The pavilion on the top of Chijian Peak is where Li Shiming entertained guests.
Li Shiming sat in the main seat next to the stone table in the pavilion. This meeting was arranged by appointment, and it was also his first time out of seclusion after more than ten days of retreat.
With his current status, as long as the guest’s status is not too high, he doesn’t need to go out to greet him, even if he is a Jindan elder from a normal large sect.
A figure flew to the outside of the pavilion neither slowly nor hurriedly and landed there. This was a middle-aged Jindan cultivator, and the mark on his body said he was an elder of the Qianhuan Sect.
"Zhu Chang meets Master Li!" Zhu Chang behaved very respectfully. He bowed and saluted when they met, not treating himself as an equal at all.
In fact, he is a generation older than Li Shiming. Zhu Chang is a good friend of Master Luo of Qianhuan Sect, and Master Luo is Yin Shilan's master.
But in the world of immortal cultivation, unless it is a true master-disciple relationship, this kind of relationship will not be used at all.
However, it was precisely because of this relationship that Zhu Chang was qualified to meet Li Shiming.
"I still have to thank Senior Sister Luo. If it weren't for Senior Sister Luo, how could I have the opportunity to ask Master Li to make the elixir!"
This is not Zhu Chang speaking, but what Zhu Chang is thinking.
At this distance, although Zhu Chang was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core, his spirit was weaker than Li Shiming's, so his thoughts were sensed by Li Shiming's "telepathy".
It's not that telepathy cannot be turned off, but Li Shiming, who is just starting to learn telepathy, can't help but want to try out its effects.
"Master Li is so young!"
This was another idea of Zhu Chang. Obviously, Zhu Chang had no other ideas and his attitude towards Li Shiming was sincere.
The world of cultivating immortals is a world where strength is respected. Li Shiming's alchemy level is far beyond that of other alchemy masters. This alone makes all the Jindan cultivators highly admire him, and there are only a few who have a bad impression of Li Shiming in their hearts.
"Fellow Taoists, please sit down and talk first!" Li Shiming smiled and helped Zhu Chang up, then pointed to the stone bench next to him and said.
He poured Zhu Chang a cup of third-grade spiritual tea, which was the attitude for entertaining distinguished guests.
He knew from Zhu Chang's thoughts that Zhu Chang was extremely satisfied with his hospitality, and even wanted to give Yin Shilan some benefits after returning to Qianhuan Sect.
The two sides sat down to taste tea, and Zhu Chang praised the third-grade spiritual tea highly.
Li Shiming was so generous, on the one hand, because Yin Shilan was in Qianhuan Sect and still needed the care of his uncles and aunts like Zhu Chang, and on the other hand, he had a few more third-grade spiritual tea trees in his hands, plus the gifts from others, so third-grade spiritual tea was not something particularly precious to him.
"Fellow Taoists, are the elixirs ready?" After chatting for a while, Li Shiming got back to the point and asked.
Zhu Chang had been waiting for him to say this, but the previous chat with Li Shiming was the best opportunity to make friends with him. He had heard that most of the Jindan cultivators would just hand over the alchemy materials when they arrived here and would not even prepare spiritual tea.
"Master Li, the elixir is here!" Zhu Chang placed a storage bag in front of Li Shiming.
Li Shiming's spiritual sense entered the storage bag and saw three third-grade elixir materials used for mid-stage Jindan cultivation. In addition, there were three third-grade spiritual fruits and a small box of freshly picked third-grade spiritual tea leaves.
The third-grade spiritual fruits and spiritual tea are gifts in addition to the rewards, which can be considered an unspoken rule.
No cultivator would save this part of the effort. It is already very lucky to be able to ask Li Shiming for help. Look at the world of immortal cultivation, how many Jindan cultivators have no chance to meet Li Shiming. Even if they have resources in their hands, they cannot ask Li Shiming to make pills for them.
After Li Shiming was promoted to the Golden Core Stage, except for the large amount of pills he made at the beginning, he later reduced the intervals between pills making and would open a furnace almost every ten days or so.
Moreover, he rarely accepts alchemy business in the early stage of Jindan. He will only take orders for third-grade elixirs in the early stage of Jindan if they are from Beishu Trading Company.
The more this is the case, the more precious it is to ask Li Shiming to make the elixir.
It took Zhu Chang more than half a year to obtain these three elixirs, which he obtained with the help of Master Luo.
"My fellow Taoists, please rest outside the sect for two days. I will ask my followers to deliver the elixir after two days!" Li Shiming said after thinking for a while.
"Thank you, Master Li!" Zhu Chang bowed with surprise on his face.
Under normal circumstances, once the materials are delivered to Li Shiming, he has the final say on when to refine the elixir. Even if it takes ten days or half a month, that is normal.
Besides, he needs to open three furnaces to refine the elixir. According to Li Shiming's rules, it will take thirty days to complete the refining.
This was definitely a huge honor, and he would feel more at ease if he could get the elixir sooner.
Li Shiming smiled. This was not only a way to give face to Master Luo, but also a kind of compensation.
He used Zhu Chang to experiment with the effects of his telepathy. Although Zhu Chang didn't know about it, he still needed to give something in return.
After seeing Zhu Chang off, Li Shiming smiled and put the three alchemy materials into the computer room. A brain also started to make the elixir in the computer room.
His alchemy was not as troublesome as outsiders thought. He only had one magic furnace, so he could only open one furnace at a time.
He felt the five golden elixirs in his body. Due to the previous battle and the consumption of practicing "Nanming Lihuo", they had been replenished and even improved.
The 'Nanming Lihuo' was above the fire-attributed golden elixir, and its connection with the fire-attributed golden elixir was deepening, which forced him to reduce the use of the fire-attributed golden elixir.
Although he cannot practice it on his own because the 'Nanming Lihuo' technique requires too much spiritual power, as long as the 'Nanming Lihuo' is in his body, it will subtly strengthen the relationship with the fire-attributed golden elixir to achieve the effect of practicing the 'Nanming Lihuo' technique.
Although this effect is only one percent of the practice method, it can continuously enhance the power of his fire-attributed golden elixir.
Also due to the 'Five Elements Gas Gathering Array', when the power of the fire attribute golden elixir is enhanced, the power of the other four golden elixirs will also be enhanced through the conversion of spiritual power within the 'Five Elements Gas Gathering Array'.
"It seems that the matter of refining the magic weapon will have to be postponed for a while!" Li Shiming murmured to himself.
He obtained a lot of "Meteoric Gold Stone", enough to refine ten flying sword magic weapons.
If he had ten high-quality flying swords that he had made himself, with the power of his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15, his combat power would definitely be greatly enhanced.
But the prerequisite is that he needs to use the fire of the golden elixir to refine the weapon. The fire-attributed golden elixir flame is naturally the best flame for refining weapons. The most important one at present is the "Nanming Lihuo". His plan will be delayed.
He looked at the time and it was time for him to practice body training.
His body-refining technique is still the 'Vajra Body Protection Magic'. Although he has obtained the 'Kaishan Dominant Body Technique', the 'Vajra Body Protection Magic' is not much weaker than the 'Kaishan Dominant Body Technique'. The most important thing is that he has been practicing the 'Vajra Body Protection Magic' since the Qi Refining Stage, and with the blessing of the true meaning of the technique, the effect of practicing the 'Vajra Body Protection Magic' is far superior to other body-refining techniques.
He is already at the minor success stage of the Jindan chapter of the 'Vajra Body Protection Divine Art'. His body is much stronger than that of a Jindan early stage cultivator. After reaching minor success, his body is no weaker than that of a Jindan middle and late stage cultivator.
This is unimaginable. There is a huge gap between each realm in the Jindan period.
The problem is that his foundation is so deep that when he broke through the Golden Core stage, his body refining during the Foundation Establishment stage had reached the level of body refining in the early Golden Core stage.
Perhaps Li Shiming himself was the only one who did not have this feeling. The enemies he encountered were all extremely powerful, making him almost forget that he was still a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core.
In terms of body refining, Li Shiming was comparing himself with the great elder-level body refining golden elixir master whose defense could not be broken even by his full-strength attack. At this time, that person's body was in the computer room space.
Whenever I see that body, the achievements I have made in body training seem simply insignificant.
Today, Li Shiming was ready to speed up his physical training. He carefully took out a jade bottle and used his mind to bring out a drop of milky white liquid.
This drop of milky white spiritual energy fluctuated greatly. As soon as it appeared in the air, the whole room was filled with a rich fragrance. He just smelled the fragrance and felt his body getting hot.
The fourth-grade 'Tianluo Immortal Milk' is either given to the Yuanying ancestors to strengthen their bodies, or is used to help the great master of the body refining golden elixir in the secret base of Tianxing Commercial Bank to break through.
Now it fell into his hands, a total of twenty drops, he and his clone Li Yuanba each got ten drops.
He did not dare to let the fourth-grade 'Tianluo Immortal Milk' evaporate in the air for too long, and swallowed the 'Tianluo Immortal Milk' in one gulp.
A terrifying heat radiated from his abdomen to his entire body. His skin instantly turned red. His blood energy suddenly increased many times. A column of air formed by the heat from the blood in his body rose from his head.
He shouted loudly, and the true meaning of the angry Vajra appeared behind him, and the golden elixir chapter of the Vajra Body Protection Magic Art began to operate.
Every movement he makes will cause the sound of wind and thunder in his body, which is the sound of huge energy flowing in the body.
The energy provided by 'Tianluo Fairy Milk' to the body is pure body-refining energy, which can be directly refined by any body-refining technique and become nourishment for strengthening the body.
His body was like a greedy glutton, devouring the energy in the body. The devoured energy was transformed into Vajra Force by the "Vajra Body Protection Magic Skill", which enhanced his physique at an extremely fast speed.
To be honest, this fourth-grade 'Tianluo Immortal Milk' should not appear in the hands of an early Jindan cultivator, and should not even appear in the hands of a Jindan-stage cultivator.
Even if the Nascent Soul Patriarch knew about the fourth-grade body-refining treasure like 'Tianluo Fairy Milk', he would try to snatch it. Although the Nascent Soul Patriarch did not use his real body to fight, the strength of his real body was of great benefit to the effect of cultivation and the protection of the Nascent Soul.
Therefore, the Yuanying Ancestor also attaches great importance to strengthening the body.
At the level of the Nascent Soul Patriarch, it is not easy to strengthen the body, and there are very few spiritual objects that can be effective.
In other words, Li Shiming's physical training foundation is extremely strong, otherwise a drop of fourth-grade 'Tianluo Immortal Milk' would probably burst his body.
This time, it took six hours to practice the 'Vajra Body Protection Magic', and only then was the energy of a drop of fourth-grade 'Tianluo Fairy Milk' fully utilized.
After stopping the 'Vajra Body Protection Magic', Li Shiming felt extremely powerful. Although he was still far from the body refining level of a great elder-level cultivator, he was sure that his current body was at least comparable to that of a normal late Jindan cultivator.
With his body refining ability, he can engage in close combat with a late Jindan cultivator while holding a long sword magic weapon.
This is extremely important to him. With his magical power of 'lotus blooming with every step', once he has the strength to fight head-on and close combat with a Jindan late stage cultivator, he can easily kill the Jindan late stage cultivator.
In the past, when he fought against late Jindan cultivators, it seemed extremely easy, but that was based on the power of thunder magic. He used the ability of his life treasure IBMz15 and simultaneously activated many third-grade thunder spells, which was equivalent to many thunder magics being used at the same time, making it easy to defeat late Jindan cultivators.
But now he can fight against late Jindan cultivators simply by relying on his body refining ability. 'Lotus Steps' can achieve close combat regardless of distance. His life-saving magic weapon IBMz15 can help him analyze the enemy's reaction and turn the battle directly into close combat, giving him the greatest advantage.
This is just one drop of the fourth-grade 'Tianluo Immortal Milk', but it has such an effect. Once he takes all ten drops of 'Tianluo Immortal Milk', what will happen to his body refining strength?
Li Shiming was excited, but he also understood that it was because this was the first time he took the 'Tianluo Fairy Milk' that he had such an improvement. The effect of taking the 'Tianluo Fairy Milk' next time would be weaker.
He casually performed a cleansing spell, and the sweat that had come out of his body during the practice was removed.
He walked into the underground factory. Unlike usual, there were seven figures busy working in the factory and multiple machines were running.
These seven figures are seven silver corpses. After the strength of the corpse refining reaches the level of silver corpse, the flexibility of the body has been greatly improved, and they can make slight manipulations accurately.
Li Shiming used seven brains to control seven silver corpses respectively, to conduct technological research and development in the underground factory on his behalf.
The silver corpse with three heads and six arms did not become smarter just because it had two more heads. Everything still needed to be controlled by Li Shiming and his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15.
The silver corpses also have divine thoughts. One silver corpse can control the machines in an area through divine thoughts. The role played by seven silver corpses is equivalent to that of seven researchers with Jindan cultivation level.
Especially under the command of the natal magic weapon IBMz15, every action is purposeful and there is no unnecessary operation.
Due to the large amount of consumption before, Li Shiming's accumulated explosives were almost used up, and he also had more ideas about the effectiveness of artillery in actual use.
"We should find a time to promote all the other iron corpses, but we need to report to the sect!" Li Shiming said with satisfaction as he looked at the work of the silver corpse.
With Silver Corpse as his assistant, he probably won't have to come to the underground factory in person.
But the underground factory is too large and seven silver corpses are not enough.
Anyway, the previous six consecutive iron corpses were successfully promoted. With this probability, the promotion of Nezha, Juetu, and the other four iron corpses should not be a problem.
It’s just that the sect needs to be informed of this situation of continuously inciting thunder, otherwise it might cause some unnecessary trouble.
