The twelve silver corpses were divided into two formations. When they appeared, they were distributed around the battlefield, surrounding the entire battlefield.
Li Shiming smiled at the Great Elder Lan Hongxi, then stepped back and disappeared into the formation.
Of course, this disappearance only targeted Great Elder Lan Hongxi; the monks watching the battle outside could still see him.
The six silver corpses moved a distance towards the inner circle, maintaining the formation. Then another six silver corpses also moved towards the inner circle, exceeding the distance of the previous six silver corpses, also maintaining the formation.
Elder Lan Hongxi wanted to use her charm, but there were silver corpses all in front of her. No matter how charming she was, it was just a waste of effort to wink at a blind man.
She had more than just this trick. A red silk magic weapon about ten feet long appeared beside her. The red silk magic weapon was flying, and a powerful spiritual power attacked the formation.
But something unexpected happened. The powerful attack she launched was like a drop in the ocean, without a single sound.
With the strength of Great Elder Lan Hongxi, he would not take even twelve late-stage silver corpses, let alone twelve mid-stage silver corpses, seriously.
But the situation on the battlefield was different. It would be more accurate to say that she was fighting against Li Shiming, the master of formations, rather than twelve mid-stage silver corpses.
Being in the formation set up by Li Shiming using twelve silver corpses, especially with Li Shiming controlling it beside him, the power of the formation set up by the twelve silver corpses that Great Elder Lan Hongxi faces will be increased many times.
Li Shiming did not want to reveal much of his combat power, and he would not take out flying sword magic weapons such as "Flowing Light and Falling Stars" to fight. The fact that he had refined a magic weapon that triggered a weapon catastrophe had been sealed up in the sect, and he did not want to be exposed again in front of the Nascent Soul ancestors.
Besides, although Great Elder Lan Hongxi is quite powerful, his strongest point is not his attack, but his influence on the spiritual level.
This kind of spiritual influence is limited. Just like now, facing the silver corpse that has no perception at all, the charm secret method of Elder Lan Hongxi is of no use at all.
This is the restraint at the level of martial arts. Li Shiming has dealt with the cultivators of Yin Yang Sect before, so he naturally knows the details of the sect's martial arts. When he was challenged by the great elder Lan Hongxi, he had already thought of a way to deal with it.
"Master Li's level of formation is very high. Using silver corpses to form a formation to deal with the enemy is simply a genius idea!" Patriarch Lu laughed.
Seeing Master Li summoning so many silver corpses, it can be seen that Master Li has no prejudice against the magic cultivators. This is exactly what Patriarch Lu, who came from the Demon Sect, wants to see.
No one wants Master Li to be an alchemy master with an overwhelming sense of justice, because if that were the case, it would be difficult for the evil cultivators to come to him for help.
"Master Li is usually busy refining pills, so cultivating some silver corpses to fight the enemy is indeed a good choice!" Patriarch Zhan of Qianhuan Sect continued.
Master Li is the son-in-law of Qianhuan Sect, so naturally he has to speak for them. Besides, how could he possibly offend Master Li in such an occasion? Do he really not want to ask Master Li to make pills for him in the future?
"Yes!" The other Nascent Soul ancestors nodded in agreement.
Although we have not seen Master Li's true fighting ability, one thing is certain, Master Li must be extremely wealthy.
Otherwise, how could one have the financial resources to refine so many silver corpses? These are not silver corpses at all; they are just mountains of gold made from third-grade corpse refining materials.
Even the Jindan elders of a large sect would have no more than three silver corpses at most, and would usually only train one silver corpse, because if they wanted quantity they would not be able to guarantee the strength of the silver corpse.
But looking at Li Shiming's silver corpses, each one maintains the same realm as its master, and it can be seen that each silver corpse is selected according to the best corpse.
At his age, it is impossible for him to have the time to get so many good corpses for refining.
Only by exchanging a large amount of resources can it be possible to collect so many top-notch corpses.
How could they know that Li Shiming obtained a bunch of refined corpses after killing Elder Lu of Senluo Sect, and after cultivating them, they reached the current scale. He did not actually refine many corpses by himself.
The battle continued, and Elder Lan Hongxi continued to launch attacks, trying to break through the silver corpse's formation.
But no matter how she attacked, the silver corpse could dissolve her attack by just waving the third-grade formation flag in his hand slightly.
The silver corpses were still moving inward in batches, leaving Great Elder Lan Hongxi with less and less space to move around.
Great Elder Lan Hongxi tried many methods, even using poison, but it had no effect on the silver corpse.
Obviously, the strength of a single mid-stage silver corpse was nothing, but the chemical reaction produced by twelve mid-stage silver corpses plus Li Shiming's command made even a great elder helpless.
Finally, as the mid-stage silver corpse pushed the formation inward, Great Elder Lan Hongxi was covered by the formation.
Great Elder Lan Hongxi only felt a flash before her eyes, her vision, consciousness, and hearing were all confused by the formation. She could only use all her strength to activate the red silk to protect her whole body.
At this time, the Nascent Soul ancestors who were watching the battle showed smiles on their faces, of course, except for Ancestor Lan Weiyan.
Because Li Shiming stood at the edge of the battlefield and had already withdrawn from the battle, the battle was entirely carried out by Great Elder Lan Hongxi and the twelve silver corpses.
Li Shiming is more like a bystander than a participant.
Great Elder Lan Hongxi didn't know this and was still driving the Hong Ling magic weapon. Her spirit was very strong and she determined that she was confused by the formation, so she wanted to delay time.
This competition cannot continue forever. The Yuanying Patriarch's time is precious. Once the battle reaches a stalemate, the competition will stop.
Li Shiming's mind moved slightly, and the formation formed by the twelve silver corpses suddenly changed.
The previous formation of twelve silver corpses used the twelve silver corpses as the formation nodes, and the twelve silver corpses were the energy source of the formation.
The change in the formation at this time was to turn Great Elder Lan Hongxi into a formation node.
This kind of operation cannot be performed by any other formation master, because it requires ultimate mastery and control of the spiritual power circuit.
What needs to be mastered and controlled is not just the twelve silver corpses, but also the ultimate mastery and control of the spiritual power lines of the great elder Lan Hongxi.
But when Great Elder Lan Hongxi stopped attacking the silver corpse and focused on driving the Hong Ling magic weapon for defense, her spiritual power lines changed less, which was discovered and utilized by Li Shiming's "Divine Eyes".
Sixty-eight third-grade formation flags were connected to the spiritual power lines of Great Elder Lan Hongxi, guiding his spiritual power into the formation.
In just a moment, Great Elder Lan Hongxi felt that the spiritual power he had injected into the Hong Ling magic weapon was suddenly empty, and the spiritual power was uncontrollably drawn to other places.
Just as she was about to try to regain control, a large silver foot kicked the Hong Ling magic weapon, causing it to fly aside after having lost most of its spiritual power, and also preventing her from immediately regaining control.
After that, more silver feet kicked over. These silver feet were hidden in the formation, and every attack made it difficult for her to understand and judge.
She was hit by a blow from a mid-stage silver corpse. With her great elder's defense, even if she lost the defense of the Hongling magic weapon, it could not cause any harm to her.
But this was a kick controlled by Li Shiming, attacking the node of her spiritual power circuit. This attack made her spiritual power unstable, and her body-protecting spiritual power could not play a defensive role.
After the spiritual defense disappeared, continuous silver big foot attacks came.
Great Elder Lan Hongxi felt like a sandbag, being hit constantly.
The most annoying thing was that the attacking mid-stage silver corpse was too weak and could only hurt her skin but could not harm her body.
Being attacked by a weak person like this made Great Elder Lan Hongxi feel even more humiliated.
The Yuanying ancestors who were watching the battle didn't know what to say. Twelve silver corpses were attacking Great Elder Lan Hongxi. The silver corpses didn't care about any beauties, let alone the charming appearance and means of this female cultivator.
The twelve silver corpses continued to hit the Great Elder Lan Hongxi. Every hit would disperse her spiritual power, making it impossible for her spiritual power to condense.
"Hongxi admits defeat!" Ancestor Lan Weiyan didn't want to see her daughter being humiliated like this again, so she quickly admitted defeat.
She was worried that if she didn't admit defeat, she would suffer psychological trauma and would never be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Li Shiming waved his hand, and the twelve silver corpses disappeared.
After the twelve silver corpses disappeared, the formation also disappeared, revealing the figure of Great Elder Lan Hongxi.
At this time, the Great Elder Lan Hongxi's face was bruised and slightly swollen, no longer as beautiful as before.
Elder Lan Weiyan glanced at Li Shiming but didn't say anything. She didn't want to become enemies with Li Shiming because of this matter.
"Ahem, Master Li, I'm afraid that only you can perform this kind of fighting style!" Elder Ling Xueling coughed twice and said, not knowing how to comment.
What she was talking about was not only the training of the silver corpse, but also the control of the formation and the observation of the battle.
The battle between Li Shiming and Great Elder Lan Hongxi just now seemed ordinary, but there were too many things involved.
Just as Elder Ling Xueling said, other cultivators simply cannot replicate this fighting style.
First of all, one must have enough wealth to be able to refine twelve silver corpses and a sufficient number of third-grade formation flags.
Secondly, one’s formation ability must reach the level of a formation master before one can control the twelve silver corpses to form a formation.
Finally, one must have a strong fighting instinct. Elder Ling Xueling did not know that Li Shiming had mastered the 'Divine Eyes' and had the assistance of his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15. She regarded the battle in which Li Shiming controlled the twelve silver corpses to break through the defense of Elder Lan Hongxi as a fighting instinct.
"Shi Ming, it turns out your silver corpse is so powerful!" said Old Ancestor Zuo with a smile.
The entire Shushan Sect knew that Li Shiming had many silver corpses in his hands, but because he was a master of alchemy, no cultivator said anything.
It was not until today that I truly realized how terrifying the Silver Corpse was in Li Shiming's hands. Li Shiming defeated the Great Elder without taking any action, relying only on the Silver Corpse.
The performance of Li Yuanba and Li Shiming made the subsequent battle look tense, but in fact it could no longer arouse the interest of the Nascent Soul ancestors.
After there was no more great elders to discuss, the party entered free time.
The eight Nascent Soul ancestors and Li Shiming sat down together to taste the spiritual fruits, spiritual wine and spiritual tea prepared by the Senluo Sect. As for the younger generations, they were communicating on the other side.
"I have a bottle of fourth-grade demon pill here, and I want to exchange it for fourth-grade gold-attribute refining materials!" Patriarch Lu said as he took out a jade bottle.
"A fourth-grade demon pill, this kind of good thing is rare, and you are willing to take it out. This is to find materials for your sword friend's natal magic weapon, right?" Ancestor Zuo said with a smile.
Li Shiming's heart moved. The fourth-grade demon pill was equivalent to that produced by a spirit beast in the Nascent Soul stage, but he didn't know where it came from.
"We have finally produced a sword cultivator's Nascent Soul, but the stock in the sect is insufficient, so we would like to ask for your help!" Patriarch Lu said straightforwardly with a smile.
Of course, none of the Nascent Soul ancestors present would really believe what Ancestor Lu said. Perhaps some of it was true, but they should never believe it all.
The accumulation of a large sect with a history of more than ten thousand years is extremely terrifying.
Maybe we can’t get fourth-grade elixir, but we will have plenty of fourth-grade materials.
However, it is a bit difficult to find fourth-grade materials that are completely suitable for oneself.
"I have a piece of fourth-grade metal here. I wonder if it meets the requirements?" Ancestor Lou Song of the Disha Sect took out a jade box, slightly opened a gap and asked Ancestor Jian.
The other Nascent Soul ancestors knew the rules, and no one went out of their way to sense the spiritual object in the jade box.
Only Ancestor Jian sensed the fourth-grade metal in the jade box. He frowned and finally shook his head helplessly.
Patriarch Lou Song was not surprised at all. He put the jade box away.
Patriarch Lu looked at the other Nascent Soul ancestors again, and no one of them spoke, which made Patriarch Lu look disappointed.
In fact, this situation is not surprising. In the Northern Shu Continent, the chances of the Nascent Soul Patriarch finding fourth-grade refining materials that suit himself are slim.
But the situation of Ancestor Jian is different. He only has one magic weapon, which is his natal magic weapon, the flying sword.
Other Nascent Soul ancestors can first choose a fourth-grade magic weapon in the sect to use, and slowly wait for the appearance of fourth-grade refining materials that suit themselves.
But Ancestor Jian cannot wait. Without suitable fourth-grade refining materials, he will never be able to form real combat power.
Next, each Nascent Soul Patriarch took out some trading items, all of which were fourth-grade resources. Some transactions were successful, but most of them were not concluded.
In the Northern Shu Continent, the circle of Nascent Soul ancestors is too small, and it is difficult to gather all of them together.
It was extremely rare to be able to gather eight Nascent Soul ancestors this time. It just so happened that the foreign Nascent Soul ancestor of Tianxing Trading Company came, so one of the Nascent Soul ancestors of the six major sects must be in charge. Otherwise, even if Ancestor Jian was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, it would take an unknown amount of time to organize such a gathering.
Although the eight Nascent Soul ancestors brought Li Shiming to participate in the event, they did not have any expectations of Li Shiming in terms of fourth-grade resources.
Although Li Shiming had a fourth-grade spiritual object in his hand, he did not dare to take it out. The fourth-grade spiritual objects were obtained from the hands of the fake infant and the Nascent Soul ancestors. If other people knew about it, there would be great trouble.
