Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1096: Chapter 594: Half a Year (Part 2)

Now within the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’, there are already forty-five fourth-grade flying swords infused with Nascent Soul Sword Intent.

The five ’Flowing Light Star Meteor’ at the core of ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ can hardly suppress so many fourth-grade flying swords, mainly because the quality of the ’Flowing Light Star Meteor’ is truly too poor, only through artifact refining techniques can they achieve the might of fourth-grade flying swords.

Li Yuanba was not in a hurry; the main body Li Shiming was currently using fourth-grade high-level refining materials to craft five top-grade fourth-grade weapon tribulation flying swords to replace the five ’Flowing Light Star Meteor’ at the core of ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’.

As for how to deliver the flying swords from Dongqi Continent to Central State Continent, a solution was found.

There are two delivery methods, one is through the channel of Central State Commerce, which allows the spiritual objects to be delivered from Dongqi Continent to Li Yuanba at ’Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’.

The second is for Li Shiming himself to come to Central State Continent and deliver all the crafted and consecrated fourth-grade flying swords to Li Yuanba.

The fourth-grade high-level refining materials that Li Shiming obtained were the reward for recently accepting a major alchemy mission from Central State Commerce for a Great Cultivator.

Li Shiming became famous again on Dongqi Continent, this time it was within the circle of Great Cultivators.

Among the five Great Cultivators who issued alchemy missions at Central State Commerce, each belonged to different forces, all major forces on Dongqi Continent.

Upon learning their alchemy missions were accepted, they naturally wanted to inquire about the identity of the Alchemy Master.

Only then did they learn about Li Shiming, the Alchemy Master, who had the ability recognized by Central State Commerce to craft fourth-grade spirit pills for Great Cultivators.

With Li Shiming’s openly known achievements in crafting early Nascent Soul Stage fourth-grade spirit pills, he could almost be considered the number one Alchemy Master on Dongqi Continent within the circle of Great Cultivators.

Moreover, with the promotion of multiple Great Cultivators, his reputation spread from the circle of Great Cultivators to the ears of Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.

If it were in the past, such a reputation, even with Ten Thousand Beast Sect as a background, would bring Li Shiming some trouble.

But now he is different; the identity of Central State Commerce’s Guest Elder gave him a very powerful protection. At least on Dongqi Continent, no cultivator dared to openly make things difficult for him.

Even if someone wanted to deal with him, they had to consider the consequences of information leakage.

Central State Commerce is a superpower, and the wrath of a superpower is not something ordinary major forces can endure.

Xin Jingyun sat in the hall of the cave residence, finally having the qualification to enter Li Shiming’s cave residence.

Her attitude was quite different from the beginning; Li Shiming’s displayed alchemy level was enough for her to pay immense attention.

”Mr. Xin, here are the crafted spirit pills, please check them!” Li Shiming tossed a jade bottle to Xin Jingyun and said.

Since Li Shiming was crafting fourth-grade spirit pills for Great Cultivators, both the materials and spirit pills were personally delivered by Xin Jingyun.

No cultivator found this troublesome because Great Cultivator resources are that precious.

”Thank you, Master Li!” Xin Jingyun smilingly said.

Her divine sense scanned the interior of the jade bottle to check the quality of the two fourth-grade spirit pills for Great Cultivators.

As expected, they were still mid-level fourth-grade spirit pills, just a thread away from breaking through to high-level fourth-grade spirit pills.

She was one hundred percent sure that Li Shiming definitely had the ability to craft high-level fourth-grade spirit pills; otherwise, it would be impossible for his pill quality to be consistently stable without changes every time.

But she did not want to raise any questions; Li Shiming’s current alchemy ability was enough to satisfy those Great Cultivators who issued alchemy missions.

Even if Li Shiming had some reservations, it wouldn’t impact the fact that his alchemy ability was unparalleled on Dongqi Continent.

”I don’t plan to do any more alchemy for a while; I want to rest for a few years!” Li Shiming said calmly.

”That’s no problem, but if there’s an urgent alchemy task, please help out Master Li in a timely manner!” Xin Jingyun replied with a smile.

She wasn’t surprised; crafting fourth-grade spirit pills for Great Cultivators was too taxing, requiring continuous concentration during the crafting process, and any distraction could result in huge losses.

Not to mention that Li Shiming first took on five Great Cultivator alchemy tasks and, after completion, took on another three without resting much in between.

According to the rules set by Central State Commerce for Li Shiming, he had already completed eight years of mandatory tasks.

As for the so-called urgent alchemy tasks, these rarely happen.

An urgent alchemy task is issued only when a Great Cultivator from Central State Commerce experiences a major event and urgently needs specified fourth-grade spirit pills for Great Cultivators, with rewards far exceeding normal alchemy tasks.

Meanwhile, these urgent alchemy tasks could be forcibly allocated, effectively acting as a rescue signal, being a life-saving task within Central State Commerce.

”I will accept urgent alchemy tasks as long as I am not in seclusion!” Li Shiming nodded and said.

”These are the second batch of goods you ordered!” Xin Jingyun took out a space ring and handed it to Li Shiming.

Li Shiming received the space ring, which contained a large amount of research materials he needed, many of which were mundane items.

After continuously crafting fourth-grade spirit pills for Great Cultivators, he no longer had a blank slate of contribution points at Central State Commerce but instead had accumulated quite a few.

Don’t be deceived by the massive quantity or variety of goods he ordered; their value was actually quite low, each batch only required a few contribution points for payment.

And those few contribution points largely covered the expenses of Central State Commerce in gathering these items, while the value of the goods themselves was negligible.

Xin Jingyun was also quite helpless; the dignified Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner from Central State Commerce had to personally transport these worthless goods and hand over a space ring.

Storage bags were too small, unable to contain so many goods.

She didn’t care much about the space ring; its value alone was already a significant portion of the goods’ small total value.

”Mr. Xin, thank you!” Li Shiming smiled and placed a jade box before Xin Jingyun.

He knew how troublesome it was to obtain these goods; he had expanded his research into several domains requiring diverse materials.

”It’s my duty!” Xin Jingyun saw the special mark on the jade box, her smile deepening, and she received the jade box.

Inside the jade box were ten pieces of fourth-grade Spiritual Tea, which compared to the fourth-grade Spiritual Tea issued by Central State Commerce to Li Shiming, appeared insignificant in quantity.

Yet Xin Jingyun was well aware of the high value of these ten pieces of fourth-grade Spiritual Tea.

After interacting with Li Shiming, she learned from other cultivators in Ten Thousand Beast Sect that Li Shiming personally crafted fourth-grade Spiritual Tea, the top-tier existence among fourth-grade Spiritual Tea.

Even within Ten Thousand Beast Sect, only Great Cultivators were entitled to regular distribution, while other Nascent Soul cultivators had to rely on connections to fight for the limited supply of fourth-grade Spiritual Tea.

It was said that crafting this fourth-grade Spiritual Tea was extremely difficult, with a very low success rate, and Li Shiming couldn’t afford to spend long periods on tea crafting, so the amount of fourth-grade Spiritual Tea flowing out from him was exceptionally low.

Xin Jingyun was fortunate to have tasted this fourth-grade Spiritual Tea several times and was extremely fond of it.

Unfortunately, none of the cultivators who obtained this fourth-grade Spiritual Tea were willing to give it up, and Li Shiming intentionally withheld supply, making the tea’s value even more precious.

The ten pieces of fourth-grade Spiritual Tea she obtained today were enough to entertain particularly important guests.

Most importantly, after this transaction, she was confident she could obtain more fourth-grade Spiritual Tea from Li Shiming as he did not seem to be a stingy person; as long as she served him well, there would certainly be benefits.

Li Shiming smiled, content with his intentional management making his crafted fourth-grade Spiritual Tea a high-end product for hosting, which was precisely what he wanted.
