Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 101 Harvest

The Dragon-Locking Phoenix-Sealing Array Plate, a name given to an extremely exaggerated array plate, embedded with the Dragon-locking Phoenix-sealing Array, is a masterpiece by an Array Master.

This kind of completely customized formation, crafted uniquely from design to production according to client specifications, comes at an exorbitantly expensive price.

Only cultivators of high status are able to afford such customized formations; otherwise, ordinary cultivators, even if they possess Spirit Stones, might not even get noticed by an Array Master.

Compared to mature formations, customized formations are harder to decipher, especially by fellow Array Masters.

Li Shiming had taken control of the Dragon-locking Phoenix-sealing Array Plate, but he had not deactivated the Dragon-locking Phoenix-sealing Array.

The Dragon-locking Phoenix-sealing Array Plate achieved defense and isolation simultaneously, and its effects exceeded his expectations.

The energy source within the Dragon-locking Phoenix-sealing Array Plate was a type of Spirit Stone he had never seen before, which was more translucent and had higher levels of Spiritual Energy.

Unfortunately, due to two consecutive explosions before, the three Spirit Stones serving as the energy source were nearly depleted.

"Could this be a Mid-grade Spirit Stone?" Remembering records from the knowledge of a Qi Refinement cultivator, he guessed what the energy source Spirit Stones were.

Theoretically, Qi Refinement Realm cultivators should not have access to Mid-grade Spirit Stones, as these are circulated only among Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and Qi Refinement cultivators rarely even get a chance to see Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

No wonder a formation driven by Mid-grade Spirit Stones could withstand the simultaneous explosions of 'white phosphorus bombs' and 'thermite bombs'.

Indeed, it was because the Dragon-locking Phoenix-sealing Array Plate absorbed the explosions' forces that all the explosive force repeatedly acted on Baili Jin Yan's body, which was the main cause of Baili Jin Yan's death.

Otherwise, with the life-saving objects on Baili Jin Yan, he would not have fallen here.

Thinking of Baili Jin Yan, Li Shiming turned to look at the body on the ground.

The body on the ground had no clothes left, its naked form bearing only a bracelet on the wrist, nothing else remaining.

"Did the storage bag get blown up?" Not seeing the storage bag, Li Shiming couldn't help but speak to himself with some annoyance.

He could imagine how wealthy Baili Jin Yan was, just by seeing the two magic artifacts he had taken out to torment him, one a Mid-Grade Magical Artifact and the other a top-grade magic tool.

Li Shiming's top-grade Qingyuan Wood Sword was an unexpected inheritance he had acquired. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire

Yet, Baili Jin Yan had casually taken out such artifacts just to torment him.

It wasn't his fault for being superficial; having entered the Cultivation World, he first experienced the challenges of a Loose Cultivator, and among the cultivators he met after joining a sect, none except Yin Shilan had such wealth.

He internally complained about how unreliable the storage bag was. Didn't storage bags survive a few explosions in the past?

As he pondered, he casually took the bracelet from the wrist of Baili Jin Yan's body.

This bracelet was the only item that remained—likely a fine magic artifact.

Li Shiming channeled Spiritual Power into the bracelet and suddenly perceived a huge space measuring 30 meters by 30 meters by 30 meters.

He finally understood why he hadn't found the storage bag—because Baili Jin Yan didn't have one; instead, he used a storage bracelet, a high-end item.

Storage bracelets weren't supposed to appear on Qi Refinement Realm cultivators, and even most Foundation Establishment Cultivators used storage bags, only larger inside than ordinary storage bags.

But no matter how large a storage bag's space might get, due to the innate limitations of storage bags, it is not possible to be overly large.

This storage bracelet exceeded Li Shiming's imagination, even larger than the space of his own server room.

Li Shiming's expression turned grim. He didn't start to examine what was inside the storage bracelet closely; he only saw piles of Spirit Stones and the most conspicuous item—a small Elegant Flying Boat.

Upon seeing the Flying Boat, he realized that the state of Flying Boats when placed into a storage item is minimized before entry.

It makes sense, as not all cultivators have such extravagant storage space; Flying Boats must be designed with storage in mind for ease of carriage by cultivators.

Of course, there are Flying Boats that cannot be minimized; those are medium to large Flying Boats used communally within the sect.

Li Shiming first retrieved his own Identity Jade Disc, then tried to store the storage bracelet in the server room space. If the server room space was just a regular storage area, the spatial overlap would make it impossible to store the bracelet.

Fortunately, the server room space was a uniquely special space, and the storage bracelet was easily stored within it.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the storage bracelet including all its contents, the Soul-binding Rope, and the Soul Piercing Needle had to be kept in the server room space for a long time.

Who knows whether the storage bracelet or any of the Spiritual Objects inside carried the mark of the forces behind Baili Jin Yan.

He did not want to be pursued by the terrifying force capable of giving out a storage bracelet; if discovered, even the Heavenly Sea Sect might not be able to protect him.

For a mere Qi Refinement Realm disciple, Heavenly Sea Sect wouldn't oppose a powerful force. Perhaps Heavenly Sea Sect would appear firm on the surface, but with a minor trick, they could easily betray him.

In his previous life, he had seen countless cases in movies, television, and real life, where people were betrayed for sufficient interests.

Li Shiming's gaze returned to Baili Jin Yan's body, recalling the torture he had endured from him.
