Chapter 334: Chapter 213: Success (Extra chapter for FangXiuV until death FangXiu)_2
“You don’t happen to have a cultivation technique for Divine Thought, do you?” Master Ma asked as he noticed Li Shiming’s bewildered expression.
“I unexpectedly came across a Secret Technique named ‘Thousand-Hammered God Technique,’ but currently, my Spiritual Thought is insufficient, so I can’t cultivate it!” Li Shiming didn’t hide anything, after all, this technique was originally intended for Foundation Establishment Cultivators without Divine Thought.
By the Golden Core Stage, cultivators naturally possess Divine Thought, which greatly reduces the value of this technique.
“No wonder Xiao Su always speaks of your good fortune. A technique for refining Divine Thought is something that even within our sect, there is only one copy, and that belongs to an ancestor’s secret teachings, extremely difficult for anyone outside his lineage to acquire!” Master Ma couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh as he said this.
Fate and fortune are intangible, yet their existence must be acknowledged.
With Li Shiming possessing a third-grade spirit root seed, look at his level of cultivation and the techniques he studies, none worse than those of a True Disciple in a great sect – this is his good fortune.
...
“Wait till I finish refining this batch of Elixir Pills, then I’ll talk with you!” Master Ma’s focus returned to his alchemy.
Li Shiming sat by the side, observing Master Ma’s alchemical process, an opportunity to gather data on alchemy that he wouldn’t miss.
Though Master Ma didn’t care much for these Elixir Pills, the process of making these early-stage Foundation Establishment healing pills was highly valuable for reference for Li Shiming.
Furthermore, since Master Ma didn’t limit Li Shiming from using his Spiritual Thought, this allowed for even more comprehensive data collection.
Having collected the data for this particular Spirit Pill, he could surely manufacture it himself, and the quality would not be low either.
He was no longer a novice at crafting Second Grade Spiritual Medicine; with his experience, he could at least guarantee no failures when crafting similar grade pills, and with several more batches, he could achieve high-grade quality.
In the future, as long as he crafted more Second Grade Spiritual Medicines and collected sufficient data, he could directly produce high-grade Spirit Pills from any recipe he obtained.
“Master, why do we need to make so many healing Elixir Pills?” Li Shiming, although unaware of this pill’s name, knew its properties and asked curiously.
“What else could it be? Recently, the Devil Cultivators have been increasingly active, and a conflict between the righteous and devil cultivators is very likely to erupt again soon. The sect needs to prepare a large number of healing and detoxifying Elixir Pills. Don’t mention this outside; it might cause unnecessary panic!” Master Ma casually remarked and then thought to add another instruction.
Li Shiming shuddered inwardly as he recalled the scene of Mingxin Sect invading Sky Sea Island. Although there was no widespread slaughter, it caused the seven sects to be uprooted from their homes, abandoning the gates they had operated for countless years.
“Don’t worry; we alchemists won’t be involved in fighting. If alchemists need to enter the battle, then there’s no point in continuing the fight!” Master Ma laughed and consoled further.
As he spoke, Divine Thought faintly touched upon ten Spiritual Artifact Furnaces, opening them all simultaneously. A hundred Spirit Pills flew out, creating a spectacular scene.

He stored all the Spirit Pills in jade bottles and handed them over to a nearby Pill Boy before putting away the Spiritual Artifact Furnaces.
“Shiming, this ‘Divine Separation and Thought Transformation Technique’ is indeed useful for you; your foundation in Spiritual Thought is very solid, likely because you cultivated it during the Qi Refinement Realm. I have a Nourishing God Jade here, an object I used in the past for nourishing the soul; you should be able to significantly enhance your Spiritual Thought quickly using it, and once you can cultivate Divine Thought, I will teach you the ‘Divine Separation and Thought Transformation Technique’!” Master Ma took out a piece of jade and handed it to Li Shiming.
Li Shiming took the Nourishing God Jade, an object not crafted by man but a natural spiritual object.
The moment he touched it, he felt a faint energy emanating from the Nourishing God Jade which gave his soul a refreshing coolness.
“Master, this is too precious!” Although he was unaware of the exact value of the Nourishing God Jade, any object that could nurture the soul was far from ordinary, and its value could even rival that of a magical artifact.
“When you’ve been an alchemist for a long time, you’ll understand how easy it is for alchemists to earn riches!” Master Ma said with a laugh and a wave of his hand.
The Nourishing God Jade indeed was a treasure, but its effect on a Golden Core cultivator was not significant.
Li Shiming’s talent in alchemy had convinced Master Ma to fully support his training.
Though Li Shiming was only a Registered Disciple, his relationship with Master Ma and Elder Su made little difference from that of a Direct Disciple.
“Master, I want to take on more ‘Shushan Hunyuan Pill’ alchemy tasks!” Li Shiming finally spoke up about his intention.
“The ‘Shushan Hunyuan Pills’ you’ve crafted are all of high quality, which has indeed increased the sect cultivators who exchange for them, especially now when there’s a shortage of ‘Shushan Hunyuan Pills.’ The sect can assure you full support in gathering materials for ‘Shushan Hunyuan Pills’!” Master Ma decided without any hesitation.
Handling alchemy matters was his responsibility. Furthermore, the high quality of the Spirit Pills Li Shiming produced made them extremely popular, effectively enhancing the sect’s strength.
Additionally, this arrangement could allow some alchemists to shift to crafting battle-preparedness Spirit Pills, the demand for which was incredibly high. Otherwise, there would be no need for an Alchemy Master like himself to step in.
“Thank you, Master!” Li Shiming expressed his gratitude, visibly happy upon receiving Master Ma’s approval.
In the following days, wearing the Nourishing God Jade, his Spiritual Thought continually grew stronger, especially when combined with “Purple Qi Eastward,” causing a remarkable transformation in his soul.
At the beginning of the month, Li Shiming went to Heavenly Eye Peak, which marked his monthly visit to see Elder Su.
“Little junior brother, how is your alchemy learning going recently?” Big sister Ye Jingxian asked Li Shiming with a smile as they waited for their master’s arrival in the pavilion.
Ye Jingxian was quite surprised when she heard of Li Shiming’s alchemy talent and his acceptance as a Registered Disciple by Uncle Ma.
The profession of alchemists is highly respected among cultivators, but only those with very high success rates. The life of alchemists in their formative years is not easy.
Senior sister Ye Jingxian cared about Li Shiming and offered to help if needed. Her family could provide him with plenty of Spiritual Medicine for practice.
“I have passed the Intermediate Alchemist examination!” Li Shiming replied, appreciating Ye Jingxian’s kind intentions, with a smile.
“You’re already an Intermediate Alchemist?” Xu Chuan exclaimed in disbelief.
It had not been long since Li Shiming joined the sect and even less since he began learning alchemy under Uncle Ma. And now to have become an Intermediate Alchemist, that was truly unbelievable.
“By the way, this bottle of elixir will suit you well, senior brother!” Li Shiming said as he handed over a jade bottle.
The jade bottle contained twenty percent of the yield from his crafting of ‘Shushan Hunyuan Pills,’ a lesser amount retained for the sect compared to the one-third usually drawn when crafting for individual cultivators.
“Senior brother, I only use high-grade Spirit Pills. The ones you crafted…” Xu Chuan, having a life-saving bond with Li Shiming, didn’t feel the need to hold back. He spoke as he opened the jade bottle, but paused upon seeing the pills inside.
He retrieved a high-grade ‘Shushan Hunyuan Pill,’ examining it closely. The enshrouding purple aura did not look fake at all.
“Recently, the sect released a batch of exceptionally effective high-grade ‘Shushan Hunyuan Pills,’ which look exactly like this one!” He then took another jade bottle, compared another high-grade ‘Shushan Hunyuan Pill.’
He realized that the aura of both high-grade ‘Shushan Hunyuan Pills’ was identical, confirming they were crafted by the same person.
“Good junior brother, I’ll rely on you for all my cultivation pills from now on! You know, even I, a True Disciple, have to fight to get such high-grade ‘Shushan Hunyuan Pills.’ The Merit Hall is hoarding these pills which are twenty percent more effective than other high-grade ‘Shushan Hunyuan Pills.’ Turns out they were all crafted by you. Now I won’t have to worry about cultivation pills anymore!”
Xu Chuan spoke quickly and urgently, clearly very excited.
A twenty percent increase in cultivation effects, just this benefit alone made early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators go crazy. The extra effectiveness meant that their strength would surpass that of other cultivators.
