Cultivation is just Chapter 43 Experiment

Outside the Central Capital, Li Shiming stood at the foot of a small mountain.

He was there to experint with spells. In the Central Capital, using a spell with minimal spiritual power fluctuation like the "Gold tal Technique" was not a problem, but using the "Fire Bomb Skill" was absolutely forbidden.

Gu Jia was stationed in the Central Capital specifically to maintain its peace and did not allow cultivators to cause trouble within this area.

Although Li Shiming had interactions with Gu Jia, he would not act recklessly because of this.

Besides, although the Central Capital was large, there was no place for him to truly experint with the "Light Body Technique."

The spiritual power glow lit up on his fingers as he drew the Light Body Rune, which he had comprehended long ago, rging with the appearance of the Light Body Rune.

Using the "Basic Light Body Talisman" and casting the "Light Body Technique" himself were two different experiences. The "Basic Light Body Talisman" was like solidifying the spirit-infused Light Body Rune into the talisman. It only required a small amount of spiritual power to activate the "Basic Light Body Talisman."

Whereas casting the "Light Body Technique" required one to summon spiritual power to draw the Light Body Rune.

Activating the "Basic Light Body Talisman" could be done in a breath, while casting the "Light Body Technique" depended on the speed of drawing the Light Body Rune.

Li Shiming cast the "Light Body Technique" and when a blue glow appeared on his legs, he felt that he had used about one-tenth of his spiritual power.

It seed the spiritual power consumption of the "Light Body Technique" was still at an acceptable level, but the casting speed was too slow; it took over five seconds.

This was the first ti he truly cast the "Light Body Technique" in its entirety. He had intentionally slowed down the casting process, believing that with more practice, the speed of casting the "Light Body Technique" could be reduced to within two seconds or even faster.

He exerted force on his feet, dashing towards the mountain's peak.

During the dash, he sensed the difference in speed. The speed augnted by the "Basic Light Body Talisman" was approximately one hundred kiloters per hour.

While casting the "Light Body Technique" himself allowed his speed to reach one hundred twenty kiloters per hour, an increase of twenty percent, which was very important in a chase.

"Why is it so?" he wondered aloud as he stood on the mountain peak.

His cultivation was only at the Qi Refining Second Level. The speed increase from the "Basic Light Body Talisman" might be related to cultivation level, but his strength had not changed since he last used the "Basic Light Body Talisman" just a few days ago.

"Could it be an issue of intent?" he asked himself.

He could be sure that his intent in casting the "Light Body Technique" was different from other cultivators.

Because the intent of the "Light Body Technique" for him was being in a speeding convertible, with the IBMz15 making him feel as if he was really there, causing a response in the "Light Body Technique."

This world did not have convertibles. Such intent could not possibly exist here.

"Could it be that there are many possibilities for the intent to combine with the spell?" he questioned again.

The things he pondered should be sothing he would find answers to after joining a sect or having a master.

However, with the help of the IBMz15, he could simulate countless scenarios which, through the five senses, made it possible for him to imrse himself in them.

These scenarios could be video images existing in the data bank or scenes from movies or cartoons, and even scenes designed with the imagination using the IBMz15.

The unreal feeling from images or animation, with the powerful computing power of the IBMz15, forced them to be rendered into scenes close to reality through the use of 190 CPUs.

Li Shiming brought up a scenario of galloping horses, a scene from a top-tier horse race.

With the perception of a knight, he experienced the sensation of racing with the fastest horse from his past life.

At the sa ti, the Light Body Rune ford by the collection of spiritual power on his fingers responded. As long as he rged the newly comprehended intent with the Light Body Rune, he could cast the "Light Body Technique."

Without hesitation, the new "Light Body Technique" was cast, with a new blue glow replacing the original one on his legs.

He sprinted down the mountain, and soon he realized that this ti the consumption of spiritual power was no different, but his speed had decreased significantly, almost similar to the speed when using the "Basic Light Body Talisman" earlier.

Perhaps this intent was the correct intent for this world's "Light Body Technique," while the intent of the convertible was an anomaly.

Having experinted with the "Light Body Technique," he still had three-fourths of his spiritual power left and could continue experinting with other spells.

Next was to experint with the "Fire Bomb Skill." The intent for this was simple, as sensing the corresponding intent just required imrsing himself in any explosive scene.

As the intent rged with the Fire Bomb Rune, a small fireball was released.

Li Shiming felt that he should be able to slightly adjust the direction of the fireball, yet he felt sowhat hesitant.

It seed quite possible that his low level, being only at Qi Refining Second Level, could not control the "Fire Bomb Skill."

The small fireball flew more than thirty ters and hit a tree trunk. The fireball exploded upon contact with the tree trunk, splitting the trunk, as thick as a bowl, into two halves.

"Isn't this just a grenade?" Li Shiming observed the power of the "Fire Bomb Skill" and couldn't help but make a comparison.

When he approached the broken trunk, he saw red spiritual power burning towards the lower part of the tree trunk.

It seed that the "Fire Bomb Skill" was not only powerful in its explosion but also caused continuous damage after hitting the target.

Compared to the "Gold tal Technique," the "Fire Bomb Skill" was more powerful with a larger attack range.

The "Gold tal Technique" hit targets leaving a small hole, while the "Fire Bomb Skill" exploded on impact, affecting a small area.

Also, the consumption of spiritual power was about one-tenth for the "Fire Bomb Skill" as well. He had a suspicion that this consumption of spiritual power was likely related to his spirit root seeds.

However, since he could not confirm his own spirit root seeds, this suspicion could only remain a guess.

Having completed the day's tasks, he turned towards the Central Capital, supported by the "Light Body Technique" on his legs.

anwhile, during his sprint, a Copper Coin floated above his palm.

This was the "Expelling Talisman"; among all the mastered spells, learning the "Expelling Talisman" had faced no difficulties like other spells.

The intent for the "Expelling Talisman" was easy to rge; one only needed to imagine an invisible hand to generate a response with the Expelling Rune.

However, the "Expelling Talisman" was the most useless spell, at least for now.

The "Expelling Talisman" could only move objects weighing about ten kilograms. This weight couldn't even move a Lower Grade Long Sword Magical Artifact; it could only serve as an extended pair of hands, convenient for taking small objects within a five-ter radius without moving.

Luckily, casting the "Expelling Talisman" lasted a long ti. Aside from the spiritual power consud during the casting, maintaining the state of expelling depended on the size of the object and the frequency of moving the object.

With these few spells, Li Shiming felt he could finally consider himself a true cultivator.
