Cultivation is just so scientific! - Chapter 767 - 430: Later Stages

Chapter 767: Chapter 430: Later Stages

“Shiming, you have come out of seclusion!” Elder Su said, looking at his disciple with a smile on his face.

The aura emanating from Li Shiming was now closely approaching that of his master’s level.

He didn’t ask Li Shiming about the roaring sound from earlier, since Li Shiming didn’t bring it up, it must be Li Shiming’s secret.

“Master, I had some insights during my cultivation, and accidentally spent a longer time in seclusion!” Li Shiming said, seeing the Golden Core Elder not far from Elder Su. He realized why Elder Su was waiting outside Sword Holding Peak, and he apologized.

“Cultivation is the most important, alchemy can be done at any time!” Elder Su disagreed with him, emphasizing his point.

“Yes, Master!” Li Shiming bowed in response.

“You should rest for a few more days, we can talk about alchemy once you are fully recovered!” Elder Su seemed to have forgotten about the Alchemy Seeker Golden Core Elder standing nearby as he continued.

The Golden Core Elder wanted to say something, but opened his mouth several times without being able to utter a word.

“I can actually start alchemy normally tomorrow, I indeed need some time to sort out the gains from this session!” Li Shiming said with a smile.

He then took out a jade bottle and handed it over, placing it in Elder Su’s hands.

Elder Su was slightly startled but immediately knew what it was, and he didn’t refuse.

“You go ahead!” He waved his hand and turned to leave after speaking.

As he flew, he opened the jade bottle, which contained twenty third-grade Spirit Pills used for cultivation.

Li Shiming knew his master well; if he hadn’t voluntarily given the third-grade Spirit Pills, Elder Su would never have asked for them himself.

Elder Su’s own cultivation resources were not considered few, but they weren’t enough for him to continue his cultivation unendingly; instead, he needed to constantly work for the sect in exchange for cultivation resources.

Golden Core cultivators, who wish to have a chance to advance to Nascent Soul, need to reach the late stages of Golden Core as soon as possible and become a Great Elder to have a glimpse of hope for advancing to Nascent Soul.

Life span is what restricts the vast majority of Golden Core cultivators from becoming Great Elders; the primary reason among them is still the influence of cultivation resources on the speed of cultivation.

Li Shiming also didn’t dare to give Elder Su too many third-grade Spirit Pills; he would take out a small quantity of third-grade Spirit Pills every once in a while to compensate for Elder Su’s resource issue.

Back in his cultivation room, Li Shiming was still marveling at his six months of cultivation results.

The achievements of his six months of cultivation could probably match the results of other Golden Core cultivators’ hundreds of years of cultivation.

Clearly, the abilities of his lifebound magic weapon, IBMz15, greatly aided his cultivation of the “Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique.”

From today on, he no longer needed to use the Taiqing Xuan Turtle Shell for cultivation; by activating True Intent Transmutation, he could obtain even more refined Taiqing Xuan Turtle energy directly from a slight connection with the Taiqing Xuan Turtle.

What pleased Li Shiming the most was that after the “Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique” advanced to perfection, his speed of absorbing spiritual power increased somewhat.

This was somewhat unexpected, but considering the state of Taiqing Xuan Turtle’s energy cycling in the simulated environment, the slight increase in his absorption speed really wasn’t significant.

He was somewhat relieved that he had paid the price to switch body refining techniques; the “Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique” was superior in every aspect compared to the “Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill,” especially in the enhancement of spiritual energy absorption, making it the most compatible with him.

Having an adequate supply of third-grade Spirit Pills, the “Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique” allowed him to shorten the time needed to absorb third-grade Spirit Pills, thereby increasing the effect of cultivation in the same amount of time.

“Six months have passed, I hope nothing much has happened,” he mentally connected with Li Yuanba, and immediately received updates from the Yongle Battlefield.

He then accessed the unmanned satellite system to review the surveillance records left over the past six months.

From the surveillance records stored by the unmanned satellite system, he found no significant movements on Yongle Island, indicating that the Grotto Heaven carved out by the Great Power Zhai Ge had not yet been found.

If it were that easy to find, cultivators would have discovered it long ago.

Besides, whether there really is a Grotto Heaven opened by Great Power Zhai Ge is still an uncertain matter; all of it is based on the judgment and speculation of Skywalk Trading Company.

While continuing the investigation of the killing of Great Elder Sun Ao on Yongle Island, Skywalk Trading Company never suspected Li Shiming. They didn’t believe an alchemy master, who rarely left Shushan Sect, possessed the strength to kill Great Elder Sun Ao.

In recent years, Skywalk Trading Company has continued pushing forward with their exploration of various locations across the Beishu Continent, and while many potential spots were found, none turned out to be the Grotto Heaven they were searching for.

As Li Shiming resumed his alchemy services, the Silver Corpse greeted alchemy-seeking cultivators, and he himself continued striving in his practice.

Even though his cultivation speed had increased, it had not yet caught up with that of his avatar, Li Yuanba, whose Golden Core was steadily approaching the peak of the Golden Core Middle Stage.

Being a Sword Cultivator, Sword Intent surpassing his realm, all Li Yuanba needed was to continuously accumulate spiritual energy.

For over five years, he rarely participated in battles, spending the majority of his time cultivating.

As support for his cultivation, Elder Sword had given up most of the spiritual energy allocated to him by the six major sects to him.

At the level of a Nascent Soul Ancestor, the time required for a real cultivation session was too long. Situated in the environment of the Yongle Battlefield, Elder Sword couldn’t dedicate himself entirely to cultivation.
