Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1320: Chapter 706: Cultivation (Part 2)

In fact, the Treasure Pavilion itself holds considerable value. Although it is not a magical treasure, it houses an auxiliary artifact spirit. This spirit may not possess high wisdom, but as long as the requirements are given, it will manage the Treasure Pavilion accordingly.

Originally, the Treasure Pavilion was managed by the artifact spirit of the Yimu Cave Heaven. The artifact spirit of the Pavilion itself only played a supplementary role.

However, he discovered that when the Treasure Pavilion was originally crafted, it didn’t take into account the presence of a Cave Heaven Artifact Spirit; its own artifact spirit could handle management tasks effectively.

Additionally, apart from the Fourth Grade Top Material that piqued his interest, there were numerous other Fourth Grade resources in the Pavilion.

Since this Treasure Pavilion is targeted at Nascent Soul cultivators, it naturally stores Fourth Grade resources. The Fuliu Sect boasts hundreds of Nascent Soul cultivators who draw resources from the Treasure Pavilion, so one can imagine the vastness of its inventory.

The accumulated resources of Fuliu Sect over the years are also included. Although there will be no further replenishment in the future, for Li Shiming, it is sufficient to cultivate his own power.

He shook his head, currently having no plans to cultivate a power; he is still being hunted, not having the time or capacity to build a power.

He glanced at the Book Collection Pavilion, which, like the Treasure Pavilion, also contains a separate hidden space.

Inside are higher-grade books and many that Li Shiming had never read, significantly expanding his knowledge.

The database of his natal magic treasure, the IBMz15, also vastly increases his knowledge reserve.

He does not intend to cultivate any more techniques; he is currently cultivating ’Ganlu Divine Water’ and ’Innate Wood’ divine skills, waiting for the accumulation of these skills before formally cultivating the ’Heavenly Human Technique’.

In his view, none of these so-called top cultivation techniques compare to the ’Heavenly Human Technique’.

He placed the Treasure Pavilion and Book Collection Pavilion in the ’Heavenly Human Dao’ main hall. No matter how odd it seems, having two buildings in one hall, he doesn’t command much of the space within this Grotto Heaven.

Everything will wait until after he cultivates the ’Heavenly Human Technique’. Only then can he truly control this Grotto Heaven.

Li Shiming’s figure flickered, exiting Zhai Ge’s Grotto Heaven, and he entered another small Grotto Heaven.

This is the Half-Life Cave Heaven. Although its size can’t compare to the ’Heavenly Human Dao’ main hall, he is its true master here, with the ability to control everything.

Currently, the Half-Life Cave Heaven, having undergone transformation by the ’Esir Dust’, is filled with Earth spiritual energy.

He bent down, touching the ground’s soil to feel the spirit and Spiritual Energy within it.

This is probably one form of the ’Esir Dust’. The original volume of ’Esir Dust’ was not large. In terms of cultivating spirit plants on its body, it’s almost impossible for even a root to establish.

The previous fusion of ’Esir Dust’ with the soil was short, and he hadn’t sensed much.

Now, after some time, the soil transformed by ’Esir Dust’ possesses an spirit that ordinary spirit soil lacks. He thus considers this the planting form of ’Esir Dust’.

He isn’t sure about the maximum range for ’Esir Dust’ fusion. Nevertheless, the Half-Life Cave Heaven was completely fused, small with only a hundred-meter radius.

With a thought, Li Shiming took out the Divine Tree from the Yimu Cave Heaven.

When extracting the Divine Tree, he contemplated how to place it.

The Divine Tree is tremendously mystical and serves as the Yimu Cave Heaven’s core, certainly harboring unknown special properties.

He doesn’t wish for the Divine Tree to perish, wanting to utilize it to the utmost.

He had earlier acquired ’Esir Dust’, hailed as the divine object that can nurture all spirit plants.

No matter how high the cultivation needs of the Divine Tree, ’Esir Dust’ should be able to satisfy them.

The Divine Tree had been stored in the soul crystal ring for a period, and he could feel its vitality diminish somewhat. Though it wasn’t apparent externally, he was sure about it.

He placed the Divine Tree on the ground, thinking of digging a hole for it. Just then, the soil beneath the tree split automatically, and the tree slowly descended.

The roots of the Divine Tree were covered by the soil, spreading enthusiastically in all directions, as if alive.

At the same time, Li Shiming sensed a trace of Wood Spiritual Energy in the Half-Life Cave Heaven, emitted from the Divine Tree.

When the Divine Tree took root in the Half-Life Cave Heaven, Li Shiming found, inexplicably, that a new spirit had emerged within the Cave Heaven.

This was somewhat akin to the spirit of ’Esir Dust’, and he named the spirit within this divine object’s artifact spirit as Ling.

An artifact spirit refers to the intelligence and spirituality within artifacts, but ’Esir Dust’ is a natural spiritual object, so it cannot be considered an artifact. Therefore, he refers to its wisdom as spirit.

The Divine Tree is also a natural spiritual object with similar wisdom, albeit more powerful, even surpassing the artifact spirits of several of his magical treasures.

Fortunately, though the Divine Tree’s spirit is highly intelligent, it clearly recognizes Li Shiming as its master, while he also noticed a increased vitality in the Half-Life Cave Heaven.

What Li Shiming didn’t know was that the Divine Tree is not only Yimu Cave Heaven’s core but also its artifact spirit.

When he extracted the Divine Tree from the Yimu Cave Heaven, leaving it behind, the Divine Tree lost its master.

Given the Divine Tree’s grade, it’s not that Li Shiming, a mere Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner, even a Great Cultivator, has the qualifications to form a master-disciple bond with it.

Yet, when he planted the Divine Tree within the Half-Life Cave Heaven, he, being the master of this Cave Heaven, with the Divine Tree recognizing the favorable environment with the presence of ’Esir Dust’, caused it to become integrated into the Cave Heaven.

Therefore, even if the Divine Tree didn’t wish to, it automatically formed a master bond with Li Shiming.

Unfortunately, despite the Divine Tree’s spirit’s high wisdom, its intelligence mainly manifests in managing the Cave Heaven, whereas the Half-Life Cave Heaven is just a small hundred-meter-radius space.

The spiritual objects within the space are limited to the Divine Tree and the ’Esir Dust’ beneath it, so no matter how wise the Divine Tree’s spirit is, it cannot fully demonstrate its value.

Li Shiming to date doesn’t realize the extent of his achievement; he acts simply on his own ideas.

He joyfully observes the Half-Life Cave Heaven transforming in his hands, initially lacking complete rules, many of which were still partly developed.

Now, the Earth rules within the Half-Life Cave Heaven are nearing completion, and the Wood rules are continuously advancing; their full realization is merely a matter of time.

He still doesn’t intend to cultivate within the Half-Life Cave Heaven, opting only to periodically observe the evolving rules.

The greatest advantage of the Half-Life Cave Heaven lies in its rules not being concealed like in other Cave Heavens. As long as he perceives them, he can clearly sense all the rules.

This provides the best teaching model for his studies of the rules.

Of course, given his current realm, it’s premature for him to delve into rule studies. Moreover, his clear perception of rules is only possible within the Half-Life Cave Heaven.

”Alas, the Five Elements Spiritual Energy is still incomplete!” he lamented, shaking his head, after sensing the spiritual energy within the Half-Life Cave Heaven.

The spiritual energy here is dense, but being predominantly Earth spiritual energy, even with the change brought by the Divine Tree, it only increased Wood spiritual energy.

He cultivates using the ’Five Rhythms Qi Cultivation Technique’, and in the future ’The Way of Heaven and Man’, both requiring the absorption of Five Elements Spiritual Energy, yet the current conditions are insufficient for his cultivation.

He sometimes wonders if he might find other Five Elements Divine Objects to place within the Half-Life Cave Heaven.

But it remains a mere thought, for just because he obtained two divine objects, Earth and Wood, doesn’t mean acquiring divine objects is an easy task; it requires destiny.

Consider the previous master, Half-step Mahayana cultivator Qiu Hengyi—if he had acquired ’Esir Dust’ or the Divine Tree, how would the Half-Life Cave Heaven have remained as it was?
