In the Jieshan Town Defense House, in front of Li Yuanba was the Wanjianfeng magic weapon, which had turned into five meters high.

He closed his eyes and practiced the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky Art'. Countless sword intentions flowed out from the Wanjian Peak magic weapon and lingered around him, coordinating with the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky Art' to enhance his sword intention.

In his body, a medicinal power spread and turned into strands of spiritual power, which flowed into the golden elixir through the transformation of the technique.

The medicinal power of the third-grade advanced elixir significantly increased the spiritual power in his golden elixir.

In recent months, his strength has been improving rapidly, and he does not need to worry about insufficient training resources.

With the communication channel with the original body Li Shiming, cultivation resources will be sent over every once in a while.

Of course, he also symbolically gave away some spiritual objects, which were his useless spoils of war, as well as the spiritual objects unique to the Ten Thousand Mountains that were given to him.

With sufficient training resources, his strength is in a period of rapid growth.

His position at the Jieshan Checkpoint has been consolidated due to several battles. Both the three Jindan elders from the Senluo Sect and the three Jindan elders from the righteous path will give him face.

He earned this face with his strength. Last time, he almost killed two Jindan elders of the righteous path.

It was precisely because he held back that the two Jindan elders of the righteous path accepted his favor, and the materials flowing through his channels had never encountered any difficulties.

After a round of 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky' practice, the medicinal power in his body was not consumed and would naturally enhance his physique.

If it were other Jindan cultivators, they would not waste the medicinal power like this. They would use secret methods to store this part of the medicinal power and save it for use in the next practice. Although there is not much medicinal power left, no matter how little it is, it is still the precious medicinal power of the third-grade high-level elixir.

Li Yuanba had a different idea. He believed that strengthening the physical fitness was also extremely important, and any waste of medicinal power would be a waste.

He waved at the Wanjianfeng magic weapon in front of him, and the Wanjianfeng magic weapon shrank and fell into his palm, and was put into his space ring.

Wan Jianfeng's magic weapon does not need to be fully released. The sword intent flowing out of it at its current five-meter-high state is enough for him to practice.

Everything else is fine in Jieshan City, except that it is not convenient to release the Wanjian Peak magic weapon into its complete form. There is not enough space for that in the city, and if it is placed outside the city, it will leave the formation of Jieshan City.

So he came up with this compromise, which did not delay his cultivation.

He stood up, with part of his mind remaining on the golden elixir. His sword was nourished by the golden elixir, and the nourishment speed under intentional control was much faster than the golden elixir's own nourishment speed.

Therefore, when he had nothing to do, he would usually devote part of his mind to the golden elixir.

In this regard, he was still extremely envious of the original body Li Shiming. The one hundred and ninety-one brains allowed Li Shiming to concentrate on many things at the same time.

However, when he was practicing the 'Sword Intent Soaring into the Sky', he was unable to release his mind and nourish his sword.

Of course, the effect of his current cultivation of Xing Yijian is very weak, mainly because Xing Yijian himself is already very strong. However, the matter of nourishing one's own flying sword requires constant effort.

The previous owner of the Xingyi Sword, Yun Xingyi, had been refining the sword for hundreds of years. With Li Yuanba's lifespan at the Jindan stage, his next refinement would be a continuation of Yun Xingyi's. With a very high starting point, perhaps hundreds of years later the power of the Xingyi Sword will be several times what it is now.

However, the improvement of the power of this kind of natal flying sword is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight. In the future, refining the natal flying sword will be his daily work.

In addition, he also had to find a way to get more 'Star White Gold', which was the main material of the Xing Yi Sword.

To improve the natal flying sword, it is also necessary to absorb the essence of the third-grade 'Star White Gold' to improve the basic strength of the natal flying sword itself.

Many Jindan cultivators will not make this expenditure, because improving the quality of the magic weapon by absorbing the essence of the main material of the magic weapon is to prepare for the magic weapon to break through its own grade.

If Jindan cultivators who are not sword practitioners can be promoted to Yuanying stage, they will choose to give up their original natal magic weapon.

Doing so will cause damage to one's own spirit, and at the same time all the efforts made in nurturing the natal magic weapon during the Jindan stage will be wasted. However, compared with the cost of upgrading the grade of the natal magic weapon at the cost of a large amount of the main materials of the natal magic weapon during the Jindan stage, the previous losses are nothing.

Therefore, most cultivators, when they reach the Nascent Soul stage, will choose to use fourth-grade materials to refine their own magic weapon.

But it is different for sword cultivators. The sword cultivator's natal flying sword has a huge impact on his combat power. If a sword cultivator loses his natal flying sword, his combat power will almost drop by more than half.

For example, when Li Yuanba uses the Xingyi Sword, the increase in sword intent from the Xingyi Sword alone is as much as 135% compared to when he doesn't use it. In other words, if he doesn't use the Xingyi Sword, most of the power of the sword intent will be lost.

Sword intent is the most important means of attack for sword cultivators besides spiritual power. It is also the foundation for sword cultivators to be able to break all attacks with one sword.

Therefore, even if a sword cultivator becomes a Nascent Soul cultivator, most of them will retain their natal flying sword from the Golden Core stage and use various methods to strengthen their natal flying sword, even if this method comes at a greater cost, they will still make this choice.

The main body Li Shiming has already considered the matter of 'Star White Gold'. 'Star White Gold' is extremely precious, and even for a master of alchemy, it is somewhat troublesome to obtain it.

For the alchemy master Li Shiming, the easiest things to obtain at present are third-grade spiritual tea, spiritual fruits, spiritual medicines, and some third-grade resource materials. However, the particularly precious parts of the third-grade resources need to be obtained through the Beishu Trading Company or the Shushan Sect.

However, there is a price to pay for obtaining precious resources from Beishu Trading Company and Shushan Sect.

Li Shiming was also waiting for an opportunity. When his realm was further improved and he was able to refine fourth-grade elixirs for his Nascent Soul ancestor, perhaps these third-grade precious resources could be easily obtained.

Li Yuanba was just planning to find Yue Xing to inquire about the recent situation in Jieshan City when a message came from his identity jade disc.

He read the message and found that Daoist brother Jiang Pu asked him to meet at the Jieshan checkpoint.

During the time in Jieshan City, he experienced the life of a normal Jindan cultivator.

There will be certain benefits in guarding Jieshan City every day. Daily practice will improve one's own strength, and from time to time, one will get together with several Jindan Daoists to exchange practice experiences.

In particular, the exchanges with fellow Jindan Daoists allowed his knowledge to be improved through repeated communication.

The three Jindan cultivators who participated in the gathering were all middle-stage Jindan cultivators, with hundreds of years of life experience, which was far beyond the reach of Li Yuanba.

He was not surprised by the invitation from Jiang Pu, as such invitations came every once in a while.

He sent a message to Yue Xing, telling him to go to the Jieshan Checkpoint.

The reason why the garrison mission of Jieshan City is a lucrative job is because the garrison affairs of Jieshan City are very easy. It is close to the Jieshan Checkpoint, where there are three mid-stage Jindan cultivators stationed.

If you want to cause trouble in Jieshan City, you have to take into account the threat of the three middle-stage Jindan cultivators at the Jieshan checkpoint.

The benefits of Jieshan City are extremely lucrative. Even if you are not greedy, you can still get a lot of resources. In addition, there is gray income from cooperating with the three Jindan elders at the Jieshan checkpoint. The task of guarding this place is a task that most of the monks from the sects are looking forward to.

Li Yuanba left Jieshan City. His flying speed was not fast. He was getting used to keeping a part of his mind on the golden elixir, always maintaining the nourishment of Xing Yijian.

Even though the flying speed was not fast, Jieshan City was not far from Jieshan Checkpoint, and it didn't take long to reach the Jieshan Checkpoint.

The formation had been open to him a long time ago, but he soon discovered that the gathering place was not inside the Boundary Mountain Checkpoint, but somewhere in the middle of the Boundary Mountain Checkpoint and the Orthodox Checkpoint, in the two-hundred-mile buffer zone.

"You all are very elegant!" Li Yuanba saw Jiang Pu. There were not only three middle-stage Jindan elders from the Senluo Sect, but also three Jindan elders from the righteous path.

"Junior Brother Li, come here quickly. Brother Ying got some spiritual deer meat from the sect and asked us to come over to share it!" Jiang Pu laughed and waved.

Li Yuanba looked towards the center of the Jindan elders, where some cut meat was placed, emitting a rich spiritual energy fluctuation.

He had heard of the spiritual deer, a spiritual beast raised by monks. The meat of the spiritual deer had a good effect on the monks' spiritual bodies. What's more, most importantly, the taste of the spiritual deer meat was unique.

Spiritual deer usually consume spiritual herbs, and mature spiritual deer are second-grade spiritual beasts.

Spiritual deer are extremely difficult to raise as they take too long to grow. It takes decades just to satisfy one's appetite. Apart from large sects that raise spiritual deer to entertain distinguished guests, no ordinary cultivator would raise spiritual deer.

"I am taking advantage of Brother Ying!" Li Yuanba said to Yinghou with a smile.

Ying Hou is a righteous Jindan, but the time they have been together, especially after that battle, has not only not affected the friendship between the two sides, but has made the connection between them closer.

If a monk saw what was happening here, he would probably be shocked.

The Jindan cultivators of both righteousness and evil sat together, laughing and talking freely like close friends.

After Li Yuanba sat down, he saw Jiang Pu pouring him a glass of third-grade spiritual wine. In addition to the spiritual deer meat, there were also several plates of third-grade spiritual fruits in front of him. He couldn't help but look at the expressions of the Jindan elders.

Not only did the three Jindan elders from the righteous path come to this gathering, but there were also many more hospitality items. In terms of value alone, it was enough for five or six gatherings.

You have to know that in normal gatherings, the Jindan elders would take turns to provide the hospitality items, but no one would take out so many hospitality items at once.

The hospitality in front of him was probably jointly provided by the six Jindan elders present, but he was not informed of the hospitality. There must be a reason for this.

However, he did not sense any evil intentions, so he pretended not to know and thanked Jiang Pu with a smile.

As in the past, there were more Jindan elders gathering this time, and they first exchanged their cultivation experiences.

Although due to the differences between righteous and evil techniques, as well as the restrictions of the sect, the Jindan elders were unable to discuss some secrets in depth, but every word from the Jindan elders would be more or less helpful to the Jindan elders present.

Especially for Li Yuanba, these experiences were of the greatest help to him.

Li Yuanba also talked about some experiences related to sword cultivation. He is a professional in this area, which attracted the attention of other Jindan elders.

When the atmosphere was at its most heated, Jiang Pu and Ying Hou looked at each other, secretly exchanged ideas and reached a consensus.

"Junior Brother Li, do you have any channels to get the elixir from Master Li of Shushan Sect?" Jiang Pu asked.

Li Yuanba was slightly startled. He saw that the other five Jindan elders all had inquiring looks in their eyes.

However, it is understandable that Jiang Pu and the other Jindan elders have such doubts. Through the channels of the Jieshan checkpoint, third-grade elixirs have been sent from the righteous side many times, and the jade bottle already has Li Shiming's mark.

Li Yuanba had no intention of hiding this matter. In the Northern Shu Continent, there were not many alchemy masters who could stably refine third-grade advanced elixirs. Among them, only Li Shiming had the largest alchemy volume. The third-grade elixir needed to be monitored by six Jindan elders and could not be hidden from the Jindan elders of both sides.

These six Jindan elders had not come to him until now, and he felt that the six Jindan elders had great patience.

"Although Master Li of the Shushan Sect and I have the same surname, we are not related!" Li Yuanba shook his head and said.

When he said this, the six Jindan elders all showed disappointment on their faces.

Regardless of whether what Li Yuanba said was true or not, they could hear the rejection in his words.

Given their equal status, it would be almost impossible to force Li Yuanba to do anything, so if Li Yuanba refused, their idea of ​​gaining benefits from it would not be realized.

“But I have a good friend on the righteous side who knows Master Li. I got Master Li’s elixir through that friend!” Li Yuanba saw the expressions of the Jindan elders and then smiled.

Jiang Pu's eyes lit up. Since Li Yuanba admitted that there was a relationship, they had hope of gaining benefits from it.

"Could you please ask your good friend to ask Master Li to make pills for us?" Jiang Pu asked anxiously.

Except for Li Yuanba, the other Jindan elders present were all in the middle Jindan stage and were all wealthy cultivators.

They also have a long-term cooperative alchemy master, and they previously asked the cooperative alchemy master to make their third-grade elixirs.

However, according to the news obtained from Shushan Sect and Beishu Trading Company, Li Shiming's alchemy level did not decline at all after his advancement to the Golden Core Stage. He was still able to produce a third-grade high-level elixir while refining the third-grade elixir of the middle-stage Golden Core Stage.

Compared with the alchemy masters cooperating with the six Jindan elders present, the third-grade high-level elixirs refined by Li Shiming are more effective, and the yield rate is even higher, which can almost guarantee that two third-grade high-level elixirs will be obtained from every portion of elixir.

The level of the alchemy masters they work with varies, and they may even fail to make an elixir when they are unlucky. In many cases, a portion of elixir can only get them a third-grade elixir, and the quality cannot be guaranteed.

"The most I can do is to get elixirs for the people present to take themselves. I cannot make elixirs for other cultivators. My good friend also needs to do favors!" Li Yuanba thought for a moment and replied.

"Of course. In addition to the fee paid by Master Li, we will reward you and your friend!" Jiang Pu said happily.
