In the third year after entering the sect, the total amount of spiritual power in Li Shiming's body doubled. He has reached the fifth level of Qi refining and is a medium-level existence in the Qi refining stage.
And those third-grade metals have been completely absorbed by the body after half a year of practicing the 'Secret Book of Sword Demons'.
Of course, although the third-grade metal has been absorbed, it is still far away from the first stage of the 'Secret Book of Sword Demons', which is the strongest stage of the Qi refining period.
However, his cultivation speed reached 38.79. While the third-grade metal circulated in his body to strengthen his body, it also greatly increased the speed at which he could absorb spiritual power and transform it into spiritual power.
His cultivation speed is no longer weaker than ordinary dual spiritual roots, which is why he was able to advance to the fifth level of Qi Refining in half a year.
The 'Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill' has been raised to the limit of its current state. He feels that with his body alone, he can compare with the bronze corpse at the seventh level of Qi refining.
His body's defense is difficult to break through with medium-grade attack weapons.
In terms of offense, the first is the Bronze Corpse. In addition to the attack power of the six mid-grade Gatling weapons, the Bronze Corpse itself has also raised its level to the peak of the Bronze Corpse.
The bronze corpse is at the ninth level of Qi refining, which is mainly due to the ghost environment formed by the 'Netherworld Ghost World Array'.
Even though the bronze corpse had two more heads and four arms, it did not affect its improvement speed too much. The 'Netherworld Ghost Realm' made of third-grade spiritual objects gave the bronze corpse too many benefits.
In fact, in terms of the 'Sword Control Technique', a high-grade metallic sword called the 'Broken Jade Sword' was replaced. The quality of the 'Broken Jade Sword' is definitely the best among high-grade magical weapons.
With even a little more improvement, this 'Broken Jade Sword' can become a super-grade magic weapon.
With the 'Broken Jade Sword', coupled with the past half year of practicing the 'Sword Controlling Art', my understanding of the 'Sword Controlling Art' has deepened, making the power of the 'Sword Controlling Art' greatly increased.
Of course, super-grade magic weapons are extremely rare in the Qi Refining Stage. The main reason is that the spiritual power required to drive super-grade magic weapons is too much. Unless the monks in the Qi Refining Stage have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, it will be difficult to control them.
As for the monks at the ninth level of Qi Refining, they are usually either desperately doing tasks, obtaining good deeds or spiritual stones in the most dangerous places in order to exchange for foundation-building pills, or they are in retreat preparing to force a breakthrough.
Anyway, during the three years that Li Shiming has been in the sect, he has rarely seen monks at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Li Shiming's spiritual sense has also been strengthened. After his spiritual sense jade sword was upgraded to the fourth level of Qi Refining, the distance and power have been greatly improved.
The main spirit of the 'Spirit Controlling and Soul Dividing Technique' has devoured a large number of souls half a year ago and has transformed into a complete soul body. If it were not in an illusory state, it would be almost the same as a real person.
The key is that he has truly mastered the 'Spirit Controlling and Soul Dividing Technique', which is something he never thought of.
From then on, the main spirit no longer needs to devour the soul. Every time the soul is separated, it only needs to absorb the energy between heaven and earth to recover on its own.
In just half a year, his strength has improved greatly.
In terms of resources, in the previous transaction with Yun's Trading Company, he used a large amount of spiritual stones to purchase various goods and formation knowledge, but he still had 190,000 spiritual stones left.
This is a situation where he has increased his consumption, and the benefits brought by the small "mutual view from a thousand miles" are extremely considerable.
In addition, he did not sell the corpses of more than 10,000 sea beasts through Yun's Trading Company. Instead, he used various identities to sell these sea beasts within half a year.
These more than 10,000 sea beast carcasses are the real profit source, with a total profit of 2.4 million spirit stones.
When he inquired about the value of the sea beast's carcass, he knew that Yun's Trading Company should not be overly trusted with such benefits.
Facts have proved that his caution was correct.
Li Shiming, of course, knew what Yun's Trading Company was thinking. Yun's Trading Company had used "Thousands of Miles of Mutual Viewing" to gain a leading position in business, but it didn't pay much attention to Li Shiming, the creator of "Thousands of Miles of Mutual Viewing".
The key is that Li Shiming's strength is too weak, and his status as a junior formation master has also increased with the power of Yun's Trading Company, so some people don't take him seriously.
Only when we are of similar strength can we have fair cooperation.
Of course, Yun's Trading Firm did not target him so blatantly, but there were some small moves in the trading firm's transactions. They knew that Li Shiming had a huge sum of nearly 200,000 spiritual stones in his hands.
This kind of monk has a huge amount of money but does not have the corresponding strength. If you don't kill him, who will you kill?
In the underground space, not much equipment was added in the past six months. He spent a lot of energy on cultivation and did not do much on the reproduction of technology.
The reason for this was Yun's Trading Company. Ordering supplies was becoming more and more troublesome, which made him a little impatient.
He needed a new amulet to protect himself from the backlash from Yun's Trading Company, so he decided to complete the intermediate array master assessment that Yin Shilan had mentioned many times.
Within the sect, the intermediate formation masters are already the backbone of the formation masters, and Xiang Yin Shilan is the intermediate formation master.
Even if Yin Shilan is not related to his father, his status in the sect is not low.
In addition, Li Shiming also needs a new business partner to order large quantities of supplies.
Li Shiming took out a new model of ‘Thousand Miles of Mutual Vision’ from the machine, which he named ‘Thousand Miles of Mutual Vision Second Generation’.
He put the 'Thousand Miles of Mutual Viewing II' into his storage bag, turned around and left Eagle Beak Island, flapped his wings behind his back and flew towards the Nine Peaks.
His first goal was Duifeng. Before leaving, he sent an application for the intermediate formation master examination to Lingji Pavilion.
Entering Lingji Pavilion, he saw two Foundation Establishment Master Uncles, including Master Zhuge whom he knew, and five monks who were in the late stage of Qi Refining.
Those who can be in Lingji Pavilion are naturally formation mages.
"I've met my two uncles, I've met all your senior brothers!" Li Shiming stepped forward and bowed.
"Finally come here for certification?" Uncle Zhuge asked with a smile.
There was something in his words that made Li Shiming wonder if Yin Shilan had revealed some news to Master Zhuge.
In addition, certification and assessment are different. The assessment is to answer the questions given by the sect. Passing is considered only after passing the results.
Certification is a formality and does not require an exam.
In fact, there are two foundation-building monks here who are also senior formation masters because they learned from Yin Shilan that Li Shiming had condensed the formation Star Light Sea.
This is a real seedling of a high-level formation master. As long as Li Shiming is given enough time to grow, he will become a high-level formation master.
The intermediate formation master qualification obtained through the assessment is only needed by the formation master who does not have the formation star light sea. For the formation master who has the formation star light sea, the assessment has no meaning at all.
"Uncle Zhuge, I'm here for an assessment!" Li Shiming explained softly.
"Show the Sea of Stars. Senior Brother Chang is very busy with affairs, so he still found time to come here!" Senior Uncle Zhuge waved his hand and said without giving Li Shiming a chance to explain.
Yes, Li Shiming knew that Yin Shilan had revealed the matter of her condensing the formation of the Star Light Sea, and he did not blame Yin Shilan.
Yin Shilan asked him to apply for an intermediate formation master more than once, just thinking that he could complete tasks with Yin Shilan.
In addition, Duifeng's uncles were informed about the formation of the Starlight Sea, and there were only advantages and no disadvantages, so Duifeng stepped up his protection of Li Shiming.
Li Shiming's mind merged into the sea of stars in his brain, and then a bright starlight appeared above his head.
The two uncles and five senior brothers present did not make a sound, quietly admiring the bright starlight of the formation.
Each formation master's Starlight Sea is different, which is related to the formation knowledge system he has learned, and also to his own understanding of the formation.
The five senior brothers are less knowledgeable. They are all intermediate formation masters of the sect. They are the kind of intermediate formation masters who have passed the examination and have not formed the formation starlight sea.
Their biggest goal is to one day condense the formation starlight sea and have the opportunity to become a high-level formation master.
It is extremely difficult to condense the formation starlight sea. It is not only enough to reach the total amount of formation knowledge, but also requires sufficient understanding.
Almost every formation master who possesses the Formation Starlight Sea has experienced the process of enlightenment. The epiphany allowed them to gain a deeper understanding of the formation knowledge, thus transforming into the Formation Starlight Sea.
The five senior brothers were called here by the two uncles, just to have a chance to watch the formation star light sea, gain some experience, and increase the chance of forming the formation star light sea.
Appreciation flashed across the eyes of the two master uncles. In the sea of stars in Li Shiming's formation, every starlight was extremely bright. This was a sign of a deep understanding of formation knowledge.
It is a very rare talent to have this kind of performance for the starry sea of formations that has just been condensed.
"Li Shiming, Senior Brother Chang and I jointly certify you as an intermediate formation master!" Senior Uncle Zhuge stood up solemnly, came to Li Shiming and announced.
Li Shiming took out the identity jade disk, and Uncle Zhuge updated the information on the identity jade disk.
"Li Shiming, there are very few sect formations in your formation system. You will need to increase your accumulation of sect formation knowledge in the future. In this regard, the sect's intermediate formation knowledge will be open to you, and you no longer need to exchange good deeds.
!" Uncle Chang also stood up, nodded and said.
Li Shiming was very happy, how much good deeds he had saved.
He has a lot of spiritual stones, but good deeds are really rare. He can only get dozens or hundreds of good deeds for completing one mission. The tasks he accepts have too many conditions, and they don't happen often.
The knowledge of a low-level formation requires more than a hundred good deeds. With the vast amount of knowledge required by the formation master, no amount of good deeds is enough.
"Thank you, Uncle Master!" Li Shiming bowed and thanked.
"The sect gives the intermediate formation masters the best treatment, two thousand spirit stones per month, and formation materials worth the same two thousand spirit stones, but it also needs intermediate formation masters to serve the sect. You can no longer do what you did before.
Just do what you want!" Uncle Zhuge did not forget to remind him.
Li Shiming's face collapsed. He had too many practice projects, which took up a lot of his time.
Coupled with some research work, no matter how streamlined it is, the time every day is still very tight.
"It's not like I'm tying you down to do things. The sect's formation needs to be maintained and the nodes in the sea area need to be inspected. You can't let me do these tasks. All the intermediate formation mages in the sect must take over this job!" Zhuge
Uncle Master was a little dissatisfied with Li Shiming's attitude and said angrily.
"Listen to Uncle Master. If you have any tasks, just hand them over and I will definitely complete them!" Li Shiming knew he couldn't push it away, so he nodded in agreement.
He is very interested in the maintenance of the sect's formation.
Although he had studied the sect's formation, those studies only scratched the surface, and he was not qualified to see the real core before.
Now that he can come into contact with the main body of the sect formation, this will bring him a lot of new knowledge.
He is different from ordinary mid-level formation masters in the Qi refining stage. He has a spiritual mind and an IBMz15. The formations that he has sensed through his spiritual mind can almost perfectly copy its design.
Uncle Zhuge shook his head. If it weren't for the fact that there were too few senior formation masters in the sect, Li Shiming would have given up with such an attitude.
Li Shiming thought that this kind of training was appropriate, but in fact it was someone who had guaranteed it, and in addition, he was indeed a disciple of the Tianhai Sect with good roots and Miaohong.
He was born in Daxia, which was within the control area of Tianhai Sect, and he officially joined the sect through the Immortal Ascension Conference.
Although he started practicing before entering the sect, these things have been investigated and he has never even been in contact with casual cultivators. It was entirely a personal chance.
This kind of personal opportunity is the most important thing for a monk, because every monk in the foundation-building stage has his own opportunity, otherwise it will be difficult to become a foundation-building monk.
"Also, you have the authority to call some functions of the sect's formation. Don't use this authority indiscriminately!" Uncle Zhuge gave one final explanation, and then waved to him to indicate that he could leave.
Li Shiming bowed and exited the Lingji Pavilion. As soon as he exited the Lingji Pavilion, he couldn't wait to take out his identity jade disk and check out some of the functions that could be used to activate the sect's formation.
Within Jiufeng's sect formation, his authority has not changed much. It is just that one more person can obtain temporary formation authority after receiving maintenance tasks and can enter the corresponding formation.
But within a thousand miles outside the sect's formation, his authority is very useful.
There are hundreds of nodes distributed outside the Zongmen's formation. The existence of these nodes is the basis for the Zongmen's formation to control a thousand-mile range.
When necessary, he can mobilize nodes to provide protection for himself. The nodes usually store a large amount of energy. When a foreign enemy invades, each node can be turned into a strong fortress to resist and slow down the enemy's advance.
In normal times, the formation supported by the node's energy can completely withstand Li Shiming's short-term attacks from the foundation-building monks, giving the sect time to rescue him.
This shows how much the sect attaches great importance to Li Shiming after he reaches the intermediate level of formation master.
Not to mention, there are two thousand spiritual stones and formation resources equivalent to two thousand spiritual stones available every month, and there is also free formation knowledge learning. All of this is in the hope that he can grow up.
The sect's concept of training array masters is different from that of monks. If the monks do not reach the foundation building stage, the sect will not pay more attention to them.
But even if Li Shiming's strength is only in the Qi refining stage, as long as he becomes a senior formation master, he can serve the sect for more than a hundred years, giving the sect time to wait for a new senior formation master to appear.
