Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1770 - 931: Prestige (Part 2)

Li Shiming rarely undertakes the refinement of Nascent Soul Middle Stage Spirit Pills. While Jian Wuwei benefits from the superior resources of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, he possesses only a few more Nascent Soul Middle Stage Spirit Pills than others.

The Spirit Pills previously dispatched by Li Yuanba had already been entirely consumed by Jian Wuwei, leading to a deceleration in his cultivation progress.

"I shall not stand on ceremony!" Jian Wuwei exclaimed, procuring several jade bottles and proceeding to inspect their contents.

He was aware that Li Yuanba had recently ventured out and likely established contact with Li Shiming.

Within the jade bottles were Nascent Soul Middle Stage Fourth Grade High-level Spirit Pills, a sufficient quantity to facilitate his cultivation journey to the Great Cultivator Realm. It appeared that Li Yuanba had solicited Li Shiming's assistance in their refinement.

In the entirety of the Cultivation World, it was likely only Li Yuanba who could persuade Li Shiming to refine Nascent Soul Middle Stage Spirit Pills.

Presently, Li Shiming's stature and standing had elevated him to the position of paramount importance beneath the most powerful cultivators. He, single-handedly, had propelled the Ten Thousand Beast Sect to the unspoken status of a super power.

Li Shiming exclusively refines Great Cultivator Spirit Pills for others. Beyond that, requesting him to refine any other Spirit Pills was a daunting prospect, and merely securing an audience with him was exceedingly difficult.

Jian Wuwei then directed his attention to the final jade bottle. Upon observing the Spirit Pills contained within, his lips twitched involuntarily.

Despite his master-disciple connection with Li Yuanba, he perceived this particular gift as a rather inconvenient burden.

Inside the jade bottle lay fifty High-level Spirit Pills intended for Great Cultivators, each possessing a quality so exceptional it seemed almost mythical.

This caliber of Spirit Pills evoked memories of the similarly high-level Spirit Pills Li Shiming had concocted on the Beishu Continent.

In truth, he had long deduced that Li Shizhen and Li Shiming were, in fact, the same individual. Otherwise, it was difficult to fathom how Li Yuanba could maintain such a profound bond with Li Shizhen.

However, within the established norms of the Cultivation World, Spirit Pills of this supreme quality for Great Cultivator High-level consumption had never before materialized.

This was undoubtedly a testament to Li Shiming's genuine alchemy prowess—a quality that could incite unbridled desire in any cultivator.

One must not underestimate the impact of enhanced Spirit Pill quality. The superior the quality of a Spirit Pill, the lesser the pill toxin it produces and the more potent its cultivation benefits become.

To say nothing of these fifty Great Cultivator High-level Spirit Pills, specifically designed for Great Cultivators. Once Jian Wuwei achieved the Great Cultivator realm, his worries concerning cultivation resources would be largely alleviated for an extended period.

Although Jian Wuwei commanded significant influence within Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, his access to specialized resources for Great Cultivators was notably restricted.

The distribution and allocation plan for Great Cultivator resources acquired by Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion were meticulously defined, with clear quantity limits.

"It appears I must enter seclusion for a time. I refuse to be looked down upon!" Jian Wuwei declared, securing the jade bottles.

"Then allow me to offer my congratulations in advance for your imminent advancement to the Great Cultivator realm, Master!" Li Yuanba responded with a smile.

Li Yuanba had dispatched these Spirit Pills after careful deliberation, recognizing that Jian Wuwei's fervor for cultivation had waned somewhat, possibly influenced by his own circumstances.

Recollecting their time on the Beishu Continent, Jian Wuwei had managed to reach the Nascent Soul Early Stage despite the prevailing scarcity of spiritual energy.

The Nascent Soul Early Stage represented the zenith of cultivators on the Beishu Continent. Yet, in pursuit of loftier ambitions, he had daringly departed the Beishu Continent, braving the perilous ocean crossing.

Observing Jian Wuwei now, however, revealed a near-total preoccupation with acquiring power, leaving little room for his former passion for cultivation.

Naturally, Li Yuanba now felt empowered to present these supreme Spirit Pills. Both he and his former self, Li Shiming, had attained formidable self-protection capabilities. Consequently, even if these highest-quality Great Cultivator High-level Spirit Pills were to be exposed, it would pose no significant issue for Li Shiming at this juncture.

Upon departing Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, Li Yuanba retrieved the 'Crossing Void Shuttle'.

He entered the 'Crossing Void Shuttle', which then plunged directly into the sea.

Previously, the phantom clone had retained possession of the 'Crossing Void Shuttle' for a period without its deployment.

This excursion marked its inaugural use. Upon entering the sea, he discovered that the shuttle's cabin walls had become entirely transparent.

Observing the 'Crossing Void Shuttle' from the exterior, he noted its disappearance, with its current location precisely matching that of the surrounding waters.

The 'Crossing Void Shuttle' navigated the sea's depths, enabling him to leisurely sip spiritual tea while appreciating the marine panorama from an unparalleled vantage point.

The transparent cabin walls afforded an unobstructed vista, and the vessel's seamless integration with the ocean did not disturb the tranquility of the aquatic life.

The speed of the 'Crossing Void Shuttle' beneath the waves was considerable. Its method of navigation was the Water Escape, one of the renowned Five Elements Escape Techniques.

Every movement technique represents the pinnacle of its kind in terms of speed, with Water Escape being especially adept at navigating underwater environments.

This journey from the Central State Continent to the West Yan Continent, utilizing the 'Crossing Void Shuttle,' spanned a total of ten days.

While not matching the swiftness of the Golden Winged Dapeng or the Thunder Beast, this method of travel was twice as rapid as a typical Great Cultivator journeying by flying boat.

The objective of this expedition was a resource point that once belonged to the Yuqing Sect, where valuable Great Cultivator resources had recently reached maturity.

Naturally, this particular resource point was now under the jurisdiction of the White Emperor Sect, not the Yuqing Sect.

However, it matters little which power claims ownership of a Great Cultivator resource point; whenever the Great Cultivator resources within ripen, cultivators will inevitably converge to claim them.

This specific location boasted twenty mature Great Cultivator Spiritual Medicines, a rarity given the scarcity of such quantities lately.

Since Li Shiming commenced his public pill-refining endeavors, Great Cultivator Spiritual Medicine has ascended to become the most hotly contested spiritual commodity. To mitigate widespread conflict throughout the Cultivation World, this established method of competition for mature Great Cultivator Spiritual Medicine was implemented.

Li Yuanba retracted the 'Crossing Void Shuttle' and employed 'At a Single Bound.' His form flickered, reappearing a staggering eight thousand miles away in an instant.

Having achieved the status of a Peak Great Cultivator, the Spiritual Power Pattern within him was now sufficient for daily use of 'At a Single Bound.' Provided the travel was not intercontinental, journeys across normal distances were well within its capabilities.

With seven days still remaining until the resource point reached full maturity, Li Yuanba observed numerous Peak Great Cultivators and close to ten Great Cultivators at the peak of their current stage had already gathered as he approached.

"It's Li Yuanba! How has he reached the Peak Great Cultivator stage!"

Upon Li Yuanba's sudden appearance, keen-eyed Great Cultivators recognized him, triggering a cascade of astonished shouts.

Not long after, one Peak Great Cultivator transformed into a streak of crimson flame and rapidly retreated into the distance.

Li Yuanba couldn't help but touch his own face, questioning if his presence was truly that intimidating.

This visage was meticulously crafted by IBMz15, embodying the most flawless appearance conceivable among both mortals and cultivators.

"Ah, that must be Cui Cheng!" After activating his 'Divine Eyes,' he clearly identified the fleeing cultivator who had utilized Fire Escape, immediately comprehending the reason for his panicked flight upon sight.

Master Cui Cheng of the Infinite Sect had managed to evade him twice before; this encounter marked the third such instance.

Li Yuanba found himself admiring Master Cui Cheng's exceptional escape abilities, considering how few cultivators managed to evade him even once, let alone on three separate occasions.

"I wonder if Mr. Li has any interest in this resource point? I am prepared to withdraw my claim!" one Peak Great Cultivator declared, striving to maintain a composed demeanor while offering a respectful bow.

"My gratitude!" Li Yuanba reciprocated the bow with a smile, bestowing the utmost courtesy upon the other cultivator, even though he was unaware of the Peak Great Cultivator's identity as the latter had not announced his name.

This Peak Great Cultivator felt a sense of honor, and after uttering his words, he turned and departed.

The remaining Peak Great Cultivators, though hesitant, observed the predicament of Master Cui Cheng and recalled Li Yuanba's prior accomplishments before reaching his current stage. They collectively signaled their intentions and withdrew.

Those other Great Cultivators, not yet having reached the peak stage, required no further encouragement. They remained silent, bowed as they retreated to a safe distance, and then hastily fled.

Among the personnel guarding the resource point, the three Great Cultivators had no intention of putting up a fight. They had received instructions from the White Emperor Sect to activate the resource point's defenses only if absolutely necessary, permitting the eventual victor from outside to gather the mature Great Cultivator Spiritual Medicines.

However, they had not anticipated that with a full seven days remaining until maturity, only a single Great Cultivator would be present outside, effectively deciding the victor long before the resources were ready.
