Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1181: Chapter 637: Calm

”Master Li, I truly wish to bring you back to Luánfèng Palace!” Great Cultivator Li said with a sigh as she looked at Li Shiming who delivered the fourth-grade Spirit Pill.

Naturally, she couldn’t really take Li Shiming away, not to mention that the Ten Thousand Beast Sect would never let him go, even if they did agree, Luánfèng Palace would not accept a male cultivator into their ranks.

The alchemical skills of Li Shiming had been introduced long ago when Grandmaster Hu suggested having Li Shiming refine pills for her.

Grandmaster Hu had mentioned that Li Shiming could ensure the quality of the Great Cultivator’s fourth-grade Spirit Pill to reach mid-fourth grade, with no errors whatsoever.

Although Great Cultivator Li knew that Grandmaster Hu wouldn’t lie, she still found it hard to believe.

One must understand that refining a Great Cultivator’s fourth-grade Spirit Pill requires more than forty days, during which any anomaly in the pill furnace could cause the quality of the fourth-grade Spirit Pill to drop.

Thus, accomplishing a full batch of Great Cultivator’s fourth-grade Spirit Pill is considered quite good, let alone ensuring quality.

But upon receiving the fourth-grade Spirit Pill refined by Li Shiming, Great Cultivator Li discovered that Grandmaster Hu was actually being humble with his words.

The fourth-grade Spirit Pill in hand reached a quality close to the high-grade fourth grade, nearly indistinguishable from high-grade fourth-grade Spirit Pills.

Such alchemy skills made even Great Cultivator Li change her address to Li Shiming, referring to him as ’Master Li,’ acknowledging Li Shiming’s alchemy level and showing respect for him.

”Senior Sister Li, if you really want to refine pills, feel free to come over anytime. I guarantee that Shizhen won’t refuse!” Grandmaster Hu immediately chimed in.

He feared that Great Cultivator Li might really take Li Shiming away, as the pill refining for several Great Cultivators of the sect relied entirely on Li Shiming.

”Master Li, I have two more sets of materials for you to refine, consider this as my token of appreciation and as compensation for your pill refining!” Great Cultivator Li took out a storage bag and a jade scroll and said.

She would not miss the chance of having such an alchemy master like Li Shiming; even if originating from a superpower like Luánfèng Palace, the resources for Great Cultivators in her hand were also limited.

Having a highly skilled alchemy master is essentially maximizing the utilization of limited resources.

Li Shiming accepted the two sets of materials and the jade scroll, his divine sense scanned through the jade scroll.

Inside the jade scroll was an elixir recipe, named ’Flying Phoenix Chao Yuan Pill.’

’Flying Phoenix Chao Yuan Pill’ is a fourth-grade Spirit Pill specifically prepared for the Red Gold Phoenix, capable of enhancing it to the maximum extent.

If conditions permit, the ’Flying Phoenix Chao Yuan Pill’ could serve as food for the Red Gold Phoenix, allowing it to grow faster.

Li Shiming needed it the most; Little Feng is now at the fourth-grade lower stage, and even if Li Shiming refined the third-grade Spiritual Beast Essence Enhancement Pill into a top-grade Spirit Pill, it wouldn’t have much effect on the fourth-grade Little Feng.

The primary material for the ’Flying Phoenix Chao Yuan Pill’ is Chao Yuan Grass, a fourth-grade spiritual medicine with relatively large production, not difficult to procure.

”Thank you, Junior Master Li!” Li Shiming bowed in gratitude.

The value of this ’Flying Phoenix Chao Yuan Pill’ elixir recipe far surpasses any fourth-grade materials; according to his judgment, this ’Flying Phoenix Chao Yuan Pill’ recipe is definitely a secret of Luánfèng Palace.

Besides the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, Red Gold Phoenix is also owned by Luánfèng Palace, and Luánfèng Palace’s research into Red Gold Phoenix is more profound than that of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

”I have gained an advantage; when I return to the sect, I will find a way to compensate you!” Great Cultivator Li felt the compensation was insufficient, pondering what to say.

She couldn’t let Li Shiming feel shortchanged, as it would be troublesome to ask him for alchemy in the future.

Though Grandmaster Hu promised that Li Shiming wouldn’t refuse to refine pills for her, given Li Shiming’s alchemy skill, the orders for his alchemy might be plenty, and if Li Shiming wanted to delay, it might be years before another batch.

”Senior Sister Li, will you stay for a few more months, or return to Luánfèng Palace?” Grandmaster Hu asked with a smile.

”Junior Brother Hu, are you trying to send me away?” Great Cultivator Li playfully widened her eyes and laughed.

”I wouldn’t dare, I’d welcome you with open arms, never intending to send Senior Sister away!” Grandmaster Hu quickly shook his head.

”Yuqing Sect has already withdrawn from the Dongqi Continent, but their retaliation surely won’t stop. Once they handle the West Yan Continent affairs, they’ll return to Dongqi. Yuqing Sect suffered such a huge loss this time, they won’t let it go!” Great Cultivator Li said solemnly.

For over a month, the Dongqi Continent was utterly peaceful, too peaceful for cultivators to adapt.

This was mainly because Yuqing Sect relinquished the Da Yue Mountain Range, withdrawing all their cultivators from the Dongqi Continent.

Of course, Yuqing Sect had no choice but to retreat after suddenly losing five Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivators and sixteen Nascent Soul Early Stage Thunder Cultivators, causing severe damage to the Yuqing Sect’s power on the Dongqi Continent.

Additionally, Master Wang He and Great Cultivator Duan Zhang realized that Luánfèng Palace had intervened in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s security affairs, making them reevaluate the influence of the four great sects.

Since there was Great Cultivator from Luánfèng Palace at the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, might the other three great sects also have similar reinforcements?

The retreat of Yuqing Sect from Dongqi Continent was partly because of their significant losses in Thunder Cultivators, severely weakening their forces on the continent.

On the other hand, Yuqing Sect still needed more time to gather intelligence, at the very least to grasp the true strength of the four great sects.
