If Li Shiming wanted to practice the "Sword Demon Secret Book" himself, he would also need a third-grade gold material as the sword base.
Unfortunately, let alone the third-grade gold-attribute materials, even the second-grade materials have never been seen anywhere else except in Baili Jinyan’s storage bracelet.
Fortunately, the clone has the "Sword Demon Secret Book", so he can continue to practice body refining.
He set his sights on the last purple jade slip, hoping to see whether it contained Baili Jinyan's main practice method.
In that case, the clone would not need to change the main practice method and could directly practice the original main practice method, which would reduce a lot of trouble.
'Soul Controlling Technique', this is the name of the technique in the last purple jade slip.
The "Soul Control and Soul Separation Technique" is not a cultivation method, but a secret technique, an auxiliary means.
Using the 'Soul Control and Soul Splitting Technique', you can control a soul and stimulate the soul's split to make it fly out and become your eyes, or the soul can become aggressive enough to quietly eliminate the enemy.
Of course, the first condition for practicing the "Soul Control and Soul Separation Technique" is to have spiritual thoughts.
The 'Soul Controlling and Soul Separation Technique' may seem similar to the 'Five Ghosts Soul Refining Banner' of the Xuanming Sect, but it is actually much more advanced.
The controlled soul will be strengthened by the "Soul Control and Soul Division Technique", and after each soul division, it can be restored through the "Soul Control and Soul Division Technique".
Moreover, the sent-out soul can share vision with the monks, and the monks can even control the actions of the souls remotely.
All in all, this is an advanced method of controlling the soul.
Li Shiming breathed a sigh of relief. He truly witnessed the wonders of the world of cultivating immortals, and there were such techniques.
That day, he was threatened by Baili Jinyan to extract his soul. He thought it was a joke and did not expect that such a technique really existed.
Of the three purple jade slips, currently only the 'Ice Heart Jade Mind Technique' can be practiced, while the others, 'Sword Demon Secret Book' and 'Soul Controlling and Soul Separation Technique' have prerequisites, and cannot be practiced if the prerequisites are not met.
He decided to practice the 'Ice Heart Jade Mind Technique' first. The practice of this technique was extremely concealed. Unless he took the initiative to say it, no one would know that he had practiced the 'Ice Heart Jade Mind Technique', this spiritual mind technique.
In the storage bracelet, next to the three purple jade slips, there are some medicine bottles.
His senses swept over and he immediately found the name of the pill marked on one of the pill bottles.
"This is the 'Foundation Building Pill'!" Li Shiming almost exclaimed.
It's no wonder that he exclaimed, whether it was the martial arts method or the magic weapon, they were all designed to lay the foundation for him to make further progress.
If a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage wants to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage, then the "Foundation Establishment Pill" is indispensable.
The sect also has "Foundation Building Pills" for exchange, but the price is far beyond imagination.
He looked at the bottle labeled "Foundation Building Pill" and carefully opened it, revealing a second-grade pill that was glowing red.
Even though it is only an intermediate second-grade elixir, no cultivator would ask for a higher quality 'Foundation Building Pill', because the 'Foundation Building Pill' is the rarest variety among the second-grade elixirs.
Its refining requires a variety of extremely precious spiritual medicines. It is said that all the spiritual fields in the Nine Peaks that have the conditions are planted with the spiritual medicines needed for the "Foundation Building Pill".
Even so, the 'Foundation Building Pills' refined every year are in short supply because there are too many cultivators who want to break through the Foundation Building stage.
Although there was only one, Li Shiming was still extremely excited when he saw this "Foundation Building Pill" worth 50,000 good deeds.
It is unknown how long it will take for him to accumulate 50,000 good deeds, and he will also need the "Foundation Building Pill" in the sect's treasury.
Even if he exchanged for a 'Foundation Building Pill', he was not sure that he could break through to the Foundation Building Stage by relying on just one 'Foundation Building Pill'.
As for why Baili Jinyan only prepared one "Foundation Building Pill" for himself, it was because his spiritual roots were heavenly spiritual roots. Even if he did not use the "Foundation Building Pill", there was a certain probability that he would successfully break through to the Foundation Building Stage.
I think this "Foundation Building Pill" is just a guarantee to make his breakthrough less of a suspense.
Li Shiming suppressed the joy in his heart. He was still a long way from the late stage of Qi Refining and there was still a long way to go.
He covered the bottle of "Foundation Building Pill" to prevent the spiritual power of "Foundation Building Pill" from leaking out. This bottle is also a treasure that can preserve high-level pills such as "Foundation Building Pill" for a long time.
He also checked the other pills, including the "Restoring Spirit Pill" for restoring spiritual power, the "Strengthening Body Pill" for strengthening the body, the "Detoxification Pill" and so on.
In addition to these items, there are some sundries in the storage bracelet. For the time being, he does not plan to touch these sundries and will leave them all behind. Perhaps when his strength improves, he will be able to find some unfamiliar good things from them.
Li Shiming returned his consciousness to his body. He sat in the Xuanming Black Shadow Formation, took out the Soul Gathering Plate and practiced the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique'.
He has been out for so many days, always above the sea, riding on the back of a paper crane, and he doesn't dare to practice his main skills.
If there was a surprise attack in the sea, he wouldn't even have time to react.
After practicing the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique', he put the Spirit Gathering Plate back into the computer room, and seeing his clone sitting cross-legged, he began to think about the matter of his clone.
One thing that must be done is to change the main practice method of the clone.
Baili Jinyan's original main practice technique was not found in the storage bracelet, and he didn't know the name of Baili Jinyan's main practice technique. Even if he knew the name, he would be powerless to do anything.
The technique that Baili Jinyan can choose as his main practice must be the most advanced Qi Refining technique.
Although Li Shiming had a poor background in the world of immortal cultivation, he was still lucky. The 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique' that he practiced was evaluated by Uncle Cui in the Foundation Establishment Stage as a top-level Qi Refining Stage technique.
The 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique' is also the only skill he can practice, so he decided to let his clone practice this 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique'.
He put the soul gathering disk back into the computer room, and it appeared under his clone's body.
The spirit gathering plate gathers the spiritual energy in the void and wraps the clone in it.
Li Shiming's consciousness was transferred to the body of his clone. Although he used his clone for the first time to practice the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique', he did not have the slightest confusion because he had practiced the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique' to such proficiency in his original body.
The spiritual energy in the body is drawn out of the spiritual energy vortex, and is transformed through the "Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique" in the clone body before flowing back into the spiritual energy vortex.
During the entire process, the quality of the spiritual power vortex did not decrease.
It's just that the spiritual power in the original spiritual energy vortex had a metallic sharp feeling. After being transformed by the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique', the sharpness was reduced a little, and it became thicker and more inclusive.
Of course, transformation is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two; it requires long-term continuous practice.
But he also encountered a problem, that is, there was not enough spiritual energy.
Ever since Li Shiming obtained the Spirit Gathering Plate, he has never worried about spiritual energy.
This was also the main reason why he dared to choose a small island with relatively poor spiritual energy outside the Nine Peaks in order to gain more personal time.
Although the quality of the spiritual energy on the island is lower, it is more than enough for his practice after being gathered by the spirit gathering plate.
As for the cultivators who stayed in the Nine Peaks, they were not able to use the Nine Peaks' main spiritual veins at will. In addition to having to spend most of their time every day completing designated tasks, the spiritual energy received by their caves was also supplied according to standards.
But the clone is different. He is a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Even after changing his technique, he only drops from the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining to the early to middle stage of Qi Refining.
The Spirit Gathering Plate is indeed a treasure for cultivation, but such a treasure is not enough for cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining, especially those with natural spiritual roots.
When the clone finished practicing the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique', not only was the spiritual energy gathered by the Spirit Gathering Plate absorbed, but even the spiritual energy accumulated in the computer room space during this period of time became noticeably thinner.
Li Shiming judged based on the consumed spiritual energy that in order to ensure that his clone could practice the "Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique" once, the spiritual energy gathering disk would need to accumulate in the computer room space for two days.
Of course, the inferior spirit vein and the spirit gathering plate in the underground space of his sect's Eagle's Beak Island could barely support one more day of cultivation out of two days.
But the problem was that he didn't dare to summon his clone out of the computer room.
"It seems that the change of practice method will be delayed for a while!" Since it is not possible to practice the main practice method every day, the originally estimated time for changing practice method will be extended by more than double.
Li Shiming considered completing the task assigned to the array master immediately after returning to the sect this time, and earning a large amount of good merit to exchange for a spirit gathering array knowledge.
At that time, he could set up a spirit gathering array in the computer room that was more powerful than the spirit gathering disk to make up for the demand for spiritual energy.
Although he encountered some troubles, Li Shiming was still very satisfied.
By analyzing the situation of the spiritual energy vortex in the body, he could also analyze that the quality of the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique' was not much different in grade from the main practice method that Baili Jinyan had practiced before.
This is normal. The Qi Refining Stage's techniques are the lowest level. Even the most advanced techniques have been passed down over countless years.
Each sect has top-level Qi Refining techniques, but there are also conditions for cultivators to practice these techniques.
The general requirement of the sect for those with natural spiritual roots is to practice the most advanced Qi Refining techniques, because no matter how difficult the Qi Refining techniques are, they are not a problem for those with natural spiritual roots.
As for ordinary cultivators with three spiritual roots, the sect does not recommend or encourage them to choose the top Qi Refining techniques.
The spiritual power cultivated by the top-level Qi Refining techniques is of higher quality than other techniques, but there are certain requirements in terms of cultivation speed or talent.
If it weren't for the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Art' that Li Shiming had found himself, which was itself a relatively peaceful top-level Qi Refining technique, and if he hadn't cultivated to the third level of Qi Refining in a short period of time through this main technique, Uncle Cui would not have suggested that he didn't need to change his main technique.
In Uncle Cui's opinion, the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Art' must be extremely suitable for Li Shiming, which is why he can practice it so quickly.
Li Shiming put away the Xuanming Black Shadow Formation. He had rested long enough.
Feeling the urgency of returning to the sect, he decided to continue using the "Sword Control Technique" and the paper crane to travel, so that he could reach the mission location faster and complete the mission.
Changshi Valley is a long valley full of rocks with almost no green to be seen.
Han Yu and nine other cultivators from the clan were all covered in cloth to conceal their aura and hid in the dug hole.
The cloth that can conceal the breath, plus the hole in the ground, can hide one's own breath to the greatest extent.
They were like experienced hunters, guarding the only passage in the valley and waiting for their prey to appear.
A sword light appeared from the valley entrance, and the fluctuation of spiritual energy let Han Yu know that the target had appeared.
They have been waiting here for four days. Except for the cultivators from the sect, almost no cultivators are willing to leave the spiritual energy-rich environment on the sea and enter the secular world where spiritual energy is scarce.
It is even more impossible for the independent cultivators in Nanshan Kingdom to go to the sea area where Tianhai Sect is located, because cultivators without status are not welcome there.
Therefore, the cultivator who passed by here in recent days could only be the sect cultivator who was at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
Besides, if they killed the wrong monk, they would just consider it as the monk's bad luck, and they could also increase their income a little.
"What happened?" Han Yu stuck his head out and looked at the sword light that passed through the valley, somewhat confused.
They set up a magic array in the valley, which was arranged through an array plate, and its function was to trap the monks inside.
As long as you pass through the Changshi Valley, you will inevitably pass through the magic circle, and once you enter, you will be trapped by the magic circle.
This magic circle is a little special. The monks outside can attack the trapped monks freely.
Once the sect's monks are trapped, they will be hit by the spells of the ten monks. With the strength of ten monks, no matter how strong the sect's monks are, they cannot withstand such a level of attack.
Everything was planned. This was also the tactic they had used to successfully kill monks in the past. But what was going on with the monks from the sect this time?
No monk answered Han Yu's question because they could not understand what was happening before their eyes.
Li Shiming used the sword-controlling technique to advance. He sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy from the magic circle in the valley, but he did not stop moving forward.
Wrapped in the sword-escaping light, he saw the spiritual energy lines of the formation in front of him.
The magic array brought out by the casual cultivators is not even as good as the simplest Five Elements Maze and Small Nine Palaces Illusion Array set up by Uncle Zhuge in the sect. The gap between the sect's inheritance and the casual cultivator's inheritance is as vast as heaven and earth.
Perhaps the sect monks who do not understand the formation will indeed be affected, but this does not include Li Shiming.
Even this magic circle did not affect his sword escape speed, and he passed through it easily.
He passed through the magic circle and stopped at the exit of the valley.
He looked back in the direction of Changshi Valley, with a fierce murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
He finally understood what the law enforcement monk named Han Tianlei wanted to do. The mission map was given by Han Tianlei, but a magic circle was set up on this road to trap people.
Is there any need to say more about what Han Tianlei wants to do?
Li Shiming took out the drone and put on the blindfold again.
The drone that was cast with the 'Invisibility Technique' flew into the sky, and its infrared function was activated.
Ten red figures appeared on the hood display, letting him know where the enemy was.
Now he has the initiative, and it is up to him to decide whether to fight or hide and launch a surprise attack.
"Fight!" Li Shiming said to himself coldly.
