Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 750: Chapter 421 Interception_2

He was using ”Telepathy” to interrogate the purpose of Skywalk Trading Company, but this was already the fifth Golden Core cultivator he had caught, and none of the five Golden Core cultivators knew the company’s purpose.

To his greater surprise, all the Golden Core cultivators who were attacking the cultivators of the Beishu Continent were native cultivators from the Beishu Continent, who had only defected to Skywalk Trading Company within the last year.

When he learned about Skywalk Trading Company’s generous treatment and the lax contract terms through ”Telepathy,” he almost felt like Skywalk Trading Company was a great benefactor of the Cultivation World.

How could this be possible? There couldn’t be such a force in the Cultivation World. The returns Skywalk Trading Company planned to get would be a hundredfold of its investment.

With Skywalk Trading Company causing such a stir, Li Yuanba refused to believe that its sole purpose was to do business on the Beishu Continent. If it was truly for the sake of doing business, why would it go about purchasing Golden Core cultivators, and only to confront the six major sects?

The six major sects must have also noticed this, but they didn’t know Skywalk Trading Company’s purpose either.

”Mr. Li, let’s go back. It seems they are afraid!” Elder Wei Xi said in a deep voice.

They had been out for a day, yet looking at the results, they were all Early-stage to Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivators killed after responding to distress signals, and based on the Spiritual Objects in their spatial items, they were still native cultivators.

”That’s fine!” Li Yuanba nodded in agreement.

This kind of action was just too wasteful; five Great Elders were doing something that ordinary sect disciples could do.

They withdrew from the Yongle Battlefield, and everything went very smoothly.

At the same time, Great Elder Sun Ao had already sneaked past the seal blockade of the medium-sized sect on the left side and landed on the shore, advancing towards the inland of the Beishu Continent.

After leaving the maritime area, his speed suddenly increased significantly.

In his hand, the Jade Scroll was constantly probed by his Divine Thought. He compared the landscape ahead with the map in the Jade Scroll.

From time to time, he would bypass some areas occupied by powerful sects. His familiarity with the Beishu Continent came from the information previously sent back by Skywalk Trading Company’s influence there.

After more than thirty hours, he finally arrived at the location marked on the Jade Scroll.

”I pay my respects to the Great Elder!” A Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator walked out from a hidden place, his eyes flashing with excitement as he bowed to Great Elder Sun Ao.

This Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator named Jiang Shu was a local cultivator, but because he had accepted more stringent conditions and showed obedience to Skywalk Trading Company in the test, he was given another task.

The task was very simple: just by scouting a designated area, he could receive a considerable amount of resources.

Furthermore, once he reported useful information, he could be recalled to the headquarters by Skywalk Trading Company to receive better treatment.

A batch of Golden Core cultivators took on this task; they were all local Golden Core cultivators, mostly returning to their respective areas to scout, so their actions did not raise much suspicion.

”Tell me what you have discovered!” Great Elder Sun Ao waved his hand to interrupt Jiang Shu and commanded directly.

”Please follow me! ” Jiang Shu hurriedly pointed towards a location and said.

Great Elder Sun Ao nodded his head and followed him.

”I was using the compass by the waterfall up ahead when I noticed the compass beginning to spin continuously, consistent with the mission description, and that’s when I sent back the signal!” Jiang Shu pointed to the distant waterfall and explained.

He did not know the purpose of the compass. His task was particularly simple: to walk around with the compass until it showed an abnormal spin.

He was particularly lucky; it didn’t take him long to find this place after returning to his area of inspection.

He was already envisioning the rewards he would get, the prospect of becoming an important member of Skywalk Trading Company, and receiving a vast amount of cultivation resources; it would influence his entire life.

Skywalk Trading Company, this was a force that could make the six major sects bow their heads. Just by looking at its capability to stand against the six major sects, one could tell how powerful it was.

In the past, with Jiang Shu’s background and aptitude, it was impossible for him to join such powerful forces as the six major sects.

Without joining one of the six major sects with vast influence, one lacks sufficient resources for cultivation and thus has no future.

It was precisely this point that made him prefer to risk becoming an enemy of the six major sects and choose to join the Skywalk Trading Company to serve them; even if he wanted to serve the six major sects, they wouldn’t give him the chance.

This was his opportunity, which he truly managed to seize.

The Great Elder Sun Ao’s eyes brightened as his speed increased, and he arrived in front of the waterfall.

He took out a higher-quality compass from his spatial item, injected a stream of Spiritual Power into it, and several beams of light flashed on the compass.

”There are space fluctuations, but these fluctuations are not intense!” His face shifted expression in tandem with the compass’s light, muttering to himself.

Disappointment was more evident on his face, for with space fluctuations of this magnitude, this was not the target they were seeking.

Li Shiming watched the Great Elder Sun Ao from a distance, using ”Divine Eye Skill” and lip-reading to decipher the words spoken by Jiang Shu.

He knew he had found the right person; perhaps Jiang Shu knew little, but the Great Elder Sun Ao must be aware of the entire situation.

With a single step, he used ”Inch Cape Interworld,” positioning himself a hundred meters away from the Great Elder Sun Ao.

”Who?” The Great Elder Sun Ao’s compass suddenly emitted a particularly eye-catching beam of light, as he simultaneously sensed an energy fluctuation and immediately turned towards the direction of Li Shiming, shouting aloud.

The compass in his hand was specifically designed to detect space fluctuations, and Li Shiming’s ”Inch Cape Interworld” belonged to Divine Foot Skill, a type of space movement Divine Skill; thus, the compass reacted so vigorously.

Li Shiming did not answer him; instead, as he appeared, he waved his hand, and twelve Silver Corpses holding Third Grade Array Flags surrounded the entire area, including the Great Elder Sun Ao and Jiang Shu.

The twelve Silver Corpses he released were deliberate, immediately forming a Formation.

The Great Elder Sun Ao did not act immediately, knowing that Li Shiming’s ability to track him silently to this place meant that Li Shiming was no ordinary man.

”Master Li!” Jiang Shu exclaimed at that moment.

Although Jiang Shu was a Loose Cultivator, he harbored ambitions and had once considered selling his services to Master Li Shiming. He had even managed to obtain a portrait of Master Li but sadly, not only was Master Li not willing to meet him, but even some of the established Golden Core cultivators hadn’t had the chance to see Master Li.

But Jiang Shu would never forget Master Li’s appearance, as he was the Alchemy Master he dreamed of meeting.

Now, Master Li was before him, yet he could not feel any joy.

It was clear that Master Li had discovered his act of betrayal against the six major sects. Not to mention knowing Master Li, he was afraid he would be pursued by the six major sects in the future.

”Li Shiming, the number one Alchemy Master of the Beishu Continent, I didn’t expect you to seek me out personally!” The Great Elder Sun Ao calmly glanced at the twelve Silver Corpses that had formed a Formation and spoke in a deep voice.

After forming the Formation, the twelve Silver Corpses could no longer be sensed. However, this Formation did not appear to be an offensive one but rather an internal blockade that prevented easy breakthrough.

With his confidence, he believed that if given a chance to launch a full-powered attack, it would only take him one or two strikes to break the Formation.

Therefore, he was not worried about the Formation but instead became interested in Li Shiming after hearing Jiang Shu revealing his identity.

During his time on the Beishu Continent, the stories he heard the most about were the legendary tales of Li Shiming.

Reputed never to fail and always producing full batches of high-grade Spirit Pills, each pill extracted the greatest potential from the Spiritual Medicine.

He had even, through connections, obtained a batch of Third-grade Spirit Pills refined by Li Shiming, leaving him in awe.

Even the Xinkai Ancestor had said that recruiting Master Li to the Skywalk Trading Company would bring unimaginable immense benefits.

And now, Master Li came to him on his own initiative, presenting an opportunity to establish great merit. If he could capture Master Li and bring him back, the Skywalk Trading Company would certainly fully assist his advancement to the Nascent Soul Stage.
