Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1590: Chapter 841: Forming the Nascent Soul (2)

Li Shiming saw the cultivators approaching and waved his hand to let the five late-stage Golden Corpses return, as there was no longer a need for protection.

”Congratulations, my lord, Yin Fairy has embarked on the path to Nascent Soul. From now on, may your love deepen and accompany you on the immortal journey!” Patriarch Ge stepped forward, bowed, and congratulated.

She dared not refer to Yin Shilan as a disciple. Although there was a mentor-disciple relationship, the indifference over a hundred years had long erased that bond.

Moreover, Yin Shilan’s status in the Beishu Sect, though not explicitly defined, was universally recognized as second only to Li Shiming.

”Lan’er has successfully formed a Nascent Soul today, it’s a time for celebration, all Beishu Sect cultivators will be rewarded with a year’s worth of corresponding contribution points!” Li Shiming said, waving his hand with great joy after hearing Patriarch Ge’s congratulations.

There was no official stipend in the Beishu Sect, but according to the rules of the Cultivation World, there was a set of compensation systems for offerings.

Each year, offerings only needed to complete a minimum task to receive the base contribution points.

The corresponding base contribution points for offerings that Li Shiming rewarded were the contribution points equivalent to a year’s worth for all Beishu Sect cultivators based on their status.

This was no small number. After the merger of the seven sects, the number of cultivators in the Beishu Sect had reached an astonishing number.

However, Li Shiming did not mind. The expenditure was insignificant for him, especially after Beishu Sect formed an alliance with the Ten Thousand Beast Sect; a few more transactions would offset this reward.

”Shiming, on behalf of the sect cultivators, I thank you!” Sect Master Su said with a smile.

Throughout the Beishu Sect, only Sect Master Su, who was Li Shiming’s master, could address him this way.

Since becoming the Sect Master of Beishu Sect, Li Shiming was pleasantly surprised to find Sect Master Su’s spirit rejuvenated. In such a state, perhaps Sect Master Su could live a few more years, maybe even beyond his term as sect master.

He originally had some concerns that his master’s health might be affected by taking on the sect master’s position.

Seeing Sect Master Su’s current condition, he decided not to inquire further. It was clear that the sect master position suited his master well.

As Li Shiming’s announcement spread, cheers echoed throughout the sect.

Li Shiming saw that Yin Shilan’s heavenly rewards had ended, nodded to the cultivators, and walked over to Yin Shilan’s side.

”I can finally stay by your side!” Yin Shilan said the first thing upon seeing Li Shiming, filled with happiness.

Perhaps the greatest blessing of advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage for her was this, to accompany Li Shiming for a long time.

”I’ve seen vast oceans, towering peaks, sunrises above the sea of clouds, colorful fish in the sea, undefeated blossoms, and the wonders of the world. I wish to share them with you, and I’ll take you to see the worlds I’ve seen!” Li Shiming said affectionately.

Li Shiming held out his hand, and Yin Shilan placed her hand in his, their hands clasping together.

Though they spoke no words, both shared the same desire: from now on, they would never part, and no one in the world could separate them, not even death one day.

Since Yin Shilan had just advanced and was in her weakest state, Li Shiming simply instructed others before taking her back to the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven.

This time, the formations around the Great Power Palace were removed, as Nascent Soul Stage Yin Shilan could now withstand the Spiritual Energy environment here.

”This is my gift to you!” Li Shiming took out a soul crystal ring and handed it to Yin Shilan.

”It’s a Land Turtle Shell!” Upon recognizing the soul crystal ring as her master, Yin Shilan sent her Divine Sense into it. Instead of bothering with the other items, she took out a shield made from a turtle shell, exclaiming joyfully.

This Land Turtle Shell held significant meaning for both of them; Yin Shilan did not expect Li Shiming to still keep it until now.

This magic artifact, crafted in the Early-stage Qi Refining period, was the first artifact the two of them attempted together, blending an Array Plate with a Magic Artifact under Yin Shilan’s guidance to Li Shiming in formation techniques.

Their relationship began with the Land Turtle Shell.

The Land Turtle Shell in Yin Shilan’s hands now had many additional formation patterns.

”Over the years, my study of Formations has deepened, yet I still can’t place a fourth-grade array on the Land Turtle Shell. The highest currently is third-grade. Perhaps as my understanding of the rules deepens, I can transform it into a higher-level Array Plate!” Li Shiming said, looking at the Land Turtle Shell with some regret.

Long ago, he thought of surprising Yin Shilan by transforming the Land Turtle Shell into a remarkable treasure.

After years of study, he considered himself among the few comparable in formation and artifact refinement paths in the Cultivation World.

Yet, with his skills, he couldn’t turn the first-grade Land Turtle Shell into a powerful treasure.

”Shiming, this is my favorite gift!” Yin Shilan said, holding the Land Turtle Shell lovingly, delighted.

In these hundred years, she hadn’t wasted her time. Her formation studies had reached the level of an Array Master.

This allowed her to see the small first-grade Land Turtle Shell’s immense value.

Inscribing a third-grade array on a first-grade Land Turtle Shell and forcibly upgrading its quality to third-grade presented unimaginable challenges.

If she deciphered the formations on the Land Turtle Shell, it would be a significant breakthrough in her formation skills.

Additionally, and most crucially, the effort Li Shiming put into the Land Turtle Shell showed how much he valued it, which was the main reason for Yin Shilan’s joy.

”Look at the other items; I prepared them meticulously!” Li Shiming urged helplessly, not expecting the Land Turtle Shell to be Yin Shilan’s favorite.

Yin Shilan chuckled, sending her Divine Sense back into the soul crystal ring to retrieve a miniaturized flying boat.

”I like this too!” She said with a smile, holding the miniaturized flying boat.

Of course, she liked it, not only because it was a Fourth Grade Upper Stage Flying Boat of immense value but also because its entire body was a verdant green wooden flying boat, reminiscent of the one she rode when they first met.

Regarding this Fourth Grade Upper Stage Flying Boat, Li Shiming had surely intended it this way and undoubtedly put much thought into it.

”There are actually flying boats of better quality, but those ones come with some troubles!” Li Shiming explained casually, seeing her joy.

Yin Shilan said nothing, but she had heard the risks Li Shiming faced.

No matter how uninformed about the Cultivation World she might be, she understood the vast difference between a top-level fourth-grade magical treasure and a fourth-grade top flying boat.

The technology and material requirements for a flying boat greatly exceeded that of a magical treasure; the value difference was even more significant.

Even for the powerful Great Cultivator Li Shiming, he dared not use a fourth-grade top flying boat due to immense complications she could not imagine.

She did not wish to express feelings that might dampen their spirits during such a joyful time, so she took out a female magic robe from the soul crystal ring.

The top-level fourth-grade female magic robe, after becoming its master, revealed a solidified Great Cultivator Level Defense Magic. If attacked, the robe would activate this defense magic to protect her automatically.

Moreover, the female magic robe’s appearance could change at will; whatever design she envisioned, the robe could transform automatically.

”I acquired this robe by chance. The robe’s material is rare, and given your current level, I have not reforged it!” Li Shiming explained.

”Even if I cultivate to Great Cultivator Level, I don’t need to change robes anymore!” Yin Shilan replied, shaking her head with a smile.

She didn’t have Li Shiming’s vast experience; to her, a top-level fourth-grade robe was already the highest quality among Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

The material for top-level fourth-grade robes was mostly held by superpowers; Li Shiming had many robes, so he hadn’t thought about acquiring robe materials.

In truth, he hadn’t planned to provide a spirit treasure level robe for Yin Shilan. As robes are often visible, a spirit treasure level robe wouldn’t necessarily be a good thing for Yin Shilan.
