Cultivation is just so scientific!-Chapter 1603 - 848: The Ceremony

Li Shiming originally thought that coming here as a ’phantom clone’ and not in his real body would not attract much attention. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

But he underestimated his own influence, aside from the great cultivators, he was one of the most powerful cultivators who could walk freely, and an alchemy master who could consistently produce high-grade spirit pills for great cultivators.

Either of his two identities alone was enough to influence the Cultivation World’s situation.

His formidable combat strength allowed him to resist the external forces of any major power, while his alchemical skills could change the future of a major power.

So just the day after he moved into Fengqi Palace, great cultivators from the major powers came to visit.

Even though this was Luanyang Palace, Luanyang Palace could not block the enthusiasm of these major forces.

Originally, some major forces had sent great cultivators to the Dongqi Continent, but unfortunately, meeting Li Shiming was not easy, at most they could meet the great cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Now with the opportunity to meet Li Shiming directly, no major power would miss it.

Although it was just an energy clone of Li Shiming that came, in some sense, the energy clone was sufficient to represent Li Shiming’s status.

First, the great cultivators from the Central State Continent came to visit, of course, those great cultivators from below the major sects were not allowed in by Luanyang Palace, only great cultivators from the major powers had the chance to enter Luanyang Palace.

On this occasion, Luanyang Palace gained considerable favors just from the matter of paying respects to Li Shiming, which can be said to have been quite a profit.

Li Shiming was indifferent, with his reputation growing louder, he couldn’t always rely on Central State Commerce to take on alchemy commissions.

Now he could fully organize his own network.

The main hall on the first floor of Fengqi Palace became his temporary reception room, and Luanyang Palace prepared enough of the fourth-grade items for the reception.

Li Shiming was not polite to Luanyang Palace, he understood that Luanyang Palace had gained many benefits from him, and it was only right for them to provide these reception items.

In the days to come, he met with various great cultivators, both familiar and unfamiliar.

When he said familiar, this familiarity did not come from his real body, but from his clone, Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba was a cultivator of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, a major power, and had many more opportunities to interact with other major powers than the real body.

The most interactions Li Shiming had with any major power were through battles, and most of the cultivators from these major powers he battled with had already fallen at his hands.

Twenty days later, before Yin Shilan’s entrance ceremony officially began, Li Shiming had already met with all the great cultivators of the major powers from the Central State Continent.

These major powers too knew he came as an energy clone and did not directly talk about alchemy commissions but discussed the alliance with the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Moreover, the terms for these major powers to ally with the Ten Thousand Beast Sect were very lenient, in many aspects, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect gained benefits.

Li Shiming did not act on his own, the discussions of the ’phantom clone’ with the major powers were communicated to Grandmaster Hu through Great Cultivator Luo Pei, with Hu and other great cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect deciding together.

Speaking of Great Cultivator Luo Pei, over the years, the gigantic size of the Heavenly Ghost had been controlled, and the surplus spirit energy was managed, at least the Heavenly Ghost would not be unable to control Great Cultivator Luo Pei due to the large body.

The ’phantom clone’ left Li Shiming’s side, even the five late-stage clones also left, while Li Shiming was once more in closed-door cultivation, only through Great Cultivator Luo Pei could there be communication with the outside world.

Li Shiming’s ’phantom clone’ did not use the energy-converted formal robe but wore a very formal pure white robe, with a small Luanyang Palace emblem on the chest of the pure white robe.

This pure white robe was sent by Luanyang Palace, an identity emblem for the Female Cultivator Couples of Luanyang Palace, not usually needed to be worn, but for important ceremonies in Luanyang Palace, such a robe should be worn to represent status.

Palace Master Gu led Li Shiming, leaving Fengqi Palace, heading towards a main hall inside Luanyang Palace.

"Mr. Li, this is Luanyang Palace, it is only open to male cultivators during important ceremonies!" Palace Master Gu introduced to Li Shiming with a smile.

Her attitude toward Li Shiming had changed significantly; previously, she was angry because Li Shiming had easily broken through the challenge she had prepared meticulously.

But in these twenty days, every major power visiting Li Shiming needed her permission, bringing her quite a bit of benefit, and letting her witness Li Shiming’s formidable influence, greatly changing her view of him.

A capable cultivator naturally differs from ordinary cultivators.

"I did not expect Lan’er’s admission to Luanyang Palace to require so much preparation!" Li Shiming said with a smile.

According to Master Li’s explanation, a usual entrance ceremony only required a few days of preparation, mainly giving Yin Shilan time to purify her mind and teaching her some things needed to know for the ceremony.

But this time, it took a full twenty days to start the ceremony, which puzzled Li Shiming greatly.

"That is because Mr. Li’s influence is too great, Yin Shilan’s entrance ceremony received many requests to observe, and the palace had to handle these matters, thus delaying the time!" Palace Master Gu explained with a helpless shake of her head.

As they spoke, they had already arrived at the entrance of Luanyang Palace, with Palace Master Gu guiding Li Shiming through the gates.
