Li Shiming looked at the six high-level 'Fire Yang Tianling Pills' that were held by his spiritual thoughts with some speechlessness. He originally wanted to save some face for Master Yun Ruo, so he deliberately used the 'One Hundred and One Point Pill Jue' to use it.
This alchemy ended in failure, making the competition between the two sides a draw.
But who would have thought that his '100-point elixir' was actually outside the computer room and was successful in one go.
"Master Li, what a trick!" Master Yunruo thought he meant to humiliate him like this, so he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice.
"Master Yun, I used a secret method to win, so this competition is considered a draw!" Li Shiming had gained face, how could he really form a big enemy with an alchemy master, especially the alchemy master of Qianhuan Sect?
He smiled and waved his hands.
His words stunned Master Yunruo. Master Yunruo did not expect that he actually meant this.
And Master Yun Ruo immediately thought of the reason why Li Shiming used the "One Hundred and One Points Alchemy Technique". It turned out that he found that he failed in alchemy refining, and Li Shiming wanted to use the "One Hundred and One Points Alchemy Technique" to also cause the alchemy to fail, so as to save face for himself.
As a master of alchemy, Master Yunruo knows how low the success rate of elixir-splitting methods like the 'One Hundred and One Points Alchemy Technique' is.
He couldn't help but sigh for the luck of Li Shiming and himself. This one in ten thousand chance would be encountered by both parties, which led to the current situation.
"Master Li, what do you mean by a draw? It's not like I can't afford to lose. I wonder if Master Li is willing to make me a friend?" Master Yunruo changed his smile and bowed slightly.
"Master Yun, this is my honor!" Li Shiming smiled and bowed back.
The two alchemy masters smiled at each other and put aside their grudges, and there was no longer any tension as before.
Master Tong Yun looked on, feeling very happy. If these two alchemy masters had a big feud with him, he, as the master, would not look good afterward.
Master Tong Yun presided over the event again, and Li Shiming and Master Yun Ruo did their respective arbitration work. Especially Master Yun Ruo, because of his good interest, would give some pointers to outstanding alchemists from time to time, which made the atmosphere of the event extremely tense.
warm.
The alchemist event will be held for three days. The first day is for low-level alchemists to communicate, the second day is for intermediate alchemists to communicate, and the third day is for high-level alchemists to communicate.
At the end of the first day of exchange activities, Li Shiming lived in the cave prepared for him in Huoyun Valley.
That is to say, he and Master Yun Ruo had such conditions. The other alchemists and accompanying monks were all arranged in temporary wooden houses without dedicated spiritual veins.
For monks, it doesn't matter how poor their living conditions are, but spiritual veins are a must, otherwise they can only practice by taking spiritual pills.
Fortunately, Huoyun Valley did not neglect the guests. Each guest had a cultivation auxiliary elixir based on their own strength. This cultivation auxiliary elixir was enough to make up for the loss of being unable to practice for three days.
Elder Zhao, a golden elixir monk, got a third-grade elixir. This time nearly twenty golden elixir monks came over. Huoyun Valley took out nearly twenty third-grade elixirs at once. This is quite valuable.
.
In other words, there is Master Tong Yun in Huoyun Valley, and the people who come here are all early-stage golden elixir monks, so there is no need to worry about Huoyun Valley not being able to produce elixirs.
Elder Zhao went to meet his old friends. He didn't have to worry about Li Shiming's safety in Fire Cloud Valley.
He will not live in the cave. He can move as he pleases during these three days, as long as he returns to the sect with Li Shiming at the end of the event.
Li Shiming was quite satisfied with the cave. There was a golden elixir level spiritual vein connected to the bottom of the cave.
He didn't practice, he just sat cross-legged at the outlet of his spiritual veins, thinking about what he had seen today.
Even though junior alchemists were communicating today, hundreds of junior alchemists each had their own inheritance. On such a day, when facing the alchemy master, they used their inherited alchemy secrets without any reservation, which made Li Shiming very excited.
Vision.
Thinking about the exchanges between intermediate alchemists and senior alchemists the day after tomorrow, they will also see more advanced alchemy secrets, which will be extremely beneficial for him to collect alchemy data.
Just as he was thinking about it, a sound transmission technique flew over.
He frowned. Although he was here to participate in the alchemist gathering, there were certain rules for interactions between monks.
This is the time for most monks to practice, and very few monks will disturb others' practice at this time.
With a move of his hand, he caught the sound transmission method and consulted it with his spiritual mind.
"Tianxing Trading Company!" Li Shiming recalled the information about this trading company in his mind. Outside the cave, a supervisor from Tianxing Trading Company came to visit.
The large commercial banks that can compete with the Northern Shu Commercial Banks in the Northern Shu Continent and can still survive under the suppression of the Northern Shu Commercial Banks' many advantages all have their own backgrounds.
Take Tianxing Trading Co., Ltd. as an example. Tianxing Trading Co., Ltd. is a transcontinental trading company.
Although its competitiveness in Bei Shu Continent is not as good as that of Bei Shu Trading Company, it has many resources that Bei Shu Continent does not have, which allows Tianxing Trading Company to maintain strong competitiveness.
It was not surprising that the other party came to him. When he was in Shushan Sect, many of the monks he had made friends with were asked to be entrusted, and all the major business houses wanted to meet and discuss with him.
But he refused them all. The cooperation between Bei Shu Commercial Bank and him has always been very pleasant. He did not want to have any contact with other commercial banks because it was not necessary. He cooperated with Bei Shu Commercial Bank because he only wanted to get help from Bei Shu Commercial Bank.
Collect a large amount of mortal resources for him.
As the largest trading company in the Northern Shu continent and a local trading company, it is definitely the best partner for collecting mortal resources.
Originally, Li Shiming wanted to ignore the sound transmission technique, but considering that the other party was already outside the cave, it was better to give such a big force a chance to meet him.
He came to the entrance of the cave and opened the passage.
To his surprise, the person coming from Tianxing Trading Company was a female golden elixir cultivator whose realm was at the early stage of the golden elixir.
This Jindan girl is very slender and enchanting. She doesn't look like a businessman at all, but looks like a female cultivator from the Yin Yang Sect, one of the three major demon sects.
"Master Li, I have taken the liberty to come to visit you. How polite is it that little girl Fang Lu is doing this!" Fang Lu bowed and bowed. The robe she wore was a slim-fitting one. Under this curved body, her uneven curves were revealed.
Her appearance, coupled with her sultry face, is extremely attractive to men.
Li Shiming was not infected by this temptation. His eyes were clear, because when Fang Lu bent down to salute, he felt a trace of spiritual power fluctuations, which showed that Fang Lu had mobilized some kind of secret method.
Perhaps the secret method of temptation used by early-stage Jindan monks like Fang Lu would definitely have a very strong effect on ordinary foundation-building monks, but this did not include Li Shiming.
Li Shiming, a half-step golden elixir, has a mental strength that is almost the same as that of a monk in the early stages of the golden elixir.
He practices the 'Vajra Body Protection Magic'. Although he does not intentionally practice Buddhist spiritual techniques, he has been influenced by the sound of Buddhism for many years and has a strong resistance to such spiritual secret techniques.
Not to mention that Fang Lu was in Fire Cloud Valley after all. She didn't dare to use all her strength when using her secret technique. In order to prevent Fire Cloud Valley from noticing, she didn't mobilize much spiritual power.
According to Li Shiming's analysis, it is estimated that Fang Lu's use of these secret techniques does not show much hostility, but is a kind of instinct. These secret techniques, combined with Fang Lu's natural charm, can win the favor of the other party the first time they meet.
"I am also a guest here, please come into the hall to talk!" Li Shiming said lightly.
He let Fang Lu into the hall, and the two parties took their seats respectively.
Li Shiming only served Fang Lu with second-grade spiritual tea. Considering his relationship with Tianxing Trading Company, it did not reach the level of entertaining Fang Lu with third-grade spiritual tea.
"Master Li, Tianxing Trading Co., Ltd. would like to cooperate with you!" Fang Lu sat down and said his intention with a chuckle.
Li Shiming was not surprised by what Fang Lu mentioned. Since he became an alchemy master, many big forces have wanted to cooperate with him. However, he has always been in the Shushan Sect and not many have the opportunity to make requests in person.
"I think fellow Taoist Fang knows that I am a guest of Beishu Trading Company!" Li Shiming replied calmly.
"Tianxing Trading Company is not competing with Beishu Trading Company. What we want to cooperate with is to trade with other continents. It has nothing to do with Beishu Continent and does not involve the interests of Beishu Trading Company. This does not conflict with your status as a guest!"
Fang Lu explained with a smile.
Li Shiming was slightly startled. He did not expect Fang Lu to say this.
Although he has long known that Tianxing Trading Company is a cross-continent trading company, as far as he knows, wanting to cross the continent must be done by the Yuanying ancestor. Let the Yuanying ancestor come forward to transport the goods, even if he is an alchemy master.
The elixirs produced are also not eligible.
You must know that only fourth-grade spiritual objects can be summoned by the ancestor of Yuanying. The elixir refined by Li Shiming is only a mere third-grade elixir, and it is also the lowest level among the third-grade elixirs.
"Fellow Daoist Fang is joking!" He shook his head and said in confusion.
"Master Li has underestimated your value. As long as you are willing to cooperate with Tianxing Trading Company, the trading bank will terminate the guest relationship with Beishu Trading Company on your behalf. We will also give you double the benefits of Beishu Trading Company and invite you to become a guest client of the trading company!
"Fang Lu smiled charmingly and continued.
Li Shiming no longer believed Fang Lu's words at all. If he really asked Fang Lu to help him terminate the guest relationship with Beishu Trading Company, then he would have completely offended Beishu Trading Company.
Based on the relationship between the Northern Shu Trading Company and the Northern Shu Continent, the Shushan Sect would have objections to him.
He was even worried that Beishu Trading Company would be afraid of him investing in other trading firms and would deal with him as a threat that was not for their own use.
"Fellow Taoist Fang, then there is nothing to talk about!" Li Shiming picked up the teacup and took a sip.
When they met for the first time, they did not serve the best spiritual tea to the guests. The host even raised the tea and said a word of rejection. The meaning was obvious, that he meant to see off the guests.
Fang Lu's smile faded. She was the Taoist priest in charge of the Beishu branch of Tianxing Trading Company.
It is not quite accurate to say that she is a Taoist companion, because she is not the only Taoist companion who is the head of the Beishu branch of Tianxing Trading Company.
Her main job at Tianxing Trading Company is to recruit talents.
She has natural conditions in this regard, especially the skills she cultivates, which makes it difficult for monks to reject her method of attracting talents.
When Li Shiming saw Fang Lu for the first time, he thought she was a demon cultivator from the Yin Yang Sect, and he was right.
Fang Lu is a monk of the Yin Yang Sect, but since she joined Tianxing Trading Company, her previous identity has been hidden, and she always shows herself as Tianxing Trading Company.
This is also the reason why she can appear in the sphere of influence of Zhengdao. Tianxing Trading Company has whitewashed her origin.
Of course, although Fang Lu's origin could be hidden from the ordinary forces of the Righteous Path, she could not conceal it from the intelligence systems of the three major Righteous Path sects, so she did not dare to go to the mountain gates of the three major Righteous Path sects.
Li Shiming had been in the mountain gate before. Fang Lu had no way to deal with Li Shiming, and there were many methods that he could not use.
Finally, after learning that Li Shiming attended the alchemist gathering in Huoyun Valley, Fang Lu used the relationship with Tianxing Trading Company to find this place and was able to enter Huoyun Valley.
Fang Lu's original plan was that as long as Li Shiming was willing to cooperate, after obtaining the elixir refined by Li Shiming, he would use these elixirs to attack the relationship between Li Shiming and Beishu Trading Company.
Li Shiming signed a contract with Beishu Trading Company. When the relationship between Li Shiming and Beishu Trading Company deteriorates, Fang Lu's Tianxing Trading Company will be able to reap the benefits.
It's a pity that Li Shiming is very sober and is not the young and careless genius Fang Lu imagined at all, so he doesn't give her the slightest chance to take advantage of him.
After Fang Lu saw Li Shiming's gesture of seeing off the guests, she suddenly felt angry and fearful. She was a demon cultivator and didn't have much scruples in her actions.
At this time, she and Li Shiming were the only ones in the hall of the cave, and she was in the early stage of Jin Dan cultivation. Although her strength was mainly in spiritual temptation, she could still handle a half-step Jin Dan in the early stage.
easy.
As long as Li Shiming is controlled, the Yin Yang Sect's methods can control Li Shiming and let Li Shiming do whatever he wants.
As for the consequences, if she brings a genius like Li Shiming back to Tianxing Trading Company, Tianxing Trading Company will definitely protect her.
Besides, no matter how talented Li Shiming is, he is still in the foundation building stage. No matter how great his potential is, it is only potential. Without growth, there is no way for Shushan Sect to conflict with the Nascent Soul level of Tianxing Trading Company.
As long as it's not a conflict at the Nascent Soul level, Fang Lu doesn't have to worry about the consequences.
"Master Li, since you don't have to drink wine as a penalty for toasting, then come back with me!" Fang Lu's tone of voice suddenly changed, all the power of temptation in her body was fully activated, and the Yin Yang Sect's Xuanyin Su Nu skills were fully activated, and her charm instantly increased.
ten times.
A pink aura expanded outward and was about to envelope Li Shiming.
Li Shiming's perception was extremely sensitive. When he discovered that Fang Lu was mobilizing his spiritual power, he knew that the other party was trying to force himself.
He was extremely angry. He thought that the other party would come to visit him publicly during the alchemist's grand gathering, so he would let him enter the cave to entertain guests.
Who would have known that people from Tangtang Tianxing Trading Company would use force when meeting.
What's even more frightening is that he is in the hall, which is not big in the first place, and the pink aura is expanding so fast that he has no place to dodge.
Even if he uses 'Lotus Every Step', there is no place for 'Lotus Every Step' to be used in this space.
An earthy yellow shield appeared on his body, which was a shield spontaneously generated by the 'Thick Earth Shield Bead'.
It's a pity that Fang Lu's Xuanyin Su Nu Kung Fu uses spiritual methods. The 'Thick Earth Shield Bead' is only a rare treasure in the foundation building stage, and its defensive effect is limited.
