Chapter 574: Departure
Li Yuanba successfully passed the Heavenly Tribulation and advanced to the Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator stage. Li Shiming, residing in his own cave of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, smiled.
Li Yuanba's avatar was extremely important to Li Shiming and was of great help to him when he was on the Beishu Continent.
Unfortunately, after arriving at the Dongqi Continent, Li Yuanba's realm was too low, and Li Shiming's advancement was too fast, making Li Yuanba unable to provide help and instead needing protection here.
Finally, Li Yuanba became a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator, no longer needing Li Shiming's protection and able to fly solo.
In the temporary cave abode, Master Uncle Wu specially explained the Yuan Ying chapter of the "Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique" to Li Yuanba, which was precisely what he needed.
The next few years were the period for Li Yuanba to stabilize his realm and also an important time to lay the foundation for the Nascent Soul Stage.
"Yuanba, I'm planning to return to the 'Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.' Would you like to return with me?" One day Master Uncle Wu asked Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba pondered for a moment; originally, he intended to go to the 'Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.'
Although the combat power of his true self, Li Shiming, was top-notch within the Nascent Soul Early Stage, crossing the ocean to reach the Central State Continent was extremely dangerous even with the knowledge of the route.
But with Master Uncle Wu leading the way to the Central State Continent, it was different. With the strength of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator, crossing the sea would likely pose no danger at all.
Those Fourth Grade Spirit Beasts should be more worried about encountering Master Uncle Wu.
"Master Uncle, I'd like to return to the Sect with you!" Li Yuanba bowed and replied.
"Then let's set off now; you can cultivate on the flying boat!" Master Uncle Wu said with a smile.
Master Uncle Wu's flying vessel was a small Fourth-grade flying boat, equipped internally with a vein-locking plate, with Nascent Soul Mid-stage Spiritual Veins, allowing the inside of the vessel to be saturated with Spiritual Energy, sufficient for Li Yuanba's cultivation needs.
The Fourth-grade flying boat departed from the area, without concealing their movement, allowing the cultivators observing from afar to relax.
No one desired such a terrifying Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator to exist near their domain.
Li Yuanba sat in the cabin; he didn't need to concern himself with the journey, only needing to cultivate the "Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique."
Master Uncle Wu continued to explain the Yuan Ying chapter of the "Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique" to him every morning and guided his cultivation.
The cultivation conditions were extremely favorable; however, the quantity of Nascent Soul Early Stage Fourth Grade Cultivation Assistance Spirit Pills he carried was limited, mainly because Li Shiming hadn't anticipated Li Yuanba's quick advancement to the Nascent Soul Stage.
But this was not a big issue; as long as Li Yuanba had Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicine, he could independently refine Fourth-grade Spirit Pills. His alchemy level wasn't far behind Li Shiming's.
The only factor where he couldn't compare to Li Shiming was the success rate of the "Hundred One-point Pill Technique". In terms of quality, he was slightly inferior to Li Shiming, but in terms of quantity, it was half less.
Yet even so, with his alchemy ability, he would be able to cultivate without worry on any continent.
Even if resources were scarce in the Cultivation World, it would never lack resources for alchemy masters with extremely high alchemy abilities.
Li Yuanba followed Master Uncle Wu away from the Dongqi Continent, allowing Li Shiming to avoid a long journey. Li Shiming could then comfortably continue cultivating in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.
Golden Corpse Nanming stood in the Artifact Refining Room of the cave abode, faced with a lump of Fourth-grade Metal melted by 'Nanming Leaving Fire.'
Li Shiming's true self simultaneously handled many tasks, with one of his brains controlling the Golden Corpse Nanming for artifact refining.
Recently, he fully integrated the artifact refining inheritance from the Hundred Refinement Sect, and under the analysis and calculation of the natal magic treasure IBMz15, he brought out all his Fourth-grade Lower Middle-stage Metal.
Due to the large number of flying swords needed to be refined this time, and as the Fourth Grade Metal increased with rewards from alchemy, he didn't intend to use his unique 5-nanometer artifact refining method.
This time, he used purely traditional artifact refining methods. Although Golden Corpse Nanming handled the refining, it was within the same cave abode and within his Divine Sense range, with his brain controlling Golden Corpse Nanming, making it scarcely different from refining by his own hand.
The greatest advantage of traditional artifact refining methods was the relatively faster speed, relative because with IBMz15's assistance, he could accomplish precise spell imbuing on sword billets without needing to adjust the flying sword's energy balance, all predefined by IBMz15.
While Golden Corpse Nanming was refining artifacts, next to true self Li Shiming, there were thirty-five flying sword magic treasures, all recently refined Fourth-grade Flying Swords.
These Fourth-grade Flying Swords, even with traditional refining techniques, at least possessed Fourth-grade Mid-stage Quality under his perfect refining ability.
Even with using Fourth-grade Lower Metal to refine flying sword magic treasures, with the inheritance from the Hundred Refinement Sect and perfect refining abilities, he could still produce Fourth-grade Mid-stage Flying Swords.
These thirty-five flying sword magic treasures were being nurtured individually by his thirty-five brains, blessing them with 'Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent.'
This task required at least a hundred days for the sword intent to gestate on the flying sword magic treasures; of course, the longer the nurturing time, the stronger the sword intent within.
Li Shiming didn't mind the hassle; anyway, for flying sword magic treasures recently crafted, he had enough brains for nurturing.
He did so with the intent to cultivate the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' magic treasure. Since Li Yuanba's practical battles with the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' magic treasure, he had placed greater importance on it.
