"Uh, that's not it either."
"After all, Junior Brother Lu, you still need to cultivate."
"Generally, the inner cave abode of the four peaks can only cultivate a little over three or four acres at most."
"Any more, and there won't be enough Spiritual Qi for cultivation, plus it'll be troublesome to take care of."
"The others were all assigned tasks for outer sect disciples to handle."
Wu Changgeng explained.
Lu Li, however, sensed something amiss.
"Hey, Master Wu, isn't it said that Qi Refinement disciples are forbidden from entering the inner sect?"
"Oh, normally it's not allowed, but you can come in once you accept a task, and leave after you finish it."
"I see," Lu Li nodded, already understanding.
This is a good rule. He can directly assign the task to Changming and Changye, thus completing a two-person task while also managing the spirit field.
He can even find time to teach his two apprentices; how wonderful!
"Well, Junior Brother Lu, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
"Don't forget to pay your respects to the Peak Master tomorrow."
"Oh, and there's no need to call me Master Wu. We're both inner disciple now, so just call me Senior Brother."
"Very well, in that case, I'll respectfully see you off, Senior Brother."
Lu Li didn't dwell on these trivial matters.
After seeing Wu Changgeng off, we looked back at the brand-new cave abode.
Feeling the Spiritual Power inside the cave abode, which was several times more abundant than outside, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, a look of satisfaction on his face.
The benefits of advancing to the inner sect immediately become apparent.
Not only is the Spiritual Qi abundant, but there are also spiritual fields available.
Planting spirit rice, or spirit medicine herbs and fruits, is not a problem.
He then carefully examined the acre of spiritual field left by his predecessors in front of him.
Despite being unattended, the quality of this spiritual field remains excellent.
It appeared even more vibrant with spiritual energy than the soil nourished by the Great Xia Spirit Soil.
After observing for a moment, Lu Li reached out towards the soil of the spirit field.
The Spiritual Power within the body was slightly mobilized.
"Buzz~!"
The next second.
A handful of spiritual soil disappeared into his palm.
Meanwhile, at the Bureau 749's valley base, in the command hall...
Suddenly, a handful of black soil appeared on the metal platform!
"Hmm? This is... something Comrade Lu Li sent back from you?"
A researcher on duty, holding a communication device, spoke with surprise.
Lu Li activated his Divine Sense and sent his voice through the jade pendant, providing an answer.
"That's right, this is spirit field soil, but without the nourishment of Spirit Vein, its effectiveness will immediately decrease."
"It'll probably turn into ordinary soil with a slightly higher spiritual energy level soon."
Refining a jade pendant into Life-Bound Law Artifact is indeed very useful.
He can send messages anytime, anywhere, with just a thought, which is much more convenient than before.
"The inner sect's cave abode is rich in Spiritual Qi and is situated on a major branch of a third-tier Spirit Vein."
"Although the soil from these spiritual fields is largely useless without the Spirit Vein, it still offers some benefit to Blue Star."
" The Auspicious Grain No. 1, which is cultivated by the state, can be perfectly cultured using this."
"Most importantly... there's no limit to the quantity of these things!"
His eyes flashed, and a sharp glint appeared in Lu Li's eyes.
He stood up and looked around at the spacious cave abode in front of him, which was easily over a hundred square meters in size.
At the foot of the cave abode dwelling lies the mountain, and beneath the mountain lies Spirit Vein.
In other words, if he is willing, he can send back an acre of soil rich in spiritual energy after cultivating a acre of spiritual field.
Well, they've already time-traveled, yet they still live in a 100-square-meter apartment; that's a bit stingy.
We should at least dig out an underground palace first.
Of course, protective measures must be in place beforehand.
Thoughts raced through his mind, but Lu Li remained silent.
He raised his wrist and slightly mobilized his Spiritual Power.
The jade pendant inside the body was sensed.
The next second, a array plate covered with Formation Inscription and talismans, and equipped with several camera-like devices, appeared out of thin air in his hand.
"I always thought formations were mysterious, but I didn't realize how amazing they were with the addition of technology."
"The formation has become so magical..."
"The ultra-small long-range camera can monitor distances up to 50 kilometers, and even when disguised as a pinhole camera, it can clearly capture movements from 20 kilometers away."
"With the addition of Formation Inscription Artifact Inscription such as 'Concealment,' 'Hidden Aura,' and 'Turtle Sense,' ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators simply cannot sense that someone is spying on them."
"Preventing Foundation Establishment is no problem..."
Lu Li tossed the array plate in his hand and set it up inside the cave abode.
This is the latest Spirit Machinery array plate developed by the Great Xia. The original recording equipment is remade with spirit materials and engraved with various patterns.
The effect is far more powerful than a single formation.
The array plate even has an infrared sensing device that was reset using refining techniques.
The entire system can monitor any intrusion of any living organism within a radius of 20 kilometers.
Furthermore, there was a device resembling an exposed antenna.
That's for detecting soul-type creatures, made using bioelectricity, brainwaves, Soul Dao Artifact Inscription, and Secret Method.
As long as any spirit-like creature appears within a radius of tens of kilometers, it will immediately be reported to Lu Li through the Formation Inscription.
The array plate was placed at the entrance of the cave abode.
After confirming that everything was correct, Lu Li did not rush to cultivate.
He then pulled out a holographic projection player.
After Foundation Establishment, the Cultivation Method will naturally need to change.
He originally cultivated the Five Elements Instruction 3.0, which was comparable to a high level of comprehension.
However, the Five Elements Instruction Technique is ultimately only a first-tier spell.
When Foundation Establishment cultivators activate their internal energy, they often experience a feeling of emptiness and instability in their meridians.
This is clearly no longer sufficient.
"However, the Five Elements Instruction is most suitable for those with Five Spirit Roots."
"Second-tier Foundation Establishment Cultivation Method mostly rely on three or four Spirit Root, with few Cultivation Method using five elements. If one switches to cultivating other elements..."
"I'm finding it a bit difficult to adapt; my Spiritual Power and even my combat strength have definitely decreased."
Lost in thought, Lu Li had already opened the media player.
He wanted to investigate why, after optimizing the Five Elements Instruction to version 3.0, there had been no progress for a full five years.
Is this top-level Five Elements Instruction really that difficult to comprehend?
"Buzz~!"
"Buzz! Buzz!"
A pale blue projected light shone in front of him.
The Cultivation Method's operational route plays in a loop.
Lu Li didn't use his eyes to look; instead, he closed them.
Use your Divine Sense Divine Sense to observe it carefully.
Its Divine Sense is extremely profound, capable of perceiving minute details, surpassing even microscopic equipment.
His Divine Sense focused on the projection, and the image was reflected in his Sea of Consciousness.
A wisp of Divine Sense swept through the entire Five Elements Instruction Manual, revealing all the cultivation secrets.
A quick scan revealed nothing unusual.
After scanning twice, still no results were found.
After scanning it three times, I was deeply moved.
Four times... five times... six times...
Lu Li's Divine Sense swept across the projection of the Cultivation Method dozens of times.
finally!
He noticed something unusual on an inconspicuous branch of the meridian.
"Got it!"
"Here... if the flow of Spiritual Power can be shifted even slightly, three more acupoints can be connected!"
The moment this thought arose, it was as if a thunderclap exploded in my Sea of Consciousness.
That improvement was like a domino effect, instantly triggering a chain reaction.
The entire operational path of the Five Elements Instruction 3.0 Manual began to spontaneously disassemble and reorganize in his mind, and countless new possibilities surged forth.
The power of Divine Sense was on full display at this moment.
Lu Li suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with a sharp light.
His face showed astonishment. "I never expected that instead of 4.0, they would..."
"There's actually hope of advancing my Cultivation Method!"
