Chapter 941: Chapter 517: Revealing Talents

Li Shiming’s entry to the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven was set for three months later, giving him time to refine the Third Grade Spiritual Beast Essence Enhancement Pill.

Actually, he didn’t need that long, but Master Jiang Hong was looking out for him, allowing him to refine as many Third Grade Spiritual Beast Essence Enhancement Pills as possible to select the highest quality ones.

He accepted the goodwill of Master Jiang Hong and happened to have two Fourth Grade Pill Furnaces. He planned to simultaneously refine the Third Grade Spiritual Beast Essence Enhancement Pill and the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pill.

He exchanged auxiliary materials for the Third Grade Spiritual Beast Essence Enhancement Pill from the sect, especially an added Spiritual Medicine, which was crucial for absorbing the Phoenix Clan bloodline from spirit beasts.

In the days that followed, he began alchemy.

In the small room space, ’Nanming Leaving Fire’ burned within the Fourth Grade Fire Pill Furnace.

For the first time, he used ’Nanming Leaving Fire’ for alchemy, specifically to refine a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pill.

It wasn’t that he was being reckless, but upon reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, his control over ’Nanming Leaving Fire’ was extremely adept. He was one hundred percent confident that he could use ’Nanming Leaving Fire’ to replace Red Sun Spirit Fire.

The small room space itself was not large, and he stored many items that needed clearing into a Mustard Seed Ring used as a warehouse.

The Fourth Grade Fire Pill Furnace and the Fourth-grade Fire Phoenix Treasure Tripod were placed side by side. Li Shiming split his mind to control the Fourth-grade Fire Phoenix Treasure Tripod to refine the Third Grade Spiritual Beast Essence Enhancement Pill.

Meanwhile, the Fourth Grade Fire Pill Furnace was manipulated by the Fire Thunder Nascent Soul in the living dead Nascent Soul Body, controlling the Nascent Soul Body alchemy within the small room space.

The living dead Nascent Soul Body was originally specialized in the ’Nanming Leaving Fire’ Divine Skills, using the body of the living dead for alchemy made the control of ’Nanming Leaving Fire’ even more convenient.

The refinement of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pill took a full eighteen days. He truly understood why the rewards were so high; had his Spirit not been strong enough, the mere consumption of spirit over eighteen days would have required him to rest for a long time.

In contrast, refining the Third Grade Spiritual Beast Essence Enhancement Pill was quite easy. He casually refined one hundred furnaces, yielding ten Third Grade Top Spiritual Beast Essence Boosting Pills.

As for those third-grade advanced Spiritual Beast Essence Boosting Pills, he wouldn’t release them because the quality was simply too high.

Such Spirit Pills reaching the theoretical maximum easily lead to trouble.

This was the experience he gained on the Beishu Continent; he has now become much more reserved and won’t expose the full extent of his alchemy abilities.

By nearly the end of the three months, he placed six Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pills into a jade bottle. Actually, these three months, he only opened one furnace of Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pill to produce six mid-level Fourth Grade Spirit Pills.

He deliberately limited the quality of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pills; otherwise, with his alchemy skills, he would have directly refined them into advanced Spirit Pills.

As for the remaining three sets of materials for the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pill, he kept them.

Master Jiang Hong valued Li Shiming highly, waiting for Li Shiming along with Feng Lanxin, as today was the day Li Shiming would enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven.

After the last gathering, he learned that Feng Lanxin’s identity was not simple.

Feng Lanxin taking the surname Feng was for a reason. The Feng Family is a core member of the Phoenix lineage within the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, an enduring core member for ten thousand years.

Feng Lanxin intended to draw Li Shiming closer, and Li Shiming could feel this.

”Master Li, how is the refinement of the Flying Phoenix Primordial Yang Pill?” Master Jiang Hong asked with great concern.

Feng Lanxin also looked at Li Shiming attentively, as Li Shiming’s alchemy abilities would influence his status within the Phoenix lineage and the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

It would also determine how the Phoenix lineage would treat Li Shiming; for in the Cultivation World, there is no love or hate without reason. Having value is the reason for being noticed, and this is only normal.

”The first furnace failed, but after summarizing some experiences, the following three furnaces of Flying Phoenix Primordial Yang Pill were successful!” Li Shiming said with a smile, taking out a jade bottle and handing it over.

He deliberately mentioned this; if he claimed that he succeeded in refining the ’Flying Phoenix Primordial Yang Pill’ in one try, and even used the ’Hundred One-point Pill Technique’ to produce double the ’Flying Phoenix Primordial Yang Pill’, he would likely be taken by Master Jiang Hong for close examination.

One can be ahead by one step, but being ahead by a hundred steps means having the strength to protect oneself; otherwise, you’d wait for others to capture you and extract your secrets.

Master Jiang Hong’s face showed a trace of unnatural expression, remembering how after his own promotion to the Nascent Soul Stage, he stabilized his realm before starting to refine the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pill.

The sect also provided three sets of materials for Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pills; the Phoenix lineage provided one set, and all four attempts ended in failure.

It took him a whole fifteen years to finally grasp the ability to refine Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pills.

He steadied his mood, trying hard not to let Li Shiming and Feng Lanxin notice anything, and took the jade bottle from Li Shiming.

Upon seeing the ’Flying Phoenix Primordial Yang Pill’ inside the jade bottle, Master Jiang Hong could no longer maintain his expression; he showed some shock, envy, and even a bit of self-doubt.

”Is there a problem with Master Li’s ’Flying Phoenix Primordial Yang Pill’?” Feng Lanxin asked aloud, noticing the odd expression on Master Jiang Hong’s face.

Master Jiang Hong handed the jade bottle to Feng Lanxin, not wanting to speak for fear of saying something with the wrong tone.

Feng Lanxin took the jade bottle, and upon seeing the six ’Flying Phoenix Primordial Yang Pills’ and their quality inside, she couldn’t help but open her rosy lips wide, looking utterly incredulous.
