Li Shiming was about a hundred miles outside the sect, but this place could not be considered as leaving the mountain gate because it was still within the highest monitoring range of the sect's formation.

When Jindan cultivators arrive here, they will be discovered by the sect's formation.

He flew upwards and stopped only when he reached an altitude of ten thousand meters.

At this point, the monitoring capability of the large formation below becomes much weaker. After all, this is close to the thirty-third heaven, and the spiritual power will be greatly disturbed.

He took out a rocket from his space ring. Since becoming a guest of Beishu Trading Company, Beishu Trading Company would do its best to meet any of his needs.

A super large trading company like Beishu Trading Company is certainly not comparable to the small trading company he had cooperated with on Tianhai Island.

All kinds of items, whether spiritual or mortal, will be delivered no matter how many as long as he can provide the name.

This allowed him to produce sufficient quantities of liquid hydrogen to conduct his experiments at will.

As for the rocket's shell, this kind of ordinary metal is easy to make, and with the reinforcement of the Red Sun Spirit Fire, it is no worse than the aerospace alloys of previous lives.

The huge rocket was fixed on the launch pad, which was no ordinary object but a modified flying boat.

The launch pad was suspended ten thousand meters in the air, holding up the huge rocket.

Li Shiming checked the time and recalibrated the time on the chip inside the rocket with the time on the monitoring instrument.

Since he was the only one doing the experiment, there was no need to consider any sense of ceremony.

With a thought, he started the rocket's engine, and flames shot out downwards.

All the fixing clips on the launch pad automatically separated, and the rocket slowly flew upwards under the powerful thrust.

He did all this here without worrying about being discovered by other monks. With his status and position, some excessive personal hobbies would not cause any trouble.

Besides, he is known as a genius weapon refiner, so it is normal for him to experiment with weapon refining methods.

After the rocket enters the range of the Thirty-Three Heavens, the condition of the rocket can only be determined through monitoring instruments.

The advantage of launching a rocket at an altitude of ten thousand meters is that it saves a lot of fuel. This kind of rocket launcher that can float at an altitude of ten thousand meters would not be possible with the technology of the previous life if it were not for the use of immortal cultivation.

Of course, since the rocket was fired directly this time, the fuel consumed was much more than that of a normal rocket launch.

With the two phases eliminated, according to IBMz15's calculations, the fuel is sufficient for the rocket to reach the specified altitude.

As the first stage of the rocket separated, the rocket had flown out of the dense atmosphere and the earth's gravity became extremely weak.

The engine of the second stage rocket ignites, pushing the rocket further upward until it reaches the designated height.

Li Shiming, who was standing below, had horror in his eyes. His mind was constantly focused on the data from IBMz15, which revealed some of the secrets of this world to him.

"Turn on the camera function!" When the rocket separated in the second stage and the arrow part of the rocket relied on the last bit of fuel to maintain its altitude, he moved his hands and muttered to himself in a deep voice.

Although he had guessed some facts from the previous five experiments, when he actually confirmed his guesses through this experiment, he still couldn't believe his discovery.

The camera function on the rocket was turned on, but since there was not much fuel left, he could not guarantee how long the rocket could stay at that altitude.

Unlike his initial idea of ​​deploying surveillance satellites in the sky, after many experiments, he has become less interested in deploying surveillance satellites and is more interested in pursuing the truth.

The rocket lasted for thirty-five seconds before eventually running out of fuel and falling. It rubbed against the atmosphere at high speed during its fall and turned into a fireball.

Li Shiming did not feel any regret for the sixth failure, nor did he feel sad for the loss of a rocket.

Unlike his previous life, the value of everything in the world of immortal cultivation is extremely low. Even if it weren't for his request, Beishu Trading Company would not accept an order of such low value.

The biggest cost of an ordinary rocket is its time.

Yes, the time of an alchemy master is extremely precious. The manufacturing factory he built on Chijian Peak using space formations, the cost of the time he spent there is billions of times the value of the materials used in the experiment.

Li Shiming came to the projection room where the manufacturing work was done, and he imported the video recorded by the monitoring equipment into the projection equipment.

This place, including the entire manufacturing plant, is different from the outside world of immortal cultivation.

Everything here was built in the style of his previous life. Although the projection room was used by him alone, it was still built in the style of a small cinema.

The decoration and internal equipment are the results of his efforts over the years.

The items that seemed ordinary in his previous life were all made possible by his painstaking efforts to restore the technology.

That is to say, in the world of cultivating immortals, one has the help of divine thoughts and the vast amount of technical data in IBM z15. Otherwise, it would be simply wishful thinking for one person to restore the technology of his previous life.

Especially after he learned how to refine equipment, he no longer needed to use electric arc furnaces to manufacture many equipment. Instead, he used the Red Sun Spirit Fire, which saved a lot of time and allowed him to accomplish so many things in just two years.

After he sat down, a picture appeared on the screen in front of him.

The picture was a bird's-eye view of the earth. What made his scalp tingle was that he did not see the edge of the earth. He only saw the entire Beishu continent and some islands close to the Beishu continent, and outside was the ocean.

Even though we knew that this land was extremely vast, we didn't expect that only the Northern Shu continent would be captured through ultra-high altitude photography.

You know, at this altitude, in previous lives, one could have captured the outline of a planet.

What shocked him even more was the curvature of the earth. He originally thought that the earth was flat. This was based on data sent back from multiple failed rocket launches, which were analyzed by IBMz15.

But according to this picture, the earth still has a curvature, but the curvature is too small, so small that if the earth under his feet is still a sphere, he can't imagine how big this planet is.

He shook his head. It seemed that his original satellite plan would be ruined. Judging from this picture, he would need to overturn all his previous research on space and come up with a new set of space theories.

He is not short of time. In the current foundation-building stage, he can live for two hundred years. Once he breaks through to the golden elixir stage, his lifespan will increase to five hundred years.

He had plenty of time to re-study and formulate a set of space theories that suited this world, but this time would definitely not be short, so he decided to put aside his desire for space for the time being.

Of course, there are alternative ways. At an altitude of ten thousand meters, close to the thirty-third heaven, he can use drones to set up temporary low-altitude satellites.

Few cultivators are willing to approach the 10,000-meter mark, mainly because it is too dangerous. The cultivators' control of height is not as accurate as his.

For most cultivators, the altitude they fly in the air will not exceed three thousand meters. The awe of high altitudes is something that cultivators develop from the moment they first become cultivators. Only cultivators at the Jindan stage or above can enter the Thirty-third Heaven.

Due to the scarcity of cultivators at the Jindan stage and above, and the vastness of the sky, the drone was equipped with a formation pattern that concealed the fluctuations of spiritual energy, and only used radio microwaves from the previous life to communicate with the ground.

This radio microwave, which has nothing to do with spiritual energy, will not be noticed by monks, greatly reducing the risk of being discovered.

Li Shiming shifted his research target to drones that can stay in the air for a long time. In this regard, it is much simpler because there is no need to consider the limitation of using ordinary objects.

His equipment refining skills are already extremely high, and his formation skills are close to that of a formation master. He has also experienced several years of study and research in mechanical engineering and electronic science. It can be said that he has combined the wisdom of both his previous life and the world of immortal cultivation.

The most difficult energy problem in the previous life was the easiest to solve. The spirit stone was very small, but it stored a large amount of spiritual energy inside.

If medium-quality spirit stones are used, the converted power is enough for the drone to fly for several months.

While Li Shiming was doing his research, his clone Li Yuanba in the Ten Thousand Mountains had to come out again.

Two years is an extremely short period of time for any cultivator, but during these two years, Li Yuanba's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.

Li Yuanba, sitting next to the five magic-level flying swords on the top of Wanjian Peak, had his aura almost integrated with that of Wanjian Peak. It seemed that his sword intent was indistinguishable from that of Wanjian Peak.

If there were any cultivators in the Senluo Sect who knew him, they would probably be shocked at how fast his cultivation was increasing.

The aura on his body has already reached the late stage of foundation building. In just two years, he has improved from the middle stage of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building, and is close to the peak stage of foundation building. This is an extremely unimaginable speed of cultivation.

But in fact, this speed of cultivation was achieved naturally. In addition to the assistance of a large number of top-level elixirs, it was also due to the influence of the killing of Niu Ziru, a Jindan cultivator, on his sword intent.

Since returning to Wanjian Peak that time, Li Yuanba's sword intent has been growing at an extremely fast rate.

A breeze suddenly arose on Wanjian Peak, and the wind grew stronger and stronger.

If you sense it carefully, you will find that it is not the wind, but he is separating his sword intent from the connection with Wanjian Peak.

Wanjian Peak is no longer the same as it was before. The location where each flying sword is inserted has been reinforced with weapon refining materials, and the reinforced parts of the ten thousand flying swords are connected to the entire Wanjian Peak.

At present, except for the core part of Wanjian Peak, Elder Lu spent countless efforts to design the design drawings of Wanjian Peak magic weapons and collected refining materials. Only the core third-grade refining materials have not been used, and the rest have been completed by Li Yuanba.

As long as Li Yuanba makes the core third-grade refining materials into the core of the Wanjian Peak magic weapon according to the requirements, Wanjian Peak can be turned into a magic weapon.

Naturally, this work can only be carried out after he reaches the Golden Core Stage. At present, he has done everything he can.

He withdrew the sword energy into his body and slowly stood up.

There was no concealment of his aura at all. His soaring sword intent coupled with his realm close to the peak of foundation building, his combat power has now increased several times compared to two years ago.

He also didn't expect that without the restrictions of sword intent, the effect of his cultivation by taking top-level elixirs would be so good.

Even Li Shiming's original body, the Immaculate Taoist Body, seemed to be slower than his cultivation speed.

Both parties are taking top-level elixirs to practice according to their maximum tolerance, and it all depends on each other's Taoist body's ability to absorb spiritual energy.

Li Shiming also has the help of the Third-grade Golden Lotus and the Pure Spirit Koi, not to mention that Li Shiming also uses the Third-grade Spirit Tea as his daily drink.

However, it is still not as fast as Li Yuanba's cultivation speed. The difference is probably related to the extremely yang and extremely yin body that Li Yuanba formed after practicing "Purple Air Coming from the East".

In order to balance the extreme yang and extreme yin, Li Yuanba maintained his human state during the day and practiced the "Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky".

At night, it transforms into a corpse-refining state. This state does not require the practice of any techniques to actively absorb spiritual energy. The body will naturally absorb the cold and yin energy between heaven and earth into the body.

This discovery came from two years ago, when he transformed himself into a corpse-refining state at night and sensed the changes in his body.

It seemed that due to taking top-level elixirs some time ago, the extreme yang state of the human state exceeded the extreme yin of the corpse refining state, so after the transformation into the corpse refining state, the body instinctively adjusted and madly absorbed the cold and yin air.

He discovered the abnormality on the second day. All the improvements in his human state and corpse state were reflected in the improvement of his realm, which meant that he had obtained double the effect of cultivation.

You should know that during the day, he took top-level elixirs to practice in his human form, but at night, he did not take top-level elixirs because the medicinal power needed time to be digested.

Between yin and yang, he was equivalent to taking double the amount of top-level elixirs every day to assist his own cultivation. Naturally, this effect made his cultivation speed exceed that of his original body.

It’s really not Li Yuanba’s fault that he didn’t realize this before.

First, he practiced the Taoist body transformed by "Purple Air Coming from the East", which was a Taoist body that had never appeared in any classics. The characteristics of this Taoist body required a long period of self-exploration.

Although it cannot be said that there will be no one like Li Yuanba who combines life and death in one, at least there is no record of anyone in ancient times having such a state in historical books.

Li Yuanba was born out of an accident, and because of Li Shiming's lack of knowledge about cultivating immortals, the accident was turned into a clone.

It is also because of the ability of Li Shiming's original body that the clone Li Yuanba was able to grow all the way and achieve this unknown Taoist body through "Purple Air Coming from the East".

Secondly, although Li Yuanba had his own cave before, it was in Wanjian Peak. Even if he was confident that Elder Jian would not discover his cave, he did not dare to transform into a corpse under Elder Jian's nose.

Only now that he was practicing alone did he have the opportunity to transform between the corpse refining state and the human state at any time.
