It seems that this relic is nothing but a sugar-coated bullet, but perhaps even Old Monk Du Yuan didn’t expect a Qi Refining Fourth Level Cultivator with little foundation like Li Shiming to cultivate Spiritual Thought.

Not to mention cultivators like Li Shiming, even among those second-generation immortals with astounding talents, very few could cultivate Spiritual Thought during the Qi Refinement Realm.

The main reason is that the talent for spirit root seeds and the talent for the spirit are two different types of talent; having top-notch spirit root talent does not mean that one’s talent for the spirit is equally outstanding.

Geniuses like Baili Jin Yan are really rare, otherwise, his father at the Holy Ice Sect would not have prepared so many resources that surpass the needs of the Qi Refining Realm for him.

Li Shiming took a thread and hung the relic on his chest so that he could constantly absorb the high-quality Vajra energy seeping out of the relic.

As for the erosion of the Buddhist Seal, he found it to be an excellent method for training Spiritual Thought. After being blocked by Spiritual Thought, the Buddhist Seal would be continuously eroded.

Spiritual Thought, relying on his soul, could be said to be endlessly supplied.

The Buddhist Seal emanating from the relic was like water with no source, and as Spiritual Thought continued to erode it, the Buddhist Seal eventually transformed into pure spiritual energy, which was absorbed by Spiritual Thought, making it even stronger.

“This is like getting sugar-coating and sending back the bullet!” Li Shiming couldn’t help feeling proud after this discovery.

As for the other Cultivation Technique that Old Monk Du Yuan gave him, ‘Oral Lotus,’ Li Shiming had already mastered it during this time and could fully coordinate its use with ‘Devil’s Sound into the Ear (Fake).’

The power of ‘Oral Lotus’ is not trivial, primarily due to its effect of bewildering people’s hearts. However, after his research with the IBMz15, the main contribution was the IBMz15’s analysis of the two Sound Wave Techniques of Buddhism and Devilry, combining them to form a new Cultivation Technique.

This new technique, which Li Shiming called ‘Devil Sound Lotus,’ referred to ‘Oral Lotus”’s application of Spiritual Power Pattern, as well as the voice control skills of both techniques, and included research findings on sound from later generations.

In the known domain, the role that IBMz15 could play could be seen through ‘Devil Sound Lotus.’

This new Sound Wave Technique might still be immature in its application of spiritual power, but in terms of sound skills, it far surpasses the Buddhist and Devil’s Sound Wave Techniques.

Currently, its power is primarily limited by Li Shiming’s own strength. It is effective against cultivators of the same realm, but for those of higher realms, the effectiveness decreases progressively with each level beyond his own.

Of course, the effectiveness of ‘Devil Sound Lotus’ still needs to be tested in actual combat, and this is also deduced by IBMz15’s analysis.

When cultivating the ‘Five Elements Qi Absorption Technique,’ Spiritual Thought once again surprised Li Shiming.

As usual, he sat beside a spirit vein and used the abundant Spiritual Energy to cultivate the ‘Five Elements Qi Absorption Technique.’

As the ‘Five Elements Qi Absorption Technique’ operated, driven by his craving for external Spiritual Energy, Spiritual Thought involuntarily formed a large net that stretched outside his body, enveloping the entire entrance of the Low Grade Spirit Vein.

The metal property Spiritual Energy emitted from the Low Grade Spirit Vein could not escape the capture of Spiritual Thought and was all sent into his body by Spiritual Thought.

Just this action alone greatly increased his cultivation efficiency.

He had some research findings about the cultivation of Qi Refining cultivators.

Mainly, it combined his own experience with the Heavenly Spirit Root and Three Spirit Roots, as well as what he had learned from interacting with other cultivators, to arrive at these research results.

If the cultivation efficiency of the Heavenly Spirit Root is rated as 100, then the Dual Spirit Roots would have a cultivation efficiency of 50.

But this 50 of the Dual Spirit Roots is not a true 50; it also depends on which spirit root of the Dual Spirit Roots is being cultivated with respect to the associated Cultivation Technique. If the specific spirit root data for the Cultivation Technique is 80, then the cultivation efficiency is 80% of 50, which is 40 in reality.

The theoretical cultivation efficiency for Three Spirit Roots is 33.33, and like Dual Spirit Roots, it also depends on the correspondence between the Cultivation Method and the spirit root data, and the actual cultivation effect is calculated proportionally from within this 33.33.

Some cultivators who practice two types of attribute techniques need to add the data of the two attribute spirit root seeds together and then divide by two before continuing the calculation.

The actual cultivation efficiency of Li Shiming is about 27, which definitely belongs to the very top tier among the Three Spirit Roots.

This is also why he doesn’t cultivate slowly; it was extremely correct for him to choose to cultivate the metal property Spiritual Power Pattern from the beginning.

As for the Four Spirit Roots, the theoretical cultivation effect is only 25, and since the Four Spirit Roots are spread among each spirit root, their cultivation effect is even worse.

Not to mention the Five Element Roots, whose cultivation efficiency is even more miserable.

Of course, these are all theoretical figures. In reality, there is a significant gap between Heavenly Spirit Root, Dual Spirit Roots, Three Spirit Roots, and Four or Five Spirit Roots in terms of sensitivity to and absorption rate of Spiritual Energy; the better the spirit root, the stronger the sensitivity and absorption rate.

Cultivators with Four and Five Spirit Roots often cannot reach their theoretical cultivation efficiency simply because they can’t sense enough Spiritual Energy. Even after absorbing Spiritual Energy, a lot of it is wasted in the Spiritual Energy Vortex.

To some extent, Spiritual Thought reduces the gap in sensitivity to and absorption rates of Spiritual Energy.

Spiritual Thought allows for clearer sensing of Spiritual Energy and can extend outside the body, forming a more efficient collection net than the body’s own absorption, gathering and channeling suitable Spiritual Energy into the body.

With Spiritual Thought, Li Shiming’s actual cultivation effect can almost reach the theoretical limit of 27.

Although it can’t compare with the Heavenly Spirit Root’s efficiency of 100, it’s enough to catch up with the poorer part of the Dual Spirit Roots cultivators.
