Chapter 883 - 488: Invitation
Yu Ancestor was not surprised at Ancestor Zhang Kai’s visit to Li Shiming once more, for he knew that Ancestor Zhang Kai owed Li Shiming for the alchemy remuneration.
However, he was still somewhat taken aback when he saw the Nascent Soul Cultivator accompanying Ancestor Zhang Kai.
One couldn’t blame him for not recognizing Master Jiang Hong; even for Nascent Soul Cultivators of medium-sized sects, it was exceedingly rare to meet Master Jiang Hong.
As one of the top three Alchemy Masters of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, his status was exceptionally noble, not someone whom Nascent Soul Ancestors outside the four major sects could meet as they wished.
Yu Ancestor assumed Master Jiang Hong too came to seek alchemy from Li Shiming, and though he was somewhat reluctant in his heart, believing it was poaching his business.
He regarded introducing alchemy to Li Shiming as a business endeavor, preparing to utilize this matter well to make Wuqing Mountain famous.
Otherwise, why would he go to such great lengths, gifting a Fourth-grade Fire Phoenix Treasure Tripod?
Ancestor Zhang Kai did not introduce Master Jiang Hong; if any cultivators knew that Master Jiang Hong came to visit Li Shiming, it would indeed generate a significant impact. Concealing Master Jiang Hong’s identity was the best choice.
With the mindset of "out of sight, out of mind," Yu Ancestor left after leading Ancestor Zhang Kai and Master Jiang Hong to the outside of Li Shiming’s cave mansion. Of course, the fact that Ancestor Zhang Kai showed intentions of wanting to meet Li Shiming alone was also very important.
"Ancestor Zhang, and this esteemed ancestor, please come in!" Li Shiming warmly greeted Ancestor Zhang Kai upon seeing him.
