Chapter 942: Chapter 517: Revealing Talents (Part 2)

“Master Li, can you stabilize the quality of the ‘Flying Phoenix Primordial Yang Pill’ at an intermediate level?” she couldn’t help but ask.

This question was also of concern to Master Jiang Hong. The three Alchemy Masters of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect who could refine Nascent Soul Middle Late Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pills sometimes managed to produce intermediate quality Fourth Grade Spirit Pills.

However, they absolutely couldn’t stabilize the quality, as their alchemy skills could only ensure a twenty to thirty percent intermediate quality yield.

Furthermore, looking at the six ‘Flying Phoenix Primordial Yang Pills’ refined by Li Shiming, each one was just a shade away from high quality, much like the quality of the Nascent Soul Early Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pills he had refined.

Master Jiang Hong was greatly suspicious that Li Shiming possessed some Secret Technique to enhance pill quality.

But such a Secret Technique was Li Shiming’s secret. No matter how good the friendship, it wasn’t something that could be divulged.

“When I perform alchemy, I always feel like I’ve hit a bottleneck. The highest quality of pills I can refine is only to this extent, and trying to improve further is impossible!” Li Shiming shook his head and said helplessly.

Feng Lanxin didn’t know what to say, she always felt like Li Shiming was showing off.

Master Jiang Hong felt like hitting something. This was a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pill, and Li Shiming’s alchemy capability in refining these pills was absolutely the best in the sect.

If Li Shiming were to refine Nascent Soul Late Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pills with the same quality, he would be acclaimed as the top Alchemy Master of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

“Master Li, are you ready to enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven?” Feng Lanxin returned the jade bottle to Li Shiming, changing the subject asked.

“I’m ready. Is there anything else I need to be careful about?” Li Shiming nodded and asked.

“You have the Identity Jade Disc of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. As long as you don’t actively attack spirit beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven, you won’t be in danger. But whatever you do, do not attempt to make contracts with adult spirit beasts or kill any spirit beasts. The spirit beasts within the Cave Heaven are important assets of the sect!” Feng Lanxin seriously exhorted.

Entering the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven, the most important thing is opportunity, and she couldn’t give much advice beyond this. Everything would depend on Li Shiming’s fate inside the Cave Heaven.

“Master Li will accompany Junior Sister Feng to the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven. I must report matters concerning Master Li and cannot go with you!” Master Jiang Hong bid farewell.

With that, he turned and left. Feng Lanxin watched his back, a contemplative look in her eyes.

Li Shiming felt helpless. He had cultivated the ‘Telepathy’. Though his Spirit was not strong enough to hear Master Jiang Hong’s thoughts directly, he could still perceive Master Jiang Hong’s emotional changes.

For the sake of his plan, he had to display a certain level of alchemy skill, but by truly showcasing his abilities, he triggered Master Jiang Hong’s jealousy, something he hadn’t anticipated.

He didn’t want it to be this way, Jiang Hong had been kind to him.

“Forget it, let him be. Hopefully, it won’t turn us into enemies!” he thought to himself.

“Master Li, come with me!” Feng Lanxin smiled and said.

Under Feng Lanxin’s guidance, Li Shiming arrived in a valley. After passing through multiple formation scans, he finally entered the inner part of the valley.

Upon entering the valley, he sensed a powerful aura, which was the aura of a Great Cultivator.

For such a crucial place as the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven, having a Great Cultivator for protection was normal.

“Grandmaster Hu, Lanxin brings the newly promoted Nascent Soul Cultivator Li Shizhen!” Feng Lanxin bowed towards the void and greeted.

Given Feng Lanxin’s cultivation level, Grandmaster Hu, who was called master ancestor, was likely the oldest in both age and rank within the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Li Shiming dared not be disrespectful in the slightest, bowing to show his respect.

“Lanxin child, you seldom bring people here, seems like another genius has emerged in the Phoenix line!” Grandmaster Hu’s voice was exceedingly gentle, as if he were a close elder of Feng Lanxin’s.

“Li Shizhen is an Alchemy Master!” Feng Lanxin introduced. Believing her previous statement insufficient, she added: “He is the best Alchemy Master in alchemy skills!”

This additional sentence seemed to work, as Li Shiming saw a flash, and a figure appeared before him.

Grandmaster Hu was the most elderly cultivator Li Shiming had ever seen, with a face full of wrinkles and entirely white hair and beard.

However, his eyes were completely clear, like a pristine spring, in stark contrast to his elderly appearance.

“Finally, another Alchemy Master capable of refining Nascent Soul Middle Late Stage Spirit Pills emerges. Once your alchemy skills stabilize, I’ll ask for your help in alchemy!” Grandmaster Hu looked at Li Shiming, saying with a tone of slight joy.

Through the course of his life, many Alchemy Masters had appeared.

But few Alchemy Masters possessed the cultivation talent to pass the Heavenly Tribulation and advance to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Currently, the three Alchemy Masters able to refine Nascent Soul Late Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pills didn’t meet his expectations.

None of these three Alchemy Masters could ensure a full pill, let alone guarantee the quality.

Grandmaster Hu desired to advance further, to touch the threshold of the Mahayana, for which, he needed an Alchemy Master with superior skills.

He knew that Feng Lanxin wouldn’t speak carelessly before him. Since Feng Lanxin had spoken such praise, then Li Shizhen’s alchemy skills must indeed be exceptional, possibly surpassing those of the three Alchemy Masters.

“Grandmaster Hu, Master Li can ensure an intermediate quality for every furnace of Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pills he makes. After familiarizing himself a bit more, he can attempt refining Nascent Soul Late Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pills, and I don’t think the quality will differ much. He had just advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage and already has this level of alchemy skill!” Feng Lanxin introduced with pride.

Li Shiming was indeed an Alchemy Master of the Phoenix lineage, and as she had no competition with Li Shiming in terms of alchemy, the higher his alchemy skill, the more valuable to the Phoenix lineage he became.

“Let me see the Spirit Pill you refined!” Grandmaster Hu said to Li Shiming.

Being a Great Cultivator, topmost in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, his manner of speaking was straightforward.

“Please guide me, Grandmaster Hu!” Li Shiming retrieved the jade bottle and handed it over.

Grandmaster Hu didn’t take the jade bottle, simply sweeping it with his Divine Sense, a smile appearing on his face.

His smile, amidst all the wrinkles, resembled a blooming chrysanthemum.

“Master Li, when you feel confident, come to me for materials. I have great confidence in you!” He nodded and said with a smile.

It was only at this moment that he addressed Li Shiming as Master, a testament to his acknowledgment of Li Shiming’s alchemy abilities.

“Yes, Grandmaster Hu!” Li Shiming bowed in response.

“You are going to enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven, take this with you. It might help you a little!” Grandmaster Hu thought for a moment, took out a fragment and handed it to Li Shiming.

Li Shiming accepted the fragment respectfully, finding it to be a piece of an eggshell.

The eggshell fragment carried an extremely unique aura he had sensed before on the spiritual pets of the Phoenix Clan, the aura of pure Phoenix Clan bloodline.

This eggshell fragment likely belonged to a spiritual pet of the Phoenix Clan, and holding it might better attract the spiritual pets of the Phoenix Clan.

“Grandmaster Hu, you surely are generous, this is a Red Gold Phoenix eggshell fragment!” Feng Lanxin said enviously, then turned to Li Shiming and said, “Master Li, thank Grandmaster Hu quickly. With this Red Gold Phoenix eggshell fragment in hand, you have a better chance of attracting a Phoenix Clan spiritual pet.”

Though she said the chance of contracting a Red Gold Phoenix was higher, she understood this was somewhat of an exaggerated statement.

In the sect’s history, less than five cultivators had the fortune of contracting a Red Gold Phoenix, and even among them, few managed to contract a Red Gold Phoenix Egg, which can only form when a Phoenix reaches the end of its cycle and reincarnates.

“Thank you, Grandmaster Hu, for your gift!” It was only then that Li Shiming understood the rarity of the Red Gold Phoenix eggshell fragment in his hand.

He respectfully accepted the fragment, understanding its value in better attracting Phoenix Clan spiritual pets.
