Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1957: Chapter 1025: Alchemy

Five years later, Li Shiming left the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, once again leaving his phantom duplicate there.

The time needed to refine the Fifth-grade Spiritual Pill was faster than he imagined, taking only two years to complete the refinement.

Moreover, the quality of the Fifth-grade Spiritual Pills he refined reached a high level.

Upon seeing the twelve high-level Fifth-grade Spiritual Pills he refined, Li Shiming knew this time he would surely make a significant impression.

A high-level Fifth-grade Spirit Pill is something that would drive any powerful being crazy.

In fact, the matter of Sword Elder and Great Power Meng Jun inviting him to refine the Fifth-grade Spiritual Pills had long been spread out.

Sword Elder and Great Power Meng Jun formally invited Li Shiming to a meeting without deliberately concealing the matter, naturally drawing attention from the interested parties.

As long as it concerns intelligence relating to a powerful being, it is the most critical intelligence.

So, it didn’t take long for some powerful beings to learn of this matter.

The powerful beings who had good relationships with Sword Elder and Great Power Meng Jun even contacted them directly to confirm Li Shiming’s invitation to refine the Fifth-grade Spirit Pill.

The two powerful beings did not hide it, and soon the news spread among the powerful beings.

Because the matter of Li Shiming refining the Fifth-grade Spirit Pill concerned the interests of all the powerful beings, they couldn’t help but pay attention.

Li Shiming had contacted Sword Elder and Great Power Meng Jun beforehand, and this meeting was still at the Luanyang Palace.

It’s just that Li Shiming himself came here, while Meng Jun and Sword Elder still sent their avatars.

It was still the same hall, just five years later.

But five years was just a blink of an eye for the three powerful beings in the hall.

“Junior Li, how did it go?” Great Power Meng Jun asked as soon as Li Shiming sat down.

If not for fear of being rude, she would have asked this question right when she welcomed Li Shiming.

“Senior Sister Meng, here are your two Fifth-grade Spiritual Pills!” Li Shiming took out a jade bottle and handed it to Great Power Meng Jun. Seeing Sword Elder hesitate to speak, he smiled and said to him, “Sword Elder, here are your two Fifth-grade Spirit Pills!”

“All succeeded!” Sword Elder exclaimed joyfully.

When he saw the jade bottle containing the Fifth-grade Spirit Pills, he couldn’t help but show a pained expression.

Because this jade bottle was just a low-level Fourth-grade Jade Bottle, using such a bottle to store Fifth-grade Spirit Pills made him worry whether the bottle could prevent the loss of the spirit pills’ potency.

He had even planned, when Li Shiming wasn’t paying attention, to take out a top-level Fourth-grade Jade Bottle and switch the container for the Fifth-grade Spirit Pills.

He opened the bottle, and upon sensing the Spiritual Pills inside, he was dumbfounded.

Great Power Meng Jun beside him wore the same expression, also stunned while observing the Fifth-grade Spirit Pills in the jade bottle.

“High-quality Fifth-grade Spiritual Pills, Junior Li’s alchemy skills are definitely the best in the Cultivation World!” Great Power Meng Jun said excitedly.

Sword Elder also showed signs of agreement, both he and Great Power Meng Jun feeling that their investment was worth it.

The reward for this venture was of extremely high value, but Sword Elder and Great Power Meng Jun felt they had gained a big advantage.

“I have two more sets of Spiritual Medicine here!” Sword Elder took out two sets of Spiritual Medicine and gave them to Li Shiming.

“Here is mine!” Great Power Meng Jun followed by taking out a set of Spiritual Medicine and handing it to Li Shiming.

“I have some matters to attend to for a period of time, so the alchemy will need to be postponed!” Li Shiming explained to the two powerful beings.

“No rush, take your time!” Great Power Meng Jun waved her hand continuously.

Li Shiming put away the three sets of Fifth-grade Spiritual Medicine and left without staying longer.

Not long after he left, the other powerful beings on the Central State Continent sent messages inquiring about Li Shiming’s alchemy progress.

For Li Shiming’s actual body to arrive on the Central State Continent, how could it not be discovered by the other powerful beings?

Li Shiming brought his true body to the Central State Continent, entering the Luanyang Palace where the avatars of Sword Elder and Great Power Meng Jun were also located.

Although the time to refine two furnaces of Fifth-grade Spirit Pills was a bit lacking, there’s no certainty that one of the batches might not fail halfway.

“Completely refined, high quality!” Sword Elder found there were many messages to reply to, so he responded to these inquiries with the simplest words.

After receiving this message, almost all the powerful beings posed an additional question.

“Was it five-grade Spiritual Pills that were refined? And not fourth-grade Spiritual Pills?”

It’s not that the powerful beings lack knowledge, but that Li Shiming’s alchemy this time was too astonishing.

Fifth-grade Spiritual Medicine is so precious that it produces only three every three hundred years and absorbs a lot of Cave Heaven energy.

In the past, producing one successful batch out of three was the norm, with guaranteed quality being a challenge.

But look at Li Shiming, not only did he refine a full batch, but he also achieved high quality for the Fifth-grade Spirit Pills.

Powerful beings nearby were already inquiring with Sword Elder and Great Power Meng Jun about the taste of the high-level Fifth-grade Spirit Pills.

In a short time, the news that Li Shiming could refine high-level Fifth-grade Spiritual Pills spread among all the powerful beings.

The powerful beings showed their divine skills, with some of them wishing to find Li Shiming.

But at this moment, Li Shiming had only left his phantom duplicate, and after leaving the Luanyang Palace, his actual body did not return to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

This time, he was heading to the site of an ancient relic, having waited five years, he was impatient to explore the place Sword Elder referred to as the ‘Land of Death.’

He entrusted the flight to the Golden Winged Dapeng while he entered his own Grotto Heaven.

On the back of the Golden Winged Dapeng was only the ‘Daoist Golden Lotus,’ and after leaving the Central State Continent, it flew deep into the ocean.
