Today's Shushan Sect's sect formation is a bit special. A light and shadow passage leads directly from the outside of the mountain gate to a peak next to Tianmu Peak, making this seemingly ordinary mountain stand out.
The sect's formation gathered the light of the formation on the walls of the passage specially opened for this celebration. This was a sign of respect for the guests and to avoid disturbing the caves of other monks.
Of course, there are hardly many idle monks in Shushan Sect today. Except for the monks who are in retreat, all the monks are mobilized. Some are responsible for patrolling, some are responsible for entertaining, some are responsible for welcoming guests, etc.
The celebration of the alchemy master is an extremely important event even for a large sect like Shushan Sect.
Luxurious flying boats entered the Shushan Sect's gate one after another along the light and shadow passage. The marks on these flying boats showed the identities of their owners, who were all golden elixir monks from the three major sects of the Righteous Path and various major forces.
Even the monks of the Shushan Sect, many monks saw so many golden elixir monks in person for the first time.
Around the mountain peak where the celebration was held, flocks of fairy birds were flying, which were brought from all over the sect to entertain guests.
The entire mountain peak has been rearranged from bottom to top, with various spiritual flowers and plants forming a gorgeous picture.
Elders Su and Ma stood beside Li Shiming on a flat area on the top of the mountain, welcoming each guest.
Li Shiming is very unfamiliar with these guests. Every guest will exchange contact information with him, which will be his future contacts.
Some are golden elixir monks known to Elder Su and Elder Ma, some are important allies of the sect, and some are important figures in various forces.
Li Shiming saw an ordinary emerald green flying boat, and a smile appeared on his face. This was completely different from the polite smile he had maintained before, this time it was a smile from the heart.
"This is the Yin Shilan you mentioned, she is worthy of you!" Elder Su saw Yin Shilan coming off the emerald flying boat and said to Li Shiming through voice transmission.
Elders Su and Ma did not step forward, leaving Li Shiming to greet them.
When Li Shiming stepped forward, he saw Liang Yexuan who got off the flying boat. He nodded slightly to Liang Yexuan, then ignored Liang Yexuan and came to Yin Shilan.
"Lan'er, come and meet my master!" Li Shiming said to Yin Shilan with a smile.
Of course Yin Shilan knew what this meant. She was a little nervous, but she nodded slightly and followed Li Shiming to the two masters without objection.
Liang Yexuan knew the special significance of this, so she was a few steps behind.
"Yin Shilan has met Elder Su!" Yin Shilan bowed to Elder Su and said, then turned and bowed to Elder Ma: "Yin Shilan has met Elder Ma!"
"Shiming, treat others well!" Elder Su smiled, accepted the gift, and ordered Li Shiming.
"Worthy of you, Shi Ming!" Elder Ma said with a smile as well.
Elder Su took a spiritual weapon robe from a female cultivator and gave it to Yin Shilan. Elder Ma gave a bottle of spiritual elixir. Although this gift is nothing at the level of the golden elixir, it is definitely a good gift during the foundation building period. .
Elder Su and Elder Ma both have other disciples, and they have standards for this kind of gifts. This is also a rule formed by the inheritance of large sects for thousands of years.
"Thank you, master!" Li Shiming smiled and thanked Yin Shilan.
What he thanked was not a gift, but the attitude of the two masters. The two masters accepted Yin Shilan.
"Yin Shilan, stand next to Shi Ming and help welcome the guests!" Elder Su looked at the two people standing together and ordered with a smile.
Just as he was talking, Master Luo's flying boat also stopped, and Master Luo stepped out of the flying boat.
This is a formal celebration. All monks, regardless of their status, use flying boats to come. This is a sign of respect for the master.
"Elder Su, you are a disciple trying to steal my body!" Master Luo heard Elder Su's instructions and answered with a smile.
"Elder Luo, I haven't seen him for a long time. How dare I steal your disciple? Shi Ming will be half of your disciple from now on!" Elder Su replied with a smile.
"That's true!" Master Luo simply replied without saying anything more.
She was still jealous of Elder Su. Li Shiming brought Elder Su's life-saving elixir to join Elder Su's sect, snatching away Li Shiming who was originally planning to join the Thousand Fantasy Sect.
Otherwise, the current scenery belongs to Qian Huan Sect and belongs to her.
So she was actually a little critical when she opened her mouth, but when she saw Elder Su's smile, she didn't even think about talking.
"Shiming, are you in the late stage of foundation building?" She suddenly saw Li Shi's clearly revealed realm and couldn't help but ask strangely.
She knew that Li Shiming was in the middle stage of foundation building not long ago, so how could he be in the late stage of foundation building now?
"Elder Luo didn't know something. Shi Ming is a boy who is cautious by nature. He is also a person with deep blessings. He has been hiding it since he improved his realm. After being discovered by his master, he gave him a lesson and made him understand that he was in the sect. Because of your status, you don’t need to be so careful!" Elder Su explained with a smile.
What he said was actually meant for the Golden Core cultivators not far away. For the Golden Core cultivators, they could hear the words clearly without any special perception.
At this age, Li Shiming is already in the late stage of foundation building, and he is indeed too conspicuous.
However, after Elder Su moved out of Ancestor Fan, even those present who had any thoughts about Li Shiming's rapid improvement in realm gave up their thoughts at this time.
Even if Li Shiming's status as an alchemy master is not considered, one still needs to consider the cost of offending a Nascent Soul Ancestor who has spoken out to protect Li Shiming.
"The Sword Comes"
Elder Su's words showed Ancestor Fan's attitude. As long as they were monks in the Northern Shu continent, no monk dared to ignore Ancestor Fan's protection.
"Shiming, this is my gift!" Yin Shilan delivered a jade box to Li Shiming and said softly.
"This is mine!" Liang Yexuan also jumped out and handed over a jade box.
Li Shiming took the jade box with a smile, and opened it under Yin Shilan's expectant eyes. The three-grade spiritual tea inside was emerald green, with a total of fifteen pieces, none of which were fried.
But it made Li Shiming's eyes light up. For him, the unfried third-grade Lingcha leaves were better than the fried Lingcha leaves.
The spiritual teas he roasts are all of the highest quality, able to demonstrate the quality of the spiritual tea to the greatest extent.
Although Master Luo prepared this gift for Yin Shilan, he also prepared this gift after hearing from Yin Shilan that Li Shiming was good at tea frying.
"I like it very much. I'll give you half of it after it's fired!" Li Shiming said with a smile.
"Look at my gift!" Liang Yexuan reminded from the side.
Li Shiming smiled and opened the other jade box, revealing a third-grade elixir inside.
"Liang Yexuan, this is so precious!" He said in astonishment.
It's not that this gift is extremely precious among all the gifts given by the guests. In fact, most of the gifts given by the Jindan monks who came this time were third-grade elixirs.
Third-grade elixirs are indeed precious, but Jindan monks still have the ability to obtain them from dangerous places. Some third-grade elixirs that they cannot use are given to the alchemy master as gifts. This not only establishes a friendship with the alchemy master, but also creates a friendship.
At least when I contact Li Shiming later and ask for private refining of the third-grade elixir, I won't be easily rejected.
But Liang Yexuan is a foundation-building monk, so this gift is heavy. Li Shiming only thought that Liang Yexuan would give a normal gift for a foundation-building monk, which would be slightly more expensive than an ordinary gift at most.
"This is a gift prepared by Elder Liang, sent by Liang Yexuan!" Master Luo explained at the same time.
"Liang Yexuan, thank Elder Liang for me!" Li Shiming understood and said to Liang Yexuan with a smile.
You can't blame him for not inviting Elder Liang. Elder Liang is not a friend of Elder Su and Elder Ma. He didn't know Elder Liang before, so he never considered sending an invitation letter to Elder Liang.
"Shi Ming, this is my gift!" Master Luo also took out a storage bag and handed it over and said.
If it can be packed in a storage bag, it means that the gift is either large in size or in large quantity.
Li Shiming took the storage bag, entered the storage bag with his spiritual mind, and found that there were eighteen formation flags.
This is a third-grade formation flag made by the formation master. It can be said that among all the gifts received so far, this gift is the most important.
Eighteen formation flags are almost equivalent to the value of a magic weapon, and they are not compared to ordinary magic weapons, but to the top of the magic weapons.
Although Li Shiming's formation Star Light Sea is only one step away from being promoted, he has rarely been exposed to third-grade materials before this realm, and it is even more unnecessary to think about using third-grade materials to make a formation flag.
With eighteen third-grade formation flags in hand, he was confident that when he met the early Jindan monks outside the mountain gate, he would use the eighteen third-grade formation flags to protect himself, which would be enough to hold on until the sect's Jindan monks arrived.
Of course, this premise requires a sufficient formation level to match, otherwise these eighteen third-grade formation flags will be just decorations.
This is the most suitable gift for Li Shiming and will help him greatly.
"Master Luo, this gift..." He was stopped halfway by Master Luo with a wave of his hand.
"Shiming, this gift is also for Shilan. Only when you have the ability to protect yourself can Shilan rest assured!" Master Luo glanced at Yin Shilan and said.
Yin Shilan's face turned red when she said this. Elders Su and Ma were both curious about the gift. Li Shiming had just checked the gift, but he used his spiritual mind to check it in the storage bag and did not take it out.
"In addition, I also have a little selfishness. I also prepared ninety formation flags in exchange for a 'Yanzhuan Dan'!" Master Luo stared into Li Shiming's eyes and said softly.
She didn't want to say it in public, but she knew very well that if she didn't say it now, who knew how many 'Zhu Yan Dan' Li Shiming still had in his hands.
She saw a lot of female golden elixir cultivators arriving, and these female golden elixir cultivators were not supposed to be here.
Their appearance can only mean one thing, that is, they are here for the 'Zhu Yan Dan'.
As a female cultivator, Master Luo knows the attraction of the 'Beauty-Resisting Pill' to female cultivators. For a 'Beauty-Resisting Pill', a female cultivator can pay a price that a male cultivator cannot imagine.
Master Luo was worried that if the other female cultivators of the Golden Pill offered to redeem it first, Li Shiming might exchange the 'Zhu Yan Pill' in his hand.
As for the 'Zhu Yan Dan' from the Beishu Trading Company, according to rumors, it is said that it has been spotted by a Nascent Soul female cultivator from the Beishu Trading Company. As long as Li Shiming reveals what spiritual object he has spotted, The Nascent Soul Female Cultivator Ancestor will be the first to exchange it.
Even though Master Luo suddenly took out one hundred and eight third-grade formation flags, which seemed extremely valuable, it was extremely uneconomical to exchange them for just one 'Zhu Yan Dan'.
But in the eyes of a Yuanying female cultivator ancestor, these are nothing at all. As long as they are not fourth-grade spiritual objects, the Yuanying female cultivator ancestor can easily get them.
Only then did Li Shiming realize that the 'Zhu Yan Dan' he had sold to Liang Yexuan before seemed to be sold cheaply. He glanced at Liang Yexuan.
"I've already eaten!" Liang Yexuan quickly avoided his gaze and hid behind Yin Shilan and whispered softly.
"Master Luo, please stay a little longer after the celebration is over!" Li Shiming said to Master Luo with a smile.
"It's natural, you want to talk to Shi Lan more!" Master Luo, of course, understood that there was a promise in his words and replied with a smile.
The arrival of each guest can be said to have given Li Shiming a new understanding of the world of immortality.
In the world of immortality he had seen before, a third-grade spiritual object was extremely precious and extremely rare.
But after becoming an alchemy master, looking at these guests, all the gifts were third-grade spiritual objects.
"Shopkeeper Lai Da, welcome!" Li Shiming saw Shopkeeper Lai Da getting off a flying boat with the logo of Beishu Trading Company. He smiled and stepped forward to greet him along with the two masters and Yin Shilan.
He has a public-private relationship with Shopkeeper Lai Da, and he is also one of his rare golden elixir friends, so the enthusiasm he shows is sincere.
Elder Su and Elder Ma also understood this, so after expressing their welcome, they stood aside to communicate with other monks, leaving Li Shiming here.
"Call me Shopkeeper Lai Da. Call me Brother Lai. I'll call you Brother Shi Ming. If you treat me as a friend, just call me that!" Shopkeeper Lai Da is a businessman, and he knows how to close the relationship with each other.
"Brother Lai said so, so I will obey it!" Li Shiming agreed without any politeness.
His status as an alchemy master has indeed reached the status of a golden elixir stage monk, or even exceeded it.
But he also understood that compared with late-stage Jindan monks like Shopkeeper Lai Da, his status was still quite different.
"Brother Shi Ming, I didn't expect you to become an alchemy master so quickly!" Shopkeeper Lai Da said with emotion.
"Everything is luck. I didn't expect it to go so smoothly!" Li Shiming said modestly.
"Are these my younger siblings? I came out in a hurry this time and didn't bring any gifts. This talisman can be regarded as a meeting gift for my younger siblings!" Shopkeeper Lai Da took out a talisman from his body and gave it to Li Shiming who was standing next to him. Yin Shilan said.
Although Yin Shilan was rich, she was still a little embarrassed to accept the talisman when she saw it.
It was a life-saving talisman for a foundation-building monk. Not all true disciples could have it. Only the true disciples who valued it most in the sect would get one.
"Lan'er, please accept Brother Lai's kindness!" Li Shiming was not polite. The elixir he refined for Beishu Trading Company could be worth a lot of such talismans.
