Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1611 - 852: Emerging from Seclusion

In the Dongqi Continent, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect remains a prominent force in the Cultivation World. However, in certain ways, it has already exceeded the boundaries of major sects, needing only a supreme expert to rival the superpowers.

With no supreme expert present on the Dongqi Continent, the mighty Great Cultivator Li Shiming has single-handedly dominated all other Great Cultivators throughout the Cultivation World, granting the Ten Thousand Beast Sect an exceptional standing in the Cultivation World.

Li Shiming's renowned mastery in alchemy, considered the finest in the Cultivation World, ensures that every faction seeks alliance with the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Be it genuine or feigned, no group openly clashes with the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Even the superpowers Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect, harboring grudges against Li Shiming, have resorted to numerous strategies to mend ties with the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

For without improving relations with the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, they cannot request alchemy services from Li Shiming.

The count of Great Cultivators in both Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect has reached its lowest point ever. Should they fail to restore their Great Cultivator numbers promptly, these two superpowers will soon confront a severe imbalance in their sect's power.

Li Shiming enjoys a leisurely life, where his 'Phantom Clone' stays by Yin Shilan's side while his main body retreats into secluded cultivation, only appearing every few years.

The 'Phantom Clone' also receives visits from Great Cultivators to manage alchemy requests.

At present, alchemy orders from the Central State Commerce have dwindled, since most Great Cultivators opt to visit the Ten Thousand Beast Sect directly to discuss compensation with Li Shiming and seize the chance to build rapport with him.

During the previous assault on Li Shiming's 'Phantom Clone' and Yin Shilan on the Central State Continent, Luanyang Palace activated countless connections yet failed to identify the culprits behind it.

Yet, the inability to expose them highlights the formidable might of the hidden forces, which must at least equal Luanyang Palace among superpowers.

Li Shiming chose not to investigate further. Following the 'Phantom Clone's' return with Yin Shilan to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, they remained within its grounds for the subsequent thirty years.

"Shiming, you've emerged from seclusion—come try the Spiritual Tea I brewed!" Yin Shilan called out joyfully in the Great Power Palace upon spotting Li Shiming entering the hall.

Having spent more than thirty years alongside Li Shiming, even without the 'Phantom Clone' intentionally staying in a translucent form, she could instantly distinguish it from his true body.

As Li Shiming stepped into the Great Power Palace, he carried no trace of an otherworldly presence, resembling an everyday individual.

Nevertheless, his cultivation had undergone a remarkable transformation since thirty years prior. Having just stepped into the Great Cultivator Realm back then, his power now firmly resided in the Middle Stage of Great Cultivator.

This progress stemmed from the steady influx of High-level Spirit Pills tailored for Great Cultivators, ensuring his cultivation stayed fully nourished by resources.

Over those thirty years of practice, despite possessing five Nascent Souls that demanded the pill consumption of five equivalent Great Cultivators, the stock of High-level Spirit Pills for Great Cultivators under his possession not only held steady but grew substantially.

Ever since he began accepting alchemy commissions, Great Cultivators from across the Cultivation World have contributed their hoarded supplies, particularly from major and super sects whose reserves of Great Cultivator materials surpassed his expectations by far.

Without the rise of an Alchemy Master like Li Shiming—who alone upholds Great Cultivator-level refinement—various factions would have continued stockpiling Great Cultivator Spirit Medicines as vital reserves.

But Li Shiming's arrival compelled these groups to relinquish their Great Cultivator Spirit Medicines, utilizing his alchemical prowess to multiply their worth by dozens of times.

The rewards from these sects and Great Cultivators to Li Shiming have vastly expanded his command over premium resources.

Li Shiming settled opposite the tea table and savored a sip from the fourth-grade top-level teacup filled with Fourth Grade Spirit Tea.

"Lan’er, your brewing has advanced tremendously!" he praised with a grin, noticing Yin Shilan's eager expression.

"I picked it up from the master, though it's unfortunate you can't master my brewing style!" Yin Shilan responded with a beaming smile, her eyes crinkling in delight.

"Your cultivation progress has been swift; it's wiser to ease back on Spirit Pills and solidify your current realm first!" Li Shiming advised as he set down the top-level fourth-grade teacup.

In the span of thirty years, Li Shiming's advancement wasn't the only one—Yin Shilan had also progressed from Nascent Soul Early Stage to Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Such swift cultivation velocity is exceptionally uncommon even among superpowers in the Cultivation World.

This accelerated pace primarily resulted from a collection of cultivation aids delivered by the Central State Commerce two decades earlier, which spared Yin Shilan considerable time in her practice.

Moreover, Li Shiming supplied her with Great Cultivator Spirit Pills, encompassing various Nascent Soul Early Stage High-level Spirit Pills and several Nascent Soul Early Stage Top-Level Spirit Pills too.

Two years back, when Li Shiming last exited seclusion, it coincided with Yin Shilan's breakthrough to Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Li Shiming then provided her with Nascent Soul Middle Stage High-level Spirit Pills, and within merely two years, Yin Shilan's foundation in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage had strengthened noticeably.

Though the 'Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique' from Luanyang Palace suits female cultivators with its mild and fitting nature, advancing in 'Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens' demands restraint from haste; proper consolidation and buildup remain essential.
