Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1509 - 801: Classics
Previously on Cultivation is just so scientific!...
Li Shiming lingered within the Book Collection Pavilion, scanning the Jade Scrolls at a remarkable velocity, swapping to a fresh one each half hour.
Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng furrowed his brows upon witnessing this from nearby, convinced that Li Shiming failed to honor the Ten Thousand Beast Sect's heritage with proper gravity.
In the realm of cultivators, individuals boasting superior recall aren't rare, particularly those devoted to spiritual technique cultivation, where such memory can achieve eidetic levels.
Nevertheless, the material spanning these hundred Inheritance Jade Scrolls proves enormous, and even possessing eidetic memory allows retention of at most one or two Scrolls' contents. Absorbing every detail from all hundred within mere months remains utterly unattainable.
"Li Shiming, have you committed to memory the Jade Scrolls you've examined?" Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng inquired, lifting a Jade Scroll that Li Shiming had perused and discarded aside.
"Yes, I've got it memorized!" Li Shiming responded, his concentration unwavering on the Jade Scroll he clutched.
Even as Li Shiming continued flipping through the Jade Scrolls, he managed to reply, deepening Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng's suspicions and leading him to assume Li Shiming was simply pretending to engage.
"Repeat the content from the thirty-first section of this Jade Scroll," Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng commanded with severity.
Li Shiming kept his divine sense locked on the Jade Scroll, but still addressed Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng's query, fluidly reciting extensive passages without pause.
Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng attended closely while verifying, detecting no flaws in the material Li Shiming had voiced.
Unwilling to concede, he drew forth more excerpts for Li Shiming to vocalize, but regardless of his selections, Li Shiming delivered them impeccably, free of any error.
Ultimately, he found himself shaking his head in wonder, comprehending the true nature of genius as he observed Li Shiming.
As a Great Cultivator, he faced only twenty years remaining in his lifespan. Regarding Li Shiming, likewise a Great Cultivator yet scarcely past a century in age, he reflected on how his own existence might have unfolded differently if he'd scaled such peaks in youth like Li Shiming.
He halted any further interruptions to Li Shiming's study of the Jade Scrolls, merely aiding in arranging and shelving each one upon Li Shiming's completion.
In reality, Li Shiming relied on his life-bound magical treasure, IBMz15, to capture the Jade Scrolls' details. He deliberately allocated thirty minutes per Scroll, extending the duration on purpose.
Should he disregard Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng's impressions completely, he could have swiftly absorbed an entire Jade Scroll's contents in moments.
No actual memorization was necessary; a mere Divine Sense pass over the Scrolls' material sufficed, and it happened with stunning swiftness.
Across the hundred Jade Scrolls, plentiful wisdom on rearing spirit beasts endured from former Great Cultivators, possessing tremendous worth on par with the Ten Thousand Beast Sect's elite spirit beast cultivation scriptures.
Above all, the insights regarding spirit beasts' progression to Late Stage Fourth Grade carried utmost relevance for him.
Spirit beasts such as Little Feng and the Illusion Spirit Dragon, despite their exceptionally refined bloodlines, encountered grave perils in advancing to Late Stage Fourth Grade, requiring meticulous safeguards against the threats.
"Pardon the wait; allow me to prepare a pot of spiritual tea for you!" After an unspecified duration, as Li Shiming set aside the final Jade Scroll and observed Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng remaining seated nearby, he commented.
"I've heard tales of your spiritual tea; fortune smiles on me today!" Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng answered with a grin, declining no such courtesy.
While Li Shiming resided at the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng stayed in seclusion without surfacing. He only sampled the spiritual tea Li Shiming had bequeathed after Li Shiming's departure.
From accounts by multiple Great Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, Li Shiming's Fourth Grade Spirit Tea ranked as superior, but the version he brewed himself stood as a peerless triumph, the supreme achievement among spiritual teas in the cultivation realm.
Li Shiming grinned while producing the 'Green Mist Treasure Cauldron' and ignited Spiritual Fire to infuse a pot of spiritual tea inside.
Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng gazed fixedly at the 'Green Mist Treasure Cauldron,' discerning from its emanation that it qualified as a Top-grade Fourth-grade Pill Furnace.
Possessing a Top-grade Fourth-grade Pill Furnace lay beyond imagination, since Pill Furnaces and magical treasures represented entirely separate notions.
Forging Pill Furnaces demanded far greater difficulty, necessitating immense volumes of highly unusual Fourth Grade Top Materials, with requirements several-fold exceeding those for magical treasures.
For any Great Cultivator to hold a Top-level Fourth Grade Magical Treasure already marked as extraordinary.
However, the display before him stunned; Li Shiming wielded a Top-grade Fourth Grade Pill Furnace merely to steep tea, a sight that would surely incite frenzy in any Alchemy Master beholding it.
Li Shiming decanted a cup of spiritual tea and slid it toward Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng, its refined flavor pulling him from his trance.
"Splendid tea; having savored this, I harbor no regrets for my life!" Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng imbibed the spiritual tea, sealed his eyes to relish its essence, and after an extended interval, he proclaimed.
Across his existence, he'd endured vast experiences, rendering it hard to encounter anything truly remarkable anymore, yet this cup of spiritual tea ignited a renewed vigor, imparting a sensation of vitality.
This revival wasn't corporeal, but rather a refreshment of spirit and soul.
For a waning Great Cultivator, such spiritual tea exerted a deep influence surpassing that on a standard Great Cultivator by far.
"I've lately produced additional spiritual tea; if it suits you, kindly accept these." Li Shiming perceived the transformation in Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng, pondered briefly, then withdrew a jade box and positioned it before him.
