A year passed in the blink of an eye, and all the cultivators in the Fuliu Sect knew that there was a new great cultivator in the sect. This great cultivator was extremely low-key and only moved between his cave and the library every day.
On this day, Master Mao Jing sent out an invitation, and Master Hu Shiming and Master Luo Pei came to Master Mao Jing's cave together.
The three great monks sat down and tasted the spiritual tea for a while without discussing business first.
"Senior Brother Mao, what happened?" After waiting for a while, Master Hu Shiming couldn't help but ask.
"We've received news from the fifth resource point that an unidentified monk has appeared nearby. You also know the importance of that resource point, and we need a great monk to go there and take charge for a while!" Great Monk Mao Jing said helplessly.
Great Monk Hu Shiming frowned. He had a lot of things to do during this period. If he really went to guard the fifth resource point, both his own affairs and the sect's affairs would be delayed.
Originally, with the strength of Fu Liu Sect, there would not be a situation of being short of manpower. After all, Fu Liu Sect was unwilling to be reduced to a large sect, and most of the great monks were looking for opportunities outside.
Of course, there is also the fact that the resources of the great monks of the Fuliu Sect are not enough to support the normal cultivation of six, no, now it should be said that there are seven great monks. Unless the great monks do not want to improve their cultivation, going out to look for the resources of great monks is inevitable.
Therefore, once something happens in the sect, there will not be enough great monks.
"I'll go!" Great Monk Luo Pei raised his hand and gestured.
"Okay, this is a sect mission. Junior Brother Luo has finally settled down, so it's a good opportunity to accumulate more contribution points!" Great Monk Mao Jing was waiting for him to say this and said with a smile.
The great monks of the sect cannot arrange any mandatory tasks. Unless a matter of life and death occurs in the sect, all tasks require the consent of the great monk.
"The fifth resource point is a resource point for great monks. You don't have to worry too much. You just need to guard it there and intimidate some villains. If a great monk really appears, notify the sect, and the sect will ask the allied forces to come forward!" Great Monk Hu Shiming continued.
He knew that Great Monk Luo Pei's strength was not that great, which could be judged from the aura emanating from Great Monk Luo Pei.
After such a long time, he learned that Master Luo Pei practiced the 'Black Water Torrential Art', a technique that could barely be considered top-level.
I'm afraid that among the great monks, the 'Black Water Torrential Technique' is definitely the worst technique that all the great monks practice.
The poor skills naturally lead to poor power. In addition, Master Luo Pei was born as a casual cultivator, so his foundation is also very poor.
Although Master Luo Pei spent the past year in the library, it is not so easy to make up for the lack of foundation.
"I'll pay attention!" Master Luo Pei nodded.
"If there is any problem that cannot be solved, don't force it. It doesn't matter even if you lose the fifth resource point!" Great Monk Mao Jing said worriedly at last.
As long as the resource points are not destroyed, it will not be difficult to snatch them back with Fu Liu Zong's current network of relationships.
The reason why Master Luo Pei was sent was to prevent other forces from seeing the weakness of the Fu Liu Sect.
The Fu Liu Sect can show a certain degree of weakness, but it cannot be bullied by just any force. Otherwise, even the allied forces will set their sights on the Fu Liu Sect's huge business.
Great monk Luo Pei flew out of Fuliu Sect, and with a wave of his hand, a ritual boat flew out. This was the ritual boat he had exchanged for through his connections in the sect over the past year.
His mission this time is to let other forces know that the fifth resource point is guarded by a great monk, so they need to use the ritual boat.
The ritual boat cost him a lot of fourth-grade elixirs, which he exchanged from a boat-making business.
This is a large ceremonial flying boat, made of fourth-grade wooden material. Although it is made of wood, its texture is like green jade.
Of course, since he exchanged the large ceremonial flying boat with the identity of Great Monk Luo Pei, the cost was not too exaggerated. This large ceremonial flying boat was mainly luxurious on the outside, while the decoration on the inside was ordinary, and it also lacked many functions.
According to Master Hu Shiming, when Master Luo Pei has extra resources, he will gradually add functions to the ritual boat. The current ritual boat is enough to show Master Luo Pei's face.
The large ceremonial flying boat bears the mark of the Fu Liu Sect. When it flies in the air, the monks all dodge it. The monks who are closer will even float in the air with their hands clasped to express their respect.
This was not to dispel Liu Zong, but to show respect to the great monk.
Only great monks are qualified to ride on the ritual boat; this is the rule of Zhongzhou Continent. Showing enough respect to the ritual boat is also a way to show respect to the group of great monks.
So no matter how poor Master Luo Pei seemed, in order to please Liu Zong and for the master's face, he prepared a ceremonial boat for himself.
After leaving the Fuliu Sect, Great Monk Luo Pei's ceremonial boat turned towards the ocean.
The time stipulated by Fu Liu Zong for reaching the fifth resource point was somewhat extra, and he happened to have some personal matters to take care of.
The ritual boat stopped above the sea. In the engine room, the last rune was engraved on a pitch-black flying sword.
Then the flying sword appeared in the hands of Master Luo Pei. Since this was the flying sword refined by Li Shiming, there was a spiritual connection between Li Shiming and the Heavenly Ghost.
Therefore, although this flying sword was not personally refined by Master Luo Pei, this complex soul connection allowed Master Luo Pei to easily recognize the flying sword as his master. Not only did he recognize the flying sword as his master, but even the degree of his refining reached a level that was almost similar to that of the flying sword he had refined himself.
Li Shiming, who was in the cave, called upon the power of the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl'. Holding the 'Heavenly Thunder Hammer' spiritual treasure in his hand, Mu Lei Yuanying released a secret method to enhance resistance to thunder.
This secret method of strengthening resistance to lightning fell on the shoulders of Master Luo Pei. This was also the reason why Li Shiming dared to let Master Luo Pei hold the flying sword and prepare to withstand the calamity of the weapon.
Otherwise, with the strength of Master Luo Pei, he might not be able to successfully survive the flying sword's weapon calamity.
With the addition of the magical treasure 'Heavenly Thunder Hammer' and the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl', the power of the secret lightning resistance technique has been enhanced to a level infinitely close to that of a great monk.
If it is an attack-type secret technique that is infinitely close to the grand monk level, its effect on Grand Monk Luo Pei is limited. However, the secret technique that enhances lightning resistance is different. Its effect is equivalent to increasing Grand Monk Luo Pei's lightning resistance ability as a grand monk.
Even the lightning resistance of the weakest great cultivator, Lei Xiu, is enough for him to deal with the weapon disaster.
Master Luo Pei was very honest when facing the weapon disaster, and Li Shiming didn't dare to take risks with Master Luo Pei.
In addition to the secret method of increasing lightning resistance bestowed by Li Shiming, Master Luo Pei also has more than ten fourth-grade defensive magic weapons, including two top-level fourth-grade defensive magic weapons.
These were Li Shiming’s spoils of war, and they were all given to Master Luo Pei for use.
Anyway, the great monk has the ability to use many fourth-grade magic weapons at the same time.
During the entire process of the weapon calamity, Master Luo Pei hid in the turtle shell.
The heaven and earth were extremely supportive of this method of overcoming the tribulation, and therefore did not increase the power of the thunder tribulation much.
Only a genius cultivator would dare to do something like breaking the heavenly thunder. If an ordinary cultivator did that, it would be an act of seeking death.
The power of the weapon calamity was roughly the same as that of a great cultivator in his early days. Thanks to the caution of Great Monk Luo Pei, he managed to survive this weapon calamity at the cost of consuming five fourth-grade defensive magic weapons.
Great Monk Luo Pei glanced around him and did not notice any monks or spiritual beasts approaching.
His days in Fuliu Sect were not spent in vain, as the sea area he was looking for was the area with the least resources.
Due to the scarcity of resources, even if spiritual beasts appear here, their quality is extremely low, and no cultivator is willing to come to this sea area because there is no benefit.
He felt relieved and checked his flying sword.
He cruelly gave up his original natal flying sword, which made all his training results of the past year go to waste and almost made his realm unstable.
But he didn't care at all. Before Li Shiming himself became a great cultivator, the Heavenly Ghost's realm would not improve much. In that case, there would be risks in the improvement of Great Monk Luo Pei's realm, making it impossible for the Heavenly Ghost to control Great Monk Luo Pei.
The flying sword in the hands of Master Luo Pei was carefully refined by Li Shiming and was named the 'Black Water Sword'.
After surviving the weapon calamity, a weapon spirit was born in the 'Black Water Sword'.
The reason why it is a weapon spirit rather than a sword spirit is that although the 'Black Water Sword' is a flying sword, the great monk Luo Pei only uses the 'Black Water Sword' as a general magic weapon, rather than using the 'Black Water Sword' as a flying sword for sword cultivators.
The 400 million black water runes engraved by Li Shiming on the blade of the "Black Water Sword" made this "Black Water Sword" become a spiritual treasure after surviving the weapon calamity.
On the blade of the 'Black Water Sword', the reward for the rules of heaven and earth is the mark of the rules of tides, which is a reward that Li Shiming had never thought of.
Master Luo Pei retracted the 'Black Water Sword' into his Nascent Soul, and the Nascent Soul grasped it with both hands and began to perform rituals.
What he didn't expect was that the cultivation level he had lost due to the weapon calamity was replenished by the energy that gushed out from the tidal rule imprint on the 'Black Water Sword' after his Nascent Soul came into contact with the energetic 'Black Water Sword'.
According to his judgment, the effect of practicing the 'Black Water Sword' can be greatly enhanced if one has the 'Black Water Sword' with him during practice.
"It seems that I will have to practice less in the future!" This is probably the worry of happiness.
Without delaying for long, Great Monk Luo Pei took out the ritual boat and flew towards the fifth resource point.
As the ritual boat approached the fifth resource point, the water mine Nascent Soul in his body used the "Divine Eyes" and indeed discovered the presence of some Nascent Soul cultivators near the fifth resource point.
These Nascent Soul cultivators seemed to be investigating something. As a master of formations, Li Shiming saw the clues.
These Nascent Soul cultivators were surveying the earth's veins and terrain. An excellent formation master could infer the direction of the spiritual power in a formation arranged in a certain place through the conditions of the earth's veins and terrain, and thus make a corresponding 'formation-breaking talisman' to break the formation in one fell swoop.
It seems that the information sent back to the sect by the fifth resource point was correct, and there is indeed a force preparing to take action against the fifth resource point.
After seeing the ritual boat, those Nascent Soul cultivators fled into the distance, away from the vicinity of the fifth resource point.
Great monk Luo Pei took out the great monk's jade disc. The good thing about the Zhongzhou continent is that the jade discs of the sects of super powers can be borrowed from the communication formations spread across the entire continent.
Although the Fuliu Sect is not a super power, it was a super power in the past, so the sect's jade disc can also be used anywhere on the continent.
He sent information to the fifth resource point through the great monk's jade disc. Soon the formation at the fifth resource point was activated, and three middle-Nascent Soul cultivators flew out of the formation.
"Greetings, Uncle Master Luo!" The three mid-Nascent Soul cultivators showed a look of relief and stepped forward to salute.
This was the first time they met Master Luo Pei, but the sect had already received news that this low-key master was actually quite famous in the Fuliu Sect.
"Let's talk about it after we enter the formation!" Great Monk Luo Pei waved his hand and said.
Entering the formation, the resource point here is a spiritual spring pond. In the pond grows a fourth-grade upper-level spiritual lotus. This is a naturally bred resource for great cultivators, and it is also a resource for great cultivators with a stable output.
Even if there are forces that want to snatch this kind of great cultivator resource, they dare not destroy the spiritual lotus here.
The consequences of destroying the known resources of the great monks are very serious and will be condemned by the group of great monks. No force in the world of cultivation dares to challenge this rule.
That's why Master Mao Jing persuaded Master Luo Pei to give up guarding when necessary. As long as there is a greater cause at hand and then find an allied force and pay a certain price, I believe it will not be a big problem to take back the fifth resource point.
Great monk Luo Pei did not pay any attention to the fourth-grade upper-level spiritual lotus. It looked like this spiritual lotus would take hundreds of years to mature.
"Do you know which force the monks outside belong to?" asked Great Monk Luo Pei, who was sitting in the main seat.
"We have never seen them. We have sent their images back to the sect, but the sect's intelligence department has not sent back any news yet!" A cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul bowed and replied.
"Then just ignore it!" Master Luo Pei waved his hand and said.
When he arrived at the fifth resource point, he didn't have to worry much.
The formation here is very good. Even if a great monk comes to attack, with Li Shiming's formation ability and the combat power of Great Monk Luo Pei, they can withstand the attack of an ordinary great monk.
Of course, this does not take into account the power of the 'Black Water Sword'. Master Luo Pei has not had the opportunity to try to unleash the power of the 'Black Water Sword' yet.
The three middle-Nascent Soul cultivators did not disturb Great Monk Luo Pei. They gave the best cave to Great Monk Luo Pei.
Great monk Luo Pei sat cross-legged in the cave. He did not practice, but used his Nascent Soul to perform the 'Secret Method of Controlling Souls and Pregnant Treasures' to continuously strengthen the connection with the spirit of the 'Black Water Sword'.
As for the protection of the fifth resource point, Li Shiming separated a brain and approached the formation of the fifth resource point through the authority of the great monk jade disc.
As long as it is within the formation's warning range, anything that happens can be sensed by the brain.
