Cultivation is just so scientific!-Chapter 255 - 174 Profit
Chapter 255: Chapter 174 Profit
“I should cultivate here for a while; the ideal outcome would be for me to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage,” Li Shiming thought to himself.
The unexpected acquisition of the Wei family’s residence, protected by such a powerful formation, gave him the idea to stay and cultivate.
If he were to join the Thousand Illusion Sect, he would have to go there first. Given the current circumstances, passing through the Ten Thousand Great Mountains would be extremely troublesome.
If he became a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he might have some self-preservation abilities along the way.
Besides, he had already reached the Qi Refining Ninth Level. If it weren’t for the Beishu Mingxin Sect’s invasion, he might have already applied for a cultivation room in the Sky Sea Sect.
Just like Yin Shilan, he could have cultivated in a cultivation room for several months before attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The allure of the Foundation Establishment Stage for Qi Refining Cultivators was immense, and it was no different for Li Shiming.
The lifespan of a Qi Refining Cultivator was one hundred and fifty years, whereas a Foundation Establishment Cultivator had a lifespan of two hundred years. In terms of life form, Foundation Establishment Cultivators were more advanced than Qi Refining Cultivators and represented the necessary path to the Golden Core.
Why had Li Shiming forsaken a life of worldly glory and riches to pursue the path of cultivation? It was the hope for a prolonged, superior life. Having transmigrated only once, he ought to have some different dreams.
He called out the main spirit of the ‘Spirit Control Soul Splitting Technique,’ split it into ten soul fragments, and sent them flying toward the mountain peaks next to the valley, taking high positions to monitor the surroundings.
As for the Tie Clan cultivators attacking the formation in the valley, he didn’t bother with them.
Because there was no need to bother. Now that he was in control of the formation, if he, a High-level Array Master, with such favorable conditions, still allowed Foundation Establishment Cultivators to breach it, he would truly disgrace his knowledge of formations.
The only thing he worried about were formidable Golden Core cultivators. Releasing the soul fragments was a precaution against the slim possibility of such a threat.
Now he finally had the chance to look over this cave dwelling. The dwelling was not luxurious but was extremely well-crafted, showing great care was taken during its construction.
He was in the main hall, and the top-grade spirit veins were also located here, which was quite special.
Because in most cave dwellings, spirit veins are channeled into the cultivation room instead of being placed in the center of the main hall.
The dwelling had three more rooms. His spiritual thought reached out and saw the contents of the first room.
The room had wooden racks with jade boxes placed on them, and there was writing on the racks corresponding to a description of each jade box.
Li Shiming found more than fifty types of spiritual medicines, all of them second-grade and necessary for the elixirs of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
There seemed to be many jade boxes, but in reality, there were not very many, as concocting one type of elixir required a dozen or so types of spiritual medicines. The variety and quantity of the medicines were just enough for a few batches of elixirs.
He had no knowledge of alchemy, so after a sweep of his spiritual thought, he collected all the jade boxes without opening them to inspect each one.
The second room was a library. In it, he found all the books that were sold in the outside markets, but here they were preserved in jade scrolls.
Additionally, there was one cultivation technique that could be practiced up to the Golden Core Stage, three secret techniques for attack, a manual for alchemy, and a manual for talisman making.

“How come there are no jade scrolls for formations?” Li Shiming muttered, slightly disappointed.
To be honest, he was quite shocked. The Wei’s Immortal Family, just an ordinary cultivation family, possessed a Golden Core Stage cultivation technique—something that on Sky Sea Island only the seven great sects held.
Of course, he wasn’t interested in this cultivation technique; he had better ones.
There was no time to study them now. He’d have to scan these jade scrolls into the IBMz15 later when he had more time.
With another sweep of spiritual thought, he cleared out the Wei family’s library as well.
The third room contained spirit stones. Li Shiming used his spiritual thought to collect them without hesitation—not quite two hundred thousand spirit stones, which didn’t excite him much.
Li Shiming shook his head. He didn’t know if this was the warehouse of the Wei family or that of an early-stage Foundation Establishment elderly cultivator. If it was the Wei family’s warehouse, then the Wei family’s wealth seemed a little meager.
Little did he know, the Wei’s Immortal Family needed to support several Foundation Establishment Cultivators in their cultivation, and the expenses were significant. Being able to save some spirit stones was already quite commendable.
The library he didn’t value much was the fruit of the Wei family’s generations of collection.
The second-grade spiritual medicines had been collected in the past year, and once they reached a certain amount, they would be used to concoct elixirs for the family’s Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
As for other spiritual objects, they were all held by the various Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the family; they weren’t things to be left in a warehouse gathering dust.
Li Shiming took the storage bag of the early-stage Foundation Establishment elderly cultivator. There were no spirit stones in the bag, nor were there many spiritual objects.
Other than a self-defense spiritual artifact previously known as the ‘Red Copper Fire Refining Bell,’ the elderly cultivator also owned an offensive spiritual artifact dubbed the ‘Red Copper Heaven and Earth Stick.’
What Li Shiming did not know was that this elderly cultivator was the most senior and respected within the Wei family and was also a Talisman Maker capable of crafting Foundation Establishment Talismans. Naturally, his personal wealth was the richest in the clan.
As he aged, he had passed on the majority of his assets to the clan, leaving behind just two spiritual artifacts for offense and defense.
Even these two artifacts would be inherited by a clan cultivator after his demise.
Besides these, the storage bag contained a talisman pen whose brilliance far surpassed any that Li Shiming had used in the past.
There was also an ordinary jade scroll, which he placed on his forehead. It contained a legacy of talisman making, the personal heritage of the early-stage Foundation Establishment elderly cultivator.
