Chapter 410: Chapter 251 Trade_2
“I’m here!” Liang Yexuan announced as she had already activated the formation and was flying towards the pavilion on the mountain top from outside of the formation.
When she saw Master Luo and Elder Niu in the pavilion, she couldn’t help but stick out her tongue and quickly greeted them.
“Ye Xuan is still as impetuous as ever. What’s the big rush?” Master Luo said, looking at Liang Yexuan with indulgence.
Even Elder Niu’s face broke into a smile, not at all angered by Liang Yexuan’s irreverence, instead smiling affably.
Unlike other True Disciples, Liang Yexuan had lived in the sect from a young age and under her father, Elder Liang’s protection, all the Golden Core Elders in the sect were quite fond of her, having watched her grow up.
“It’s nothing, really nothing!” Liang Yexuan quickly stashed the jade box she had been holding into her storage bracelet and shook her head repeatedly.
She was clever, and would certainly not bring up the ‘Youthful Elixir’ in front of Master Luo.
Her trade with Li Shiming hadn’t yet concluded, and speaking of it, with Master Luo’s wealth, obtaining a full set of Five Elements Array Materials, let alone just two pieces, would be no difficult task for him.
She had finally managed to coax and charm two pieces of Third Grade Five Elements Formation materials from her father, and she could not let anyone else snatch them away.
Watching Liang Yexuan’s evasive actions, Master Luo chuckled and shook his head, not minding in the least. It was just a small secret among young people, after all.
“Li Shiming, Shilan, I won’t stay here and disturb your reunion!” Master Luo said with a laugh.
“Mr. Li, I will also take Xiao Ke back and come to apologize later!” Elder Niu then excused himself.
The two Golden Core cultivators left with Xiao Ke, while Li Shiming bowed in farewell.
“Almost got questioned by Elder Luo!” Liang Yexuan patted her chest, speaking with a sense of relief.
“Are the Third Grade Formation materials coming so soon?” Yin Shilan asked curiously.
“I wept in front of my father, and then he gave them to me!” Liang Yexuan said, slightly pleased with herself.
She took out the jade box and handed it to Li Shiming, looking at him eagerly with clear expectations.
Li Shiming, unapologetically, opened the jade box in front of her and inspected the wood attribute and water attribute Third Grade Formation materials.
Both pieces of Third Grade Formation materials were top-quality and met his requirements.
Of course, the Thousand Illusion Sect being a major sect, the high-ranking Golden Core Elders held resources beyond what outsiders could imagine.
He felt a wave of relief, having now acquired all five types of Third Grade Five Elements Formation materials. He had also reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and only awaited crafting the Spirit Pill needed for his advancement to the Golden Core Stage. With that, his preparations for advancing to the Golden Core Stage would be complete.
Then it would be up to his luck whether he could advance to Golden Core, as both resources and luck were crucial factors.
Li Shiming took out a jade bottle and placed it on the stone table in front of him.
Liang Yexuan eagerly picked up the jade bottle from the stone table, carefully opened it, and examined its contents.
In her mind, she recalled the sect’s records about the ‘Youthful Elixir.’ As a cultivator with her background, even if she hadn’t seen a Spirit Pill before, she could still ascertain its authenticity based on the sect’s records.
After checking it, a look of ecstasy appeared on her face. What Third Grade materials? None compared to this ‘Youthful Elixir,’ a pill that could preserve her youthful appearance indefinitely.
Any female cultivator would go crazy for a ‘Youthful Elixir.’ Trading it for just two pieces of Third Grade materials seemed a great deal to her. She even felt that Li Shiming was taking good care of her for Yin Shilan’s sake.
“The deal is settled!” Liang Yexuan said as she didn’t wait any longer and swallowed the ‘Youthful Elixir’ in one gulp.
Such a Spirit Pill was too risky to keep in hand. If any influential female cultivator saw it, who knew who would end up consuming it!
It was safer to just consume it immediately, as its effect would be the same whenever she took it.
Liang Yexuan’s skin was visibly becoming supple and slick, its pores almost invisible, truly as delicate as a bubble ready to pop.
She felt the transformation in herself, touching her face, her mouth involuntarily agape, not at all ladylike, but then again, she had never been one.
“Shilan, look at my skin!” She excitedly grabbed Yin Shilan, sharing her joy.
“Liang Yexuan, it’s getting late, shouldn’t you be heading back now?” Li Shiming didn’t indulge in Liang Yexuan’s excitement, and instead reminded her.
He had hardly come all this way and had not spent much time with Yin Shilan before he was being interrupted constantly.
“I know, I’m going to the other sisters!” Liang Yexuan said as she soared into the air, as hastily as her temperament, as quickly as she had come, that’s how swiftly she left.
Li Shiming was about to remind her not to speak of the ‘Youthful Elixir’, but Liang Yexuan had left using an escape skill, not giving him a chance to speak.
“Lan’er, it seems I can’t stay for long, I should leave now, otherwise it could really lead to trouble!” Li Shiming knew that once the news of the ‘Youthful Elixir’ spread, he would have a hard time getting away.
“Shiming, there will be many opportunities to meet in the future, I’ll be waiting for you!” Although Yin Shilan felt that the separation came too quickly, she did not ask Li Shiming to stay longer. She spoke softly.
Li Shiming was moved, he gently embraced Yin Shilan.
“Once we reach the Golden Core Stage, we’ll become Daoist couples, and we’ll never be apart!” He declared firmly.
“Mm!” At this moment, Yin Shilan felt like the happiest woman in the world.
The Thousand Illusion Sect had many female cultivators. This was related to the sect’s cultivation techniques, many of which were more suited to female cultivators.
True to Li Shiming’s worries, Liang Yexuan had gone to boast to her group of junior sisters, and soon news of the ‘Youthful Elixir’ exploded among the female cultivators of the Thousand Illusion Sect.
Shortly after returning to her cave dwelling, Master Luo received messages from many sect female cultivators, all asking about Li Shiming, wanting to meet him.
She was puzzled why so many cultivators, especially these female cultivators, including several Golden Core cultivators, wanted to meet Li Shiming. Had Li Shiming stirred up trouble with so many sect cultivators in such a short time?
After her inquiry, a female Golden Core cultivator who was in very good terms with Master Luo told her about Liang Yexuan obtaining a ‘Youthful Elixir’ from Li Shiming.
Upon learning the news, Master Luo stood in place, stunned. She remembered Liang Yexuan’s nervous demeanor, not wanting others to know, and figured it must have been about the ‘Youthful Elixir’ she was about to trade with Li Shiming.
Master Luo regretted it deeply throughout the day.
Had she only asked further, given Liang Yexuan’s nature, she couldn’t have hidden it from her.
She touched her own face; one ‘Youthful Elixir’ could bring back the splendor of her youth. She was a woman too, and even if she practiced the Youthful Appearance Technique, it was not as effective as one ‘Youthful Elixir’.
Master Luo cared not about arranging meetings for those seeking Li Shiming, she disappeared in a flash heading towards Yin Shilan’s mountain peak.
She thought of Yin Shilan’s transformation, which she hadn’t paid much attention to initially. Now, it seemed likely that it was due to the ‘Youthful Elixir’.
One for Yin Shilan, one for Liang Yexuan, if Li Shiming had distributed two ‘Youthful Elixirs’, then he must have taken one himself, suggesting Li Shiming should still have some ‘Youthful Elixirs’ in his possession.
Since Li Shiming was a high-level alchemist, there was a high probability the ‘Youthful Elixirs’ were his own creation.

Moreover, with Li Shiming’s alchemy skills, a second-grade Spirit Pill was always produced in full quantity, meaning Li Shiming would have at least seven ‘Youthful Elixirs’ left.
With this thought, Master Luo’s flight sped up. The two mountain peaks were close; it only took a few moments to reach the outside of Yin Shilan’s peak, where she launched a spell.
When she entered the formation, she only saw Yin Shilan alone, with no sign of Li Shiming, her heart sank realizing she was too late.
Meanwhile, many cultivators from the Thousand Illusion Sect were looking for Li Shiming, and some were approaching Yin Shilan. For a long time, Yin Shilan would not know tranquility. However, that too was a kind of blissful nuisance.
