Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1968: Chapter 1030: Taibai (Part 2)

The matter concerns a powerful cultivator, and as long as Li Taibai is a cultivator in the Cultivation World, there is no way he hasn’t heard of it.

“Li Taibai is a friend I met at a distant Cultivation Land away from the Cultivation World. For some reason, he returned with me to the Dongqi Continent. He had been in seclusion until recently when he just had a breakthrough!” Li Shiming continued to explain.

Upon hearing his response, Great Power Meng Jun did not accuse him of lying.

Great Power Meng Jun knew some information about Li Shiming. When Li Shiming was being pursued by a Great Power Avatar from the Yuqing Sect, he distanced himself from the Cultivation World.

At that time, no intelligence network of any major force found any trace of Li Shiming. According to some speculations, Li Shiming then escaped into the deep sea away from the Cultivation World.

Even though there are many powerful cultivators in the Cultivation World, the world is just too vast, and cultivators have yet to explore all areas completely.

The existence of another Cultivation Land somewhere in the world is not surprising.

In fact, the Great Powers know more clearly. From the information relayed by the Free Great Powers, there is news of other Cultivation Lands, but due to the extreme distance between them, even knowing of each other’s existence, contact cannot be established.

“When fellow Li Taibai comes out of seclusion, may I ask junior brother to make the introduction!” Great Power Meng Jun said.

“That is no problem, Li Taibai and I are close friends. If Luanyang Palace needs assistance from myself or Li Taibai in the future, feel free to bring it up.” Li Shiming said with a smile.

“I will send the fifth-grade spiritual medicine over as quickly as possible, and I will inform Sword Elder as well!” Great Power Meng Jun said lastly.

After cutting off contact, Great Power Meng Jun felt relieved.

No matter Li Taibai’s strength, since he is a close friend of Li Shiming, he stands on their side.

Having an allied Free Great Power is definitely fantastic news.

In the upcoming times, Li Shiming began studying the matter of refining a fifth-grade corpse refining.

Some problems were solved through the joint efforts of him and IBMz15, and the time for him to refine a fifth-grade corpse refining drew nearer.

Twenty days later, a Great Power Meng Jun’s avatar arrived at the Ten Thousand Beast Sect on a flying boat.

The moment Great Power Meng Jun’s avatar approached the near seas of the Dongqi Continent, it was detected by the unmanned satellite system.

However, with Li Shiming’s current formidable strength, he did not concern himself with the arrival of a Great Power Avatar.

Upon reaching the Dongqi Continent, the Great Power Meng Jun’s avatar took the initiative to contact Li Shiming.

Li Shiming gave him considerable face, personally leading the sect’s Great Cultivators out of the sect to greet the Great Power Meng Jun’s avatar.

The relationship between Luanyang Palace and the Ten Thousand Beast Sect had persisted for a long period. Although Luanyang Palace was once the backing of Ten Thousand Beast Sect, the close relationship indeed existed.

The welcoming ceremony was simple, but the personal attendance of Li Shiming in his true form surpassed any welcoming ceremony.

In truth, Li Shiming was left with no choice. Without a separate avatar, and unable to send a half-step fifth-grade spirit pet for the welcome, he had to come forward himself.

Li Shiming brought the Great Power Meng Jun’s avatar to his floating mountain grotto, where both host and guest were seated.

He prepared Fourth Grade Inquiry Tea and some rare fourth-grade spirit fruit for Great Power Meng Jun. In the Cultivation World, when it comes to spirit fruits, none probably surpass what he has here.

He even dug up many fourth-grade fruit trees from within the Divine Palace. The variety of spirit trees in the Divine Palace far exceeded those outside.

“Senior Sister Meng, I apologize for the inadequate hospitality!” Li Shiming gestured invitingly and said.

“You call this inadequate hospitality? If Sword Elder knew of such lavish treatment here, he’d regret not coming along!” Great Power Meng Jun pointed at the spiritual tea and fruit in front of her and chuckled.

She had brought along three additional portions of spiritual medicine this time, and on top of that, ten more sets of spiritual medicine.

In fact, if she had known early on that Li Shiming’s alchemy abilities were this high, she would have given all the spiritual medicine to Li Shiming from their very first request for alchemy.

“Here are three portions of spiritual medicine, leftovers from the last batch. There’s also ten portions of spiritual medicine here, with five portions as payment, and five others I would like you to help refine!” Great Power Meng Jun took out a Mustard Seed Ring containing the spiritual medicine and pushed it towards Li Shiming, saying.

The news of Li Shiming’s alchemical remuneration spread after he received the visits of five Great Power Avatars.

This was intentionally done by the five Great Powers, who spent a great expense to seek Li Shiming’s alchemy, ensuring other Great Powers would not benefit cheaply.

After receiving this news, even if Great Power Meng Jun and Sword Elder hoped for a bargain, considering Li Shiming’s alchemy skills, they felt getting alchemy services in advance was already highly advantageous. The two Great Powers did not want the issue of payment to affect their relationship with Li Shiming.

“I happen to be free these days; I’ll begin the alchemy soon!” Li Shiming said without excuses or attempts to reduce the remuneration, accepting the Mustard Seed Ring.

He was aware of the past circumstances around refining fifth-grade spirit pills; it was said to be a miserable sight.

Out of three furnaces, only one might succeed, and even then, quality was not guaranteed.

Calculating this way, his remuneration was definitely a fair price.

Of course, his alchemy wouldn’t affect other matters, either. Since all his alchemy was conducted within the machine room space, he could simply allocate two brains to the task.

And for refining a fifth-grade spirit pill, a single furnace required three years. Even if two furnaces were opened simultaneously with eight medicines, the process would take over ten years.

Upon reaching the Great Power Realm, the passage of time is always counted in years.

“Junior brother, does Li Taibai have some time?” Great Power Meng Jun thought of another matter and asked.

“I’ll see if I can get in touch!” Li Shiming nodded and said.

He pretended to make some arrangements, and from the other side, Li Taibai emerged from the grotto heaven, flashing into the floating grotto.

It was Great Power Meng Jun’s first time meeting Li Taibai, and she was utterly shocked.

From Li Taibai’s aura, she could determine that he was a Thunder Cultivation Great Power.

In the Cultivation World, Thunder Cultivators, like Sword Cultivators, are renowned for their strong combat power. Among the Great Powers, Thunder Cultivation Great Power is also unparalleled in battle might.

Even if the Li Taibai before her was newly ascended to the Great Power Realm, she did not dare to underestimate him.

“Loose Cultivator Li Taibai greets Great Power Meng Jun!” Li Taibai smiled slightly and initiated a salute.

“Luanyang Palace’s Meng Jun greets Great Power Li Taibai!” Great Power Meng Jun stood up solemnly to return the salute.

She was stunned by Li Taibai’s claim of being a Loose Cultivator. Since when could a Great Power emerge from the Loose Cultivators!

In the Cultivation World, the highest cultivation attainment for a Loose Cultivator is reaching the Great Cultivator Realm, which is the pinnacle among Loose Cultivators.

Even achieving the Great Cultivator Realm is merely the initial stage of that realm, without further advancement.

Unless joining a force of a large sect or higher, a Loose Cultivator in the Great Cultivator Realm finds it difficult to progress in their lifetime.

By claiming to be a Loose Cultivator, Li Taibai broke the existing record for Loose Cultivators in the Cultivation World.

Li Taibai sat at Li Shiming’s lower seat, casually nodding to Li Shiming, pouring himself a cup of tea from the teapot on the table.

Witnessing Li Taibai’s actions, Great Power Meng Jun became more convinced of how close the relationship between Li Taibai and Li Shiming was.

Among Great Powers, even as allies, mutual respect is usually shown.

Only genuine close friends wouldn’t need the fine details of interaction, acting in a casual manner.

Great Power Meng Jun wanted to inquire about Li Taibai’s place of origin. Li Taibai answered vaguely, not clearly explaining the events of Cloud Island Sea.

Nevertheless, from this, Great Power Meng Jun deduced that Li Taibai indeed hailed from another Cultivation Land.

This marked Li Taibai’s first appearance in this Cultivation World, letting the Cultivation World know of Li Taibai’s name.

Once Great Power Meng Jun circulated the news about Li Taibai, Sword Elder was the first to send a message, inviting Li Taibai to visit anytime and offering a congratulatory gift.

Following this, each superpower also quickly dispatched Great Cultivators to present their congratulatory gifts. They did not intend to meet Li Taibai; they simply aimed to express their sects’ stance.

Trading a small gift for the goodwill of a Free Great Power, even if unable to gain the goodwill, at the very least, they would not become his enemy.
