Li Shiming felt like he was uncovering a treasure trove; there were indeed many valuable items within Great Cultivator Zhaoâs Mustard Seed Ring.
âTraceless Illusion Goldâ such high-quality artifact refining material had never appeared even at the Taichu Sectâs grand auction.
"Found it!" he exclaimed excitedly when his Divine Sense scanned a Jade Scroll.
Indeed, being a Great Cultivator with a high status in Gu Feng Sect, he kept the sectâs heirloom manual on him.
âTuo Luo Insect Manual,â the manual for nurturing spiritual insects, is the foundation of the Gu Feng Sect.
Aside from the âTuo Luo Insect Manualâ Jade Scroll, he also discovered insights from Great Cultivator Zhao on nurturing the âSilver Winged Spirit Gu Insect.â
Li Shiming stored the contents of the Jade Scroll in his life-bound magical artifact IBMz15 and grasped all the knowledge within moments.
He also found the method to contract the âSilver Winged Spirit Gu Insect,â and understood why Great Cultivator Zhaoâs Nascent Soul was chased relentlessly by two âSilver Winged Spirit Gu Insectsâ that day.
The âSilver Winged Spirit Gu Insectâ is exceedingly formidable, but subduing them is extremely difficult and can result in backlash if careless.
Through analyzing the âTuo Luo Insect Manualâ and Great Cultivator Zhaoâs insights into nurturing the âSilver Winged Spirit Gu Insect,â Li Shiming discovered that his current Spirit could successfully contract a âSilver Winged Spirit Gu Insect.â
However, his Spirit is only sufficient to contract one âSilver Winged Spirit Gu Insect,â and controlling this insect requires the simultaneous use of ten minds.
Less than ten minds in control will result in backlash from the âSilver Winged Spirit Gu Insect.â
One âSilver Winged Spirit Gu Insectâ is his limit, and that is because he has cultivated the âHuman Dao Reincarnation Technique,â owning one hundred ninety-one minds, each of which achieved a Spirit level comparable to Nascent Soul Early Stage.
He did not immediately contract the âSilver Winged Spirit Gu Insect,â choosing instead to continue examining other Spiritual Objects.
He found stored Spirit Pills and Spiritual Medicine by Great Cultivator Zhao, six Nascent Soul Late Stage Fourth Grade Cultivation Assistance Spirit Pills, all of average quality.
Additionally, there were four complete sets of Spiritual Medicine for Nascent Soul Late Stage Fourth Grade Cultivation Assistance Spirit Pills, along with the Elixir Recipe.
Spiritual Medicine and Elixir Recipe together are standard practice.
Judging from the quality of those six Nascent Soul Late Stage Fourth Grade Spirit Pills, the Alchemy Master of Gu Feng Sect seemed average. Great Cultivator Zhao might be hoping to encounter a better Alchemy Master, which is why he kept some Spiritual Medicine for Nascent Soul Late Stage Spirit Pills.
Li Shiming did not hesitate, finding the Spiritual Medicine for Nascent Soul Late Stage Fourth Grade Healing Spirit Pills and allocating a mind to control the Golden Corpse Nanming and begin alchemy in the space of the chamber.
Great Cultivator Zhaoâs injuries were severe; without timely treatment, he would not survive long, and should a battle occur and call for his bodyâs assistance, one fight would crumble his body.
With his unmatched alchemy ability, one set of Spiritual Medicine for Nascent Soul Late Stage Healing Spirit Pills can produce six Nascent Soul Late Stage Fourth Grade Advanced Healing Elixirs.
Itâs believed that, as long as thereâs a Nascent Soul Late Stage Fourth Grade Advanced Healing Elixir, the injuries of Great Cultivator Zhaoâs body would be controlled and might even heal.
Li Shiming proceeded to find a substantial number of Fourth-grade Puppet Mechanism Materials within the Mustard Seed Ring, leaving him curious as Great Cultivator Zhaoâs intentâwhether he planned to self-create Fourth-grade Puppets or had other plans, gathering so many materials.
Regardless, understanding the truth is no longer possible, but heâs gained the ultimate benefit.
After inspecting the Fourth-grade Puppet Mechanism Materials, analyzed through IBMz15, itâs enough to manufacture three Fourth-grade Puppets.
This greatly pleases him; having expended effort trying different methods to collect Fourth-grade Puppet Mechanism Materials without much success.
Surprisingly, Great Cultivator Zhaoâs Mustard Seed Ring did not house as many magical artifacts as Li Shiming imagined. Aside from the life-bound artifactâthe bamboo Spirit Whipâonly a single Fourth-grade tower-shaped magical treasure was found.
Li Shiming embedded the Master Recognition Technique into it, identifying the Fourth-grade tower-shaped magical treasure as âSix Gates Cold Tower.â
Itâs a water attribute magical treasure, capable of offense and defense, transforming into a giant tower to suppress enemies, ensnaring them within and employing its icy restrictions for lethal entrapment.
âSix Gates Cold Towerâ is a top-level Fourth Grade Magical Treasure, possessing four Dao Rhythms.
However, âSix Gates Cold Towerâ is not quite suited for Li Shiming; at least not until he acquires a powerful water attribute Secret Technique. He would refrain from using it in battle, nor invest considerable time in refining it.
Heâs inclined toward self-crafting for magical treasures.
Self-crafted magical treasures align more closely with himself, plus without needing refinement, perfect control is attainable.
Most importantly, the power of his self-crafted treasures far surpasses ordinary ones.
He collected Great Cultivator Zhaoâs Mustard Seed Ring into the chamber spaceâowning this ring will keep him occupied for a lengthy period.
Directing his focus onto Great Cultivator Zhaoâs body, he observed the Daoist robe worn having unique attributes.
After casting the Master Recognition Technique towards the robe, named âWater Dragon Taoist Robe,â he recognized its uniqueness upon mastery.
âWater Dragon Taoist Robeâ was currently in a damaged and recovering state due to a full-force close-range strike from Master Ding and Grandmaster Hu.
