Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 759: Chapter 426 Inventory

Li Shiming shook his somewhat dizzy head; he was now in real space. The sun in the sky, the valley he was in, as well as the images transmitted from the drone satellite system, all confirmed his location.

He glanced at the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan he was holding in his hand, finally certain that he had truly obtained a Fourth-Grade Magical Treasure he could control.

Of course, ”control” merely meant using the internal space of the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan to plant Spiritual Medicines, and not for attacking purposes.

The consumption of the internal space was provided by a Spiritual Power Pattern sealed within the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan.

But if he were to use the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan for attacks, he would need to supply Spiritual Power to this high-grade treasure himself. Even if he poured all the Spiritual Power from his five Golden Cores into it, it wouldn’t be enough for even one swing of the fan.

Li Shiming didn’t feel any pity; on the contrary, he revealed a satisfied smile.

Merely the fact that it produced sixteen Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicines once every thirty years was an immense stroke of luck.

Not to mention that the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan could also continuously produce Third-Grade Spiritual Medicines every year. Even if he no longer practiced Alchemy, the fan alone could support his cultivation needs.

Originally trapped in space, lacking Alchemy’s aid from Spiritual Medicines, now outside he could fully utilize the Third-Grade Spiritual Medicines from the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan.

Li Shiming stored the Mountain and River Qiankun Fan in the secret space of his mobile vehicle. Such a treasure absolutely must not be known to any Cultivator, and even the Third-Grade Spiritual Medicines produced by the fan, he would try to take them out as little as possible.

He had always been so cautious in this regard, holding on to many Spirit Pills that he would rather let rot in his hands than sell casually.

The annual output of Third-Grade Spiritual Medicines on the Beishu Continent was limited. If the number of Third-Grade Spiritual Medicines or Spirit Pills significantly exceeded the output, it would inevitably attract the attention of the six major sects and various forces.

Li Shiming then checked the arrangement within the valley. He dismantled the original setup, leaving no trace, before heading back to the Shushan Sect.

Upon returning to the sect and entering his Cultivation Room, he took out Great Elder Sun Ao’s Mustard Seed Ring.

With Great Elder Sun Ao dead and no longer bearing a spirit imprint’s seal, his Divine Thought easily entered it.

The first thing he sought within was the Turtle Shell piece he had learned about from Sun Ao’s inner thoughts.

His Divine Thought located the Turtle Shell that matched the description in Sun Ao’s thoughts. Had he not known it was extraordinary beforehand, even with his Divine Thought, he wouldn’t have detected anything special about it.

Divine objects conceal themselves. This Turtle Shell was a small piece from the legendary Taiqing Xuan Turtle, it had fallen off for some reason and was acquired by a powerful being.

The powerful being used this small piece to pass on the ”Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique”. After endless years, this piece eventually fell into the hands of Skywalk Trading Company and was given to Great Elder Sun Ao for his use.

Had an unaware Cultivator obtained this small piece, they might have only regarded it as a hard fragment, never imagining that it was the legacy item of the top-tier Body Refining Technique, the ”Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique”.

The reason why Great Elder Sun Ao could keep this legacy item, unlike other Grand Elders who no longer had contact with legacy items after learning the Techniques, was due to the specialty of the ”Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique”. To cultivate it, one needed to constantly feel the aura of the Taiqing Xuan Turtle from this fragment.

Only when the cultivator could condense the true essence and form, could they separate from the Taiqing Xuan Turtle Shell.

Even though Great Elder Sun Ao reached the status of a Body Refining Grand Elder, he was still a distance away from condensing the true essence and form. Coming to the relatively humble Beishu Continent this time, with Nascent Soul Middle Stage Elder Jin Kai leading, there should not have been the slightest problem with safety.

Li Shiming continuously tried to enter the Taiqing Xuan Turtle Shell with his Divine Thought. With the help of his ”Spirit Eye Vision” and his natal magical treasure IBMz15, it took him roughly four hours to finally allow his Divine Thought to enter the Taiqing Xuan Turtle Shell.

There was a layer of prohibition outside the Taiqing Xuan Turtle Shell. Prohibitions of this kind would usually require at least a Nascent Soul Ancestor to cast and were somewhat advanced for Li Shiming.

Luckily, since the Taiqing Xuan Turtle Shell was in his hands, enabling him to study it freely, and his natal magical treasure IBMz15 was adept at a vast amount of analytic computations, he managed to break through the prohibition.

Once inside the Taiqing Xuan Turtle Shell, he sensed the entire content of the ”Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique”.

The ”Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique” was a Body Refining Technique that reached to the Divinity Transformation Stage, placing it on the same level as the ”Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique” and the ”Five Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique”.

What excited Li Shiming more was that inside the Taiqing Xuan Turtle Shell, there weren’t only the full contents of the ”Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique”, but also a wealth of cultivation insights and experiences.

From these insights, he realized the importance of the Taiqing Xuan Turtle Shell.

Without it, even if one obtained the entire ”Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique”, it would be useless.

He was inwardly surprised; fortunately, when he took action to slay Great Elder Sun Ao, he hadn’t left the slightest clue. It seemed likely that Skywalk Trading Company did not know that the Taiqing Xuan Turtle Shell had fallen into his hands.

Especially since after obtaining the Taiqing Xuan Turtle Shell, he never took it out in public.

He had only returned to his own cave dwelling and took it out in the Cultivation Room for inspection.

Not to be self-aggrandizing, but while his dwelling might not be impenetrable, it was certainly capable of obstructing various types of connections.
