If the Yuqing Sect were to attack the Ten Thousand Beast Sect's mountain gate again, it would disgrace the Luanyang Palace.

At least before the Yuqing Sect eliminates the other three major local sects, it wouldn't want to make an additional enemy out of the Luanyang Palace.

The Luanyang Palace is a superpower, and having such an enemy would cause great trouble for the Yuqing Sect.

Although Li Shiming did not witness the battle of the Thirty-Three Heavens, seeing Master Li and the Red Gold Phoenix beforehand left him extremely shaken.

Just like him, his Spiritual Pet Little Feng was also shocked.

Little Feng was only at the initial entry of the fourth grade, and the suppression of the breath from the fourth-grade high-stage Red Gold Phoenix felt extremely uncomfortable, yet Little Feng was still somewhat defiant, probably due to the ignorance of youth.

Li Shiming gently soothed Little Feng, while also envisioning Little Feng's formidable future.

The breath of that Red Gold Phoenix was not weaker than the two Great Cultivators of the Yuqing Sect; such a Spiritual Pet was a truly powerful assistant.

A metallic ring sounded, and all the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect couldn't help but exhale a long sigh.

This sound signified that the crisis was over, and the attacking enemies had retreated.

Li Shiming also felt relieved; he would not become an unaffiliated cultivator, hunted by powerful forces.

If the Ten Thousand Beast Sect's mountain gate were truly broken, losing the mountain gate would mean even if some seeds remained, the lineage would not be cut off, but recovering to one of the four major sects would be almost impossible.

The massive benefits left by the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, not to mention foreign enemies, would even be hard for the other three major sects to overlook.

Li Shiming felt a bit regretful, as he had originally wanted to witness the battle between the Great Cultivators, to aid his advancement to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

However, he did not expect that the battle between Great Cultivators would be moved to the Thirty-Three Heavens, and with his level of power, he had no qualification to watch.

He even saw that Grandmaster Hu intentionally delayed his entry into the Thirty-Three Heavens, avoiding joining the battle.

That was a battle among peak Great Cultivators, and although Grandmaster Hu was also a Great Cultivator, he was far from reaching that level.

The cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect started to return to their retreats in an orderly manner; many cultivators had forcibly exited seclusion and needed to resume retreat to restore the effects of this forced exit.

Li Shiming and Yue Shan waited at their original location, and after a while, saw Master Li and Grandmaster Hu returning.

They had no way to speak with Grandmaster Hu, as the other Great Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect went over to express their gratitude to Master Li.

"Let's go back first and wait for the Master to summon us when he has time!" Yue Shan turned to Li Shiming.

"Alright!" Li Shiming nodded in agreement.

Upon returning to his cave, it didn't take long before Master Hu summoned him after just half a day.

Arriving at Master Hu's cave, he saw Master Li again, with Master Ding and Grandmaster Chai accompanying them.

It seemed he was summoned to brew Fourth Grade Spirit Tea for the Great Cultivators.

He approached and bowed to the Great Cultivators, speaking as little as possible given his low status, fulfilling his role as a tool.

"Shizhen, your Junior Master Li needs to refine a batch of Fourth-grade Spirit Pills, are you available now?" Grandmaster Hu asked with a smile instead of asking for Spiritual Tea.

"I am free lately; as long as Junior Master Li trusts me with the Spiritual Medicine, I can start alchemy as soon as I return!" Li Shiming did not refuse and replied with a bow.

Even without compensation, just Junior Master Li resolving the strong enemy's attack on the Ten Thousand Beast Sect's mountain gate would be reason enough for him to perform alchemy.

Not to mention, since his Master Hu proposed it, he would halt his cultivation to commence alchemy.

"Shizhen, here's the Spiritual Medicine and Elixir Recipe; I will stay at the Ten Thousand Beast Sect until your pills are done!" Master Li said, giving a knowing smile to Grandmaster Hu.

It was clear what Grandmaster Hu meant: he wanted to keep her for a while longer.

Originally intending to leave in three days, but wanting to stay and wait for a batch of Great Cultivator's Fourth-grade Spirit Pills to be refined, she realized it would take over a month.

And if Li Shiming's alchemy abilities were proven, she might stay even longer at the Ten Thousand Beast Sect's mountain gate.

"Oh, observing your aura, you're about to advance to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage?" Suddenly, Master Li looked at Li Shiming in surprise.

She hadn't paid attention before, but now, upon careful examination, found Li Shiming's aura fluctuation somewhat peculiar.

Her words prompted the other Great Cultivators present to observe Li Shiming.

"Good lad, advancing to Nascent Soul Middle Stage so swiftly!" Master Ding said with a smile.

Master Ding's impression of Li Shiming had improved, initially intending to pursue a conflict between Li Shiming and his juniors.

However, after witnessing Li Shiming's surprising alchemical talents, especially in refining fourth-grade Spirit Pills for Great Cultivators, Master Ding immediately changed his stance and prohibited his disciples from conflicting with Li Shiming.

Master Ding now felt his decision was correct, as although a Nascent Soul Middle Stage wasn't spectacular in his eyes, Li Shiming's demonstrated cultivation talent was worth attention.

Naturally, one crucial factor was that Li Shiming possessed a Red Gold Phoenix Spirit Pet.

Once Li Shiming reached Nascent Soul Middle Stage, using Ten Thousand Beast Sect's Secret Techniques, he could elevate the Red Gold Phoenix's realm to fourth-grade high-stage.

A fourth-grade high-stage Red Gold Phoenix was comparable to the power of a Great Cultivator.

Moreover, considering Li Shiming's age, even if he never advanced further and remained at Nascent Soul Middle Stage, it would be enough to protect the Ten Thousand Beast Sect for over a thousand years.

"Congratulations, Brother Hu!" Grandmaster Chai said to Grandmaster Hu with envy.

Having such a disciple necessitated little from Grandmaster Hu; Li Shiming hadn't been with Master Hu for long before advancing to Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

"Shizhen, prioritize your seclusion; there's no rush for my Spirit Pill." Master Li said with a smile, not wanting to disturb Li Shiming's cultivation.

"It won't matter. I believe it will take another two years to truly break through, and alchemy now is also a process of enlightenment!" Li Shiming replied with a smile.

"Consider carefully; I am not short of time!" Master Li advised but said no more after seeing Li Shiming's resolve.

Li Shiming did not escape the task of brewing Fourth Grade Spirit Tea, primarily because his hand-brewed tea was extraordinarily special.

Even within the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, Master Hu wouldn't regularly call him over for tea.

Not to mention Master Ding and Grandmaster Chai, who wouldn't miss the opportunity to taste Li Shiming's personally brewed Fourth Grade Spirit Tea with Master Li present.

After brewing the Fourth Grade Spirit Tea, Li Shiming departed Master Hu's cave.

Upon returning to his cave, he began refining the Great Cultivator's Fourth-grade Spirit Pills.

He abandoned the pursuit of finding a breakthrough opportunity for advancing to Nascent Soul Middle Stage; knowing he'd have sufficient accumulation in two years, why seek further opportunities?

Even pursuing the breakthrough opportunity might consume more time than expected, possibly exceeding two years.

Master Li's Fourth-grade Spiritual Medicine and Elixir Recipe were new to Li Shiming; for other Alchemy Masters, the unfamiliarity could affect pill quality or success rate.

However, with the control precision of 5 nanometers in the technology room and help of his life treasure IBMz15, he still completed the alchemy.

Six intermediate fourth-grade Spirit Pills were produced, just a thread away from high-grade, stable as always.

Two of these needed to be given to Master Li, and the remaining fourth-grade Spirit Pills were his own.

This distribution showcased the wealth of an Alchemy Master, as even ordinary ones could retain a portion of the refined pills.

Not to mention, Li Shiming employed the 'Hundred One-point Pill Technique', retaining four fourth-grade Spirit Pills.
