Cultivation is just so scientific!-Chapter 152 - 122 Magic Artifact_2

Chapter 152: Chapter 122 Magic Artifact_2

Li Shiming did not rush; the greatest advantage for a cultivator is longevity.

Even a Qi Refining cultivator can easily live over a hundred years, and he was confident that he would not be confined to the Qi Refinement Realm. He had plenty of time to conduct his research.

He came to the side of the Spiritual Spring in the underground space, which by now was fully utilized.

This was the energy outlet of a Low Grade Spirit Vein. The “Netherworld Ghost Realm Array” occupied part of the space next to the Spiritual Spring, and the main core of the underground space’s Formation was also situated next to the Spiritual Spring. Adding the area reserved for his own cultivation, the space around the Spiritual Spring was entirely occupied.

Sitting on a stone stool, he took out Yun Ze’s storage bag and pulled out a pile of metal items from inside.

These metal items included long tube shapes, and irregular designs, but what was most surprising was that each piece was a Mid-grade Artifact Base.

A Mid-grade Artifact Base is a Mid Grade Magical Artifact in its raw state before any magic has been infused. Just this pile of Mid-grade Artifact Bases had used up ten thousand Spirit Stones, no wonder Yun Ze said he was wasteful.

In this world, no one could understand Li Shiming’s ideas.

His consciousness called up the Array design diagram from his IBMz15, which was for a six-barreled Gatling gun. Beyond the normal Gatling design, this one was covered in Array Runes and filled with complex Spiritual Power Pattern circuitry.

These Array Runes and Spiritual Power Patterns were so small that they were impossible to clearly see without magnifying them dozens of times. Such small-scale Formations were extremely rare in the Cultivation World, at least they should not be in the hands of a Qi Refining cultivator.

Li Shiming moved all the Mid-grade Artifact Bases into the machine room space, and his consciousness entered his clone.

A small part of the clone’s Third Grade Sword Base was taken out and transformed into a one-micron chisel.

The Third Grade Sword Base, now a chisel, was controlled by both the consciousness and the clone in the machine room space, and they began carving the Formation base on the Mid-grade Artifact Base according to the design diagram.

This process was incredibly delicate, and even the slightest error could affect the effectiveness of the Formation.

Only within the machine room space, where the Third Grade Sword Base could change freely, could such precise operations be performed on the Mid-grade Artifact Base.

It’s very likely that the creator of the “Sword Demon Secret Manual” never imagined that the powerful close combat Cultivation Technique he developed would become an aid for carving.

The carving work, which did not affect his cultivation and also required energy recovery, took him five days to complete.

But this was only the first step; the next was an equally precise task of fusing or cutting the Formation materials into the Formation base.

This task continued for another two days, and arranging the Formation on the Mid-grade Artifact Base was even more complex than setting up the small Mountain Protection Array on Eagle Beak Island.

After seven days of effort, Li Shiming had in his hands a weapon, the Gatling, that should not have existed in this world.

“Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatling!” he exclaimed excitedly as he looked at the Gatling gun in his hands.

In his previous life, every man had a dream, just as he explained to Yun Ze why he spent a large amount of Spirit Stones. Although not the entire reason, it was indeed the dreams that lead to spending Spirit Stones on what Yun Ze considered a total waste.

To say that the Gatling gun in his hands was a Mid Grade Magical Artifact was somewhat imprecise because every single part of the Gatling could be considered a Mid Grade Magical Artifact.

Of course, no matter how many Mid Grade Magical Artifacts were assembled together, there would not be a breakthrough in quality.

After arranging the Formation and infusing the spells, the Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatling in his hands was finally complete, and what followed was the testing of its power.

This was also the key to determining whether the expenditure of ten thousand Spirit Stones was worth it. If the power of the Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatling did not meet the design specifications, then those ten thousand Spirit Stones would have been truly wasted, turning into an expensive toy.

He took out eleven Spirit Stones; one was placed in the Formation base at the rear of the Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatling.

With the activation of the Formation, the surface of the Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatling began to flicker with light, and then the complex Array Runes on its surface disappeared into the interior and were no longer visible.

Li Shiming placed the other ten Spirit Stones into the spirit stone slot, which was where the energy for the Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatling was provided.

He looked around the environment, his figure flashed away from the underground space, and he appeared above the sea outside the island.

The underground space now had a new passageway connecting it to the outside world, built under the sea, concealed and protected by an array, and also doubly safeguarded by a minor Mountain Protection Array.

It was an escape tunnel he had constructed to prevent unforeseen events, allowing him to quietly leave Eagle Beak Island at any moment.

Li Shiming’s black wings unfolded behind him as he flew off into the distance.

There were many uninhabited islands in the sea area outside the sect, and these small islands, lacking spirit veins, fresh water, and food resources, were so desolate that not even seabirds would land on them.

Li Shiming stood on one such deserted island, where he intended to test the Mid-Grade Magic Weapon Gatling.

He pressed the trigger, and the Mid-Grade Magic Weapon Gatling was made mostly of ice attribute metal, combined with ice frost runes attached to it, which allowed it to instantly form ice crystals.

These ice crystals were formed in the chamber precisely calculated.

The shape of the ice crystals was confined to bullet form, but the ice crystals produced by Mid-Grade ice attribute metal through the ice frost runes had strength comparable to a Mid-Grade magic tool.

As the ice crystal bullets were formed, the Mid-Grade Magic Weapon Gatling’s array began to operate, extracting spiritual energy from the spirit stone slot and channeling it into the ice crystal bullets.

This was originally a very simple operation, the task of imbuing the ice crystal bullets with spiritual energy posed no difficulty, but to complete this process in an extremely short amount of time required speeding it up.

The intricate array that was specifically designed for the Mid-Grade Magic Weapon Gatling existed for this very purpose.

The ice crystal bullets, boosted by the array, now had a potency similar to a top-grade magic tool, a strength sufficient to threaten a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

Yet this was just the ice crystal bullets in stasis, just like a magic artifact held in the hand, they wouldn’t inflict damage unless they struck a cultivator’s body.

At this moment, the sole fire attribute metal component inside the whole Mid-Grade Magic Weapon Gatling, the combustion chamber, was successfully ignited, creating an explosion inside due to a vast influx of fire attribute spiritual energy via a miniature array.

Since there was no need to worry about whether the chamber and the barrel could withstand the force of the explosion, the blast was made as fierce as possible.

With the protection of durability runes, an array, and the Mid-Grade material body, the Mid-Grade Magic Weapon Gatling possessed exceptional sturdiness.

The ice crystal bullets were fired out from the barrel with the explosion, continuously spinning as they traveled down the barrel’s rifling.

There was no concern regarding ejecting shell casings, so as soon as a second ice crystal bullet was made, it was also fired by the explosion in the combustion chamber, followed by a third and a fourth.

While the description may seem prolonged, in reality, within one second, the Mid-Grade Magic Weapon Gatling had fired thirty ice crystal bullets.

The firing rate was controlled by an electric actuator, an array that Li Shiming and IBM z15 had researched together, which could reach a maximum rate of thirty bullets per second.

If there were further advancements in the array, simply adjusting the electric actuator would increase the Mid-Grade Magic Weapon Gatling’s firing rate.

At its current firing rate, the Mid-Grade Magic Weapon Gatling would consume a spirit stone every ten seconds, with ten spirit stones only lasting a hundred seconds.

The spirit stone slot could also be combined with a storage bag, allowing for longer energy consumption from spirit stones.

Li Shiming was conducting a test, after firing continuously for a hundred seconds, he began to inspect the status of the Mid-Grade Magic Weapon Gatling.

In his previous life, synthetic metals were able to support the firing of a Gatling gun, not to mention that this Gatling was a Mid-Grade magic artifact, which had multiple enhancements.

In terms of power, IBM z15 had estimated that each ice crystal bullet of the Mid-Grade Magic Weapon Gatling had the equivalent power of a copper corpse wielding a large axe and chopping down.

In the span of one second, which Qi Refining Cultivator could withstand the attack of a copper corpse hacking at them thirty times in succession?

Perhaps there were some, Li Shiming thought of Baili Jin Yan, a top second-generation immortal of the Qi Refinement Realm pushing its limits, who probably could resist the continuous attacks of the Mid-Grade Magic Weapon Gatling with their body alone.

But in the Cultivation World, how many geniuses like Baili Jin Yan could there be?

It’s unlikely that even the Holy Ice Sect could produce a second one. The investment of a third-grade spiritual item could be used to nurture a Golden Core; it was no surprise that it could help a Qi Refining Cultivator resist the barrage of the Mid-Grade Magic Weapon Gatling.
