Li Shiming lived the life of an ordinary mortal. Except for the practice time every night, he was no different from an ordinary mortal.
Ever since the royal guards had been guarding outside the ancestral home, no outsiders had come to disturb it.
And with Li Shiming, the spiritual plant master, there is basically no need to buy ordinary green vegetables outside. The vegetables he cultivates have greatly improved the health of everyone in the family.
The task of refining the four elixirs was not troublesome at all. He only took two days to complete the refining of four third-grade elixirs of the late Jindan stage.
However, he did not spread the news that he had refined the third-grade advanced elixir, but waited two months for the shopkeeper Jing Mo to come and get it himself.
There was no difficulty in refining the third-grade elixir of the late Jindan period, probably because of his lifelong magic weapon IBMz15. He felt that refining the third-grade elixir of the late Jindan period was not much different from the previous elixir refining. The only difference was that it took a little longer.
When making the elixir, he used the 'One Hundred and One Points Elixir Technique' and still obtained double the amount of elixir.
Each batch of elixir actually produced six third-grade high-level elixirs. He got four, and the party that provided the elixir got two. In addition, the other party that provided the elixir also had to pay him a certain amount of compensation.
These rewards are mostly third-grade spiritual objects, or valuable jade slips, etc.
From this we can see how much the alchemy master Li Shiming has gained, but this is not a common phenomenon among alchemy masters.
There is a certain failure rate for most alchemy masters when they try to refine third-grade elixirs in the late stage of the golden elixir. Even if they succeed, it is difficult to produce a full number of elixirs, that is, three third-grade elixirs, not to mention ensuring the quality of the third-grade elixir.
Why was the shopkeeper Jing Mo so excited when he knew that Li Shiming had been promoted to the middle stage of the Golden Core? It was because when Li Shiming made the elixir, the cultivator who provided the elixir would earn several times more than if he had found other alchemy masters.
Of course, Li Shiming would not tell anyone the actual number of pills he had produced.
In the understanding of cultivators, the elixir-making techniques such as "One Hundred and One Points Elixir Technique" are all luck-related techniques.
Father Li Wenyuan was a little sleepy today and fell asleep early at noon. Li Shiming was sitting on a rocking chair in the yard, his mind exploring the space ring he got from Great Elder Fan Xi.
He didn't take this space ring seriously and threw it into the computer room.
Not only this space ring, but also Bo Ran and Bo Zhao's space bracelets were thrown into the computer room without being checked.
The truth is that Li Shiming had long lost interest in other cultivators' space items, and the spiritual objects that could attract his attention were most likely fourth-grade spiritual objects.
He was in a good mood today, and thinking of the spoils in the computer room, he decided to take a look.
The magic weapons used by Great Elder Fan Xi were all top-grade ones. He only had two magic weapons, a flying sword and a protective tortoise shell, which seemed a bit shabby.
However, when he saw a jade box covered with talismans in the space ring, he understood why Great Elder Fan Xi was so poor.
Because most of Great Elder Fan Xi's wealth was exchanged for the elixir in this jade box.
When he opened the jade box, he saw a lotus with seven petals, and the lotus looked like jade all over.
"Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus!" Li Shiming sat up straight in his rocking chair and muttered to himself in disbelief.
'Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus' is one of the auxiliary elixirs for advancement to the Nascent Soul stage, which can increase the chance of condensing into the Nascent Soul stage by 10%.
This probability is a common understanding in the world of immortal cultivation, so the 'Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus' is extremely precious and particularly sought after.
What surprised Li Shiming was how Elder Fan Xi, a Jindan cultivator from a sect like Mingxin Sect, got this 'Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus'.
Even his master, Elder Su, was still working hard to obtain the sect's Infant Formation resources. Even if he obtained the Infant Formation resources, it was hard to say whether there were elixirs of the same quality as the 'Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus' among them.
What he didn't know was that this 'Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus' was accidentally obtained by the Mingxin Sect many years ago, and had been kept in the sect's treasury, collected by Patriarch Zang.
Because Patriarch Zang was about to die, he handed the 'Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus' to Great Elder Fan Xi for safekeeping. Of course, he also planned to use the 'Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus' when Great Elder Fan Xi had the opportunity to be promoted.
Who would have known that this treasure fell into the hands of Li Shiming.
Even the leader of the Mingxin Sect did not know about this matter. Even if he knew about it at the time, he would be powerless to do anything.
Li Shiming put the 'Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus' together with the 'Red Infant Ginseng Fruit' he had obtained before. In terms of elixirs for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, he had obtained two.
Considering the rarity and preciousness of the spiritual medicines that can help one advance to the Nascent Soul stage, many cultivators would dare to try to break through as long as they can obtain one of them.
Li Shiming showed a look of satisfaction. He looked at Bo Ran and Bo Zhao's space bracelets again. As expected, there was nothing in them that he liked.
However, after seeing some low-level cultivation resources in Bo Zhao's space bracelet, he thought of something.
If there is a cultivator with spiritual roots in the family in the future, he, as a senior, will also leave some resources. Anyway, these resources are nothing to him.
What other cultivators worry about most is that leaving resources in the mortal world will bring disaster to future generations, but he doesn't need to worry about that.
Because there is a silver corpse in the family's ancestral home, it can protect the family.
He took out some useless things from Bo Zhao's space bracelet, added a few jade slips and some low-level elixirs, and then handed the space bracelet to Yin Shi Sha Sheng.
Every few years, the Silver Corpse would use his divine sense to scan the old house. After discovering the spiritual root seeds, he would hand over a small amount of resources to the spiritual root seeds and guide the spiritual root seeds into getting started.
Only when the corpse refining reaches the silver corpse level and can use divine thoughts can it have this ability.
Li Shiming also found Li Shijie and told him about this matter. Shijie passed the matter down and brought all descendants to the old house at a fixed time every few years.
As for which sect the younger generation would choose to join after obtaining the resources, he would not ask.
"A Jindan cultivator actually came to see us?" Li Shiming, who was sitting in a rocking chair, suddenly looked up at the sky, his eyes flashing.
Jindan monks have too much influence on mortals and rarely appear in the mortal world.
Needless to say, this Jindan cultivator came to find him, but he didn't know which force this Jindan cultivator was from, and he actually knew his location.
The Mingxin Sect was unlikely to disturb him. Although on the surface his feud with the Mingxin Sect had been resolved, he and the Mingxin Sect did not get along well, and hatred between them had already been formed.
The Mingxin Sect has seen his strength, and no Jindan cultivator should dare to come here again.
As for the Beishu Trading Company, the chief manager Jing Mo is the only cultivator who can contact him.
As he thought about it, his figure disappeared and flew into the air.
In the air, he met an acquaintance. He recognized the person. He was Yu Gu, the former leader of Tianhai Sect.
Yu Gu, who was in the late stage of foundation building, is now in the early stage of golden elixir.
However, the leader of Tianhai Sect is different from the leader of Mingxin Sect. Mingxin Sect has many important decisions to make due to the invasion, so the leader is the most powerful Jindan cultivator in the sect.
The Tianhai Sect had enjoyed peace for ten thousand years, and the Jindan cultivators were the sect's top fighting force. The Jindan cultivators seldom interfered in the sect's affairs, leaving everything to the foundation-building cultivators to handle.
Therefore, the leader of Tianhai Sect at that time was only Yu Gu, who was in the late stage of foundation building, and his power was far less than that of the top few people in Tianhai Sect.
Li Shiming looked at Yu Gu. The aura of Yu Gu was completely different from that of the past.
Yu Gu was very friendly back then, but now he has a stern aura and a murderous look.
"Fellow Daoist Li, it's been a long time since we last met. Your demeanor is truly impressive!" Yu Gu seemed to have not laughed for a long time, and his smile was a little stiff.
"Master Yu, congratulations on your promotion to the Golden Elixir realm!" Li Shiming said with a smile.
"Golden elixir!" Yu Gu said to himself with a bitter smile, and then he explained: "My golden elixir was forcibly pulled up by the spiritual elixir. There is no hope of promotion in this life!"
After saying this, he looked at Li Shiming with some envy, sensing the aura of Li Shiming in the middle stage of the Golden Core.
The Li Shiming in front of him was just a Qi-refining cultivator at first, but the current Li Shiming's realm is already higher than his. More importantly, Li Shiming's future is bright.
"I wonder what brings you here, Master Yu?" Li Shiming didn't want to discuss the matter anymore, so he changed the subject and asked.
"The Tianhai Sect has long since disappeared. Fellow Daoist Li doesn't need to call me the head of the sect. Just call me Fellow Daoist Yu!" Yu Gu shook his head and said, "I heard that Fellow Daoist Li had a conflict with the Mingxin Sect not long ago, causing the Mingxin Sect to suffer a lot of losses?"
He seemed to be seeking confirmation. In fact, he was able to find this place, so of course he got accurate information.
The reason why we were able to find this place is that Li Shiming was originally a disciple of Tianhai Sect, and Tianhai Sect had relatively detailed information about Li Shiming.
Yu Gu was the head of the Tianhai Sect, and when the Tianhai Sect's mountain gate was breached, this information was kept by him.
After hearing about Li Shiming's current strength and the conflict with the Mingxin Sect, he immediately came over.
"It's just a small conflict, and it has been resolved!" Li Shiming replied calmly.
"Fellow Daoist Li, no matter what, you are born in the Tianhai Sect. Now that you have the ability to avenge the Tianhai Sect, please join us in dealing with the Mingxin Sect!" Yu Gu stared at Li Shiming and asked.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, not to mention that the Tianhai Sect retreated voluntarily and gave up the mountain gate without even resisting, but when the sect retreated, no cultivator notified me, leaving me alone to face the Mingxin Sect cultivators led by Patriarch Zang. If I didn't have some tricks up my sleeve, I might have been killed by the Mingxin Sect!" Li Shiming thought of what happened back then and refuted in a heavy voice.
He never told anyone about this, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care.
At the beginning, he was just a Qi-refining cultivator. The entire sect retreated, but no cultivator informed him of the sect's retreat.
In other words, he felt a sense of urgency at the time, so he built a rocket and escaped at the speed of the rocket.
Even if he used the rocket to escape, it was still dangerous along the way. He faced fourth-grade sea beasts in the sea. The Mingxin Sect was one aspect of this, but the main responsibility lay with the Tianhai Sect.
"Fellow Daoist Li, the evacuation was a bit urgent at the beginning, and perhaps there was some negligence, but you have to believe that the sect did not intend to leave any disciples behind!" Yu Gu tried to explain.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, I am no longer a disciple of the Tianhai Sect. I have joined other sects. You don't need to come to me about your conflicts with the Mingxin Sect!" Li Shiming rejected Yu Gu very firmly.
"Fellow Daoist Li, it was the Tianhai Sect that trained you and brought you in. Even if you have joined another sect now, you should avenge the Tianhai Sect!" Yu Gu suppressed his emotions and said in a deep voice.
"Go away!" Li Shiming shook his head and said.
He didn't want to say anything more. It was obvious that Yu Gu was obsessed with revenge.
Yu Gu actually wanted to bind him with emotions. Seeing that Elder Yin had left, it was obvious that the Tianhai Sect had long lost its cohesion.
"You can't be ungrateful!" Yu Gu shouted somewhat out of control.
His aura exploded, and the terrifying golden elixir aura was about to gush out and rush downwards.
At this moment, a silver light appeared, blocking all the golden elixir aura, and rushed upward towards Yu Gu.
Yu Gu was about to make a move when he felt a murderous intent that chilled his bones. This was a murderous intent that was almost condensed into substance, and it made his body stiffen all of a sudden.
Then he felt a large, cold hand grabbing his neck, and terrifying murderous intent and icy spiritual power surged into his body.
"Kill him, spare his life and throw him out!" Li Shiming stopped the silver corpse from killing and ordered.
At the ancestral home, any cultivator who dares to do anything threatening to the home will be attacked by the silver corpse.
Although Silver Corpse Killing is not particularly powerful among all his silver corpses, the predecessor of Silver Corpse Killing was Juetu, who was trained by Qianye Temple to become a Buddha through killing. After being promoted to Silver Corpse, he retained the murderous intent, and the murderous intent combined with the cold spiritual power made the power of the murderous intent even greater.
Li Shiming believed that the Silver Corpse's killing power could be compared with that of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator. This mid-stage Jindan was not an ordinary mid-stage Jindan, but a mid-stage Jindan from a large sect.
A Jindan like Yu Gu, who came from the Tianhai Sect and whose Jindan was forcibly improved by using elixirs, is not as good as the Jindan cultivators from small sects in the Northern Shu Continent.
That's why he was so helpless when faced with the killing of the Silver Corpse, and was defeated without even the strength to fight back.
Yu Gu regained consciousness from his near-death experience. Feeling the large hand on his neck, he finally saw clearly what was attacking him.
A silver corpse, just a silver corpse defeated him, and Li Shiming didn't even make a move.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, don't come here again. This time I am here, so I will hold back when killing you. Otherwise, you would have been a pile of dry bones!" Li Shiming's cold voice echoed in Yu Gu's ears.
Li Shiming shook his head. If it weren't for the friendship they had in the past, he would have killed Yu Gu long ago.
He hated it most when others used friendship to threaten him. As a monk, no one could stop him from doing what he was willing to do, and no one could force him to do what he didn't want to do.
What's more, he said "ungrateful". He never saw Tianhai Sect resist with all its might when Mingxin Sect invaded. Tianhai Sect did not take revenge when it was at its most powerful. Instead, it asked him, a disciple who had only stayed in Tianhai Sect for a few years, to take revenge.
