Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 335: Chapter 214 Immaculate

“`

“Junior Brother, it looks like in a few more years, we’ll be relying on you for the Spirit Pills we need for cultivation!” Senior Sister Ye Jingxian was very pleased as she looked at Li Shiming.

Although Li Shiming was only an Intermediate Alchemist, and advancing to an Advanced Alchemist was necessary to refine Elixir Pills for the Middle-Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, he had exhibited extraordinary aptitude in alchemy. Even if it meant waiting a few more years, there was hope for more effective Spirit Pills in the future, which couldn’t help but please her greatly.

“Senior Sister flatters me. Once I advance to an Advanced Alchemist, I will definitely refine Spirit Pills for Senior Sister and our two Senior Brothers!” Li Shiming replied with a smile.

Both the second Senior Brother, Wan Zheng, and third Senior Brother, Lu Shi, had surprise in their eyes. With their Junior Brother’s high alchemy talent, their already close relationship seemed set to become even closer.

“Greetings, Master!” At that moment, Elder Su appeared in the pavilion, and all the disciples quickly bowed in salutation.

...
“Good, none of you have neglected your cultivation lately, especially you, Shiming. It seems that learning alchemy hasn’t impacted your cultivation, which puts my mind at ease!” Elder Su’s gaze swept over his disciples as he nodded and smiled.

Li Shiming’s talent was too poor; as a new disciple, he naturally was a prime focus of concern for him.

He had previously worried that Li Shiming’s alchemy would affect his cultivation. Today, seeing the evident increase in the Spiritual Power Pattern on Li Shiming’s body and sensing no Elixir Pills’ aura, it was clear that Li Shiming had not consumed Elixir Pills and was relying solely on his own efforts.

This was the advantage of top-tier Spirit Pills; once the medicinal power within was absorbed, no residue was left in the body.

“Jingxian, you should go into closed-door cultivation soon!” Elder Su turned and instructed Ye Jingxian.

“Master, my comprehension isn’t sufficient. Closing myself off won’t break through the barrier!” Ye Jingxian was a bit stunned and quickly replied.

Li Shiming had heard about Senior Sister Ye Jingxian’s situation. She was at the Half-step Golden Core stage; although she was only one step away from the Golden Core, that one step was as daunting as a chasm. To cross it, one needed not only a peak Taoist Body, Spiritual Power, and Spirit but also needed to temper their Taoist heart and comprehend the will of heaven.

This step couldn’t be explained in words. Each Cultivator’s insight into advancing to Golden Core was unique and varied according to the individual; it was something Senior Sister had to comprehend on her own.

The best situation would be for Senior Sister to continually try, using various methods to stimulate her own insights.

Last time she took Li Shiming’s Monkey Wine was one such method, attempting to disrupt the balance of her body in hopes of advancing her physique and inducing insights toward Golden Core.

Closed-door cultivation wasn’t a good choice for her, as what Senior Sister Ye Jingxian lacked wasn’t Spiritual Power; the effect of her cultivating alone was almost negligible.

“Your situation is special. Once the war between our sect and the Devil Cultivators begins, being a Half-step Golden Core, you might face Golden Core opponents. It’s better for you to start closed-door cultivation early!” Elder Su slowly revealed the reason.

“Master, is the Demon Sect getting ready to wage war against the Taoist sects?” Ye Jingxian asked in surprise.

“This won’t happen shortly, but the Demon Sect has been quite active lately, and the major Righteous Path sects are preparing for battle!” Elder Su nodded slightly.

He wasn’t worried about his disciples, except for Ye Jingxian.

Each of his disciples had life-saving artifacts that could at least preserve their lives, so their chances of surviving the upcoming battle were very high.

But Ye Jingxian was different. According to the unwritten rules of war between the Righteous and Demonic forces, higher-level Cultivators typically didn’t attack those of a lower stage.

However, this didn’t include Half-step Golden Cores, who were already on the threshold of Golden Core to some extent.

Moreover, the threat of a Half-step Golden Core was too significant. Not only would they add a Golden Core Elder to the Righteous Path if they advanced, but they were also virtually invincible among Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Leaving a Half-step Golden Core unchecked would increase the losses among Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Not to mention that the Righteous Path would prioritize dealing with the Half-step Golden Cores of the Demon Sect.

“Shiming here has become an Intermediate Alchemist right after joining the sect, so he doesn’t need to go into battle. But you, Chuan’er, are too rough. Be very careful if you encounter any enemies!”

Elder Su continued, handing out a talisman to each disciple. “This is a ‘Ten Thousand Miles Escape Talisman,’ keep it for your safety!”

Li Shiming accepted the ‘Ten Thousand Miles Escape Talisman,’ understanding it was the difference between being a disciple of a Golden Core Elder and a common Cultivator.

Disciples of a Golden Core Elder could accumulate a certain number of life-saving artifacts through their master’s rewards and gifts, while ordinary Cultivators rarely even caught a glimpse of such items.

After learning from Elder Su about the potential major conflict between the Righteous and Demonic forces, Li Shiming felt the pressure.

Although he wouldn’t have to go to battle, there was concern for Li Yuanba, who, being part of the Senluo Sect, was a Combat Cultivator.

It remained uncertain if the Senluo Sect would partake in this great war between the Righteous and Demonic forces, but it seemed likely they would, being one of the several major Demon Sects in Beishu.

Upon returning to Sword Holding Peak, he continued his daily routine of alchemy training. The atmosphere within the sect became somewhat tense, with a sharp increase in the exchange of various Elixir Pills.

Senior Sister adhered to Elder Su’s instructions and went into seclusion, announcing her intention to seek the will of the Golden Core.

After conversing with Yin Shilan, Li Shiming learned that the Thousand Illusion Sect, an ally of Shushan Sect, also reported preparations. Should a war break out, the two allied sects would certainly support each other.

There was no need to worry about Yin Shilan, who was an Array Master; the tasks she undertook were not dangerous.
