Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1509: Chapter 801: Classics

Li Shiming stayed in the Book Collection Pavilion, browsing through the Jade Scrolls with incredible speed, changing one every thirty minutes.

This made Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng frown as he watched from the side, believing that Li Shiming was not taking the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s legacy seriously.

Among cultivators, those with extraordinary memory are not uncommon, especially those who specialize in cultivating spiritual techniques, their memory can indeed be photographic.

However, the content of these one hundred Inheritance Jade Scrolls is vast, and even with photographic memory, at most one could memorize the content of one or two Scrolls. To memorize all the content of one hundred Jade Scrolls within a few months is impossible.

”Li Shizhen, have you memorized the Jade Scrolls you’ve read?” Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng asked, picking up a Jade Scroll that Li Shiming had read and set aside.

”Yes, I’ve memorized it!” Li Shiming replied while still focused on the Jade Scroll in his hand.

Li Shiming could still respond while browsing through the Jade Scrolls, which made Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng even more suspicious, thinking that Li Shiming was merely going through the motions.

”Recite the content of the thirty-first segment of this Jade Scroll,” Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng asked sternly.

Li Shiming maintained his divine sense on the Jade Scroll, yet answered Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng’s question, reciting large passages seamlessly.

Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng listened while checking, finding no errors in the content recited by Li Shiming.

He, unwilling to accept this, extracted additional content for Li Shiming to recite, yet no matter what he chose, Li Shiming perfectly recited it without any mistake.

In the end, he couldn’t help but shake his head, realizing what true genius meant as he looked at Li Shiming.

He was a Great Cultivator, yet only had twenty years left of his life span. Looking at Li Shiming, also a Great Cultivator, only just over a hundred years of age, he mused how different his life might have been had he, like Li Shiming, reached such heights at a young age.

He ceased disturbing Li Shiming’s reading of the Jade Scrolls, only assisting in tidying and storing a Jade Scroll whenever Li Shiming finished reading one.

Li Shiming was actually using his life-bound magical treasure, IBMz15, to record the contents of the Jade Scrolls. He intentionally took thirty minutes to read a Scroll, prolonging the time deliberately.

If he cared not at all about Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng’s perception, he could have instantly memorized the entire content of a Jade Scroll.

He didn’t need genuine memorization, merely a Divine Sense sweep over the Scrolls’ content, which was impressively quick.

Among the hundred Jade Scrolls, there was abundant experience in nurturing spirit beasts, left behind by previous Great Cultivators, holding immense value equivalent to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s highest level of spirit beast cultivation texts.

Especially the experience concerning spirit beasts advancing to the Late Stage Fourth Grade, was of paramount importance to him.

Even spirit beasts like Little Feng and the Illusion Spirit Dragon, with extremely pure bloodlines, faced significant danger during their advancement to Late Stage Fourth Grade, necessitating thorough preparation for the risks involved.

”Forgive the delay, let me brew you a pot of spiritual tea!” After an unknown amount of time, as Li Shiming placed down the last Jade Scroll, noticing Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng still seated beside him, he remarked.

”I’ve heard of your spiritual tea, today I am in luck!” Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng replied with a smile, not standing on ceremony.

Back when Li Shiming was in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng was in seclusion and did not emerge. Only after Li Shiming left did he taste the spiritual tea Li Shiming had left behind.

According to several Great Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, the Fourth Grade Spirit Tea crafted by Li Shiming was top-notch, yet the tea brewed personally by Li Shiming was an ultimate masterpiece, the pinnacle of spiritual tea in the cultivation world.

Li Shiming smiled as he took out the ’Green Mist Treasure Cauldron’ and used Spiritual Fire to brew a pot of spiritual tea within it.

Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng stared intensely at the ’Green Mist Treasure Cauldron,’ recognizing by its aura that it was a Top-grade Fourth-grade Pill Furnace.

A Top-grade Fourth-grade Pill Furnace was unimaginable, understanding that Pill Furnaces and magical treasures were completely different concepts entirely.

Crafting Pill Furnaces was significantly more challenging, requiring extremely peculiar Fourth Grade Top Material in much larger quantities, with a Pill Furnace’s material needs being multiple times that of a magical treasure.

For a Great Cultivator to possess a Top-level Fourth Grade Magical Treasure was already quite exceptional.

Yet what he witnessed was astonishing; Li Shiming was using a Top-grade Fourth Grade Pill Furnace to brew tea, surely any Alchemy Master witnessing such a scene would be driven to madness.

Li Shiming poured a cup of spiritual tea and pushed it towards Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng, the exquisite taste of the tea bringing him back to reality.

”Excellent tea, to taste such tea, I have no regrets in this life!” Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng sipped the spiritual tea, closed his eyes to savor it, and after a long while, he exclaimed.

Through his life, he had experienced too much, making it difficult to feel anything extraordinary anymore, but this cup of spiritual tea gave him a newfound sense of life, feeling rejuvenated somehow.

This wasn’t physical rejuvenation, but spiritual and soulful rejuvenation.

For an aging Great Cultivator, such spiritual tea had a profound impact far beyond that on an ordinary Great Cultivator.

”I’ve just recently crafted some more spiritual tea, if you wouldn’t mind, please keep these teas.” Li Shiming sensed the change in Great Cultivator Zhang Dansheng, contemplated for a moment, and then took out a jade box, placing it in front of him.
