"Have you seen Master Li?" On Yongle Island, upon seeing Ancestor Ren Xunâs restored healthy face, Elder Jin Kai asked.
"Yes, Master Liâs alchemy skills are the best Iâve ever seen!" Ancestor Ren Xun respectfully took out a jade bottle and handed it to Elder Jin Kai.
This time, when he went to see Li Shiming, it was partly to request alchemy and partly to personally assess the quality of Li Shiming, a task given by Elder Jin Kai on behalf of the Skywalk Trading Company.
Elder Jin Kai took the jade bottle, and upon seeing that there was a Fourth Grade Healing High-level Spirit Pill inside, he felt the surging medicinal power within and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.
Previously, judgments about Li Shiming were indirect, without the directness that came from seeing a high-grade spirit pill.
Originally, he thought Li Shimingâs alchemy skills might be very strong, but attributed it also to the fact that the folks of Beishu Continent hadnât seen much of the world.
But after seeing this Fourth Grade High-level Spirit Pill, he realized he had underestimated Li Shiming.
"You have met Master Li; do you think Master Li would accept our recruitment?" Elder Jin Kai asked solemnly.
This was his main goal; instead of spending resources to have Li Shiming perform alchemy, it would be better to spend more to recruit Li Shiming into the Skywalk Trading Company.
With Li Shimingâs alchemy skills, once he joins the Skywalk Trading Company, he could almost enable the company to win over a group of Nascent Soul Ancestors, thereby strengthening the companyâs power further.
"In my judgment, Master Li doesnât seem like someone who would want to stay on the Beishu Continent forever; I canât give an accurate assessment about recruitment, but Master Li surely wonât be content just staying on the Beishu Continent!" Ancestor Ren Xun thought for a moment and replied.
He recalled Li Shiming asking him for Mahayana Cultivation Technique, indicating that if Li Shiming did not have higher ambitions, he wouldnât want a Mahayana Cultivation Technique.
Moreover, with Li Shiming becoming a Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator at such a young age, as long as they revealed some information about the outside cultivation world to him, there was a high likelihood that Li Shiming would be tempted.
"Very well, since he is not content, it makes things easier. Try to interact more with Master Li and make sure to befriend him!" Elder Jin Kai said with a smile.
Ancestor Ren Xun had a bitter expression on his face, as he had spent significant resources to have Li Shiming perform alchemy this time.
The only way to interact with Li Shiming was to request his alchemy services, but for outsiders like them to ask Li Shiming for help, the cost was truly heart-wrenching for him.
"By the way, when you met Master Li, what did you think of his cultivation talent?" Elder Jin Kai recalled something and asked.
"Master Li is very young, roughly fifty years old and in the late-stage Golden Core, such a cultivation talent is truly astonishing!" Speaking of Li Shimingâs cultivation talent, even as a Nascent Soul Cultivator, Ancestor Ren Xun couldnât help but exclaim.
"I know the cost of asking Master Li for alchemy services is a bit high; Iâll cover that expense!" Elder Jin Kaiâs eyes sparkled, and he waved his hand, suppressing his inner thoughts.
Ancestor Ren Xun showed a look of delight; as a recently promoted Nascent Soul Cultivator, how could his wealth compare to this seasoned mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator before him?
Since Elder Jin Kai was willing to pay the reward, then interacting with Li Shiming would be an excellent thing.
He was already eager to meet Li Shiming again to turn all the Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicines he accumulated into High-level Spirit Pills, just the increased cultivation speed would be tempting enough for him.
Although he was curious about why Elder Jin Kai was doing this, it wasnât his place to guess with the otherâs identity.
In the Cultivation Room at Sword Holding Peak, Li Shiming sat cross-legged on a mat, cultivating the âFive Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique.â
Next to him, Venerable Huijing also sat cross-legged, one of his minds observing Venerable Huijingâs cultivation progress from within his body.
Venerable Huijing officially began cultivating the âLiu Yan Erosion Sun Skill.â As his previous cultivation method was neutral and balanced, with no bias, this meant he wouldnât have to abandon his original cultivation.
Of course, converting his existing cultivation into mastery of the âLiu Yan Erosion Sun Skillâ wasnât a simple task either.
The âLiu Yan Erosion Sun Skillâ began cultivation directly from the Nascent Soul Chapter, with his nascent soul sitting cross-legged inside his body, as the techniqueâs route was activated on the nascent soulâs form.
A pained expression appeared on his nascent soulâs small face; the previously neutral and calm cultivation had no flame patterns, causing the generated flames during the first cultivation of the âLiu Yan Erosion Sun Skillâ to affect his nascent soul.
The nascent soul of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, before being stimulated into a Dharma Manifestation, is quite delicate.
Venerable Huijingâs nascent soul endured the pain, repeatedly executing the âLiu Yan Erosion Sun Skill.â
Simultaneously, the cultivation method of the âLiu Yan Erosion Sun Skillâ was also running synchronously in the body outside.
The cultivation of a Nascent Soul Ancestor is incomparable to Li Shiming, a Golden Core cultivator; the time spent cultivating techniques is often measured in months to years.
Li Shiming had no plans of leaving Sword Holding Peak, so he cultivated alongside Venerable Huijing.
As days passed, he consumed all of the Illusion Moon Spiritual Fruits, the âHuman Dao Reincarnation Techniqueâ significantly elevating his spiritual strength.
"Master!" Li Yuanba bowed respectfully to Elder Sword in greeting.
"Yuan Ba, I summoned you here this time because there is something I need to discuss with you!" Elder Sword said with a smile, pointing to a chair beside him.
