Li Shiming was sitting on the rocks of Tianji Island, while Yin Shilan was resting with her eyes closed beside him.

Shortly after he broke through the seventh level of Qi Refining, another Jindan cultivator returned to the Seven Star Island. The Jindan cultivators all went to discuss matters, so he and Yin Shilan stayed behind.

He felt the vortex of spiritual energy in his body, and the total amount of spiritual power increased greatly. He felt that if he used the super-quality 'Vajra Body Armor', he could last for more than a minute.

The change in the total amount of spiritual power is one aspect. The improvement in the quality of spiritual power makes his spiritual power more powerful. With his current spiritual power, if he does not rely on other means, he can defeat five or six of his previous selves just by fighting with spiritual power.

No wonder it was only from the late stage of Qi Refining that one gained the power to enter dangerous waters.

Only with such combat power can one have a certain ability to protect oneself in dangerous waters.

This unexpected promotion saved him a lot of time.

You have to know that during the period when he was at the peak bottleneck of the sixth level of Qi Refining, his clones could not give him any help, and he could only rely on himself to break through the bottleneck.

The middle to late stages of Qi Refining are the most difficult bottlenecks to overcome.

With his three spiritual roots talent, it is possible that he would be stuck for months or even years.

Li Shiming felt the condition of his body again. The improvement in strength and speed was extremely obvious. His strong physique allowed him to truly withstand top-grade attacking magic weapons with just his body.

In the current sect, most of the Qi Refining cultivators do not have high-quality magic weapons. He can fight against the Qi Refining late stage cultivators just by relying on the power of body refining.

If he had not made a mid-grade magical Gatling gun for the Bronze Corpse, he felt that he might not need the Bronze Corpse at all, because his current defense, strength, and speed all surpassed that of the Bronze Corpse at the peak of its Qi Refining state.

"The true meaning takes shape!" Li Shiming murmured to himself.

He learned what happened during his epiphany through the records of IBM z15.

The angry-looking phantom of a giant king kong that appeared behind him gave him a creepy feeling, which was beyond the scope of scientific understanding.

However, according to what Master Du Hai said, the transformation of true meaning into a human form is extremely beneficial for cultivators.

Especially seeing the look in Master Du Hai's eyes at that time, Li Shiming even suspected that if it weren't for Elder Yin, Master Du Hai would have kidnapped him back to the Wanfo Sect.

Thinking of Master Du Hai, he took out the Buddha amulet that Master Du Hai had given him and played with it in his hand.

The amulet is made of wood, but it is not ordinary wood, but a second-grade spiritual wood. Second-grade spiritual wood is the material for making spiritual tools. Using it to make a Buddha amulet shows how important the meaning represented by this Buddha amulet is.

"Shiming, please leave the amulet with me first!" Yin Shilan opened her eyes, stretched out her slender hand and said softly.

It was rare for her to ask for something, and the determination on her face made Li Shiming smile, and he handed the amulet to her.

Li Shiming understood that she was worried that he would join Buddhism.

In the past, Yin Shilan was not too worried, but Li Shiming, in front of his father and all the golden elixirs, unleashed the true meaning of the angry Vajra and transformed himself.

This amazing talent for Buddhist techniques even makes people wonder if Li Shiming is the reincarnation of some great Buddhist master.

At least Master Du Hai never had such thoughts when he gave away his amulets.

As long as Li Shiming enters the Wanfo Sect, there will naturally be a way to test whether Li Shiming is the reincarnation of a great Buddhist figure.

Yin Shilan put away the Buddha amulet with satisfaction, and the two smiled at each other. After several years of getting along, the meaning was self-evident.

Whether it was because of Li Shiming's increased cultivation or the continuous repairs that deepened his understanding of the Tianji Island formation, it only took them seven days to repair the Tianji Island formation.

On the other islands, there are still formation masters repairing the formations, but it seems that it cannot be completed in a short time.

Fortunately, Zhuge Xuan did not suggest helping those formation masters. It seems that the various sects are actually competing with each other in repairing formations.

During these seven days, the Jindan cultivators kept leaving and coming back, but judging from their expressions, the Jindan sword cultivator had not been discovered yet.

"We still have to stay on the island for a few more days. If you have nothing to do during these days, you can rest freely!" Zhuge Xuan ordered.

"Uncle-master, the remaining materials are for you!" Li Shiming took out a storage bag containing the materials and handed it over.

"You can keep the extra materials yourself. These materials are calculated based on the damage to the formation. What you can save is naturally yours!" Zhuge Xuan smiled and waved his hand.

Li Shiming's eyes lit up. There were quite a few good materials in this storage bag.

You should know that the Seven Star Island is where Jindan cultivators usually live. Although the materials used for the formation are not third-grade materials, there are quite a few second-grade materials.

The most important thing is that these formation materials are really useful to him. The power of a weapon he is researching can be increased with these materials.

The savings that Zhuge Xuan mentioned were due to Li Shiming's accurate calculations and minimal waste, which resulted in so many extra formation materials.

"This is for you too!" Yin Shilan was quick-witted. She saw Li Shiming's joy at being able to keep the formation materials, and handed her extra storage bag of formation materials to Li Shiming.

Li Shiming took it silently. There was no need for him to be polite.

In seven days, he built a small formation to accommodate himself in the large formation on Tianji Island and attracted some spiritual energy.

He didn't know what the spiritual veins of the Seven Star Island were like, but the spiritual energy he brought was no weaker than a mid-grade spiritual vein.

Back in the small formation, the isolation effect gave him a private space.

Of course, if a Jindan cultivator really wanted to spy, he could still forcibly penetrate the formation, but in that case the formation would naturally be broken, and he would be openly checking the privacy of the younger generation.

At least with the help of Yin Shilan, the golden elixir here will not do such a thing.

It was not easy for Li Shiming to summon his clone to assist him in his cultivation here, as the clone would make a lot of noise and would be easily discovered.

His consciousness entered the computer room. In the computer room, there was a long tube. One end of the tube was a cube, which looked like a long hammer from a distance.

The pipe is a top-grade blank, which he had customized from Qianlong Trading Company at a cost of 8,000 spirit stones. Together with the rest of the components, they are all top-grade blanks. The entire pipe plus the cube, the value of the blank alone exceeds 30,000 spirit stones.

This price was given by Qianlong Trading Company as a courtesy and they gave up most of their profits.

IBMz15 has been calculating and analyzing the energy system of this weapon. Li Shiming was planning to find a way to order the materials for the formation after returning, but he did not expect to get so many materials for the formation in this mission.

Moreover, the formation materials he obtained were all the sect's strategic materials. Even if they were ordered from Qianlong Trading Company, the quantity and quality would be much worse.

Li Shiming's gaze shifted from the top-grade blank to the unfinished formation on the side.

The reason why this formation was not completed, besides the lack of materials, the most important reason was that the formation knowledge had reached an advanced level, and his authority was not enough to learn advanced formation knowledge from the sect.

The ability to have this semi-finished formation is also thanks to the many trips to Zhenfeng to check the nodes, where I secretly learned some knowledge about the main nodes of Zhenfeng.

The formation of the Seven Star Island also had a part related to thunder, and because it needed to be repaired, it was open in front of him with almost no cover.

It can be said that his greatest gain this time, apart from unexpectedly being promoted to the late stage of Qi Refining and possessing the true meaning of transformation, was the additional knowledge he gained about thunder formations.

At this time, IBMz15 had redrawn a new formation design based on the formation materials he had obtained and the knowledge he had mastered.

Li Shiming only needs to complete the formation according to the formation design drawing.

Pieces of formation materials were taken out one by one, transformed into usable objects through various techniques, and loaded into the unfinished formation.

The formation slowly took shape from the semi-finished product, and a formation occupying half of the computer room space was successfully arranged.

The nine second-grade flags were a little small, but there was nothing that could be done about it, as second-grade materials were in short supply. He was able to make nine second-grade flags despite the shortage of second-grade materials, thanks to the precise calculations of IBMz15.

Li Shiming took out nine medium-grade spirit stones and placed them in the formation.

Then he separated his consciousness, and the clone stood up in the computer room and came to the formation. A spiritual thought acted on the formation, and then the formation started to work.

The only function of this formation is to produce thunder and lightning. It is not the previous "Shocking Clouds and Falling Thunder Formation", but an advanced formation.

The formation has not been named yet, or perhaps it has a name, but he learned it secretly and mastered all the knowledge, but does not know the name of the formation.

However, this formation is an important formation that constitutes the peak node of the Tianhai Sect's great formation. Its quality is so high that it definitely exceeds that of normal high-level formations.

Of course, due to reasons such as materials and space, the formation created by Li Shiming is only one percent of the power of the Zhenfeng node.

Electric snakes were swimming around in the formation. Their number increased from one to two, then three, until there were countless electric snakes swimming around in the formation.

"It's named after Yu Zhenfeng's thunder formation!" Li Shiming gave the formation a name. He had no intention of making the thunder formation public anyway.

The Thunder Array was successfully deployed. Although it occupied a large area, the electricity it generated was extremely astonishing, more than ten thousand times that of the 'Sky-shaking Thunder Array'.

Of course, there was no 'Thunderbolt Array' set up in the computer room. Even with the Thunder Array, he still maintained the existence of the perpetual motion generator, but simply channeled the electricity from the Thunder Array into the input end of the uninterruptible power supply.

Normally this input terminal is disconnected, and the perpetual motion generator is sufficient to power the IBMz15.

At present, all his calculations and analyses are relatively easy for the IBM z15, and have not yet reached the point where there is a shortage of power.

The biggest function of this thunder array is not to improve the electricity consumption of IBMz15, but to provide energy for new weapons.

The new weapon is the electromagnetic gun, and there is relevant research data in the IBMz15 database.

In fact, the principle of the electromagnetic gun is very simple, but the biggest problems encountered are the supply of electricity and the bearing capacity of the materials.

During high-speed firing, even the slightest deformation of the gun barrel can have catastrophic consequences.

The supply of electricity is the guarantee of the power and firing rate of the electromagnetic gun.

Li Shiming did not consider the problem of firing rate, as the firing rate was guaranteed by the mid-grade magical weapon Gatling.

When encountering a large number of enemies, six mid-grade Gatling guns are enough to clear out the relatively weaker enemies, but the electromagnetic cannon he needs is to target and kill the powerful ones among them.

He even estimated the enemy's strength to be at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and his requirement was that the electromagnetic cannon could pose a fatal threat to cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

If any monk heard of his plan, they would definitely think he was a madman.

But he had thought it over carefully and had it demonstrated by IBMz15. Through his contact with foundation-building monks and all the information about them that he had access to, he had formed certain criteria for judging the strength of foundation-building monks.

In order to break through the defense of a foundation-building monk, besides a faster bullet speed, the material of the bullet is also important.

In the past, electromagnetic cannons used bullets made of solid high-quality steel, but in the face of the defense of foundation-building monks, such bullets were obviously not enough.

Li Shiming was also unable to obtain strong enough materials, which required at least second-grade metal, which was the main material for making spiritual weapons.

It's impossible for him to consume a spiritual weapon every time he activates the electromagnetic cannon. He can't afford that with his wealth.

Not to mention, even Qianlong Trading Company cannot get the second-grade metal. The exchange price within the sect is that one or two taels of second-grade metal is several times more expensive than the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Li Shiming thought of the third-grade sword base. The third-grade sword base he used to practice the "Sword Demon Secret Book" had a strange characteristic, that is, after leaving the body, the third-grade sword base could be retracted into the body by turning it into countless tiny particles.

Because the third-grade sword base is, to some extent, an integral part of his body, and the third-grade sword base integrates his spirit.

Treat the third-grade sword base as a bullet and shoot it out through the electromagnetic cannon. After killing the enemy, there is no need to retrieve the bullet. You only need to activate the "Sword Demon Secret Book" and the bullets will automatically disperse and return to the body.

The most important thing is that the third-grade sword base can adjust its shape at will, making it more suitable to serve as an electromagnetic cannon bullet.

The electricity of the Thunder Array can be accumulated, and the electricity bound by the Thunder Array will increase as time goes by.

In order to make the top-grade weapon blank able to withstand the impact of lightning, Li Shiming used micron-level manipulation on the top-grade weapon blank and used the third-grade sword base and formation materials to draw a micro formation.

This work has been done on the mid-grade magical weapon Gatling. Although the formation is different, it is still familiar.

The complexity of the electromagnetic gun is that with the support of electricity, the rest of the structure is relatively simple.

All he needed to make was a flux compression device and an accelerator. The flux compression device converted electricity into magnetic energy, and the accelerator converted electromagnetic energy into kinetic energy of the projectile.

The formation designed by IBMz15 uses the formation knowledge of the immortal cultivation world to enhance the generation of magnetic energy and the more efficient conversion of electromagnetic energy into the kinetic energy of the shells. In addition, the entire electromagnetic gun is strengthened.

If Li Shiming could get the metal of a super-grade magic weapon, he would like to use it to make the main body of the electromagnetic cannon. Unfortunately, the best metal he can currently access is the metal of a top-grade magic weapon.
