Although the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Array' in Li Shiming's body has changed from using the five elements array energy as nodes to using five five elements golden elixirs as nodes, its effect has not weakened but has instead been enhanced.
Every ray of spiritual power he cultivates will be purified by the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Array' and transformed into the purest five elements of lightning spiritual power.
This pure five-element lightning spiritual power is the purest strength he can produce in his current realm, that is, the peak spiritual power of the early golden elixir stage.
This was also the reason why, despite the countless changes that his cultivation had undergone due to the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Array', he still felt that his efforts were worthwhile.
He can reach the combat power of his current realm in any realm. The only difference is the total amount of spiritual power.
However, in battles between monks, there is rarely a shortage of spiritual power. They either win or escape after being defeated. There is no way that spiritual power will be consumed.
"Hello, Master!" Li Shiming bowed to the two masters.
"It seems that your aura realm has stabilized. I wonder if you have refined the 'Five Elements Nine Revolutions Furnace'?" Elder Ma asked with a smile.
Li Shiming certainly understood what Elder Ma meant by asking this question. The 'Five Elements Nine Revolutions Furnace' was a magical furnace gifted to him by the sect. It was given to him when he became a master of alchemy.
When Elder Ma asked about the 'Five Elements Nine Revolutions Furnace', he was actually asking Li Shiming whether he could use the 'Five Elements Nine Revolutions Furnace' to make elixirs.
Li Shiming spent a month practicing, and the Red Sun Spirit Fire in his body had been upgraded to the third level. After refining the IBMz15, his life magic weapon, he also refined several other magic weapons.
His natal magic weapon has no combat power and cannot even provide defense. If he wants to protect himself, he will need to sacrifice a few more magic weapons.
With his vision, he no longer values some of the magic weapons he had obtained before.
Yes, magic weapons like those he had obtained from casual cultivators or ordinary golden elixirs were not really good magic weapons in his eyes. Refining such magic weapons would instead increase his mental burden.
In addition to his own magic weapon, IBMz15, Li Shiming currently has six other magic weapons that he has refined.
It's not that he is greedy. With the number of magic weapons in his hand, he only refined six of them, which was already the result of careful selection.
Naturally, anything that catches his eye is not an ordinary magic weapon.
First of all, there are two magic weapons obtained from Elder Lu of Senluo Sect, one is the flying sword magic weapon White Feather Sword, and the other is the flying boat magic weapon Meteor Ink Boat.
Elder Lu is the powerful elder of Senluo Sect, so the magic weapon he uses will not be bad. The most important thing is that the White Feather Sword is a flying sword that can be transformed into combat power immediately.
'Heart Sword', this jade flying sword was obtained from the space ring of Zhixin Arhat of Qianye Temple. It is an extremely powerful flying sword magic weapon in terms of both quality and power.
The Silver Light Sword and the Ink Feather Spirit Umbrella, these are two ancient magic weapons obtained from the ruins of the Five Qi Sect. As the spiritual energy of the two magic weapons has been lost extremely seriously, it will take him a long time to nurture them before they can be repaired.
Elder Su had checked it before and knew that the two magic weapons would require several years to repair, but he had five golden elixirs, which allowed him to nourish the magic weapons five times more effectively than an ordinary cultivator. He estimated that it would take at most a year for the two magic weapons to regain their former power.
The 'Heavenly Sound Destroying Harp' is an upgraded version of the 'Earthly Sound Destroying Harp', or it can be said to be a magic weapon passed down from the 'Heavenly Sound Secret Book'.
In the past, the Six-Fingered Sound Demon relied on the 'Heavenly Sound Destroying Harp' to fight against the pursuit of major sects. Although his end was rather miserable, it shows the terrifying power of the 'Heavenly Sound Destroying Harp' combined with the 'Heavenly Sound Secret Book' inheritance.
The last one is the magic furnace "Five Elements Nine Revolutions Furnace", which means he has five golden elixirs to refine at the same time, otherwise none of the magic furnaces can be used freely for a month.
"Master, I would like to apply to the sect for a recipe for the 'Qingyu Dianxing Pill' and its accompanying elixirs!" Li Shiming said with a smile.
"It seems that you are ready. It is a good choice to practice with the 'Qingyu Dianxing Pill'. I have prepared it long ago!" Elder Ma did not say anything about applying. He directly took out a elixir needed for the 'Qingyu Dianxing Pill' and said.
'Qingyu Dianxing Pill' is a third-grade elixir for auxiliary cultivation taken by mid-stage Jindan cultivators. The production areas of the two third-grade elixirs, the main ingredients of 'Qingyu Dianxing Pill', are controlled by Shushan Sect. Although the output is extremely low, it is stable.
A portion of the elixir 'Qingyu Dianxing Dan' would not cause too much loss even if Li Shiming failed in his first attempt to refine a third-grade elixir whose main ingredients were two third-grade elixir.
The most important thing is that this elixir belongs to the sect. Unlike private third-grade elixir, the sect can afford the loss of Li Shiming, the master alchemist, during his practice.
"It seems like I don't need to go out today!" Li Shiming couldn't help but shook his head and smiled when he saw that Elder Ma had already prepared the elixir.
It would take at least four to five hours to refine one furnace of a third-grade elixir with two third-grade spiritual herbs as the main ingredients. By the time he succeeded, it was already midnight.
"Try refining the elixir first. I believe that with your level, nothing will go wrong. There are many Jindan elders in the sect who are waiting for the results of your elixir refining!" Elder Ma waved his hand and said.
Li Shiming returned to the cave with the elixir, and the formation protected the cave again.
"I'm still a little anxious. I'm worried that he won't be energetic or have enough spiritual power during the alchemy process!" Elder Su said softly after Li Shiming left.
"You are worried too much. Shi Ming's talent for alchemy is rare in the world. With his good fortune, if he hadn't shown his talent for alchemy, something bad would have happened long ago!" Elder Ma replied with a smile.
Speaking of Li Shiming's good fortune, Elder Su sighed speechlessly.
What is good fortune? Just look at Li Shiming's promotion to the Golden Elixir realm and you will know what good fortune is. Countless dangers bring countless opportunities.
The process of making the elixir seemed doomed to fail, but in fact it not only allowed Li Shiming to succeed in making the elixir, but also to have a solid foundation.
Think about what happened to Li Shiming during his travels. It is normal for a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator to be attacked by a Jindan cultivator. Even a powerful Yuanying Stage cultivator had encountered this twice.
You have to know that he travels very rarely. With such a small number of trips, his experiences cannot be compared with those of even the monks who have been away for many years.
Just as Elder Ma said, if Li Shiming was not a master of alchemy and had not been protected by the Shushan Sect, there would be no peace.
It can be said that the refining process of 'Qingyu Dianxing Pill' did not encounter any trouble at all, and the entire alchemy process was extremely smooth.
Li Shiming once again felt that his decision to use IBM z15 as his life magic weapon was wise. When he was refining the elixir, his computing power and reaction ability were many times faster than when he contacted the IBM z15 in the computer room before.
The energy-based IBM z15 does not need to worry about overheating. If you want to increase computing power, you just need to increase the power input.
Under his divine consciousness, any change in the 'Five Elements Nine Revolutions Furnace' would be discovered and responded to immediately.
This time he made the elixir and placed it in the computer room. The micron-level control of the computer room space still played an extremely important role. Even though he had reached the Golden Core stage and used IBM z15 as his life-saving magic weapon, he still could not achieve micron-level control in the outside world at a microscopic level.
When he performed the 'One Hundred and One Points Pill Art', three illusory elixirs appeared above the three 'Green Feather Star-Pointing Pills', and then spiritual energy was injected into the pills.
He used two jade bottles to hold three 'Qingyu Dianxing Pills' in each. The three 'Qingyu Dianxing Pills' separated by the 'One Hundred and One Point Pill Art' could not be exposed, as it was an important means for him to accumulate resources for cultivation.
Besides, his reputation in alchemy is already famous enough, so he doesn't need to borrow the "One Hundred and One Points Alchemy Art" to enhance his fame.
I looked at the time and five hours had passed.
He picked up a jade bottle and walked out of the cave. It was already dark outside, and Elder Su and Elder Ma were still guarding outside.
"Master, I am glad to have accomplished your mission!" He handed over the jade bottle and said.
Elder Ma took the jade bottle, opened it, and probed it with his spiritual sense. Soon a smile broke out on his face.
Elder Su at the side also probed his spiritual sense and laughed out loud with Elder Ma.
In the jade bottle, the three 'Qingyu Dianxing Pills' are all third-grade high-level elixirs, and their quality is, as always, the highest among the third-grade high-level elixirs.
This is consistent with the characteristics of Li Shiming's alchemy. Nowadays, in the Northern Shu Continent, as long as the quality of the third-grade elixir reaches the highest quality among the advanced ones, it will definitely be considered to be refined by Li Shiming.
Other alchemy masters may also be able to refine third-grade high-level elixirs, but third-grade high-level elixirs also have subtle differences. The third-grade high-level elixir refined by Li Shiming is of higher quality than other third-grade high-level elixirs and is in a class of its own.
"Shiming, let's discuss your alchemy arrangements. What are your plans?" Elder Ma asked with a smile.
Elder Ma would not order Li Shiming to do anything. Li Shiming had grown up. Although he was only his registered disciple, he had surpassed him in status.
"How about opening the furnace once every ten days?" Li Shiming thought for a moment and asked.
"I know that refining pills will delay your cultivation time. Not to mention those outside the sect, even within the sect, there are many elders who are already holding elixirs and waiting for you to refine pills. How about this? The limit is two months. In the next two months, you open the furnace every three days. After two months, change to once every ten days!" Elder Su suggested.
The two masters didn't dare to let Li Shiming open the furnace once every ten days. If that happened, the elders in the sect would have to wait a long time before it was their turn.
Among them, he has a close relationship with the two masters, so letting Li Shiming start refining the elixir in advance can be considered a favor.
"Master Ma, it won't have any impact on you, right?" Li Shiming looked at Elder Ma and asked.
The reason why he planned to open the furnace once every ten days was, on the one hand, to consider the arrangement of practice time, and on the other hand, he was also thinking about Elder Ma.
With his level of spiritual refining, once he starts refining pills at full power, I'm afraid Elder Ma's alchemy karma will be much less, affecting Elder Ma's income.
"You don't have to worry about me. I've been refining pills for so many years, and I've wanted to take a break a long time ago. Besides, do you really think I can completely rest? You refine the elixir for the middle stage of the golden elixir, and I'll be the one to refine the elixir for the early stage of the golden elixir!" Elder Ma said with a smile, waving his hand.
After receiving an accurate response from Li Shiming, the two masters left Chijian Peak.
Li Shiming stood on the top of Chijian Peak. He looked around with a very sharp gaze, as if he could see through everything.
In fact, the scenery he saw was different from that seen by ordinary Jindan cultivators.
The first is the formation. In his eyes, the formation is composed of many spiritual power lines and energy nodes.
He sensed the most ordinary evening breeze, and as soon as he sensed it, he calculated the wind speed, wind direction, wind path, and predicted path, etc.
When he saw a spiritual tree, he would know how many leaves and branches the tree had, how many veins were on each leaf, the flow routes of spiritual energy in the tree, and so on.
The world in his eyes is extremely complicated, so complicated that ordinary monks would feel dizzy at just one glance.
But after a month of adaptation, he was able to normalize the information he saw.
Li Shiming stretched out his hand and drew an extremely complicated spell pattern in the air with his fingers. After three breaths, the spell pattern was completely completed, and the lightning spiritual power in the five golden elixirs in his body flowed into the spell pattern.
Just before the spell was about to be cast, he waved his hand to interrupt the release of the spell.
He was very satisfied with his casting speed. Three breaths seemed like a very long time.
In the battle of a Jindan stage cultivator, three breaths are enough for the enemy to attack many times.
But you have to know that he cast a Jindan-stage group attack spell from the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art'. The spell reached the third grade in the Jindan stage, and the third grade spell is rarely used in face-to-face combat.
Because the casting time of a third-grade spell is really too long, although it is extremely powerful, the casting preparation time is enough for the enemy to either attack first and interrupt the casting process, or flee far away from the spell attack range.
So under normal circumstances, third-grade spells are made into talismans, using third-grade spiritual ink on third-grade talisman paper to solidify the third-grade spells.
When the battle begins, the talisman can complete the casting process on its own without affecting the monk's battle.
The spell that Li Shiming just cast was called 'Thunder Cloud Spell', which was the most complicated of the three-grade spells of 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art'. Three breaths was the fastest casting speed that could be achieved in theory.
And he had only practiced the Thunder Cloud Technique for three days before he reached the theoretically fastest casting speed of the Thunder Cloud Technique.
It's not that the 'Thunder Cloud Technique' is easy to cast, quite the opposite in fact. According to the records in the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art', if you want to reach the theoretical fastest casting speed of three breaths, it is impossible to achieve it without hundreds of years of continuous practice.
There is almost no thunder cultivator who would waste hundreds of years practicing a spell that is extremely powerful but requires more than three breaths of preparation time.
The reason why Li Shiming could achieve the results of other cultivators who had practiced for hundreds of years in just three days was because of his natal magic weapon, IBMz15.
No matter how complicated the spellcasting process is, how precise the spiritual power operation requirements are, or how demanding the fault tolerance rate is, with the help of his natal magic weapon IBMz15, Li Shiming only needs a very short period of practice to achieve the most perfect spellcasting requirements.
Although three breaths are long, he has practiced the other three-grade thunder spells in the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art', such as the single-target attack spell 'Taixuan Divine Thunder', to the theoretical fastest casting speed of one breath, which has already formed combat power in frontal combat.
