Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 525: Chapter 309 Reinforcements

Manager Xin Shun carefully held a sealed jade box in his hand and extended it towards Li Yuanba across from him.

The jade box had been sent over through the shop’s channels from the other side.

Li Yuanba took the jade box, and without any hesitation, he first checked the seal on the box in front of Manager Xin Shun. After finding nothing amiss, he opened the jade box.

Inside the jade box were two bottles, each containing ten third-grade Spirit Pills. This was his first time testing the delivery of third-grade Spirit Pills through this channel.

Twenty third-grade Spirit Pills meant a considerable stake for this channel. Had he not already contacted Jieshan Mountain Pass beforehand, the delivery might have been intercepted midway.

The original body, Li Shiming, could not leave the sect, but he had followers, especially a follower named Ye Lingyun. With the help of Foundation Establishment Pills provided by Li Shiming, she had successfully advanced to become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Ye Lingyun brought the jade box to the other side of Jieshan Pass. She did not use Li Shiming’s name but instead used the name of the Ye Family, a quite notable Cultivation Family, which made things more convenient.

Additionally, Li Yuanba had already taken care of the channel on his end, so the entire process of transporting the jade box was not risky at all.

Manager Xin Shun was not surprised to see the third-grade Spirit Pills. Upon reaching the Golden Core Stage, almost all Golden Core cultivators primarily seek cultivation resources, among which third-grade Spirit Pills are most crucial, relating to significant matters of cultivator training.

As for why they obtained third-grade Spirit Pills from Righteous Path forces, it was quite normal. The Senluo Sect also had an Alchemy Master, but the Sect’s Alchemy Master was best at refining Demon Cultivation Spirit Pills and rarely refined ordinary Spirit Pills.

So, for the cultivators of Senluo Sect practicing Righteous Path cultivation techniques, Spirit Pills were relatively scarce.

“Elder indeed has means to have purchased Spirit Pills refined by Master Shiming,” Manager Xin Shun said as he glanced at the mark on the jade bottles and complimented.

The reputation of Master Shiming, the alchemy master, was continuously rising along with the distribution of his refined Spirit Pills.

Even the Ten Thousand Great Mountains were aware of Li Shiming’s name. Manager Xin Shun, who managed cultivation resources, certainly recognized Li Shiming’s mark.

“You’ve worked hard this time!” Li Yuanba put away the third-grade Spirit Pills and waved his hand.

Manager Xin Shun knew what he meant and bowed before leaving the Guardian Mansion.

Twenty third-grade Spirit Pills were enough for Li Yuanba to cultivate for nearly two months. He had no plans to frequently use this channel for transporting resources.

In the following days, he experienced the peace of Jieshan City.

All matters did not require his attention. Deacon Yue Xing was competent, and under his careful management, Jieshan City ran smoothly without any mishaps.

With resources secured, his cultivation followed a standard routine. During the day, he practiced “Fiery Sun Jade Body Technique” and “Sky-reaching Sword Qi Technique”, and at night, he practiced “Evil Corpse Spirit Record”, and his cultivation began to ascend relatively quickly.

A month after he took over the task of guarding Jieshan City, he was refining his Lifebound Flying Sword Xingyi when he suddenly felt a reaction from his Identity Jade Disc.

His Divine Thought swept over the Identity Jade Disc and found a distress message sent from Jiang Pu.

Without any hesitation, his figure soared into the sky, and Xingyi Sword carried him as a streak of sword light towards Jieshan Mountain Pass.

As he approached Jieshan Mountain Pass, he sensed Jiang Pu’s presence.

Jiang Pu was hovering above Jieshan Mountain Pass, his energy fully deployed and enveloping the area below.

The other two Golden Core Elders, however, had disappeared somewhere, which puzzled Li Yuanba.

“Junior Li arrived just in time, with Junior Brother’s help, there’s no need to worry about trouble!” Jiang Pu saw Li Yuanba’s arrival, and the worry on his face lessened. He greeted Li Yuanba.

“What has happened?” Li Yuanba looked at Jieshan Mountain Pass, and with his senses, he did not detect any traces of fighting below.

“The Earth Evil Sect’s rats are smuggling through the grand array at the pass. Brother Meng and Senior Brother Shi have already gone in pursuit. I called Junior Brother here to help guard Jieshan Mountain Pass, to prevent it from being breached due to weak defenses!” Jiang Pu replied with a wry smile.

The Earth Evil Sect was one of the three major Demon Sects, on par with Senluo Sect and Yin Yang Sect.

“I didn’t expect that the cultivators from the Earth Evil Sect would enter the Ten Thousand Great Mountains from here since the Earth Evil Sect is far from the Ten Thousand Great Mountains!” Li Yuanba, realizing he was only there to help guard Jieshan Mountain Pass and not to fight, relaxed and said.

His time in the sect was too short, and he had scarcely heard about the matters between Senluo Sect and the other two major Demon Sects.

From Jiang Pu’s tone, it seemed that the relationship between Senluo Sect and the Earth Evil Sect was not good, even hostile.

“The core Inheritance Techniques of the Earth Evil Sect, ‘Earth Evil Demon Skill’, require the absorption of Earth Evil Qi during the Golden Core Stage, and the best Earth Evil Qi is the Mountain Evil Qi of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains. Absorbing the Earth Evil Qi would greatly deplete the spiritual nature of an area, which is like undermining the foundation of our Senluo Sect. Thus, preventing the Earth Evil Sect from entering the Ten Thousand Great Mountains is a strict matter for our sect!” Jiang Pu explained, shaking his head.

With Li Yuanba’s arrival, Jiang Pu was no longer overly anxious. With the two of them, both Golden Core Elders at Jieshan Mountain Pass, they were well-equipped to handle most troubles.

“There won’t be any problems with Brother Meng and Senior Brother Shi, right?” Li Yuanba thought of the two Golden Core Elders who had gone in pursuit and asked somewhat uneasily.

Although it had only been a little over a month, he had already formed a good fellowship with the three Golden Core Elders at Jieshan Mountain Pass.
