Li Shiming was thinking about his future plans while sipping the spiritual tea and looking at the sea view outside.
This was his seventh day sailing in the ocean. He had left the Central Plains and reached the depths of the ocean.
They sailed for seven days without encountering any troubles. With such a fast flying boat, even a fourth-grade spirit beast could understand the power of the cultivator who controlled it.
Not to mention those monks with higher wisdom, the route he chose was the route of Zhongzhou Trading Company.
Perhaps it was because the Zhongzhou continent was prosperous enough that he encountered three long-distance flying boats in seven days. After seeing the "Baidi Qingyun Boat", the three long-distance flying boats began to speed up and avoid it from a distance.
He was not surprised at all. There were no rules on the ocean. It was not affected by the rules of the continents, and robbery and murder were extremely normal.
It is precisely for this reason that there is a difference in the value of goods across continents, allowing powerful or adventurous monks to gain huge wealth from cross-continental voyages.
At the same time, the ocean also buried many monks who had no strength but were eager for wealth. This was a punishment for the greedy.
The warning formation of the 'Baidi Qingyun Boat' began to flash, which was a reminder of another encounter with a long-distance flying boat.
He didn't take it seriously at first, but a moment later, he discovered from the information sent by the early warning formation that the other party was a caravan, a caravan with five giant long-distance flying boats.
Li Shiming became a little cautious. This kind of cross-continental merchant caravan must be led by a great monk, but he didn't know how many great monks were escorting it.
Although such long-distance trading companies seem to be very formal, they can turn into robbers at any time on the ocean and rob other long-distance flying boats.
For them, the ocean without rules is a battlefield where the strong prey on the weak.
As long as you come to the ocean, you are entering a battle for wealth and life.
"Qian Yi from Zhongzhou Trading Company greets fellow Daoist from Baidi Sect. I wonder which fellow Daoist is here in person?" A great cultivator flew out from the opposite long-distance merchant caravan, stood in the void and bowed.
When Li Shiming heard the name, he couldn't help but laugh.
The name of this great monk suggests that he is very wealthy. But when Li Shiming thought of his relationship with Zhongzhou Trading Company, he sighed in his heart.
It is not difficult to see from the attitude of the great monk Qian Yi that the relationship between Zhongzhou Trading Company and Baidi Sect seems to be very good.
He thought with some arrogance that it was because Zhongzhou Trading Company betrayed him that the relationship between Zhongzhou Trading Company and Baidi Sect became so close.
In fact, he had met this great monk Qian Yi before. Great monk Qian Yi had asked him to make elixirs for him. The time they met was very short, less than a cup of tea.
Li Shiming didn't think of hiding. Besides, how could he hide in the ocean?
He flew out of the cabin and stood on top of the 'Baidi Qingyun Boat'.
"Friend Qian, long time no see!" he said with a smile.
"You are..." Great Monk Qian Yi was stunned. He looked at Li Shiming and for a moment he couldn't remember which great monk from the Baidi Sect this was.
Judging from the other party's tone, he knew him.
He couldn't help feeling embarrassed. If he didn't recognize the other person, it would be very rude.
"You are Li Shizhen!" With an exclamation, another great monk from Zhongzhou Trading Company appeared next to Great Monk Qian Yi.
Li Shiming still knew this later great monk, but not in this capacity, but through his clone Li Yuanba.
This great monk Lu had been fighting against the creatures of hell in the Hell Cave with Li Yuanba for nearly a year. Of course, Li Yuanba and great monk Lu did not have any deep relationship.
The greatest impression that Master Lu left on Li Shiming was that he used a bunch of jade slips in exchange for a treatment using the 'Xiantian Yimu' magical power.
Among the jade slips that Great Monk Lu took out was the melee "Unknown Sword Canon", so Great Monk Lu suffered a great loss.
It was not surprising that Master Lu knew Li Shiming.
The way Zhongzhou Trading Company treated Li Shizhen at the beginning did not gain the approval of many great monks. It was just that Li Shiming did not come into contact with many great monks in Zhongzhou Trading Company at that time.
At that time, Li Shiming was particularly obedient and worked hard to make pills, which did not attract much attention from the great monks.
Li Shiming was a guest official in Zhongzhou Commercial Bank. As he was not a core member of the bank, he was not taken seriously in the bank.
It was not until he was betrayed that his abilities became known to many great monks, but by then it was too late.
Even if some great monks have objections to this, considering the relationship between the two super powers, Zhongzhou Trading Company and Baidi Sect, a guest official seems insignificant.
Master Lu was somewhat concerned about Li Shizhen's incident at the time, and felt it was a pity that such a talent was wasted.
"It's you, it's really you!" After being reminded by Master Lu, Master Qian Yi also recognized Li Shiming, whom he had met once.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
Who would believe, who would dare to believe, that the Nascent Soul cultivator at that time had actually been promoted to a great cultivator at this time.
"It seems that Brother Qian recognized me!" Li Shiming said with a faint smile.
Great Monk Qian Yi looked at Li Shiming with an indescribable expression. No one had expected that Li Shiming had grown to such an extent.
He had heard many rumors about Li Shiming before. Later, Li Shiming completely disappeared from the world of immortal cultivation. He thought that Li Shiming had been dealt with by the Baidi Sect.
When a cultivator becomes an enemy of the super power Baidi Sect, the consequences are imaginable.
But the Li Shiming in front of him is already a great cultivator. Look at that long-distance flying boat, it is the highest quality flying boat of the Baidi Sect.
Given the relationship between Li Shiming and the Baidi Sect, it is absolutely impossible that Li Shiming defected to the Baidi Sect. There is only one possibility, that is, Li Shiming killed the cultivators of the Baidi Sect and obtained this top-grade fourth-class flying boat.
Great Monk Qian Yi hesitated and glanced at Great Monk Lu standing beside him.
"What should we do?" he asked via voice transmission.
How could Master Lu, as a companion, not understand what Master Qian Yi meant? The ocean is a lawless place where only strength matters and nothing else matters.
Not to mention Li Shiming, a cultivator without any foundation at all. Killing him can not only solve the trouble, but also gain the friendship of the Baidi Sect.
In addition, Li Shiming's 'White Emperor Light Cloud Boat' is also a great treasure, a top-grade fourth-class flying boat. Even among the super powers, except for a very small number of core cultivators who have received the attention of the powerful, even the great cultivators rarely have top-grade fourth-class flying boats.
The value of this top-grade fourth-class flying boat is comparable to the value of the long-distance merchant caravan they are escorting.
"This is the ocean, please follow the rules!" Master Lu replied via voice transmission.
He then cast a battle preparation spell to prepare the merchant caravan for the long voyage.
After Master Qian Yi received Master Lu’s reply, his aura suddenly increased.
"What a pity!" he said in a deep voice.
He felt sorry that such a genius like Li Shiming was going to die here today.
A young genius, an outstanding master of alchemy, unfortunately he has forged a deep feud with Zhongzhou Trading Company and Baidi Sect. In order to prevent Li Shiming from retaliating against Zhongzhou Trading Company in the future, he must eliminate this hidden danger.
This thought made him suddenly feel that his fight was just, at least for Zhongzhou Trading Company.
As for Li Shiming's fighting ability, he didn't care at all.
Even though Li Shiming also possesses the cultivation level of a great monk, given his age, it is estimated that he has only been promoted to the rank of great monk not long ago.
It was easy for the two veteran monks to defeat Li Shiming in a two-on-one situation.
As long as they prevent Li Shiming from re-entering the 'Baidi Qingyun Boat', they will be able to keep Li Shiming forever.
"You made the wrong choice!" Li Shiming felt the changes in the aura of the two great monks from Zhongzhou Trading Company and knew what they were thinking. He said lightly.
His 'Traceless Phantom Sword' came silently behind Master Qian Yi, who was unaware of it.
After Li Shiming was promoted to a great monk, he blessed the 'Traceless Fantasy Sword' with the 'Chaos Sword Intention' of the 'Heavenly Art', and the stealth effect of this spiritual treasure-level 'Traceless Fantasy Sword' was further enhanced.
In the past, when the 'Phantom Sword Without Trace' was in his hands when he was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, it was still possible for a great monk to discover the 'Phantom Sword Without Trace' through a conscious scan.
But now it's different, Li Shiming is also at the level of a great cultivator, and after being blessed with the 'Chaos Sword Intent', he has unleashed a stronger function of the spiritual treasure 'Traceless Fantasy Sword'.
The spiritual treasure can only exert its strongest power in the hands of a powerful person. No matter whether it is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul or a great cultivator, they can only exert part of its power.
The 'Phantom Sword Without Trace' is the most powerful spiritual treasure in his hand. It is engraved with one billion sharp runes and four hundred million solid runes. It is a rare spiritual treasure with double rule marks, including 'sharp rule mark' and 'solid rule mark'.
Master Qian Yi was delighted to see that Li Shiming did not turn around and flee, nor did he return to the 'Baidi Qingyun Boat'.
This is a common problem of geniuses, who always think they can challenge cultivators of the same level. However, Li Shiming probably doesn't know that in the realm of great cultivators, the gap between cultivators of the same level is unimaginably huge.
Great Monk Qian Yi encountered Li Shiming. The 'Chaotic Sword Intent' on Li Shiming's 'Traceless Phantom Sword' could not be exposed before the attack due to the stealth effect of the 'Traceless Phantom Sword'.
He couldn't sense the 'Chaos Sword Intent', so naturally he didn't know how terrifying it was, and was less afraid of it.
But the lack of fear does not mean that his strength can be exerted stronger. His perception is wrong. Li Shiming is not an ordinary new great monk.
Li Shiming is a cultivator who can possess the combat power of a great cultivator when he is in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
After being promoted to a great monk, he became a great monk who mastered the five elements rules, lightning rules, and sword rules. He also mastered two spiritual treasures and one thunder treasure.
"Li Shizhen, you'd better surrender. I think with your alchemy ability, you still have a chance of survival!" Master Lu advised in a deep voice.
"After I was promoted to a great monk, I haven't fought with people of the same level yet. Come and fight!" Li Shiming said with a big laugh.
"You are looking for death!" Great Monk Qian Yi waved his hand, and a jade ruler flew out of his hand and flew towards Li Shiming.
The jade ruler turned into a giant ruler five meters long in the air, and hit Li Shiming heavily with terrifying pressure.
"Kill!" Li Shiming did not dodge, he shouted softly.
The 'Traceless Phantom Sword' appeared the moment it hit Great Monk Qian Yi, and the terrifying sword aura formed by the 'Chaotic Sword Intent' on the transparent sword filled the entire area.
Master Lu, who was originally planning to follow suit, was stimulated by the aura of the 'chaotic sword intent' and hesitated for a moment.
Great Monk Qian Yi felt the attack from behind, but it was too late for him to dodge.
The first thing he thought of was to contact the life-saving jade talisman in the Soul Crystal Ring. At this moment, he felt the crisis and made the most correct choice.
The life-saving jade talisman was made by a powerful being. As long as your life is truly in danger, activating the life-saving jade talisman will allow you to gain a method of escape blessed by the powerful being.
However, due to the preciousness of the life-saving jade talisman, he will only activate it before danger comes, so as not to waste this extremely precious life-saving jade talisman.
This time, Master Qian Yi made a wrong judgment. He thought that since his master level was higher than Li Shiming's, he would have enough time to activate the life-saving jade talisman even if there was danger.
But the fact is that when the 'Traceless Phantom Sword' pierced his body, his multiple defenses did not have any blocking effect.
A defensive spell shield, a robe with passive defense effects, and an autonomous defense jewelry. It can be said that Master Qian Yi has fully demonstrated the qualities of a wealthy master.
Unfortunately, all these defenses were broken in an instant under the attack of the great monk-level 'Chaos Sword Intent' and the spiritual treasure 'Traceless Phantom Sword' that had no concealment at all.
The last line of defense was broken, and the 'Invisible Phantom Sword' pierced into his body. When he realized something was wrong and was about to activate the life-saving jade talisman, it was already too late.
Although the 'Chaos Sword Intent' has not reached the level of the sword intent on the 'Sword Intent Monument', but in terms of sword intent alone, even in the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, it has surpassed all the great sword cultivators.
The most terrifying thing about the "Chaos Sword Intent" is that after the sword intent enters the body, it will attack the physical body and the Nascent Soul at the same time. When the physical body and the Nascent Soul are attacked by the "Chaos Sword Intent", the physical body, the Nascent Soul and the soul are all trapped under the effects of the sword intent in various states.
Under the effects of these various states of sword intent, not to mention counterattacking, even the spiritual consciousness was delayed, so the great monk Qian Yi was unable to activate the life-saving jade talisman.
"Is this the gap between me and the top geniuses?" Great Monk Qian Yi thought for the last time before his consciousness was about to disappear.
The huge jade ruler that was flying towards Li Shiming in the air turned into its original size and fell down after its owner, the great monk Qian Yi, died. It was grabbed by Li Shiming.
Li Shiming took a look at the jade ruler and found that it was not the great monk Qian Yi's natal magic weapon, but a top-level fourth-grade magic weapon. He collected it with some interest.
