Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1487: Chapter 790: Lou Wu

Li Yuanba’s life was almost unchanged. He usually went into closed cultivation for a month, then left the cave dwelling to receive alchemy seekers before making a trip to deliver the alchemy materials brought by the seekers to his original body, Li Shiming.

He would bring back the spirit pills that had been refined by Li Shiming over the past month. If it was a great cultivator’s spirit pill, this process would take two months or even longer.

Although his behavior was somewhat peculiar, being both an alchemy master and an exceptionally talented cultivator, even some eccentric behavior would be regarded as normal.

The top levels of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion also knew that Li Yuanba was currently in a state of closed cultivation, so they didn’t assign him any tasks.

Just the Hell Cave Heaven mission he previously participated in, as well as providing alchemy for the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, was enough to compare to the contributions of the sword cultivators diligent in their tasks.

Li Yuanba’s reputation was widely spread after the Hell Cave Heaven mission, becoming the top-tier genius cultivator in the Central State Continent and even the entire Cultivation World.

Cultivators and forces holding grudges against him, who wanted to cause trouble, couldn’t find a chance due to his prolonged closed cultivation.

No force could reach inside the mountain gate of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, at most only able to buy some intelligence.

After Li Yuanba had been in closed cultivation for ten years, an important event temporarily ended his seclusion.

On a desolate small island outside Sword Peak, Li Yuanba and Great Cultivator Lou stood in the air, quietly watching Lou Wu on the island.

Today was the day when Lou Wu attempted to break through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. As Lou Wu was Li Yuanba’s disciple, he naturally needed to be present for such a significant event.

The island was arranged with multiple vein-locking plates, containing three great cultivator spirit veins. Two of these were borrowed from other great cultivators, and one was brought by Li Yuanba.

The reason for choosing this promotion location was Lou Wu’s own choice. Normally, a promotion would be chosen in the most suitable place to make advancement easier.

There seemed to be some story between this small island and Lou Wu. Great Cultivator Lou didn’t mention it, and Li Yuanba didn’t ask.

Anyway, with Li Yuanba and Great Cultivator Lou as protectors, no matter how strong the enemy, they could ensure the safety of Lou Wu’s promotion process.

”Yuanba, your cultivation progress is obvious. It seems that in less than a hundred years, you will reach the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Peak and attempt to break through to the Great Cultivator Realm!” Great Cultivator Lou, sensing the aura around Li Yuanba, commented with emotion.

The speed of Li Yuanba’s cultivation progress surprised him greatly.

However, considering Li Yuanba’s alchemy capabilities, it was understandable.

Few cultivators like Li Yuanba possessed nearly saturating quantities of fourth-grade advanced cultivation assistance spirit pills.

Even among the Nascent Soul Middle Stage core sword cultivators in the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, none had the conditions to use fourth-grade advanced cultivation assistance spirit pills to such an extent.

Though core sword cultivators had more resources than ordinary cultivators, the increase was limited, providing better guidance, access to deeper knowledge, completing harder tasks, and more easily acquiring resources.

Core sword cultivators received more knowledge and resources, but they also needed to pay a high price.

Unlike Li Yuanba, who could satisfy his cultivation needs through the portion withheld from alchemy.

In fact, Li Yuanba had access to more than Great Cultivator Lou imagined, because he entrusted all his alchemy to his original body, Li Shiming, who still applied the ’Hundred One-point Pill Technique,’ achieving double pill output.

If any cultivator could see the spirit pills Li Yuanba used for cultivation, they would certainly notice the difference between those and the spirit pills he crafted for other sword cultivators.

The spirit pills he consumed were all fourth-grade high-level spirit pills, with quality reaching the theoretical highest level of fourth-grade high-level. This was a particular ability of his original body, Li Shiming, that could only be refined to such quality in the secret space.

”Still need a hundred years!” Li Yuanba responded with a helpless, bitter smile.

Great Cultivator Lou believed that reaching the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Peak in a century was an incredibly brief time.

Yet, in Li Yuanba’s view, this time span was still too long.

In terms of cultivation speed, a comparison is necessary to understand whether one’s cultivation speed is fast or slow.

In Li Yuanba’s cave dwelling within the Sword Cave Heaven, due to his contributions to the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, the Spiritual Energy concentration in his cave dwelling was adjusted to the level of a great cultivator. This was the highest Spiritual Energy standard besides that of the Sword Elder.

However, even this cultivation environment was still lacking compared to that of his original body, Li Shiming.

Li Shiming’s cultivation environment was constructed through layers of treasure.

The ’Heavenly Person Hall’ of the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven was originally the most Spirited Energy-rich location inside the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven, a place designed for the powerful themselves.

Additionally, the Spiritual Veins obtained in numerous adventures were placed in the ’Heavenly Person Hall,’ enhancing the Spiritual Energy within.

The Treasure Lotus Hall was situated within the ’Heavenly Person Hall,’ and through the Treasure Lotus Hall’s conversion, the Spiritual Energy was purified further, also aided by the ’Infinite Jade Mat’ and other treasures, granting Li Shiming conditions for cultivation on a level for the mighty.

Such external conditions aside, the greatest influence came from the ’Heavenly Human Technique’.

The ’Heavenly Human Technique,’ when cultivated, was equivalent to exercising the technique via five rules of the Five Elements, rendering its efficiency extremely high.

At least in Li Yuanba’s experience, he had yet to encounter a cultivation technique more efficient than the ’Heavenly Human Technique,’ not even the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’ compared.
