Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1607: Chapter 850: Interception

A period of time passed, and Li Shiming’s ’Phantom Clone’ still maintained the frequency of at least one Great Cultivator guest per day. This was because he was a ’Phantom Clone’ here, not needing to consider cultivation matters. If it were the main body, it would be impossible to waste time like this.

Every time Yin Shilan returned periodically, she would tell him about the things she encountered, from which it could be seen that Luanyang Palace valued Yin Shilan, truly treating her as a core cultivator for cultivation.

Finally, after three months, Yin Shilan received the corresponding inheritance.

Master Li still needed to stay at Luanyang Palace for a while, but Yin Shilan didn’t want to wait any longer, so she returned to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect together with Li Shiming.

Although the cultivation conditions at Luanyang Palace were good, when Yin Shilan returned beside Li Shiming and entered the Great Power Palace within the Heavenly Person Cave Mansion for cultivation, those conditions were far superior to what Luanyang Palace provided.

The cultivation conditions at Luanyang Palace were merely opening a mansion in Luanyang Cave Heaven and providing a Nascent Soul Mid-stage Spiritual Vein exclusively supplying spiritual energy for Yin Shilan.

Luanyang Cave Heaven and Heavenly Person Cave Heaven belonged to the same level of grotto heavens, but the cultivation resources of Luanyang Cave Heaven were shared amongst all core cultivators of Luanyang Palace, including a Great Power among them.

Conversely, only Li Shiming and Yin Shilan used the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven, so the cultivation conditions were naturally quite different.

Of course, Li Shiming was lacking the guidance of the ’Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique’, so Yin Shilan still needed to consult Luanyang Palace when encountering problems.

Fortunately, Yin Shilan’s master, Master Li, would usually be stationed at the Ten Thousand Beast Sect on Dongqi Continent, so she could resolve any issues she had.

A green flying boat was sailing high above Central State Continent, bearing the mark of Luanyang Palace, prompting any cultivator seeing the flying boat to consciously avoid it.

Li Shiming and Yin Shilan were sitting face to face, with a tea set placed in front of Yin Shilan, while Li Shiming was just watching. No matter how much the ’Phantom Clone’ resembled a real entity, it could not eat like a normal cultivator.

The flying boat traveled very slowly. This time, without Master Li accompanying them, there was no rush, and Li Shiming took the chance to tour Central State Continent with Yin Shilan.

This counted as a rare experience. For Yin Shilan, who seldom went out, everything she saw was new to her.

This was when the benefits of having read extensively became apparent. Whenever the flying boat sailed over a specific location, Li Shiming would recount its old stories.

Originally, he thought that with the reputation of Luanyang Palace, no cultivator would disrupt his and Yin Shilan’s leisurely life.

Yet trouble still found them. The aura of seven Great Cultivators appeared ahead of the flying boat, and at the same time, he sensed that the surrounding space was obstructed by a formation.

”Lan’er, we have some minor trouble to handle!” Li Shiming said, his expression slightly somber, as he gestured to Yin Shilan.

”Should I notify Luanyang Palace?” Yin Shilan asked softly, not appearing too frightened.

This was the Central State Continent; as long as a rescue signal was sent, even if Luanyang Palace could not send reinforcements in time, they would enlist powerful cultivators nearby for help.

After spending three months at Luanyang Palace, she understood its terrifying potential.

Luanyang Palace, despite not seeking fame or fortune, had powers so vast that they were far from ordinary, as they might appear superficially.

Not to mention the many connections throughout the Cultivation World established over the years through relationships as female cultivators, with familiar forces everywhere.

These supporting forces might play a minor role when facing conflicts among superpowers, but in handling small troubles, the forces Luanyang Palace could mobilize were considerable.

”No need for that!” Li Shiming shook his head in reply.

If he could not handle the opponents, unless Luanyang Palace dispatched Peak Great Cultivators, others would be of no use.

”Protect the mistress!” he ordered, releasing a late-stage Golden Corpse.

”Yes!” the late-stage Golden Corpse replied, bowing.

”Wait for me to resolve them!” Li Shiming said to Yin Shilan again.

”Be careful!” Yin Shilan, even knowing this wasn’t Li Shiming’s body but a ’Phantom Clone’, still expressed her concern.

Li Shiming nodded with a smile, leaping out of the flying boat, and once out, he waved his hand, surrounding the flying boat with several Fourth Grade Array Flags, enclosing it in the center.

With a slight motion of his mind, three late-stage Golden Corpses appeared by his side.

After preparing everything, he turned to face the seven Great Cultivators opposite him.

The seven Great Cultivators across from him, all unknown, were strangers to him.

Their auras made Li Shiming conclude that they were neither from superpowers nor even large factions, but were most likely a group of Independent Cultivators.

Their weak aura did not hinder the violent air about them; even as Independent Cultivators, they were far from orderly. Rather, they probably made their living through robbery.

Li Shiming was somewhat curious; indeed, if blocked by Great Cultivators from superpowers, he would not find it odd.

The animosity between him and many superpowers was irreconcilable.

Despite the seeming desire of those superpowers to become friendly with the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, as if they no longer wanted to pursue past matters.

But all this was based on Li Shiming exhibiting fearsome combat prowess. His feat of single-handedly killing two Peak Great Cultivators and a Half-step Great Power compelled superpowers to compromise.

”Who are you, and why do you block my way?” Li Shiming did not act immediately but asked aloud.
