Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1210: Chapter 651: Departure_2

In the Central State Commerce’s list of top-grade fourth-grade refining materials, the quantity is not many. Encountering even one such grade of refining material normally is extremely difficult.

Only a superpower like the Central State Commerce would have stock of so many top-grade fourth-grade refining materials.

”Thousand Thunder Tempered Gold!” He exclaimed when he saw ’Thousand Thunder Tempered Gold’, and the IBMz15, based on its vast database of resources, found the details about ’Thousand Thunder Tempered Gold’.

IBMz15 quickly provided a plan, a way to enhance the ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’.

’Thousand Thunder Tempered Gold’ is a top-grade fourth-grade refining material with a thunder attribute.

Currently, his natal artifact, the ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’, is made from the fourth-grade high-stage ’Thunder Radiance Xuan Tie’. The reason it could become a fourth-grade top-level artifact tribulation treasure is that his artifact refining techniques are immensely high-level, allowing the fourth-grade high-stage ’Thunder Radiance Xuan Tie’ to be refined into the top-level artifact movement magical treasure ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’.

The ’Thousand Thunder Tempered Gold’ is a thunder attribute refining material one grade higher than ’Thunder Radiance Xuan Tie’, making it perfect to enhance the ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’.

As for the other materials in the Central State Commerce’s list of top-grade fourth-grade refining materials, he didn’t find any suitable ones.

This is normal, as the top-grade fourth-grade refining materials he requires need to match his cultivation technique. Firstly, top-grade fourth-grade refining materials with a complete Five Elements Attribute are extremely rare, and if such a refining material exists, it wouldn’t wait for him to exchange it.

Secondly, suitable gold-type top-grade fourth-grade refining materials for Sword Cultivators are the most demanded in the cultivation world.

When talking about which attribute of refining material is most popular in the cultivation world, it must be the gold type, because the majority of cultivators will choose treasures like flying swords.

And to maximize the power of a flying sword, gold attribute refining materials are required for crafting.

The reason he could find ’Thousand Thunder Tempered Gold’ is because it’s a thunder attribute top-grade fourth-grade refining material, which is relatively less in demand in the Central State Commerce, mainly because the number of cultivators practicing thunder attribute cultivation methods is small.

Li Shiming directly spent three hundred and twenty thousand contribution points to exchange for a piece of ’Thousand Thunder Tempered Gold’.

After exchanging for ’Thousand Thunder Tempered Gold’, he could provide a location for the Central State Commerce to have someone deliver it or go to the Central State Commerce headquarters to collect it himself.

He thought about it and decided to take this opportunity to visit the Central State Commerce headquarters, as he, being a Guest Elder of the Central State Commerce, had never seen the headquarters before.

Not to mention the headquarters, he had only seen the one simple branch at the Fuhua Islands.

Looking at the map, the Central State Commerce headquarters was closer, while Qiu Hengyi’s treasure location was much farther away.

Since Qiu Hengyi’s treasure would still be there, he decided to first visit the Central State Commerce headquarters.

He changed his direction and flew towards the Central State Commerce headquarters.

Seeing that it would take four more days to reach the destination, he once again checked other exchangeable cultivation resources through the Guest Official Jade Plate.

He discovered, to his surprise, that through the Central State Commerce’s contribution points, he could also exchange for sacred texts.

However, the exchanged sacred texts could only be viewed in the corresponding Book Collection Pavilion of the Central State Commerce and could not be taken out.

Li Shiming wasn’t surprised by this; the vast majority of sects have such rules. Sacred texts are the foundation of a sect, and every sect guards against the outflow of these texts.

The list of sacred texts was extremely long, ranging from cultivation methods to the legacies of various cultivation professions, with everything one could wish for, and the levels of these texts were not low.

As he browsed, he placed selected text names aside, formation, alchemy, artifact refining, five elements, sword cultivation, thunder cultivation, etc. Any sacred text related to his cultivation, he selected.

After calculating at the end, he was startled to realize that the selected texts required one million two hundred thousand contribution points.

This was almost equivalent to the value of four top-grade fourth-grade refining materials. It’s important to know that sacred texts cannot be taken; one can only memorize them mentally, and the Central State Commerce incurs no cost.

”It’s really pricey!” he muttered, but his hands didn’t stop as he spent one million two hundred thousand contribution points. Now he had less than eight hundred thousand contribution points left.

Although these texts required a tremendous amount of contribution points, in the cultivation world, knowledge is priceless.

The one million two hundred thousand contribution points he spent would result in more knowledge reserve for him and his clone, Li Yuanba, and a stronger foundation.

In this regard, he wasn’t stingy. After all, the Central State Commerce was a superpower, and the knowledge in formations, alchemy, artifact refining, five elements, sword cultivation, and thunder cultivation greatly expanded IBMz15’s database.

As he drew nearer to the Central State Commerce headquarters, he found that there were more and more Flying Boats marked with the Central State Commerce insignia.

Among these Flying Boats, there were long-distance Flying Boats, as well as various medium and large Flying Boats, while the number of small Flying Boats was relatively few.

This was understandable; small Flying Boats are generally used for long-distance travel, while for short distances, the flying cultivators are still accustomed to using flying treasures.

Li Shiming slowed down the speed of the ’Blue Crystal Cloud-breaking Boat’, as his ’Divine Sight Ability’ detected a barrier ahead.

When the ’Blue Crystal Cloud-breaking Boat’ touched the barrier, a consciousness reached out, requesting proof of identity.

He took out the Guest Official Jade Plate, which opened a passageway for him through the barrier.

He put away the ’Blue Crystal Cloud-breaking Boat’ and passed through the passage.

After entering the passage, he felt as if he were within a Grotto Heaven barrier, similar to the Grotto Heaven barrier of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, all utilizing the abilities of the Grotto Heaven, placing the entire mountain gate within the Grotto Heaven’s protective space.

Even though he was a thousand miles from the Central State Commerce headquarters, he had already noticed differences between here and the mountain gates of other sects he had seen.

The spiritual power within the barrier was extremely dense, and what met the eye were expansive spirit fields.

These weren’t ordinary spirit fields; all of them were at least third-grade spirit fields.

There were quite a few fourth-grade spirit fields as well. It was unclear which methods the Central State Commerce used to achieve large-scale planting of fourth-grade spirit fields.

It’s crucial to know that the production of fourth-grade resources requires many special conditions, thus creating resources points that are vitally important to cultivation forces.

Each resource point is a production site for resources with special conditions.

In order to plant fourth-grade resources extensively, numerous spirit plant-related challenges are involved, and even in some sect’s mountain gates, fourth-grade spirit fields are scarce and constructed with immense resources.

If one calculated according to the standards of those fourth-grade spirit fields, the resources required for the fourth-grade spirit fields Li Shiming saw would be astronomical.

Of course, as his perception indicated, the spiritual medicine planted in these fourth-grade spirit fields were all fourth-grade spiritual medicine needed by Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners.

Li Shiming couldn’t help but marvel at the wealth of the Central State Commerce, and he hadn’t even seen what the headquarters looked like. Just this glimpse of the seemingly endless high-grade spirit fields left him incredulous.

At least for Li Shiming right now, he was staring blankly, as the impact was immense.

However, the passing cultivators beside him had already grown accustomed to the scene before him, and upon seeing his expression, they all gave him a friendly smile.

They could all understand Li Shiming, as when they first saw so many third and fourth-grade spirit fields, they hadn’t reacted any stronger than he did.

Li Shiming awoke from his shock and continued to fly while taking in this rare scene.

Within the spirit fields, Spirit Plant Masters occasionally applied spirit rain to water them, and these Spirit Plant Masters were of very high levels, with many being able to be called Spirit Plant Masters.

He finally understood why there were so many Nascent Soul Cultivators in the cultivation world, as with such Spirit Plant technology, at least the resources for the Nascent Soul early stage were guaranteed.

With sufficient resource assurance, naturally, there were more Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners.

Li Shiming had previously been satisfied with his ’Mountain and River Qiankun Fan’, which internally housed third and fourth-grade spirit fields. The ’Mountain and River Qiankun Fan’ could harvest fourth-grade spiritual medicine every thirty years and third-grade spiritual medicine annually.

Now he understood, however, that for a superpower, a treasure like the ’Mountain and River Qiankun Fan’ was merely a child’s plaything.
