"Lan'er, the time has come, why don't you be promoted to a half-step great power!" Li Shiming shouted softly, reminding Yin Shilan who was immersed in the opportunity of promotion.
A clarity flashed in Yin Shilan's eyes. She had already made great preparations for her promotion to a half-step great power.
She first received the inheritance of being promoted to a half-step great power from Luanfeng Palace, and then Li Shiming explained the rules for more than a hundred years, and finally Meng Jun the Great Power personally preached to her.
In terms of material preparation, Li Shiming prepared for her the secret treasures and corresponding elixirs.
Li Shiming had prepared everything for her, and the rest was up to her. Li Shiming could not help her with these things.
Yin Shilan absorbed the spiritual energy emitted by the spiritual veins of 108 great monks. At the same time, Xiao Huang was summoned out and kept chirping above her head.
She began to practice 'Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens', and she was connected with Xiao Huang's Qi.
Li Shiming felt relieved. He could observe subtle energy changes through his 'Divine Eyes' and found that there was nothing wrong with Yin Shilan's promotion process.
This is the benefit of having the experience passed down from a half-step great power. The experience of predecessors who practice the same technique, even if it is a failure, can be used as a lesson for the younger generations.
Unlike Li Shiming's promotion process, there was no experience of predecessors to refer to.
If he hadn't had the opportunity to comprehend the 'Divine Monument', his promotion would never have been so smooth.
Yin Shilan's promotion process was very easy. She proceeded step by step according to the experience of Luanfeng Palace.
Although she didn't have much talent, she had the best elixir, especially after taking a 'Hundred Herb Pill'. The huge amount of energy made her not need to absorb other energy at all. Just relying on the energy of the 'Hundred Herb Pill', the energy in her Nascent Soul reached its peak, and finally entered the step of building a cave heaven.
The inheritance of the cave heaven that she chose was the same spiritual object as Li Shiming's, the 'Dao Yun Jin Lian'. She and Li Shiming were Taoist companions, and the safety of the 'Dao Yun Jin Lian' was also the highest.
When she was in the cave, Li Shiming could take her with him.
Watching Yin Shilan's figure disappear into the void, leaving only a spot of light on the 'Daoyun Golden Lotus', Li Shiming couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as Yin Shilan reaches this step, he can intervene and provide help as Yin Shilan goes through the process of controlling the cave.
Interfering with the control of other cultivators' cave energy is not an easy task even for ordinary powerful people.
But Li Shiming had the help of IBM z15, and Yin Shilan's understanding of the rules was learned from him.
He did not enter Yin Shilan's cave with his real body. This newly constructed cave could not withstand a power like his.
What he chose was to let an 'immortal water bear' enter Yin Shilan's cave, control the 'immortal water bear' through a brain, and use the perception of the 'immortal water bear' to help Yin Shilan.
He did not send all the more than 200 half-step masters into Yin Shilan's cave at once. Yin Shilan was not him. Once the energy exceeded Yin Shilan's control limit, big trouble would be waiting for Yin Shilan.
The 'Immortal Water Bear' entered Yin Shilan's cave, and Li Shiming saw the situation inside the cave through shared perception.
In the cave, Xiao Huang shrank and lay on Yin Shilan's shoulder. Xiao Huang dared not move at all, as the fragile cave could not withstand Xiao Huang's activities.
After Yin Shilan practiced the 'Nine Heavens Dancing Phoenix Technique', her main energy focus became fire.
Therefore, the core of her cave is a ball of flame, and the entire cave is filled with fire energy.
Yin Shilan and Xiao Huang were surrounded by fire energy and did not feel any discomfort at all. This place was equivalent to a part of Yin Shilan's body.
The entry of the 'Immortal Water Bear' caused the fire energy in the cave to become restless, no matter how careful one was.
Li Shiming quickly asked IBMz15 to analyze the cave, and controlled the energy in the cave through the 'Eternal Water Bear'.
It is extremely difficult for someone other than the owner to control the energy of the cave, but he does not control it by force. Instead, he mobilizes the energies to restrain each other, so that even if one is not the owner of the cave, he can mobilize the energy of the cave to a balanced state.
Li Shiming was slightly pleased with himself. With the powerful computing power of IBM z15 and his previous experience in building a cave with Li Yuanba, he had rich experience in controlling the energy of the cave.
Afterwards, he sent the second 'Immortal Water Bear' into the cave and calmed the energy fluctuations in the cave caused by the entry of the new 'Immortal Water Bear'.
It can be said that Yin Shilan trusts Li Shiming 100%. She gave up the control over the energy of the cave and let Li Shiming operate it completely.
It is estimated that any half-step great power with some ambition would not allow other cultivators to do so, as this would be putting their own lives in the hands of the other party.
She trusted Li Shiming, and this trust began to be established from the first time they met.
One by one, the 'immortal water bears' entered the cave. After all 108 of them had entered the cave, Li Shiming did not allow the Holy Spirit to enter the cave again.
It’s not that he was reluctant, but Yin Shilan’s cave couldn’t bear it.
This brings us to Yin Shilan's talent. Her talent makes her cave relatively weak. This is the cave she and Xiao Huang built together.
If she had built the cave alone, there would probably be even fewer half-step powerful people who could withstand it.
Time passed day by day, and ten years went by in the blink of an eye.
The cultivators of Tianhai Sect had long discovered that something was wrong with Eagle's Beak Island, but the island was protected by formations that prevented them from getting close.
Just as they were about to forcibly attack the formation, a breath of air emanated from the formation.
Although this breath did not have any attack intention, its power made all the cultivators present freeze on the spot.
"Don't disturb here!" Then a voice came out.
The strongest cultivator of the rebuilt Tianhai Sect was only at the early Jindan stage. There was no difference between a cultivator at the early Jindan stage and the other cultivators. He also remained stiff for a long time until that trace of breath disappeared and he was able to regain control of his body.
This is Li Shiming's hometown, and he doesn't want to cause any trouble.
He sent a message to the Beishu Sect. More than ten days later, a team consisting of three Nascent Soul cultivators and hundreds of Golden Core cultivators came to the Tianhai Sect and took over the defense of Tianhai Island.
In ten years, Yin Shilan's cave has completely adapted to the existence of one hundred and eight "immortal water bears". The energy produced by the cave every day is calculated based on the one hundred and eight "immortal water bears" plus Yin Shilan and Xiao Huang.
Most importantly, Xiao Huang, the red-gold phoenix, took over the control of the energy of the cave.
Li Shiming finally understood that no super power should be underestimated. Xiao Huang might increase the control of the cave heaven by half a step in the early stage, but after Xiao Huang adapted to the environment of the cave heaven, Xiao Huang's instinct would make the fire energy in the cave heaven obey its control.
Of course, this is based on the premise that Yin Shilan’s cave only has a single fire energy, which is relatively easier to control.
Li Shiming took back the 'Immortal Water Bears'. The departure of 108 'Immortal Water Bears' allowed a large amount of energy to be accumulated in the cave.
At this step, Li Shiming no longer stayed, and he also entered his own cave, leaving only the 'Daoyun Golden Lotus'. The 'Daoyun Golden Lotus' performed space movement and disappeared in the Eagle's Beak Island.
After he left, the restrictions on Eagle's Beak Island disappeared.
The monks of Beishu Sect evacuated Tianhai Island, but Yingzui Island was regarded as a holy place by the monks of Tianhai Island. Countless monks came from all over Tianhai Island just to visit the former residence of this powerful man.
The monks also discovered that although Eagle's Beak Island was made of ordinary rocks, it was so strong that even a Jindan monk using a magic weapon to attack with all his strength could not harm Eagle's Beak Island in the slightest.
In addition, the spiritual plants on Eagle's Beak Island seemed to be completely still, neither growing nor withering.
If there hadn't been a spiritual plant master confirming that these spiritual plants were normal, the monks would have thought that they were dead things.
The magic of Eagle's Beak Island was caused by the low-level cultivators' misunderstanding of the high-level cultivators. When Li Shiming rebuilt Eagle's Beak Island, in order to make it able to accommodate a powerful person like him, he added a trace of earth-related rules when rebuilding the rocks of Eagle's Beak Island, and also included a trace of wood-related rules when making the spiritual plants, which resulted in the current wonder.
The return journey was very fast. It only took a few days to return to the Dongqi Continent under the space movement of the "Daoyun Golden Lotus".
After Yin Shilan's cave was stabilized, Li Shiming began to consider upgrading his half-step fifth-grade spiritual pet.
To upgrade a half-step fifth-grade spirit pet to the fifth grade, corresponding fifth-grade resources were needed, and this made him feel puzzled.
In his cultivation cave, he could cultivate fifth-grade spiritual medicines, but he had no experience in cultivating the 'Eternal Water Bear', the Holy Spirit, or other spiritual pets into fifth-grade ones.
There is no previous experience to refer to in this regard. If he really wants to do it, he needs to study everything again.
This was an extremely complicated and difficult process. He had no chance to study the fifth-grade elixir, which made it impossible for IBMz15 to perform corresponding calculations because it had no corresponding data support.
Li Shiming patted his head. He had forgotten his old job.
The fifth-grade spiritual medicine is indeed extremely precious. Even if a great inherited being cultivates it in his own cave, the yield is extremely impressive.
It’s not that he doesn’t have the data on fifth-grade elixirs. As long as he publicly refines fifth-grade elixirs, he can get fifth-grade elixirs from other powerful people.
Although these fifth-grade spiritual medicines are used to make elixirs, as long as they pass through his hands, the data of the fifth-grade spiritual medicines can be scanned into the IBMz15 database.
In addition, with the opportunity to refine fifth-grade elixirs for the powerful, he can also accumulate fifth-grade elixirs for himself.
He had tried it before, and in the cultivation cave he had specially built, it would take at least three hundred years to cultivate a mature fifth-grade spiritual medicine.
The most important thing is that there is a limit to the number of fifth-grade spiritual medicines that can be cultivated in a cave at the same time.
Like his caves, each cave can only grow three fifth-grade spiritual medicines at the same time. After three hundred years of maturity, the five caves can only grow fifteen fifth-grade spiritual medicines.
For other powerful beings, three hundred years would only be enough for three fifth-grade spiritual medicines. How could that be enough for their cultivation?
No wonder even though fifth-grade spiritual medicines can be grown in the cave, there is still a need to venture outside.
Of course, Li Shiming has only been a powerful being for a short time. He is still in the state of accumulating energy and doesn’t know much about the later stages of cultivation. He needs to wait until he reaches a certain level before he can know more information.
He was still speculating about matters concerning the cultivation of the powerful.
Just when Li Shiming was considering how to express his idea of refining the fifth-grade elixir to the great inheritors, Master Jian and Master Mengjun from Zhongzhou Continent sent him an invitation together.
This time he did not go in person, but sent out a phantom clone.
The current phantom clone should be said to be a powerful clone.
The Nascent Soul in his body was still there, but it was stuck at the peak great cultivator level and could not make any progress. However, the energy that made up his body was replaced by Cave Heaven Energy by Li Shiming.
This makes the phantom clone's strength truly reach the great power level. Before the cave energy is consumed, the phantom clone can use the cave energy to achieve great combat power.
In order to enhance the power of the phantom clone, Li Shiming also prepared a fifth-grade 'Heavenly Thunder Hammer' for the phantom clone. This item is the life-saving magic weapon of Leng Luo, the great master of Yuqing Sect.
Unfortunately, the Nascent Soul in the phantom's body is now useless. The energy generated by its practice is only the energy of a peak great cultivator. It cannot be integrated into this body at all, let alone replenish energy.
Li Shiming sometimes looked at the Nascent Soul of his phantom clone and wondered whether he should use the phantom clone to try to advance to a half-step great power like a normal cultivator and build the Nascent Soul into a cave heaven.
This thought arose in my mind and I couldn't stop it.
But before that, he needed his phantom clone to go to Zhongzhou Continent to meet with Master Jian and Master Mengjun.
In order to save energy, the phantom clone traveled on this trip on a golden-winged Roc.
Old Jian and Meng Jun made an appointment to meet at Luanfeng Palace. Both Old Jian and Meng Jun appeared as clones, which was normal.
When Li Shiming's phantom clone arrived, two powerful clones of Jian Lao and Meng Jun Da Neng greeted the phantom clone outside the mountain gate.
After some pleasantries, three powerful clones arrived at the hall.
Although he is the incarnation of a powerful being, Luanfeng Palace still prepared the best spiritual fruits and spiritual tea.
The powerful clone can still taste the spiritual fruits and spiritual teas, and even the energy contained in them can be absorbed into the body.
"Junior Brother Li, inviting you here this time is a private matter between me and Master Jian!" Meng Jun said somewhat embarrassedly.
Originally, she was planning to send her clone to Dongqi Continent to ask for help, but the situation in Zhongzhou Continent has not been good recently. The decline of the Great Leiyin Temple and the Feiyu Sect has made other super powers that have been eyeing Zhongzhou Continent want to enter Zhongzhou Continent.
Zhongzhou is the continent with the most resources in the world of immortal cultivation. Previously, there were eight super powers in Zhongzhou that shared the resources of Zhongzhou.
In the absence of two super powers, the super powers that consider themselves powerful are all thinking of replacing the Great Leiyin Temple and Feiyu Sect and settling in the Zhongzhou Continent.
The Great Leiyin Temple was completely ruined. After losing most of its monks and powerful people, there was no possibility of rebuilding the Great Leiyin Temple.
As for Feiyu Sect, because of the contract, the remaining super powers in Zhongzhou Continent are trying to find a way to rebuild Feiyu Sect, and this process is very long.
