"Shiming, you're out of seclusion!" Elder Su looked at his disciple with a smile on his face.
The aura of Li Shiming is already close to the level of his master.
He did not ask Li Shiming about the howl just now. Since Li Shiming did not mention it on his own initiative, it was Li Shiming's secret.
"Master, I felt something while practicing, and accidentally stayed in seclusion for a little too long!" Li Shiming saw Elder Jindan not far from Elder Su, and understood why Elder Su was waiting outside Chijian Peak. He said apologetically.
"Cultivation is the most important thing. You can make pills at any time!" Elder Su disagreed with him and emphasized his tone.
"Yes, Master!" Li Shiming bowed in response.
"You should rest for a few more days. When you have recovered, we can talk about alchemy!" Elder Su seemed to have forgotten about the Golden Core Elder who was asking for elixir, and continued.
The Jindan elder wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth several times, no word came out.
"I can start refining pills as normal tomorrow. I still need some time to sort out my gains this time!" Li Shiming said with a smile.
He took out another jade bottle and handed it over, placing it in Elder Su's hand.
Elder Su was slightly stunned, and immediately knew what it was, and he did not refuse.
"Go and get busy!" He waved his hand and turned to leave.
While flying, he opened the jade bottle, which contained twenty third-grade elixirs for cultivation.
Li Shiming knew his master well. If he hadn't offered the third-grade elixir on his own initiative, Elder Su would never have asked for it.
Elder Su has quite a lot of cultivation resources of his own, but they are not enough for him to continue practicing. Instead, he needs to continue working for the sect in exchange for cultivation resources.
If a Jindan cultivator wants to have a chance to reach the Yuanying stage, he needs to reach the late Jindan stage as soon as possible and become a great elder. Only then will there be a glimmer of hope for advancement to the Yuanying stage.
Lifespan is the reason that prevents most Jindan cultivators from becoming great elders. The main reason for this is that the cultivation resources affect the speed of cultivation.
Li Shiming did not dare to give his master Elder Su too many third-grade elixirs. He would take out a small amount of third-grade elixirs every once in a while to make up for Elder Su's resource problem.
Back in the practice room, Li Shiming was still marveling at the results of his six months of practice.
The results of his six months of practice are probably comparable to those of other Jindan cultivators who have practiced for hundreds of years.
Obviously, the ability of his life treasure IBMz15 greatly helped him in practicing the 'Taiqing Xuangui Jue'.
From today on, he no longer needs to use the Taiqing Black Turtle Scale to practice. As long as he activates the True Meaning to transform into a human form, he can obtain the purer Taiqing Black Turtle Qi from a slight connection with the Taiqing Black Turtle.
What satisfied Li Shiming the most was that after the 'Taiqing Xuangui Jue' was promoted to perfection, his speed of absorbing spiritual energy increased a little.
This was beyond his expectations, but considering the state of the Taiqing Black Turtle absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy in the simulated environment, the increased speed of absorbing spiritual energy was nothing.
He was somewhat glad that he had spent the effort to change his body-refining technique. This 'Taiqing Xuangui Jue' was superior to the 'Vajra Body Protection Divine Art' in all aspects, especially the improvement in absorbing spiritual energy, which was most suitable for him.
He has enough third-grade elixirs, and the 'Taiqing Xuangui Jue' can shorten the time it takes him to absorb the third-grade elixirs, thus increasing the effect of his cultivation in the same amount of time.
"Nothing has happened in six months, right?" He contacted Li Yuanba with his mind and immediately shared the news from the Yongle battlefield.
He contacted the drone satellite system again and checked the surveillance records left over from the past six months.
Through the monitoring records saved by the drone satellite system, he did not find any major actions on Yongle Island, which meant that the cave opened up by the powerful man had not yet been found.
If it was so easy to find, it wouldn’t have taken so long for no monk to discover it.
Besides, whether there really is a cave opened up by the great Zhai Ge is still unknown. Everything is the judgment and speculation of Tianxing Trading Company.
The Tianxing Trading Company on Yongle Island has been investigating the murder of Great Elder Sun Ao, but they have checked the itineraries of all the cultivators from the Northern Shu Continent who could pose a threat to Great Elder Sun Ao, and have not found any clues.
They had never doubted Li Shiming. They did not believe that a master alchemist who rarely left Shushan Sect had the ability to kill Great Elder Sun Ao.
Over the past few years, Tianxing Trading Company has been continuously advancing its exploration of various locations on the Northern Shu Continent. Although they have discovered many possible places, they were ultimately confirmed not to be the caves they were looking for.
Li Shiming resumed his previous alchemy business. The silver corpse received monks who came to ask for elixirs, while he continued to practice hard.
His cultivation speed increased, but he still could not catch up with the realm of his clone Li Yuanba, whose golden elixir had steadily approached the peak of the middle stage of the golden elixir.
As a sword cultivator, after his sword intent has surpassed the realm, Li Yuanba only needs to continuously accumulate spiritual power.
For more than five years, he rarely went into battle and spent most of his time practicing.
As support for his cultivation, Patriarch Jian gave most of the spiritual energy allocated to him by the six major sects to him.
When it comes to the level of Yuanying Patriarch, the time required for real cultivation is too long. Being in an environment like the Yongle battlefield, Patriarch Jian cannot practice wholeheartedly.
So he chose to polish his own magical flying sword, which did not require much spiritual energy.
That's right. Li Yuanba used the spiritual energy of the Nascent Soul level spirit veins in his cultivation for more than five years.
"Friend Jian, if Yuanba can really advance to the late Golden Core stage this time, he will become the number one genius in the Northern Shu Continent!" Ancestor Zuo said to Ancestor Jian with some envy.
This was another small gathering, with the eight Nascent Soul ancestors sitting together drinking tea and chatting.
But this time it was a little different. Ancestor Jian found all the Nascent Soul ancestors and asked them to give up the spiritual energy in their spirit veins for a few days to give Li Yuanba the most concentrated spiritual energy for his promotion.
The Nascent Soul level spirit vein moved here is shared by the eight Nascent Soul ancestors. No one is practicing here, so it is usually enough for use.
Patriarch Jian received a message from Li Yuanba, saying that he was going to try to break through to the late Jindan stage. As a master, Patriarch Jian could not help Li Yuanba in other aspects, so he went to find the Yuanying ancestors.
Several Nascent Soul ancestors would naturally give him face. It wasn't just a matter of stopping using their spirit veins for a few days. They could also get a cup of third-grade spirit tea brewed by Master Li from Ancestor Jian, and at the same time, they were doing Ancestor Jian a favor.
"You can't say that. Master Li of your sect is the number one genius on the continent!" Patriarch Jian said modestly.
The mutual praise between him and Patriarch Zuo made the Nascent Soul ancestors of other major sects feel a little jealous.
Li Yuanba's fame today is no less than Li Shiming's. Li Yuanba's fame comes from the battle several years ago, in which he killed the great elder Shi Ming of Tianxing Trading Company head-on.
Especially with the comparison of Zhihuo Arhat from Qianye Temple, Zhihuo Arhat was killed in less than five breaths by another elder, Sun Ao, from Tianxing Trading Company.
From then on, Li Yuanba's reputation spread throughout the Northern Shu continent.
You must know that no matter how Li Yuanba fought against opponents of higher levels in the past, the non-grand elder monks and the grand elder monks were completely different.
It was only after he killed the powerful Great Elder Shi Ming that he established his reputation as the number one swordsman in the Golden Core Realm in the Northern Shu Continent.
All cultivators believed that after Sword Patriarch was promoted to the Nascent Soul Stage, Li Yuanba took over Sword Patriarch's position and became the sword cultivator who suppressed a generation of Jindan Realm cultivators.
But it is different from the time when Ancestor Jian was unique. But now in the Northern Shu Continent, there is another genius who is no weaker than Li Yuanba, and that is Li Shiming.
Both of them were extremely young, having reached the middle stage of the Golden Core at the age of forty.
“You don’t need to praise each other anymore. If Li Yuanba is promoted to the late Jindan stage this time, his title of the number one genius will be confirmed!” Elder Ling Xueling said with a smile.
“Yes, for someone who is less than fifty years old and in the late Jindan stage, there are more than four hundred years, which is enough time for him to be promoted to the Yuanying stage!” Ancestor Lou said with emotion.
Speaking of this, all the Nascent Soul ancestors couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Even though the Yuanying Patriarch has an extremely long lifespan, he has to practice for several years at a time, which makes his lifespan far from enough to consume.
The eight Nascent Soul ancestors here are relatively lucky. Except for the very young Sword Ancestor who has just been promoted, the other Nascent Soul ancestors have a lifespan of at least two or three hundred years.
And with Li Yuanba's current speed of cultivation, he might be able to break through the Nascent Soul stage before he is a hundred years old. If successful, he would have enough time of nine hundred years to break through the middle Nascent Soul stage.
Among the Nascent Soul ancestors sitting here, only Ancestor Jian has the hope of reaching the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and this is based on the premise that Ancestor Jian does not stay in the Northern Shu Continent.
There is no possibility for other Nascent Soul ancestors to advance to the middle Nascent Soul stage.
They looked at Patriarch Jian. Fortunately, Patriarch Jian had decided to leave the Northern Shu Continent. Otherwise, if the Senluo Sect really had two Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators in the future, then the balance of power among the six major sects would be broken, which would not be a good thing.
Just when the Yuanying ancestors were each thinking about their own things, a sharp sword intent came from a cave nearby, and surging spiritual power soared into the sky along with the sword intent.
"Congratulations, Fellow Sword Master!" Although they had guessed that there was a high possibility that Li Yuanba would advance to the late Jindan stage, when they actually saw Li Yuanba revealing the aura of the late Jindan stage, the Yuanying ancestors still felt a little sour in their hearts. Except for the smiling Ancestor Lu, the other Yuanying ancestors congratulated him one after another.
Li Yuanba did not expect that this promotion would be so smooth.
When he was transmitting the message to Ancestor Jian, he was still a little bit away from the peak of the middle stage of the Golden Core.
However, he had a feeling that when he reached the peak of the middle Jindan stage, he might be able to directly advance to the late Jindan stage.
The main reason was that his bottleneck in the late Jindan period had been greatly weakened when his sword intent surpassed the middle Jindan period.
In addition, his research on the sword blade that had existed for who knows how long made his bottleneck, which had already been weakened a lot, become even weaker.
He practiced the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky' technique, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy in the cave, and with the help of the third-grade elixir in his stomach, he soon reached the peak of the middle stage of the golden elixir.
Almost without any pause, he felt the opportunity for promotion.
He felt as if the opportunity for advancement was waiting there for him, and would be presented to him as soon as he reached that level.
What follows is the sublimation of the golden elixir, the spiritual power and sword intent within it are compressed again, and the golden elixir completes its final transformation in the golden elixir period.
Li Yuanba felt that his spiritual power and sword intent had increased several times in power after his golden elixir was promoted to the late stage.
Of course, the price he paid was that 99% of his golden elixir was emptied, leaving only 1% of his spiritual power. This was compressed spiritual power and possessed even greater power.
He judged the spiritual power needed in the golden elixir and couldn't help but take a breath.
The total amount of spiritual power in the 99% of his late-stage golden elixir is more than ten times greater than all the spiritual power he has cultivated from the time he started cultivating immortals to the late stage of the golden elixir.
"Forty years!" Li Yuanba worked out an approximate number of years for cultivation. This was the time when his sword power did not need much cultivation and he only needed to accumulate spiritual power.
If he hadn't observed the sword intent and sword blade, he would have to cultivate his spiritual power and comprehend the sword intent on his own, and the training time would have to be doubled.
Forty years is longer than his entire cultivation career, and this will be the longest period of his cultivation.
But if his thoughts were known by other Jindan cultivators, he would probably be envied to death by other Jindan cultivators.
For other Jindan cultivators, even if they want to go from the early Jindan stage to the middle Jindan stage, it will take more than forty years of cultivation.
"Hey, why are all the Nascent Soul ancestors here with Master?" Li Yuanba broke away from his own feelings and discovered the situation outside. He couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
He soon understood the reason. He had been concentrating on cultivation and did not notice the change in the concentration of spiritual energy in the cave.
He had experience in using Nascent Soul level spirit veins, and with the amount of spiritual energy in his cave, he alone had the exclusive use of the entire Nascent Soul level spirit vein.
This was done by his master, Master Jian, and he felt nothing but gratitude.
He tidied himself up and flew out of the cave. At the same time, he shot a sword intent towards the sky to show all the Nascent Soul ancestors that the spiritual energy they gave up was not wasted.
"Disciple greets the master, and greets all the ancestors!" Li Yuanba flew to the guest reception area of ancestor Jian, bowed deeply and said.
"You are already in the late Golden Core stage. Your master and I will apply to the sect for resources for you to advance to the Nascent Soul stage!" Patriarch Lu narrowed his eyes with joy, and he made the promise aloud.
Ancestor Lu was of course happy. He now had great face in front of all the Nascent Soul ancestors.
His disciple became a Nascent Soul sword cultivator, and his disciple's grandson became a late Golden Core cultivator at a young age. His inheritance can be said to be complete. The only pity is that neither his disciple nor his grandson practiced his skills.
But what does this matter? He accepted the Sword Ancestor in the first place just to add another sword-cultivating lineage to the sect.
Seeing that the inheritance of Ancestor Jian was preserved, although the inheritance of this lineage was extremely picky, no matter what, Senluo Sect also had the strongest sword cultivation inheritance. The strength of this inheritance could be judged from Ancestor Jian and Li Yuanba.
