Li Shiming saw the headquarters of Zhongzhou Trading Company, which was a town-like area consisting of a group of buildings.

This place is different from a normal sect. Many monks are walking around here, just like a market.

He landed outside the headquarters and slowly walked into the headquarters.

The buildings on both sides of the road are workshops for various deputy positions of immortal cultivators, including weapon refiners, alchemists, talisman makers, etc. Almost all the deputy positions of immortal cultivators that can be found are available here.

Maybe it’s because the alchemist has a higher status, so the alchemist’s building is relatively closer to the core area.

Everything here was strange to him, and he walked forward while observing.

On the guest jade disc, there are the locations of the treasure pavilion and the library, and these two places are his destinations.

Li Shiming, who was walking, stopped and found that there was a shop beside the road that specialized in making alchemy furnaces.

He suddenly became interested. Although he had learned the method of refining an alchemy furnace from the inheritance of Bailian Sect, he had not found a suitable one because the materials for refining an alchemy furnace were somewhat rare.

In addition, he already had two fourth-grade alchemy furnaces for alchemy. Refining two furnaces of fourth-grade elixirs at the same time was enough for him, so he was not in a hurry to think about refining the alchemy furnaces.

He walked into the shop, where there were hundreds of alchemy furnaces on display, most of which were first, second and third grade alchemy furnaces. There were only three fourth grade alchemy furnaces.

"What kind of alchemy furnace do you want to buy, senior?" A middle-aged Jindan cultivator dressed in alchemy boy's clothes came forward and bowed and asked.

Don’t wonder why a middle-aged Jindan cultivator would wear Dantong clothing. Dantong clothing is a garment specially worn by cultivators who serve as alchemists. Dantong is just a name and has nothing to do with age.

Of course, many alchemists like to have younger alchemy children serve them so that they can easily find talented ones among them. Some alchemists even come from those alchemy children.

"Are there only three fourth-grade alchemy furnaces?" Li Shiming asked after taking a glance at the three fourth-grade alchemy furnaces.

The quality of the three fourth-grade alchemy furnaces is not very good, all of them are of lower fourth-grade quality.

Although the quality of the fourth-grade alchemy furnace has little impact on the quality of the elixir he refines, the higher the quality of the fourth-grade alchemy furnace, the more it can reduce his consumption when refining the elixir.

Don't underestimate the consumption when refining the elixir. It usually takes more than forty days to refine the elixir of a great monk. If you can reduce some consumption every moment during this period, you can have more energy to continue refining the elixir.

For other alchemy masters, the higher the quality of the fourth-grade alchemy furnace, the higher the quality of the elixir that can be refined. This is complementary to each other.

"Senior, are you not satisfied with these three fourth-grade alchemy furnaces?" The middle-aged Jindan cultivator asked with a little surprise. He soon realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly explained: "The master refiner of our store will refine a fourth-grade intermediate alchemy furnace every few years, but the fourth-grade intermediate alchemy furnaces need to be sent to the auction of the merchant company and will not be sold in our store!"

Li Shiming nodded. He also knew that refining a fourth-grade alchemy furnace was difficult. It involved many aspects, and there were not many refiners who could truly refine a fourth-grade alchemy furnace.

Since the materials for a fourth-grade alchemy furnace are hard to come by, the opportunities to practice are even fewer, which makes it difficult for a fourth-grade alchemy furnace to reach mid-level or above.

The store at the Zhongzhou Trading Company's headquarters should serve the alchemists at the headquarters. The truly high-level alchemy masters within the Zhongzhou Trading Company have other channels to obtain high-quality furnaces.

"How do you pay for the fourth-grade alchemy furnace?" Li Shiming thought for a moment and asked.

"Senior, you can pay with sect contribution points, or you can use other spiritual objects of equal value!" The middle-aged Jindan cultivator understood what Li Shiming meant. It seemed that this was a real customer. The smile on his face became even wider, and he replied with a smile.

"I have some fourth-grade elixirs here. How many do you think are needed to buy these three fourth-grade elixir furnaces?" Li Shiming asked as he took out some jade bottles and placed them on the counter.

He was not worried that the other party would dare to make a random offer. After all, this was not a store outside, but the headquarters of Zhongzhou Trading Company.

Not to mention his mid-Nascent Soul stage, even the status of this stage within the Zhongzhou Trading Company is not something that a mere Golden Core stage cultivator can afford to provoke.

"Please wait a moment, senior!" The middle-aged Jindan cultivator looked at a pile of jade bottles and said, suppressing his inner horror.

He carefully opened each jade bottle, judging the quality of the elixir inside and calculating its value.

The fact that a cultivator could produce so many fourth-grade elixirs, whether they were made by Li Shiming himself or obtained as spoils from other cultivators, showed that Li Shiming was someone who was extremely difficult to provoke.

The fourth-grade elixir that Li Shiming took out was his spoils of war some time ago. Neither he nor his clone Li Yuanba would take these fourth-grade elixirs of poor quality. In addition, both he and his clone Li Yuanba had advanced to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, so the fourth-grade elixirs in the early stage of the Nascent Soul were even more useless.

The contribution points from Zhongzhou Commercial Bank still have uses for him, but these fourth-grade elixirs are useless garbage to him. Using them as currency to buy things is just a waste of resources.

"Senior, the value of these fourth-grade elixirs is almost the same as that of three fourth-grade alchemy furnaces. Please check!" The middle-aged Jindan cultivator carefully put some fourth-grade elixirs aside and said with a bow.

"Then let's trade!" Li Shiming said as he waved his hand and collected the rest of the jade bottles.

The middle-aged Jindan cultivator put away the jade bottle on the counter. He came to where the three fourth-grade alchemy furnaces were placed, chanted a spell to activate the defensive formation, and took out the three fourth-grade alchemy furnaces and placed them in front of Li Shiming.

"Do you sell materials for refining a fourth-grade alchemy furnace?" Li Shiming put away three fourth-grade alchemy furnaces and asked as he thought of something.

"Senior, there is no precedent for this. I need to ask my boss!" The middle-aged Jindan cultivator paused when he heard this. He had never heard of such a request before, but he reacted quickly and bowed.

"Just ask, I'll trade with fourth-grade elixirs!" Li Shiming waved his hand and said.

The middle-aged Jindan cultivator walked aside, and Li Shiming was too lazy to use any means to eavesdrop.

After a while, a middle-aged Jindan cultivator came over with a smile on his face.

"Senior, there happen to be two sets of materials for refining a fourth-grade alchemy furnace in the store, one is lower-grade fourth-grade and the other is mid-grade fourth-grade. Which one do you need?" asked the middle-aged Jindan cultivator with a smile.

He was extremely excited. Even though he was selling an alchemy furnace, it was not easy to obtain a fourth-grade elixir, especially a fourth-grade elixir from the middle Nascent Soul stage.

He explained to the boss that Li Shiming was trading with fourth-grade elixirs, and also said that Li Shiming had a lot of fourth-grade elixirs in his hands, and that the boss himself also needed fourth-grade elixirs. The boss opened this shop to earn resources in exchange for spiritual pills for cultivation.

Directly trading for spiritual elixirs is of course the best option. Even if what Li Shiming needs to buy are materials for refining a fourth-grade alchemy furnace, he can sell them at a high price.

He has his own channels within Zhongzhou Trading Company, and can continuously obtain fourth-grade alchemy furnace materials. Selling one or two fourth-grade alchemy furnace refining materials will not have much impact on him.

"I want them all!" Li Shiming said without any hesitation as he took out another pile of jade bottles and placed them on the counter.

This time the middle-aged Jindan cultivator had experience. He selected a few bottles of fourth-grade elixirs from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul from the jade bottle, and then took out two batches of materials for refining a fourth-grade alchemy furnace.

Li Shiming was also very satisfied. He wanted to use his own refining skills to refine a higher quality fourth-grade alchemy furnace.

In fact, if the material of his Taichu Treasure Cauldron was only of upper fourth grade, with the wisdom of the spirit inside the Taichu Treasure Cauldron, it would have a great chance of becoming a spiritual treasure.

However, among the fourth-grade alchemy furnaces, the upper fourth-grade ones are already of extremely high quality. At least among the fourth-grade alchemy furnaces that Li Shiming has seen, the 'Taichu Treasure Ding' is of the highest quality.

He wanted to see if he could use the materials of a fourth-grade intermediate-level alchemy furnace to refine an alchemy furnace that was better than the "Taichu Treasure Cauldron".

He left the shop and continued walking towards the treasure house.

The Treasure Pavilion is located in the core area of ​​the Zhongzhou Trading Company headquarters. When arriving at the core area, the number of cultivators here is obviously much smaller.

Li Shiming walked into the treasure house and said that it was more like a magic weapon, a giant magic weapon, than a building.

The entire treasure pavilion is a magical weapon made entirely of fourth-grade materials. This method of refining the weapon is somewhat similar to the method of refining mountain-type magical weapons.

It’s just that the mountain-type magic weapons that are refined are offensive magic weapons, while this treasure pavilion belongs to a special type of magic weapon.

As I walked into the treasure pavilion, I felt the aura of a great monk locking onto me.

"I'm here to get 'Thousand Thunders and Ten Thousand Grinds of Gold'. This is my jade disc!" Li Shiming didn't want to cause any misunderstanding, so he took out the guest jade disc and said.

Although he couldn't see the figure of the great monk, he knew that the great monk must be watching him in some way.

"Li Shizhen, are you Master Li from the Dongqi branch?" The great monk's voice sounded somewhat surprised, as if the other party knew Li Shiming.

"That's right!" Li Shiming replied.

"Wang Changdong meets Master Li!" A figure appeared in front of Li Shiming. He was a tall monk whose age was unknown. He had a smile on his face and bowed to Li Shiming very politely.

"Li Shizhen greets Senior Wang!" Li Shiming quickly returned the greeting.

He didn't understand why Wang Changdong was so polite. Although he was a master of alchemy and had a very high status, it was not enough for a great monk he didn't know to treat him like this.

"Master Li, I still have to thank you a lot. You made a fourth-grade high-level limb regeneration pill for me, which prevented me from becoming a disabled person!" Wang Changdong explained with a smile.

When he said this, he used telepathy.

He still remembered the original agreement that the fact that Li Shiming was able to refine the fourth-grade advanced elixir for great monks had to be kept secret.

Li Shiming used only three portions of materials for a fourth-grade limb regeneration elixir to refine a fourth-grade high-level limb regeneration elixir. Apart from the two people from the Dongqi Continental branch, the only person involved in this matter was the great monk.

Wang Changdong was the unlucky monk who was severely injured. After receiving the fourth-grade advanced elixir for regenerating severed limbs refined by Li Shiming, he returned to the headquarters of Zhongzhou Trading Company to recuperate.

Although his broken limbs were repaired with the help of a fourth-grade advanced limb regeneration elixir, his injuries still required a long period of recuperation, so he took on the task of guarding the treasure pavilion.

"I also want to thank Senior Wang. If it weren't for Senior Wang's 'Nascent Soul Early Stage Fourth Level Breakthrough Pill', I don't know how long I would have been trapped in the Nascent Soul Early Stage!" Li Shiming would not accept this favor, and he replied with a smile.

The two parties were actually just engaged in a transaction, and the transaction had already ended.

"Now that Master Li has come to our headquarters, I must do my best to show my hospitality. After everything is over, I will take Master Li to taste the delicious food at our headquarters!" Wang Changdong said with a smile.

He would not let the connection between them disappear. He was very clear about Li Shiming's alchemy ability. If he did not make friends with this alchemy master, he would have a problem.

"Thank you very much. Please take out the 'Thousand Thunders and Ten Thousand Refined Gold' for me!" Li Shiming bowed and said.

Wang Changdong was too enthusiastic, and he couldn't refuse. Besides, it wasn't a bad thing to make friends with a great monk from the Zhongzhou continent.

"Master Li, give me the guest jade disc!" Wang Changdong said to Li Shiming.

Li Shiming handed the guest jade disc to Wang Changdong and watched Wang Changdong place the guest jade disc on a formation.

This formation is used to scan the information in the guest jade disc. After waiting for a while, there was a fluctuation of space energy at the side, and a jade box was teleported over.

"I can't access the fourth-grade resources in the Treasure Pavilion. They are completely controlled by the formation of the Treasure Pavilion. They can only be taken out when the conditions are met!" Wang Changdong handed the guest jade disc and jade box to Li Shiming and explained.

Li Shiming showed curiosity, but he also understood that this treasure house was not something he could study.

In his opinion, there was a high probability that there were spirit objects in the treasure trove, and the functions of those formations were similar to those of computers in his previous life, both of which could analyze and process some information.

However, this kind of knowledge, which is related to the core of a superpower, will never be accessible to him unless he obtains extremely high power in Zhongzhou Trading Company.

Given his status as a guest official, it is probably completely impossible.

He put away the guest jade disc, opened the jade box and checked the 'Thousand Thunders and Ten Thousand Refined Gold'.

It's not that he didn't believe Wang Changdong. The fact was that Wang Changdong had never come into contact with the spiritual object in the jade box. He was just curious about the 'Thousand Thunders and Ten Thousand Refined Gold'.

The knowledge he had obtained about "Thousands of Thunders and Ten Thousands of Gold" were all records in classics, and he had never seen the real thing.

As soon as the jade box was opened, lightning flashed everywhere. When Li Shiming's consciousness moved slightly, all the lightning was suppressed inside the jade box.

This is a rectangular piece of 'Thousands of Thunders and Ten Thousand Refinements of Gold', which has undergone preliminary smelting, removal of impurities, and preliminary processing.

His eyes flashed with brilliance. This 'Thousand Thunders and Ten Thousand Refined Gold' perfectly met his requirements. It seemed that strengthening the 'Sky-Strike Thunder Hammer' would not be a problem.

"Master Li, it will take some time to find someone to replace me. I will reserve a seat in Yuntian Pavilion. How about we meet in Yuntian Pavilion tomorrow at noon?" Wang Changdong asked for Li Shiming's opinion with a smile.

"I will be there on time tomorrow!" Li Shiming replied with a smile.
