In the Xuanxi Mountains, Li Shiming was checking the formation of the resource point here. The formation here was also the work of a formation master, but he found many problems in his eyes.

He did not touch the original formation, but added the fourth-grade formation flag he brought with him into the formation, strengthening the formation at this resource point.

He didn't care about anything else. He did this just to ensure his own safety. When he left, he would take the fourth-grade formation flag with him and restore the formation to its original state.

Kang Yuan had no opinion on what Li Shiming did.

Kang Yuan knew very well that Li Shiming's status in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was far higher than his own, and he would not oppose Li Shiming on such matters.

Besides, this is a good thing. With Li Shiming's wealth, strengthening the formation at this time is also to ensure his own safety.

"Shizhen, this is the spiritual fruit I grew. I give it to you for tasting!" On the second day after Li Shiming moved into the cave, Kang Yuan came to see Li Shiming with the spiritual fruit.

"Kang Yuan, come in quickly. I have some good tea here!" Li Shiming smiled and invited Kang Yuan into the hall of the cave.

Kang Yuan was very nice. Originally, there were four garrison caves, but he gave the best one to Li Shiming, which is the garrison cave where Li Shiming lives now.

Li Shiming discovered this after he moved in, and naturally he wanted to appreciate it.

Kang Yuan placed the spiritual fruit on the table. The spiritual fruit was a fourth-grade spiritual fruit that he grew here. Although it was not very precious, it was the best thing he could offer as a treat.

He produced spiritual fruit, and Li Shiming produced spiritual tea, which was roasted by Li Shiming himself.

Kang Yuan had heard of this spiritual tea a long time ago, but unfortunately, he could not get his hands on tea of ​​this quality.

He sniffed the scent of the spiritual tea and felt that his fourth-grade spiritual fruit was not good enough.

His original plan could not be spoken out loud because of the fourth-grade spiritual tea in his hand.

"Kang Yuan, we will be together for a while, just tell me if you have anything to say!" Li Shiming saw his hesitation and said with a smile.

"I have saved some spiritual medicines over the years, and I would like to ask you to help me make pills. I understand the rules, and I have prepared the reward!" Kang Yuan said as he took out several fourth-grade lower-level refining materials, all of which were materials for refining fourth-grade flying swords.

Li Shiming smiled and did not tell Kang Yuan that he had received the news too late. His current reward for alchemy was no longer this kind of fourth-grade refining material.

The clone Li Yuanba can independently add a fourth-grade flying sword to the 'Wanjian Peak'. Li Yuanba uses alchemy to exchange the fourth-grade flying sword from the sword cultivators of Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion. The sword intent contained in the fourth-grade flying sword is diverse and more suitable for 'Wanjian Peak'.

"You prepare the elixir. I haven't planned to go into seclusion these days, so I'll start making elixirs when I have nothing to do!" Li Shiming said with a smile.

"It's been prepared long ago. This is the magic medicine, and this is the reward!" Kang Yuan smiled widely. He took out two storage bags and handed them over.

Li Shiming took the storage bag, scanned the spiritual objects inside with his spiritual sense, and put the storage bag aside.

Kang Yuan has enough elixirs to make almost twenty furnaces. It's obvious that Kang Yuan has been storing them for a long time.

It is not so easy for a monk stationed here to obtain fourth-grade spiritual medicine. He can only exchange it with the reward for the garrison mission.

In the days that followed, this resource point was extremely peaceful.

In the outside world, Yuqing Sect's Lei Xiu's overbearing behavior became increasingly apparent.

The Yuqing Sect also had a plan in place. After occupying the Dayue Mountains, it relied on the Dayue Mountains to expand to the surrounding areas.

All the small and medium-sized forces around obeyed the orders of Yuqing Sect. This was also the deterrent brought by Yuqing Sect's extermination of Bairimen.

No force is willing to become the second Bai Ri Men. You must know that Bai Ri Men is the strongest sect in this area.

Even in the Dongqi Continent, the Bai Ri Sect is the sect that is closest to a large sect, below the four major sects.

Even if the four major local sects stepped in, they could not resist the trend of surrender of various forces.

It was actually the Yanri Sect, one of the four local sects, which was almost wiped out by two great monks. The influence of this incident did not dissipate, and it became more widely spread with the invasion of the Yuqing Sect.

The shadow of Yuqing Sect is involved here. Yuqing Sect uses various means to suppress the influence of the four local sects.

As Yuqing Sect's purpose became more and more obvious, the four local sects also began to fight back.

Battles between Nascent Soul cultivators occurred from time to time in various places in the Dongqi Continent, and Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators were involved in almost every battle.

Some of these battles were initiated by Yuqing Sect, but more of them were counterattacks by the four local sects and organizations, who used their advantages in intelligence, environment, numbers and terrain to systematically kill Yuqing Sect's thunder cultivators.

Li Shiming had been living very comfortably recently, as Kang Yuan's twenty furnaces of elixirs did not take him long.

In fact, with his alchemy ability, it was enough to refine seven out of twenty furnaces of elixirs, and he kept the rest of the elixirs. In addition, he could refine two furnaces of fourth-grade elixirs at the same time, so the whole alchemy process was completed in just a few days.

Afterwards, he entered his own cave and practiced in the "Tianren Dao" hall, leaving only the golden corpse Nanming to guard the cave.

With the Golden Corpse Nanming stationed in the cave, he will be the first to know if anything happens.

In the past, he didn't dare to open his own cave at the mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. You have to know that the mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is protected by a cave. He doesn't know much about caves, and can't judge whether he will be discovered if he opens a cave in the mountain gate.

He didn't dare to try such a thing. The value of a cave was too great, so great that even the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect would not let it go.

With his status in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, even if he was a disciple of Master Hu, he would not be able to guard a cave.

But it was different at the Xuanxi Mountains resource point. Here he could enter and exit the cave freely without being discovered by anyone.

The spiritual energy in the 'Tianren Dao' hall was abundant, which greatly improved the effect of his cultivation.

After consuming most of the 'Purple Thunder Plasma', in the fourth month after he arrived at the Xuanxi Mountain Resource Point, he successfully raised his realm to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.

He stopped consuming the 'Purple Thunder Plasma' and collected the remaining 'Purple Thunder Plasma'.

Currently at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, he does not need special resources to improve his strength, but needs to find an opportunity for promotion. As long as the opportunity comes, he will be able to be promoted to the middle Nascent Soul stage.

For normal practice, you don’t even need a fourth-grade practice-assisting elixir. Just practice normally in a place with sufficient spiritual energy.

Li Shiming came out of the cave. He felt the bottleneck of the middle stage of Nascent Soul. The membrane was right in front of him. He seemed to be able to touch it, but it was a little bit lacking.

His understanding of the five elements was actually sufficient. Even his understanding of the 'Jade Purity Thunder Code' was made up for by the cultivation experience of Wang Yuan from the Jade Purity Sect.

His understanding of the 'Jade Purity Thunder Code' is equivalent to the level of the core cultivators of the Jade Purity Sect, or even higher.

After all, not every core cultivator of Yuqing Sect has the guidance of a Lei cultivator who is beyond the level of a great cultivator. The cultivation experience that Li Shiming obtained was the guidance of that Lei cultivator who was beyond the level of a great cultivator and recorded by Wang Yuan.

In addition, his understanding of the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky' was also very profound.

The foundation of Li Shiming's cultivation is on the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Art', and the rest like the 'Jade Purity Thunder Classic' and the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky Art' are all practiced concurrently. It is enough to have considerable attainments in the concurrent techniques, and it is not necessary to reach the level of breaking through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

As long as his understanding of the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Art' reaches the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, then in theory he will have the foundation for advancement to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

The rest depends on his luck, because the opportunity for promotion has no regular pattern at all. Perhaps seeing a battle, experiencing an event, or just drinking a cup of spiritual tea may give him an opportunity for promotion.

When Li Shiming thought about the opportunity for promotion, he felt helpless.

He is now on a mission, guarding a resource point in the Xuanxi Mountains. According to the sect's mission instructions, he will have to stay here for at least three years. As for what will happen after three years, that will depend on the war situation.

If you want to find opportunities for promotion, the best way is to travel.

Only by traveling can you be exposed to more affairs and have more chances to find your own promotion opportunities.

"Forget it, let's just take a break for a while!" Li Shiming shook his head and said to himself.

His training speed was fast enough, so it didn't matter if he wasted some time.

Of course, it is not a waste to take a break for a while. Combining work and rest is the way to practice. Blindly practicing hard is not the best option.

He walked out of the cave he hadn't left for several months and inspected the resource points.

He has not done this work since he came to this resource point. Kang Yuan did it all for him.

Kang Yuan had no objection to this. After all, Li Shiming had refined a fourth-grade elixir for him, and the quality of the elixir satisfied Kang Yuan.

Kang Yuan was so happy that he could repay Li Shiming in this way.

"Shizhen, you are coming out of retreat..." Kang Yuan, who sensed that Li Shiming had come out of retreat, came to Li Shiming and said with a smile.

Kang Yuan stopped talking halfway and stared blankly at Li Shiming's figure.

He sensed Li Shiming's aura, which was at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, which made him a little stunned and confused.

Li Shiming is very famous in the Wanshou Sect, which also makes some of Li Shiming's past known to many cultivators.

It is no secret when Li Shiming was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage. Looking at the time it took Li Shiming to be promoted to the Nascent Soul stage and reach the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, and then thinking about his own cultivation time, Kang Yuan felt like he was living a dog's life at his age.

He couldn't help but ask himself, is this the gap between a genius and an ordinary cultivator?

He spent hundreds of years, almost consuming half of his lifespan, but still failed to reach the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage. However, Li Shiming reached the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage in just a few decades.

"I have gained some insights during my retreat, and my realm has improved a little!" It was impossible for Li Shiming to talk about the 'Purple Thunder Plasma'. He also knew Kang Yuan's surprise, so he explained with a smile.

"Shizhen, it seems that it won't be long before I will have to call you senior when we meet!" Kang Yuan said with a wry smile, shaking his head.

He felt deeply powerless, and even his rock-hard faith was shaken.

When Li Shiming was about to say something, his and Kang Yuan's identity jade discs vibrated at the same time.

He took out his identity jade disc and found that it was a distress signal sent by one of the two nearby resource points, which stated that three Lei Xiu in the early Nascent Soul stage were attacking the formation of the resource point.

Although there were three early Nascent Soul cultivators stationed at that resource point, the enemy was a thunder cultivator of the same level.

Thunder cultivators are extremely rare, and their attack power is one of the strongest among the same level, on par with sword cultivators.

Let alone one-on-one, even if it was two-on-one or three-on-one, the early Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect were not sure of dealing with the Thunder Cultivator of the Jade Purity Sect.

This is the case for the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Wanshou Sect, who almost all have a fourth-grade lower-order spirit pet. If it were the Nascent Soul cultivators in the other three major sects, the situation would be even worse.

"Shizhen, how do you think we can ask for help?" Kang Yuan asked Li Shiming without any hesitation.

He knew that his status was far inferior to Li Shiming's, both in terms of strength and sect status, so he could only obey Li Shiming's orders.

"Kang Yuan, you stay here and activate all the formations. I will go to rescue. If this side is attacked, send me a message immediately!" Li Shiming thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

Although he had never seen Kang Yuan fight, he could sense from the aura on Kang Yuan that Kang Yuan's strength was very ordinary, and even adding a powerful spirit pet would not change much.

Besides, Li Shiming has just reached the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, and he needs to try to find an opportunity for promotion through fighting.

"Be careful!" Kang Yuan nodded in response.

He also knew that Li Shiming would never let him go to rescue. If he really let him go, it would mean that he wanted him to die.

Only Li Shiming here has such strength to deal with three Yuanying early stage thunder cultivators.

Li Shiming did not take back the fourth-grade formation flag. He flew out of the formation of the resource point and looked at the direction. The aura on his body was obscure. This was because he used the "Hidden Phoenix Jade Talisman" and activated the stealth ability of the "Color-Changing Cloak".

With the combination of the 'Hidden Phoenix Jade Talisman' and the 'Color-Changing Cloak', even if he encountered a Nascent Soul cultivator at close range, it would be extremely difficult for him to detect his presence.

The 'Hidden Phoenix Jade Talisman' is so powerful that it can hide all of his aura without a single trace leaking out, and it can also selectively hide aura.

He used the technique of "A World Away" to head towards the resource point. At the same time, he used his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15 to call up the drone satellite system to check the monitoring footage of the resource point.

Judging from the picture, that resource point has not been broken into yet.

Although the three Nascent Soul early stage cultivators of the Wanshou Sect are far inferior to the three Nascent Soul early stage thunder cultivators of the Yuqing Sect in terms of combat power, with the support of the formation, it is not a problem for them to hold out for some time.

Of course, the prerequisite is that there is no core cultivator among the three Yuanying early stage thunder cultivators of Yuqing Sect, otherwise the combat power of the thunder cultivator cannot be judged by common sense.
