Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 132: Chapter 112 Witch_2

If it weren’t for the girl, Li Shiming wouldn’t have needed a temporary cave dwelling.

When Ren Fei’er regained consciousness, she felt pain throughout her body and thought about the previous pursuit by the old monk.

The warm flow inside her body was slowly recovering the pain, it seemed she had escaped the old monk’s pursuit.

“Right, I seem to have seen my brother-in-law!” Ren Fei’er’s mind conjured up the appearance of Li Shiming, giving rise to an intense sense of grievance.

She was injured protecting her brother-in-law, when had she ever suffered such indignity?

Ren Fei’er completely forgot that she seemed to have sneaked out, her playful nature far stronger than her desire to save others.

Opening her eyes, her injuries, although treated with elixir pills and healing rapidly, was troublesome because the Buddhist Spiritual Power within her body had a severe suppressing effect on the spiritual power in her body.

The casual blow from Old Monk Du Yuan, although most of its force was blocked by Ren Fei’er’s life-saving spiritual object, the remaining Buddhist Spiritual Power still suppressed her abilities due to mismatched attributes and realm, leaving her with barely a tenth of her strength.

“Damn old bald donkey, when I get back I’ll tell mom to take revenge for me!” Ren Fei’er thought bitterly.

What she saw was a room, where a strange lantern was placed on the stone wall, lighting up the entire room.

Ren Fei’er saw the figure sitting at the entrance of the room, back facing her.

Perhaps because she was in a very weak state, or perhaps because she knew Li Shiming had saved her, she felt an intense sense of safety looking at his silhouette.

“You’re awake, eat something first!” Li Shiming’s senses were extremely sharp, and when Ren Fei’er opened her eyes, he sensed it and turned around to say.

Ren Fei’er had seen portraits of Li Shiming, which were preserved within the Heavenly Sea Sect, and were part of the disciple’s records.

Before she fainted from her injuries, she had also seen Li Shiming, and it was the sight of him that made her feel as if she had seen a family member, allowing her to entrust her safety to him without worry.

Looking at Li Shiming now, behind him was darkness, while the light illuminated his face; under the stark contrast of light and shadow, Li Shiming’s already handsome features took on an especially charming aura.

Li Shiming was able to achieve third place in the Great Xia examination, not merely because of manipulations with the papers or Gu Jia’s actions, but primarily because the Emperor considered Li Shiming’s appearance befitting of the title “third place.”

For some reason, Ren Fei’er’s heartbeat sped up while looking at Li Shiming turning his head, like a lost little deer crashing around in her heart.

“What’s happening to me, did that old bald donkey’s cultivation technique contain poison?” she quickly checked her internal condition.

No matter how she checked, aside from the Buddhist Spiritual Power, she found no other troubles in her body.

Li Shiming did not concern himself with Ren Fei’er’s wild imaginings; he took out spirit rice from his storage bag, and after thinking for a moment, also took out a section of spirit bamboo shoot that he had saved and not eaten.

He then went outside the cave, and after a short while, when he came back in, Ren Fei’er could smell the aroma of Spirit Food.

Li Shiming stepped outside the cave and put the spirit rice and spirit bamboo shoots into the storage space, where he used his consciousness to cook spirit rice and stir-fried spirit bamboo shoots in the storage space.

He divided the Spirit Food into two portions, one for himself and one for the girl.

Ren Fei’er was also hungry. She had High-level Grain Avoidance Pills in her storage bag, but they were nowhere as tasty as Spirit Food; the aroma alone made it hard for her to resist.

But as soon as she raised her hand, she felt soreness in her arm and couldn’t help but let out a slight moan.

Hearing Ren Fei’er’s cry of pain, and realizing her injuries, Li Shiming summoned a hand of spiritual power to support her against the nearby stone wall, then the hand of spiritual power fed her the Spirit Food.

Ren Fei’er wanted to refuse at that moment, but she was already hungry, and the Spirit Food in front of her nose made her unable to resist opening her rosy lips.

“Delicious!” She ate the Spirit Food, and during breaks between being fed by the hand of spiritual power, she couldn’t help but praise.

It wasn’t that the spirit rice and spirit bamboo shoots were particularly high-grade; although the spirit rice Li Shiming provided was of extremely high quality, the issue was that the type of spirit rice he brought out was a common variety, which was not what Ren Fei’er usually ate.

Spirit Bamboo shoots need no further introduction. When it comes to Spirit Plants, Spirit Bamboo, which even non-practitioners can cultivate, isn’t considered particularly great for eating, aside from the uses of its leaves.

The key to deliciousness lies in Li Shiming’s cooking, within the server room space his consciousness can achieve control at a micrometer level.

With micrometer-level control, even the most ordinary ingredients can be cooked to bring out their best flavors.

Not to mention, inside the IBM z15 there’s a wealth of culinary papers and materials, all of which help Li Shiming take Spirit Food cooking to its ultimate heights.

Gratified by Ren Fei’er’s praise, Li Shiming smiled contentedly, feeling a sense of acknowledgment.

“So, did that bald donkey find you?” After finishing the Spirit Food, Ren Fei’er felt much better and asked with curiosity.

She knew very well that the old monk wouldn’t so easily let her go. The monk and her mother were archenemies; upon encountering her, it would be either kill or capture.

“Are you talking about Master Du Yuan? I hid you away, and Master Du Yuan left without discovering you!” Li Shiming replied frankly without hiding anything.

“You’re really amazing, to actually deceive that bald donkey Du Yuan!” Ren Fei’er expressed with admiration in her eyes.

It seemed to her that Li Shiming’s rescuing her was nothing compared to his ability to fool Old Monk Du Yuan.

Li Shiming was somewhat displeased with Ren Fei’er referring to Old Monk Du Yuan as a bald donkey; after all, Old Monk Du Yuan had treated him well. But when he thought about Ren Fei’er’s injuries, as well as the relentless pursuit by Old Monk Du Yuan, he came to understand.

Still, it was a strange feeling to hear what seemed like a well-behaved young girl continuously calling someone “bald donkey.”

“What’s your name, and why is Master Du Yuan trying to kill you?” Li Shiming asked.

“My name is Ren Fei’er. You can call me Fei’er. That’s what my mother calls me. That bald donkey has a grudge against my mother. He saw me and struck me with a palm. Thankfully, I’m fast on my feet…” Ren Fei’er began angrily recounting the event, but then she changed her tone and added, “Fortunately, I met you!”

“You rest up. I’ll be staying until tomorrow morning. We’ll part ways in the morning, as I need to head to the capital of Nanshan Country!” Li Shiming replied with a smile after understanding the situation.

He raised his hand and used his Spiritual Power to dim the LED light on the rock wall, making it easier for Ren Fei’er to rest.

He then returned to the entrance of the cave and sat down, contemplating the content of the ‘Ice Heart Jade Thought Technique.’ Through his connection with the IBM z15, he was thoroughly analyzing the technique.

Ren Fei’er, who had just woken up, was far from sleepy. Her eyes roamed curiously, fixing on the light installed on the rock wall.

The light showed no indication of spiritual power fluctuations, which meant it was not a Spiritual Object. Yet, there was no sign of fire, unlike any mundane light she had seen before.

She glanced at Li Shiming, who had his back to her, and quietly extended her small hand. Although it was still somewhat painful, casting the Object Driving Skill wasn’t a problem.

The Spiritual Power reached out to the LED light. Li Shiming sensed Ren Fei’er’s actions but did not stop her.

He was already capable of manufacturing LED beads by himself; such small-scale technological products could be made in the server room space with its micrometer-level control, provided he had the raw materials.

However, learning the skills to manufacture each type of technological product would take up a lot of his time.

Therefore, he would only study the necessary materials for essential technological products, with the majority of his time still being dedicated to cultivation.

For the people of this world, the LED light was an inexplicable marvel, powered by four batteries that allowed it to shine for over two hundred hours continuously.

On the other side of the LED light, there was also a solar charging panel that could recharge the four batteries when placed under the sun.

This was something Li Shiming had prepared for travel, ensuring that he could minimize taking items from the server room space and maintain his daily routines with the LED light.

The LED light flew to Ren Fei’er’s side. She pressed the tactile switch with her Spiritual Power, and the brightness instantly disappeared.

In a hurry, she continued to press with her Spiritual Power; the LED light turned on, but the brightness was the same as when she first woke up, illuminating the entire room.
