Chapter 395: Chapter 244 Inventory
Li Shiming’s main body and his clone Li Yuanba were attacked almost concurrently. As Yuanba finished his battle and found a place to rest and take stock of his spoils, on the other side, Shiming was also resting, checking through his gains.
The greatest loot for Shiming this ti was probably a flying sword treasure. Had Elder Zhao not arrived in ti, such benefits might have been lost.
Elder Zhao was a sword cultivator. Although Shiming did not primarily practice sword cultivation techniques, he possessed Sword Intent and often employed sword cultivator thods to confront his foes, displaying Sword Intent far surpassing that of ordinary sword cultivators. Furthermore, Elder Zhao and Elder Su were from the sa faction within the sect.
As a result, Elder Zhao seized the flying sword treasure from Hang Jian and gifted it to Shiming, a show of affection and expectation from a senior to a junior.
Elder Zhao believed strongly that Shiming was destined to reach the Golden Core Stage. Of course, this view was shared by many cultivators who knew the details of Shiming’s background.
Regardless, the Shushan Sect intended to promote Shiming, who had the potential of an alchemy master, to the Golden Core Realm. Of course, this would also rely on Shiming’s luck being strong enough to break through the barrier to the Golden Core under the circumstances of resource availability.
Shiming took Elder Zhao’s act of kindness to heart—it was a debt he would need to repay in the future.
He took out Ji Hongbo’s storage bracelet and let his Divine Thought enter it.
Ji Hongbo was a True Disciple of the Shushan Sect, and since he had not perished, there were restrictions in place on the storage bracelet.
However, even if Ji Hongbo had retained his original strength and remained a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, the restraints on the storage bracelet would still be unable to ward off the penetration of Shiming’s Divine Thought.
There were many items in the storage bracelet, but few caught Shiming’s eye.
Spiritual Artifacts, Cultivation Technique Jade Scrolls, and the like—he could obtain them easily if he wanted to.
There were roughly five and a half million Spirit Stones, so in the form of Beishu Trading Company storage jade cards, with the rest being actual Spirit Stones.
The Spiritual Wine and Spirit Food, however, were of very high quality, and there was even a box of Spiritual Tea, which was a third-grade item, making it the most surprising find inside the storage bracelet for Shiming.
Just as his Divine Thought scanned through the storage bracelet and he was about to retract it, it suddenly paused.
In the area where the Spirit Pills were stored, his Divine Thought enveloped a jade bottle and extracted it.
If it weren’t for sothing unusual about this jade bottle, Shiming might have almost overlooked it.
This was a specialized jade bottle used by the Shushan Sect to store Spirit Pills, but it was different from the regular bottles.
What made it peculiar to Shiming was that such a bottle was rarely found in the hands of Foundation Establishnt Cultivators; rather, it was used by Golden Core cultivators to store important Spirit Pills.
The craftsmanship of the jade bottle was exceedingly complex and was made with great care by high-level Artifact Refiners.
He opened the jade bottle, and a refreshing dicinal scent wafted into his nostrils.
His expression changed slightly, and he quickly sealed the bottle again.
“Heavenly Fragrance Enlightennt Spirit Pill!” he exclaid softly.
Shiming, inheritor of the ‘Shushan Pill Scripture,’ naturally recognized the pills of the Shushan Sect.
The ‘Heavenly Fragrance Enlightennt Spirit Pill’ was a third-grade Spirit Pill, but its value exceeded that of typical third-grade Spirit Pills.
This was like comparing first-grade Cultivation Assistance Spirit Pills used during the Qi Refinent Realm with first-grade Foundation Establishnt Pills. The value of the two differed like heaven and earth.
The ‘Heavenly Fragrance Enlightennt Spirit Pill’ was used by Golden Core cultivators to break through barriers, enabling them to pre-emptively comprehend the essence of the next realm, thus increasing their chances of a successful breakthrough.
Of course, while the ‘Heavenly Fragrance Enlightennt Spirit Pill’ was effective for advancing from the Foundation Establishnt to the Golden Core Realm, it was not included in the resources for forming a core.
This was because the ‘Heavenly Fragrance Enlightennt Spirit Pill’ was made from several types of third-grade spiritual dicines, an extrely precious resource even among Golden Core cultivators, and thus not sothing a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator would typically consu.
Given the choice between advancing a new Golden Core cultivator and improving the realm of an existing one, most sects would opt for the latter.
The chances of the forr are slim. Even with the resources for core formation at a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator’s disposal, the probability of advancing to Golden Core would only increase by three to four tenths, while the ‘Heavenly Fragrance Enlightennt Spirit Pill’ has a real and substantial effect on the advancent of a Golden Core cultivator’s realm.
Even if the Golden Core cultivator fails to advance in realm on this occasion, the enlightennt gained will not vanish. With the experience from consuming the ‘Heavenly Fragrance Enlightennt Spirit Pill’ once, the accrued enlightennt will eventually serve as a boost for ascending.
The ‘Heavenly Fragrance Enlightennt Spirit Pill’ in Shiming’s hand could increase his chances of advancing to the Golden Core by more than two tenths, and coupled with core formation resources and the fact that he still possessed a Primordial Yang Body and the Pure Dao Body, he felt his chances of advancing to the Golden Core could exceed sixty percent.
But he was also aware of his weakness; within the Spirit Lake inside his body, the ‘Five Elents Qi Absorption Array’ he had tinkered with made his ascension to the Golden Core filled with uncertainties.
At the mont, he was not lacking in resources for core formation, either from the Shushan Sect or from his clone Li Yuanba. He could obtain what he needed for core formation.
Additionally, being an Alchemist himself, once he reached the late-stage of Foundation Establishnt, he was confident he could concoct third-grade Spirit Pills; then, he would be able to use the most effective core formation Spirit Pills.
What he lacked were two types of third-grade Five Elents Array Materials: third-grade Wood Elent Material and third-grade Water Material. Only with these two third-grade materials would he be able to upgrade the Five Elents Qi Absorption Array within his body to third-grade and then have a chance of breaking through the Foundation Establishnt.
“No need to rush this!” Shiming’s mind was clear. With his identity, even if he asked for help from his two masters, he could get his hands on the two kinds of third-grade materials.
