Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1248: Chapter 670: Yimu (Part 2)

Another two Intermediate Fourth Grade Spirit Pills for a Great Cultivator. If Great Cultivator Mao Jing were to refuse, even his own heart wouldn’t agree.

”In ten days, there will be an opportunity for inheritance, and I’m giving this opportunity to you!” He said heavily, taking the jade bottle into his hand.

”Thank you, Mr. Mao. If it weren’t related to my cultivation path, I wouldn’t have forced the issue!” Great Cultivator Luo Pei thanked with a helpless smile.

Great Cultivator Mao Jing nodded understandingly. As a great cultivator himself, he deeply understood Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s feelings.

”I’ll arrange a cave residence for Mr. Luo to rest. You can receive the inheritance in ten days!” he arranged for Great Cultivator Luo Pei.

The same Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner who led before, brought Great Cultivator Luo Pei to a guest cave residence prepared especially for great cultivators.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei entered the cave residence, surveyed the surroundings, and casually tossed out multiple Fourth Grade Array Flags to enhance the formation of this cave.

The one controlling Great Cultivator Luo Pei is Li Shiming. It’s likely only Li Shiming in the cultivation world could be so generous, trading five Intermediate Fourth Grade Spirit Pills for a seemingly hopeless divine skill inheritance opportunity.

These Intermediate Fourth Grade Spirit Pills for great cultivators are indeed of extremely high value, but they were merely by-products of Li Shiming’s alchemy.

When refining a batch of Fourth Grade Spirit Pills for great cultivators, the great cultivator receives two pills, while he gets four. For him, Intermediate Fourth Grade Spirit Pills hold no value for consumption.

Unless he truly had no pills to use, he would not use Intermediate Fourth Grade Spirit Pills for cultivation.

Moreover, exchanging Fourth Grade Spirit Pills for a chance to inherit the Wood Element Divine Power ’Innate Wood’ seems like a loss to outsiders, but he finds it extremely worthwhile.

From the Fire Element Divine Power ’Nanming Leaving Fire’, to the Earth Element Divine Power ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’, and then to the Gold Element Divine Power ’Sanmei Divine Wind’, he had already mastered three Five Elements Divine Techniques.

Add to that the ’Divine Foot Skill’, ’Divine Eye’, and ’Telepathy’, his confidence in obtaining a divine skill inheritance is perhaps unmatched in the entire cultivation world.

To him, the probability of inheriting the Wood Element Divine Power ’Innate Wood’ is over ninety percent.

With ten days, Li Shiming manipulated Great Cultivator Luo Pei to cultivate the ’Black Water Flood Sky Skill’. Each practice of the ’Black Water Flood Sky Skill’ would enhance his comprehension of the water element.

If not for the brevity of time, he would have planned to isolate himself for a good period of contemplation.

Ten days in cultivation truly passes in an instant.

Awakened by a communication technique spell, he restrained his internal energy. Since he hadn’t entered deep cultivation, finishing his practice was quite easy.

Opening the communication technique spell, it was a message from Great Cultivator Mao Jing, inviting him to receive the Wood Element Divine Power ’Innate Wood’ inheritance test.

He flew out of the cave residence, seeing Great Cultivator Mao Jing standing in the air.

”Mr. Luo, how was your rest?” Great Cultivator Mao Jing asked with a smile.

His attitude was because he had carefully examined the five Intermediate Fourth Grade Spirit Pills; although of Intermediate Grade quality, they were just a hair’s breadth from high-grade quality.

Such Intermediate Fourth Grade Spirit Pills for great cultivators, if out in the world, each could at least be exchanged for four pills. Of course, anyone obtaining such Fourth Grade Spirit Pills wouldn’t trade them, but use them themselves.

He felt indebted to Great Cultivator Luo Pei, thus his warm demeanor.

”Thanks to Mr. Mao, I’m in peak condition, confident of successful comprehension in one go!” Great Cultivator Luo Pei replied with a smile.

”Mr. Luo, if you can’t pass the inheritance test, don’t force it. Although the inheritance test won’t bring about death, it does impact the spirit!” Great Cultivator Mao Jing couldn’t help but remind.

He had little hope that Great Cultivator Luo Pei would successfully receive the Wood Element Divine Power ’Innate Wood’ inheritance. His reminder was simply in acknowledgment of the five Intermediate Fourth Grade Spirit Pills given by Great Cultivator Luo Pei.

Never mind Mr. Luo being a water element cultivator; even core cultivators from powerful sects, specifically trained for the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill, seldom pass the ’Innate Wood’ inheritance test.

On average, only once every four to five hundred years does a cultivator receive the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill inheritance, and the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill inheritance test occurs once every ten years.

Based on the conditions of those who inherited the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill, almost all were cultivators specially trained from youth to receive the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill.

”Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Mao, I’ll be careful!” Great Cultivator Luo Pei gratefully smiled.

Led by Great Cultivator Mao Jing, Great Cultivator Luo Pei followed him into a grotto heaven.

Upon entering the grotto heaven, Great Cultivator Luo Pei felt a dense and intense wood element spiritual energy, and even the air carried a faint green hue.

Great Cultivator Mao Jing smiled at Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s amazed expression, knowing that Mr. Luo was a loose cultivator and even a loose cultivator who had lost his foundation.

No matter how much the Fuliu Sect might decline, it was beyond the reach of a loose cultivator like Great Cultivator Luo Pei.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei intentionally behaved this way. Controlled by Li Shiming, Luo Pei himself owned two grotto heavens, not to mention he had witnessed many more.

The only distinctive feature of this grotto heaven was its purity of the wood element, created specifically for cultivators practicing wood element techniques.

”This is the inheritance place, Mr. Luo. You have ten hours for comprehension. Exceed this time, and it’s considered a failure. You will be sent out of the grotto heaven!” Great Cultivator Mao Jing instructed upon bringing Great Cultivator Luo Pei to the destination.

Before Great Cultivator Luo Pei stood an ancient tree, its branches lush and filled with vitality.

Li Shiming had a feeling that the ancient tree was intricately linked to the grotto heaven, as if the grotto heaven centered around it.

He couldn’t help but shake his head. If not for Fuliu Sect’s decline, how could such a grotto heaven core area be open to external cultivators?

Like the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s Four Symbols Cave Heaven or the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s Sword Cave Heaven, unless they’re extremely close allies, entry is impossible.

He controlled Great Cultivator Luo Pei to sit cross-legged before the ancient tree. Of course, it wasn’t truly Luo Pei receiving the inheritance, but himself.

The way to receive the inheritance was quite simple: replace Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s Water Thunder Nascent Soul with a Wood Thunder Nascent Soul.

The Wood Thunder Nascent Soul, in Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s body, uses its divine sense to enter the ancient tree and substitutes for Luo Pei to receive the inheritance.

He had observed that even if cultivators outside were monitoring, they couldn’t detect his maneuvers.

Who would think that a great cultivator would place another’s Nascent Soul beside their own, effectively exposing all their secrets and entrusting their life to another?

The Wood Thunder Nascent Soul’s divine sense reached out and connected with the ancient tree, which led his divine sense towards the tree’s core.

When the divine sense touched a piece of crystalline spirit wood at the tree’s heart, his consciousness perceived entering an illusion.

He became a seed, with rain falling from the sky. Under the rain’s nourishment, the seed sprouted.

The seed grew into a small tree, followed by a long process of growth.

During this time, aside from animals and birds, and natural elements like wind, thunder, rain, and snow, nothing else occurred.

Lonesomeness filled the small tree and continued as it grew into a big tree.

This was a nearly endless journey of solitude. The inheritance test was not constant; each inheritor experienced a test resonating with themselves.

Moreover, after each inheritance test, the test’s content would be erased from memory until revisited in detail later.

Li Shiming encountered the ’Innate Wood’ test’s simplest, yet most difficult challenge; simplicity in having no trouble but difficulty in endless time and extreme solitude.
