Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1353: Chapter 723: Forming a Bond

Great Cultivator Luo Pei placed all the Spiritual Objects into the Grotto Heaven and handed them over to Li Shiming.

This time, Great Cultivator Luo Pei didn’t stray too far; instead, he planned to reside near the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion. He chose to live under the sea, entering the Grotto Heaven frequently.

This way, he could communicate with Li Yuanba at any time. All the alchemy affairs managed by Li Yuanba in the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion could be handed over to Li Shiming, especially those at the Great Cultivator Level.

Li Yuanba’s own alchemy would be too wasteful; without the help of the ’Hundred One-point Pill Technique,’ the yield was halved each time.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei dug out a cave dwelling on an underwater rock a thousand miles from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and used a Formation to create a space that repelled seawater, also adding a Concealing Array to the cave dwelling.

After completing these preparations, he entered the ’Heavenly Human Dao’ Hall within the Grotto Heaven.

At this moment, in the ’Heavenly Human Dao’ Hall, Li Shiming was taking out the Treasure Lotus Hall.

The Treasure Lotus Hall was very small, placed next to the Book Collection Pavilion and Treasure Pavilion magical buildings, looking like a toy, but the space inside the Treasure Lotus Hall was no smaller than those magical buildings.

Li Shiming took out a Token, which was the pass for entering and exiting the Treasure Lotus Hall. Although it was recognized by Li Yuanba’s avatar, he and the avatar were one, making no difference in the recognition of the master.

Just like he gave ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ to Li Yuanba, who could treat ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ as a life-bound magical treasure and absorb it into his body at any time.

He entered the Treasure Lotus Hall, sensing the aura of the treasure lotus. Although a vein-locking plate was installed by Li Yuanba, and the Great Cultivator Spirit Vein was providing Spiritual Energy, it was still thin compared to the Spiritual Energy in the ’Heavenly Human Dao’ Hall.

He thought for a moment, manipulated the Token, and opened the Treasure Lotus Hall to let the Spiritual Energy from the ’Heavenly Human Dao’ Hall enter the Treasure Lotus Hall freely.

As he expected, the Token provided the authority for both cultivator and Spiritual Energy entry and exit.

Soon, the extremely dense Spiritual Energy of the ’Heavenly Human Dao’ Hall flooded into the Treasure Lotus Hall, making the runes on all four walls of the hall more active, and the spirit water in the pond slowly increased.

Li Shiming thought for a moment and collected a portion of the original spirit water, waiting for the new spirit water to increase to a certain amount before collecting another portion of the original spirit water.

Under his Divine Sense manipulation, he gathered all the original spirit water, planning to use it as irrigation.

This spirit water was contaminated by Master Shi Dong, and thinking of how Master Shi Dong once sat in this spirit water made him unable to drink it.

Although a bit of trouble, after this process, the pond’s spirit water was replaced with a new one, allowing him to use it for himself or guests.

He planned to cultivate in the Treasure Lotus Hall hereafter, sharing the ’Heavenly Human Dao’ Hall’s Spiritual Energy while benefiting from the treasure lotus’s enhancement.

The effect of the treasure lotus was very potent, almost doubling his cultivation efficiency.

The biggest gain this time might be the Treasure Lotus Hall, allowing him to cut his Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivation time in half.

Don’t underestimate half the time, as it equates to years.

Li Shiming looked at the ’Jiguang Xunying Boat’ inside the Treasure Lotus Hall. The ’Jiguang Xunying Boat’ placed in this isolated Treasure Lotus Hall couldn’t be sensed by its true owner.

He had witnessed that a powerful cultivator could project part of their might from afar just by a mental mark.

The ’Jiguang Xunying Boat,’ he speculated, likely belonged to a mighty figure from the White Emperor Sect.

Even if he had some means, a mighty figure’s projected might could easily annihilate him multiple times.

Thus, he did not plan to take out the ’Jiguang Xunying Boat’ now; fortunately, the Treasure Lotus Hall could block its connection to the outside, or else a mighty figure might contact it en route.

He already had an idea about how to handle the ’Jiguang Xunying Boat.’

He waved over to Great Cultivator Luo Pei beside him, and Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s body stiffened, his eyes glazed over.

The Heavenly Ghost flew out of Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s body, reaching the ’Jiguang Xunying Boat’ and entering its interior.

Under Li Shiming’s Divine Sense guidance, the Heavenly Ghost reached the ’Jiguang Xunying Boat’s core, where there was a mental mark, the Recognition Mark.

The Heavenly Ghost opened its mouth wide and bit down on the mental mark, causing a silhouette to appear as it was bitten.

Li Shiming was startled and was ready to attack with ’Heavenly Demon Entering the Ear’ and ’Sanmei Divine Wind,’ both capable of directly assaulting the soul and mind.

However, he stopped just before the attack.

Because he found the silhouette somewhat blurry, lacking any wisdom, a mere reflex triggered by the Heavenly Ghost’s attack.

If the mental mark wasn’t attacked inside the Treasure Lotus Hall, it would not only manifest a silhouette but also link to the mighty figure’s distant body if instinctively triggered.

This would allow the mighty figure to exert some battle power through this silhouette.
