NOVEL NEXT Chapter 560: Inventory
Li Shiming felt like he was uncovering a treasure trove; there were indeed many valuable items within Great Cultivator Zhao's Mustard Seed Ring.
'Traceless Illusion Gold' such high-quality artifact refining material had never appeared even at the Taichu Sect's 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 sect's heirloom manual on him.
'Tuo Luo Insect Manual,' the manual for nurturing spiritual insects, is the foundation of the Gu Feng Sect.
Aside from the 'Tuo Luo Insect Manual' Jade Scroll, he also discovered insights from Great Cultivator Zhao on nurturing the 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insect.'
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 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insect,' and understood why Great Cultivator Zhao's Nascent Soul was chased relentlessly by two 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects' that day.
The 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insect' is exceedingly formidable, but subduing them is extremely difficult and can result in backlash if careless.
Through analyzing the 'Tuo Luo Insect Manual' and Great Cultivator Zhao's insights into nurturing the 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insect,' Li Shiming discovered that his current Spirit could successfully contract a 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insect.'
However, his Spirit is only sufficient to contract one 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insect,' and controlling this insect requires the simultaneous use of ten minds.
Less than ten minds in control will result in backlash from the 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insect.'
One 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insect' is his limit, and that is because he has cultivated the 'Human Dao Reincarnation Technique,' 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 'Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insect,' 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 Zhao's injuries were severe; without timely treatment, he would not survive long, and should a battle occur and call for his body's 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.
It's believed that, as long as there's a Nascent Soul Late Stage Fourth Grade Advanced Healing Elixir, the injuries of Great Cultivator Zhao's 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 Zhao's intent—whether 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 he's gained the ultimate benefit.
After inspecting the Fourth-grade Puppet Mechanism Materials, analyzed through IBMz15, it's 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 Zhao's Mustard Seed Ring did not house as many magical artifacts as Li Shiming imagined. Aside from the life-bound artifact—the bamboo Spirit Whip—only 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 'Six Gates Cold Tower.'
It's 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.
'Six Gates Cold Tower' is a top-level Fourth Grade Magical Treasure, possessing four Dao Rhythms.
However, 'Six Gates Cold Tower' 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.
He's 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 Zhao's Mustard Seed Ring into the chamber space—owning this ring will keep him occupied for a lengthy period.
Directing his focus onto Great Cultivator Zhao's body, he observed the Daoist robe worn having unique attributes.
After casting the Master Recognition Technique towards the robe, named 'Water Dragon Taoist Robe,' he recognized its uniqueness upon mastery.
'Water Dragon Taoist Robe' was currently in a damaged and recovering state due to a full-force close-range strike from Master Ding and Grandmaster Hu.
