Li Shiming checked the third spiritual object in the Soul Crystal Ring. It was a ring made of a fourth-grade top-grade metal and inlaid with a pure white gem.
What caught his attention was the terrifying spatial energy contained within the gem.
He initially thought it was a space object, but quickly denied this view.
Because his spiritual consciousness could not enter into it, and this kind of spatial energy was not the kind of spatial energy that opened up storage space, but rather a kind of transmission energy.
He frowned as he looked at the ring. This ring should be some kind of spiritual object with teleportation function. But even if it was a teleportation ring, it would not need to use the gem containing terrifying space energy to provide energy.
Because it is such a waste. Even if the transmission is continuously turned on, there is no need for such a terrifying amount of space energy.
In his opinion, the spatial energy contained in this gem even exceeded the total spiritual energy in the bodies of several peak monks.
Although he could not recognize what kind of gem it was, it was definitely of unimaginable value and was a treasure.
Li Shiming is very knowledgeable about spatial abilities. He has practiced the art of walking on water. Although there is no mark of spatial rules engraved on his Nascent Soul, his runes of walking on water are inside his Nascent Soul.
To a certain extent, the power of divine feet is roughly equivalent to the rules of space. Of course, the power of divine feet is only one of the ways to apply the rules of space.
He first sent a spell of recognition into the ring, but found that the ring did not accept it. It seemed that it was a rare treasure that did not need to recognize the owner.
He tried to mobilize his spiritual sense to enter the ring. There was a coordinate inside the ring. He felt that as long as he activated it, he would be teleported there.
He did not try to teleport immediately, as he did not know where that place was. He had to be adequately prepared before trying to go there.
He looked at the last spiritual object in the Soul Crystal Ring, which was an ancient contract paper.
The existence of ancient contract paper was known to Li Yuanba, his clone, who had heard about it in Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion.
This is a kind of contract paper found by monks in ancient ruins. The monks discovered that writing a master-client contract on this kind of contract paper has the function of connecting the world to some special rules.
This special rule requires the contracted person to be unconditionally driven by the owner of the ancient contract paper, and cannot make any act of resistance at the soul level.
There are contracts with similar functions in the world of immortal cultivation, but for great cultivators and even more powerful beings, many of the other contracts can be forcibly terminated as long as a large enough price is paid.
But the ancient contract paper is different. As long as the contract is established, the contractee has no possibility of resistance at all. This is recognized by the world rules.
Li Shiming was very curious about the object of the contract signed on this ancient contract paper. You know, the value of the ancient contract paper alone is unimaginable because it is so rare.
There are not many ancient contract papers found in ancient ruins, not to mention the countless years of use in the world of immortal cultivation, which makes it extremely difficult to find an ancient contract paper that has not been used.
On the ancient contract paper, there is a drop of blood with spiritual energy on the contractee's place. Judging from the shape of the blood mark, the contractor is not a humanoid creature, but some kind of spiritual beast.
This discovery disappointed him very much. He had enough spiritual pets. Although Xiao Feng and Huan Ling Long were only at the intermediate fourth grade, with his sufficient accumulated resources, he believed that it would not take long before Xiao Feng and Huan Ling Long could be promoted to the late fourth grade.
There is also the Sky Ghost, which is now in the late fourth grade, and the eleven 'Silver-winged Spirit Gu Insects' have the ability to kill great monks.
His demand for spirit pets is not high. Even if he has an additional late-stage fourth-grade spirit pet, the improvement in his strength will be very limited.
However, he was very curious. The half-step great master Yang Xing only left these few spiritual objects in the soul crystal ring. Each of them was an extremely precious treasure. It seemed that the spiritual beast contracted by this ancient contract paper must also be extremely special.
Otherwise, how could it be favored by Yang Xing, who was already a half-step powerful being? Judging from the ancient contract paper left behind, it seemed that he was planning to keep this spirit beast even after he became a powerful being.
Think about it, if a spirit beast has reached the level of a great power and still wants to stay, what kind of spirit beast should it be?
He put his own mark on the ancient contract paper, so that the contractor of the ancient contract paper was him, and the contractor was controlled by him.
After doing all this, he could vaguely feel another existence connecting with his soul through the ancient contract paper.
Due to the effect of the ancient contract paper, that soul is controlled by him, which is a special subordinate quality.
Although he does not have the ability to punish distant souls, he does not need to do anything to punish them. As long as the other party does not obey his orders, the ancient contract paper will automatically mobilize the power of the rules of heaven and earth to punish them.
Li Shiming thought about it, and through the connection of souls, he sent a request to the distant soul to come and meet him.
Although he didn't know the location of that soul, based on his feeling through the ancient contract paper, that soul should be very far away from the Dongqi Continent.
The most likely possibility is that the soul is far away in the Western Yan Continent, so he is not in a hurry and just waits for the spirit beast to arrive.
Just as he was about to put away his spoils, he looked at the three magical weapons that had lost their owners. His mind moved slightly and he thought of a possibility.
He took out the fourth-grade top-level weapon 'Heavenly Thunder Hammer' and summoned the Heavenly Ghost.
When the Sky Ghost's huge figure appeared, if he hadn't set up a formation to isolate this area in the Taichu Cave Heaven, the cultivators in other areas of the Taichu Cave Heaven would have been frightened by the Sky Ghost's breath.
The spiritual bodies at the peak of the late fourth grade, and some of them carry massive spiritual energy, have a mental suppressing effect on the great cultivators of the same level, not to mention those cultivators working in the Taichu Cave Heaven.
The strength of these cultivators is generally not very high. There are a few in the early Nascent Soul stage, and most of them are Golden Core cultivators.
In fact, Jindan cultivators are the main productive force in the world of immortal cultivation. The strength of Qi-refining cultivators and foundation-building cultivators is still somewhat weak, and they lack both spirit and spiritual power.
If he really frightens the deputy monks in Taichu Cave Heaven, Master Hu will probably cause trouble for him.
"Try to see if you can devour the spiritual imprint in here!" Li Shiming ordered the Heavenly Ghost.
The Sky Ghost is now quite intelligent. After hearing his order, he lowered his head and looked closely at the 'Sky Thunder Hammer'.
The huge figure was like a small mountain, and the "Sky Thunder Hammer" was as small as a needle tip in front of him.
The celestial ghost stuck out his tongue, licked it lightly, and then retracted it.
Li Shiming's eyes lit up. He found that with a slight lick from the Heavenly Ghost, the spiritual imprint in the 'Heavenly Thunder Hammer' magically disappeared.
The reason why the spiritual imprint in the natal magic weapon is difficult to clear is that after the spiritual imprint is imprinted on the natal magic weapon by the cultivator, the cultivator will take it into the body for long-term nurturing.
During this process, the cultivator's spiritual imprint will penetrate into every part of his natal magic weapon and become tightly integrated with it.
After the owner of the natal magic weapon dies, this spiritual fusion will not disappear, but will remain in it forever.
Perhaps after thousands of years, the spiritual imprint inside will gradually disappear.
However, without the nurturing of its master, the quality of the magic weapon would decline after a thousand years. Even if it found a new master, it would no longer have the same power as before.
If a cultivator wants to expel the spiritual imprint in his natal magic weapon, he can only use his own spirit to constantly wash it away, but this is not as cost-effective as cultivating his own natal magic weapon.
It would take hundreds of years to expel the spiritual imprint of a fallen monk's natal magic weapon. This time was enough to nurture one's own natal magic weapon to a very deep level.
Therefore, unless a cultivator encounters a magic weapon of such high quality that he is willing to waste hundreds of years of time, no cultivator would use another person's magic weapon.
Clearing the spiritual imprint from one's natal magic weapon has always been the most troublesome thing in the world of immortal cultivation.
I didn't expect that such a troublesome thing would become as simple as eating and drinking in front of the Heavenly Ghost.
But considering the peculiarity and strength of the Heavenly Ghost, it is not surprising that it has such ability.
The Heavenly Ghost is absolutely unique in the world of immortal cultivation. It is the most special spiritual body. In addition, it is a combination of the Heavenly Demon and the ghost. It is born with a strong ability to restrain spiritual energy.
Li Shiming had no intention to study how the Heavenly Ghost devoured the spiritual imprint in the natal magic weapon. He immediately took out several natal magic weapons, all of which were obtained by killing great monks.
Following his command, the Heavenly Ghost licked it a few more times with its tongue and removed the mental imprint.
A smile appeared on his face. These magic weapons were all the great monks' natal magic weapons, and each one was the best among all the magic weapons.
For example, for a mountain magic weapon like the one used by great monk Yan Gao, as long as one adds a fourth-grade top-level earth-element material, the runes attached to the fourth-grade top-level mountain magic weapon can be changed.
He had seen the mountain magic weapon of the great monk Yan Gao, and the quality was so high that even the 'Wanjian Peak' could not compare with it.
Although 'Wanjian Peak' has integrated a lot of the essence of mountain-type magic weapons, the refining method he found that integrated the essence of mountain magic weapons came from the Baidi Sect.
As the top great monk of the Baidi Sect, the resources that Great Monk Yan Gao has access to are beyond Li Shiming's imagination.
From the soul crystal ring of Master Yan Gao, it can be seen that he is also a top master who specializes in his own magic weapon. Almost all the refining resources he has obtained are used on this mountain magic weapon.
Of course, the main ability of 'Wanjian Peak' is not suppression, but ten thousand flying swords. It is just that after adding 'Gravity Bricks', it has gained a stronger gravity effect.
Since the 'Wanjian Peak' was given to his clone Li Yuanba to use, Li Yuanba was able to use it very well and it greatly enhanced Li Yuanba's combat power, so he did not plan to take it back.
This time, he had no plan to use the mountain-type magic weapon as his natal magic weapon, but to refine it as an ordinary magic weapon.
He didn't have many slots left for his natal magic weapons, and he didn't want the mountain magic weapon to take up the slots for two of his natal magic weapons.
If it was before he was promoted to a great monk, it would have been somewhat difficult for him to re-refine non-natal magic weapons, but after being promoted to a great monk, especially after practicing the 'Heavenly Art', his spiritual power and spirit have been greatly improved, and the operations that were difficult before are no longer a problem at all.
Li Shiming first recognized this mountain magic weapon as his master. After entering the master recognition formula, he learned that the name of this mountain magic weapon was "Ruyi Zhenyue Peak".
After recognizing it as the master of 'Ruyi Zhenyue Peak', his spiritual consciousness can enter the interior of 'Ruyi Zhenyue Peak' and scan out the most detailed data of 'Ruyi Zhenyue Peak' bit by bit.
The natal magic weapon IBMz15 will redesign the magic runes of 'Ruyi Zhenyuefeng' based on these data.
With the experience of 'Wanjian Peak', the design work of 'Ruyi Zhenyue Peak' was not too troublesome.
During this period, he sent five fourth-grade alchemy furnaces into the machine room and began to refine pills at the same time.
With his strength, he no longer cared about the length of time it took to refine the elixir. Even if the Zhongzhou Trading Company knew that he was capable of refining five furnaces of great monk elixirs at the same time, they would only happily say "good" and would not have any other thoughts.
Just like his clone Li Yuanba, Li Yuanba was supported by a strong background, while he was supported by his own strength.
Because the space in the machine room was occupied and limited, after waiting for several days, the design plan of 'Ruyi Zhen Yue Feng' came out, but it still could not be re-refined.
He was not in a hurry. He took out five high-level elixirs for great monks and swallowed them, then went into the Baolian Hall in the Tianren Cave Heaven to practice.
In the Wanshou Cave of the Wanshou Sect, in a special breeding space where a large number of spirit beasts live, Xiaofeng and Huanlinglong were unusually well behaved. They lay on the ground, absorbing the special energy in the space.
Xiao Feng and Huan Ling Long were both forcibly enhanced by Li Shiming using a large amount of elixirs and resources to reach the middle stage of the fourth rank, which made their foundations relatively unstable.
Take the growth of a normal red-gold phoenix for example. It takes hundreds of years just to grow from infancy to adulthood. Even if it takes a large amount of elixirs, it can only advance this time to a few decades.
But look at Xiao Feng, not only has he grown up, he has also reached the realm of the middle stage of the fourth rank.
The journey that the other red-gold phoenixes needed nearly a thousand years to travel was completed by Xiao Feng in just a few decades.
After Li Shiming returned to the Wanshou Sect, after reading a large number of Wanshou Sect's classics, he chose to leave Xiaofeng and Huanlinglong here in order to allow them to improve their foundation.
If Xiaofeng and Huanlinglong want to follow him forever, they must have enough potential. Without a solid foundation, they will not be able to keep up with him.
He can provide enough resources to the spirit pets, but the spirit pets also need to be able to convert resources into strength and realm. Otherwise, no matter how many resources there are, the spirit pets will not be able to demonstrate their own value.
The Wanshou Sect also paid great attention to Li Shiming's two spiritual pets. A special space was opened up for them in the Wanshou Cave, increasing the supply of special energy in the cave.
Li Shiming didn't need to give any orders for these. Li Shiming already had the highest status in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Although he didn't fight for any power, as long as he gave any orders, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect would do its best to execute them. This was the impact of absolute strength.
