If the Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioners of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect knew Li Shimingâs thoughts, they might have beaten him to death.
He somewhat disliked the high-grade fourth-grade Spirit Pills, those were theoretically the highest quality fourth-grade Spirit Pills that an Alchemy Master could normally produce.
After consuming five fourth-grade top-grade Spirit Pills, he had only two left in his hand.
No longer thinking about these, the five Nascent Souls started cultivating, with Spiritual Power Pattern flowing inside them according to the cultivation technique path of the Nascent Soul Chapter of the âFive Rhymes Qi Cultivation Techniqueâ.
The external Spiritual Energy was absorbed into the body, and then entered the Nascent Souls through the body.
The five Nascent Souls maintained the âFive Elements Qi Absorption Arrayâ, allowing the Spiritual Power Pattern to be interconnected during their cultivation.
Most critically, once the Spiritual Power Pattern circulates in the âFive Elements Qi Absorption Arrayâ of the five Nascent Souls, it gets converted into the Spiritual Power Pattern only attainable at the Peak of Early-stage Nascent Soul.
Perhaps in the past, this small realmâs peak Spiritual Power Pattern could only enhance a cultivatorâs combat power, with little other impact.
However, during the Nascent Soul Stage, the âFive Elements Qi Absorption Arrayâ demonstrated extremely formidable effects.
The Nascent Soul is composed of Spiritual Power Pattern, Spirit, and vitality; cultivation is about enhancing the Spiritual Power Pattern, while the improvement in Spirit is relatively less important. Once Spiritual Power Pattern reaches the peak of the early Nascent Soul, the Nascent Soulâs realm matches accordingly.
As long as all the current Spiritual Power Pattern within Li Shimingâs five Nascent Souls is replaced by the âFive Elements Qi Absorption Arrayâ with the peak Spiritual Power Pattern of early-stage Nascent Soul, the realms of the five Nascent Souls are forcibly raised to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.
Of course, this peak of the early-stage Nascent Soul realm is somewhat false, due to the low total amount of Spiritual Power Pattern in the Nascent Souls, meaning that breaking through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage requires a long time to accumulate.
But the benefits are evident; firstly, he can immediately display the peak strength of early-stage Nascent Soul. Although the total Spiritual Power Pattern is insufficient, the power reaches the peak of the early Nascent Soul.
Secondly, he doesnât need much compression of Spiritual Power Pattern, greatly reducing the difficulty of his cultivation.
Why do Nascent Soul cultivators spend an extremely long time cultivating? The primary reason is the constant need to compress Spiritual Power Pattern; the number of compressions depends on each cultivatorâs innate talent and the cultivation technique grade.
Only by compressing Spiritual Power Pattern to a certain extent can one meet the small realmâs peak conditions.
The situation of Li Shimingâs five Nascent Souls is skipping these steps, reducing a significant amount of cultivation effort.
This is the reward he deserves; the difficulty of his tribulation is such that for other cultivators, itâs almost fatal. The difficulty of the tribulation indicated that the five Golden Cores and the âFive Elements Qi Absorption Arrayâ he created were intolerable to heaven and earth.
Now is the time for harvest; having paid so much effort, the benefits he receives now are the result of his efforts.
He is unaware of the cultivation situation of other early-stage Nascent Soul practitioners; he spent a hundred days solely cultivating the âFive Rhymes Qi Cultivation Techniqueâ, then another hundred days cultivating the âYuqing Thunder Scriptureâ.
As for the Body Refining Technique âTaiqing Xuan Turtle Techniqueâ, because it acts on the body, he continues to maintain the operation of the Body Refining Technique âTaiqing Xuan Turtle Techniqueâ during cultivation.
The âHuman Dao Reincarnation Techniqueâ is a spiritual cultivation method; he casts five brains into the five Nascent Souls, cultivating through independent brains.
In this way, he cultivated all four techniques.
This situation is extremely rare; generally, after just ascending to the early-stage Nascent Soul, practitioners will only choose to primarily cultivate, considering further cultivation of secondary techniques only after achieving a certain degree in the primary technique.
Moreover, simultaneously cultivating Body Refining Techniques and spiritual techniques is unthinkable. Without Li Shimingâs many spare brains, he wouldnât be able to carry out such cultivation.
He secluded himself for two hundred days, yet his alchemy didnât stop.
He announced that he had cultivated a Divine Separation Technique, enabling him to multitask, continuing alchemy even during cultivation.
Initially, those early-stage Nascent Soul practitioners couldnât believe he had such capability, since even the sectâs three Nascent Soul Stage Alchemy Masters hadnât achieved such means.
The Divine Separation Technique isnât particularly difficult for cultivators; many will cultivate it, but claiming it can allow multitasking in both cultivation and alchemy â its difficulty is beyond mere imagination.
Whether itâs cultivation or alchemy, extreme concentration from the practitioner is required. Lack of focus in cultivation results in Qi deviation, while lack of focus in alchemy leads to failure.
Li Shimingâs solution is quite simple; he took on alchemy tasks from the sect. The sectâs steward delivered alchemy materials to the mountain peak, where Li Si received them.
After submitting the first batch of mid-level fourth-grade Spirit Pills back to the sect, he also earned the trust of the early-stage Nascent Soul practitioners.
During those two hundred days, Li Si perfectly fulfilled the duties an agent should perform.
No Nascent Soul cultivator noticed anything special about Li Si; they only assumed him to be Li Shimingâs servant taken from outside.
They merely wondered why a Body Refining Grand Elder would willingly become Li Shimingâs servant.
Li Shiming completed his first cultivation; the amount of Spiritual Power Pattern in his body reached about one percent of what should be at the peak of early-stage Nascent Soul.
Donât underestimate this one percent; due to the âFive Elements Qi Absorption Arrayâ, he doesnât need to compress Spiritual Power Pattern, making his one percent pure.
