Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 798: Chapter 445: Reward (Part 2)

”Is this the Asura? Isn’t this the legendary monster?” He looked at the three-headed six-armed monster, guessing what it was.

He had researched the three-headed six-armed form before, but that study was based on the legendary figure of Nezha, not the Asura.

At that time, to research a reasonable three-headed six-armed form, he had referenced a lot of medical literature.

He never expected to see a real three-headed six-armed form today, and he had the urge to capture one for research.

He wanted to see if the skeletal and muscular structure of the three-headed six-armed Asura was the same as his modified three-headed six-armed Silver Corpse. Maybe he could even find a way to improve it.

This was just a thought. Whether this was the real Asura or not, its appearance in this space was due to the doing of Great Power Zhai Ge.

With the realm of Great Power Zhai Ge, even if it wasn’t the real Asura, its combat power wouldn’t be weak.

He tested the conditions of this space again and found that flying was not a problem, but he still couldn’t use the Divine Foot Skill.

He already tested his eyesight, which was hardly different from the outside world.

It can be said that the suppression on cultivators in this space was much less, which suggests that dealing with the outside Asura might not be so easy.

Li Shiming didn’t go out immediately and instead checked the reward he had just received.

In his hand was a jade bottle. The quality of the jade bottle was fourth grade, and the bottle alone was of immense value.

His Divine Thought touched the jade bottle, and a piece of information was transmitted from it.

The information told him what was inside the jade bottle and how to use it.

Inside the jade bottle was a drop of blood from a Body Refining Great Power, which in cultivators was a Mahayana cultivator, and in spirit beasts, it was a fifth-grade. A Body Refining Great Power was one specialized in body refinement.

A drop of blood from such an existence was almost equivalent to a fifth-grade resource.

The drop of blood in Li Shiming’s hand was slightly inferior to fifth-grade resources because it was a drop of Body Refining Great Power’s blood that had lost most of its energy.

This wasn’t due to improper storage but because it lost most of its energy when it was first collected into the fourth-grade jade bottle; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been used as a reward here.

But this doesn’t mean that this drop of Body Refining Great Power’s blood isn’t precious. On the contrary, it is precisely due to the loss of most energy that makes it easier for cultivators to absorb.

This drop of Body Refining Great Power’s blood acts to greatly enhance the physique of Nascent Soul cultivators, and if used to cultivate Body Refining Techniques, it can significantly enhance those techniques.

Most importantly, this drop of Body Refining Great Power’s blood can to some extent improve the function of a Taoist Body.

Li Shiming looked at the fourth-grade jade bottle, and his eyes couldn’t help but light up.

If it weren’t for the information from the fourth-grade jade bottle indicating it required the Nascent Soul Stage to use, he would have wanted to swallow it on the spot.

For assisting in Body Refining Techniques, fourth-grade Body Refining resources could substitute, but improving the Taoist Body was different as it was an enhancement to a cultivator’s Dao foundation.

Just like Li Shiming, the reason he could cultivate so quickly was because he took a shortcut.

His real spirit root was very poor, being a three spirit root, and in the cultivation world, a three spirit root found it hard to even advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage, let alone the Golden Core Stage.

When he was cultivating, he accidentally created the ’Five Elements Qi Absorption Array’ in the Spirit Lake. From then on, the ’Five Elements Qi Absorption Array’ greatly accelerated his cultivation speed.

Li Shiming had a clear understanding of his talent; he and his avatar Li Yuanba had different spirit root seeds, one being a three-spirit root, the other a Heavenly Spirit Root.

Without relying on other means, his cultivation speed would not be as fast as that of his avatar Li Yuanba.

Look, he’s just in the Golden Core Middle Stage now, while Li Yuanba has already reached the Late-stage Golden Core. Of course, various opportunities influenced this, but the best resources were used on him.

Like the Nascent Soul Level Spirit Vein and top-tier Spirit Pills, even with these, his main body’s cultivation speed was still slower than the avatar’s.

This is the gap between a three spirit root and a Heavenly Spirit Root, and the drop of Body Refining Great Power’s blood in his hand is the spiritual object to enhance his foundation.

In fact, Li Shiming underestimated this drop of Body Refining Great Power’s blood. Any who could become a Nascent Soul Ancestor was an exceptionally talented existence.

This drop of Body Refining Great Power’s blood has a significant effect on the Taoist Body of a Nascent Soul Ancestor, greatly increasing the possibility of breaking through to the Mahayana Realm. This is the main function of the drop of Body Refining Great Power’s blood.

Li Shiming put away the fourth-grade jade bottle, placing it in the machine space.

He looked into the distance, thought for a while, and summoned the Heavenly Ghost.

The Heavenly Ghost enveloped his body, and the aura of the Heavenly Ghost was very close to that of this space. He wanted to test if he could use the Heavenly Ghost to blend in and pass through.

This time he was extremely careful, first probing his way out of the entrance area, gradually approaching the two Asuras.

’Divine Vision’ stared at the two Asuras, ready to fly back to the entrance area at the slightest sign of their movement.

A strange thing happened. Shortly after the Heavenly Ghost enveloped his body, the drumming ceased, and the two Asuras put down their bones, standing motionless.

”Fake?” Li Shiming thought to himself upon seeing this situation.

He didn’t dare to fly too close, as the Asuras’ three heads and six pairs of eyes had no blind spots. No matter which direction he flew from, he couldn’t escape their line of sight.

Yet, even though he was not invisible, the Heavenly Ghost’s aura masked his own, causing the Asuras to treat him like air.

He wasn’t sure if this was an issue with the Asura itself or if it was a strand of hope intentionally left by Great Power Zhai Ge.

But it was clear that he was quite lucky to have found a way through.

This time, since the Asuras on the way were all still and he could fly, he advanced much faster.

He couldn’t sense the power level of the Asuras, as their realm wasn’t the same as that of the cultivation world, just like the Heavenly Demons back in the day.

The Heavenly Demons even appeared extremely weak, but they could drag Nascent Soul Stage or even Mahayana cultivators into the endless abyss.

He hadn’t witnessed the Asuras in battle, and he had no interest in taking on an Asura at his current Golden Core Middle Stage level.

Li Shiming flew while considering when the Nascent Soul Ancestors would catch up to him.

At that time, the Nascent Soul Ancestors’ team was still progressing through the Hunger Ghost Path at a slow pace.

It’s not that their moving speed was slow, but after mastering a method to deal with the Golden Corpses, their progress speed increased significantly.

However, their need for rest increased as well; during each rest, they had to absorb the Spiritual Energy from the Nascent Soul Level Spirit Vein to replenish their consumption.

Each rest took four hours, which ironically made their progress slower than before.

Nevertheless, they had considerable gains; the Golden Corpses became their resources, and the corpse cores were distributed among them, no longer monopolized by Ancestor Lu.

With their current speed, who knows how long it would take to reach the ’Hunger Ghost Path’ palace, but they dared not quicken their pace.

Despite finding a way to deal with the Golden Corpses, any moment of carelessness would result in significant losses.

Ancestor Ren Xun was a prime example; even after so long, Ancestor Ren Xun hadn’t regained his combat abilities.

His situation wouldn’t improve without decades of seclusion.

Li Shiming continued flying in the Asura Space, and after discovering that the Heavenly Ghost’s aura could mask his own, his courage grew significantly.

He constantly observed the ground situation, finding that all the Asuras along the way were the same, with no stronger beings present.

”Huh!” While flying, he noticed a giant drum below but didn’t find any Asuras around.

This discovery surprised him, as it was the first time encountering this on his journey.

He was curious about the giant drum, knowing that when the Asura struck the drum, even if he was in the safety area of the entrance, he would be affected by the drum sound.

Such a situation for anyone else might lead to getting driven out of the entrance’s safe zone and challenging the Asuras.
