Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1449 - 771: Harvest

Li Yuanba decided to dub the unidentified cultivation method the 'Nameless Sword Manual'. The technique proves rather impressive, even if he has no intention of adopting the 'Nameless Sword Manual' as his core cultivation path—he can still train in it nonetheless.

The 'Nameless Sword Manual' dramatically boosts a practitioner's fighting strength during melee battles, eliminating the need for outdated approaches in hand-to-hand clashes. It allows the deployment of Golden Core Stage maneuvers from the 'Sword Demon Secret Manual' alongside a Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation.

Naturally, he has no plans to delve into studying the 'Nameless Sword Manual' personally; that task falls to Li Shiming's primary body.

Li Shiming's main form merely has to spare a pair of brain cells, partner with IBMz15 for basic analysis, and gain an initial grasp of the 'Nameless Sword Manual' prior to cultivation, rendering the whole process far simpler.

He inspected the remaining nine jade slips as well. Though these sword cultivation texts lack true excellence, they still serve to deepen his insight into the sword Dao.

During the ensuing days, Li Yuanba ventured forth solely alongside the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion squad on their outings; he otherwise stayed confined to the headquarters.

That particular day, Li Yuanba received an invitation to the familiar tent, stepping inside to discover every Great Cultivator gathered there.

The Great Cultivators offered him a hearty welcome and prepared a seat just for him.

He realized a conference was underway; at present, his standing within Hell Cave Heaven holds an exceptionally elevated air. Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion embraced him thanks to his identity as an Alchemy Master—and a masterfully proficient one at that—their Great Cultivators all depending on his pill-forging expertise.

Regarding the Great Cultivators of other mighty factions, their regard stemmed from his 'Innate Wood' Divine Skills.

Within those mere ten days, he had already mended four Great Cultivators, not only binding those four in debt to him but also revealing his crucial value to the entire assembly of Great Cultivators.

Such circumstances sparked the gathering of Great Cultivators, drawing him in as a participant and treating him on par with them.

"Mr. Lou, as you've witnessed, Infinite Sect has lost eight cultivators, one being a core cultivator. I request Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion to supply the Space Acceptance Talisman, granting Infinite Sect cultivators an escape route amid looming threats!" A Great Cultivator of Infinite Sect first offered Li Yuanba a smile and a nod, before addressing Great Cultivator Lou.

His gesture aimed to prevent any potential misconception on Li Yuanba's part.

"Mr. Lou, our sect has endured heavy losses too!" chimed in a Great Cultivator from Beidou Sect.

Subsequently, every Great Cultivator representing the mighty powers voiced this identical demand, primarily since Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion had faced only wounded sword cultivators over the prior ten days, with zero deaths.

Furthermore, those very injured sword cultivators swiftly recovered and rejoined the fray through Li Yuanba's 'Innate Wood' Divine Skills healing.

Yet squads from the other mighty powers lacked such luck; despite utmost vigilance, mishaps prove unavoidable.

Across those ten days, Infinite Sect's tally of eight fallen cultivators counted as relatively light, yet it represented a grave blow for them due to the core cultivator among the deceased.

Truthfully, any mighty power prefers sacrificing ten regular cultivators over even one core cultivator.

Core cultivators form the bedrock of any organization, embody future promise, and deliver essential battle prowess.

"I consent to this request, though restricted solely to Hell Cave Heaven!" Great Cultivator Lou replied with a faint smile, opting not to deny it.

He skipped any talk of rewards, yet as dealings among mighty powers, nothing comes without cost—specialized cultivators will negotiate the underlying trades.

These Great Cultivators merely set the course.

Hearing Great Cultivator Lou's approval eased the other Great Cultivators from the mighty powers somewhat; their joint push aimed to curb further deaths.

They understood that without Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion's nod at this juncture, pressing the issue later would grow far tougher.

In just a few days, reinforcements from mighty powers on distant continents would arrive, swelling the ranks of teams and making Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion reluctant to let excessive numbers tap the 'Space Acceptance Array' at once, lest it hinder their sword cultivators.

The 'Space Acceptance Array' erected on Hell Island functions as a provisional setup, accommodating only a single cultivator's transmission simultaneously.

Under usual conditions, this arrangement works fine; after one cultivator returns via teleportation, the array resets promptly for the next.

With the battlefield's current cultivator count and danger encounter rate, clashes over usage remain unlikely.

However, should cultivator numbers multiply several-fold, nothing ensures two won't face peril together, forcing one to perish from delayed escape.

With the key talks wrapped up, aside from Great Cultivators heading out to purge Hell Creatures, the rest launched into conversations within the tent.

Such a rare convergence of numerous Great Cultivators yields gains for everyone involved.

Naturally, the Great Cultivators' talks stay concise, steering clear of any sensitive secrets tied to their mighty powers.

Li Yuanba paid close attention; the Great Cultivator Realm lies some ways off for him yet. Through IBMz15, he logs every word, ready to consult it once his cultivation level aligns.

Throughout those ten days, he managed to obtain a few 'Hell Disgust Crystal Essence' pieces, but alas, the base's growth and widened cultivator patrols yielded no extraordinary finds.
