Still retracing his original path, Li Shiming carefully avoided pedestrians with the help of drones in the sky.
Most residents of Central Capital were just waking up, and there weren't many pedestrians on the streets.
He chose a more secluded route and by the ti he got ho, it was already seven in the morning.
"Young Master, when did you get up?" he didn't alarm the guards, but upon entering the main house, he was t by Si Qin's bright eyes.
Thinking about it, Si Qin would have already been up preparing his washing items around this ti.
"I got up early today and moved around in the courtyard for a bit," Li Shiming said, having changed back into his usual clothes after entering the city, and he waved his hands in response.
Si Qin didn't think much of it and briskly went to make the preparations.
Li Shiming felt Si Qin's happiness, and the impact of last night's killings gradually faded from his mind, a smile appearing on his face as well.
After washing up, he went to his study.
Everyone in the courtyard knew he was preparing for the big examination, so they were all very quiet; whoever was doing whatever, they made sure to stay away from the study to provide him with the optimum reading environnt.
Li Shiming placed the three storage bags in front of him, knowing that the troubles with the Hao Family had finally ended with them in his possession.
He didn't wish for it to be so, but the Hao Family had to be eliminated for him to have peace.
The mont the Hao Family sent Cultivators to assassinate him, a life-and-death struggle between them was set in motion.
Two of the storage bags were the sa model, while the third was slightly different.
He first opened one of the identical storage bags, just like the ones he'd obtained from the Cultivators of the Hao Family previously - inside were a low-grade long sword magical artifact, over a hundred Spirit Stones, and several dozen various talismans.
Feeling a bit disappointed, he opened the second identical storage bag and found a talisman pen and so talismanic ink in addition to the other items, suggesting that the owner of this storage bag was most likely a Talisman Maker.
He then turned his attention to the final storage bag, the one he placed most of his hopes in.
This storage bag probably belonged to that sixth-level Qi Refinent realm elder of the Hao Family who was also the clan leader.
Indeed, as the Spiritual Power Pattern entered the storage bag, he imdiately noticed the difference with this one.
All the storage bags he had acquired before had a single cubic space, but this one at hand boasted a whole five cubic spaces.
Various items filled more than half of the five cubic spaces.
There was a Mid-grade Long Sword Artifact and a Mid-grade Shield Artifact, likely the personal magic artifacts of the Hao Family elder; both artifacts were of mid-grade quality, which was extrely rare among Loose Cultivators.
Five porcelain bottles contained ten Elixir Pills each, but sadly Li Shiming still didn't know the purpose of these pills.
There were five wooden large boxes, filled with talisman paper when opened - a stack of a hundred sheets, and with a hundred stacks in one box, this amounted to fifty thousand sheets of talisman paper.
The Hao Family was known for selling talisman paper; these must have been their stock.
There were ten cloth bags which Loose Cultivators favored for holding Spirit Stones; indeed, each bag contained a hundred Spirit Stones, totaling a thousand Spirit Stones here.
Opening the five jade boxes, he saw they contained Spiritual dicine pulsing with Spiritual Energy.
The jade boxes were inscribed with special runes that preserved the Spirit dicine's Spiritual Energy from dissipating.
Spiritual dicine was sothing Li Shiming encountered for the first ti. He only knew that it could be used for Alchemy, but nothing beyond that.
Lastly, there were so books. In addition to Spells he had already learned, he found spell books like "Fireball Technique," "Rejuvenation Technique," "Invisibility Technique," "Earth Armor Skill," and "Ice Arrow Skill."
He casually flipped open a copy of "Fireball Technique" to find detailed content on how to perform the Fireball Technique, including a section that described its true anings.
The description of the true anings in the Fireball Technique wasn't as clear as he had imagined. Instead, it was expressed in extrely arcane language illustrating the intended mood or vibe.
Li Shiming didn't know about other Cultivators, but reading this description of the true anings only left him puzzled.
He couldn't understand why sothing that could be very simple had to be made so complicated, greatly increasing the difficulty of learning Spells.
In reality, he still hadn't delved deep into this world. To any Cultivator, true anings were always enigmatic, and those who comprehended them would naturally infuse their own imagination and emotions when describing them.
This way, generation after generation, the Cultivation World ford a standardized concept.
But Li Shiming was special. The first ti he learned a Spell, there was no description of true anings in the spell book. His understanding of true anings was achieved entirely through virtual simulations on the IBMz15, realized through substituting his five senses.
Even if he used plain language to describe the true anings, other Cultivators couldn't feel what he felt.
Unless he could transmit the true anings simulated by the IBMz15 into the five senses of other Cultivators, they wouldn't comprehend the true anings as easily as he did.
After setting aside the Spellbooks, he picked up another book, "Chang Chun Gong."
This was a Qi Refinent Realm Cultivation Technique designed for those with a Wood Spirit Root.
After reading through Chang Chun Gong, and comparing it with his own "Five Elents Qi Absorption Technique," he felt Chang Chun Gong seed too simplistic.
This was just his opinion. With his level of knowledge, he couldn't be sure whether this feeling was correct.
The last book was "Hao's Talisman Inheritance," a talisman inheritance of the Hao Family.
After reading "Hao's Talisman Inheritance," he finally understood what that spirit bamboo root was.
It was a type of Spirit Bamboo known as 'Spirit Bamboo.' The Hao Family's inheritance relied on 'Spirit Bamboo.'
Besides the bamboo shoots, which were Spirit Food, the bamboo itself didn't have much use. In contrast, the bamboo leaves were naturally the raw material for talisman paper.
"Hao's Talisman Inheritance" contained the Hao Family's unique thods of converting 'Spirit Bamboo' leaves into talisman paper, with an average of two leaves needed to make one piece of talisman paper.
With 'Spirit Bamboo,' the Hao Family could not only sell talisman paper but also use it to train their own Talisman Makers.
"Hao's Talisman Inheritance" recorded more knowledge about talisman crafting than the "Complete Compendium of Runes" and the notes of the Hao Family Cultivator he had obtained before. He also figured out how the Hao Family Cultivator who had tried to assassinate him beca invisible.
There were two ways: one was to practice the 'Invisibility Technique' to beco invisible in front of ordinary people; the other was to create an 'Invisibility Talisman' with the technique, enabling Cultivators to beco invisible.
He stored the frequently used items into five cubic storage bags and hung them around his waist. From now on, these would be his regular storage bags.
Since he could always store the storage bags in the machine room space and even secretly switch them without worrying about anyone realizing that a minor Qi Refining Second Level Cultivator like him was using the precious five cubic storage bags.
The rest of the six storage bags were all placed into the machine room space to be used for storing materials.
The gains of this occasion also included 'Spirit Bamboo' and the spirit soil needed to cultivate 'Spirit Bamboo.' There was a little over one cubic ter of spirit soil, taking up one and a half storage bags all by itself.
