Li Shiming's spiritual sense swept across the Tianxing Trading Company's long-distance flying boat, and the terrifying spiritual sense instantly destroyed the souls of all the cultivators in the flying boat.
He truly witnessed the gap between Nascent Soul cultivators and Golden Core cultivators. Half of the thousands of cultivators on the flying boat were Golden Core cultivators, but they could not even resist his spiritual sense for a moment.
He discovered a large number of third and fourth grade resources from the Northern Shu Continent in his long-distance flying boat, and the amount was so huge that even he was surprised.
This was definitely not obtained through any normal means. It was almost possible to obtain so many third-grade resources by emptying the treasure houses of multiple forces.
Judging from the resources produced in the Northern Shu continent, the amount of third and fourth grade resources here would require hundreds of years of accumulation by many medium-sized forces.
This is also the reason why he had no psychological burden in killing so many monks from Tianxing Trading Company. These monks were all bandits who participated in the looting. As a monk from Beishu Continent, he could not take action against them in Beishu Continent. He would naturally kill them when he saw them.
Li Shiming's spiritual consciousness forcibly entered the core of the long-distance flying boat and recognized the long-distance flying boat as its master.
Soon, this fourth-grade long-distance flying boat was imprinted with his spiritual imprint and became his private property.
At the same time, he sensed the previous navigation records inside the long-distance flying boat, which revealed the route of Tianxing Trading Company from Beishu Continent to Dongqi Continent, which was a different route from Tianwen Sect.
Li Shiming put away the fourth-grade long-distance flying boat, so that when he needed to sail, he would have two long-distance flying boats available.
He put away the Heavenly Net Restriction Array Plate again. This Heavenly Net Restriction Array Plate was very useful. It had allowed him to ambush the enemies many times, leaving them no way to escape.
His spiritual consciousness entered Jin Kai's mustard seed ring. This was the mustard seed ring of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He was very interested in the spiritual objects here.
There are indeed a lot of spiritual objects in the mustard seed ring. There are fifteen fourth-grade primary demon pills alone, two bottles of fourth-grade mid-stage spiritual pills, and three fourth-grade mid-stage spiritual medicines.
In addition, there are several fourth-grade refining materials and several fourth-grade magic weapons of decent quality.
If these spiritual objects were seen by other early Nascent Soul cultivators, they would treat them as treasures, but Li Shiming felt nothing when he saw them.
If he wants such a spiritual object, he can have it at any time.
Take the fourth-grade demon pill for example. When he goes back to refine the pill, for the pill refining business he has taken over now, he only needs to hand over the fourth-grade elixir made from one of the four fourth-grade demon pills, and the other three fourth-grade demon pills will be his.
For those fourth-grade elixirs that he handed over, he needed to intentionally suppress the refining quality, and the rest he had to refine for himself, using up all his alchemy skills.
It is estimated that these are some of the fourth-grade demon pills in the hands of the sect's cultivators. As the tide of spirit beasts continues, many more fourth-grade demon pills will be sent to him.
Therefore, he has no shortage of cultivation resources. At least, he doesn't need to worry too much about the cultivation resources for the early and middle stages of the Nascent Soul.
As for the fourth-grade refining materials, he was too lazy to even bother with them unless they were of upper-fourth-grade quality.
All he needed now was the material for a fourth-grade upper-level flying sword. His five 'Flowing Stars' were already outdated and needed to be replaced.
Li Shiming's spiritual consciousness kept searching around in the mustard seed ring. The spiritual objects inside were a bit messy, and he didn't recognize many of the miscellaneous items.
The quality of many of the skills is average, but they can be used as a reference.
He saw another jade slip, which turned out to be the route record of Tianxing Trading Company.
This surprised him greatly, but it was not surprising when he thought about it. As a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator of Tianxing Trading Company, wasn't it normal for Jin Kai to have a backup of the route records on him?
This is a relatively comprehensive map that records the shipping routes of the Northern Shu Continent, Eastern Qi Continent, Western Yan Continent, Southern Zhao Continent, Zhongzhou Continent, and the large islands between the continents.
A smile finally appeared on Li Shiming's face. This route alone was worth the risk to deal with Jin Kai.
You have to know that he took a huge risk when he ambushed Jin Kai. He was an early Nascent Soul cultivator and ambushed a middle Nascent Soul cultivator. Although Jin Kai, who was in the middle Nascent Soul stage, was seriously injured, who could prevent the accident?
With this map and route, he could sail to these continents.
Especially in the Zhongzhou Continent, the Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion is located on an island close to the Zhongzhou Continent.
Originally, Li Shiming planned to wait until he stabilized his realm in the Wanshou Sect, and then go there when the Wanshou Sect’s own long-distance flying boat was heading to Zhongzhou.
However, he had not heard about the Wanshou Sect's long-distance voyage plan within the sect.
The time of a Nascent Soul cultivator is measured in years, and several decades are just a matter of a snap of the fingers, so the affairs of a Nascent Soul cultivator usually take a long time to complete.
"This is a puppet!" Li Shiming's spiritual sense discovered a fourth-grade metal puppet that was completely black.
This was none other than the fourth-grade black armor puppet that had performed great service for Jin Kai in Zhai Ge's cave. The reason why the fourth-grade black armor puppet was not summoned to participate in the battle was because the fourth-grade black armor puppet's defense had suffered considerable damage in the last battle.
Jin Kai had used up all the spare parts for replacing the fourth-grade Black Armor Puppet. If he wanted to repair the fourth-grade Black Armor Puppet, he would need to return to the Dongqi Continent to find all the materials.
Li Shiming has inherited the art of puppetry, but because he has limited materials for a fourth-grade puppet, it takes a long time to collect them.
Now that he had obtained a complete fourth-grade black armor puppet, what he needed to do became much simpler. He only needed to modify it according to the fourth-grade black armor puppet, which saved a lot of time and energy.
Don’t underestimate the production of a fourth-grade puppet. Each component of a fourth-grade puppet requires a long time to create, and each component must be engraved with different runes to achieve different effects.
The entire fourth-grade puppet is a whole, and the runes engraved on it cannot have any deviation, otherwise the components will need to be remade.
Even a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul like Jin Kai only possesses a fourth-grade Black Armor Puppet.
The fourth-grade materials used by the fourth-grade Black Armor Puppet alone can be used to refine many magic weapons.
Of course, the fourth-grade magic weapon is different from the fourth-grade black armor puppet. The fourth-grade black armor puppet has autonomous combat capabilities and can complete combat tasks according to the orders of the master.
When cooperating with the master, it is equivalent to the master having another fourth-grade combat power.
However, a fourth-grade magic weapon consumes the owner's spiritual power and spirit, and is only a component of the owner's combat power.
"Let's go back to the sect and stop hanging around outside!" Li Shiming suddenly became interested and said with a big laugh.
He had been practicing for several years, and this time he came out just to relax and see the tide of spirit beasts in Dongqi Continent.
Now that he had a fourth-grade black armor puppet, he was anxious to go back and study it.
Without any pause, he activated the color-changing cloak and continuously cast "So Close Yet So Far Away" towards the Dongqi Continent.
This time he did not greet Lu Heng who was fighting, but went straight through the spirit beast tide defense line.
He also realized that the danger of the spirit beast tide defense line was not great. The sect had dispatched so many Nascent Soul cultivators, especially quite a few mid-Nascent Soul cultivators. As long as they were careful and did not get killed instantly by the fourth-grade spirit beasts, they would be rescued by the sect.
After all, this wave of spiritual beasts seems to be coming to deliver resources.
When he returned to land and approached the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect within a thousand miles, he stopped using his divine power 'A World Away' and used Lightning Escape to return to the sect.
He arranged for Li Si to receive him, and he himself entered the cave.
As for alchemy, one of his brains, together with the golden corpse Nanming, used the Red Yang Spirit Fire and the Nanming Li Fire respectively to control two fourth-grade alchemy furnaces in the machine room to start refining the alchemy.
The Golden Corpse Nanming naturally needed his control, but he just borrowed the Golden Corpse Nanming's "Nanming Lihuo".
He disassembled the fourth-grade black armor puppet. He disassembled the fourth-grade black armor puppet into components, and then disassembled the components into parts.
During this process, his familiarity with puppetry techniques continued to increase.
Many unclear points were answered after having physical references.
He discovered that puppetry and mechanical technology was actually the most suitable method of cultivating immortals that could be integrated with the technology of the previous life. During the research process, his inspiration continued to burst out.
For example, the weapons of puppets in puppetry are divided into defensive weapons and offensive weapons.
The defensive weapon is like a hand-held large shield, which is made of fourth-grade materials. The runes on the shield are connected to the energy source in the body of the fourth-grade black armor puppet through the palm of the fourth-grade black armor puppet.
The energy source in the body of the fourth-grade black armor puppet can continuously provide energy for the fourth-grade large shield held in hand, allowing the runes on the surface to exert a strong defensive effect.
This large shield is one of the spare parts of the fourth-grade Black Armor Puppet, and there is one in the Golden Mustard Seed Ring.
The attack weapon of the fourth-grade black armor puppet is a hand-held greatsword, which is also made of fourth-grade materials and engraved with runes. The function of the runes, in addition to reinforcement and sharpness, is to communicate the fourth-grade greatsword with the energy source inside the fourth-grade black armor puppet.
The fourth-grade large shield and large sword are both equivalent to the magic weapons of the fourth-grade black armor puppet, but these magic weapons are exclusively for the fourth-grade black armor puppet. Human cultivators can only exert the effect of fourth-grade materials at most when holding them in their hands, and it is impossible to activate the runes.
Li Shiming redefined the weapon of the fourth-grade black armor puppet. With the energy source of the fourth-grade black armor puppet, he planned to use fourth-grade materials to make an electromagnetic cannon for the fourth-grade black armor puppet.
He is no longer at the same level of refining as before. Now his level of refining is definitely among the top refining masters in Dongqi Continent.
His advantages are unmatched by other weapon-refining masters. What he lacks is that he has been exposed to too little weapon-refining inheritance.
There are too many core technologies in refining equipment. It is very difficult for a cultivator to learn all of them. On the one hand, the cultivator's energy is limited. In this regard, Li Shiming does not have to worry about energy issues because he has his own magic weapon, IBMz15.
On the other hand, the confidentiality of the weapon refining inheritance prevents cultivators from accessing too much weapon refining knowledge.
In the art of refining equipment, there are many special professional classifications, such as alchemy furnaces, flying boats, etc.
For example, the refining of magical tools like the Danlu furnace, the core technology is strictly guarded by all forces and is not circulated to the outside. The flying boat requires a large number of refiners to work together to complete it.
The flying boat is usually made by a team, who divide the work and cooperate to complete the manufacturing of the flying boat.
Li Shiming specializes in micro runes. Runes with a precision of 5 nanometers can maximize the performance of materials. This is his most unique refining ability.
He and IBMz15 redesigned an electromagnetic cannon based on the situation of the fourth-grade black armor puppet, combining puppet mechanism technology, refining equipment and previous life technology.
This electromagnetic cannon no longer needs to consider energy issues. The energy source of the fourth-grade Black Armor Puppet has the same spiritual power output as that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. The core material of this energy source is the most difficult to obtain, but it is now available.
The electromagnetic gun is made entirely of fourth-grade alloy, and is densely engraved with 360,000 formations. Each formation is composed of solid runes, runes of flexible size, spirit storage runes, and lightning runes.
Under normal circumstances, this electromagnetic cannon is only two meters in size, but when needed, it can instantly transform into a twenty-meter-long electromagnetic cannon.
The lightning runes engraved on the electromagnetic cannon were drawn by him based on his own "Yuqing Thunder Code" and possessed a power far exceeding that of ordinary lightning runes.
After connecting to the energy source of the fourth-grade Black Armor Puppet, once activated, it can obtain ultra-high voltage electricity that is countless times stronger than normal electricity, which is impossible to generate by the machinery of previous life technology.
You should know that the lightning generated by the lightning rune is, in theory, fourth-grade lightning of power. He used the 3.6 million formations of the Sky-Strike Thunder Hammer to beat Jin Kai, a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator, into a state of losing his temper.
Although the electromagnetic gun only has thirty-six formations, the lightning power it provides is absolutely super strong.
The magnetic field generated by the extremely strong force of lightning is far greater than the magnetic field generated by military electromagnetic guns in previous lives.
As for the bullet of the electromagnetic cannon, it is better to say that it is an extremely solid fourth-grade cone-shaped magic weapon.
He also engraved hundreds of thousands of formations on this fourth-grade cone-shaped magic weapon, which included solidity runes, speed runes, air-breaking runes, and automatic return runes.
In particular, the automatic return rune is used on arrows of long-range bow and arrow magic weapons. The arrows will automatically return after being shot, eliminating the difficulty of recovery. It can also automatically replenish arrows during battle.
However, after the number of automatic return runes accumulated to hundreds of thousands, it strangely produced the effect of automatically returning to the designated location one breath after being issued.
Li Shiming only needs to make a fourth-grade cone-shaped magic weapon, and he can reuse it over and over again.
Fortunately, both the electromagnetic cannon and the fourth-grade cone-shaped magic weapon were magic weapons made for the fourth-grade black armor puppet. They were different from the real magic weapons and did not trigger the device disaster, so he did not need to go out again.
The entire process of developing the fourth-grade electromagnetic cannon from its principle to its design and finally becoming a real object took a full three months, during which time he was also constantly learning and researching.
That is to say, his remuneration included a lot of fourth-grade materials, which gave him the confidence to carry out such extravagant research.
Three months later, a fourth-grade electromagnetic cannon, a long-range weapon, appeared in the space on the fourth-grade black armor puppet's body, which made up for the fourth-grade black armor puppet's weakness in long-range attacks.
Of course, this weapon still needs to be tested in a real battle to verify its effectiveness.
But after Li Shiming's test, its power was enough to break the defense of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
