Spirit Stone Mine
Three days later, No. 01 finally completed the optimization of Liang Shi's cultivation Cultivation Method.
Yi Xuan stared intently at the large screen on the wall, carefully examining the results of the optimization over the past three days. The results were quite impressive; not only had the densely packed red areas in the 3D human body image on the left decreased, but the red areas had also diminished.
Moreover, according to No. 01's calculations, this improved Cultivation Method now allows Liang Shi to complete each cycle of Qi in just half an hour, and the increase in True Qi within his body during each cycle has also increased to one percent.
Based on this calculation, the operating speed has doubled, and the increase in True Qi has increased tenfold, which adds up to a twentyfold increase in Liang Shi's cultivation speed.
If others in the Cultivation Realm knew about this, they would be so shocked they wouldn't be able to speak.
Even in the Cultivation Realm, where the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is most abundant, it is impossible to increase the cultivation speed of cultivators to such an exaggerated degree.
Liang Shi, who was standing next to Yi Xuan, was also stunned by the data. He stammered as he looked at Yi Xuan, "Master, does that mean that if I had been able to cultivate according to this improved Cultivation Method, I could have broken through to the Qi Refining Realm Second Layer in less than half a month?"
Although he didn't want to discourage his disciple, the facts were undeniable. Yi Xuan could only nod, patting Liang Shi on the shoulder and saying, "It's not too late to have a new Cultivation Method now! How about this, I'll have No. 01 run the optimized Cultivation Method again. If there are no problems, you can start cultivating using this Cultivation Method from now on!"
Liang Shi was naturally very willing, and even wanted Yi Xuan to stop running on No. 01 and just cultivate directly himself.
Unfortunately Yi Xuan absolutely refused. After all, this wasn't a technological product, but rather an improvement to cultivation Cultivation Method using technological means. It was better to be cautious about the specific effects.
Yi Xuan didn't want to lose his only apprentice because of his negligence.
The operation of No. 01 ended quickly.
After seeing that there were no problems with the results, Yi Xuan nodded to Liang Shi.
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the wall beside them, and a mechanical arm emerged from it, with a Jade Slip resting on its surface.
Liang Shi knew that the Jade Slip contained the optimized Cultivation Method.
Using his Divine Sense to probe inside, Liang Shi discovered that the improved Cultivation Method seemed simpler than the original, especially in terms of the Cultivation Method's operational path, which was previously convoluted and winding within his body.
The current Cultivation Method operates more like a circular route, completely abandoning some of the previous branching paths.
Soon, Liang Shi had completely mastered the new Cultivation Method. He nodded to his master and sat down to begin his first practice of the new Cultivation Method.
Seeing that Liang Shi had entered a meditative state, Yi Xuan did not keep a close watch on him. He simply instructed No. 01 to monitor Liang Shi's condition in real time and to notify him if there were any problems.
After that, Yi Xuan started other work.
Liang Shi had never felt that cultivation could be so smooth. He circulated the new Cultivation Method for ten cycles before slowly stopping.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself still in the same room, but Yi Xuan had disappeared.
"No. 01!"
"What's wrong, Disciple No. 1?"
Liang Shi was almost immune to this form of address, but he frowned and continued to ask, "Where did Master go?"
"The boss went to the Second Base; there's a problem with the construction there!"
After hearing what No. 01 said, Liang Shi nodded and quickly walked to the door on one side of the main hall of the First Base.
Sensing that it was Liang Shi, the gate opened quickly, and then a train appeared in front of Liang Shi.
Liang Shi boarded the train and headed to where Yi Xuan was.
That's right. In the past six months, Yi Xuan has not only built a larger base, No. 1 Base, beneath the original secret room.
With the idea of having multiple burrows, they have recently begun construction of Second Base in a place far away from the Azure Cloud Sect.
The train standing beneath Liang Shi's feet was specially built by Yi Xuan for the construction of the Second Base.
An hour later, the train slowly came to a stop.
After getting off the car Liang Shi arrived at an underground space that was being developed. This space was currently filled with all kinds of construction machinery, including a tunnel boring machine, which Liang Shi had only recently come to know about.
Aside from the engineering machinery, the most abundant items in this space are Nüwa Robot, but not the kind we saw in the First Base. They are six-legged robots, which are exceptionally agile in engineering environments.
Yi Xuan was standing in the center of this huge, newly developed space, lost in thought.
"Master! What's wrong?" Liang Shi asked, coming up behind Yi Xuan.
Interrupted by Liang Shi, Yi Xuan turned around and realized it was Liang Shi, so he asked, "How is it? How's the cultivation going?"
Upon hearing his master's question, Liang Shi immediately smiled and said happily, "Master! The effect is excellent! At this rate, I might be able to break through to the Qi Refining Realm Third Layer in just a few days!"
Yi Xuan nodded without saying anything.
Seeing that his master seemed distracted, Liang Shi asked, "Master! Have you encountered any difficulties?"
Yi Xuan shook his head. "It's not that difficult! Look at this!"
After saying that, he ordered a six-legged robot to come over, and the robot came to Yi Xuan's side to wait for the instructions.
"Dig down!"
Upon receiving Yi Xuan's order, the robot did not hesitate at all; the small drill mounted on its arm aimed at the ground and began to work.
A minute later, as the drilling stopped, it was revealed that the six-legged robot had a shiny object clipped to its other arm.
"Spirit Stone?" Liang Shi said, somewhat incredulously.
Unexpectedly, his master had discovered a Spirit Stone mine, which was no small matter in the Cultivation Realm.
It's important to know that Spirit Stone mines are the only source of Spirit Stone in the Cultivation Realm and have always been controlled by various cultivation sects. Now that Yi Xuan has discovered an unclaimed Spirit Stone mine, if other sects were to find it, they might directly come to kill people and seize the mine.
Even Liang Shi thought that if the Azure Cloud Sect knew this news, they would take action against him and his master.
"Master, this is a huge problem!"
"This is indeed a big problem!" Yi Xuan nodded and said, "This is seriously affecting the project's progress, and it seems that No. 2 Base will have to be relocated!"
Liang Shi was puzzled by Yi Xuan's words. "Master? Aren't you worried that someone will discover the Spirit Stone mine? If it gets discovered, then we'll be in trouble!"
Yi Xuan glanced at his disciple and said, "Others? Is my own Spirit Stone mine next to theirs? They want to cause me trouble?"
Liang Shi looked at his master speechlessly. "Alright! It seems all my worries were unnecessary. This mine was already owned by the Yi family when Master discovered it!"
Liang Shi knew that his master was not the kind of person who would risk his life for money. Since he had said so, he must have some foolproof way to keep this Spirit Stone mine.
