"This is my very own mystic abode!" Li Shiming looked at the abode before him and murmured contentedly.

    Ever since he became a cultivator, he knew that one day he would leave the secular world. Moreover, having left his initial home early to attend the grand examination in Central Capital, he yearned for a home that befits the identity of a cultivator.

    After experiencing so much, he now had a home of his own within the Sky Sea Sect. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire

    Even though this home was extremely simple, with nothing but the existing prohibitions and seeming like a second-hand one at that, his heart filled with immense joy.

    The abode was divided into four rooms, entering into the living room, from which one proceeded to the cultivation room, which included a washroom with a flowing water feature.

    He planned to use the two rooms on the left and right of the living room as storerooms and a nurturing room. The nurturing room only needed to maintain its surface function, and he intended to cultivate Spirit Seedlings using the space of the machine room.

    What could be safer for cultivating Spirit Seedlings than a machine room space?

    The biggest concern during Spirit Seedling cultivation was spiritual insects'' infestation, which wouldn''t happen at all in a machine room space.

    Moreover, Spirit Seedlings cultivated in a machine room space were of extremely high yield varieties.

    In addition, he also planned to dig out a secret space underground to study the technological relics of a previous era.

    There wasn''t much furniture inside the abode, as cultivators generally didn''t pay much attention to these. Observing that the original owner of the abode hadn''t even carved out a bedroom, using the cultivation room instead, spoke volumes about the lifestyle of a cultivator.

    After cleaning the abode, he placed a new meditation mat in the cultivation room, making the abode livable.

    He tested the Spiritual Energy here, right beneath the cultivation room, where strands of Spiritual Energy surged.

    It seemed that the spiritual vein was located just below, though he wasn''t sure how deep it was. Normally, spiritual veins were situated deep underground, utilizing geological fissures to release Spiritual Energy.

    It was indeed an inferior spiritual vein, Li Shiming couldn''t help but shake his head.

    Fortunately, there was a Gathering Spirit Plate; otherwise, the impact of this place''s Spiritual Energy on his cultivation would have been substantial.

    He took out the Gathering Spirit Plate and placed it above the exit of the inferior spiritual vein.

    This would accelerate the flow of Spiritual Energy. This inferior spiritual vein was connected to the sect''s main spiritual vein, so there was no need to worry about extracting too much.

    Moreover, the Gathering Spirit Plate could also attract the Spiritual Power Pattern from around Eagle Beak Island to increase the concentration of Spiritual Energy on the island.

    After all, with the current stock of Spirit Rice in the cultivation room space exceeding two thousand catties, and with the upcoming crops, it would suffice for his needs to fulfill tasks for three years.

    He applied the ''Spring Breeze and Rain Skill'' several times on the spirit field, enabling the Spirit Rice seedlings to absorb sufficient spirit rain.

    He then took out the spirit soil from his storage bag and laid it on the left side of his cave dwelling, then planted the Spirit Bamboo.

    He didn''t plan to plant the spirit tea tree outside but kept it within the cultivation room space.

    As for the Spirit Rice planting area in the cultivation room space, he planned to temporarily stop and use the freed-up space for future research.

    He had many ideas in his mind, all of which required space to implement.

    After applying ''Spring Breeze and Rain Skill'' to the Spirit Bamboo, which was very lively, it grew without a Problem, unlike the Hao Family who didn''t even have a Spirit Plant cultivator and just relied on some spirit soil to sustain the Spirit Bamboo.

    Busy until evening, looking at the spirit field and Spirit Bamboo, though they didn''t look impressive now, once the spirit field was fully planted and new bamboos appeared, this place would have a different scene.

    Returning to his cave dwelling, the concentration of Spiritual Energy inside had significantly increased due to the effect of the Gathering Spirit Plate.

    However, most of the Spiritual Power flowed into the cultivation room where, above the Gathering Spirit Plate, Li Shiming felt that the concentration of Spiritual Energy had more than doubled.

    Although it was not as concentrated as at Central Peak, it was enough to support his cultivation.

    For the first time in his own cave dwelling, he practiced the ''Five Elements Qi Absorption Technique'' and ''Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill''. At midnight, he practiced fighting techniques again with the copper corpse.

    The next morning, he summoned the copper corpse from the corpse bag.

    The appearance of the copper corpse was quite unattractive, a result of the poor tastes of the Xuanming Sect cultivators.

    Li Shiming changed the black clothes on the copper corpse, dressing it in a Breeze Robe, while he himself wore the sect''s standard robe.

    Dressed in the white Breeze Robe, the copper corpse resembled a farm scholar, its robust body concealed by the voluminous Breeze Robe.

    He also discovered what the gigantic low-grade magical artifact found in the bag of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator of Xuanming Sect was for. It was a weapon used for Corpse Refining.

    The strength of the copper corpse was extremely formidable; barehanded, a casual strike could explode him, a Qi Refining Third Level cultivator, along with his beginner''s ''Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill''.

    Of course, against a Qi Refining Seventh Level copper corpse, not only he, even a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator without sufficient defense would not dare to take a casual strike from the copper corpse.
