Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 984: Chapter 538: Departure (Part 2)

After the idea of creating a magical cloak took shape in his mind, his Natal Magical Treasure, the IBMz15, continuously analyzed the skin of the Fourth Grade Chameleon, and soon enough, it provided a design blueprint for the magical treasure.

Every detail was considered, maximizing the effect of the Fourth Grade Chameleon’s skin.

Although it was Li Shiming’s first time crafting an auxiliary magic treasure with such a special function, with the help of his Natal Magical Treasure IBMz15 and his 5-nanometer control in his chamber space, these factors gave him a great advantage over other cultivators in artifact refining.

This time, it didn’t take long for him to refine the artifact. He didn’t intend for this magical cloak to have strong defensive power, as it was just an auxiliary magic treasure.

He used the most traditional artifact refining technique, and after just one day, he had completed the magical cloak.

This was an extremely peculiar magical cloak. When worn, it appeared ordinary, but when he lowered the hood, he could control the cloak to transform himself into various forms, including an invisible form.

This magic treasure, named the Chameleon Cloak, was probably the lowest quality Fourth-Grade Magical Treasure he had ever crafted.

From early-stage fourth-grade materials, he crafted a magical treasure of fourth-grade high-stage. This leap in grade was entirely due to the exquisite design and flawless workmanship, enabling the Chameleon Cloak to reach the fourth-grade high-stage.

Three Dao Rhythms appeared on the Chameleon Cloak as it formed, marking it as a fourth-grade high-stage item, and it fully harnessed the runes inherent in the materials.

It could even be said that in terms of transformation and invisibility, this Chameleon Cloak surpassed the Fourth Grade Chameleon itself.

Li Shiming put away the formation and saw Lu Heng sitting nearby, waiting for him.

”Senior Brother, you finally emerged!” Lu Heng exclaimed as he placed a storage bag in front of him.

Lu Heng had a tough day. After receiving Li Shiming’s task, he began to register.

Initially, it was fine, just some Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners on the sect’s flying boat learning that Master Li was willing to take on alchemy tasks here.

However, it wasn’t long before some Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners who were in combat heard the news. They fought here precisely for Fourth Grade Demon Pills, which they needed to request alchemy from the Alchemy Master.

Currently, in the sect, the highest level of an Alchemy Master was undoubtedly Master Li, acknowledged by many Nascent Soul cultivators.

No one had ever heard of Master Li failing in alchemy; it was always stable, reaching a surprising quality of Fourth-grade Mid-stage.

While lacking surprises, no Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioner was willing to risk the very low chance to aim for that sliver of fourth-grade high-stage by choosing other Alchemy Masters, not to mention that the other three Alchemy Masters were also not easy to arrange.

Just like that, in just a single day, the number of Fourth Grade Demon Pills in Lu Heng’s hands kept increasing.

There were so many that he didn’t dare leave the sect’s flying boat, fearing that he might be robbed and would never be able to repay it in his lifetime.

”Junior Brother Lu went through a lot of trouble, thank you, Junior Brother Lu!” Li Shiming thanked him after putting away the storage bag.

He was surprised at the number of Fourth Grade Demon Pills in the storage bag, but they came just in time. Refining so many Nascent Soul Early Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pills simultaneously was sure to earn him quite a few Fourth Grade Top-Grade Spirit Pills.

Even Fourth Grade High-level Spirit Pills were what he needed for cultivation.

At present, both he and Venerable Huijing needed Nascent Soul Early Stage Fourth Grade High-level Spirit Pills, and once his incarnation Li Yuanba advanced, there would be an additional consumption of these pills.

Although he had accumulated many Nascent Soul Early Stage Fourth Grade High-level Spirit Pills, the Nascent Soul Early Stage period of cultivation was incredibly long, and the demand for Nascent Soul Early Stage Fourth Grade High-level Spirit Pills was enormous.

Why did the sect’s Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators trust Li Shiming? Not just because he was an Alchemy Master, but also because he had Grandmaster Hu as a mentor. With Grandmaster Hu as a backer, they were very comfortable handing their Fourth Grade Demon Pills to Li Shiming.

Li Shiming bid farewell to Lu Heng. This time, Lu Heng didn’t try to dissuade him. He also knew the formidable nature of Li Shiming’s Golden Corpse Black Shield; unless he encountered a mid-to-late fourth-grade spirit beast, he wouldn’t be in any danger.

After leaving the sect’s flying boat, Li Shiming’s figure flew towards the spirit beasts. When he approached the spirit beast tide, his body transformed into a chameleon.

Not only did his appearance look like one, but the aura on his body was also indistinguishable from that of a Fourth Grade Chameleon.

This allowed him to enter the spirit beast tide without being attacked by any spirit beasts.

He was very satisfied with the defensive effect of the Chameleon Cloak, but the transformation effect was remarkable; even the spirit beasts couldn’t detect any abnormalities, let alone human cultivators.

His actions didn’t attract much attention from the Nascent Soul cultivators. The Ten Thousand Beast Sect was teeming with talent, and some Nascent Soul cultivators used special techniques to infiltrate the spirit beast tide, similar to those skilled in ambushing spirit beasts, lurking among them to attack powerful spirit beasts.

Li Shiming employed the technique ’Dimensions Within Reach,’ and with the help of the Chameleon Cloak, other cultivators and spirit beasts couldn’t detect his peculiar way of moving.

The spirit beast tide wasn’t very dense, and as he delved in the opposite direction, he found the spirit beast tide became looser further back.

It seemed like these spirit beasts were drawn by something, continuously approaching the continent, and once they gathered, their rationality would be influenced by the tide, driving them mad.

This foiled his plan to trace the spirit beast tide to potentially discover a Grotto Heaven. On reflection, it made sense; if it were that easy to find the Grotto Heaven, the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect would have long discovered it.

He didn’t mind much, as he was just out for some relaxation; not finding the origin of the spirit beasts, he wandered the seas.

”Oh!” Li Shiming, with his ’Divine Eyes,’ could observe far-off things up to three thousand miles away, and he noticed a large flying boat approaching.

He recognized it as the Skywalk Trading Company’s flying boat. The Skywalk Trading Company held a decent power on the Dongqi Continent, ranked below the major sects, and slightly superior to ordinary medium-sized sects.

Of course, the Skywalk Trading Company’s greatest strength wasn’t in their combat abilities but in their business operations.

With branches in various continents, Skywalk Trading Company possessed a vast network for gathering and selling resources.

Li Shiming hadn’t initially intended to do anything about this large flying boat, but when he saw the cultivators standing on it, an idea struck him.

Perhaps because the large flying boat was nearing the Dongqi Continent, two Nascent Soul cultivators stood on the deck, discussing something.

Among them, one was Jin Kai at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and the other was Ren Xun, at the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

The main reason he dared devise a plan was that Jin Kai’s face was pale like gold paper, indicating severe injuries.

It was unclear whether Jin Kai’s strength was overwhelmed halfway by a powerful spirit beast or if he was seriously injured on the Beishu Continent.

On the deck, Jin Kai noticed a significant increase in the number of spirit beasts ahead and was discussing with Ren Xun.

”Judging by this appearance, there very well could be a spirit beast tide up ahead. Considering the timing, the spirit beast tide likely occurred in recent years!” Ren Xun remarked helplessly.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Fire Element, his combat abilities would be greatly affected on the sea, and he did not want to encounter a spirit beast tide.

This large flying boat contained not only the cultivators from the Skywalk Trading Company but also resources obtained from the Beishu Continent.

While resources from the Beishu Continent were scarce, compelling several major sects to act still allowed them to acquire quite a bit of unique third and fourth-grade resources from the Beishu Continent. These unique third and fourth-grade resources were very sought-after in other continents.

If the flying boat were destroyed by the spirit beasts, it would be a huge loss for the Skywalk Trading Company.

”Move the flying boat closer to the continent and report to the company immediately, getting them to send people to pick us up!” Jin Kai ordered sternly.
