Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 915: Chapter 504: Rendezvous

On the second day in Green Field Cave Heaven, Li Shiming harvested six stalks of Spiritual Medicine, seven on the third day, and five on the fourth day.

Perhaps it was luck; in four days, he had not encountered any other Golden Core cultivators.

Of course, he did encounter something—a corpse of a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator, unknown who killed them, with their Space Ring gone.

With the level of danger in Green Field Cave Heaven, late-stage Golden Core cultivators are relatively safer. Golden Core middle-stage cultivators, unless equipped with some powerful techniques, couldn’t even handle the spirit beasts guarding the Spiritual Medicine here.

“What a pity!” Li Shiming shook his head and didn’t bother to deal with the corpse of the Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator.

It’s the fifth day, and he’s still searching in line with the Silver Corpse. With experience gained over the past few days, he found it easier to control the Silver Corpse.

One of the Silver Corpses was walking when it suddenly heard fighting sounds ahead.

The grass in Green Field Cave Heaven was so bizarre. Usually, the Spiritual Power Pattern fluctuations from Golden Core cultivators fighting should be detectable from afar.

But in this cave heaven, with the grass isolation, the battle fluctuations couldn’t travel far. Added with grass taller than a person occasionally, which blocked vision, situations could only be discovered when particularly close.

This Silver Corpse, with three heads and six arms, heard the sounds of battle and, under Li Shiming’s control, stealthily approached the fight direction while notifying the Illusion Spirit Jiao.

The Illusion Spirit Jiao provided combat support; with its invisibility, it was especially connected with this Green Field Cave Heaven.

A late-stage Golden Core cultivator was fighting a Third Grade Lizard. To say it was a fight was not accurate; the Golden Core cultivator was deliberately luring the Third Grade Lizard while battling and retreating.

Just when the Third Grade Lizard reached a certain place, he triggered the hidden Array Plate, and the sudden Formation trapped the Third Grade Lizard.

The late-stage Golden Core cultivator smiled triumphantly, ready to collect the Spiritual Medicine, only to see a Silver Corpse.

To Li Shiming’s surprise, the late-stage Golden Core cultivator, upon seeing the Silver Corpse, almost without hesitation, fled, even leaving the Array Plate behind.

Li Shiming was puzzled, not knowing why this late-stage Golden Core cultivator retreated at the sight of a Silver Corpse.

He underestimated his Silver Corpse. His Silver Corpse had a level comparable to a Great Elder, a level only possible to be nurtured by a Great Elder.

There were only three Great Elders entering Green Field Cave Heaven this time, and each was beyond what this late-stage Golden Core cultivator could handle.

One is Wei Long, Great Elder of the Taichu Sect; another is Gong You, Great Elder of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect; the last is the mysterious Li Shiming, Thunder Cultivation Great Elder.

The late-stage Golden Core cultivator was decisive. Since the Silver Corpse was here, its master, a Great Elder, must be nearby.

Just three breaths after he retreated, the grass parted, and the invisible Illusion Spirit Jiao arrived.

Li Shiming, controlling the Silver Corpse, first collected the Third-grade Spiritual Medicine, then went to observe the Array Plate.

It was a Third Grade Array Plate, with activated Formation capable of disrupting Spatial Energy and entrapping enemies. It seemed this Array Plate was specially designed to deal with mid-third grade spirit beasts within the cave heaven.

The activated Formation of the Array Plate couldn’t kill the Third Grade Lizard but was sufficient to trap it for a while.

Most critically, the materials used for this Third Grade Array Plate were not precious at all, making it completely usable as a disposable item.

Li Shiming did not take the Array Plate; the Formation lost its value once understood through the Silver Corpse’s eyes.

He didn’t need to use the Formation to trap the Third Grade Lizard; with Illusion Spirit Jiao’s support, dealing with the Third Grade Lizard was rather easy.

This was the first late-stage Golden Core cultivator who retreated upon seeing the Silver Corpse. In the days that followed, he encountered other Golden Core cultivators more frequently, sometimes twice or thrice a day.

It seemed everyone was searching towards a central point, causing this situation.

Li Shiming didn’t have any encounters where he had to fight Golden Core cultivators. These Golden Core cultivators were extremely cautious. Whether seeing him or the Silver Corpse, they chose to flee.

He didn’t have the intention to pursue them; now was not the time for slaughter.

When the last day arrives, there will naturally be opportunities for battle, and by then, he won’t hold back.

The clone Li Yuanba maintained the ‘Fiery Sun Jade Body Technique’ state, his skin like jade, complementing his handsome appearance, creating a breathtaking beauty when one gazes upon him.

He wasn’t maintaining the ‘Fiery Sun Jade Body Technique’ merely for appearance, but out of necessity.

He was constantly ready to face hidden attacks, not only from spirit beasts but also from Golden Core cultivators.

Especially starting the seventh day, Golden Core cultivators were hiding within the grass, conducting sneak attacks.

“Ssshhh,” the grass parted ahead, and a blade light slashed towards Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba reacted swiftly, making a blocking move, a Third Grade Sword Base appearing in his hand out of thin air, blocking the blade light.

With a “clang”, he felt a powerful force invade his body, involuntarily retreating.

As he was being pushed back, he drove the Xingyi Sword to launch an attack at the owner of the blade light.

The Xingyi Sword, carrying the Supreme Yang Sword Intent, flew towards the enemy just emerging from the grass, only to be blocked by another long blade, causing the Xingyi Sword to ricochet away.

He understood the feelings of those Golden Core cultivators who fled upon seeing Li Shiming; he recognized the enemy attacking him—it was Elder Gong You’s Blade Mantis, a Great Elder-level spirit beast.
