Cultivation is just so scientific!

Though Li Shiming thought he wouldn't use the Spiritual Objects from the two Mustard Seed Rings, the 'Seven Stars Nascent Soul Pill' was right here, significantly aiding his advancement to the Nascent Soul Stage, how could he not use it.

Day by day passed, and like usual, he spent his days either cultivating or refining pills, and when he had spare time, he would visit the Book Collection Pavilion to read.

Thus, ten years went by, and he never left the sect; he had firmly established himself within the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Using his alchemy skills, he befriended the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Feng lineage within the sect, and factions friendly to Feng lineage, making him somewhat influential in the sect.

Of course, as he could only refine Nascent Soul Early Stage Fourth-grade Spirit Pills, the cultivators he befriended were all Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners, and his influence could only be considered ordinary.

Yet, even then, it was enough to protect him, a Golden Core cultivator.

That day, Li Shiming went to Sect Master Ji for an audience, Sect Master Ji got the message and let him in.

"Greetings, Sect Master!" Li Shiming entered the hall, bowed, and greeted.

"Master Li, you've accomplished a sizable number of alchemy tasks for the sect over the years, accumulating quite a lot of contribution points. Is there something you require this time?" Sect Master Ji smiled, virtually lifting him as she spoke.

Li Shiming wouldn't seek out the sect master without a reason; judging by his expression, it's clear he has a request.

Her impression of Li Shiming was very positive, how could a sect master not favor an alchemy master who diligently completed sect tasks? Li Shiming completed almost all the Nascent Soul Early Stage Fourth-grade Spirit Pill tasks in the past decade.

Before this, no alchemy master was willing to take on these tasks, forcing her as the sect master to allocate them, offending the alchemy masters and unable to ensure quality.

Look now, each Fourth-grade Spirit Pill refined by Li Shiming is of intermediate quality, and among them, they are the top tier.

It is thanks to such Fourth-grade Spirit Pills that the Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners in the sect have become proactive, each willing to undertake other sect tasks to obtain the reward of Fourth-grade Spirit Pills.

The sect thus appears flourishing, making her as sect master feel relaxed.

"Sect Master, I'm here to exchange for the use of a Fourth Grade Seclusion Room!" Li Shiming took out his Identity Jade Disc and said.

The Fourth Grade Seclusion Room he mentioned is the most special resource in the sect, and also the most sought-after resource.

The Fourth Grade Seclusion Room is specifically prepared for cultivators about to advance, its interior filled with spiritual energy several times more abundant than the normal Nascent Soul Level Spirit Veins, and has various beneficial effects, increasing the chances of advancement for the cultivator.

This Fourth Grade Seclusion Room is not just for cultivators advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage; it's needed when a Nascent Soul cultivator advances from early to middle stage, middle to late stage.

A Nascent Soul cultivator's minor advancement may take decades during one seclusion, which makes the Fourth Grade Seclusion Room always in high demand.

"You have the accumulation now? Feeling confident?" Sect Master Ji asked with surprise.

She always cared about Li Shiming's advancement.

Her concern wasn't just because of Li Shiming's importance to the sect but also because she, as the sect master, needed Li Shiming to advance as soon as possible. If Li Shiming could become a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he could then refine Nascent Soul Middle Late Stage Fourth-grade Spirit Pills.

Given Li Shiming's demonstrated alchemy ability, he might immediately rank among the top alchemy masters of the sect, maintaining his current alchemy ability, even ranking first isn't impossible.

Sect Master Ji was also willing to send her Fourth-grade Refining Materials to Li Shiming, as she knew many Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners in the sect were holding onto Fourth-grade Refining Materials, all waiting for Li Shiming's advancement.

"Thank you for your concern, Sect Master, I feel the timing is right!" Li Shiming replied with a smile.

"Good, you have accumulated plenty of contribution points over the years, I will exchange them for you to use a Fourth Grade Seclusion Room, the specific duration depends on your actual usage time, the extra contribution points will be exchanged for these two Spirit Pills instead!" Sect Master Ji nodded and said.

With a wave of her hand, two jade bottles and one jade token floated out and landed before Li Shiming.

Li Shiming didn't need to open the jade bottles, just by looking at the words on the bottles, he knew what Spirit Pills were inside.

'Supreme Nascent Formation Pill' and 'Supreme Infant Stabilizing Pill', the quality of these two Fourth-grade Spirit Pills was intermediate, their rarity was extremely high even within Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

The so-called contribution point exchange was entirely Sect Master Ji taking care of him.

These two Fourth-grade Spirit Pills couldn't be exchanged for contribution points; he had never seen them on the sect's exchange list.

The jade token had a 'five' inscribed, which was the control token for the Fourth Grade Seclusion Room.

Due to the importance of the Fourth Grade Seclusion Room, the distribution of authorization to use it was personally overseen by Sect Master Ji.

"Off you go, may your advancement be smooth!" Sect Master Ji waved her hand and said.

Li Shiming bowed and exited the hall.

Over these ten years, all the contribution points he earned from completing sect alchemy tasks were almost entirely emptied, yet he held no grudge.

He waited ten years to prepare for advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage, not simply for physical adjustment and mindset, but to reduce trouble.

The death of Young Master Zhang Xian had a greater impact than he expected.

In the initial years, Feiyun Pavilion mobilized every resource it could, investigating every suspicious target.

Li Shiming managed to avoid suspicion from Feiyun Pavilion by using his identity as an alchemy master as cover.

Mainly because he didn't use the Illusion Spirit Jiao at the entrance of Green Field Cave Heaven, leaving no trace of his jiao's presence, although he's a Thunder Cultivator, he's most renowned in Ten Thousand Beast Sect not for his alchemy but for having a Spirit Pet with a highly concentrated dragon lineage.

No cultivator would believe, without using his Spirit Pet, a Ten Thousand Beast Sect alchemy master could confront those powerful Golden Core cultivators.

Of course, Ten Thousand Beast Sect's Elder Gong You was scrutinized, it caused quite a commotion between Feiyun Pavilion and Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

The investigation uncovered Gong You's aura matched the aura of a cultivator at the scene, but regrettably, Gong You vanished without a trace afterward, neither Ten Thousand Beast Sect nor Feiyun Pavilion could find him.

Feiyun Pavilion's investigation continually struggled, finally focusing on one target only to find that target had already disappeared.

Feiyun Pavilion's enthusiasm for the investigation waned as progress stagnated, by five years later, it had significantly subsided, seemingly ready to abandon the investigation.

When Li Shiming heard this news, he still waited another five years before deciding to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage, a full ten years after the Green Field Cave Heaven incident.

Ten years time to minimize Feiyun Pavilion's attention.

He'd heard, post-Green Field Cave Heaven incident, Nascent Soul cultivators advancing within five years were closely scrutinized by Feiyun Pavilion.

His ability to gather so much information came from the connections he made over the years.

Actually, ten years was still somewhat short, dragging it out another ten to twenty years would truly erase Feiyun Pavilion's interest.

But Li Shiming couldn't wait any longer, he could barely suppress his advancement; his Golden Core's Spiritual Power Pattern, his body's Spirit, were filled to the brim and forged over the years, he felt the slightest misstep might lead him to unwittingly enter the advancement state.

Such a condition was not at all surprising, his accumulation was unparalleled among Golden Core cultivators.

Five Golden Cores made his Spiritual Power Pattern five times that of a normal Great Elder, his Spirit was nearly two hundred times that of specialists focused on Spirit, his physique trained to Great Elder Level, everything perfected to the utmost.

If he were to keep suppressing his advancement, he feared it might backfire, causing unexpected trouble during his advancement.

Li Shiming flew to a location within Ten Thousand Beast Sect, where the Fourth Grade Seclusion Room was located, as he neared, he sensed multiple probing energies, recognizing the token he held, causing the probes to retract.
