Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1449 - 771: Harvest
Previously on Cultivation is just so scientific!...
Li Yuanba decided to label this unnamed cultivation method as the 'Nameless Sword Manual'. The technique proves quite impressive, even though he has no intention of adopting the 'Nameless Sword Manual' as his core cultivation path; he can certainly still train in it.
The 'Nameless Sword Manual' dramatically boosts a cultivator's fighting prowess during melee battles, eliminating the need for outdated approaches in hand-to-hand clashes and enabling the deployment of Golden Core Stage moves from the 'Sword Demon Secret Manual' supported by a Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation.
Naturally, he won't dedicate effort to analyzing the 'Nameless Sword Manual'; that task falls to Li Shiming's primary body.
Li Shiming's main body merely has to assign a couple of brain cells, working alongside IBMz15 for some analysis, to gain an initial grasp of the 'Nameless Sword Manual' prior to cultivation, simplifying the entire process considerably.
He examined the remaining nine jade scrolls as well. While they don't stand out as exceptional sword cultivation texts, they still broaden his understanding of the sword Dao.
In the days that followed, Li Yuanba only joined the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion team's outings when they set forth; at all other times, he stayed within the base.
That particular day, an invitation drew Li Yuanba back to the familiar tent, where upon entering, he found every Great Cultivator assembled there.
The Great Cultivators welcomed him with enthusiasm and prepared a seat just for him.
He sensed that a gathering was about to unfold; at this point, his position in Hell Cave Heaven held a remarkably elevated status. Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion embraced him thanks to his identity as an Alchemy Master—and not merely any such master, but one of exceptional talent; every Great Cultivator in Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion relied on him for alchemy work.
For the Great Cultivators of other superpowers, it stemmed from his 'Innate Wood' Divine Skills.
In just those ten days, he had healed four Great Cultivators on his own, which not only bound those four in gratitude but also demonstrated his vital role to all the Great Cultivators.
This prompted the assembly of Great Cultivators, where they called him to join as a peer.
"Mr. Lou, as you've witnessed, Infinite Sect has suffered the loss of eight cultivators, one of them a core cultivator. I request that Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion supply the Space Acceptance Talisman, granting Infinite Sect cultivators an escape route amid peril!" A Great Cultivator from Infinite Sect offered Li Yuanba a warm smile and nod first, then addressed Great Cultivator Lou.
He took this step to ensure Li Yuanba harbored no misconceptions.
"Mr. Lou, our sect has endured casualties too!" chimed in a Great Cultivator from Beidou Sect.
One by one, the Great Cultivators from the various superpowers voiced identical pleas, chiefly since Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion had seen only wounded sword cultivators in the last ten days, with zero fatalities.
Furthermore, those injured sword cultivators swiftly rejoined the fray thanks to Li Yuanba's 'Innate Wood' Divine Skills healing.
Yet teams from the other superpowers faced harsher fates; regardless of their vigilance, mishaps proved unavoidable.
Over that ten-day span, Infinite Sect's eight losses counted as light, though it hit them hard with the death of a core cultivator.
In truth, any superpower would prefer sacrificing ten regular cultivators over a single core one.
Core cultivators form the bedrock of any power, embody future promise, and deliver crucial battle strength.
"I can consent to this request, though it's restricted to Hell Cave Heaven alone!" Great Cultivator Lou replied with a faint smile, showing no outright denial.
He skipped any talk of rewards, yet as dealings among superpowers go, nothing comes without cost; the pertinent trades would get handled by specialized cultivators later.
These Great Cultivators simply set the course.
Great Cultivator Lou's approval brought a wave of relief to the other superpower Great Cultivators; their joint push aimed to curb further deaths.
They understood that rejecting now would make future approvals far tougher in mere days.
Soon, reinforcements from superpowers across other continents would pour in, swelling team numbers so much that Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion couldn't permit excessive use of the 'Space Acceptance Array' by outsiders, lest it hinder their own sword cultivators.
The 'Space Acceptance Array' erected on Hell Island serves as a provisional setup, accommodating just one cultivator at a time.
Under usual conditions, this works fine; after one teleports out, the array resets swiftly for the next.
With the present cultivator count on the field and danger encounter rates, clashes over usage stay rare.
However, should cultivator numbers multiply several-fold, nothing ensures two won't face threats at once, dooming one to perish from delayed escape.
With the key talks wrapped up, those Great Cultivators not heading out to purge Hell Creatures settled into casual chats inside the tent.
Such a concentration of Great Cultivators happens seldom; their shared insights enrich everyone present.
Of course, the Great Cultivators keep exchanges concise, steering clear of any superpower secrets.
Li Yuanba paid close attention; the Great Cultivator Realm lies far off for him yet. Through IBMz15, he logged every word, ready to draw on it once his cultivation advances sufficiently.
Across those ten days, he gathered a few 'Hell Disgust Crystal Essence' pieces, but alas, as the base grew and cultivator patrols widened, no remarkable resources turned up.
