Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 233: Chapter 163 Inventory (Added for book friend 171021102948988)

Li Shiming rifled through the storage bracelet of a Beishu Qi Refining Cultivator, moving from the magic artifact section to the adjacent Jade Scroll section.

This Beishu Qi Refining Cultivator had stored numerous Jade Scrolls, most of which were ordinary.

He casually picked up an ordinary Jade Scroll and entered it with his Spiritual Thought to examine it, only to find that it was actually the cultivator’s diary.

The diary detailed the conflicts this Qi Refining Cultivator had with a talented cultivator within his sect, noting his grievances against the talented cultivator in a chilling tone that made even Li Shiming, an outsider, sense the abnormality in the cultivator’s psyche.

Indeed, it confirmed the saying: Who keeps a diary if they’re of sound mind?

Li Shiming set aside all the Jade Scrolls containing diaries. He had no time to delve into these, fearing they might disturb his own mental state if he read too many.

Of all the useful Jade Scrolls, there were only two, one purple and one golden.

He first inspected the purple Jade Scroll with his Spiritual Thought and discovered that it contained a Cultivation Technique called “Purple Qi Eastward”, whose principle was to absorb the purple qi bred within the first rays of morning sunlight into one’s body.

This first wisp of purple qi was significantly beneficial to a cultivator, capable of enhancing the Taoist Body, purifying the Spiritual Power Pattern, and fortifying the spirit.

Of course, the more comprehensive a Cultivation Technique, the milder its effects tend to be.

But “Purple Qi Eastward” was an auxiliary Cultivation Technique that, even if it only slightly enhanced a cultivator every day, would accumulate over time to formidable levels, substantially aiding the cultivator’s progress.

Li Shiming was very pleased; he had acquired another useful Cultivation Technique for himself, the greatest benefit of which was its gradual and steady growth without having to worry about realm limitations affecting its utility.

Even at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Stages, “Purple Qi Eastward” would still be effective.

However, seeing that the Jade Scroll of “Purple Qi Eastward” was purple, he surmised that this technique was not considered particularly precious in Beishu.

He then turned his attention to the golden Jade Scroll, which documented a Spiritual Thought Technique named “Hundred Thoughts Thousand Reversions.”

Unlike the “Thousand-Hammered God Technique” he had, which fortified Spiritual Thought into Divine Thought, “Hundred Thoughts Thousand Reversions” focused on dividing Spiritual Thought.

If “fighting with both hands independently” represents dual-tasking in the mundane world, then “Hundred Thoughts Thousand Reversions” is the dual-tasking of the Cultivation World.

However, “Hundred Thoughts Thousand Reversions” not only entails dual-tasking but also continuously splits Spiritual Thought, allowing, depending on the degree of Cultivation, the division of Spiritual Thought into multiple, independently thinking entities.

A flash of insight struck Li Shiming, and he suddenly realized—was this not the perfect technique to manage the nine Flying Sword Spiritual Artifacts?

He surmised that the Beishu Qi Refining Cultivator likely planned to cultivate “Hundred Thoughts Thousand Reversions” after advancing to Foundation Establishment, dividing his Spiritual Thought to control each of the nine Flying Sword Spiritual Artifacts.

With these, by either forming arrays or attacking directly, merely overpowering through sheer numbers would make him invincible among his peers.

Yet, to control nine Spiritual Artifacts with “Hundred Thoughts Thousand Reversions”, though using a set of nine Flying Sword Spiritual Artifacts consumed less Spiritual Power than disjointed ones, the energy depletion was still immensely taxing, likely outstripping the total amount of Spiritual Power available even in the early-stage Foundation Establishment.

Li Shiming’s eyes sparkled with excitement; “Hundred Thoughts Thousand Reversions” and the nine Flying Sword Spiritual Artifacts seemed tailor-made for him.

With his capabilities as a High-level Array Master, his far superior Spiritual Thought amongst his peers, and the robust nature of the spiritual power of a Magic Cultivator—planing to cultivate the “Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Technique” during his Foundation Establishment to become a Magic Cultivator—his Spiritual Power was famously substantial.

Furthermore, “Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Technique” being among the top-tier techniques, he believed he could wield the nine Flying Sword Spiritual Artifacts shortly after entering the Foundation Establishment Stage.

As for the gold-attributed Spiritual Artifact won this time, it would be more effective if used directly by an avatar.

The other contents of the storage bracelet were a vast array of various materials, including only a few array materials of low quality, with the majority being Alchemy materials, likely reflecting the original owner’s personal interests.

Upon seeing these Alchemy materials, he remembered a furnace among the top-grade magic tools; that turned out to be a Pill Furnace.

Li Shiming had no current plans to learn Alchemy, as his daily Cultivation schedules were already very tight, requiring substantial time for his own research.

However, he hadn’t considered disposing of these Alchemy materials either. With such an abundance, should he ever impulsively decide to learn Alchemy, he wouldn’t have to worry about the materials needed to start practicing.

Unbeknownst to him, the reason for the abundance of Alchemy materials in the storage bracelet was because the Mingxin Sect had relocated entirely, and the original owner, a Junior Alchemist with an extraordinary background, had obtained a portion of the Qi Refinement Realm’s Alchemy materials from the sect for this bracelet.

Li Shiming had no intent to sell these Alchemy materials; otherwise, he would have discovered that their value was not inferior to the cumulative worth of the other Spiritual Objects in the storage bracelet.

After tallying his loot, he casually fastened the storage bracelet onto his wrist.

This storage bracelet, which he had snatched from an opposing force in front of a group of Golden Core Elders, had a clear origin, and he faced no problems using it himself.

The elder flying the Flying Boat glanced at the storage bracelet on Li Shiming’s wrist, his eyes revealing a hint of envy. As a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he still used a storage bag, far from attaining a bracelet of such caliber.
