Li Yuanba returned to the temporary cave. He sat next to his original body Li Shiming and began to take stock of the harvest.

Li Shiming closed his eyes and ignored the return of his clone.

For him, the most important thing now is cultivation. He uses the 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew' to continuously improve his cultivation.

Although the Northern Shu continent is barren, Nascent Soul cultivators like Patriarch Li of the Senluo Sect are not poor.

This poverty refers to the resources for cultivation. The furnishings in his cave are not poor at all. Many of these spiritual objects are accumulations passed down from generation to generation in the sect.

The accumulation of more than ten thousand years from generation to generation formed the inherited spiritual objects of his lineage. Together with the spiritual objects he got from other places, he placed them all in his own cave.

Li Yuanba took them all, and they all became Li Yuanba's collection.

First, the furnishings of the cave, the third-grade floor tiles and wall tiles, would be completely useful when he needed to decorate the cave.

Although Li Shiming is wealthy, the time he has accumulated his wealth is still too short. If he had accumulated it for hundreds of years, he might be able to compare with the foundation of Ancestor Li.

Of course, that was when the cave heaven was not inherited. After the cave heaven was inherited, Li Shiming would have the ability to compete with any Nascent Soul ancestor in wealth.

The other three grades of daily necessities were just right for Li Yuanba to use himself, and Li Shiming already had a set.

What caught his attention most was a fourth-grade Putuan. When he used his spiritual sense to investigate, he discovered that it was a fourth-grade rare item that had the function of enhancing the effect of cultivation.

Although the enhanced training effect is not that strong, Pu Tuan has been using it for a long time, so it is definitely an additional improvement in his training.

More importantly, the fourth-grade Putuan is not a magic weapon and can be used by Jindan cultivators without the need to recognize a master.

This fourth-grade Putuan was sent to the original body of Li Shiming, replacing the original third-grade Putuan.

In Patriarch Li’s warehouse, there are some third- and fourth-grade magic weapons, as well as a small number of consumable fourth-grade spiritual objects.

The third and fourth rank magic weapons were most likely his trophies, some of which were incomplete, and some were his natal magic weapons, which were not very practical.

However, the consumable fourth-grade spiritual objects made his eyes light up. In addition to several fourth-grade spiritual fruits and a few fourth-grade spiritual pills, a fourth-grade corpse refining resource gave him a pleasant surprise.

Li Yuanba emptied out the cave of Ancestor Li and destroyed his mountain, not mainly for the spiritual objects.

Although the fourth-grade Pu Tuan and fourth-grade corpse refining resources among the spiritual objects he obtained were still of some use, compared with the risks he took, this gain was really nothing.

His main purpose was revenge, which was related to his state of mind in cultivation.

Li Shiming and Li Yuanba practiced in the underwater cave for two years. During this period, they never left the cave and basically cut off contact with the outside world.

The reason why it is basic is that with the drone satellite system, Li Shiming can still observe some movements of the Northern Shu Continent.

I don’t know how the Northern Shu Continent negotiated with foreign forces. Today, the Nascent Soul ancestors of the Tianxing Trading Company and the Tianwen Sect have moved from the islands to the land, and each occupied a mountain range with good spiritual energy.

It can be seen that after several years, Tianxing Trading Company and Tianwen Sect did not give up as Li Shiming imagined, but instead took root.

The six major sects mobilized all their forces and conducted a continuous search of the Northern Shu continent.

This can be seen from the drone satellite system. According to the data of the IBMz15, the natal magic weapon, during the same period, the number and time of exploration by the monks from the Northern Shu Continent increased more than ten times compared to the previous few days.

Li Shiming's original plan to wait until Tianxing Trading Company and Tianwen Sect left before making any plans was dashed.

He didn't want to wait any longer, so he made a decision in his heart.

His strength reached the level of a grand elder, a true Jindan grand elder. Combined with the body refining grand elder, he stood at the pinnacle of the Jindan stage.

What he needs to wait for now is enlightenment. Relatively speaking, he has accumulated little in this regard. He needs to constantly strengthen his research on the exercises and comprehend the deeper meaning of his own spiritual power.

This is not easy. Many great elders are stuck at this level for hundreds of years.

Li Shiming needs experience, which cannot be achieved simply by seclusion.

However, the Northern Shu Continent did not have an environment that allowed him to gain experience. Whenever he showed up, he would be hunted down by the six major sects, the Tianxing Trading Company, and the Tianwen Sect.

Think about it, Tianwen Sect and Tianxing Trading Company were even willing to stay in the barren Beishu Continent for a long time in order to find him. He didn't want to stay in Beishu Continent any longer.

Although he was reluctant, he still planned to leave.

Of course, he did not leave the Northern Shu Continent on a whim, but was fully prepared.

Venerable Hui Jing can finally display the Nascent Soul Dharma Image, which is the reason why Li Shiming is willing to leave the Northern Shu Continent.

Although the combat power of Venerable Hui Jing, who practiced the 'Liuyan Eclipse Sun Technique', was not particularly strong, Li Shiming judged that he had the ability to fight against Patriarch Zuo and Patriarch Lu.

This does not mean that Venerable Hui Jing can defeat them, but that Venerable Hui Jing can fight with them. Venerable Hui Jing's biggest weakness is still the fourth-grade magic weapon.

Venerable Hui Jing's life-saving magic weapon, the fourth-grade Baoxiang Ruyi Buddhist beads, has been greatly reduced in effectiveness due to the change of his cultivation technique to the 'Liuyan Eclipse Sun'.

It was Li Shiming who gave the fourth-grade Lihuo Sword and the fourth-grade protective armor to Venerable Hui Jing, which gave him a certain level of combat power.

These two fourth-grade magic weapons are very compatible with the 'Liuyan Eclipse Sun Technique'. They were originally the magic weapons of Patriarch Weng Zhao and are magic weapons of fire attribute.

Li Yuanba's strength improved little, and all the 'Tongxuan Kun Di Xian Lu' was used by Li Shiming. It took thirty-six drops of 'Tongxuan Kun Di Xian Lu' to push Li Shiming to the level of a great elder.

Under normal circumstances, thirty-six drops of 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew' should be enough, but Li Shiming has five golden elixirs. He was able to reach the level of a great elder, and he consumed a lot of resources.

He swallowed all the four-grade spiritual fruits he got from Patriarch Li's cave, and used up the large amount of three-grade resources he had accumulated before, even if it was a bit wasteful. Only then did he reach the realm of the great elder.

Li Yuanba took the third-grade elixir for cultivation, but was completely unable to keep up with Li Shiming's cultivation speed. Even if he wanted to catch up with Li Shiming's realm as the Golden Core Great Elder, it would take more than fifty years.

Unless he can also obtain fourth-grade resources such as the 'Tongxuan Kundi Immortal Dew', but such resources are not so easy to obtain.

However, Li Shiming was not worried about the affairs of his clone Li Yuanba. As long as he could leave the Northern Shu Continent, with his alchemy skills, he would be able to obtain enough resources for cultivation wherever he went.

If he could advance to the Nascent Soul stage, his clone Li Yuanba would not only be guaranteed the resources for cultivation, but also the resources for achieving Nascent Soul status.

With Li Shiming's wealth, he can't even guarantee the promotion of his original body, even though he has a lot of resources for infant formation.

But these Infant Formation resources are not small for an ordinary great elder. Don't forget that he has five golden elixirs. He doesn't know how much consumption will occur when he is promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, and how many Infant Formation resources he will need to fill the need for the promotion of these five golden elixirs.

This is another reason why Li Shiming wants to leave the Northern Shu Continent. He needs more resources. He will never be able to get enough resources if he hides like this.

Li Shiming and Li Yuanba stood together, they looked at each other, and then simultaneously performed the "Lotus Step by Step" and continued to flash forward towards the southeast of the ocean.

Soon they arrived at the flight path, which was far away from the Northern Shu Continent and out of the range of the large formation to be explored on the Northern Shu Continent.

He then took out the magical weapon Meteor Ink Boat and released Venerable Hui Jing. Venerable Hui Jing sat on the deck of the flying boat, while he and his clone Li Yuanba sat in the cabin.

Under the control of Venerable Hui Jing, the speed of the Meteor Ink Boat reached the design limit of the Meteor Ink Boat and maintained this speed.

The speed of the Meteor Ink Boat is very exhausting for a Jindan cultivator, and he cannot sustain it for too long.

But for Venerable Hui Jing, it was extremely easy, and the consumption could not keep up with the speed of his spiritual power recovery.

Venerable Hui Jing's Nascent Soul aura is contained but not released. This is an attitude that is neither ostentatious nor intimidating, yet allows nearby spirit beasts to sense the presence of the Nascent Soul.

It was not the first time that Li Shiming flew in the sea, but it was the first time that he entered a real ocean. He had heard about the horror of the ocean from many monks.

There has always been a saying that if you don’t have the strength of the Nascent Soul stage, don’t even think about crossing the ocean.

After he was able to come into contact with the Nascent Soul Patriarch, he realized that even with Nascent Soul strength, the ocean was not so easy to enter.

The Yuanying ancestors of Beishu Continent would at most explore the safe waters near Beishu Continent. The deeper waters were too dangerous, so they did not dare to go deep into them.

Li Shiming flew according to the Tianwen Sect's route, greatly reducing the possibility of danger.

Especially since Patriarch Jian had just explored the route a few years ago, the danger had been reduced to the limit.

Ten days after Li Shiming quietly left the Northern Shu Continent, a small array plate was flashing in the underwater cave that he had abandoned.

This formation was automatically activated ten days after Li Shiming left.

After the array disk was activated, a stream of spiritual power entered the communication card on the array disk along with the array. The contact card had been set up long ago, and after the spiritual power entered and was activated, it sent a message to the distance.

"Lan'er, wait for me to come back!"

Yin Shilan, who was in a temporary cave on the top of the Ge Laozu Mountain, excitedly took out a communication card.

This contact card is a special contact card between her and Li Shiming, and this contact card can only be a message from Li Shiming.

It's been a few years and she's still worried.

If her master, Grandmaster Ge, had not told her that no force had found Li Shiming, she would not have known what to do.

After seeing the content of the message, she felt relieved.

She felt both helpless and happy. She felt helpless because if it hadn't been for the accident, Li Shiming would have been wanted by various forces. With her cultivation level stabilized at the Jindan stage, she would have been able to become a Taoist partner with Li Shiming.

She was happy because she got news about Li Shiming and knew that Li Shiming was safe. This made her happier than anything else.

"I'll wait for you!" She sent a message back to Li Shiming's contact card.

No matter how long I waited, there was no reply.

Yin Shilan didn't know that on another mountain not far away, Ancestor Zhan was contacting the Beishu Trading Company.

Although Patriarch Ge saved Yin Shilan, this did not stop the other Nascent Soul ancestors from thinking about it.

Patriarch Zhan didn't want to go against Patriarch Ge, but he also had his own methods. He used the Qianhuan Sect's formation and the cooperation of Beishu Trading Company to monitor the contact information sent from Patriarch Ge's mountain.

Yin Shilan's receiving and sending of messages were all captured by Patriarch Zhan, who worked with the Beishu Trading Company to find the approximate location of the other side of the contact card.

"It finally showed up!" Patriarch Zhan said as if he had everything under control.

After a slight hesitation, he contacted the Nascent Soul ancestors of the other five major sects.

It's not that he didn't want to take Li Shiming's cave for himself, but he mobilized the cooperation of Beishu Trading Company. Even if he didn't inform the other five major sects, he couldn't conceal the leakage of this news.

It would be better for the six major sects to go together. If there is any trouble, they can work together to deal with it.

After receiving the news from Grandma Zhan, Grandma Ge was in a very bad mood. Grandma Zhan's behavior was disrespectful to her.

But she also felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Patriarch Zhan did this for the sect and for the Northern Shu continent. In this regard, she could not blame Patriarch Zhan for anything.

If Li Shiming were captured by Tianwen Sect or Tianxing Trading Company first, then Tianxing Trading Company or Tianwen Sect, which had inherited the Dongtian inheritance, would bring unknown dangers to the Northern Shu Continent.

All Patriarch Ge could do was to keep the news secret from his disciple Yin Shilan.

Not all the Nascent Soul ancestors from the six major sects were dispatched. If they really did so, the commotion would be too big.

As usual, each sect sent out one Nascent Soul ancestor. After they joined together, Venerable Huike used "A World Away" to rush to the target location.

They moved very quickly and arrived at the area six hours after the message on the contact card was sent.

Since each communication array distributed in the Northern Shu Continent covers a large area, the area where the communication cards are located is still very large.

However, the six Nascent Soul ancestors who came this time had extremely strong detection capabilities, and with their cooperation, they soon made a discovery.

"I didn't expect Li Shiming to hide under the sea. What a genius idea!" Patriarch Lu said, looking at the sea.

Old Ancestor Zuo just looked deeply at the sea surface and didn't say anything.

Since Li Shiming's disappearance, the Shushan Sect has undergone obvious changes.

Having lost a top alchemy master, first of all the Shushan Sect's status among the major sects declined. Secondly, the Nascent Soul ancestors felt a sense of loss, a deep sense of loss.

Originally, they still had hope that as long as they obtained the fourth-grade spiritual medicine, they would be able to refine it into a fourth-grade high-level spiritual pill from Li Shiming, thereby improving their own cultivation.

However, this expectation disappeared along with their greed. They didn't know whether the top alchemy master or the cave heaven inheritance was more important.

Li Shiming will be found soon, and the Yuanying ancestors present have different thoughts.
