Lei Gong came to the spar bed. From this distance, he could observe the ancient monks more clearly.
The ancient monks wore a white robe. The style was like digging a hole in the middle of a piece of cloth, and then pulling the cloth over the head to form the current white robe.
The ancient monk looked very young and was a male monk.
However, Li Shiming did not think that the monk was really young. He judged the monk's strength from the energy fluctuations in the monk's body. He was a half-step master who was only one step away from being promoted to great power.
If we judge accurately based on realm, the realm of the ancient monks should be the peak of half-step almighty power.
In addition to his great power, the physical body of the ancient monks was the strongest.
When Lei Gong looked at the ancient monk, he was still very cautious. Although it did not sense the soul from the ancient monk's body, the methods that the ancient monk had were beyond Li Shiming's guess.
Lei Gong rummaged through the ancient monk's body, but found nothing.
The ancient monks were naked, wearing only a simple robe made of a whole piece of cloth.
"Could this be the spare body of an ancient monk?" Suddenly Li Shiming had a guess.
This can be judged from the current habits of Nascent Soul monks. As long as the monk's realm is promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, after possessing the Nascent Soul, the monk can rebuild with the help of the Nascent Soul after the death of the physical body.
In this process, the most important thing is to have a functional physical body.
Therefore, many Yuanying monks will spend a lot of effort to find young monks who are extremely talented and match their own attributes, and use special secret methods to remove the young monk's soul, leaving only an empty body.
When performing some dangerous tasks, monks will arrange a spare body. In case of emergency, they can use the Nascent Soul to seize the spare body and get a chance to reincarnate and rebuild.
It's just that the ancient monk would use a body with peak half-step power as a backup body. So how powerful is this ancient monk?
Lei Gong did not immediately touch this peak half-step powerful body. In fact, Li Shiming was extremely jealous of this peak half-step powerful body.
With the experience of refining Thunder God and Red Devil, plus the accidental success of refining the clone of Li Yuanba before, Li Shiming wanted to use this peak half-step powerful body to refine a new clone.
Even if he can't refine a new clone, a refined corpse with peak half-step almighty strength is enough to improve his self-preservation ability again.
But he planned to finally consider using this peak half-step powerful body, at least after exploring the entire ancient ruins.
Thunder God began to explore the surroundings. Its exploration was very simple. It only needed to find a restriction similar to a portal.
Lei Gong will naturally use his space movement ability to find the space on the other side of the restriction.
After searching for a while, I finally found a hidden portal in a corner of this space.
In the same way, space moves through the portal.
The space we came to was a quiet room, a decayed futon, and in front of the decayed futon was a small incense burner and a jade carving of Ruyi.
The futon should be woven from extremely high-quality spiritual grass. Unfortunately, no matter how high-quality the spiritual grass is, it cannot withstand the erosion of time without special protection.
The aura remaining on the futon told Lei Gong that it was a treasure that had an excellent effect on improving cultivation.
"What a pity!" Lei Gong shook his head and sighed.
Futon-type auxiliary cultivation treasures are extremely difficult to refine. Li Shiming himself only has one futon suitable for the level of a great monk, and that is the 'Infinite Jasper Futon' obtained from the Wuliang Sect.
Lei Gong sensed the incense burner. The moment he sensed the incense burner, he understood that his judgment was wrong.
This is not an incense burner, but an alchemy burner.
It cannot be blamed that Li Shiming, who controls Thunder God, has little knowledge. As the top alchemy master in the world of immortality, he has seen many kinds of alchemy furnaces, and he has five fourth-grade alchemy furnaces in his own hands.
The main reason is that this is an ancient alchemy furnace, which is different from today's alchemy furnaces in many aspects.
"Fifth-grade alchemy furnace!" Lei Gong confirmed it repeatedly before confirming the quality of the ancient alchemy furnace in front of him.
The alchemy furnace is completely different from ordinary magic weapons. Although Li Shiming has the inheritance of refining the alchemy furnace, he has never really refined a high-quality alchemy furnace. That is because the materials required for refining the alchemy furnace require many parts.
Each one has its own different properties.
Unless it is a sect that specializes in refining alchemy furnaces and has experienced long-term accumulation and special collection, it is possible to collect all the materials for refining the alchemy furnace.
Li Shiming was too lazy to collect them. His current alchemy ability had reached its peak. Even if he replaced it with a better alchemy furnace, it would not be able to improve his alchemy.
You must know that when he is refining the Great Monk's Spiritual Pill, the quality of the Great Monk's Spiritual Pill that he is about to deliver is deliberately suppressed.
The quality of the great monk elixir he left behind has reached the ultimate level of high-level monk quality. This is the theoretical limit. Except for him who has 0.05 nanometers of control over the computer room space, he can refine such an elixir in the computer room space.
Except for the great monk's elixir, no alchemy master can do this.
Therefore, he has never deliberately pursued the alchemy furnace.
But the fifth-grade elixir furnace is a completely different concept. The fifth-grade elixir furnace is an elixir furnace that can refine fifth-grade elixirs.
If a fourth-grade elixir furnace is used to refine a fifth-grade elixir, the success rate will be extremely impressive, and it may even cause serious damage to the fourth-grade elixir furnace.
Of course, even if the fifth-grade alchemy furnace was given to Li Shiming, it would not be of much help to him in the short term.
He has never seen even a fifth-grade elixir, let alone a fifth-grade elixir. Without a fifth-grade elixir and a fifth-grade elixir, how can he refine a fifth-grade elixir.
Lei Gong picked up the fifth-grade alchemy furnace and put it into the soul crystal ring he carried with him.
The whole process went very smoothly, and Lei Gong even discovered that there was no recognition mark in the fifth-grade elixir furnace.
Perhaps the owner of the fifth-grade alchemy furnace has long since died, or perhaps the long time has allowed the mark of recognition in the fifth-grade alchemy furnace to dissipate.
Lei Gong looked at the last jade carving Ruyi. He picked up the jade carving Ruyi and felt something after looking at it repeatedly.
It placed the jade carving Ruyi between its eyebrows, and then it perceived the content of the jade carving Ruyi.
The jade carving Ruyi is an ancient jade slip, and like the jade slip, it contains a lot of information.
Lei Gong checked the records in the jade carving Ruyi, and IBMz15 immediately backed up all the contents and included them in the database.
The records in the Jade Carving Ruyi were experimental records. Through the records in the Jade Carving Ruyi, he knew the true function of this ancient ruins.
In addition to being the place where ancient monks arranged their own spare bodies, this place is also an experimental base for studying immortality.
That body with peak half-step power was obtained by the owner from an ancient super power. As for how it was obtained, there is no record in Jade Carving Ruyi.
Thinking about Li Shiming's side, the main body and the clones obtained a total of three half-step powerful corpses. It can be seen that as long as the right method is used, the half-step powerful can still be defeated.
The peak half-step powerful body became the spare body of the master here. The one hundred and eight late-stage fourth-grade spiritual beasts should be said to be a kind of spiritual insect, called the immortal tardigrade.
Immortal tardigrades can almost live forever. The immortality mentioned here is not only an almost endless lifespan, but also the ability to protect itself.
At least it is impossible to kill the immortal tardigrade unless it reaches the level of almighty strength.
Moreover, the immortal tardigrade will continue to increase in strength the longer it exists.
It is extremely difficult to cultivate immortal tardigrades. The owner spent a lot of energy and blood to cultivate 108 immortal tardigrades for the study of immortality.
A large amount of experimental data was recorded in Jade Carving Ruyi, but the recording was interrupted when it reached one point.
He speculated that it was very likely that the owner of the place died unexpectedly, which halted the research and could no longer be studied.
But in fact, the master's research here can be considered a success, because through the extraction of the vitality of one hundred and eight immortal tardigrades, the physical body of the peak half-step almighty has indeed survived for at least tens of thousands of years.
The ancient ruins here are the research laboratory left by an ancient monk.
The defense system here, in addition to the external restrictions, is the guardian spirit beast that has been cultivated.
Guardian spirit beasts do not have the ability to live forever, but they retain the responsibility of guardianship in their souls by living in confinement and reproducing on their own.
There are six ‘Golden Clear Ice Crystal Beasts’ outside. I don’t know how many generations of ‘Golden Clear Ice Crystal Beasts’ they are.
Now that he knew there was no danger, Li Shiming controlled Thunder God and first came to the one hundred and eight immortal tardigrades.
Li Shiming, who was on a long voyage, used a secret method of remote possession.
This secret method is to project one's own consciousness remotely through some kind of medium.
Some great monks will hand over the media they create to the juniors they value most. When the juniors are in danger, after activating the medium, the senior monks can use the secret method of remote possession to project a piece of their consciousness there.
The consciousness that has been projected in the past can cast spells of its own realm. Although it is the weakest spell in this realm, it can still have a devastating effect when facing enemies that are lower than its own realm.
Li Shiming used Lei Gong as a medium to perform the secret method of remote possession, so he definitely didn't want to fight.
Thunder Lord is much more powerful than him, so the secret method of remote possession is used to make it easier to operate.
He also discovered that it was Lei Gong's stronger realm and his extreme cooperation that made it very easy for Li Shiming to use the secret method of remote possession without much burden.
Li Shiming's shadow appeared faintly on Lei Gong's 1.2 meter body.
Li Shiming looked at the one hundred and eight immortal tardigrades, with joy flashing in his eyes.
He took a long breath, and the secret method of remote possession allowed him to project a piece of his spirit remotely.
He used this energy to perform the Master Recognition Technique, and each of the Master Recognition Techniques was released and flew into the bodies of the immortal tardigrades.
This is the Master Recognition Technique of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. Whether it is a spirit insect or a spirit beast, as long as it loses its ability to resist, the success rate of the Master Recognition Technique will be extremely high.
The realm of the immortal tardigrade is in the late fourth stage. Li Shiming is the peak monk, and the immortal tardigrade is in a state of restraint and imprisonment. Although the owner here died and the immortal tardigrade lost its original owner, it did not affect this place.
The state of confinement.
As long as the energy here continues, the restraint and confinement of the one hundred and eight immortal tardigrades will not disappear.
The Master Recognition Technique performed by Li Shiming flew into the bodies of the immortal tardigrades. The Master Recognition Technique turned into contracts, and he successfully contracted with each immortal tardigrade.
At the peak of the realm of a great monk, if you want to contract with late-stage fourth-grade immortal tardigrades, no matter how powerful your spirit is, you can only get a dozen at most.
But Li Shiming is different. He has one hundred and ninety-one brains, and the number of late-stage fourth-grade immortal tardigrades he can contract is extremely large. Contracting one hundred and eight immortal tardigrades cannot cause him the slightest burden.
Although the Master-Recognition Technique sometimes fails during the execution, usually the second time the Master-Recognition Technique is used, the contract will be successful. Among the 108 immortal tardigrades, the maximum number of times the Master-Recognition Technique is required is three times.
After a period of time, Li Shiming sensed that the soul had established a contract channel with one hundred and eight fourth-grade late-stage beings.
He can sense the unconscious state of one hundred and eight late-stage fourth-level beings. It is precisely because the immortal tardigrade is in an unconscious state that it can be contracted so easily.
With the experimental records in Jade Carving Ruyi, he can already control the formations and restrictions here.
He controlled Thunder God to close the formation, and one hundred and eight immortal tardigrades slowly woke up from their unconscious state.
The immortal tardigrades felt the existence of the master contract, and they were not surprised.
Before the immortal tardigrades are in an unconscious state, they are in a contracted state. There is nothing strange in that they are still in a contracted state after waking up.
Even the immortal tardigrades don't know that tens of thousands of years have passed, and the memory of the immortal tardigrades still remains in the memory of when they were put into the transparent partition tens of thousands of years ago.
Thunder God took out a spirit beast bag and issued orders to one hundred and eight immortal tardigrades.
The immortal tardigrade showed no resistance. Not to mention the contractual relationship, the original owner tens of thousands of years ago had already successfully trained the immortal tardigrade.
The immortal tardigrades were thrown into the spirit beast bag one after another, and soon all one hundred and eight immortal tardigrades entered the spirit beast bag.
Lei Gong put away the spirit beast bag and arrived at the crystal bed on the upper floor in a flash.
Although it has lost the supply of vitality, this body with peak half-step almighty strength is just continuing to lose lifespan normally.
Even though tens of thousands of years have passed, the lifespan of the peak half-step powerful physical body still stops tens of thousands of years ago. The lost lifespan has been replenished by 10,800 immortal tardigrades.
The peak half-step powerful physical body.
With a half-step powerful body at its peak, it still has at least several thousand years of lifespan. This is a spare body prepared for the master here, so its lifespan is naturally very sufficient.
