Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 951: Chapter 522: Taking a Master

”Grandmaster Hu, I am willing to become your disciple!” Li Shiming replied with excitement.

Becoming the disciple of this Grandmaster Hu has the greatest benefit of finding a powerful backing.

The incident of him killing Chen Zhou in the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven might bring some trouble, and he worries that his Alchemy Master might not be able to handle it.

Although no cultivator can prove that he killed Chen Zhou, the Cultivation World always has some unreasonable powerful beings who believe whatever they want without needing any evidence.

By taking Grandmaster Hu as his teacher, no matter who stands behind Chen Zhou, without solid evidence, they cannot touch him.

”Stop calling me Grandmaster, you need to change the way you address me!” Grandmaster Hu said with a smile.

He liked Li Shiming more and more; being able to take him as a disciple before other Great Cultivators noticed him made him extremely happy.

”Master!” Li Shiming immediately changed his address.

”After a few days, I will invite some old friends to witness, and let other cultivators know of this matter!” Grandmaster Hu nodded and said.

”Yes, Master!” Li Shiming bowed and replied.

”These are materials for two Nascent Soul Late Stage Spirit Pills, take them to practice!” Grandmaster Hu thought for a moment, took out a storage bag, and tossed it to him.

Li Shiming felt the heaviness of the storage bag, materials for Nascent Soul Late Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pills are not ordinary Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicine.

The alchemy heritage of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect includes related knowledge.

Without any demands, Grandmaster Hu gave him the materials for two Nascent Soul Late Stage Spirit Pills to practice, such care moved him deeply.

”Master, rest assured, I will definitely succeed in refining them!” Li Shiming nodded heavily and said.

”Don’t feel too pressured, every Alchemy Master is made by piles of materials, if you succeed in refining one out of the two batches, no matter the quality I can get materials from other Great Cultivators so you can keep practicing!” Grandmaster Hu chuckled and waved his hand.

Li Shiming carefully put away the storage bag, bid farewell to his master, and returned to his grotto; he settled the Illusion Spirit Jiao and the chick in the Spiritual Pet Room.

The chick certainly can’t be called by this name anymore; it’s given a new name ’Little Feng’, which is a nickname. He plans to give it a more fitting name once Little Feng grows bigger and shows its talent ability.

As for the Illusion Spirit Jiao, he also changed its name to ’Illusion Spirit Dragon.’

Since advancing to Fourth Grade, it is no longer a jiao but a true dragon, a Five-clawed Dragon.

He sent messages to Master Jiang Hong and Feng Lanxin, informing them that he successfully contracted a Phoenix-type spiritual pet.

These two care greatly about him, so he naturally needed to inform them of the outcome.

Master Jiang Hong didn’t reply, but Feng Lanxin soon sent a message back and even personally came to his grotto.

”Greetings, Senior Sister Feng!” Li Shiming welcomed Feng Lanxin with a smile to the pavilion.

He offered Feng Lanxin Fourth Grade Spirit Tea, truly treating her as a friend.

”Master Li, where is your Phoenix-type spiritual pet?” Feng Lanxin asked curiously.

She remembered that when Li Shiming entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven, Grandmaster Hu had gifted Li Shiming a piece of Red Gold Phoenix eggshell fragment, coupled with the fact that Li Shiming himself is a highly skilled Alchemy Master. Although she hasn’t seen his Third Grade Spiritual Beast Essence Enhancement Pill, she can imagine its quality is exceptional.

With such resources to attract Phoenix-type spirit beasts, as long as luck isn’t catastrophically bad, it’s almost guaranteed to contract a decent Phoenix-type spiritual pet.

”Little Feng, come over!” Li Shiming called towards the direction of the grotto.

Feng Lanxin’s face reddened slightly; her childhood nickname was Little Feng.

She wasn’t angry; no one had called her by that nickname for over six hundred years, so naturally, no one knew.

Though she and Li Shiming were cultivators of the same rank, she regarded Li Shiming as a junior because he was so young, he could be her great-grandson.

As she was thinking, Little Feng sensed her master’s summons, hopped out from the Spiritual Pet Room and kept hopping out of the grotto towards the pavilion.

Feng Lanxin’s mouth gaped wide, completely losing any semblance of ladylike demeanor, she instantly recognized Little Feng’s species.

In the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven, the Phoenix type is actually a step above the Dragon type spirit beasts.

The strongest Dragon type spirit beasts have bloodline concentrations close to a Four-clawed Dragon, but the Phoenix type spirit beasts are much higher due to the existence of the Red Gold Phoenix.

Although the Red Gold Phoenix is the lowest grade among phoenixes, it is a true phoenix species; despite being low, its bloodline is the purest Phoenix bloodline.

Though Red Gold Phoenix exists within the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven, their rebirth generally requires thousands of years to occur, and their numbers are extremely few.

Due to the limitations of the Cave Heaven, there were never more than four Red Gold Phoenixes, making the chances to contract a Red Gold Phoenix extremely scarce.

Historically, the cultivators who successfully contracted a Red Gold Phoenix all had great fortune; five sect predecessors once contracted Red Gold Phoenixes, among whom three advanced to become Great Cultivators.

Precisely because of the difficulty in contracting Red Gold Phoenix, the internal powers of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect between Dragon type and Phoenix type remain balanced, preventing Phoenix type dominance.

If it were truly easy to contract a Red Gold Phoenix, the Phoenix type would have long overpowered the Dragon type within the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

”This is a Red Gold Phoenix!” Feng Lanxin exclaimed in shock.

No need to doubt, she could ascertain this Little Feng in front of her is indeed a Red Gold Phoenix.
