Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 889: Chapter 491: Settling Down

In Li Shiming’s cave dwelling, he discovered the arrival of these cultivators.

The cultivators didn’t intend to meet with him and began their work right away, and Li Shiming thought about it and decided not to disturb them.

Once the Nascent Soul Level Spirit Vein was integrated into the mountain, the mountain’s formation seemed to have an energy supply and began to operate.

However, since the construction team was still around, he didn’t let the formation run completely, activating only the formations within the cave dwelling.

The life-bound magic artifact IBMz15 quickly designed a set of strengthening plans suitable for the formation, based on the situation of the cave dwelling.

The eight Fourth Grade Array Flags and three hundred and sixty-five Third Grade Array Flags played their role again, as he released them one by one, continuously enhancing the defense of the cave dwelling.

After completing the work on the cave dwelling, he used the formation to sense the construction team’s progress.

The spiritual objects placed by the construction team at the foot of the mountain were processed components, which were assembled together, completely covering the foot of the mountain.

This task took a full ten hours, making Li Shiming anxious, mainly because these Golden Core cultivators took considerable time to adjust the connections between components.

In his eyes, this work was extremely simple; if he had known the design blueprint, he could have set it up on his own in less than two hours.

When all the components were arranged properly, the Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner waved his hand, and the thirty Golden Core cultivators flew away from the mountain.

The Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner cast spells, and the spiritual objects composed of components turned into clouds and mist, the mountain shook violently and then separated from the ground, supported by the cloud mist as it ascended.

When the mountain ascended to a certain height, it finally stopped.

Seeing that their work was completed, Li Shiming flew out of the cave dwelling and approached the Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner.

”Li Shizhen thanks Patriarch!” Li Shiming said gratefully, bowing.

The Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner was momentarily stunned upon seeing Li Shiming; he hadn’t expected the owner of this mountain to be a Golden Core cultivator.

However, he didn’t underestimate Li Shiming at all, for in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, owning a floating mountain at the Nascent Soul Early Stage wasn’t unusual, but a Golden Core cultivator enjoying Nascent Soul Early Stage treatment was a different matter.

If Li Shiming had no exceptional qualities or the status equivalent to the Nascent Soul Early Stage, he certainly couldn’t own a floating mountain.

”Mr. Li, you may call me Junior Master Song; there’s no need to address me as Patriarch within the sect!” Junior Master Song smiled and waved his hand, then curiously asked, ”May I know what Mr. Li excels in?”

”Junior Master Song, I have some talent in alchemy!” Li Shiming replied with a smile.

Having joined the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, he naturally needed to perform alchemy for the Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners; the earlier people knew, the earlier orders could come in.

”So it’s Alchemy Master, may I ask when you’ll open your furnace for alchemy? I have some Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicine that needs to be refined into Spirit Pills!” Junior Master Song’s eyes lit up as he spoke.

Though the Ten Thousand Beast Sect possessed several Alchemy Masters capable of refining Nascent Soul Early Stage Spirit Pills, these Alchemy Masters were incredibly busy, especially those with high proficiency who, aside from routine alchemy, focused long-term on researching spiritual materials.

Alchemy Masters expend significant energy refining pills, so each Alchemy Master only opens their furnace after a certain interval. Combined with their necessary research, this reduces the frequency of alchemy.

Each Alchemy Master’s orders extend far into the future, requiring waits even for the refinement of Fourth Grade Spirit Pills.

Junior Master Song was somewhat impatient and, more importantly, Alchemy Masters regarded by the sect and who enjoy Nascent Soul Early Stage treatment must have extraordinary skills.

He intended to have a batch of Fourth Grade Spirit Pills refined first; if Li Shiming’s alchemy skills met expectations, he would continue to commission Li Shiming for more Fourth Grade Spirit Pills.

”There are conditions for having me open the furnace for alchemy; I require payment in Nascent Soul resources!” Li Shiming said with a smile.

Junior Master Song, rather than being surprised, was delighted; the higher the compensation Li Shiming demanded, the more confidence it showed in his own alchemical abilities.

”I happen to have a set of Nascent Soul resources; if Master Li’s skills don’t match this compensation, I will substitute it with another equivalent reward!” Junior Master Song contemplated and said.

Indeed, this is the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, a wealthy and powerful great sect; any Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioner’s hand could possess Nascent Soul resources.

Li Shiming was overjoyed inside; it seemed that joining the Ten Thousand Beast Sect was indeed the right decision.

”Of course, but I’ll need some time before I can open the furnace for alchemy, as I must first settle the cave dwelling; I’ll officially open the furnace in a month!” Li Shiming nodded in agreement.

Junior Master Song had no objections; waiting for just a month was quite brief compared to waiting multiple years for other Alchemy Masters.

After sending off Junior Master Song’s construction team, Li Shiming arrived at the foot of the mountain, examining the substance forming the cloud mist.

In his Divine Thought, these were components engraved with runes, connected together through some method.

It was impossible to analyze the principle by mere observation. Since this knowledge existed and was routinely used, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect surely had corresponding heritage.

Li Shiming further studied the mountain’s formation, discovering that it was extraordinary, crafted by a powerful Array Master.

With the computational power of the life-bound magic artifact IBMz15, after a period of analysis, the formation was reconstructed into a formation diagram. However, he had no matching formation materials on hand to further enhance it at present.
