Li Shiming found the library belonging to the Nascent Soul stage based on the map in the identity jade disc.
When he entered the library, his identity jade disc was scanned by a wave of formation, and the formation guarding the library was automatically activated, allowing him to enter.
Different from ordinary libraries, the Yuanying stage library is not a library where only contribution points can be exchanged for certain secret techniques. Except for some sect inherited techniques, the rest of the classics can be viewed at will as long as the authority is sufficient.
The status of Yuanying stage cultivators in the Wanshou Sect is already high-level, so there is no need to worry about their loyalty to the sect.
In addition, Nascent Soul cultivators have a longer lifespan. According to their personal preferences, they will learn various secondary jobs. At the same time, they also need a large number of classics to broaden their horizons and better enhance their understanding of the Nascent Soul stage.
As soon as Li Shiming entered the Yuanying Stage Library, he was stunned. He did not expect that the Yuanying Stage Library would look like this.
The library was arranged into a space formation. The space inside was as large as three football fields, and the height was inestimable.
The reason why he couldn't estimate it was that his authority only allowed him to see the early stage of the Nascent Soul, and he couldn't see the middle and late stages of the Nascent Soul.
But just the part at the early stage of Nascent Soul is more than thirty meters high.
The interior of the library is a round, tower-like building, with grids densely packed from bottom to top. There are labels on the grids indicating the type of books inside.
These grids are densely packed and cover the entire four walls.
Li Shiming stood on the ground, looking at the honeycomb-like grids. There was a classic book in each grid.
He couldn't imagine how the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect had collected so many classics.
Compared with the classics here, the library of Shushan Sect and Senluo Sect is like the contrast between a large library and a small bookstall.
His eyes couldn't help but light up. This was his biggest gain from coming to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
However, there are rules here. The use of mental projection abilities is not allowed. If you want to read a book, you can only look at it closely, grid by grid.
This is normal. Except for the special Jindan cultivator like Li Shiming, all the others who can come here are Yuanying cultivators.
With the ability of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it is not a problem to read many classics at the same time, otherwise it will greatly affect the reading of other cultivators.
Reading one classic book at a time will not have much impact on other monks, and the utilization rate of the classics here will be higher.
When he came in, there were already four Nascent Soul early stage cultivators here. After noticing him coming in, they all paid attention to him.
If this wasn't a library and it wasn't inconvenient to disturb them, they would have come over to have a conversation with Li Shiming.
Being able to enter here as a Jindan-stage cultivator must be a cultivator with special abilities and is given special attention by the sect.
The four early Nascent Soul cultivators had never seen Li Shiming before, so they were even more curious about him.
Li Shiming first observed the situation of the classics in the library and found that it contained almost everything.
From mining, weapon refining, sword refining, spirit butchering, medicinal food, planting, alchemy, animal taming, spirit raising, soul refining, talisman refining, armor refining, spirit writing, spirit inspection, formation deployment, spell attachment and so on, it can be said that as long as there is a profession that has appeared in the world of immortal cultivation, there is a corresponding book here.
He first went to the formation area and took out a jade slip from the bottom grid.
He placed the jade slip on his forehead and could not release his spiritual thoughts. He could only read the contents of the jade slip in this way.
In a moment, the life magic weapon IBMz15 copied the contents of the jade slip into the starlight sea of the formation.
Above his head, a sea of starlight emerged, with a star lighting up at the edge. This was the manifestation of the formation knowledge he had just obtained from the jade slip within the sea of starlight.
"It turns out to be the formation master!" The early Nascent Soul cultivator who was paying attention to him withdrew his attention. Although the formation master is very important, a formation master in the Golden Core stage is not worthy of the Nascent Soul cultivator's attention.
Since a Jindan-stage formation master is unable to use fourth-grade formation materials to refine a fourth-grade formation plate, it is better for a Yuanying-stage cultivator to ask a Yuanying-stage formation master to take action.
There are many more formation masters than alchemy masters, which is probably related to the rarity of spiritual fire.
As long as one has the qualifications for formation, a formation master can be trained after a long period of study.
Even if a master alchemist has the qualifications, he still needs to be lucky enough to obtain spiritual fire. Otherwise, even if he has the qualifications, he cannot become an alchemist, let alone a master alchemist.
Li Shiming had no idea that his absorption of formation knowledge had caused misunderstandings among other early Nascent Soul cultivators.
He put the jade slip back and picked up another one.
Since the jade slips in this formation area were all new knowledge to him, his formation starlight sea opened up another galaxy.
He learned very quickly, but the Nascent Soul cultivators did not pay attention to him and did not notice the constant changes in his formation, the Sea of Starlight.
He absorbed the knowledge of formations eagerly. Just the number of jade slips containing formation knowledge was so large that, at his speed of reading one slip at a time by counting his breaths, it would probably take him more than a month to scan them all into the formation starlight sea.
The main reason is that I can’t use my divine sense. If I could use my divine sense, I could finish reading the jade slips about formations in one day.
He stayed in the library for ten hours before he finally came to his senses from his excitement.
He felt that he could not do this. He had to use his time wisely. Absorbing knowledge was important, but the library was right here and he would have plenty of time in the future.
He would come for a few hours when he was free in the future. The most important thing for him now was not to absorb knowledge, but to refine pills to obtain more resources for advancement to the Nascent Soul stage.
Having more resources for advancement to the Nascent Soul stage, as well as participating in the opening of the Green Field Cave Heaven through the Stepping Cloud Order, are all guarantees for his advancement to the Nascent Soul stage.
He looked up the purchasing power of contribution points and found that the two thousand contribution points he had obtained could only be exchanged for two resources for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. It seemed like a loss and it would be better to earn more by refining the medicine privately.
However, once he accepts the task of refining medicine for the sect, he will be able to obtain fourth-grade high-level elixirs, and even have the opportunity to obtain fourth-grade top-level elixirs, which is incomparable to refining medicine for private purposes.
In addition to exchanging resources, contribution points can also be exchanged for inherited skills, and are an important basis for improving authority.
"Uncle Master Song!" When Li Shiming returned to the cave, he saw Uncle Master Song who was waiting for him outside the mountain.
"Master Li, I heard that you have completed the sect's mission, so I would like to ask you to refine a few more elixirs for me!" Uncle Song said politely.
In order to ask Li Shiming to refine the elixir, he collected three Nascent Soul resources in the past four months. He used one Nascent Soul resource to open the furnace three times, which was just enough to use up all the fourth-grade elixirs he had in hand.
"No problem, I just happen to be free!" Li Shiming agreed with a smile when he heard that there were resources for advancement to the Nascent Soul stage.
Uncle Song took out three resources for advancement to the Nascent Soul stage, two of which Li Shiming did not have, and the other was the 'Ten Thousand Years Lightning-Struck Wood Juice'.
Uncle Song looked at Li Shiming with some trepidation. He also knew that the 'Ten Thousand Years Lightning Struck Wood Juice', a resource for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, could only be used once, and any more would be useless.
He just wanted to give it a try. Anyway, Li Shiming only talked about the resources for advancement to the Nascent Soul stage, and did not stipulate whether it could not be repeated.
"According to the rules I set, the reward here is enough to open the furnace nine times!" Li Shiming had no objection and said as he put away the three resources for promotion to the Nascent Soul stage.
"Here are nine portions of elixir. Thank you, Master Li!" Upon hearing this, Uncle Song quickly took out the prepared elixir and said.
Li Shiming sent Master Song away. He would not have to accept any more alchemy missions for the next few months. It would take four months to refine nine furnaces of fourth-grade elixirs.
He is not famous at present, as he knows too few monks in the sect.
No one knows where Patriarch Zhang Kai has gone recently and has not come to see him. Master Jiang Hong will not ask him to make pills. It can be said that Uncle Song is his only customer at present.
But in the following months, he didn't expect that his reputation would quickly spread.
The reason for this was that he refined eighteen fourth-grade intermediate elixirs for the sect, and the sect used nine of them to pay the Nascent Soul cultivators for their mission.
Among them, a Nascent Soul cultivator named Bao Da, after obtaining three fourth-grade intermediate elixirs, discovered that the quality of these three fourth-grade intermediate elixirs was surprisingly high. The three fourth-grade intermediate elixirs were only a little bit away from reaching the level of high-level elixirs.
The most important thing is that the quality of the three fourth-grade intermediate elixirs is exactly the same.
Out of curiosity, he contacted the other two Nascent Soul cultivators who had received rewards, and found out that the rewards for the tasks in their hands were fourth-grade elixirs, which were also fourth-grade intermediate elixirs of the same quality.
Through his connections, he soon found out the person who refined this batch of fourth-grade intermediate elixirs, a master alchemist named Li Shizhen.
Master Li spent four months to complete the sect's alchemy task of making nine furnaces of fourth-grade elixirs, and the quality was so stable that it was terrifying.
This frequency of alchemy can also ensure the success rate and quality of alchemy, which is far superior to other alchemy masters in the sect.
At first, only Patriarch Bao Da knew about it. Later, in order to verify the quality of the fourth-grade intermediate elixir, the other two Nascent Soul ancestors who had not noticed it at first also knew about it.
If only one person knew about it, like Uncle Song, he would keep the secret secretly, and at least would not tell other cultivators until he gained enough benefits.
But if the three of them knew, then the news would be out of control.
In just a few days, almost all the active Nascent Soul cultivators in the Wanshou Sect knew that there was a Master Li who had extremely high alchemy skills.
Because Li Shiming took over the alchemy business from Uncle Song, he was in seclusion in the mountain and was not disturbed by the Nascent Soul ancestors.
Another four months passed. One day, Uncle Song stood outside the mountain. Beside him were three Nascent Soul cultivators, including Grandmaster Bao Da.
Uncle Master Song had not concealed the fact that he had asked Li Shiming to refine the elixir, so the Nascent Soul cultivators had found out about it and knew that today was the day that Li Shiming would deliver the fourth-grade elixir.
That is to say, many Nascent Soul cultivators had things to do, so there were only three Nascent Soul cultivators guarding outside the mountain.
Li Shiming's mountain formation was activated, and he also discovered that there were four Nascent Soul cultivators outside. He invited the four Nascent Soul cultivators to come in.
He invited the four Nascent Soul cultivators to sit in the pavilion, and he did not take out the fourth-grade spiritual tea. If a cultivator came to ask for elixir, he would have used the fourth-grade spiritual tea to entertain him. He really could not afford it.
Besides, they came with a request and didn’t care about the hospitality.
He looked at Uncle Master Song. He thought that it was Uncle Master Song who introduced him, and he felt somewhat grateful to Uncle Master Song in his heart.
He was thinking about how to increase the customer base when customers came to him.
"Uncle Master Song, this is your fourth-grade elixir!" He handed the jade bottle to Uncle Master Song and said.
Uncle Song carefully took the jade bottle. When he saw the fourth-grade elixir in the jade bottle, he could no longer hide the smile on his face.
Even though he had asked Li Shiming to refine three furnaces of fourth-grade elixirs before and knew of Li Shiming's alchemy ability, this time it was nine furnaces of fourth-grade elixirs, which was all his accumulation in the past ten years.
Patriarch Bao Da didn't even need to know the quality of the fourth-grade elixir in the jade bottle. Just by looking at Uncle Song's expression, he knew that the quality of the fourth-grade elixir would not be bad.
"Master Li, I don't know how I should thank you. It is a blessing for us to have a master of alchemy like you. In the next few years, I will go out to accept tasks in exchange for fourth-grade alchemy materials. I will have to trouble you then!" Uncle Song put away the jade bottle and bowed.
Although Li Shiming's remuneration is very high, it is indeed cost-effective.
"Just remember to pay me!" Li Shiming smiled and nodded. He turned to look at the other three Nascent Soul cultivators and asked, "What do you three uncles want to talk to me about?"
"Master Li, I'm here to ask for elixir!" Patriarch Bao Da spoke first.
Li Shiming was not surprised at all. It would be surprising if he came to ask for something else.
"Do you know my rules?" Li Shiming glanced at Uncle Song, then asked Patriarch Bao Da.
"Master Li only accepts resources for advancement to the Nascent Soul stage as payment for alchemy, and it has been prepared long ago!" Patriarch Bao Da said with a smile.
The reason why he spoke first was that he wanted to ask Li Shiming to make the elixir first.
He knew very well that once Li Shiming's alchemy ability spread, even if the reward Li Shiming offered was difficult to deal with, more and more Nascent Soul cultivators would seek Li Shiming out for alchemy.
The three alchemy masters in the sect who are most confident in refining the fourth-grade elixir for the early Nascent Soul stage rarely accept alchemy tasks. They all have higher aspirations and want to improve their alchemy skills. Most of their time they are conducting alchemy research.
They mostly refine pills, and they are also refining fourth-grade elixirs for the middle and late Nascent Soul stage. It is somewhat difficult for cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage to ask them to refine pills.
As for other alchemy masters, Patriarch Bao Da doesn't want to take a chance. Being able to make a full pill is already a lucky thing, not to mention ensuring the quality of a fourth-grade elixir.
Each of the fourth-grade elixir and fourth-grade demon pill in his hand was hard-earned, and he didn't want to waste any of them.
"Master Li, these are five resources for advancement to the Nascent Soul stage. Please check if they are qualified?" Patriarch Bao Da took out five jade boxes and placed them in front of Li Shiming and said.
His action startled the other two Nascent Soul cultivators, and they all cast dissatisfied glances at him.
