Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1728: Chapter 910: Development (2)

With the help of the supreme treasure "Heavenly Spirit Jade Pearl," by the time Li Shiming has accumulated enough Peak Great Cultivator Spirit Pills, Li Yuanba may well have already advanced to Peak Great Cultivator.

Only Yin Shilan, because she formed her Nascent Soul rather late, if he wants to be Daoist couple with her for a long, long time, he needs to keep helping her raise her realm.

With Yin Shilan’s current cultivation conditions, aside from Li Yuanba, there is probably no second Cultivator in the entire Cultivation World who can compare to her.

The Fourth-grade Spirit Pills Yin Shilan uses for cultivation are mostly high-level Spirit Pills, with a small portion being Fourth Grade Top-Grade Spirit Pills.

One must know that Li Shiming will not refine any Spirit Pills for other Cultivators aside from Great Cultivator Spirit Pills, so all the Fourth-grade Spirit Pills used by Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator are refined by other Alchemy Masters, and in terms of quality they simply cannot compare with the Fourth-grade Spirit Pills refined by Li Shiming.

As time passed day by day, the Cultivation World seemed to have calmed down. Li Shiming had not gone into seclusion all this while, which made the Great Cultivators of the Cultivation World all extremely pleased.

As long as they had Great Cultivator resources, they could seek out Li Shiming and commission Alchemy.

Although each Alchemy session required a very long wait—sometimes one or two months, sometimes one or two years—none of the Great Cultivators had any complaints if it meant obtaining high-level Great Cultivator Spirit Pills refined by Li Shiming.

The struggle over Great Cultivator resources in the Cultivation World had nothing to do with Li Shiming and would not affect him.

In the competition for Great Cultivator resources, he was still the one who profited the most; every time he accepted an Alchemy commission, his gains were higher than that of the client.

Three years later, just by cultivating every night like this, Yin Shilan actually reached Nascent Soul Early Stage Peak.

Yin Shilan was about to advance to Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and Li Shiming was even more nervous than when he himself advanced.

He mobilized six Formation mountains, forming a massive Gathering Spirit Array, and at the same time sent all the prepared Fourth Grade Top-Grade Spirit Pills into Yin Shilan’s hands.

On this day, all the Spiritual Energy from the spiritual vein of the Master of Wan Shou Sect was drawn into the Gathering Spirit Array set up by the six Formation mountains. Because he had given advance notice, it did not cause any impact to Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Instead, when the many Cultivators of Ten Thousand Beast Sect looked up above their heads, they could not help but be shocked by Li Shiming’s grand handiwork.

The seven mountains in the sky had transformed into massive Spiritual Energy Vortexes, whose centers were exactly where Li Shiming and Yin Shilan’s cave dwelling was located.

Even though the Cultivators of Ten Thousand Beast Sect had broadened their horizons greatly over the years, they were still filled with a sense of wonder at the seven mountains hanging in the sky.

"Lan’er, I’ll be right by your side. If anything feels wrong you can stop the advancement at any time, don’t worry about failing!" Li Shiming stood beside Yin Shilan, repeatedly instructing her.

Yin Shilan smiled, a little helpless yet happy. She was only advancing from Nascent Soul Early Stage to Nascent Soul Middle Stage; there was really no need for such a big spectacle.

Beneath her, she was seated on the "Infinite Jade Mat" that Li Shiming had taken from the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven Treasure Lotus Hall; this was the treasure Li Shiming used for his own cultivation.

Around her, the Spiritual Energy had almost condensed into a misty rain; in such an environment, one could feel Spiritual Energy rush into the body with a single breath.

She had to thank those several decades she spent living in Luanyang Palace; there she had obtained the True Inheritor transmission of "Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique," so advancing to Nascent Soul Middle Stage held little difficulty for her.

In fact, in such superpowers, as long as one cultivates the main Inheritance Techniques and one’s temperament isn’t too jumpy, always trying to pull off something novel and outrageous, there will generally be no major problems.

Because every question arising in the cultivation process of the main Inheritance Techniques has already been experienced by countless predecessors, who have left detailed records.

And from Nascent Soul Early Stage to Nascent Soul Middle Stage, it does not yet touch upon any comprehension of laws, which reduces the difficulty of advancement by a great deal.

With abundant Spiritual Energy, the aid of Fourth Grade Top-Grade Spirit Pills, and the support of Luanyang Palace’s core inheritance, plus Yin Shilan’s own talent being quite decent, this advancement was not a difficult matter.

Watching Yin Shilan’s aura rise to Nascent Soul Middle Stage, a smile appeared on Li Shiming’s face.

This advancement of Yin Shilan’s increased her Life Span once again, giving her far more ample time to cultivate as a Great Cultivator.

"Lan’er, congratulations on advancing to Nascent Soul Middle Stage. I’ve prepared a gift for you!" Li Shiming said with a smile as he took out two magical treasures and placed them before Yin Shilan.

"This is?" At first Yin Shilan did not pay much attention, assuming they were just ordinary magical treasures.

That defensive shield was still within expectations: a Fourth Grade Top Quality defensive magical treasure.

Its appearance was very similar to the Turtle Shell Shield the two of them had forged together when they first met, clearly something Li Shiming had refined specially.

Yin Shilan knew some things about Li Shiming and had seen his collection; she knew the Fourth Grade Top-Grade magical treasures in his hands were unusual, so even though the Turtle Shell Shield was a Top-level Fourth Grade Magical Treasure, she was only surprised by its outer resemblance to the original Turtle Shell Shield.

But that azure flying sword gave her a special feeling, as if this azure flying sword possessed life.

"This is the Turtle Shell Shield, for you to use as a regular body-protecting treasure. Its defensive power is extremely strong; among Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Defense Treasures, it can be counted as the strongest!" Li Shiming spoke with absolute confidence.

This Turtle Shell Shield was refined by him from a Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Turtle Shell brought back from the Cloud Island Sea; just the defensive runes inscribed on it numbered three hundred million.

If inscribing any more defensive runes would not have raised this defensive treasure’s quality to a Spirit Treasure, he would have wanted to increase the number of defensive runes severalfold.

Defensive magical treasures are the most frequently used. Li Shiming naturally could not allow every use of Yin Shilan’s defensive treasure to require killing all surrounding Cultivators, so the best approach was still to keep its quality at Fourth Grade Top Quality.

"This flying sword is called ’Yinren Sword.’ It is a Spirit Treasure I refined for you. I don’t want you to use this flying sword for battle. After ’Yinren Sword’ becomes your Lifebound Flying Sword, it will greatly enhance your cultivation. And beginning to nurture the Artifact Spirit of a Spirit Treasure in Nascent Soul Middle Stage will be beneficial to the future increase of the Spirit Treasure’s power!" Li Shiming continued introducing the flying sword to Yin Shilan.

Yin Shilan was not like Li Shiming, who could have five Lifebound magical treasures, all of which were Spirit Treasures, bringing considerable help to his cultivation.

Previously, Yin Shilan’s cultivation was insufficient, and a Spirit Treasure would have exerted too much pressure on her Spirit, so Li Shiming had not given her one.

In fact, Li Shiming had long since refined this "Yinren Sword," and only after Yin Shilan advanced to Nascent Soul Middle Stage and could refine a Spirit Treasure without negative impact did he bring out "Yinren Sword."

"A Spirit Treasure, this is far too precious!" Yin Shilan looked at "Yinren Sword" in astonishment, exclaiming.

"It’s not all that precious. If I wasn’t worried about attracting trouble, having a few more Spirit Treasures like this wouldn’t be a problem!" Li Shiming waved his hand carelessly.

Yin Shilan was no clueless novice who knew nothing of the Cultivation World. She had studied a great deal in Luanyang Palace and understood just what kind of treasures Spirit Treasures were.

She did not refute Li Shiming’s words, but instead joyfully admired "Yinren Sword."

This was a flying sword Li Shiming had refined specifically for her, naturally tailored to her. Even without having recognized her as master yet, she could feel how close "Yinren Sword" was to her own being.

Unable to wait any longer, she cast the Master Recognition Technique toward "Yinren Sword." When she advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, Li Shiming had not prepared a Lifebound magical treasure for her, so it was very easy now to make "Yinren Sword" her Lifebound Flying Sword.

Feeling the affection from the Artifact Spirit within "Yinren Sword," she felt as if "Yinren Sword" were a child that needed her care and love.

When the Spirit Treasure "Yinren Sword" turned into energy and entered her Nascent Soul, she immediately sensed the unique qualities of a Spirit Treasure.

The Spiritual Power Pattern within her body clearly became much more active, and under such conditions, her cultivation speed would increase by several tens of percent.

"This is the best gift!" Although Yin Shilan had never paid much attention to external objects, such a Lifebound Spirit Treasure Flying Sword still made her uncharacteristically overjoyed.
