Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 80 Doubts (Wishing you well-being at the Dragon Boat Festival!)

”Mr. Liuʼs judgment was wrong; this is not a copper corpse at the Qi Refining Middle Stage!” Li Shiming assessed the situation of the copper corpse, and with the knowledge from the ʼXuanming Corpse Refining Chapter,ʼ he was able to accurately determine the strength of the copper corpse.

The copper corpse he had subdued possessed the strength of the Qi Refining Seventh Level, far beyond the Qi Refining Middle Stage that clan leader Liu had informed him of initially.

Now that the copper corpse was subdued, he faced a problem: the gap between his strength and that of the copper corpse was too great.

Previously, he thought the copper corpse was at the Qi Refining Middle Stage, and with his strength at the Qi Refining Third Level, making a Blood Covenant and subduing it hadnʼt been too troublesome.

But a copper corpse at the Qi Refining Seventh Level was far too strong for him.

He would face the worst-case scenario recorded in the ʼXuanming Corpse Refining Chapter,ʼ being subjected to backlash from the copper corpse every midnight, just as intense as the backlash when he signed the Blood Covenant.

Experience more tales on

This was a burden for Li Shiming, but not an insurmountable one.

One method was to play the ʼGreat Compassion Mantraʼ on the IBMz15 at midnight, occupying his senses first to lessen the impact of the backlash.

The other was to quickly enhance his strength. As long as he reached the Qi Refining Fourth Level, he could narrow the gap with the copper corpse and make the backlash disappear on its own.

He really wanted to continue studying the ʼXuanming Corpse Refining Chapter,ʼ but he was in Qingqiu Pavilion, insulated by an Array, and he dared not guarantee that unleashing the copper corpse wouldnʼt be detected by the grand Array of Qingqiu Pavilion.

He took out the Gathering Spirit Plate and placed it beneath him.

In a moment, a sphere of light appeared above the Gathering Spirit Plate, and within this sphere, he felt as if he were submerged in a pool of Spiritual Energy.

In such an environment, not to mention cultivating, just by continuously breathing, one could improve oneʼs strength.

Only now did he truly understand what Senior Brother Zhu Ji meant by the newcomer phaseʼs benefits. With the Gathering Spirit Plate coupled with the dense Spiritual Energy here, his advancement to the Qi Refining Fourth Level would come much sooner than expected.

The Five Elements Qi Absorption Technique began to circulate, and he sensed countless points of Spiritual Energy throughout his surroundings.

Through the energy points within his body, and through his mouth and nose, he captured all the Spiritual Energy he could.

Moreover, because the points of Spiritual Energy were so densely packed, he had the opportunity to make a choice, and all the Spiritual Energy points he captured were golden.

Having heard Senior Brother Zhu Jiʼs explanation, Li Shiming believed that with his Metal Spirit Root reaching 81, absorbing Metal-type Spiritual Energy was the best option for him.

He didnʼt know if this choice was correct, but thinking about it, didnʼt all newcomers choose Cultivation Techniques based on their spirit root seeds in order to absorb the corresponding type of Spiritual Energy better?

The Five Elements Qi Absorption Technique didnʼt demand a specific type of Spiritual Energy; absorbing Metal-type appeared to have little difference in cultivation effect compared to absorbing three types of Spiritual Energy.

One session of the Five Elements Qi Absorption Technique practice concluded, and he checked the time—it had taken about two hours.

His body wanted to practice again, but it required rest for 24 hours, equivalent to a day.

He felt it was such a waste; he wished he could spend all of his time every day cultivating.

But he also understood the dangers of being too impatient; his body was still undergoing transformation by Spiritual Power.

He stood up, retrieved the Gathering Spirit Plate into his spatial storage, and walked out after opening the door.

Arriving on the first floor, he saw that only one newcomer was left asking questions at Senior Brother Jiʼs side, so he waited to the side.

”Senior Brother Ji!” Once the newcomer had finished asking questions, Li Shiming stepped forward and bowed.
