He doesn’t even need to check the battle results since the drone satellite system is monitoring everything.
The surprise attack was too sudden. Great Cultivator Duan Zhang was lost in thought, and the nine Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivators were perplexed by an inexplicable battle, leaving them demoralized and flying dispiritedly.
So when the surprise attack hit, they were completely unprepared. Even when Great Cultivator Duan Zhang attempted to rescue them in a flash, he couldn’t aid any of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivators.
One Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivator’s physical body and nascent soul were obliterated, struck by the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ of Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng. Being hit by an attack close to the Great Cultivator Level resulted in such consequences.
The other four Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivators only had their nascent souls left, their physical bodies were completely void of life.
Great Cultivator Duan Zhang felt his blood boiling, an urge to kill stirred within him, but Li Shiming was too cunning, leaving him powerless.
The four remaining Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivators were truly shaken, just monts ago there was a group of Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivators, and in a blink, only four remained.
Li Shiming’s initial attack could be considered an accident, they never imagined that Li Shiming, a Mid-stage Cultivator, could consecutively launch attacks that quickly kill Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners.
But the facts proved that Li Shiming could indeed launch powerful long-range attacks consecutively.
The four Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivators took out defensive treasures while enhancing themselves with defensive spells, yet this did not reassure them; they further moved towards Great Cultivator Duan Zhang.
They sought a semblance of safety from Great Cultivator Duan Zhang, realizing that Li Shiming couldn’t harm a Great Cultivator and thus kept targeting Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivators.
Filled with rage, Great Cultivator Duan Zhang could only sigh helplessly in the end.
"Bring your nascent souls, sit on my Flying Boat and leave together!" he commanded, taking out a Flying Boat.
The four Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivators hastily called eight nascent souls aboard the Flying Boat, and they boarded the Flying Boat themselves.
With Great Cultivator Duan Zhang onboard the Flying Boat, any attacks could be resisted.
Li Shiming watched this scene through the drone satellite system, deciding not to chase the opponents further, realizing there were no more opportunities.
He decisively chose to let go, storing all items that might expose his position into the tech room space, having lost trust in any faction.
However, before that, he took out a contact plate.
"Senior, Yuqing Sect set a trap to ambush based on my location from the Guest Official Jade Plate. According to the initial contract with Central State Comrce, this counts as unilateral breach by Central State Comrce, and I will terminate the guest elder agreent!" He sent this ssage to Great Cultivators Wang Changdong and ng You.
Then he stored the contact plate back into the tech room space, not planning to use it again, at least during his stay on the Central State Continent.
Wang Changdong was still recovering from his injuries, but with the Fourth Grade Healing Spirit Pill refined by Li Shiming, his recovery was much faster than expected, expecting full recovery in about a year.
Great Cultivator ng You had just accepted a task, but had not yet set out.
Both received the ssage from Li Shiming, and a flash of shock and anger crossed their eyes.
They had all benefited from Li Shiming, especially considering the alchemy skills Li Shiming displayed; even in the Central State Continent, he was among the top Alchemy Masters.
It could be said that Li Shiming’s alchemy skill was ranked in the top three across the entire Cultivation World, and with his age, he still had vast potential for improvent.
The main reason they sought to ally with Li Shiming was not just his current alchemy skills, but also his imnse future potential.
A cultivator at the pinnacle of the Cultivation World’s alchemy, with extraordinary cultivation talent, advancing to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage before a hundred years of age, such talent naturally drew them to befriend him.
As long as Li Shiming did not fall, he would definitely beco a Great Cultivator, maybe even surpassing the Great Cultivator level.
Such a genius cultivator was actually betrayed by Central State Comrce. Although it was solely due to an authoritative official, the actions of an official represent those of Central State Comrce.
They didn’t bla Li Shiming for speaking of terminating the guest elder agreent. Betrayal is never forgivable in the Cultivation World.
The two Great Cultivators decided to contact each other and, upon eting, found that Li Shiming had sent ssages to both of them.
After so discussion, they realized finding out who leaked Li Shiming’s information was quite easy, as acts of using Central State Comrce’s Formation to locate a Guest Official Jade Plate would be recorded in the Formation.
However, pulling down a powerful official would be a bit troubleso.
Powerful officials generally had Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, but they weren’t Great Cultivators since wielding power ant sacrificing a lot of personal cultivation ti, leading those uninterested in cultivation to take such positions.
While powerful officials were not at the Great Cultivator level, giving the impression that the two Great Cultivators could suppress them, every official had a strong backing, which included multiple Great Cultivators.
"Let’s find the Supre Grand Elder!" Wang Changdong suggested in a deep voice.
"Yes, we can’t let Master Li just leave Central State Comrce, it’s a loss for Central State Comrce!" Great Cultivator ng You nodded in agreent.
Great Cultivator ng You temporarily halted his task, and together with Wang Changdong, they flew to a part of the comrce headquarters, and after passing through a spatial door, they arrived at a Grotto Heaven.
"Wang Changdong (ng You) requests to see the Supre Grand Elder!" Their attitude was extrely respectful, and their voices barely carried in the vast space, but they understood that even the slightest sound would be noticed by the Supre Grand Elder in this Grotto Heaven.
"What brings you over? Have a chat!" An old voice said, and the figures of the two Great Cultivators vanished from their original spot, reappearing in a grand hall.
In the center of the hall sat an old man wearing white robes, with white hair and beard.
This old man’s cultivation level was indiscernible, yet he exuded a harmony with the Grotto Heaven.
"Supre Grand Elder, we are here to report a pressing matter!" Wang Changdong bowed as he spoke.
Then he relayed all the details concerning Li Shiming and presented the ssage Li Shiming had sent to the Supre Grand Elder.
"Master Li is indeed a talent. What you did was rather petty. A master like Master Li, if you had publicized his level of alchemy, none of this would have happened. Those little thoughts of yours!" The Supre Grand Elder, with a profound understanding of people, shook his head with a smile.
Wang Changdong and ng You felt like children being counseled by the Supre Grand Elder.
Indeed, they harbored little thoughts, fearing that Li Shiming might be too busy to refine Spirit Pills for them.
If they publicized Li Shiming’s reputation, he certainly would receive attention from Central State Comrce headquarters, but at the sa ti, many Great Cultivators would approach Li Shiming for alchemy.
Central State Comrce is a unique superpower, with many cultivators having deep ties with other factions, stemming from comrcial relations transforming into personal connections over ti.
So if Central State Comrce headquarters learned of Li Shiming’s alchemy skills, not only would their Great Cultivators seek him for alchemy, but Great Cultivators from allied factions would also reach out.
By then, besides cultivation, all of Li Shiming’s free ti would be consud by alchemy, and they’d have to queue up for Li Shiming to refine pills for them.
That queue might last several years, possibly over a decade. Having the advantage of knowing Li Shiming first, how could they forfeit such conditions? This little thought of theirs was evident to the Supre Grand Elder.```
