Cultivation is just so scientific!-Chapter 583 - 338: Siege

Li Shiming read through the contents of the "Mountain Opening Dominating Body Technique" and, with the help of his lifebound spiritual artifact IBMz15, recorded everything down.

He paused for a moment, as the lifebound spiritual artifact IBMz15 had already analyzed the cultivation technique. With plenty of previous cultivators’ experiences to reference, it swiftly sent him the analysis results.

The data transmitted to Li Shiming from the lifebound spiritual artifact IBMz15 was many times faster than if he had observed and remembered it himself. It could even be said that the data stored in the IBMz15 was equivalent to Li Shiming’s memory.

Li Shiming had a sudden inspiration; he transferred the Golden Core Peak spiritual power route of the "Mountain Opening Dominating Body Technique" to the Heavenly Ghost.

Controlled by the Heavenly Ghost, the Body Refining Golden Core’s body began to cultivate, and it seemed extremely familiar with the technique. Once it started operating, the Heavenly Ghost didn’t need to control it much; after initiating the process, it continued on its own.

It made sense, after all. Being the main cultivation technique for the Body Refining Golden Core, ceaseless cultivation for hundreds of years meant that the body’s familiarity and the formation of muscle memory were normal.

Li Shiming thought of having the Body Refining Golden Core cultivator practice the "Mountain Opening Dominating Body Technique" in order to restore the Golden Core within the cultivator’s body.

If there was no cultivation technique to help recover the spiritual power inside the Golden Core, then once the Heavenly Ghost controlled the Body Refining Golden Core cultivator’s body for battle, and the spiritual power inside the Golden Core was greatly depleted, the time required to recover would be exceedingly long without the aid of a technique.

In that case, the Body Refining Golden Core cultivator would lose the ability to sustain battle. This Body Refining Golden Core cultivator’s body was currently an important combat strength for Li Shiming, and this also allowed the Heavenly Ghost to join his battle system in advance.

Li Shiming did not leave behind the Body Refining Golden Core cultivator; he took both the Body Refining Golden Core cultivator and the Nascent Soul Body and stored them in the machine room’s space.

Having two bodies at the Heavenly Ghost’s disposal, when the Body Refining Golden Core cultivator cultivated, the Heavenly Ghost could enter its body to maintain the cultivator’s strength stably.

The rest of the time, the Heavenly Ghost would inhabit the Nascent Soul Body to nourish its own being.

On this occasion, the Heavenly Ghost also benefited greatly: by devouring all the spiritual power of the Great Elder Level Body Refining Golden Core cultivator, the Heavenly Ghost’s own strength had significantly increased.

Without the protection of the Great Elder Level Body Refining Golden Core cultivator, there were no more living cultivators in this cave dwelling.

Li Shiming looked at the portal guarded by the Great Elder Level Body Refining Golden Core cultivator. The door was protected by an array that couldn’t be opened without the appropriate method of passage.

But this was only true for normal cultivators. Li Shiming’s Divine Thought swept over it and found a way to break the seal.

He casually pushed open the door, and behind it, as he had guessed, was a warehouse.

In the Cultivation World, despite having spatial items for storage, almost all powers still preserved warehouses.

Potentially, the contents of a single warehouse could be stored in one spatial item.

Yet, powers still kept items in warehouses instead of just a single spatial item.

This was because items stored in a warehouse could be clearly seen and were managed collectively by several people, which significantly reduced the likelihood of someone embezzling the goods.

When faced with a large amount of cultivation resources, a cultivator’s self-control may not be very high.

Without oversight, a power’s resources might end up in the hands of a single cultivator.

Another important function of the warehouse was to stabilize morale, as with a warehouse in place, the cultivators of a power knew their cultivation resources were stored within, and every day someone would take out resources from it to use.

Li Shiming looked at the warehouse, it was clear that because of the troubles that befell Skywalk Trading Company in the Beishu Continent, Skywalk Trading Company had consolidated resources here.

Most of the Spiritual Objects here were for cultivation resources; nearly five thousand Second-grade Spirit Pills for the Foundation Establishment Stage were placed inside a wooden box.

The quantity of Third-grade Spirit Pills was also nearly five hundred.

However, the quality of these Third-grade Spirit Pills was varied, as they were made by different Alchemy Masters.

Li Shiming somewhat regretfully looked at so many Third-grade Spirit Pills, as there were hardly any that were suitable for his own use.

He might be consuming Third Grade Advanced Spirit Pills now, but those were refined by himself, with very little impurity residuals, almost the limit of Third Grade Advanced Spirit Pills.

He didn’t value the Spirit Pills made by other Alchemy Masters, as the impurities in them made him hesitant to consume them.

The gap was actually a demonstration of the micron-level control in the machine room space. Before he had refined IBMz15 as his lifebound spiritual artifact, when he refined Spirit Pills in the machine room space, the micron-level control ensured the quality of Third-grade Spirit Pills was at their peak.

If it were not for the fact that top-grade Spirit Pills required a large number of similar Spirit Pills’ essence to assemble, with his pill-making skills he could have even made Top-grade Third-Grade Spirit Pills.

Afterward, with the help of his lifebound spiritual artifact IBMz15, even when refining pills in the outside world, the quality could reach a level similar to what was achievable inside the machine room space.

The nearly five hundred Third-grade Spirit Pills, all for cultivation assistance, were useless to him, but he planned to exchange them for some useful Spiritual Objects when he had the opportunity.

There were also some Second and Third-grade Spiritual Medicines, which would be a colossal fortune for ordinary Golden Core cultivators, but for him, they didn’t count for much.

With his level of pill-refining, the portion he took from the cultivators who sought pills was more than enough for both his and his clone Li Yuanba’s cultivation needs, with surplus to spare.

He collected all the Spiritual Objects from the warehouse, and after collecting the cultivation resources, he began to gather artifact-refining materials.

There were no completed Spiritual Artifacts or magical arrays here, only some artifact-refining materials.
