Chapter 142: Chapter 117 Secret Technique_2

Li Shiming, through the Blood Covenant, sensed the state of the copper corpse; staying within the Ghost Domain for a maximum of one month, the copper corpse could advance to the next level of strength.

This was a progression from the Qi Refining Seventh Level to the Qi Refining Eighth Layer, a feat that cultivators, even with an abundance of resources, could not achieve without years of dedicated cultivation.

The improvement of Corpse Refining was inherently slow, but this slowness was under the condition of insufficient resources. With a large supply of resources, like using Third Grade resources for a Qi Refinement Realm copper corpse, the effects were naturally phenomenal.

And that was just a regular benefit of the Netherworld Ghost Realm Array aiding in Corpse Refining; the research of this Formation was intended to work in conjunction with Secret Techniques to modify Corpse Refining.

Li Shiming decided to embark on a new research project afterward, which was to transform the copper corpse and maximize its strength.

He felt it was a pity that the Netherworld Ghost Realm Array, once set up, covered a wider area and could not be used in the machinery room space; otherwise, he would have liked to send his clone into it for enhancement.

As long as the clone was transformed into the state of a corpse, it could accept the resources for Corpse Refining to strengthen itself.

However, after so many days, the clone had been cultivating in the machinery room space, and it was unclear whether it was influenced by Li Shiming’s consciousness or the machinery room space itself that was affecting the clone, but its aura was gradually changing to match Li Shiming’s aura.

Everyone has their own unique aura, a unique imprint of life, with each individual’s aura being distinct from the others.

Take the clone, for instance, its aura was originally Baili Jin Yan’s, but after about twenty days in the machinery room space, what was originally Baili Jin Yan’s aura was fading, and Li Shiming’s aura was taking its place.

This had an advantage, meaning when the clone’s aura had completely changed, void of any hint of Baili Jin Yan’s aura, he could attempt to summon the clone out of the machinery room space into the real world.

At that time, he could use the Netherworld Ghost Realm Array to enhance himself, and also provide Li Shiming with stronger combat power.

Of course, there was one issue with bringing the clone into the outside world—its appearance.

But this posed no challenge for Li Shiming, perhaps there were many ways to change one’s appearance in the Cultivation World, even enough to fool the heavens.

But it wasn’t that he looked down on these transfiguration methods, at least not the ones available during the Qi Refinement Realm, none of which could compare to plastic surgery of his previous life.

Plastic surgery fundamentally changed the appearance, unlike those simple transfiguration techniques.

The transfiguration methods of the Cultivation World usually required the use of Spiritual Power, and once Spiritual Power was used, there was a chance of detection by powerful beings.

The oppression of hierarchy in the Cultivation World was very clear; the Spiritual Power of a higher realm had a powerful penetrative effect against the Spiritual Power of a lower realm.

However, plastic surgery was different; it involved changing bone structure, facial muscles, skin, and even teeth, resulting in a complete alteration of the face, unrelated to Spiritual Power and nearly indistinguishable from nature.

Li Shiming spent some time learning about facial related medicine, cosmetic surgery, and other relevant knowledge within IBMz15.

With the capability to manipulate things down to the micrometer level in the machinery room space, coupled with the ability to easily create a sterile and germ-free environment, these were arguably the best conditions for surgery.

Of course, given the clone’s constitution, even if the operation were done in toxic water, it would not affect its body in the slightest.

Learning this knowledge didn’t take long, and within half an hour, he had mastered the relevant information; with that, in his previous life he could have been considered a giant in the field of cosmetic surgery.

Thanks to the machinery room space and IBMz15 that could transfer the entirety of the knowledge directly to his brain and use the CPU and memory of IBMz15 to flip through the information at the fastest speed.

Furthermore, the memory and learning ability of a cultivator far surpassed those of ordinary people, giving him an unmatched talent for learning.

In terms of the clone’s appearance, Baili Jin Yan originally had an extremely handsome face, which needed a well-thought-out redesign.

Since the clone was equal to himself, Li Shiming desired a visage that reached the pinnacle of male beauty.

He referenced an abundance of ancient design drawings, animations, and handsome faces from ancient to modern times, then wrote an analysis software for IBMz15 and let it calculate and analyze on its own.

After a long wait, IBMz15 projected a three-dimensional face in front of his eyes.

Li Shiming was at a loss for words to describe the face, which had a nose like a hanging gall, lips red as if painted, eyebrows like drawn swords, eyes like bright stars, jade-like complexion, and a spirit so outstanding it was akin to unparalleled jade and beauty rivaling Pan An.

Indeed, he had used all the adjectives he could think of—this was a face that should not exist in the world.

A face of utter handsomeness, the pinnacle of masculine beauty.

He could almost imagine that with such a visage making an appearance, it would inherently come with buffs, male hatred +10, female closeness +100.

“This is it! Cultivation is all about freedom and ease. If one even hesitates over the appearance of an avatar, what’s the point of pursuing immortality? Might as well go back to the mundane world and become an official early on.”

However, as soon as the surgery began, trouble arose. The avatar had cultivated the “Sword Demon Secret Manual,” an offensive technique and simultaneously one of the strongest Body Refining Techniques.

Li Shiming’s Qingyuan Wood Sword couldn’t even cut the avatar’s skin, and that was after infusing it with Spiritual Power.

If a High Grade Sword Artifact couldn’t breach the avatar’s skin, one could imagine just how formidable Baili Jin Yan must have been back then.

In the end, it was only by using the avatar’s sword base, which had been trained in the “Sword Demon Secret Manual,” that the surgery could proceed smoothly.

The avatar’s sword base was made of Third Grade Metal, the same caliber as the weapons of Golden Core Elders.

Under his conscious control, the sword base performed what was arguably the most precise surgery in any world.

Micro-scale surgery which, in his previous life, likely couldn’t be achieved even with a hundred years more of development.

The facial map produced by the IBMz15 was also micro-scale, and with the two combined, they achieved a hundred percent restoration.

The Third Grade Sword Base was extraordinary—the skin sliced open, the bones cut with ease, the muscles divided effortlessly.

A surgery unparalleled in history was unfolding within the computer room space.

Li Shiming had also practiced Body Refining Techniques and was well aware of the benefits of top-tier Body Refinement.

Injuries such as those to the flesh, for a body that had practiced top-tier Body Refining Techniques, could completely self-heal in a short time without leaving the slightest scar.

The facial bones of the avatar were altered, the paths of facial muscles minutely adjusted, making the eyes appear larger.

After the surgery was complete, there was no need for bandaging or any medication.

In just a short ten minutes, all signs of injury on the avatar’s face had vanished, and what appeared within the computer room space was the face designed by IBMz15’s analysis.

Even seeing the real avatar’s face, which he had crafted himself, Li Shiming still felt a sense of suffocation.

He doubted that if he let the avatar face female cultivators, just the visage alone would incapacitate them from acting.

Even when dealing with male cultivators, by capitalizing on their moment of astonishment, the avatar could easily gain the upper hand.

Of course, it would still be best to prepare a mask for the avatar to maximize the element of surprise offered by their appearance.

After some time, once the avatar’s aura had completely transformed, even presenting it before the Holy Ice Sect Elder, who was Baili Jin Yan’s father, he wouldn’t be able to recognize the avatar.

“When will I be able to learn the ‘Sword Demon Secret Manual’? Li Shiming stared at the avatar, enviously muttering to himself.

It wasn’t that the “Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill” was inadequate, but that the “Sword Demon Secret Manual” was simply too good.

The “Sword Demon Secret Manual” was not merely a Body Refinement Technique; Body Refinement was only part of it.

What mattered most was that the “Sword Demon Secret Manual” did not conflict with other Body Refining Techniques, such as the “Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill.”

Of course, once someone had cultivated the “Sword Demon Secret Manual,” their body would be strengthened to the utmost, and the “Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill” would offer limited further enhancement.

Without access to Third Grade Metal, Li Shiming could not cultivate the “Sword Demon Secret Manual,” and he could only covet what had just occurred.

If even a High Grade Sword Artifact couldn’t penetrate the unprotected skin of the avatar, it raised the question of how strong this body was and how long it would take to reach such a level with the “Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill.”
