Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 991: Chapter 542: Ore

In two months, Li Shiming completed his alchemy. Crafting a Nascent Soul Early Stage Fourth-grade Spirit Pill took relatively less time, and with two pill furnaces working simultaneously, although the number of pills was a bit extensive, he still finished everything within two months.

During this period, through Li Si, batches of fourth-grade spirit pills were delivered to the Nascent Soul cultivators who came to retrieve them, further enhancing his reputation.

With some free time, he fished out Ren Xun’s mustard seed ring, almost having forgotten about this ring.

Primarily because it belonged to a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator from the Skywalk Trading Company, which he genuinely didn’t care about, even with Jin Kai’s mustard seed ring, there weren’t many spiritual objects he thought highly of.

Today, he just happened to be sorting out the mustard seed rings, organizing some resources.

In Ren Xun’s mustard seed ring, there indeed wasn’t anything that amazed him, but an unexpected event occurred.

A strange alert sound emitted, resonating in his mind.

This was the natal magical treasure IBMz15 sending a reminder to Li Shiming. When he heard this alert sound, he was initially taken aback and then remembered what the alert was about.

A long time ago, he had set a command on his natal magical treasure IBMz15 to automatically scan objects with uranium radiation.

From Beishu Continent to the Dongqi Continent, and even after experiencing several grotto heavens, he hadn’t discovered the existence of uranium ore, almost believing that there was no uranium ore in the cultivation world.

Today, however, his natal magical treasure IBMz15 issued an alert. Carefully, he used his divine sense to search within the mustard seed ring and quickly discovered a green gem.

The green gem unexpectedly bore a fourth-grade aura, a fourth-grade material, but according to the scan by IBMz15, it contained a high concentration of uranium.

In the cultivation world, uranium ore, influenced by spiritual energy and the environment, had become a spiritual object.

It was uncertain whether all uranium ore became spiritual objects or if only a small portion transformed into spiritual objects.

If all uranium ore were spiritual objects, especially if all were fourth-grade spiritual items, then obtaining a large quantity of uranium ore would be extremely difficult for him.

There are very few fourth-grade spiritual items, and the amount of uranium ore he needs is measured in tons, hundreds of tons. Even Li Shiming, being an alchemy master, couldn’t obtain it alone.

He shook his head. No matter what, as long as this world has uranium ore, there is hope.

Li Shiming carefully took out a tin-alloy, crafted a sealed box for this fourth-grade uranium ore, and added a jade isolation box on the outside of the sealed box.

Although he was already a Nascent Soul cultivator, when the fourth-grade uranium ore was taken out, he still felt the effect of the radiation, which penetrated his defensive spiritual power pattern.

He had a feeling that long-term exposure to the fourth-grade uranium ore might cause mysterious effects.

The radiation from this uranium ore already exceeded that of the previous life, as could be judged from the data from his natal magical treasure IBMz15.

If the highest concentration of uranium ore from his past life had radiation valued at one, then this current fourth-grade uranium ore had a radiation value of one hundred. Most frighteningly, the fourth-grade quality made this radiation something even Nascent Soul cultivators couldn’t completely block.

This isolation doesn’t mean that Nascent Soul cultivators have no means of isolation, but rather that relying on defensive means alone cannot achieve isolation.

In the records of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, he had never seen an introduction to fourth-grade uranium ore. The name of this fourth-grade uranium ore was one he derived from his previous life.

He thought for a moment and sent a spell message to his master, Grandmaster Hu, asking if he was available. After receiving an affirmative response, he flew towards the Four Symbols Cave Heaven.

Flying above the sect, he noticed something unusual about the atmosphere within the sect.

Upon arriving outside the peak of his master’s Four Symbols Cave Heaven, the formation of the mountain peak had already been activated. After entering, he saw the avatar of Grandmaster Hu.

”Master!” Regardless of whether it was an avatar, Li Shiming greeted respectfully.

”Shizhen, you really went to take a look at the spiritual beast tide but didn’t stay there long, thus avoiding trouble!” Grandmaster Hu laughed, helping him up.

Grandmaster Hu had been keeping an eye on Li Shiming. After Li Shiming had shaken off the cultivators tracking him, and appeared at the spirit beast tide, he received a report.

Surprisingly, Li Shiming didn’t stay long at the spirit beast tide before leaving and soon returned to the sect.

”Master, did something happen at the spirit beast tide?” Hearing this, Li Shiming knew something had occurred with the spiritual beast tide and quickly asked.

”It’s the Gu Feng Sect attempting to seize the spiritual beast tide, injuring multiple Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners with a surprise attack. My true self and Old Ding have gone to handle it!” Grandmaster Hu replied without concealment.

Li Shiming had heard of the Gu Feng Sect, a major sect from the South Zhao Continent, which had also extended its reach to the Dongqi Continent, considered a cross-continental force on the Dongqi Continent.

Since the resources needed by the Gu Feng Sect didn’t conflict much with those of the four major native sects, as long as Gu Feng Sect didn’t overdo things in the Dongqi Continent, the four major sects wouldn’t interfere much.

He hadn’t anticipated that the Gu Feng Sect would contend with the Ten Thousand Beast Sect over the interests of the spiritual beast tide. After this conflict, the relationship between the two sects would likely deteriorate immediately.

On the Dongqi Continent, resources were already allocated. Even if the Ten Thousand Beast Sect seemed to solely benefit from the spiritual beast tide, there were actually compromises and interest exchanges with the other three large native sects behind the scenes.
