"Elder Su, I have practiced the body-training technique of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect's 'Vajra Body Protection Magic' and an unexpectedly obtained 'Secret Book of Sword Demons', and my main training technique is the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Technique'!"
Li Shiming answered without any concealment.
He is not a fool. Judging from Elder Su's attitude and questioning, Elder Su is investigating him and is preparing to accept him as a registered disciple.
He has always been groping alone in his cultivation. Since he wants to recognize Elder Su as his master, even if he becomes a registered disciple, he still needs to let his master know the techniques he practices. This is the most basic thing.
"Vajra Body Protection Magic!" Elder Su flicked his fingers on Li Shiming's skin. This finger did not use spiritual power, but the power was not small at all.
Even if Elder Jindan does not practice body-refining techniques, his body has been transformed by heaven and earth far beyond that of any body-refining monk in the foundation building period.
"It seems that you are very talented in body refining. Not long after you established the Foundation, you have mastered the 'Diamond Body Protection Magic Art' of the Foundation Establishment Stage to the point where you are close to mastery!" Elder Su smiled, and then he thought about it and asked again: "
Then the 'Secret Code of Sword Demon' also has jade slips?"
When you ask this question, you definitely regard Li Shiming as one of your own. As a Jindan elder of Shushan Sect, he can access even the most precious body training techniques.
Li Shiming also understood this, so he took out the jade slip of the 'Secret Book of Sword Demons' and handed it over.
Elder Su took the 'Secret Book of Sword Demon' without any courtesy and started to check it. The room was quiet for as long as a stick of incense.
"What a sword demon? He's just an obsessive sword cultivator. However, this body-refining technique is quite interesting, and you had a chance to get a third-grade metal during the Qi-refining period." Elder Su smiled and shook his head as he commented.
.
"Elder Su, I wonder if there is any problem with the Sword Demon Secret Book?" Li Shiming was shocked. He would not think that Elder Su was lying. Elder Su's status was extremely high in the Northern Shu continent.
"This sword demon probably got an ancient body-refining technique from somewhere, and added some concepts of sword cultivator to practice it. There is no trouble in cultivating to the golden elixir stage, and there is one more magic weapon that can be improved, which is good
The body-refining technique, but unfortunately after reaching the golden elixir, the effect of this technique can only be used by the flying sword magic weapon!" Elder Su explained to him carefully.
When you advance to the Golden Core during the foundation building period, you will experience a physical transformation by the power of heaven and earth. After this transformation, the Golden Core monk's body will be greatly improved.
The 'Secret Book of the Sword Demon' uses third-grade metal as the basis to improve the physique of monks. It is of great help during the Qi Refining and Foundation-building stages, but in the Golden Elixir stage, the improvement effect of third-grade metal is almost gone.
Li Shiming doesn't care that the 'Secret Code of Sword Demon' has no effect in the golden elixir stage. It would be nice to have another flying sword magic weapon that can be upgraded.
"I remember that the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Technique' is the inheritance of Mingxin Sect. Did you get the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Technique' from Mingxin Sect?" Elder Su asked next.
"Elder Su knows everything!" Li Shiming nodded and said.
Elder Su just smiled at Li Shiming's little flattery, and he became more interested in Li Shiming.
It can be said that Li Shiming's talent is very poor, and there is little hope of being promoted to the Golden Elixir through the Three Spiritual Roots. However, Li Shiming's good fortune is really too deep.
Let’s look at Li Shiming’s exercises. It’s okay to say that the ‘Vajra Body Protection Magic Technique’ exists within the Shushan Sect, but it’s obvious that Li Shiming’s ‘Vajra Body Protection Magic Technique’ is a genuine one and is different from the leaked version.
The third-grade metal required for the 'Secret Book of Sword Demons' is theoretically impossible for Li Shiming to come into contact with.
Even if Li Shiming has a quasi-Taishan in the Golden Core stage, which Golden Core monk would hand over a third-grade metal that is extremely precious and important to him to a Qi Refining stage monk.
This is a huge waste of resources and will also put Li Shiming in extreme danger.
You must know that even though the third-grade metal is fused into the body, the Golden elixir monk has no means to extract it. This extraction method will definitely kill Li Shiming.
There is only one possibility, that is, Li Shiming himself had a great opportunity and obtained enough third-grade metal for cultivation.
Let’s talk about the ‘Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Technique’, which is one of the most core inheritances of Mingxin Sect. It is said that only a few core golden elixir elders in the sect can access it.
An inheritance like the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Technique', let alone Li Shiming, is also an extremely precious inheritance if it is placed in the Shushan Sect. Anyway, if you want to practice it, you need to pass the assessment before you can access it.
The most important thing is that top-level skills such as the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Technique' require corresponding talents to be practiced.
Li Shiming has the talent of Lei Xiu and has obtained the suitable "Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Technique". This is a chance.
There is a saying in the world of immortality that opportunity is more important than talent.
This is the experience gained by countless monks with blood and tears. Some monks have practiced hard for countless years and experienced life and death to obtain the elixir and seek breakthroughs.
But some monks, sitting on the top of the mountain watching the scenery, had elixirs fall from the sky, and then easily succeeded in breaking through.
This is a monk who has a chance, just like the darling of heaven and earth.
"Li Shiming, are you willing to become my disciple?" Elder Su stood up straight and asked Li Shiming solemnly.
"Elder Su, my disciple is willing!" Li Shiming was startled for a moment, then he immediately realized what he was doing and quickly fell to the ground and responded loudly.
"Then why are you called elder?" Elder Su showed a satisfied smile on his face, but said lightly.
"Master!" Li Shiming changed his name and called him again.
"You start as an inner disciple first, and then you can compete for true disciples after you practice well!" Elder Su helped Li Shiming up and said.
Only then did Li Shiming understand clearly that Elder Su accepted him as a disciple, not a registered disciple, which made him eligible to compete for the status of a true disciple.
Although there is a slight difference in names between disciples and registered disciples, their statuses are completely different.
Being a named disciple is just an honor. Under the strict master-disciple relationship in the world of immortality, registered disciples cannot enjoy the careful teachings of their masters, and even have very few opportunities to see their masters.
Disciples will receive careful instruction from the master, who will provide the best in terms of resources, magical tools, exercises, etc.
The disciple is also the external identity representative of the master, and the relationship between the two parties is one of mutual prosperity and mutual loss.
"You have three senior brothers and one senior sister. They are all outside at the moment. You need some preparations for your apprenticeship. I will hold a apprenticeship ceremony and invite a few friends to witness it!" Elder Su said with a smile.
After recovering from his injuries, he received Li Shiming, a disciple with profound blessings. He felt as if he had been affected by Li Shiming's blessings, so he was particularly happy.
In addition, this apprenticeship ceremony was not just for Li Shiming, but also for monks inside and outside the sect to see his state.
Li Shiming returned to his previous cave, and he could still live here for a few days before officially becoming a disciple.
As Elder Su recovered, a series of previously unhandled incidents within the Shushan Sect began to unfold. Many monks related to Elder Ji and his family, including the law enforcement team, were eliminated.
Participating in the murder of Elder Jindan of the Shushan Sect, this crime alone is enough for the monks involved to be labeled as traitors to the sect.
In the sect, betraying the sect is a serious crime and is punishable by death.
All this has nothing to do with Li Shiming. He stays in the cave every day and practices the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Technique'.
Only after talking with his master, Elder Su, did he understand how high the level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Technique was, and that it was the topmost among the major cultivation techniques.
Although the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Technique' is very comprehensive, Shushan Sect does not have the golden elixir resources in this area, so Elder Su hopes that he will consider changing cultivation.
Now that Li Shiming is in the early stages of foundation building, the cost of switching to another level is not high.
Of course, Elder Su did not force Li Shiming to choose, but informed him of the stakes involved.
If Li Shiming wants to change to a major skill, Elder Su can use his contribution points to change him to a major inheritance skill of the same level as the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Technique'.
Elder Su was able to make such a decision because the Muyang Clover brought by Li Shiming was a third-grade elixir and its value was too great.
With Elder Su's status in the sect, he does not need to contribute points to learn a major inheritance technique by himself, but to apply for a disciple, he does need to contribute points.
You must know that this kind of top-level major inheritance technique, normal sect monks are not eligible to redeem it even if they have contribution points. This is the core technique of the sect. With the comments of countless senior monks of the sect, it will be much more difficult to practice.
reduce.
Li Shiming was a little hesitant. He knew the importance of inheriting the technique, but he felt that it was extremely consistent with the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Technique'. This fit was a feeling.
He didn't know if he would still have this sense of compatibility if he changed his major in martial arts.
Besides, even if he were to switch to a different sect to major in inherited skills at this time, it would only be a foundation-building chapter, and there would be no subsequent content, and it would not be the entire book.
Only when he is promoted to the Golden Elixir can he apply to the sect for the subsequent Golden Elixir chapter.
This feeling of not being able to master the exercises he practiced made Li Shiming feel very unsure.
Fortunately, he still has time and can think about it slowly.
Li Shiming was indeed lucky. It was also because the Mingxin Sect as a whole evacuated the Shiwan Mountain in Beishu that Jindan Sword Xiu Yunxingyi was able to carry all the top skills with him, thus benefiting Li Shiming a lot.
Ten days later, Li Shiming, who was practicing, sensed a message from a monk outside the cave. He opened the cave and couldn't help but look surprised when he saw the visitor.
"Brother Xu!" Although Li Shiming had already learned from Elder Su that Xu Chuan was still alive, he was still overjoyed when he saw Xu Chuan actually appearing in front of him.
"Brother Li, I shouldn't call you Junior Brother Li anymore. Thank you, Senior Brother!" Xu Chuan bowed and saluted Li Shiming solemnly.
That day, he was chased by a four-clawed dragon demon. He escaped with his life-saving object, but was seriously injured.
After that, he rested in an underground cave for more than two months before he finally regained some strength. He couldn't wait to recover and hurried to the meeting place.
Xu Chuan even thought that Li Shiming would not be waiting there and would most likely leave first.
This is also normal. Li Shiming just gave him a promise and did not need to risk death for his mission.
But what Xu Chuan didn't expect was that when he arrived at the rendezvous point, he saw that the target area was in a mess. Even after a long time, traces of the battle still remained there.
Almost no trees were standing, most of the vegetation was burned by the spiritual fire, and even the rocks on the mountain were not spared.
It can be seen that the battle was brutal, and the strength of the spiritual beasts guarding Muyang Clover can be judged from the traces of the battle, which definitely exceeded the foundation building stage.
In other words, Li Shiming fought a golden elixir demon for this promise to him.
He didn't know whether Li Shiming had successfully obtained the Muyang clover, but he didn't have the energy to look for other places.
The injuries he suffered cannot be recovered in a short time. Without sufficient combat power, it would be difficult for him to survive in Shiwan Mountain.
Xu Chuan did not stay any longer and waited until he returned to Shushan Sect. He hoped that his senior brothers and sisters would gain something.
When he returned to the sect, he saw Elder Su who had recovered, and also heard that Elder Su was planning to accept Li Shiming as his disciple.
Regardless of his fatigue, he immediately came to see Li Shiming. He needed to express his gratitude to Li Shiming in person.
"Senior Brother Xu, you are too polite, there is no need for this between us!" Li Shiming said with a smile, helping Xu Chuan up.
He and Xu Chuan are now senior brothers, which is equivalent to real brothers in the world of immortality.
"Yes, there is no need to say thank you for our relationship!" Xu Chuan also laughed.
The two of them entered the cave while chatting and joking. Li Shiming thought that the Jindan Cave was extremely luxurious, but he did not see any envy in Xu Chuan's eyes.
It seems that this Jindan Cave is nothing ordinary, which makes Li Shiming very curious, what does Xu Chuan's cave look like?
"Senior Brother Xu, this cave is my temporary residence. I don't know what the cave will be like after entering. Can I choose it by myself?" Li Shiming asked without understanding.
"Haha, there is no choice. You will know when the time comes!" Xu Chuan smiled and did not answer directly.
Xu Chuan remembered his gaffe when he got his own cave after entering the cave. How could he tell Li Shiming the information in advance? He also wanted to see Li Shiming's gaffe.
"Junior brother, what kind of spirit beast is that guarding the Muyang clover?" Xu Chuan returned the topic to the matter of seizing the elixir. He was extremely curious about how Li Shiming obtained the elixir from such a powerful spirit beast.
"I don't know much about spiritual beasts. It's a giant bear, good at using fire!" Li Shiming used his spiritual power to draw the appearance of the giant bear in the void and said.
"The Great Red Sun Bear Demon!" Xu Chuan was so shocked that he almost jumped up. The Red Sun Bear Great Demon is a top-notch existence even among the third-grade spiritual beasts in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
"It's not a big demon. It's still a little short of a big demon. It can be regarded as a half-step big demon. If it was really a big demon, I'm afraid I would stay there!" Li Shiming shook his head and said with a wry smile.
"Is there any difference?" Xu Chuan looked at Li Shiming as if he were a monster and asked.
Yes, Li Shiming in the early stage of foundation building, even if he holds a bunch of talismans in his hands, he can still be easily beaten to death in front of a half-step demon, and even a half-step demon like Chiyang Xiong.
