In the Grand Hall of Lectures, except for Li Shiming, all the other Nascent Soul cultivators were in a state of passive reception; the only one providing feedback to Qi the Great Cultivator was Li Shiming.
Li Shiming's 191 brains were operating at full speed.
His life-bound magical treasure, the IBMz15, continuously cross-referenced the content of Qi the Great Cultivator's lectures with the knowledge he had previously learned, dissecting and gradually analyzing the depths of the material until it was fully understood by him.
Qi the Great Cultivator, sensing the feedback received from Li Shiming, was inspired to further insights on the Five Elements, and conveyed these insights through his lecture.
Both Li Shiming and Qi the Great Cultivator gained benefits from this process, particularly Li Shiming, who gained even more.
