“Shiming, ask your followers to go to the sect and ask for a spiritual plant master to come over. With a Nascent Soul-level spiritual vein, you can open up many acres of third-grade spiritual fields on this mountain!” After Patriarch Fan withdrew his hands, he said to Li Shiming with a smile.
"Thank you, Grandmaster, and thank you, Uncle-Master!" Li Shiming was delighted as he sensed the changes in the spiritual energy at Chijian Peak. He bowed and expressed his gratitude.
"Don't thank me, this is what you deserve. By the way, your authority has also been improved!" Ancestor Zuo waved his hand and said.
Li Shiming took out his identity jade disc and found that his authority had indeed been upgraded from the elder level to the grand elder level, which was the level of the Nascent Soul Patriarch.
But he found that due to his realm, he was still unable to go to the Nascent Soul level library.
"Grandmaster, could you please open the Nascent Soul-level library to me? I want to gain some knowledge!" Li Shiming put away his identity jade disc and asked Grandmaster Fan with a smile.
"You haven't reached that realm yet. It's of little use going to the Nascent Soul Level Library. On the contrary, it will affect your cultivation!" said Patriarch Fan, frowning.
He saw the determination in Li Shiming's eyes, and felt helpless. Even if Li Shiming could not obtain Nascent Soul level knowledge from the sect, he could also obtain it from outside the sect through alchemy.
If that were the case, not only would Li Shiming be unhappy, but his gains would also be reduced.
If the reward is replaced by Nascent Soul level knowledge, then other rewards will be less. Asking Li Shiming to make the elixir will be a fourth-grade reward.
"Forget it. With your ability, it's okay for you to be exposed to Nascent Soul level knowledge in advance. I will give you the corresponding authority, but you must be careful. You can try it, but never try the secret methods of the Nascent Soul level!" Thinking of this, Patriarch Fan changed his words.
"I know I won't do that. With my level, once the Nascent Soul level secret technique is used, it will cause backlash to my body!" Li Shiming assured with a smile.
"It's good that you understand!" Patriarch Fan said as he gave Li Shiming the operating authority.
Since Patriarch Lou was refining the medicinal power here, Patriarchs Fan, Zuo and Li Shiming did not leave. They stayed by the side, communicating and waiting.
It didn't take long before Li Shiming felt the change in Elder Lou's aura.
Patriarch Fan waved his hand and removed the restriction that was protecting Patriarch Lou, revealing Patriarch Lou who was opening his eyes inside.
"Haha, my injuries have mostly healed. I will be able to fully recover in another two to three years. Master Li, I, Lou Song, thank you very much!" Old Ancestor Lou came to Li Shiming with a big laugh, bowed and said.
Everyone could sense his difference from the aura around him.
"Ancestor Lou, please stand up quickly. I can see your breath. If you take another fourth-grade healing elixir, your injuries should be completely healed!" Li Shiming hurriedly stepped forward and gave him a light support.
"How can we waste a fourth-grade healing elixir of this effect like this? It's only two or three years, and you don't even need to rest in seclusion. As long as you don't fight with all your strength, there will be no impact!" said Patriarch Lou, shaking his head.
He had no intention of taking another fourth-grade healing elixir. After using one, his injuries were mostly healed, and he also had a deeper understanding of the effect of this fourth-grade high-level healing elixir.
This fourth-grade healing elixir is almost equivalent to a life for the Nascent Soul Ancestor. Taking it when seriously injured can restore some of the combat power and alleviate the injuries.
Patriarch Lou did not have the extravagant idea of wasting a fourth-grade healing elixir just for two or three years of recovery time.
"Shi Ming, keep your fourth-grade healing elixir. Fourth-grade spiritual herbs like the Wu Ding Tu Ganoderma that can be used to refine fourth-grade healing elixirs are extremely rare. Since the effect of the fourth-grade healing elixir is so good, the value of your fourth-grade healing elixir is extremely high!" Patriarch Fan reminded.
He was afraid that Li Shiming didn't know how precious the fourth-grade healing elixir was, and would trade the elixir with others, or be tricked into selling it by the Beishu Trading Company.
Although Li Shiming's realm is not high enough to use the fourth-grade healing elixir, he and Ancestor Zuo need it.
If their two Nascent Soul ancestors were really seriously injured, would Li Shiming still be stingy with that fourth-grade healing elixir?
"Yes, Master!" Li Shiming replied.
"Fellow Daoist Lou, you can move freely now. Let's go to Yongle Island together and meet Senior Jin Kai!" Patriarch Zuo said to Patriarch Lou at this time.
Recently, the six major sects have mobilized all their intelligence networks, but have not found any clues about the two great elders, You Xia and Sun Ao. He thinks that there may be something wrong with the direction, so he wants to go and have a talk with Patriarch Jin Kai.
Originally, due to Patriarch Lou's injuries, the Disha Sect would have sent another Nascent Soul Patriarch to go, but since Patriarch Lou's injuries are stable, it would be better for Patriarch Lou to go as well.
Patriarch Lou had gone through hardships together with Patriarch Jin Kai of Tianxing Trading Company, especially when Patriarch Lou was seriously injured, so it could be said that Patriarch Jin Kai owed him a favor.
"No problem, as long as there is no fighting!" Patriarch Lou understood what Patriarch Zuo meant and responded with a smile.
Elder Lou and Elder Zuo left together, and he thanked Li Shiming many times before leaving.
This time he owed Li Shiming a big favor. Even though he took out the reward, the fourth-grade elixir was also taken by Li Shiming.
But if he had to follow Li Shiming's rules to refine the elixir this time, even with the consent of Ancestor Zuo and Ancestor Fan, it would take until next month to refine it.
Li Shiming suffered heavy losses in order to refine his fourth-grade elixir, so he must remember this favor.
A few days later, a Jindan elder from the Disha Sect brought a purple jade slip, which was the Disha Sect's alchemy inheritance.
This is certainly not a gift for Li Shiming. This Jindan elder will stay in Shushan Sect for three days. Li Shiming has three days to write down the contents of the Disha Sect's alchemy inheritance.
For a cultivator like Li Shiming who is in the late Jindan stage, even if he is just an ordinary cultivator in the late Jindan stage, three days is enough to memorize the alchemy inheritance in the purple jade slip.
Li Shiming only used his divine sense to scan once, and his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15 recorded all the inheritance contents.
A large number of spiritual medicines, including identification, processing, pharmacology, planting, precautions, etc., fourth-grade pill recipes, and a large amount of experience and insights left by the alchemy predecessors of the Disha Sect.
This alchemy inheritance has greatly enriched the alchemy database of IBMz15. It is an inheritance that is as famous as the alchemy inheritance of the Shushan Sect. Moreover, the Disha Sect is a demon sect and has many unique methods in alchemy.
Although many of these methods are against the laws of nature, the principles behind them are of great help to Li Shiming.
While Li Shiming was practicing and studying, the six Nascent Soul ancestors from the six major sects came to Yongle Island again.
"Welcome everyone!" Patriarch Jin Kai said with a smile as he looked at the six Nascent Soul ancestors who entered the hall.
He waved his hand and asked the great elder who led the Nascent Soul ancestors in to leave. The great elder was not qualified to participate in such a gathering.
"Greetings, Senior Jin!" The six Nascent Soul ancestors bowed and then sat down in their respective seats.
"Huh!" When Patriarch Jin Kai saw Taoist Lou, he couldn't help but let out a light exclamation.
It's not surprising that he was surprised. He knew that Ancestor Lou was hit by the golden corpse in the cave, and the injuries he suffered were serious. Looking at Ancestor Lou in front of him, although his injuries had not fully recovered, his vitality had been replenished, and his injuries were almost recovered.
"Fellow Daoist Lou, how come your injuries recovered so quickly?" he asked curiously.
"Master Li refined a furnace of fourth-grade healing elixirs for me, and my injuries were healed!" Patriarch Lou thought about it and did not hide it.
There was no need to conceal the fact that Li Shiming had advanced to the late Jindan stage and had refined a fourth-grade elixir for the Yuanying ancestor. This was no longer a secret among the high-ranking officials of the Northern Shu Continent.
Patriarch Jin Kai just didn't go to investigate. If he wanted to investigate, he would be able to get the news soon.
"Is it that Master Li Shiming? Has he been promoted to the late Jindan stage? Looking at Fellow Daoist Lou's injuries, wouldn't the fourth-grade healing elixir he refined have reached the advanced fourth grade?" Patriarch Jin Kai's eyes flashed, and he asked repeatedly.
Based on his assessment of Elder Lou's injuries, in order to recover to such an extent in such a short time, a fourth-grade high-level healing elixir would be necessary.
However, no alchemy master in the entire world of immortal cultivation is sure of refining a fourth-grade high-level elixir.
The requirement for high-level elixirs is that every step in the alchemy process is in the most perfect state, without the slightest error.
If it was a third-grade or lower elixir, it would still be possible, because a third-grade elixir would only take a few hours to refine, and it would be possible for the master alchemist to make no mistakes within a few hours.
However, refining a fourth-grade elixir would take nearly ten days.
This takes ten days, and the master alchemist needs to pay full attention to the changes in the alchemy furnace. The probability of not making any mistakes in ten days is too low.
Even the best alchemy master that Patriarch Jin Kai knew could only refine a few furnaces of fourth-grade high-level elixirs in his lifetime, and that was all due to luck.
"Hehe!" When Ancestor Lou heard Ancestor Jin Kai's urgent questions, his heart was moved. He did not answer Ancestor Jin Kai's questions, but just smiled.
He became alert, fearing that he might bring trouble to Li Shiming.
Patriarch Jin Kai didn't need his answer, he had guessed it from Patriarch Lou's expression.
At this moment, Patriarch Jin Kai was moved. The possibility of retrieving Patriarch Zhai Ge's cave was estimated to be very low, but discovering the alchemy master Li Shiming was also a big discovery.
It was a pity that such a great alchemist was trapped in a place like the Northern Shu Continent, which even Patriarch Jin Kai felt was a pity.
In addition, Patriarch Jin Kai was also injured. Although the injury was not serious, at his level, it would be extremely difficult to recover from the injury.
If Li Shiming could refine a fourth-grade high-level elixir for him, his injuries would probably recover quickly.
Unfortunately, Li Shiming's realm was too low. Although both were fourth-grade healing elixirs, the fourth-grade healing elixir used in the early Nascent Soul stage was completely different from the one used in the middle Nascent Soul stage.
The fourth-grade healing elixir used by Patriarch Jin Kai requires Li Shiming to be at least at the early Nascent Soul stage in order to refine it.
Patriarch Jin Kai wanted to meet Li Shiming, but before that, perhaps he could ask Patriarch Ren Xun to test the waters.
"Senior Jin, we haven't found any traces of You Xia and Sun Ao anywhere in the Northern Shu Continent. Did we go in the wrong direction?" Patriarch Lu asked at this time.
Patriarch Lu intentionally shifted the topic to business. As the Nascent Soul Patriarch of the Northern Shu Continent, he did not want his own alchemy master to be remembered by Nascent Soul Patriarchs from other places.
"You couldn't find any trace of the aura I gave you?" Patriarch Jin Kai was attracted by the news and asked with a frown.
In order to enable the six major sects to successfully find Great Elder You Xia and Great Elder Sun Ao, he sealed the aura left in the temporary cave of the two great elders and handed it over to the six major sects.
There are many secret tracking methods in the world of immortal cultivation. As long as the aura can be used as a reference, you can look for it everywhere.
Wherever Great Elder You Xia and Great Elder Sun Ao passed, they would leave behind their aura to a greater or lesser extent.
Given the power of the six major sects in the Northern Shu continent, if Great Elder You Xia and Great Elder Sun Ao were to act outside, they would leave traces that could be discovered by the intelligence network of the six major sects.
They have not been discovered for such a long time, either Great Elder You Xia and Great Elder Sun Ao have been hiding somewhere and have never left their hiding place, but if they leave the area where the cave is located, they will also leave their aura behind.
Either Great Elder You Xia and Great Elder Sun Ao have already passed away. If so, the difficulty of finding the cave has increased exponentially.
Without any clues, finding the inheritor of Dongtian is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"The cultivator who passed the cave test practiced thunder-related skills. This is also a clue!" Ancestor Jin Kai thought for a while and said.
This clue made the six Nascent Soul ancestors feel much better. There were not many cultivators practicing thunder-related techniques in the Northern Shu Continent.
The practice of thunder-related skills is extremely difficult and places great restrictions on the talents of the cultivators. This means that although thunder cultivators are very powerful, there are very few people who can take the plunge.
"With this clue, we should be able to speed up the search!" Patriarch Lu nodded and said.
"Fellow Daoist Zuo, I have a favor to ask of you. Junior-junior brother Ren Xun is seriously injured. I hope he can meet Master Li of your sect and ask Master Li to refine a furnace of fourth-grade healing elixirs for him!" Ancestor Jin Kai said to Ancestor Zuo.
Ancestor Zuo was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect that Ancestor Jin Kai would make this request at this time.
To be honest, it was difficult for him to refuse this request.
The reason why Patriarch Ren Xun was injured was because he fought with them. This is not a particularly difficult request. If you really object, it will affect the relationship between Beishu Continent and Tianxing Trading Company.
"Senior Jin, Master Li has been refining two batches of fourth-grade elixirs in a row recently. Especially before refining the fourth-grade healing elixir for Fellow Daoist Lou, he had almost no rest, which damaged his vitality. If Fellow Daoist Ren needs it, I'm afraid he won't be able to refine the elixir immediately!" Patriarch Zuo replied after some consideration.
"It's okay if you can't make the elixir right away. Let Nephew Ren meet with Master Li first and make an agreement on making the elixir. Nephew Ren's injuries are quite serious. If we delay any further, it may affect his spiritual path!" said Patriarch Jin Kai, waving his hand.
