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

The reconstruction blueprint for 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' had been finalized long ago, and with all necessary components prepared, Li Shiming utilized dozens of brains to finish the mountain's overhaul within a single day.

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

Li Yuanba inspected the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak'. While its exterior appeared unchanged, his connection as one of its masters allowed him to feel the presence of the Gravity Gold Brick embedded deep within the peak.

Crafted by the Langcai Great Power, the Gravity Gold Brick was an object beyond Li Shiming’s current ability to replicate.

Instead of recreating it, Li Shiming had integrated the specific Formation used by the Langcai Great Power on the Grotto Heaven's staircase with his own mastery of formations, successfully migrating the stairs' gravitational properties into the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak'.

However, the gravitational requirements for the stairs and the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' were distinct. The original staircase increased gravity incrementally to block a Cultivator's progress, relying on both the Gravity Gold Brick and the Grotto Heaven’s vast energy reserves.

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

Consequently, the mountain's new gravitational field 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 reaches the Great Cultivator Realm, the passive gravitational field of the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' alone will be enough to severely hinder most Great Cultivators or suppress them entirely.

This gravitational effect by itself rivals the utility of any high-tier spiritual treasure.

Furthermore, the true lethality of 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' lies in its infinitely scalable Energy-converted Flying Sword capabilities.

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

Li Shiming used his Divine Sense to catalog the treasures, beginning with the Great Power Palace, which was currently stored in a miniature state.

He reached out to the 'Heavenly Human Dao' Hall; he now held absolute dominion over the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven.

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

The 'Heavenly Human Dao' Hall already 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 situated it within the 'Heavenly Human Dao' Hall. The palace rapidly grew to its full size, filling the newly created space.

At that moment, Li Shiming finished a cycle of the 'Heavenly Human Technique' to stabilize his internal energy and stepped out of the Treasure Lotus Hall.

Gazing at the Great Power Palace—a structure forged entirely from Fourth Grade Top Material—Li Shiming found the sight breathtaking, even though he had already shared Li Yuanba’s memories of exploring it.

This was his first time witnessing an entire building composed of such rare 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.

Such opulence was shocking even to Li Shiming. Despite his legendary alchemy skills ensuring he never lacked resources and a wealth that rivaled cultivators of higher realms, this level of extravagance was unprecedented.

He entered the tea room and took a seat on a chair carved from Fourth Grade Top Material. Resting his hand on a matching tea table, he lifted a teapot of the same exquisite quality.

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.

A Pill Furnace stood prominently in the center of the room.

He placed a hand on it, sensing the vibrations of its aura.

"What a waste!" he whispered.

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

Constructing a Pill Furnace is a specialized craft that demands a blend of various techniques and far more resources than standard artifact refining.

Because fifth-grade materials are so scarce in the Cultivation world, even if one could find them, there is rarely enough to build a full Pill Furnace. Furthermore, using such rare materials for a non-combat tool like a furnace is often seen as less practical than forging a combat-oriented spiritual treasure.

Thus, this Fourth Grade Top Quality Pill Furnace represented the pinnacle of what was available.

In theory, a better furnace could not exist unless Li Shiming crafted it himself.

While he possessed the knowledge of furnace crafting, using his specialized refining methods to create a spiritual treasure-tier Pill Furnace from Fourth Grade Top Material was an immense challenge.

Unlike forging weapons or armor, a Pill Furnace cannot be made simply by piling up energy runes.

The specifications for a furnace are incredibly strict. It must be designed with alchemy in mind; over-tuning its power could actually ruin its ability to refine pills.

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

Li Shiming called it a waste because his senses told him 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 Alchemy Room's decor matched the luxury of the rest of the palace.
