Chapter 626: Chapter 359 Leaving_2
"Fei’er, don’t tell anyone about me saving you this time!" Li Shiming thought for a moment and then instructed.
"Okay, I won’t even tell my mother!" Ren Fei’er nodded vigorously and promised.
She didn’t know why Li Shiming made such a request, but since he had asked, she would certainly do it.
Li Shiming smiled and took out the communication device, initiating contact with the Beishu Trading Company’s Chief Manager Lai.
"Brother Shiming, are you ready to take orders now?" As soon as the connection was established, the voice of Chief Manager Lai came through.
Li Shiming leaving was not only a matter of concern for the Shushan Sect but also a major concern for the Beishu Trading Company.
After leaving, Li Shiming would not be taking orders from the Beishu Trading Company, and the orders that were prepared for him had already piled up a lot.
As his contact person, Chief Manager Lai could be said to be under all the pressure.
"I still need to stay outside for a while. I’ll take orders when I return. This time, I need to discuss some private matters with Brother Lai!" Li Shiming quickly interrupted Chief Manager Lai’s words.
"Just mention any personal matter!" Chief Manager Lai was straightforward and agreed without even asking what it was.
In fact, as an Alchemy Master, Li Shiming rarely asked for anything from the Beishu Trading Company.
While it’s true that Li Shiming exchanged a large number of mundane items, this was a trivial matter for the Beishu Trading Company, and with Li Shiming’s status, many other companies would be willing to serve him if he didn’t seek out the Beishu Trading Company.
Apart from exchanging mundane items, Li Shiming rarely asked for anything from the Beishu Trading Company, which had somewhat worried them.
So hearing that Li Shiming had a personal request, Chief Manager Lai was not displeased but rather happy.
"I want an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator who has not cultivated the core techniques of the Earth Evil Sect to leave the sect, and I do not want anyone else to know it’s related to me, so please, have the trading company represent me!" Li Shiming said with a smile.
"That’s a small matter. Just send the name to me later!" Chief Manager Lai, reassured, responded with a smile.
Indeed, for an early-stage ordinary cultivator, leaving the sect is nearly a devastating affair.
The Earth Evil Sect does not allow its disciples to leave the sect freely, as there is a common saying in the Demon Sect that once you enter the sect, you belong to the sect for life.
But the Beishu Trading Company already has a close relationship with the Earth Evil Sect, and in situations that do not involve core techniques or true disciples, wanting to leave the sect really is a minor issue.
"Then thank you!" Li Shiming, understanding this, thanked with a smile.
"Talking about thanks makes it too formal. Let’s have tea together sometime; I’ve been longing for your Spiritual Tea for a long time!" Chief Manager Lai laughed heartily.
"I did get some good tea recently; I’ll send you some when I get back!" Li Shiming replied.
In the warm atmosphere, both parties ended the communication.
The communication process was not hidden from Ren Fei’er; in the Flying Boat, she heard his conversation with Chief Manager Lai.
"Can I really leave the Earth Evil Sect?" Ren Fei’er asked somewhat incredulously.
In her view, this was a monumental issue. She had thought that asking the Earth Evil Sect to let someone go would cost a great deal but had not expected it to be resolved just by a bit of communication.
"Rest assured, the matter with the Earth Evil Sect has been resolved. I’ll contact you soon about joining the Thousand Illusion Sect!" Li Shiming replied with a smile.
He had let Ren Fei’er hear the communication process to reassure her, so she wouldn’t worry unnecessarily.
"Mr. Zhu!" Li Shiming initiated another call, this time connecting with Zhu Chang, a Golden Core Elder of the Thousand Illusion Sect.
Zhu Chang, a good friend of Master Luo, holds a high position within the Thousand Illusion Sect.
"Master Li, how may I serve you?" Zhu Chang’s voice was filled with surprise and respect.
This was Master Li himself contacting him, a matter of great importance for any Golden Core cultivator.
"I have an early-stage Foundation Establishment female cultivator here who wishes to join the Thousand Illusion Sect, may I ask Mr. Zhu to help with an introduction?" Li Shiming said with a smile, stating his request.
"No problem, I still have a spot for a direct disciple under my name. She can join as a True Inheritor and come over anytime!" Zhu Chang quickly responded without even needing to think after hearing Li Shiming’s request.
In his view, when Master Li asked for someone to be enrolled in the sect, it wasn’t just an ordinary disciple he was talking about, but bringing Master Li’s connection under his wing was akin to establishing a direct communication channel with Master Li.
Other Golden Core cultivators would probably vie for the chance to take such a person as a True Inheritor if they knew about this.
"Then it is settled. If you need anything in the future, you can contact Ye Lingyun!" Li Shiming said with a smile.
Zhu Chang certainly knew who Ye Lingyun was. Although Ye Lingyun was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, his status was extremely high, serving both as Li Shiming’s attendant and his reception manager. freewёbnoνel.com
Being able to contact Ye Lingyun directly was akin to having the privilege of queue jumping in alchemy.
"Fei’er, Golden Core Elder Zhu Chang from the Thousand Illusion Sect will be your master. As a True Inheritor, you must cultivate diligently!" Li Shiming ended the communication and instructed Ren Fei’er.
"I understand!" Ren Fei’er bit her lip, trying hard not to let her tears flow, and she responded softly.
Li Shiming had laid out her path of cultivation for the future, and this favor was something she could never repay.
What saddened her the most was that she knew Li Shiming did this not because of her, but because she was Yin Shilan’s sister.
After several days of flying, the Meteor Ink Boat, a third-grade flying boat magical treasure, though far from the divine speed of the "Step by Step Lotus," still moved swiftly under the full power of its master Li Shiming. By noon three days later, he saw Inner Yang Mountain.
Given the conspicuous nature of such a flying boat magical treasure as the Meteor Ink Boat, it was spotted by Elder Yin as soon as they approached Inner Yang Mountain.
Elder Yin soared into the sky to personally welcome the guests aboard the Meteor Ink Boat.
A third-grade flying boat magical treasure is typically operated by key members of major sects or powerful forces. Ordinary Golden Core cultivators cannot afford such luxuries.
"Shiming!" Elder Yin exclaimed with excitement upon seeing the person standing atop the Meteor Ink Boat.
"Uncle Yin!" Li Shiming, seeing Elder Yin, displayed a sincere smile.
"Daddy!" Ren Fei’er, controlling a spiritual artifact, flew out of the boat and called out a bit timidly.
The joy on Elder Yin’s face faded when he saw Ren Fei’er, and because Li Shiming was there, he didn’t say much, but the reproach in his eyes was very clear.
Ren Fei’er certainly knew why, as her sneaking off from Inner Yang Mountain had caused much worry at home and added lots of trouble for her family.
"Shiming, come and sit at our house!" Elder Yin called out and made a gesture to Ren Fei’er to follow.
Li Shiming watched with a smile as Elder Yin, despite being rather displeased with Ren Fei’er’s departure, still showed great care for his daughter.
The peak of Inner Yang Mountain had been developed into a high-status market.
As a couple both at the early stages of the Golden Core, although Elder Yin and Elder Ren only had initial mid-stages of strength, the presence of two Golden Core cultivators, backed by strong support from the Beishu Trading Company, allowed this market to immediately become the highest standard market in a large nearby region upon completion.
Elder Yin led Li Shiming directly to a cave dwelling behind the market, where he and Elder Ren resided.
Upon entering the cave dwelling, Li Shiming saw Elder Ren.
"Nice to see you, Aunt Ren!" Li Shiming quickly greeted respectfully.
In the Beishu Continent, probably the only people who could command such respect from him were Yin Shilan’s relatives.
"Shiming, where did you bring Fei’er back from? I’ve pulled a lot of strings and couldn’t find her!" Elder Ren looked sharply at Ren Fei’er, who was hiding, and asked Li Shiming.
It wasn’t that Elder Ren was being rude or harsh toward Li Shiming, but for Ren Fei’er, she had exhausted a great deal of goodwill and still couldn’t find her.
The Golden Core cultivators of the Beishu Continent knew each other well, unlike on Sky Sea Island, where the direct descendants of Golden Core cultivators were very safe.
