Cultivation is just so scientific!-Chapter 462 - 277 Oblivion_2

Chapter 462 -277 Oblivion_2

Third-grade Spirit Pills are different from second-grade Spirit Pills; their impact on the strength of major sects like Shushan Sect is extremely clear, and so the Shushan Sect needs to control the distribution of Third-grade Spirit Pills.

The alchemy skills of Li Shiming have taken on strategic significance for Shushan Sect, and as such, his status within the sect has risen steadily as he continues to produce Third-grade Spirit Pills.

During this period, Elder Su and Elder Ma had talked to him multiple times, all explicitly showing the sect’s emphasis on his safety.

They hinted that he shouldn’t venture out lightly, as his ability in alchemy was too important for the sect.

It is known that although the orders Li Shiming accepted seemed personal, and the rewards went to him, many Golden Core cultivators, through these transactions, had strengthened their ties with the Shushan Sect.

Even at the Golden Core level, Shushan Sect’s standing had significantly improved.

At Sword Holding Peak, where Li Shiming resided, there were set times for receiving visitors each day to discuss alchemy, some to pick up their Spirit Pills upon paying their dues, others to deliver alchemy materials.

Since the reception hours were clear, it didn’t really disturb his life.

Apart from these times, his life was almost no different from being in seclusion.

The conflict between the Righteous and Demonic forces was ongoing, but it didn’t involve Li Shiming, as long as Shushan Sect wasn’t facing annihilation, they would not send a Foundation Establishment Stage Alchemy Master into battle.

Meanwhile, Li Yuanba, his split persona, was even less likely to be given orders in the absence of Elder Jian.

Speaking of which, Elder Yin and Elder Ren, along with Ren Fei’er, had settled in Inner Yang Mountain. With Li Shiming’s invitation, the marketplace in Inner Yang Mountain developed quickly.

The construction of formations for the marketplace and preparations for selling spiritual objects were completed in just a few months.

Considering two Golden Core cultivators were residing on Inner Yang Mountain, along with the renowned Beishu Market, even if the settling infringed on some Loose Cultivators’ interests, none would seek trouble during such times.

Ren Fei’er had been extremely bored these days. Although the construction of Inner Yang Mountain didn’t require her involvement, she couldn’t simply abandon her parents to play by herself while they built their home.

Moreover, she was unfamiliar with the Beishu Continent and had no friends, and even her sister Yin Shilan had no time to keep her company.

Yin Shilan was a True Disciple of the Thousand Illusion Sect; a short visit to Inner Yang Mountain could be excused, but an extended stay would be hard to justify to the sect.

It wasn’t until the construction of Inner Yang Mountain was complete that Ren Fei’er finally got her chance.

Over this period, she had come to understand the local area. Located within the sphere of the Righteous Path, it offered high safety, even more so than her time on Sky Sea Island.

It was precisely because of this safety that when she asked to leave home, both Elder Yin and Elder Ren didn’t stop her but warned her not to stray too far.

As soon as Ren Fei’er left Inner Yang Mountain, she took out her Flying Boat and found the Shushan Sect’s gate on the map, setting her course toward it.

She was aware of her situation, so she chose a common route used by cultivators.

This route had many Loose Cultivator’s influences along the way, and with the esteemed name of Shushan Sect, safety was assured.

After several days of flight, Ren Fei’er finally arrived at the location of Shushan Sect’s gate on the map.

“Halt, who goes there?” Before Ren Fei’er could reach the gate, she was stopped by two cultivators wearing the Shushan Sect’s Law Enforcement robes.

As a cultivator not from Shushan Sect, Ren Fei’er knew she couldn’t enter on her own authority, so when stopped, she felt rather pleased.

“Fellow cultivators, I am here to find Li Shiming!” Ren Fei’er bowed politely and responded.

“Do you have an invitation?” one Law Enforcement Monk asked with a solemn tone.

Ren Fei’er was taken aback; she hadn’t expected that an invitation was necessary to meet Li Shiming.

“If there’s no invitation, you need to contact Master Li directly and get his consent!” Another Law Enforcement Monk, seeing the expression on Ren Fei’er’s face, knew she wasn’t invited and shook his head as he spoke.

Ren Fei’er truly had no way to contact Li Shiming.

The communication talisman she used on Sky Sea Island would, of course, be of no use on the Beishu Continent.

“Fellow cultivators, could you please pass on a message for me? Just say that an old friend from Sky Sea Island has come to visit!” Ren Fei’er bowed once again, her voice carrying a hint of entreaty as she spoke.

“It’s not that I don’t want to help you. It’s just that Master Li’s time is extraordinarily precious. Not to mention us, even the Golden Core Elders within the sect wouldn’t disturb Master Li without a significant matter. We don’t even have the chance to meet Master Li ourselves!” The Law Enforcement Monk spoke politely, seeing that Ren Fei’er was a female cultivator, and explained the situation to her very clearly.

Ren Fei’er felt extremely excited when she first set off for Shushan Sect from Inner Yang Mountain.

And the closer she got to the gates of Shushan Sect, the more excited she became.

After several years, she had almost forgotten about Li Shiming, who used to tell her stories every day. After arriving on the Beishu Continent and hearing about Li Shiming’s reputation, the memories she had nearly forgotten came back to her clearly.

She had prepared a plethora of words in her heart to convey to Li Shiming.

She wanted to re-establish contact with Li Shiming; she was no longer the girl without a care in the world. She had experienced the decline of the seven major sects on Sky Sea Island, hiding every day, and the hardship of scarce cultivation resources.

She didn’t want to continue living like that. Though her parents had established a foundation on Inner Yang Mountain, compared to Li Shiming, the Alchemy Master, that foundation meant nothing.

Even that foothold on Inner Yang Mountain was nothing more than something casually arranged by Li Shiming.

During the few months Ren Fei’er spent on the Beishu Continent, she heard tales of Li Shiming’s exploits all the time. Whether from sect cultivators, merchants, or Loose Cultivators, everyone knew of Li Shiming.

Whenever Li Shiming’s name was mentioned, every cultivator showed a look of admiration and aspiration.

But now that she had reached the gates of Shushan Sect, she couldn’t even get a chance to meet Li Shiming, let alone discuss the other thoughts in her heart.

Ren Fei’er felt somewhat unwilling to give up; she stayed in the town outside Shushan Sect, hoping to meet Li Shiming if she kept vigil there.

Staying in Gushan Town for one night with her heart full of thoughts, she wasn’t exactly a Loose Cultivator; she had a good number of Spirit Stones and could afford to stay in one of the better inns in town.

The next morning, when the inn’s waiter brought her Spirit Food, Ren Fei’er was looking out the window and saw a Flying Boat passing high above Gushan Town, the cultivators inside radiating an incredibly strong aura.

Both of Ren Fei’er’s parents were Golden Core cultivators, so she naturally sensed the Golden Core aura emanating from that boat.

“Noble guest, that’s a Golden Core Elder visiting Master Li. Every day around this time, Golden Core cultivators pass by here!” The waiter explained with a smile when he saw Ren Fei’er paying close attention to the Flying Boat in the sky.

“How do you know they are Golden Core cultivators?” Ren Fei’er glanced at the waiter, who seemed to be only at the Qi Refining Second Level. She didn’t believe the waiter could sense the cultivator’s aura inside the Flying Boat.

“Master Li is an Alchemy Master, someone who can concoct Third-grade Spirit Pills. Apart from Golden Core cultivators, what other cultivators would have the qualification to meet his excellency?” The waiter spoke with a hint of pride and self-satisfaction.

From the waiter’s manner, one might mistakenly think he had a close relationship with Li Shiming.

“You can go now!” The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Ren Fei’er felt as if these words were directed at her. She waved her hand to dismiss the waiter.

The waiter bowed and left, seemingly unaware that his words might have offended someone.

Ren Fei’er stared blankly at the Flying Boat that was moving farther away, feeling the last glimmer of hope in her heart break at that moment.

“Big brother!” She called out softly, her eyes filled with nostalgia, ending with a sigh of helplessness.

That day, she took a Flying Boat back to Sunshine Mountain, never to bring up the matter of finding Li Shiming again.
