"Fellow Daoist Yuan, Tianwen Sect is not the top sect in the mainland?" Li Shiming asked curiously when he heard Yuan Xi explain the distribution of power in the Eastern Qi Continent.
In his opinion, Tianwen Sect was extremely powerful. Look at the ancestor Luo Wei and the ancestor Han Xiao who were killed by him, confronting Tianxing Trading Company and the six major sects in the Northern Shu continent.
He originally thought that such a powerful Tianwen Sect must be the top sect in the Eastern Qi Continent, but he did not hear about Tianwen Sect from Yuan Xi.
"Tianwen Sect, that is a second-level sect. They lack great monks and cannot be compared with the four major sects!" Yuan Xi didn't know how Li Shiming knew about Tianwen Sect, but he still explained.
"Great monk?" Li Shiming heard a title that he didn't know the meaning of.
"Great monk is the special name for the ancestors in the later realm of Yuanying. Great monk is the foundation of the great sect!" Yuan Xi said with infinite yearning in his eyes.
Yuan Xiao woke up from understanding the formation. He looked at Li Shiming with eyes full of admiration.
As a formation master, Li Shiming's casual guidance gave him a small breakthrough in his understanding of formations.
He was very sure that Li Shiming must be a master of formations to be able to give him guidance at will.
When leaving, Yuan Xi glanced at Li Shiming and found that Li Shiming had no intention of recruiting a flying boat, so he took out a flying boat.
Li Shiming had some ideas. The style of his flying boat magic weapon was that of the Northern Shu continent. He tried to expose the magic weapon of the Northern Shu mainland style as little as possible to avoid causing trouble to himself.
Yuan Xi's flying boat looks ordinary, but it is also a magic weapon.
Although Li Shiming looked down on the flying boat magic weapon made of third-grade wooden materials, the speed was acceptable.
Yuan Xi asked Li Shiming to sit in the cabin, but Li Shiming refused. This was not Li Shiming's flying boat. Sitting in the cabin would hinder his observation of the surroundings.
In the previous eleven months, Li Shiming had not encountered many big monsters. This did not mean that there were few big monsters in the ocean, but that Venerable Huijing was on board his voyage ship.
Although the combat power of Venerable Huijing is the weakest among the ancestors of Yuanying, the aura of Yuanying can still deter those third-level monsters who want to get close.
Later, when Li Shiming acted alone, he used the 'Bu Bu Bu Sheng Lotus' to rush on the road, and added a variety of methods to hide himself. Not to mention that it was difficult for the third-level demon to find him. Even if he was discovered, the third-level demon could not catch up with him. .
Li Shiming and Yuan Xi's father and son took a flying boat together, and not long after that, they were attacked by several third-level monsters.
Li Shiming's response was very simple. He fired a bolt of lightning and killed the third-level demon.
Yuan Xi took the body of the third-grade demon to the flying boat for decomposition. Looking at his smile, you could tell that he was in a good mood.
Of course, after Yuan Xi got the benefit, he tried his best to tell Li Shiming everything he knew.
Li Shiming didn't care about the corpses of these third-grade demons. Given his level, these resources were of no use to him.
Yuan Xiao had always wanted to ask Li Shiming for advice on the formation, but he was intimidated by Li Shiming's aura and did not dare to ask.
Li Shiming did this intentionally, and the relationship was not very familiar. If he hadn't taken the opportunity to understand the situation in Dongqi Continent, how could he be with them.
In any place in the world of immortality, knowledge is priceless. His formation knowledge was collected by himself with a lot of effort, how could he teach it to others.
"How come there are so many third-grade demons in this place?" After two days of sailing, Li Shiming found something wrong and asked Yuan Xi.
The third-grade great demons encountered in the past two days were more densely packed than normal. The third-grade great demons also have territories, but the third-grade great demons encountered on the way did not seem to have territorial awareness.
"A few hours further, you can see the beast luring array arranged by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. These third-level monsters were attracted. Most of them will become the resources of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and a small number will be lured here. Pass through the gap in the beast formation!" Yuan Xi replied pointing forward.
Li Shiming took a breath. As an alchemy master, he knew that demon pills could be used to make alchemy.
The demon elixir in the early stage of the Great Demon can be used to refine the third-grade elixir used by monks in the early stage of the Golden elixir. The corresponding demon elixir in the middle and late stages of the Great Demon can be used to refine the third-grade elixir in the middle and late stages of the Golden elixir.
Considering the vastness of the ocean, there are almost countless third-grade monsters in it.
Using the beast luring formation to continuously hunt down third-grade demons, how many demon elixirs can be obtained, and how many golden elixir monks can be cultivated.
No wonder Yuan Xi tried his best to go with Li Shiming. If he had returned with Yuan Xiao along the way, he might have spent the entire journey on the run.
"Since the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has set up a large formation to lure the beasts, don't they care if you block the front and hunt the big monsters?" Li Shiming asked again.
"Other than us monks who are in urgent need of resources, who would risk their lives to come to this sea area to hunt the big monsters? Even the Ten Thousand Beast Sect looks down upon the big monsters we hunted!" Yuan Xi thought of his previous teammates, He couldn't help but sigh and said.
He looked at Li Shiming with grateful eyes. If this unknown powerful monk hadn't rescued him, he might have perished, even his son Yuan Xiao would have been the same.
How could he still get so many corpses of the great demon when he returned? After returning this time, his son could exchange for some resources to advance to the golden elixir.
A few hours later, Li Shiming saw the beast luring formation. Under his 'divine vision', spiritual power lines spread out on the sea, forming huge circular formation areas.
He saw with his own eyes a third-level demon approaching the center of the beast-luring formation, and was easily killed by three golden elixir monks working together with three spiritual pets.
This should be a disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Each Golden Core cultivator has a spiritual pet, making each Golden Core cultivator equivalent to the combat power of two ordinary Golden Core cultivators.
These three golden elixir monks were all in the early stage of the golden elixir, and they killed the spiritual beasts in the early stage of the great demon. Looking at the ease, the team before Yuan Xi could not compare at all.
When Yuan Xi's team dealt with the early stage spirit beasts of the Great Demon, not only did they have seven Golden Core cultivators, but they also needed the cooperation of formations, and there was even a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator among them.
But even so, they were still cautious when hunting the early stage spirit beasts of the Great Demon, and the battle process was not easy.
This is the difference between casual cultivators and sect cultivators, no matter which continent it is.
Joining a sect means better resources and skills. The knowledge that casual cultivators have access to is very narrow and cannot be compared with that of sect monks.
Yuan Xi controlled the flying boat magic weapon and passed through the circular range of the two beast-luring formations.
In the next few days, the number of third-grade great demons decreased sharply, and it was rare to encounter one for two or three days.
After the seventh day of the voyage, I never encountered a third-grade demon again.
Li Shiming stood on the flying boat magic weapon, and he could already feel the breath of the mainland. The sea breeze not only smelled of the ocean, but also had a faint smell of plants and earth.
After more than eleven months of sailing, he was finally able to touch land, which made him eager to reach the Dongqi continent.
"Shall we say goodbye here?" Li Shiming said to Yuan Xi calmly.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your help!" Yuan Xi bowed and saluted.
When he looked up again, Li Shiming in front of him had turned into a stream of light and flew into the distance.
"I don't even know the name of this senior. I wonder where he came from?" Yuan Xiao looked at the direction in which Li Shiming disappeared with some disappointment.
He was disappointed that he had lost hope of asking Li Shiming for advice. Until now, he did not know Li Shiming's name.
"Shut up!" Yuan Xi scolded.
He looked nervously into the distance, fearing that Li Shiming would come back.
"Remember, we have never met him, he is not something we can talk about!" He confessed in a deep voice.
"Yes, father!" Yuan Xiao nodded quickly when he saw his father was angry.
Li Shiming used the Thunder Escape in the 'Yu Qing Lei Canon', which was a bit slower than the Shenzu Tong, but it was enough to compare with the full strength of the clone Li Yuanba's Sword Escape.
Along the way, he discovered a lot of monks, not just Golden Core monks, but also many Foundation-building monks who were forming teams to hunt spiritual beasts. The targets of the Foundation-building monks were naturally second-grade spiritual beasts.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect's beast-luring formation in front blocked most of the third-grade great demons. In addition, there was a long distance behind where Jindan monks formed a team to hunt down the third-grade great demons that passed through the beast-luring formation. Foundation-building monks don't need to worry about the appearance of big monsters in this sea area.
Of course, this sea area is not safe. As long as there are monks, there is no such thing as safety.
However, no monk dared to intercept Li Shiming. His late-stage thunder element golden elixir aura was enough to make any monk below the Nascent Soul stage unwilling to provoke him.
Li Shiming was thinking about his plan while flying. He needed to advance to the Nascent Soul stage first, and then he would consider sending his clone across the ocean to Sword Intention Chongxiao Pavilion.
He has five golden elixirs, because of this he needs more resources to advance to the Nascent Soul.
This requires him to stay in his old profession, obtain a large amount of resources through alchemy, and at the same time find a way to use these resources to exchange for resources for promotion to Nascent Soul.
The Eastern Qi continent is much richer than the Northern Shu continent. At least Yuanying promotion resources can be traded. There will be auctions of Yuanying promotion resources every few years.
Most of the resources in Li Shiming's hands were from the Northern Shu Continent. If he wanted to redeem the resources for promotion to Nascent Soul without revealing his identity, it was best to use the resources earned in the Eastern Qi Continent to redeem them.
One day later he saw land. The land covered with green vegetation made him very familiar.
He was not one of those old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years. After nearly a year without seeing land or green vegetation, he still missed it very much.
As he accelerated, lightning flashed across his body, and soon he appeared on the coast.
He took a long breath of fresh, earthy-scented air, and then he found his direction and headed towards Wuqing Mountain.
Wu Qing Mountain, a gathering place for casual cultivators, is controlled by the Wu clan. The Wu clan has two Nascent Soul Ancestors sitting in charge, providing a safe place for the casual cultivators.
What he likes about Wuqingshan is that Wuqingshan is the largest resource trading place for casual cultivators within a radius of 100,000 miles, and there is even trading of fourth-grade resources there.
A family of casual cultivators has two Nascent Soul Ancestors sitting in charge, which is almost comparable to a large sect in the Northern Shu Continent.
The most important thing is that the Wu family has an excellent reputation, at least that's what Yuan Xi said.
One day later, Li Shiming saw Wu Qingshan.
Only when I saw Wuqing Mountain with my own eyes did I understand how huge this mountain is.
This is definitely not a mountain in the ordinary sense. The mountain with a height of 10,000 meters is shrouded in a huge protective formation.
This mountain-protecting formation does not prevent monks from entering, but monks who come here for the first time must go to the bottom of the mountain to receive a token, and only with the token can they enter the interior of Wuqing Mountain.
Li Shiming landed next to a building at the foot of the mountain. The aura of the Eastern Qi Continent was already much richer than that of the Beishu Continent, and the aura directly increased several times near Wuqing Mountain.
He couldn't help but sigh at the environment for cultivating immortals in the Eastern Qi Continent. The concentration of aura here was similar to the aura environment in the major sects of the Beishu Continent.
Like the spiritual energy in the mountain gate of Shushan Sect, it is a collection of spiritual energy in a large area near the mountain gate. At the same time, it is also because the ancestors of Yuanying in the past generations have continuously transferred their spiritual veins to the mountain gate, so that it has reached its current scale.
This Wuqing Mountain does not have the foundation of a large sect with more than ten thousand years of history. Such a rich spiritual energy can only be because the spiritual energy here is naturally rich.
Li Shiming paused outside the building for a moment and then walked through the door.
An old monk in the middle stage of foundation building was dozing off. He opened his eyes after sensing Li Shiming's breath.
There haven't been many activities in Wuqing Mountain recently, so it's a bit more leisurely here.
"Senior, do you want to apply for a temporary token or a long-term token?" The old monk discovered that it was a golden elixir monk and quickly stepped forward and asked with a smile.
"I want to live for a long time and need a cave with rich spiritual energy!" Li Shiming said lightly.
The old monk's eyes lit up, he was a golden elixir monk who was planning to live there for a long time.
"Senior, look, here are all the caves that are available!" He activated a formation, and the phantom of Wuqing Mountain appeared next to it, with the caves marked on it.
"This first floor can only be rented at the Nascent Soul stage. The cave you want with stronger spiritual power can only be rented on this second floor. Look at this cave. It was originally rented by a late-stage Jindan monk. The cave is just thirty years overdue, so it has just been taken back. This is also the best cave on the second floor that has not been rented out yet!" The old monk introduced it very carefully.
"How many spiritual stones are needed to rent this cave?" Li Shiming took a look and saw that, just as the old monk said, this cave was closest to the first level of the top of the mountain, he asked aloud.
When it came to spiritual stones, he had not traded spiritual stones for many years.
The Beishu continent is lacking in resources, and when high-level resources are no longer traded by spirit stones, the main reason is that the number of spirit stones far exceeds the total amount of high-level resources, and spirit stones cannot be used as the trading currency for high-level resources.
But it is obvious that the Eastern Qi Continent still uses spirit stones as its common currency, but it is not known whether third- and fourth-grade resources are also traded in spirit stones.
