Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 62 Rewards

Li Shiming returned home somewhat puzzled, why would the Xuanming Sect cultivator carry two Spatial Bags?

He wasn't feeling any pressure, since the Foundation Establishment Cultivator had found the Xuanming Sect cultivator's Spatial Bag, it's likely they wouldn't think there was a second one.

Having not slept for several nights, even a cultivator would feel incredibly fatigued with such low strength.

Before going to sleep, he entered his consciousness into the room's space.

He observed the picked-up Spatial Bag, which looked different from ordinary Spatial Bags no matter how he looked at it.

He shook his head, deciding not to concern himself with the appearance of the Spatial Bag.

The ones he had obtained before were all owned by Loose Cultivators, so maybe the Spatial Bags of sect cultivators were different.

Thinking this, he took out the Spatial Bag from the room's space and then infused it with spiritual power.

As Li Shiming sensed the contents of the Spatial Bag, he nearly threw it out of his hands.

Because inside the Spatial Bag was not the items he had imagined, but a corpse instead.

He wasn't someone who had never seen a corpse, but this one was completely different from any he had seen before.

The corpse was draped in a black robe, its exposed skin showing a bronze color.

Most crucially, the body carried a yin cold spiritual power fluctuation, and this yin cold spiritual power was circulating within it.

The environment inside the Spatial Bag was also different from a normal one, filled with yin cold energy, perfectly suiting the state of the corpse.

"This is not a Spatial Bag, but a bag for Corpse Refining!" Li Shiming knew what he had stumbled upon. He didn't know the name of the bag, but he knew its purpose.

He was worried about whether the refined corpse might come out of the bag, but fortunately, it was very well-behaved inside the bag, remaining motionless as the yin cold spiritual power circulated.

Li Shiming didn't know what to do with the refined corpse, but since it was harmless, he decided to put it away for now.

After all, judging by the state of the refined corpse, it didn't need his interference and could stay quietly on its own.

Early the next morning, Li Shiming was called to the courtyard outside the Imperial Palace by a 'Hundred-Mile Communication Token' from Gu Jia, which he had visited once before.

"Mr. Li, Junior Master Cui mentioned you, saying he would give you a reward. You must pay attention, as this relates to your survival once you join the sect!" Gu Jia, who rarely greets at the door, was waiting and immediately advised him in a whispered transmission as soon as they met.

Li Shiming lacked the ability to transmit messages, so he could only nod vigorously to show he understood.

Entering the room, he saw Junior Master Cui sitting in a chair, looking at something without looking up at his entrance.

He stood to the side and waited for approximately thirty minutes.

"Good temperament. I have reviewed your file, tell me, which Cultivation Technique do you practice?" Junior Master Cui said with a nod.

While Gu Jia's investigation results about Li Shiming were in the file, Junior Master Cui needed to be 100% sure of Li Shiming's background before giving a reward.

Knowing that once he gave a reward, it virtually guaranteed Li Shiming's entry to the Sky Sea Sect.

No matter which Foundation Establishment Cultivator came to preside over the Ascension Conference, none would risk offending Junior Master Cui by refusing Li Shiming entry to the sect.

```

It was precisely because he understood its importance that Gu Jia gave Li Shiming such a special reminder.

"Elder, the technique I practice is the 'Five Elements Qi Absorption Technique', which I found in the rear garden of the Nanling Government Office!" Li Shiming bowed and replied.

"The 'Five Elements Qi Absorption Technique' is indeed a top-notch Qi Refinement technique; you are very fortunate!" Junior Master Cui smiled as he offered his assessment and continued, "It seems that after you begin your training, there's no need to select a main cultivation technique. The 'Five Elements Qi Absorption Technique' is sufficient for you to practice until the Qi Refining Peak."

Upon hearing this, he paused to think for a moment.

Li Shiming's heart leaped with joy; even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like Junior Master Cui said the 'Five Elements Qi Absorption Technique' was a top-notch Qi Refinement technique, so he no longer needed to change techniques.

Changing techniques could have a significant impact on a cultivator, wasting a lot of cultivation time as the original spiritual power pattern would need to be converted to that of the new technique.

After all, who wouldn't want the technique they are practicing to be the best?

"I heard from Gu Jia that you asked about the methods of using magic artifacts, so I will impart to you a set of the 'Dragon Drawing Technique' for driving magic artifacts.

Although I discovered the 'Dragon Drawing Technique' during my travels outside, it has already been reported to the sect, so this technique may only be learned by you and must not be divulged, do you understand?" Junior Master Cui said solemnly.

"Thank you, Elder, I will definitely comply!" Li Shiming bowed and thanked him earnestly.

"Learn it right here, and after you've mastered it, I will take back the Jade Scroll!" Junior Master Cui said as he took out a long, green jade scroll and placed it before Li Shiming.

Li Shiming took the Jade Scroll; this was his first encounter with a Jade Scroll, having only heard about it in books before.

A Jade Scroll is a treasure in the Cultivation World for recording cultivation techniques, and its contents can survive for tens of thousands of years unaffected, far longer than paper.

Moreover, many profound cultivation techniques in the Cultivation World contain massive amounts of content that would require an impractical amount of paper if recorded in book form.

A single Jade Scroll, however, can store vast amounts of content. Sects extensively use Jade Scrolls as carriers for the inheritance of cultivation techniques.

"Place the Jade Scroll on your forehead and concentrate your mind to perceive it!" Junior Master Cui saw Li Shiming looking somewhat at a loss and reminded him with a smile.

Li Shiming placed the Jade Scroll on his forehead and focused his consciousness there; soon after, a stream of information entered his mind.

The content transmitted by the Jade Scroll included diagrams and text. Fortunately, the 'Dragon Drawing Technique' was not particularly profound, so even without the help of the IBMz15, with a cultivator's memory, he could memorize it after going over it several times.

He not only memorized it for himself but also created a document in the IBMz15, recording the 'Dragon Drawing Technique' within.

He didn't show anything exceptional, going through the content of the 'Dragon Drawing Technique' five times via the Jade Scroll. When he felt that the time taken was approximately that of normal memorization, he finally removed the Jade Scroll from his forehead.

"The 'Dragon Drawing Technique' is a universal method for controlling magic artifacts and can also be regarded as an introductory technique for sword cultivators; do not let it down!" Junior Master Cui waved his hand gently, took back the Jade Scroll from Li Shiming's hand, and instructed.

After finishing, Junior Master Cui waved his hand.

Li Shiming, of course, understood his meaning, bowed respectfully, and left the room.

"Getting recognition from Junior Master Cui before the Ascension Conference means your position as a junior disciple is destined. Practice the 'Dragon Drawing Technique' well; once you reach the sect, you will understand the preciousness of the 'Dragon Drawing Technique'!" Gu Jia said as he patted Li Shiming's shoulder while sending him off.

"I must thank my fellow Daoist as well!" Li Shiming bowed and spoke earnestly.

He could tell from Junior Master Cui's words that Gu Jia had spoken highly of him; otherwise, Junior Master Cui may not have regarded him so highly.
