Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 723: Chapter 408 Invitation

Li Shiming had arranged the Heavenly Gang Four Phase Array next to him because he was preparing to test the results of his five years of cultivation.

In front of him, inside the body of Silver Corpse Nanming, from the position of the Corpse Pill to a right arm, and then from the right arm to the fingertip of the right index finger, a channel had already formed, composed of the Nanming Leaving Fire pattern.

This was built over five years with the help of Silver Corpse Nanming. His life-bound magic weapon, IBMz15, based on the characteristics of Nanming Leaving Fire, had provided this scheme after countless simulations.

Following his will, a small orange flame appeared at the fingertips of Silver Corpse Nanming and slowly drifted away from the fingertip.

This was the greatest progress Silver Corpse Nanming had made in the cultivation of Nanming Leaving Fire, as it finally could leave the body of Silver Corpse Nanming to be controlled.

Furthermore, Silver Corpse Nanming’s ability to control the Nanming Leaving Fire had also greatly improved, a point that even Li Shiming envied.

Li Shiming was also cultivating the Nanming Leaving Fire, but he was still stuck on the phase of building the internal fire pattern and couldn’t even achieve basic control.

The body of Silver Corpse Nanming had been specially modified, which naturally endowed it with the ability to control Nanming Leaving Fire. As its level increased, this control ability also improved continuously.

The level of Silver Corpse Nanming had advanced to the middle stage of Silver Corpse, and sometimes advancing a Silver Corpse’s strength was even easier than that of a cultivator.

The prerequisite was having sufficient cultivation resources, and Third-grade Corpse Refining resources were extremely precious.

Of course, the most important thing was that Li Shiming, the master, had reached the Golden Core Middle Stage, raising the level limit of Corpse Refining to the Golden Core Middle Stage as well.

Not just Silver Corpse Nanming, Li Shiming originally only had one Silver Corpse from Elder Lv that was already at the middle stage. Now, his other Silver Corpses had all ascended to the middle stage.

No, there was one Silver Corpse that had not ascended; that was the one he left in Xia Country, Silver Corpse Shasheng, which remained at the early stage of Silver Corpse due to lack of resources.

Without resources, the time needed for a Silver Corpse to promote was extremely long.

Although Silver Corpse Shasheng had the help of formations set up by Li Shiming, without a couple hundred years, it was not likely to make any progress.

Before Silver Corpse Nanming appeared a ’Five Elements Nine Revolutions Furnace’.

Li Shiming’s consciousness entered the body of Silver Corpse Nanming and completely controlled Silver Corpse Nanming using the master’s identity.

The Nanming Leaving Fire flame that flew out entered into the ’Five Elements Nine Revolutions Furnace,’ and the ’Five Elements Nine Revolutions Furnace’ suddenly trembled as the temperature of the Nanming Leaving Fire flame was too high, triggering its self-protection.

Luckily, since the ’Five Elements Nine Revolutions Furnace’ was a magical artifact, and also because Li Shiming was intentionally controlling the power of Nanming Leaving Fire, it did not get burnt down.

”It looks like I need to make a new Pill Furnace!” Li Shiming said helplessly, shaking his head.

The ’Five Elements Nine Revolutions Furnace,’ although top-grade among Third-grade Pill Furnaces, disappointed him with its inscribed magic patterns.

The ’Five Elements Nine Revolutions Furnace’ could accommodate the use of most Spiritual Fires, but it struggled when encountering higher-level Nanming Leaving Fire.

He carefully controlled the Nanming Leaving Fire and began refining Second Grade Spirit Pills in the ’Five Elements Nine Revolutions Furnace.’

The reason he started with Second Grade Spirit Pills was because he was still in the practice phase, and Third-grade Spirit Pills were too wasteful.

Indeed, although Silver Corpse Nanming’s ability to control Nanming Leaving Fire had improved quite a bit, using Nanming Leaving Fire for alchemy was still insufficient.

The Second Grade Spirit Medicine in the ’Five Elements Nine Revolutions Furnace’ turned to ashes, but Li Shiming was not disappointed. He cleaned the inside of the ’Five Elements Nine Revolutions Furnace’ and started to place another portion of Second Grade Spirit Medicine inside.

What he was doing currently was allowing his life-bound magic weapon IBMz15 to collect data. With enough data, the IBMz15 could make targeted plans.

The materials for Second Grade Spirit Pills were almost inconsequential in value to Li Shiming, allowing him to use them liberally.

Repeated failures, if known by the cultivators outside, would surely astonish them.

Master Li, who had never previously failed, was even failing to refine Second Grade Spirit Pills.

However, what Li Shiming was doing was akin to roasting a chicken at thousands of degrees higher than needed; roasting a chicken is easy, but doing so with such excessive heat turns it into an impossible task.

Were it not for his life-bound magic weapon IBMz15, he would not have proceeded in this manner.

Sensing the data collected by IBMz15, Li Shiming stopped Silver Corpse Nanming’s actions. This session’s data collection was complete, and he would wait for the analysis by IBMz15 to see if more data collection was necessary.

Li Shiming had an ambition to refine Fourth-grade Spirit Pills at the Golden Core Middle Stage.

Without Nanming Leaving Fire, such an idea would be unattainable, but with Nanming Leaving Fire, all he needed to do was keep practicing its control. Once he reached a suitable level of control over Nanming Leaving Fire, he had confidence in refining Fourth-grade Spirit Pills during the Golden Core Middle Stage.

Additionally, during this process, the combat power of Silver Corpse Nanming would also greatly enhance. Nanming Leaving Fire, once externalized, could affect not only alchemy but was also critically important in combat.

Li Shiming put away the ’Five Elements Nine Revolutions Furnace,’ and he also sent Silver Corpse Nanming into the Corpse Refining space, which was the best environment for its cultivation.

He left the task of designing the new Pill Furnace to his life-bound magic weapon IBMz15. Once IBMz15 completed the design, he could then begin considering the appropriate Artifact Refining materials.
