If the early Nascent Soul cultivators from the Wanshou Sect knew what Li Shiming was thinking, they would probably beat him to death.
The fourth-grade high-level elixirs that he was somewhat disdainful of were the fourth-grade elixirs of theoretically the highest quality that an alchemy master could refine under normal circumstances.
After taking five fourth-grade top-level elixirs, he only had two fourth-grade top-level elixirs left in his hand.
Without thinking about these things anymore, the five Nascent Souls began to practice, and the spiritual energy flowed in the Nascent Souls' bodies according to the practice route of the Nascent Soul Chapter of the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Technique'.
The spiritual energy from the outside world is absorbed into the body, and then enters the Nascent Soul through the body.
The five Yuanyings maintained the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Formation', which allowed the five Yuanyings to communicate with each other's spiritual energy during their cultivation.
The most crucial thing is that after the spiritual power circulates in the "Five Elements Qi Gathering Array" of the five Nascent Souls, it will be converted into spiritual power that can only be possessed by the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.
Perhaps in the past, this kind of spiritual power at the peak of a small realm could only increase the combat power of the cultivator and had little impact on other things.
However, during the Nascent Soul Stage, the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Array' showed an extremely powerful effect.
The Nascent Soul is composed of spiritual power, spirit and vitality. The purpose of cultivation is to enhance spiritual power. The improvement of spirit is relatively not so important. When the spiritual power is improved to the peak of the early Nascent Soul, the realm of the Nascent Soul is also equal.
As long as all the spiritual power currently in Li Shiming's five Nascent Souls is replaced with the spiritual power of the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage by the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Array', the realms of the five Nascent Souls will be forcibly raised to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.
Of course, this peak realm of the early Nascent Soul stage is somewhat false, because the total amount of spiritual power in the Nascent Soul body is still very small, and it takes a long time to accumulate in order to break through to the middle Nascent Soul stage.
But the benefits are obvious. First of all, he can exert the peak strength of the early Nascent Soul stage in a short period of time. Although the total amount of spiritual power is not enough, the power has reached the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.
Secondly, as long as he continued to accumulate his spiritual power, there was no need to compress it, which greatly reduced the difficulty of his practice.
Why does it take an extremely long time for a Nascent Soul cultivator to practice? The main reason is that the spiritual power needs to be constantly compressed. The number of times the spiritual power is compressed depends on the cultivator's own talent and the level of the practice.
Only by compressing spiritual power to a certain degree can one reach the peak of the current small realm.
In the case of the five Nascent Souls in Li Shiming's body, he directly skipped all of these and reduced a lot of the workload of cultivation.
This was the reward he deserved. The difficulty of overcoming the tribulation was so great that it would be almost certain death for other cultivators. It was precisely because of the difficulty of overcoming the tribulation that it was shown that the five golden elixirs and the "Five Elements Qi Gathering Array" he created were not tolerated by heaven and earth.
Now is the time to reap the rewards. He has put in so much effort, and the benefits he gets now are the result of his hard work.
He didn't know about the cultivation situation of other early Nascent Soul cultivators. It took him a hundred days just to practice the 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Art'. After that, he continued to practice the 'Jade Purity Thunder Code', which took another hundred days.
As for the body-refining technique 'Tai Qing Xuan Gui Jue', because it acts on the body, he can continue to keep the body-refining technique 'Tai Qing Xuan Gui Jue' running while practicing.
'The Art of Human Reincarnation' is a spiritual practice. He put five brains into five Nascent Souls and practiced through separate brains.
In this way, he was able to cultivate all four techniques he practiced.
His situation is extremely rare. Generally speaking, a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage will only choose to practice his main technique after being promoted. Only when the main technique reaches a certain level will he consider practicing a secondary technique.
Not to mention that he had to practice both physical and mental exercises at the same time. If Li Shiming didn't have a lot of free brain time, he wouldn't be able to do such practice.
He secluded himself for two hundred days, but he did not stop refining the elixir.
What he announced to the public was that he had practiced a method of distracting his mind, which allowed him to do two things at the same time and he could still make pills while practicing.
At first, those early Nascent Soul cultivators did not believe that he had such ability, and the three Nascent Soul alchemy masters in the sect did not have such means.
The Spirit Dispersion Technique is not a particularly difficult technique to practice, and many cultivators can practice it. However, to say that one can practice the Spirit Dispersion Technique and refine pills at the same time is so difficult that it is not something that can be done just by thinking about it.
Whether it is cultivation or alchemy, it requires the cultivator to be extremely focused. The consequence of not being able to concentrate on cultivation is going astray, and the consequence of not being able to concentrate on alchemy is failure.
Li Shiming's solution was very simple. He accepted the sect's alchemy task, and the sect's deacon delivered the alchemy materials to the outside of the mountain, and Li Si took the alchemy materials.
When the first batch of fourth-grade intermediate elixirs for the early Nascent Soul stage were handed back to the sect, he also gained the trust of the early Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
During the two hundred days, Li Si perfectly did the job that an agent should do.
None of the Nascent Soul cultivators noticed anything special about Li Si, and they just thought that he was a servant that Li Shiming had recruited from outside.
They were just wondering why a great elder who specialized in physical training was willing to become Li Shiming's servant.
Li Shiming finished his first training, and the spiritual power in his body was about one percent of the total amount that should be in the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.
Don't underestimate this one percent. Due to the effect of the 'Five Elements Gas Gathering Array', he does not need to compress his spiritual power, which makes his one percent a pure one percent.
Theoretically, when he accumulated his spiritual power to 100%, he would have reached the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.
As for the time it takes for him to reach the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, based on his current cultivation speed, he will be able to reach the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years and try to break through.
The reason why it is impossible to make an accurate estimate is that he took multiple fourth-grade top-level elixirs during his first practice.
The cultivation effect of a fourth-grade top-level elixir is several times stronger than that of a fourth-grade high-level elixir.
Li Shiming stood up and moved his body. His body made a crackling sound, which was the sound of muscles contracting because his body was too strong.
Although he did not move his body for two hundred days, he practiced the 'Taiqing Xuangui Jue', which is a technique that imitates the Taiqing Xuangui.
The Taiqing Black Turtle hardly moves, but only inhales and exhales spiritual energy to strengthen itself. Only then can he practice it together with other skills. Otherwise, if the coordination of body movements is required, it will not be possible to practice at the same time.
"It seems that I still need to consider the resources for body refining!" The effect of practicing 'Taiqing Xuangui Jue' for two hundred days was not good, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Compared with the cultivation speed of 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Art' and 'Jade Purity Thunder Classic', the cultivation speed of 'Taiqing Black Turtle Art' is still far behind.
It only takes a hundred years to reach the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage. This speed of cultivation is based on an adequate supply of a large number of fourth-grade elixirs.
It’s not that he doesn’t have the resources for body refining, but the level of those resources is too high, so high that he dare not use them.
He has a drop of blood of a powerful body refiner. He has already sensed it. In his current state, if he really wants to refine the blood of a powerful body refiner, he will probably explode immediately.
Not only the blood of the great body-refining master, but also the ghost bracelet and Asura puppet, even if he has been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, he cannot control them.
Just like the ghost bracelet, he could already practice it, but the ghost was a fourth-grade mid-stage ghost, which was still a little weak for his current realm.
As for the Asura Puppet, it also requires the middle stage of the Nascent Soul to be able to be refined and used.
This made him have much less expectations for the Cave Heaven. He was worried that it would be difficult to fully master the Cave Heaven even in the early stage of the Nascent Soul.
Li Shiming was feeling the situation of the five Nascent Souls. Although the spiritual power in their bodies was still very little, it was enough for them to fight.
Until now, he is considered a true Nascent Soul early stage cultivator, and can possess the combat power that a Nascent Soul early stage cultivator should have.
He took out the fourth-grade formation materials, which were the reward for refining the elixir. Currently, he had enough fourth-grade formation materials to refine twelve fourth-grade formation flags.
He was very knowledgeable about formation flags, as he had refined many third-grade formation flags.
The formation flag is also the spiritual object with the lowest creativity. There are strict rules for making the formation flag, and even the slightest change will affect the effect of the formation flag.
The formation flag was finalized during countless years of formation research and development, and is compatible with all formations.
Of course, the formation flag is not unchangeable. Li Shiming can completely redesign the formation flag according to a certain formation, or even change the formation flag into the form of some kind of object, but this kind of formation flag has no compatibility at all and can only be used for the arrangement of this formation.
Just like the arrangement of a sect's large formation, there are a large number of special formation tools.
However, the universal formation flags normally used by formation masters need to be compatible with all formations.
Therefore, when Li Shiming was refining the fourth-grade formation flag, he did not put it into the machine room for refining.
The Fire Thunder Yuanying flew out of the body, and the infant fire it spit out changed the shape of the fourth-grade formation material, and engraved formation runes on its surface.
It only took three days to refine the twelve fourth-grade formation flags. The most troublesome part was remembering the formation runes, but it was the simplest and easiest thing for him.
He used multiple brains and controlled his spiritual consciousness. With the help of his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15, he easily engraved the image without any error. This kind of complex task would become simple with the participation of IBMz15.
He placed twelve fourth-grade formation flags in his cave. After sensing the activation of the formation, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt safe.
It’s not that the previous cave was unsafe, it’s just that he had too many secrets, and the initial formation was arranged uniformly by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, so he was naturally a little worried.
Not until the twelve fourth-grade formation flags strengthened the cave's formation did he release his clones Li Yuanba and Venerable Hui Jing from the machine room.
Feeling the situation of Venerable Hui Jing, Li Shiming truly understood the gap between Nascent Soul cultivators.
Although he had just been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage not long ago, less than a year, he was still considered to have just been promoted. It usually takes several years to build up a certain level of combat power.
But his fighting power at this time completely surpassed that of Venerable Hui Jing.
Venerable Hui Jing's original skills were too poor. Although he rebuilt the 'Liu Yan Eclipse Sun Skill', he did not think that the 'Liu Yan Eclipse Sun Skill' was a particularly powerful skill. At least in terms of fire power, it was not as good as his 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Art', not to mention the 'Nanming Lihuo' magical power.
This cannot be blamed on Venerable Hui Jing. Venerable Hui Jing's realm at this time is almost at the middle stage of the early Nascent Soul stage. The Nascent Soul stage is of fire attribute. Since he has practiced the 'Liuyan Eclipse Sun Technique', his realm can be considered normal among the cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage.
This is compared with the mid-level cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage in the Dongqi Continent. It can be seen that the "Liuyan Eclipse Sun Power" has improved the strength of Venerable Hui Jing.
But Li Shiming's realm at this time can be regarded as the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, but the total amount of spiritual power is very small.
This is only one aspect of Li Shiming's strength. In terms of sword intent, his Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent has enough power to shock an early Nascent Soul cultivator.
In terms of body refining, he also possesses the strength of the Nascent Soul stage, and his strength is at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.
Not to mention that if a real battle breaks out, when five Nascent Souls come out together, it is equivalent to five times the combat power. This is not a force that Venerable Hui Jing can resist.
Li Shiming looked at Venerable Hui Jing and shook his head helplessly.
When he signed the reverse unequal servant contract with Venerable Hui Jing, he still believed that Venerable Hui Jing would become a powerful helper to him in the Nascent Soul stage.
But now it seems that Venerable Hui Jing's fighting power is of very little help to him.
"Forget it, it's just a division of some resources!" Li Shiming muttered to himself.
In order for Venerable Hui Jing to grow, he needs to consume fourth-grade elixirs. However, in the Dongqi Continent, fourth-grade elixirs are not in short supply and are enough for Venerable Hui Jing to use.
Although Venerable Hui Jing's combat power is not satisfactory, he is still a Nascent Soul cultivator after all, so he will always be of some use.
As for the clone Li Yuanba, he is now completely behind, but Li Yuanba has great potential. As he is a disciple of Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion, his future is no worse than that of the original Li Shiming.
He left his clone Li Yuanba and Venerable Hui Jing in the cave, and he himself flew out of the mountain, turning into a flash of lightning and flew out of the sect.
The consumption of Thunder Escape is not great, and its speed is twice that of the Golden Core Stage.
This is not the fastest. The fastest is when the Nascent Soul leaves the body and the Nascent Soul carries the body to fly.
However, if the Nascent Soul leaves the body but does not use the Nascent Soul Dharma Image, the Nascent Soul's defense will be the weakest, even inferior to the body of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Fortunately, the speed of the Nascent Soul is fast enough, and it is difficult to be attacked after it leaves the body, but the danger still exists. Therefore, unless the Nascent Soul cultivator is trying to escape or display the Nascent Soul Dharma Image, he will not let his Nascent Soul leave the body in front of other Nascent Soul cultivators.
These are all things that Li Shiming needs to pay attention to. When he is performing Thunder Escape, he is familiarizing himself with the strength of the Nascent Soul Stage.
Now, performing any secret technique is a brand new experience, and all of it will be recorded in the natal magic weapon IBMz15 for data collection and research.
"Master Li has come out of seclusion!" Master Jiang Hong said with a little surprise.
He has been keeping an eye on Li Shiming. Normally, cultivators who have just been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage will go into seclusion for more than three years, but Li Shiming has only been in seclusion for how long? Less than a year.
Not only Master Jiang Hong was paying attention to Li Shiming, Chen Zhou also noticed that Li Shiming had come out of seclusion.
