Li Shiming sat on a huge flying boat magic weapon. This flying boat magic weapon was a public property of the Shushan Sect and was controlled by Ancestor Zuo.
In addition to Ancestor Zuo and him, there was also one of Ancestor Zuo's disciples and his senior sister Ye Jingxian on the huge flying boat magic weapon.
It was Elder Su's idea to bring Ye Jingxian along. All the cultivators who received the invitation this time can bring one person along.
Li Shiming himself has no descendants, and several other senior brothers have not even reached the Golden Core stage and are not qualified to go. Only Ye Jingxian, the senior sister who is in the early Golden Core stage, is barely qualified.
So he brought Ye Jingxian with him. The tall Ye Jingxian was very well behaved on the flying boat, not as carefree as usual.
Li Shiming smiled at her from time to time, and he understood why she behaved like that. With Old Ancestor Zuo around, she tried hard to restrain her temper.
"Shiming, have you encountered any trouble in your cultivation recently?" asked Patriarch Zuo with a smile.
Ancestor Zuo's question made the disciple standing beside him look envious.
Although the disciple that Patriarch Zuo brought with him this time was already a great elder-level cultivator, Patriarch Zuo had never spoken to him so cordially before.
"Ancestor Zuo, my cultivation is going quite smoothly, but the improvement of my cultivation level is a bit slow!" Li Shiming replied with a sigh.
His words immediately made the great elder and Ye Jingxian's eyes widen at the same time. They thought he was showing off.
Ye Jingxian's hundred years of practice had only put her at the initial stage of the Golden Core stage. After several years of hard work, she had acquired some combat power of the Golden Core stage.
Looking at Li Shiming who caught up later, he is now in the middle stage of the Golden Core, but he still complains about his own cultivation speed.
Although the great elder's realm was high, he had already spent more than three hundred years, and he only had one hundred years left to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
With Li Shiming's current cultivation speed, he might be able to reach the level of a great elder when he is over a hundred years old, and then he would have nearly four hundred years to break through the Nascent Soul stage.
But even so, Li Shiming still said that his cultivation speed was slow. How could they not be speechless?
Patriarch Zuo, however, saw the sincerity in what Li Shiming said. For a cultivator who had only been practicing for more than 20 years, he had been practicing in the middle stage of the Golden Core for six years, which could be considered a long time.
“Shiming, you also need to pay attention to your state of mind. You have been practicing for too short a time, and your cultivation level has improved too quickly, making you feel that practicing is too easy. This phenomenon can easily cause an unstable state of mind, leading to inner demons!” Ancestor Zuo said solemnly.
Li Shiming was shocked, but he quickly thought of his own heavenly ghost.
The Heavenly Ghost can even devour the inner demons of the Nascent Soul Patriarch. If he himself really develops inner demons, it would be even easier for the Heavenly Ghost to deal with it.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved, as if a huge stone had been lifted off his shoulders.
As his mind relaxed, he had some new insights into the five golden elixirs in his body. He sat down cross-legged without any hesitation, and dozens of mid-grade spirit stones were thrown beside him to form a small spirit gathering formation.
"Shiming's talent is really..." Ancestor Zuo looked at Li Shiming who suddenly made such a move, and shook his head with some emotion for a moment.
There was no good adjective to describe Li Shiming's talent, but one of his words actually triggered Li Shiming's epiphany.
He looked at his chief disciple again. The chief disciple was looking at Li Shiming with a blank look, and then looked at him.
"What a rotten wood!" Patriarch Zuo regretted taking this disciple with him.
The great elder's disciple, whom he had originally thought highly of, became a worthless piece of wood after being compared with Li Shiming.
He waved his hand, mobilizing the spiritual energy of the huge flying boat magic weapon to gather in the direction of Li Shiming. With the addition of the small spirit gathering formation set up by Li Shiming, the spiritual energy immediately filled up.
As for Li Shiming's ability to set up a spirit gathering formation with just dozens of mid-grade spirit stones, although this level of mastery of the formation surprised him, it did not shock him as much as Li Shiming's sudden enlightenment.
The reason why Li Shiming dared to practice on the spot was because Ancestor Zuo was there. If the place where Ancestor Yuanying was was not safe, then there would be no safe place in the world of immortal cultivation.
He wanted to be with Ancestor Zuo. After five years of training, he did feel a little impatient.
Although he suppressed his impatience, it was difficult to completely eliminate it once it arose.
But after Ancestor Zuo brought it up, Li Shiming paid attention to this aspect. When he thought of the ability of the Heavenly Ghost, his impatience disappeared and his state of mind improved.
In addition to practicing the exercises, the corresponding practice is to improve one's state of mind, which is sometimes more important.
The spiritual power within the five golden pills was extremely active, which accelerated the speed at which the spiritual power circulated in the body while practicing the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Technique'. Various spiritual powers accumulated in various parts of the body that had previously been unable to be mobilized were all included in the circulation of spiritual power during this practice.
The spiritual power accumulated in various parts of the body is the spiritual power that cannot be taken into account during normal practice.
When he gained new insights, he was able to mobilize the spiritual power very easily during practice, and he also had a feeling that the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Technique' was extremely perfect.
The spiritual power that entered the five golden pills increased rapidly, and the effect of cultivation during enlightenment was many times that of normal cultivation.
Li Shiming slowly opened his eyes. Dozens of middle-grade spirit stones beside him had turned into powder. He sensed that the spiritual energy of the huge flying boat magic weapon was gathering beside him.
This can only be Elder Zuo helping him so that his cultivation will not be affected by the spiritual energy.
He felt the situation inside his body and found that his realm had reached the middle stage of the middle Jindan period, jumping from one-third of the progress to one-half of the progress.
"Thank you, Ancestor Zuo!" Li Shiming bowed and saluted to Ancestor Zuo.
"No need to thank me, I just mentioned it!" Patriarch Zuo smiled and waved his hand to help Li Shiming up.
He did not treat Li Shiming as a junior, but treated him as an equal.
In fact, this change began subtly when Li Shiming was promoted to the middle stage of the Golden Core.
Everyone knows that it is inevitable for Li Shiming to be promoted to the late Jindan stage, and when Li Shiming is promoted to the late Jindan stage, he will be able to refine the fourth-grade elixir.
Any Jindan cultivator in the entire Beishu Continent can give a definite answer to Li Shiming's alchemy level: he is the number one alchemy master in the Beishu Continent.
And when Li Shiming is able to refine fourth-grade elixirs, it means that the Nascent Soul ancestors can enjoy fourth-grade high-level elixirs. The efficacy of a fourth-grade high-level elixir is several times that of a fourth-grade medium or low-level elixir.
Considering the preciousness of fourth-grade spiritual medicine, the gap between them is huge.
Although the Yuanying ancestors did not say it out loud, they all understood this in their hearts.
This invitation was a recognition by Senluo Sect’s Patriarch Lu and Patriarch Jian of Li Shiming’s status as a peer.
"Ancestor Zuo, I heard that you have spiritual spring water of extremely high quality. I wonder if you could take out some to share with me. I just happen to have some spiritual tea that needs to be brewed!" Li Shiming did not say any more words of thanks, he suggested with a smile.
"Haha, I've never had enough of your spiritual tea. I must drink more this time!" Old Ancestor Zuo said with a happy smile as he took out the spiritual spring water.
Li Shiming took out a set of third-grade tea sets. Seeing such luxurious tea sets, not only the Great Elder's disciples and Ye Jingxian widened their eyes, but even Patriarch Zuo shook his head and laughed.
Li Shiming would not explain that the three-grade tea set was his trophy, and he did not use the three-grade tea set to show how rich he was.
There is no need to show off his wealth. Any cultivator in the Northern Shu Continent who has heard of his name knows how wealthy he is.
It is too easy for a master alchemist who never fails, a master alchemist who is begged by all the Jindan monks to make elixirs, to obtain wealth.
Moreover, no monk would be jealous of this way of acquiring wealth, as acquiring wealth through one's own abilities is recognized by the monks.
He uses the third-grade tea set because this set of third-grade tea sets can maximize the spirituality of the third-grade spiritual tea.
He used the third-grade spiritual tea that he grew and roasted himself, and the best quality leaf tips, which he usually used for his daily enjoyment.
He skillfully brewed the third-grade spiritual tea, using the Red Sun Spirit Fire to heat it.
Patriarch Zuo watched Li Shiming making tea and nodded continuously. What he saw was Li Shiming constantly bringing out the fragrance and spirituality of the third-grade spiritual tea. Although this process was many times simpler than alchemy, it had the same effect as alchemy.
Li Shiming has a lot of free time nowadays. This means that a lot of his brain is idle, but in fact he is doing many things at the same time.
Take his daily life in Chijian Peak for example. He has eleven brains controlling eleven silver corpses to conduct research experiments in the underground factory space. He has one brain controlling another silver corpse to handle reception affairs and hand over elixirs and magic pills.
He also has one brain controlling the silver corpse Nanming's cultivation, one brain controlling the sky ghost to switch between the three living dead bodies for cultivation, and one brain keeping himself in the state of practicing the 'Gan Tian Sleeping Dream Technique'.
The rest include the practice of main and secondary techniques, as well as alchemy and refining of weapons.
He seems extremely busy, but for him who has 191 brains to control, he has a lot of idle brains every day.
This gave him time to think about many things, and how to brew the spiritual tea better was just one of the many things he thought about.
"Ancestor Zuo, please enjoy it!" Li Shiming said as he handed the first cup of spiritual tea to Ancestor Zuo.
Patriarch Zuo took the spiritual tea, sniffed it and a smile appeared on his face.
Li Shiming brought two cups of spiritual tea to the great elder's disciples and Ye Jingxian. Although they were juniors to Patriarch Zuo, they were peers to Li Shiming.
The last cup was his. He took a sip of the tea and felt the inspiration in it.
No matter how many times he drinks it, this magical tea brewed with nano-level control power always brings him an inexplicable sense of enjoyment.
Combined with the 'Gan Tian Sleeping Dream Technique', his mental state improved rapidly. However, compared with the improvement in physical training, the improvement in mental state was insignificant and not noticeable on him.
"I am so lucky to be able to taste the spiritual tea brewed by you personally. If there is a chance to get the fourth-grade spiritual tea leaves, I will definitely ask you to help me!" Ancestor Zuo came out of the spiritual tea inspiration and sighed.
"Thank you, Ancestor Zuo, for your continued help. Please take this box of spiritual tea!" Li Shiming said with a smile as he took out a jade box and handed it over.
Although he had some conflicts with the descendants of Ancestor Zuo, Ancestor Zuo was very nice to him and was a qualified senior.
He had long wanted to thank Ancestor Zuo, but it was difficult for him to meet him normally. This time he had the chance and he took the third-grade spiritual tea as a token of gratitude.
The amount of third-grade spiritual tea he gave out was not much, just two taels. However, the two taels of third-grade spiritual tea he roasted in the Northern Shu Continent was very precious.
This is related to his intention to reduce the sales of the third-grade spiritual tea. Apart from relying on connections to obtain it from him, it is not easy to obtain it through trading.
Patriarch Zuo smiled and put away the jade box. There was no need to be polite in this regard.
Li Shiming took out two smaller jade boxes and gave them to Ye Jingxian and the great elder's disciple respectively.
The great elder's disciple was a little surprised that Li Shiming actually gave him a copy as well.
"Since we are in the same industry, it can be said that we are destined to meet!" Li Shiming said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master Li!" The disciple of the Great Elder expressed his gratitude sincerely.
Ye Jingxian said nothing and happily took the jade box.
"Senior Sister, if you need anything in the future, just come to me. I am still your junior brother!" Li Shiming looked at Ye Jingxian seriously and said.
Ever since he was promoted to the Golden Core Stage, Ye Jingxian's visits to him have decreased significantly.
Especially after he was promoted to the middle stage of Golden Core, Ye Jingxian never came to Chijian Peak again.
"That's what you said. I have prepared a lot of elixirs and am waiting for you!" Ye Jingxian instantly returned to her usual state and smiled.
It wasn't that she didn't want to go to see Li Shiming for other reasons, but she felt embarrassed. As the eldest sister, she was weaker than her junior brother Li Shiming in realm, which made her embarrassed to see Li Shiming.
After being pointed out by Li Shiming today, she regained her former straightforwardness.
"Give me as much as you can. I won't charge you any money!" Li Shiming smiled happily when he saw that the senior sister was the same as usual.
The disciple of the great elder standing by was envious of Ye Jingxian this time. You know how great the benefits are to get a promise like this from Li Shiming.
But he had no idea that Li Shiming knew Ye Jingxian's character very well. Apart from Ye Jingxian's own elixir, Ye Jingxian would not send any to Li Shiming unless it was a relationship that she could not refuse.
The huge magic flying boat was flying in the sky. Li Shiming and Zuo Laozu made friends intentionally and deliberately, and the relationship between the two sides became more harmonious.
Even the disciple of the Great Elder joined Li Shiming's friend list, and Li Shiming knew his name, Wei Xi.
In the past, Wei Xi had been in a semi-secluded state in the sect, practicing hard without contacting the outside world, and had never had any dealings with Li Shiming.
Of course, even cultivators who have dealt with Li Shiming can rarely be included in Li Shiming’s friend list, which means they can jump the queue to refine pills at any time.
In a harmonious atmosphere, the huge flying boat magic weapon passed through the boundary mountain checkpoint.
