Cultivation is just so scientific!

Li Shiming and his clone, Li Yuanba, were holding the 'Cloud Stepping Order', which emitted a dazzling light, enveloping their bodies.

Li Shiming sensed intense spatial energy fluctuations; he knew this was the 'Cloud Stepping Order' resonating with the Green Field Cave Heaven.

Amidst the spatial energy fluctuations, he and his clone Li Yuanba simultaneously felt their vision blur, and when they could see clearly again, he found himself on a green prairie.

Li Yuanba was not beside him; through their mutual connection, Li Yuanba was in another part of the prairie, quite some distance away from him.

He fully unleashed his 'Divine Sight' and 'Telepathy', as well as his divine thought.

Green Field Cave Heaven is not any mysterious grotto heaven; there are many records about it, especially after he gained access to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect's Book Collection Pavilion at the Nascent Soul stage, discovering historical records about Green Field Cave Heaven from the jade scrolls within.

The Green Field Cave Heaven opens for ten days, with the first nine days designated for seeking fortunes within. The cave heaven had been closed for four hundred years and, after these four hundred years of recuperation, a new batch of resources has emerged inside.

The most notable feature of Green Field Cave Heaven is that the resources within are mostly linked to promotion to the Nascent Soul stage.

During the nine days, all cultivators would gather resources, but the most important opportunities only appear after the ninth day.

At the center of the cave heaven, three altars will appear, and all the cultivators who enter will be transported to the center to compete for these altars.

Of course, cultivators can choose not to compete for the altars; after being transported to the center, they can immediately move away from the center.

In the previous nine days, nearly every cultivator who entered had gathered quite a lot of resources. When two cultivators meet, the most likely scenario is that they will try to seize each other's resources.

Li Shiming recalled the information about Green Field Cave Heaven and sensed the situation within the grotto heaven. As the records stated, the rules inside the cave heaven differ somewhat from the outside world.

This is not surprising, as the cave heaven was created by a powerful being, and its internal rules were also established by them.

The changes to the rules in Green Field Cave Heaven are not significant; only flight is prohibited, and otherwise, there are not many alterations.

Therefore, during the first nine days of resource gathering, cultivators need to walk on the ground with their feet.

Li Shiming tried it out, activating his Divine Foot Skill, and as expected, it was restricted, and the space movement ability could not be utilized.

"This is truly troublesome!" His Divine Foot Skill, being his most crucial means of attack and self-preservation, had been banned, leaving him somewhat helpless.

He thought about how to maximize resource collection.

It's known that the resources here are unobtainable outside.

Why the Golden Core cultivators who leave Green Field Cave Heaven have a significantly increased chance of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage is not only due to the effect of the three altars but also these unique resources.

He released twelve silver corpses, except for Silver Corpse Nanming, which was too precious, and he did not want to risk it.

The twelve silver corpses were controlled separately by his twelve brains, spreading out in a line to the farthest controllable distance, with him as the base.

He also let the Illusion Spirit Jiao return to its normal size of fifteen meters, staying invisible beside him.

Having done all these preparations, he began searching the prairie in a line formation, his search range many times that of other Golden Core cultivators.

Not to mention he also had his clone Li Yuanba searching for resources elsewhere, aiming to find the most resources.

Since he was obsessed with resources for Nascent Soul promotion, the five golden cores in his body made the advancement process full of uncertainties, compelling him to prepare more thoroughly.

Li Shiming's silver corpses were now all at the Silver Corpse Peak power level, comparable to Great Elder levels when judged by human cultivator standards.

Reaching the extreme of this Silver Corpse Realm is not easy, having required him to invest a large amount of Corpse Refining materials.

The leftmost silver corpse released its divine thought, finding the grass on the prairie half-height, making it difficult to find hidden spiritual objects amidst the grass without flying.

These grasses of unknown species appeared ordinary but could interfere with the probing of divine thought, requiring continuous divine thought to part the grass to inspect the situation within.

The silver corpse parted the grass, revealing a ginseng with a seven-leaf flower on its head within the perception of the silver corpse's divine thought.

The moment the silver corpse sensed the ginseng, a Third Grade Lizard leaped out from the grass, biting toward the silver corpse.

The Third Grade Lizard had been hidden in the grass, unnoticed by the silver corpse, and under the cover of the grass, it was less than a meter away from the silver corpse.

Under normal circumstances, the silver corpse would not be able to react to an attack from such a close distance by a Third Grade Lizard.

Though the silver corpse possessed battle skills, its reaction speed was ordinary, relying solely on strong defense, sharp claws and teeth, and corpse poison for both offense and defense.

But this silver corpse was controlled by one of Li Shiming's brains, almost matching his reaction speed.

So when the Third Grade Lizard lunged to bite, the silver corpse kicked it, striking right under the lizard's chin.

The Third Grade Lizard's entire body was kicked airborne, landing heavily far away, and after falling into the grass, it blended with the grass, vanishing from the silver corpse's perception.

Li Shiming was taken aback; the silver corpse's kick was powerful, and its strength was comparable to that of a Body Refinement Grand Elder.

The Third Grade Lizard, being only mid-Third Grade in strength, seemed like the kick would have severely injured it, but upon kicking it, he realized something was amiss.

The defense of the Third Grade Lizard far exceeded expectations; the full-force strike from a Silver Corpse Peak didn't inflict much damage on it.

The silver corpse cautiously checked the surroundings, failing to find any trace of the Third Grade Lizard, but Li Shiming knew very well that the lizard was still nearby.

The Third Grade Lizard was likely guarding the ginseng, and with its defensive power, even a normal late-stage Golden Core cultivator would struggle to kill it.

It seems that in Green Field Cave Heaven, gathering resources isn't easy.

The silver corpse no longer pursued the Third Grade Lizard but extended its sharp claw to dig around the ginseng's edge.

Just as the ground was unearthed, revealing the main body of the ginseng, the Third Grade Lizard appeared from behind the silver corpse, pouncing toward it.

The silver corpse swung its other hand back, acting almost simultaneously with the lizard's pounce.

The Third Grade Lizard was struck and flown, yet again, it suffered little damage; even the silver corpse's claw only scratched the lizard's skin.

Even the corpse poison had no noticeable toxic effect on the lizard, which vanished again after landing on the ground.

However, this gave the silver corpse enough time to extract the ginseng.

Li Shiming felt the ginseng in his hand through the silver corpse.

The ginseng was only Third Grade, but he could sense a special energy inside the ginseng that aids the promotion to the Nascent Soul stage.

In the Green Field Cave Heaven, any Third Grade resource carries this special energy, which is what all the Golden Core cultivators entering most hope to acquire.

After obtaining the ginseng, the silver corpse didn't bother with the Third Grade Lizard any longer and left the area.

Li Shiming wasn't aware that the various major forces had their respective methods for exploring Green Field Cave Heaven, rather than forcibly gathering resources as he did.

The biggest challenge in Green Field Cave Heaven is the grass's obstructive effect.

Don't be deceived by the silver corpse's ease in handling the Third Grade Lizard; it was Li Shiming's reaction speed, far surpassing a normal Great Elder's, that made it seem so easy.

His spirit was exceedingly powerful, and combined with the help of his natal artifact, the IBMz15, he could achieve extreme reaction speed when controlling the silver corpse.

Otherwise, against a Third Grade spirit beast capable of launching an attack at close range at any time, the silver corpse wouldn't even manage to defend itself, let alone counterattack.

Despite this, to kill the Third Grade Lizard with just a silver corpse is impossible.
