Chapter 808: Chapter 450: Emerging from Seclusion (2)

“If Shiming keeps failing, you won’t be able to handle it!” Elder Zuo reminded.

“Can’t you say something nice? That’s a fourth-grade spiritual medicine. I just hope Shiming’s miracle of never failing continues!” Fan Ancestor said, not liking what he heard, and glared as he spoke.

“What did Shiming say about it?” Elder Zuo no longer thought about interfering with Li Shiming’s practice and asked aloud.

“Come back in ten days, he looks very confident!” Fan Ancestor replied with a smile.

“Then I’ll come back in ten days.” Elder Zuo also said happily.

“You should go back. I’ll wait here for ten days. I’m a bit uneasy, worried someone may unwittingly disturb him!” Although Fan Ancestor had instructed Elder Su, considering the importance of the fourth-grade spiritual medicine, he was in no mood to go back and wait.

It’s better to wait outside Sword Holding Peak than to be restless back home.

It’s only ten days, and it’ll pass in the blink of an eye.

“Alright, I’ll stay here with you!” Elder Zuo waved his hand, releasing two sets of tables and chairs, and said with a smile.

To be able to stay, he even volunteered to pour a cup of Spiritual Tea for Fan Ancestor and took out some Spirit Fruits.

In contrast to the tension of the two Nascent Soul Ancestors, Li Shiming, the person involved, acted like nothing was amiss.

After obtaining the ’Heavenly Mysterious Earth Blood Ginseng,’ he placed it into the machine room space, paying it so much attention that he assigned two brains to handle the alchemy matter.

As he reached the late-stage Golden Core, his spiritual power significantly increased, achieving 10-nanometer control through the ’Divine Eye Access’ in the machine room space.

Though the refining of fourth-grade spirit pills is exceedingly complex and full of uncertainty, within the environment of the machine room space, with the help of the life-bound treasure IBMz15, alchemy proceeded extraordinarily smoothly right from the start.

Now, his Red Sun Spirit Fire has evolved greatly from before.

Due to cultivating ’Nanming Leaving Fire,’ the Red Sun Spirit Fire gained significant advantages. Previously, his realm restricted the enhancement of the Red Sun Spirit Fire.

Now the Red Sun Spirit Fire has reached the late-stage Golden Core level and is significantly stronger than the theoretical late-stage Golden Core Red Sun Spirit Fire.

Yet, even so, refining a fourth-grade spirit pill is still a massive endeavor.

According to Shushan Sect’s alchemy legacy, refining a fourth-grade spirit pill with a late-stage Golden Core realm generally requires ten days.

Based on the life-bound treasure IBMz15’s estimated time, refining the fourth-grade spirit pill, ’Shushan Tianxuan Treasure Pill,’ takes nine days, attributed to the enhanced power of the Red Sun Spirit Fire.

Li Shiming consumed a third-grade Cultivation Assistance Spirit Pill, estimating himself as a peculiar Alchemy Master type.

Daring to both refine a fourth-grade spirit pill and maintain essential cultivation without distraction at the same time.

In one corner of the cave dwelling, the Illusion Spirit Jiao stayed coiled, showing no changes with the Dragon Vein Source Crystal, its aura still at the middle-stage demon level, not yet advanced to the later stage.

However, the bloodline within the Illusion Spirit Jiao was undergoing tremendous changes. Though possessing the dragon clan bloodline and massively resourced by Li Shiming, the Jiao’s dragon blood was awakened.

But compared to the dragon blood within the Dragon Vein Source Crystal, the Illusion Spirit Jiao’s dragon blood was insignificant.

In the Grotto Heaven, the four-clawed dragon stored most of its bloodline into the Dragon Vein Source Crystal.

Li Shiming only knew about the dragon blood in the Dragon Vein Source Crystal and its immense benefits to the Illusion Spirit Jiao, but he didn’t realize how substantial those benefits were.

He entered a cultivation state; meanwhile, another brain analyzed the current situation. The commotion he stirred was significant, even abandoning the Mustard Seed Ring gained from Elder You Xia, tossing it and the corpse into the machine room space.

News from the clone Li Yuanba indicated a pact between Beishu Continent and the Skywalk Trading Company, halting the Yongle Battlefield, making Li Shiming even more cautious.

Now he regretted cultivating the ’Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique’; it’s his greatest weakness in actions.

All other Spiritual Objects and such were stored in the spatial objects within the machine room space without exposure risk.

Yet the ’Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique’ was cultivated and couldn’t be abandoned, necessitating reduced excursions.

The ten days may usually pass swiftly, but this time felt exceptionally prolonged for Fan Ancestor and Elder Zuo.

Especially by the ninth day, they lost interest in tea and conversation, frequently glancing towards Sword Holding Peak.

They couldn’t be blamed for their unsettled minds; Li Shiming’s alchemical success was crucial to their cultivation futures.

The unparalleled talent Li Shiming exhibited in alchemy became their hope.

On a resource-poor fourth-grade continent like Beishu, advancing further during the Nascent Soul Stage is exceedingly difficult, but Li Shiming’s presence offered a glimmer of hope.

If Li Shiming succeeded in refining a fourth-grade spirit pill on his first attempt and ensured its quality, they would have access to high-grade fourth-grade spirit pills for cultivation, significantly boosting cultivation results.

During these days, many late-stage Golden Core cultivators wanted to approach Li Shiming, having heard that Li Shiming was available.

However, Elder Su intercepted them outside Heavenly Eye Peak, informing them of the two Nascent Soul Ancestors waiting outside Sword Holding Peak, prompting them to depart sensibly.

Finally, on the tenth day, with eager eyes from Fan Ancestor and Elder Zuo, Sword Holding Peak’s Mountain Protection Array opened.

Li Shiming flew out with a pale complexion; had it not been for his smiling face, the two Nascent Soul Ancestors might have thought something went awry.

Li Shiming’s pallor was partially feigned and partly caused by the conflict from attempting to cultivate two spiritual techniques simultaneously.

The previous day he already succeeded in refining the fourth-grade spirit pill, ’Shushan Tianxuan Treasure Pill’; he didn’t intend to emerge early, as the longer the alchemy took, the greater its perceived value.

Thus he attempted to cultivate the ’Human Dao Reincarnation Technique,’ though the other spiritual cultivation technique, the ’Greedy Heaven Sleep Dream Technique,’ consistently remained in cultivation status, stopping only when maximum 191 brains usage was required, always dwelling in that cultivation state otherwise.

When he cultivated the ’Human Dao Reincarnation Technique,’ a conflict arose between the two spiritual cultivation techniques. If not for the timely alert from the life-bound treasure IBMz15, causing him to cease cultivation, he might have suffered more than just spiritual shock.

A solution to the cultivation conundrum of the ’Human Dao Reincarnation Technique’ and the ’Greedy Heaven Sleep Dream Technique’ was discovered: cease the ’Greedy Heaven Sleep Dream Technique’ every time the ’Human Dao Reincarnation Technique’ is cultivated.

It’s not greed’s fault; despite the lower grade of the ’Greedy Heaven Sleep Dream Technique,’ its unique aspect allows it to be continuously cultivated.

While the higher grade ’Human Dao Reincarnation Technique’ implies more future possibilities, he was similarly reluctant to abandon it.

“Greetings, Master Ancestor, Uncle Ancestor!” Li Shiming bowed respectfully to the two Nascent Soul Ancestors in greeting.

“Shiming, are you alright?” Fan Ancestor inquired, concerned about Li Shiming’s condition rather than the alchemy matter.

Given Li Shiming’s late-stage Golden Core power, his pallor was particularly worrying.

“Thank you for your concern, Master Ancestor. It’s just that my alchemy has greatly exhausted me!” Li Shiming wouldn’t mention how easy the alchemy was; the harder the alchemy seemed, the greater the benefits gained.

Simultaneously, he could stretch the process longer, avoiding becoming merely a tool for the Nascent Soul Ancestors’ alchemical practices.

Of course, he was overthinking; even considering continuous fourth-grade spirit pill crafting, Beishu Continent lacked the available resources.

The fourth-grade spiritual medicines held by the Nascent Soul Ancestors resulted from long-term accumulation.

Nascent Soul Ancestors often bear a habit of seeking Alchemy Masters for crafting only after amassing enough fourth-grade spiritual medicines, which slightly increases the success rate through successive crafting of the same spirit pill.
