On the second day in Green Field Cave, Li Shiming harvested six spiritual herbs, on the third day he harvested seven spiritual herbs, and on the fourth day he harvested five spiritual herbs.
Maybe it was luck, but he hadn’t met any other Jindan cultivators in four days.
Of course, he did encounter such cases. He saw the body of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core. He didn't know who had killed him, and the space ring on his body was gone.
Considering the danger level of Green Field Cave, the safety of late Jindan cultivators is higher. Unless middle Jindan cultivators have some powerful means, they will not be able to deal with even the spirit beasts guarding the spiritual medicine here.
"Why bother!" Li Shiming shook his head and did not collect the body of the mid-stage Jindan cultivator.
It was the fifth day, and the silver corpses were still searching in a row with him. With the experience of searching in the past few days, it became easier for him to control the silver corpses.
A silver corpse was walking when it suddenly heard the sound of fighting ahead.
The grass in the Green Field Cave Heaven is too strange. Normally, the fluctuations of spiritual power generated by the battles of Jindan monks should be sensed from a long distance.
However, in this cave, the battle waves could not be transmitted very far due to the isolation of the grass. In addition, there were grass as high as a person from time to time, which blocked the line of sight. That meant that the situation could only be discovered when one was very close.
This silver corpse had three heads and six arms. After hearing the sound of fighting, it moved towards the direction of the fight under the control of Li Shiming's brain and notified the Phantom Dragon at the same time.
The Phantom Dragon is a combat support. The bushes and its stealth ability make this Green Cave particularly suitable for it.
A late Jindan cultivator was fighting with a third-grade lizard. It was not quite accurate to say that they were fighting. The Jindan cultivator was intentionally leading the third-grade lizard to retreat while fighting.
Just when the third-grade lizard walked to a place, he activated the hidden formation plate, and the sudden formation trapped the third-grade lizard.
The late Jindan cultivator smiled triumphantly. He was just about to collect elixirs when he saw a silver corpse.
Something unexpected happened to Li Shiming. After seeing the silver corpse, this late Jindan cultivator retreated without any hesitation, even leaving the formation plate behind.
Li Shiming was a little puzzled. He didn't know why this late Jindan cultivator would be frightened away by a silver corpse.
He still underestimated his own silver corpse. His silver corpse was at a level comparable to that of the Great Elder, and a silver corpse of this level could only be cultivated by the Great Elder.
There are only three great elders who entered the Green Field Cave Heaven this time, and each of them is not someone that this late Jindan cultivator can deal with.
One is Wei Long, the grand elder of Taichu Sect, one is Gong You, the grand elder of Wanshou Sect, and the other is the mysterious Li Shiming, the grand elder of Lei Xiu.
The late Jindan cultivator was very decisive. Since the silver corpse was here, the silver corpse's owner, the great elder, must be nearby.
Just three breaths after he retreated, the bushes parted and the invisible phantom dragon arrived.
Li Shiming controlled the silver corpse and first collected the third-grade spiritual medicine, and then came to the formation plate to observe.
This is a third-grade array plate. The activated array has the effect of interfering with spatial energy and trapping the enemy. It seems that this array plate is specially designed to deal with the third-grade spirit beasts in the cave.
The formation activated by the formation plate cannot kill the third-grade lizard, but it is enough to trap the third-grade lizard for a period of time.
The most important thing is that the materials used in this third-grade array plate are not precious and can be used as disposable consumables.
Li Shiming did not take the formation plate. After the principle of the formation was understood through the eyes of the silver corpse, it lost its value.
He didn't need to use a formation to trap the third-grade lizard. With the support of the Phantom Dragon, it was very easy to deal with the third-grade lizard.
This was the first late Jindan cultivator to see the silver corpse retreat. In the days that followed, he had many more opportunities to meet other Jindan cultivators, sometimes meeting them two or three times a day.
It seems that this situation occurs because everyone is searching towards a central point.
Li Shiming did not encounter any opportunities to fight with the Jindan cultivators. These Jindan cultivators were extremely cautious. Whether they saw him or the silver corpse, they chose to escape.
He had no intention of chasing and killing, and now was not the time to kill.
When the last day comes, there will naturally be an opportunity to fight, and then he will not hold back.
The clone Li Yuanba maintained the state of "Scorching Sun Jade Body Technique". His skin was like jade, and combined with his handsome face, it gave people a breathtaking beauty.
He didn't maintain the 'Scorching Sun Jade Body Technique' just to look good, but he had to do so.
He had to be prepared for sneak attacks at any time, which came not only from spirit beasts but also from Jindan cultivators.
Especially starting from the seventh day, some Jindan monks hid in the bushes and launched sneak attacks.
"Rustle", the grass in front parted, and a ray of knife light slashed towards Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba reacted quickly and made a blocking action. A third-grade sword base appeared out of thin air in his hand, blocking the knife light.
With a "clang" sound, he felt his body being invaded by a huge force and he involuntarily stepped back.
As he was being repelled, he swung his sword to attack the owner of the sword light.
Xing Yijian flew with the sword intent of Zhiyang towards the enemy who had just emerged from the bushes, but was blocked by another long sword, and Xing Yijian was shocked and flew outwards.
He understood the feelings of those Jindan cultivators who fled when they saw Li Shiming. He recognized that the enemy attacking him was none other than the Blade Mantis of Great Elder Gong You, a spiritual beast of the Great Elder level.
Even a great elder who practices physical cultivation cannot compare in strength with a spirit beast of the same realm, as the physical fitness of both parties is simply not on the same level.
Of course, if it was a fair one-on-one fight, Li Yuanba was confident that he could kill the Blade Mantis with his melee ability, but it would take a long time.
But since Blade Mantis is here, Great Elder Gong You will be here soon, and he doesn't want to fight with Great Elder Gong You.
Compared with the great elders of the big sects, his strength is still somewhat insufficient.
Without any hesitation, he blocked the attack of Blade Mantis with his sword and retreated to the right.
Just as he dived into the bushes on the right, Great Elder Gong You walked out from the bushes behind him, glanced in the direction he disappeared and did not chase after him.
"You are quite cunning! I will let you live a little longer!" Elder Gong You said with a smile and shook his head.
The Blade Mantis has a talent for perception. Although it is restricted in the grass, its perception is still much stronger than that of other monks.
He arranged a pincer attack from the front and back, and if Li Yuanba chose to retreat, he would encounter him.
He was not upset about his failure. Anyway, except for a few of the strongest Jindan cultivators, the rest were helping them collect spiritual objects.
He had calculated everything. There were three altars, one was his, one was Wei Long's, and the other was Lei Xiu's Great Elder Li Shiming's.
In this way, their three strongest elders won't have to fight each other to death. The number of elders entering Green Field Cave Heaven this time is just right, so there is no need for a life-and-death competition.
Li Yuanba quickly left his previous position, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Although Li Shiming joined the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, his relationship with the sect was very weak. Besides, in order to obtain resources for the advancement to the Nascent Soul stage, he would not give up the resources even if they had the same master, let alone from the same sect.
"Young Master, please put away the elixir!" Wu Shao handed a third-grade elixir to Young Master Zhang Xian.
There was also a corpse of a third-grade spirit beast lying on the side, and its head seemed to have been smashed by something heavy. With the defensive power of the spirit beasts in the cave, even the strongest head was smashed.
Wu Shao killed the third-grade spirit beast with just one strike. His secret method was to temporarily disperse his Nascent Soul to various parts of his body, making his body similar to that of a great elder who had fully refined his body.
But in fact, he is much stronger than the Great Elder of Body Refining. Although he does not have the help of Nascent Soul, his body and the spiritual power he controls are both at Nascent Soul level.
It was precisely because he did not have a Nascent Soul that Luye Cave Heaven did not recognize him as a Nascent Soul cultivator.
With his strength, he is invincible in the Green Field Cave Heaven. Using the strength of the Nascent Soul Stage to bully the Golden Core cultivators and the third-grade spirit beasts is like an adult bullying a child.
Young Master Zhang Xian took the elixir and put it into the jade box.
"Uncle Wu, why didn't we meet many cultivators? I only picked eight spiritual herbs!" He said, still somewhat dissatisfied with his existing harvest.
"The Green Field Cave blocks our perception, so we can only search for spiritual medicine by chance. Even I don't have a good solution. But there is no need to rush. On the last day, those monks will have a lot of spiritual medicine on them. If we get rid of them all at once, they will be enough for the young master to use!" Wu Shao replied with a smile.
He has a strong belief in killing Jindan cultivators, but the problem is that he cannot expose his own Nascent Soul stage.
Once his realm is exposed and all major forces know that he has broken the rules, not to mention him, even the master will not be able to save him.
In fact, if he and Young Master Zhang Xian acted separately, they would still be able to find more elixirs, but he would not do that.
As soon as he entered the Green Field Cave, he was separated from Young Master Zhang Xian, and it took him quite some time to reunite with Young Master Zhang Xian.
The nine days were almost up, and Li Shiming sat down to rest. He had now collected a total of fifty-three spiritual herbs.
With the special energy from ten spiritual medicines as one portion, he now had five portions of special energy, which meant he had completed the initial task.
He adjusted the spiritual power in his body and practiced the 'Taiqing Xuangui Jue' to the extreme. He had collected all the silver corpses, and even the phantom dragon turned into a bracelet and returned to his wrist.
Not only him, but every living cultivator in the entire Green Field Cave Heaven was making the same preparation.
They need to be in the best condition to face possible dangers. Compared with the dangers of the previous nine days, the last day is the most dangerous.
"10, 9, 8...3, 2, 1." My natal magic weapon IBMz15 is extremely accurate in calculating time.
Just as the last number of the countdown ended, Li Shiming felt himself being enveloped by spatial energy, and a familiar feeling emerged.
When he could see again, he found himself in a circular open space with a radius of about three thousand meters, and outside the radius of three thousand meters was the grassland.
A total of fifteen Jindan cultivators were teleported here, and they appeared at the same time.
As soon as they appeared, Great Elder Wei Long and Great Elder Gong You used all their strength to attack the nearest Jindan cultivator.
Li Yuanba was some distance away from Li Shiming. His figure merged into the sword light of Xing Yijian and he used sword escape to fly towards Li Shiming.
The aura of Great Elder Lei Xiu that had long since erupted from Li Shiming caused the Jindan cultivators who were close to him to dodge.
"Ah!" Screams were heard. It was Great Elder Wei Long and Great Elder Gong You killing the Jindan monks near them.
Great Elder Wei Long was controlling a strange magic weapon that was like a silk thread. The magic weapon could extend to an extremely long length. Wherever it passed, the body of a late Jindan cultivator and the magic weapon would be cut in two.
Great Elder Gong You controlled a flying knife magic weapon himself to kill the Jindan monk. The Blade Mantis' attack speed was faster than his. It flashed by like a phantom, and a Jindan monk fell down.
Li Shiming's gaze was not focused on the two great elders. He was looking at Wu Shaochu, who he suspected to be a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Wu Shao's movements were not as loud as those of the two great elders, but his killing speed was even faster than that of the two great elders.
He caught up with the fastest fleeing Jindan monk and killed him with a silent blow. He did not use any magic weapon and just killed the Jindan monk with a single blow with his bare hands.
He rushed in another direction and killed another Jindan monk who was fleeing.
The Jindan monks present were divided into several categories. One category was like Great Elder Wei Long and Great Elder Gong You. They had absolute confidence and would immediately clear out as many Jindan monks as possible in order to obtain more elixirs.
The second category is some Jindan monks who were hoping for a lucky break. After being teleported here, they did not escape immediately but chose to wait and see.
They were thinking about whether there was a chance to gain some benefits from the chaos. You know, every Jindan cultivator here has the harvest of the past nine days in their hands. Even if they don't have the opportunity to get on the altar, it would be great to get some spiritual medicine.
The third category is the Jindan cultivators who only want to keep their own gains. As soon as they are teleported here, they want to turn around and escape.
As long as they escape to the grassland, they can rely on the isolation effect of the grass to prevent the enemy from finding them.
Wu Shao, Master Zhang Xian, and Li Shiming are a separate category. They should not appear in the Green Field Cave.
Wu Shao is a Nascent Soul cultivator, and Li Shiming is because of his own combat power. The combat power exerted by both of them at full strength is far beyond the level of the great elder.
Li Shiming stood still. He found that he didn't need to do anything himself. These Jindan cultivators who wanted to escape would never be able to escape.
Li Yuanba came to his side and they stood together.
A total of fifteen Jindan monks were teleported here, six of whom were hunters. None of the remaining nine Jindan monks could escape to the grassland. The distance of three thousand meters became a death distance.
The most terrifying one was Wu Shao. His speed was almost several times faster than other cultivators due to his extremely strong body. He chased the Jindan cultivators who were at the farthest distance, but none of them could escape.
