Previously on Cultivation is just so scientific!...
Li Shiming's status and the Ten Thousand Beast Sect have risen dramatically due to his pill refining. Great Powers now frequently visit the Dongqi Continent seeking his services, offering substantial compensation. He has accepted two disciples: Hu Sheng, a talented descendant of Grandmaster Hu, and Jian Jiuming, a descendant of the Jian Family. Li Shiming's own cultivation progresses smoothly amidst these peaceful developments.

When Little Feng and Illusion Spirit Dragon reached the half-step Fifth Grade Peak, they also obtained the breakthrough method for the fourth grade from their bloodline inheritance.

The method is very simple. Little Feng needs to find the Fifth Grade Flames to devour them, using the Fifth Grade Flames for Nirvana and thereby advancing to the fifth grade.

As for the Illusion Spirit Dragon, it requires the Fifth Grade Spirit Water.

Over the years, Li Shiming has been searching for methods to promote Little Feng and Illusion Spirit Dragon, as well as other spiritual pets.

He had previously considered it from the perspective of alchemy, which is not surprising, as being the most powerful Alchemy Master in the world, he naturally thought about solving the problem through alchemy.

He even researched a lot of ancient elixir recipes to concoct spirit pills to assist the spiritual pets in their promotion, redesigning the spirit pills using knowledge from both modern and ancient Alchemy Dao.

Unfortunately, this work has not progressed much, mainly because Fifth Grade Spiritual Medicines are very singular. Those he accessed were Fifth Grade Spiritual Medicines usable by human cultivators.

However, spiritual pet advancement spirit pills naturally require various special Fifth Grade Spiritual Medicines.

He never imagined the solution would be so simple.

In the bloodline inheritance of the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan, there lies the breakthrough methods.

Other spirit animals, such as Thunder Beast, Golden Winged Dapeng, etc., due to not yet reaching the required realm, cannot provide answers.

Little Feng and Illusion Spirit Dragon’s rapid increase in strength should be attributed to Cultivation World’s research on Dragon Phoenix, like Little Feng has the elixir recipes from Luanyang Palace.

With Li Shiming’s financial resources, he can provide Little Feng with enough spirit pills.

Regarding Illusion Spirit Dragon, the situation is similar, as sects like Ten Thousand Beast Sect, which specialize in Dragon Clan research, are abundant in Cultivation World.

With his status and influence, any power would eagerly present the relevant texts upon his request.

This showcases the influence of a Great Power, especially a Free Great Power capable of mobilizing several powerful forces.

Who would dare disregard him, even top-tier powers would consider carefully.

In the ’Thunder Prison’, Little Feng flew above Li Shiming’s head, emitting anxious cries.

Illusion Spirit Dragon, on the other hand, was much quieter, invisibly beside Li Shiming, though through their contract, he could still sense Illusion Spirit Dragon’s desire for breakthrough.

Every life instinctively seeks to surpass itself, even when the chance of success is minimal, it still proceeds resolutely.

"Little Feng, these two ’Hundred Herbs Pills’ are for your backup, reserve a portion of the Fifth Grade ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ for a seed, don’t consume it all!" Li Shiming said, taking out the two ’Hundred Herbs Pills’ and a blossom of ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ for Little Feng.

The Fifth Grade ’Infinite Immortal Fire’, now he established an environment solely for ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ preparation within a Grotto Heaven.

Had he not wished to avoid expending a vast amount of energy to split new ’Infinite Immortal Fire’, there wouldn’t just be this one bloom of ’Infinite Immortal Fire’.

Yet, this bloom of ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ is much stronger than before, with Li Shiming’s Five Elements Rules incorporating Fire Rules, effectively strengthening the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’.

Upon spotting the Fifth Grade ’Infinite Immortal Fire’, Little Feng excitedly dashed over.

Its wisdom is exceptionally high; first, it swallowed the two ’Hundred Herbs Pills’ eagerly, then gently pecked at the Fifth Grade ’Infinite Immortal Fire’, consuming half of it.

Li Shiming hastily retrieved the remaining Fifth Grade ’Infinite Immortal Fire’, sending it to the Grotto Heaven for recuperation.

This half of ’Infinite Immortal Fire’, he would need to expend at least ten years of Cave Heaven Energy for full recovery.

But compared to Little Feng’s promotion, this is worthwhile.

Upon devouring the Fifth Grade ’Infinite Immortal Fire’, Little Feng’s feathers transformed into flames, and the flames contracted back into its body.

The beautiful Little Feng turned into a featherless chicken in moments, losing all its majesty instantly.

Li Shiming resisted the urge to laugh, knowing he mustn’t laugh now, lest Little Feng bears grudges for long.

Inside Little Feng, the Fifth Grade ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ continually devoured Little Feng’s ’Nirvana Fire’, to say devour is inaccurate, it should be termed fusion.

The ’Infinite Immortal Fire’, after merging with ’Nirvana Fire’, also acquires the traits of ’Nirvana Fire’, incorporating the ownership attribute of ’Nirvana Fire’ into ’Infinite Immortal Fire’.

Completely fused with ’Nirvana Fire’, the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ can no longer be classified as ’Infinite Immortal Fire’; it should be called Fifth Grade ’Infinite Nirvana Immortal Fire’.

The ’Infinite Nirvana Immortal Fire’ within Little Feng increased steadily, stopping at a bottleneck, after some time, the bottleneck broke, and ’Infinite Nirvana Immortal Fire’ consumed its body.

Amidst the ’Infinite Nirvana Immortal Fire’, its body burned wholly, each Phoenix cry was not mournful from the burning, but filled with thrill in the phoenix’s call.

Li Shiming observed Little Feng closely; knowing that in the process of promotion, even if complications arise, his assistance would be limited.

As Little Feng’s body burned away, its body became increasingly smaller until it turned into ashes amid the flames, leaving only a hint of spiritual light.

Had Li Shiming not been able to perceive the contract’s presence, he might have assumed Little Feng had perished.

Within the ’Infinite Nirvana Immortal Fire’, the flames gathered toward the center.

A faint silhouette formed from the flames, accompanied by a familiar Phoenix cry, Little Feng emerged from the ’Infinite Nirvana Immortal Fire’.

This time, Little Feng appeared smaller, but with life energy incredibly vibrant, as if truly newly born.

At this moment, the energy generated by the two ’Hundred Herbs Pills’ emerged inside Little Feng, it absorbed this massive energy, its body expanded as it flew.

Little Feng’s strength advanced from the initial third grade to now half-step fifth grade, continually rising.

Li Shiming could perceive that Little Feng’s physique strengthened to fifth-grade level in this Nirvana, with Fifth Grade ’Infinite Nirvana Immortal Fire’ inside, as long as it returns to its peak state, its realm would naturally ascend to fifth grade.

Originally, Little Feng needed a long period of accumulation after Nirvana to recover its strength and breakthroughs to fifth grade.

But the two ’Hundred Herbs Pills’ resolved Little Feng’s predicament smoothly, restoring it to its peak state.

Surrounding its ’Infinite Nirvana Immortal Fire’, with a cry, it transformed into feathers flying toward its body.

The ’Infinite Nirvana Immortal Fire’ vanished entirely, morphing into Little Feng’s beautiful feather plumage.

At this moment, Little Feng’s aura reached fifth grade.

Li Shiming, with a wave of his hand, unleashed ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skills recklessly upon it, followed by a ’Thunder Resistance Secret Method’.

He didn’t stop there but issued a strict order to Little Feng, forbidding any reckless behavior during tribulation.

Heavenly Tribulation is not to be provoked; any slight provocation brings harsh retaliation from the heavens, increasing the Heavenly Thunder’s intensity.

When the Heavenly Tribulation arrived, Li Shiming felt relieved, the thunderclouds above indicating limited Heavenly Tribulation force.

This is the benefit of respecting the heavens, further aided by Li Shiming, Little Feng faced minimal obstacles during tribulation.

Little Feng stayed on the ground, not soaring into the sky, facing the series of Heavenly Thunder directly.

Only after the last stroke of Heavenly Thunder finished did it emit an excited cry, soaring skyward.

Heaven and Earth Reward Energy descended, bathed Little Feng everywhere, the most vital aspect being its Phoenix Clan bloodline was reinforced.

At Little Feng’s current level, bloodline enhancements are hard-earned; bloodline is linked to Little Feng’s overall power.

With the disappearance of Heaven and Earth Reward Energy, the newly fifth-grade Little Feng triumphantly flew back above Li Shiming, projecting its fifth-grade aura towards Illusion Spirit Dragon, forcing it out of invisibility.

Illusion Spirit Dragon discontentedly sent a dragon roar towards Little Feng, followed by shaking its tail at Li Shiming, conveying its obvious intention.

It pleaded with Li Shiming to swiftly aid its promotion to fifth grade.

It followed Li Shiming much earlier than Little Feng, usually somewhat suppressing Little Feng, but today Little Feng’s fifth-grade advancement placed it under pressure.
