Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1501: Chapter 797: Deal

Li Shiming took some Great Cultivator Spirit Pills, which were not particularly great, but ones that he didn’t care for, and gave them to Great Cultivator Luo Pei.

These Great Cultivator Spirit Pills were able to enhance Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s cultivation level.

In the long-distance commerce fleet, Li Shiming resided on the first Long-distance Flying Boat, while Great Cultivator Luo Pei stationed himself on the last Long-distance Flying Boat.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei was cultivating the "Black Water Flood Sky Skill," a water element cultivation method. After its analysis by IBMz15, the optimal cultivation method was quickly summarized.

The Heavenly Ghost needed Li Shiming’s guidance to master the cultivation of "Black Water Flood Sky Skill" by Great Cultivator Luo Pei.

Through the connection with the Heavenly Ghost, Li Shiming deeply immersed himself into the body of Great Cultivator Luo Pei and observed the water rules imprint that was previously impossible to see.

The water rules imprint on Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s Nascent Soul allowed the Heavenly Ghost to manipulate the Nascent Soul, enabling Great Cultivator Luo Pei to exert the power of water rules.

Upon seeing the water rules imprint on the Nascent Soul, Li Shiming frowned.

This extremely vague water rules imprint showed him how weak Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s mastery of the water rules was.

No wonder Great Cultivator Luo Pei could barely defeat any great cultivator without the Spiritual Treasure Black Water Sword; with such a water rules imprint, the power of water attacks could be very limited.

He felt a stirring in his heart and transferred a wisp of consciousness through the connection with the Heavenly Ghost to take over Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s body.

He divided a part of his brain to control Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s body.

Since he himself was already a Great Cultivator, he had much experience in manipulating the Nascent Soul.

He immersed his mind into Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s Nascent Soul, and insights into water rules began to arise.

These insights into water rules came from observing the production process of the Five Elements Rules within the Half-Life Cave Heaven, which also manifested on the five Nascent Souls of his true body.

Therefore, understanding the water rules was like replicating the content of the water rules imprint on the Nascent Soul of his true body for Li Shiming.

As he began to comprehend the water rules, the water rules imprint on Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s Nascent Soul started to change.

More insights into the water rules made the water rules imprint gradually become clear.

Of course, the clarity was limited, as it stopped changing when it reached the extreme of what Li Shiming grasped about water rules.

He began to guide Great Cultivator Luo Pei in cultivating the "Black Water Flood Sky Skill," and due to the enhancement of the water rules imprint on the Nascent Soul, the efficiency of cultivating the "Black Water Flood Sky Skill" greatly increased.

After guiding Great Cultivator Luo Pei in cultivating the "Black Water Flood Sky Skill" once, he left the cultivation practice to the Heavenly Ghost.

Although the Heavenly Ghost lacked the ability to learn individually, it had no trouble repeating his cultivation practice.

Li Shiming observed the water rules imprint on Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s Nascent Soul and found it almost identical to the water rules imprint on his own Nascent Soul.

He couldn’t help but shake his head, seeing how shallow the water rules Great Cultivator Luo Pei had previously mastered were.

Upon reflection, it made sense. Great Cultivator Luo Pei is an Independent Cultivator; becoming a Great Cultivator was already a stroke of incredible luck. How could he possess strong water rules with the knowledge and inheritance of a Loose Cultivator?

Li Shiming’s forced enhancement of the water rules imprint on Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s Nascent Soul could not be applied to a normal cultivator.

It’s unlikely any Great Cultivator would surrender their freedom and sign a strict contract to gain stronger rule imprints, allowing him to completely dominate the body or even the Nascent Soul through the contract.

This would be fully exposing one’s existence before Li Shiming, leaving no secrets whatsoever.

Only in this special case of Great Cultivator Luo Pei, where the soul is replaced by the Heavenly Ghost, would the Heavenly Ghost not care about the secrets of Great Cultivator Luo Pei.

If Li Shiming attempted this with Great Venerable Hongfa, even under the restraints of a contract, Great Venerable Hongfa would not tolerate such a thing.

Five Long-distance Flying Boats travelled over the ocean. With the aura of great cultivators at both ends and the Commerce fleet belonging to Central State Commerce, they encountered no trouble.

After more than forty days of voyage, the five Long-distance Flying Boats approached the Dongqi Continent.

Li Shiming stood on the deck of the first Long-distance Flying Boat, gazing at the land ahead, which was Dongqi Continent, a place he had left for many years.

He thought of many things; here, under the name Li Shizhen, he joined the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, made many friends, and had teachers and senior brothers.

He could finally see these familiar people again, and he felt a sense of near-hometown apprehension.

At this moment, he perceived the aura of a great cultivator approaching and activated the "Divine Sight," recognizing the person coming.

The visitor was Liu Ziyun, the person in charge of Dongqi Continent for Central State Commerce, and genuinely a person from Central State Commerce who was good to him.

Unexpectedly encountering here, perhaps it wasn’t by chance after all.

Li Shiming glanced at the Long-distance Flying Boat beneath him and understood Liu Ziyun’s intention.

This long-distance commerce fleet was initially set to arrive at the Central State Continent around twenty to thirty days after he killed two Great Cultivators of Central State Commerce, but over forty days had passed, and the headquarters of Central State Commerce must have realized something was off.

Such a fleet, sailing under the flag of Central State Commerce and arriving at Dongqi Continent, certainly would not be unnoticed by Liu Ziyun, the person in charge of Dongqi Continent for Central State Commerce.
