The headquarters of Yuxiang Trading Company is located on a peninsula on the west coast of Dongqi Continent, occupying most of the peninsula.
A large number of monks gathered here. These monks formed a commercial district around Yuxiang Trading Company, making this peninsula look extremely prosperous.
It was already night when Li Shiming arrived at the peninsula where the Yuxiang Trading Company's headquarters was located. He looked at the brightly lit Yuxiang Trading Company's headquarters and thought about how to find information about Jian Wuwei.
The monks don't care whether it is day or night, and the commercial district outside the headquarters of Yuxiang Trading Company is still crowded with monks.
Most of these monks live here. Because Yuxiang Trading Company has its headquarters here, the peninsula is protected by Yuxiang Trading Company, and few monks dare to cause trouble on the peninsula.
This also makes this place a safe haven for many independent cultivators and immortal cultivation families. Dangers are everywhere in the immortal cultivation world, and the peninsula is considered a very safe area.
Li Shiming controlled the color-changing cloak to make himself invisible.
He had just used the 'Divine Eyes' to observe and found that there were many independent cultivators here, and the formations on the peninsula were not very sophisticated.
Due to the inherent ability of the fourth-grade upper-level color-changing cloak, the outermost formation of the peninsula cannot detect him.
He ignored the area where the independent cultivators gathered and flew towards the headquarters of Yuxiang Trading Company.
The headquarters of Yuxiang Trading Company occupies the largest area on the peninsula, and he quickly approached the formation of Yuxiang Trading Company.
"This formation is a bit weird!" Li Shiming used the 'Divine Eyes' to observe the formation, and his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15 analyzed the spiritual power lines and nodes of the formation. He soon found something wrong.
The formation of Yuxiang Trading Company is somewhat different from the normal sect protection formation. This formation has some formation inheritance from the Demon Sect.
Among the spoils of war that Li Shiming obtained from the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Yanri Sect, there was knowledge of the Yanri Sect's formations. He was also very familiar with the Demon Sect's formations.
The reason why he called the magic sect formation inheritance used by Yuxiang Commercial Bank weird was that the magic sect formation part used by Yuxiang Commercial Bank, in addition to the normal means of setting up the formation, also used the souls and a large amount of blood essence of cultivators as raw materials.
As a medium-sized commercial force, although it has access to the inheritance of the Demon Sect's formation, the significance of applying it to its own formation is different.
Of course, only a cultivator like Li Shiming, who possesses the "Divine Eyes" and is familiar with the magic sect's formations, would be able to discover the abnormality of the formation at the Yuxiang Commercial Bank headquarters.
Although the formation at the Yuxiang Commercial Bank headquarters had some of the magic sect's formation techniques, it didn't take him long to open up a passage in the shield of the formation. The Yuxiang Commercial Bank headquarters knew nothing about it and did not alarm any cultivators.
Li Shiming was thinking as he entered the headquarters of Yuxiang Trading Company.
The Yuxiang Trading Company might not be as clean as it appears. The means used to set up the magic array are extremely cruel and cannot be accepted by the righteous forces.
There are many buildings at the headquarters of Yuxiang Trading Company, but after careful observation, he did not find anything special.
His gaze fell on the center of Yuxiang Trading Company's headquarters. From that position, he sensed the aura of a middle-Nascent Soul cultivator and three early-Nascent Soul cultivators.
The rest of the Nascent Soul cultivators of Yuxiang Trading Company should be busy outside.
Li Shiming was very patient. He did not capture the monks for interrogation right away. Instead, he found a place in the headquarters formation and monitored the movements of the four Nascent Soul monks.
He didn't want to make too much noise. At least, he would not launch an all-out attack on Yuxiang Trading Company until it was clear that Jian Wuwei's disappearance was related to Yuxiang Trading Company.
He had experience in dealing with mid-Nascent Soul cultivators. The mid-Nascent Soul cultivator of the medium-sized Yuxiang Trading Company was quite different from the mid-Nascent Soul cultivator of the Yanri Sect, not to mention Zhao Lingyu whom he killed. Zhao Lingyu was the top cultivator among the mid-Nascent Soul cultivators of the Yanri Sect.
Therefore, he is very confident in his fighting ability. What he needs now is an investigation. Once the investigation finds any problems, he will do what needs to be done!
Li Shiming monitored four Nascent Soul cultivators at the Yuxiang Commercial Bank headquarters. For ten consecutive days, he did not find any abnormalities. The four Nascent Soul cultivators did not come out of their caves.
This is actually normal. Not to mention ten days, it is common for Nascent Soul cultivators to stay in the cave for several years.
He set a timer for himself and waited for another five days. If there was no news after five days, he would set up surveillance equipment here to monitor on his behalf.
Of course, the monitoring effect using surveillance equipment is far less effective than his role here, but he doesn't have time to stay here for a long time.
He was not idle during these ten days. He had been refining medicine in his computer room.
Three days later, the brain he left behind on guard discovered that an early Nascent Soul cultivator had left his cave.
"There is indeed a problem!" A light flashed in Li Shiming's eyes, and he said to himself.
It was after he discovered that there was a demonic formation at the headquarters of Yuxiang Commercial Bank that he changed his original plan and chose to conduct surveillance.
He just wanted to find out who the demonic cultivator at the Yuxiang Commercial Bank headquarters was. The auras of the four Nascent Soul cultivators he had sensed before were all normal, but the aura of this early Nascent Soul cultivator today carried a hint of demonic energy.
Chang Chi yawned with his mouth wide open. It was extremely rare for a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage to have such a performance.
His eyes were glowing red, and the demonic power hidden deep within his body was stirring. If he didn't find a way to suppress it, it would be completely revealed.
He was not nervous either, as he was already used to this kind of situation.
This is an inevitable phenomenon in practicing magic skills, and it will occur once every once in a while.
Yuxiang Trading Company has a perfect solution. All the Nascent Soul cultivators who stay at the headquarters of Yuxiang Trading Company are Nascent Soul cultivators who are about to show abnormal changes in their magic powers.
After they have resolved the trouble at the Yuxiang Trading Company headquarters on the day when the unusual movement of magic power occurs, they can go out again.
Chang Chi flew towards a wooden building. Li Shiming frowned slightly. He had checked the wooden building with his "Divine Eyes" and found nothing unusual.
Chang Chi cast a spell and entered the wooden building.
He didn't notice that an invisible little dragon followed him into the wooden building and stuck to his back.
Li Shiming shared the Phantom Dragon's vision through the contract with the Phantom Dragon, and he could see Chang Chi's every move clearly.
Chang Chi came to a chair made of spiritual jade placed in the hall on the first floor of the wooden building and cast a spell at the chair.
The chair split in the middle, revealing a downward passage.
He entered the passage, which was a downward passage that went twenty meters deep underground.
And as he descended, he needed to use spells to open the spiritual barrier every five meters, which shows how important the area below is.
But he didn't know that the secrets here and the magic spells he used had all fallen into the eyes of the Phantom Dragon.
With IBMz15's analysis records, the magic formula he used was mastered by Li Shiming.
When the Phantom Dragon followed Chang Chi to the space twenty meters below, Li Shiming saw a shocking scene through the Phantom Dragon's eyes.
As soon as you enter the underground space, you can see a space of approximately two hundred square meters.
The space was filled with Jindan monks nailed to shelves. These Jindan monks were all in the late Jindan stage, and some of them had even reached the level of great elders.
Li Shiming counted and found that there were forty-three Jindan cultivators.
All the Jindan monks are still alive, but their lives are more miserable than those in death.
Their energy was being sucked away through the shelves behind them. Each shelf was connected to a spatial formation. In the center of the space was a spiritual gourd with bloody light.
The qi, blood, spiritual power and spirit of the forty-three Jindan monks were slowly drawn into the spirit gourd.
However, this slow extraction cannot kill the Jindan monks.
The Jindan monks' recovery ability has become their nightmare. Their recovered blood, spiritual power, and spirit will be drained away again.
They were trapped in a situation worse than death and became food for the evil cultivators.
Li Shiming was shocked. This method, which was like planting cultivators, was a taboo in the world of immortal cultivation, at least it could not be known by the righteous forces.
Once the righteous forces know that there is a force that dares to use such means to treat monks as cows, they will definitely exterminate that force.
Of course, there are still many such methods used in private in the world of immortal cultivation. After all, the magic cultivation methods have such shortcuts, which will allow cultivators to make great improvements in a short period of time.
Chang Chi did not look at the forty-three Jindan cultivators, nor did he care about the spiritual gourd with blood.
The resources collected by the spiritual gourd here will be used for the cultivation of Jindan monks.
By adopting this method, Yuxiang Trading Company can cultivate more powerful Jindan magic cultivators.
Yuxiang Trading Company has a special secret method that can hide the aura of demonic power.
Chang Chi came to another closely connected space. This space was different from the outside space. Nine formation nodes were divided here. In the center of the nine formation nodes was a spiritual gourd with blood light.
Currently, six cultivators are placed in the nine formation nodes.
These six cultivators were all in the early Nascent Soul stage. Their bodies were filled with needle-shaped magic treasures and they were completely unable to move. Just like the Jindan cultivators outside, their energy was being drained from their bodies.
Li Shiming suppressed the anger in his heart and saw Jian Wuwei.
Jian Wuwei is exactly one of the six Nascent Soul cultivators. The eyes of this Nascent Soul sword cultivator no longer have the brilliance that he had when he was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage.
Unfortunately, even if you want to die, you can't do it here. As long as you are still useful, the energy in your body will continue to be extracted until you lose all your usefulness and then be disposed of.
When Chang Chi came here, the demonic aura on his body was no longer hidden.
A black aura was rising from his body, and he looked at the six early Nascent Soul cultivators with a smug look in his eyes.
Only a commercial force like Yuxiang Trading Company has the convenience to capture so many Nascent Soul cultivators without being discovered by any force.
This is related to the targets chosen by Yuxiang Trading Company. Yuxiang Trading Company never attacks cultivators with roots.
The cultivators they selected were all cultivators who traveled alone and had no connection with the major forces in the Dongqi Continent.
And every time they captured monks, they took advantage of the reputation of Yuxiang Trading Company, used means to poison the monks, and then used their superior combat power to suppress the monks in one fell swoop.
Chang Chi cast a spell towards the spirit gourd in the middle, and a stream of energy flew out from the spirit gourd.
The Nascent Soul left his body above his head and opened its mouth, preparing to absorb the energy.
Li Shiming sensed the uniqueness of this energy by sharing the eyes and perception of the Phantom Dragon. This energy should be the blood of the Nascent Soul.
The Nascent Soul is a product of energy, so theoretically it should not have blood.
The so-called Nascent Soul blood is the special energy that makes up the Nascent Soul. It is a fusion of the Nascent Soul cultivator's soul, spiritual power, vitality, and comprehension of his own skills.
Jian Wuwei was still conscious, which made him even more painful. When he sensed the demonic aura from Chang Chi, a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.
He looked at Chang Chi with hatred. He could not forgive these evil cultivators.
But his situation made him helpless. He couldn't even pass on any message to the outside world. Otherwise, as long as he contacted Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion, he could be rescued.
Just as Jian Wuwei was watching Chang Chi's Nascent Soul about to devour the Nascent Soul blood extracted from his body, he saw that the Nascent Soul suddenly stopped moving, and even the Nascent Soul blood that had flown halfway was sucked back into the spirit gourd.
Behind Chang Chi's Nascent Soul, an elegant five-clawed dragon appeared.
There were two tooth holes on Chang Chi's Nascent Soul, and black poison was spreading in the tooth holes.
He wanted to send a message, but let alone send a message, he couldn't even control his Nascent Soul.
This is the deadly poison of the Phantom Dragon. Not to mention him, an early Nascent Soul cultivator from a medium-sized force, even if a middle Nascent Soul cultivator from a large sect was bitten by this horrific poison, it would be enough to make him unbearable.
When Jian Wuwei saw the Phantom Dragon suddenly appear, his eyes were filled with hope. Since the Phantom Dragon attacked Chang Chi, it meant that the Phantom Dragon was Chang Chi's enemy.
He didn't care about death. Even if the Phantom Dragon killed him, it was better than becoming a cauldron for the evil cultivators.
However, the Phantom Dragon did not start a massacre, but looked at the six restrained Nascent Soul early stage cultivators in a humane way.
The six Nascent Soul early stage cultivators were now alert. Although they were still unable to move, they knew that this kind of day would soon be over.
Li Shiming hesitated for a moment, but still put on a mask, hiding the aura of his sword intent and Chongxiao Jue, and only revealing the aura of "Yuqing Lei Dian".
He did not want to recognize Jian Wuwei. The identity of Li Shiming, the alchemy master in Beishu Continent, was really too much when he was in Beishu Continent.
He is living a very good life now. He hides some of his alchemy abilities so that he has an extraordinary talent for alchemy without being too different from others.
If you are one step ahead of other alchemy masters, you are a genius. If you are many steps ahead of other alchemy masters, you will be in trouble, huge trouble.
Fortunately, it was in the Northern Shu Continent, so the trouble was much less. If he had shown that kind of alchemy ability in the Eastern Qi Continent, he would probably have to hide in the sect every day and make pills to survive.
