Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1591 - 842: Daoist Couple

From the soul crystal ring, Yin Shilan extracted the remaining two spiritual items, both securely housed inside a jade box.

Inside the opened jade box lay a flying sword and a jade scroll.

"This flying sword ranks as a spiritual treasure level flying sword, suitable to serve as your lifebound treasure later on. Such a spiritual treasure level flying sword enhances cultivation speed while in the Nascent Soul Stage. The jade scroll contains the 'Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique' I acquired from Luanyang Palace, designed to help you switch over your cultivation technique once you reach the Nascent Soul Stage!" Li Shiming indicated the two spiritual items while providing the explanation.

"Spiritual treasure? Does that mean it surpasses a regular treasure in level?" Thanks to her exceptional intelligence, Yin Shilan swiftly caught the essential detail in Li Shiming's statement and questioned.

"Indeed, so you ought to refine this spiritual treasure level flying sword into your body alone and avoid using it outwardly. Revealing the presence of this spiritual treasure might invite enormous dangers!" Li Shiming confirmed with a resigned nod and advised.

Were it not for the unique benefit of the spiritual treasure level flying sword in accelerating cultivation, he would never wish for Yin Shilan to face risks on its account.

Yet, progressing through the Nascent Soul Stage demands vast amounts of time, and Li Shiming had only achieved his rapid rise to great cultivator status by gathering numerous favorable factors.

Even though Yin Shilan had just entered the Nascent Soul Stage—remarkably youthful for an Early Stage Nascent Soul cultivator—the extended timeline of Nascent Soul cultivation made any speedup in progress profoundly influential for her prospects ahead.

"Shiming, I promise to stay cautious!" Yin Shilan showed no signs of rejection; instead, she clutched the spiritual treasure flying sword firmly in her grasp.

"Luanyang Palace stands as a supreme force across the Central State Continent in the cultivation realm, accepting solely female cultivators into its ranks. I secured the 'Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique' from Luanyang Palace, and when you attain sufficient strength, you could head to either the Ten Thousand Beast Sect or Luanyang Palace to form a contract with a phoenix!" Li Shiming went on.

Securing Luanyang Palace's consent to transmit the 'Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique' proved straightforward; Li Shiming simply pledged to handle their alchemy needs and vowed not to disseminate the technique, thereby gaining its complete inheritance.

Moreover, should Yin Shilan require further guidance, she could visit Luanyang Palace to access additional legacies and bind a phoenix.

Regarding the pursuit of a phoenix contract in the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, success rates remain exceedingly slim, and Li Shiming could offer no assurances of an available phoenix there.

Once he possessed the means to safeguard himself, Li Shiming had already mapped out Yin Shilan's future cultivation journey.

He had refrained from consulting Yin Shilan on these plans, primarily since neither she nor her Thousand Illusion Sect possessed knowledge or influence over paths beyond the Nascent Soul Stage.

The original lifebound treasure of Yin Shilan had been discarded; it had been her sole lifebound treasure from the Golden Core Early Stage.

Discarding a lifebound treasure requires a period of effort, yet under Li Shiming's assistance, the procedure unfolded without hitches.

During the recognition process for the new lifebound spiritual treasure flying sword, she found it remarkably attuned to her elemental affinities. As a lifebound spiritual treasure, its primary advantages included refining the spirit, hastening the flow of Spiritual Power Patterns, and warding off inner demons.

She skipped any trials of the lifebound spiritual treasure flying sword's offensive capabilities, having no intention of deploying it in combat.

Throughout the recognition of the lifebound spiritual treasure flying sword, her aim was to employ it purely as a supportive artifact.

In the ensuing days, Li Shiming instructed Yin Shilan in beginning her practice of the 'Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique.'

The 'Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique' incorporated the accumulated wisdom and realizations of Luanyang Palace ancestors, and as the sect's most harmonious foundational method, it posed no great challenges in cultivation.

Day by day, Yin Shilan advanced steadfastly along her righteous cultivation path, training within the Great Power Palace as Li Shiming pursued his own cultivation in the Treasure Lotus Hall.

Over the three years devoid of active cultivation, Li Shiming made the most of the period; during that span, he achieved remarkable gains in comprehending the rules of Five Elements, Thunder, and Sword Intent.

His pace in grasping these rules outstripped that of any great cultivator by a wide margin.

The analytical prowess of his lifebound treasure IBMz15 proved invaluable, as it relentlessly dissected the rules, with every minor advancement feeding directly into Li Shiming's deeper understanding.

No great cultivator in the entire cultivation world enjoys the advantages he possesses. Following his ascension to great cultivator, his lifebound treasure IBMz15 underwent yet another major enhancement in capabilities, especially in rule analysis, yielding substantial strides forward.

He also finished refining five pieces of late-stage golden corpse equipment, though his mountain peak treasure remained unprocessed, largely because his ties to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect prompted Central State Commerce to deliver a shipment of materials for Great Cultivator Spirit Pills.

Li Shiming hesitated to turn down the offer, given his pressing demand for Great Cultivator Spirit Pills; skipping out on alchemy tasks would stall his cultivation progress for an extended time.

A year onward, Yin Shilan had firmly consolidated her realm, aware that her departure from the Beishu Continent loomed near.

On that occasion, she suggested to Li Shiming that they go see her parents, and the pair departed from the Beishu Sect together.

Inner Yang Mountain, once merely a commonplace hub for cultivators situated between the gateways of Thousand Illusion Sect and Shushan Sect, had transformed.

With the founding of the Beishu Sect, the areas encircling it surged in worth beyond measure.

This growth expanded Inner Yang Mountain by dozens of folds, now guarded by Beishu Sect cultivators to maintain utmost security.
