"Senior Brother Li!" Lu Heng appeared next to Li Shiming and said hello with a smile after leaving the mountain where his master, Master Hu, was.
Due to Lu Heng's status as a registered disciple, he was not eligible to participate in this ceremony, so he dealt with some trivial matters outside.
"Junior Brother Lu is in trouble today!" Li Shiming responded with a smile.
"No trouble, this is what I should do!" Lu Heng quickly answered with a smile.
In fact, he could leave after the apprenticeship ceremony, but he still waited here until Li Shiming came out just to have more contact with Li Shiming.
If I miss this opportunity, I don’t know how long it will be before I have close contact with Li Shiming next time.
He and Li Shiming flew towards the exit of the cave. The space gates in and out of the Four Elephants Cave have been solidified. Li Shiming does not live in the Four Elephants Cave and has no way to control the Four Elephants Cave to send him out directly.
"Junior brother Lu, I only met the second senior brother today. I haven't met the senior brother yet. I wonder where the senior brother is?" Li Shiming took the opportunity to ask.
Brother Hu only introduced him to his second senior brother, Yue Shan, and did not tell him anything about his senior brother, so he could not take the initiative to ask.
"You are talking about Senior Brother Zhong Qiang. He has not returned to the clan for a long time. There has been no news about him for more than a hundred years!" Lu Heng looked around and then said using voice transmission.
Li Shiming was startled when he heard the news.
Although the world of immortality has little concept of time, it is normal to be away for several years or decades, but if no news has been sent back for more than a hundred years, it is very likely that something happened.
No wonder Brother Hu didn't introduce him to senior brother Zhong Qiang, because he probably knew that senior brother Zhong Qiang was in big trouble.
The two of them parted ways after leaving the Sixiang Cave. Lu Heng happily looked at the name added to the identity jade disk. If he needs it in the future, he can use the identity jade disk to directly contact Li Shiming. This is what he wants.
The fact that Li Shiming was accepted as a formal disciple by Brother Hu was only heard from gossips in the past. After this apprenticeship ceremony, it was finally confirmed.
Now many familiar monks came to visit and send congratulatory gifts.
In the next few days, he received many monks from the sect and received many gifts.
This did not delay him much time. Anyway, his exercises were all running automatically, and the elixir refining was also controlled in the computer room space, and he was still refining two furnaces of elixir at the same time.
The day finally arrived and he was finally free. The only people in his sect who were qualified to congratulate him were Yuanying monks. Although there were many Yuanying monks in the sect, there were only so many who were really free.
His alchemy ability allowed him to have a wide social circle, which allowed him to spend a few days to receive him.
Li Shiming was sitting on a chair in the hall. Since having Xiaofeng, his cave has become much more lively.
When there was only the Phantom Dragon, the Phantom Dragon seemed lonely because it had no playmates, and it would normally lie down and rest quietly.
After Xiaofeng arrived, the Phantom Dragon also transformed into a small body and played with Xiaofeng.
"Chirp!" Xiaofeng jumped to the hall and shouted softly around Li Shiming.
Li Shiming couldn't help but shook his head and laughed. He knew through the contract that he had eaten up all the third-grade top spiritual beast increasing pills he left for Xiaofeng.
Calculating the time, it was almost the same. Although Xiaofeng was still young, his blood was pure enough and he could absorb the power of the elixir very quickly.
A spiritual pet of this top bloodline can quickly survive its infancy as long as it has enough resources.
Promotion after childhood also requires resources, but following Li Shiming, Xiaofeng does not need to worry about the resources before the fourth level. They are definitely sufficient to squander at will.
Take the third-grade top spiritual beast Zeng Yuan Dan as an example. In order to refine enough third-grade top spiritual beast Zeng Yuan Dan as soon as possible, he took out the third-grade pill furnace that he had not used for a long time.
Anyway, it was enough to use a third-grade pill furnace to refine third-grade spiritual pills. After several days of continuous refining of ten third-grade pill furnaces, he had some more third-grade top spiritual beast-increasing pills.
Of course, there are even more by-products of third-grade high-level spirit beast increasing pills. Normally, it takes ten furnaces of refined spiritual pills to produce a top-level spiritual pill. The higher the grade, the fewer furnaces required for a top-level spiritual pill.
Li Shiming couldn't release these by-products. The quality was so good that he didn't care whether they were wasted or not.
At least if there are sufficient resources, he will try his best to prepare third-grade top spiritual beast Yuan-enhancing Pills for Xiaofeng and Phantom Dragon.
Li Shiming's consciousness moved slightly, and he placed twenty third-grade top spiritual beast increasing pills in Xiaofeng's space ring.
At this moment, the Phantom Dragon also arrived, also circling around him.
"You, you are already at level 4 and you still look like a child!" Li Shiming couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
The phantom dragon is indeed not that big. After playing with Xiaofeng, he forgot that he was a fourth-grade creature and shrank his body like a young spiritual pet.
Although Li Shiming said this, he still gave the phantom dragon the same twenty third-grade top-level spiritual beasts' Yuan-increasing Pills, which were originally prepared for them.
After settling Xiaofeng and Phantom Dragon, he checked his silver corpse again.
He has thirteen silver corpses, the most important of which is the silver corpse Nanming. The other silver corpses all have three heads and six arms.
There wasn't much he could improve in strength in a short period of time, and the best option was to advance from Silver Corpse to Gold Corpse.
You can also directly refine a golden corpse, using the corpse of a Nascent Soul monk to refine a golden corpse, but it requires a lot of fourth-grade corpse refining resources, which is far less convenient than promoting a silver corpse to a golden corpse.
In addition, the risk of promoting a silver corpse to a gold corpse is much smaller than directly refining a gold corpse.
The refined golden corpse needs to face the Nascent Soul-level calamity when its foundation is at its weakest, and the success rate is pitifully low.
When a silver corpse is promoted to a golden corpse, the foundation of the silver corpse itself is very solid, which is more conducive to facing the catastrophe.
Most of the golden corpses are cultivated since childhood and have a good foundation at each level, so that they can successfully survive the catastrophe and become golden corpses.
The proportion of golden corpses that have been successfully directly refined is extremely low.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect does not have a very advanced corpse refining technique, and there is not much bonus in this regard. If you want to directly refine a golden corpse, you still need to wait until you obtain the top corpse refining technique in the future.
His eyes fell on Silver Corpse Nan Ming. The fourth-grade corpse refining resources in his hands were not many. If they were all piled on a silver corpse, it would increase the success rate of promotion a lot.
Although he was a little worried, he still made up his mind to let Silver Corpse Nanming be promoted to Golden Corpse first.
The silver corpse Nanming is an extremely special refined corpse. When it is refined into a bronze corpse, it possesses the magical talent of "Nanming Lihuo".
Therefore, Silver Corpse Nanming has been carefully cultivated by Li Shiming, and relatively more resources have been invested in it.
If Silver Corpse Nan Ming cannot be promoted to Golden Core, the possibility of other Silver Corpses being promoted is even lower.
Li Shiming took out the identity jade disk and sent an application to the sect to use Dujie Mountain.
His status is now so high that he passed the application without a cup of tea after sending it out.
He turned around and flew towards Dujie Mountain, using his identity jade disk to enter Dujie Mountain.
Once again he saw this place full of traces of lightning strikes. Not long after he joined the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, it was already the third time he had entered this place.
The frequency with which he enters this place is probably not comparable to that of many monks in the sect.
Li Shiming used fourth-grade corpse refining materials to draw a corpse refining formation on the ground, and summoned Silver Corpse Nanming and placed it in the center of the formation.
Silver Corpse Nanming has already reached the peak of Silver Corpse. In theory, when Li Shiming is promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, the shackles on Silver Corpse Nanming's realm have also disappeared, and it can be promoted to Golden Corpse at any time.
But without resources, it is extremely difficult for a Silver Corpse to be promoted to a Golden Corpse.
Really naturally formed golden corpses are extremely rare in the world of immortality, because in the process of being promoted to a golden corpse, a silver corpse not only requires fourth-level corpse refining resources, but also has to face the most terrifying catastrophe.
Sky thunder has an added bonus to the damage done to the refined corpse. Sky thunder has the effect of eradicating all evil spirits. Refining corpses are evil spirits.
Not to mention that there are no corresponding means, even with the assistance of monk resources, the chance of a silver corpse being promoted to a golden corpse is pitifully low.
Li Shiming took out a golden corpse core, which was obtained as a reward for alchemy in Beishu Continent.
This batch of golden corpse cores were all obtained from the cave.
He is still unable to enter the space with golden corpses in the cave sky, and cannot obtain golden corpse cores and other resources from the cave sky. Fortunately, these golden corpse cores are there.
He put the golden corpse core into Silver Corpse Nanming's mouth. Silver Corpse Nanming instinctively felt that the golden corpse core was beneficial to him, so he swallowed the golden corpse core in one gulp.
Li Shiming's consciousness entered Silver Corpse Nanming's body. After the Golden Corpse Core was swallowed, a large amount of energy continued to decompose and flowed towards Silver Corpse Nanming's body.
At the same time, a rune with an unknown function in the core of the golden corpse also entered the body of the silver corpse Nanming with the energy and became a part of the body of the silver corpse Nanming.
He did not interfere with the changes in Silver Corpse Nan Ming's body. Regardless of the power of this rune, it was a good thing.
This means that Silver Corpse Nanming will have one more innate ability. It would be better if this innate ability was engraved into the corpse core during the process of being promoted to Golden Corpse. In that case, Silver Corpse Nanming's newly added innate ability would be Blessed by the corpse core, the power is greatly increased.
Silver Corpse Nanming had already reached the peak of Silver Corpse. So much fourth-level corpse refining energy suddenly appeared in his body, and his body was quickly filled to capacity.
Li Shiming paid attention to every change in Silver Corpse Nanming. Why did he choose the corpses of extremely talented monks when choosing materials for corpse refining? It was to give the corpse refining a stronger potential.
This potential is manifested on a specific level, in addition to the speed of absorbing corpse refining energy, it is the ability to continuously advance.
If the talent of the corpse-refining material itself is very poor, the original monk can only be promoted to the golden elixir stage at most. Then no matter how many fourth-level resources you invest, the chance of the corpse-refining being promoted to the golden corpse can be despairingly small.
Instead, choose the corpses of extremely talented monks as corpse refining materials, and the potential will be reflected in the corpse refining practice and promotion. As long as the corpse refining is given certain fourth-grade resources, its potential can be exerted and it can enter the promotion state.
Among all Li Shiming's silver corpses, the one with the best talent is definitely the silver corpse Nanming.
Of course, the rest of the silver corpse talents are not bad either. Almost all of his silver corpses were obtained from Elder Lu of Senluo Sect.
Even though Elder Lu is just a golden elixir monk, as a powerful elder of Senluo Sect, the corpse refining materials that he can fancy are all the cultivation seeds of Tianlinggen.
Theoretically, the probability of Tianlinggen being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage is very high. Even though Elder Lu is not yet a Nascent Soul cultivator, the corpse refining materials he chooses are all targeting golden corpses.
The reason why Elder Lu had to prepare so many corpses for refining was because there was nothing he could do about it. The risk of refining corpses to survive the calamity was too great. Only by preparing more corpses could he feel at ease.
But the potential of these silver corpses is not as good as that of Silver Corpse Nanming.
Silver Corpse Nanming is the spare body prepared by Patriarch Weng Zhao for himself. The qualifications of this spare body are even higher than that of Patriarch Weng Zhao's original body.
You must know that once the Yuanying monk uses body seizing, there will be no chance to replace the third body. This spare body is the Yuanying monk's last hope.
Therefore, when Yuanying monks choose spare bodies, they carefully choose the best monks they can find.
The most important thing is that Silver Corpse Nanming is not only a backup identity, but also has a body with Ancestor Weng Guang's Yuanying. The Yuanying merges with this body to further strengthen the body's talent.
It can be said that if this body had not been refined into a corpse, the chance of being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage according to normal cultivation would be very high.
Now this potential has naturally been passed on to the corpse-refining Nanming. The potential of the corpse-refining Nanming, at least to be promoted to the golden corpse, is far superior to other silver corpses.
In Silver Corpse Nanming's body, the Corpse Pill suddenly emitted violent energy fluctuations, and at the same time, the aura on its body was no longer stable.
Li Shiming was not surprised but delighted. Silver Corpse Nanming lived up to his high expectations, and a golden corpse core made him promoted.
As expected, it had the highest potential. He thought he needed to use a few more golden corpse cores, but he didn't expect that one golden corpse core would be effective.
The Corpse Pill in Nanming's body shrank sharply, and the energy of the fourth-grade corpse-refining materials in the Corpse Refining Formation under him was continuously extracted into its body and converged towards the Corpse Pill.
In addition, the energy of the golden corpse core in its body has not been consumed yet, and most of it is left, and a large amount of energy is still flowing out to supply it.
The aura on Nan Ming's body was very strange. Sometimes it was extremely cold, and sometimes it was as hot as the sun. It was completely different from the normal corpse refining, but the aura was constantly improving, approaching the aura of the golden corpse.
When the corpse elixir in Nanming's body shrank to a certain extent, it underwent a qualitative change, turning from the corpse elixir into the corpse core of millet grains.
Although the corpse core is small, the energy inside is many times stronger than the corpse core.
As soon as the corpse core was generated, it absorbed energy crazily. The energy from the fourth-grade corpse refining formation and the energy from the golden corpse core all poured into the corpse core.
The corpse core is like a bottomless pit, and all the incoming energy is absorbed by it. The only change is that the corpse core slowly increases in size.
As the corpse core formed, countless golden threads appeared from the corpse core, extending towards Nan Ming's body, filling every part of its body.
