In the computer room, Nanming held the 'Nanming Lihuo' in his hand, and the extremely hard fourth-grade Leiyao Xuan iron softened in just over ten breaths.
This is why Li Shiming used the "Nanming Lihuo" to refine the weapon. If he used his own infant fire, not to mention the consumption of the Nascent Soul, the time required for the infant fire to soften the fourth-grade Leiyao Xuan Iron would take at least ten hours.
The magical flame is the most advanced among all flames, especially after the Nascent Soul stage, the 'Nanming Lihuo' can truly exert its power.
Just after the fourth-grade Thunder Shining Black Iron softened, a series of divine consciousness appeared and transformed into heavy hammers that hit the softened fourth-grade Thunder Shining Black Iron.
These spiritual consciousnesses were generated by Li Shiming's control of ten brains. In the computer room, he was like a dominant being. With a control power of 5 nanometers, the fourth-grade Lei Yao Xuan iron was forged into the shape of a Heavenly Thunder Hammer.
It took less than an hour from the beginning of refining to now.
After that came the work that would consume a lot of time. Li Shiming controlled a hundred brains to transform into a hundred independent consciousnesses and began to engrave patterns on the rough blank of the Sky-Strike Thunder Hammer.
The fourth-grade Thunder Shining Black Iron is extremely strong, and this is not a magic weapon for close-range attacks, so he did not attach the magic solidity rune, but chose the magic weapon rune of 'Jade Purity Thunder Classic' that matches the Sky Strike Thunder Hammer.
IBMz15 has analyzed and studied the Sky-Strike Thunder Hammer that he had obtained before, and has the 'Jade Purity Thunder Code' as a reference, as well as Li Shiming's own realizations of the Nascent Soul stage from practicing the 'Jade Purity Thunder Code'. All of these are reflected on this rune.
The tiny rune contains Li Shiming's understanding of the 'Jade Purity Thunder Code', combined with his own research results on his life treasure IBMz15, the Sky-Strike Thunder Hammer. The combination of the two makes the rune appear even more perfect.
IBMz15 has a plan for engraving runes on the Sky-Strike Thunder Hammer.
On the small surface space of the rough blank of the Sky-Strike Thunder Hammer, 3.6 million small formations will be arranged. Each small formation is composed of twelve runes. These 3.6 million small formations constitute a thunder attack formation.
This is the maximum bearing capacity of the fourth-grade Thunder Yao Xuan Iron, and it is not the limit of the runes engraved by Li Shiming.
With a precision of 5 nanometers, not to mention 3.6 million small formations, even if it were increased a hundred times it would not be a problem, but small formations also require materials to support them.
That is to say, the fourth-grade Thunder Shining Black Iron is a fourth-grade upper-level refining material. Its own quality is extremely high, so it can support the engraving of 3.6 million small formations.
The process of engraving a small formation is the most troublesome. The engraving with 5 nanometer precision can only be completed accurately under the control of the natal magic weapon IBMz15 with 'Divine Eyes' and divine consciousness.
It took a full three months to refine the weapon. What he told Master Hu was that he was in seclusion to refine a fourth-grade elixir of the late Nascent Soul stage. Master Hu had given him two sets of materials for a fourth-grade elixir of the late Nascent Soul stage before.
It takes forty days to refine a batch of fourth-grade elixirs for the late Nascent Soul stage. The time between two batches is for recovering energy, analyzing and studying the problems encountered in the first batch, and summarizing the experience, so he told others that he needed to go into seclusion for three months.
In fact, it was not difficult for him to refine the fourth-grade elixir of the late Nascent Soul stage. He even only refined one furnace of the fourth-grade elixir of the late Nascent Soul stage. Under his precise control, he refined six fourth-grade intermediate elixirs of the late Nascent Soul stage, maintaining his consistent alchemy ability.
Of course, it was impossible for him to take out all six Nascent Soul stage fourth-grade intermediate elixirs. He was only going to take out three fourth-grade elixirs to give an explanation to Master Hu. He really didn't want to be too conspicuous.
Three months is exactly the time given by IBMz15 to refine the Sky-Strike Thunder Hammer.
Li Shiming held the refined Sky-Strike Thunder Hammer in his hand. The hammer was only a little bit away from being activated. He stopped the last step somewhat worriedly.
His method of refining equipment has never been seen before in the world of immortal cultivation.
When refining the third-grade flying sword, he only used 360,000 six-line formations to make the refined "Flowing Light and Falling Stars" become a magical weapon.
The Sky-Strike Thunder Hammer in his hand was engraved with 3.6 million more complex formations. He had a feeling that once he completed the final refining of the weapon and activated the magic weapon, a heavenly calamity would fall.
He must not complete this last step in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and demonstrate a certain ability in alchemy to obtain the resources he wants.
However, if he displays his powerful weapon-refining abilities again, it will bring him great trouble.
Besides, he wanted to turn the Sky-Strike Thunder Hammer in his hand into his own trump card, a trump card that other cultivators must not know.
In three months, in addition to completing the refining of equipment and pills, he also did not fall behind in his cultivation. The spiritual power in his Nascent Soul increased a little. Although not much, it was several times stronger than the effect of three months of cultivation of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.
After all, there are not many Nascent Soul cultivators who can take the fourth-grade advanced elixir of the Nascent Soul at full capacity for cultivation.
After coming out of retreat, he first sent a message to his master, Master Hu, and soon received a reply from Master Hu.
Master Hu is now guarding the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts. He has sent out a clone who will come over soon.
Li Shiming opened the formation on the mountain, and the clone of Master Hu just passed through the formation and entered the mountain.
"Greetings, Master!" Li Shiming bowed and saluted to the clone of Master Hu.
He was somewhat surprised and doubtful, because from his perception, he could not tell the difference between this clone and the original body of Master Hu.
This clone has the aura of a great monk and is also wearing a robe. His face and temperament are exactly the same as the original monk Hu.
"Shizhen, thank you for your hard work! This is the classic book prepared for you. You must arrange your time for alchemy and cultivation!" Monk Hu smiled and took out a storage bag and handed it to Li Shiming.
He did not put pressure on Li Shiming. He asked about the result of alchemy first. If Li Shiming was willing to talk, he would tell him. If he didn't want to talk, it was understandable.
"Thank you, Master!" Li Shiming took the storage bag. In the bag were more than ten jade slips, all of which were relevant books that Master Hu had found based on the techniques he was practicing.
These classics are not those in public libraries. These jade slips contain some of Master Hu’s own insights, as well as classics that Master Hu found through his connections.
The value of the classics is inestimable, but the most precious thing is the guidance of Master Hu, which can help Li Shiming avoid many detours.
Li Shiming's gratitude was sincere; his cultivation simply lacked guidance.
"Master, I disappoint you!" Li Shiming said with some shame.
"It's okay. This is your first time refining a fourth-grade elixir for the late Nascent Soul stage, so it's normal to fail. Summarize your experience and I'll find a way to prepare the elixir materials for you!" Upon hearing this, Master Hu couldn't help but persuade Li Shiming.
He also felt sorry for the loss of two materials for the fourth-grade elixir of the late Nascent Soul stage, but he didn't want to undermine Li Shiming's confidence because of this.
With the talent for alchemy that Li Shiming has shown, as long as he invests enough, he can definitely refine a fourth-grade elixir of the late Nascent Soul stage that surpasses other alchemy masters.
"These are three elixirs. I failed in the first batch, but luckily the second one succeeded!" Li Shiming took out a jade bottle and handed it over.
"You succeeded?" Monk Hu was stunned, then he said happily.
He thought that both batches of elixirs had failed, but he didn't expect that only one batch had failed. At least he didn't lose too much.
He took the jade bottle and entered his spiritual consciousness into it, and he immediately found something wrong.
The three fourth-grade elixirs meant that Li Shiming had refined a full batch of elixirs in the second furnace, and the quality of the three fourth-grade elixirs reached the intermediate level, which surprised him greatly.
It had been a long time since he had seen a fourth-grade intermediate elixir for the late Nascent Soul stage. The three alchemy masters in the sect could not even guarantee the success rate, let alone a full-grade elixir.
As for the intermediate quality fourth-grade elixir for the late Nascent Soul stage, it cannot be refined by luck alone. It takes forty days to refine the elixir, and one must have real ability to ensure the quality of the fourth-grade elixir.
"Good, very good!" Master Hu murmured with his eyes shining.
It was a rare moment for him to lose composure like this, which showed how excited he was.
When one reaches the level of a great monk, it becomes extremely difficult to improve one's strength a little bit.
The resources of great monks are only produced in a few caves. The possibility of obtaining the resources of great monks from the outside world is extremely low.
If Li Shiming could maintain this level of alchemy skills, Master Hu felt that he would have a chance to become a powerful person.
"Shizhen, I can't break the rules of the alchemy master. I will accept these three elixirs. One of them will be considered as my purchase. The other one will also be given to you as a reward for alchemy. This is my clone, and I will send the reward to you in two days!" Monk Hu calmed down and said with a smile.
"Master, this is my filial piety to you. You gave me two sets of materials without any reward!" Li Shiming immediately shook his head and said.
"Silly child, remember, as long as you have the opportunity, you must fight for resources. As your master, I will not give you resources for no reason. Everything depends on your own ability. That's it!" Monk Hu smiled and shook his head.
"Yes, Master!" Li Shiming no longer refused and bowed in response.
"By the way, you should prepare to roast 60 servings of fourth-grade spiritual tea. I will take them away in two days. I will also help you get some more good stuff from Old Ghost Ding and Old Ghost Chai!" Great Monk Hu continued.
"I have it here, please wait a moment!" Li Shiming still had some of the fourth-grade spiritual tea he had fried. Upon hearing what his master said, he immediately took out sixty portions of the fourth-grade spiritual tea from his mustard seed ring and put them in a jade box and gave them to Monk Hu.
Sixty portions of fourth-grade spiritual tea are just sixty pieces of spiritual tea leaves. It seems that Master Hu is really planning for him and is prepared to take the approach of making things rare and valuable.
"Don't tell anyone about your refining of the fourth-grade elixir for the late Nascent Soul stage. I will tell several great monks in the sect, and they won't be stingy with you!" Great Monk Hu gave Li Shiming some instructions before leaving.
The clone of Master Hu flew out of the mountain, appearing to be in a hurry. It seemed that he attached great importance to the three fourth-grade elixirs of the late Nascent Soul stage and wanted to send them to his original body as soon as possible.
Two days later, the clone of Master Hu came again and brought a batch of spiritual objects.
Because Li Shiming himself is a master of alchemy, the fourth-grade elixir of the early Nascent Soul stage is not difficult for him to obtain, so Master Hu did not give him the elixir, but some other spiritual objects.
These spiritual objects include five drops of 'Ten Thousand Years Stalactite', one fourth-grade Twelve Golden Lotus, and twelve pieces of fourth-grade formation materials.
The spiritual object "Ten Thousand Years Stalactite" is extremely useful. It is one of the top resources in the world of immortal cultivation and plays an irreplaceable role for Nascent Soul cultivators.
A drop of "Ten Thousand Years Stalactite" can restore all the spiritual power of a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, and can also heal mental damage and replenish the cultivator's energy and spirit.
In the battle, if a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage had a drop of 'Ten Thousand Years Stalactite' in his hand, he would have a longer combat endurance than other cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage.
The 'Ten Thousand Years Stalactite' is not only useful for cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage, but also for cultivators in the middle and late stages of the Nascent Soul stage, but the effect is somewhat discounted.
But no matter what, using the 'Ten Thousand Years Stalactite' to instantly restore spiritual power is a life-saving method for Nascent Soul cultivators of all realms.
The fourth-grade twelve-leaf golden lotus is a spiritual object. Li Shiming himself has a third-grade golden lotus of a lower grade.
If the third-grade golden lotus wants to be upgraded to the fourth-grade golden lotus, even if some fourth-grade materials are used, it will take an extremely long time to grow. For him, it is not cost-effective to upgrade the quality of the third-grade golden lotus.
Therefore, he gave up using the Third-Rank Golden Lotus. Considering the concentration of spiritual energy in his cave, the effect that the Third-Rank Golden Lotus could produce was almost negligible.
This fourth-grade twelve-leaf golden lotus is the highest grade among the four-grade golden lotuses.
The compensation given by Master Hu was absolutely calculated based on the market price, and he did not take advantage of Li Shiming.
Moreover, these spiritual objects were prepared according to Li Shiming's situation. The 'Ten Thousand Years Stalactite' was another means for Li Shiming to save his life, and the Fourth Grade Twelve-Leaf Golden Lotus was used to improve the quality of the spiritual energy in Li Shiming's cave, making it easier for Li Shiming to absorb the spiritual energy.
Twelve portions of fourth-grade formation materials are equivalent to the exchange value of Li Shiming's sixty portions of fourth-grade spiritual tea. This is absolutely a great value.
The fourth-grade spiritual tea is a consumable for long-term consumption. Monk Hu has raised the value of the fourth-grade spiritual tea roasted by Li Shiming to an extremely high level.
After this transaction, any cultivator who wants to exchange for fourth-grade spiritual tea in the future will need to follow this standard, which reduces a lot of trouble for Li Shiming.
Seeing that even the great monk had to pay such a price to exchange for the fourth-grade spiritual tea, the rest of the monks would naturally have no objection to exchanging for the fourth-grade spiritual tea.
Li Shiming planted the fourth-grade twelve-leaf golden lotus into the fourth-grade spiritual spring. The fourth-grade twelve-leaf golden lotus swayed in the fourth-grade spiritual spring, absorbing the spiritual energy and then exhaling it again.
The newly exhaled spiritual energy is not only more refined, but also carries a strange spirituality.
Li Shiming maintained his cultivation state. He allowed his four Nascent Souls to absorb the external spiritual energy, and absorbed the spiritual energy transformed by the fourth-grade twelve-leaf golden lotus into his body.
He suddenly discovered that the spiritual energy transformed by the fourth-grade twelve-leaf golden lotus could increase his absorption rate of spiritual energy by 5%.
Don't underestimate this 5%. When he is really in seclusion to practice, one retreat can last for years or even several years. A 5% improvement will be a considerable improvement.
