Cultivation is just so scientific!-Chapter 627 - 360: Send Back

"I had some business to attend to at the Earth Evil Sect and happened to run into Fei’er, so I brought her back with me!" Li Shiming simply explained the situation.

"Shiming, there’s no need to cover up for her. I gave birth to her, and one look at her tells me that it wasn’t as simple as that. Is there some kind of big trouble?" Elder Ren waved his hand and said.

Elder Ren, known as Evil Elder Ren during her time on Sky Sea Island, watched over Fei’er as she grew up and could discern issues from her every move.

"It’s all settled now. I’ve asked someone to help Fei’er withdraw from the Earth Evil Sect, and the elders of Thousand Illusion Sect have agreed to take her as a True Disciple!" Seeing signs that Elder Ren was about to get angry, Li Shiming answered with a smile.

"Shiming, we’ve troubled you again. How can we ever repay this kindness!" Elder Ren said helplessly, shaking his head.

Li Shiming just smiled without a word; considering his relationship with this family, it was nothing but a small matter, with no need for talk of repayment.

Besides, when he was on Sky Sea Island, hadn’t he risen to prominence thanks to the influence of Elder Yin?

Elder Ren and Elder Yin exchanged glances, filled with emotion.

Back on Sky Sea Island, Li Shiming’s talents weren’t considered exceptional, but he possessed an extremely strong aptitude for Formations and later showed extraordinary skill in Body Refinement.

Despite such performances, in the eyes of Array Master Luo, Master Luo, Yin Shilan’s master, even joining Thousand Illusion Sect was a stretch.

Yet who would have thought that Li Shiming, on his own, would cross the strait ahead of them and rise meteorically upon arriving in the Beishu Continent?

Just look at the foundation of Inner Yang Mountain; it was Li Shiming who bought the mountain for them and even arranged for the collaboration with Beishu Trading Company.

Inner Yang Mountain Market, a place that made nearby forces envious.

If they had no backing, even two Golden Core cultivators couldn’t fend off those greedy forces.

But, thus far, Inner Yang Mountain had not experienced any trouble, thanks in part to Beishu Trading Company’s deterrence and rumors that Inner Yang Mountain was under the protection of Master Li Shiming.

Especially in Inner Yang Mountain Market, where every once in a while, Spirit Pills produced by Master Li would arrive from the Beishu Trading Company, further confirming the rumors.

"Uncle Yin, Aunt Ren, I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t stay long. Here are some gifts for you, and when you have time, send Fei’er to Thousand Illusion Sect soon!" Li Shiming took out two boxes and placed them on the table, then stood up to say his farewells.

His unmanned satellite system project wasn’t finished yet, and bringing Ren Fei’er back was also a way to fulfill his obligation to Yin Shilan.

Elder Yin and Elder Ren, knowing he was a busy man, did not try to hold him back.

After Li Shiming left, Elder Yin and Elder Ren looked at Ren Fei’er, causing her to shiver involuntarily.

Fei’er understood that her father might be more lenient, but her mother’s methods of punishment were plenty.

"Mother, let’s see what gift Master Li has brought us!" She tried to divert her parents’ attention with the two gifts on the table.

"Do you think you can escape punishment?" Elder Ren said coldly.

Nevertheless, she opened the box Li Shiming had given her and found a jade bottle containing a single Spirit Pill, a second-grade Spirit Pill.

But the shock and delight on her face were unmistakable when she saw the pill; it was the unimaginable ’Youthful Elixir.’

On the other side, Elder Yin also opened his box, finding it full of Spiritual Tea.

"Third Grade Spirit Tea, personally roasted by Shiming!" Elder Yin sank into a blissful dilemma.

The value of the box of Third Grade Spirit Tea was too high; it seemed a waste for him to drink it himself, but he found it hard to part with it if he were to sell it.

Elder Ren sighed deeply, her gaze falling on Fei’er before carefully storing away the jade bottle.

After the initial joy, she realized that with only one ’Youthful Elixir’ and Fei’er at the Foundation Establishment Stage, if Fei’er couldn’t advance to the Golden Core Stage soon, she might not be able to maintain her youth.

As for herself, although her cultivation at the Golden Core Stage couldn’t slow aging as effectively as the ’Youthful Elixir’ would, it could still decelerate the process.

A parent’s love knows no bounds; Elder Ren had already decided to save the ’Youthful Elixir’ for Fei’er, but given Fei’er’s recent transgressions, it was impossible to give it to her just yet.

Once Fei’er’s behavior improves, Elder Ren intended to give her the ’Youthful Elixir’ as a reward.

Li Shiming hadn’t expected that the ’Youthful Elixir’ he gave would not be consumed by Elder Ren.

Although he was now an Alchemy Master, he had not acquired a second set of ingredients for the ’Youthful Elixir.’

When he had obtained a ’Youth Flower,’ his luck could indeed be said to be against the heavens.

The emergence of a ’Youth Flower’ might occur once in nearly a hundred years, so obtaining one easily was out of the question.

His stock of ’Youthful Elixirs’ diminished with each one used, or else he wouldn’t have been so stingy to give just a single one.

Of course, the main reason he gave away just one ’Youthful Elixir’ was that he hadn’t accounted for Ren Fei’er in his plans; his aid to her was already enough to repay the kindness she once showed him.

Free from the burden of Ren Fei’er, Li Shiming activated the ’Charming Soul Concealing Secret Technique’ and became invisible in the shadows as he used ’Step by Step Lotus’ to speed on his way, greatly increasing his pace.

This time, he was heading to the territory of the Yin Yang Sect, one of the three major Demon Sects, each located on different sides of the continent. With ’Step by Step Lotus,’ he could reach his destination within a day.
