The warm atmosphere lasted for a long time. There was no need for words or other actions. Only the sound of two hearts beating made the two people feel close to each other.
"Oh, the spiritual tea is cold!" Li Shiming said abruptly after a long time.
His words broke the atmosphere. Yin Shilan chuckled and rolled her eyes at him. Although they didn't say it explicitly, the relationship between them became closer.
"How do I use this?" Li Shiming filled Yin Shilan's cup of spiritual tea again, picked up the talisman and asked.
He was not polite at this time. This was Yin Shilan's kindness. He would prepare it for Yin Shilan when he had the strength.
"Just use spiritual power to activate it. This talisman can be used three times. Please note that each activation takes three breaths of time!" Yin Shilan introduced.
Li Shiming nodded. The usage of the talisman was very simple, but the preparation time of three breaths was a bit long.
"How powerful is it?" Although he knew that the talisman had some of the power of a magic weapon, he still needed Yin Shilan to explain the details.
"The power of a talisman depends on the power of the magic weapon it relies on. The attack of this Sky-Breaking Bow talisman is difficult to resist for cultivators in the early and middle stages of foundation building. It can also pose a certain threat to cultivators in the late stage of foundation building!" Yin Shilan explained patiently.
Li Shiming took a deep breath. Even though he had some guesses about the power of the talisman, he did not expect it to be so terrifying.
Such a talisman is enough to kill three cultivators in the early and middle stages of foundation building.
If there are too many talismans, then what is the point of the foundation-building cultivators existing?
"It's a process of extracting some of the power of a magic weapon to make a talisman. Once the magic weapon loses its power, it is lost forever, and its owner's golden elixir will also be damaged. The talismans of the sect are all made by the predecessors' golden elixir before their death and left to future generations. This Sky-Breaking Bow talisman was exchanged from the hands of a golden elixir's descendant!" The kind-hearted Yin Shilan saw through Li Shiming's thoughts and continued to explain with a chuckle.
She gave the Sky-Breaking Bow Talisman to Li Shiming to save his life, not to let Li Shiming use it to kill people, so she explained the preciousness of the Sky-Breaking Bow Talisman.
Li Shiming nodded heavily. Only when a Jindan cultivator and his magic weapon are permanently damaged can he obtain a talisman. It can be seen how precious this talisman is.
At the same time, this preciousness also represents Yin Shilan's deep affection, making him feel the heavy bond of love.
"I encountered a strange thing and was just about to ask you about it!" Li Shiming changed the subject and continued, "A sea of starlight has formed here, and all the knowledge of formations I have learned has turned into starlight."
Yin Shilan listened to his words, her almond-shaped eyes filled with surprise.
Of course she knew what this meant, because she reached this state after she and Li Shiming had an epiphany.
Even though she knew that Li Shiming had an amazing talent for formations, she did not expect that Li Shiming would comprehend the Sea of Starlight so quickly.
"You have comprehended the sea of starlight, which is a transformation of a formation master. The sea of starlight is a prerequisite for a high-level formation master. Without the sea of starlight, it is impossible to arrange a high-level formation. I believe you have already felt it!" Speaking of formations, Yin Shilan looked focused.
"So that's it!" Li Shiming nodded.
The amount of calculations required for advanced formations is so huge that without the characteristics of the Starlight Sea, temporary calculations will not be able to cope with the massive calculations of advanced formations.
Of course, this does not include him who owns IBM z15. This is why Yin Shilan values him very much. Before the Starlight Sea, he possessed extremely powerful computing capabilities.
The Starlight Sea is useless for new formations, so formation masters need to keep learning and add a large amount of formation experience to the Starlight Sea before they can cope with the calculations of various advanced formations.
"You are now qualified to take the assessment for an intermediate formation master, and you can do missions with me in the future!" Yin Shilan said with a smile.
"Wait a little longer, I will consolidate my knowledge of formations first!" Li Shiming said with a look of regret, as if he couldn't bear to give up the opportunity to complete the mission with Yin Shilan.
So even though he refused to take the assessment for the intermediate formation master, Yin Shilan did not blame him at all.
What Li Shiming was considering was that he was too busy recently and had too many things planned to do. The assessment of the intermediate formation master had to wait until he had some free time.
Besides, his realm was too low, and he didn't want to be too dazzling.
After bidding farewell to Yin Shilan reluctantly, both of them enjoyed being with each other, but they both knew that monks must ensure their own time.
Li Shiming sent another message to Yunze and ordered another batch of goods.
"Junior Brother Li, although the sales of 'Thousand Miles of Vision' are good, you won't have so many spirit stones to earn after saturation. You also have to consider the future!" Yunze's usual persuasion came quickly.
This did not affect Li Shiming's order. Yunze also knew that such persuasion was useless, but as a friend, Yunze still tried his best to persuade him.
Li Shiming smiled as he looked at the information on the identity jade disc. This Senior Brother Yunze had no idea how dangerous the business world was in his previous life. He had many ways to earn spirit stones.
But the most important thing now is to proceed according to the plan immediately.
He returned to the underground space, where the three corpses and the bronze corpse were in the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Array'.
The three corpses were the body of Wei Yun, a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, as well as the bodies of a seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator and an eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator.
Among them, the body of Wei Yun, who was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, was badly damaged, with only the bones intact.
At this time, the three corpses were covered with medicinal liquid, and were being nourished by the cold spiritual power in the "Netherworld Ghost Realm Formation".
Li Shiming's consciousness was connected to IBMz15. After experimenting with the power of the middle-grade Gatling weapon, he became more determined about the plans he had previously conceived.
The power of the mid-grade Gatling gun was indeed good, but it was far from what he had expected.
A mid-grade magical weapon, Gatling gun, cost him a full ten thousand spirit stones. Even if he thought he was wealthy, this was still a huge fortune.
These ten thousand spirit stones do not include the formation and additional spells mentioned above.
However, the middle-grade magical weapon Gatling gun couldn't even quickly deal with an eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator, which made him a little disappointed.
The solution is simple, which is to increase firepower output.
If one mid-grade Gatling gun is not enough, then use two. If two are not enough, then use more.
Of course, the middle-grade magical weapon Gatling needs to be controlled. Even if the bronze corpse has two hands, it can only control two middle-grade magical weapons Gatling at most.
He saw a paper from a young graduate student in the medical school in the IBM z15 database. The paper was a bit unorthodox, but it gave him great inspiration.
"On the Feasibility Study of Three Heads and Six Arms in Medicine", just by looking at this paper, you can tell that this young graduate student is not a serious graduate student.
The young medical graduate student was inspired by seeing a conjoined twin who had two heads and four arms and lived to adulthood.
The medical graduate student wondered whether the legendary creature with three heads and six arms was also a conjoined twin, and he conducted theoretical research in this regard.
"On the Feasibility Study of Three Heads and Six Arms in Medicine" is his research result. Although the research title sounds a bit like a legendary story, the content is extremely rigorous.
It was after reading this paper that Li Shiming came up with the idea of how to transform the bronze corpse.
He has a fear of insufficient firepower. If he has as many as six mid-grade Gatling guns, with a speed of 180 ice crystal bullets per second, can he withstand it if he encounters a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining?
After analysis by IBMz15, the transformation of the bronze corpse into one with three heads and six arms has a theoretically high success rate.
The most troublesome problem encountered in body transformation is rejection reaction. Even if the bodies of two different people are compatible in every aspect, unknown rejection reaction may still occur.
Not to mention that the surgery involves the head, which is equivalent to a head transplant. In previous life practice, the patient would only survive for a short time before dying.
But Li Shiming believed that he could succeed, because what he wanted to transform was not a normal human being, but a bronze corpse.
There is no need to consider any rejection reactions with the bronze corpse, let alone the risk of surgical failure. The most that can be done is to restore the bronze corpse.
With the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Formation' in place, the damage suffered by the bronze corpse will be recovered quickly.
This time when he went out, he obtained two complete corpses of the late Qi Refining stage, which could provide materials for transformation. When he collected the two corpses, he used corresponding drugs to preserve them.
Before formally transforming the bronze corpse, Li Shiming planned to strengthen it first.
After all, this time we got the skeleton of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. The skeleton of the cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage can replace the skeleton of the bronze corpse. After being assimilated by the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Formation', the bronze corpse will become even more powerful.
The basis of everything is the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Array'. Without the help of the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Array' and the secret method of corpse refining and transformation obtained from Ren Fei'er, he would not have had any ideas in this regard.
The bronze corpse was put into the computer room, and the third-grade sword base once again transformed into a scalpel.
With the bronze corpse's current defensive power, if it weren't for the third-grade sword foundation, it would probably require a spiritual weapon to break it easily.
Although he had the spiritual weapon, he lacked the spiritual power to control it, and the spiritual weapon was useless in his hands.
The third-grade sword base is still better. Relying on the third-grade material alone, it can easily break the defense of the bronze corpse without the help of spiritual power.
Li Shiming started the experiment with a piece of foot bone to see if his idea could succeed.
He replaced the bronze corpse's foot bones with a section of the foundation-building corpse's foot bones. The operation was very quick, and after it was completed, he moved the bronze corpse out of the machine room and put it back into the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Array'.
The ghost realm created by the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Formation', a magic formation made of third-grade spiritual objects, is extremely easy to use to strengthen a bronze corpse in the Qi Refining Stage.
If it weren't for the limitations of the copper corpse's own absorption and fusion, the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Array' alone would be able to quickly upgrade the copper corpse to the level of an iron corpse.
During the several months in the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Array', the Bronze Corpse's strength was raised from the seventh level of Qi Refining to the eighth level. This shows how powerful the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Array' is.
But it was only at this time that Li Shiming truly discovered the power of the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Formation'. He used a secret method of transformation on the foot bones that had been replaced by the bronze corpse.
It took less than ten minutes for the bronze corpse's replaced foot bones to be transformed into refined corpse bones, and completely merged with the bronze corpse's entire body bones.
Li Shiming checked the strength of the foot bones, which were obviously harder than other bones, as if they had been upgraded to a higher level. Although they might not have reached the level of Iron Corpse's first-level bones, they were not much different.
The initial experiments gave him great confidence, and he began to transform the bronze corpse's bones step by step.
From feet to head, even the skull was carefully disassembled and then replaced.
That is to say, the computer room space allows for micron-level surgery. Otherwise, the failure rate of such operations in the outside world would be terribly high.
Even if it is a bronze corpse, its brain is where the corpse-refining spirit is located. If you are not careful, the corpse-refining spirit will be damaged, which will directly destroy the bronze corpse's soul. There is a very high failure rate for head surgery.
You can tell this by looking at what is described in the secret method of transformation.
The transformation secret method strongly does not recommend transforming the skull of a corpse. That is because the predecessors had experienced too high a failure rate, and used this text to warn future generations.
Li Shiming seemed bold, but in fact every step was carefully calculated. Every time a bone was replaced, the bronze corpse would be placed in the ghost realm of the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Array' to perform the secret transformation method.
When the bronze corpse completed the first step of transformation, although it still had the aura of the eighth level of Qi Refining, hidden inside it was a skeleton of a Qi Refining peak level close to that of an iron corpse.
This skeleton will increase the speed at which the bronze corpse is promoted in the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Formation', allowing it to become an iron corpse more quickly.
However, Li Shiming would not allow the bronze corpse to be promoted to iron corpse too quickly. The bronze corpse was not his original corpse, and the controllable strength difference range was the Qi Refining Stage. If it exceeded the Qi Refining Stage, the corpse would resist, and even forcibly break free from the blood contract and counterattack its master.
The transformation entered the second step, and the bronze corpse was sent into the machine room again. This time, two corpses in the late stage of Qi Refining were also sent in.
The modification of the three heads was to separate two more cervical vertebrae from the seventh cervical vertebra, share the lower spine, and use the pelvis of two corpses to transform them into stronger shoulder blades to support more arms.
Although the bronze corpse is a refined corpse with extremely strong self-recovery ability and the existence of the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Formation', the flaws in the transformation do not have a big impact on the bronze corpse.
But he still insisted on connecting every nerve, every blood vessel, even the smallest capillaries.
The three heads of the bronze corpse control its two arms respectively. The original head is fine, but the two newly added heads are more complex than one can imagine.
Fortunately, Li Shiming used his consciousness to perform the surgery in the computer room. With micron-level operation, the work was only complicated but not difficult.
The two newly added heads and four arms, from bones to nerves to muscles, were all connected. The medical graduate student probably never imagined that that fantastic and absurd paper would be realized by Li Shiming in another world.
Li Shiming sutured the skin using cosmetic needles, treating it as a practice of surgical skills.
Of course, this should be more of a show of skill. Even if there are no audiences, in his previous life, being a surgeon was a profession he envied very much. Now, not only does he have the ability to perform surgeries, he has also achieved a level that no one in his previous life could reach.
