Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1399 - 746: Inventory

Because the blueprint for the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' reconstruction had been finalized long ago and the necessary resources were prepared, Li Shiming utilized dozens of auxiliary brains to finish the transformation within a single day.

Once completed, the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' was transferred out of the engine room space and into the possession of Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba inspected the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak'. Although its exterior appeared unchanged, as its master, he could clearly feel the presence of the Gravity Gold Brick embedded within the artifact.

The Gravity Gold Brick was a creation of the Langcai Great Power. With Li Shiming’s current level of Skill, replicating such an item was impossible.

Instead of recreating it, Li Shiming had applied the same Formation that the Langcai Great Power used on the Grotto Heaven's staircase. By combining this with his own mastery of formations, he successfully ported the gravitational functions of those stairs into the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak'.

However, the gravitational field requirements for the stairs differed from those of the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak'. The stairs were designed to increase gravity progressively to block a cultivator's path, relying on both the Gravity Gold Brick and the energy of the Grotto Heaven to function.

In contrast, the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' draws its power from internal absorption and the user's own Spiritual Power Pattern.

Consequently, the new gravitational field of the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' scales with the user's strength. At present, this field is potent enough to pin a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner to the ground, rendering them unable to move.

Once Li Yuanba breaks through to the Great Cultivator Realm, the passive gravitational field of the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' will be capable of severely slowing or even completely immobilizing most Great Cultivators.

The sheer power of this gravitational field alone is on par with any top-tier spiritual treasure.

Furthermore, one must not overlook the core strength of the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak': its infinitely scalable Energy-converted Flying Sword capabilities.

Li Yuanba departed from the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven carrying the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak', leaving the rest of the spoils from their expedition behind.

Li Shiming utilized his Divine Sense to catalog their gains, starting with the Great Power Palace, which was currently stored in a miniaturized state.

He focused his awareness on the 'Heavenly Human Dao' Hall. He now held absolute authority over the entire Heavenly Person Cave Heaven.

With a mere thought, he caused the space within the 'Heavenly Human Dao' Hall to expand significantly.

Originally, this hall contained the Book Collection Pavilion, the Treasure Pavilion, and the Treasure Lotus Hall.

He then extracted the Great Power Palace from the Treasure Lotus Hall and positioned it within the 'Heavenly Human Dao' Hall. The palace rapidly grew to its full size, filling the newly expanded area.

At this moment, Li Shiming concluded a session of the 'Heavenly Human Technique' to stabilize his internal energy and stepped out from the Treasure Lotus Hall.

Gazing at the Great Power Palace—a structure built entirely from Fourth Grade Top Material—Li Shiming found the sight breathtaking, even though he had already witnessed it through the shared memories of his avatar, Li Yuanba.

It was his first time seeing a building constructed exclusively from Fourth Grade Top Material.

From the massive pillars supporting the walls to the floor tiles, the roof glazing, and even the smallest interior ornaments, everything was fashioned from Fourth Grade Top Material.

This level of extravagance stunned even Li Shiming. Despite his wealth—accumulated through peerless alchemy skills that ensured he never lacked resources and often surpassed the riches of higher-level cultivators—this was beyond anything he had imagined.

He entered the tea room and sat upon a chair crafted from Fourth Grade Top Material. Resting his hand on a matching tea table, he lifted a Fourth Grade Top Quality teapot.

He produced some Fourth Grade Spirit Tea and was about to summon his Pill Furnace when a sudden realization made him pause.

He stood up and crossed over to the Alchemy Room on the opposite side of the palace.

In the center of the room sat a Pill Furnace.

He reached out to touch it, sensing the powerful aura emanating from the vessel.

"What a waste!" he whispered softly.

This was a Fourth Grade Top Quality Pill Furnace, likely the finest of its kind in the entire Cultivation World.

The creation of a Pill Furnace is a unique endeavor, demanding a blend of various complex techniques and far more materials than standard artifact refining.

Given how rare fifth-grade materials are in the Cultivation World, even if a smith could find them, there would rarely be enough to build an entire furnace. Furthermore, most would find it more practical to forge a combat-oriented spiritual treasure than a Pill Furnace with no offensive capabilities.

Because of this, he viewed this Fourth Grade Top Quality Pill Furnace as the pinnacle of craftsmanship in the world.

In theory, a superior furnace could not exist unless Li Shiming forged it himself.

He possessed ancient knowledge regarding the construction of Pill Furnaces, but even with his specialized refining methods, creating a spiritual treasure-tier furnace using Fourth Grade Top Material was an nearly impossible feat.

Unlike weapons or armor, crafting a Pill Furnace isn't just about layering balanced energy runes.

The specifications for such a tool are incredibly high; it must be designed with scientific precision to meet the needs of alchemy. Over-tuning its power could actually ruin its ability to refine pills.

One cannot simply build a high-quality Pill Furnace that is only good for hitting people!

The reason Li Shiming called it a waste was that he could sense this Fourth Grade Top Quality Pill Furnace had never once been used.

It appeared the Langcai Great Power had commissioned this masterpiece solely to ensure the furnace's quality was consistent with the rest of the opulent palace.
