Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1400 - 746: Inventory_2

Previously on Cultivation is just so scientific!...
Li Shiming completes the reconstruction of the Ten Thousand Sword Peak, integrating a Gravity Gold Brick to grant the weapon a powerful gravitational field capable of suppressing formidable cultivators. After Li Yuanba departs with the upgraded artifact, Li Shiming turns his attention to the spoils recovered from the Grotto Heaven. Upon inspecting the Great Power Palace, he discovers an extravagant collection of fourth-grade materials and a pristine, top-quality pill furnace that appears to have never been used.

It would be a massive waste for an Alchemy Master to possess a top-grade Pill Furnace of such caliber and allow it to sit idle.

He performed a Master Recognition Technique on the Fourth-grade top-grade Pill Furnace. The process concluded successfully, and he established ownership without any complications.

’Green Mist Treasure Cauldron’—this was the title bestowed upon this exceptional Fourth-grade Pill Furnace.

Because the ’Green Mist Treasure Cauldron’ was pristine and unused, he would need to begin by crafting numerous Nascent Soul Early Stage Fourth Grade Elixirs. This would season the ’Green Mist Treasure Cauldron’, strengthening its spiritual resonance with medicinal ingredients before he attempted to refine Great Cultivator Spirit Pills.

Contrary to what one might think, a brand-new Pill Furnace is not necessarily superior. Furnaces that have been seasoned over time absorb the essence of countless spiritual medicines, which significantly minimizes the risk of volatile accidents during the alchemy process.

For this reason, many Alchemy Masters remain loyal to a single suitable Pill Furnace for their entire lives.

Li Shiming, however, was an exception; he was capable of refining five batches of Spirit Pills at once. With the addition of the ’Green Mist Treasure Cauldron’, his capacity increased to six simultaneous furnaces.

The primary advantage of the ’Green Mist Treasure Cauldron’ was its ability to accelerate the refining time while marginally boosting the quality of the final pills.

A strange vapor manifests during the refining process, which is how the ’Green Mist Treasure Cauldron’ earned its name.

This green mist appears as the medicinal properties are stimulated, offering other Alchemy Masters an enhanced sensory perception of the internal medicinal reactions.

However, for someone like Li Shiming, this feature was practically useless, serving as nothing more than a visual decoration.

With a casual flick of his sleeve, the ’Green Mist Treasure Cauldron’ was stored away.

He walked back to the tea room, setting the ’Green Mist Treasure Cauldron’ to the side. He then placed the Fourth-grade Spirit Tea Leaves he had personally processed into it, adding top-grade spring water.

Using his alchemy techniques, he began brewing the Fourth Grade Spirit Tea. Before long, a stream of liquid soared from the cauldron and settled into a top-grade Fourth-grade teapot.

He lifted the teapot and poured the Spirit Tea into a matching top-grade Fourth-grade teacup.

The exquisite tea set further refined the already superior aroma of the tea. As he inhaled the scent, his mind entered a state of relaxation, and the spiritual exhaustion accumulated from his cultivation seemed to evaporate.

Upon taking a sip of the Fourth Grade Spirit Tea, a wave of clarity washed through his frame. His pores opened in response to the sensation, and he closed his eyes to savor the momentary bliss.

Indeed, a tea set of such great power was not merely for show; it truly aided one’s cultivation path.

During long periods of solitary cultivation, even though Li Shiming possessed one hundred and ninety-one brains, the isolation could gradually wear down his spirit.

While Cultivators possess various methods to recalibrate their mental state, even the most effective adjustments can leave lingering marks that might disrupt the spirit during pivotal breakthroughs.

However, enjoying tea with a top-grade Fourth-grade tea set helped mitigate these emotional disturbances.

The combination of Li Shiming’s own Fourth-grade Spirit Tea Leaves, the top-grade ’Green Mist Treasure Cauldron’, and the top-grade tea set was a peak luxury that could entirely cleanse the mental fatigue of seclusion.

He smiled to himself, deciding that he would occasionally have his incarnation, Li Yuanba, visit so they could enjoy the Spiritual Tea together.

Leaving the tea room, Li Shiming made his way toward the Cultivation Room.

There were few treasures there that piqued his interest, which was expected, considering a figure of Langcai Great Power’s stature no longer relied on standard Cultivation Rooms.

The room existed more out of tradition; since every cultivator begins their journey with one, it becomes a lifelong habit. Even a Mahayana Realm figure like Langcai Great Power would include a Cultivation Room in his palace due to this deep emotional tie.

He toured the palace but left the Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Spiritual Objects untouched for now, intending to use them as he pleased later. Any other cultivator witnessing such a casual disregard for these treasures would surely be outraged by the extravagance.

Furthermore, he had no intention of inviting guests to this palace—at least not until he was powerful enough to defend it and ensure its location remained a secret.

Next, he produced the ’Luminous Golden Flower’. Li Yuanba had already performed the master acknowledgment, sensing the unique properties of this exotic treasure.

Li Shiming remained slightly curious about the mechanics of the ’Luminous Golden Flower’. While the vast sea of flowers appeared to be a projection of the main plant, every individual blossom possessed a physical form.

Utilizing his advanced artifact refining and formation expertise, Li Shiming moved the ’Luminous Golden Flower’ into his machine room space. He then used his 0.1-nanometer precision control to conduct a thorough scan.

The ’Luminous Golden Flower’ was fundamentally a plant, perhaps one altered by a powerful being or a rare natural mutation, resulting in a hybrid state between a living plant and a magical artifact.

As a semi-plant, it could draw energy from the soil to grow.

As a semi-artifact, it would not perish if removed from the earth, though it would stop growing, remaining preserved like any other magical tool.

After a moment of thought, Li Shiming’s form vanished from the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven and reappeared within the Half-Life Cave Heaven.

The only other inhabitant of the Half-Life Cave Heaven was the solitary Divine Tree.

He had no plans to grow spiritual medicine here until the space matured into a true Cave Heaven.

He planted the ’Luminous Golden Flower’ into the ’Breathable Soil’ of the Half-Life Cave Heaven. With a single thought, the flower split into an innumerable sea of blossoms.

Because the Half-Life Cave Heaven was currently limited in size, the golden blooms filled every inch of the available ground.

These golden flowers immediately breathed life into the entire Half-Life Cave Heaven.

As the master of the ’Luminous Golden Flower’, the petals did not fly away; instead, the flowers swayed gently in his presence, releasing a delicate perfume.

Li Shiming floated in the air, while the fireball generated by the ’Fire Jade Furnace’ shone above like a sun.

Below, the green foliage of the Divine Tree and the golden sea of petals turned toward the fireball. Following their natural instincts, they absorbed the heat from the ’Fire Jade Furnace’, converting it into energy.

This created a nearly complete cyclical ecosystem, though the absence of one element of the Five Elements meant the Half-Life Cave Heaven remained flawed.

However, the core of Langcai Great Power’s Cave Heaven, which his incarnation Li Yuanba had obtained, possessed the potential to fix this imperfection.

Still, the cave heaven core of Langcai Great Power was unusual and required a closer look.

He left the Forbidden Spirit Talisman intact on the cave heaven’s metal core heart as he removed it from the Forbidden Spirit Jade Box.

Due to the talisman, the metal core heart’s influence on the Half-Life Cave Heaven was suppressed, making it as inert as a common stone.

Li Shiming extended his Divine Sense toward the metal core heart, curious about its contents.

Back when Li Yuanba was inside the original cave heaven, the Artifact Spirit had warned him not to wake the master. This led Li Shiming to suspect that the physical remains of Langcai Great Power might be resting inside.

This suspicion was why Li Yuanba hadn't inspected the core immediately; when it came to specialized methods and safety, Li Shiming’s main body was far more capable.

Should anything go wrong, Li Shiming could handle it with stability.

Currently, within the Half-Life Cave Heaven, he was effectively the god of this domain.

Even if Langcai Great Power’s body posed a threat, he could exit the Half-Life Cave Heaven with a mere thought.

This was his ultimate safeguard; within his own domain, his power far exceeded his normal limits.

As an extra precaution, he summoned the Heavenly Ghost to wait nearby in an invisible state. The Heavenly Ghost’s soul-based abilities had been proven in many battles to be effective even against much stronger foes.

He had brought the metal core heart into the Half-Life Cave Heaven because, if the situation became unsalvageable, sacrificing the Half-Life Cave Heaven was a much smaller loss than losing the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven.
