Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1983: Chapter 1038: Accepting a Disciple

When Li Shiming left the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, he took with him a mountain peak containing the Fifth Grade Spirit Spring Eye, also agreeing to Great Power Mi Bin’s request.

In truth, the cost he paid was not small. If it weren’t for the fact that his alchemy was done within the machine room space, where he could simultaneously run two furnaces without affecting his usual cultivation and daily life, he would not have agreed to this transaction.

For a normal great power to refine ten furnaces of fifth-grade spirit pills, it would take at least thirty years, and even for him, it would take fifteen years to complete the task.

However, every time he saw the mountain peak placed within the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven, he felt extremely pleased.

He didn’t place the mountain peak within his own Grotto Heaven because his Grotto Heaven was still growing and not suitable for housing external spiritual objects.

Returning to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, he specially brewed a pot of spiritual tea, using fifth-grade spiritual spring water.

He had a Holy Spirit deliver a cup of spiritual tea to Yin Shilan. Ever since Yin Shilan advanced to a half-step great power and gained her own Grotto Heaven, after he himself advanced to a great power, he could only meet with Yin Shilan through the Holy Spirit.

As for communication, it wasn’t a problem; he could speak with Yin Shilan directly through the space gate.

But to meet in person, his Mahayana Realm couldn’t directly enter Yin Shilan’s Grotto Heaven, at least for now.

The energy in Yin Shilan’s Grotto Heaven was still unstable, and she wasn’t a genius like Li Shiming or Li Yuanba. She was merely forcibly pushed up by Li Shiming.

Of course, even after she advanced to a half-step great power, Li Shiming’s support continued unabated.

While Li Shiming couldn’t enter Yin Shilan’s Grotto Heaven himself, he allocated a brain to control a Holy Spirit and stay within her Grotto Heaven, assisting her in managing its affairs.

Of course, Yin Shilan still had to gradually take over the management of the Grotto Heaven. His assistance was merely to prevent any mishaps in her half-step great power realm.

Li Shiming sat cross-legged beside the ’Daoist Golden Lotus,’ with a space gate open within its petals.

Through the space gate, the silhouette of Yin Shilan could be faintly seen.

”Lan’er, how’s this spiritual tea?” Li Shiming asked, raising his cup.

”What kind of spiritual tea is this? Just one sip is equivalent to a day’s cultivation for me!” Yin Shilan, long accustomed to this form of meeting, exclaimed in surprise after tasting the spiritual tea.

”There’s no difference from the previous spiritual tea; it’s just that the water used has been replaced with fifth-grade spiritual spring water!” Li Shiming replied with slight pride.

Actually, the effect Yin Shilan mentioned was understated.

It’s worth noting that although her Grotto Heaven’s energy production couldn’t match Li Shiming’s or Li Yuanba’s, it was still a hundred times more than a normal half-step great power.

That’s why there’s the saying that one sip of spiritual tea equals a day’s cultivation; for a regular half-step great power, this effect might be increased several dozen times.

Great Power Mi Bin had his reasons for not using this fifth-grade spirit spring eye on the sect’s younger generation.

He hoped to make further progress himself, and compared to that, the sect’s younger generation’s improvement was of little concern to him.

Even for Li Shiming, after acquiring the fifth-grade spirit spring eye, he didn’t consider having the numerous Great Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect consume it.

Probably in the entire Ten Thousand Beast Sect, the only person worthy of him using fifth-grade spiritual spring water to brew tea is Grandmaster Hu.

And Grandmaster Hu had no potential for further improvement in his own strength, so even if he drank tea brewed with fifth-grade spiritual spring water, it would just mean more energy within his body.

”Lan’er, your goal now isn’t to rapidly increase energy; you need to focus on mastering your Grotto Heaven as much as possible!” Li Shiming reminded.

He didn’t care about fifth-grade spiritual spring water or fourth-grade inquiry tea; if these things were only supplied to a few people, they could be freely squandered.

In Yin Shilan’s current situation, the growth of her Grotto Heaven’s energy exceeded her personal ability, leaving her to continuously learn from Li Shiming.

According to Li Shiming’s estimate, it would take Yin Shilan about four hundred years to attempt advancing to a great power.

This timeline, of course, can’t be compared with Li Shiming or Li Yuanba, but compared to other great powers, it’s already extremely short.

As Li Shiming was communicating with Yin Shilan, he suddenly felt a sense of something, taking a cup of spiritual tea from the table, with a wave of his hand, the tea disappeared.

The cup of spiritual tea was sent through his spatial abilities to another cave dwelling within the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, which was Li Taibai’s cave dwelling.

Li Taibai smiled slightly, receiving the spiritual tea that had appeared out of thin air in front of him.

He drank the spiritual tea, a faint inebriation appearing on his face.

”Disciple Tang Zhe requests an audience!” Just then, a voice sounded outside the cave.

Li Taibai lightly tapped his finger, the cave’s restriction opened, and the door swung wide.

”Come in!” he said indifferently.

Counting the time, it had been eight years since his last meeting with Tang Zhe, and judging by Tang Zhe’s current aptitude, it was still quite remarkable.

He could sense from outside the cave that Tang Zhe had reached the Great Cultivator Realm.

Although Tang Zhe had just broken through to the Great Cultivator Realm, and his energy was still unstable, to ascend to a Great Cultivator in eight years with sufficient resources demonstrated that Tang Zhe had previously accumulated significantly and possessed outstanding talent.

Of course, when Li Taibai first saw Tang Zhe, he was very clear about his cultivation.

Based on Tang Zhe’s physical condition, IBMz15 concluded that as long as he advanced to Great Cultivator within ten years, Tang Zhe would be worthy of cultivation.

Tang Zhe took eight years, suggesting his talent was even better than Li Taibai’s initial assessment.
