Li Yuanba returned to Jieshan City. Even though he was arranged to go to the Yongle battlefield, Jieshan City did not send anyone to replace him.
With his current reputation, Senluo Sect would not move his position unless he explicitly proposed to leave Jieshan City.
Of course, the most important reason is that the Jindan rulers of Senluo Sect do not want him to return to the mountain gate to compete with them for power.
Li Yuanba has both the background and the strength.
There are two Yuanying ancestors in the background, one is the grandmaster and the other is the master, and they have a very close relationship.
Needless to say, his strength is amazing. Li Yuanba has already replaced Old Ancestor Jian and become the number one golden elixir master in the Northern Shu continent.
This was proven by him through actual combat, and was unanimously recognized by the entire Northern Shu continent.
The finishing work on the Yongle battlefield does not require the intervention of a master like him.
The task of clearing out the local independent cultivators was assigned by the six major sects to the Jindan cultivators in the sects. Many Jindan cultivators were scrambling to take on this task of killing the Jindan independent cultivators with the support of the sects.
After Li Yuanba returned to Jieshan City, he immediately went into seclusion.
The reason for his seclusion was that he wanted to practice the 'Human Reincarnation Technique'.
Spirit is also extremely important for sword practitioners, who need spirit to support sword intent.
In the process of sharpening the sword will, the 'Sword Will Soaring into the Sky Art' also improves the spirit, but it is nowhere near as good as the top-notch techniques that specifically cultivate the spirit.
There was no more war in Jieshan City and Jieshan Checkpoint because the six major sects were united in facing the outside world, and even the Jieshan Checkpoint was opened.
Li Yuanba had nothing to do in Jieshan City, and he was not required to do anything.
When the news of his return to Jieshan City spread, except for some monks who wanted to pay him a visit, no monk in the entire Jieshan City, including the nearby Jieshan Checkpoint, dared to cause trouble.
The reputation of being the number one Jindan master is enough to suppress everything.
On this day, six Nascent Soul ancestors came to Yongle Island. Except for Ancestor Lou of the Disha Sect who was replaced by Ancestor Ran Rong, the rest of the Nascent Soul ancestors remained the same as before.
Beishu Trading Company did not send Yuanying ancestors to participate. Beishu Trading Company previously participated for the benefit of Beishu Continent. Now, for the matter of Dongtian inheritance, they believe that they are not qualified to compete with the six major sects and Tianxing Trading Company, so they chose to give in.
"Greetings, Senior Jin!" Patriarch Lu, as a representative, bowed to Patriarch Jin Kai and said.
The other five Nascent Soul ancestors followed suit. They were enemies before, but now that the two sides have started negotiations, they naturally acted according to the rules of the immortal cultivation world.
Ancestor Jin Kai, who is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, is a senior to those who are in the early stage of the Nascent Soul.
"Everyone is finally here. Please sit over there and talk!" Patriarch Jin Kai said with a smile and nodded slightly.
Patriarch Ren Xun did not participate in the meeting. His condition was not good. If it were not for the fact that he could not cross the sea, Patriarch Jin Kai would have wanted to send him back to headquarters.
It can be said that Patriarch Ren Xun's combat power is useless. Although Tianxing Trading Company has fourth-grade healing elixirs, Patriarch Ren Xun will not be able to recover without a hundred years.
This time, Patriarch Ren Xun suffered too much loss. Not only did he not gain anything, but he was seriously injured.
Although a hundred years is not a long time for the Nascent Soul Patriarch, it will definitely affect his future.
Elder Ren Xun has always been proud of his age when he was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage. His age is considered extremely young among the cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage.
But after a hundred years of delay, not only did he lose his advantage, he even fell behind the Nascent Soul ancestors of the same period.
This is the result of participating in an expedition. Exploration is an extremely dangerous thing. It is still good for him. Many monks died in the expedition.
Patriarch Jin Kai was also injured, but his injuries were much lighter than those of Patriarch Ren Xun.
Of course, no cultivator knew the extent of his injuries. He was in the middle Nascent Soul stage, and the other Nascent Soul ancestors were simply unable to detect his true condition.
The six Yuanying ancestors and the Jinkai ancestor came to the place that had been arranged long ago and took their seats.
"Everyone, how about tasting my spiritual tea?" Patriarch Jin Kai waved his hand, and a cup of spiritual tea fell in front of each Nascent Soul ancestor, and he said lightly.
"Fourth-grade spiritual tea!" It was the first time that Elder Ran Rong came into contact with a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. His mind was not as stable as that of the other Nascent Soul Elders. After smelling the scent of the spiritual tea, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
Although there was only a piece of tea leaf in the cup, the fourth-grade spiritual tea was extremely rare even in the Northern Shu Continent. The Yuanying ancestors could hardly taste it once in their thousand-year lifetime.
And Patriarch Jin Kai used fourth-grade spiritual tea as a treat just to entertain them, which shocked Patriarch Ran Rong extremely.
"It's just the lower grade of the fourth-grade spiritual tea!" Patriarch Jin Kai waved his hand and said indifferently.
He did this in order to suppress the Yuanying ancestor of the Northern Shu Continent and lay a solid foundation for subsequent negotiations.
“What a pity, the tea-frying technique is not worthy of this spiritual tea!” Old Ancestor Zuo took a sip of the fourth-grade spiritual tea and shook his head with emotion.
Patriarch Jin Kai originally thought that Patriarch Zuo was intentionally downplaying the quality of the fourth-grade spiritual tea. When he was about to speak, he discovered that the expressions on the faces of the other Nascent Soul Patriarchs were not praises for the fourth-grade spiritual tea, but rather a look of regret.
“Indeed, if we send this fourth-grade spiritual tea to Master Li for frying, then we can truly bring out the spirituality of the fourth-grade spiritual tea!” Patriarch Lu also nodded in agreement.
"Yes, this fourth-grade spiritual tea is full of spiritual energy, but too much of its spirituality is wasted!" Patriarch Zhan continued.
Among the Yuanying ancestors of the Northern Shu Continent, only Patriarch Ran Rong had not tasted the third-grade spiritual tea roasted by Li Shiming. The other Yuanying ancestors had more or less obtained some of the third-grade spiritual tea roasted by Li Shiming.
Comparing the two, everyone felt that it was such a pity to waste this fourth-grade spiritual tea.
Patriarch Ran Rong looked at all the Nascent Soul ancestors. He felt as if he had missed something after being in seclusion for decades.
"I know Li Shiming. He is the alchemy master of Shushan Sect, known as the best alchemy master in the continent. This is the first time I've heard of the spiritual tea he stir-fried!" Patriarch Ran Rong said directly when he didn't understand.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Lou got very little, and I guess it wasn't enough for him to drink, so I never told you about it!" Patriarch Lu said with a big laugh.
Ancestor Ran Rong and Ancestor Lou are both Nascent Soul ancestors of the Disha Sect. Li Shiming does not have a good relationship with the Disha Sect, so very few third-grade spiritual teas can flow into Ancestor Lou's hands.
"Do you have the spiritual tea roasted by Li Shiming? I also want to taste it!" Elder Ran Rong was really curious and said quickly.
"Then we have to find Fellow Daoist Lu. It is difficult for me, your uncle, to get much spiritual tea from Shi Ming!" Ancestor Zuo said, pointing at Ancestor Lu.
The person that Ancestor Zuo was talking about was naturally Ancestor Jian, the disciple of Ancestor Lu. Ancestor Jian's Nascent Soul celebration was hosted with Li Shiming's spiritual tea, and the quantity was even greater than that of Ancestor Zuo.
“Fellow Daoist Zuo, you are just joking, but I am not a stingy person. It’s just spiritual tea. Come drink it together with the fourth-grade spiritual tea and taste the difference between the two!” Patriarch Lu pointed at Patriarch Zuo and said with a smile.
He also got a lot of third-grade spiritual tea from Li Yuanba, and it was just right to share it now.
This is not just for the sake of Patriarch Ran Rong, but also to suppress the arrogance of Patriarch Jin Kai.
Perhaps the resources of Beishu Continent are not as good as those outside, but Beishu Continent also has its own characteristics.
Patriarch Lu waved his hand, and a cup of spiritual tea appeared in front of all the Nascent Soul ancestors, including Patriarch Jin Kai.
When Patriarch Jin Kai first smelled the scent of the third-grade spiritual tea, he didn't pay much attention to it, but soon his eyes froze.
This third-grade spiritual tea is definitely much inferior to the fourth-grade spiritual tea, but in terms of spirituality, it surpasses the fourth-grade spiritual tea.
This gap is not the gap in the spiritual tea itself. In theory, the spirituality of the fourth-grade spiritual tea is one level higher than that of the third-grade spiritual tea.
However, the spirituality of the third grade spiritual tea was fully exerted, while the fourth grade spiritual tea he brought only exerted a small part, which is why the fourth grade spiritual tea is not as spiritual as the third grade spiritual tea.
"Good tea!" Patriarch Jin Kai praised sincerely.
He was already thinking about contacting Master Li, perhaps asking Master Li to roast a batch of spiritual tea and sell it as a product of Tianxing Trading Company.
It was a pity that he did not have any processed fourth-grade tea, otherwise he would really like to taste the fourth-grade spiritual tea roasted by Master Li.
"Fellow Daoist Zuo, I will go visit Master Li later!" Elder Ran Rong was more direct, he said to Elder Zuo.
"Fellow Daoist Ran, Shi Ming is too busy to see you. If you have anything, you can contact us through the sect!" Patriarch Zuo waved his hand and refused.
After Ancestor Zuo returned to the sect, he discovered that Li Shiming was in seclusion. He also discovered that this very ordinary seclusion was actually blocked by the sect.
He immediately thought of a possibility. He didn't ask any more questions, but he paid close attention to this matter.
Ancestor Fan is Li Shiming's great master, so Ancestor Fan naturally has priority in matters of alchemy, but as his great uncle, he can be ranked second.
Yes, he guessed that Li Shiming was most likely preparing for a breakthrough during this retreat. You know, Li Shiming had reached the peak of the middle stage of the Golden Core before.
With the talent Li Shiming had shown before, even though the bottleneck from the middle stage to the late stage of the Golden Core was extremely difficult to break through, it was very normal for Li Shiming to break through the bottleneck in several months.
Therefore, Ancestor Zuo did not want any outsiders to disturb Li Shiming at all, especially the Nascent Soul Ancestors. Once Ancestor Ran Rong found out that Li Shiming had advanced to the late Golden Core stage, all the Nascent Soul Ancestors in the entire Northern Shu Continent would come to him.
"You Shushan Sect are so stingy!" said Patriarch Ran Rong, rolling his eyes.
He was thinking about how to exchange for this third-grade spiritual tea, the spirituality in it would also be beneficial to him.
"Everyone, let's talk about cooperation!" Patriarch Jin Kai couldn't wait any longer, so he spoke out.
Ancestor Lu, Ancestor Zuo and several other Nascent Soul ancestors looked at each other and a faint smile appeared on their faces.
They had gained the upper hand in the negotiations between the two parties.
"The cooperation involves information sharing. When our six major sects are searching for clues, Tianxing Trading Company should also provide corresponding information support. The matter of the cave is a very secretive matter. Since it has been opened in advance, besides You Xia, are there other cultivators who know about it?
We know very little about the information about the cave. Please give us more information so that we can find some clues!
After these are discussed, we will discuss the distribution after obtaining the inheritance of the cave heaven!" Ancestor Lu smiled and proposed this opinion.
After discussion among the Nascent Soul ancestors of the six major sects in the Northern Shu Continent, regardless of whether the cave-heaven could be found, at least they had to get relevant information about the cave-heaven, the more the better.
It's impossible that I have the opportunity but have no way to deal with it. Even if I tell people about the existence of the cave, I can't open it, let alone enter it.
“I can share the information about the cave, but I will only share the method to open it after I find it!
At present, I suspect You Xia and Sun Ao, but I don't know if there are other cultivators involved!" Ancestor Jin Kai thought for a while and replied.
When he made this guess, he actually felt helpless and ashamed.
You Xia and Sun Ao are both elite elders trained by Tianxing Trading Company, but Elder You Xia has definitely betrayed him. It was Elder You Xia who opened the cave.
In the cave, there was the aura of thunder and lightning of Great Elder Sun Ao, and the inexplicable disappearance of Great Elder Sun Ao made Patriarch Jin Kai suspect Great Elder Sun Ao.
These are also the two people who are easiest to investigate. As long as they are still alive, with the power of the six major sects, they can be found.
Without the leadership of the Nascent Soul Ancestor, it would be impossible for Elder You Xia and Elder Sun Ao to leave the Northern Shu Continent.
Patriarch Jin Kai was straightforward and threw a jade slip to Patriarch Lu.
Patriarch Lu took the jade slip and his eyes lit up after checking it. He handed the jade slip to the Nascent Soul Patriarchs around him to check one by one.
The jade slip contained information about the cave heaven. Although they had entered the cave heaven, they still had only a vague understanding of much of the information about it.
This jade slip gave them an accurate answer and enriched the knowledge accumulated by the six major sects.
"Then let's start investigating You Xia and Sun Ao. This is the only clue at the moment!" Patriarch Lu said to Patriarch Jin Kai.
"It's too early to talk about the distribution of benefits now, but it's better to say it in advance. I'll take half, and the rest is yours!" Ancestor Jin Kai nodded and said.
"We are the ones who did the hard work. Half is a bit too much. It should be one share for each family. You should get one of the seven shares!" Patriarch Lu was not polite and immediately bargained.
The two sides began to argue over interests. Normally, the distribution of such interests is discussed by the people below.
But the benefits of this relationship are so great that every bit of it could be a resource beyond imagination.
In the end, the two sides reached an agreement, mainly because both sides were willing to talk, and both sides also guessed the other side's bottom line.
As for the distribution of profits, Tianxing Trading Company will get one third, and Beishu Continent will get two thirds. Of course, the prerequisite is to find the inheritor and take back the cave and the inheritance.
Just as Patriarch Jin Kai said, raising questions in advance will avoid conflicts later.
The two parties formally signed the contract. This contract was not an ordinary contract, but a contract with the power of rules. No Nascent Soul ancestor dared to violate such a contract.
