"Senior Sister Li, it's a good thing that Luanfeng Palace only accepts female cultivators, otherwise I would be without even my youngest disciple!" Great Monk Hu said to Great Monk Li with a smile.
When Li Shiming heard the name "Luanfeng Palace", he couldn't help but feel curious.
This is definitely not a force from Dongqi Continent. He has never heard of the 'Luanfeng Palace' and does not know what kind of force it is.
But judging from the realm of Master Li, the 'Luanfeng Palace' is at least stronger than the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
Even though there is only one great monk, Master Li, in the Luanfeng Palace, Master Li's strength is enough to suppress the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.
"Shizhen, I called you here, first, to pay a visit to Uncle Li, and second, to ask you to make a pot of spiritual tea!" Master Hu continued to say to Li Shiming.
Li Shiming could see that Master Hu attached great importance to Master Li.
Although Master Hu was Li Shiming's master, he had never asked him to come over and make spiritual tea to entertain guests.
In addition, no matter how close a friend is, as long as he is not a cultivator from the sect, Master Hu will not lead him to the caves in the Four Symbols Cave Heaven.
There is a place in the sect specifically for receiving guests, which is prepared for guests.
"Yes!" Li Shiming responded.
He took out the fourth-grade spiritual tea that he had roasted himself, and also took out the fourth-grade Taichu Treasure Cauldron, which was his best fourth-grade alchemy furnace.
He mobilized his own Red Sun Spirit Fire, took out the fourth-grade spiritual spring, and stimulated all the spirituality in the fourth-grade spiritual tea in the Taichu Treasure Cauldron, and brewed a pot of spiritual tea.
Even the knowledgeable monk Li was watching his movements quietly, sniffing the scent of the fourth-grade spiritual tea emanating from the Taichu Treasure Cauldron, a surprised smile appeared on her face.
"Uncle Li, Master, please come in!" Li Shiming placed a pot of brewed fourth-grade spiritual tea in front of the two great monks and bowed.
"Senior Sister Li, please come and taste the top-grade fourth-grade spiritual tea. If my disciple is second to none in terms of frying and brewing tea, no cultivator would dare to claim to be first!" Great Monk Hu poured a cup of spiritual tea for Great Monk Li and said with some pride.
In front of Master Li, Master Hu was a head shorter than Master Li, and being able to show some superiority in front of Master Li made him feel very good.
Although Sister Li was a little impatient, her good upbringing allowed her to pick up the teacup gracefully, put it to her mouth and take a sip.
"Junior Brother Hu, just for this spiritual tea, I want to take you, my disciple, back to Luanfeng Palace!" After a long time, Master Li put down the teacup and said with a chuckle.
Her words were half true and half false, but they made Master Hu's smile disappear, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Haha, I won't take away what others love, but I want to take some of this spiritual tea back!" When Master Li saw Master Hu's expression, he couldn't help but chuckle and waved his hand.
"That's no problem, I'll prepare it for you when you leave!" Monk Hu replied with a smile.
Li Shiming stood aside with his hands down. He had never seen Master Hu being so humiliated before. He didn't dare to listen any more, fearing that Master Hu would cause trouble for him afterwards.
"Senior Sister Li, your cave is ready. We will move a new mountain next to my cave!" Monk Hu continued.
Li Shiming was really shocked. Master Li was not only here as a guest, but he would also stay here for a long time.
This had never happened before. Even though he had not been in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect for a long time, he had read many of the sect's books and knew what had happened in the sect in the past.
In the cave at the center of the Four Symbols Cave Heaven, only the great monks of the sect are qualified to live in it. What is the identity of this great monk Li, and how could he make the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect specially move a mountain to the center of the Four Symbols Cave Heaven?
"I got the news that Yuqing Sect is planning to intervene in Dongqi Continent this time. Yuqing Sect wants to break the balance of power, and they dare not lose their teeth!" Monk Li did not care about the matter of the cave, she chuckled and said.
"The Bai Ri Sect was destroyed, and the Yu Qing Sect occupied the Dayue Mountains. Fortunately, Senior Sister arrived in time, otherwise the Yu Qing Sect might have attacked the Wan Shou Sect one day. Think about the day when the Yan Ri Sect's mountain gate was attacked. I don't want the Wan Shou Sect to suffer such a result!" Master Hu was full of helplessness when he mentioned the Yu Qing Sect.
As a great monk himself, he had witnessed with his own eyes the horror of Great Monk Wang He. Great Monk Wang He was only one of the many great monks in Yuqing Sect, and there were even stronger ones above Great Monk Wang He.
Of course, if Yuqing Sect wants to intervene in Dongqi Continent, it is impossible for it to send out anyone more powerful than a great cultivator.
If a great cultivator were to be dispatched, it would truly disrupt the balance of power and lead to the emergence of great cultivators from various super powers. The consequence of that would be chaos in the entire world of cultivating immortals.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, the great monk is the strongest fighting force that the super power can mobilize. Once a force beyond the great monk's presence is dispatched, their influence will lead to dangerous consequences.
Li Shiming stood aside, listening to the two great monks discussing secret matters.
The two great monks had no intention of hiding anything from Li Shiming. As a direct disciple of Great Monk Hu, he was qualified to know some secrets.
It’s just that no one would take the initiative to talk about these secrets normally, but now that they have been encountered, no one would stop him from knowing.
Li Shiming finally understood the relationship between Luanfeng Palace and Wanshou Sect. Wanshou Sect was a sect separated from Luanfeng Palace. Luanfeng Palace had its own special features and only recruited female cultivators.
Initially, the Wanshou Sect was a peripheral force of the Luanfeng Palace, and there was no distinction between male and female practitioners who could join the Wanshou Sect.
More than ten thousand years ago, the Wanshou Sect took advantage of an opportunity to come to the Dongqi Continent and became a major sect in the Dongqi Continent, occupying a large area of the Dongqi Continent, partly with the support of the Luanfeng Palace.
Although the Wanshou Sect is no longer a peripheral force of the Luanfeng Palace, the relationship between the two sides is still very close. Both sides come from the same origin. The Wanshou Sect still needs the care of the Luanfeng Palace from time to time, and the Luanfeng Palace also needs the Wanshou Sect to recruit extremely talented female cultivators in the Dongqi Continent for the palace.
"Your disciple, with the aura of 'Jade Purity Thunder Code' all over his body, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to go out in the future!" Master Li changed the subject and returned to talking about Li Shiming.
When Li Shiming came, he didn't know that his master, Master Hu, had guests here, so he revealed the aura of a thunder cultivator.
This was also the aura he normally revealed. On the contrary, even his master, Master Hu, did not know about the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky' technique.
"Shizhen had some opportunities of his own and inherited the 'Yuqing Thunder Code'. He started practicing it before joining my sect. Before, Yuqing Sect rarely acted in Dongqi Continent, but nothing happened. I have already warned him to stay in the sect in the future!" Great Monk Hu explained with a smile.
"You, as a master, don't even think of a solution for your disciple!" Monk Li shook her head and said. She casually took out a jade talisman and handed it to Li Shiming, saying, "This is the 'Hidden Phoenix Jade Talisman'. You carry it with you to hide the special aura on your body!"
"Thank you, Uncle Master Li!" Li Shiming did not expect that this great monk Li would be so generous.
He had already given a gift before. Although the gift was given to Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng was his spiritual pet, so it was equivalent to giving it to him.
Now Master Li took out the 'Hidden Phoenix Jade Talisman', which was the real one for him.
The 'Hidden Phoenix Jade Talisman' was carved from top-grade fourth-grade jade. Li Shiming was unable to determine the craftsmanship, but it must have been made using some secret method.
This can almost be considered a top-grade fourth-grade spiritual object. Although it is not a magic weapon, it also has unique effects.
"Senior Sister Li, it seems that we need to ask Shizhen to prepare more fourth-grade spiritual tea for you!" Great Monk Hu glanced at the 'Hidden Phoenix Jade Talisman' and said with a smile.
"I like Shizhen!" Monk Li said with a chuckle.
Since Great Monk Li lives in the Four Symbols Cave Heaven, which is the most secretive place of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, most of the monks in the sect do not know that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has a new great monk.
Although Li Shiming had the 'Hidden Phoenix Jade Talisman', he did not leave the sect.
Speaking of the 'Hidden Phoenix Jade Talisman', its effect of concealing aura is very powerful. Not only can it conceal aura, but it can also conceal any one or several specified auras on his body.
This allows him to use the five Nascent Souls at the same time without having to worry about exposing too much aura and allowing other cultivators to detect the existence of the five Nascent Souls.
His peaceful days did not last long, as the four major sects finally came into conflict with the Yuqing Sect.
The source of the conflict was that the Yuqing Sect expanded outward from the Dayue Mountains, infringing on the interests of the four major sects.
You must know that after more than ten thousand years of development, the resource allocation of Dongqi Continent has long been fixed. Even if there are some controversial resources, they are matters between the four major sects.
The four major sects used controversial resources to send their monks to fight each other in order to hone their disciples.
Yuqing Sect's scramble for disputed resources touched upon the core interests of the four major sects.
The four major sects worked together and fought battles with the Yuqing Sect in various places.
The Wanshou Sect also issued mandatory combat missions to all Nascent Soul cultivators. No Nascent Soul cultivator could be an exception. This was a battle for survival, not an ordinary conflict.
Li Shiming, the master of alchemy, also received a mandatory combat mission.
His mandatory combat mission should have taken into account his identity as an alchemy master. All he needed to do was to go to a resource point and station there.
He checked the location of the resource point, which was very far from the Dayue Mountains, and thought it would not be easy to get there by fighting.
After bidding farewell to his master, Master Hu, he flew towards the mission target.
When leaving the mountain gate, he could feel the tense atmosphere inside. The sect's formation was in a fully activated state, and the cultivators inside the mountain gate seemed to be in a hurry.
Xuanxi Mountains is a resource point of the Wanshou Sect that cultivates third and fourth grade resources.
Not only are there many Nascent Soul-level spiritual veins here, but the natural environment is also unique, with a large amount of naturally spiritual soil.
Li Shiming came here, he took out his identity jade disc, and opened the formation to enter the resource point.
"Master Li, we've been waiting for you!" A slightly plump cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage welcomed him with a smile.
"Senior Brother Kang, sorry to bother you!" Li Shiming also said with a smile.
He had never dealt with this Senior Brother Kang Yuan before, mainly because this Senior Brother Kang Yuan had been stationed in Xuanxi Mountains for a long time and seldom returned to the sect.
In addition, he had only been a member of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect for a short time. For Nascent Soul cultivators who often counted years, the time he had spent in the sect was just a period of seclusion.
It is not surprising that Kang Yuan knows Li Shiming. Although Li Shiming has joined the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect for a short time, Li Shiming is so famous that he is known as the number one alchemy master in the Dongqi Continent. This title is enough to make any Nascent Soul cultivator pay attention to him.
Kang Yuan had been waiting since he heard that the alchemy master Li Shiming was coming. He knew very well the benefits of making friends with the alchemy master Li Shiming.
In the past, he had no way to make friends with Li Shiming even though he wanted to. This time, Li Shiming was stationed with him. If he didn't seize this opportunity, he would be a fool.
"Master Li, please don't call me Senior Brother Kang. Just call me by my name, Kang Yuan. I feel unworthy of calling you Senior Brother!" When Kang Yuan heard Li Shiming calling him Senior Brother, he quickly waved his hand and said.
If we count based on the time when they joined the sect, Kang Yuan is naturally the senior brother.
But since when did the world of immortal cultivation begin to calculate seniority based on the time one joined the sect? In the world of immortal cultivation, strength has always been respected.
Kang Yuan has practiced for hundreds of years, but he is only at about half of the early Nascent Soul stage, while Li Shiming's realm is close to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage. How can he bear it?
"Then I won't be polite. You don't have to call me Master. Just call me Shizhen!" Li Shiming replied with a smile.
We are on a mission together and we don't know how long we will be together, so we really don't need to be too polite to each other.
"Haha, then I will call you Shizhen!" Kang Yuan agreed with a smile.
"Are you the only one guarding here?" Li Shiming asked curiously as he did not sense the presence of other cultivators.
According to the information provided by the sect, the Xuanxi Mountains are a resource point for cultivating third and fourth grade resources. How come Kang Yuan is the only one stationed in such an important place?
It’s not that he looked down on Kang Yuan, but Kang Yuan was just an early Nascent Soul cultivator. Usually, such resource points require middle Nascent Soul cultivators to be stationed there.
Even if there is no mid-Nascent Soul cultivator here, there should be several early-Nascent Soul cultivators stationed here together.
"The resources produced by this resource point only mature once every few hundred years and do not require much care. In addition, this place is close to two other resource points, and the monks stationed at those two resource points can come for support at any time, so there is only one person here." Kang Yuan explained with a smile.
He welcomed Li Shiming into the formation, and Li Shiming also saw the cultivated spiritual medicines. They were indeed spiritual medicines that had been cultivated for a long time. In addition, the natural environment here was special and did not require special care.
Kang Yuan brought Li Shiming to the garrison cave. Li Shiming found that the garrison cave was located at the center of multiple Nascent Soul level spirit veins. He mobilized the spiritual energy of multiple Nascent Soul level spirit veins through the formation, making the spiritual energy of this garrison cave very rich.
Of course, the richness of spiritual energy is relative. Compared with the Nascent Soul Cave in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, it is still a little inferior, but it is very good for a cave located in the wild.
