Cultivation is just so scientific!-Chapter 1672 - 882: Jade Pearl_2

In other words, the thirty-six islands of the ’Yuzhu Islands’ are all floating islands suspended in the air.

To make a mountain float, it’s achievable with special formations.

However, the method that allows mountains to float is only applied to the mountains; these islands are over ten times larger than typical mountains, making the difficulty of suspending them much greater.

In the previous Cultivation World, although methods to make mountains float existed, they were usually utilized within Grotto Heaven, where there is an abundant amount of Spiritual Energy that can be freely mobilized, allowing the floating mountains to be more stable.

"Welcome, fellow cultivator, to Yuzhu Islands. Please first come to Kun Three Island to register your information!" Just as Li Shiming approached the ’Yuzhu Islands,’ he received a voice transmission.

He hesitated slightly but still descended towards Kun Three Island.

Kun Three Island is easily identifiable; almost any cultivator in the Cultivation World can recognize this type of named island.

Kun Three Island is also the most outward island with its formations completely open; here, many inns have been built, with many cultivators residing.

Following the landmark’s indication, Li Shiming arrived at the registration office, where a Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioner was responsible for the registration work.

"Senior, this is your identity badge. Within ’Yuzhu Islands,’ large-scale spells are prohibited, fighting is forbidden, and no building destruction is allowed!" The registration cultivator, without showing any particular reverence for Li Shiming being a Great Cultivator, handed him a chest badge nonchalantly and instructed.

Li Shiming’s gaze slightly focused; from the tone of this registration cultivator, he could discern that the cultivator was confident and assured.

Should he cause trouble on ’Yuzhu Islands,’ the islands have sufficient power to suppress him.

Though he did not reveal his true strength, by exposing his identity as a Sword Cultivator Great Cultivator, it surely holds significant deterrent power within the Cultivation World.

"I will abide by the rules of ’Yuzhu Islands’!" Li Shiming accepted the badge and pinned it to his chest, smiling as he spoke.

With the badge on his chest, he felt warmly received by the grand formation of ’Yuzhu Islands.’

This reception is limited, as the ’Yuzhu Islands’ can choose at any time to eject cultivators off the island and rescind their entry privileges.

Until Li Shiming uncovers the reason behind the strong confidence of ’Yuzhu Islands,’ he will not dare to employ formation abilities to sneak into the islands.

He did not immediately leave Kun Three Island; upon leaving the registration office, he wandered along the streets of Kun Three Island.

The street sides are lined with stores, selling and purchasing various Spiritual Objects.

Li Shiming, at a shop selling texts, purchased a map of ’Yuzhu Islands.’

From the map, he learned that each of the thirty-six islands of ’Yuzhu Islands’ has its unique features.

It almost encompasses the various cultivation skills and abilities of the Cultivation World; they are all present here.

The primary reason ’Yuzhu Islands’ attract cultivators to gather here is because of these auxiliary role cultivators, providing various cultivation resources for cultivators to rely upon and grow.

The jade badge on Li Shiming’s chest permits entry to all islands except for the main island.

He selected an island closest to the main island to better explore its situation.

As he flew to that island, he caught the scent of alchemy, with hints of Spiritual Fire and various Spiritual Medicine, along with the odors produced during alchemy.

This island has nine alchemy rooms, arranged in a nine-palace formation, each with attending cultivators busily occupied.

The cultivators coming here are all for alchemy; at least nine decent Pill Masters occupy each of the nine alchemy rooms.

Li Shiming walked up to one alchemy room, and from that distance, he could perceive more information.

He shook his head slightly, sensing the odor of alchemy from this room; though successful, the quality was only of primary grade.

He moved to another alchemy room and soon concluded that the alchemy level here was inferior to the former.

He was not here for alchemy; the judgment of the alchemy master’s level was instinctive for him as a fellow Alchemy Master.

He withdrew his focus, remotely sensing the main island, finding no strong aura, not even that of a Peak Great Cultivator. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Because of this, he became even more cautious, retracting his perception, not daring to act excessively.

If the main island housed the aura of a Peak Great Cultivator, he would not worry much, as Peak Great Cultivators, though formidable, did not concern him.

Li Shiming had slain five Peak Great Cultivators; the Peak Great Cultivators cultivated by ’Yuzhu Islands’ can’t surpass the prowess of those five.

Yet the absence of a Peak Great Cultivator’s aura suggests ’Yuzhu Islands’ power is likely beyond even Peak Great Cultivators.

"Is it a Half-step Great Power or a Great Power?" thought Li Shiming silently.

Even against a Half-step Great Power, it would be beyond his capability to contend.

Li Shiming abandoned the idea of probing the main island, instead exploring various islands to judge ’Cloud Island Sea’s’ overall cultivation level through the proficiency of various arts present.

Upon arriving at Kanyi Island, he discovered this island focused on talisman creation.

In the Cultivation World he previously inhabited, talismans, especially high-quality ones, were only equipped by a handful of cultivators due to their rare materials.

However, on Kanyi Island, he found a surprisingly large quantity of high-quality talismans.

He entered a shop selling blank talismans, having considered talisman crafting before, and learned it upon initially entering the Cultivation World.

But as his cultivation advanced, talisman materials became increasingly rare, making talismans more like a survival tool rather than a regular method for cultivators, with few Talisman Makers remaining.

Without sufficient talisman materials, unless specially trained Talisman Makers, other cultivators would struggle to pass the material practice stage.

Noticing the high quality of talisman materials here, he gained interest in talisman crafting.

"Senior, blanks talismans of Great Cultivator Level just arrived, and there’s a variety of Great Cultivator Level talismanic ink available!" the attending Nascent Soul cultivator bowed and introduced.

"Give me a blank talisman to examine!" Li Shiming said curiously.

Crafted talismans have their material aura masked by spell aura, making it difficult for him to identify the talisman material.

Blank talismans, on the other hand, without interference from spell aura, allow him to accurately analyze the material.

The attending Nascent Soul cultivator placed a blank talisman before Li Shiming and signaled to his attendant, who promptly served a cup of Spiritual Tea.

Li Shiming had no interest in that cup of Spiritual Tea he disdained; his focus was fully on the blank talisman before him.

He found the material of this blank talisman unfamiliar and judged it to be derived from a certain sea plant.

The ocean holds countless resources, with no one able to clearly enumerate them; in the previous Cultivation World, ocean exploitation was minimal.

Numerous spirit beasts inhabit the ocean, forming a mutual understanding with human cultivators, with ocean resources controlled by spirit beasts and land by humans.

Clearly, ’Cloud Island Sea’s’ unique island existence fostered its distinct resources.

Blank talismans refined from fourth-grade high-stage sea plants are durable enough to withstand spells from Great Cultivators except Peak Great Cultivators.

If Li Shiming were to craft a Magic Talisman with this blank talisman, he couldn’t utilize Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’s reinforcement; adding Shenxiao Thunder Pearl would overwhelm the blank talisman’s quality.

"Is there a blank talisman of even higher quality?" Li Shiming asked, placing down the talisman.

"Those high-quality blank talismans are extremely priced, only available through exchange, not purchasable with Spirit Stones!" replied the attending Nascent Soul cultivator, first stunned but quickly responding.
