Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 472: Chapter 282: Meeting_2

His Divine Thought swept through the Space Ring, setting aside all the Spiritual Objects that were worth his attention.

Those Spirit Pills, seen by ordinary Cultivators as incredibly precious, were to him hardly worth mentioning.

“This time, Qianye Temple must be going insane!” Li Shiming murmured to himself.

At first glance, he saw a heart-shaped relic. From the fluctuations it emitted, he felt the same kind of fluctuations as the Jade Foot Relics.

This was a Divine Power Inheritance Relic. Although the Divine Power Inheritance Relics of Qianye Temple were not unique, and there must be other Divine Power Inheritance Relics, the value of each one was unimaginable.

The so-called Divine Power Inheritance Relics were made when great Buddhist practitioners of Qianye Temple cultivated their Divine Powers to a certain degree and, upon passing away, transformed their comprehension of the Divine Powers into an inheritance for preservation.

In the long history of Qianye Temple, the number of Buddhist practitioners with such abilities was also in the single digits.

Even Li Shiming could not be sure whether the heart-shaped relic’s Divine Power inheritance might be Qianye Temple’s only “Telepathy” inheritance.

Of course, just because Qianye Temple might lose the Telepathy relic inheritance, it didn’t mean that the Divine Power inheritance would really be cut off. It’s just that the relic inheritance method of the Buddhist practitioners made it easier for their descendants to learn the Buddhist Divine Powers.

If there were no Inheritance Relics, then the Buddhist Practitioners of Qianye Temple would have to, like other Cultivators, reach the Nascent Soul stage before they could start to grasp the Divine Skills from scratch based on their own understanding.

In this way, the advantage once established by Qianye Temple in the aspect of Divine Powers would be completely gone.

Li Shiming naturally did not care about Qianye Temple’s inheritance issues of Divine Powers. Upon discovering that the heart-shaped relic had the same fluctuations as the Jade Foot Relic, he immediately moved it into the mechanical space with a thought.

He knew very well that Qianye Temple had ways to track their Buddhist Inheritance Relics, and only by placing it in the mechanical space would it be truly safe.

Although he was extremely interested in the “Telepathy,” he had no intention of cultivating it right away.

Unlike the Divine Foot Skill, “Telepathy” involved the soul, making it many times more dangerous than Divine Foot Skill.

According to the information he had, “Telepathy” had never been practiced by Buddhist Practitioners at the Buddha Stage. The basic prerequisite for entering the training of “Telepathy” was set at the Arhat Realm, which is the Golden Core Stage.

Although Li Shiming was very proud of his own soul and spirit, he did not believe that he could surpass the Buddhist Practitioners who specialized in cultivating the soul and spirit, as they had a great advantage in this respect.

He no longer focused on the heart-shaped relic. He was currently at the peak of the Foundation Establishment and was just waiting to break through to the Golden Core Stage. He would not risk damaging his soul out of curiosity, thereby reducing the chances of forming the Golden Core.

After all, the “Telepathy” Inheritance Relic was in his hands, and he could cultivate it whenever he wanted.

However, thinking about the four inheritable Divine Powers of Qianye Temple, he already possessed two of the Divine Power inheritances and had mastered one of them.

He still had one opportunity to learn the Divine Eye Skill inheritance from Qianye Temple. Perhaps he could achieve the feat of collecting all four major Divine Power inheritances of Qianye Temple.

Li Shiming’s gaze returned to the Space Ring, and the second Spiritual Object he focused on was a Golden Hoop. This was a head ornament for Buddhist Practitioners, and one that was kept in a Space Ring by Zhi Xin Arhat would certainly not be an ordinary treasure.

He took out the Golden Hoop, and his Divine Thought swept over it.

He was very knowledgeable in Artifact Refining, and he was well-versed in many Artifact Refining techniques.

However, the Golden Hoop in his hand was not strictly speaking, a treasure.

The Golden Hoop was crafted from Third Grade Material Zen Heart Gold. Judging from its crafting method and Artifact Refining techniques, it was not considered a superior creation.

But the treasures of the Buddhist faith were never judged solely on the basis of their Artifact Refining techniques. This Golden Hoop was definitely infused with the long-term Buddhist teachings of a great Buddhist power, causing it to undergo a special transformation and transcend beyond the category of ordinary treasures.

Li Shiming was curious. As he probed with his Divine Thought, he discovered that he could actually refine the Golden Hoop. How could this be possible for a treasure of the talisman level to be refined by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like himself?

However, considering the unique nature of the Golden Hoop, this unimaginable aspect could be understood.

It seemed that having lost its original owner, the Golden Hoop was imprinted with his Spiritual Imprint without much effort.

Of course, there was still a significant gap from fully refining the Golden Hoop, but he was able to wield some of its power and knew the specific methods to use it.

Speaking of the Buddhist Golden Hoop, it would remind one of the three Buddhist prohibitive measures, respectively known as the Prohibition Ring, Golden Hoop, and Tightening Ring, which are the most representative means of restraining cultivators in Buddhism.

However, the Golden Hoop in his hand was of another kind, named ‘Heart Hoop,’ a treasure that enhanced the spirit.

Li Shiming placed the Heart Hoop on his head, and although it looked a bit odd, he sensed that his Divine Thought had more than doubled in strength.

What was most terrifying was that his enhanced Divine Thought now possessed a certain degree of aggressiveness.

With the Heart Hoop on, if he encountered cultivators of lower realms, a single Divine Thought from him could cause their spirit to be injured. If he could learn an attack method based on Divine Thought, the power of the Heart Hoop would become even greater.

In addition, wearing the Heart Hoop, the distance he could cover with ‘Step by Step Lotus’ would also double.

This was almost equivalent to the next stage of Divine Foot Skill, ‘Inches Apart, Worlds Away,’ which was an invaluable treasure for survival.

Zhi Xin Arhat did not use the Heart Hoop when dealing with Li Yuanba.

Of course, whether Zhi Xin Arhat used the Heart Hoop or not, the outcome was more or less the same when facing Li Yuanba at the Foundation Establishment Stage; whether or not he used the Heart Hoop, Li Yuanba had no chance to fight back.

After pondering for a while, Li Shiming tossed the Heart Hoop to Li Yuanba.

Compared to his main body, his clone Li Yuanba needed the Heart Hoop more. With the Heart Hoop, the distance covered by Li Yuanba’s ‘Step by Step Lotus’ would double, allowing him to truly have the ability to escape from the clutches of powerful Golden Core practitioners.

Additionally, such auxiliary treasures were particularly suitable for Sword Cultivators to use.

Li Yuanba was not one to be polite either, as fundamentally, they were one and the same. He took the Heart Hoop and immediately placed it upon his head, and then covered it with the Heroic Cloth to prevent it from appearing conspicuous.

As for the matter of refinement, whether the main body Li Shiming or the clone Li Yuanba refined it, the effect was the same. The Spiritual Imprint was universal; all that was left was to fully refine the Heart Hoop when he returned.

Li Shiming then took out a small flying sword. This jade sword, the size of a finger, was densely inscribed with numerous tiny Buddhist scriptures.

This was a genuine magical treasure. Due to his realm, he was very curious about the power of this jade magical treasure sword, but it was not something he could easily claim ownership over, unlike the Heart Hoop.

But from his Artifact Refining perspective, the quality of this flying sword among magical treasures was definitely of the highest tier.

But that made sense; a Rohen like Zhi Xin from Qianye Temple, who had acquired Divine Skills, how could the treasures he possessed be ordinary?

And through examining the Spiritual Objects within the Space Ring, Li Shiming could also judge Zhi Xin Arhat’s attitude towards magical treasures as preferring quality over quantity.

Within the entire Space Ring, apart from the Heart Hoop, there was only this jade magical treasure sword.

And strictly speaking, the only real magical treasure was the jade magical treasure sword.

Li Shiming shifted his attention to the last Spiritual Object, which was a talisman, a talisman with an extremely peculiar aura that surpassed the quality of any he had seen before.

Although he could not identify the real name of this talisman, its function was still discernible: it was a life-saving talisman.

It was precisely because Li Yuanba’s sword stroke was so timely, severing Zhi Xin Arhat’s right arm along with the Space Ring, that Zhi Xin Arhat hadn’t been able to use this talisman to avoid being killed by the Senluo Sect.

After a brief contemplation, he decided to ask around after returning, and he should be able to learn the details of this talisman.
