Cultivation is just so scientific!

Li Shiming left the sect, with a miniaturized Little Feng perched on his shoulder.

Although Little Feng had shrunk, it was still extremely beautiful, resembling a miniature phoenix.

Of course, the Cultivation World has various spirit beasts, and many resemble a phoenix, so Little Feng's appearance wouldn't cause any trouble.

He didn't intend for Little Feng to advance to the fourth grade quickly, as Little Feng had advanced too fast previously and needed some time to stabilize.

Little Feng's future is bright. As long as it can reach the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, with enough resources, Little Feng is almost certain to become a Late Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pet.

Precisely because of Little Feng's immense potential, Li Shiming needed to pay more attention to its growth process.

Besides, he didn't lack Little Feng's combat strength. He seemed to be a Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner, but in reality, his combat power had long surpassed the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

Little Feng let out a 'chirping' sound towards the other shoulder of Li Shiming, but the Illusion Spirit Dragon, which was in an invisible state on that shoulder, ignored Little Feng.

"Little Feng, be quiet!" Li Shiming took out a Spiritual Beast Essence Boosting Pill and gave it to Little Feng, commanding it.

Little Feng swallowed the Spiritual Beast Essence Boosting Pill in one gulp, contentedly shrank its body, and lay on his shoulder.

He shook his head. Due to the nature of this mission, he wasn't in a rush for speed.

Just in time, the Gold Thunder Nascent Soul needed to get familiar with the 'Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique', so he flew by Sword Control all along the way.

This time, the Sword Control Flight was different from before. Previously, it was borrowing from the 'Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique', but this time it accurately executed the Sword Control Flight Technique of the 'Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique'.

His Sword Control Flight was accompanied by a faint sound of thunder, resulting from the deployment of the 'Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent' to perform the Sword Control Flight Technique.

Although Sword Control Flight had the sound of thunder, making it less stealthy, the 'Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent' enhanced its speed considerably.

He hadn't utilized full speed yet, but if he did, he could completely reach the speed of lightning.

At this moment, anyone observing his aura would assume he is a pure Sword Cultivator.

This was the aura of the Gold Thunder Nascent Soul, with the cultivation method runes of the 'Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique' within the Gold Thunder Nascent Soul causing it to present as a Sword Cultivation Nascent Soul of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

Li Shiming took out a Life Lamp, which belonged to Senior Brother Zhong Qiang.

Due to Senior Brother Zhong Qiang's Body Seizing, ordinary means couldn't find him; only this Life Lamp with his soul imprint could sense him when within a certain distance.

Li Shiming examined the Life Lamp and, finding nothing unusual, put it away again.

He had arrived at the boundaries of Guangyang State, which is vast, requiring much time to explore the entire region.

Before his eyes, the life-bound artifact IBMz15 displayed a map, presenting Guangyang State.

Any area he explored would be marked, ensuring he wouldn't miss anything.

The only concern was whether Senior Brother Zhong Qiang would leave Guangyang State. After losing his memory, the level of recovery of his powers, his current realm, his appearance, and even his gender were unknown variables.

Thus, though the mission seemed without danger, it was extremely troublesome.

Ahead, a cultivator was approaching. When encountering another cultivator in the wilds on equal footing, maintaining a safety distance is customary, as long as neither has enmity.

Li Shiming restrained the aura of the Gold Thunder Nascent Soul, switching to that of a Wood Thunder Nascent Soul.

This instantly made him appear as a Thunder Cultivator, without any Sword Cultivator aura leaking out.

"May I ask, are you Master Li Shizhen? Peng Qi of Carefree Tower salutes you!" The opposing cultivator, intent on avoiding trouble, cautiously kept a distance. However, upon passing, he recognized Li Shiming and respectfully inquired.

Li Shiming hadn't heard of Carefree Tower, presumably a modest force.

This Peng Qi was at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, posing no threat to Li Shiming.

Moreover, Li Shiming constantly maintained 'Divine Vision' and 'Telepathy', his Spirit surpassing Peng Qi significantly, clearly perceiving that Peng Qi harbored no ill will.

"Li Shizhen also greets Mr. Peng!" Li Shiming smiled and returned the gesture.

Peng Qi's eyes lit up; he had many friends, and one had given him a portrait of Li Shiming, thus recognizing him at once. Unexpectedly, Li Shiming was not arrogant, but approachable.

"Master Li, recently many cultivators from the Sun Concealing Sect have appeared here, you must be cautious!" Peng Qi provided Li Shiming with crucial information.

Li Shiming clearly understood that Peng Qi wanted to befriend him.

But the intelligence was undoubtedly true, as such matters could be verified at any time.

"Thank you, Mr. Peng, for the reminder!" Li Shiming expressed his gratitude.

He indeed had to thank Peng Qi; if unaware, falling into a Sun Concealing Sect trap would be extremely troublesome.

"I wonder if Master Li is currently concocting pills? Carefree Tower is willing to express utmost sincerity to request Master Li to help refine a batch of Spirit Pills!" Peng Qi went on to state his request.

He knew it might be unwise to ask a favor just after receiving one, but meeting Li Shiming was difficult, and if the favor wasn't used now, who knew when he'd chance upon Li Shiming again.
