Li Shiming took some elixirs from great monks. These were not particularly good elixirs from great monks. They were all elixirs from great monks that he looked down upon and gave them to great monk Luo Pei.

These great monks' elixirs can actually improve the cultivation level of Great Monk Luo Pei.

In the long-distance caravan, Li Shiming lived on the first long-distance flying boat, and the great monk Luo Pei was in charge of the last long-distance flying boat.

Master Luo Pei practiced the 'Black Water Storming Technique'. After analysis and research by IBMz15, the best way to practice this water-based technique was quickly summarized.

The Heavenly Ghost needed Li Shiming's guidance before he could control the great monk Luo Pei to practice the 'Black Water Torrential Technique'.

Through the connection with the Heavenly Ghost, Li Shiming truly went deep into the body of the great monk Luo Pei and observed the imprint of the water rules that had been unobservable before.

The mark of water rules is on the Nascent Soul of Master Luo Pei. It is because of this mark of water rules that Tiangui can control the Nascent Soul and let Master Luo Pei unleash the power of water rules.

When he saw the water rule mark on the Nascent Soul, Li Shiming couldn't help but frowned.

This extremely vague mark of the water rules made him realize how weak the water rules mastered by Master Luo Pei were.

No wonder Master Luo Pei was almost unable to defeat any master without the spiritual treasure Black Water Sword. Under the blessing of such a water rule mark, the power of water-based attacks that could be enhanced was probably extremely limited.

His mind moved slightly, and with the help of the connection with the Heavenly Ghost, he used his consciousness to take over the body of Master Luo Pei.

He separated a brain to control the body of Master Luo Pei.

Since he himself is already a great monk, he has a lot of experience in how to control the Nascent Soul.

His mind sank into the Nascent Soul of the great monk Luo Pei, and his understanding of the rules of the water system arose.

His understanding of these water rules came from his observation of the process of the formation of the Five Elements Rules in the Bansheng Cave Heaven, and the Five Elements Rules were also reflected in the five Nascent Souls of his body.

Therefore, to comprehend the water rules, Li Shiming is just repeating the imprint of the water rules of his original Nascent Soul.

As he began to comprehend the water rules, the imprint of the water rules on Master Luo Pei's Nascent Soul began to change.

More insights into the water rules make the marks of the water rules gradually become clearer.

Of course, this clarity is also limited, and it stops changing when it reaches the extreme of the water rules mastered by Li Shiming.

He began to guide the great monk Luo Pei to practice the "Black Water Torrential Art". Due to the improvement of the water rule imprint of the Nascent Soul, the efficiency of practicing the "Black Water Torrential Art" was also greatly improved.

After he had instructed the great monk Luo Pei to practice the 'Black Water Torrential Technique' once, he handed the practice over to the Heavenly Ghost.

Although the Heavenly Ghost did not have the ability to learn on his own, it had no problem repeating his training.

Li Shiming observed the imprint of water rules on the Nascent Soul of Master Luo Pei again and found that it was almost the same as the imprint of water rules on his own Nascent Soul.

He couldn't help but shook his head. It seemed that the water rules that Master Luo Pei had mastered before were too superficial.

Come to think of it, Great Monk Luo Pei is a casual cultivator. It takes great luck for him to become a great monk. How could he possess powerful water rules with the knowledge and inheritance of a casual cultivator?

Li Shiming forcibly enhanced the water rule imprint on the Nascent Soul of the great monk Luo Pei, which would not work on a normal monk.

It is estimated that no great monk would give up his freedom and sign a strict contract with him in order to master stronger rule marks, allowing him to completely control his body and even his Nascent Soul through the contract.

This was almost exposing everything about himself to Li Shiming, without any secrets at all.

I believe that it is only in the special case of Master Luo Pei, where the soul is replaced by a celestial ghost. The celestial ghost does not care about the secret of Master Luo Pei.

If Li Shiming did this to the Great Venerable Hongfa, even though the Great Venerable Hongfa was restricted by the contract, he would not tolerate such a thing happening.

Five long-distance flying boats were sailing over the ocean. Because there was the aura of great monks at the bow and stern, and this route was originally the route of Zhongzhou Trading Company, and these were Zhongzhou Trading Company's long-distance flying boats, they did not encounter any trouble.

After more than forty days of sailing, five long-distance flying boats approached the Dongqi Continent.

Li Shiming stood on the deck of the first long-distance flying boat and looked at the land ahead. It was the Dongqi Continent, which he had not seen for many years.

He thought about a lot of things. Here, he joined the Wanshou Sect under the name of Li Shizhen, made many friends, and had a master and senior brothers.

Finally he could see these familiar people again, and he felt a bit homesick.

At this time, he sensed the aura of a great monk approaching this side, he activated the "Divine Eyes" and saw the person clearly.

The person who came was Liu Ziyun, the director of Zhongzhou Trading Company in Dongqi Continent, and the only person in Zhongzhou Trading Company who was truly kind to him.

I didn't expect to meet here, maybe it's not an accidental meeting.

Li Shiming took a look at the flying boat below him and knew why Liu Ziyun came.

Originally, this long-distance merchant caravan would arrive at Zhongzhou Continent about twenty to thirty days after he killed the two great monks of Zhongzhou Trading Company that day. However, more than forty days have passed now, and the Zhongzhou Trading Company headquarters must have discovered something wrong.

How could such a long-distance merchant caravan, which was sailing under the banner of Zhongzhou Trading Company, arrive in Dongqi Continent without being known by Liu Ziyun, the Dongqi Continent director of Zhongzhou Trading Company?

As Liu Ziyun got closer to the merchant caravan, he became more and more nervous.

In his perception, although the long-distance caravan had the aura of two great monks, the aura of these two great monks was not that of any of the great monks of the Zhongzhou Trading Company.

In other words, the long-distance merchant caravan was robbed by two great monks, and the two great monks were the ones escorting the five long-distance flying boats.

Whether it is Master Qian Yi or Master Lu, their combat power is considered to be at an upper-middle level among the master monks. In any case, they are not weaker than Liu Ziyun.

If the five long-distance flying boats had not had a clear target of Dongqi Continent, Liu Ziyun would have wanted to turn around and escape.

He was stationed in Dongqi Continent. Since five long-distance flying boats had arrived in Dongqi Continent, he had to know who had robbed the Zhongzhou Trading Company's long-distance caravan.

He gave himself multiple layers of defense and was ready to escape at any time.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, long time no see!" Liu Ziyun heard a familiar voice coming from the first long-distance flying boat.

When he saw Li Shiming standing on the deck, his expression was full of surprise.

"Li Shizhen, it's you!" Liu Ziyun shook his head and replied with a bitter smile.

Even though he thought Li Shizhen was a genius at the time, he never imagined that Li Shizhen would return to him in this way decades later.

"I was betrayed by the top brass at the headquarters in Zhongzhou Continent. I secluded myself for decades and did not dare to come out until I was promoted to a great monk!" Li Shiming said as if complaining.

"Zhongzhou Trading Company is too big, with numerous factions. There are always some short-sighted people!" Liu Ziyun didn't know what to say and could only explain helplessly.

He had no intention of fighting with Li Shiming, not to mention that he could sense the aura of another great monk, and it was also because of this long-distance merchant caravan.

Since this long-distance merchant caravan fell intact into Li Shiming's hands, it means that Li Shiming has the ability to defeat ordinary great monks.

"What are your plans?" Liu Ziyun asked.

He intentionally did not mention the long-distance merchant caravan, even though five long-distance flying boats were right in front of him, with the Zhongzhou Trading Company's logo on them.

"I want to go back to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and then travel for a while!" Li Shiming answered half-truthfully.

"The situation of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has not been good recently. The Luanfeng Palace cannot spare any manpower to come over. The other three sects have the support of the Yuqing Sect and the Baidi Sect, and they are suppressing the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect severely!" When Liu Ziyun heard him mention the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, he also talked about the current situation.

"It seems that I have brought trouble to the sect!" Li Shiming said calmly.

As he spoke, a hint of murderous intent flashed from his eyes.

Liu Ziyun on the opposite side felt chills all over his body. It was as if he was not facing a great monk of the same level, but an extremely terrifying existence, somewhat like when he met the great monks Wang He and Yan Gao.

But who are Great Monk Wang He and Great Monk Yan Gao? They are two great monks at the peak of their powers, and the most powerful fighters in the Nascent Soul Stage.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Liu. On my way back, two great monks from Zhongzhou Trading Company wanted to rob us. I killed them and got these five long-distance flying boats. I think what I did was in accordance with the rules. Fellow Daoist Liu informed Zhongzhou Trading Company!" Li Shiming nodded to Liu Ziyun, and to express his gratitude, he explained how he got the five long-distance flying boats.

As for whether Zhongzhou Trading Company believed it or not, it had nothing to do with him.

He didn't even care much about Zhongzhou Trading Company's attitude afterwards.

For a long time afterwards, he would supplement his knowledge by traveling instead of staying in seclusion in the cave to practice.

"I will report the situation back to the headquarters, and I also hope that the headquarters is willing to live in peace with you!" Liu Ziyun said with a wry smile.

He also knew that this was almost impossible. Two great monks were killed, and Zhongzhou Trading Company would never let go of this price easily.

"I hope so!" Li Shiming said with a faint smile.

"What do you want to do with these five long-distance flying boats?" Liu Ziyun asked after thinking for a while.

"I plan to sell all the goods inside, and I'm still considering the long-distance flying boat!" Li Shiming answered without hiding his thoughts.

Liu Ziyun can definitely be considered a local boss in the Dongqi Continent, especially in the business circle. If you want to handle such a large volume of goods, it is impossible for Liu Ziyun not to know about it, so it is better to say it directly.

"Selling the goods is not a problem, there will be many businesses that can accept it, but the long-distance flying boat has a distinct Zhongzhou business style, and no force dares to buy it!" Liu Ziyun shook his head and said.

"It seems that Brother Liu has some ideas?" Li Shiming looked at Liu Ziyun, heard what he meant and asked with a smile.

"I can buy these five long-distance flying boats!" Liu Ziyun expressed his thoughts.

Li Shiming was very surprised. He looked at Liu Ziyun seriously, as if he had just met him.

The five long-distance flying boats are of extremely high value. They are super-large long-distance flying boats. Even a super power like Zhongzhou Trading Company will not have many of them.

Long-distance flying boats of this level are the result of accumulation over a long period of time. It takes more than fifty years to build a super-large long-distance flying boat alone, not to mention that only professional boat makers can build it.

Even if the master boat maker is willing to build a super-large long-distance flying boat, and all the materials for five long-distance flying boats are complete, it will take more than two hundred years to build.

"Actually, it wasn't me who bought them, but my faction. The five long-distance flying boats falling into the hands of my faction will greatly enhance the faction's status in the Zhongzhou Trading Company, which is good for both me and the faction!" Liu Ziyun went on to explain.

Li Shiming understood that when he was at the headquarters of Zhongzhou Commercial Bank, his position was not very high and his contacts with the top leaders were limited, but he also heard about the many factions within Zhongzhou Commercial Bank.

It's not just Zhongzhou Trading Company, almost all forces with a long history have the same problem.

"Okay, how do you plan to buy it?" Li Shiming nodded in agreement without much hesitation.

"What does Fellow Daoist Li need? I have transferred some from the company. The total amount just needs to be equivalent to the value of five long-distance flying boats!" Liu Ziyun did not mention spirit stones or anything like that, but asked directly.

He had come into contact with Li Shiming. For an alchemy master like Li Shiming, who had extremely high alchemy skills, there were really not many spiritual objects that he lacked.

Not to mention the resources for cultivation, the elixirs intercepted by the alchemy master are enough for the alchemy master himself to consume.

As for other spiritual objects, the alchemy master will charge a fee every time he makes an elixir. As long as the alchemy master points out what is missing, there will be monks who will try their best to get it.

Therefore, he let Li Shiming make the request himself, which was the best option. Zhongzhou Trading Company's business was spread all over the world of immortal cultivation. As long as it was available in the world of immortal cultivation, Zhongzhou Trading Company could get it.

Li Shiming thought about it and found that he didn't seem to lack anything.

The reason why he brought five long-distance flying boats with him was because he didn't want to waste such valuable cargo and could make a considerable fortune by doing so.

"I need a batch of late-stage fourth-grade resources from the Phoenix and Dragon tribes. I'll take as many as I can. If five long-distance flying boats are not enough, the cargo inside can also be counted!" Li Shiming finally thought of the spiritual objects he lacked and put forward his request.

When Liu Ziyun heard this, he understood for whom Li Shiming prepared these resources.

Li Shiming collected a red-gold phoenix spirit pet from the Myriad Beasts Sect. There seemed to be a dragon spirit pet beside him as well. It seemed that he was planning to prepare for his two spirit pets to reach the late fourth level.

Liu Ziyun was somewhat envious of the two spiritual pets. Even if other great cultivators collected such spiritual pets, it was impossible for them to pay such a huge price in exchange for resources.

Normally, great monks do not have enough resources for their own cultivation, so of course they will consider their own cultivation first.

"No problem, but it will take at least eight months. It would be better to give me a year to prepare!" Liu Ziyun thought for a while and replied.

"Sign a contract and I may give you five long-distance flying boats along with the cargo first!" Li Shiming was too lazy to take the five long-distance flying boats with him, so he suggested.
