The Holy Ice Sect is in a stronghold outside the Tianhai Sect, a foundation-building monk is looking at two late-stage Qi refining monks.
This stronghold was built by the elder Baili of the Holy Ice Sect to investigate the disappearance of Baili Jinyan.
Usually stationed here are two late-stage Qi refining monks, and the Holy Ice Sect is presided over by Kai Yun, a direct disciple of Elder Baili's Foundation Establishment Stage.
Recently, when Kai Yun was reading the information sent back by Tian Haizong, he discovered that Li Shiming, who should have been killed, was still alive.
Li Shiming is not important, but the key is that Kai Yun has reported Li Shiming's death to the master Elder Baili, so Li Shiming must be dead.
You must know that Elder Baili personally investigated Qiu Tan on Changming Island, and felt the imprint left by Baili Jinyan from Qiu Tan and the two fellows.
Due to the long time, there is only a trace of residual breath left in the imprint.
But this did not affect Elder Baili's discovery. With this discovery, regardless of whether Qiu Tan was related to Baili Jinyan's disappearance, Qiu Tan was the person Baili Jinyan wanted to kill.
Then help his son kill Qiu Tan and the two buddies, which can be regarded as fulfilling Baili Jinyan's unfulfilled wish.
After a period of investigation, Elder Baili had many doubts about Baili Jinyan's disappearance. The last hope of death.
After capturing Qiu Tan and the two fellows, Elder Baili conducted a brutal soul search on the three of them.
Even in the realm of cultivating immortals, soul searching is not a means to be used at will. It is usually used only when there is a deep hatred.
The main reason is that after using this method, the soul of the soul searcher will be completely annihilated. The monk's understanding of death is that life can be extinguished, and the soul will enter reincarnation.
Annihilation of the soul represents no hope of reincarnation, and is the cruelest punishment.
In addition, the soul-searched person will suffer extreme soul pain during this period, and the caster will also feel this pain, which is a kind of soul torment for both parties.
However, since the realm of Elder Baili is much higher than that of Qiu Tan and the other three, the backlash he received was extremely low.
Through soul searching, he found out how Baili Jinyan met the three of them, and learned the gossip about the three of them talking.
For the sake of his son, he decided to get rid of Li Shiming, the source of Baili Jinyan's anger. Why can Li Shiming get a woman his son can't get.
Yin Shilan has a powerful father and a devil mother who cannot be provoked, so he can only destroy Li Shiming.
Elder Baili did not personally kill Li Shiming.
The main reason is that Li Shiming's Yingzui Island is too close to Jiufeng. At that distance, if the elders of Baili dare to approach, they will be discovered by the Tianhai Zongmen's formation immediately, and then the elders of the sect will come forward.
After being threatened by Laomo Ren, Elder Baili didn't want to challenge the two sects of Tianhaizong and Xuanmingzong at all.
For all the monks in the Qi refining period and most of the foundation building period, Tianhaizong and Xuanmingzong are sworn enemies.
But for the Jindan stage, and a small number of foundation-building stage monks who can get in touch with the core of the sect, they understand the true relationship between Tianhaizong and Xuanmingzong.
The battle between the two sects brought about the fact that the monks in the Qi refining stage and the foundation building stage are both good at fighting, and they can limit the intensity of the battle within a controllable range, making it an environment conducive to the promotion of the two sects of monks.
If a monk is out of danger, he will become a waste who can only practice. It does not mean that a high level means a strong strength. Only a monk who has been honed in countless battles can gain a foothold in the world of cultivating immortals.
When encountering troubles at the Jindan level, Tianhaizong and Xuanmingzong could join forces at any time.
The trivial matter of killing Li Shiming became a reward task, and it was handed over to the late-stage Qi Refining monks of the Holy Ice Sect to complete.
The late-stage monks of the Holy Ice Sect also completed the assassination task very simply, and were rewarded by Elder Baili.
And the person responsible for supervising the assassination mission was Kai Yun in the Foundation Establishment Period.
"Falsely claiming rewards, do you know the consequences of this matter?" Kai Yun scolded sullenly.
The faces of the two monks in the late stage of Qi refining were pale, and they naturally knew the methods of Elder Baili.
"Master Kui, who would know that the husband Lingzhi on that island is not Li Shiming!" A monk in the late stage of Qi refining explained helplessly with a bitter face.
That's right, the mission location is correct, and the mission target is a Ling Zhifu in the mid-stage of Qi refining.
They entered Yingzui Island with the formation-breaking talisman given by the sect, and saw the monk who was casting Ling Zhifu's spell.
The mission location and mission objective descriptions were correct, and they did not expect to kill the wrong person.
In fact, not only them, but also Kai Yun did not investigate much. How could a small Qi-refining fourth-level monk deserve the excessive attention of the foundation-building monk? He died as soon as he died.
If it hadn't been mentioned in the information this time that a junior formation mage had gained some fame in Tianhaizong, and the name of the junior formation mage was Li Shiming, Kai Yun would have forgotten about it.
"Here is an array-breaking talisman, you two go there again and clean up the matter, don't leave the beginning and the end!" Kai Yun confessed in a deep voice.
Kai Yun was also a little distressed, and gave out an array-breaking talisman. This time, Elder Baili did not reimburse him, but he paid it himself.
Of course, the two late-stage Qi refining monks did not have task rewards, they had already taken them last time, and they did not dare to accept the same task again.
"Uncle Xie, don't worry, there will be no mistakes this time!" The two Qi Refining Stage monks repeatedly assured.
Li Shiming didn't know that there was a follow-up to the Baili Jinyan incident. It had been more than half a year. He thought that the investigation by the Holy Ice Sect should have ended long ago.
Besides, Yingzui Island has never encountered anything, and everything is peaceful.
At the moment, he is using spiritual thoughts to combine consciousness, and is doing a whole-body check on the clone.
The aura of the avatar has been completely changed, and there is no more aura of Baili Jinyan. With the change of face, it is a completely different person.
However, when Li Shiming put his consciousness into the split body and practiced the 'Bing Xin Yu Nian Jue', he always felt that there was some kind of spiritual energy in his body.
He didn't feel too strong when the avatar recovered its spirituality at the beginning, so he didn't care, but as the avatar's spirituality grew, this feeling became more and more obvious.
And when the avatar practiced the 'Bing Xin Yu Nian Jue', the speed of spiritual improvement was a bit too fast, even exceeding the speed of the main body's spiritual improvement.
Li Shiming divided the avatar's body into dozens of areas, and inspected it bit by bit with micron-level inspection methods.
He knew that his realm was too low, so his search was very slow, a little bit of perception at the micron level, and a little bit of spiritual exploration.
Finally he found something suspicious, it was a drop of blood in the heart.
The reason why he doubted this drop of blood essence was that the drop of blood essence seemed to be normal, but when the spirit inspected it, he felt a trace of abnormal aura.
If the aura of the avatar is still the same as the original one, then Li Shiming will never perceive anything abnormal about the aura of this drop of blood essence.
The problem is that the aura of the avatar has completely changed now. Although the aura of this drop of blood essence is extremely weak, it is incompatible with the aura around it.
Besides the breath of this drop of blood essence, he failed to perceive the special spiritual energy in this drop of blood essence.
Li Shiming thought about it, and decided to let the clone practice the 'Bing Xin Yu Nian Jue', because every time he sensed spiritual energy, the clone was in the state of practicing the 'Bing Xin Jade Nian Jue'.
At the same time, he also let the spirit and consciousness of the main body pay attention to this drop of blood essence, and he can find out if there is any abnormality in the blood essence.
The 'Bing Xin Yu Nian Jue' is running, and this drop of blood essence emits extremely pure spiritual energy into the clone, increasing the intensity of the spiritual thoughts.
Li Shiming finally understood what the perceived spiritual energy was, it was this seemingly normal drop of blood.
By some unknown means, this drop of blood is helping Baili Jinyan to practice the 'Bing Xin Yu Nian Jue'.
Anyway, with Li Shiming's current state, even with the addition of computer room space and IBM z15, it is impossible to analyze the special features of essence and blood.
What he didn't know was that this was a father's selfless love for his son. Elder Baili used his own blood to perform a secret technique, stripped the blood and put it into his son Baili Jinyan's body.
Under normal circumstances, a drop of blood essence at the golden core stage is enough to explode the body of a monk at the qi refining stage, even if Baili Jinyan has cultivated the physique of the 'Sword Demon Secret Code', there is no difference.
But Elder Baili's secret method is to transform the essence and blood of the Jindan stage into a mild nature, and leave it in Baili Jinyan's body.
It was this blood essence that allowed Baili Jinyan's already amazing talent to reach an almost insurmountable achievement during the Qi refining period.
Based on Baili Jinyan's future development direction, he will suppress his realm until the aura vortex in his body reaches its limit. If he breaks through again, he will lay the strongest foundation for cultivating immortals.
Li Shiming frowned as he felt the drop of blood essence. He had two choices, one was to strip the drop of blood essence and destroy it.
But he didn't have the slightest idea. It was difficult for him to even detect the blood essence, let alone peel it off. He was worried that if the peeling was not done well, the energy inside the blood essence would destroy the avatar, and even destroy the space of the computer room.
The second is to keep the original state and wait for this drop of blood to be consumed by itself.
This is quite possible, with the operation of the 'Bing Xin Yu Nian Jue', spiritual energy will flow out of the blood essence.
It is impossible to have a steady stream of spiritual energy inside a drop of blood essence. As long as you continue to practice your spiritual thoughts, you can use up the blood essence through the "Bingxinyu Jue".
But in this way, he thought that bringing the avatar to the outside world would be postponed again.
"Hey, it's been a long time coming!" He sighed helplessly.
Knowing what the problem was, he was relieved.
After getting the doppelganger, after he saw the treasure in the storage bracelet, he guessed that there would be trouble.
Sure enough, the troubles continued, but fortunately he acted carefully.
If the avatar is really summoned to the outside world, it may have been discovered by the Holy Ice Sect and began to hunt him down.
The fact is also true, Elder Baili, the owner of that drop of blood essence, as long as Li Shiming does not leave this continent, he will be able to trace the location of the blood essence sooner or later.
That is to say, the space in the computer room is too special, which cuts off Elder Baili's perception, which allows Li Shiming to be at ease until now.
Li Shiming was immersed in the state of being connected to the IBM z15, and a large amount of array knowledge continued to emerge in his brain, and all the 190 CPUs of the IBM z15 were running under heavy load.
He did not use good deeds, and bought a lot of formation knowledge through Yun's firm. Although he consumed a lot of spirit stones, it was still acceptable compared to good deeds.
Most of the formation knowledge of Yun's Trading Company is obtained from various channels, and it has nothing to do with the sect's formation knowledge, nor does it conflict.
He felt that he had the total amount of formation knowledge, and he could consider applying for the intermediate formation master examination after a while.
Of course, if he took the exam now, he would be sure, but the time was too short to attract attention, so he decided to wait another year or two before taking it.
IBM z15 was studying formation knowledge almost all the time, and then, just like this time, he shared the research results with him every once in a while.
This made him not drop anything, but he moved forward quickly along the formation.
Suddenly, IBM z15 stopped the process of sharing the formation knowledge and sent him a warning.
He understood that it was the vibration from the eye mask beside him, and the IBM z15 reminded him after detecting it through his five senses.
The blindfold vibrated, indicating that he was approaching suspiciously.
He didn't need to wear a blindfold, and put a spiritual thought into the blindfold, and then he saw the abnormal location outside the island through a surveillance probe.
Speaking of monitoring probes, now that micron-scale chips are available, he has made a lot of monitoring probes, and any direction close to Eagle's Mouth Island is within the monitoring range.
Infrared plus normal mode, and then processed and analyzed by the chip, as long as there is a suspicious situation, it will automatically send an early warning to the relay device, that is, the eye mask.
At the same time, the monitoring probe will track the movement of suspicious targets and provide real-time tracking images to the goggles.
Li Shiming's spiritual thoughts are like eyes, seeing the picture in the blindfold, which is an invisible figure.
Cultivators have a lot of invisibility techniques, but most of the invisibility methods are of little use to monks, and a small hope technique can break it.
Even if you don't use the gazing technique, with the monk's perception of spiritual power fluctuations, you can still find the invisible monk who is close to a certain distance.
Naturally, Li Shiming's surveillance probe does not have this method, but the infrared mode can also find the target.
But what surprised him was that the target figure did not appear red like a normal monk. The red color in the infrared night vision mode represented the heat emitted from the body.
Even a monk, the body will continue to emit heat, the stronger the monk is, the stronger the heat will be.
On the other hand, the figure in the monitoring is dark blue, which is only when the body temperature is much lower than the surrounding temperature.
Fortunately, when Li Shiming wrote the judgment program, he added the possibility of low temperature in the human body. He had come into contact with a similar monk before, but it was a demon cultivator.
That demon cultivator is a monk of Xuanmingzong, very similar to this dark blue figure.
"Could it be a monk of Xuanmingzong?" Li Shiming guessed in his heart.
It's just that monks from Xuanmingzong sneaked into Yingzui Island secretly, so why? This place is a restricted area for Xuanmingzong monks.
At this moment, he saw a second dark blue figure appear. The two seemed to be communicating with each other, and then one of them stretched out his hand to the magic circle.
