"Have you found Master Li?" This is the most common thing that monks say when they meet in Beishu Continent in recent days.
There is concern, gloating, helplessness, and heartache. The most heartbreaking one is that of Ancestor Ren Xun.
Ancestor Ren Xun handed ten fourth-grade elixirs and thirty-six drops of 'Tong Xuan Kun Earth Immortal Dew' into Li Shiming's hands, but now Li Shiming has disappeared.
It was not that he wanted to blame Li Shiming. Everyone knew the reason for Li Shiming's escape. Patriarch Luo Wei of Tianwen Sect almost captured Li Shiming by knocking on the door. No matter who it was, he would have escaped.
The excuse given by Patriarch Luo Wei was not believed by Tianxing Trading Company and the Yuan Ying Patriarchs of Bei Shu Continent.
Some speculations naturally arose, as to why Patriarch Luo Wei suddenly grew old and suddenly went out of his way to arrest Li Shiming. These were not his style of doing things.
There must be some kind of interest driving Ancestor Luo Wei, and there is only one interest in the Northern Shu continent that can make monks in the mid-Nascent Soul stage disregard all rules, and that is the Dongtian inheritance of Zhai Ge.
Although it is just a guess, based on the actions of Patriarch Luo Wei and the reaction of Li Shiming, the ancestors of Yuan Ying are increasingly feeling the possibility.
Of course, if you want to confirm this, you can only wait until you find Li Shiming.
Li Shiming was on the seabed ten miles away from the coast. He dug a cave and arranged a formation in it.
Through the drone satellite system, he monitored the actions of Tianwen Sect, Tianxing Trading Company, and the six major sects. In particular, the six major sects sent a large number of Jindan monks everywhere, and they were very determined to find him.
.
He smiled faintly, and to be honest, he was not very disappointed after losing the protection of Shushan Sect.
With Venerable Huijing by his side, his combat power is also strong enough. As long as he doesn't meet the Yuan Ying Ancestor, no matter how many golden elixir monks come, they will not be his opponent.
The resources accumulated in his hands, coupled with the third-grade elixir in the ‘Shanhe Qiankun Fan’, allowed him to not worry about cultivation resources at all during the Golden Elixir stage.
The only pity is the Yuanying-level spiritual veins. He has returned to the state of sharing the fourth-grade Nascent Soul-level spiritual veins with Venerable Huijing. However, with the 'Tongxuan Kun Earth Immortal Dew' in hand, his cultivation
There is not much demand for spiritual veins.
"Let's take a look at the situation!" Li Shiming was still a little hesitant. He didn't know the attitude of the six major sects, especially the Shushan Sect, towards him.
This affected his subsequent plans. After all, both Tianwen Sect and Tianxing Trading Company were foreign forces and would not stay in Beishu Continent for too long.
If there is no harvest for a long time, it is impossible for at least two middle-stage Nascent Soul monks from Tianwen Sect and Tianxing Trading Company to stay.
If Li Shiming still wants to stay in Beishu Continent, it depends on the attitude of the six major sects towards him.
In fact, from recent observations, his attitude towards the six major sects is not optimistic.
The six major sects are eager to find him. The number of Jindan monks mobilized can be analyzed. Almost every possible place has been investigated by the six major sects.
You must know that Tianwen Sect's attitude of wanting to catch him is extremely obvious. The six major sects are eager to find him. In his opinion, it is not serving Tianwen Sect.
You can't blame Li Shiming for being paranoid, but because he didn't feel safe, so he had to doubt.
Li Yuanba, who was practicing in seclusion in Chongxiao Peak, was forcibly summoned out of his cave. Ancestor Lu and Li used their authority to forcibly activate the formation at Chongxiao Peak and arrived outside his cave.
If he doesn't come out, I'm afraid the two Nascent Soul Ancestors will enter the cave to look for him.
"I've seen my master, I've seen my uncle!" When Li Yuanba walked out of the cave, his sword intention was a little erratic and swaying. This unstable state of his sword intention looked like he was disturbed during his training.
This is what he did intentionally. This method of forced summoning by Patriarch Lu and Patriarch Li is extremely taboo in the world of immortal cultivation.
Even if the sect wakes up the Nascent Soul Ancestor in retreat, it is to send a signal and wait for the Nascent Soul Ancestor to see it during the break of cultivation, rather than forcibly awakening it without asking any time.
"Yuanba, I'm disturbing your cultivation. I really have something important to do with you. I hope you can understand!" Patriarch Lu said helplessly.
Li Yuanba was the most promising monk in the Senluo Sect to achieve Nascent Soul, and he was also the inheritor of the Sword Ancestor. He did not want to disturb Li Yuanba's cultivation.
But who told all the major sects to start investigating Li Shiming's whereabouts from Li Yuanba, and even Patriarch Li agreed to start the investigation from Li Yuanba.
"I wonder what happened to Master?" Li Yuanba sighed in his heart. After all, Patriarch Jian left and his status dropped drastically.
If Ancestor Jian was still in the Northern Shu Continent, which Yuan Ying Ancestor would risk offending Ancestor Jian and treat him like this.
"You and Li Shiming are good friends. Do you know where Li Shiming is now?" Old Ancestor Li asked from the side.
"Isn't Master Li in Shushan Sect? Why do you ask me about Master Li's whereabouts?" Li Yuanba was stunned when he heard this and asked.
"Li Shiming has disappeared from the Shushan Sect. We are all looking for him. If you have any useful information about Li Shiming, please tell us!" Patriarch Lu pointed out intentionally when he saw that Li Yuanba didn't know anything about it.
"Master, you see what this is. After my master left, I followed his arrangements to practice in seclusion here and never left the seclusion. Although Master Li has some friendship with me, how can I know that he is missing when he is missing?"
Where?" Li Yuanba spread his hands and said.
When he spoke, he was full of resentment. This would happen to anyone who was forcibly summoned from seclusion and whose cultivation was affected.
So Patriarch Lu and Patriarch Li were not angry at his attitude, but they were very disappointed when they heard his answer.
"Try to contact Li Shiming and see if you can get in touch!" Patriarch Li ordered in a deep voice.
Li Yuanba glanced at Old Ancestor Li, and took out a contact card without refusing and was activating it, but Old Ancestor Li took it away.
"You don't need to contact me, I will contact you with this contact card!" Old Ancestor Li waved his hand and said.
Li Yuanba obviously knew what he was thinking, and he just wanted to find Li Shiming's general location through the contact card.
As long as you coordinate with Beishu Commercial Bank in advance before contacting you, you can locate his location through the contact sign in Li Shiming's hand after getting in touch with him.
"Does that mean it's nothing to do with me? If nothing happens, I need to go back to the cave to heal!" Li Yuanba bowed and asked.
"This is a healing elixir. Go and heal your wounds quickly!" Patriarch Lu took out a jade bottle and handed it over and said.
Li Yuanba took the jade bottle and returned to the cave.
When he walked back to the cave, he was in a very bad mood.
His bad mood was not entirely due to Patriarch Li's attitude towards him. Patriarch Li was not his master, so he naturally put interests before interests.
He could also accept Patriarch Lu's attitude, forcibly awakening his cultivation, which was indeed a bit excessive for his status as a master, but judging from Patriarch Lu's performance, he still wanted to show his care for him.
The main reason for Li Yuanba's bad mood lies in another aspect.
From the names the two Yuan Ying ancestors gave to the original body Li Shiming, he discovered that the Yuan Ying ancestors had different attitudes towards Li Shiming.
Perhaps the two Yuan Ying ancestors did not notice this. When they addressed Li Shiming, they called him by his first name.
When it comes to ordinary Golden Core cultivators, Yuanying Patriarch calling him by his first name shows his concern and love for the Golden Core cultivator.
But in the later period of Li Shiming's promotion to Jindan, everyone from the Yuanying Ancestor to the ordinary monks in the Northern Shu continent called Li Shiming Master Li.
This small change illustrates the attitude of the ancestor of Yuanying in the Northern Shu continent.
It also made Li Yuanba guess that it was very likely that the Yuanying ancestor of the Northern Shu continent suspected that Li Shiming had obtained the Dongtian inheritance.
Li Yuanba sighed helplessly in his heart. If he was under investigation, then Yin Shilan might also be under investigation. Fortunately, he did not contact Yin Shilan before leaving. At most, Yin Shilan's status in the sect would be affected to some extent, and there would be nothing wrong with it.
event.
He gave Yin Shilan a lot of golden elixir resources, which were enough for Yin Shilan to consume for a while.
Ancestor Li returned to his mountain peak with the contact card, and Ancestor Lu followed behind without saying a word.
Ancestor Li got in touch with Beishu Trading Company and asked for help in tracing the other side of the contact sign.
In fact, the Beishu Commercial Bank was not willing to follow Li Shiming. To say which force Li Shiming helped the most, it was not the Shushan Sect but the Northern Shu Commercial Bank.
Since Li Shiming became the guest minister of Beishu Trading Company, Beishu Trading Company's business share on the mainland has become larger and larger, suppressing all its trading houses and being unable to raise their heads.
Because of its relationship with Li Shiming, Beishu Trading Company was able to give priority to refining various elixirs from Li Shiming. The benefits from this were huge and far exceeded the value of these elixirs.
However, no matter how hard Beishu Commercial Bank came up with ideas, they could not fight against the six major sects. The six major sects coordinated to find Li Shiming at all costs, so Beishu Commercial Bank must cooperate.
Ancestor Li took out the contact card and began to contact Li Shiming through the contact card.
Something embarrassing happened to him. The contact card could not contact the distant contact card. Either Li Shiming was not within the mainland contact array, or Li Shiming had closed the contact card.
"It seems that the relationship between Yuan Ba and Li Shiming is not to the point of life and death!" Patriarch Lu said calmly.
"No, look at who can get so many benefits from Li Shiming like Li Yuanba. The Qianhuan Sect is too embarrassed to attack that girl. What scruples do we have? We will arrest Li Yuanba and then release the news to lay a trap!
"Laozu Li said coldly.
Patriarch Lu frowned. This would chill Li Yuanba's heart. Not only was Li Yuanba extremely talented, he was also Patriarch Jian's disciple and his disciple.
"Lao Lu, the Dongtian inheritance is related to the prosperity of the sect. You have to consider the importance of things. He is just a golden elixir disciple. After all, it is not to kill him, but to use him as a bait. After catching Li Shiming, it will be natural
Just let him go, and we will make some compensation later!" Old Ancestor Li said in a deep voice.
Ancestor Lu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Not only for the sect, but also for them, the Yuan Ying ancestors, as long as they can find Li Shiming and ask about the Dongtian inheritance, they may be able to take a step forward.
In the early stage of Yuanying, the lifespan is one thousand years, and in the middle stage of Yuanying, the lifespan can be increased by 500 years.
Even if there is even a slight possibility, the Nascent Soul Ancestors are willing to take a gamble, let alone just use a golden elixir disciple as bait. They are willing to bear such a price.
Li Yuanba did not take the third-grade healing elixir. He always felt a sense of depression, as if something was about to happen.
He didn't know where this feeling of depression came from, but he soon found out.
Two terrifying auras appeared again, this time more rude and rude. Last time at least the cave formation was not broken, but this time Li Yuanba's cave formation was forcibly broken.
Different from the formation of Chongxiao Peak, the formation of Chongxiao Peak is arranged by the sect. It needs to cooperate with the sect's formation and is also controlled by the sect.
Of course, if you want to have the authority to forcibly open the mountain guarding formation on a Nascent Soul-level mountain, the required procedures are somewhat troublesome.
But the Jian Ancestor has left, and Li Yuanba, the golden elixir monk, has become the master of Chongxiao Peak. This has also reduced the authority of Chongxiao Peak a lot. The two Nascent Soul Ancestors can naturally force it to open easily.
The formations in the cave are private formations. Forcibly breaking through the formations in the cave is an invasion of private space.
But even so, Li Yuanba's cave formation was still forcibly broken, and he himself was suppressed by the aura that he could not resist.
"Yuanba, if you suffer a little, the sect will compensate you afterwards!" Patriarch Lu explained aloud.
Ancestor Li pointed lightly at Li Yuanba's body, and a rune penetrated into Li Yuanba's body, sealing his golden elixir.
The golden elixir was blocked and Li Yuanba was unable to use his spiritual power.
Ancestor Li grabbed Li Yuanba's body and flew away from Chongxiao Peak, arriving at a mountain that was completely black.
Li Yuanba recognized this place as the Black Mountain where sect criminals were imprisoned. Not only were there many late-stage Jindan monks guarding this place, but it was also densely covered with a large number of formations. These formations were connected to the sect's formation, and the Jindan monks were imprisoned in it.
, let alone the golden elixir being sealed, even if the strength is still the same, there is no way to escape from here.
Li Yuanba was thrown into a cell. Ancestor Li turned around and left. Ancestor Lu wanted to say something, but he shook his head and left without saying anything.
Li Yuanba looked at the environment here. This was a cell made entirely of metal, which was a second-grade weapon refining material.
Although it was only a second-grade cell, it was covered with enchanted runes, making the cell extremely strong. Coupled with the formation outside and the late-stage Jindan monks guarding it, it was a foolproof place to hold it.
There is nothing in the cell, not even a table or chair. If you want to rest, you can only sleep on the cold ground.
Compared with the cold environment here, what makes Li Yuanba even more cold-hearted is his heart.
He truly regards Senluo Sect as his home, and the status of Shushan Sect in his heart is the same.
But looking at this environment, he couldn't help but shook his head and showed a bitter smile.
The only thing that gave him some comfort was that his mustard seed ring was still there. Perhaps Patriarch Li did not touch his mustard seed ring because of Patriarch Lu's face.
