The Yuqing Sect wants to remotely communicate on the Dongqi Continent, and they must independently arrange a communication array, which is quite a large project and very susceptible to damage.
The practices of the four major sects made it difficult for Xin Jingyun from the Central State Comrce to seek out Li Shiming.
Moreover, during warti, cultivators from outside sects are unable to access the identity jade discs of the four major sects.
Xin Jingyun thought of many ways to determine the location where Li Shiming was stationed and personally rushed over.
In Xin Jingyun’s perception, an indescribably terrifying force passed by her.
She almost cried out in shock; this was an attack by a great cultivator, its power was sothing she could assess.
It was obvious that this attack was aid at her, yet for so unknown reason, it avoided her.
"Is this a warning or a mistake?" Xin Jingyun quickly cald down and thought.
She hovered in the air, not daring to make a move.
When facing a warning from a great cultivator, the best course of action is to wait for the cultivator’s decision; making a reckless move and losing one’s life is unwise.
Although she is a Central State Comrce cultivator, and Central State Comrce is a superpower, a life cannot be regained; if she were killed, revenge by Central State Comrce would be too late.
Not to ntion, the likelihood of Central State Comrce provoking a conflict with a great cultivator for the sake of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner is slim, especially since if Xin Jingyun were killed just now, there would be no returning the ssage.
Xin Jingyun saw a figure flying towards her, causing her heart to race with nervousness and relief.
She was nervous awaiting the other party’s decision, yet relieved that since the person did not kill her on the spot, it ant there was room for negotiation.
As she was pondering this, she saw the face of the person approaching.
"Master Li!" The huge stone in Xin Jingyun’s heart imdiately dropped, and her whole body relaxed.
The shadow of death vanished with Li Shiming’s appearance, as Li Shiming had no reason to harm her.
"My fellow Xin, I apologize sincerely, I almost injured you by mistake!" Li Shiming slightly bowed and apologized.
Xin Jingyun was taken aback, understanding that Li Shiming’s words conveyed quite a bit of information.
Firstly, there is a great cultivator nearby, most likely protecting Li Shiming.
Secondly, Li Shiming has influence over this great cultivator, capable of affecting their decisions, otherwise, the attack wouldn’t have been deflected.
"I was too reckless coming here!" Xin Jingyun bowed in return and said.
Even though this place is sowhat far from the Da Yue Mountain Range, it is still within the war zone announced by the four major sects.
Her sudden appearance in a war zone and being attacked was entirely normal.
But with her cultivation level at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, there should not be any danger on the Dongqi Continent.
"Let lead the way; I’ve been stationed here recently!" Li Shiming said with a smile.
He didn’t ask how Xin Jingyun found out about his location, considering Central State Comrce has nurous connections on the Dongqi Continent, evidenced by Xin Jingyun’s easy access to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s mountain gate.
Perhaps so cultivator responsible for task issuing leaked his location to Xin Jingyun.
Tracing this matter back could be tricky; even though the cultivator was at fault, it would involve Central State Comrce, complicating matters for the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.
"I apologize, I resorted to certain thods to discover where Master Li was stationed, as I had no other option. I have an important alchemy commission requiring Master Li’s involvent!" Xin Jingyun bowed deeply and explained solemnly.
She knew her actions were questionable, and unless it was absolutely necessary, she would not have done so.
"Let’s discuss it further at my cave residence!" Li Shiming looked around and said with a smile.
The two flew towards the resource point in the Xuanxi Mountain Range, and as they approached, Kang Yuan discovered them through the formation and quickly flew out to investigate.
Li Shiming didn’t notify Kang Yuan upon leaving, so Kang Yuan was unaware.
Upon returning, Li Shiming didn’t use invisibility or conceal his aura, so Kang Yuan noticed him.
"Kang Yuan, this is Mr. Xin, a cultivator from Central State Comrce here to see !" Li Shiming introduced to the approaching Kang Yuan.
"Greetings, Senior Xin!" Kang Yuan, unlike Li Shiming, bowed courteously to Xin Jingyun.
It is customary for those in the early Nascent Soul stages to greet those in the middle Nascent Soul stages as juniors.
Given the good relations between Central State Comrce and the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, he couldn’t afford to be disrespectful.
Kang Yuan, with a sense of propriety, led the way, quietly speculating on when Li Shiming might have left, as he was completely unaware.
Upon reaching the resource point, Kang Yuan did not participate in the discussions between Li Shiming and Xin Jingyun, recognizing that Xin Jingyun ca specifically for sothing with Li Shiming, and staying would be inappropriate.
"Here are three sets of spiritual dicine for a great cultivator-level limb regeneration spirit pill. We ask Master Li to concoct one advanced spirit pill; only one is needed. Use as much spiritual dicine as necessary, and the rest is at your disposal. Here’s the remuneration too!" Xin Jingyun pushed two storage bags in front of Li Shiming and said solemnly.
Li Shiming was startled, as requesting the production of an advanced spirit pill was unprecedented.
His publicly known alchemy skills were limited to fourth-grade interdiate quality.
"Master Li, please check the remuneration before making a decision!" Xin Jingyun urged as she noticed Li Shiming hesitating to look into the storage bags.
She observed the peak Nascent Soul Early Stage aura from Li Shiming, growing more confident he would agree to the alchemy request.
This ti, the remuneration perfectly t Li Shiming’s current needs.
Li Shiming hesitated for a mont, then extended his divine sense into the storage bag.
The storage bag contained only a jade bottle, with a single spirit pill inside, but upon seeing it, he felt a wave of joy.
The Nascent Soul Early Stage Fourth Grade Breaking Realm Pill was exceptionally rare; although its quality was only interdiate, its purpose was to help early-stage practitioners glimpse the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, enhancing breakthrough chances.
Of course, it doesn’t guarantee an imdiate breakthrough; rather, it cracks open the doorway to advancing to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, making it attainable, which is the most crucial aspect.
So Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators might never glimpse the middle-stage realm in their lifeti, but with this pill, hope increases.
From there, it’s a matter of ti; perhaps soon, or maybe in ten, a hundred, or several hundred years, continual accumulation could lead to a Nascent Soul Middle Stage breakthrough.
"Can this great cultivator keep my secret?" Li Shiming slowly inquired.
He simply couldn’t bear to part with the Nascent Soul Early Stage Fourth Grade Breaking Realm Pill, as he was unsure how long it would take him to advance to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and it arrived at such a perfect ti.
Xin Jingyun felt relieved; she discerned from Li Shiming’s words that he was prepared to agree, albeit with so reservations.
She was puzzled as to why Li Shiming wished to conceal his alchemy level.
Judging from the spirit pills crafted by Li Shiming, all reaching the sa fourth-grade mid quality, just a step shy of high grade.
If it were only one or two pills like this, it’d be unremarkable, but Li Shiming managed to produce all fourth-grade spirit pills at this level, hinting at a special secret technique, or perhaps concealing his true alchemy skills.
Many cultivators suspected this too, but Central State Comrce’s assessnt was that Li Shiming was hiding his true alchemy prowess, rather than it being a specialized alchemy technique.
"It’s a great cultivator from Central State Comrce who encountered difficulties at sea and has lost a hand and a foot. We need a great cultivator fourth-grade advanced limb regeneration spirit pill to heal him. Since he is a great cultivator from Central State Comrce, he can ensure confidentiality, and the comrce can even assure it with a contract!" Xin Jingyun answered confidently.
With a burning gaze, Xin Jingyun looked at Li Shiming, awaiting his response.
"One great cultivator-level limb regeneration spirit pill, co to pick it up in forty days!" Li Shiming said solemnly.
