenbei Island.
He Wei and Liu Gang, the two Jindan cultivators, were extremely respectful to Li Yuanba, a cultivator who had just entered the Jindan stage, and put their own status behind him.
"Junior Brother Li, the Zhenbei Market on Zhenbei Island needs someone to be in charge, so you can go over there!" He Wei suggested with a smile.
The Zhenbei Market is very important. There are many businesses there that purchase various resources and also sell everything that the monks need. Since this sea area is extremely rich and it is the only market nearby, even monks from a wide range of areas on the shore trade in this market. The output of the Zhenbei Market is very high.
Sitting in charge of Zhenbeifang City has become a lucrative position. Although the output of Zhenbeifang City will be equally divided among the three Jindan, which can be regarded as a benefit of guarding this island, the benefits gained by directly sitting in Zhenbeifang City will be greater.
"No need for that. You guys decide who will take charge. I have just completed the elixir and I need to go into seclusion for a while. If a big monster attacks, I will certainly help!" Li Yuanba waved his hand and refused.
He really doesn't care about the benefits here.
For a little profit, he needs to take great pains to guard the market. Perhaps this task is a good extra income for ordinary sect monks, but he does not need this extra income at all. What he lacks is time for practice.
He Wei and Liu Gang looked at each other, with joy on their faces.
"Since you have an idea, I won't bother you. You can rest assured to practice in seclusion. The benefits that should belong to you will not be in vain. Even if a big monster attacks, unless it is a big monster that we can't resist, we will definitely not disturb your practice!" He Wei said with a smile.
Who wouldn’t like a companion like Li Yuanba, who doesn’t fight for power or interests but is very powerful?
After a brief exchange, the order on Zhenbei Island was back on track. Li Yuanba also found a place on Zhenbei Island and released the Wanjianfeng magic weapon.
