Cultivation is just so scientific!-Chapter 196 - 144: New Mansion_2

Chapter 196: Chapter 144: New Mansion_2

The cave dwelling was located at a Mid-grade Spirit Vein, which was only eligible for Qi Refining Ninth Level geniuses who hoped to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage or for Foundation Establishment Cultivators themselves.

Yet Li Shiming, who was merely at the Qi Refining Fifth Level, had occupied a cave dwelling at the Mid-grade Spirit Vein, compelling Brother Cheng to break his silence, fearing he might offend Shiming.

“Brother Cheng is too kind. Jin, who comes from Great Xia along with me, I hope you can look after her!” Li Shiming said with a smile.

“Of course!” Brother Cheng, feeling extremely delighted, promptly agreed upon hearing this.

This was how they got to know Li Shiming, and perhaps in the future, they might even become friends.

Jin Fengzhi, however, felt complicated. When she heard Brother Cheng addressing Li Shiming as a senior, she knew that Shiming’s strength must be at least comparable to Cheng’s.

And for Brother Cheng, an Intermediate Spirit Plant Cultivator, to be so polite showed that there was something extraordinary about the cave dwelling.

“Thank you, Brother Li. I hope that when time allows, you can join us for a gathering!” Jin Fengzhi thanked him with a bow.

“Sure, send a message to my cave dwelling when it’s time. Although this is a temporary residence, I visit daily.” Li Shiming agreed with a smile.

Although the cultivators of the same period weren’t particularly outstanding, there was still some camaraderie.

Moreover, as these cultivators came from the secular world, there was a high likelihood they might return to it if they couldn’t continue in the Cultivation World.

While they were the weakest in the Cultivation World, they held significant influence back in the secular world.

Although practicing the ‘Five Elements Qi Absorption Technique’ required going to the Xun Peak cave dwelling, adjusting the main cultivation time didn’t much affect it.

Every afternoon, Li Shiming would go to the cave dwelling at Xun Peak to cultivate, supported by the Spiritual Energy provided by the Mid-grade Spirit Vein; he believed the cultivation effect would meet his expectations.

He and his clone sat in the cultivation room of the cave dwelling, right behind the Spiritual Energy outlet of the Mid-grade Spirit Vein, with a Gathering Spirit Array set up around them.

A Mid-grade Spirit Vein could support the cultivation of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator; thus it was more than sufficient for two Qi Refining cultivators.

The clone cultivated the ‘Five Elements Qi Absorption Technique’ at a steady rate equivalent to a Heavenly Spirit Root’s 100x cultivation speed, while Li Shiming’s own body maintained the highest speed rate of 38.79.

However, after each session, Li Shiming found his cultivation effect had exceeded theoretical expectations.

According to theory, his body’s cultivation speed should have been 138.79, but the actual effect far surpassed this value.

It was then that he realized an issue he hadn’t noticed before— the cultivation speed of a peak Qi Refining cultivator couldn’t be evaluated by the same standard as that of a Qi Refining Fifth Level cultivator.

Previously, due to inadequate Spiritual Energy environments, he hadn’t met cultivation requirements, but with sufficient Spiritual Energy concentration, the increase in his own spiritual power had brought this to light.

This was good news, as it allowed his cultivation speed not only to surpass that of geniuses with a Heavenly Spirit Root but also to catch up with his clone’s realm more quickly.

As for elevating his clone to Foundation Establishment, he had already changed his mind and decided to wait until his body reached the Qi Refining Peak before considering his clone’s advancement.

After finishing cultivation, he stored the clone back into a mechanical space.

Upon exiting the Cultivation Room, he found a Sound Transmission Talisman floating within the Defensive Array.

He retrieved the Sound Transmission Talisman; it was a message from Jin Fengzhi, inviting him to gather at a certain cave dwelling.

The cave dwelling was located inconspicuously among similar formations at the foot of the mountain.

This area consisted of Early-Stage Qi Refining cultivators’ dwellings, which shared a Spirit Vein. Of course, the Spiritual Energy was sufficient for their consumption.

In terms of Spiritual Energy, as long as one was within the range of the nine peaks and a disciple of the sect, there was no need for concern.

Had Li Shiming initially stayed within the sect’s nine peaks, it’s highly likely his dwelling would have been in this area too.

He arrived on time outside the cave dwelling, and as the Formation opened, he entered and noticed there was a courtyard inside.

The courtyard was small, but it was sufficient for cultivators to plant some flowers and herbs.

“Greetings to Brother Li!” said seven young cultivators including Jin Fengzhi, all bowing in unison.

“It’s been a while, my fellow junior brothers!” Li Shiming looked at these young cultivators and felt quite emotional.

Among his peers, he was one of the older ones. He was eighteen this year, while the youngest of these young cultivators were only fifteen.

After three years of life in the sect, they had all matured.

Regrettably, among these junior brothers, the strongest was only at the Qi Refining Second Level; it was apparent they weren’t faring well.

This was understandable. Normally, cultivators of the same generation would look after each other, but this batch of newcomers was unusual. They had participated in the Ascension Conference and had been attacked along the way, with only ten of the newcomers ultimately reaching the sect.

Moreover, two of the newcomers had lost their will to continue cultivating due to the attack and had completely fallen into despair.

These seven cultivators in front of him had also been greatly affected, and without the care of powerful peers, their growth had been slow.

In fact, among the new trainees of the same period, thirty-two had managed to form their Spiritual Energy Vortex, but those cultivators from the sect’s local waters weren’t on the same level as those who had attended the Ascension Conference.

Those local newcomers had connections within the sect to some extent, unlike those who had attended the Ascension Conference and had no one to rely on.

Thus, after hearing that Li Shiming had taken the lead, they gathered resources led by Jin Fengzhi to reach out to him, the meaning behind their actions going without saying.

“Everyone, please have a seat!” Li Shiming noticed their unease and, smiling, gestured for them to sit.

On a stone table in the courtyard, there were several types of Spirit Fruit and a pot of Spiritual Tea, which was the best these seven could afford to offer.

Jin Fengzhi took the initiative to pour a cup of Spiritual Tea for Li Shiming. The quality of the tea was not high, but for them, being low-ranking members of the sect, having access to Spiritual Tea was already quite thoughtful.

“Brother, at which peak are you currently residing?” Jin Fengzhi asked with a cute smile.

The others looked towards him, hope filling their eyes. The better Li Shiming’s circumstances were, the greater the help he could provide them.

They were all low-ranking disciples; otherwise, they would have already been able to find out about Li Shiming’s situation.

It was well-known that Li Shiming had been targeted for assassination by the Yun Family, which had caused quite a stir within the sect. The impact he had made using the Sect Formation at that time was indeed tremendous.

“I am at Dui Peak as an Intermediate Array Master. And you?” Li Shiming said without any intention of concealing it, then asked in return.

The seven individually reported their situations. Four of them had chosen to be Spirit Plant Cultivators, mainly under the influence of Li Shiming, while the other three were at different peaks.

Whether as Spirit Plant Cultivators or other professions, they were all still at the beginner stage.

It wasn’t that they were inept; there was no easy secondary Cultivation profession. Moreover, their own spirit roots were inherently poor and they were young when they joined the sect, so these three years were primarily focused on learning.

“We are fellow disciples from the same period, and now that I understand your situations, I have two options for you. One, I can give you twenty Elixir Pills to assist in cultivation, enough to get you to the Qi Refining Fourth Level. The second option is I could try to help you master the spells of a secondary profession, but of course, I can only help those engaged as Spirit Plant Cultivators. The three of you will have to select the elixir pills!” Li Shiming said with a smile.

His words were directed at the four Spirit Plant Cultivators led by Jin Fengzhi; the secondary professions of the other three were not something he had dealt with before, and because the techniques obtained within the sect are not to be shared among others, he could only help the Spirit Plant Cultivators.

All seven were pleased; regardless, the fact that Li Shiming was willing to help was a good thing in itself.

The three who did not need to think too much about their options might find that Elixir Pills, while perhaps not appealing to cultivators with good spirit roots, could significantly enhance their cultivation speed given their poor spirit roots.

Li Shiming reached into his storage bag and took out three porcelain bottles, handing them over to the three cultivators.

The elixirs were all acquired from slain cultivators. Stored in the storage bag, they merely served as a disguise, as the real treasures were kept in the cultivation room’s space.

He never used elixirs himself; partly because his cultivation speed had reached its limit and the pills had no effect, and partly because he was concerned that developing a resistance to these elixirs might affect the effectiveness of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
