Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1847 - 970: Auction

In the valley situated tens of thousands of miles away from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, the Heavenly Tribulation appears every few days, and each time nine bolts of Heavenly Thunder strike.

The several Great Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect are naturally aware that this is Li Shiming working in the valley, and they have no intention of inquiring.

To prevent unrelated cultivators from discovering the special Heavenly Tribulation here, several Great Cultivators have sealed off a larger area surrounding the valley.

It is only the present Ten Thousand Beast Sect that can accomplish this on the Dongqi Continent.

Of course, even if a cultivator were to discover the anomaly here, few would come to investigate.

Because Li Shiming’s reputation is too powerful, even superpowers do not wish to provoke him.

Although Li Yuanba has since surpassed Li Shiming, elevating his own reputation beyond Li Shiming’s, no one dares to underestimate Li Shiming. Even if Li Yuanba’s reputation is higher than Li Shiming’s, it surpasses the strength of a normal Peak Great Cultivator.

Recently, Li Shiming has been in the valley refining Holy Spirit Corpse Refinement.

Since he currently only has materials for ten uses of top 4th grade Corpse Refining Materials, he has refined ten Holy Spirits in the valley.

In order to obtain more top 4th grade Corpse Refining Materials, Li Shiming has reopened alchemy commissions, but he only accepts auctions, no longer accepting ordinary alchemy commissions.

In one of the halls of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, Grandmaster Hu stood at the front and looked at the numerous Great Cultivators below.

The Great Cultivators here numbered more than a hundred, such a gathering in the Cultivation World is certainly a grand event.

The arrival of the Great Cultivators was for the matter of Li Shiming’s alchemy commission.

Ever since it was announced by the Ten Thousand Beast Sect that Li Shiming’s alchemy commission could only be obtained through auction, and the auction time was given.

Although there’s only a two-month buffer period, every noteworthy force in the Cultivation World has Great Cultivators arriving.

Many Great Cultivators are not representing any force; their idea is to try their luck, to see if they can start from the side of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and invite Li Shiming to perform alchemy.

”Mr. Li, where is he?” Master Ren Mu asked Grandmaster Hu.

Among the Great Cultivators present, the vast majority are disappointed that they did not see Li Shiming appear.

But since Grandmaster Hu is Li Shiming’s master, despite his modest cultivation, his status in the Cultivation World is not low at all.

At least among the Great Cultivators present, few dare to offend Grandmaster Hu.

”Shizhen has been busy recently, please rest assured, as long as a cultivator wins the alchemy commission at the auction, he will arrange time to perform alchemy as soon as possible.” Grandmaster Hu explained with a smile.

Master Ren Mu no longer questioned; he felt a bit helpless, hoping to contact Li Shiming, but unfortunately, no matter how he tries, he cannot get a response from Li Shiming.

He is unaware that for a long period, Li Shiming and Yin Shilan have been deep in the ocean, completely unable to contact the Cultivation World.

And after returning to the Dongqi Continent, Li Shiming began refining Corpse Refinement, which required more focus; moreover, he employed nearly all his free mental capacity, cutting off communication with the outside world.

”Hu, how many alchemy commissions are up for auction this time?” A Great Cultivator asked.

”This time, fifty furnaces of alchemy commissions are for auction!” Grandmaster Hu answered with a laugh.

The number fifty is a huge number for other Alchemy Masters.

But for Li Shiming, this number seems small.

The reason is that previously, he almost monopolized the Great Cultivator Spirit Pill refining in the Cultivation World, plus he could refine five furnaces of Great Cultivator Spirit Pills simultaneously, compressing the alchemy time to one month.

The Great Cultivator Spirit Medicine produced by the Cultivation World, except for the few stored away, the rest were sent to him to be refined into High-level Spirit Pills.

Fifty furnaces of Great Cultivator Spirit Pills, which is Li Shiming’s annual production.

Of course, that was before; now that he possesses the fifth-grade ’Infinite Immortal Fire,’ he has further compressed the refining time for Great Cultivator Spirit Pills to three or four days.

And with his ability to refine five furnaces of Great Cultivator Spirit Pills at one time, he can now complete the annual amount in one month.

That is, now that his demand for Great Cultivator Spirit Pills has decreased, with enough pills on hand to consume, he decided to reduce or even stop the refinement of Great Cultivator Spirit Pills.

If it weren’t for his need for top 4th grade Corpse Refining Materials, he might actually stop the refinement of Great Cultivator Spirit Pills completely.

Such a matter would surely cause public outrage if it were about other Alchemy Masters, but in the case of Li Shiming, his strength prevents the Great Cultivators from feeling any anger.

”Shizhen said he needs top 4th grade Corpse Refining Materials and will only accept such materials as payment for alchemy commissions. Cultivators without top 4th grade Corpse Refining Materials need not participate in the auction!” Grandmaster Hu announced.

”What?” Some Great Cultivators have already jumped up.

Some forces that consider themselves part of the Righteous Path naturally have few or even no top 4th grade Corpse Refining Materials collected.

Now, hearing Li Shiming’s request, how could they not jump up?

There are those who are unhappy and those who are happy, naturally.

With many top 4th grade Corpse Refining Materials on hand, those forces’ Great Cultivators are already gleeful.

”The auction will have ten rounds, with five furnaces of alchemy commissions each!” Grandmaster Hu said in a deep tone, ignoring the clamor of the cultivators.

The auction process was extremely smooth, especially after Grandmaster Hu explained that after the fifty furnaces of alchemy, Li Shiming will retreat for a long period.
