Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 913: Chapter 503: Encounter

Just as the Silver Corpse was advancing with the ginseng in hand, the Third Grade Lizard lunged once again, it seemed this lizard would not rest until death.

This time, the Silver Corpse turned around and kicked out, accurately hitting the body of the Third Grade Lizard in mid-air, sending it flying backward.

The Third Grade Lizard in the air, thanks to its formidable defensive power, was hit several times in succession yet only sustained slight injuries.

For a spirit beast like the Third Grade Lizard with extremely strong vitality, such injuries would only trigger its ferocity, barely affecting its movement.

But this time was different; as the Third Grade Lizard was struck flying in the air, a four-fingered dragon claw appeared in the void, grabbing onto the lizard’s body.

The skin that the Third Grade Lizard prided itself on, capable of withstanding the full force of a Silver Corpse attack, was torn into two along with its body by this claw.

The blood of the Third Grade Lizard sprayed out, revealing the faint silhouette of the Illusion Spirit Jiao in the void.

The blood didn’t linger long on the Illusion Spirit Jiao’s body, as its scales couldn’t hold the blood, and once deflected off, its body returned to its invisible state.

The Silver Corpse sent the ginseng forward, and it was caught by the Illusion Spirit Jiao.

Due to the Illusion Spirit Jiao being invisible, the ginseng eerily seemed to float as it drifted towards Li Shiming.

It was fortunate that no other cultivators were nearby to witness the events occurring here.

The Third Grade Lizard’s attack was indeed sudden, relying on the cloaking effect of the grass to launch its surprise assault, but when it comes to ambush, the Illusion Spirit Jiao is the true assassin.

Li Shiming didn’t know how Green Field Cave Heaven modified this Third Grade Lizard, but regardless of modification, it couldn’t compare with the bloodline-rich Illusion Spirit Jiao of the Dragon Clan.

He treated the Illusion Spirit Jiao as mobile support; whenever the Silver Corpse found resources, the Jiao would come to assist.

The Illusion Spirit Jiao was extremely fast, and coupled with its invisibility, wouldn’t alarm spirit beasts guarding spiritual medicine, able to achieve a guaranteed kill, and could deliver collected resources back to Li Shiming.

Li Shiming accepted the Third Grade Ginseng brought back by the Illusion Spirit Jiao, the ginseng appeared quite ordinary, not much different from that of the mortal world.

However, in the environment of Green Field Cave Heaven, this ginseng had grown to the third grade, and its internal special energy made it even more precious.

He took a jade box and placed the Third Grade Ginseng inside it, the jade box was specially made to preserve spiritual medicine, allowing the Third Grade Ginseng to not lose any energy over a long period.

This was an auspicious start, indicating that resources within Green Field Cave Heaven were not scarce.

Continuing the search, every two or three hours, there would be yields.

With the assistance of the Illusion Spirit Jiao, the harvesting work was very smooth.

By the end of the first day, he had collected five Third-grade Spiritual Medicines, all possessing special inner energy.

On Li Yuanba’s side, whether due to bad luck or not, only one Third Grade Spiritual Medicine was collected.

Actually, this was also normal, as Li Shiming had utilized twelve Silver Corpses along with his own action, the scope of his search was exponentially larger than Li Yuanba’s, so having a harvest several times greater was not surprising.

On the first day, he did not encounter any other Golden Core cultivators, indicating that the space within Green Field Cave Heaven was indeed vast.

However, as the search area expanded, the chances of encounter increased.

The first encounter with a cultivator was not by Li Shiming or his Silver Corpses, but by the lone Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba maintained ’Divine Perception’ and ’Telepathy’, although he cultivated the ’Human Dao Reincarnation Technique’, placing his Spirit at the forefront among Golden Core cultivators in Beishu Continent, he lacked significant advantage among great sect cultivators of Dongqi Continent.

This made his ’Telepathy’ ineffective, predominantly reliant on ’Divine Perception’.

But within Green Field Cave Heaven, occasionally there would be grass taller than a person, greatly affecting the effectiveness of ’Divine Perception’.

As Li Yuanba advanced cautiously, just after passing through a particularly tall grass, his figure suddenly shifted back, simultaneously shooting out the Xingyi Sword.

The Golden Core cultivator on the other side was equally surprised, not expecting to meet another Golden Core cultivator among grass taller than a person, he too reacted by retreating.

While retreating, he waved his hand forward, sending a cloud of black mist towards Li Yuanba.

The Xingyi Sword clashed with the black mist in mid-air, the Supreme Yang Sword Intent shone brightly like the sun, dispersing the black mist instantly.

”Lai Li!” Li Yuanba recognized the opponent; it was Lai Li, still alive from the Sun Concealing Sect.

Seeing Li Yuanba, Lai Li’s face showed a look of confusion.

After being driven away, he didn’t go far, staying nearby, waiting for Green Field Cave Heaven to open, he was also transported inside when it opened.

Being the last to enter, he had seen all incoming Golden Core cultivators to the cave heaven, and Li Yuanba was not among them.

Li Yuanba’s face was indeed too distinctive; once seen, it couldn’t be forgotten.

Though not the time to consider such matters, Lai Li was fully aware of the implications of such encounters in this place.

”How did I come across a Sword Cultivator!” Lai Li still harbored some apprehension towards Li Yuanba’s strength.

The poison attack he had just executed, that dose of poison could affect even the Great Elder if touched.

Yet the opponent’s Sword Intent seemed innately to suppress poison, leaving the toxins no chance to unleash their effect before being utterly dispersed.

This kind of Sword Intent reminded him of Li Shiming’s Heavenly Thunder, although different from a spell, the effect was highly similar, providing strong restraint against devil cultivators.
