Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1611: Chapter 852: Emerging from Seclusion

On the Dongqi Continent, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect is still a major sect in the Cultivation World. Yet, in some sense, it has already surpassed the scope of large forces, only lacking the existence of a great power to match the superpowers.

As there is no great power on the Dongqi Continent, Li Shiming, this powerful Great Cultivator, has suppressed all Great Cultivators in the Cultivation World with his own strength, giving the Ten Thousand Beast Sect a unique position in the Cultivation World.

Another of Li Shiming’s abilities, the best alchemy skills in the Cultivation World, makes all forces willing to befriend the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Whether sincerely or falsely, no force publicly conflicts with the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Even the two superpowers, Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect, who have enmity with Li Shiming, have employed various means to ease relations with the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Because if they do not ease relations with the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, they cannot commission alchemy from Li Shiming.

The number of Great Cultivators in the Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect is at an all-time low. If they do not replenish the number of Great Cultivators in time, soon the two superpowers will face the dilemma of a gap in sect strength.

Li Shiming lives quite comfortably, with a ’Phantom Clone’ accompanying Yin Shilan while his true self enters seclusion for cultivation, emerging only once every few years.

The ’Phantom Clone’ also meets with visiting Great Cultivators to handle alchemy commissions.

Currently, the number of alchemy commissions brought by the Central State Commerce is decreasing, as most Great Cultivators prefer coming to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect to negotiate alchemy remuneration with Li Shiming, also taking the opportunity to befriend him.

The last time Li Shiming’s ’Phantom Clone’ and Yin Shilan were attacked on the Central State Continent, Luanyang Palace mobilized many relationships but could not find out who was behind the scenes.

But the very fact that it couldn’t be uncovered shows the strength of the forces behind the scenes, at least at the same level as Luanyang Palace in terms of superpowers.

Li Shiming did not pursue this matter. After the ’Phantom Clone’ took Yin Shilan back to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, they did not leave its premises for the next thirty years.

"Shiming, you’ve come out of seclusion, come taste the Spiritual Tea I made!" said Yin Shilan happily in the Great Power Palace, upon seeing Li Shiming walk into the palace.

After spending over thirty years with Li Shiming, even if the ’Phantom Clone’ no longer deliberately maintained a transparent state, she could easily tell the difference between the ’Phantom Clone’ and the real body at a glance.

Entering the Great Power Palace, Li Shiming, like an ordinary person, showed no hint of an extraordinary aura.

However, his cultivation had changed significantly compared to thirty years ago. Previously just entering the Great Cultivator Realm, his strength had now stabilized at the Middle Stage of Great Cultivator.

This was thanks to the continuous supply of High-level Spirit Pills for Great Cultivators, keeping his cultivation always at a resource-saturated state.

In the thirty years of cultivation, although he had five Nascent Souls, causing his consumption of High-level Spirit Pills for Great Cultivators to equal that of five Great Cultivators of the same realm, the quantity of High-level Spirit Pills for Great Cultivators he had not only didn’t decrease but increased significantly.

Since he opened up alchemy commissions, Great Cultivators across the Cultivation World have brought out accumulated resources, especially large and super powers, with the quantity of Great Cultivator resources they had amassed far exceeding his estimates.

Maybe without the appearance of an Alchemy Master like Li Shiming, no Alchemy Master maintaining alchemy at a Great Cultivator-level quality had emerged, the various forces would still have kept some Great Cultivator Spirit Medicines in reserve as strategic resources.

But with Li Shiming’s emergence, these forces could no longer hoard their Great Cultivator Spirit Medicines, leveraging Li Shiming’s alchemy skills to increase the value of their Great Cultivator Spirit Medicines tens of times over.

The compensation given to Li Shiming by these forces and Great Cultivators greatly increased the top-level resources under Li Shiming’s control.

Li Shiming sat across from the tea table, took a sip from the fourth-grade top-level teacup of Fourth Grade Spirit Tea.

"Lan’er, your tea-brewing skill has greatly improved!" he complimented with a smile when he saw Yin Shilan’s expectant gaze.

"I learned this from the master, but it’s a pity that you can’t learn my tea-brewing technique!" Yin Shilan replied with a smile, her eyes narrowed with laughter.

"Your cultivation has been advancing quite rapidly, better to reduce the consumption of Spirit Pills and stabilize your realm first!" Li Shiming put down the top-level fourth-grade teacup.

In thirty years, not only had Li Shiming’s cultivation improved, but Yin Shilan also advanced from Nascent Soul Early Stage to Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Yin Shilan’s cultivation speed was extremely rare among the superpowers in the Cultivation World.

This rapid cultivation speed was mainly due to a batch of cultivation treasures sent by the Central State Commerce twenty years ago, which allowed Yin Shilan to save a lot of cultivation time.

Additionally, Li Shiming provided Yin Shilan with Great Cultivator Spirit Pills, including some Nascent Soul Early Stage High-level Spirit Pills and a few Nascent Soul Early Stage Top-Level Spirit Pills as well.

The last time Li Shiming came out of seclusion two years ago was when Yin Shilan advanced to Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Li Shiming supplemented Yin Shilan with some Nascent Soul Middle Stage High-level Spirit Pills, and in just two years, Yin Shilan’s realm in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage improved quite a bit.

Although the ’Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique’ from Luanyang Palace is a particularly suitable and gentle technique for a female cultivator, cultivating ’Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens’ should not be too aggressive; some grounding and accumulation are still necessary.
