Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1153: Chapter 623: Secrets

”Senior Sister Li, it’s lucky that Luanyang Palace only accepts female cultivators; otherwise, I wouldn’t even have the youngest disciple left!” Grandmaster Hu said to Master Li with a smile.

When Li Shiming heard the name ’Luanyang Palace,’ he couldn’t help but feel curious.

This was definitely not a power from the Dongqi Continent, as he had never heard of ’Luanyang Palace’ and didn’t know what kind of power it was.

However, judging from Master Li’s cultivation level, ’Luanyang Palace’ had to be at least stronger than the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Even if ’Luanyang Palace’ only had Master Li as the Great Cultivator, her strength alone would be enough to suppress the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

”Shizhen, I called you over firstly to pay respects to Junior Master Li, and secondly to make some Spiritual Tea!” Grandmaster Hu continued, speaking to Li Shiming.

Li Shiming could tell that Grandmaster Hu held Master Li in high regard.

Although Grandmaster Hu was Li Shiming’s master, he never had him make tea to entertain guests before.

Moreover, no matter how close the friend was, unless they were a sect cultivator, Grandmaster Hu would never bring them into the estate within Four Symbols Cave Heaven.

There were dedicated places for hosting guests within the sect, and that was where guests were meant to be entertained.

”Yes!” Li Shiming responded.

He took out the Fourth Grade Spiritual Tea he personally roasted, along with the Fourth Grade Tai Chu Treasure Tripod, which was his best Fourth Grade Pill Furnace.

He activated his Red Sun Spirit Fire and used the Fourth Grade Spiritual Spring to fully stimulate the spirit within the Fourth Grade Spiritual Tea inside the Tai Chu Treasure Tripod, brewing a pot of Spiritual Tea.

Even the well-experienced Master Li quietly observed his actions, inhaling the fragrance of the Fourth Grade Spiritual Tea emitted from the Tai Chu Treasure Tripod, a delighted smile appearing on her face.

”Junior Master Li, Master, please!” Li Shiming said, placing the pot of prepared Fourth Grade Spiritual Tea in front of the two Great Cultivators with a respectful bow.

”Senior Sister Li, try this top-grade Fourth Grade Spiritual Tea. My disciple here, when it comes to roasting and brewing tea, if he claims second place, no cultivator would dare claim first!” Grandmaster Hu said proudly as he poured a cup of Spiritual Tea for Master Li.

In front of Master Li, Grandmaster Hu seemed at a disadvantage, so being able to show a bit of superiority in front of her greatly improved his mood.

Although Master Li was slightly eager inwardly, her good manners led her to gracefully raise the teacup and take a gentle sip.

”Junior Brother Hu, I’d almost consider taking your disciple to Luanyang Palace just for this Spiritual Tea!” After a while, Master Li set down her teacup and said with a light laugh.

Her words, half-joking and half-serious, momentarily made Grandmaster Hu lose his smile, unsure of what to say.

”Haha, I won’t take away what others cherish, but I will need some of this Spiritual Tea to take back!” Master Li said with a light laugh, waving her hand upon seeing Grandmaster Hu’s expression.

”That won’t be a problem. I’ll have it ready for you when you leave!” Grandmaster Hu quickly replied with a laugh.

Li Shiming stood quietly on the side. He had never seen Grandmaster Hu so at a loss before; he was somewhat hesitant to listen further, fearing that Grandmaster Hu might later trouble him.

”Senior Sister Li, your estate is already prepared. We will relocate a mountain peak next to my estate for you!” Grandmaster Hu continued.

Li Shiming was truly stunned. Not only was Master Li visiting, but she would be residing here for an extended period.

This was unprecedented. Even though Li Shiming hadn’t been at the Ten Thousand Beast Sect for very long, he had read many sect chronicles and knew the previous occurrences within the sect.

Only Great Cultivators of the sect were qualified to reside in the estates at the center of Four Symbols Cave Heaven. How could this Master Li have the Ten Thousand Beast Sect specially move a mountain peak to the center of Four Symbols Cave Heaven?

”I’ve heard that the Yuqing Sect intends to involve themselves with Dongqi Continent this time. If they wish to upset the power balance, they might break their own teeth!” Master Li said lightly, seemingly unbothered by the affair of the estate.

”The White Sun Sect was destroyed, the Yuqing Sect has occupied the Da Yue Mountain Range. Thank goodness Senior Sister came in time; otherwise, who knows when the Yuqing Sect would target the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. Just thinking about that day the Sun Concealing Sect’s gate was attacked, I don’t want the Ten Thousand Beast Sect to face such an outcome!” Grandmaster Hu expressed his helplessness upon mentioning the Yuqing Sect.

Being a Great Cultivator himself, he had personally witnessed the terrifying prowess of Master Wang He, and Master Wang He was just one among the many Great Cultivators within the Yuqing Sect. Above Master Wang He, there were even stronger presences.

Of course, it’s impossible for the Yuqing Sect to deploy forces beyond Great Cultivators to interfere in Dongqi Continent.

If they were to deploy forces beyond Great Cultivators, it would truly upset the power balance and provoke the response of superpower forces with presences beyond Great Cultivators, leading to chaos across the entire cultivation world.

Unless absolutely necessary, Great Cultivators were the strongest forces superpowers could mobilize. Deploying forces beyond Great Cultivators would have consequences that could lead to dangerous outcomes.

Li Shiming stood quietly on the side, listening to the two Great Cultivators discussing secretive matters.

The two Great Cultivators didn’t seem to have any intention to hide these matters from Li Shiming. As the direct disciple of Grandmaster Hu, he was also qualified to learn about some secrets.

It’s just that normally no one would willingly talk about these secrets, but when faced with them, they wouldn’t stop him from learning.

Li Shiming finally understood the relationship between Luanyang Palace and the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. The Ten Thousand Beast Sect was a sect born out of Luanyang Palace, which had its own unique characteristic of only accepting female cultivators.
