The time for Li Shiming to enter the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts was set at three months later, which gave him time to refine the third-grade Spirit Beast Enhancement Pill.
In fact, he didn't need that long, but Master Jiang Hong was doing it for his own good, asking him to refine as many third-grade Spirit Beast Enhancement Pills as possible and select the highest quality ones from them.
He accepted Master Jiang Hong's kindness. He happened to have two fourth-grade alchemy furnaces, so he planned to try to refine the third-grade Spirit Beast Enhancement Pill and the fourth-grade Spirit Pill for the middle stage of the Nascent Soul at the same time.
He exchanged the auxiliary materials of the third-grade spirit beast enhancement pill from the sect, especially the added spiritual medicine, which was the key to absorbing the spirit beast of the Phoenix clan's bloodline.
In the days that followed, he began to make elixirs.
In the computer room, the 'Nanming Lihuo' was burning in the fourth-grade Lihuo Dan Ding.
The first time he used the 'Nanming Lihuo' to make an elixir was when he made a fourth-grade elixir for the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
It's not that he is careless, but after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, his ability to control the 'Nanming Fire' has reached an extremely strong level. He has 100% confidence that he can use the 'Nanming Fire' to replace the Chiyang Spirit Fire.
The computer room itself was not very large, so he put things that needed to be cleaned into the mustard seed ring which he used as a warehouse.
The fourth-grade Lihuo Dan Ding and the fourth-grade Huofeng Treasure Ding were placed side by side. Li Shiming used one of his brains to control the fourth-grade Huofeng Treasure Ding to refine the third-grade Lingshou Zengyuan Dan.
As for the fourth-grade Lihuo Dan Ding, the Fire Thunder Nascent Soul entered into the body of the Nascent Soul of the Living Dead, and controlled the Nascent Soul's body in the air of the machine room to refine the elixir.
The living dead with the Nascent Soul body originally specialized in the magical power of "Nanming Lihuo". Borrowing the body of the living dead with the Nascent Soul body to refine the elixir makes it easier to control the "Nanming Lihuo".
It took a full eighteen days to refine a fourth-grade elixir for the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Now he finally understood why the reward was so high. If his spirit had not been strong enough, the mental exhaustion of eighteen days alone would have been enough for him to rest for a long time.
However, it was very easy to refine the third-grade Spirit Beast Enhancement Pill. He easily refined a hundred furnaces and harvested ten third-grade top-level Spirit Beast Enhancement Pills.
As for those third-grade high-level spirit beast enhancement pills, he would not give them out, mainly because their quality was too high.
This kind of elixir that has reached its theoretical limit can easily cause trouble.
This was the experience he gained in the Northern Shu Continent. He was now much more restrained and would not expose all of his alchemy abilities.
When it was nearly three months, he put six Nascent Soul Stage 4 elixirs into a jade bottle. In fact, he only opened one furnace of Nascent Soul Stage 4 elixirs during these three months and refined six Nascent Soul Stage 4 intermediate elixirs.
This was because he intentionally limited the quality of the fourth-grade elixir of the middle Nascent Soul stage. Otherwise, with his alchemy ability, he would have directly refined the fourth-grade elixir of the middle Nascent Soul stage into a high-level elixir.
As for the materials for the other three fourth-grade elixirs for the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, he kept them.
Master Jiang Hong attaches great importance to Li Shiming. He and Feng Lanxin are waiting for Li Shiming together. Today is the day when Li Shiming will enter the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts.
After the last gathering, he learned that Feng Lanxin’s identity was not simple.
Feng Lanxin uses Feng as her last name, and there is a reason for that. The Feng family is a core member of the Feng lineage of the Wanshou Sect, and they are core members that have stood for ten thousand years.
Feng Lanxin intended to win over Li Shiming, and Li Shiming could also feel it.
"Master Li, how is the refining of the Feifeng Yuanyang Pill going?" Master Jiang Hong asked with great concern.
Feng Lanxin also looked at Li Shiming with concern. Li Shiming's alchemy ability would affect Li Shiming's status in the Phoenix lineage and in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
It also determines how the Phoenix lineage will treat Li Shiming. There is no love or hate without reason in the world of immortal cultivation. It is normal that only those who are valuable will be valued.
"The first batch of refining failed, but after that I summed up the experience, the next three batches of Feifeng Yuanyang Dan were successful!" Li Shiming said with a smile as he took out a jade bottle and handed it over.
He said this intentionally. If he really said that he succeeded by refining only one furnace of 'Fei Feng Yuan Yang Dan', and also used the 'One Hundred and One Points Pill Art' to produce double the 'Fei Feng Yuan Yang Dan', then he would most likely be pulled over by Master Jiang Hong to be sliced and studied.
You can be one step ahead, but if you are a hundred steps ahead, then you will have the strength to protect yourself, otherwise you will be caught by others and tortured to reveal your secrets.
A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Master Jiang Hong's face. He thought about how after he was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, he stabilized his realm and began to refine the fourth-grade elixir for the middle Nascent Soul stage.
The sect also gave three sets of materials for the fourth-grade elixir of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, the Phoenix clan gave one, and the last four all failed.
It took him fifteen years to master the ability to refine the fourth-grade elixir for the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
He calmed himself down, trying not to let Li Shiming and Feng Lanxin notice anything, and took the jade bottle from Li Shiming.
After seeing the 'Fei Feng Yuan Yang Dan' in the jade bottle, Master Jiang Hong could no longer keep his expression. The expression on his face was a little shocked, a little jealous, and a little self-doubt.
"Is there a problem with the 'Fei Feng Yuan Yang Dan' refined by Master Li?" Feng Lanxin asked when she saw that Master Jiang Hong had a strange look on his face.
Master Jiang Hong handed the jade bottle to Feng Lanxin. He didn't want to speak, for fear that his words would sound wrong.
Feng Lanxin took the jade bottle. When she saw the six 'Fei Feng Yuan Yang Dan' in the jade bottle and the quality of the 'Fei Feng Yuan Yang Dan', she couldn't help but open her rosy lips in disbelief.
"Master Li, can the quality of the 'Fei Feng Yuan Yang Dan' you refined be stabilized at the intermediate quality?" She couldn't help asking.
This question is also what Master Jiang Hong is concerned about. The three alchemy masters of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect who are able to refine fourth-grade elixirs of the middle and late Nascent Soul stage can sometimes also refine fourth-grade elixirs of intermediate quality.
However, they can never achieve stable quality. Their alchemy ability can probably guarantee a 20 to 30 percent output rate of intermediate quality.
Moreover, looking at the six 'Fei Feng Yuan Yang Dan' refined by Li Shiming, the quality of each one is a little short of high-level, which is the same as the quality of the fourth-grade elixir of the early Nascent Soul stage refined by Li Shiming.
Master Jiang Hong strongly suspected that Li Shiming had some secret method to improve the quality of the elixir.
But this secret method is Li Shiming's secret, no matter how good their relationship is, it is impossible to reveal it.
"When I was refining pills, I always felt that I had reached a bottleneck. The highest quality of the pills I could make could only reach the current level, and I couldn't improve it any further!" Li Shiming said helplessly, shaking his head.
Feng Lanxin didn't know what to say. She always felt that Li Shiming was showing off.
Master Jiang Hong wanted to hit someone, this was a fourth-grade elixir for the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Li Shiming's alchemy ability was definitely the best in the sect in refining fourth-grade elixir for the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
If Li Shiming could refine a fourth-grade elixir of the same quality in the late Nascent Soul stage in the future, he would be known as the number one alchemy master of the Wanshou Sect.
"Master Li, are you ready to enter the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts?" Feng Lanxin handed the jade bottle back to Li Shiming and changed the subject.
"I'm ready. Is there anything else you need to pay attention to?" Li Shiming nodded and asked.
"You have the identity jade disc of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. As long as you do not actively attack the spirit beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave, you will not be in danger. But you must never try to contract an adult spirit beast, and don't kill any spirit beast. The spirit beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave are all important assets of the sect!" Feng Lanxin explained seriously.
The most important thing for entering the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts is opportunity. There are not many things she can explain. Everything depends on the opportunity Li Shiming has after entering the cave.
"Master Li will take Junior Sister Feng to the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts. I have to report Master Li's matter, so I won't go with you!" Master Jiang Hong said goodbye.
After saying that, he turned and left. Feng Lanxin looked at his background with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
Li Shiming was somewhat helpless, he practiced telepathy, although with his mind he could not listen to Master Jiang Hong's inner voice, but he could still sense the changes in Master Jiang Hong's emotions.
In order to fulfill his own plan, he had to show some ability in alchemy. However, after he actually showed his ability, he aroused the jealousy of Master Jiang Hong, which he did not expect.
He didn't want to do this, as Master Jiang Hong had done him a favor.
"Forget it, let him be. I hope we don't become enemies!" he thought to himself.
"Master Li, follow me!" Feng Lanxin said with a smile.
Under the leadership of Feng Lanxin, Li Shiming came to a valley. After passing through a series of formation scans, he finally entered the valley.
As soon as he entered the valley, he sensed a powerful aura, which was the aura of a great monk.
It is normal for such an important Cave of Beasts to be guarded by a great monk.
"Master Hu, Lan Xin brings here the new Nascent Soul cultivator Li Shizhen!" Feng Lan Xin bowed and saluted towards the void.
With Feng Lanxin's realm, Grandmaster Hu, who is called the Grandmaster, is probably the oldest and most senior among all the cultivators in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
Li Shiming did not dare to offend in the slightest. He also bowed and saluted to express his respect.
"Girl Lanxin, you seldom bring people here. It seems that the Feng faction has produced another genius!" The voice of the great monk Hu was very calm, as if he was Feng Lanxin's elder.
"Li Shizhen is a master of alchemy!" Feng Lanxin started to introduce him. After thinking for a while, it seemed that it was not enough, so she added: "The master of alchemy with the best alchemy ability!"
It seemed that the additional sentence had worked. Li Shiming's eyes blurred and a figure appeared in front of him.
Monk Hu was the oldest monk Li Shiming had ever seen. His face was full of wrinkles, and his hair and beard were completely white.
However, his eyes were as clear as a spring, completely different from his appearance and age.
"Finally, there is another alchemy master who can refine elixirs for the middle and late stages of the Nascent Soul. When your alchemy ability stabilizes, I will ask you to help me refine the elixirs!" Great Monk Hu looked at Li Shiming and said with a little joy in his tone.
During his life, many alchemy masters appeared.
However, there are not many alchemy masters who have both the talent for cultivation and can survive the heavenly tribulation and advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
The level of the three alchemy masters who are now able to refine fourth-grade elixirs for the late Nascent Soul stage is not up to his expectations.
None of the three alchemy masters could guarantee a perfect pill, let alone the quality of the finished pill.
If Master Hu wants to go one step further and touch the threshold of Mahayana, he will need a more capable alchemy master.
He knew that Feng Lanxin would not say anything nonsense in front of him. Since Feng Lanxin said so, Li Shizhen's alchemy ability must be extremely strong, even surpassing the three alchemy masters.
"Master Hu, Master Li can ensure that each furnace of fourth-grade elixirs for the middle Nascent Soul stage reaches intermediate quality. Once he becomes familiar with it for a while, he will be able to try to refine fourth-grade elixirs for the late Nascent Soul stage. I think the quality will not be much worse. He has acquired such elixir-refining ability just after being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage!" Feng Lanxin introduced proudly.
Li Shiming is a master of alchemy from the Phoenix lineage, and she has no competitive relationship with Li Shiming in alchemy. The higher Li Shiming's alchemy ability is, the more valuable he is to the Phoenix lineage.
"Let me see the elixir you made!" Monk Hu said to Li Shiming.
As a great cultivator, already the top existence in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, he speaks in a very direct way.
"Please give me some advice, Master Hu!" Li Shiming took out the jade bottle again and handed it over.
Monk Hu did not take the jade bottle. He just scanned it with his spiritual sense and a smile appeared on his face.
His smile on his wrinkled face was like a blooming flower.
"Master Li, when you are sure, come to me to get the materials. I have great confidence in you!" He nodded and said with a smile.
It was not until this time that he called Li Shiming "Master", which shows that he recognized Li Shiming's alchemy ability.
"Yes, Master Hu!" Li Shiming bowed and responded.
"If you want to enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, this will be of some help to you!" Monk Hu thought for a while, took out a piece of debris from his body and handed it to Li Shiming.
Li Shiming took the fragment respectfully. It was a piece of eggshell.
The eggshell fragments carried a very special aura, which he had sensed on the bodies of the Phoenix clan's spirit pets. This was the aura of the Phoenix clan's bloodline, and this Phoenix clan bloodline was extremely pure.
I think this eggshell fragment should be the eggshell of a phoenix pet. Holding it in your hand should be able to better attract the phoenix pet.
"Master Hu, you are really generous. This is a fragment of the eggshell of a scarlet-gold phoenix!" Feng Lanxin said with envy. Then she turned to Li Shiming and said, "Master Li, why don't you thank Master Hu quickly? With this fragment of the scarlet-gold phoenix eggshell in your hand, you will be able to attract more Phoenix pets. You may even be able to contract a scarlet-gold phoenix!"
Although she said that she could contract a red-gold phoenix, she also knew that this was just an exaggeration.
There are very few red-gold phoenixes in the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts, and the red-gold phoenix is an immortal life form. It will only transform into a red-gold phoenix egg when it is reincarnated.
In the history of the sect, there were only less than five cultivators who were fortunate enough to make a contract with the Red-Gold Phoenix, and three of these five cultivators reached the realm of great cultivators, which was not unrelated to their contract with the Red-Gold Phoenix.
"Thank you, Master Hu!" Only then did Li Shiming realize the preciousness of the fragment of the red-gold phoenix eggshell in his hand. He bowed and expressed his gratitude.
