Cultivation is just Chapter 5 Chemistry

Li Shiming's consciousness returned to the machine room, and this ti he focused on the generator.

The generator's crank had beco superfluous, and under the operation of his mind, he took down the generator's crank along with two sets of gears.

With a crank and two sets of gears, converting a manual centrifuge was hardly a difficult task.

Particularly when he gathered planks and tools in the machine room, all the other necessary parts were easily crafted under his ntal operation.

The world's first centrifuge was created, and as he observed the centrifuge in front of him, a thought erged in his mind: if he could operate directly with his mind in the machine room, why bother creating this centrifuge?

In an instant, the joy of creating the world's first centrifuge vanished, and he began to reconsider his way of thinking.

In a two-hour period, various materials and case files had been delivered, and during that ti Si Qin had brought back a small box containing more than fifty Mother Hen Beads.

Li Shiming took a stove and a sand pot, and without asking for Si Qin's help, he began to brew according to the prescription shown by Chief Escort Wang.

What no one knew was that in his machine room, the processing of various materials had already begun.

For safety, he used wooden boards to partition off a separate space in a corner of the machine room.

Lest the chemical substances act upon the equipnt within the machine room.

Indeed, if manually handled, it would still be sowhat difficult to concoct specified chemicals using these raw materials through chemical ans.

But within the space of the machine room, with complete control, this task beca extrely simple.

Within the machine room space, he could sense substances at the microter level, as well as any changes occurring within the substances, making chemical experints extrely simple.

No experintal apparatus was needed, as his mind could serve as the container.

Phosphoric acid, sulphuric acid, nitric acid, ammonium sulphate, glycerine, Acacia Poison Protein, and nitroglycerine were all concocted by him, and more than fifty Mother Hen Beads were shelled and turned into a small amount of liquid Acacia Poison Protein.

Who would think that this small amount of liquid could bring many to their death, deed the world's deadliest substance.

One should know that this was not a naturally-ford poison but one that was scientifically purified, which in so ways should not exist in this world.

Then, several kilograms of nitroglycerine were concocted, sealed in airtight jars, and placed in the storage of the machine room.

Having completed these tasks, Li Shiming found that the dicine was still not ready, showing just how smoothly operations went when using his mind in the machine room space.

He considered his plans thoroughly, for he would not underestimate Chief Escort Wang.

In the process of concocting chemicals, Li Shiming realized the absence of a good stove; using wood as fuel in the machine room space did not achieve very high temperatures.

Although high temperatures were rarely needed in chemical experints, he thought further ahead.

For this, he gathered paper and a pen, drew several parts and so materials, and sent the servant Mo Yan to handle it.

The servant Mo Yan, who had received many rewards for his work, assured him chest-thumpingly that it would not take long to deliver the items after receiving the order.

Regarding Li Shiming suddenly purchasing these strange and unusual items and brewing dicine himself, including Si Qin and servant Mo Yan, no one asked too much.

While other young masters went out to indulge in food, drinks, and fun, their own young master purchased harmless items, which was considered gaining knowledge and hardly a serious matter, let alone one worth their comnt.

Li Shiming picked up the case files brought over by the servant Mo Yan, which outsiders perhaps could not access, but as the son of the Magistrate, when he issued commands, no one in the Nanling Governnt Office would refuse.

The case records are very detailed, describing the incident from multiple perspectives.

These include testimonies from the madam, the dancers, the servers, and the guests of Tianxiang Building, as well as the conclusions of the on-site investigation, clearly showing the professionalism of the records.

Tianxiang Building is a well-known brothel in Nanling Prefecture. On the day in question, the third floor was reserved by Weiyuan Escort Agency. Chief Escort Wang and seven other dart heads were gathered there.

A man in white suddenly appeared and killed the seven dart heads.

According to guests on the second floor, the third floor's multi-layered floors were shattered by a terrifying force, causing Chief Escort Wang to fall through the broken floor before escaping through a window.

The man in white emitted a blue glow from his legs before chasing after him.

Everyone on the second floor was unable to describe the man in white's face; it was as if his face was obscured by a layer of fog.

Moreover, the man in white carried a chilling aura with him, causing many who saw him to lose control of their bodily functions on the spot.

The final note in the records suggests that the man in white might be a cultivator.

Seeing the ntion of a cultivator in the records, Li Shiming felt as if he had traveled through ti again, surprised to find cultivators in this world, a detail not present in his original mories.

This could not be blad on his predecessor, who was only a fifteen-year-old scholar, devoted daily to the Four Books and Five Classics.

His predecessor had few friends, partly due to his dedication to his studies, seldom interacting with others, and also because of his age.

Normally, scholars in the sa city would often interact, discussing philosophy or indulging in leisurely pursuits together.

But how could a fifteen-year-old Li Shiming integrate into a group of adult scholars?

Among these scholars, even those in their twenties were rare, let alone ones close to Li Shiming's age.

This is not to say that Nanling Prefecture lacked young scholars, but rather that young scholars only appeared once every ten or so years, and Li Shiming's predecessors had long since reached their twenties.

His predecessor did not want to associate with those intent on making connections with the powerful, so naturally, he had few friends.

Having few friends and devoted solely to the Confucian classics had greatly narrowed his predecessor's range of knowledge, with most mories revolving around his studies.

Of course, Li Shiming felt sowhat fortunate about his predecessor's situation, as it ant he did not have to constantly be careful with his interactions to avoid slipping up.

"No wonder Chief Escort Wang is hiding in the governnt office, it turns out that a cultivator is after him!" thought Li Shiming to himself.

Chief Escort Wang being hunted by a cultivator indicated that he possessed sothing the cultivator wanted, sparking Li Shiming's interest.

If this world were ordinary, Li Shiming could use the power of the mont in this world to carve out a place for himself.

But if it were a cultivation world, then his plans would have to change.

Longevity and freedom between heaven and earth are the desires of life; he would attempt it, even if there was only a slight chance.

After Li Shiming had the dicine prepared, he instructed Si Qin to fetch a lunchbox and placed the cooked dicine in a big bowl inside the lunchbox.

"Si Qin, don't follow , I am going for a walk in the garden!" Li Shiming instructed as he picked up the lunchbox.

Under Si Qin's puzzled gaze, he left the courtyard.
