Patriarch Yu was not surprised that Patriarch Zhang Kai visited Li Shiming again, but he knew that Patriarch Zhang Kai owed Li Shiming remuneration for alchemy.
But he was still a little surprised when he saw the Nascent Soul cultivator who came with Patriarch Zhang Kai.
You can't blame him for not knowing Master Jiang Hong. Let alone a Nascent Soul cultivator like him, it is extremely difficult for even a Nascent Soul cultivator from a medium-sized sect to meet Master Jiang Hong.
As one of the top three alchemy masters in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, his status is extremely noble and cannot be seen by Yuanying Ancestors outside the four major sects at will.
Ancestor Yu thought that Master Jiang Hong also came to Li Shiming to make alchemy. Although he was a little reluctant, he thought he was trying to steal his business.
He treated Li Shiming's introduction to alchemy as a business and was ready to make good use of it to make Wu Qingshan famous.
Otherwise, why would he spend so much money to give away the fourth-grade Fire Phoenix Cauldron.
Patriarch Zhang Kai did not introduce Master Jiang Hong. If any monk knew that Master Jiang Hong came to visit Li Shiming, the impact would be quite big. Concealing Master Jiang Hong's identity would be the best choice.
With the idea of out of sight and out of mind, Patriarch Yu led Patriarch Zhang Kai and Master Jiang Hong outside Li Shiming's cave and left. Of course, Patriarch Zhang Kai expressed his intention to meet Li Shiming alone.
Also very important.
"Ancestor Zhang, and this ancestor, please come in!" Li Shiming greeted Ancestor Zhang Kai warmly when he saw him.
Of course he was enthusiastic. This was to give him a resource to advance to the Nascent Soul. What he lacked was the resources to advance to the Nascent Soul.
"Haha, I'm disturbing Master Li!" Patriarch Zhang Kai said with a smile. He made a gesture of invitation to Master Jiang Hong and asked Master Jiang Hong to go ahead.
When Li Shiming saw this scene, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Who is the ancestor Zhang Kai? He is the Yuan Ying ancestor of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
Master Jiang Hong is obviously also a monk in the early stage of Yuanying, and is in the same realm as Ancestor Zhang Kai. Looking at the attitude of Ancestor Zhang Kai, Master Jiang Hong's identity must be very extraordinary.
While thinking about it, he returned to the hall of the cave. Li Shiming and the two Nascent Soul Ancestors sat down separately as host and guest.
"Master Li, this is the reward for the last alchemy. I'm very sorry that it was delivered late!" Patriarch Zhang Kai took out a jade bottle and handed it over and said.
Li Shiming took the jade bottle with a smile, glanced inside, and found that it was a fourth-grade elixir.
This should be the Yuan Ying promotion resource prepared by the Ten Thousand Beast Sect for the great elder. The name of this fourth-grade elixir is unknown, but its quality has reached the intermediate level.
When he was in Beishu Continent, he didn't realize that all the fourth-grade elixirs he refined at that time were high-grade, and he didn't have much sense of the quality of the fourth-grade elixirs.
But after arriving in the Eastern Qi Continent and truly understanding the level of normal alchemy masters in refining fourth-grade elixirs, they discovered that it was extremely difficult to refine fourth-grade elixirs to the intermediate level.
That's why the last time he refined the fourth-grade detoxifying elixir for Patriarch Zhang Kai, he deliberately upgraded the quality to the intermediate level, just to increase his own value.
"Please forgive me for my poor eyesight. I don't know what the name of this elixir is? What is its effect?" Li Shiming didn't pretend to understand. He asked aloud.
"This is the 'Eight Directions Sublimation Pill'. If you take it at the beginning of your promotion to Nascent Soul, you can restrain your spiritual power to a greater extent!" The person who answered him was Master Jiang Hong, who refined this 'Eight Directions Sublimation Pill'.
There was joy in Li Shiming's eyes. He had five golden pills. This 'Bafang Sublimation Pill' could just make up for the problem of his other Yuan Ying promotion resources in condensing his spiritual power in the early stages.
"Master Li, you don't know about the 'Bafang Sublimation Pill', so you are not the master of alchemy in this continent!" Master Jiang Hong continued.
Li Shiming was startled, but he was not worried about anything. After being in Dong Qi Continent for such a long time, he also knew that Dong Qi Continent was open to the outside world.
The Eastern Qi Continent also had to be opened up, because there are many transcontinental forces on the continent, and it is impossible to block the mainland.
"Yes, I encountered some trouble, so I came here!" Li Shiming did not explain much.
"I have seen the elixir refined by Master Li. You deliberately suppressed your own elixir refining strength. I wonder why?" Master Jiang Hong asked further.
"Ancestor, are you also a master of alchemy?" Li Shiming raised his head and looked at Master Jiang Hong. He found some traces and couldn't help but ask.
Although Master Jiang Hong's robe has its own cleaning function and there is no trace of the smell of the elixir left on his body, long-term alchemy has still left some special features on him that only a master of alchemy can detect.
"Jiang Hong, the alchemy master of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, has met Master Li!" Master Jiang Hong smiled and bowed before introducing himself again.
"Li Shizhen, a casual cultivator, has met Master Jiang Hong!" Li Shiming also returned the salute solemnly and said.
This was the first time he met the master of alchemy in the Nascent Soul stage.
It is said that alchemy masters in the early stage of Nascent Soul can already refine all fourth-grade elixirs. If such an alchemy master appears in the Beishu continent, it will almost be the ceiling for alchemy masters.
"Master Li, I heard that you use the third-grade alchemy furnace to brew the fourth-grade spiritual tea. I wonder if I would be honored to taste it?" Master Jiang Hong asked Li Shiming with a smile.
Li Shiming also smiled. This was a test for him, and of course he had to accept it.
The reason why he refined the fourth-grade intermediate elixir was not to gain the attention of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.
In this world of immortality, without a strong background, once too many abilities are exposed, it will be a recipe for death.
He is not in Beishu Continent now, he has a large sect as his backer.
Since he had no backer, he wanted to find one.
This had been his plan for a long time, and he even planned to wait until after the Nascent Soul stage to find a powerful force to join him and serve as a guest.
Keqing is just a temporary measure. Although Keqing sounds good, he is not a member of the powerful family.
The opportunity in front of him is very rare. If he can really join the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, he will save himself a lot of trouble.
"Don't you dare disobey me!" Li Shiming responded with a smile.
He took out the third-grade five-element nine-turn furnace, and the red Yang spiritual fire inside lit up. He put the fourth-grade spiritual tea leaves and the fourth-grade spiritual spring water into the alchemy furnace, and mobilized the spiritual fire to heat the spiritual spring water and spiritual tea.
Master Jiang Hong's eyes were fixed on the Five Elements Nine-turn Furnace. Although he did not use his own spirit to enter the alchemy furnace, he could still see a lot of things based on his experience in alchemy.
He sighed in his heart about Li Shiming's control over the temperature. He could not know the details of the alchemy furnace, but he could see the temperature changes of the Red Yang Spiritual Fire based on the changes on the surface of the alchemy furnace.
This kind of control over the temperature of the red sun spiritual fire made him feel amazing.
"Please use it!" Li Shiming tapped the Five Elements Nine Rotator, and the fourth-grade spiritual tea inside flew out and fell into three third-grade tea cups. He was sent to Master Jiang Hong and Patriarch Zhang Kai, and he made a gesture and said
.
This was not the first time for ancestor Zhang Kai to drink this fourth-grade spiritual tea, but he still started to taste it with great joy.
Master Jiang Hong held up the third-grade teacup with all his energy. He did not want the temperature in his hands to affect the fourth-grade tea.
When he took a sip of the four-grade spiritual tea, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Good!" he praised.
Li Shiming smiled reservedly. He had long been accustomed to compliments. He took a sip of the spiritual tea and secretly lamented that the fourth-grade spiritual tea and fourth-grade spiritual spring water were being consumed too quickly.
The fourth-grade spiritual tea in his hand could not bear to be received several times, and he needed to consider where to get more fourth-grade spiritual tea.
He is drinking the fourth-grade spiritual tea now, which cannot improve his own strength, but the effect of the fourth-grade spiritual tea is invisible, and it is slowly improving from the spiritual level of his soul.
He has a feeling that drinking Sipin Ling Tea regularly will be beneficial to his promotion to the Nascent Soul stage.
In fact, it is not a secret in the Eastern Qi Continent that regular drinking of Fourth-grade Spiritual Tea is beneficial to advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, but what kind of golden elixir monks have such conditions? Fourth-grade Spiritual Tea can be drunk regularly.
"Master Li, I wonder if you still have a sect?" Master Jiang Hong drank all the spiritual tea in the cup, put the cup down and looked at Li Shiming and asked.
This question was so abrupt that Li Shiming didn't know how to answer it.
You should know that it is extremely disrespectful to ask a monk about his origin, especially when you know that the monk has hidden his previous identity.
"I didn't explore your past affairs, I just wanted to know if you belong to a certain sect?" Master Jiang Hong saw Li Shiming's misunderstanding and explained with a smile.
"No more!" Li Shiming replied with a wry smile and shook his head.
He thought of the Shushan Sect. The Shushan Sect wanted to capture him for the Dongtian inheritance. He and the Shushan Sect had severed all ties with each other. As for the Shushan Sect's cultivation of him, he had repaid him in his own way.
He believed that he was the right one to start the Shushan Sect. After he left the Shushan Sect, he had no intention of recognizing his status as a monk of the Shushan Sect.
The only person he felt sorry for was his master, Elder Su.
I think Elder Su will understand his choice. If he stays in the Shushan Sect, not to mention whether the Shushan Sect can protect him, even the Yuan Ying ancestor of the Shushan Sect will torture him to find out the Dongtian inheritance before deciding on him.
fate.
Who knows that the benefits of his Dongtian inheritance are greater than the benefits he brings as an alchemy master?
The world of cultivating immortals is a real world, and it cannot be said that the ancestor of Yuanying of the Shushan Sect did something wrong. The Shushan Sect has been inherited for more than ten thousand years and has long formed a set of principles for dealing with things that put the sect first.
But when this principle of doing things meets Li Shiming as an individual, Li Shiming does not want to sacrifice for the sake of the sect.
"Master Li, this matter is very important. Are you sure that you no longer have a sect and you are a true casual cultivator?" Master Jiang Hong asked in a more serious tone.
"Yes, I am a casual cultivator now!" Li Shiming nodded with certainty.
At this time, all the monks present understood that Li Shiming was indeed an alchemy master of a certain sect before, but for some unknown reason, he left the sect and the original continent and came to the Eastern Qi Continent.
"Master Li, on behalf of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, I extend an invitation to you, inviting you to join the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. I will be your recommender. What do you think?" Master Jiang Hong stood up and said in a deep voice.
Ancestor Zhang Kai was surprised. He did not expect that Master Jiang Hong would invite Li Shiming to join the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
A sect like the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect would rarely accept monks who were not trained by themselves, especially Li Shiming, who has reached the level of a great elder.
It is almost impossible for a great elder of Li Shiming's level to establish loyalty to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
The great elders all have strong independent opinions and it is difficult to make changes.
The Ten Thousand Beast Sect is not without its enemies. Whether they are enemies from this continent or enemies from other continents, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect's principle is to be extremely cautious in recruiting disciples to prevent the infiltration of foreign spies.
"Is there anything I need to pay attention to when joining the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect?" Li Shiming did not respond immediately. He needed to ask some things in advance.
"When joining the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, you just need to take the oath of admission!" Master Jiang Hong replied without thinking.
When he wanted to invite Li Shiming to join the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, he considered many things.
Li Shiming was a little surprised that it was so simple.
The oath taken to join the sect is two-way. In addition to the disciples being loyal to the sect, the sect must also protect the disciples.
In the past, when Li Shiming and his clone Li Yuanba joined Shushan Sect and Senluo Sect, they both swore an oath, but they were still able to betray the sect because the sect betrayed them first.
The sect betrayed their oath, so the oath naturally could not restrain Li Shiming and Li Yuanba.
Li Shiming joined the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. As long as the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect didn't betray him, he would not take the initiative to betray the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
"Wu Qingshan treats me well. If I join the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, I need to give Wu Qingshan some compensation!" Li Shiming thought for a while and said.
"You don't need to consider the compensation for Wu Qingshan. I will ask the sect to take more care of Wu Qingshan!" Master Jiang Hong said with a smile on his face and waved his hand.
From Li Shiming's words, he heard Li Shiming's intention to join the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
In addition, Li Shiming's emphasis on feelings also made him feel gratified. This kind of emotion is probably only found in young monks of this kind.
"Thank you!" Li Shiming said relieved.
Wu Qingshan gave him the opportunity and gave him a fourth-grade Fire Phoenix Cauldron to help him when he needed it most. He was the last person who wanted to owe a favor. With Master Jiang Hong, the favor could be repaid.
"Master Li, the last thing I want to do is ask Master Li to use all his strength to refine a furnace of elixir!" Master Jiang Hong looked at Li Shiming with a burning gaze and made his last request.
As he spoke, he took out a storage bag and placed it in front of Li Shiming. Li Shiming's spiritual mind entered the storage bag. Inside was a fourth-grade elixir, some second- and third-grade elixirs, and a prescription.
This elixir is a fourth-grade cultivation auxiliary elixir, the Great Sun Aiki Pill, which is considered to be a medium-difficulty elixir among the fourth-grade elixirs.
"Then please wait here for seven days!" Li Shiming said with a smile.
Since Master Jiang Hong made this request after the invitation, it means that regardless of Li Shiming's ability in alchemy, the invitation is certain.
However, the treatment after being invited to join depends on Li Shiming's alchemy level.
Li Shiming didn't have any objection to this. Isn't the level of an alchemy master judged by alchemy?
He has absolute confidence in this aspect. The only thing that needs to be considered is how much alchemy level he has to show.
