"Heavens, Mr. Feng, how is your skin so good?" Shui Miao, after greeting Li Shiming with a bow, stepped onto Feng Lanxinâs flying boat and exclaimed as she approached Feng Lanxin.
"Itâs just good luck, I got a âYouthful Elixirâ!" Feng Lanxin, containing the joy in her heart, pretended to be indifferent as she replied.
Such a proud matter was simply impossible to share with those male cultivators in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.
Only with female cultivators like Shui Miao could there be a common topic of conversation.
"Oh, this Mr. Li has also taken the âYouthful Elixirâ!" Upon hearing Feng Lanxinâs words, Shui Miao glanced at Li Shimingâs face and noticed something special about it.
She looked at Feng Lanxin and Li Shiming, her eyes full of envy.
Even Li Shiming, a male cultivator, had taken the âYouthful Elixirâ, yet she, as a female cultivator, hadnât had the opportunity to obtain one.
Li Shiming kept his mouth tightly shut, his gaze fixed on the distant Taichu Sect mountain gate, not wanting to partake in the conversation between the two female cultivators at all.
Feng Lanxin and Shui Miaoâs conversation shifted from the âYouthful Elixirâ, to beauty care, then to cosmetics, jewelry, and so on, gradually veering away from topics related to cultivation.
However, the two female Nascent Soul cultivators were very interested, and it seemed that these topics were akin to cultivation insights, each having their own interpretations.
"Oh, Senior Sister Shui and Senior Sister Feng, what a coincidence!" A seductive voice came, and Li Shiming had already noticed this female cultivator. She looked at Li Shiming with her eyes lighting up and said, "What a young little fellow, Mi Yi greets the little fellow!"
"Demoness Mi, have some decency, Junior Li hasnât even reached a hundred years old and has just advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage. If you want a male concubine, go find your senior brothers!" Feng Lanxin glared with her beautiful eyes, sharply saying.
"Junior, this is the demoness of the Sun Concealing Sect, stay away from her!" She turned to warn Li Shiming again.
"Senior Sister Feng, youâre getting more beautiful, my senior brothers would surely like you a lot!" Mi Yi showed no trace of anger on her face, but her words were unpleasant.
"If it werenât for your invitation card, I would have acted immediately!" Shui Miao also disliked Mi Yi and said angrily.
"Little fellow, Iâll chat with you later!" Mi Yi said no more, flirtatiously winked at Li Shiming, and then flew away.
"What a demoness!" Feng Lanxin and Shui Miao spat simultaneously and said.
Li Shiming sensed a faint presence of spiritual secret technique; this wasnât Mi Yi performing the spiritual secret technique, but rather Mi Yi had integrated a certain spiritual secret technique into her every word and act.
Even if Mi Yi wasnât actively using the spiritual secret technique, she unintentionally carried the influence of the spiritual secret technique.
Such cultivators who have practiced spiritual secret techniques are the hardest to deal with at the same level, as one would need to guard against the opponentâs invisible and intangible spiritual secret technique attacks during combat.
But Li Shiming didnât mind, as he himself practiced spiritual cultivation techniques and his spirit far surpassed those of the same level.
As long as he didnât encounter a Middle Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator adept in spirit arts, he wasnât worried about the opponentâs spiritual secret technique at all.
"Junior, were you charmed by her?" Feng Lanxin, seeing Li Shiming lost in thought, asked nervously.
"Iâve long had someone in my heart. If not for the unpredictability of the world, I would have formed a Daoist couple long ago, and I wouldnât even look at such a demoness!" Li Shiming shook his head, smiling as he spoke.
"Junior, who is this Daoist couple you mentioned? Is she very beautiful? How is her cultivation? And why did you part?" Feng Lanxin asked rapidly.
Even Shui Miao stared curiously at Li Shiming, waiting for his answer.
Li Shiming immediately closed his mouth, having forgotten he was in front of two female cultivators; discussing such matters with them wouldnât be anything but trouble for himself.
Seeing that they couldnât pry anything out, Feng Lanxin and Shui Miao resumed their own conversation.
"Time is getting late, the first lecture today is by Qi the Great Cultivator, letâs hurry over!" Shui Miao suddenly remembered something important and said.
This immediately stopped Feng Lanxin from chatting, and she gestured to Li Shiming, and the three of them quickened their pace.
The mountain gate of the Taichu Sect is quite special; it is above a deep valley, connected to the surroundings of the valley with massive chains.
These massive chains pull mountain peaks, making them float above the deep valley.
However, in Li Shimingâs view, the role of these massive chains is not to support the floating peaks, but rather to form a formation based on the huge chains.
From the massive chains, a massive flow of Spiritual Energy can be sensed, and it seems the other end of the huge chains is connected to a place with an extraordinarily strong spiritual vein, providing Spiritual Energy to these floating peaks.
From the sky, itâs unclear how deep the valley is, as it is filled with mist, with flying beasts faintly visible through the mistâtruly a sight of an immortal family.
The mountain gates that the Taichu Sect opens are not many, just three peaks.
These three peaks are all extremely large, each peak having three palace-like buildings, apparently used for gatherings.
With Shui Miao leading, the three entered one of the palace buildings.
In the main hall, several dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators had already been seated, and Li Shiming spotted Master Dingâs second disciple, Yuan Xun, among them.
Yuan Xun also saw Li Shiming, nodded at him, and Li Shiming returned with a smile.
There was a conflict between the two parties, but because of Li Shimingâs alchemy skills, Master Ding did not allow anyone to act against Li Shiming, forcing Yuan Xun to set aside their conflict.
Moreover, with the display of Li Shimingâs alchemy skills, even Yuan Xun had no choice but to take Li Shiming seriously.
