"Senior Sister Feng, I'm going to get the prize!" Li Shiming received a notice from the organizer and said to Feng Lanxin with a smile.

"Let's go together and see what prize you can win!" Feng Lanxin said with great interest.

It’s no wonder that Feng Lanxin was curious. With Li Shiming’s alchemy skills, he could earn a lot of money by making elixirs for any Nascent Soul cultivator.

She also wanted to know what the prize was that was enough to make Li Shiming fight for it despite being branded as a bully.

Shui Miao naturally followed and went to the alchemy competition area.

When they arrived at the place, Li Shiming handed over the invitation card, which served as proof of identity here.

"Are you Master Li Shizhen?" Master Yu looked at Li Shiming and asked.

"Master Li, this is Master Yu, the most powerful alchemist in our sect!" Shui Miao introduced Li Shiming softly. She was afraid that Li Shiming might accidentally offend this alchemist.

"Hello, Master Yu, I am Li Shizhen!" Li Shiming bowed and greeted.

"I've heard of Master Li's great name for a long time. Today I see that he is truly a gifted man!" Master Yu was not overconfident and returned the salute with praise.

He took out a jade bottle and a box that sealed the spiritual fire.

"In this jade bottle are three elixirs refined by Master Li. I give them to you together according to the rules. This is the 'Xuanyin Youhuo'. It seems that Master Li likes this 'Xuanyin Linghuo' very much!" He said with a smile as he handed the item in his hand to Li Shiming.

"Spiritual fire is rare. I have a good friend who has a good talent for alchemy, but he has never encountered the right spiritual fire, so he cannot become a master alchemist!" Li Shiming explained with a smile.

He was referring to his clone Li Yuanba. If Li Yuanba also had spiritual fire, then Li Yuanba's alchemy skills would not be much weaker than his original body.

Although Li Yuanba has no available computer room space, with the help of 'Divine Eyes', he can exert 80% of his alchemy strength, which is much higher than the alchemy level of other alchemy masters.

Li Shiming is currently refining pills for others, but he is careful to suppress his alchemy ability. It is estimated that only 80% of his alchemy strength can be used, which is stronger than the one he has exposed.

"I hope to meet your friend who you think has good talent in alchemy and will definitely become a top alchemy master in the future!" Master Yu said with a smile.

He exchanged contact information with Li Shiming and took the initiative to invite Li Shiming to attend a gathering of alchemy masters a few days later.

The day was busy but also very fulfilling.

Li Shiming returned to the temporary cave and began to check the 'Xuanyin Youhuo'.

The 'Xuanyin Youhuo' was placed in the formation in the box, and thirty-six high-quality spirit stones provided energy to allow the 'Xuanyin Youhuo' to continue to exist.

When I first saw the 'Xuanyin Youhuo', it was a grayish-white flame the size of a fingernail.

The strange thing is that this flame has no heat at all, but instead gives people a feeling of coldness.

Of course, this is just the external manifestation. If you are really burned by the 'Xuan Yin You Huo', the heat will not be low at all. It's just that the external manifestation of the 'Xuan Yin You Huo' is somewhat special.

Li Shiming did not refine the 'Xuanyin Youhuo', so he could not explore the full capabilities of the 'Xuanyin Youhuo'.

He had already decided that when he returned, he would go to the place where his clone Li Yuanba was in seclusion and deliver the "Xuanyin Youhuo" over there.

It just so happens that Li Yuanba is currently practicing in the corpse refining state, and the 'Xuanyin Youhuo' can grow together.

While Li Shiming was still resting in the temporary cave, the news that he had won the alchemy competition had already spread outside.

Originally, a champion in an alchemy competition meant nothing. This kind of competition was just a way for the Taichu Sect to take out some spiritual objects of decent quality and allow the monks participating in the event to exchange more ideas. It had nothing to do with a truly professional competition.

But after Li Shiming won the alchemy championship, the scene of him having a pleasant conversation with Master Yu was seen by other cultivators and spread.

In addition, the cultivators from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect made Li Shiming famous, allowing the cultivators participating in the event to know Li Shiming's alchemy ability.

The third day's activity was a sermon by Taichu Sect's early and middle Nascent Soul cultivators. It was divided into six halls and was carried out simultaneously. The cultivators could participate according to their preferences.

Li Shiming originally participated with interest. He also wanted to gain another enlightenment. An enlightenment could save him a hundred years of hard practice. How could he miss such a good thing?

But things were not as good as he had imagined. He did not go with Feng Lanxin, but went into the hall where a cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage was preaching.

The teachings of this middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivator were similar to those of Great Monk Qi, and focused on the doctrine of the Five Elements.

Of course, since the reputation of the cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul is far less than that of the great cultivator Qi, and due to the cultivators' own attributes, there are only more than thirty cultivators coming to this hall, and a small number of them are Golden Core cultivators.

The Jindan cultivators who can enter here are either guests of Taichu Sect or Jindan cultivators with backgrounds in Taichu Sect.

This kind of sermon is normally aimed at Nascent Soul cultivators. If a Golden Core cultivator wants to participate, it is impossible without a certain background.

When the sermon began, Li Shiming was not affected by it. He was the first one to break away from its influence.

This is not correct. It should be said that he was not affected at all by the preaching of the cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

Theoretically, as long as one actively accepts the preaching of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul with his mind, one can understand and comprehend the Five Elements of the cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. If one is unable to keep up with the progress of the preaching, one can continue to passively accept the Five Elements at the cost of consuming spirit and energy.

But the problem Li Shiming encountered was that his own understanding of the Five Elements surpassed that of this mid-Nascent Soul cultivator, while the understanding of the Five Elements he gained from Master Qi had reached the level of a great cultivator.

Li Shiming sighed helplessly in his heart. It seemed that it would be difficult to achieve enlightenment by listening to sermons in the future.

Unless there is a great monk who is greater than Master Qi to preach the Five Elements, even if Master Qi preaches again, it will not achieve the same effect as the first time.

He stood up quietly and carefully left the hall. During this process, the cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage who was preaching was almost affected and lost his preaching state.

"Master Li, why did you come out?" Shui Miao had been waiting outside. She was not waiting for Li Shiming but Feng Lanxin. When she saw Li Shiming leave the preaching hall so quickly, she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I don't know if it's because of the last time I listened to Master Qi's sermon, I can't calm down and listen to the sermon!" Li Shiming shook his head helplessly.

"I forgot that you gained such a great benefit when you listened to Master Qi's sermon last time!" Shui Miao did not feel sorry for Li Shiming, but expressed envy again.

Saving a hundred years of hard training, this alone gave Li Shiming more time to reach a higher level.

"This is the elixir I made. It's just right for you!" Li Shiming said as he took out a jade bottle and handed it over.

These are ten fourth-grade elixirs refined from five fourth-grade spiritual medicines. For these five furnaces of elixirs, Li Shiming received five fourth-grade spiritual fruits unique to the Taichu Sect, as well as a favor from Shui Miao.

Shui Miao took the jade bottle. Although she knew something about Li Shiming's alchemy ability, she still checked the fourth-grade elixir in the jade bottle.

When she saw ten Nascent Soul early stage fourth-grade intermediate elixirs in the jade bottle, she couldn't hide the joy on her face.

"Master Li, when I have elixirs in the future, I would like to ask you to help me make the pills. Is that okay?" She looked up at Li Shiming and asked.

Such a stable alchemy ability can almost guarantee the maximum utilization of fourth-grade spiritual medicines. In this respect, Li Shiming surpasses any alchemy master she knows.

"As long as I have free time, there is no problem!" Li Shiming replied with a smile.

He was very fond of the special spiritual creatures of the Taichu Sect. The rewards he got from Shui Miao were different from the rewards he got from the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Wanshou Sect.

"Thank you in advance, Master Li!" Shui Miao said with a chuckle. She thought of something and continued, "There will be several auctions tomorrow. I wonder if Master Li is interested in participating. If there are any spiritual objects to be auctioned, you need to make an appointment in advance today."

"I don't have any spiritual objects to auction, but I would like to see an auction!" Li Shiming thought for a moment and replied.

He did not need to auction off his spiritual objects. In fact, he had quite a few useless spiritual objects, but his demand for resources was not high, and he did not value the small profits from the auction.

This was his first time to attend an auction in Dongqi Continent. As Dongqi Continent had a much better cultivation environment than Beishu Continent, the quality and variety of spiritual objects at the auction must be far superior to those in Beishu Continent.

"This is the list of items currently being auctioned at the five auctions that I got!" After all, Shui Miao was a local tyrant, so he handed Li Shiming a jade slip that he had prepared long ago and said.

She didn't want to miss this opportunity to make friends with Li Shiming.

Although he has a good relationship with Feng Lanxin and can talk to Li Shiming, it is not as good as making friends with Li Shiming directly.

It also requires favors to go through Feng Lanxin. By making friends directly with Li Shiming, you don't have to use favors from Feng Lanxin.

Li Shiming took the jade slip and used his spiritual consciousness to check it out.

"I'll just participate in the main auction!" He quickly finished looking through the auction list. The only thing that interested him was the main auction, so he decided.

We cannot blame these auctions for being of low quality. In fact, apart from the main auction, the rest of the auctions are private trade fairs held by Nascent Soul cultivators, but they are hosted by cultivators.

The main auction, on the other hand, is jointly organized by the Taichu Sect and several large trading companies. Through this grand event held once every hundred years, many parties can benefit.

"Master Li, if you are short of money during the auction, remember to contact me!" Shui Miao took the initiative to say.

Li Shiming was very bored on the third day of the event. The main activity of the day was the sermons given by the monks. He was unable to concentrate on it and left immediately.

On the fourth day, the main auction was held at the top of a mountain in the middle of the three mountains open to the public in Taichu Sect.

There are a lot of monks coming today, not just those who are attending the event, but also some who come here because of its reputation. They are not qualified to attend the event, but the main auction is completely open.

This makes the mountains here seem particularly lively. There are more than three hundred Nascent Soul cultivators and thousands of Golden Core cultivators on one mountain.

Li Shiming had an invitation card, so he didn't need to wait outside like the monks who came specially to attend the auction.

With the invitation card, he has the right to enter the auction venue first.

The auction venue is huge. The space here is expanded by a space formation, and there is also an illusion formation that displays the situation on the auction table in real time. This allows the auction table to be clearly seen from every corner of the huge venue.

"Master Li, we are really destined to meet each other!" The charming voice of Mi Yi from the Yanri Sect came again.

Li Shiming saw Mi Yi and a male cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage who was standing beside Mi Yi with obvious hostility.

"Friend Daoist Mi!" Li Shiming nodded in response. He showed neither enthusiasm nor excessive coldness.

"Mu Jing meets Master Li, but I don't know whether your ability in alchemy is really as good as the rumors say, or you are just seeking fame!" The male cultivator next to Mi Yi restrained his malice and greeted him with a smile.

"Don't worry, I won't make pills for you, so you don't need to worry!" Li Shiming glanced at him and said.

It can be seen that this male cultivator named Mu Jing was bewitched by Mi Yi, which is why he behaved in such a provocative way.

Any sane monk would not provoke other monks at such an event.

You should know that none of the cultivators who can participate in such a grand event are simple. They are at least elite cultivators from large sects or major forces.

Not to mention the alchemy master like Li Shiming, Li Shiming's reputation is not that great nowadays.

If Li Shiming had more than a hundred years of experience in alchemy, he would have had friends all over the world. Just because of Mu Jing's provocative behavior, Li Shiming would not even need to take any action, as other cultivators would help him deal with Mu Jing.

When Mu Jing heard Li Shiming's words, a chill flashed in his eyes. If the environment wasn't right, he would have wanted to take action.

"Master Li, is there any trouble?" At this moment, Yuan Xun came to the side and asked.

Even if Yuan Xun didn't want to show up, his master, Master Ding, had instructed him to take the initiative to help Li Shiming and protect Li Shiming, because Li Shiming was useful.

So when he saw that Li Shiming was in trouble, Yuan Xun took the initiative to step forward.

"Thank you, Brother Yuan. It's not a big deal!" Li Shiming thanked with a smile.

No matter what the reason is, as long as Yuan Xun has no ill intentions towards him, he will respond in the same way.

In fact, he also understood in his heart that this was the reality. Several great monks in the sect knew about his alchemy ability. Even the disappearance of Chen Zhou, the registered disciple of Great Monk Ding, was suspected to be related to him.

But as long as he keeps showing his worth, Master Ding will not attack him but will only protect him.

"Junior Brother Li, is this witch bothering you again?" Feng Lanxin also came at this time, with Shui Miao beside her. As soon as she arrived, she saw the situation here and asked.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, what are you talking about? I have great respect for Master Li!" Mi Yi replied with a smile, looking at Li Shiming with a seductive look.

Feng Lanxin stepped between Mi Yi and Li Shiming, blocking Mi Yi's gaze with a protective gesture.
