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

From the soul crystal ring, Yin Shilan pulled out the final two spiritual items, both secured inside a jade box.

As the jade box was unveiled, it exposed a flying sword and a jade scroll.

"This flying sword reaches the spiritual treasure level, making it a candidate for your future lifebound treasure. During the Nascent Soul Stage, a flying sword of spiritual treasure quality will accelerate your cultivation pace. That jade scroll holds the ’Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique’ I secured from Luanyang Palace, designed to serve as your new cultivation method once you enter the Nascent Soul Stage!" Li Shiming indicated the pair of spiritual items while providing the explanation.

"Spiritual treasure? So it ranks above an ordinary treasure?" With her exceptional acuity, Yin Shilan swiftly identified the essential element in Li Shiming’s explanation and posed the question.

"That’s correct, so you should only refine this spiritual treasure level flying sword into your body and avoid deploying it whenever possible. Revealing such a spiritual treasure might invite enormous dangers!" Li Shiming affirmed with a resigned nod.

Without the unique benefit of boosting cultivation speed from the spiritual treasure level flying sword, he would never wish for Yin Shilan to face risks over it.

Yet, progressing through the Nascent Soul Stage demands vast amounts of time, and Li Shiming himself had leveraged numerous advantages to reach great cultivator status at such a rapid pace.

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 enhancement to her speed profoundly influential on her prospects ahead.

"Shiming, I’ll take good care!" Rather than rejecting it, Yin Shilan simply gripped the spiritual treasure flying sword firmly in her grasp.

"Luanyang Palace stands as a supreme force across Central State Continent in the realm of cultivation, accepting solely female cultivators into its ranks. I acquired the ’Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique’ from them, and after you achieve sufficient progress, 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 merely pledged to handle their alchemy needs and vowed not to disseminate the method, thereby gaining its complete inheritance.

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

Regarding a phoenix contract at the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, the odds remained slim, and Li Shiming couldn’t assure the availability of a suitable phoenix.

Once he possessed the strength to safeguard himself, Li Shiming began plotting Yin Shilan’s route through cultivation.

He had refrained from consulting her on these plans chiefly because neither she nor her Thousand Illusion Sect possessed knowledge of paths beyond the Nascent Soul Stage.

Yin Shilan’s prior lifebound treasure had been discarded; it served as her lifebound item back in the Golden Core Early Stage and represented her sole remaining treasure.

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

In binding with the new lifebound spiritual treasure flying sword, she found it remarkably attuned to her innate attributes. As a lifebound spiritual treasure, its primary advantages included refining the spirit, hastening Spiritual Power Pattern flow, and warding off inner demons.

She skipped any evaluation of the lifebound spiritual treasure flying sword’s offensive capabilities, since she had no intention of wielding it in combat.

Throughout the binding of the lifebound spiritual treasure flying sword, she envisioned employing 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 wisdom and realizations of Luanyang Palace’s forebears, and as the sect’s most harmonious foundational method, it rendered cultivation relatively straightforward.

Daily, Yin Shilan pursued her righteous cultivation journey, training within the Great Power Palace as Li Shiming refined his own practice in the Treasure Lotus Hall.

After three years without prior cultivation focus, Li Shiming hadn’t squandered the interval; during this span, he made remarkable strides in comprehending the rules of Five Elements, Thunder, and Sword Intent.

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

The analytical prowess of his lifebound treasure IBMz15 proved instrumental, as it relentlessly dissected the rules, with each minor advancement fueling Li Shiming’s deeper understanding.

No great cultivator in the cultivation world enjoyed his unique circumstances. Following his ascension to great cultivator, his lifebound treasure IBMz15 underwent a major enhancement in capabilities, especially for rule analysis, yielding substantial gains.

He finished refining five pieces of late-stage golden corpse gear as well, 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 decline, given his pressing demand for Great Cultivator Spirit Pills—skipping alchemy tasks would stall his cultivation indefinitely.

One year onward, Yin Shilan had solidified her realm, aware that her departure from Beishu Continent loomed near.

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

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

With the Beishu Sect’s founding, the areas around it surged in worth.

This growth expanded Inner Yang Mountain by several dozen folds, now guarded by Beishu Sect cultivators to maintain security.
