Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 2027: Chapter 1060: Encounter

”Great Power Xiang Liang, thank you to the four fellows for your life-saving grace!” Great Power Xiang Liang bowed and saluted Li Shiming, expressing his gratitude.

He did not only thank Li Shiming, for he sensed the presence of Li Yuanba behind Li Shiming, who possessed Mid-Stage Great Power strength.

”We just accepted the rescue mission from the Immortal Alliance!” Li Shiming smiled and waved his hand as he spoke.

He knew that if he hadn’t come, other Great Powers would have taken this mission.

Perhaps other Great Powers coming to fight would not end the battle as quickly; perhaps Great Power Xiang Liang might suffer a bit, but eleven ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ would not be able to kill Great Power Xiang Liang.

Great Power Xiang Liang could still hold on for a while if he hid in a Grotto Heaven.

Of course, retreating into the Grotto Heaven would have dire consequences. With the spatial abilities of ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’, they would find the Cave Heaven Anchor Point Carrier left outside and open a space door to attack the Grotto Heaven.

In such a situation, no matter if rescue cultivators arrived later, Great Power Xiang Liang’s losses would be enormous.

”Fellows, thank you all for the rescue, please come into the Immortal Residence to rest for a bit!” Seeing Li Shiming not taking credit, Great Power Xiang Liang made an inviting gesture with a smile.

”Then we’ll impose!” Li Shiming was curious about the Immortal Residence and did not refuse Great Power Xiang Liang’s kind offer and nodded in agreement.

He was indeed very curious about the Immortal Residence, as it is a node of the Falling Immortal Formation. After having seen the core of the Falling Immortal Formation at the Immortal Alliance, learning about the nodes would allow the IBMz15 to gather more related data.

The four followed Great Power Xiang Liang inside the Immortal Residence, where the interior space was vast, utilizing a space-diffusing formation.

As soon as Great Power Xiang Liang entered the Immortal Residence, he released dozens of cultivators.

These cultivators bowed to the Great Powers and immediately got busy.

”These are the cultivators following me. I was worried they couldn’t withstand the aftermath of the battle, so I kept them in the Grotto Heaven. I’ve asked them to prepare some welcoming items!” Great Power Xiang Liang explained with a smile.

He guessed that Li Shiming and the others were recently arrived Great Powers in the Land of Fallen Immortals, so he elaborated a bit more.

Li Shiming noticed that although these cultivators were not strong, they had excellent talent.

The cultivation environment in the Land of Fallen Immortals was exceptional; if one were to cultivate here long-term, the achievements would not be low.

He also considered whether, on a future return, he might bring some Ten Thousand Beast Sect cultivators over.

However, considering he did not yet have a permanent residence, he decided to wait until he had one before considering this.

”Does such ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ attacks happen often?” Li Shiming asked curiously, thinking about the attack.

”’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ attacks happen frequently, but they usually do not affect me here. More Immortal Residences that get attacked are near the Divine Domain area!” Great Power Xiang Liang answered, shaking his head.

He also felt unlucky for his encounter, as this time’s expenditure of contribution points used up many years’ worth of points from guarding this place.

At the same time, he felt quite fortunate; under such conditions, nearly no extra losses occurred, just some contribution points spent.

”Mr. Li, with your strength, you can join an Immortal Residence closer to the Divine Domain; that way not only will you gain more contribution points, but you might also have unexpected rewards like today!” He continued.

Based on Great Power Xiang Liang’s words, Li Shiming and the others understood that most Great Powers taking guarding tasks were relatively ordinary in strength.

Truly powerful Great Powers went to the area where the Immortal Domain and Divine Domain intersected.

Whether several Great Powers guarded one Immortal Residence together, or hunted ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ in that area, it all yielded more benefits than staying in the rear.

Of course, it was also more dangerous; at least Great Power Xiang Liang was aware that his strength meant staying at rear Immortal Residences.

Even staying at rear Immortal Residences has its dangers, as evident this time.

Anywhere in the Land of Fallen Immortals, encounters with ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ are possible.

Great Power Xiang Liang had already planned; next time, he would find a way to guard Immortal Residences with transmission formation arrays. Though the revenue was lesser, the safety was absolutely assured.

Even if there’s an ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ attack, as long as a price is paid, reinforcements would arrive in the shortest time.

Welcoming items were brought up, all being fourth-grade top spiritual fruit.

Such welcoming items, if in Central State, would be considered excellent hospitality; but among Great Powers, they are ordinary items.

As long as a Great Power is willing, opening up a small planting space in a Grotto Heaven, it is completely feasible to grow top-grade fourth-grade spiritual plants oneself.

Nonetheless, judging by Great Power Xiang Liang’s attitude, Li Shiming did not think he was being slighted, it simply showed this Great Power Xiang Liang wasn’t wealthy.

After leaving the Seventy-three Immortal Residence, Li Shiming realized they were far from the Immortal Alliance; most frustratingly, if they wished to return to the Immortal Alliance, they could no longer use transmission formations for free.

Using a transmission formation would require spending contribution points.

Activating a transmission formation once required consuming one hundred contribution points.

Their combined harvest from this expedition was only two hundred contribution points; although only one transmission was needed for the four of them, it would still use up half of their earnings this time.

Considering there was nothing urgent at the Immortal Alliance, Li Shiming decided not to waste contribution points.

Li Yuanba and Li Taibai transferred their contribution points to Li Shiming, and seeing the two transfer points to Li Shiming, Yin Shilan also followed, taking out her Identity Jade Disc to transfer her contribution points to Li Shiming.
