"Big Brother, please take this elixir!" Li Shiming took out a second-grade advanced healing elixir and handed it over.
This second-grade high-level healing elixir was what he had just refined in the machine room. He had plenty of spiritual medicines, as there were a large number of them planted in the 'Mountain and River Universe Fan'. Adding to his accumulation, he did not need to buy this ordinary second-grade healing elixir and could take out the materials at will.
Zhong Qiang's body was already riddled with holes due to his long-term life as a casual cultivator.
It is clearly a hundred-year-old body, which is still far from the 200-year lifespan of the foundation-building period. However, given the condition of this body, it would be difficult for him to live beyond 150 years.
Zhong Qiang was slightly startled, and he took the second-grade advanced healing elixir.
He didn't care at first, but after seeing the quality of the second-grade advanced healing elixir, his heart was filled with gratitude.
No matter what level of elixir it is, as long as it reaches high quality, it is rare to obtain it.
If he returned to the sect and found a master alchemist to help him refine a second-grade advanced healing elixir, it would not be difficult. But this was outside, and with Li Shiming's level, he would not need a second-grade healing elixir at all.
Needless to say, this second-grade advanced healing elixir was specially prepared by Li Shiming, which made Zhong Qiang feel cared for.
In the past, Zhong Qiang would never be moved by a elixir, let alone a second-grade elixir. Even if it was a fourth-grade elixir, he would not be very moved.
But this period of time was his most vulnerable time, and Li Shiming's concern deeply touched him.
He didn't say anything. Great favors are never thanked verbally.
Although he was reborn in another body and his realm was only the Foundation Establishment Stage, his eyesight was still there.
The quality of the second-grade advanced healing elixir in his hand had reached the limit of what he could imagine.
He swallowed the second-grade advanced healing elixir, feeling the warmth in his body. His old hidden injuries were repaired by the undercurrent.
It didn't take long for him to look like he was middle-aged. This was because his body's hidden dangers had been repaired, making his appearance the same as his actual age.
"Big Brother, let's go home!" Li Shiming said to Zhong Qiang with a smile.
"Go home!" Zhong Qiang let out a long sigh and said with emotion.
He missed the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, his own cave, his master, and his fellow disciples.
Li Shiming put away the fourth-grade formation flag and was about to recall the fourth-grade puppet, but he stopped the recall.
According to the display of the drone satellite system, the figures of two Nascent Soul cultivators were approaching rapidly.
He checked the records and found that these were the two early Nascent Soul cultivators from the Yanri Sect. They must have rushed here after receiving the information from Zhao Lingyu.
"Big Brother, there are some minor troubles. Please get into the flying boat first and let me handle it!" Li Shiming said as he took out the upper-grade fourth-grade 'Blue Crystal Cloud-Breaking Boat'.
The conflict between the Gufeng Sect and the Wanshou Sect had ended long ago, and Li Shiming was able to take out the 'Blue Crystal Cloud-breaking Boat' for use.
With his status and position in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, even if the 'Blue Crystal Cloud-breaking Boat' was recognized by the cultivators, it would not be much trouble.
"If you really encounter danger, don't worry about me!" Zhong Qiang said in a deep voice.
He entered the 'Blue Crystal Cloud-Breaking Boat' and only then did he discover the peculiarity of this flying boat.
In particular, Li Shiming casually injected a stream of water-based spiritual power into the 'Blue Crystal Cloud-Breaking Boat', causing ice crystals to form around the 'Blue Crystal Cloud-Breaking Boat'.
Zhong Qiang could feel that these ice crystals possessed terrifying defensive power. His eyesight was still there, and he knew that these ice crystals could at least defend against the full-strength attack of a peak cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage.
Such a precious ship was something he had never owned, not to mention now, even in his heyday.
Sitting in such a treasure boat, Zhong Qiang felt safe.
With the help of the formation of the 'Blue Crystal Cloud Breaking Boat', he was able to see what was happening outside.
He was still a little worried about Li Shiming. Li Shiming's realm was only the early Nascent Soul stage. In his opinion, this strength was only average.
The sensing array of the 'Blue Crystal Cloud Breaking Boat' allowed him to discover the two approaching Yuanying early stage cultivators from the Yanri Sect.
"They are Zhao Lingyu's subordinates!" A blaze of hatred flashed in Zhong Qiang's eyes.
He recognized the identities of the two Yuanying early stage cultivators from the Yanri Sect. He was nearly killed when he was besieged by Zhao Lingyu and several Yuanying cultivators.
It was because of his understanding of these two early Nascent Soul cultivators from the Yanri Sect that he began to worry about Li Shiming's safety.
Based on his judgment of the strength of both sides, Li Shiming could at most deal with one of the two early Nascent Soul cultivators of the Yanri Sect. If the two attacked together, Li Shiming would definitely not be able to resist.
"Junior brother, come up and leave with us!" Zhong Qiang said to Li Shiming using the formation of the 'Blue Crystal Cloud Breaking Boat'.
With the speed of the 'Blue Crystal Cloud Breaking Boat', it can definitely get rid of the pursuit of the two Yuanying early stage cultivators of the Yanri Sect.
He was stunned before Li Shiming could answer him.
He had been keeping an eye on the two approaching Yuanying early stage cultivators from the Yanri Sect through the formation of the 'Blue Crystal Cloud Breaking Boat'.
He saw two Yuanying early stage cultivators from the Yanri Sect flying, and suddenly their bodies stopped, and then two Yuanyings rushed out of their bodies in a hurry.
But as soon as the two Nascent Souls appeared, they inexplicably shattered.
Li Shiming flew to the two early Nascent Soul cultivators and casually collected the two corpses and the mustard seed rings on their bodies.
"What's going on in this world?" Zhong Qiang stared in amazement at what was happening before his eyes.
He was even wondering if the world of immortal cultivation was different from what it was before after he lost a hundred years.
When did an early Nascent Soul cultivator, and a Nascent Soul cultivator from a large sect at that, die so casually?
He suddenly thought of something. When his memory was in chaos, he sensed Zhao Lingyu's breath, and seemed to have sensed Zhao Lingyu's breath of death.
After his memory was restored, he thought that the breath of death he sensed from Zhao Lingyu was an illusion. When he saw Zhao Lingyu's two subordinates die in front of him, he couldn't help but doubt whether Zhao Lingyu had already died.
But Zhong Qiang still couldn't believe it, mainly because there was only his junior brother Li Shiming here, and he just didn't believe that Li Shiming could kill Zhao Lingyu.
At this time, Li Shiming had already cleaned up the battlefield and returned to the 'Blue Crystal Cloud Breaking Boat'.
He controlled the 'Blue Crystal Cloud-Breaking Boat' to fly towards the four fourth-grade puppets, and his spiritual sense swept over the four fourth-grade puppets and collected them.
He did not hide these from Zhong Qiang. Although the number of four fourth-grade puppets was large, it was not a secret. As long as the secret of the electromagnetic cannon was not exposed, there would be no problem.
Having said that, although Li Shiming used four fourth-grade puppets to shoot and kill two Nascent Soul early stage cultivators in two rounds, the battle process was not something that Zhong Qiang, who was now in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, could see clearly.
Although Zhong Qiang saw the battle process, the flying speed of the fourth-grade cone-shaped magic weapon was so fast that he, who was in the early stage of foundation building, could not even detect the existence of the fourth-grade cone-shaped magic weapon.
The two fourth-grade puppets first fired a round of electromagnetic cannons. Not to mention that the two early Nascent Soul cultivators were not prepared for the two fourth-grade cone-shaped magic weapons, even if they were prepared, they would not be able to dodge the attack of the electromagnetic cannons.
The fourth-grade cone-shaped magic weapon only destroyed their bodies, but their Nascent Souls were still alive. After the Nascent Souls left their bodies, the other two puppets fired electromagnetic cannons again and completely destroyed their Nascent Souls.
This battle seemed very easy, but the calculations involved were extremely complicated. If it weren't for the command of IBMz15, such a result would have been impossible.
The 'Blue Crystal Cloud Breaking Boat' returned to the sect at full speed, just as Zhong Qiang felt in his heart.
Li Shiming did not take out the spiritual object to entertain Zhong Qiang, mainly because Zhong Qiang was too weak at the moment and the object of his treat was simply not something Zhong Qiang could afford.
"Junior brother, did you meet Zhao Lingyu?" Zhong Qiang thought for a while and finally couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Lingyu is a curse to him. It is the feeling of Zhao Lingyu's breath that makes him no longer live in a muddle. It can be seen how deeply he loves Zhao Lingyu.
"Yes, I found the senior brother before him, and then I set a trap for him to fall into!" Li Shiming replied with a smile.
When Zhong Qiang heard this, he couldn't help but be frightened. If Zhao Lingyu really found him first, he would be living a life worse than death.
"What about Zhao Lingyu?" Zhong Qiang asked.
"Zhao Lingyu is here!" Li Shiming hesitated for a moment, then thought about the hatred between Zhong Qiang and Zhao Lingyu, and took out Zhao Lingyu's body and spoke.
If he didn't take out Zhao Lingyu's body and didn't tell people that Zhao Lingyu had died, Zhong Qiang would probably spend his whole life looking for Zhao Lingyu, which would be a waste of Zhong Qiang's life.
Given Zhong Qiang's current condition, if he continues to carry on with his hatred, he will probably never be able to recover his strength.
Zhong Qiang looked at the corpse in front of him, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
Hatred, confusion, disbelief, puzzlement, joy, relief, relaxation, and laughter, his emotions went through a thousand turns, and the previous hatred came to an end under these emotions.
He looked at Li Shiming. No matter what means Li Shiming used, Li Shiming had avenged him.
He knew very well that given his situation, it would be difficult for him to even restore his original strength, let alone seek revenge on Zhao Lingyu.
If Li Shiming had not killed Zhao Lingyu, he would probably have lived in hatred for the rest of his life.
"I never thought that you would have this day. We fought for hundreds of years when you were alive. Now we are even!" Zhong Qiang murmured to Zhao Lingyu's corpse.
He turned to look at Li Shiming and opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't open his mouth. He planned to go back and talk about it.
Li Shiming collected Zhao Lingyu's body and added water-based spiritual power to the 'Blue Crystal Cloud-Breaking Boat', making the speed of the boat even faster.
As they got closer to the mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, Zhong Qiang's eyes never left the scenery outside.
When the 'Blue Crystal Cloud-Breaking Boat' entered a range of a thousand miles and passed through a barrier, tears welled up in Zhong Qiang's eyes.
Only now did he feel like he had truly returned home. This feeling of being in this cave was so strange yet familiar.
Arriving outside the mountain gate, Li Shiming put away the 'Blue Crystal Cloud-Breaking Boat', and using his spiritual sense to carry Zhong Qiang, he entered the mountain gate.
He took Zhong Qiang with him and flew straight to the Four Symbols Cave Heaven. He wanted to bring Zhong Qiang to his master, Master Hu.
As early as when he was on the road, he sent a message to his master, Master Hu.
Outside the cave of Master Hu, the spiritual incarnation of Master Hu was standing outside waiting.
"Master, your disciple is back!" After seeing Master Hu, Zhong Qiang hurriedly stepped forward and knelt at Master Hu's feet, hugged Master Hu's legs and said.
"It's good that you're back. You just need to cultivate yourself and recover!" Great Monk Hu gently stroked Zhong Qiang's head and consoled him softly.
The master-disciple relationship in the world of immortal cultivation is closer than that between father and son in the mortal world.
Zhong Qiang is the eldest disciple of Master Hu, so their relationship is even closer.
After a hundred years of separation, Master Hu thought that it was a permanent separation between heaven and earth. He did not expect that Zhongqiang could come back. This was already a pleasant surprise.
As for cultivation, although the talent of Zhong Qiang's body is very poor, it is after all fused with Zhong Qiang's Nascent Soul, which makes it possess certain of Zhong Qiang's original talents.
It is impossible for Zhong Qiang to break through to the level of a great cultivator, but it is still possible for him to recover some of his strength.
"I am sorry for the teachings of my master!" Zhong Qiang calmed down and said with his head down.
He knew very well how proud Master Hu was. As the eldest disciple, he ended up in such a situation. He felt that he had brought shame to Master Hu.
"When you recover your strength, I will prepare some means for you to avenge yourself!" Master Hu comforted him.
"Master, Junior Brother Qiu reported it to me!" Zhong Qiang said a little embarrassedly.
Great Monk Hu turned his head and looked at Li Shiming unexpectedly. He knew that Zhong Qiang's enemy was Zhao Lingyu, a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator of the Yanri Sect, and a talented cultivator who had great hope of being promoted to a great monk of the Yanri Sect.
Li Shiming's realm improved very quickly, but if someone said that Li Shiming could kill Zhao Lingyu, even he would not dare to believe it even if he was Li Shiming's master.
"The disciple set a trap and used some tricks!" Li Shiming didn't explain too much, he explained vaguely.
"You, I told you not to take risks, but you actually took the initiative to find Zhao Lingyu, who is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul!" Master Hu pointed at Li Shiming and shook his head.
Zhong Qiang looked at Master Hu, then at Li Shiming. He didn't quite understand why Master Hu said that.
Fighting is the fastest way for a monk to grow. He remembered that Master Hu taught him not to be afraid of fighting.
But why didn't Master Hu let Li Shiming take the risk? Was it because Master Hu's requirements were too low, or was there something special about Li Shiming?
"I forgot to tell you that your junior fellow apprentice is a master of alchemy!" Great Monk Hu said to Zhong Qiang with a smile, and then thought for a moment and said again: "He is the sect's number one master of alchemy."
Zhong Qiang was stunned. He looked at his master, Master Hu, with his mouth wide open. If these words had not come from Master Hu's mouth, he would not have believed it at all.
"Perhaps he should be said to be the number one alchemy master in Dongqi Continent!" Great Monk Hu thought of Li Shiming's level in refining fourth-grade elixirs in the late Nascent Soul stage, and changed his words again.
Few cultivators in the outside world knew about Li Shiming's level of refining fourth-grade elixirs in the late Nascent Soul stage. Only a few great cultivators in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect were very clear about it. It was precisely because of the clear understanding of Li Shiming's alchemy ability that Great Monk Hu made such an evaluation.
