"Seven days. Master Li used to need ten days to complete the refining!" After Li Shiming entered the alchemy room in the cave, Patriarch Zhang Kai was still a little confused. He said to Master Jiang Hong.

"Master Li has encountered some troubles. It is normal that he does not dare to reveal too much of his alchemy ability!" Master Jiang Hong said with a smile and shook his head.

"I don't understand, Master, why would you want to invite him to join the sect? Even for you, Master, the number of places is limited!" Elder Zhang Kai still had some doubts.

"If I tell you that his alchemy skills may surpass mine in refining the fourth-grade elixir for the early Nascent Soul stage, would you believe it?" Master Jiang Hong looked at him calmly and said.

Elder Zhang Kai opened his mouth wide in disbelief.

Even when he had heard Master Jiang Hong say that Li Shiming could use spiritual fire to brew fourth-grade spiritual tea, which Master Jiang Hong could not do, he did not think that Li Shiming's alchemy skills could surpass Master Jiang Hong.

Who is Master Jiang Hong? He is one of the top three alchemy masters in the Wanshou Sect.

Even in the entire Dongqi Continent, or even the entire world of immortal cultivation, Master Jiang Hong's alchemy level is at the top.

He finally understood why Master Jiang Hong was willing to give up his own place in the sect for Li Shiming.

This quota for admission into the sect refers to the quota for non-normal admission. Normal admission means passing the sect’s entrance test and joining the sect from a young age.

The quota for joining the sect is a special case for some top talents. Not only does the person joining the sect need to be a top talent, but he or she also needs to be guaranteed by someone with an important identity in the sect.

"Master, do you think he could be a spy from another sect?" Patriarch Zhang Kai asked again.

As soon as he asked the question, he couldn't help but shook his head vigorously. He also saw that Master Jiang Hong was looking at him as if he was a fool.

Yes, with such powerful alchemy master, which force would be willing to use him as a spy? Which force would not hold him carefully in the palm of their hands for fear of any mishap?

Patriarch Yu's eyelids have been twitching these past few days, and he always feels that something is going to happen.

With his control over his body, he couldn't help but think too much when his eyelids twitched.

He thought of the two Nascent Soul ancestors of the Wanshou Sect who had gone to visit Li Shiming. They were still staying in the cave. Could something have gone wrong there?

"Go and take a look!" He was afraid that something might have happened to Li Shiming. After all, he still needed Li Shiming to help him refine the elixir.

His cave was not far from Li Shiming's cave. When he approached Li Shiming's cave, he saw Li Shiming talking and laughing with the Yuanying ancestor whom he did not know, and ancestor Zhang Kai followed behind him.

"Ancestor Yu, I'm very sorry. I have to go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Thank you for your care during this period!" After seeing Ancestor Yu, Li Shiming bowed to thank him.

Patriarch Yu was stunned when he heard this. He really wanted to use his strength to keep Li Shiming, but when he looked at the two Nascent Soul ancestors of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect beside Li Shiming, he really couldn't afford to offend them.

"Master Li, we agreed at the beginning that if you joined a large sect, Wuqingshan would only be happy for you. How could we force you to stay!" He said with a forced smile.

"Master Li told me that the Wanshou Sect will take good care of Wuqing Mountain, which can be regarded as compensation for Wuqing Mountain!" said Patriarch Zhang Kai in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhang, and thank you, Master Li!" Patriarch Yu sighed in his heart, finally he did not suffer any loss.

"Ancestor Yu, I have returned the cave to Wuqing Mountain. Please contact me if you need anything in the future!" Li Shiming handed a token to Ancestor Yu and said.

This token is the control token of the Nascent Soul level cave, and he has cleared the cave.

"Master Li, aren't you slapping me in the face? I said that this cave will belong to you forever, whether you come to live here or not!" Patriarch Yu regained his shrewdness at this time, and he said loudly.

He was very clear-headed at this time. Since Li Shiming could join the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, any previous thoughts he had were no longer important.

In the future, Li Shiming's status will become more honorable, and he will not be able to offend him.

It would be better to use our previous friendship to establish a long-term relationship. Maybe I can ask Li Shiming for help in the future.

"Okay, maybe I can be useful!" Li Shiming smiled and put away the token.

He thought of his clone Li Yuanba and Venerable Hui Jing. Perhaps they would be able to use this cave in the future. Besides, this place could also be a place for him to stay.

As for whether Patriarch Yu would go back on his words, Patriarch Yu said this in front of Patriarch Zhang Kai and Master Jiang Hong. If he dared to go back on his words, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect would not agree.

Patriarch Zhang Kai took out a flying boat, let Li Shiming and Master Jiang Hong get in, and then left Wuqing Mountain on the flying boat.

In the flying boat, Master Jiang Hong was a little absent-minded, and most of his mind was focused on the jade bottle in his hand.

There are three 'Great Sun Qi-combining Pills' in the jade bottle. The quality of these three fourth-grade elixirs is just a little bit away from reaching the advanced level.

He could no longer see any problem with a fourth-grade elixir of this quality, but he always felt that it was too coincidental.

The fourth-grade intermediate detoxifying elixir that Li Shiming had refined before had just one more strand of primary quality to reach the intermediate quality. Now it was just one strand away from reaching the advanced quality. It all felt a little weird.

But no matter what, the level of alchemy demonstrated by Li Shiming now has surpassed his.

Of course, Master Jiang Hong’s true alchemy ability is not comparable to Li Shiming’s. He can refine fourth-grade elixirs of all realms, while Li Shiming can only refine fourth-grade elixirs of the early Nascent Soul stage.

This is determined by the state of mind and is also an objective reality.

Although many alchemy masters have a large number of elixirs, they are stuck in the late stage of golden elixir throughout their lives and cannot make any further progress.

Advancing to the Nascent Soul stage is not just about relying on Nascent Soul resources. There are many conditions for promotion, and it is almost impossible to be promoted. There are also great risks in the promotion process, making it extremely difficult to become a Nascent Soul.

Master Jiang Hong thought of this and glanced at Li Shiming. He couldn't help but smile. The possibility of Li Shiming being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage was higher than that of any other elder because Li Shiming was too young.

Being young means having more time to try new things, which means you have excellent talent in cultivation.

Li Shiming was in a very uneasy mood, even though he knew that once he joined the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, the stronger his alchemy skills were, the more attention he would receive.

But he was a little scared. He didn't want to reveal that he was Li Shiming from the Northern Shu Continent, because that would also expose the fact that he had obtained the Dongtian inheritance.

He had been betrayed by the sect before and didn't want to be betrayed again.

He didn't want to use benefits to test the monks of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, because human greed is the most vulnerable to the test.

"Master Li, after you join the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, you can go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave to choose a spirit beast. Spirit beasts are our best friends!" Patriarch Zhang Kai said to Li Shiming with a smile.

"What I am considering right now is advancement to the Nascent Soul stage. I'll talk about other things after the advancement!" Li Shiming said with a smile and shook his head.

He had heard of the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven. He had seen the magic of the cave heaven. The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect actually owned a cave heaven, or perhaps more than one.

He has spiritual beasts, and although he is very curious about the Cave of All Beasts, he is very clear about his current situation, and he should focus his greatest energy on promotion.

All other things must give way to the promotion to the Nascent Soul stage. After he is promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, he may go to the Cave Heaven of Ten Thousand Beasts.

"Don't try to persuade Master Li. I see that Master Li's whole body energy has reached the peak of the Golden Elixir. Master Li cannot be distracted at the moment!" Master Jiang Hong interrupted at this time.

"That's true. Master Li will probably not have many opportunities to fight in the future!" Elder Zhang Kai thought of Li Shiming's identity as an alchemy master and responded with a smile.

The flying boat took several hours to get within a thousand miles of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. When entering the thousand-mile range, Li Shiming felt as if his body had passed through a membrane.

He was 100% sure that this was definitely not the effect of the formation.

As a master of formations, he has this confidence.

"Master Li felt it?" Master Jiang Hong glanced at Li Shiming and asked with a smile.

Through Li Shiming's performance, Master Jiang Hong knew that Li Shiming could not be from a large sect, otherwise he would not be so surprised.

This made him feel a lot more at ease. If Li Shiming really was a traitor from a big sect, there might still be some trouble in the future.

The Shushan Sect can be called a large sect in the Northern Shu Continent, but it cannot be considered a large sect at all in the Eastern Qi Continent. Not to mention a large sect, it can barely be considered a medium-sized sect.

Therefore, Master Jiang Hong’s guess was not wrong. Li Shiming was indeed not from a big sect.

As long as Li Shiming is not from a big sect, Master Jiang Hong will not care about Li Shiming's previous background, and will not care if Li Shiming's previous sect comes to him.

"Just now I felt like I passed through something, what was that?" Li Shiming asked curiously.

His drone satellite had an accident when it was approaching a range of one thousand miles. Now he has made new discoveries, so he is particularly curious about what happened.

"This is an application of the cave heaven. It drives the cave heaven left by the predecessors in a certain way to form a spatial isolation within a certain range where the sect is located. Of course, there are some other defensive capabilities. When you join the sect, you will be able to access more information!" Master Jiang Hong explained with a smile.

Li Shiming's eyes flashed. The cave heaven could be used in this way. It seemed that his decision to join the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was the right one.

He has his own cave heaven, and his understanding of the cave heaven comes from a small amount of knowledge from the Tianwen Sect.

How could the Tianwen Sect be compared with the Wanshou Sect? At least the drone satellite did not encounter any trouble when approaching the mountain gate of a medium-sized sect.

"Are there many caves?" Li Shiming seized the rare opportunity and asked again.

“How could there be many? Unless a powerful person dies, the cave heaven will never be open. And when a powerful person dies, only a few choose to leave the cave heaven behind. Many powerful people are unwilling to leave the cave heaven behind even if it means destroying it along with themselves.” Master Jiang Hong shook his head and replied.

Li Shiming did not ask more questions. He also discovered that Master Jiang Hong's answers were all reserved.

Perhaps there are some restrictions on the knowledge about the cave heaven, and he can only access it after joining the sect.

The speed of the flying boat slowed down, and Li Shiming saw the mountain gate of the Wanshou Sect, with mountain peaks suspended in the clouds.

It was real suspension, Li Shiming could even see the bottom of the mountain clearly.

"Every rising mountain here represents a Nascent Soul cultivator. The caves of other cultivators can only be built on the mountains on the ground!" Elder Zhang Kai introduced to Li Shiming.

How many Nascent Soul ancestors are needed?

Li Shiming took a quick look and counted that there were sixty-five mountains suspended in the air.

In other words, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect had at least sixty-five Nascent Soul ancestors, a number that still surprised him.

How many resources are needed to support sixty-five Nascent Soul ancestors?

"There are still some Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect who do not live in the sect. They need to be stationed at some important resource points." Just as he was thinking about it, Patriarch Zhang Kai continued.

"If everything goes well, with your treatment, you may be able to own a rising mountain in the Jindan stage!" Master Jiang Hong said with a smile at this time.

Li Shiming did not feel strange. The alchemy masters who could refine fourth-grade elixirs were treated as those in the early Nascent Soul stage in all forces.

"Master Li, please follow me!" Master Jiang Hong waved to Li Shiming and said.

He flew out of the flying boat, Li Shiming waved goodbye to ancestor Zhang Kai, and also flew out of the flying boat.

Li Shiming followed Master Jiang Hong and flew towards a floating mountain.

Master Jiang Hong cast a spell, and when he flew to the floating mountain, the mountain's formation automatically opened, allowing him and Li Shiming to enter.

Li Shiming was in shock at this time. When he flew out of the flying boat, he found that the concentration of spiritual energy was almost twice that of the first layer of spiritual energy in Wuqing Mountain.

When he flew into the floating mountain, he found that the concentration of spiritual energy increased again, and it was almost the same as the spiritual energy in his Nascent Soul level cave.

This was before he actually entered the place where the spiritual energy was the most concentrated. There was such spiritual energy on the outskirts of the mountain. The concentration of the spiritual energy here was far beyond his imagination.

"This is the location of the sect master's cave. On weekdays, the sect handles sect affairs here!" Master Jiang Hong flew towards a palace-like building on the mountainside and introduced it to Li Shiming as he flew.

Li Shiming not only saw the palace on the mountainside, but also the buildings on the top of the mountain. According to the tradition of the immortal cultivation world, the top of the mountain is where the sect's cave is located.

"Master Jiang, come in!" a clear female voice came.

Master Jiang Hong descended toward a rooftop on the upper floor of the palace, and Li Shiming quickly followed suit.

Master Jiang Hong walked across the rooftop in front, a door on the rooftop opened, and he entered the gate.

Li Shiming felt a little nervous. In his perception, the entire palace was a magic weapon. He had seen this method before. It was very similar to the mountain-type magic weapon he had refined.

However, the palace was refined by using a small amount of materials, and then enlarging it for use through a special method.

Otherwise, with the fourth-grade materials of this palace, no matter how wealthy the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is, it would not be able to come up with so many fourth-grade materials to build a palace. But even so, it is extremely exaggerated.

Even if you use a small amount of fourth-grade materials, you will need a lot of fourth-grade materials to build a small palace. Li Shiming has never seen such a scale before.
