After entering the treasure pavilion, Li Shiming did not extend his spiritual consciousness, but instead checked the situation inside the treasure pavilion through communication with Great Monk Luo Pei.
It is best not to reveal any clues in a treasure house controlled by spirits, otherwise the consequences will be very troublesome.
The treasure pavilion is divided into four floors, which contain spiritual objects of lower, middle, upper and top quality.
Great Monk Luo Pei did not stay in the lower three floors for long, he went directly to the fourth floor.
As soon as he entered the fourth floor, he was shocked by the strength of the Fu Liu Sect.
There are many holes on the wall of the fourth floor of the treasure pavilion. Each hole contains a spiritual object, and they are all of the top fourth-grade quality.
Even though Li Shiming had some knowledge, he was still shocked by the strength of the Fu Liu Sect. There were nearly forty top-grade fourth-grade spiritual objects here.
Most of them are top-grade fourth-level magic weapons, more than thirty of which are top-grade fourth-level magic weapons. The rest are some top-grade fourth-level special treasures. As for the top-grade fourth-level refining materials, there are only four left.
This is not difficult to understand. Although a fourth-grade top-level magic weapon is good, for a Nascent Soul cultivator, unless the level of refining is far beyond his own level, a ready-made fourth-grade top-level magic weapon is not as good as a magic weapon refined by himself using fourth-grade top-level refining materials.
In addition, the fourth-grade top-level magic weapons obtained by the cultivators of the Fuliu Sect outside can be exchanged for the sect at a discount, and the sect will give certain contribution points.
Therefore, with continuous accumulation, it is normal to have so many top-grade fourth-level magic weapons.
What surprised Li Shiming was that this was even after the Fu Liu Sect had declined for thousands of years. If the former Fu Liu Sect, or the super powers in the Zhongzhou Continent, had possessed so many top-grade fourth-level spiritual objects!
Great Monk Luo Pei set his sights on four pieces of fourth-grade top-level refining materials. There were no wood-type and no gold-type, one earth-type and one water-type fourth-grade top-level refining materials, as well as two pieces of fourth-grade top-level materials taken from fourth-grade upper-level spirit beasts.
The majority of the Fu Liu Sect's cultivators are wood-type cultivators, so it is normal that there are no wood-type magic weapons. Gold-type magic weapons are also the most widely used because they can be refined into universal flying swords. It is also normal that there are no top-grade fourth-grade refining materials for these two types.
He did not hesitate. When he was able to choose a top-grade fourth-grade material, after he did not find any refining materials that could be used by both the original body Li Shiming and the clone Li Yuanba among these top-grade fourth-grade refining materials, he prepared a top-grade fourth-grade water-based refining material for Master Luo Pei.
He placed the great monk's jade disc on the formation that protected the fourth-grade top-level water-type refining materials. The protective formation in the concave hole disappeared, and he took out the refining materials inside.
He felt the chill as soon as he touched it, and recognized that it was a fourth-grade top-grade water-based material called 'Ice Secret Gold'.
'Ice Secret Gold' is an extremely special combination of ice crystals. Because it has certain metallic properties, it is the material for refining water-based flying swords.
The properties of the 'Secret Ice Gold' are in line with those of the great monk Luo Pei, so Li Shiming decided to use the 'Secret Ice Gold' to refine a water-based flying sword magic treasure.
With a water-type flying sword magic treasure, even if Master Luo Pei's combat power is poor, it can be made up a little, and at least he can have the combat power of an ordinary master.
He took another look at the fourth-grade top-level earth-based refining material. In fact, he also had some ideas about that earth-based refining material.
When I have enough contribution points in the future, I will see if these fourth-grade top-level earth-based refining materials are still available. If they are, I will exchange them.
After leaving the treasure pavilion, Great Monk Hu Shiming did not ask anything. However, there was no need to ask. Great Monk Hu Shiming only needed to use his great monk authority to check and he would know what Great Monk Luo Pei had taken from the treasure pavilion.
He already knew that Master Luo Pei had taken away the 'Secret Gold of Ice', which was not surprising. As a water-based master, it would be strange for Master Luo Pei not to take away the 'Secret Gold of Ice' but to take away other refining materials.
He took Master Luo Pei to see the library, but this time he did not let Master Luo Pei enter the library. He asked Master Luo Pei to come here when he had time.
Finally, he took the great monk Luo Pei and left Yimu Cave Heaven, came to the mountain gate of Fuliu Sect, and stopped in front of a mountain in the center.
"Junior Brother Luo, this mountain will be your cave residence in the future. If you need a formation master, you can apply to the sect. If you need any other materials, you can owe them to the sect first and repay them later with contribution points!" Great Monk Hu Shiming said, pointing to the mountain.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Hu!" Great Monk Luo Pei bowed slightly.
"Wait until you settle down, then we'll get together again!" Great Monk Hu Shiming said with a smile.
Master Luo Pei used his master jade disc to open the mountain formation. After entering the formation, he looked at the mountain that would belong to him in the future.
From the foot to the top of this mountain, it is all fourth-grade spiritual fields, in which some fourth-grade spiritual plants are planted.
From now on, the output of these spiritual fields will belong to him. As for the management of these fourth-grade spiritual fields, Fuliu Sect has professional spiritual plant masters who will come to help manage them, so he doesn't need to worry too much.
All he needs to pay is a few contribution points.
As a great monk of the Fu Liu Sect, he could earn a large amount of contribution points every year without doing anything.
Although these contribution points cannot be exchanged for fourth-grade top-level refining materials, nor can they be exchanged for fourth-grade elixirs for great monks, they are enough for him to maintain his cave and daily consumption.
A great monk from a big sect is not comparable to the previous independent cultivators. In order to maintain his own appearance, he needs to invest a lot.
The current Great Monk Luo Pei is far from perfect, and he still needs to replenish many spiritual objects.
For example, he needed a ceremonial boat to serve as a display, and the cost of this alone was staggering.
While thinking, Great Monk Luo Pei landed outside the cave on the top of the mountain.
Entering the cave, the walls and the floor of the cave are decorated with fourth-grade spiritual jade. Fourth-grade spiritual jade is not only an extremely beautiful decorative material, but also the best material for supporting formations.
There are exquisite patterns on the fourth-grade spiritual jade, and the patterns of the formation are hidden in the patterns.
It can be seen that the cultivator who built this cave has extremely high levels of skill in refining equipment and formations, and also possesses extremely high artistic attainments.
The spiritual energy here is richer than the temporary cave where the great monk is on duty. There is a separate spiritual vein for the great monk here, which supports the spiritual energy supply of the entire mountain and the cave.
The utensils in the cave are also complete. The furniture is all made of fourth-grade spiritual wood. There is also a fourth-grade spiritual spring that came from nowhere. Under the influence of the spiritual veins of the great monk, the quality of the fourth-grade spiritual spring is very good.
He also found a fourth-grade upper-level alchemy furnace in the alchemy room and a fourth-grade earth fire in the weapon refining room.
It can be said that the conditions here almost exceeded Li Shiming's imagination. He had guessed about the life of a great monk before, but he never imagined that the life of a great monk would be so luxurious.
Although the quality of fourth-grade spiritual jade and fourth-grade spiritual wood is only of lower grade, the quantities used are quite large. Such spiritual jade and spiritual wood are the materials for refining fourth-grade lower-grade magic weapons, but they are used for decoration.
"What a pity!" Li Shiming couldn't help but sigh.
Such a cave is really of little use to Master Luo Pei, and Li Shiming does not attach importance to Master Luo Pei's cultivation.
He only cared about the identity of Master Luo Pei. As for improving Master Luo Pei's strength, he was not very reassured.
Although the Heavenly Ghost was recognized by the Nascent Soul of Great Monk Luo Pei because it devoured the soul of Great Monk Luo Pei and retained the soul's aura, if Great Monk Luo Pei's strength really increases, the Heavenly Ghost may not be able to control Great Monk Luo Pei.
The Heavenly Ghost is only at the middle level of the fourth grade. The reason why it is able to control the Great Monk Luo Pei is partly because it has been living with the physical body of the living dead Zhao Qingfeng for a long time. The other part is that the Great Monk Luo Pei's own strength is very weak, so it is able to control the Nascent Soul of the Great Monk Luo Pei on behalf of his soul.
Master Luo Pei still needs to practice, but the purpose of practicing "Black Water Torrential Art" is not to improve his strength, but to help Li Shiming comprehend the water system.
Li Shiming also took back the Nascent Soul that was placed in the body of the great monk Luo Pei. In the "Tianren Dao" hall in the cave, five Nascent Souls were practicing at the same time.
He finally settled down, but the Central Plains had not forgotten him.
Zhongzhou Trading Company and Yuqing Sect are both looking for Li Shiming. Zhongzhou Trading Company's purpose is to inform him of the results of the handling of the traitor and Zhongzhou Trading Company's attitude towards him.
The Yuqing Sect wanted the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl', which was a major event concerning the powerful people in the Yuqing Sect. The Yuqing Sect almost put all its efforts into it and used all the resources it could.
Li Shiming was indeed decisive. If he really got in touch with Zhongzhou Trading Company, he would definitely leave clues, and he might be found by Yuqing Sect.
You should know that Yuqing Sect has mastered Li Shiming's aura, and this aura has been made into a "Thousand Mile Sensing Plate", which can sense his aura as long as it is within a thousand miles.
In addition, his aura was also spread by the intelligence department of Yuqing Sect to intelligence personnel in various places. Once a suspicious aura was discovered, Yuqing Sect would know about it.
Originally, Yuqing Sect thought that with such strength, it would not be difficult to find Li Shiming.
But after a period of time, the intelligence department of Yuqing Sect found nothing. All the energy invested was in vain.
However, the Yuqing Sect did not give up. Instead, it increased its investment in tracking down Li Shiming. Not only the Zhongzhou Continent, but also the intelligence departments of other continents were mobilized.
The Zhongzhou Trading Company headquarters also learned about Yuqing Sect's actions, but since Yuqing Sect did not actually take action and was only looking for Li Shiming, and Zhongzhou Trading Company headquarters had issued a warning to Yuqing Sect, Yuqing Sect's response was to just deal with it, and the two sides were in a stage of wrangling.
The turmoil outside did not affect Li Shiming. While practicing, Li Shiming began to prepare a water-based flying sword for the great monk Luo Pei.
It is not easy to refine a water-based flying sword that is suitable for Great Monk Luo Pei. Li Shiming has very high requirements and is planning to refine it into a spiritual treasure. He encountered many problems in the design alone.
The main problem is that Li Shiming's understanding of the 'Black Water Torrential Art' that Master Luo Pei specializes in is not enough. If he wants to design a flying sword that matches the 'Black Water Torrential Art', he needs to raise his understanding of the 'Black Water Torrential Art' to an extremely high level.
For this purpose, he separated a part of his brain and used his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15 to analyze and study the 'Black Water Torrential Power'.
What Li Shiming did did not affect Master Luo Pei. When Master Luo Pei was not practicing, he would spend his time in the library.
Fu Liu Zong's library was the result of a declining superpower, and the richness of its contents was beyond his imagination.
Especially with the authority of a great monk, all the classics in the entire library were open to him, and even several inherited skills of the Fu Liu Sect were open to him unconditionally.
This is not difficult to understand. Today, the Fuliu Sect is a large sect, and the great cultivator is the strongest cultivator in the sect.
If Master Luo Pei had not joined Fuliu Sect for too short a time and was not a master trained by Fuliu Sect itself, the authority he could obtain would be even higher.
Of course, the Fu Liu Sect did not impose any restrictions on Great Monk Luo Pei in terms of classics. The restrictions on him were in terms of the authority over the sect's protective formation and the control over various caves and heavens, which were authorities related to the sect's highest secrets.
If he wants to obtain the authority to control these top-secret matters, he needs to go through a long period of testing in the Fuliu Sect.
In fact, if Master Mao Jing and Master Hu Shiming had not both recognized Master Luo Pei, his authority in the library would have been restricted.
IBMz15 gained a lot of knowledge this time, even many top-notch skills.
Unfortunately, Li Shiming had no intention of practicing the wood-related inherited skills of the Fu Liu Sect. His Wood Thunder Nascent Soul was currently practicing the 'Jade Purity Thunder Canon', and he had no plans to practice any wood-related skills.
Therefore, the wood-based inherited skills of the Fu Liu Sect were of no use to him, and at most they only broadened his horizons.
As for replacing the water-based martial arts technique for Master Luo Pei that is stronger than the 'Black Water Torrential Technique', it is not that the Fu Liu Sect does not have it.
There are two top-level water-related skills in the library of Fu Liu Sect, but the problem is that in the Nascent Soul of Great Monk Luo Pei, there are the skill runes of "Black Water Torrential Kung Fu". Unless the newly practiced top-level water-related skills can be comprehended to the extent that the skill runes can be left in the Nascent Soul, the power of the newly practiced top-level water-related skills will be very low.
The reason why the attacks launched by Nascent Soul cultivators are so powerful is mainly because they are blessed by the runes of the Nascent Soul's body, which can increase the power of the attacks several times.
Therefore, when a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul stage, he or she will be extremely cautious if he or she wants to change his or her technique. Once he or she chooses to change his or her technique, it means that he or she will have to invest a lot of time to re-comprehend the new technique, and this time usually takes more than a hundred years.
Even after investing a hundred years, there is no guarantee that the new technique will be more powerful than the original one, unless the new technique has some special functions, or the quality of the new technique is far higher than the original one.
In any case, Master Luo Pei will not change his skills, and Li Shiming does not need Master Luo Pei to improve his strength. In any case, it is enough for Master Luo Pei to improve his combat power by replacing his natal magic weapon.
