Chapter 142: Chapter 117 Secret Technique_2

Li Shiming, through the Blood Covenant, sensed the state of the copper corpse; staying within the Ghost Domain for a maximum of one month, the copper corpse could advance to the next level of strength.

This was a progression from the Qi Refining Seventh Level to the Qi Refining Eighth Layer, a feat that cultivators, even with an abundance of resources, could not achieve without years of dedicated cultivation.

The improvement of Corpse Refining was inherently slow, but this slowness was under the condition of insufficient resources. With a large supply of resources, like using Third Grade resources for a Qi Refinement Realm copper corpse, the effects were naturally phenomenal.

And that was just a regular benefit of the Netherworld Ghost Realm Array aiding in Corpse Refining; the research of this Formation was intended to work in conjunction with Secret Techniques to modify Corpse Refining.

Li Shiming decided to embark on a new research project afterward, which was to transform the copper corpse and maximize its strength.

He felt it was a pity that the Netherworld Ghost Realm Array, once set up, covered a wider area and could not be used in the machinery room space; otherwise, he would have liked to send his clone into it for enhancement.

As long as the clone was transformed into the state of a corpse, it could accept the resources for Corpse Refining to strengthen itself.@@@@

However, after so many days, the clone had been cultivating in the machinery room space, and it was unclear whether it was influenced by Li Shiming’s consciousness or the machinery room space itself that was affecting the clone, but its aura was gradually changing to match Li Shiming’s aura.

Everyone has their own unique aura, a unique imprint of life, with each individual’s aura being distinct from the others.

Take the clone, for instance, its aura was originally Baili Jin Yan’s, but after about twenty days in the machinery room space, what was originally Baili Jin Yan’s aura was fading, and Li Shiming’s aura was taking its place.

This had an advantage, meaning when the clone’s aura had completely changed, void of any hint of Baili Jin Yan’s aura, he could attempt to summon the clone out of the machinery room space into the real world.

At that time, he could use the Netherworld Ghost Realm Array to enhance himself, and also provide Li Shiming with stronger combat power.

Of course, there was one issue with bringing the clone into the outside world—its appearance.

But this posed no challenge for Li Shiming, perhaps there were many ways to change one’s appearance in the Cultivation World, even enough to fool the heavens.

But it wasn’t that he looked down on these transfiguration methods, at least not the ones available during the Qi Refinement Realm, none of which could compare to plastic surgery of his previous life.

Plastic surgery fundamentally changed the appearance, unlike those simple transfiguration techniques.

The transfiguration methods of the Cultivation World usually required the use of Spiritual Power, and once Spiritual Power was used, there was a chance of detection by powerful beings.

The oppression of hierarchy in the Cultivation World was very clear; the Spiritual Power of a higher realm had a powerful penetrative effect against the Spiritual Power of a lower realm.

However, plastic surgery was different; it involved changing bone structure, facial muscles, skin, and even teeth, resulting in a complete alteration of the face, unrelated to Spiritual Power and nearly indistinguishable from nature.

Li Shiming spent some time learning about facial related medicine, cosmetic surgery, and other relevant knowledge within IBMz15.

The Third Grade Sword Base was extraordinary—the skin sliced open, the bones cut with ease, the muscles divided effortlessly.

A surgery unparalleled in history was unfolding within the computer room space.

Li Shiming had also practiced Body Refining Techniques and was well aware of the benefits of top-tier Body Refinement.

Injuries such as those to the flesh, for a body that had practiced top-tier Body Refining Techniques, could completely self-heal in a short time without leaving the slightest scar.

The facial bones of the avatar were altered, the paths of facial muscles minutely adjusted, making the eyes appear larger.

After the surgery was complete, there was no need for bandaging or any medication.

In just a short ten minutes, all signs of injury on the avatar’s face had vanished, and what appeared within the computer room space was the face designed by IBMz15’s analysis.

Even seeing the real avatar’s face, which he had crafted himself, Li Shiming still felt a sense of suffocation.

He doubted that if he let the avatar face female cultivators, just the visage alone would incapacitate them from acting.

Even when dealing with male cultivators, by capitalizing on their moment of astonishment, the avatar could easily gain the upper hand.

Of course, it would still be best to prepare a mask for the avatar to maximize the element of surprise offered by their appearance.

After some time, once the avatar’s aura had completely transformed, even presenting it before the Holy Ice Sect Elder, who was Baili Jin Yan’s father, he wouldn’t be able to recognize the avatar.

“When will I be able to learn the ‘Sword Demon Secret Manual’? Li Shiming stared at the avatar, enviously muttering to himself.

It wasn’t that the “Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill” was inadequate, but that the “Sword Demon Secret Manual” was simply too good.

The “Sword Demon Secret Manual” was not merely a Body Refinement Technique; Body Refinement was only part of it.

What mattered most was that the “Sword Demon Secret Manual” did not conflict with other Body Refining Techniques, such as the “Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill.”

Of course, once someone had cultivated the “Sword Demon Secret Manual,” their body would be strengthened to the utmost, and the “Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill” would offer limited further enhancement.

Without access to Third Grade Metal, Li Shiming could not cultivate the “Sword Demon Secret Manual,” and he could only covet what had just occurred.

If even a High Grade Sword Artifact couldn’t penetrate the unprotected skin of the avatar, it raised the question of how strong this body was and how long it would take to reach such a level with the “Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill.”
