Great Powers Lin Jing, Ding Feng, and Yi Yao were amazed by the effects of Li Yuanba's Fifth Grade Spirit Tea, believing it to be Immortal Tea. Li Yuanba revealed it was brewed by Li Shiming and that he was accepting alchemy commissions, prioritizing those who offered Fifth Grade Immortal Fire. Great Power Ding Feng gifted his Fifth Grade Immortal Fire to Li Yuanba, receiving Fifth Grade Inquiry Tea in return and solidifying their friendship.

The reaction of the Land of Fallen Immortals towards Li Shiming being able to refine High-level Fifth-grade Spirit Pills was much more intense than Li Shiming had imagined.

In the days that followed, Great Powers continuously visited the Seven Immortals Residence to pay respects to Yi Yao Great Power and Li Yuanba.

On one hand, they wanted to verify Li Shiming’s alchemy skills through Yi Yao Great Power, and on the other hand, after confirming Li Shiming’s abilities, they wished to commission Li Shiming to refine pills through Li Yuanba.

If it weren’t for Li Shiming’s unknown whereabouts and only Li Yuanba being able to reach him, these Great Powers would have sought out Li Shiming long ago.

Precisely because Li Shiming was hidden in the shadows, a lot of trouble was avoided.

Many of these Great Powers, especially the Late Stage Great Powers, aren’t so easily persuaded. Making them wait patiently for dozens or even hundreds of years before they can have their pills refined would not satisfy them.

Even if the Late Stage Great Powers have opinions, they are helpless without seeing Li Shiming.

Forcing Li Yuanba to reveal Li Shiming’s whereabouts is completely out of the question.

The Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, even within the Land of Fallen Immortals, is not so easily bullied.

Although on the surface the strongest Sword Cultivator Great Power of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion is Yi Yao Great Power, everyone knows that the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion also has a stronger Sword Cultivator Great Power in closed-door cultivation for a long time.

Moreover, the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion has many friends, and offending these sword maniacs would bring endless troubles to oneself.

Recently, two types of Spiritual Objects in the Land of Fallen Immortals have surged in value: Fifth-grade Spiritual Medicines and Fifth-grade Immortal Fire.

Many Great Powers have turned their contribution points initially intended for other uses, through the Immortal Alliance, into Fifth-grade Spiritual Medicines.

But everyone knows that refining a batch of Fifth-grade Spirit Pills takes several years, and given the number of Great Powers in the Land of Fallen Immortals, it’s unclear how many years it would take for one’s turn if they lined up slowly.

Even the most ordinary Great Powers in the Land of Fallen Immortals can earn Immortal Alliance contribution points.

In their hands, they all have more or less some Fifth-grade Spiritual Medicine stored up.

Not to mention the more powerful Great Powers, who earn contribution points at an even faster rate.

Thanks to the deep foundation of the Immortal Alliance, despite the massive demand for Fifth-grade Spiritual Medicine in the short term, they can still guarantee the supply of Fifth-grade Spiritual Medicine.

In order to gain access to Li Shiming’s alchemy sooner, many Great Powers have set their sights on the Fifth-grade Immortal Fire.

However, there are almost no transactions involving Fifth-grade Immortal Fire because once Li Shiming acquires one type, it can no longer be used as compensation for alchemy services.

The Great Powers understand this point: once one possesses Fifth-grade Immortal Fire, it can be integrated into oneself; even if one wants to produce more of the same kind, it can be stimulated with Cave Heaven Energy without needing to obtain it from outside.

So although the value of Fifth-grade Immortal Fire is high, no Great Power would trade their Fifth-grade Immortal Fire.

Li Yuanba never expected that his old acquaintance, Great Power Peng Run, would be the first to bring Fifth-grade Immortal Fire.

He received Great Power Peng Run in a wooden building, and when he saw Great Power Peng Run, Peng Run’s complexion had improved significantly.

But he could still sense that Great Power Peng Run’s injuries hadn’t fully healed.

This is normal; although Great Power Peng Run received treatment from the "Innate Wood" Divine Skills, Li Yuanba, being only a Middle Stage Great Power, couldn’t completely cure Peng Run’s injuries, only alleviate them partially.

"Mr. Li, I’m here to ask for a favor!" Great Power Peng Run spoke directly without beating around the bush.

"Please go ahead, Senior Peng!" Li Yuanba gestured politely.

"Without a very high-quality healing Spirit Pill, my injuries will require at least hundreds of years of painstaking cultivation to fully recover. But once I waste these hundreds of years, I have no hope for further advancement in this lifetime!" Great Power Peng Run said bitterly.

"You want to refine an advanced healing Spirit Pill?" Li Yuanba understood his meaning and confirmed.

"Yes, I heard Mr. Li Shizhen needs Fifth-grade Immortal Fire to prioritize alchemy. I’ve prepared Fifth-grade Immortal Fire and Fifth-grade Spiritual Medicine; I ask for your help!" Great Power Peng Run placed a Mustard Seed Ring in front of Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba took the Mustard Seed Ring and found four jade boxes inside, and a total of forty Fifth-grade Spiritual Medicines, among which only two were for refining Fifth-grade Healing Spirit Pills.

"This?" Li Yuanba hesitated a little.

"Here are four types of Fifth-grade Immortal Fire that I’ve accumulated over my life, in exchange for Mr. Li Shizhen to refine forty furnaces of Fifth-grade Spirit Pills for me!" Seeing Li Yuanba’s astonishment, Great Power Peng Run said with a smile.

He knew that while other Great Powers were tempted, none had actually brought out Fifth-grade Immortal Fire yet; they were all still observing.

He needed Fifth Grade Advanced Healing Spirit Pills to recover from his injuries. As for why he brought out four Fifth-grade Immortal Fires, he had his reasons.

Never mind that these Great Powers are hesitating and observing now; soon enough, they will be eager to use Fifth-grade Immortal Fire to quickly have Li Shiming refine pills.

It’s all about who brings out the Fifth-grade Immortal Fire first; though there are many types of Fifth-grade Immortal Fire in the world, the varieties are limited.

Most importantly, bringing out Fifth-grade Immortal Fire doesn’t greatly disadvantage a Great Power; it’s just consuming some Cave Heaven Energy.

As for the Fifth-grade Immortal Fire leaking out, it depends on who gets it.

If a top-notch Alchemy Master obtains it, and even if you don’t give your Fifth-grade Immortal Fire to the Alchemy Master, the master can still acquire it through other channels. So it’s better to bring it out early and exchange for the greatest benefits.
