The Thousand Illusion Sect has spread the news that Patriarch Ge is accepting Yin Shilan as a disciple, and even the date of the ceremony is set, which makes the cultivators of the Thousand Illusion Sect have to believe it.
Yin Shilan has few friends in the Thousand Illusion Sect, yet the number of people visiting her suddenly increased.
Li Shiming didn’t stay in the Thousand Illusion Sect for long. When he was with Yin Shilan, Yin Shilan accidentally discovered his high level of formation skills, turning their conversation into a discussion about formations.
It is not accurate to call it an exchange of formations; it should be Li Shiming guiding Yin Shilan.
In the art of formations, Li Shiming’s level far exceeds Yin Shilan’s, not to mention Yin Shilan; even Master Luo, the array master, is far inferior to him.
Unfortunately, their time together was interrupted by others, first Liang Yexuan came, then Ren Fei’er, followed by more fellow disciples.
Li Shiming initially helped to entertain, but soon realized that his presence made all the cultivators who came become particularly reserved.
Even Liang Yexuan and Ren Fei’er were extremely respectful in his presence.
You can’t blame these cultivators; most of them are at the Foundation Establishment Stage and some at the Golden Core Stage. To welcome Li Shiming’s arrival, the sect had hundreds of Golden Core Elders come to greet him, even two Nascent Soul Ancestors personally came forward.
Although there is a reason about Elder Zuo, cultivators have heard that Patriarch Ge puts Li Shiming on equal footing with Elder Zuo.
A Nascent Soul Ancestor, to be called an ancestor, is truly an unreachable existence; Li Shiming and the Nascent Soul Ancestor are equals, which naturally makes these cultivators in the Thousand Illusion Sect who can be considered juniors extremely nervous and respectful.
Just as Patriarch Ge invited Li Shiming over, he flew to the peak where Patriarch Ge was located.
There was only Patriarch Ge here; he did not see Elder Zuo or Ancestor Zhan.
"Master Li, please have a seat, I won’t embarrass myself with spiritual tea in front of you. The taste of these spirit fruits is unique in Beishu!" Patriarch Ge smiled and pointed to the prepared seats and said.
There, a plate of spirit fruits was placed, the crystalline fruits emanating a third-grade aura.
Li Shiming recognized these spirit fruits; they were the Illusion Moon Spiritual Fruits of the Thousand Illusion Sect, said to grow in illusions, with only the Thousand Illusion Sect able to cultivate them, and their yield was pitifully small.
Previously, those who sought his alchemy were Golden Core Stage cultivators, yet these Illusion Moon Spiritual Fruits in the Thousand Illusion Sect were beyond the reach of Golden Core Elders.
It was his first time seeing the Illusion Moon Spiritual Fruit; he did not stand on ceremony and picked one up to taste.
The spiritual energy of the Illusion Moon Spiritual Fruit was not rich, but the spirit contained within it was extremely special.
After entrance, the Illusion Moon Spiritual Fruit automatically triggered the operation of the ’Human Dao Reincarnation Technique’, fortunately, his natal magic treasure, the IBM z15, timely halted the operation of the ’Greedy Heaven Sleep Dream Technique’, or else he might have embarrassed himself in front of Patriarch Ge.
"I’ve long heard of the illustrious name of the Illusion Moon Spiritual Fruit, and it truly lives up to its reputation!" Li Shiming, feeling the Illusion Moon Spiritual Fruit’s influence on the ’Human Dao Reincarnation Technique’, could not help but commend it.
The spirit within the Illusion Moon Spiritual Fruit unexpectedly created a peculiar influence with the ’Human Dao Reincarnation Technique’.
Consuming the Illusion Moon Spiritual Fruit while operating the ’Human Dao Reincarnation Technique’ increased the cultivation effect of the ’Human Dao Reincarnation Technique’ many times over.
It’s known that spiritual techniques do not have any spirit pills to speed up cultivation.
Li Shiming’s spirit had long reached the pinnacle of the Golden Core Stage, yet the special feature of the ’Human Dao Reincarnation Technique’, an elite spiritual technique within the cultivation world, allowed his spirit to become more condensed.
This is akin to a wooden sword and a similarly sized iron sword; though their sizes are the same, their power is drastically different.
Li Shiming’s spirit, after cultivating the ’Human Dao Reincarnation Technique’, is undergoing the transformation from a wooden sword to an iron sword.
"Since Master Li likes it, I have some Illusion Moon Spiritual Fruits left here, and I’ll give them all to you!" Patriarch Ge, seeing Li Shiming’s fondness for Illusion Moon Spiritual Fruit, smiled and waved his hand.
Though Illusion Moon Spiritual Fruit is precious, all the Illusion Moon Spiritual Fruits of the sect are divided by several Nascent Soul Ancestors, each holding a fair amount.
With a beckon, a jade box flew out from the cave dwelling, and she placed the jade box in front of Li Shiming.
"Then I must thank Patriarch Ge!" Li Shiming did not stand on ceremony, as the Illusion Moon Spiritual Fruit was indeed somewhat beneficial for the transformation of his spirit.
"Master Li, how do you plan on arranging the matter of refining the fourth-grade spirit pill? I also have several fourth-grade spiritual medicines, and I’d like to ask for your help!" Patriarch Ge asked with a smile once Li Shiming accepted the jade box.
"I am not very capable, and can only open the furnace once a month. If Patriarch Ge wants alchemy, you’ll need to wait until eight months later!" Li Shiming thought for a moment and replied.
"I’ll set it for eight months later, at that time I will go to the Shushan Sect to deliver the spiritual medicine and payment!" Patriarch Ge said with joy on her face.
She could not go into seclusion again for quite some time after this entrance, at least not until the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Skywalk Trading Company left.
To have the fourth-grade spirit pill refined during this period, she was already very satisfied.
In her judgment, Li Shiming had scheduled her alchemy after the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Shushan Sect.
The reason she didn’t deliver the fourth-grade spiritual medicines to Li Shiming now was not because she didn’t trust him, but she didn’t have satisfactory payment on hand.
She didn’t consider the Illusion Moon Spiritual Fruit as payment; generally, the payment should be equivalent to the grade of the spirit pill being refined, otherwise, it would not be presentable.
Know that it’s not just Patriarch Ge, a Nascent Soul Ancestor, who seeks Li Shiming for alchemy. If the payment she offers is inadequate, it would not only affect her relationship with Li Shiming but also be a joke among other Nascent Soul Ancestors.
