Li Shiming followed Patriarch Ge and came to a place at the mountain gate of Qianhuan Sect. It was obvious that this was not the residence of core cultivators, and even the spiritual energy seemed thinner than other places.
"Don't come again, we have no resources!" Ren Feier's voice came from the cave.
However, Ren Feier's fearless character that day had changed, as could be heard from her voice. At this moment, Ren Feier seemed to be enduring oppression.
Li Shiming glanced at the old man Ge beside him, and the old man Ge's eyes flickered.
"Ren Feier, I'm back!" Li Shiming said to the closed door of the cave.
The door of the cave was opened in an instant, revealing Ren Feier's mature face.
"Brother-in-law, why did you come back just now? We were all bullied to death!" Ren Feier looked at Li Shiming, and then saw Old Ancestor Ge who was a few steps behind Li Shiming. The smart girl figured out something, and she cried and hugged Li Shiming, slapping him hard and said.
"It's my brother-in-law who is in trouble. Where's your sister?" Li Shiming quickly released his body's autonomous defense to prevent Ren Feier from hitting his body and getting hurt. He asked softly.
Ren Feier is already in the middle stage of the Golden Core at this time. With Ren Feier's talent, it is normal for her to reach the Golden Core stage after a hundred years.
"Ah, sister, I'm going to tell you!" Ren Feier finally reacted at this time, turned around and ran towards the cave.
At this time, the Ren Feier of that year seemed to have come back again, and Li Shiming couldn't help but smile.
"Tell me what's going on?" Li Shiming asked, pointing at the cave.
He was very kind to the Qianhuan Sect in the past. Just because of his alchemy service for the Qianhuan Sect, many cultivators in the Qianhuan Sect owed him favors.
He did not ask for much from the Qianhuan Sect, he just asked them to take care of Yin Shilan.
But look at the cave in front of you, this is the worst cave. It shows what kind of life Yin Shilan has lived in the sect.
Not to mention that the other Jindan cultivators actually knew nothing about the name Yin Shilan, or pretended to know nothing about it. It was the same anyway, they just treated Yin Shilan as air.
“After you left, the ancestors of other sects joined forces several times. The Qianhuan Sect is weak, and I can only protect Shi Lan, but I can’t give Shi Lan extra resources!” Ancestor Ge replied bitterly.
As he was speaking, Li Shiming sensed Yin Shilan's breath. When he saw Yin Shilan, he was suddenly stunned.
The aura on Yin Shilan's body was actually only that of the middle stage of the Golden Core. You should know that the elixir he left for Yin Shilan alone was more than enough for Yin Shilan to cultivate to the late stage of the Golden Core.
Before he left, he left Yin Shilan with several times the required amount of cultivation resources, thinking that when Yin Shilan reached the peak of the Golden Core stage, he could use the excess resources to exchange for resources to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. In addition, the Qianhuan Sect itself had promotion resource allocations for peak Jindan cultivators, so with Yin Shilan's talent, it would be no problem for him to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
But the Yin Shilan in front of him was still in the middle stage of the Golden Core, and the hundred years had been completely wasted.
"Where are the resources I left for Lan'er?" He suddenly turned around and looked at Ancestor Ge and asked.
Ancestor Ge's body seemed to be hit by a giant palm, and flew backwards dozens of meters away.
Ancestor Ge didn't care about the pain in her body. She was more shocked by Li Shiming's strength.
She was 100% sure that at that moment, Li Shiming did not use any spiritual power at all. He just used the intimidating power in his eyes to knock her away.
Although she had limited knowledge, she also discovered that Li Shiming's strength seemed to be stronger than the mid-Nascent Soul cultivators she had seen before.
But when asked to describe what her strengths were, she couldn't.
Because in her eyes, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul was like a mountain, and Li Shiming's aura was taller and larger than the mountain. However, due to her realm and vision, she could only see this much.
"Shiming, don't blame the master, she has no other choice!" Yin Shilan exclaimed softly, stepped forward and gently supported Li Shiming to prevent him from getting angry again, she whispered.
"Lan'er, they have delayed you for a hundred years!" Li Shiming gently embraced Yin Shilan and said lovingly.
Even though Yin Shilan has suffered injustice for a hundred years, she is still so kind.
"I don't care, I finally waited for you to come back!" Yin Shilan said in a firm and happy voice.
"We will never be separated again. I have the power to protect you in these hundred years!" Li Shiming looked at Yin Shilan gently and promised.
"You must have suffered a lot in the past hundred years!" Yin Shilan didn't care about Li Shiming's improvement in strength. After losing Li Shiming's protection in the past hundred years, she understood the cruelty of the world of immortal cultivation, and she knew even more how difficult it was for a cultivator to be alone outside.
"Tell me what happened here!" Li Shiming glanced at Old Ancestor Ge who stood up, then turned to Yin Shilan and asked.
"Since you left, Master was able to protect me at first, but there were too many ancestors coming, and for the sake of Qianhuan Sect, Master had no choice but to agree to their requests!" Yin Shilan said calmly.
"Where are the resources I gave you?" Li Shiming asked, with some guesses in his mind.
"They were all taken away by the ancestors. Thanks to Master over the years, Fei'er has had the resources to cultivate to the middle stage of the Golden Core. The Qianhuan Sect doesn't have many resources. A cultivator like me who is targeted by many ancestors cannot obtain many resources from the sect!" Yin Shilan shook his head and said.
"Fellow Daoist Ge, please tell me a message. I will give all the Nascent Soul cultivators who have snatched resources from Lan'er twenty days to prepare. I will return ten times the resources they took from Lan'er, otherwise they will bear the consequences themselves!" Li Shiming turned to Patriarch Ge and said.
He knew that what Yin Shilan had suffered was due to the resources he left behind.
However, he did not expect that the Yuanying cultivators would rush to snatch the Jindan stage resources.
In fact, he did not take into account the resource situation of the Northern Shu Continent. In the Northern Shu Continent, the resources of the middle and late stage golden elixirs were already very tight, not to mention the high-level elixirs he had refined.
At that time, because they couldn't find Li Shiming, the Nascent Soul cultivators lost face and gathered together. They used this as an excuse to demand that Qianhuan Sect hand over Yin Shilan.
Ancestor Ge refused at first, but there were too many ancestors who came forward and she could not bear it, so she had to agree to the ancestors' request and hand over all the spiritual objects on Yin Shilan. Yin Shilan was arranged to be guarded in a place with thin spiritual energy.
After talking with Yin Shilan, Li Shiming realized that this cave was actually a place equivalent to a prison.
No wonder there were monks from the sect coming to cause trouble. Judging from Fei'er's tone before she opened the door, there were quite a few people looking for trouble.
"What's the situation?" When Patriarch Zhan saw Patriarch Ge appear, he hurried forward and asked.
He wanted to follow just now, but was stopped by a look from Li Shiming.
"Li Shiming said that all the cultivators who took resources from Shi Lan should return ten times the amount within 20 days!" Patriarch Ge shook his head helplessly.
"How can this be done? You also know that those resources are mostly high-level elixirs refined by Li Shiming. No other alchemy master can refine such elixirs except Li Shiming. Li Shiming has been gone for a hundred years. Even if there were some high-level elixirs accumulated in the past, they have all been consumed!" said Patriarch Zhan with his eyes wide open.
"Let's not worry about this kind of thing. Fortunately, we left a bond of loyalty at that time, otherwise the Qianhuan Sect might not exist anymore!" Elder Ge sighed.
She had witnessed how powerful Li Shiming was and knew very well that the Qianhuan Sect had no power to resist Li Shiming.
At this moment, Ancestor Ge and Ancestor Zhan both looked in the direction of Yin Shilan's cave.
"Lan'er, this cave is too bad. I think changing to another cave will be beneficial to your cultivation!" Li Shiming frowned and persuaded as he felt the spiritual energy of the cave.
"I have lived in this cave for a hundred years and I'm used to it. If you don't like it, let's change to another cave!" Yin Shilan did not insist, but looked at Li Shiming and said.
"Since you like it, then don't move. I'll just renovate it!" Li Shiming said with a smile. He shouted to the cave: "Fei'er, come out!"
Ren Feier poked her head out of the cave, glanced at Li Shiming, and then at her sister. She had intentionally not come out in order to facilitate their first meeting.
Unfortunately, both Li Shiming and Yin Shilan were relatively reserved, and they only expressed their deep feelings to each other even though they had not seen each other for a hundred years.
"Brother-in-law, I don't like this shabby cave house. This hill is too ugly and not as high as other mountains!" Ren Feier had actually been eavesdropping, and now she raised her objection.
The mountain where this cave is located is a relatively short mountain. Not to mention spiritual energy, there is only one Jindan early stage spiritual vein, which is branched out from the main spiritual vein and shared with several surrounding mountains.
This spiritual vein in the early stage of the Golden Core can only barely maintain one's own realm, let alone improve one's realm.
This is also the reason why Yin Shilan's realm has remained at the middle stage of the Golden Core for hundreds of years. Without resources and spiritual energy, it does not matter how high his talent is.
"You'll like it soon!" Li Shiming said with a faint smile.
He asked Yin Shilan and Ren Feier to come to his side, and then he grabbed the mountain hard.
The "White Emperor Art" contains the ability to control mountains. With his strength, it would not be a big problem for him to even uproot the entire Qianhuan Sect from the ground, let alone this small mountain.
A small mountain was lifted from the ground, and he cast a series of spells that landed at the bottom of the mountain.
Before he became a great monk, he might still need to use materials to stabilize the bottom of the mountain.
Now, he only needs to use a trace of earth-related power to make the mountain extremely solid.
He took out some fourth-grade formation flags. There were quite a few of these fourth-grade formation flags, all of which came from the spoils of war.
He threw the fourth-grade formation flag toward the mountain, and it landed on various places on the mountain, seemingly in a disorderly manner. However, the next moment the formation was activated, and the mountain floated in the air by itself.
At this time, the small hill is already higher than any other mountain here.
"Shi Ming, this is such a waste!" Yin Shilan was a connoisseur. She liked formations herself, so she could see the quality of the flags. They were all fourth-grade flags. The value of these flags alone was not commensurate with this small mountain.
She also thought that she would have to leave Qianhuan Sect and stay with Li Shiming in the future, and she couldn't take this mountain with her.
"This mountain is a commemoration of you. We will take it away when we leave!" Li Shiming waved his hand and said.
This small mountain can be placed completely inside the Tianren Cave Heaven.
Li Shiming walked towards the mountain, took out the 'Golden Flower of Glaze' and threw it towards the mountain.
He had no plan to plant any spiritual plants on this mountain. He had not used it since he collected the 'Liuguang Golden Flower', so it was a good opportunity to take it out and give it a try.
Of course, he also wanted to show off to Yin Shilan. A man is a boy until he dies. He is over a hundred years old, but his desire to show off to his girlfriend is still as young as a teenager.
The 'Golden Flower of Glaze' fell on the mountain peak and immediately turned into golden flowers all over the mountain.
He also set permissions for Yin Shilan and Ren Feier, so that they can control the "Liuguang Golden Flower" from now on.
"What kind of flower is this? It's like a dream!" Yin Shilan looked at the sea of flowers in surprise. The previously desolate mountain peak instantly turned into a sea of flowers.
"It's called 'Golden Flower of Glazed Light', and this is the formula to control it. I have set permissions for you. Once you learn it, you can control these flowers freely!" Li Shiming handed a jade slip to Yin Shilan and said.
Ren Feier was more anxious than Yin Shilan. She snatched the jade slip first and started reading it.
As she read the description in the jade slip, her mouth opened wider and wider.
"Fei'er, you are not a child anymore. Why do you open your mouth so wide!" Yin Shilan couldn't help but say softly when she saw Ren Fei'er's unpresentable look.
"Sister, these are not flowers, but a defense that can withstand the attacks of middle-Nascent Soul stage and ordinary late-Nascent Soul stage cultivators!" Ren Feier ignored her sister's teachings, she excitedly waved the jade slips in her hand and said.
When Yin Shilan heard that it was such a precious treasure, she turned to look at Li Shiming and was about to say something but didn't say it.
Li Shiming knew what she meant. She wanted to say it was such a waste.
"This is the gain from one of my adventures. It was originally a treasure used by powerful cultivators to protect themselves, but it has never been used. I will place it here first. If you come across a suitable cave in the future, you can move it there!" Li Shiming explained with a smile.
"How much danger have you encountered?" Yin Shilan didn't care about the preciousness of the 'Golden Flower of Glazed Light'. Her tears slid down her face and she whispered.
The more precious the treasure is, the more danger one has to face. She would rather not have these treasures than let Li Shiming face danger.
"It's all over. In fact, I didn't encounter much danger!" Li Shiming saw Yin Shilan crying and hurriedly tried to persuade her.
"Hmph, you haven't shed a tear even after being bullied for a hundred years, but you cry when you say your brother-in-law is in danger!" Ren Feier couldn't stand the interaction between her sister and brother-in-law, and said sourly.
Yin Shilan was so troubled by her sister's revelation that she couldn't help but hit her lightly with her hand.
Ren Feier took advantage of the situation to throw the jade slip to Yin Shilan, and went to observe the golden flowers up close.
Li Shiming doesn't have to worry about Ren Feier's safety. Since he has given Ren Feier the authority, the attacks of these golden flowers will not have any effect on Ren Feier.
