Li Shiming rented a cave on Duiyi Island, which is the highest level island open to the public for renting caves. There are fifty caves on this island, and the distance between each cave is not far.
This kind of cave dwelling was unimaginable in the world of immortal cultivation before him. You have to know that let alone great cultivators, even ordinary Nascent Soul or even Golden Core cultivators can have an independent mountain as their cave dwelling.
It can be seen that at least the land of the Yuzhu Islands is extremely precious.
Duiyi Island is specially designed to serve great monks, and its fifty caves are all standard caves for great monks.
Although the caves are relatively close to each other, they are separated by a large formation, so there is no need to worry about the great monks interfering with and influencing each other.
Unless a great cultivator dares to break the formation, and even if he does, it will take a long time. The noise will be enough to alert the guardians of the Yuzhu Islands and other great cultivators.
The cave is rented with spirit stones, but since he was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, spirit stones have no effect on Li Shiming.
But he had a huge amount of spirit stones in his hands. Every time he killed a monk, there would be a large amount of spirit stones in the spoils, which he would collect in one place.
The resources that can be purchased with spirit stones are useless to him at this level. The resources of a great monk cannot be purchased with spirit stones.
Li Shiming sat in the hall of the cave. He took out the formation flags and reinforced the formation of the cave itself.
He then took out the blank talismans he had just purchased. Among the blank talismans, there were thirty blank talismans for ordinary great monks, five blank talismans for peak great monks, and a variety of fourth-grade talisman inks.
All these blank talismans were obtained by him in exchange for a high-level elixir from a great monk.
When he left the shop, he had a smile on his face, and the monk who received him in the shop also had a satisfied smile on his face.
For Li Shiming, it was definitely worth it to exchange a slightly lower quality elixir from a great cultivator that he himself was unwilling to take for so many blank talismans.
As for the receiving monk, the value of a high-level elixir of a great monk was so great that he was willing to trade even if Li Shiming wanted twice as many blank talismans.
Yundaohai is not the world of immortal cultivation where Li Shiming was before. There are no alchemy masters with his level of alchemy here, and high-level elixirs for great cultivators are not so abundant that almost all great cultivators can obtain them.
The rarer it is, the more precious it is. In fact, Li Shiming underestimated the value of a high-level elixir of a great monk.
However, Li Shiming, who was sitting in the cave hall, didn't care about that little bit of profit. He was checking the blank talisman at this moment.
"The resources here are so enviable!" He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
These blank talismans may be ordinary things in the eyes of the cultivators in Yundao Sea. They are used to the existence of such talismans of great cultivators.
But if this were placed in the previous world of immortal cultivation, the talismans drawn by ordinary great cultivators with blank talismans would become the life-saving talismans of Nascent Soul cultivators.
The talisman drawn by the blank talisman of the peak great monk is the life-saving talisman of the ordinary great monk.
In the previous world of immortal cultivation, these life-saving talismans were not available to ordinary cultivators. Only cultivators with very important status in each sect were qualified to possess them.
Li Shiming bought these blank talismans in order to give his friends some life-saving means.
He put a blank talisman of a great monk into the computer room, and then put the selected talisman ink into the computer room.
He used his spiritual consciousness to transform into a talisman pen, which was filled with talisman ink.
His mind sensed the 'Instantaneous Reach' rune of the Divine Foot Power, and then after thinking about it, he also focused on the 'Divine Eyes' rune.
His life treasure IBMz15 began to design how to draw the talisman. All the data of the blank talisman was scanned and virtualized by IBMz15. After a short period of calculation, he had a clear understanding of how to draw the "Instant" rune onto the blank talisman.
Although he had never practiced it before, the IBM z15 had the relevant knowledge. Coupled with his control over the computer room space with a precision of 0.05 nanometers, no other cultivator in the world could match his accuracy in drawing talismans.
Whether it is the strokes used to draw the talismans, the fusion of spiritual power and talisman ink, or the rhythm of the drawing process, everything can be done to perfection.
IBMz15 even allows the 'instantaneous movement' of the Divine Foot Power and the 'Divine Eyes Power' to be simultaneously drawn on a talisman, so that a talisman can achieve instant movement of 8,000 miles.
Unfortunately, after calculation by IBMz15, the blank talisman of the great monk can only accommodate the magical power of 'reaching in one fell swoop'. If one wants to add the 'divine vision', one needs to use the blank talisman of the peak great monk.
Li Shiming controlled the spiritual pen with his consciousness and drew the rune of "Instantaneous Arrival" on the blank talisman of the great monk. This process was not as simple as just drawing the magical rune.
Instead, he had to attach his entire spellcasting process and the space energy that needed to be called upon to the blank talisman, so that activating the talisman could trigger an "instantaneous effect".
The most important thing in drawing talismans, especially high-grade talismans, is the balance of energy.
The runes drawn on a blank talisman need to maintain the energy balance of each part of the talisman. As long as there is the slightest imbalance, the talisman will be scrapped on the spot when the drawing is completed.
Each blank talisman is different, which means that there is a high probability of some accidents occurring during the talisman drawing process.
Although he was a novice, he drew the talismans in the computer room. His control over the precision of 0.05 nanometers meant that each of his strokes could be accurate to near perfection.
As for the difference between blank talismans, when IBMz15 scanned the blank talisman, it analyzed the blank talisman, and the drawing plan developed by IBMz15 was tailored for this blank talisman.
Li Shiming finished drawing the last stroke of the talisman, and the rune "Arrive in One Step" on the talisman emitted a dazzling light. Then a ray of light swept across the surface of the talisman, solidifying the light of the rune "Arrive in One Step".
He took out the 'Reach in One Step' talisman from the computer room, and after sensing it, he found that the spatial moving distance of this 'Reach in One Step' talisman was only five hundred miles.
However, for ordinary cultivators, moving 500 miles in space is enough to save their lives.
Then he put a blank talisman of a peak great monk into the computer room space and drew it again in the computer room space.
This time he first drew the 'Divine Eyes' rune, and then drew the 'Instant Achievement' rune. This made the lines drawn on the talisman extremely complex, and the lines contained spiritual power and a hint of magical energy.
The supernatural power energy replaces the power of rules. When using supernatural powers, the supernatural power energy is equivalent to the power of rules. In addition, strengthening the supernatural power energy can make the effect of the supernatural power better.
This time it took a little longer to draw the talisman, and it took him an hour.
When he was finally solidifying the talisman, if he did not have the control with a precision of 0.05 nanometers, he would have been unable to balance the energy on the talisman.
Li Shiming was almost certain that unless there was a cultivator who had the same computer room space as him, had at least nano-level control, and the terrifying computing power of IBMz15, there was no way he could solidify the two magical powers or spells into one talisman.
Looking at the talisman in his hand, activating this talisman can give him an instant vision of 8,000 miles. He can use 'Reach in One Go' to reach any place within a distance of 8,000 miles that his gaze is locked on.
This is the real life-saving talisman, which can save the life of even the most powerful cultivator.
He could instantly move eight thousand miles in space, and as long as the enemy of a peak great monk was not powerful, he could escape.
Li Shiming had experienced this personally, that even if he could teleport eight thousand miles in an instant, he could not escape the pursuit of a powerful person.
When he tried to draw the 'Thunderbolt Spell' into the blank talisman of the great monk, he found that the blank talisman could not carry this kind of offensive spell. According to IBMz15's analysis, at least a blank talisman of the peak great monk could solidify a powerful offensive spell like the 'Thunderbolt Spell' into the talisman.
This is still the 'Falling Thunder Technique' that has not been blessed by the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl'. If the 'Falling Thunder Technique' blessed by the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' really needs to be solidified, then higher quality blank talismans will need to be used. At least the blank talismans he bought this time are not enough.
No wonder those life-saving talismans are either defensive spells or escape spells, etc., and there are very few offensive talismans. This is probably the reason.
Of course, he had not come into contact with the blank jade talisman used by the powerful, so he could not judge the bearing capacity of that kind of blank jade talisman.
Li Shiming stayed in the cave for five days. He did not spend all this time on the study of talismans. Drawing talismans only required one brain. Outside the computer room, he also read some miscellaneous books purchased from the Yuzhu Islands.
Most of these miscellaneous books are travel notes of monks, which can help him gain more knowledge about the "Cloud Island Sea".
With a loud "bang", Li Shiming felt that the cave was shaking. He was suddenly startled, thinking that his enemies had come to visit him.
He quickly scanned the cave with his spiritual sense, put away his spiritual objects, and flashed out of the cave.
After leaving the cave, he realized that this person was not looking for him.
Outside the fifty caves of great monks on Duiyi Island, more than twenty great monks, like Li Shiming, hurriedly came out of the caves to observe what was happening.
"Fellow Taoists, Yuzhu Island has been attacked by sea beasts. Yuzhu Island will hire every cultivator who is willing to participate in guarding Yuzhu Island and will give corresponding rewards afterwards!" A voice came from the void, and at the same time a will swept across Duiyi Island.
Li Shiming felt this will, and he was almost 100% sure that this was a half-step great master.
Compared to the half-step great power Yang Xing who was killed by him, the aura of this half-step great power is much stronger, but there is still a big gap between him and the real great power.
There is a reason why this half-step great master pays special attention to Duiyi Island. Compared with the cultivators on other islands, the cultivators on Duiyi Island are the strongest.
More than twenty great monks would be a powerful force wherever they are. Hiring them to guard the Yuzhu Islands would not be a problem at all as long as the sea beasts are not particularly powerful.
"Since Senior Yuan has given the order, we will do our best!" A great monk stepped forward and said with a fist salute.
Then other great monks expressed their attitudes one after another, and they were all willing to contribute to the protection of the Yuzhu Islands. Li Shiming did not want to attract the attention of this half-step great master, so he expressed his intention to participate in the protection like other great monks.
Anyway, if there is real danger, he will leave immediately. This place does not belong to him. Does he have to risk his life for it after renting the cave?
Of course, Li Shiming also noticed one thing. Although the strength of more than 20 great monks was very powerful, they were still completely insufficient compared with the half-step great power.
However, this half-step great master would rather spend money to ask more than twenty great monks to take action than to take action on his own, which means that the cost of a half-step great master taking action exceeds the cost of hiring more than twenty great monks to take action.
As for the rest of the low-level monks, even if they were hired, the cost would be far less than hiring a great monk, needless to say.
"Very good. This is the formation control card. Each of you great monks will hold one and enter the designated position. With the protection of the formation, all you need to do is launch an attack with all your strength!" The voice of the half-step great master named Yuan came again.
Then, the monks from the Yuzhu Islands sent formation control cards to Li Shiming and other great monks. The formation control card that Li Shiming received had a standard number on it, which was the number of the formation node.
It is not necessary for a great monk to understand the formation, or understand the meaning of the numbers. When using spiritual consciousness to connect to the formation control card, he will receive the location of the formation node he needs to go to.
The node of Li Shiming's formation was on Zhenyi Island in the east. He used sword escape to fly to Zhenyi Island like a normal sword cultivator.
With the formation control card, he obtained partial temporary authority over the formation and could see the formation nodes that needed to be guarded without any operation.
After this formation node on Zhenyi Island appeared, there were complex circular patterns on the ground, and the patterns emitted dazzling light.
Li Shiming only took a glance and couldn't help but despise the stinginess of the Jade Pearl Islands in his heart. These dazzling lights were the secrets that concealed the nodes of the formation.
He stood in the light and immediately felt a connection between himself and the formation.
The formation not only provided him with defense, but also became the source of his spiritual energy.
If he casts magic, he can draw spiritual energy from the formation for his own use.
The formation of the Yuzhu Islands can transform spiritual power into spiritual power of various attributes, so that all great cultivators can borrow the spiritual energy from the formation.
But he didn't know whether this formation could be transformed into thunder spiritual power if he used thunder magic.
He was just thinking that if Lei Xiu's identity was really exposed, he would probably be immediately noticed by many sects.
In the world of immortal cultivation, the number of thunder cultivators has always been small, not to mention great thunder cultivators, who are even rarer.
The Yuzhu Islands are the closest to the sea area where the temple is located. If Lei Xiu's identity were to be exposed here, he would definitely be in endless trouble.
Taking advantage of the connection with the formation, Li Shiming began to mobilize IBMz15 to study the formation.
