Li Shiming originally thought that he came here as a 'phantom clone' and not his real body, so it would not attract much attention.
But he miscalculated his influence, and except for the Great Power, he had the most powerful cultivator who could walk around, and a master alchemist who could consistently refine high-quality elixirs for the Great Power.
Either of his two identities is enough to influence the situation in the world of immortal cultivation.
His powerful fighting ability allows him to contend with the external fighting power of any superpower, and his alchemy ability can even change the future of a superpower.
So on the second day after he moved into Fengqi Palace, a great monk from a super power came to visit him.
Even though this is the Luanfeng Palace, it cannot withstand the enthusiasm of these super powers.
Originally, some super powers sent great monks to Dongqi Continent, but unfortunately it was not easy to meet Li Shiming. At most, they could meet with the great monks of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
Now that there is an opportunity to meet with Li Shiming directly, the superpowers will certainly not let it go.
Although what Li Shiming came with was just an energy clone, in a sense, the energy clone was enough to represent Li Shiming's identity.
First, the great monks from Zhongzhou Continent came to visit. Of course, the Luanfeng Palace did not allow in the great monks who came from small sects. Only the great monks from super powers had the opportunity to enter the Luanfeng Palace.
This time, Luanfeng Palace gained a lot of favors just from the visit to Li Shiming, which can be said to be a huge profit.
Li Shiming didn't care. As his reputation grew, he couldn't always rely on Zhongzhou Trading Company to accept alchemy commissions.
Now he can fully organize his own network of contacts.
The hall on the first floor of Fengqi Palace became his temporary reception room, and Luanfeng Palace also prepared enough fourth-grade hospitality items for this purpose.
Li Shiming did not be polite with Luanfeng Palace. He understood that Luanfeng Palace had gained a lot of benefits from him, so it was reasonable for them to take out these hospitality items.
In the days that followed, he met many great monks, some familiar and some unfamiliar.
Although it is said to be familiar, in fact, this sense of familiarity does not come from the original body, but from the clone Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba is a cultivator from the super power Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion, and he has more opportunities to deal with other super powers than his original body.
The most common interaction Li Shiming had with super powers was fighting, and most of the super power monks who fought with him had fallen at his hands.
Twenty days later, before Yin Shilan's initiation ceremony officially began, Li Shiming had already met with all the great monks from the super powers in the Zhongzhou continent.
These superpowers also knew that he came here as an energy clone, and did not directly discuss the alchemy commission, but instead discussed the alliance with the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
Moreover, the conditions for the superpowers to form an alliance with the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect were very relaxed, allowing the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to gain an advantage in many aspects.
Li Shiming did not have exclusive power. All negotiations between the 'phantom clone' and the super powers would be reported to Master Hu by the original body through Master Luo Pei, and Master Hu and other masters of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect would discuss and make a decision together.
Speaking of Great Monk Luo Pei, over the past few years, the huge size of the Sky Ghost has been brought under control, and the excess spiritual energy has been managed. At least the Sky Ghost will not be unable to control Great Monk Luo Pei because of his huge body.
The 'phantom clone' left Li Shiming's side, and even the five late-stage clones left together. Li Shiming was in seclusion practicing again, and could only contact the outside world through the great monk Luo Pei.
Li Shiming's 'phantom clone' did not wear a robe made of energy, but instead wore a very formal pure white robe with a small Luanfeng Palace mark on the chest.
This pure white robe was sent from Luanfeng Palace. It is the identity symbol of the nuns in Luanfeng Palace. They do not need to wear it at ordinary times, but in important ceremonies of Luanfeng Palace, they need to wear such a robe to represent their identity.
Palace Master Gu took Li Shiming and left Fengqi Palace, heading towards a main hall inside Luanfeng Palace.
"Fellow Daoist Li, this is the Luanfeng Hall, and it is only open to male practitioners during important ceremonies!" Hall Master Gu introduced it to Li Shiming with a smile.
Her attitude towards Li Shiming changed a lot. Before, she was angry because Li Shiming easily broke the test she had carefully prepared.
But during these twenty days, every super power that came to visit Li Shiming needed to get permission from her, which brought her a lot of benefits and also made her witness Li Shiming's terrible influence, and her opinion of Li Shiming changed greatly.
A capable monk is naturally different from an ordinary monk.
"I didn't expect that it would take so long for Lan'er to join the Luanfeng Palace!" Li Shiming said with a smile.
According to Master Li, the initiation ceremony usually only takes a few days of preparation, which mainly allows Yin Shilan to clear her mind and teach her some things she needs to know in the ceremony.
But this time, it took a full twenty days before the ceremony began, which made Li Shiming very strange.
"This is because Fellow Daoist Li's influence is too great. Yin Shilan's initiation ceremony received many applications to watch the ceremony, and the palace needed to deal with these matters, which delayed the time!" Palace Master Gu explained, shaking his head helplessly.
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the entrance of the Luanfeng Hall, and Hall Master Gu led Li Shiming into the gate.
At this time, the Luanfeng Hall was divided into two sides, the left side was filled with male cultivators. Although the robes of these male cultivators were different, they all had the Luanfeng Palace mark on their chests.
The female cultivators on the other side were all from the Luanfeng Palace wearing palace costumes.
Among the male cultivators, he recognized nearly ten great monks who had visited Li Shiming. Although he had never seen the rest of the great monks, he could tell from their standing positions that their identities and status were no lower than those of the great monks from super powers that he recognized.
"Hello, Fellow Daoist Li, I am Niu Huan from the Sun Shooting Sect!"
"Guiyuan Sect's Mo Bao greets Fellow Daoist Li!"
"Ma Chu of Feiyu Sect greets Fellow Daoist Li!"
Some enthusiastic monks came over to greet Li Shiming, while some more reserved monks smiled and nodded to Li Shiming.
But the male monks here are very clear that the purpose of their coming here is to get acquainted with Li Shiming and let Li Shiming know that they are also sons-in-law of Luanfeng Palace.
Making friends with this identity provides a starting point for deeper friendships.
Li Shiming returned the greetings one by one, and with the urging of the great monks, he was placed in the first seat on the left.
He also wanted to be polite, but the problem was that no senior monk would stand above him. If he was too polite, the male senior monks here would line up from where he was standing, creating a strange scene.
"Palace Master Feng is here!"
Following a notification, a shadow flew in from the main entrance of the Luanfeng Hall, and a powerful aura enveloped the hall.
"A great monk at the pinnacle of his abilities!" Li Shiming sensed the realm of this Phoenix Palace Master.
No superpower should be underestimated. The Phoenix Palace Master of Luanfeng Palace is no simple person. Although he cannot judge the combat power of the Phoenix Palace Master himself, the small phoenix standing on the shoulder of the Phoenix Palace Master is a fourth-grade late-stage red-gold phoenix.
When the Red-Gold Phoenix was in the middle fourth stage, it had the strength to compete with great cultivators.
When it reaches the late fourth stage, its combat power is close to that of powerful great cultivators. And this red-gold phoenix in the Phoenix Palace is about to reach the peak level in the late fourth stage realm, and can definitely fight with the peak great cultivators.
In other words, the strength of this Phoenix Palace Master alone is equivalent to that of two peak great monks.
This is the benefit of training a top-level spirit pet. Although it requires more resources, it will be of greater help to oneself after it forms combat power.
Of course, Li Shiming was just surprised and not very afraid.
Even though he came here as just a 'phantom clone' this time, his combat power is comparable to that of an ordinary thunder cultivator.
But he brought five late-stage golden corpses with him, and with their exaggerated equipment, he had the strength to fight as long as he was not targeted by a powerful being.
"It has been a long time since Luanfeng Palace has had such a grand occasion. Thank you all fellow Taoists for coming to participate in the initiation ceremony of the new disciple Yin Shilan!" The Master of Feng Palace landed on the main seat in the hall and bowed slightly to the male cultivators on the left.
Her gaze focused on Li Shiming. After sensing Li Shiming's 'phantom clone', her eyes were full of inquiry.
As a top monk, she could sense how strange Li Shiming's "phantom clone" was.
If she hadn't known in advance that Li Shiming came as a "phantom clone", she would have thought that this was a real body.
At the same time, she also had a clear understanding of Li Shiming's strength. Being able to give the 'phantom clone' the strength of a great monk of thunder cultivation meant that Li Shiming's level of mastery in the art of thunder cultivation was beyond imagination.
Even though she was a top cultivator, she couldn't make her energy clone reach the level of Li Shiming's 'phantom clone'.
Li Shiming didn't care about the inquiring gaze of the Phoenix Palace Master. With his current strength, unless the Luanfeng Palace was planning to make a mortal enemy with him, it would be impossible for him to take any action against this "phantom clone".
He smiled and returned the greeting along with the other male cultivators to show respect for his status as the Palace Master.
"The initiation ceremony begins, please welcome the ancestor of the Luanfeng!" The Phoenix Palace Master turned around and bowed to the long table in front of the hall, saying.
With a flash of light, a jade-carved phoenix appeared on the long table.
As soon as the jade phoenix appeared, Li Shiming felt his 'phantom clone' tremble. This body was actually affected by a jade carving.
While he was shocked, he also understood that this jade phoenix must be a top-notch treasure. He just didn't know what special abilities it had besides being used as the ancestor of the phoenix and the phoenix in rituals.
The expression of the Phoenix Palace Master was extremely solemn, and all the cultivators who were able to participate in this ceremony maintained respect for the ancestor of the Luanfeng Palace.
Then Master Li brought Yin Shilan in. Yin Shilan had changed into a palace dress today, which was the standard robe of Luanfeng Palace.
The subsequent ceremony was conducted step by step under the personal guidance of the Phoenix Palace Master, with Yin Shilan stepping forward to pay great respects to the ancestor of the Luanfeng.
After Yin Shilan finished the ceremony, a ray of light flew out from the body of the Luanfeng Ancestor and landed on her.
"Yin Shilan, due to the contribution you have made to the Luanfeng Palace, this palace master has proposed, and the elders have approved, that you will become a core disciple of the Luanfeng Palace. This is the spiritual pet red-gold phoenix egg bestowed by the Luanfeng Palace. I hope you will practice hard and live up to the expectations of the Luanfeng Palace!" The Phoenix Palace Master took out an egg and handed it to Yin Shilan, and announced in a deep voice.
Li Shiming looked at Master Li in surprise. Master Li also had a look of surprise on his face. It was obvious that Palace Master Feng had not discussed the proposal with Master Li.
Yin Shilan happily took the red-gold phoenix egg. She didn't need to think about those complicated issues. She knew without thinking that the so-called contribution was because of Li Shiming.
She was happy that she also had a red-gold phoenix, and Xiaofeng had a companion.
Ever since she and Li Shiming became Taoist partners, she has been able to come into contact with Xiao Feng and Huan Ling Long at any time. Due to Huan Ling Long's invisibility ability and the fact that female cultivators have almost no resistance to the beautiful phoenix, she really wants to own a red-gold phoenix.
"Disciple thanks Palace Master!" Yin Shilan woke up from her surprise and thanked Palace Master Feng.
"Congratulations, Fairy Yin. I present you a gift on behalf of Zhongzhou Commercial Bank!"
"Congratulations, Fairy Yin. Beidou Sect sends you a gift!"
At this time, the great monks on the left came forward one by one to congratulate Yin Shilan and presented gifts.
The blessings from the spectators could not be refused. Yin Shilan glanced at Li Shiming, who nodded slightly, and she accepted the gifts one by one.
The Phoenix Palace Master watched with a smile. The reason why Yin Shilan was made a core cultivator when she first entered the sect and was also given the Scarlet-Gold Phoenix was because of Li Shiming.
Perhaps before Li Shiming's 'phantom clone' came to Zhongzhou Continent, the Phoenix Palace Master would follow the idea of Master Li and let Yin Shilan get a red-gold phoenix as soon as possible among the red-gold phoenixes in recent years.
However, the enthusiasm of various super powers in Zhongzhou Continent for Li Shiming made the Lord of Feng Palace realize the importance of Li Shiming again. This son-in-law of Luanfeng Palace can bring great benefits to Luanfeng Palace.
There is one thing that the Master of Feng Palace needs to consider carefully. Yin Shilan did not join Luanfeng Palace at the beginning, but was introduced to Luanfeng Palace by Li Shiming after she became Li Shiming's Taoist partner.
This means that the Luanfeng Palace does not have much influence on Yin Shilan. If Li Shiming is important enough, the Luanfeng Palace needs to increase its investment in Yin Shilan so that Yin Shilan will recognize the Luanfeng Palace instead of treating it as a guide for practicing martial arts.
In addition to the male cultivators who came to watch the ceremony and presented gifts, some female cultivators from Luanfeng Palace also came forward and presented their own gifts.
They knew very well that making friends with Yin Shilan would bring benefits to themselves. This was not mercenary, but the most basic way of doing things.
It is estimated that only Yin Shilan's initiation ceremony could have such a scene. A normal initiation ceremony would at most be solemn, but there would not be so many monks watching the ceremony, let alone congratulatory gifts.
