Ten days had passed since Li Shiming returned to the Wanshou Sect, and nothing magical had happened.
In fact, it’s not that nothing happened, but that the three major sects are investigating things about him and have not had time to take action against the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
He suddenly appeared, and with the help of his two spirit pets, he slaughtered quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators, and also captured the Great Venerable Guangling alive.
The three major sects would certainly launch an investigation into this newly emerged great cultivator, find out his origins and then decide how to deal with him.
If the Luanfeng Palace had not had any great male cultivators, just based on the red-gold phoenix, the three major sects would have thought that reinforcements from the Luanfeng Palace had arrived.
One of the reasons why the three major sects dared to take action against the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was that the Yuqing Sect and the Baidi Sect were willing to help delay the Luanfeng Palace, so that the Luanfeng Palace could not interfere with what happened in the Dongqi Continent and could not support the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
The three major sects did not contact the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, but Li Shiming waited for news from Liu Ziyun.
Liu Ziyun didn't dare to go to the Wanshou Sect at this time. He sent a message to Li Shiming on a mountain near the Wanshou Sect and agreed to meet at the mountain.
He represents Zhongzhou Trading Company in Dongqi Continent. As a commercial force, he will not participate in the war among the major sects in Dongqi Continent. At most, he will provide some support with resources behind the scenes, but it is impossible for him to visit them openly.
Li Shiming received the news that all the books worth noting in the library and his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15 were recorded in the database. He bid farewell to the great monk Zhang Dansheng and flew out of the gate of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
After leaving the Wanshou Sect's mountain gate, he found that all the monks from other sects who had been wandering here were gone.
It can be seen that his previous killing spree had an effect, but he didn't understand why the three major sects reacted so slowly and haven't come to him yet.
He didn't think that the three major sects would be deterred from taking action just because some early and middle Nascent Soul cultivators were killed and a great venerable was captured.
Once a war starts, it is difficult to stop, especially when both sides have suffered casualties and a great feud has already been formed.
Perhaps this conflict was previously the result of efforts by the Yuqing Sect and the Baidi Sect, but after the war began, it no longer required the intervention of the two superpowers and would become more and more intense.
Li Shiming was thinking while flying. He did not use the "Reach in One Go" technique, but flew like a normal cultivator, just to observe the situation around him more.
Even with ordinary flight, it didn't take long for him to reach the mountain where Liu Ziyun was.
At the top of the mountain, Liu Ziyun set up a table and two chairs and placed spiritual fruits on them.
"Fellow Daoist Li, please take a seat!" Liu Ziyun said with a smile and made a gesture of invitation.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, it's only been ten days, why did you ask me out?" Li Shiming sat on the chair opposite Liu Ziyun and asked with a little confusion.
Liu Ziyun said that it would take at least eight months for the first batch of trade goods to arrive.
"Fellow Daoist Li, we are collecting the fourth-grade late-stage dragon and phoenix spirit beasts. There is a batch in the headquarters warehouse that is being urgently transferred here. It will probably be delivered in a month.
I came here not for this matter, but for the news from the headquarters. The faction currently in power in the headquarters knows that you killed two great monks and robbed the long-distance merchant caravan. I heard that the headquarters has sent Great Monk Ren Mu to deal with this matter! "Liu Ziyun first opened the isolation magic circle around him, and then explained to Li Shiming why they wanted to meet.
"Master Ren Mu?" Although Li Shiming had stayed at the headquarters of Zhongzhou Trading Company for some time, he had never heard of this name.
But he was sure that since he was able to be sent by the Zhongzhou Trading Company headquarters even after two great monks were killed by him, his strength must be extremely strong.
"You should have never heard of the name of Master Ren Mu. Ren Mu seldom shows up and has been in seclusion, trying to reach the Half-Step Mahayana realm. He is also the strongest Nascent Soul cultivator in Zhongzhou Trading Company!" Liu Ziyun introduced in a low voice.
It seems that Master Ren Mu has put a lot of pressure on Liu Ziyun. Even though there are isolation arrays set up around him, he still doesn't dare to speak loudly.
As for betraying the interests of Zhongzhou Trading Company, if Liu Ziyun had not signed the transaction contract with Li Shiming, perhaps Liu Ziyun would not have told Li Shiming about this matter.
At least Li Shiming cannot die before the transaction is completed, otherwise Liu Ziyun will also be retaliated against. It was because Li Shiming had set relevant clauses when signing the contract, taking into account the reaction of the Zhongzhou Trading Company headquarters.
Because the benefits were great enough, Liu Ziyun accepted the contract, which required him to proactively inform Li Shiming of the actions of the Zhongzhou Commercial Bank headquarters under such circumstances.
"A great monk at the peak of his powers is a really good opponent. If he comes at full speed, he will arrive in around twenty, right?" Li Shiming asked Liu Ziyun with a smile, without any worries at all.
"Not so early. Great Monk Ren Mu needs to deal with some personal matters first, so he will be delayed for about ten days before setting off!" Liu Ziyun had already gathered the information.
"Thank you, this information is very useful to me!" Li Shiming took out a jade box and placed it on the table.
Liu Ziyun's eyes lit up. This jade box was one of the jade boxes that Zhongzhou Trading Company had made specifically for Li Shiming to personally roast the fourth-grade spiritual tea. Needless to say, it contained the top-grade fourth-grade spiritual tea.
Because Li Shiming disappeared for decades, the value of this top-quality fourth-grade spiritual tea in Zhongzhou Continent has been driven up to a sky-high price. The rarer it is, the more precious it is.
The most important thing is that this fourth grade spiritual tea is effective in improving the cultivation of great monks, and it is almost equivalent to a resource for great monks.
Many years ago, when Liu Ziyun heard the news that Li Shiming was betrayed at the Zhongzhou Commercial Bank headquarters, he cursed the headquarters for being short-sighted.
Not to mention Li Shiming's alchemy skills, even his ability to stir-fry spiritual tea is enough to make any force pay attention to him.
However, for the sake of the interests between the super powers, they betrayed Li Shiming, who could produce resources for great monks. This would definitely be a huge loss.
"I haven't tasted this spiritual tea for a long time!" Liu Ziyun opened the jade box, sniffed the scent of the fourth-grade spiritual tea, and said with an intoxicated look.
He then quickly closed the jade box, fearing that keeping it open for too long would affect the quality of the fourth-grade spiritual tea.
"Huh, the quality of this spiritual tea seems to be better?" Suddenly he opened his eyes wide and asked uncertainly.
As the general manager of the Dongqi Continental Trading Company, he is extremely sensitive to the quality of various spiritual objects.
Because of his good relationship with Li Shiming before, he got a lot of fourth-grade spiritual tea roasted by Li Shiming himself. Although he just sniffed it now, he could feel the difference.
"This was made after I was promoted to great monk!" Li Shiming explained with a smile.
"I thought the previous spiritual tea was the best, but I didn't expect there was still room for improvement!" Liu Ziyun shook his head and sighed.
He carefully put away the jade box. No matter how strong his pursuit of profit was, he had no intention of trading the fourth-grade spiritual tea in his hand.
He knew one thing very well, that is, the spiritual tea roasted by Li Shiming himself was many times more precious than the previous spiritual tea, and the output must be extremely low.
In the past, Li Shiming roasted spiritual tea and was commissioned by Zhongzhou Trading Company, which forced Li Shiming to complete certain tasks.
But now, not to mention that Li Shiming has already made enemies with Zhongzhou Trading Company, even if they have not made enemies, with Li Shiming's level of great monk, he cannot be forced to complete any tasks.
From now on, unless Li Shiming is willing to do so on his own initiative, it will no longer be possible to produce the spiritual tea on a regular basis.
The meeting between the two great monks was not known to other monks, and probably no monk would have thought that Li Shiming and Liu Ziyun, two great monks who were supposed to be enemies, would sit down and communicate.
The first thing Li Shiming did when he returned to the Wanshou Sect was to retrieve information about the Yuqing Sect and the Baidi Sect.
According to intelligence, the cooperation between Yuqing Sect and Baidi Sect was led by Baidi Sect, because Baidi Sect dispatched three great monks, while Yuqing Sect only had one great monk involved.
He did not see the names of the two top monks, Grand Monk Wang He and Grand Monk Yan Gao. Among the three monks of the Baidi Sect, he had only heard of the name of one, whose strength was at the upper-middle level among the monks of the super forces.
Although his strength is at an upper-middle level among the great monks of super powers, his strength is considered top-notch in the Dongqi Continent.
There are too few resources for the great monks in Dongqi Continent, and it is almost impossible to guarantee that all the great monks can improve their cultivation. This means that a large number of the great monks in Dongqi Continent are at the initial stage of becoming a great monk.
"Shizhen, are you planning any action?" Shortly after Li Shiming obtained intelligence on the two super powers, Master Hu approached Li Shiming and asked.
After this period of recovery, with the elixir provided by Li Shiming, Master Hu no longer showed any discomfort in his left leg when moving, and his aura was much stronger.
Although he is still some distance away from his peak condition, it is extremely difficult to recover to this level from a serious injury in such a short time.
Monk Hu has recovered his spirit and has been paying attention to Li Shiming recently. He found out about the intelligence of the two super powers as soon as Li Shiming investigated.
He didn't want to let Li Shiming act alone. In his opinion, even if Li Shiming had some adventures, it was still too dangerous for him to face the great monks of Yuqing Sect and Baidi Sect.
"I have a feud with Zhongzhou Trading Company, and I killed two great monks from Zhongzhou Trading Company on the ocean on my way back to Dongqi Continent. I heard from Zhongzhou Trading Company that the headquarters of Zhongzhou Trading Company will come to me in a few days. I want to clean up the forces of Yuqing Sect and Baidi Sect left in Dongqi Continent in advance to reduce some trouble!" Li Shiming said without hiding anything.
"The Zhongzhou Trading Company has lost all their dignity. Whoever has the bigger fist on the ocean is right. Their caravans have robbed goods from so many other forces. Why didn't they mention the rules at that time?" Monk Hu was an extremely protective person. He shouted as soon as he heard this.
Li Shiming looked at Monk Hu with a smile. He felt that Monk Hu was particularly cute at this moment.
"You just stay inside the mountain gate. Zhongzhou Trading Company doesn't dare to interfere in the power struggle. If they really want to get involved in such a power struggle, they will violate the business rules and they won't be able to do business in the future!" Monk Hu was afraid that Li Shiming would act impulsively, so he continued to persuade him.
"I can handle the affairs of Zhongzhou Trading Company. I still have some fighting power!" Li Shiming saw that Master Hu was worried, so he thought about it and decided to reveal some of his strength.
He waved his hand, and eleven 'Silver Wing Spirit Insects' flew out and circled around his body.
"Is this the 'Silver-winged Spiritual Guworm'?" How could Master Hu not recognize the 'Silver-winged Spiritual Guworm'? He just didn't dare to believe it.
The strength of the 'Silver-winged Spirit Guworm' lies in its close combat and defense. It is difficult for a great monk to kill the 'Silver-winged Spirit Guworm', and once the 'Silver-winged Spirit Guworm' gets close to them, it will be a huge trouble.
The only way to fight is to use magic to keep the 'Silver Wing Spirit Guworm' away from you, and give priority to attacking the owner who controls the 'Silver Wing Spirit Guworm'.
Master Hu was thinking of something. He and Master Ding had fought with Master Zhao Qingfeng before. At that time, Zhao Qingfeng controlled twelve "Silver Wing Spiritual Gu Insects" to fight against the two masters.
"Are these eleven 'Silver-winged Spiritual Gu Insects' of yours the same twelve that Zhao Qingfeng had?" Great Monk Hu asked again.
He could sense that the aura of these eleven 'Silver Winged Spiritual Gu Insects' were much stronger than the twelve 'Silver Winged Spiritual Gu Insects' that Master Zhao Qingfeng had back then, and the reason why Master Zhao Qingfeng was restrained by the two masters was not because the 'Silver Winged Spiritual Gu Insects' were not strong enough, but because Master Zhao Qingfeng could not fully control the twelve 'Silver Winged Spiritual Gu Insects'.
Master Zhao Qingfeng could only control the twelve 'Silver Wing Spiritual Gu Insects' for a very short time, and he was unable to control them accurately, and they were also prone to backlash.
But looking at the eleven 'Silver Winged Spiritual Insects' beside Li Shiming, they were flying around Li Shiming very obediently, not at all like the 'Silver Winged Spiritual Insects' described.
The 'Silver-winged Spiritual Guworm' requires the blood and essence of a cultivator to forcibly suppress it. If it is summoned to fight for too long or in too large numbers, it will cause the 'Silver-winged Spiritual Guworm' to devour its master.
But Li Shiming's eleven 'Silver-winged Spiritual Gu Insects' are more spiritual than any other 'Silver-winged Spiritual Gu Insects' he had ever seen.
"That year, I discovered the injured Zhao Qingfeng, killed him, and obtained his 'Gufeng Bag'. The 'Silver-winged Spirit Gu Worm' was obtained at that time!" Li Shiming had no need to hide anything and talked about the 'Silver-winged Spirit Gu Worm'.
"At that time, I was still wondering why the Gufeng Sect suddenly declined. Although Zhao Qingfeng was seriously injured at the time, it was not fatal. It turned out to be you. You are too bold!" Even though he knew that Li Shiming was fine and was now a great monk, Great Monk Hu still couldn't help but shake his head.
The gap between Li Shiming and Master Zhao Qingfeng was huge at the beginning. Even if Master Zhao Qingfeng was seriously injured, he could easily kill Li Shiming.
"I have mastered the corresponding rules in both sword cultivation and thunder cultivation!" Since Li Shiming decided to explain his strength, he continued.
