Cultivation is just so scientific!-Chapter 520 - 306 Ancestral Elder_2

Li Yuanba was somewhat surprised that Ancestor Lu actually knew about the Golden Core cultivators from his sect coveting Ten Thousand Sword Peak. Thinking that Ancestor Lu was paying attention to Ten Thousand Sword Peak, Li Yuanba figured that if those Golden Core cultivators really got their hands on it, Ancestor Lu’s retaliation would teach them a lesson about how to conduct themselves.

"Refining Ten Thousand Sword Peak into a magical treasure, I’ve discussed it with my master, and he agrees with me doing so!" Li Yuanba knew that Ancestor Lu did not care about him refining treasures on his own, but still, he explained.

"He really lets go when it comes to his own disciples!" Ancestor Lu complained a little.

Li Yuanba pretended not to hear, what could he as a grand-disciple do when Ancestor Lu made a few remarks about his own disciples.

"Now that you’ve advanced to the Golden Core, I was in such a rush that I didn’t bring anything good with me. This token, take it with you. If some old fogey wants to make a move on you, just show them this token!" Ancestor Lu seemed to remember something, took out a token, and tossed it over as he spoke.

"Thank you, Ancestor!" Li Yuanba caught the token and expressed his gratitude.

Holding the token, he could feel the aura within it, which was the same as Ancestor Lu’s; the patterns on it were extremely complex, the material used to make the token was third-grade, but it wasn’t a magical treasure.

In some ways, this token was more precious than any Golden Core Stage magical treasure because it represented Ancestor Lu.

Being an enemy to the cultivator holding the token was the same as being an enemy to Ancestor Lu.

Of course, most Golden Core cultivators would not recognize this token, but Nascent Soul Ancestors would definitely recognize its origin and the owner of the aura within the token.

Having the token by one’s side would, at the very least, cause some Nascent Soul Ancestors to have second thoughts when encountering it.

The behavior of Nascent Soul Ancestors who have reached their stage is completely uninhibited and unrestrained. This is part of the cultivation process and the Nascent Soul Ancestors are following their true nature.

But it is precisely this attitude that is most dangerous. A mostly unrestricted Nascent Soul Ancestor, if they wish to kill, can be utterly unreasonable.

"Be more careful in the recent period, and try to take on missions that are closer to the sect’s gates!" Ancestor Lu stood up, preparing to leave, then used soul transmission to instruct Li Yuanba before departing.

This was his way of taking care of Li Yuanba. While Li Yuanba was involved in the major trends of the Beishu Continent, he was in too low a position to be aware of many secrets.

Without waiting for Li Yuanba to respond, Ancestor Lu’s figure disappeared.

At Sword Holding Peak in Shushan Sect, Li Shiming was pondering. He previously felt that the killing of Supervisor Feng Yi went very smoothly.

After remotely controlling the clone Li Yuanba and experiencing the aftermath of a Nascent Soul Ancestor’s battle, only then did he realize how lucky he was with the assassination of Supervisor Feng Yi.

Although Supervisor Feng Yi was only a False Infant, according to the consensus of the Cultivation World, a False Infant is just slightly weaker than a Nascent Soul but still counts as a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

On Northern Island, the clone Li Yuanba only experienced the aftermath of the Nascent Soul Ancestor’s battle. The real battlefield was in the vast depths of the distant sea, but even so, the remnants of the battle were still enough to easily annihilate him.

It can only be said that Li Shiming was extremely fortunate. Originally, Supervisor Feng Yi used the method of False Infant Projection to act stealthily, not to alarm any cultivator.

If the full combat power of Supervisor Feng Yi was unleashed, it was really uncertain if Li Shiming’s beginner-level "Step by Step Lotus" could have escaped.

Mainly because, when body and False Infant were fused, the attack range was extremely far, far surpassing the state when the False Infant was projected.

When the False Infant was projected, Supervisor Feng Yi didn’t carry any offensive magical treasures. If he had carried the Fourth-grade Jade Ruler or Fourth-grade Flying Sword with him, the two Fourth-Grade Magical Treasures could have certainly killed Li Shiming from a distance.

Li Shiming, reflecting on his recent mindset, admitted that one must always remain in awe of Nascent Soul Ancestors; otherwise, one might die without even knowing how it happened.

After adjusting his mindset, he resumed his work on creating talismans.

This wasn’t to increase his means of attack, since, with the sect’s protection, the chances of him actually needing to take action were already rare.

He was creating talismans to harness the abilities of an Array Master, among which there was a talisman named "Array Breaking Talisman."

The "Array Breaking Talisman" does not have a fixed method of drawing but instead, the Array Master transfers a part of their "Array Formation Starlight Sea" onto the talisman paper using talismanic techniques, embedding their own research on breaking formations, allowing the "Array Breaking Talisman" to break through any breakable formations recorded within the "Array Formation Starlight Sea."

Of course, due to the different materials of the talisman paper, the knowledge about breaking formations that the "Array Breaking Talisman" can withstand also varies.

Li Shiming was extremely wealthy, and he naturally chose the best materials for talisman paper, and even the talismanic ink was the highest quality he could use.

The talisman paper was stored in the machine room space, where the entire process of creating the talisman took place, and with the machine room’s space ability to control at a micrometer level, the talismans created could reach the maximum limit that the talisman paper could withstand.

His "Array Breaking Talismans" wouldn’t be sold, all of them were stored by him as strategic-level materials.

At the same time, creating talismans was also a process of cultivating one’s character and mental state.

Through making talismans, he hoped to find an opportunity for a breakthrough.

Since he couldn’t go out anyway, he could try every possible opportunity.

Besides making talismans, he continued his learning and research on technology.

Each day, he dedicated six two-hour periods to studying and researching technologies from his previous life, and in the factory area developed within the spatial formation in the belly of Sword Holding Peak, with the help of Divine Thought, he alone could work as if he were dozens of people.

At present, the machinery in the factory area had shifted from heavy industry to electronic industry.

The electronic components that Li Shiming used to process individually in the machine room space were now completely self-sufficient.

As for heavy industry, the huge furnaces and hydraulic molding machines had been phased out.

With Artifact Refining techniques and the Red Sun Spiritual Fire, he could completely replace many heavy industries from his previous life, which also greatly saved space within the spatial formation.

The research on microchips continued unremittingly, a task he had never stopped, but transitioning from microchips to nano-level chips involved many difficulties he needed to confront.

However, the microchips were sufficient for his use; whether for drones, missiles, or various mechanical equipment’s program-controlled systems, their computational power could cope.

The research on weapons from his previous life was also making rapid progress.

The research on weapons was limited to just that—research. Until he became a Golden Core cultivator who couldn’t refine weapons at the level of magic artifacts, he wouldn’t make weapons meant for facing enemies again. frёewebηovel.cѳm

The "Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatling" he’d made before was no longer able to meet his combat needs.

And the "Top-grade Magic Device Electromagnetic Gun" wasn’t truly considered a complete weapon of combat—the "Top-grade Magic Device Electromagnetic Gun" required a long charging time, and the energy system wasn’t integrated into its own system.

Although the "Top-grade Magic Device Electromagnetic Gun" could penetrate the defenses of a Golden Core cultivator, that was under the condition that the Golden Core cultivator was incapacitated and without a defensive magic artifact.

If the "Top-grade Magic Device Electromagnetic Gun" were actually used in combat, its effectiveness would be almost null, as a Golden Core cultivator’s sense of danger would allow them to dodge in advance, leaving the "Top-grade Magic Device Electromagnetic Gun" unable even to hit the enemy, let alone kill them.

Once Li Shiming advanced to the Golden Core Stage, the "Top-grade Magic Device Electromagnetic Gun" would lose its usefulness completely, just like the "Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatling," unable to satisfy the demands of his increasing combat power.

Li Shiming’s research focus was on how, after advancing to the Golden Core Stage, he could combine weapons from his previous life with formations and Artifact Refining techniques of the Cultivation World to create conventional weapons capable of threatening enemies at the Golden Core Stage.

For this goal, more than half of the knowledge he studied and researched each day was related to weapons.

Additionally, his research included deep applications of Spirit Stones, particularly after he became an Array Master, on how to develop new formations that allowed the most enduring, safest conversion of Spirit Stones into electricity within the smallest space.

All his research was paving a new path, one no cultivator had ever set foot on before.
