Chapter 1989: Chapter 1041: Advancement
Since Li Shiming refined three ’Flying Night Demons’, the status of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect greatly improved.
Even the various commercial activities in the Cultivation World inexplicably prospered.
Superpowers extended olive branches to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, the emerging superpower, and under the support of various superpowers, it is rapidly strengthening its foundations.
Ever since Li Shiming handed the refined high-level fifth-grade Spirit Pills to various Great Powers, more Great Powers wanted him to refine fifth-grade Spirit Pills.
His Great Power exclusive Communication Array is only open to friends, so those seeking pills can only send Great Power Avatars to the Dongqi Continent.
For a time, the Dongqi Continent was frequently visited by Great Power Avatars.
Unlike before, these Great Power Avatars contact the Ten Thousand Beast Sect upon nearing the Dongqi Continent to declare their identity.
They must do this, as if Li Shiming perceives an enemy invasion, given his displayed combat power, no Great Power dares claim they can oppose Li Shiming.
Li Shiming was in high spirits, with each additional Great Power Avatar visiting, he could gain considerable benefits.
He hasn’t yet reached the stage where he needs to consume fifth-grade Spirit Pills, but this accumulation benefits his cultivation at the Great Power Realm greatly.
He’s even contemplating whether it’s necessary for him to venture outside for adventure.
Staying in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, he has Great Powers working for him.
Yes, superficially, it appears that the Great Powers requested he refine pills, but the reality is that the Great Powers need to offer a fifth-grade Spiritual Medicine as compensation to have him refine a batch of fifth-grade Spirit Pills.
The richness of his harvest is so considerable that it might make the Great Powers feel disheartened.
A Great Power pays the price of two fifth-grade Spiritual Medicines and can only obtain two high-level fifth-grade Spirit Pills, while Li Shiming can get ten high-level fifth-grade Spirit Pills, the disparity is truly vast.
Precisely because of such tremendous benefits, for a considerable time, Li Shiming doesn’t plan to leave this place.
His days are extremely leisurely, genuinely achieving mastery over his own fate, having the power for self-protection.
His understanding of the power for self-protection is fundamentally different from other cultivators’ understanding.
His understanding of self-protection means being invincible against any cultivator within the Cultivation World, even when faced with a joint attack from multiple cultivators.
This power for self-protection, in other words, is invincibility.
Of course, this invincibility is in the current Cultivation World when confronting Inheritor Great Powers.
He hasn’t seen many Free Great Powers and isn’t willing to ensure he can suppress all Free Great Powers.
But since Free Great Powers aren’t in the Cultivation World, it allows him to confidently claim he possesses the power for self-protection.
After invincibility, there’s an absence of opponents.
Whether it’s Li Shiming, Li Taibai, or Li Yuanba, none have enemies to contest.
Fortunately, they are in a period of rapid cultivation growth, needing ample time to enhance Cave Heaven Energy.
In peaceful days, Li Shiming accepted a disciple, a direct descendant of Grandmaster Hu, named Hu Sheng.
Of course, accepting Hu Sheng as a disciple wasn’t solely because he’s a direct descendant of Grandmaster Hu, but due to Hu Sheng’s exceptional talent, successfully contracting with a young Red Gold Phoenix upon entering the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven.
This delighted Grandmaster Hu immensely, prompting him to personally seek out Li Shiming, requesting him to accept Hu Sheng as a disciple.
Seeing Hu Sheng, Li Shiming couldn’t help but reflect on his past self, feeling a fondness for talent, coinciding with cultivating Great Power seeds for the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, thus he accepted Hu Sheng.
His cultivation of Hu Sheng was indeed vigorous.
From resources to explaining Cultivation Techniques, all were given special attention.
He nurtured Hu Sheng to the Great Cultivator Realm and, like Tang Zhe, granted him a top-level Fourth Grade Magical Treasure and two life-saving talismans before letting him strive independently.
In his view, the realms before the Great Cultivator Realm are not deeply related to rules; only at the Great Cultivator Realm should growth not be forced.
At the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, Li Yuanba also accepted a disciple.
Li Yuanba took a disciple out of courtesy, the newly accepted disciple named Jian Jiuming, a direct descendant of the Jian Family.
Sword Elder and Jian Wuwei always hoped Li Yuanba would take a disciple, but Li Shiming delayed until Jian Wuwei used the master’s identity before Li Shiming chose Jian Jiuming from the Jian Family lineage.
He has no intention of leaving his lineage’s legacy at the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, as he’s just an avatar, leaving a legacy isn’t meaningful to him.
The advantage of being accepted as his disciple is the short-term access to abundant top-tier cultivation resources, enabling Jian Jiuming to rapidly break through to the Great Cultivator Realm.
With resources and Great Power-level guidance, as long as the cultivator’s innate talent isn’t too poor, advancing to the Great Cultivator Realm is quite easy.
Of course, this is limited to Li Shiming, no other Great Power, even with resources for disciples, can match what Li Shiming offers.
High-quality Spirit Pills can only be guaranteed by Li Shiming in the entire Cultivation World.
Other Great Powers seeking high-quality Spirit Pills must pay a significant price, unsuitable for their disciples.
Turning a century, Li Shiming hadn’t awaited news of Yin Shilan’s promotion, and he returned to the ’Thunder Prison’.
This time, it was Little Feng and the Illusion Spirit Dragon, both reaching the Half-step Fifth Grade Peak.
