Chapter 295: Chapter 194: Success
Li Shiming did not hesitate in the slightest; he had full confidence in his body’s defensive power against high temperatures and believed that he wouldn’t be harmed, at least not in the short term.
To emit as little Spiritual Power fluctuations as possible, he didn’t even activate his defensive Spiritual Artifact and just charged into the cavern of the great bear.
Almost immediately, he set his sights on the Mu Yang Three-leaf Clover. A jade box appeared in his hand, a container specifically prepared to preserve high-quality Spiritual Medicine.
In his other hand appeared a jade-made shortsword, which was not a Magic Artifact but a harvesting tool given to him by Xu Chuan, specifically designed for collecting Mu Yang Three-leaf Clover.
The jade sword gently lifted the roots of the Mu Yang Three-leaf Clover which immediately detached from the rock upon the touch of the jade sword and fell into the jade box.
Although the Mu Yang Three-leaf Clover was not completely mature, Xu Chuan mentioned that the Shushan Sect had methods to hasten the maturation of the clover, so it was not necessary to wait for it to fully mature before harvesting this Spiritual Medicine.
...
Of course, if the Mu Yang Three-leaf Clover were still a long way from maturation, hurrying the process would not ensure that the Third-grade Spiritual Medicine matured.
The advantage of this method was that there was no need to wait for the precise moment of harvest, which reduced the difficulty of collecting it.
After securing the Mu Yang Three-leaf Clover, Li Shiming’s attention turned to a small flame on the red stone.
When he had observed the flames surrounding the red stone through the drone’s camera earlier, he hadn’t felt anything special about them.

But at close range, he could feel that this small flame was entirely different from the others because it was full of spiritual nature; it was definitely some kind of Spiritual Object.
He didn’t have time to linger, so he used his Spiritual Thought to sweep over the flame, attempting to collect it.
However, the moment his Spiritual Thought touched the small flame, the flame entered his body at an indescribable speed, or rather, it teleported via his Spiritual Thought.
He was startled, but there was no time to consider it further; he heard the distant howling of the great bear and saw through surveillance footage that the bear had noticed the disturbance in its den.
Li Shiming stored the jade box in the storage space and leaped from the cavern, at the same time tossing an oversized bomb into it.
His body turned into a sword light rushing towards the ground and, in an instant, ‘starlife’ fireproof material completely enveloped him; in the time it took for a breath, he was half a meter under the ground.
With a ‘boom,’ the explosion shattered the bear’s den, sending numerous rocks flying.
Following the rocks was magma, which seemed to have been sealed beneath by the huge stones. For some reason, there was a crack connecting to the underground magma layer, creating an environment for the growth of the Mu Yang Three-leaf Clover.
By blowing up the rocks that sealed the crack, Li Shiming caused a minor volcanic eruption at that spot.
The magma spewed out, quickly turning the den and the surrounding area into a sea of fire.
The great bear was incredibly fast; although the explosion chased it away for a while, it returned in just two breaths after sensing the anomaly in its den.
Seeing its den destroyed, the bear’s eyes immediately turned red with rage.
Its Third Grade Mu Yang Three-leaf Clover and Red Sun Spirit Fire had vanished.
Just then, it sensed a ripple of Spiritual Energy swiftly retreating into the distance. Without the slightest hesitation, its figure flashed as it gave chase.
It figured that whoever was present at this time had to be the thief who stole its treasures.
On a peak to the left, a small rocket covered in Array Formation Patterns ignited automatically as the countdown reached its end.
This small rocket was an experimental model that Li Shiming created while designing a larger rocket. Given its size, it could neither carry people nor carry much ammunition and was entirely experimental and pointless.
However, this small rocket was extremely useful for drawing the great bear’s attention. Li Shiming had set its navigation to point toward the lake inhabited by the Four Clawed Flood Dragon Demon.
He didn’t know whether the small rocket could fly that far, considering the number of powerful spirit beasts it might encounter along the way.
The small rocket was undoubtedly very fast; the moment it ignited, it reached its maximum speed due to its own weight.
Though small, the rocket’s engine was scaled down to the same proportion, and the fuel used was the rocket’s liquid hydrogen.
Due to the small amount of material needed for the small rocket, he used spiritual materials for the entirety of the rocket, making it equivalent to a Low Grade Magical Artifact, custom-ordered from the Hidden Dragon Trading House during his time at the Sky Sea Sect.
As the small rocket ignited, its Formation emitted a ripple of Spiritual Energy that was weak but glaringly obvious to the rage-blinded, near-Great Demon bear.
The great bear turned into a red blur, pursuing the small rocket.
After monitoring the bear’s departure from the area, Li Shiming emerged from the ground.
He was now enveloped in a layer of black; the outer layer of ‘starlife’ fireproof material had been carbonized, though the temperature inside was still bearable.
Probably not even the great bear had anticipated that there was any creature which could hide under the magma right beneath its eyes.
Even spirit beasts with an affinity for fire would have to use their Spiritual Energy to ensure they were not scorched by the magma.
And the extreme temperature of the magma had covered up the carefully concealed aura of Li Shiming.
After all, the great bear was not yet a true Great Demon, and its ability to judge was impaired by its rage.
