Cultivation is just so scientific!

Originally feeling overwhelmed about the temple sending out a Third Grade Spirit Tea Tree, Zhi Ming Arhat had now come to an understanding and grasped the high-level considerations of the temple.

In the Cultivation World, cultivators with both background and talent are especially respected.

Li Shiming, having both a background and talent, was at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment, yet all the Golden Core cultivators conversed with him very politely.

Once all these cultivators had interacted with Li Shiming, the phase of the celebration involving him came to an end.

The subsequent activities involved exchanges of Spiritual Objects and Cultivation Techniques, which Li Shiming, not being a Golden Core cultivator, did not need to participate in.

Li Shiming, accompanied by Yin Shilan, Liang Yexuan, and Master Luo, who had been eyeing him, headed to Sword Holding Peak together.

Since Master Luo was the mentor of Yin Shilan and Liang Yexuan was her best friend, Li Shiming led them into his cave dwelling.

"Master Luo, this is a 'Youthful Elixir'!" Upon entering the cave dwelling, Li Shiming saw that Master Luo was hesitant to speak and, smiling, he promptly took out a jade bottle and handed it over, saying.

Master Luo looked at the jade bottle, her hand trembling slightly as she reached out.

She quickly adjusted her emotions, her disciple Yin Shilan was beside her, and she could not afford to make a fool of herself in front of her disciple.

She accepted the jade bottle, her Divine Thought scanned the inside, sensing the spirituality of the advanced 'Youthful Elixir', and she nodded in satisfaction.

She hesitated briefly, then took out a storage bag and handed it to Li Shiming.

Li Shiming did not demur, as the Third Grade Array Flag was extremely useful to him, an essential item for self-defense even at the Golden Core Stage.

For him, an Array Master having a Third Grade Array Flag in hand, the effects it could produce could influence Golden Core cultivators, whether defensively, in delusion or in attack.

Of course, due to his inadequate realm and not yet being an Array Master, he could not heavily injure Golden Core cultivators using an attack formation, but confusing or defending was perfectly feasible.

Li Shiming's Divine Thought entered the storage bag, and there were ninety Third Grade Array Flags inside; he nodded at Master Luo.

Seeing Li Shiming nod, Master Luo no longer hesitated and directly swallowed the advanced 'Youthful Elixir'.

Differing from the effect of the 'Youthful Elixir' on Li Shiming, Yin Shilan, and Liang Yexuan, who were all young, the transformation was not as shocking, although there was a change.

But for Master Luo, after swallowing the advanced 'Youthful Elixir', her face and all exposed skin were rapidly transforming.

She was quickly growing younger, the traces of years on her rapidly erased by an invisible hand, leaving only her youthful appearance.

"Congratulations, Master!"

"Congratulations, Master Uncle!"

Yin Shilan and Liang Yexuan bowed and congratulated her simultaneously, astonishment flashing in their eyes.

Li Shiming was also marveling at the magic of the 'Youthful Elixir', a single pill had transformed Master Luo, a middle-aged beauty, into a young girl, standing beside Yin Shilan and Liang Yexuan as if she were their sister.

Master Luo casually conjured a water curtain, using it as a mirror to look at her reflection.

In fact, her Divine Thought sweeping over herself was as effective as seeing with her eyes, but she preferred to see her current appearance with her eyes.

After clearly seeing her reflection in the water curtain, any regret from giving away a hundred and eight Third Grade Array Flags vanished, seeing her appearance revert to her youthful days, she would willingly give even ten times more.

"Shilan and Yexuan, have fun here, I'm going to meet a few friends!" Master Luo was eager to share with friends, and more importantly, many of her friends were at the celebration, a rare opportunity for them to rejoice for her.

When Master Luo returned to the celebration scene, she immediately dazzled the cultivators present.

It was not that Master Luo's appearance was unparalleled, but the cultivators usually recognized each other by aura; often, concealing aura was more crucial than hiding appearance.

So, even though Master Luo had returned to her youth, she was still recognized at a glance by the cultivators who knew her.

It was precisely because there was a stark contrast between her recent appearance and her current countenance that many cultivators were astounded.

Almost instantly, a group of female cultivators surrounded Master Luo, with barriers of Spiritual Power protecting them so that male cultivators outside could not disturb them.

Due to the large number of female cultivators deploying the Spiritual Power barriers, an area protected by more than ten layers of barriers appeared at the celebration.

Within the barriers, many female cultivators gazed at Master Luo with eyes filled with jealousy and admiration; these were all Golden Core cultivators, and among Golden Core female cultivators, relationships were generally close, making it easy to become friends when there were no conflicts of interest.

Moreover, those who came to the celebration were all righteous Golden Core female cultivators, well-acquainted with each other, leaving fewer reservations after deploying the Spiritual Power barriers.

Especially those few who were close friends with Master Luo, they went ahead and touched Master Luo's face and skin, prompting Master Luo to laugh and scold them playfully.

There were also Golden Core female cultivators whose eyes flickered, contemplating how to obtain a "Youthful Elixir."

Within Li Shiming's cave, he was showing Yin Shilan around his cave, with Liang Yexuan following behind like a little tail, not feeling out of place at all.

"The Spiritual Energy here is not right, very wrong!" Liang Yexuan suddenly exclaimed.

At that moment, Li Shiming took Yin Shilan to the Cultivation Room, a typically private space, but for Yin Shilan, Li Shiming had also visited her Cultivation Room, so naturally the reservations were less.

"The Spiritual Energy here is configured according to the standards of a Golden Core Elder!" Li Shiming explained with a smile.

He walked to the Third Grade Golden Lotus and carefully took out a water pouch, pouring two Spirit Cleansing Carps into the water.

Initially, he was worried that the Spirit Cleansing Carps might not adapt to this place, but when they swam joyously around the Third Grade Golden Lotus and occasionally leaped excitedly out of the water, he realized he had worried needlessly.

"This is a Third Grade Golden Lotus, no wonder you've cultivated to the Late-stage Foundation Establishment, having such a treasure!" Liang Yexuan, who knew her stuff, exclaimed again.

Yin Shilan and Li Shiming exchanged smiles, undisturbed by Liang Yexuan's outburst, both pondering what life together would be like in the future.

There wasn't much to see in the cave, but Li Shiming was actually letting Yin Shilan know that this might be their joint cave after the Golden Core stage.

Of course, if Li Shiming wished, he could reapply for a spirit mountain, and could even request an entire mountain range.

But given his age, he wouldn't leave Elder Su too far behind until he was ready to take on disciples.

After surveying the cave, Li Shiming always felt that Yin Shilan was preoccupied with something.

"Lan'er, don't keep things to yourself; let's face them together!" he said softly, trying to comfort her.

"Shiming, my parents and sister have sent a message through the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple; they want to come to the Beishu Continent and borrow a commercial Flying Boat from the Beishu Trading Company, but the manager of the Beishu Trading Company that father knew has been transferred, and they said they wouldn't interfere with matters concerning Sky Sea Island, so they haven't been able to proceed.

You have some connections with the Beihai Trading Company, could you please ask someone to help clear this up?" Yin Shilan hesitated, then revealed her concerns.

The situation in Sky Sea Island had become clear; the original seven major sects were being gradually absorbed by the Mingxin Sect, and many cultivators from the seven major sects, due to issues such as resources, chose to join the Mingxin Sect which held the majority of resources in Sky Sea Island.

The Sky Sea Sect was in disarray, and several Golden Core cultivators saw no future and made their own choices.

Elder Yin decided to take his Daoist couple, Elder Ren, and his daughter Ren Fei'er to the Beishu Continent, but unfortunately, they had not been able to set off, and considering that Yin Shilan would worry, they sent a message through their connections to the Beishu Continent.

The message, after several transfers, finally reached Yin Shilan.

Yin Shilan, seeing the valuable gifts sent by the Beishu Trading Company to Li Shiming, thought to ask Li Shiming for help.

"This is a simple matter; I will ask the Beishu Trading Company to pick up Uncle Yin!" This was a very easy task for the current Li Shiming, and he agreed with a smile.
