Li Shiming was using his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15 to analyze the route Zhao Lingyu was expected to take. He used "A World Away" and combined with the stealth effect of the color-changing cloak, he could be said to be silent.
Even if there are spies from the Yanri Sect in this area, they will not be able to discover his whereabouts.
Just as he passed a mountain, his figure suddenly stopped.
He took out Senior Brother Zhong Qiang's life lamp, and the flame of the life lamp began to flicker abnormally.
"Senior Brother is here!" he said to himself with some surprise.
He looked towards the mountain. According to the map, there was a low-level market town there.
Such low-level markets are as numerous as stars in the Dongqi Continent, and there is one at regular intervals.
The target groups of service in low-level market towns are individual cultivators. Exchanging resources in the market towns is the guarantee of their survival.
Individual cultivators will sell the spiritual objects they process or cultivate in exchange for spiritual stones or cultivation resources.
As Li Shiming's mind moved slightly, the 'color-changing cloak' transformed him into an early Jindan cultivator.
He arrived outside the market town, and made a gesture with his fingers to form a universal incantation for entering the market town, and then the entrance to the market town appeared.
He walked into the entrance of the passage and saw that there were very few monks in the market, and there were only five monks setting up stalls here.
This is normal. This kind of low-level market will only be busy for a few days each month. The rest of the time, the nearby monks are busy with survival issues.
Li Shiming walked and looked, his brain paying attention to the situation of the life lamp.
The life lamp was very close to Senior Brother Zhong Qiangda, which allowed him to find Senior Brother Zhong Qiangda's actual location through the guidance of the life lamp.
The cultivators setting up stalls looked at Li Shiming with awe. Even though Li Shiming had suppressed his realm to the early Golden Core stage, it was still not something they could handle for these cultivators whose strength was only in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages.
As Li Shiming walked, he stopped in front of a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.
The face of the cultivator in the early stage of foundation building looked very weathered, and he was probably about a hundred years old.
At this age, he is only at the initial stage of foundation building. It would be extremely difficult to break through to the golden elixir stage.
In front of the cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, there are two first-grade bamboo black rabbits. Judging from the state of the bamboo black rabbits, they are tamed.
It is not easy to tame spirit beasts. In addition to having the means, one also needs to have a strong affinity with spirit beasts.
Of course, there are only first-grade spirit beasts that can be tamed. For spirit beasts of higher grade, their wisdom will be extremely resistant to taming, making taming impossible.
Li Shiming looked at the two first-grade bamboo black rabbits, and then looked at the cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. Although it was extremely difficult to sense the Nascent Soul's aura in the body after the Nascent Soul took over the body, just through the taming ability of the two first-grade bamboo black rabbits, he could judge that this person was most likely the body taken over by Senior Brother Zhong Qiang.
His spiritual sense swept across the body of the cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It seems that Senior Brother Zhong Qiang had to take over the body out of extreme helplessness, as the talent of this body is very poor.
It is estimated that if Senior Brother Zhong Qiang's Nascent Soul had not been integrated into this body, this body would probably not even be able to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"Senior, what do you want?" the cultivator in the early stage of foundation building asked restrainedly.
He didn't think that the Jindan-stage senior in front of him would be interested in the two first-grade bamboo rabbits. Instead, this made him extremely nervous. He didn't know what the Jindan-stage senior's purpose was.
"Your method of taming spirit beasts seems familiar to me. Where did you learn it from?" Li Shiming asked with a smile.
"Senior, this is a method I came up with based on my random thoughts. If you are interested, I will give it to you right away!" The cultivator in the early stage of foundation building replied without any hesitation.
This is the way of survival for independent cultivators. When they are unable to resist, they will take the initiative to show weakness.
"Hey, don't call me senior. Just pack up and I'll take you to a place!" Li Shiming sensed the situation of the life lamp and after a careful scan with his spiritual sense, he was 100% sure that the person in front of him was Senior Brother Zhong Qiang, so he said lightly.
The cultivator in the early stage of foundation building had a tense expression on his face. He looked at Li Shiming, and fear flashed in his eyes.
"Fellow Daoist, this place is..." The owner of this market, an early Jindan cultivator appeared and spoke.
But he stopped halfway through his words because when he opened his mouth to speak, Li Shiming turned his head and looked at him.
As the master of the market town, the Jindan cultivator can sense everything that happens in the market town through the formation in the market town.
Li Shiming's aura was that of an early Golden Core. Although the owner of this place did not want to intervene, for the sake of the reputation of the market town, the owner still stepped forward to stop Li Shiming from taking away the cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage.
The reputation of the market town is its life, and Li Shiming's aura is at the early stage of the golden elixir, so the owner here is confident that he can suppress Li Shiming.
But when Li Shiming turned his head and looked at him, he felt the terrifying thunder and lightning from Li Shiming's eyes, the kind of thunder and lightning that was enough to make his soul tremble.
Li Shiming had a strong control over the energy in his body. The trace of thunder pressure he emitted did not disperse, but was only directed at the owner of this place.
He did not display too much pressure, otherwise with his pressure as a thunder cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage, the owner of this place would die on the spot.
"Lao Zhang, just follow this senior. I think he won't make things difficult for you!" The host here immediately changed his mind and persuaded the cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.
The cultivator in the early stage of foundation building knew that it could not be changed. From the attitude of the master of this place, he knew that the Jindan cultivator in front of him was extremely powerful, so powerful that the master of this place did not dare to say anything more.
He put away the two first-grade bamboo black rabbits. Although it might be dangerous to leave with Li Shiming this time, the two first-grade bamboo black rabbits were a considerable fortune for him and he was reluctant to let them go.
"Thank you!" Li Shiming nodded to the owner of the market.
He waved his hand, and a divine consciousness lifted up the cultivator in the early stage of the building period and flew out of the market town.
The owner of the market maintained a humble smile and watched their figures go away. He did not let out a long sigh of relief until Li Shiming left the market and he could no longer be seen.
"This is definitely not an early Jindan cultivator, he is just hiding his identity for some reason!" he muttered to himself.
But he soon realized that he had talked too much, and looked around quickly, and found that there were no monks nearby, so he felt relieved.
Li Shiming took the cultivators in the early stage of foundation building and left the market. He looked at the drone satellite system and found that due to this delay, Zhao Lingyu would pass by nearby in at most an incense stick of time.
"What's your name?" he asked the cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.
"Senior, my name is Zhang Hai!" Zhang Hai was supported by the spiritual consciousness, which made him restrained, so he answered honestly.
"Zhang Hai, I have something to do here. I will set up a formation. You stay inside the formation and don't move!" Li Shiming said with a smile.
As he spoke, the fourth-grade formation flag in his hand had already been thrown out, and when it landed on the ground, it formed a hidden formation.
Zhang Haizi didn't dare to refuse, nor did he have the ability to refuse.
Li Shiming placed Zhang Hai in a hidden formation and casually cast a defensive spell on Zhang Hai.
Zhang Hai felt the magic light on his body. Even though he was only in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he understood at this moment that Li Shiming was definitely not a Golden Core Stage cultivator.
Although the realm of the independent cultivators in the Dongqi Continent is low, their knowledge is definitely far greater than that of the independent cultivators in the Beishu Continent.
Among the wandering cultivators in the Dongqi Continent, one can occasionally see Jindan cultivators, and even Yuanying cultivators can be seen every few years.
Therefore, Zhang Hai knew the difference between spells. This fourth-grade defensive spell reflected that Li Shiming was a Nascent Soul cultivator.
This thought actually made him less nervous. To be honest, if Li Shiming was really an early Jindan cultivator, he would have wondered whether Li Shiming would do anything to him.
But it is different for Li Shiming, who is a Nascent Soul cultivator. As a cultivator in the initial stage of foundation building, he has no value at all to the Nascent Soul cultivators and is not worth the Nascent Soul cultivators' effort to deal with him.
Although he didn't know what was going on, he knew he should be safe.
He looked at the fourth-grade defensive spell on his body, and then at the fourth-grade formation arranged outside his body, and he felt more at ease.
Li Shiming summoned four fourth-grade puppets and used the speed of "A World Away" to deploy the four fourth-grade puppets four hundred miles away.
Although he had a record of killing mid-Nascent Soul cultivators, he did not underestimate any mid-Nascent Soul cultivator, not to mention that Zhao Lingyu was a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator from the Yanri Sect.
Since Zhao Lingyu was able to severely injure Senior Brother Zhong Qiang in the battle, his combat power must be extremely strong.
You must know that Senior Brother Zhongqiang is the eldest disciple of Master Hu. Whether it is his skills or magic weapons, he is the top among the mid-Nascent Soul cultivators of the Wanshou Sect.
There is no need to say much about the fighting power of Zhao Lingyu, who defeated his senior brother Zhong Qiang.
If Li Shiming did not have many means to save his life, coupled with his extremely strong attack power, he would have avoided a powerful being like Zhao Lingyu long ago.
Zhao Lingyu was holding a 'Thousand Miles Spirit Sense Plate' in his hand. He was in a good mood as he could soon deal with his mortal enemy Zhong Qiang and take the thing back from Zhong Qiang.
After the intelligence personnel of the Wanshou Sect sent back the news that Zhong Qiang was in Guangyang Prefecture, he immediately accepted the task and rushed to Guangyang Prefecture with two of his men.
The reason why he came here before Li Shiming was mainly because Li Shiming was in seclusion at the time, and Master Hu could not find a reliable monk to come and pick up Zhong Qiang.
Given Zhong Qiang's amnesia after taking over another's body, if a cultivator with ulterior motives came over, they would most likely kill Zhong Qiang and take away the treasure.
Even if Zhong Qiang escaped as a Nascent Soul, he would at least have retained a magical weapon. What's more, if he escaped with a spatial item, Zhong Qiang's wealth would be even greater.
If we rashly send monks to pick up Zhong Qiang, it would not be saving him, but harming him.
Master Hu was also planning to let Yue Shan or Lu Heng go to Guangyang Prefecture to pick up Zhong Qiang when they had the chance. It happened that Li Shiming came out of seclusion, so this task fell on Li Shiming.
Zhao Lingyu has another method that is more convenient than Li Shiming, that is the 'Thousand Miles Spiritual Disk'.
He had obtained Zhong Qiang's body, which made the aura of Zhong Qiang that could be embedded in the 'Thousand Miles Spirit Sense Disk' stronger, making it easier to track Zhong Qiang's location.
Although the 'Thousand Miles Spirit Sensing Plate' is said to have a range of a thousand miles, that is when there is no obstruction.
If Zhong Qiang is in the formation, it will affect the effect of the 'Thousand Miles Spirit Sense Disk'.
Zhao Lingyu was flying, and the needle of the 'Thousand Miles Spiritual Disk' in his hand moved and pointed in a direction.
"Zhong Qiang, let's see where you can run this time!" Zhao Lingyu said happily.
The direction he was flying was exactly the direction of the hidden formation set up by Li Shiming.
Of course, this is also the area near where Li Shiming set up the ambush. Zhao Lingyu's whereabouts were not hidden and were under the surveillance of the drone satellite system.
When Li Shiming saw Zhao Lingyu changed direction, he couldn't help but pat his head and thought of the 'Thousand Miles Spiritual Disk'. He had been located by the 'Thousand Miles Spiritual Disk' and was deeply impressed.
It seems that Zhao Lingyu has found the location of Senior Brother Zhong Da. If he had come later, Senior Brother Zhong Da would have been found by Zhao Lingyu first.
One can only sigh that Senior Brother Zhong Qiang was lucky enough to be found by Li Shiming first.
Li Shiming contacted four fourth-grade puppets through the drone satellite system. In order to facilitate long-distance communication, he installed signal receiving and sending devices in the bodies of the four fourth-grade puppets.
The drone satellite system can transmit data in a timely manner. Of course, if the distance is too far, there will be some delay, but at a distance of only four hundred miles, there will not be any delay at all.
Not to mention his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15. IBMz15 kept calculating the distance to Zhao Lingyu. With Li Shiming's 'Divine Vision', he could see Zhao Lingyu's figure clearly, facilitating IBMz15's accurate calculation.
Zhao Lingyu looked at the 'Thousand Miles Spirit Sense Disk', which was getting closer and closer to the target, but a sense of danger arose in his heart.
His spirit is very strong, and he can be considered as the top one among the cultivators in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
It was because his spirit was strong enough that he felt the danger.
If one's spirit is a little weak, one will not be able to sense that he is being targeted by four fourth-grade puppets.
The reason for this was that the four fourth-grade puppets were too far away, beyond the perception range of most Nascent Soul cultivators. At a distance of four hundred miles, there were very few such long-distance strikes in the world of immortal cultivation.
Zhao Lingyu waved his hand, and a fourth-grade upper-level shield magic weapon appeared in front of him, completely covering his body.
He released his spiritual sense and carefully explored everything around him, not missing a single inch.
He trusted his spirit very much, and his early perception of danger allowed him to avoid crises many times.
In order to improve his spirit, he practiced many extremely cruel magic skills, which enabled him to always gain the upper hand in battles among people of the same level.
Li Shiming was also suddenly startled. This was the first time that a cultivator sensed the aiming of a fourth-grade puppet.
He did not launch an attack immediately. If he launched an attack in this situation, there was a high possibility that it would be resisted, and he did not want to waste his efforts.
He was waiting. He knew that it was impossible for Zhao Lingyu to discover the four fourth-grade puppets within a distance of 400 miles. It was impossible for Zhao Lingyu to be so alert all the time. As long as there was a slight flaw, it would be the time for him to attack.
However, when he used his 'Divine Eyes' to observe Zhao Lingyu, it did not trigger any response from Zhao Lingyu.
