Cultivation is just so scientific!

Li Shiming's reputation in alchemy is immense, but the cultivators who can truly invite him to perform alchemy are very few, mostly from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

"What is the greatest sincerity?" Li Shiming did not immediately refuse, being able to return a favor while also receiving remuneration and increasing his reserve of spirit pills, why not do it?

Peng Qi was not surprised but happy to hear Li Shiming ask this, since asking such a thing means he has actually agreed to the alchemy affair.

"Please ask Master Li to refine Nascent Soul Early Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pills, speak freely on your remuneration requirements, Carefree Tower has over four thousand years of history and some surplus as well!" replied Peng Qi with a smile.

"I need fourth-grade artifact refining metal, I suppose my alchemy rules you must know!" Li Shiming thought for a moment before replying.

"Of course I know the rules, please Master Li, move to Carefree Tower!" invited Peng Qi with a smile.

He didn't expect that the remuneration Li Shiming wanted wasn't difficult to obtain, thus, this batch of spiritual medicine accumulated by Carefree Tower could be entirely refined.

Fourth-grade artifact refining metal is indeed precious, but any force would have a considerable stock, and even through certain channels, it can be bought.

Fourth-grade artifact refining metal can be purchased, but the quality of the Fourth Grade Spirit Pill refined by Li Shiming cannot be bought.

Peng Qi led the way, Li Shiming followed behind.

Though Carefree Tower is named a tower, it is actually a medium-sized sect.

As the largest force in Guangyang State, Li Shiming's agreement to the alchemy affair also had a hint of wanting to explore Carefree Tower.

This type of sect with a large formation, even if he brought the Life Lamp to the sect formation's exterior, the formation's shield prevents the Life Lamp from receiving accurate feedback.

The refining of the Nascent Soul Early Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pill is not complex, nor does it take long time, he can simultaneously open two furnaces, not occupying much of his time.

"Mr. Qin greets Master Li, the arrival of Master Li brings glory to Carefree Tower!" Outside the sect of Carefree Tower, another Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator, Qin Shu, had long been waiting there, upon seeing Li Shiming, he stepped forward to greet and welcome him.

"Mr. Qin, no need for excessive courtesy, bring forth the spiritual medicine, and arrange for a quiet place, I'll begin alchemy immediately!" Li Shiming smiled and returned the courtesy.

"Master Li is straightforward, the cave abode is already prepared for you, the spiritual medicine is here!" Qin Shu took out a storage bag and pointed to a location.

Li Shiming took the storage bag and entered the temporary cave abode prepared for him.

In the storage bag, there were twelve sets of spiritual medicine, along with the corresponding four-grade pill formula, and sufficient fourth-grade artifact refining metal, although all were fourth-grade lower stage quality, it was definitely according to the rules, the remuneration was abundant.

In fact, he only needed to open four furnaces for spirit pills, the remaining spiritual medicine would be his, whenever he's free, he'd refine them all into fourth-grade high-level spirit pills.

He could open two furnaces simultaneously, in fact the needed alchemy time is merely two days to finish.

He certainly couldn't deliver spirit pills in two days, instead he waited five days before leaving the cave abode.

Outside the cave abode, Qin Shu and Peng Qi, two Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators, waited for Li Shiming to come out, and looked at him with expectant eyes.

Though Li Shiming's reputation is well-known, with stable alchemy results, these twelve sets of spiritual medicine of sect have been saved for a long time, if there's any problem, sect's years of effort would be in vain.

What they were most worried about was Li Shiming's alchemy time was too short, short enough to make them believe he must have failed a few furnaces to be so.

According to normal alchemy speeds, Li Shiming shouldn't be coming out at this moment.

Li Shiming sensed their mood, didn't speak but smiled, handing over a jade bottle.

"Master Li's alchemy skills are indeed as stable as rumored, you're the highest-level alchemy master I've ever seen in my life!" Qin Shu, who is good at speaking, spilled compliments like they were free.

He wasn't speaking randomly, the Fourth Grade Spirit Pill in his hands, though not high-level quality, is only a hair's breadth away from high-level quality, and all Fourth Grade Spirit Pills are of consistent quality.

Though several alchemy masters occasionally have extraordinary luck and refine Fourth Grade High-level Spirit Pills.

But these alchemy masters have a higher probability of refining low-level Fourth Grade Spirit Pills, far from being worry-free in terms of the spirit pill quality compared to Li Shiming.

"Master Li, a Nascent Soul Mid-stage practitioner of Sun Concealing Sect, Zhao Lingyu, alongside two Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners seem to be looking for something, they're exploring various places in Guangyang State!" Peng Qi hesitated slightly but came forward to transmit a message.

To say this reminder a few days ago was a friendly gesture, this reminder is different, this kind of specific intelligence disclosure will offend Sun Concealing Sect.

With Carefree Tower's strength, offending Sun Concealing Sect risks sect annihilation.

"Zhao Lingyu?" Li Shiming was startled on hearing this name, isn't this the Sun Concealing Sect Nascent Soul cultivator who battled Senior Brother Zhong Qiang?

"How come he's here, could it be..."

Li Shiming's heart jolted, he thought of a possibility.

Both Ten Thousand Beast Sect and Sun Concealing Sect are large sects, mutual infiltration into each other's sects has always been ongoing.

This time, Senior Brother Zhong's body seizing rebirth news might have already been sent by spies from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect to Sun Concealing Sect, otherwise why would Zhao Lingyu appear so coincidentally here.

"I acknowledge this kindness, here is my contact info, we can connect in the future!" Li Shiming took out a communication token and said.

This was his external contact token, Peng Qi and Qin Shu exchanged contact details.

Li Shiming's action equivalently acknowledged them and formally befriended them.

The two Nascent Soul practitioners were naturally delighted, being accepted by such a high-level alchemy master like Li Shiming, future alchemy matters would be convenient.

Although Li Shiming's alchemy remuneration is quite high, in Dongqi Continent, many cultivators even with remuneration cannot invite Li Shiming for alchemy.

An alchemy master's energy is limited, a significant portion of which needs to fulfill sect tasks, subtract cultivation time, and the other alchemy tasks he can accept are not many.

When Li Shiming left Carefree Tower, he didn't forget to check the Life Lamp, he found the Life Lamp unresponsive, indicating Senior Brother Zhong's body seizing rebuilt body is not inside Carefree Tower's sect.

After leaving Carefree Tower, he immediately used his natal artifact IBMz15 to link with the drone satellite system.

Originally this safe task he treated as a leisure affair, Guangyang State belongs to a rather remote region, with his strength, there's no problem regarding safety.

Of course, most importantly, he released Little Feng and the Illusion Spirit Dragon, these two spiritual pets have extremely keen danger senses, he need not worry about ambushes arranged by cultivators, thus he seldom paid attention to the drone satellite system.

Now things are different, knowing enemies are in this area, he must grasp the enemy's movements.

The number of Nascent Soul practitioners in Guangyang State is limited, each one's position is marked by the drone satellite system.

In the subsequent time, IBMz15 would record the drone satellite system's marked Nascent Soul practitioner's position every so often, after a day, three Nascent Soul practitioners' movements were most frequent.

No need to say more, these three nascent soul practitioners should be the three from Sun Concealing Sect.

Li Shiming, based on the vague vicinity around the three Nascent Soul practitioners, judged one should be the Nascent Soul Mid-stage Zhao Lingyu.

On the virtual screen before him, Zhao Lingyu's action trajectory was plotted, simultaneously, through action trajectory analysis research, IBMz15 offered a predictive Zhao Lingyu's action trajectory.

He didn't bother with the other two Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners, moving on them first would startle the snake, making it difficult to then ambush Zhao Lingyu.

Though he hasn't met Senior Brother Zhong Qiang, as a disciple of Grandmaster Hu, avenging Senior Brother isn't for camaraderie, it's for Grandmaster Hu.

Grandmaster Hu cares greatly for Senior Brother Zhong Qiang, he doesn't want to disappoint his master.
