"The great monk from Luanfeng Palace is here!" Great monk Hu said to Li Shiming while casting a spell to open the restrictions of the cave.
It seems that the female cultivators of Luanfeng Palace knew that Li Shiming had come out of retreat, and they couldn't wait any longer. As soon as they knew Li Shiming had arrived here, they chased after him.
Li Shiming looked outside and saw three female monks flying into the cave.
Grand monks are extremely rare, and female grand monks are even rarer.
The probability of three female monks appearing at the same time is extremely low.
Li Shiming looked at the three female monks. He knew Monk Li, but he met the other two female monks for the first time.
At the level of a great monk, the so-called beauty of a female monk is no longer so important. No monk dares to look at a female great monk from the perspective of gender.
Of course, this does not mean that female monks are not beautiful. On the contrary, unlike male monks who deliberately make themselves look more mature in order to maintain their dignity, female monks pay more attention to their appearance.
Each of the three female monks is a beauty. Nascent Soul monks can adjust their appearance, and it is not difficult to make themselves look extremely beautiful, but the temperament of the three female monks cannot be achieved through adjustment.
"This is Master Li. The spiritual tea brewed by Master Li is unparalleled in the world, and his alchemy skills are rare in the world!" As soon as Master Li met them, he introduced Li Shiming to the two female masters beside him.
"Greetings, Senior Sister Li, and greetings to the two great monks!" Li Shiming took the initiative to step forward and greeted.
"Master Li, I've heard of your name for a long time. My name is Ding Shuyi, and we finally meet!" Master Ding chuckled and bowed slightly to return the greeting.
"Jiang Hongye greets Master Li!" Great Monk Jiang also bowed slightly and said.
These two female monks treated Li Shiming with great respect, and this respect came from Li Shiming's alchemy ability.
They came to ask for help. Even though they were born in Luanfeng Palace and had protected the Wanshou Sect, they still maintained enough respect for Li Shiming.
"Please sit down, Shizhen. I'd like to trouble you to make a pot of spiritual tea. I, your master, really want to drink it too!" Monk Hu greeted with a smile.
Li Shiming would not refuse. He took out the Taichu Treasure Cauldron and brewed a pot of fourth-grade spiritual tea for the great monks present.
It was the first time for both Master Ding and Master Jiang to taste the fourth-grade spiritual tea brewed by Li Shiming. They were not unfamiliar with Li Shiming's fourth-grade spiritual tea. The fourth-grade spiritual tea brewed by Li Shiming himself was already the best spiritual tea they had ever tasted.
But after tasting a sip of the fourth-grade spiritual tea brewed by Li Shiming, they finally understood what a perfect fourth-grade spiritual tea is.
"Master Li, I think you know what we want. This is the reward we have prepared. Just when we came out this time, the fruits of the longevity tree in the palace were ripe. We took two longevity fruits as a reward. Master Li, please refine five furnaces of elixirs for us!" After breaking away from the atmosphere of tasting the fourth-grade spiritual tea, Master Ding spoke directly.
When Master Ding mentioned the word "Shou Ling Fruit", Li Shiming discovered that his master, Master Hu, looked slightly excited.
There are many spiritual trees in the world of immortal cultivation. Li Shiming is not familiar with the "Shou Ling Fruit" and this is the first time he has heard of this name.
But judging from the name 'Shou Ling Fruit', this should be a spiritual fruit that can increase lifespan.
Every spiritual object that increases lifespan is extremely precious.
However, considering Li Shiming's age, it is still too early to consider the issue of longevity, but this does not affect his interest in the 'Shouling Fruit'.
It would take about four months to make five furnaces of elixir for the great monk, assuming he was refining two furnaces at the same time.
"I'll start refining the elixir when I get back!" Li Shiming nodded in response.
Master Ding took out the five spiritual medicines needed to refine the master's elixir, as well as two separate jade boxes.
The three great monks met Li Shiming, tasted the fourth-grade spiritual tea brewed by Li Shiming himself, and entrusted the matter of alchemy to him. They left with satisfaction.
Li Shiming deliberately did not leave with them, but waited for the three great monks to leave first.
"Master, what is the use of this 'Shou Ling Fruit'?" Li Shiming took the two jade boxes containing the 'Shou Ling Fruit' and asked Master Hu.
“I didn’t expect that they would use ‘Shouling Fruit’ as a reward for alchemy. They value you very much.
The "Shou Ling Fruit" is a fruit that prolongs life. Each fruit can prolong life by thirty years. The special thing about it is that each cultivator can take up to ten "Shou Ling Fruits" in his lifetime. Any more will be useless. "Master Hu deliberately did not look at the two jade boxes. He explained to Li Shiming.
He wanted to possess the 'Longevity Fruit' very much. At his level, every extra bit of lifespan could bring a completely different future.
Lifespan and great monk resources are obstacles that restrict great monks from making further progress. More lifespan can also allow great monks to live longer.
"Master, these two 'Shouling Fruits' are for you. It's a waste for me to use them at my age!" Li Shiming said without any hesitation as he pushed the two jade boxes in front of Master Hu.
"Do you know how precious this 'Longevity Fruit' is? Even if the Luanfeng Palace has planted the Longevity Tree, only thirty 'Longevity Fruits' are produced every three hundred years. It is extremely difficult for outsiders to obtain a 'Longevity Fruit'!
Even though you still have a long life span, a little more life span means more hope. I don’t want you to regret it in the future!” Monk Hu did not take the jade box containing the ‘Shou Ling Fruit’, but persuaded him in a deep voice.
"Master, I have the confidence to be promoted to a great monk and break through the realm of a great monk!" Li Shiming said seriously.
The confidence he displayed made Master Hu slightly distracted.
Li Shiming's confidence came from the fact that he had advanced to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul in less than a hundred years.
His future is bright. Becoming a great monk is no longer his goal. His goal is to reach the Mahayana stage.
"I accept the 'Shou Ling Fruits'. I want to thank you on behalf of Brother Zhang. Great Monk Zhang Dansheng, who has been in seclusion in the sect, is almost at the end of his life. With these two 'Shou Ling Fruits', Brother Zhang still has hope!" said Great Monk Hu after accepting the two jade boxes.
Although the two 'Shouling Fruits' can only increase Master Zhang Dansheng's life span by 60 years, with 60 years of time, Master Zhang Dansheng can at least protect the sect for 60 years.
Li Shiming left the cave of Master Hu. He took out the contact card and sent a message to Xin Jingyun of Zhongzhou Trading Company, informing him of his promotion to the middle stage of Nascent Soul and ordering a batch of fourth-grade Chaoyuan Grass from Zhongzhou Trading Company.
Two days later, when he was refining medicine in the cave, he received a message from Great Monk Liu Ziyun, saying that Great Monk Liu Ziyun was visiting him in person.
He hesitated for a moment and released the Golden Corpse Nanming.
Nan Ming, who has reached the Golden Corpse realm, is almost the same as a normal cultivator except that his skin is golden.
Li Shiming put a brain into the body of the golden corpse Nanming and controlled the golden corpse Nanming to leave the cave.
"Manager Liu, my real body is currently refining the elixir and has no time to entertain guests. Please forgive me!" said the golden corpse Nanming.
Only those at the Golden Corpse level can speak like a human. It is said that when a Golden Corpse has cultivated to the upper level of the Golden Corpse, which is equivalent to the level of a great cultivator, the Golden Corpse can be indistinguishable from a real person.
"It's my fault for being so presumptuous!" Great Monk Liu Ziyun did not seem unhappy. Li Shiming was able to use his mind to control the golden corpse to come out to see him while refining the elixir. This was already a great honor to him.
Who told him to come here without notifying in advance?
The main reason was that when he heard that Li Shiming had become a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, he could no longer sit still and immediately rushed to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
His interest in Li Shiming now is not only in his ability as a master of alchemy, but also in his future potential.
He knew that Li Shiming had a scarlet-gold phoenix spirit pet. Although the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect kept this secret, the Zhongzhou Trading Company had very close connections in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. As the director of the Zhongzhou Trading Company in the Dongqi Continent, it was very easy for him to get the information.
With a red-gold phoenix spirit pet, using the secret method of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, as long as it reaches the middle Nascent Soul stage, the red-gold phoenix can be promoted to the upper fourth grade. In this way, Li Shiming will be equivalent to the combat power of a great cultivator.
This is only the aspect of spiritual pets. Li Shiming was promoted to the middle stage of Nascent Soul within a hundred years. Judging from his talent in cultivation, it is only a matter of time before he is promoted to the realm of great monk.
Li Shiming even has a certain chance of breaking through to become a great monk, which is what Liu Ziyun values.
Even though Li Shiming's chance of breaking through to become a great monk is very low, compared to other Nascent Soul monks, his chance of breaking through is already very high.
"Please come in and have a seat!" Li Shiming controlled the golden corpse Nanming and made a gesture of invitation.
Sitting down in the hall of the cave, Jinshi Nanming brought out the tea set and asked the great monk Liu Ziyun to brew the tea himself.
Although this is a bit rude, it is better than Li Shiming using the Golden Corpse Nanming to brew spiritual tea. The Golden Corpse Nanming possesses cold and yin energy, which will affect the taste of the spiritual tea when brewed.
"Master Li, these are forty portions of 'Chao Yuan Grass'. Zhongzhou Trading Company will continue to collect 'Chao Yuan Grass' and more will be delivered later. These forty portions of 'Chao Yuan Grass' can be regarded as gifts from the trading company to you, congratulations on your advancement to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul!" Great monk Liu Ziyun took out a storage bag and placed it in front of the golden corpse Nanming and said.
Li Shiming was shocked by the generosity of Zhongzhou Trading Company and the great monk Liu Ziyun.
'Chao Yuan Grass' is a fourth-grade spiritual medicine. Even though the yield is quite good, the total value of forty portions of 'Chao Yuan Grass' is not low at all.
Zhongzhou Commercial Bank gave the gift as soon as it said it would, which made Li Shiming feel the sincerity of Zhongzhou Commercial Bank.
"Thank you, Manager Liu!" Li Shiming controlled the golden corpse Nanming and bowed to express his gratitude.
"I would also like to thank Master Li. I had previously refined a fourth-grade advanced limb regeneration pill for the middle Nascent Soul stage. The great monk who treated him is my best friend!" Great Monk Liu Ziyun also bowed and saluted.
Although he didn't know why Li Shiming suppressed his own alchemy level, he clearly had the ability to refine fourth-grade high-level elixirs, but he always kept the quality of the elixirs at the fourth-grade intermediate level.
However, Li Shiming broke the rules and refined a fourth-grade high-level elixir for the great monk of Zhongzhou Trading Company. For this, Zhongzhou Trading Company owed Li Shiming a big favor.
"I want some information about the Yuqing Sect. I wonder how much it will cost?" Li Shiming thought of something and asked.
Yuqing Sect has always been a huge trouble. Since Yuqing Sect is a super sect in Xiyan Continent, the intelligence system of Wanshou Sect can only be effective within Dongqi Continent, and it will not work outside Dongqi Continent.
Therefore, if Li Shiming wanted to obtain information about the Yuqing Sect, he had to find a way from the Zhongzhou Trading Company.
"Master Li is a guest of the trading company. I will take the initiative to share the information about Yuqing Sect with you!" Great Monk Liu Ziyun was extremely generous. Upon hearing what Li Shiming asked, he smiled and waved his hand to make the decision.
Although Zhongzhou Trading Company cannot intervene in the struggles among various forces and needs to remain neutral, for Li Shiming's safety, they provide some intelligence support to Li Shiming free of charge, which is not a big deal.
Anyway, Zhongzhou Trading Company will collect this information regardless of whether Li Shiming needs it or not.
"Manager Liu, there is one more thing I want to ask you. If it is inconvenient, you don't have to answer!" Li Shiming said hesitantly.
"Master Li, please speak. I will tell you what I can answer!" Great Monk Liu Ziyun was slightly stunned, then said with a smile.
He understood that Li Shiming was going to ask some confidential information, which was why he said that.
"I would like to ask where can I get the opportunity to inherit the water and wood magical powers?" Li Shiming asked.
This was a question that he was extremely concerned about. In the past, when he only had the 'Nanming Lihuo' magical power, he had never thought about the water and wood magical powers.
Now, in addition to the fire-related magical power "Nanming Lihuo", he also has the earth-related magical power "Invisible Yuanci" and the gold-related magical power "Samadhi Divine Wind".
He still lacks the magical powers of wood and water to practice the "Heaven and Man Art". The conditions for practicing the "Heaven and Man Art" are extremely harsh. Not only does it require all five elements, but it also requires the mastery of five magical powers of the five elements.
When he was in the Northern Shu Continent, he had seen many magical powers and thought that there were a lot of them. But after arriving in the Eastern Qi Continent, he realized that in the world of immortal cultivation, magical powers were extremely rare.
In other words, he was lucky and obtained three of the five elements and five systems of magical powers, which made it possible for him to practice the "Heavenly Art".
Although the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Art' he is practicing now is extremely compatible with him, there is still some gap between the 'Five Rhymes Qi Training Art' and the 'Heavenly Art'.
'Heaven and Man Secret' is the inheritance of the great Zhai Ge. 'Heaven and Man Secret' requires the Nascent Soul stage as the starting point for cultivation, and it has great hope of being promoted to the Mahayana stage.
Before the end of his life, Zhai Ge summarized his lifelong cultivation and insights, and put all his ideas into the "Heaven and Man Secret".
The most important thing is that if he doesn't practice the 'Heavenly Art', he won't be able to truly possess the cave heaven of the powerful Zhai Ge. Even for the sake of the resources in the cave heaven, he plans to find a way to practice the 'Heavenly Art'.
"Water-based magical powers and wood-based magical powers?" Great monk Liu Ziyun pondered for a moment, recalling the information about this in his mind.
Li Shiming was waiting for the reply from Great Monk Liu Ziyun with anticipation. If Zhongzhou Trading Company didn't know, then it would be even more difficult to master the last two kinds of Five Elements magical powers.
