Li Shiming did not immediately return to his cave dwelling but went outside the mountain gate. He released the Phantom Dragon and handed over a spiritual object to it.
The Phantom Dragon has its own storage space, as well as a Mustard Seed Ring given by Li Shiming. The spiritual object was stored in an isolating jade box to prevent the leakage of its aura.
Only then did Li Shiming return to his cave dwelling, while his mind was controlling the Phantom Dragon heading to the distance.
There exists a contracted connection between the Phantom Dragon and him. Before joining the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, he could only allow the Phantom Dragon to leave within a not-too-distant range; otherwise, he couldn't control the Phantom Dragon.
However, with the Beast Control Secret Technique from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, he could control his spiritual pet within the continent's range.
The Phantom Dragon flew invisibly through the air, with the Five-clawed Dragon having an extremely fast flying speed, and the Phantom Dragon's invisibility is a talent ability that does not affect its speed.
Although the flight distance of the Phantom Dragon this time was somewhat far, it encountered no trouble along the way.
Even if it met a cultivator, no cultivator could discover the Phantom Dragon's existence.
The current realm of the Phantom Dragon is somewhat low, and perhaps a Great Cultivator might have secret techniques to discover it, but other Nascent Soul stage cultivators couldn't find it.
When the Phantom Dragon's realm is elevated, even a Great Cultivator with special secret techniques would be unable to discover it.
Li Shiming sat in his cave dwelling, and when the distant Phantom Dragon reached a location, he controlled it to stop.
The Phantom Dragon landed on the ground and opened the jade box, letting the spiritual object inside fall to the ground.
After finishing this, the Phantom Dragon turned and left without any pause.
The spiritual object that fell to the ground was a jade token with slight cracks on the jade surface, which was one of the 'Thunder Protection Jade Tokens' that Li Shiming found from a Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioner from the White Emperor Sect.
The 'Thunder Protection Jade Token' was in a state of recovery and was a highly valuable treasure in the Cultivation World.
Although its function was singular, both its manufacturing difficulty and the materials used made the 'Thunder Protection Jade Token' extremely rare.
It was only because the White Emperor Sect wanted to counter the Yuqing Sect that they put the full force of the sect into gathering materials from the Cultivation World and had the sect's Prospective Mahayana abilities refine it.
Li Shiming had obtained eight pieces of 'Thunder Protection Jade Token', and to muddy the waters, he chose to take one out to frame others.
Mu Jing was flying slowly, at a very low altitude, appearing somewhat stealthy.
He had no choice, as he was missing a left leg, and had been continuously working to heal it.
Unfortunately, he was still short of being able to purchase a Nascent Soul Early Stage High Grade Healing Spirit Pill, and at his current pace of acquiring resources, it would take decades before he could exchange for one.
Because he was missing a left leg, he always felt that other cultivators looked at him with judgemental eyes, and those mocking gazes made him avoid meeting other cultivators as much as possible.
Ground-level flying was rare for Nascent Soul cultivators; it was really uncomfortable.
The most comfortable flying altitude was several hundred meters high, which was taller than a typical mountain, without the interference of clouds, and not much different from the ground's climate.
Mu Jing cursed Li Shiming in his heart, blaming him for his current state. However, when he thought about his senior uncle Duan Zhen falling to Li Shiming, his hatred turned into fear.
"There's a spiritual power fluctuation, what kind of treasure is it?" Although Mu Jing was living a hard life now, he came from a very good background. It's just that after being injured, he was no longer valued by his master. While flying low, he sensed a spiritual power fluctuation and immediately determined it was the aura emitted by a treasure.
He first took out his magical treasure, as treasures usually don't appear without danger.
He extended his divine sense and soon laughed happily.
His divine sense picked up the 'Thunder Protection Jade Token' from the ground, felt the aura on it, and cast a Master Recognition Technique, After recognizing it, he got the information of the 'Thunder Protection Jade Token'.
"My opportunity has come, with the 'Thunder Protection Jade Token', if I meet Li Shizhen again, do I need to worry about his thunder skill?" Mu Jing laughed to himself.
But soon he remembered his left leg since it was due to the secret life-saving technique he used, his left leg was sacrificed. It must be healed with a High Grade Fourth-Grade Healing Spirit Pill.
If he sold the 'Thunder Protection Jade Token', not only would he have enough resources to exchange for the spirit pill, but he would also have some surplus resources.
Mu Jing felt he was caught in a fortunate dilemma; how should he handle the 'Thunder Protection Jade Token'?
Ultimately, he decided to sell the 'Thunder Protection Jade Token'. To maximize its value and for a safer transaction, he chose his senior uncle Zuo Shun as the selling target.
From what he knew, Zuo Shun, who was at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, had always had a deadly enemy who was a thunder cultivator. Selling the 'Thunder Protection Jade Token' to Zuo Shun would maximize the benefits.
Of course, before negotiating with Zuo Shun, he let the news of the 'Thunder Protection Jade Token' spread out, hoping to make Zuo Shun come to him, rather than him going to Zuo Shun.
If he were to go to Zuo Shun, it would seem like he was begging Zuo Shun to buy it, whereas having Zuo Shun come to him allowed him to take the initiative in the transaction.
The transaction went smoothly, and within three days, Zuo Shun approached him and offered enough resources to satisfy Mu Jing, purchasing the 'Thunder Protection Jade Token'.
