Cultivation is just so scientific!

The addition of two new heads, though not very smart, was also a good thing, they completely obeyed the commands of the main head without any trace of resistance.

This was understandable, as the spirits in the new heads were derived from the main head, creating a natural master-servant relationship.

He then made the copper corpse move its arms, and initially, the six arms seemed somewhat awkward for it to handle.

Fortunately, the four new arms were controlled by the two new heads, and after some time getting used to them, the copper corpse could now manipulate all six arms with ease.

Here it must be mentioned that the copper corpse's innate combat instinct made it born for battle, whether naturally occurring or refined by cultivators, fighting was their purpose for existence.

Not to mention having three heads and six arms, even if given a more bizarre body, it could quickly utilize it and turn it into a weapon for combat.

Li Shiming left the copper corpse within the "Netherworld Ghost Realm Array" to let it continuously adapt its body.

The order of fifty thousand spirit stones from Yun's Trading House, even with their full capacity, would take five days to deliver, and that was only because he was an important partner allowing him to jump the queue.

He was just waiting for the goods to return so he could begin fully arming the newly created copper corpse.

At dusk, Li Shiming once again took out the communication device and sent a message to Ren Fei'er, but Ren Fei'er still did not reply.

In the days that followed, he was unable to contact Ren Fei'er.

He became somewhat worried about Ren Fei'er's safety, but he found that apart from worrying, there was nothing he could do.

He didn't know where Ren Fei'er lived, or even which sect Ren Fei'er belonged to, the only method of contact was the communication device.

With the communication device unable to connect, he could only suppress his worries, believing in Ren Fei'er's intelligence and background to get through any trouble.

On the fourth day after Ren Fei'er lost contact, Yin Shilan left a message informing him she had urgent matters to attend to and would be out of contact for a while, and would inform him upon her return.

Soon after, the five sets of Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatling he ordered from Yun's Trading House arrived, and Li Shiming was once again immersed in being busy.

Thanks to his prior experience, the production speed of the five Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatlings significantly increased, and his enhanced mastery of formations led to improvements in the existing formations of the Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatling.

In three days, the five Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatlings were successfully manufactured, and even the original one had been improved.

The power of a Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatling was enhanced to the late stages of Qi Refining Seventh Level, approaching the power of Qi Refining Eighth Layer.

The body of the copper corpse stabilized, and tests showed that even without employing the Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatlings, the combat strength of the three-headed, six-armed copper corpse increased by at least thirty percent.

This increase in combat capability was not solely due to having three heads and six arms, but also the enhancement from a Foundation Establishment Cultivator's bones.

Li Shiming even wondered whether acquiring the bones of a Golden Core cultivator would directly elevate the copper corpse's combat power to that of an Iron Corpse.

Of course, it was just a thought; not to mention the difficulty in obtaining a Golden Core cultivator's bones, even if he did obtain them, he wouldn't dare allow such a drastic increase in the copper corpse's strength.

As time progressed, he began to undertake Sect Array missions again to earn good deeds for the sect; the spiritual stone-related tasks had long lost his interest.

But these days were short-lived, as a message forced him to halt all tasks at hand.

"Big brother, come to Qingyi Island and save me!" Ren Fei'er, who had been offline for so long, sent a message through the communication device before losing contact again.

Upon seeing this message, Li Shiming was filled with great confusion.

Although he wasn't sure how far the communication device's range extended, after checking the location of Qingyi Island, he was almost certain that Qingyi Island was outside the communication range.

Because Qingyi Island was deep in the ocean, very close to the Heavenly Sea line, a region only a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator could reach.

Though impressive, he also analyzed the device's working principle, which utilized the Sect Formation, but it was possible there was some connection between other sects' formations and the Sky Sea Sect's Sect Formation, hence the potential mutual communication.

Yet, Qingyi Island was far beyond the range of the Sect Formation, definitely exceeding the communication range.

However, despite his doubts, Li Shiming would not ignore the situation, as Ren Fei'er was one of his few friends in this world.

He first returned to Eagle Beak Island and immediately prepared to leave after taking back the copper corpse from the underground space.

In order to reach Qingyi Island as quickly as possible, he took out the Jade Flying Boat. As for being targeted by the Holy Ice Sect, he could no longer care about that.

Ren Fei'er sat on a clean rock on Qingyi Island, swinging her slender legs back and forth, looking somewhat bored.

"Looking at the time, big brother should have received the message I left, and will soon start setting up. If he doesn't come, I will ignore him forever!" she murmured, looking into the distance.

Once again, she had run away from home without telling anyone and had left the sect.

She needed to prove something very important to her, that Li Shiming cared about her.

For this proof, she had come to this highly dangerous sea area.

Of course, although Ren Fei'er was playful and mischievous, she still knew her limits. Enjoy new chapters from My Virtual Library Empire

Qingyi Island was located about several hundred Baili behind the defense line of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators. No Second-Order Sea Beasts would appear here; they would be killed by the defending Foundation Establishment Cultivators and assisting Qi Refining Cultivators.

At most, there might be First-Order Sea Beasts here, which Ren Fei'er herself could handle without any problem.

She had spent some time with Li Shiming, had seen his combat capabilities, and knew about the defense of his Spirit Turtle Shield; Li Shiming would not encounter any dangers in this sea area either.

Besides, she was not asking Li Shiming to come and risk his life; as soon as Li Shiming arrived, she would be happy to return with him.

She had calculated the speed of Li Shiming using the Black Sparrow Wing. If the speed of the Black Sparrow Wing was fully utilized, it would take about twenty two-hour periods to fly here.

She wanted to set up a dangerous scene before Li Shiming's arrival.

Ren Fei'er was skilled at such things. Qingyi Island was a small sea island noted on the map because it was one of the many bases for hunting sea beasts.

Recently, sea beasts in the Heavenly Sea Sea Line had been somewhat active. Most cultivators had already gone to participate in the defense there, so there were no other cultivators present here.

Ren Fei'er took out an Array Plate and installed four Spirit Stones on it, activating the Array Plate.

A small Formation spread out, protecting a ten-meter radius around her.

Then, she took out a porcelain bottle containing Spirit Summoning Liquid, a concoction that could attract sea beasts, which she had stolen from her mother.

She poured a drop of the Spirit Summoning Liquid from the bottle, watching as it turned into a fragrant mist.

"Is that a bit too little?" she muttered, frowning slightly.

She poured more Spirit Summoning Liquid from the bottle, but this time she was not careful enough and poured out almost half the bottle at once.

Suddenly, the fragrant mist spread out, enveloping all of Qingyi Island.

This fragrant mist was quite peculiar, not moving with the wind but spreading perfectly centered around Ren Fei'er.

As the scent of the Spirit Summoning Liquid reached the sea surface, schools of fish poked their heads out of the water and swam towards Qingyi Island.

The schools of fish reached the vicinity of Qingyi Island and, oblivious to danger, leaped ashore, striving to get closer to the source of the smell even if that meant leaving the water.

The sea beasts arrived a bit later but five showed up at once.

"Too much?" Ren Fei'er, observing the frenzy of the fish and the approaching five sea beasts, realized she might have made a mistake.

It took only a moment to attract five sea beasts, and given the craziness of the fish, it was clear that more sea beasts would be arriving.

She was not concerned; as a Qi Refining Seventh Level cultivator, her Magic Artifacts were not to be underestimated.

With the protection of the Formation, she felt no need to worry about her safety.
