Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1731: Chapter 912: Unexpected Incident

”Guiyuan Sect? I have no enmity with the Guiyuan Sect, why do you do this?” Li Shiming looked at the slightly changed expression of Great Cultivator Mu Zhang and continued to ask.

He mentioned the Guiyuan Sect because he sensed the nature of the Spiritual Energy within Great Cultivator Mu Zhang. Moreover, he had obtained some ancient texts from the Guiyuan Sect and had some knowledge of their Cultivation Techniques.

Coupled with the fact that Great Cultivator Mu Zhang was very close to him, the judgment he made at this distance was quite accurate.

”You are mistaken, I am not a disciple of the Guiyuan Sect; everyone here knows that I am from a Loose Cultivator background!” Great Cultivator Mu Zhang, disturbed by Li Shiming’s words, hurriedly explained.

”Once some things are done, regret comes too late!” Li Shiming said coldly.

He no longer paid attention to Great Cultivator Mu Zhang, and with a flash of his figure, he arrived next to Yin Shilan.

”Senior Li is too concerned about Junior Sister Yin, he can’t even bear this short separation!” one of Yin Shilan’s fellow female cultivators said with a light laugh.

Only she said this, as the other fellow cultivators sensed the chilling aura emanating from the phantom avatar, and although they didn’t understand what happened, they all became tense.

Yin Shilan looked at the phantom avatar. She knew Li Shiming very well, knowing that Li Shiming wouldn’t disturb her participation in Senior Sister Yu’s gathering without reason.

”Leave first, something’s wrong here!” the phantom avatar said in a low voice.

”Senior Li, do you mean that I intend to harm Shilan? She and I are like sisters and fellow disciples, even for the rules of Luanyang Palace, it’s impossible to harm Shilan!” Senior Sister Yu showed an unhappy expression upon hearing the words of the phantom avatar.

No matter how noble Li Shiming’s stature, regardless of the vast difference in strength and status between them, but for Li Shiming to act in such a manner during an important event of her life made her unable to refrain from speaking out.

On the side, Great Cultivator Mu Zhang gritted his teeth, casting out multiple spells, and then the Formation on Moon Viewing Peak changed, releasing an isolating energy from the Formation that tightly surrounded Moon Viewing Peak.

Then the figures of five Great Cultivators flew out from various places on the peak, all hiding their appearances, and even their auras were covered by some method.

The expressions of the more than ten female cultivators on Moon Viewing Peak, as well as some other guests, changed drastically, quickly moving aside to evade.

”Mu Lang, you...” Senior Sister Yu was so angry at the scene that she couldn’t even finish her sentence while pointing at Great Cultivator Mu Zhang.

”Mr. Li, we invite Yin Fairy as a guest, you can go back and bring two hundred High-level Spirit Pills, and we will release Yin Fairy!” Great Cultivator Mu Zhang ignored Senior Sister Yu but looked at the phantom avatar and said.

Li Shiming was momentarily at a loss for words.

He had speculated many possibilities but never expected it to be for money.

Perhaps the name and identity of this Great Cultivator Mu Zhang are all fake, and as for the other five Great Cultivators, judging by the aura they vaguely reveal, it could be concluded that they are all Great Cultivators of superpowers.

The Great Cultivators cultivated by superpowers have many differences from ordinary Great Cultivators. Li Shiming, who often dealt with Great Cultivators, could see the difference at a glance.

He initially thought that some formidable figure was covertly acting to capture Yin Shilan and thereby coerce him.

But he never imagined that it was just six Great Cultivators attempting to obtain a large number of High-level Spirit Pills from him.

Li Shiming’s alchemical prowess was unmatched, and given his consistently exceptional Alchemy abilities, every batch of Great Cultivator Spirit Pills he refined would inevitably produce an additional High-level Spirit Pill.

Over the years, the amount of Great Cultivator Spirit Pills he had crafted was vast, and based on the consumption rate a Great Cultivator needs for daily cultivation, after advancing to a Peak Great Cultivator, he would still have many High-level Spirit Pills left.

These six Great Cultivators estimated conservatively that Li Shiming must have at least two hundred High-level Spirit Pills.

According to intelligence from superpowers, Li Shiming’s relationship with Yin Shilan was such that they were inseparable, which led to their idea of holding a hostage to exchange for High-level Spirit Pills.

For this setup, they approached Great Cultivator Mu Zhang, who had two identities, one being a Loose Cultivator identity arranged by the sect, which is the identity of Great Cultivator Mu Zhang.

Great Cultivator Mu Zhang deliberately approached Senior Sister Yu, using various methods to win her over.

A Nascent Soul Middle Stage Great Cultivator showing considerable promise; Senior Sister Yu, who was only in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage herself, would remain at this level if lacking some fortuitous encounter.

Even though Great Cultivator Mu Zhang came from a Loose Cultivator background, during his interactions with Senior Sister Yu, the Mid-Stage Nascent Soul resources he held convinced her of his substantial wealth.

Although slightly opportunistic, Senior Sister Yu was still willing to form a Daoist couple with Great Cultivator Mu Zhang.

With the relationship between Senior Sister Yu and Yin Shilan, inviting Yin Shilan to participate in the celebration gathering wasn’t an issue.

To even put Yin Shilan at ease, they chose the location for the gathering near Luanyang Palace.

Everything proceeded as designed, attracting Yin Shilan to Moon Viewing Peak without a hitch. The only unexpected factor was the appearance of Li Shiming’s phantom avatar.

However, the six Great Cultivators accounted for this too. Under Great Cultivator Mu Zhang’s intentional control, no Great Cultivators were invited to this gathering, and the phantom avatar of Li Shiming couldn’t withstand a simultaneous attack from six Great Cultivators.
