After seeing off his senior sisters and brothers, Li Shiming was finally able to take a good look at his own cave.
He felt very good about his eldest sister and three brothers. His eldest sister was extremely generous. Although it was the first time that he met his second and third brothers, they were not awkward at all, which could be seen from their playfulness with each other.
You have to know that the second and third senior brothers are cultivators in the middle and late stages of foundation building, and they are in charge of many sect cultivators outside. Their status and position make it impossible for them to relax too much.
Only when facing his fellow disciples would he let go of his temperament and let himself go.
Not to mention Xu Chuan, who treated Li Shiming as a close friend.
Everything was so ideal that Li Shiming felt that choosing Shushan Sect was the right decision.
He walked through the cave hall, which was a collection room with some shelves made of spiritual wood, but the shelves were empty at this moment.
He thought about it, then took out some of his previous spoils and placed them on the shelf.
All the spoils that can be taken out are spiritual weapon level.
These spiritual weapons were either unsuitable or of low quality, but they were all memorable items and testaments to his adventurous experiences.
With these spiritual weapons in the collection room, it no longer seems empty.
He also took out the tables and chairs he had obtained from the Six-Fingered Sound Demon's cave in the study, put out the big bed in the bedroom, and arranged all kinds of furniture in the corresponding places in the cave.
These pieces of furniture are all made of second-grade spiritual wood, and are too luxurious to be used as supplies for foundation-building monks.
But who can blame him for having it ready? With the spirit stones in his hands, he doesn’t need to sell spiritual objects to get spirit stones.
After he arranged everything, the cave finally felt like home.
According to the normal cultivation time of a foundation-building cultivator, his time in this cave would not be short.
He came to the warehouse, where six storage bags were placed. These were gifts from the six Jindan elders.
Among the six Jindan elders, the gifts given by five of them were four-colored spiritual fruits and a set of second-grade top-level spiritual weapon materials.
The four-colored spiritual fruits are also of the second grade. Just by taking all of these four different colored spiritual fruits, even if one does not practice body-refining techniques, they can improve the physical fitness of the foundation-building cultivators.
The second-grade top-grade spiritual weapon materials can allow foundation-building cultivators to customize spiritual weapons according to their own wishes, which is more appropriate than giving spiritual weapons directly.
There are weapon makers in the sect, but what they lack is good spiritual materials.
The only difference was Master Ma’s gift, which was a jade slip and looked the most shabby.
But after checking the jade slip, Li Shiming knew that this gift was the most important.
The jade slip contained a complete method of alchemy, including the initial preparation of elixirs, the process of starting the alchemy furnace, and the three methods of alchemy.
'Green Willow Spirit Sensing Art', 'Golden Sun Fire Control Art', 'Seven Fingers Pill Collecting Art', he didn't know the value of the art of alchemy, but he had obtained some books related to alchemy before, but never this kind of art.
From this we can see that the alchemy method given by Master Ma is not simple.
This was equivalent to paving a path for him to make alchemy, or at least allowing him to easily get started in alchemy.
Li Shiming took out the contact card and sent a message to Yin Shilan.
He and Yin Shilan are no longer cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, so they can no longer communicate at a fixed time every day as they did back then. Instead, they have changed to leaving messages to each other.
This way of leaving messages can avoid disturbing the other party's practice. A foundation-building cultivator's retreat may last for several months.
He told Elder Su about how he had become his disciple and now owned his own sacred peak, then he put away the contact card.
Walking out of the cave, he looked at the spiritual fields and spiritual fruit trees all over the mountain. Since he took over, Chijian Peak became his private property, so the spiritual plant husband originally arranged for him also completed his mission.
Normally, in this situation, the cultivator needs to take out the spirit stones and ask the spirit plant husband to come for help, and then take over after the spirit plant husband has his followers.
However, Li Shiming himself is a spiritual plant husband. He activated the "Spring Breeze Nourishing Things Technique" that had not been used for a long time, and a dark cloud appeared in the sky.
The spiritual power in his body at this time is no longer as little as it was in the Qi Refining Stage. The powerful spiritual power allows him to continuously perform the "Spring Breeze Nourishing Things Technique". Before the first dark cloud has fully gathered, the second dark cloud has already appeared.
Dozens of consecutive 'Spring Breeze Nourishing Things Techniques' made Chijian Peak completely covered with dark clouds. Under the mutual influence of the dark clouds, a spiritual rain with vitality fell, nourishing every spiritual plant on Chijian Peak.
He could feel the sound of the spiritual plants growing in the spiritual rain and the roots extending in the spiritual soil.
Senior Sister Ye Jingxian worked as fast as her character. On the third day, she led three late Qi Refining cultivators to Chijian Peak.
During the three days, apart from practicing, Li Shiming also studied the Sword Holding Peak formation. He already had a preliminary plan to strengthen it.
However, due to the lack of materials for the formation, he was unable to start.
"Junior brother, I brought someone to you!" After seeing Li Shiming, Ye Jingxian pointed at the late Qi Refining cultivator beside her.
"Big Sister, why are there only female cultivators?" Li Shiming asked with a frown when he saw three cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage.
"Junior brother, what are you dissatisfied with female cultivators?" Ye Jingxian's aura suddenly increased, and a slender big hand seemed to be about to move.
"Senior sister, female cultivators are great, I'm very satisfied!" Li Shiming then remembered that the senior sister was also a female cultivator, and quickly changed his words.
To be honest, when I am with my senior sister, I always forget that she is a female cultivator.
"That's good. They are all spirit plant husbands. Here is the contract. You just need to sign it. I have something to do, so I'll leave first!" Ye Jingxian turned around and was about to leave.
"Big Sister, I have something else to ask you!" Li Shiming called out hurriedly. Seeing Ye Jingxian stop, he continued, "I want to buy some materials. Is there any business in the sect that I can cooperate with?"
"Of course you should go to our business to purchase materials and let Ye Lingyun help you contact them!" The eldest sister said, pointing at one of the three followers.
Ye Jingxian left in a hurry, leaving behind three female cultivators and the contract.
Li Shiming looked at the three beautiful female cultivators and felt a headache. He did not expect that the eldest sister and two brothers had chosen female cultivators from their families to send over.
The thoughts behind this are self-evident, but unfortunately he doesn't have such thoughts.
From the contract, he learned the names of the three followers.
"Ye Lingyun, please contact the people from the company for me. I need to meet with him!" Li Shiming ordered Ye Lingyun.
"Yes, sir!" Ye Lingyun bowed in response.
"The three caves on the mountainside belong to you. You must take good care of the spiritual plants in the mountain. I will seal the top of the mountain with a formation. Don't disturb me if nothing is necessary!" Li Shiming instructed the three followers.
After giving these instructions, he no longer cared about his followers.
Since they were selected, they were capable of taking good care of the spiritual plants in the mountains, he believed this.
As for the treatment, it is too early to say now, we will talk about it after some time.
Being able to enter the sect to practice is the best treatment for the three followers. The spiritual energy and environment in the sect are not what they can enjoy in their family.
The merchant arrived quickly, and Li Shiming received him at a place on the top of the mountain.
"Zhuo Rui from Tianmu Trading Company greets the fifth young master!" Zhuo Rui, who was at the initial stage of foundation building, bowed and saluted as soon as they met.
After hearing this, Li Shiming knew that Tianmu Trading Company was his master's business.
With the title of Tianmu, who would dare to do this without the master's permission, and Zhuo Rui called him the Fifth Young Master.
Li Shiming felt much more relieved. He did not need much discount from Tianmu Trading Company. He just wanted the company to help him buy the materials he wanted. At least he would not have to worry about the issue of spirit stones in the short term.
"Fellow Daoist Zhuo, I have made a list here. Can you help me see if there are any difficulties?" Li Shiming asked as he handed over the list he had prepared long ago.
Zhuo Rui took the list and was immediately shocked by it.
It’s not that there are any precious spiritual objects on the list, but the variety and quantity of the items on the list are simply too large.
In particular, among the large number of mortal objects, there are many rare mortal objects. Collecting these mortal objects requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and you can't earn much spirit stones.
If it were any other cultivator in the sect, Zhuo Rui would have directly rejected the order, but the one in front of him was Elder Su’s new disciple.
"Fifth Young Master, ordinary items require some time to prepare, but the rest of the spiritual items will be delivered soon!" Zhuo Rui replied with a smile.
"Whatever spirit stones you need, just deduct them from this Beishu Trading Company's jade storage token!" Li Shiming took out a Beishu Trading Company's jade storage token and handed it to Zhuo Rui.
Zhuo Rui glanced at the jade token stored in Beishu Trading Company, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
There are 1.21 million low-grade spirit stones on it, and even 60,000 medium-grade spirit stones. If Li Shiming had been a disciple of Elder Su for decades, it would be easy to have such a fortune.
But I heard that Li Shiming came from Tianhai Island, a place with scarce resources. Where did he get so much wealth?
However, with Li Shiming's current status and position, he does not have to worry about any cultivator coveting his wealth.
The main reason is that there is Elder Su behind him. Between the consequences of offending Elder Su's faction and these wealth, any cultivator would be wary of the former.
"Fifth Young Master, why don't you wait until the goods are delivered before settling the payment!" Zhuo Rui would not collect any deposit at this time. He knew Li Shiming's spending power, so he didn't have to worry about Li Shiming using his identity to delay payment.
Although Tianmu Trading Company is supported by Elder Su, it is not just Elder Su's trading company. Many other Jindan elders have shares in it.
In the following days, Li Shiming continued to strengthen the formation of Chijian Peak.
When he first entered the sect, he was originally required to complete some tasks, but since he was accepted as a disciple by Elder Su, there were no mandatory tasks.
Of course, if Li Shiming wants to obtain contribution points from the sect, he still needs to complete tasks.
This gave him a lot of free time, and after a month of work, he had transformed the formation of Chijian Peak.
There is not much difference in defensive effect from before. His transformation is mainly targeted. He closed the top of the mountain and strengthened the isolation effect of the Sword-holding Peak.
The large formation on Zhijian Peak is the first level of isolation, the top of the mountain is the second level of isolation, and the cave is the third level of isolation. It can be said that it is impossible for any cultivator to explore his secrets without disturbing the large formation.
In addition, based on his research on the space formation in the cave hall, he built a separate space for himself.
This space is connected to the cave and cost nearly 500,000 spirit stones to build, with the spirit stones mainly spent on space formation materials.
He built a huge space expanded by a space formation deeper into the mountain in the cave.
The space here was created to rebuild the factory.
All the heavy equipment he had built before was taken out and placed in this space, which became his new research and manufacturing factory.
After the research and manufacturing plant was rearranged, the first task was to manufacture Fresnel reflectors.
The thirty-fifth day after entering the sect is an important time.
At the top of Chijian Peak, 1,500 improved Fresnel reflectors are distributed throughout the mountain, covering all available space.
The bases of these 1,500 Fresnel reflectors are all connected to universal rotating devices, and their rotation directions can be controlled by electric motors.
All Fresnel reflectors are connected to a data processing device via data cables. This data processing device stores one month's worth of analysis data on the time and position of the sun rising every day.
And these data will continue to accumulate, and through these analysis data, the time and direction of the sun rising the next day can be determined.
When Li Shiming got the skill of "Purple Air Coming from the East", he had this idea, and he also conducted a small-scale experiment and achieved success.
Today, he would maximize the results of his experiment, and if the top of the mountain was not so small, he would build more Fresnel reflectors.
The top of Chijian Peak was blocked by a formation. Neither the three followers in the mountain nor the monks outside the mountain could see the situation on the top of the mountain.
Li Shiming sat at the highest point on the mountain top, with his eyes closed and facing due east. He could feel the state of the sun in the distance without opening his eyes.
All Fresnel reflectors, under the control of the data processing equipment, began to adjust the angles of the Fresnel reflectors.
This program is the result of Li Shiming's reference to the existing research results in the IBM z15 database. Solar power stations need to face the sun at all times, so there is a set of analysis and management programs for the direction of the sun.
What Li Shiming needs to do is to localize this program, re-fill the solar data collected here for one month into the analysis and management program, and generate a solar tracking program for this world.
Of course, all he required was the precise orientation of the sun at the moment of its rise. In this regard, he also relied on the data he had collected previously. Although that data was from Tianhai Island, it was still of reference value.
Before the start, he was still a little worried, mainly because the program had not been tested in practice, but had only been simulated tested inside the IBM z15.
