Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1253: Chapter 673: Settling Down

Upon entering the Treasure Pavilion, Li Shiming did not extend his Divine Sense but rather relied on his connection with Great Cultivator Luo Pei to observe the situation inside.

This type of Treasure Pavilion controlled by an Artifact Spirit is best approached with caution, lest revealing any flaw results in troublesome consequences.

The Treasure Pavilion is divided into four tiers, namely the lower, middle, high, and top-tier quality Spiritual Objects.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei wasted no time on the first three tiers and proceeded directly to the fourth tier.

Upon entering the fourth tier, he was astonished by the foundation of the Fuliu Sect.

The walls of the fourth tier are carved with recessed holes, each holding a Spiritual Object, all of which are top-tier fourth-grade quality.

Even Li Shiming, with some experience, was shocked by the foundation of the Fuliu Sect; there were nearly forty top-tier fourth-grade Spiritual Objects here.

The majority consisted of top-tier fourth-grade magical items, more than thirty, while the rest included some special treasures with only four pieces of top-tier fourth-grade refining materials.

It’s understandable; while top-tier fourth-grade magical items are excellent, for Nascent Soul Cultivators, unless the refining skill far exceeds their level, ready-made top-tier fourth-grade magical items are not as favorable as magical treasures refined using top-tier fourth-grade refining materials.

Moreover, the sect’s cultivators could exchange the top-tier fourth-grade magical items acquired externally for contribution points, thus accumulating a large number of such magical items became normal.

Li Shiming was astonished that this is the state of the Fuliu Sect after declining for thousands of years; imagine how many top-tier fourth-grade Spiritual Objects the sect or the superpowers in the Central State Continent would possess during their prime!

Great Cultivator Luo Pei focused on the four top-tier fourth-grade refining materials, with no wood or gold element present: one earth element, one water element top-tier fourth-grade refining material, and two top-tier materials obtained from fourth-grade upper stage spiritual beasts.

Most Fuliu Sect cultivators are of wood element, so the absence of wood element materials is normal, and gold element magical items can be refined into universal flying swords, thus having the highest application rate, making the absence of these materials understandable.

Without hesitation, given the choice of a top-tier fourth-grade material, upon realizing that none of the materials were suitable for either Li Shiming’s main body or his avatar Li Yuanba, he prepared a water element top-tier fourth-grade refining material for Great Cultivator Luo Pei.

He placed the Great Cultivator Jade Disc on the formation protecting the water element top-tier fourth-grade refining material, causing the protective formation to disappear and retrieved the material within.

He felt the coldness upon touching it and recognized it as ’Cold Ice Secret Gold,’ a top-tier fourth-grade water element material.

’Cold Ice Secret Gold’ is a unique icy crystalline structure with metallic properties, thus suitable for refining water element flying swords.

’Cold Ice Secret Gold’ aligns with Great Cultivator Luo Pei’s attributes, prompting Li Shiming to decide on using it to refine a water element flying sword spiritual treasure.

With such a spiritual treasure, Great Cultivator Luo Pei could compensate for any lack in combat power, reaching at least the level of a regular Great Cultivator.

He glanced again at the top-tier fourth-grade earth element refining material, having some thoughts on it as well.

In the future, when having sufficient contribution points, he would verify if the earth element material was still present and, if so, exchange it.

Upon exiting the Treasure Pavilion, Great Cultivator Hu Shiming had no questions, which was unnecessary; he could query using his own Great Cultivator privileges to know what Great Cultivator Luo Pei took from the pavilion.

He was already aware of Luo Pei’s retrieval of ’Cold Ice Secret Gold,’ which wasn’t surprising; being a water element Great Cultivator, it would be odd not to choose ’Cold Ice Secret Gold’ but another material.

He acquainted Great Cultivator Luo Pei with the Book Collection Pavilion, although not allowing him entry this time, saving it for another day when Luo Pei had time.

Ultimately, he escorted Great Cultivator Luo Pei out of Yimu Cave Heaven, arriving at the Fuliu Sect’s mountain gate and stopping before a central peak.

”Junior Brother Luo, this mountain will be your abode. If you need an Array Master, feel free to apply through the sect. Moreover, for materials, you can owe the sect and repay later with contribution points,” Great Cultivator Hu Shiming stated, pointing at the mountain.

”Thank you, Senior Brother Hu!” Great Cultivator Luo Pei expressed his gratitude with a slight bow.

”Once you settle in, we’ll have another gathering!” smiled Great Cultivator Hu Shiming.

Great Cultivator Luo Pei used his Great Cultivator Jade Disc to activate the Mountain Formation, entering and viewing what would be his mountain.

From the base to the summit, the entire mountain consists of Fourth Grade Spirit Fields with some Fourth Grade Spirit Plants.

The future yields of these fields belong to him, and regarding the management of these Fourth Grade Spirit Fields, the Fuliu Sect provides specialists without needing much of his concern.

He only had to expend a small amount of contribution points.

Being a Great Cultivator of the Fuliu Sect, he annually received substantial contribution points without doing much.

Though these points were insufficient for top-tier fourth-grade refining materials or Great Cultivator Fourth Grade Spirit Pills, they were enough to sustain his abode and daily needs.
