Li Shiming stayed at Wei's residence for another twenty days. He ended the retreat only after the spiritual energy in his body was enough to activate the complete Nine Palaces Sword Formation.
During this period, he made a decision that set the future path for Li Yuanba.
Yes, he needs to be separated from Li Yuanba. He has experimented and found that no matter how far away the body is from Li Yuanba, it will not affect the connection between the two souls. They can exchange ideas anytime and anywhere.
This also put an end to the incident where the clones turned back to bite their masters as he had seen in some classics.
Really, he and Li Yuanba are a whole, even if they are separated, they are still the same.
Li Yuanba had no background, and he did not prepare to forge a background for Li Yuanba. Perhaps for small forces or small sects, forging a background would be of some use.
But for large sects, they simply cannot withstand investigation.
So he decided to use the Senluo Order to let Li Yuanba join the Senluo Sect. Perhaps for a monk like Li Yuanba who has no family background, this path is the only chance to join a large sect.
In addition, although Senluo Sect is a demon sect, it is still a large sect and is planning to unify the vast area of Shiwanda Mountain.
Li Yuanba has his own major skills and does not need to practice the magic skills. Li Shiming mainly focuses on the resources of Senluo Sect. Joining Senluo Sect will give him more ways to obtain resources.
There is no way around this, and the main body must now consider the materials for the third-grade and five-element formations.
Besides, if Li Yuanba wants to improve quickly, he will need a lot of resources.
You can't rely entirely on Li Shiming to obtain it by himself, as that will affect the speed of the body's cultivation. The body's cultivation is already slow, so there really can't be any delay.
After making such a decision, he needs to separate the family.
He took out a fifty-cubic storage bag and the storage bracelet that originally belonged to Li Yuanba and gave it to Li Yuanba. The storage bag was just for show, and the storage bracelet was a bit eye-catching, but the internal space was large enough so that it would not be used secretly.
has a problem.
In addition, he divided one million spirit stones and gave all the remaining thirty-six formation flags to Li Yuanba.
It's not that he is stingy, but these thirty-six formation flags are his last remaining goods. The formation flags originally arranged in Wei's station have all lost their spirituality. These thirty-six formation flags were made recently.
from.
Due to the shortage of formation materials, he did not have any more formation materials to make formation flags.
As for Li Yuanba not being a formation master, what does it matter? As long as there is a soul connection, Li Yuanba can use Li Shiming's advanced formation master ability to use formation flags to arrange formations at any time.
Li Shiming also gave the jade flying boat to Li Yuanba. He had no shortage of flying boats. The enemies who fought against him on Tianhai Island were either sect elites or monks related to Jindan, so from time to time the spoils included
You will find the flying boat.
When preparing to leave, he used the few remaining formation materials to seal the cave, especially the high-grade spiritual veins, which were completely sealed by him.
Regardless of whether Wei's residence will be occupied by others, without spiritual veins, this place can no longer become a monk's residence.
For such a long time, the Wei family's foundation-building monks have not returned, and they all have died. There is a high possibility that the high-grade spiritual veins here will not be discovered.
This is his escape route, and it will become his hiding place if he encounters serious life or death troubles.
Li Shiming and Li Yuanba left Wei's residence through a secret passage and came out of the river bottom outside the valley.
He took out a flying boat and the two of them sat on the deck. During the foundation building period, they no longer had to be as cautious as mice.
From the classics in Wei's library, he also learned some information about Shiwandashan.
To say that the number of monks in Beishu is definitely countless times more than that of Tianhai Island, especially the number of monks in the foundation building period is much higher.
The main reason is the abundance of resources for cultivating immortals. Except for the seven major sects on Tianhai Island, it is difficult for the other monks to obtain enough resources. Strategic pills such as the Foundation Establishment Pill are controlled by the seven major sects.
But Beishu is different. Due to the rich resources for cultivating immortals, anyone with spiritual roots has the opportunity to cultivate immortals.
Even if you have five spiritual roots, as long as you are willing to pay, you can be cultivated by small forces, let alone four spiritual roots.
With the supply of a large amount of resources and the help of more complete immortal cultivation techniques, the Five Spiritual Roots can continuously improve their realm.
Especially the Foundation Establishment Pill, there are many ways to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill in Northern Shu.
You can obtain foundation-building pills by purchasing them directly with spirit stones, participating in some competitions with rewards, or joining a certain force.
Foundation-Building Pills are not a monopoly in Northern Shu. Many forces have the ability to produce Foundation-Building Pills on their own, and even use Foundation-Building Pills to earn profits.
The seven foundation-building pills in Li Shiming's hands had lost most of their value when they arrived in Beishu, but he has no use for them now.
The more Foundation Establishment Pills are produced, the more Foundation Establishment Monks are naturally produced.
This is the situation in the world of cultivating immortals at the bottom, and Jindan monks are still rare. Of course, this scarcity is relative to the continent of Beishu, and in terms of quantity, it is definitely incomparable to Tianhai Island.
Just look at the Mingxin Sect in the Shiwan Mountains of Beishu. There are nearly twenty golden elixirs in one sect. With the addition of a fake infant monk, they can almost crush the seven major sects in Tianhai Island.
The flying boat flew at low altitude for several hours, and Li Shiming saw many battles along the way.
There are battles between Qi Refining monks, battles between Foundation-building monks, and even battles involving dozens of monks.
"What a mess!" Li Shiming shook his head and sighed.
"As long as it has nothing to do with us!" Li Yuanba also shook his head and said.
They did not hide the aura of the Foundation Establishment Stage on their bodies, so no unsighted monks took the initiative to find them.
After Li Yuanba finished speaking, he closed his eyes again and began to comprehend the meaning of the sword.
Li Shiming also discovered that by passing the sword intention he sensed from the sword bones to Li Yuanba, and then reorganizing it using the 'Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique', the sword intention obtained was more in line with their own.
After all, the ‘Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique’ is the main skill of sword cultivation, and its core is sword intention.
The sword intent he sensed from Jian Fan was just the sword intent that Jindan Sword Xiu Yun Xingyi sensed. The most he could do was simulate it through the sword intent of the sword bone.
But after Li Yuanba's new understanding, his sword intention became Li Yuanba's own sword intention.
And he and Li Yuanba are one, and he can also use the sword intention that Li Yuanba sensed.
Although this process was a bit complicated, he clearly felt that the power of the sword had improved.
"We're in trouble!" There was a chase in front of the flying boat, with a female cultivator in front and five monks chasing behind.
The female cultivator is in the Foundation Establishment stage and uses Sword Escape, which is very fast, but the five cultivators following her are also in the Foundation Establishment stage. The flying boat they are riding is somewhat special, and the speed can actually keep up with the speed of Sword Escape.
Li Shiming didn't hesitate at all. He immediately turned the flying boat in a direction to get away.
He had no interest in getting involved in this kind of trouble, but he didn't want to find trouble, but trouble found him.
After the female cultivator discovered Li Shiming and Li Yuanba, she immediately fled this way.
"Two fellow Taoists, this treasure is given to you!" The female cultivator was very fast and surpassed Li Shiming's flying boat. When she came closer, she raised her hand and a box flew up, and she was heard saying loudly.
Li Shiming frowned, why didn't he understand that this female cultivator wanted to divert trouble away from others.
It was even hard to say whether there was a treasure in the box, but he just wanted him to block the pursuers behind, giving the female cultivator a chance to escape.
He waved his hand and sent out a burst of spiritual power, blocking the box back.
"What you are waiting for has nothing to do with us. If you get closer, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Li Shiming sternly scolded.
His spiritual energy surged, his eyes faintly flashed with thunder, and his aura exuded terrifying coercion.
Although he has just been promoted to the foundation building stage, don't forget that his spiritual power is extremely condensed. Regardless of the total amount of spiritual power, it is qualitatively equivalent to a peak monk in the early stage of foundation building who has been practicing for many years.
The foundation building period is not the Qi refining period, where one can improve one's realm so easily.
The vast majority of monks who can achieve the golden elixir spend most of their lives in the foundation building stage, and the practice in the foundation building stage is extremely slow.
Without decades of accumulation and enough luck, it is difficult to advance even a small level.
This makes the monks in the early stage of foundation building have a big gap in strength.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Yi has found a helper!" During this delay, the flying boat that was chasing behind him had already arrived, and a loud voice came.
Li Shiming looked at the flying boat. The person speaking was a young man with an eagle nose and fine features. He was in the early stages of foundation building, but judging from his speaking posture and standing position, he should be the leader among the five foundation building monks.
What attracted his most attention was the old monk standing behind the young man. He was a monk in the middle stage of foundation building and was the strongest among the five monks.
"Fellow Taoist, your affairs have nothing to do with me. We have something to do, so I won't accompany you!" Li Shiming said, cupping his fists.
"The things have been given to you, but you can't keep your word!" the female cultivator said sharply. Her eyes did not look at Li Shiming, but kept looking at Li Yuanba who was silent.
Li Yuanba really attracted the attention of all the monks. His face was so perfect that it made men jealous and women crazy. It had affected the minds of the monks many times in battles.
When Li Shiming saw that the female cultivator was still trying to drag him into trouble, and that the young man's eyes showed murderous intent, he couldn't help but secretly lament the trouble.
"Fellow Taoist, it seems we are going to have another battle!" Li Shiming turned to Li Yuanba and said helplessly.
Li Yuanba's body was instantly filled with sword intent, and the golden light sword flashed out, turning into a sword light and hitting the female cultivator directly.
A shield appeared in front of the female cultivator. What surprised Li Shiming was that the shield was a spiritual weapon.
It's not that Li Shiming has never seen the world, but it's extremely rare for the foundation-building monks of Beishu that he has encountered before to use spiritual weapons.
That is to say, the old monk of the Wei family has two spiritual weapons in his hands, and the other several foundation-building monks use super-grade magic weapons.
However, it is not easy for a spiritual shield to block the attacks of sword cultivators of the same level, especially under Li Yuanba's surprise attack.
"You are a sword cultivator!" The female cultivator's expression changed and she exclaimed.
The golden light sword of the wind pierced the female cultivator's spiritual weapon shield, and she immediately felt that her control over the spiritual weapon shield was declining. If it happened a few more times, she would completely lose control of the spiritual weapon shield.
Li Shiming also moved his hand, and the nine flying swords of the Nine Palace Sword Formation flew out, centering on himself, surrounding the female cultivator and the five foundation-building cultivators.
Nine flying swords were suspended in the air, and the electric light flashed between the flying swords, connecting the nine flying swords together to form a formation.
This is the Thunder Formation that he researched based on the Zhenfeng's grand formation nodes, and is arranged in the form of nine palaces.
The biggest function of the thunder array is to trigger the power of thunder and lightning. As the nine flying swords formed the thunder array, more and more thunder and lightning occurred in the array.
"We are monks from Baoze Mountain. Fellow Taoist, you'd better retreat now, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" At this time, the old man in the middle stage of foundation building behind the young man said.
He looked solemnly at the formations surrounding him, the thunderous aura on Li Shiming's body, and Li Yuanba's status as a swordsman.
Among the legal cultivators, Lei Xiu was extremely rare in terms of inheritance alone, and he was also an array mage. The sword cultivator was also known as a fighting madman, and he did not want to fight such an enemy.
"I had no intention of participating, but it's too late now!" Li Shiming glanced at the young man's murderous eyes and replied.
The young man opposite him could tell at a glance that he was the kind of monk who had a backer and had been sought after for a long time. He had long developed an arrogant character.
In addition, Li Yuanba's appearance made the young man extremely unhappy, so he showed murderous intent at the slightest disagreement.
Li Shiming understands this type of monks. If he really retreats, maybe after the five foundation-building monks deal with the female cultivator, the next target will be to hunt him down.
Maybe the five foundation-building monks can't defeat him, but the forces behind him are definitely a big trouble.
Listening to the name given by the old man in the middle stage of foundation building, I thought that this Baoze Mountain might not be a simple force.
So Li Shiming decided to solve the problem once and for all.
"Protect the young master and kill him!" The old monk in the middle stage of foundation building glanced at his young master helplessly, knowing that there was nothing he could do for good, and time did not allow him to think any more, so he shouted loudly.
At this time, the thunder formation has taken shape, with countless thunder snakes flying in the formation.
Not only did it block the escape route of the female cultivator and the five foundation-building cultivators, it also affected their line of sight.
The female cultivator was entangled by Li Yuanba's sword light and could not retreat even if she wanted to. The sword intent contained in the sword light made the female cultivator turn pale with every blow, as if it was a blow to her spirit.
The sword light was too fast, and it was still increasing in speed.
Li Shiming's learning ability is extremely strong. He quickly learned and mastered the sword control method in the "Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique" through IBMz15. His learning and mastering is equivalent to Li Yuanba's learning and mastering.
However, there is still a gap from learning and mastering to actual combat. It was the first time that Li Yuanba used the fighting method of sword cultivator to fight against monks of the same level. He was quickly digesting and absorbing the sword control techniques he had learned and mastered.
