Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 817: Chapter 455: Ideas

”Shiming, later have your attendant request the sect to send a Spirit Plant Master over. With the Nascent Soul level spirit vein here, you can develop many acres of third-grade spiritual field on this mountain!” Fan Ancestor retracted his hand and said with a smile to Li Shiming.

”Thank you, Grandmaster, thank you, Granduncle!” Li Shiming felt the change in Spiritual Energy on Sword Holding Peak, and joy filled his heart as he bowed in gratitude.

”No need to thank, this is what you deserve. Also, your permissions have been upgraded!” Elder Zuo waved his hand and said.

Li Shiming took out his Identity Jade Disc and discovered that his permissions had indeed been upgraded, rising from the elder level to the Supreme Elder level, which is the Nascent Soul Ancestor’s level.

However, he found that due to his current cultivation level, he was still unable to access the Nascent Soul level Book Collection Pavilion.

”Grandmaster, could you perhaps grant me access to the Nascent Soul level Book Collection Pavilion? I wish to broaden my knowledge!” Li Shiming put away his Identity Jade Disc and asked Fan Ancestor with a smile.

”You’re not at the right level yet; visiting the Nascent Soul level Book Collection Pavilion won’t be much use and might even impact your cultivation!” Fan Ancestor frowned and said.

He noticed the firm look in Li Shiming’s eyes and felt somewhat helpless, realizing that if Li Shiming couldn’t access Nascent Soul level knowledge from the sect, he could always obtain it through alchemy outside the sect.

In that case, not only would Li Shiming be displeased, but his gains would also be decreased.

If Li Shiming’s reward was taken as Nascent Soul level knowledge, then other rewards would be reduced; requesting Li Shiming to perform alchemy would be a fourth-grade reward.

”Never mind, with your capabilities, there’s no harm in accessing Nascent Soul level knowledge earlier. I’ll grant you the appropriate permissions, but do ensure you only read and never attempt the Nascent Soul level Secret Techniques!” Fan Ancestor reconsidered and said.

”I understand and will not do so. At my current level, attempting Nascent Soul level Secret Techniques would cause a backlash to my body!” Li Shiming promised with a smile.

”As long as you understand!” Fan Ancestor said while adjusting Li Shiming’s permissions.

Since Ancestor Lou was refining the medicinal power right there, Fan Ancestor, Elder Zuo, and Li Shiming did not leave; instead, they stood by, chatting while waiting.

Not long after, Li Shiming sensed a change in Ancestor Lou’s aura.

Fan Ancestor waved his hand, dispelling the barrier protecting Ancestor Lou, revealing Ancestor Lou within, who was opening his eyes.

”Haha, my injuries have mostly healed; in two or three years, they should be completely recovered. Master Li, I, Lou Song, am grateful!” Ancestor Lou laughed heartily, approached Li Shiming, and bowed in salutation.

Everyone could sense the difference in him just from his aura.

”Please rise, Ancestor Lou, I noticed from your aura that if you were to take another Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pill, your injuries should completely heal!” Li Shiming hurried forward to offer his support and said.

”Such an effective Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pill shouldn’t be wasted like this; it’s just two or three years, and I don’t even need to go into seclusion for recuperation. As long as I don’t fight with full force, there won’t be any impact!” Ancestor Lou shook his head and said.

He had no intention of taking another Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pill. After using one, his injuries were mostly healed, giving him a deeper appreciation for the pill’s effects.

This Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pill is nearly equivalent to a lifeline for a Nascent Soul Ancestor, allowing recovery of part of one’s battle strength and reducing injuries when severely wounded.

To waste a Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pill for a mere two or three years of recovery, Ancestor Lou had no such extravagant notion.

”Shiming, keep that Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pill safe. The Uncertain Soil Ganoderma, a Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicine for refining such a pill, is extremely rare. Given its effectiveness, its value is exceedingly high!” Fan Ancestor reminded.

He feared that Li Shiming might not realize the pill’s preciousness and would trade it away or be swindled by the Beishu Trading Company.

Though Li Shiming’s current level means he can’t use a Fourth-grade Healing Spirit Pill, he and Elder Zuo certainly might need one.

If both of them, as Nascent Soul Ancestors, are gravely injured, would Li Shiming begrudge that pill?

”Yes, Grandmaster!” Li Shiming replied.

”Mr. Lou, since you can now move without trouble, let’s soon head to Yongle Island and meet with Elder Jin Kai!” Elder Zuo said to Ancestor Lou at this time.

Recently, the six major sects have mobilized all intelligence networks, yet no traces of You Xia and Sun Ao, the two Great Elders, have been found. He felt something might be amiss with their current approach, which warranted discussing with Elder Jin Kai.

Initially, given Ancestor Lou’s injuries, the Earth Evil Sect would have sent another Nascent Soul Ancestor. However, since his injuries were stable, it would be preferable for Ancestor Lou to go.

Ancestor Lou had shared adversity with Elder Jin Kai of the Skywalk Trading Company, especially as Ancestor Lou had suffered severe injuries, which Elder Jin Kai owed him for.

”No problem, as long as there’s no combat, it’s all fine!” Ancestor Lou understood Elder Zuo’s intent and replied with a smile.

Ancestor Lou and Elder Zuo took their leave first, with Ancestor Lou expressing his gratitude to Li Shiming multiple times as he departed.

This time, he indeed owed Li Shiming a considerable favor, even though he had offered compensation and Li Shiming had taken a share of the Fourth-grade Spirit Pill.

But if following Li Shiming’s protocol for alchemy, even with Elder Zuo and Fan Ancestor’s assistance, it would take until the next month for the pill to be concocted.

Li Shiming was significantly depleted of energy to concoct his Fourth-grade Spirit Pill, a favor he must not forget.
