Just a few days after Li Shiming moved out of the cave on the second floor, a Jindan monk named Hong Ting rented the cave through normal procedures.
When Hong Ting took the token and opened the cave, he still couldn't believe it.
He is not the only one who knows about the ‘Cloud-Taking Order’ in the cave here.
The original owner of the cave, the monk Wu Tongshan in the late Jindan period, was seriously injured after being ambushed by his enemies and escaped, returning to his secular home.
Perhaps this was Wu Tongshan's obsession when he knew that he would die, and wanted to return to his roots and die quietly in his own home.
His injuries were extremely serious, and he died not long after returning to his secular home.
Before his death, he left some things to his family, so that once a descendant with spiritual roots appears in the family, he would use the things he left behind.
But he misjudged human nature. He had been away from his secular home for too long. Today's descendants respected him extremely when he was alive, but after his death, they took out and sold the things he left behind.
It's also to blame that this family has no discernment and sold the Golden Core cultivator's space ring as an ordinary ring.
This space ring circulated among the world for a long time, and was finally obtained by a Qi Refining monk, who then sold it to a trading company.
The trading house copied the jade slips inside and resold the jade slips several times.
In addition to the exercises, the jade slips also contain the most important secret of Wu Tong Mountain, information about the hidden "Cloud Stepping Order".
The monks in the Palm Eye of the Merchant Bank don’t know the importance of the ‘Cloud Stepping Order’, and even most of the monks in the Foundation Establishment stage don’t know about it. This kind of cave-heaven thing is only spread among the monks in the late Golden Core stage.
The final result was that the news about the 'Cloud Stepping Order' hidden in the cave where Wu Tongshan originally lived was known to many monks who knew the truth.
The former Great Elder Tai Yi was one of them, and Hong Ting, who was in the late Jindan period, was also one of them.
Before Hong Ting came, he had also inquired about Wuqing Mountain's intelligence and knew that a great elder had forcibly attacked the cave and ultimately escaped without success.
Later, he heard that the owner of the cave had moved away, and he had an idea. He came over and used some high-grade spiritual stones to rent the cave.
Seeing how it was so easy to enter the cave that Elder Tai Yi had failed to enter even with all his strength, Hong Ting wondered if the 'Cloud Stepping Order' had been taken away.
According to the records in the jade slips, he came to the utility room. He did not have the ability of Li Shiming. He took out a formation-breaking talisman and activated it towards the wall.
He did not dare to attack the formation like Great Elder Tai Yi did. Even if it was the cave he rented, he could not break the rules of Wu Qingshan or the formation of the cave.
He bought the formation-breaking talisman from a formation master, and with the token in his hand that could control the formation, he was able to break through the formation on the wall in one go.
He quickly dug open the wall, revealing the passage leading to the secret room.
After discovering that the formation in the utility room had not been destroyed, and considering that the secret room was so secretive, he became confident that the 'Cloud Stepping Order' was still in its original place.
He climbed into the secret room with an ugly posture along the passage, and saw the wooden box placed in the secret.
He stepped forward and pressed lightly on the wooden box a few times before opening the wooden box.
This is the opening method recorded in the jade slips. Otherwise, if the descendants of Wu Tongshan came to open the wooden box, Wu Tongshan would have tricked his own family.
The formation mechanism in the wooden box failed, and when opened, a fake 'Cloud Stepping Order' made by Li Shiming was revealed.
Although it is a fake 'Cloud Stepping Order', there are not many monks who have actually seen the 'Cloud Stepping Order', so we can only rely on some rumors to prove it.
Hong Ting looked at the 'Cloud Stepping Token' in his hand. With his eyes, he could not tell whether the 'Cloud Stepping Token' was genuine or not. He used the only method he knew to take out a flying sword magic weapon and slashed at the 'Cloud Stepping Token'.
'superior.
With a 'ding' sound, the 'Cloud Stepping Order' did not suffer any damage.
He couldn't help but feel happy. Although the flying sword magic weapon did not use much spiritual power, and this attack was not a very strong attack, the jade token that could withstand the blow of the flying sword magic weapon was the most important feature of the 'Cloud Stepping Order'.
After he got the 'Cloud Stepping Order', he had no intention of staying anymore. The rent was just a few high-grade spiritual stones, which was nothing compared to the 'Cloud Stepping Order'.
Hong Ting flew out of the cave and flew towards the outside of Wuqing Mountain.
A drone satellite was monitoring the situation in the cave at 10,000 meters in the sky. It observed Hong Ting's entry and also noticed his departure.
This drone satellite was released by Li Shiming. He is re-establishing the drone satellite system bit by bit. It is still in the production stage. There are only a small number of drone satellites available, and he has prioritized them near his head.
"It seems that it is really for the 'Cloud Stepping Order', and the trouble should be diverted now!" Li Shiming observed Hong Ting's movements through his natal magic weapon IBMz15, and said to himself with a smile.
He had a backup plan after discovering the 'Cloud Stepping Order'. The 'Cloud Stepping Order' preserved by the late Jindan monks in such a secret way is certainly not ordinary.
After learning the true purpose of the 'Cloud Stepping Order', he became even more certain of the necessity of doing so.
Then he saw that not long after Hong Ting left Wuqing Mountain, he was besieged by a group of monks.
The scene was really chaotic. The drone satellite was too far away. I only know that when it finally dispersed, many monks died there.
"Master Li, do you know what was in the cave before?" A few days later, Yu An asked somewhat mysteriously when he came to visit Li Shiming.
Yu An is one of the very few golden elixir monks who can enter the first level. Due to his relationship with Ancestor Yu, Li Shiming also handed over some matters of refining third-grade elixirs to Yu An in order to save trouble.
In addition, Yu'an's Baodan Pavilion also needs the elixir refined by Li Shiming as a product, so Yu'an will come here from time to time.
Yu An is a businessman. Every time he comes to meet with Li Shiming, he will use various topics to keep the meeting quiet.
"Isn't my cave empty?" Li Shiming asked knowingly.
"Master Li, you have missed a great opportunity. The former owner of your cave, monk Wu Tongshan, hid a 'Cloud Stepping Order' in the cave!" Yu An said with a pity for Li Shiming.
"The 'Cloud Stepping Order' is the secret key to unlocking the Green Field Cave?" Li Shiming's eyes widened, as if he had heard the news for the first time.
"It was a bit strange that Great Elder Tai Yi attacked the cave. After you moved out, another monk rented the cave and obtained the 'Cloud Stepping Order'. As a result, the news was not hidden, and he was besieged as soon as he left Wuqing Mountain.
, in the end the monk was seriously injured and escaped, and now many Jindan monks are looking for him like crazy!" Yu An continued.
"Did you find out this?" Li Shiming thought that he seemed to have underestimated Wu Qingshan's intelligence capabilities.
"Wherever there is any need to check, it has already spread all over the place!" Yu An said with a smile.
Li Shiming also laughed. From Yu An's expression and the voice he listened to, he found that Yu An did not suspect him, and no monks from the outside world suspected that he had obtained the "Cloud Stepping Order".
"Master Li, I've thanked you so much for your trouble, please open a furnace to make a few furnaces of the third-grade elixir!" Seeing that Li Shiming was in a good mood, Yu An quickly made his request.
"Put the materials here and pick them up in a few days!" Li Shiming was indeed in a good mood and waved his hand.
Yu Anxiao's eyes narrowed, and he placed a storage bag in front of Li Shiming.
In addition to the alchemy materials in the storage bag, there are also some high-grade spiritual stones that serve as rewards for alchemy.
After this period of cooperation, Li Shiming's reward for refining the third-grade spiritual elixir has been a fixed number of high-grade spiritual stones.
However, because Li Shiming moved to the first floor, the other late-stage Jindan monks could not meet with him and could only communicate with him through tokens. However, the matter of refining elixirs could not be done by sending messages through tokens, so Li Shiming's refining of the third-grade elixir was
The reward is priceless.
It seems like a fair deal for Yu An, but he actually makes a lot of money.
Li Shiming didn't care about this high-grade spirit stone. What he cared about most now was the cooperation with Yuanying Ancestor.
After sending Yu An away, he released Venerable Huijing, who controlled the fourth-grade Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer to assist him in practicing the 'Jade Pure Thunder Code'.
After discovering that the resources for promotion to Nascent Soul were easily available in the Eastern Qi Continent, he stepped up his practice of the 'Jade Clear Thunder Code'.
He still remembered what happened to him when he was promoted to the Golden Core stage, and he was worried that it would happen again when he was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage.
He is still waiting these days. Ancestors Sang Feng and Yu are still preparing more resources for promotion to Nascent Soul, and have not contacted other Nascent Soul ancestors for him.
Another month passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Shiming never left the cave. During this period, he launched more than ten drone satellites.
The deployment of the drone satellite system was not smooth. According to the map of the Dongqi continent in his hand, he calculated the number of drone satellites needed. Fifty drone satellites can cover the continent.
The Eastern Qi Continent is different from the Northern Shu Continent. There are no large formations separating the various forces here. This situation would have been more conducive to the deployment of the UAV satellite system.
But when one of his drone satellites approached the thousand-mile range of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, it was pulled by a force and changed its flight direction.
Fortunately, when he designed the drone satellite, he considered the possibility of being captured by the monks. The drone satellite would actively self-destruct when affected by external forces.
The drone satellite lost contact after it exploded, which also made him wary. He might have underestimated the Dong Qi Continent.
In the Beishu continent, even the ancestors of Yuanying had not discovered the drone satellites. Even the more advanced drone satellites upgraded by Li Shiming were still discovered by the monks.
After Li Shiming's analysis, he found that as long as they did not enter the thousand-mile range of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, nothing would happen to the drone satellite.
But as long as it approaches the thousand-mile range of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, the drone satellite will either be directly destroyed, or it will be pulled by some kind of force.
Li Shiming couldn't help but be shocked. The direction the drone satellite chose to approach the Ten Thousand Beast Sect was not the same direction. Every time it entered the range of a thousand miles, it would be attacked. This meant that there was someone in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect who could send out
The powerful existence of Thousand Miles Attack.
Not to mention attacking at a distance of thousands of miles, it is already extremely remarkable to be able to detect drone satellites at a distance of thousands of miles.
Even if you have the power of "divine vision" and can observe three thousand miles away, this observation can still see invisible drone satellites.
Besides, because the UAV satellite is close to the 33rd Heaven, it is affected by the 33rd Heaven, making the UAV satellite more difficult to detect.
It was hard for him to imagine what kind of cultivation that powerful being from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect had.
Now he has learned to be smart. The deployment of the drone satellite system has staggered the range of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. In the future, when more drone satellites are deployed, they will also stagger the thousands of miles of the other three major sects.
"Business is coming!" Li Shiming suddenly smiled and said to himself.
In the scene transmitted from the drone satellite system, a figure that can affect the surrounding void and make the surrounding void appear blurry in the surveillance of the drone satellite is approaching Wuqing Mountain.
Ever since Elder Tai Yi attacked the cave, Patriarch Yu has never left Wuqing Mountain.
Having such a foundation that continuously earns profits is indeed a good thing, but it is also a constraint.
Patriarch Yu did not have the same freedom as ordinary casual cultivators. He was bound to Wuqing Mountain.
The Yuan Ying ancestor who came to Wuqing Mountain, whether he was Sang Feng ancestor or not, most likely came to Li Shiming to make elixirs.
While monitoring the approaching Yuan Ying Ancestor, Li Shiming noticed a vague figure flying out from Wuqing Mountain. This was Ancestor Yu who went out to greet him.
After the two blurry figures met, they stopped together for a moment and then flew towards the top of the mountain.
Li Shiming received a message that it was Patriarch Yu who came to visit.
Li Shiming put away Venerable Huijing and his clone Li Yuanba, opened the formation and walked out of the cave.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, this is Master Li!" Ancestor Yu introduced Li Shiming to Ancestor Yuanying beside him, and then said to Li Shiming, "Master Li, let me introduce to you, this is Ancestor Zhang Kai!"
"I've met Patriarch Zhang!" Li Shiming bowed and said.
He also knew something about Ancestor Yu, and Ancestor Yu was particularly polite to Ancestor Zhang Kai, with a sense of awe in his politeness.
Li Shiming is not an ignorant monk. He can tell that Patriarch Zhang Kai is also a monk in the early stage of Nascent Soul. The awe of Patriarch Yu probably does not come from Patriarch Zhang Kai himself, but most likely from the forces behind Patriarch Zhang Kai.
.
"I didn't expect that Master Li would already reach such a state at such a young age. It seems that he is only one step away from being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage!" Ancestor Zhang Kai looked at Li Shiming and said with a look of surprise in his eyes.
"This step is a natural chasm!" Li Shiming replied with a helpless smile.
"Master Li, why don't you invite us in and sit down?" Patriarch Yu reminded him with a smile.
"Two ancestors, please come in!" Li Shiming invited.
Ancestor Zhang Kai walked into the cave, his bearing was extraordinary, and walking with Ancestor Yu made Ancestor Yu obviously humbler.
Li Shiming knew that this kind of tolerance could only be developed by being aloof for a long time. It had nothing to do with cultivation, but a sense of superiority in mentality.
He was more interested in the identity of ancestor Zhang Kai. No matter what, he could not let the alchemy master suffer. In the end, he would be the one taking advantage.
