A large flying boat is sailing in the sky. The large flying boat has the symbol of Shushan Sect on it, and the interior is even more luxurious to the extreme.
On the first floor of the large flying boat, there are two high-level alchemists and more than a dozen middle- and low-level alchemists. On the second floor, there are only two people. One is Li Shiming, and the other is Elder Zhao, the sword cultivator of the Shushan Sect.
Elder Zhao's mission is to protect Li Shiming, and this outing is the mission arranged by the sect for Li Shiming.
The task is very simple, go to Fire Cloud Valley to serve as the referee for this alchemist gathering.
Speaking of the alchemist gathering, this is an important exchange meeting among alchemists.
In the process of growing up, an alchemist needs to constantly learn and accumulate experience, which requires a lot of communication.
Under normal circumstances, alchemists are scattered among various sects and forces. Even alchemists from the same sect, as long as they are not alchemists from the same department, rarely communicate with each other.
Therefore, this exchange event for alchemists is an extremely important networking opportunity for every alchemist, and all alchemists who have the conditions will actively participate.
More importantly, the winner of the alchemist event will receive substantial rewards and receive comments from the alchemist master, which will greatly promote the self-improvement of the alchemist.
Li Shiming has never participated in an alchemy event. It's not that the alchemy event excludes him, but it's only held once every ten years. Ten years ago, he didn't even have any contact with alchemy.
Of course, this is not the main reason. The Beishu continent is not only the alchemist gathering held in Fire Cloud Valley, there are also alchemist gatherings held by other forces.
Li Shiming had never attended any of these gatherings before, and he had not been invited to these gatherings.
The key point here is his level of alchemy. Since he made alchemy publicly, he has never failed, and every time he makes alchemy, it is full of elixirs and of high quality.
His level of alchemy is something even a master of alchemy would not dare to say he can achieve.
If he was invited, other alchemists would not dare to participate in the competition, and even the alchemy master would not be able to comment.
"This flying boat of yours is really good!" Elder Zhao was sipping the third-grade spiritual tea and looking at the large flying boat around him with some envy.
This large flying boat belongs to Li Shiming. It was originally a trophy obtained from Elder Lu of the Senluo Sect. It was a magic weapon-level large flying boat.
"The Exotic Land Development of Vegetable-Growing Skeletons"
That is to say, this magic weapon-level large-scale flying boat has its own energy supply, and does not require a monk to have the strength of the Golden Core stage to be controlled by Li Shiming.
Li Shiming likes this large flying boat very much. Now with his status, he doesn't have to worry about the conspicuousness of using such a magic weapon-level large flying boat.
This time he was attending an alchemist gathering, and he happened to be bringing some alchemists from the sect with him, so he took out the magic weapon-level large flying boat for use.
Although Elder Zhao is the Jindan Elder of the Shushan Sect, with his wealth, there is no way to buy such a magic treasure-level large flying boat.
Senluo Sect Elder Lu's magic weapon-level large flying boat, but Senluo Sect's property is not Elder Lu's private property. Elder Lu's private property is another small magic weapon-level flying boat.
Only large sects have the financial resources to build such a large magic weapon-level flying boat.
"Elder Zhao is joking, but it's just a toy!" Li Shiming was used to seeing good things, so he replied with an indifferent smile.
"Shi Ming, I got some benefits by following you out this time. Look at this flying boat and the spiritual tea I drank. I would have known that I would have gone to learn alchemy back then!" Elder Zhao shook his head and said with a smile.
Of course he was joking. He is a sword cultivator. Once a foreign object comes into his hands, he will immediately sell it and exchange it for materials that enhance his natal flying sword.
The sword cultivator's natal flying sword is a bottomless pit, and any amount of wealth can be filled into it.
Fortunately, the natal flying sword on the clone Li Yuanba's side is the natal flying sword of Jindan Sword Xiu Yun Xingyi. It has been cultivated for hundreds of years. At least in the short term, there is no need to prepare the enhanced natal flying sword for Li Yuanba.
Material.
"Excuse me, Uncle Zhao, for accompanying me. I will take good care of you!" Li Shiming smiled and offered the tea ceremony to Elder Zhao.
Elder Zhao was very good to him. He even saved his life before, and this time he had the task of protecting him. How could he treat him badly?
The spiritual fruit on the table in front of you is of the third grade, and the spiritual tea is also of the third grade.
"I see that your sword intention has increased. You haven't even experienced a battle, but your sword intention has increased so fast. You really should major in sword cultivation!" Elder Zhao sat up straight and once again wanted to let Li Shiming switch.
Majoring in Kung Fu.
This is not the first time he has made such a suggestion. Since meeting Li Shiming, he has tried to persuade him almost every time he met.
Now that Li Shiming has reached the half-step golden elixir realm, he still has not given up this idea.
Li Shiming also understood what he meant, thinking that after he achieved elixir, he would change his major in martial arts to sword cultivation.
But Li Shiming had his own considerations. His sword intent was indeed constantly increasing, which was the benefit he got from his clone Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba's sword intent has gone through several battles with the golden elixir monks. If judged by numerical values, Li Yuanba's sword intent has increased by one hundred points, and then the original Li Shiming's sword intent has correspondingly increased by thirty points.
In addition, Li Yuanba became a golden elixir monk, and his sword intent increased rapidly every day, which caused Li Shiming's side to also continue to grow.
Li Yuanba is in the Golden Core stage, and his sword intent can be regarded as growing rapidly. Although Li Shiming only achieved three-tenths of the growth rate, it is even more obvious than Li Yuanba when it comes to Li Shiming who is in the foundation building stage.
Therefore, even Elder Zhao had not been in contact with Li Shiming for a long time before he sensed the change in Li Shiming's sword intent.
"Uncle Zhao, I just have a question related to sword intention that I would like to ask for advice!" Li Shiming didn't want to talk more about changing his major in martial arts, and he couldn't refute it directly, so he changed the topic.
"Ask for advice, just tell me if you have any questions!" Elder Zhao understood what Li Shiming meant, and he continued Li Shiming's words.
Elder Zhao also knew that it was not appropriate to persuade Li Shiming to change his major in martial arts. He mainly did this because he did not want Li Shiming to waste his talent in sword cultivation.
"Look at my sword intention!" Li Shiming has always wanted to consult a swordsman about his sword intention, and he didn't want to let this opportunity pass him by.
He stretched out a finger, the finger was full of sword intent, and wisps of electric light flashed on the finger, making the sword intent even more violent.
"This is this?" Elder Zhao was surprised. He sensed it with his spiritual mind, and finally even reached out to touch Li Shiming's sword intention.
Li Shiming's sword intention contained the power of thunder and lightning, a phenomenon that Elder Zhao, a sword cultivator, had never seen before.
"How did you do it?" Elder Zhao temporarily gave up the idea of persuading Li Shiming to change cultivation. His mind was completely focused on Li Shiming's thunder and lightning sword intention.
"I don't know, I practiced the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Technique', and one day I suddenly had an idea, and the sword intention was filled with thunder and lightning!" Of course, Li Shiming couldn't tell the truth. In fact, he couldn't explain why this happened.
Accurate explanation.
But when he thought about it, the biggest reason was that he practiced the 'Purple Qi from the East' and used a Fresnel reflector to absorb the effects of two years of innate purple gas.
But the use of Fresnel reflectors to practice the 'Purple Qi from the East' is his secret, and he cannot mention it to outsiders, so he can only give an ambiguous answer.
"This is impossible. Although the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Technique' is a good thunder attribute technique, I have never heard of it having such a function!" Elder Zhao shook his head and muttered to himself.
He looked at the lightning sword intention on Li Shiming's finger again and was puzzled.
Li Shiming was a little disappointed. Originally, he wanted to get some insights from Elder Zhao, a senior sword cultivator, but who knew that instead, Elder Zhao fell into confusion.
Along the way, Elder Zhao did not talk to Li Shiming anymore. He was always thinking. Even if he approached Li Shiming, he would ask Li Shiming to display his sword intention for his reference.
There was no trouble along the way. It was within the sphere of influence of the Righteous Path and had the mark of the Shushan Sect. In addition, the large magic weapon-level flying boat must be the vehicle of an important figure in the Shushan Sect. How could any monk dare to intercept it.
There was no hurry and it took three days to reach the destination.
Li Shiming looked at the marks on the map, and ahead was the Fire Cloud Valley.
There are a lot of monks nearby. Huoyun Valley is a medium-sized sect that specializes in alchemy. There is an alchemy master in the sect, which makes many small forces gather around Huoyun Valley.
With Huoyun Valley as the center, a gathering place of monks has been formed over a thousand miles. All the monks are led by Huoyun Valley. This makes Huoyun Valley, a medium-sized sect, almost similar to some big forces in terms of the combat power it can really mobilize.
.
When he arrived outside Huoyun Valley, Li Shiming cast a message transmission spell.
He and Elder Zhao came here on behalf of the Shushan Sect, so it had to be communicated in a formal way.
Not long after the message transmission technique was played, a golden elixir early stage monk with white hair and a childish face flew out of the Fire Cloud Valley and arrived in front of the large flying boat.
"This is Master Tong Yun!" Elder Zhao introduced the visitor to Li Shiming through sound transmission.
Li Shiming nodded, and he and Elder Zhao came out together.
"Li Shiming, a latecomer, has met Master Tong Yun!" Li Shiming took the initiative to bow and salute.
"You don't have to be polite, how dare you deserve Master Li's gift? I admire Master Li very much!" Master Tong Yun returned the courtesy very politely without any airs of seniors.
Master Tong Yun had heard many rumors about Li Shiming, but after actually meeting him, his fear became even greater.
Li Shiming is already a half-step golden elixir. Considering Li Shiming's age, it shows that his cultivation talent is so high that there are probably not many monks in the Northern Shu continent who can compare with him.
His talent in cultivation is extremely high, and his talent in alchemy is not to mention.
If Li Shiming hadn't been unable to refine some complex third-grade elixirs, perhaps the alchemy master's strength ranking would have been overturned long ago.
Even so, the alchemist community is still hesitant about Li Shiming's ranking, and currently places him outside all alchemy masters and does not rank him.
It is estimated that after Li Shiming becomes a golden elixir monk, Li Shiming's alchemy ranking will jump to the top.
"I have met Master Tong Yun!" Elder Zhao was very respectful to Master Tong Yun. This was a real alchemy master who could refine most third-grade elixirs.
The status of an alchemy master is extremely high in the world of immortality, and the respect shown by Elder Zhao is indeed normal.
Master Tong Yun returned the gift, and then waved to invite Li Shiming and Elder Zhao to enter the Fire Cloud Valley.
The three of them were flying in front, and the large flying boat carrying the alchemists of the Shushan Sect followed behind.
After Li Shiming entered the formation of Fire Cloud Valley, he immediately felt the specialness of this place.
The space was filled with the faint scent of medicine, and he judged the smell of various third-grade elixirs from the scent.
He was able to analyze the names of the elixirs contained in the complex medicinal aromas by relying solely on his sense of smell, mostly with the help of ibmz15.
Fire Cloud Valley has opened up a separate area to serve as the venue for the alchemist grand gathering. Other areas of Fire Cloud Valley will not be open to the public.
But with the enthusiastic guidance of Master Tong Yun, after sending the alchemists of Shushan Sect to the venue, Master Tong Yun led Li Shiming and Elder Zhao to visit Fire Cloud Valley.
Fire Cloud Valley can become a sect that specializes in elixir refining, and its characteristics are revealed in every aspect.
The medicinal fields range from low to high quality and are looked after by professional spiritual practitioners.
These medicinal fields are planted with first- and second-grade elixirs, and their planting area is the largest that Li Shiming has ever seen.
"Is that the 'Fierce Sun Berry'?" Li Shiming smelled the scent of the elixir. At the same time, he saw the red clouds surrounding the mountainside in front of him, and he couldn't help but asked in surprise.
‘Fire Yang Sky Berry’ is a third-grade elixir. He knew the growth environment of ‘Fire Yang Sky Berry’, and the environment in front of it was just in line with it.
"Master Li has good eyesight. He knew from such a distance that the place where the 'Fire Yang Tian Berry' is grown!" Master Tong Yun did not mean to hide it. The sect is based on the Fire Cloud Valley because of the 'Fire Yang Tian Berry'.
Berries' reason.
This is not a secret, most sects know this.
And part of the elixir refined from the ‘Fierce Sun Berry’ produced here will be sold to the three major righteous sects.
With the protection of the three righteous sects, there is no need to worry about other monks peeking into this place.
Of course, Fire Cloud Valley has the secret method of cultivating ‘Scorching Sun Berry’, which is also an important reason to ensure that it occupies this place.
Li Shiming did not propose to visit the inside of the red cloud. The formation there was so strict that it must be the most important secret of Fire Cloud Valley.
"Sure enough, this is the alchemy inheritance sect. It is actually able to cultivate third-grade elixirs on its own. It's really amazing!" He said with emotion.
"That red cloud is the reason why Fire Cloud Valley got its name, and it is also a necessary condition for the growth of 'Scorching Sun Berry'!" Master Tong Yun explained proudly.
Then Master Tong Yun and Li Shiming began to exchange their experience in refining the ‘Fire Yang Tianling Pill’, and for a while they were talking about speculation.
It was just a pain for Elder Zhao that he couldn't understand the exchange between the two and could only do his duty of protection.
The visit lasted two hours, and it was a great time for both host and guest.
