Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1529: Chapter 811: News

”Great tea, even better than the Spiritual Tea you left at the headquarters!” In a meeting room at the Dongqi Continent branch of the Central State Commerce, Master Ren Mu took a sip of the Spiritual Tea and couldn’t help but praise it.

This Fourth Grade Spirit Tea was, of course, taken out by Li Shiming. He had been in seclusion for decades, and the Fourth Grade Spirit Tea he had originally made had almost been consumed by the outside world.

His current abilities were much stronger compared to back then, especially his control over the space in the refining room, which had improved significantly, resulting in higher quality Spirit Tea.

Although Master Ren Mu had been in seclusion, given his status, no Cultivator would dare to provide him with less than he was due of the Fourth Grade Spirit Tea.

So when he came out of seclusion, he also tasted the Fourth Grade Spirit Tea brewed by Li Shiming.

”If you like it, I recently brewed a batch of Fourth Grade Spirit Tea, which I will hand over to Mr. Liu for you!” Li Shiming said with a smile.

”That would be the best. I’ll take care of your issue when I return. Are you really not coming back to the Central State Commerce?” Master Ren Mu asked, smiling after hearing this.

He still hadn’t given up on persuading Li Shiming, but unfortunately, Li Shiming’s attitude was quite firm.

”I hope to coexist peacefully with the Central State Commerce!” Li Shiming also stated his stance.

Although the headquarters of the Central State Commerce had betrayed him, he had also dealt them a significant blow. The wealth from just two Great Cultivators and one long-distance merchant fleet had thoroughly settled any grievances.

Since Master Ren Mu proposed reconciliation, he also did not wish to prolong the conflict.

Especially after hearing Master Liu Ziyun and Master Ren Mu speak about the internal situation of the Central State Commerce, he understood that the betrayal was the act of one faction within the commerce and did not represent the entire Central State Commerce.

Of course, only Master Ren Mu could handle the trouble of Li Shiming slaying two Great Cultivators properly.

”Mr. Li, if Great Cultivator Spirit Pills are needed in the future, could we still commission you for Alchemy?” Master Liu Ziyun, who had remained silent, suddenly asked.

Since losing Li Shiming, the Alchemy Master, Master Liu Ziyun had faced much criticism from old clients because other Alchemy Masters’ levels were noticeably inferior.

If there was no comparison with Li Shiming’s Alchemy skills, it might not matter so much, but the contrast highlighted just how the materials and payments from old clients were not worth it.

”Cooperation is certainly possible, but I need to travel for a few years. Once I’m settled, I’ll contact Mr. Liu!” After some consideration, Li Shiming nodded and said.

With the conflict with the Central State Commerce resolved, there was no longer any issue with cooperating on Alchemy.

Most crucially, Li Shiming himself required a large number of Great Cultivator Spirit Pills for cultivation. Although making a name for himself could earn him many commissions from Great Cultivators,

he could only accept commissions on one continent, whereas the Central State Commerce, with its established network, could receive Alchemy commissions from various continents.

Li Shiming needed five Great Cultivator Spirit Pills for a single cultivation session, and once settled, his demand for them would be enormous.

”That’s settled, then! I’ll await your news, Mr. Li!” Master Liu Ziyun almost jumped in excitement as he spoke.

His eyes sparkled with light. Over the decades, he had suffered enough, unable to hire any Alchemy Master after using up Li Shiming’s Great Cultivator Spirit Pills.

He had accumulated all the Great Cultivator Spirit Medicines he obtained, waiting for either Li Shiming or an Alchemy Master of similar caliber.

Now, with Li Shiming’s promise, he finally had a use for his amassed Spiritual Medicine.

As for the time delay, be it a few years, or even ten years, he could wait.

He had already waited for decades and could use this time to acquire more Great Cultivator Spirit Medicines.

”Mr. Li, I also request your Alchemy services for my Spirit Pills!” Master Ren Mu, having understood Li Shiming’s Alchemy skills, agreed with a smile.

After a battle and an exchange, decades of grievances were swept away, and Li Shiming even made a friend in Master Ren Mu.

Li Shiming returned to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and reentered his state of seclusion.

However, little did he expect that soon a message would come from the Central State Commerce.

”Shizhen, we are outside your cave!” Li Shiming’s cultivation was interrupted by his Master, Grandmaster Hu, along with several other Great Cultivators of the sect, who had arrived outside his cave, and Grandmaster Hu sent out a communication technique.

Li Shiming shook his head. His cave was protected by a Formation he set up, so he detected their approach before they arrived and prepared to end his cultivation.

”Master, what brings you here? And how does everyone have the time?” Li Shiming opened the door of his cave and, with a smile, asked Grandmaster Hu.

Recently, all the Great Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect had been busy people, managing resources and handling the increasing affairs of the sect.

Given the vast territory they had now occupied, since it was newly acquired, there weren’t enough people, meaning every Great Cultivator’s responsibilities had increased several fold.

As far as Li Shiming knew, the only time all the Great Cultivators had gathered was when the sect was suppressed within the mountain by the combined forces of three sects and two superpowers.
