Li Shiming took out the third-turn Tianbao Furnace. He did not prepare a large amount of alchemy, but just to delay time.
Therefore, what was refined in the third-turn Tianbao Furnace was the 'Shushan Mixed Pill' in the early stage of foundation building. According to his estimation, a monk from Qianye Temple would really follow and monitor him. If he did not move for a long time, the other party would probably come to check.
He even put the 'Escape Ten Thousand Miles Talisman' in his hand. This kind of life-saving talisman was actually a bit slower than the 'Step by Step Lotus', so it had limited effect on him.
Zhiming Arhat stayed outside all day and night. He felt something was wrong, and there was no spiritual vein here. Li Shiming dug a temporary cave here, and there wasn't much he could do.
Even in cultivation, it is impossible to take elixirs continuously. No matter what kind of elixir it is, it takes time to digest. You cannot take elixirs continuously to practice.
"Could it be that Li Shiming discovered me, used the formation to cover up, and left secretly?" Zhiming Luohan became more and more anxious as he waited, and he couldn't help but secretly thought.
We can't blame Zhiming Arhat for not being calm enough, but this mission was assigned by Venerable Huike, and Zhiming Arhat didn't want to make any mistakes.
After a few more hours, Zhiming Arhat began to feel restless.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and stopped hiding his whereabouts. He came outside the formation of the temporary cave and tried to cast a spell inside.
This was called alerting the enemy, and when he did respond, he had a reason to explain.
When monks encounter such formations outside, they either avoid them or try to say hello. This is normal.
However, as a Zhiming Arhat, Venerable Huike had taken action against Li Shiming not long ago, and Zhiming Arhat disturbed Li Shiming again. Anyone who sees it has problems.
But Zhiming Arhat really had no choice. He wanted to know whether Li Shiming was still there.
When the magic formula was inserted into the formation, there was no response at all, which made him change his expression.
Without any further hesitation, he took out the magic weapon and mobilized his spiritual power to slam it down towards the magic circle.
This formation is not too powerful. All formation flags used are formation flags made of second-grade formation materials. At best, it can only defend against attacks from monks in the foundation stage.
A powerful monk like Zhi Ming Luohan, who is at the Golden Core Stage, can break the formation in an instant with a single blow from his magic weapon.
The moment the formation was broken, there was a loud noise inside, and the smell of burning mixed with the aroma of elixir came from the cave.
"My elixir!" Li Shiming's heartbroken roar came from the cave.
Zhiming Luohan really didn't expect that Li Shiming was still in the temporary cave. He dared to break the formation because he was more than 80% sure that Li Shiming would leave.
He attacked the formation just to confirm that Li Shiming was not in the temporary cave.
When Li Shiming came out of the cave, his expression changed drastically when he saw Zhiming Arhat.
"Qianye Temple, we are not done yet!" The talisman in Li Shiming's hand flashed, and his figure drew a long shadow on the spot. His voice was still there, but the figure had already fled away.
He didn't even have a chance to explain to Zhiming Arhat before he activated the 'Escape Talisman for Ten Thousand Miles'.
Only Zhiming Arhat was left standing there blankly. He saw that it was an extremely precious life-saving talisman, and it was the last trump card left by the Jindan monk to the true disciples.
Li Shiming used such life-saving trump cards, and Zhiming Arhat couldn't explain it clearly even if he had a mouth.
How did Zhiming Arhat know that all this was planned by Li Shiming? If he didn't make the matter bigger, Qianye Temple's endless tracking would really give him a headache.
He is just a late-stage foundation-building monk. Although he has methods to hide himself, he cannot guarantee that his hiding methods will be 100% effective when facing Arhats and even sages from large sects like Qianba Temple.
Therefore, he did not choose to use the "Secret Technique of Charming Soul Hide", but directly set up a trap, at the cost of consuming a "Ten Thousand Miles Escape Talisman", to confirm that Chiba Temple attacked him again.
The effect of the 'Ten Thousand Miles of Escape Talisman' was quite good. The energy inside took him to travel nearly ten thousand miles at an extremely fast speed, which was much faster than a normal golden elixir monk.
Although the 'Escape Talisman' has good effects, it is extremely troublesome to make. Not to mention the difficulty of drawing the talisman, just the materials used for the talisman consume some third-grade materials to achieve such an effect.
When the effect of the 'Ten Thousand Miles of Escape Talisman' disappeared, his whole body felt relaxed. He could not detect it in his perception, but the feeling of being followed in his mind made him uneasy. Now he was finally free from the tracking.
Li Shiming first reported to the Shushan Sect that Zhiming Arhat attacked his defensive formation and that he was forced to use the "Escape Talisman" to escape, and also attached a live recording.
He ignored how the sect negotiated with Qianye Temple and used his guest ID card to contact Cai Hong.
"Fellow Daoist Li, it's rare for you to take the initiative to contact me!" A hearty laugh came from Cai Hong's side.
Cai Hong thought that Li Shiming came to express his gratitude to Beishu Trading Company. Not long ago, Li Shiming encountered trouble and asked three Jindan monks to help through Beishu Trading Company. He considered this a good thing to strengthen his relationship with Li Shiming.
.
Li Shiming's value lies in his ability to refine elixirs in large quantities and ensure the quality of elixirs, which even master alchemists cannot match.
The reason why Li Shiming's elixirs are extremely popular in the world of immortality, and the supply exceeds demand, is because the quality of every elixir refined by Li Shiming is the best among high-end ones.
Even if each of the cultivation auxiliary elixirs can improve the effect a little, it will be a great benefit for long-term use.
Not to mention those life-saving elixirs, if the effect is improved a little, it may be a guarantee of life.
"Shop Manager Cai, I remember that when signing the guest alchemist contract, I could choose the identity of the customer, right?" Li Shiming asked calmly.
"Of course, Beishu Trading Company will never interfere with who Daoist Li is willing to make elixirs for or not!" Cai Hong was startled and didn't understand what was going on, so he replied.
"That's good. All future alchemy tasks involving Qianye Temple should not appear on my task list. If found, I will terminate the guest relationship with Beishu Trading Company!" Li Shiming explained calmly.
"Fellow Daoist Li, do you know why?" Cai Hong asked in confusion as he didn't know why.
This matter is not trivial. Li Shiming's level of alchemy is almost definitely at the top among senior alchemists.
Moreover, Li Shiming's alchemy quantity and quality are the best. The six major sects have customized a large number of elixirs from Li Shiming through Beishu Trading Company, and have gained a lot of benefits.
Li Shiming wanted to use his own power to block the alchemy business of Qianye Temple, a large sect.
Although it seems that Li Shiming is extremely arrogant, it is actually feasible. Li Shiming no longer refines elixirs for Qianye Temple. That is Li Shiming's private matter.
Of course, doing so would offend Qianye Temple. Those monks were not good-tempered, and Cai Hong couldn't help but worry about Li Shiming.
Cai Hong wanted to find out the reason from Li Shiming, and then make peace with both parties through Beishu Commercial Bank.
Regardless of whether Li Shiming had a problem with any of the Buddhas in Qianye Temple, Beishu Trading Company would be able to speak up so that the situation would not expand and cause greater trouble.
Cai Hong even knew that the six major sects had ordered a large number of elixirs from Li Shiming this year, and almost handed over most of the second-grade elixirs to Li Shiming.
"Just ask Qianba Temple what he did to me!" Li Shiming cut off the contact after saying this.
In Qianye Temple, neither Zhiming Arhat nor Huike Venerable, or even most of the Arhat Venerables, are quite clear about the importance of Li Shiming to Qianye Temple.
The task of outsourcing the elixir of Qianye Temple to Beishu Trading Company was the work of Zhiyan Arhat, who was in charge of alchemy in the temple.
For more than half a year, Qianye Temple can be said to have tasted the benefits. The elixirs that the Buddhas exchanged for their contribution points were all high-quality elixirs of the highest quality, which greatly improved the efficiency of the Buddhas' cultivation.
Zhiyan Arhat inexplicably received a notice from Beishu Trading Company that Li Shiming, the guest alchemist, would no longer accept tasks from Qianye Temple, and stated that this was due to Qianye Temple. Li Shiming made this decision.
Zhiyan Arhat immediately became anxious. His Medicine Buddha Hall was working hard to collect second-grade elixirs and was preparing to refine a new batch of second-grade elixirs.
If Li Shiming does not accept the task, then he will go back to the past and be refined by the alchemist in the temple.
As for the senior alchemist in the temple, it would be good if one-tenth of the second-grade elixirs refined by the senior alchemists in the temple were high-grade elixirs. Even if the high-grade elixirs were produced, they would still be far inferior to the quality of the high-grade elixirs refined by Li Shiming.
Zhiyan Arhat has kept half of the elixirs for more than half a year, just to prevent the senior alchemists in the temple from having no elixirs to use, thus causing the senior alchemists he trained to go to waste.
If we all rely on the high-level alchemists in the temple from now on, then after tasting the high-level elixir refined by Li Shiming, the Buddha in the temple will probably get into trouble.
Zhiyan Arhat hurriedly reported the matter and wanted to know why Li Shiming stopped refining elixirs for Qianye Temple!
The senior officials of Qianye Temple naturally knew what was going on. At this time, several venerables and Arhats were worried, and the Shushan Sect sent severe accusations.
If the first attack on Li Shiming was a misunderstanding, then a second attack followed immediately, then it was no longer a misunderstanding, but it was specifically targeted at Li Shiming.
In order to be attacked by Chiaki Arhat at Chiba Temple, Li Shiming used the 'Escape Talisman' to escape for his life. This result has begun to affect the relationship between the two sects.
You must know that Patriarch Fan stepped in to solve the problem last time, but within two days, Patriarch Fan was humiliated and Qianye Temple attacked Li Shiming again.
Li Shiming was on his way through the night at this time. He was at ease in the dark night. He used the "Secret Technique of Phantom Hide" to hide his figure. The white lotus of "Step by Step Lotus" was also hidden, which made him as silent as a ghost in the dark.
Moving breathlessly.
During the day, he still used the 'Charming Soul Hide Secret Technique' and used the 'Stepping Lotus' to make use of the shadows everywhere.
In a dozen hours, he arrived at the checkpoint. He found the flaw in the last defensive formation with ease, and quietly passed through the formation to reach the junction area.
Here he released his clone Li Yuanba, and both sides smiled at each other. After bowing, Li Yuanba turned into a sword light and headed towards the boundary mountain pass.
Li Shiming finally breathed a sigh of relief after sending his clone Li Yuanba back.
No matter what Qianba Temple thinks, the clone Li Yuanba has returned to Shiwandashan, so he no longer needs to worry about Qianba Temple's arrest.
Besides, after returning this time, Li Yuanba will devote all his efforts to practice and reduce the time of leaving the sect, which will give even fewer opportunities for Qianye Temple to take action.
Li Shiming passed through the defensive formation again and returned to the sphere of influence of the Righteous Path. This time, the target he chose was the ruins of the 'Five Qi Sect'.
He still used the method of combining the 'Charming Soul Concealment Secret Technique' and 'Step by Step Lotus' to rush on his way, which was much more concealed than using a flying boat.
Now he is being watched by Qianye Temple. A large sect like Qianye Temple has an intelligence system in Beishu Continent. If he openly uses the flying boat to travel, he will probably be tracked by Qianye Temple soon.
.
"Huike, I need an explanation!" Patriarch Fan contacted Venerable Huike, his voice full of anger.
"Donor Fan, we have no ill intentions towards little benefactor Li Shiming, we just want to investigate the news of a Buddhist reincarnation from him!" Venerable Huike hesitated for a moment, but explained some of the facts.
"If Qianye Temple wants to ask Li Shiming any questions, he can definitely go through Shushan Sect. When Li Shiming was out, you attacked Li Shiming one after another. This time, Li Shiming even used life-saving measures. Is this the attitude of Qianye Temple?
Can I, the Shushan Sect, use the same method to go to the Buddha in Qianye Temple to inquire about matters?" Patriarch Fan asked in anger.
Venerable Huike also felt a little regretful at this time. He learned from Zhiyan Arhat that Li Shiming had stopped refining alchemy for Qianye Temple. He had not known about this before.
I didn't even know that Li Shiming played such an important role in Qianye Temple in alchemy. As a venerable person, he would not usually pay attention to matters at the level of second-grade elixirs and Buddhas.
Originally, it was not a big deal that Li Shiming did not refine elixirs for Qianye Temple. They were just elixirs from the Buddha's period. There were also senior alchemists in his own temple, so there would not be a shortage of elixirs.
But the problem is that Li Shiming refines high-level elixirs for the other five major sects and does not refine them for Qianye Temple alone. This is equivalent to the fact that the foundation-building period monks of the other five major sects generally improve their cultivation faster than Qianye Temple.
The impact of this kind of thing cannot be seen in a short period of time, but as time goes by, the gap between them will widen.
If the strength of the Buddha of Chiba Temple is generally weaker than that of the other five major sects, it will cause great trouble. It may not have much impact on top combat power, but in the event of a large-scale conflict, it will be catastrophic.
Trouble.
Therefore, Li Shiming's troubles must be resolved as soon as possible. This is the consensus of the top management of Chiba Temple.
Who would have thought that a small senior alchemist in the foundation-building stage could influence a large sect like Qianye Temple by himself, forcing it to make certain concessions.
