At the pavilion on the top of Chijian Peak, Li Shiming met the ancestor Ren Xun again.
"Ren Xun meets Master Li!" Patriarch Ren Xun did not have the arrogance of the Yuanying Patriarch at all. When he saw Li Shiming, he took the lead to salute and said with a smile.
"Ancestor Ren, you are too polite!" Li Shiming bowed and returned the greeting.
"Master Li, I treat you with the attitude that Tianxing Trading Company treats alchemy masters. In our Tianxing Trading Company, the status of an alchemy master like you is even higher than mine!" Patriarch Ren Xun glanced at Patriarch Zuo next to him and explained with a smile.
Ancestor Zuo opened his mouth but said nothing. Ancestor Ren Xun's words made him feel a little uncomfortable.
This means that the attitude of the Northern Shu Continent towards Li Shiming is not respectful enough, and there is even some intention of stirring up trouble.
Considering the need to maintain friendship with Tianxing Trading Company, and what Patriarch Ren Xun said was not that obvious, he still held back the rebuttal he wanted to say.
"Fellow Daoist Zuo, I want to talk to Master Li alone about alchemy!" Elder Ren Xun said to Elder Zuo.
“Of course!” The reasons given by Elder Ren Xun forced Elder Zuo to agree, as this involved some secrets.
For example, regarding elixir recipes, according to the rules of the immortal cultivation world, although the alchemy master has the recipe of the person seeking the elixir, he will not share it with others.
This is the rule for alchemists. If you want to be in the alchemy industry, you must abide by this rule.
For example, the remuneration is an extremely personal matter, which not only involves the secrets of the person seeking the elixir, but also the secrets of the master alchemist.
The master alchemist didn't want others to know what kind of spiritual object he had received, so as not to get himself into trouble.
Although Patriarch Zuo is Li Shiming's elder, he also has to consider the issue of avoiding suspicion.
When Patriarch Zuo left the top of the mountain, only Patriarch Li Shiming and Patriarch Ren Xun were left in the pavilion.
"Master Li, do you know why there are no cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul in the Northern Shu Continent?" Elder Ren Xun suddenly asked.
This question was quite abrupt and had nothing to do with what he was talking about with alchemy.
"Is it because there is a shortage of Nascent Soul resources in the Northern Shu Continent?" Li Shiming knew the reason, so he answered.
"It's not just the lack of resources. You asked me for the 'Liuyan Eclipse Sun Technique'. I think you are not aiming at the early stage of the Nascent Soul, but have a higher goal. The spiritual environment, resources, techniques, etc. of the Northern Shu Continent are much worse than those of other continents.
You only have the 'Liuyan Eclipse Sun Power'. Without a lot of resources, no matter how high your alchemy skills are, you can't advance to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, let alone higher goals." Elder Ren Xun said slowly.
Li Shiming's heart moved slightly. He felt that this was the main reason why Elder Ren Xun came to find him.
"I wonder what Elder Ren wants to say?" Li Shiming asked calmly.
"Master Li, my Tianxing Trading Company has connections with several continents and occupies a large number of resource producing areas. Putting aside other things, if you join Tianxing Trading Company, you don't need to worry about the problem of cultivation resources at least during the Nascent Soul stage!" Elder Ren Xun pointed out the purpose of this visit, his voice full of sincerity.
He was not lying. If an alchemy master like Li Shiming joined Tianxing Trading Company, there would be no need to prepare any cultivation resources for Li Shiming.
The commission from Li Shiming's alchemy alone can be used to support Li Shiming's practice.
Tianxing Trading Company gained even more benefits. With the alchemy master Li Shiming, relying on Li Shiming's alchemy level, they could completely win over a group of early Nascent Soul ancestors.
Li Shiming is still in the late Jindan stage. When Li Shiming becomes the Yuanying ancestor, he will be able to refine elixirs for the middle-stage Yuanying cultivators. At that time, Tianxing Trading Company will be able to win over the middle-stage Yuanying cultivators.
Just thinking about this result makes Patriarch Ren Xun excited.
To be honest, if it weren't for the matter of the cave, Li Shiming really had the urge to agree.
Because he had plenty of cultivation resources, his cultivation speed had always remained at the maximum speed. It could be said that his cultivation speed was already the fastest in theory.
What he needs to consider now is not only the matter of infant formation. With such a large number of infant formation resources in his hands, as long as he is not particularly unlucky, his success rate in becoming an infant will not be low.
After recently refining pills for the Yuanying ancestors of the Northern Shu Continent, he also discovered the predicament of the Yuanying ancestors of the Northern Shu Continent.
These Nascent Soul ancestors who control the Northern Shu Continent each have no more than five fourth-grade spiritual medicines in their hands, and this is the accumulation of many years.
No wonder there are so few mid-Nascent Soul cultivators in the history of Northern Shu Continent. If it weren't for the extra resources, and only the Nascent Soul resources close to Northern Shu Continent, it would be impossible to become a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator forever.
Of course, he has the Mountain and River Universe Fan, so as long as he spends more time, he still has hope of advancing to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
But he is not alone, he has a clone, and he also has to consider the resources for Yin Shilan's future infant development. In this way, the fourth-grade resources cultivated in the Shanhe Qiankun fan are definitely not enough.
"I need to think about it!" Li Shiming said hesitantly.
Elder Ren Xun was not disappointed, but felt relieved. As long as there was no opposition on the spot, there was hope.
In his opinion, Li Shiming's realm was probably not at the Nascent Soul stage, and he didn't know the troubles of the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Northern Shu Continent.
He was not in a hurry either. Asking Li Shiming to join was a long-term task. He did not think of getting Li Shiming to join him with just a few words.
"Master Li, this is the fourth-grade elixir I brought. Here is the corresponding recipe. Master Li, please help me refine it!" He took out a space ring and handed it over.
Li Shiming took the space ring and found that there were ten fourth-grade spiritual medicines in the space ring.
He couldn't help but be secretly shocked. You know, Tianxing Trading Company didn't come here for business this time. They actually brought ten fourth-grade spiritual medicines with them, and this was probably not all that Tianxing Trading Company could offer.
Ten fourth-grade spiritual medicines, this number is just the right amount. If there are more, Tianxing Trading Company will be worried about Li Shiming, and if there are fewer, Li Shiming will feel that Tianxing Trading Company is stingy.
Li Shiming thought about it in his mind and put the space ring aside.
"The quantity you have refined this time is a bit too much. I'd better finish the task at hand first and then refine it for you. I can start refining pills for you in about sixteen months!" Li Shiming said with a smile.
"That's no problem. We want to have long-term cooperation with Master Li. By the way, this is the reward for refining ten furnaces of fourth-grade elixirs. I hope Master Li will be satisfied!" Elder Ren Xun smiled and took out another jade gourd and placed it in front of Li Shiming.
Li Shiming looked at the jade gourd, which was a magic weapon. However, to use a third-grade magic weapon and ask him to refine ten furnaces of fourth-grade elixirs, the reward seemed too low.
Even though Li Shiming is still in the Jindan stage, the fourth-grade elixir he refined is a spiritual object of the Yuanying stage, so the reward should naturally be a fourth-grade spiritual object.
Not to mention that this time the goal is to refine ten furnaces of fourth-grade elixirs, so the reward should be higher.
He picked up the jade gourd and found that the magic weapon did not recognize its master, so his spiritual thoughts easily entered it.
"Hey, what is this?" Li Shiming discovered that there was a spiritual liquid inside, but he did not find anything similar to this spiritual liquid in the database of his natal magic weapon IBMz15.
According to the analysis given by IBMz15, this spiritual liquid is a fourth-grade spiritual liquid, and its properties are extremely peaceful and stable.
"This is the 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew' produced from the underground of Dongqi Continent. Its production is extremely low, and it is the top resource that only geniuses in Dongqi Continent can use. If taken in the late Jindan stage, it can greatly speed up the cultivation speed!
There are thirty-six drops in the spirit gourd, which is all we brought this time!" said Patriarch Ren Xun with a smile.
What he didn't say was that this 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew' was the private collection of Patriarch Jin Kai.
'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew' is an extremely special fourth-grade resource. Its specialness lies in that although it is a fourth-grade resource, it is used by Jindan-stage cultivators.
But this did not affect the value of 'Tongxuan Kun Di Xian Lu'. On the contrary, due to the scarcity of 'Tongxuan Kun Di Xian Lu', the value of 'Tongxuan Kun Di Xian Lu' is extremely high, and it is considered to be upper-middle level among the four-grade resources.
Using 'Tongxuan Kundi Xianlu' as a reward is actually too expensive.
The most important point is that Li Shiming, who is in the Beishu Continent, has no idea about the resources of the Dongqi Continent, which also makes it impossible to fully reflect the value of the 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew'.
The reason why Patriarch Jin Kai took out the 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew' as a reward was that he wanted Li Shiming to become a Nascent Soul cultivator as soon as possible.
This was his selfish motive. Giving the 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew' to Li Shiming could, on the one hand, allow Li Shiming to see the sincerity of Tianxing Trading Company. On the other hand, Li Shiming could be promoted to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible so that he could refine the fourth-grade elixir for the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Although the injuries on Patriarch Jin Kai's body don't seem to be serious, but without the fourth-grade healing elixir for the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, his injuries will be prolonged for a long time, which may affect his cultivation plan.
Li Shiming's advancement to the Nascent Soul stage was ahead of schedule, which meant that he could obtain the fourth-grade high-level healing elixir for the middle Nascent Soul stage earlier, allowing him to recover from his injuries sooner.
For this, paying some 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew' is nothing.
As for whether Li Shiming is willing to make elixirs for him, there is no need to worry about it. Li Shiming is making elixirs in public. As long as the reward can impress Li Shiming, making elixirs will not be a problem.
Even though Li Shiming didn't know how precious the 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew' was, he could see how important the 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew' was to him.
What does it mean to greatly speed up the speed of cultivation? His speed of cultivation is already extremely fast. If he further greatly speeds up his speed of cultivation, will he be able to become a great elder soon?
This was not surprising. On that day, he used ten drops of 'Tianluo Immortal Milk' to improve his body to the level of a great elder. At that time, he saw the powerful effect of the fourth-grade resource on the Jindan cultivator.
However, he had never heard of a fourth-grade resource that could increase the growth rate of the golden elixir, and he did not expect it to appear in front of him now.
His heart was burning with enthusiasm. In the process of interacting with the Nascent Soul Patriarch, he knew that the earlier one entered the early stage of the Nascent Soul, the better. That way, there would be enough time to practice and make further progress.
Although a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage has a lifespan of a thousand years, it will be more difficult to advance after eight hundred years old, and once injured in battle, his lifespan will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, most of the Yuanying ancestors in the Northern Shu Continent let relatively young Yuanying ancestors come forward to handle affairs.
Those Nascent Soul ancestors who have a short lifespan will not interfere with external matters even if they come out of seclusion. If they really take action, they will be wasting their own lifespan.
"Since there is such a spiritual object as 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew', I will find time to refine ten furnaces of spiritual pills as soon as possible. Don't worry about delaying my cultivation!" Li Shiming said happily.
"Once Master Li tries the 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew', he will know how powerful the effect of the 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew' is!" said Elder Ren Xun with a smile.
He was extremely envious of Li Shiming. He did not have such good conditions back then. Resources of the level of 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew' were only available to disciples trained as core members of major sects. Other disciples did not have such treatment.
Moreover, even if one is trained as a core disciple, he cannot obtain such a large amount of 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew'.
When he got the 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew', he was surprised at the generosity of Patriarch Jin Kai, but he didn't know what Patriarch Jin Kai was planning.
Elder Ren Xun was very satisfied with this contact. He and Li Shiming exchanged contact cards and could contact Li Shiming directly. This was a major breakthrough.
Although Li Shiming's clear attitude has not yet been obtained, judging from Li Shiming's performance, the probability of him joining Tianxing Trading Company is not small.
When Elder Ren Xun left, he was in a happy mood.
Li Shiming was in a better mood. He was a little impatient and wanted to try the effect of 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew'.
The 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew' has different intervals for taking according to the different Taoist bodies of the cultivators.
After taking it, the cultivator can sense the degree of refining of 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew' in the body, and naturally understand when to use the next drop of 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew'.
"Hui Jing, protect the Dharma for me. If anything goes wrong, help me!" Li Shiming summoned Venerable Hui Jing and instructed.
Venerable Hui Jing has now fully recovered from his injuries and is basically in his prime, but he has just retrained the 'Liuyan Eclipse Sun Technique', so his combat power cannot be fully exerted for a while.
Li Shiming asked Venerable Hui Jing to protect the Dharma because he was afraid that something unexpected would happen during the process of digesting the 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew'.
Although the possibility of Tianxing Trading Company using the 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew' to harm him is extremely low, this fourth-grade resource that he has never heard of was delivered to him by Tianxing Trading Company on its own initiative, so he still needs to be more careful.
He opened up his body's permissions, and Venerable Hui Jing could clearly monitor the changes in his body.
If anything unexpected really happens, Venerable Hui Jing can intervene.
Venerable Hui Jing is currently unable to fight, but it is easy for him to help Li Shiming.
Li Shiming sat cross-legged at the spiritual energy outlet of the Nascent Soul level spiritual vein, took out the third-grade spiritual gourd, poured out a drop of 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew' from it and introduced it into his mouth, and then began to practice the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Technique'.
After the 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew' entered his stomach, there was no extremely exciting spiritual power gushing out. Instead, it was as if a spiritual spring had been opened up in his body, and continuous spiritual power flowed from the abdomen to the hundreds of orifices around the body.
