Li Shiming's brain borrowed the computing power of IBMz15. He was shocked to find that the advantage of IBMz15 in magic array was unimaginable.

There are many factors to consider when establishing a magic circle.

A normal entry-level formation master can only use the refined formation flags. According to the actual environment and the direction of the terrain, he can place the formation flags in various directions to connect the spiritual energy in order to achieve the purpose of spiritual energy flow.

Only experienced intermediate formation masters can design formations without formation flags.

Of course, this does not mean that the disc-type magic array is more powerful, but that the disc-type magic array is easier to carry.

The Xiang Sect's mountain protection formation was not arranged in the form of an array plate, but was made using a large amount of precious materials to make array flags, supplemented by rare spiritual objects.

Li Shiming's design on paper has already surpassed the level of an entry-level formation master.

Although it is just a design drawing and not actual production, for the array master, design is more important than production.

Design requires thinking, while production requires a lot of hands-on skills.

He called upon a large amount of knowledge about formations, and IBM z15 solved the biggest computing problem, allowing him to substitute his ideas into his mind at will and quickly analyze whether they were feasible.

The design that could be put on paper had already been calculated by him through IBM z15.

Yin Shilan was appreciative at first. She was impressed by the fact that Li Shiming was able to apply the inherited formation to practical design so quickly, which made her regard Li Shiming as a formation genius like her.

But as time went on, the admiration in her eyes turned into surprise.

Li Shiming's design seemed immature at first, but it was very imaginative in many aspects. Even she, a mid-level formation master who had just broken through, felt that there was room for her to participate in the design ideas.

The most crucial thing is that Li Shiming's calculation speed is too fast. Yin Shilan started at the same time as him, but Yin Shilan was still thinking when he wrote down the result on paper.

"Can this place be designed like this?" Yin Shilan's love for magic circles turned her from a spectator into a co-participant. She pointed at one place with her slender jade-white fingers and drew a symbol.

"Yes, such a design can improve the efficiency of the magic array by 10%!" Li Shiming's brain was closely integrated with IBM z15 at this time, and he nodded in agreement very quickly.

The two of them looked at the designs on paper. Yin Shilan made suggestions from time to time, and Li Shiming sometimes agreed and sometimes refuted.

Both of them had forgotten about the flying boat, which had already reached Eagle's Beak Island and stopped on the sea outside the island.

After an unknown amount of time, the tortoise shell design on paper was perfected by the two of them and a special magic circle was designed.

The Spirit Turtle Shield is a mid-grade defensive magic weapon. If it is equipped with a designed magic array, the defense of the Spirit Turtle Shield can be increased to the level of a top-grade defensive magic weapon. It also has a strobe mode that can trigger dazzling flashes in an instant.

The blinding flash has a stun effect, which can affect the attacker for a short period of time.

Of course, in order to make the Spirit Turtle Shield into a magic circle, a lot of precious magic circle materials are needed. With Li Shiming's financial resources, he doesn't need to consider it in the short term.

The most proud thing about Li Shiming's work is that this magic circle can work while moving.

But the prerequisite is that the magic circle must be controlled by him to have such an effect. If it is controlled by Yin Shilan, it may be able to move, but it cannot move flexibly.

This involves calculation ability. He used several mathematical formulas to transform the originally extremely complicated calculation into one that can be solved by substituting the mathematical formulas.

Why the magic array cannot be moved after it is set up is because when setting up the magic array, whether it is using array flags or array plates, it is necessary to analyze and calculate the surrounding environment in advance.

The array disk has built-in environmental judgment, and as long as the environment is not too complicated, the array can be set up in a short time.

Once the magic array is set up, the environment cannot be changed, otherwise all the data calculated in advance in the magic array will be wrong, causing the magic array to crash.

Li Shiming designed a new mathematical formula for this magic circle, reduced the calculation process, and designed the mobile magic circle with a completely new idea.

There were stars in Yin Shilan's eyes. Even her formation instructor did not make her feel admiration for him. This could be regarded as the creation of a new school of formation.

"Okay, I'll make this magic circle when I have the chance!" Li Shiming said, stretching.

His arm accidentally touched Yin Shilan beside him, and he quickly withdrew his arm.

It was not until now that the two realized that they were almost head to head with less than a fist's distance between them.

Yin Shilan's figure was illusory for a moment, and then appeared at her original position.

"The flying boat has stopped!" Li Shiming smelled the faint fragrance of orchid. He felt a little flustered and quickly changed the subject.

"Take out your identity jade disc. If you have any questions about the formation in the future, you can ask me through the identity jade disc. I might also have questions to ask you in the future!" Yin Shilan gently tidied a strand of hair at her temple with her hand, and said, suppressing the shyness in her heart.

Li Shiming had received so many benefits from her, so of course he would not refuse. He took out his identity jade disc.

Yin Shilan also took out her identity jade disc, and the two added each other's identity information.

"Can you lend me the Spirit Turtle Shield and this design for a few days?" Yin Shilan asked after putting away the identity jade disc.

"Take it!" Li Shiming did not hesitate. This design drawing could be said to be designed by two people together. With the help of IBMz15, he had already saved the design drawing as data.

In addition, the biggest gain this time was not the design drawings, but the inheritance of the magic array. Through the collision of ideas with Yin Shilan, he truly approached the level of a magic array master.

All he lacked to become a magic array master were the materials and the hands-on skills, which he was unable to solve for the time being because his financial resources were not enough to support his research into magic array masters.

As for the Spirit Turtle Shield, it is only worth a few spirit stones. The magic circle inheritance that Yin Shilan took out is probably dozens of times more valuable than the Spirit Turtle Shield.

"I've received your design drawings. I'll give you this first-grade realm-breaking pill so that you can break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining as soon as possible. Your current spiritual power is not enough to make a magic circle!" Yin Shilan placed a jade bottle in front of Li Shiming and explained as if she was afraid that he would refuse.

As the name suggests, the realm-breaking pill is used by cultivators to break through the realm. The first grade represents a realm-breaking pill used in the Qi Refining period.

Li Shiming looked at Yin Shilan's expectant expression, he smiled and put away the jade bottle.

"Come visit Eagle's Beak Island when you have time!" He looked at the time, stood up and said.

"I will send the design drawings of the magic circle in a few days!" Yin Shilan then stood up and said as he opened the hatch.

As if intentionally or unintentionally, the two agreed to meet next time.

Li Shiming leaped onto the island and watched the flying boat slowly speed away, feeling a little sad.

Only then did he realize that another magic circle design seemed to be in his hands.

After returning to the cave, Li Shiming opened the jade bottle.

A pill with a purple aura came into view, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but gasp.

After reading the knowledge of the Qi-refining monks, he had a certain understanding of elixirs.

The elixirs for the Qi Refining Stage are first-grade elixirs, which are further divided into low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade and top-grade elixirs.

Low-level elixirs have a white aura, mid-level elixirs have a red aura, high-level elixirs have a green aura, and the top-level elixirs have a purple aura.

The realm-breaking pill in his hand is a top-grade pill, and is the second most important pill in the Qi Refining Stage after the Foundation Establishment Pill.

As far as he knew, a top-grade breakthrough pill would be a bit of a luxury even if he used it to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, let alone enter the late stage of Qi Refining, let alone the third level of Qi Refining.

Because the greatest use of the top-grade first-level breakthrough pill is to be used in conjunction with the foundation-building pill, when a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining uses the foundation-building pill to reach the foundation-building stage, the top-grade first-level breakthrough pill can increase the probability by almost half.

Don't underestimate the probability of half success. Many times, this half success makes a world of difference.

Yin Shilan casually gave Li Shiming a top-grade realm-breaking pill, which made Li Shiming feel puzzled.

It is the most difficult to accept the favor of a beautiful woman. Li Shiming experienced this feeling for the first time.

He did not use the top-grade first-level breakthrough pill to break through. He was worried about being struck by lightning because he used this resource to break through to the third level of Qi Refining.

Besides, after using the spiritual tea this time, he was very close to the peak of the third level of Qi Refining. He had to at least try to break through on his own. The top-grade breakthrough pill could serve as the final guarantee.

Li Shiming sent a message to Qiu Tan through his identity jade disc, ordering a batch of primary magic array materials and a large amount of mortal metals.

From then on, he no longer had to grow spiritual rice, so his available time increased significantly.

The basic magic array materials are used for training, and are what he can barely afford at the moment.

Mortal Metal is preparing to transform the underground space, and he plans to use the free time for some necessary experiments.

Qiu Tan replied that the materials he ordered would take twenty days to be delivered. The primary magic array materials could be obtained within the sect, but the mortal metals had to be transported through the secular channels, which took a lot of time.

Li Shiming was not in a hurry. The work of Lingzhifu would be stopped for nearly six months, so there was plenty of time.

Of course, although he no longer grows spiritual rice, he will still use a small amount of spiritual fields to plant the spiritual seeds he brought back.

Moreover, the spiritual fields cannot be left alone without planting. If that were the case, after six months, the quality of the spiritual fields would probably drop to that of low-grade spiritual fields.

He found the soil analysis data from IBM z15, sent the spiritual soil from the spiritual field into the computer room, and used micron-level consciousness to conduct a material analysis of the spiritual soil.

He determined the effective nutrient composition of the spiritual soil, the content of ammonium nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, effective phosphorus and potassium, and also measured the organic matter and pH.

Although he could not measure the spiritual energy in the spiritual field through IBMz15, he could use the 'Earth Spirit Technique' to regulate the spiritual energy.

He used the best standards from his previous life's agricultural research to constantly adjust the effective nutrients, organic matter and pH value in the spiritual soil, transforming it little by little into the best.

He spent ten mornings on this task, two hours each day, and with the help of the "Spring Breeze and Rain Art" and the "Earth Spirit Art", he suddenly discovered that the spiritual field had been upgraded from a low-grade spiritual field to a mid-grade spiritual field.

According to his judgment, the spiritual soil in the spiritual field is in the optimal state for a lower-grade spiritual field, but the fusion state of spiritual energy and spiritual soil has not reached the optimal state, which affects the grade of the spiritual field.

Adjusting the spiritual energy of the spiritual field is a slow process that needs to be carried out continuously every day.

Li Shiming had some prospects. When planting spiritual rice next time, these five acres of spiritual fields would be upgraded to high-grade spiritual fields.

This is also the best among the lower-grade spiritual fields. If you want to improve the grade of the spiritual field, it is not that simple. You need to invest a considerable amount of spiritual objects to upgrade the spiritual soil before a lower-grade spiritual field can be upgraded to a medium-grade spiritual field.

However, the output of spiritual rice grown in the high-grade spiritual field far exceeds that of the original state of the spiritual field.

A small piece of spiritual plant has sprouted, and Li Shiming made a small glass house for it.

These glasses were his few remaining stocks. After leaving the secular world, it was too troublesome to buy secular supplies in the sect.

If he hadn't met Qiu Tan, he might not even be able to find a channel to purchase it.

During these ten days, he contacted Yin Shilan every day through the identity jade disc. Since they were both cultivators, they opened the identity jade disc at a fixed time at noon every day.

At first, it was Yin Shilan who asked him some calculation questions and contacted him at noon.

He was also constantly studying the inheritance of magic arrays and discovered some problems that he didn't understand. In order to accommodate Yin Shilan's schedule, and because he had free time at noon, he contacted Yin Shilan at this time.

During the ten days, the two had never lost contact. Although they only talked about things related to magic arrays, their relationship did not become cold due to not meeting each other. On the contrary, they both quietly arranged their lunch time.

Half an hour after noon, the two of them ended their contact tacitly.

Li Shiming was in a very good mood and put his consciousness into the computer room. After a period of growth, the spiritual tea tree was completely alive.

Originally he had not planned to pick tea now as the tea trees had not yet grown to their best condition.

But from today's contact with Yin Shilan, he understood that Yin Shilan was going to come over soon.

This was Yin Shilan’s first time as a guest in the cave, so he had to prepare something to entertain her.

The only thing he could show off at the moment was the spiritual tea. Even though the spiritual tea was combined with the spiritual spring water, it was still no match for Yin Shilan's hospitality to him.

Because the quality of his spiritual tea is not as good as the one Yin Shilan brought out, this is the essential difference between the spiritual tea trees.

Li Shiming's consciousness was carefully picking the tenderest buds from the branches of the spiritual tea tree, and even the frying process was all completed in the machine room.

Ten young buds are stir-fried with micron-level control to ensure the quality of the spiritual tea to the greatest extent.

It's not that he is stingy, but the spiritual tea is special and he only brews two pieces at a time.

If he wasn't worried about looking too ugly and making himself look stingy as the host, he would have wanted to pick only four tender buds. He packed the roasted spiritual tea in a jade box.

He took some more water from the spiritual spring and put it in the jade box as well.

He planned to replace the spiritual spring water in the jade box every day. The spiritual spring was underground, which was the area where he planned to set up a laboratory.

Having wasted some time during the day, he made up for the practice of the 'Sword Controlling Technique' at night.

When he was practicing the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique' at night, he felt the existence of a bottleneck, which meant that he had completely reached the peak of the third level of Qi Refining. As long as he broke through this bottleneck, he could enter the middle stage of Qi Refining.
